When was the tiger king in danger of losing his throne?
The reference to the "Tiger King" appears to be from the short story "The Tiger King" written by Kalki Krishnamurthy. In the story, the Tiger King's throne was in danger when he was an infant. The court astrologer predicted that he would be killed by a tiger, which led to a series of absurd and tragic events. To avoid the predicted fate, the Tiger King ordered a mass killing of tigers, resulting in a significant decline in the tiger population in his kingdom.
The story is a satire that highlights the absurdity of blindly following predictions and taking extreme measures based on superstition. It showcases the irrational decisions made by the Tiger King in his pursuit to prevent the predicted threat to his throne. The story serves as a commentary on the misuse of power and the consequences of acting without reason or compassion.
