If Elephants could talk – Ranjeeta Raam

Description

If elephants could talk,
they would narrate tales
of forests
of pain,
of rivers
of suffering,
of freedom
of bondage.
But they can’t,
so I must.

But when the gentle Ganeshan is ill-treated, Meenakshi decides to speak up to save other elephants from a similar fate.

Will Meenakshi find her voice again to help the elephants?
