The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope As I journeyed along the India-Nepal border, my second visit to Raxaul, India, was marred by a troubling sight. Amidst the routine of travel and commerce, my attention was drawn to the Sirsiya River. What I beheld was not the serene flow of a typical river but a dismal sight – its waters were a deep, ominous black.  I approached the river anxiously, but the workers who were digging a ditch along the bank warned me not to get too close.

  In the midst of our ever-evolving world, the challenges faced by wild animals are becoming increasingly critical. One of the most complex issues they encounter is food scarcity, as highlighted by a recent encounter with a monkey displaying a surprisingly angry demeanor while devouring its meal. This observation underscores the growing impact of human activities on wildlife, shedding light on the intricate relationship between wild animals and their struggle for sustenance. During my travels, I have noticed a significant shift in the behavior of monkeys, who are now approaching humans more closely and occasionally resorting to aggressive tactics, such as biting and scratching, to secure their share of resources. This alarming trend creates an atmosphere of fear and terror for humans, emphasizing the consequences of our actions over an extended period. It is evident that the current situation is only the beginning of a potentially escalating conflict between humans and wild animals, ne
