Book Description
Few tigers have reached the celebrity status of Ranthambore’s former queen, Machhli. Even years after her death, the crocodile-fighting superstar’s extended family continues to rule the national park, and one man has borne witness to the drama and intrigue, love and heartbreak for almost two decades. Batti Lal Gurjar shares his extraordinary life story and images in this captivating volume that captures the hardships of growing up in the wilds of Rajasthan, human-animal conflict and the majesty of the Royal Bengal Tiger. His riveting stories have enough drama to do a soap opera proud. The escapades of Machhli, Sundari, Zalim and the rest of the tribe are heartwarming and devastating in equal measure. As a proud custodian of the tigers and their habitat, Batti Lal’s account and images reveal a profound humanity and fragility of the everchanging Ranthambore National Park and her precious inhabitants. This book is also a timely reminder of how the knowledge of local populations is critical to save both the forests and all their inhabitants, at a time when our natural resources are increasingly under threat.

Book Description
Fateh Singh Rathore devoted the better part of his life to making Ranthambhore National Park a safe haven for the tiger population to live and grow in. He was intolerant of red tape and led a tireless crusade against poachers. Globally respected for his work, he was unpopular with Indian forest officials whenever he sought to point out anything that went wrong or the falling tiger numbers. In such cases, the official reaction was always denial—in other national parks such as Sariska or Panna, this kind of denial has led to a near wipeout of the entire tiger population. Fateh survived a bid on his life, fought stiff resistance from a powerful lobby of bureaucrats, and was even barred entry into his beloved national park, all because he would not give up his fight to save the tigers. Yet, against all odds, he remained an eminently upright man, admired by Rajiv Gandhi, Bill Clinton, Amitabh Bachchan, and wildlife activists like Valmik Thapar. Deeply loyal to his friends, Fateh remained an unconventional family man, a gifted amateur actor and a lover of the good life. Soonoo Taraporewala’s insightful biography, based on her years of association with this indomitable ‘tiger warrior’, not only brings alive Fateh Singh Rathore’s extraordinary legacy but also opens up wider questions about wildlife conservation in India.
