Bandar-log is a term used in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book to describe the monkeys of the Seeonee jungle. In Hindi, Bandar means "monkey" (possibly the gray langur) and log means "people" – therefore, "Bandar-log" means "monkey people." The term has also since come to refer to "any body of irresponsible chatterers."
The Bandar-log feature most prominently in the story " Kaa's Hunting", where their scatterbrained anarchy causes them to be treated as pariahs by the rest of the jungle. Their foolish and chattering ways are illustrated by their slogan: We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true. Bandar-log communicate almost entirely through the repetition of other animals' speech.
The Road-Song of the Bandar-log is a companion poem to 'Kaa's Hunting', and demonstrates Kipling's strong adherence to poetic form.
