The tiger is a monk. It won't bother you, or be bothered by you. It tries to maintain its composure as much as it can. Even if you are around it, it will most likely be unfazed. And even when a tiger expresses its aggression, it is mock. It's a construct.

A forest guard shares with us his chance encounter with an elephant that had strayed out of the jungle. He first landed on the railway tracks, then crossed the National Highway and ultimately also managed to fall into a coal mine pit. It was a harrowing experince for the guard as this was his first job. But he learnt something important. The elephant had not strayed. The humans, in the name of development, have entered into his home, leaving him confused.

Adivasi communities may be unlettered but they have ancient wisdom and traditional knowledge that can put development pundits to shame. But, on these rich lands — with finite wealth of coal, sponge iron, bauxite, aluminium, and several other minerals – live some of the poorest people. Laws such as the FRA, 2006, and the PESA Act, 1996 need effective implementation.
