IMPORTANT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The Tiger King by Kalki
Question 1.
When was the Tiger King in danger of losing his kingdom? How was he able to avert the danger?
Answer:
The Tiger King, to defy the astrologer's prediction and evade his death, started hunting and killing tigers. He banned the hunting of tigers by anyone except him. Whoever disobeyed him was punished, and all their property and possessions were confiscated. A high-ranking British officer wanted to hunt tigers in Maharashtra's kingdom. The Maharaja replied to the officer that he could hunt any other animals except tigers. The British officer's secretary wanted the Maharaja to allow the British officer to take his picture holding a gun and standing on top of the tiger carcass. The Maharaja refused the permission of the officer again. After that, the Maharaja was in danger of losing his kingdom. Therefore, he gave 50 diamond rings worth three lakhs to the wife of the British officer. Through that particular act, the Maharaja was able to avert the danger.
Question 2.
What did the British officer's secretary tell the Maharaja? Why did the Maharaja refuse permission?
Answer:
The British officer's secretary told the Maharaja to permit the officer to kill tigers in his kingdom. But the Maharaja did not allow him, as he thought that the number of tigers would decrease in his kingdom and he would not be able to meet the desired number of hundred.
Question 3.
Why, do you think, was the Maharaja in danger of losing his throne?
Answer:
I think that the Maharaja was in danger of losing his throne because he refused the proposal of a powerful officer twice. Actually, a high-ranking British officer came to the state. He wanted to hunt tigers. The Maharaja did not give permission. The officer sent a word asking for himself to be photographed holding a gun near the tiger carcass. However, the Maharaja refused even that proposal from the officer. As the Maharaja refused to fulfil his wishes, he was in danger of losing his throne as well as his kingdom.
Question 4.
What was the astrologer's reaction when the Maharaja told him that he had killed his first tiger?
Answer:
When the Maharaja told the astrologer that he had killed his first tiger, he announced that he could kill ninety-nine tigers, but he should be very careful with the hundredth tiger, which was the real cause of his death.
Question 5.
How does the hundredth tiger take his ultimate revenge on the Tiger King?
Answer:
A few days later, after killing the hundredth tiger, the Maharaja gifted his son a wooden tiger on his third birthday. A small sliver on the surface of the wooden tiger pierced the right hand of the Maharaja, which resulted in the death of the Maharaja at last. Hence, the hundredth tiger took his ultimate revenge on the Tiger King.
Question 6.
Why did the Maharaja decide to get married?
Answer:
The Maharaja decided to get married because he wanted to complete his mission of hunting a hundred tigers, through which he could evade his death. The Maharaja Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur, or The Tiger King, started his hunting tasks just after becoming the Maharaja of the kingdom. Within ten years, he almost killed seventy tigers in his kingdom. The number of tigers declined in his kingdom. He wanted to kill the remaining tigers to accomplish his mission.
Question 7.
Why was the Maharaja so eager to kill a hundred tigers?
Answer:
Maharaja was so eager to kill a hundred tigers because the hundredth tiger was the last one through which he could easily evade his death. He had already killed ninety-nine tigers. If he was able to kill just one more tiger, he would have no fear. Then he could give up hunting the tigers completely. Also, he had to be extremely careful with the last tiger.
Question 8.
What kind of hunting did the Maharaja offer to organize a high-ranking British officer? What qualities does the officer reveal?
Answer:
The Maharaja offered to organise any other kinds of hunting for a high-ranking British officer. For example, a boar hunt, a rat hunt, a mosquito hunt, etc. But the Maharaja refused his proposal to hunt tigers. The officer whom the Maharaj refused was so powerful during that time. The officer didn't really like to hunt or kill the tiger; he only wanted to stand on top of a dead tiger with a gun in his hand.
Question 9.
Why it was a time of celebration for all the tigers that inhabited Pratibandapuram?
Answer:
It was a time of celebration for all the tigers that inhabited Pratibandapuram because the Maharaja of Pratibandapuram declared a ban on tigers' hunting in his kingdom. No one was allowed to hunt tigers in the kingdom except for the Maharaja. It was announced that if anyone dares to fling even a stone at tigers, all their properties and assets will be confiscated.
