But once in a while, the <strong>exceptional (Far beyond what is usual in magnitude or degree) <\/strong>relationship \u2014 across borders of all kinds \u2014 appeals to a more fundamental part of us all<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is either cruel <strong>irony (Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs) <\/strong>or <strong>prophecy (Knowledge of the future (usually said to be obtained from a divine source)) <\/strong>that in Carl Linnaeus\u2019s 18th-century <strong>taxonomic (Related to practice of classifying plants and animals according to their presumed natural relationships) <\/strong>classification, the sarus crane \u2014 the state bird of Uttar Pradesh \u2014 is called Antigone antigone. In ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles\u2019 play, Antigone, the <strong>eponymous (named after a particular person or group) <\/strong>character <strong>defies (Resist or confront with resistance) <\/strong>the king to mourn her brother. When the princess is told that she is breaking the law, she defends her defiance by stating that there are rules more fundamental than the laws of man. But, her pain and <strong>eloquence (Powerful and effective language) <\/strong>notwithstanding, Antigone meets a tragic end. Centuries later, in UP, a sarus crane and her human friend are the main characters in another tragedy when human-made rules <strong>trump (Get the better of) <\/strong>affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohammad Arif of Amethi district in UP, rescued an injured sarus in February 2022, who recovered in a couple of months. But rather than fly away, the crane chose to stay, and the unlikely friendship between man and bird provided much heart-warming content. The sarus, however, is a protected <strong>species (A specific kind of something) <\/strong>under the Wildlife Protection Act \u2014 as such, the forest department had no choice but to intervene and relocate Arif\u2019s friend, away from his care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laws, no matter how well-meaning, carry the potential for tragic consequences. Wild and <strong>exotic (Being or from or characteristic of another place or part of the world) <\/strong>animals must be protected from <strong>poaching (Hunt illegally) <\/strong>and <strong>trafficking (Trade or deal a commodity) <\/strong>\u2014 and they are not pets. Yet, at times the oddest of friendships can be the most beautiful. That is why many viewers likely <strong>stifled (To suppress) <\/strong>a <strong>sob&nbsp; (Convulsive gasp made while weeping) <\/strong>when the young elephant, Raghu, is taken away from his caregivers \u2014 parents, really \u2014 Bomman and Bellie, in The Elephant Whisperers. The law deals in what it imagines as universals, as it must. But once in a while, the exceptional relationship \u2014 between man and animal, or across borders of all kinds \u2014 appeals to something fundamental. Therein lies the tragedy of Antigone in ancient Greece and Antigone antigone in today\u2019s UP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to update your vocabulary on an ongoing basis?
