End of the 22month bond betwen a tribal women and a bear cub

[Guest guest]

It was the end of a 22month bond between a triabl Chakma women of Tripura

village and a cuddly little bear cub.The lady broke into tears as the forest

officials loaded her adopted daughter (Sundari) the bear cub anto their vehicle

and drove off to the zoo. Before the seperation it was a different tale

altogether.The lady found the cub inside aforest (Kuwifang) in an injured state

,At first she was scared but later realised that the mother abondoned the

cub.The lady srought home the cub some 22 months back ,nurtured her with

motherly care that one would think of.The endangered Asiastic bear became a

member of teh Nishanis family that includes a number of slumbering pigs and

scooting chicken.Despite her poverty the mother gave Sundari , her spot of

milk.When the Zoo people approached her house Sundari ran straight to her foster

mother and sat near her refusing to accompany us to ther zoo, but now she ,the

youngest of the12 bears ,will have to adjust to the zoo atmosphere Sangeeta
