In Bihar’s Rohtas district Dadan is known as “monkey man” for looking after an army of monkeys.
“Feeding so many monkeys surely is not an easy task. But most households of the village contribute and they do it willingly. I started off by feeding 45 monkeys, but now there are 772 monkeys,” says Singh.
Says a villager, Daya Shanker, “Those who beg for themselves are called beggars. But when you beg for others, I feel that is the biggest form of charity.”
“Once I was surrounded by dacoits and I called out for the monkeys and they helped me. Since that day I decided to take care of monkeys,” says Dadan.
“The government should understand that our country is a holy place and it is the monkeys who helped conquering Lanka. So they should take care of monkeys as at some point these monkeys might help our country,” Dadan adds.
Funny as it may sound, but these primates will remain Dadan's priority.
