'Mowgli Girl' found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys

‘Girl Mowgli’ found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys She is possibly eight, prefers to walk on all fours, and screeches to express herself — much like the monkeys that raised her in Uttar Pradesh’s Katarniyaghat wildlife sanctuary until she was “rescued”. At the district hospital in Bahraich, where she is learning to be human, the child is lovingly called the “girl Mowgli” — after the much-adored, wolf-raised protagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s iconic children’s tale The Jungle Book. She was first spotted by villagers foraging in the forests of the sanctuary’s Motipur range in January. The child was naked with a mop of matted hair, tanned by exposure to the elements, and claw-like nails. She was with a troop of monkeys; and was at ease with her wild family. The locals informed police about the unusual sighting and a team brought her to civilization. But the rescue was not easy as the monkeys put up a stiff resistance. The girl was scared of huma...

Sonam Wangchuk: 3 Idiots was not my biopic, Says the real-life Phunsukh Wangdu

Ladakhi educationist Sonam Wangchuk was the ‘inspiration’ for Aamir Khan’s character in the 2009 film, 3 Idiots. But the constant questions about the film have left Wangchuk completely fed up. Sonam Wangchuk, who is famously known as ‘the real-life Phunsukh Wangdu from 3 Idiots’ , is “fed up” of answering questions about the character or the film. “[3 idiots] was not a biopic that was based on me; it was just ‘inspired’. Let it be just that — a story for entertainment,” says Wangchuk, who was in Delhi recently to attend a fund-raiser for his latest initiative, the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives (HIAL), Ladakh. After all these years, Wangchuk still gets questions about the film, but he’s averse to using any of that for publicity or financial gains. Why’s that? “You don’t have to reinforce this obsession the nation already has,” Wangchuk says. “[The country] is not doing well in terms of inventions — na chamatkaar na avishkaar ho rahe hain, kyunki sab toh filmein ka...
