<P> The parable of the blind men and an elephant originated in ancient Indian subcontinent, from where it has widely diffused . It is a story of a group of blind men, who have never come across an elephant before, learn and conceptualize what the elephant is like by touching it . Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk . They then describe the elephant based on their partial experience and their descriptions are in complete disagreement on what an elephant is . In some versions they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they come to blows . The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to project their partial experiences as the whole truth, ignore other people's partial experiences, and one should consider that one may be partially right and may have partial information . </P> <P> The earliest mentions of this premise occurs in the Rigveda, and a complete version of the story is traceable to the Buddhist text Udana 6.4, dated to about mid 1st millennium BCE . According to John Ireland, the parable is likely older than the Buddhist text . </P>
