Tiger Warrior: Fateh Singh Rathore of Ranthambhore
The book views the contribution of Fateh Singh Rathore towards making the Ranthambhore National Park a safe haven for tigers. It focuses on his efforts that involved a tireless struggle to stop poaching in the park which saw him survive a bid on his life and fight off resistance from powerful bureaucrats. This insightful biography based on the author Soonoo Taraporewala’s long association with him presents his childhood, family, education, early days in Ranthambore and Mount Abu, and his preoccupation with reforesting Ranthambore and Project Tiger. It showcases his loyalty towards his friends and his indomitable personality. It also throws up some vital questions regarding wildlife conservation in India.
