One distinct use of the word “hug” is tied to “tree hugging,” which was first identified in India in the 1700s. The legend goes that when the maharajah wanted to build a new palace, he planned to build it on the land of the Bishnoi people, to whom trees are sacred. The Bishnoi people worship nature, and thus, the killing of anything in nature, including trees, is forbidden. A female villager noticed men about to cut down the precious Kherjri trees, and positioned herself between the men and the trees, wrapping herself tightly around the tree, legend says, hugging it with all her might. She is said to have offered her head if it would save one tree, and the maharajah’s loggers chopped her head off with an axe.
The story goes that three other girls, and eventually hundreds of Bishnoi villagers, responded in the same way, joining the protest. Legend has it that 353 people had been murdered before the maharajah ordered a decree protecting the land from future harm. To this day, logging and hunting in Bishnoi villages is still prohibited.
