Re: india kingdom of the tiger, jim corbett
Thanks for posting that. It was very well done.
There are some misconceptions, as I see it, in the movie.
India has to try to save the Tiger without outside help. The reason for that is if we, and I include the Indian Government (present and future) in that collective "we", don't decide that the Tiger is worth saving, then all the foreign help won't matter. We can pour all kinds of money into the project but if the boots on the ground (the Forest Service) and the Government backing them don't care enough, it won't matter. We have started so many programs over the years and after a few years, have basically dropped them to the detriment of the Tiger.
If we cannot provide a concerted effort and sustain that effort, I'm afraid we are doomed to see the Tiger vanish forever. We have to decide whether this priceless and irreplaceable animal is worth saving. If so, then we can't ever back out of whatever "save the Tiger" project we decide on. Hope, apathy and denial won't save the Tiger.

Thanks for posting kasimpatel. Lovely photography.
The actor had a striking resemblance to Corbett. Tall , thin with a thick mustache.
What I found funny was Corbett taking a village girl along with him for a maneater hunt.........The famous hunter goes on to ask the girl "Kahan hai?" and SHE points out the tiger to him.
