Veteran Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated that The Elephant Whisperers winning an Oscar might "force" the Narendra Modi-led union government to not move ahead with the "widely-opposed elephant-unfriendly" amendments to the 1972 Wild Life Protection Act. The Congress MP also added that elephants were officially declared a national heritage animal in India in 2010.
