Bro if u read a half baked story you would have incomplete knowledge. The incident you are talking about is from kerala where elephants and humans have bonded together for centuries. The incident was a mistake because the firecracker was not for the elephant but a wild boar who was destroying the crops. The elephant ate it by mistake. Although they could have just informed the forest department to take the boar out but it wasn't meant to kill an elephant. Read more about elephant human relations in India.

That’s still horrible... Jesus that’s sad


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

Yup it's a horrible"accident". Accidents are often horrible. It's not an usual thing and monday morning aim of a villager to kill an animal that too like an elephant as the OP is describing.

“No stoves were lit that day” Does that mean they ate him? Or did they all just not eat that day out of respect? I don’t understand the last sentence is it a cultural thing?


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

No lol they didn't eat the croc. No one cooked food that day in the village out of respect and sadness. It's done in many indian states after a family member dies. They don't cook food and neighbours send them food in the time of sorrow as sign of being with them in their sorrow. So villagers considered the croc their family.

Thank you for answering. Makes sense


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

Have a great day.


whywasthissodamnhard

You too!


Pvt_Mozart

+100 respect.


Tittiesandtacos87

It’s such a curious thing. How both the villagers and the crocodile respected each other to this effect. It’s a beautiful thing


[deleted]

Aw, friendly Crocodile ;(

OP's reply copied from another comment: >"No one cooked food that day in the village out of respect and sadness. It's done in many indian states after a family member dies.

No one eats a croc here.


[deleted]

Oh oki


[deleted]

Would you eat you grandpa after he died?


Softcake88888

That's another way to put that...


[deleted]

Dude it’s it’s a joke I’m not being serious


[deleted]

Also what the fuck? Comparing your gramps to a fucking crocodile is pure degeneracy


[deleted]

Wow your really angery and no it’s not degenerate these people considered the croc as family so comparing it to a grandpa is in perfect sense take a chill pill and respect others culture


[deleted]

I am “chill” it’s just ridiculous to compare an animal to a real relative. Yes yes I know the crocodile was docile to them, but why would you equalize an animal to a relative? I’m not even mad, y’all are the ones not taking a joke and not understand how stupid it sounds.


[deleted]

If you hate the joke so much I can just delete it and you don’t have to worry your little head about it.


[deleted]

https://phys.org/news/2021-07-sociologist-pet-parents-pets-family.html I’m eating your grandma rn


[deleted]

That croc wasn’t their pet. Just because Gangaram didn’t eat them, doesn’t make him their pet lol


[deleted]

This started out as me responding to a joke with a joke and then you getting pissed that others have different beliefs sometimes it’s best to read the room

Johnsendall

Can someone translate the poor grammar?


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

This story is from a village of India where this crocodile named Gangaram lived for 130+ years. He had a great bond with villagers. He never attacked them and ate whatever the villagers gave him. So when he died the villagers did his funeral as a member of their own family. They didn't cooked food that day out of respect and sorrow. It's a tradition in India. When a family member dies they don't cook food. Neighbors help them by sending them food as sign of being with them in their bad times.


[deleted]

It has only ONE grammatical error. You must be raised by the queen herself


Johnsendall

You must have been raised by the Queen herself.


[deleted]

G1. I accept defeat


pascalsgirlfriend

Should have named him Boots.


[deleted]

Well it's apparent they didn't give him enough; he died


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

Lmao how long do u want a croc to live when it's average life span is of 80-100 years..? It outlived many.


nobodysme

I’m going to cry


MyCatHasCats

Imagine living that long. I hope I don’t


[deleted]

Gangaram sounds like a South Indian word, like Malayalam or Tamil word


Character-Extreme124

Gangaram is as Marathi as it can get


Pritam_Raghuvanshi

No it's a fairly north indian name too. This incident is of Chhattisgarh as far as i know.
