During the Mughal era, a nomadic tribe known as Kalandars started the practice of dancing sloth bears for the entertainment of the royal family members. For the last 350 years, the sloth bear had been the target of exploitation by this tribe. Ending of the Mughal regime with time created unemployment for the kalandars tribe and transitioned the dancing bear trade to cheap roadside entertainment for villagers and tourists who pay them to watch jumping of bears in pain, so this is how this dancing bear business used to run in which pain of animal becomes gain of humans.

With the cooperation of Government officials, the Agra forest department and wildlife SOS has been able to rehabilitate more than 600 dancing sloth bears. They are living a peaceful life in four large sanctuaries across India, one of them is Agra Wildlife SOS, enjoying a life where they will never again have to bear the trauma of cruelty and pain.
