The jungle's voice is given life through the memories of Gajraj, of battles fought, the deep bonds between creatures of the wild, and the profound connection between man and nature. The joy he and Harkat, the young one, revel in; take us on a wave of rejoicing, celebration and discovery. This evocative tale speaks to the power of memory, the resilience of nature, and the unbreakable ties that bind all living beings to the earth. "Gajraj - An Elephant Remembers" is a moving testament to the strength found in unity and the unyielding fight to preserve the natural world. The simplicity, wit and dryness of the Animal Farm, are worthy aims to try for. Where Mr. Orwell placed his Animal Farm in the characters of the Russian Revolution, Gajraj reminds us that it is our lackadaisical whimsy that turned the Sahara into a desert... and every tree demolished is putting us all at risk.

And worse yet, she then proves herself the source of something even more sinister: feelings. Torn between his villainous birthright and the virtue Amma insists on inspiring, Damien will have to decide if he will help the tender thorn in his side or cut it out at the heart.
