I as a child dreamed of visiting India , I went finally 7 years ago although the cities had none of the sparkle ✨ and richness I imagined but the forests never let me down … they were as I read about and had a rich and bountiful variety of animals ! I love this story !
One of my bucket list wish is to visit India and explore some of the areas Jim Corbett wrote about but never had the chance but also a bit scared it has been modernized and ruined with progress so I'm happy to read his books and dream . You have my respect for following your dreams
The India Corbett and Anderson talks about are gone forever around for 80 years ago.. the current one doesn't feel same even to me and I was born in these same lands they talk about...
You'll find the lands talked about in these books not in metro cities and towns, but in the hinterland. I would advise you to visit Northeast India and Southern India (only those parts that are away from the beaten track, not cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, etc). Kerala is your best bet. Assam and Sikkim are very close seconds. It'll be a massive help if you can find any Indian who can accompany you. My elder brother studied in the UK, and he had a British friend who was deeply interested in the tribal and native culture of India. My brother isn't into those things so i accompanied his friend & three others on a tour of tribal villages and tiger reserves in the states of Odisha (my state), Kerala, Karnataka and Western Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand in the north part of India (Jim Corbett territory. The pahadi people are still exactly as they are told in his books), Assam and Northern Bengal + Sikkim (Cooch Behar and adjoining regions). I'll list some places and why i took him there down below:- -Anshi-Dandeli Tiger Reserve - Tigers and hundreds of spectacular hidden species of animals (like flying squirrels, etc) -Bhadra tiger reserve - off the beaten track and place of some of the books that they had read, -Coorg - For a version of India that is quite similar to what it was during the Raj (fun, laid back, chilled and hauntingly beautiful) -Wayanad - for the India in their books, and because they wanted to feel and touch elephants, -Biligiri Rangan hills - just a drive by, to see the hills in the real instead of on a book, -Anamalai tiger reserve - just for the drive through it and Valparai, -Pench Tiger Reserve - scene of the Jungle book. Absolutely beautiful forests, -Achanakmar wildlife sanctuary - to interact with the Gond tribals who live in the buffer zones. -Similipal Tiger Reserve - to interact with tribals like Mankidias, Santhalis, Bhumijs and others who still live in the forests, and for the elephants, -Southern Odisha - to interact with Dongria Kondhs, and Hill Maria Gonds, -Hasimara elephant sanctuary - the name says it, -Sikkim & north bengal - for the laidback life, -Kaziranga tiger reserve - for rhinos and tigers (also wild buffaloes who are usually very angry), -Manas tiger reserve - for rhinos -Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve-for tigers and Corbett, -Rudraprayag, Pauri, Champawat, Muktesar (a beauty), Nainital and Kaladhungi - for Jim Corbett, -Nayagarh & Ganjam in Odisha - they gained a lott of interest in tribal life and wanted to know more about how they live with wild animals. We also did many trespasses into tiger territories with some tribals and saw tigers, leopards, chital, sambar and other fauna on foot (something which no one can provide in these times other than tribal folk). It was the trip of a lifetime, costed us a bomb and took four months, but by the end, all our lives had changed (for the better). It was an ancient India that we saw and it was much, much better than the cosmetic world of today. Also, my home adjoins a tiger reserve so it was a nice way of easing into India for them.
@@jimmyh8090 You can still visit those. You just have to do a bit of homework. Do read my comment above this one for some insight, from a fellow lover of wildlife who also is enchanted with the same type of India that you are.
Thank you for making audiobooks about such lesser known writers. The writer has done great job of building the sense of thrill and suspense of his hunt. However, the ending of the story seemed a bit rushed and abrupt. Gladfurd seems more concerned with the thrill of the hunt than about those who are affected by the man eater and neither does he show any empathy for the animal. This is why I love Corbett. Stories of his hunt are more compassionate and he managed to make us feel sympathetic towards even the most dreaded man eaters because he always offered us an insight into how and why these animals turn into a man eater in the first place.
This is an excellent story selection and well read too. I have been trying to buy a hard copy of this book for a few years now but the few that are available for sale are very expensive. I wish books like this are brought back in print. These are works that are historically and culturally significant. Thank you for rendering it in audio form.
People did write beautifully in those days. My grandmother was brought up in jabalapur. Its wonderful to experience her early life through these stories...
I 've been listening these stories for some months now but today i am commenting first time. To be honest your way of storytelling is simply wonderful 👍 and perhaps one of the very best in this field. I have read almost all of Kenneth Anderson and J Corbett books but to hear them in such an awesome voice is Simply Wow🙏💓👍👍
Another triumph! Thanks for your hard work in creating these great audiobooks. I enjoy listening to them when I’m not feeling well. I just close my eyes and let your expert storytelling take me away. 🐅🐆🇮🇳🇺🇸
Thank you.. have been hearing your old uploads multiple times. Kind of addicted to them. Appreciate your efforts and pls try to upload more frequently👍🏻
Was waiting for next upload and here it is. i love the writings of jim corbett and kennath anderson and the way you read them make it more splendid.i wish one day to visit indian jungles of north and south from pakistan.
So good to hear from beautiful Pakistan. Thank you for commenting and listening to these stories Mr. Shah, and wish you luck for your future journey across the border!
Hello friend glad you are back. Once again you have done an excellent job with this story ! Keep them coming as I am now addicted to maneater hunting. Thanks
Apratim, this is another fantastic recording! One suggestion - when u add in sound effects like people screaming, afd a simple ramp in and ramp out function to the sound track so it fades in and out and not abruptly. Will add to the magical touch! 😀
Thanks Harshat! You're right. It does fade out abruptly and I do not like it myself. I will google how to add the ramp function to my track, and hopefully it works out next time. Thank you for the feedback. Cheers!
Very interesting story. Good to see another lesser known author’s work. The tense Dramatization and graphic details certainly add to the suspense of these tales. Love the narrative intonations. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for another beautifully read story and for bringing another rare book to our attention. Always look forward to your latest upload ,thanks for your hard work👍
Its remarkable that the author laments the change brought about by humans to the wild places in this story. It says on here that this was written in 1905! cannot even imagine the level of change (not necessarily of the good kind) that has probably happened just in the last few decades.
Nicely done again Mr. Singh. This author has penned a suspenseful tale. A little sensationalized but that’s understandable considering this was written before motion pictures and reading was one of the few forms of entertainment available to people.
This story had some gothic horror like qualities. The author clearly is trying to insert the element of the macabre here. Good entertainment though and your reading captures the tension and the spirit of the story well.
GREAT JOB SON. I HAD RECENTLY UNDERWENT SURGERY ON MY EYE. RECOVERED NOW. TODAY ONLY I SAW THIS. PLEASE DO KENNETH ANDERSON TALES. TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE ARDENT FAN OF JIM AND KENNETH. HOPE OUR WISH WILL BE FULL FILLED. GOD BLESS YOU WITH GOOD HEALTH AND WEALTH. THANKS.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! Glad to learn your surgery went well and that you have recovered. I will keep bringing more of these stories for as long as I can.
Sanu Singh ji, these books are written in English. There has to be good hindi translation available first for me to that. Hope you understand. Thank you.
Why do you affect a fake American accent when the author in question was evidently British? There is a cognitive mismatch for the listener. Reverting to your school-taught accent would be most natural and authentic.
Appreciate the comment! Two things right off the bat. First, accents are not completely entrenched from your childhood. I'm not a socio-linguist to speak about this with any expertise, but mine has been very malleable as a reflection of the places I grew up in. So what come out isn't fake as much as it is a naturally acquired accent that is pretty much default for me now. Secondly, I'm not sure what you mean by cognitive mismatch, but if accent accuracy is what you're looking for then I admit, these are a tad bit off. Thousands of people listen to these and speak favorably of them. If my diction is clear enough, the accent shouldn't bother you. And if it does, just skip it with a click of a button.
@@selvalore The cognitive dissonance is that it is clear to the listener that an obvious Indian person is trying all too hard to put on an exaggerated American accent. It sounds rather weird to someone like me who has lived in the US for more than 30 years, and who is highly familiar with the natural American accent from actual Americans. Anyway, took your tip and therefore moved on.
@@Montecristo1805 so you moved on from cognitive mismatch to cognitive dissonance? I'm sorry to break it to you but you used both of those phrases incorrectly. Anyway, good for you. Yes, I'm trying hard to convert these culturally and historically relevant books into audio. While you're only trying hard at complaining.
@@selvalore Don't lecture me about psychological concepts, as I have a PhD whereas you are a struggling UA-camr. I meant my initial comment as constructive criticism. A bit of humility will serve you well, else you'll remain at your pitiful subscriber level, notwithstanding thousands who praise your overtly fake and risible accent.
@@selvalore Besides, it took you two days to parse and research the difference between mismatch vs dissonance (there is none), which evinces your IQ and comprehension level. Stick to rehashing these original works written by dead authors, where your own contribution is inflicting the faux accent on educated and cultured ears.

Check out a website called forgotten books based out of UK. They usually have a selection of rare books in stock.
