"Beast and Man in India" by John Lockwood Kipling examines the multifaceted connections between animals and people in India during the late 1800s. The book highlights the paradoxes in this relationship, contrasting the admiration for some animals with the cruelty they often face. It questions common Western understandings of Indian cultures as universally compassionate towards animals, revealing the real conditions of animal existence in the region. Starting with an analysis of early animal protection laws in India, Kipling challenges idealistic views of Indian culture, setting out to explore the roles and myths surrounding specific animals and revealing the complex interactions between humans and beasts in Indian society.
