Note of Thousand - in simple language - 'elephant.' But, that same elephant has been questioned - is it Nepali Elephant? No one has come out to prove 'yes'. Instead, there is much to show that 'no' is the basis.
As the dispute escalates, Nepal Rastra Bank has taken safe measures - turning elephants. Now, thousands of notes printed in the portrait of the twin elephant Ram-Laxman born in Nepal will come for the next decade. Nepal Rastra Bank said that the process has been taken forward. The elephants were born eight years ago in Khorasore elephants in Chitwan National Park.
Now the elephant printed on the note is called African by some. Narendra Pradhan, who has a scholarship on the elephant, considers it Asian. There are three types of elephants found in Asia. Maximus, Indus, and Sumatranus. All three subspecies look the same. Maximus can be found from Nepal to Sri Lanka. Experts say that the ivory and ear of the elephant printed on the note resembled an elephant found on Sumatra Island around Indonesia. However, being a portrait would be difficult to confirm. The principal is assessed.
Former Governor of Rastra Bank Dipendra Bahadur Chhetri says, “If you put an elephant then. It did not mean whether it was from Nepal or from abroad. ”It is not a matter of indiscriminate decision making in the expulsion of notes. The Governor of the Rastra Bank is included in the note printing committee, while the heads of the National Park and the Department of Wildlife Conservation and Archeology are also included. The Deputy Governors of the Nation Bank and the Executive Directors of the Money Management Department are on the Committee. He provided his thematic image, says Trilochan Pangani, a former acting director of the Nation Bank.
But the bank's current officials do not know how the elephant was collected since it was time to start photographing the elephant. Spokeswoman Lakshmipanna Niraula, who is also the executive director of the bank's money management department, said that the rambling elephant is the rarest in the world and it is trying to contain that rarity. The birth of a twin baby elephant, considered to be rare in the maternal dominant family, is considered rare in the world.
Only in Nepal and Thailand in Asia is there a record of the birth of twins. In Africa, twin elephants have been found in Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. "Having a baby weighing 80 to 100 kilograms is extremely difficult for a baby to be in the abdomen for 22 months," says the cardiologist at the National Nature Conservation Fund, "so it is very rare to have twins with such large animals."
The note is meant to be a portrait rather than a photo for security management. The central bank of India has kept a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in a recent note series. Such portraits are meant to be forged with fake notes. The portrait photo is one of the many security arrangements on the note. Published on Annapurnapost (19th September 2019)
