Man-Eating Panther of Belkhera by A.I.R. Glasfurd | Adventure Audiobook | Audiostory 

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

Oh, you don’t like trash and open diarrhea cesspits? Should have done more research..

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.

Thanks for the comment. You make a good point. Jim Corbett stands alone as an acknowledged master of this genre.

Exactly !

Always love seeing your name in the comments, Shwetank. Thank you!

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

@@selvalore yeah .. that's what I mean to say Please bring all the stories of Sir CORBETT. The way you read is just superb...

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.

You come to video with an English title and complain the narration is not in Hindi?

That's too much work Danish. I've already recorded the next one. Should be out soon.

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.
