Question

Read the poem carefully and
A story that took place long ago
Famous by the name of Chipko,
It spoke of a very special bond
With trees, of which humans were
Oh so fond.
Some two hundred years ago
Lived the Bishnois in Rajasthan,
Their love for trees and nature
Was beyond any measure.
The Maharaja of the land,
However, was cruel and unkind
He wanted trees to be felled
So he could have a palace built,
A lady, Amrita Devi, her name
Vehemently protested the Raja's claim
She went ahead and hugged a tree
"I won't let you cut them", said she.
Her daughters too, opposed the king
But they and Devi, were brutally killed.
Soon the villagers got the clue
To each tree, they stuck like glue.
Day by day, the rebels rose
The king's intentions were now exposed.
He had to accept a grave defeat
Forced he was to retreat.
A similar movement, also called Chipko
Was once again started a few years ago,
In Mandal village in the seventies.
