Who doesn’t like Mowgli, a boy who is abandoned in an Indian jungle during a tiger attack? Mowgli is perhaps the most famous character created by Rudyard Kipling.
Mowgli is adopted by the Wolf Mother Raksha who gives him this name- a name that conquered the hearts of children around the world. The word Mowgli means frog; he gets this name because he has no fur, and refuses to sit still. Sher Khan, the tiger demands that they give him the baby, but the wolves refuse.
Mowgli grows up with the pack and soon becomes one among them. He hunts with his brother wolves and is able to stare down any wolf. His ability to remove the thorns stuck on the paws of his brothers is deeply appreciated as well. Finally, Mowgli stumbles across a village where a woman named Messua adopts him. This forces him to come to terms with his human nature.
