The Monk and the Monkeys

Shyam Sadhu, a self-proclaimed monk in Uttar Pradesh, regularly feeds hundreds of Rhesus Macaques who are in constant conflict with the local human population due to habitat loss. Even though they are wild, the monkeys have never harmed him. They come in hordes when they see him, have their fill, and then return to the forest.
