The Tiger King Class 12 Question Answer | English Notes By Atul Sir। UP Board & CBSE
The Tiger King - Pure Hindi Summary For Up Board
यह कहानी प्रतापपुरम के राजा जंग जंग बहादुर की है। जब वे पैदा हुए थे तो ज्योतिषियों ने भविष्यवाणी की थी कि राजा की मौत बाघ के कारण होगी। यह सुनकर 10 दिन का बच्चा ही बोल पड़ा - "सभी मरते हैं, बाघ से मरना क्या बुरा है।"
राजा 20 साल का हुआ तो उसे पता चला कि प्रतापपुरम में 100 बाघ हैं। उसने प्रण लिया कि वह 100 बाघों को मारेगा तब तक वह राजा बना रहेगा।
उसने एक-एक करके बाघों को मारना शुरू किया। उसने 70 बाघ मार दिए। फिर प्रतापपुरम में बाघ खत्म हो गए। तो उसने अपने ससुर की रियासत में जाकर बाकी बाघ मारे। उसने 99 बाघ मार दिए।
100वें बाघ को ढूंढना बहुत मुश्किल हो गया। बाघ कहीं मिल ही नहीं रहा था। राजा बहुत गुस्सा हुआ। उसने बाघों की प्रजाति को ही खत्म करने का आदेश दे दिया।
इसी बीच उसके बेटे का तीसरा जन्मदिन था। राजा ने अपने बेटे के लिए बाजार से लकड़ी का बाघ (toy tiger) खरीदा। वह लकड़ी का बाघ बहुत सस्ता था पर उस पर नुकीली लकड़ियाँ थीं।
जब राजा उस लकड़ी के बाघ से खेल रहा था तो उसके हाथ में एक नुकीली लकड़ी की फांस घुस गई। वह छोटी सी फांस से घाव बन गया और उसमें इन्फेक्शन हो गया और वह पूरे हाथ में फैल गया। डॉक्टरों ने बहुत कोशिश की पर राजा को बचाया नहीं जा सका। 3 दिन में राजा की मौत हो गई।
इस तरह ज्योतिषी की भविष्यवाणी सच हो गई। राजा की मौत 100वें बाघ के कारण हुई, पर वह असली बाघ नहीं था, बल्कि लकड़ी का नकली बाघ था। कहानी व्यंग्य करती है कि राजा ने 100 बाघ मारे पर अंत में एक नकली बाघ से मर गया। यह घमंड और क्रूरता पर चोट है।

The Tiger King - Proper Summary in English Language)
SUMMARY IN ENGLISH (For CBSE Board)
This story is about the King of Pratibandapuram, Jilani Jung Bahadur. When he was born, astrologers predicted that the King's death would be caused by a tiger. Hearing this, the 10-day-old baby spoke - "All die, what is bad in dying from tiger."
When the King became 20 years old, he came to know there are 100 tigers in Pratibandapuram. He took a vow to kill 100 tigers to remain King.
He started killing tigers one by one. He killed 70 tigers. Then tigers finished in Pratibandapuram. So he went to his father-in-law's kingdom and killed remaining tigers. He killed 99 tigers.
Finding the 100th tiger became very difficult. Tiger was not found anywhere. The King became very angry. He ordered to finish the tiger species.
Meanwhile, his son's third birthday came. The King bought a wooden toy tiger from market for his son. That wooden tiger was very cheap but had sharp wooden splinters.
When the King was playing with that wooden tiger, a sharp wooden splinter pierced into his hand. That small splinter caused wound and infection spread in whole hand. Doctors tried hard but could not save the King. The King died in 3 days.
Thus the astrologer's prediction became true. The King died due to 100th tiger, but it was not a real tiger, it was a wooden toy tiger. The story satirizes that King killed 100 tigers but died by a fake tiger. It is a satire on pride and cruelty.

टाइगर किंग का चरित्र चित्रण - शुद्ध हिंदी में UP Board
टाइगर किंग इस कहानी का मुख्य पात्र है। उसका असली नाम जिलानी जंग जंग बहादुर है, जो प्रतापपुरम का राजा है।
वह बहुत घमंडी, क्रूर और बहादुर है। जब ज्योतिषियों ने भविष्यवाणी की कि उसकी मौत बाघ से होगी, तो 10 दिन के बच्चे के रूप में भी उसने मौत को चुनौती दी और कहा सभी मरते हैं।
वह बहुत दृढ़ और जिद्दी है। वह 100 बाघ मारने का प्रण लेता है ताकि ज्योतिषियों को गलत साबित कर सके और राजा बना रहे। वह अपने राज्य में 70 बाघ मारता है, फिर ससुर के राज्य में जाकर 30 और मारता है।
वह जानवरों और इंसानों के प्रति क्रूर है। वह सिर्फ घमंड के लिए बाघ मारता है, जरूरत के लिए नहीं। वह अपने अधिकारियों को सजा देता है और बाघों के लिए शादी तक करता है। वह दूसरों के लिए बाघ शिकार पर रोक लगाता है और बाघ ढूंढने के लिए भारी टैक्स लगाता है।
वह मूर्ख भी है। वह नहीं समझता कि 100 बाघ मारने से वह नहीं बचेगा। वह 100वें बाघ के लिए इतना जुनूनी हो जाता है कि वह गुस्सा और पागल हो जाता है।
अंत में वह लकड़ी के खिलौना बाघ की छोटी सी फांस से मर जाता है - 100वां बाघ। उसकी मौत व्यंग्यात्मक है। उसने 99 असली बाघ मारे पर 100वां नकली बाघ उसे मार देता है। उसका घमंड उसकी मौत का कारण बनता है। वह उन क्रूर शासकों का प्रतीक है जो सत्ता का दुरुपयोग करते हैं।

CHARACTER SKETCH OF ASTROLOGER - IN PURE ENGLISH for CBSE

He is knowledgeable and truthful. When Tiger King is born, he predicts that King's death will be caused by a tiger. Even when 10-day-old baby challenges him, he remains firm.
He predicts that King will kill 99 tigers but will be killed by 100th tiger. His prediction comes true in an ironical way - King dies by wooden toy tiger which is the 100th tiger.
He represents fate and destiny. Even if man tries to change fate by killing 99 tigers, destiny cannot be changed. His prediction proves true and shows satire on pride of King.

ज्योतिषी का चरित्र चित्रण - शुद्ध हिंदी में UP Board
ज्योतिषी एक महत्वपूर्ण पात्र है जो टाइगर किंग की मौत की भविष्यवाणी करता है।
वह ज्ञानी और सच्चा है। जब टाइगर किंग पैदा होता है तो वह भविष्यवाणी करता है कि राजा की मौत बाघ से होगी। जब 10 दिन का बच्चा उसे चुनौती देता है तब भी वह अपनी बात पर अडिग रहता है।
वह भविष्यवाणी करता है कि राजा 99 बाघ मारेगा पर 100वें बाघ से मरेगा। उसकी भविष्यवाणी व्यंग्यात्मक तरीके से सच होती है - राजा लकड़ी के खिलौना बाघ से मरता है जो 100वां बाघ है।
वह भाग्य और नियति का प्रतीक है। भले ही आदमी 99 बाघ मारकर भाग्य बदलने की कोशिश करे, नियति को नहीं बदला जा सकता। उसकी भविष्यवाणी सच साबित होती है और राजा के घमंड पर व्यंग्य दिखाती है।

THE TIGER KING - LONG QUESTION ANSWER (5-6 Marks)
_Q1. Describe how Tiger King killed 100 tigers and how he died._
_Ans:_ Tiger King was King of Pratibandapuram, Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur. Astrologers predicted his death by tiger. So he took vow to kill 100 tigers.
He killed 70 tigers in his own state. Then tigers finished. He married a princess of a state with many tigers and killed 30 more tigers there. Thus he killed 99 tigers.
Finding 100th tiger was difficult. Dewan brought a weak, old circus tiger to forest. King shot it but missed. Officers secretly killed it so King thought he killed 100th tiger and celebrated.
For his son's third birthday, he bought a wooden toy tiger with sharp splinters. A splinter pierced into his hand, caused infection and he died in 3 days. Thus 100th toy tiger killed him and astrologer's prediction became true ironically.
_Q2. How does The Tiger King satirize the pride and cruelty of kings?_
_Ans:_ The Tiger King is a satire on pride, cruelty and misuse of power by kings.
The King is proud and cruel. He kills innocent tigers just to disprove astrologer and for pride, not need. He kills 99 tigers, bans tiger hunting for others, imposes high tax, punishes officers, marries for tigers. He misuses power.
He is foolish. He thinks killing 100 tigers will save him from death. But fate cannot be changed. He kills 99 real tigers but dies by a small wooden toy tiger - the 100th tiger.
Author Kalki makes fun of such kings who are cruel to animals and humans, who are proud and think they can change destiny. The story also gives message of wildlife conservation - tigers should not be killed for pride.
_Q3. What is the theme or central idea of The Tiger King?_
_Ans:_ The main theme of The Tiger King is satire on pride, cruelty, misuse of power and fate.
Story shows a King who is proud and cruel. Astrologer predicts his death by tiger. To prove astrologer wrong, he kills 99 innocent tigers. He misuses power - bans hunting, punishes Dewan, imposes tax, marries for tigers. This shows cruelty of kings.
Second theme is that fate cannot be changed. Astrologer said 100th tiger will kill King. King kills 99 but dies by 100th wooden toy tiger. Destiny is fixed.
Third theme is wildlife conservation. Killing tigers for pride is wrong. Tigers are endangered and should be protected.
Author Kalki uses humour and irony to satirize kings. King's death by toy tiger is highly ironical and shows that pride leads to fall.
