Vultures: Birds of prey that they say had once disappeared from the Towers of Silence in which the Parsees leave the bodies of their dead.

Events can get buried into the darkness of history I think some events during partition of India are lost to time and many people suffered. Man's inhumanity to man… Why are humans so creative and so destructive

And strangely enough destruction can give rise to beautiful creations. Just read the literature on the partition.
