The Indian subcontinent has witnessed drastic changes in its environment, fauna, and flora in this century. This book, written in the late 1970s by Shri R.S. Dharmakumarsinjhi, is a unique record of observations on wildlife spanning more than five decades. The stories in this collection are told from both the shikaris and the naturalists point of view, providing a glimpse into Indian wildlife of the not-so-distant past.

His story is at once devastating and inspiring, at once an ...
