"The Blind Men and the Elephant" by Annie Mitra is a poetic retelling of the famous fable about six blind men who encounter an elephant. Each man feels a different part of the elephant—its trunk, tusk, leg, ear, tail, and belly—and comes away with a distinct understanding of what the creature is like. Their conflicting perceptions lead to a heated argument about the true nature of the elephant, illustrating how limited perspectives can lead to misunderstanding. Through this allegory, the story emphasizes themes of perception, truth, and the importance of considering multiple viewpoints to grasp a complete reality.
