l LHuman Life versus Animaife on Earth

 

The last night I was reading the history of Indo Pak while reading the book I wondered when I read this paragraph that man’s fight on earth is just for ego not for country matter or any other superior cause. People on earth are fight for personal cause and let the people be realized that they are fighting for the people and country.

George Orwell was uneducated man but he was the servant of the British Regime in India when the British were ruling the Subcontinent. He was a police Sub Inspector in Burma. He tell in his life story that when he was designated in Burma as a Police Inspector to control the Burmans because they make hue and cry against the British Government.

To control the Burmans the British Government ordered George the Inspector to arrest the Burmans illegally but making charge against them legal so that people could not raise their voice against the British Government. According to the writer he arrested al lot of Burmans and locked them up without any cause. The main reason of this was that the British Government was dying in the Subcontinent slowly and slowly like a big elephant.

George Orwell says that he shot an tamed elephant without any cause just to save the British Turban in Burma. What he says I write in simple words for humble readers of the world. I thought that the politicians make cruelties on the innocent people just for their false go.

Reading the book I came to know that politics is a fraud and the politicians make fool the people of the country just to loot the country treasure and these days I see the same condition in every country because the people are becoming poorer and poorer and the rich are becoming richer and richer especially in the Age of Democracy and cunning leaders call the method of ruling the country.

Actually behind democracy fraud and corruption work in the finest way. George Orwell exposes his life experience through his shooting a tamed elephant just for British ego in Burma. I think, the people of the whole world resist democracy because it is a blind fraud with innocent people.

Orwell disliked his job as a police officer in Burma because the natives hated the British and the British rulers. They had made his job impossible in Burma. That is why, he wanted to give up his job but he could not give it up due to be an uneducated officer with a complete family. The Burmans were being treated very badly by the British rulers. They were imprisoned without any reason. Owing to this, they hate the writer. Orwell also did not like the British rule in Burma because imperialism is a curse in any country.

“I had already made up my mind that imperialism

was an evil thing.”

Knowing about the mad elephant on the phone he went to check the real situation at the spot and found that the mad elephant had destroyed the bazaars and huts and also killed an Indian coolie and injured many other people. Reaching there all the Burmans gathered around the writer and their gathering compelled the writer to kill the mad elephant because they all wanted its meat to eat. The writer was in a fix because if he did not kill it all the people would laugh at him and it will be against the dignity of the whole British. As the text shows:

“But in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and

fro by the will of those yellow faces behind.”

The writer is true in saying that he wears a mask and his face grows to fit it. It means that he did not want to kill the elephant but the Burmans were expecting   killing the elephant before their eyes. Keeping in mind the whole situation he thought to shoot the elephant before the Burmans. In the real sense, he did not want to kill the elephant. But he shot the elephant just to save the British dignity before the Burmans. Further he thought if he did not kill it all the Burmans would laugh at all British. As the text shows:

“And if that happened it was quite probable that some of them

would laugh.

Actually the writer killed the mad elephant just to avoid looking fool before the natives standing all alone. It was his thinking that was not read by the Burmans standing among them alone with a small rifle. In the real sense, he shot the elephant in order to save the British Government prestige in Burma. They called him Sahib so he acted like a Sahib.

To sum up, after killing the elephant all the Burmans’ opinion was different: the older supported the writer’s decision to kill the elephant for public safety. But the younger did not support the writer’s idea of killing the elephant. They considered to kill the elephant is equal to murder a man. So they opposed the writer’s decision.

“The older men said I was right, the younger men said

it was a damn shame to shoot an elephant

for killing coolie.”

But they could not do anything except raising their opinions in angry moods before the writer. So according to the writer the murder of the coolie provided him a pretax of killing the elephant.
