• The X narrate the story of Amrita Devi, a X woman who, along with
more than 363 other Xs, died saving the Khejarli trees. Nearly two
centuries back, Maharajah Abhay Singh of Jodhpur required wood
for the construction of his new palace. So the king sent his soldiers
to cut trees in the nearby region of Khejarli, where the village is
filled with the large number of trees. But when Amrita Devi and
local villagers came to know about it, they opposed the king's men.
The feudal party told her that if she wanted the trees to be spared,
she would have to give them money as a bribe. She refused to
acknowledge this demand and told them that she would consider it
as an act of insult to her religious faith and would rather give away
her life to save the green trees. This is still remembered as the great
Khejarli sacrifice. Some Xs who were killed protecting the trees
were buried in Khejerli village near Jodhpur.

pleaded with his father, but Mallya senior was adamant because he
