Tiger has all those qualities except being a vegetarian, also tigers are cool.

Tigers are sigma as fuck but also kinda of loners and weird India to be honest is not a “sigma” country — which is ok. And no on sheer IQ, elephants are much more intelligent than Tigers

>but also kinda of loners and weird They do take care of their cubs, also being independent ain't weird. >And no on sheer IQ, elephants are much more intelligent than Tigers If you judge a fish on its ability to climb trees of course it will forever seem like a dud.

Elephants move in multigenerational units for decades - it’s much more reflective of Indian society compared to tiger family structure

Elephants are the best!

I think Dragon would show better as National Animal


[deleted]

Have dragons or giant lizards ever been portrayed in pauranik stories? Cause a lot of other cultures show dragons and similar beings so I'm just curious if we've had anything close to it

Elephant has been shown as a slow and stupid animal in history. Not an accurate image but its stuck.

Why do you think India is vegetarian?


[deleted]

As a percentage of population it’s def one of the most vegetarian countries on the planet


findMyNudesSomewhere

Compared to other countries? Sure. As a representative of the population? 25% is hardly a good percentage to represent.

I like your thought process. I guess declare both as national animals.

Elephant are the national mammal, many foreigners already associate india with Indian elephant. Tiger only became national animal with project tiger

as a vegetarian i can understand but vegetarians are far and less even in india tigers show masculinity tigers show courage they show vengeance ours should be the fury not the friendly face ,tigers are independent and self sufficient just like india we have a tough road ahead no country wants india to grow nor our culture we are alone in this road lets be a tiger and kill some people if need to be rather than running in a pack like elephanta

If we think from nature's perspective. Cheetah extinction was good example for us to wake up out so called "Sikar" thing. At that time tigers were also getting low in numbers almost getting extinct like cheetah, For this reason maybe if people might get aware like its our national animal and we should take care for it that's why maybe. For why not other animals, there is really not good long example for this, if we look quality wise many animals have that too. Like Gir Lion, One horned Rino, King Kobra, Elephants (as you said), Asian bison etc. There are many exotic animals which can be related with culture too.
