On the left bank of the Ganga, which emerges from Himalayan foothills, there is a long
stretch of heavy forests. There are villages on the fringes of the forests, inhabited by bamboo
cuters and farmers, but there are a few signs of commerce and pilgrimage. Hunters, however
have found the area and ideal hunting ground during the last seventy years, and as a result,
the animals are not as numerous as they used to be. The trees, too, have been disappearing
slowly and as the forest recedes, the animals lose their food and shelter and move further on
into the foothills. Slowly, they are being denied the right to live.
Only the elephants can cross the river. And two years ago, large area of the forest was
cleared to make way for a refugee settlement camp, a herd of elephants finding their
favourite food, the green shoots of the bamboo, in short supply -
waded across the river. TheyCrashed through the suburbs of Haridwar, knocked down a factory wal, pulled down several tin
roofs, held up a train & left a trail of devastation in their wake until they found a new home in a
new forest which was still untouched. Here, they settled down a new life - but an unsettled,
varied life. They did not know when men would appear again, with tractors, buldozers
and
dynamites. (summary)
