Bikal The Terrible- The Tale of Frightened Tiger

Bikal is the original ‘He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’. The best way to ward off Bikal the Terrible is to avoid taking his name. The word bikal inspires such fear and awe that even a figer gets scared of Bikal and tamely allws himself to be fooled by two daredevils. This is a delightful folktale from Madhya Pradesh.
