Replete with mystery and intrigue, the excellent story of the "Kharanta (Kharnta) Tiger" has been selected from Hugh Allen's wonderful book, The Lonely Tiger (1959).
Allen's writings are characterized by thrilling and compelling storytelling which are laced with polished prose of such precision and economy that is matched by few in this genre.
After a head wound received on the field of battle during WWII in 1942, leaves him out of active duty military service, Allen is hospitalized in India. Over time, he developed a fondness for the country and bought a huge estate in the Mandikhera village of Pipariya district, Madhya Pradesh in central India, where he lived for more than two decades.
With his sister Babs, he farmed the estate and settled down to a quiet, peaceful, and idyllic life. In between his farm work, he would find time for his nature walks in the forests surrounding his estate, where he would frequently encounter injured, wounded, or rogue animals. With his conscience clear, he would then give full reign to the hunting instinct and go after them to protect his farm and livestock.
