| Description |
FEEDING THE MONKEYS ON JAKKO. Everyone who has bsen at Simla knows Jakko. the hill which figures so largely in the life of dwellers in that famous centre of Indian Government and Indian social life. Kipling has sung of jakko. and many another writer has described it, or worked it into the thread of his story. Most of the residents at Simla come and go with the seasons, but the monkeys who dwell on Jakko, and who are there daily fed at the public expense, never depart. Every monkey in India is a sacred animal, but the monkeys of Simla receive their pension and their good treatment more because they arc a recognised feature in Simla life and a source of amusement to the visitors than because of any marked sanctity in their demeanour or conspicuous virtue in their lives. |
