A Book Recommendation
11/02/06 08:26 AM

I recently read a book entitled "Hunting Dangerous Game with the Maharajas - in the Indian Sub-Continent" by Shuja Ul Islam & Zohra Islam. Early on, I was somewhat disappointed in discovering that the years encompassed by the book began in the 1930's, running on up until the recent past. However, I learned much about the experiences of people that were not very much older than myself and found it fascinating, more so, than many earlier accounts, so bereft of detail other than game talleys. This man was the son of a gifted tiger hunter, who in turn, was the lifelong friend of the Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagram (Crown Prince). Shuja's father, Badrul Ul Islam, shot more than 50 tigers during his lifetime, with his friend 'Vizzy' taking over 300. How Shuja learned to hunt the tiger under the tutelege of these men and went on to be an accomplished hunter himself, made for great reading and I am sure that many here will enjoy it, at least as much as I.
