"The Indigo Jackal" is a classic Indian folktale from the Panchatantra, an ancient collection of animal fables. The story follows a jackal who accidentally falls into a vat of indigo dye, turning his fur blue. Seeing an opportunity, he tricks the other animals into believing he is a divine creature and becomes their ruler. However, when he forgets his disguise and howls like a regular jackal, his true identity is exposed, and he is punished. The tale conveys moral lessons about deception, arrogance, and the consequences of dishonesty.
