Answer 1

The stoy is a satire on the conceit of those in power. The king is known to be an extremely conceited person right from the beginning. AS a ten day old infant, he pronounced tigers beware!"By challenging the astrologer's prediction, he also challenges his death. Moreover, killing seventy tigers within a period of ten years and bringing the entire species close to extinction, marrying for the convenience of killing more tigers, exercising his authority to punish or tax people according to his whims and fancies,flaunting his power and richness in sending about fifty rings to the British officer's lady or paying a bill of three lakh rupees, having a temper that would make other people lose their job or even life etc.are all part of this conceit.He does nothing for the sake of his people in thecapacity of a king.

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

he Tiger King comes across as a person who was given to understand that everything  belonging to the English was worth emulating and everything Indian was useless. So  much so that the milk given to the young prince was from an English cow. He was  brought up by an English nanny, tutored in English by an Englishman and if he ever saw  movies they were English films. This lifestyle was not peculiar to the king’s family alone  but it was the case of most of the feudal lords all over India. This resulted in the lopsided  development of these rulers and was the main cause of their alienation from their culture, environmental needs of their kingdom. In their attempts to please the Britishers they had .different set of norms for their own subjects. Hence, where compassion was required .they showed ruthlessness and brutality.
