 TOPIC INTRODUCTION
TITLE: THE TIGER KING-ABUSE OF POWER
THEME: The Tiger King’ is a story about the transience of life and power. It is a satire on
the conduct of the people in power. It is found that most of the time, the rulers are not interested
and bothered about working for public welfare. Rather, they spend their time in foolish things.
Most of the people, who surround these powerful people, are also interested in taking advantage
of the proximity for their own welfare.

Appropriateness of Title: “The Tiger King” is a very appropriate title for the story for
several reasons. First of all, the king is crazy about tiger hunting and he marries a princess whose
father’s kingdom has a sizeable tiger population. He kills one hundred tigers just to fulfill his
vow. Secondly, the king with all his frenzy, anger and ruthlessness is as ferocious as a tiger.
Thirdly, he dies of a sliver prick received from a wooden toy tiger. The prediction that a tiger
would cause the king’s death also comes true. Since the story revolves around the king and the
hundred tigers that he kills, it could not be better titled than “The Tiger King”.

Moral/ Message of the lesson: Through this satirical story, the author has rightly
portrayed how human beings have subjected innocent animals to untold torture and death, merely
to fulfill their own whims and fancies. The Maharaja’s indiscriminate killing of tigers led to their
extinction in some states, but the Maharaja was oblivious of the grave consequences his action
was leading to. The author strikes home the message that the ruler’s primary duty should be the
welfare of the citizens

TED-TALK(BY-NEHA SETHI):
Abuse of power refers to the wrongful or unethical exercise of authority
or influence by individuals or entities in position of control. It involves
the misuse of power for personal gain, to the detriment of others or
society at large. Abuse of power can manifest in various forms,
including corruption, exploitation, oppression, and disregard for the
rights and well-being of others. It is a pervasive issue in many aspects of
human life, from politics and business to personal relationships, and it
often leads to inequities, injustices and social hard. Addressing and
preventing abuse of power is a key concern in promoting fairness,
justice and ethical conduct. The Ted Talk given by Nehan Sethi clearly
explains and revolves around the topic abuse of power .Even though she
doesn’t talk about the lesson tiger king, she explains about three
different cases in India where power was abused .The first case is about
Priyadharshini a law student who was raped, the second case about
Sanjeev Nanda who killed 6 people by running his car over them, the
third one is about a murder when service was denied. In all their cases
justice to the victims was denied, she clearly explains on how it was
denied and how media affected the people in playing a main role in their
judgement and what should the people of India do in future scenarios.
