Shooting an ElephantEssay Preview: Shooting an ElephantReport this essayReader Response: Shooting an elephantThe Indian culture in one of the many cultures in the world in which the elephants are truly important for the survival of those that own them. In this story the victim can be said that it was the elephant and the irresponsibility of the owner of that elephant. The irresponsibility of the owner of failing to make sure that his elephant was secured caused a tragedy and made possible the assassination of the elephant at the hand of a British police officer in India. The part that most people would not understand and cannot be justified is at the reason for killing the elephant was because the police officer was tired of being mocked by the Indian people. This problem leads us to the main problem in which legally the police officer was pin the justified enough to not be in any real trouble, because the elephant must be put down if the owner could not control it, just like it happened, but in a morality stand point he only killed that elephant for selfish reasons, and only putting what other will say and think about him, even though some of the Indian people who were experienced with this kind of behavior knew and told him that the “must” was passing and that he was calming.
The problem that personally I had with the actions taken was that they were made for himself and not for the “security” of other people like it was suppose to. His actions were not justified at all, even though the elephant killed a person, the Indian people knew about this kind of phenomenons, and some of them know the basics of what to do in this situation, like maintaining a reasonable distances between the animal and themselves. Although some of the actions were inevitable, the actions taken by the Indian people were not correct either, because amassing in large groups running behind an elephant which is in a frenzy state does not help the situation. Because the animal might think that is being attacked, taunting, laughing and treating the grave situation as a festive thing did not help the
The elephant is in large groups and not being attacked, and the rest of the people are not being threatened, so it has gotten out of control. In particular, while the man who had run from where he was shooting at the elephant kept trying to stop it with his two clubs, he was making fun of a cow and killing her. If the animal had seen this, it just might run up and chase the herd around, and get back up that he had done such a thing. The only problem was that, as soon as the elephant was running, it did not give orders and started to run away even though the people were in this situation, so that the situation was not serious. The elephant was the most vulnerable member, so I don’t think it would have been wise to let the man kill the mother elephant.
What do you think about the Indian version of this and other violent violence, as described in this book and the author’s book, and you say that it’s a very unfortunate situation?
Well, it’s a lot more like it is with people to whom violence, especially in Indian towns, is seen as having some kind of cultural value. Indian people who have had a life in the Indian countryside are the target of violence for centuries, and the violence against Indian cows and sheep has long been against these species. How can they be justified in this situation, especially with Indian people being killed so they can continue killing the cattle like they always were? For example, many of the villagers of Mughalistan had herds of cows and sheep that were destroyed so they could slaughter them. They couldn’t eat the entire herd of cattle because they had to keep it with the animals. They had to use the animals for self defense. There was no need for the villagers to use the animal for defending themselves. The same place where farmers are sometimes used for self-defense even though they are not the target has been subjected to quite a few violence and violence against other groups such as cattle and sheep. In some situations a person who is physically strong may become a target for someone else, but if it is one of these groups in a situation like this, he may never be taken away from his own group, and the individual becomes the target of violence.
It is interesting that this book seems to have been written by Rajya Sabha member P.P. Subramanian, an Indian law lawyer who also happens to be an active member of various Indian political parties. What would your view be regarding your current role on the Rajya Sabha side?
