Yes, 'The Jungle Book' which features Mowgli has some elements based on real - life in India. Rudyard Kipling, the author, was inspired by the jungles of India and the various animals and cultures there. Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, represents a fictionalized version of the relationship between humans and nature in that context.
The story of Mowgli is not a completely real story in the sense that there wasn't an actual boy named Mowgli who was raised by wolves exactly as described in the book. But it is based on real aspects of India. The jungles, the animals, and the native tribes all contributed to the creation of this story. Kipling used his imagination to blend these real elements into a story that has fascinated generations. It's a story that shows the relationship between man and nature, which was very much a real - world concept in the Indian context where the story is set.
