The story is a poignant satire on the importance of self-importance that powerful people assume.
The Maharaja heard the prophecy that he'd be killed by the 100th tiger in the future.
He ordered to kill all the tigers in the forest and called it 'self-defense.' Once all tigers were killed in his kingdom, he married a girl from another kingdom and killed all the tigers there as well.
The Maharaja continued killing all the tigers until all the specie was extinct. His kingdom suffered greatly due to his acts.
Lastly, he was killed by the 100th tiger which was actually a toy that cost only two anas (money).
