Indian Tiger | Sankhala K | Kharidobechobooks

The Story of the Indian Tiger is an intimate, groundbreaking blend of natural history, field research, and wildlife advocacy penned by Kailash Sankhala, famously known as the "Tiger Man of India" and the first director of India's historic Project Tiger launched in 1973.
• Firsthand Wildlife Authority: Drawing from decades spent successfully managing India's premier wilderness areas—including Sariska, Bharatpur, and Ranthambore—Sankhala delivers an unparalleled biographical look into the daily survival loops of the Royal Bengal Tiger.
• The Living Habitats: The narrative tracks the tiger through its natural ecosystem, breaking down intricate tracking secrets, territorial conflicts, hunting patterns, and reproductive behaviors in the Indian wilderness.
• A Lens on Conservation History: Beyond standard zoological data, the book functions as a fierce historical document. It exposes the author's intense real-world battles against the aggressive mid-century tourist establishments, habitat destruction, and ruthless local poachers who were decimating the tiger population for the skin trade.
• Visual Archive: A core highlight of the volume is its extensive visual documentation. The text is richly integrated with over a hundred striking photographs taken by the author himself, creating a historic time capsule of the magnificent beast roaming free across independent India.
