?A courageous tribal woman from the Badi Jhiriya village in Madhya Pradesh fought off a?leopard?with her bare hands and snatched her son from its jaws. She had absolutely no weapon to defend herself but she chose to ignore at that moment for her son.? ?
A mother's love is the purest and the most selfless and there is fighting that. She would literally walk on fire and risk her own life for her child. One can say that is what this mother did when she saved her child from the claws of the leopard by fighting it unarmed.?
A Baiga tribe woman named Kiran was sitting beside a fire with her three children to keep them warm outside their hut. But in a matter of moments, a leopard appeared out of nowhere and caught hold of her son Rahul with its jaws and ran away.?
According to the tiger reserve's director, Y P Singh Kiran without thinking twice told both of her sons to stay put inside the hut and immediately ran towards the forest where she saw the leopard taking away with her son and chased it, but the big cat took cover in the bushes and then held the child with its claws
But Kiran did not give up and tried chasing away the leopard with a stick and also raised an alarm.?
"The leopard probably got scared with the woman's courage and left the child. While Kiran immediately took her son in her arms, the feline attacked her. However, she overpowered the big cat with her valour," the official said.
In the meantime, the villagers rushed to the spot where Kiran was after hearing the alarm leading the leopard to disappear in the forest, but it left the son behind. This courageous act, however, did come with some battle scars.?The boy received injuries on his back, cheeks and eyes and his mother also got wounded in the attack.?
Buffer zone ranger Aseem Bhuria later got them admitted to a primary health centre and provided immediate assistance of Rs 1,000.?The forest department will bear all the expenses of their treatment.?
Many people on Twitter lauded this woman's courage for fighting a leopard all alone including?forest department staff and state Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
There's nothing that can be compared to a mother's strength.?
