No, the author of 'The Tiger King', Kalki does not have faith in astrology.

Explanation:

  • The story 'The Tiger King' has been written by Kalki.

  • The author Kalki does not believe in astrology.

  • We can say this because Kalki put across various instances in the story where he ridicules the king and the astrologer who made the prophecy.

  • The astrologer predicted that one day the tiger king would have to die. This is humorous because everyone has to die one day and predicting that the king will die one day is not a prophecy but a natural phenomena.

  • The astrologer predicted that the tiger king would be killed by a tiger as he was born under the hour of the bull. In the end the readers see that it is not the real tiger but a tiger toy which kills the king.

  • The king believed the prophecy and his whole life he hunted tigers. He damaged his kingdom and Kalki represents all this in a satirical manner. Hence, we conclude that the author of the story The Tiger King has no faith in astrology.
