The tiger king by kalki-a critical appreciation?

Answer 1

The story 'The Tiger King' is satire on the conceit of those in power. Most of the time the rulers are not interested in serving the people or work for the welfare of the public; instead they spend their time foolish pursuits. Even the coteries who surround these power centers are interested in taking advantage of the proximity for their own welfare. One of the ways in which these most powerful people show off their waywardness is through game-hunting. They are callous and indiscriminately destroy the natural habitat. The story conveys the message that what is important for today is a new awareness about ecology i.e. a realization that the earth is not our inherited property but we have borrowed from our future generations. Conservation of wild life is therefore very necessary. There is a growing awareness of the necessity of conservation and preservation of wildlife. Grass root environment consciousness is also on the increase, and more and more people are stepping in towards contributing to the conservation of wildlife. This story arouses a renewed interest in us regarding the preservation of ecology.
