Across India, elephants have spent generations in chains - for tourist rides, performances, in temples and in noisy processions. But that story is starting to change. Through rescues and care, @PETA India with the help of sanctuaries like @wildlifesos is helping to bring injured and exploited elephants back to health. At the same time, humane innovations are helping communities honour tradition without harm: life-sized mechanical elephants now participate in temple ceremonies, and Ellie - a realistic, animatronic talking elephant visits schools to teach empathy. These solutions mean real elephants can stay in forests with their families, heal, and live in peace. From faith leaders to classrooms, from sanctuaries to temples, a quiet movement is turning into a national shift toward compassion. Watch this powerful story on The Changemakers, Season 5, only on NDTV.
