Who is Parbati Baru?
Now 68-year-old Parbati Barua, also known as Hasti Kanya, was born in a small village in Gauripur, Assam. Elephants were like life to him and he had a connection with them. He was born in a family of Assamese landowners who had a centuries-old relationship with elephants and started playing with them in his childhood. In fact, his father Prakritish Barua was an internationally recognized elephant expert.
His family used to capture elephants and sell them in circuses and temples. But the government made a rule that it is illegal to capture and sell elephants in this way. But before that, Barua had also gone elephant hunting with her family, when she was 14 years old when she caught a baby elephant.
But after the government banned the capture and sale of elephants, this family came forward to protect the elephants. Barua also dedicated his life to the cause of elephants. Barua won the understanding of elephants, she knew how to tame elephants and prevent them from harming people.
The journey begins as an elephant's mahout

He helped three state governments in dealing with and capturing wild elephants. Also, wherever there is elephant activity, it is present. He has dedicated his entire life to the care and rearing of elephants. She said that she finds solace in taking care of the elephants like her own children and that Parbati Barua is a good example of a woman who can accomplish any task if she is determined.
