Throughout his reigned, he took a great care of a number of species of exotic and non-exotic animals as his pets in a private semi-public mini zoo that he built within the garden of his castle. The study attempts to understand how the privacy of these animals were leveraged by the Sultan i.e. as “mediators” between him and his human subjects, which in turn explains the concept of privacy on his behalf.
