Well since the mother doesn't like to go inside and won't move the cub inside, let's say nature is doing what it blooming well wants to do in this case!
You guys are really lucky to see that. Every accredited zoo that I know of in the U.S. keeps all of their big cat cubs off exhibit for the first two months. (As a cat lover and photographer, I find this very frustrating).

How would they have dealt with this situation? If the tiger wouldn't go in and was keeping the youngster outside, I really don't see what options they would have!

exactly - so because she's outside and visible there has probably been a lot more publicity than the Zoo would have liked initially as you say - but the upside of this is that there is a very new tiny tiger cub to be seen by the public (well both mother and cub are very well tucked away in part of the enclosure that does offer some privacy and protection from the elements) the issue that would arise should the weather turn inclement would be trying to get the mother & cub inside for the benefit of both? I'm not sure you can pursuade a tiger to do anything it doesn't want to do really and Kirana is well known for not liking to go inside - so fingers crossed we have a nice temperate summer for the next few months
OK, if you mean the window opposite June's Pavilion (which I'm sure you do) then the cub must have been moved, it spent most of its time at the other end of the enclosure.
