The Tiger King – Important Question Answers

By Chandrashekhar Sahu, Lecturer -

 


1. Who is the Tiger King? Why does he get that name?

The Tiger King is Maharaja Sir Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur of Pratibandapuram. He earned the title because of his obsession with killing tigers to defy a prophecy that he would die due to a tiger.

2. What did the royal infant grow up to be?

He grew up to be a strong, determined ruler who was obsessed with killing tigers to escape his foretold death. He was educated in English and took over the kingdom at age twenty.

3. What will the Maharaja do to find the required number of tigers to kill?

After killing all the tigers in his own state, he married a princess from a kingdom with a large tiger population so he could continue his mission and reach the target of 100 tigers.

4. How will the Maharaja prepare himself for the hundredth tiger which was supposed to decide his fate?

He became extremely anxious and obsessed. When a tiger was finally found, he personally went to hunt it. Ironically, his bullet missed, but the tiger was killed secretly by others to keep him happy.

5. What will now happen to the astrologer? Do you think the prophecy was indisputably disproved?

The astrologer had said the king should beware of the hundredth tiger. Though the king thought he had killed it, the tiger survived. Later, the king died from a sliver in a toy tiger, fulfilling the prophecy in an unexpected way.

6. Write the character sketch of  'The Tiger King'.

The Tiger King, Maharaja of Pratibandapuram, was a proud, arrogant, and stubborn ruler. He took the astrologer’s prophecy about his death by a tiger as a personal challenge and dedicated his entire life to killing tigers. Though brave and determined, he was also cruel, selfish, and eccentric. He married a princess only to continue his tiger hunt and often misused his royal power to fulfill his obsession. His arrogance blinded him to his real duties as a king. Ironically, despite his efforts, fate proved stronger, and he died due to a wooden tiger.
