The elephant, Lord of the Jungle, held a particular fascination for him. After completing his education he returned to Lahore but the partition of the country in 1947, forced him to seek refuge at Haridwar. Here he studied the elephant in its many moods-in a state of musth, engaged in battle with another to win the favour of a female elephant, mating, trumpeting or stamping through the valley.
