Book Overview
The royal Bengal tiger is on the verge of extinction. There have been other moments in the past when the tiger in India has been threatened. This book traces the history of such crises and conservation efforts to battle them from the nineteenth century right up to the present crisis. The tiger as a trophy has always been valued and its very abundance in the past has spelt terrible excesses against it. But the tiger has always had its champions and the continuities in the conservation efforts are intriguing. Thapar points out that the arguments used by British conservationists to interest politicians in its preservation mostly underlined its economic wisdom and Thapar has often used the same tactics himself At two other moments in time in India's history as an independent nation, the tiger's existence has been threatened.
