Initially, fictional monkey people from the work of the English writer Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" were called banderlogs. However, at present, this concept already includes a number of, as a rule, informal definitions.
The word Bandar Log first appeared in the Book of the Jungle by Rudyard Kipling. Translated from Hindi, it meant "monkey people." In Russian editions, the word "banderlog" is most often found when referring to a single monkey (or "banderlog" when it comes to a whole flock), so this option of writing is more familiar to the domestic reader.
Explanation of the initial definition
The banderlogs from the work of an English writer are fundamentally different from the rest of the characters in The Jungle Book. The monkey people do not recognize the Great Law of the Jungle, they also do not have their own law, which allows them to put themselves in principle outside of any laws.
However, they are constantly going to draw up their laws and customs, choose a leader for themselves, but they never do this, because their memory is not enough even until the next day. To justify this, the monkeys wrote the proverb: "The jungle thinks later what the Bandar-log thinks now."
They do not have their own language - the monkeys simply borrow and repeat what they once heard from other animals. Also, monkey people cannot create. Therefore, they have nothing of their own except imitation. However, it soon bothers them as well.
Despite the apparent amusement and limitedness of these animals, they are very dangerous. They are dangerous because they can, for the sake of fun, without any sense and need to throw a stone, a stick, attack the crowd or even kill. To kill just like that - aimlessly, out of boredom. For banderlogs do not have any conscious goals and plans; when a thought appears in the head of one of the monkeys, then immediately, without hesitation, the other members of the pack follow it.
