I remember reading this article by rashmi some time ago (probably when it was published). Rashmi has the gift of penmanship but is an armchair wildlife reporter. "panther" was an older ameateur term for leopard and muggar isnt alligator but a crocodile. "ghariyal2 is supposed to be a gator by some but that too is not. Whats true is the wanton slaughter of animals that did occour at the hands of both gora and brown sahibs. What i also want to point out that lots of indian maharajsas have bags of hundreds but what is not pointed out is that these bags were over 50 seasons. (most started shooting big game before the age of 10 and carried on till their death). but the gora sahibs achieved their centuries within one posting. For eg. Lord reading shot 7 tigers in one hunt. |
