Question

One cannot be truly human and civilized unless one looks upon not only fellow men but all

creations with the Eyes of a friend. Throughout India, edicts carved on rocks and iron pillars are

reminders that 22 centuries ago, Emperor Ashoka defined the king’s duty as not merely to

protect citizens and punish wrong doers but also to protect animal life and forests. Ashoka was

the first and perhaps the only monarch until very recently to forbid the killing of a large number

of species of animals for sport or food. He went further, regretting the carnage of his military

conquests and enjoining upon his successors to find their only pleasure in the peace that comes

through righteousness.

Along with the rest of mankind, we in India – in spite of Ashoka – have been guilty of wanton

disregard for the sources of our sustenance; we share your concern at the rapid deterioration

of flora and fauna. Some of our own wildlife has been wiped out, miles of forests with beautiful

old trees, mute witnesses of history, have been destroyed.
