Introduction
The Tiger King is a satire of eccentric nature of the ruling class. From the ancient time,the kings, the sultans and the white men in power had been hunting birds and beasts in the forest. Their foremost target had always been the biggest and the strongest wild cat-the tiger. Hunting in the past was a fun, a pastime, a matter of pride for those in power. A stuffed tiger was a decoration piece in big drawing rooms. But today the fast decreasing number of tigers is causing a deep concern to environmentalists and nature lovers. Tigers are killed to meet the demand of the Chinese for medicinal purposes. The killers are professional poachers and the tribal people.
The Tiger King gives us the funny portrait of an Indian king who resolves to kill 100 tigers in order to disprove the prophecy of an astrologer. But the real hundredth tiger was in fact, killed by a hunter The king died of infection caused by a wooden tiger. In this way, the 100 tiger takes its final revenge upon the tiger king.
Eccentric-सनकी
pastime-मनोरंजन
poachers-शिकारी
prophecy-भविष्यवाणी

He was brought up by an English governess. He was tutored in English by an Englishman. When he was twenty years old, he took the reign in his hands.
The Maharaja continued his campaign of tiger-hunting with rare single-mindedness. Within a span of
ten years he killed 70 tigers. It was his master strategy to marry a girl of a state which had a large tiger
population. So he was able to kill 99 tigers in all.The Tiger King could pay any price to maintain his kingdom. He had to give a bribe worth three lakh rupees to a high ranking British official to retain his kingdom. At last, the hundredth tiger took revenge upon him.
