381:, referred to above by me, an FA promoted in 2007, has had no reviews. It is a vital article. I'm not particularly familiar with the topic, but there is brain power on WP among editors who have edited it or others who have edited India-related articles on religion or art (users Redtigerxyz, Ms Sarah Welch, Johnbod, Kautilya3, Utcursh, Ceoil, ...) not to mention FAR regulars. I'm sure some sprucing up would be welcomed.

Fourth: Elephants are vegetarians. In the wild, they can act on a perceived threat by charging another animal, tossing, or stomping them. But they don't dismember another animal and stand around watching the blood gush. If you steal them from their mothers before they are weaned, and break them in

Third: The elephant is merely the vehicle of human intent. We don't say X was executed by the executioner; we say X was executed by King Y the
Terrible. We don't say, "Rape by Hugh Hefner's swimming pool." We name the human male
