ELEPHANT MEN
In Nepal, almost all elephant men are traditionally Tharus, a tribal group native to the southern regions with ethnic and social characteristics similar to the people of the Gangetic plain.
All are organized into a formal government structure patterned on elephant regiments of the old India maharajas. The mahout, phanit, and pachua form a three-man group that is attached to each elephant, much like an armoured squadron in a modern army.
The mahout must first be able to give the elephant a sense that he is very powerful, very strong. He must fear you before you can master him-just like a bad child that must be controlled.
