Summary of the Tiger King : The Tiger king is a short political satire on
the pride and ego of kings in particular, and of all those in power in general.
It also draws attention to the cruelty being meted out to animals and calls for
measures of protect the tiger which is close to extinction.
Kalki beings on a humourous note telling the reader that the Tiger King, he is going to introduce us to, is already dead. To relate the manner of his death he being with the day this king was born. The Tiger King was born Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur, Maharaja of Pratibandapuram. Astrologers predicted that king would one day die. Hearing the inevitable a voice spoke and asked them to be more exacting rather than state what everyone knew. All stood stunned to see that it was the ten- day old Jung Bahadur who had not only spoken but spoken intelligently. The chief Astrologer then announced that the Maharaja would die by a tiger. Again the chief spoken saying terrifyingly, “let tigers beware”. Of cause Kalki admits that this could have been a rumour, but it did match what followed.
At the age of twenty, Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur ascended the throne. He soon learnt of the prediction and set out to kill his first tiger. He proudly announced this to the chief astrologer only to learn that it would be the hundredth tiger that would be his undoing. Taking this as a challenge the king declared that only he would have the right to hunt tigers in his kingdom. Within ten years he killed seventy tiger, some with ease and some after a fight, but he did kill them all. But this resulted in the population of tiger becoming extinct in Pratibandapuram. He resolved this problem by marrying into the royal family of a state which had a great number of tigers and soon took his score up to ninety-nine. Now the hundredth tiger seemed to be impossible to find. Following a surge in the king’s bad temperament the Dewan arranged for a tiger from a park, and the tiger king fulfilled his target by shooting this tiger. Yet, unknown to him, his shot did not kill the tiger.,, so his score remained at ninety nine. The tiger was killed by one of his men, and buried as per the king’s orders.
On the son’s third birthday the king picked a
wooded tiger as a gift. While the king and the prince were playing with the
tiger, a wooden splinter pierced the king’s hand. This tiny injury flared up to
such a major sore that it had to be operated. The tiger king died during the
operation. So, in a dramatical and ironical manner, the hundredth tiger finally
did kill the king.
