About Me

respectThere was a sacred stand of trees. The government of India sold it and the developers went to collect them. There they found a group of women standing in the way. The government ordered them to leave, but they didn't. The soldiers came back on elephant's backs to crush the women. The women stayed still. When the elephants neared the group of women, the women held the trees. The elephants stopped and the soldiers ordered them forward. The women began to sing. The soldiers ordered the elephants forward. The women held the trees and sang. The elephants knelt down before the women. The elephants bent their knees and the soldiers could not move them.Elephants are a matriarchal society. They hold distinctive titles and have roles to fulfill as leaders of their communities. They have burial grounds and pay homage to them. Elephants, are cool.
