The man. The tusker. An epic confrontation.
The outcome - as nature ordains.
The scene - early morning, a small house in Sirikima village in Chattisgarh, 61-year-old farmer Sonsai and his family (daughter kausalya and 2 year old grandson) are asleep, a wild tusker heads towards their house, smashes the door, roof and walls cave in, Sonsai wakes up terrified, sees the tusker turn towards where Sonsai's daughter and grandson are sleeping, who are now awake and watching horrified as the tusker charges towards them...

What happens next is not ordinary...
Sonsai, in a flash, takes a burning torch and jumps between the elephant and his family and draws the attention of the tusker towards him by screaming and waving the torch. The tusker stomps on him and crushes him to death. The tusker then turns and leaves, the mother and child are spared.
What happens next is quite ordinary
The government equates Sonsai's bravery and sacrifice to Rs 25,000...
In the wild and elsewhere, might is right and the weak always lose!
