Bandar-log
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bandar-log may refer to:
- Bandar-log (Hindi: बन्दर-लोग), a term used in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book to describe monkeys - specifically, Langur monkeys. In Hindi, Bandar means 'monkey' and log means 'people'. The Bandar-log feature most prominently in the story "Kaa's Hunting", where their scatterbrained anarchy causes them to be treated as pariahs by the rest of the jungle. Their foolish and chattering ways are illustrated by their slogan: We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true. (see Text of The Road-Song of the Bandar-Log). It is stated repeatedly in the Kipling story that the Bandar-log "have no king." Ironically, the Disney film version gave them one: King Louie. He is an orangutan, a species nonexistent in India.
- Bandar Log, the name of a veteran rugby team in Marseille (France) founded in 1981. The players are all 35 up and they just organised the "Festival Vet's" during the Rugby World Cup with 4 tournaments in Marseille and international teams.
- Bandar-Log is also a garage-funk/folk-rock trio in Auburn, AL.
