The Other Corbett

Edward James Corbett the British author was known for his hunting skills and for killing a number of man-eating tigers and leopards across the Indian forests. Behind the stories of all those thrilling hunting adventures sometimes we miss noticing the great man that Cornett had been. Arunabha Dasgupta writes about Jim Corbett the great humanitarian, nature lover, writer and someone who always loved India as his own country.

"Rudraprayag's chief claim to fame is that it gave its name to the dreaded man-eating leopard who, in the course of 7 years (1918-25), accounted for more than three hundred victims. It was finally shot by Jim Corbett, who recounted the saga of his long haunt in the "The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag". Apart from being a superb storyteller, Corbet displayed great compassion for people from all walks of life, and is still a legend in Garhwal and Kumaon amongst people who have never read his books." -thus Ruskin Bond pays his tribute to the great humanitarian- nature lover, Jim Corbet.
