In India, monkeys, like elephants, are revered as sacred animals. Indians are very fond of monkeys, especially the most common rhesus monkeys in India, allowing them to roam freely through the city, ignoring the nuisance and destruction they bring, and not only do not kill monkeys, but also feed monkeys.
This connivance based on religious beliefs has caused them to multiply at a geometrical rate and begin to intrude into human territory to compete for living space. Compared to the gentle Indian cows walking slowly in the streets, the Indian monkey bosses do not pay attention to humans at all. The reason why they do not live in the forest, but choose the urban area in life, is because there are too many people who directly feed the monkeys with food, causing the monkeys to think that it is very convenient to eat in the urban area.

Today, monkeys are rampant in India, and in the Indian capital, New Delhi, near the parliament building alone, there are nearly 5,000 ordinary rhesus Macaque monkeys. These monkeys can be said to be the demons in the hearts of the Indian people, and the Indians have given them a threatening nickname: "Street Monkey Gangsta Street Monkey Gang".
In India, monkey robberies are commonplace, and these monkeys have also learned to extort money, robbing people of valuables. What to do after the grab? They would immediately circle around people, signaling that they were being snatched up for food in exchange for valuables. This extortion is a cultural phenomenon that can be spread among monkeys through mutual learning. This has also led to an increasing number of monkeys engaged in extortion.
Some of the residents were overwhelmed, just a few scoldings, the monkeys could understand, and then they would be beaten violently by the monkeys. Being bullied like this by monkeys, the people are really bitter. Many times, pedestrians walking on the road are beaten by monkeys for no reason.
In addition to street extortion, these monkeys will also destroy public facilities, Varanasi is located in the southeast of Uttar Pradesh, India, located on the left bank of the crescent-shaped curved section of the middle reaches of the Ganges, the current population of 2 million, because of the long history, the buildings are very close to each other, so the laying of optical cables are on the road, but this plan died due to the physical attack of the monkeys. In less than two months, these monkeys living in Varanasi were able to destroy the newly installed cables.

This directly made the monkey the biggest obstacle to transforming Varanasi into a modern city. In addition, the monkeys have repeatedly killed people in India, and in 2007, SS Bajwa, the deputy mayor of New Delhi, was attacked by three or four monkeys while reading a newspaper on his terrace, and eventually SS Bajwa fell from the balcony while trying to drive them away, and died shortly after.
In late March 2018, in the village of Tabasta in the Indian state of Orissa, a monkey broke into a home and kidnapped a baby. The baby was later found dead in a well.
Also in 2018, a 72-year-old man named Dharampal Singh was suddenly attacked by a group of monkeys on his way home. The monkeys kept throwing bricks at the old man from the trees on both sides of the street, hitting him in the head and chest, killing the old man alive.
In 2020, 35 monkeys in India fought in groups in houses, causing the house under construction to collapse and the owner of the household and a worker to die on the spot.
According to the Indian government's estimates, every day, at least 1,000 people are bitten by monkeys throughout India, and the potential disease problem has caused great harm to the health of the people.
In The fruit-growing region of India, in The state of Himachal Pradesh, monkey populations have grown fivefold over the past decade, causing at least $300 million in crop losses. This is only a loss for one city.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > how to solve the human-monkey contradiction</h1>
How to solve the contradiction between man and monkey? Mass murder is impossible, because although the Indian-monkey conflict continues to intensify, many Hindu faithful still believe that monkeys are the embodiment of Hanuman, feel that monkeys are not malicious, and even take the initiative to feed. Socio-religious traditions eventually lead to a vicious circle because they are accustomed to being fed and also believe that humans are harmless, hence the fear of human loss, and when they are actively looking for food, they become aggressive if humans do not feed them. This also makes it more and more arbitrary and more domineering.
The parliament in New Delhi had figured out a way to hire 40 "monkey chasers" who trained monkeys, hoping that they would use the old method of "shouting" to drive the monkeys gathered in the capital back into the forest. But the monkeys are very clever, and they will return to the city again and then become more aggressive.
In the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, the number of monkeys has grown from nearly 60,000 in 1985 to more than 300,000 today, and the number of monkeys has been seriously affected by people's lives, so Himachal Pradesh has announced the birth control of monkeys and provided a reward of 500 rupees per monkey for those who capture monkeys. The captured monkeys will be sent to the rescue center for birth control surgery, treatment, and then they will be sent back to the captured place for release.
Then the number of monkeys in the whole of India is too large, such a method is promoted throughout India, it is not operable, and at present, India has not found a way to solve the contradiction between man and monkey.
