Re: "The Jim Corbett Album" - discussion thread
16/07/14 04:39 PM

Was just thinking of Jim Corbett the other day after the horrendous news of a 10 year old girl raped in India because her father had assaulted a man who had tried to take advantage of his wife. The village head ordered the child raped by the assaulted man as retribution for her fathers actions.

Jim relates in his story of the Muktesar man-eater how he came across a little girl of about 8 years old having problems driving a bullock along a remote track on which Jim was searching for sign of the man-eating tiger who had killed in the area recently. Jim helped get the bullock on track and walked with the girl to deliver the beast back to her uncle's home. Jim then made it his business to accompany the child safely back to her village while keeping an eye out for the errant tiger.
From the shy girl, whose name he translated as "Dolly", he gleaned valuable information on the latest kill site and the fact that one of her father's two bullocks was killed by the tiger a day earlier, hence the need to borrow one. The little girl knew it was man-eater territory but her father had malaria, her mother was cooking, she had no brothers and sisters, so the bullock delivery task had befallen her.

A stark contrast in human behaviour from animalistic sub-human to a kind and gentle man who loved the people of the nation he lived in.
