Default Real Life Mowgli


Everyone has read or seen tales of Mowgli as they grew up. The character of Mowgli from Jungle Book was Rudyard Kipling’s best creation and everyone who grew up in the 90s has the song “Jungle jungle pata chala hai” imprinted in their minds. It is the story of a child who grew up with wolves and other animals of the jungle. There was been severe real life accounts of children who have grown up with animals from a young age. They are known as feral children. There are Indian case of Dina Sanichar of Sekandra (1867), Kamala and Amala (1920), Ramachandra (1970s), and a recent case of an unnamed boy in 2007. Dina Sanichar (pictured above) at the age of 6 years was removed from a wolf’s cave in 1867. The case of Kamala and Amala is one of the best documented and perhaps the most controversial. According to the diary of The Reverend Joseph Amrito Lal Singh, they were rescued from wolf’s den when they were 18 months (Amala) and 8 years old (Kamala). When they were brought to live in an orphanage, they walked on all fours and denied cooked meals or clothes to wear. They often bit other people. Ramachandra was found in 1970s in the Kuano River in Uttar Pradesh at 12 years of age and lived an amphibian lifestyle. Even after human contact, he spent most of time in the nearby rivers and lakes. He died in 1982 after being scalded with boiling water by a woman, whom he had frightened. Most of the feral children exhibit difficulty in acquiring normal human social and emotional skills.
