DAILY PHOTO: Chimp in a Cage Reading a Book at the Amritsar “Zoo”
Taken in Amritsar on April 10, 2016
So many questions:
1.) As it’s clearly not a real ape, why the need for the cage?
2.) Why did they anthropomorphize this particular primate? (i.e. Is it just whimsicality, or is it a statement of some sort?) [Most of the creatures are in animalistic poses–though often not to scale.]
3.) Did the chimp start off reading huge (Tolstoy / Dickens / Ayn Rand style) books, or did it have to work up to them?

Jallianwala Bagh is the site of a memorial for those who died in a massacre that took place at the same location in 1919. You may be familiar with the massacre from its depiction in the movie Gandhi. The killings were carried out by British troops led by Col. Reginald Dyer against nonviolent protesters convened in the park there.
