Change in lifestyle is making villagers more and more hostile. As expected, the influx of modern gadgets and exposure to outside world through mediums such as internet and TV is taking a toll on the very identity of an average village Indian who a decade ago was considerate, knowledged, well mannered, contented and more importantly tolerant of fellow creatures.

This leopard incident and the score of other similar incidences are not something which the wildlife enthusiasts should only worry about, but should make the nation as a whole thinking - Our people are losing their identity and not tolerant of anything...

Leopard will indeed catch up with the tiger and even winover it in the extinction race if this trend continues.
