India's Struggling Mahouts and Their Elephants - Bhaskar Krishnamurthy

India is home to many ancient cultures and practices; many of them thrive into the 21st Century, while others struggle to find a place in the quickly changing world. One of the struggling cultures is that of mahouts: the practice of raising and bonding with elephants, as if they were almost family. Journalist and photographer Bhaskar Krishnamurthy tells Boyd that since India banned using elephants for manual labor, they're used mostly to entertain India's tourists, and perform at weddings and other ceremonies. Many mahouts now struggle to make a living and the younger generations are beginning to abandon the practice.
