Inside the Sunderbans, the birth place of kala-jadoo, is a walled forest. It is the best kept secret in world. Nobody really knows when the small part of the forest was walled but all those who know about it believe it was done many centuries ago.
Occasionally an inquisitive local has climbed a tall tree to peer inside. Unfortunately they migrated or suffered from insanity.
A jadoogar imbued the animal spirit in the trees and they now live on flesh and blood. Bengal-tigers and other animals wander in through a breach in the wall – tigers are now near extinction.
