It could be essential reading for Assam state except for its open claims on corruption and inaction.You get neither chance nor choice.

Instinctual Behavior: Older elephants, driven by instinct, may separate themselves from the herd and seek out a secluded area. This behavior is believed to be an adaptation to protect the group from predators and conserve resources for the younger, healthier members. These areas can be referred to as elephant graveyards due to the concentration of older elephants found there. There is more than one Elephant Graveyard as revealed in The Elephant's Graveyard.

If you roamed every continent for thousands of years, coming to consider the globe your own private football, and you were then confined to an open prison…you too might become unbalanced.”-Heathcote Williams, Sacred Elephant As for the large collections of elephant remains found in certain areas, it is important to note that these accumulations are often the result of natural factors rather than elephants intentionally congregating there.

Like the rest of his work, the focus is on working class characters, in this instance a group of Cornish kids who are terrified by and drawn to the strange presence of an old man who stalks their playground. However, extensive research and field studies have shown that there is no evidence to support the existence of dedicated elephant graveyards. Elephants do not have a predetermined location where they go to die, nor do they possess an instinctual knowledge of such places. Instead, their behavior around the remains of their fellow elephants can be attributed to their social nature and the strong bonds they form within their herds.
