What did you think when you first read the title?
Here's what my friend thought. “What happened to you? Reading about cannibals! Did you get it for free or something? Watching too much TV?” - My friend’s comments when he saw me read a new book – “Man eaters and jungle killers” by Kenneth Anderson.
It’s not his fault. It’s the time we are living in. ‘Man eaters’ no longer refers to a tiger, a panther, a bear or a rogue elephant of the jungle as vividly described in Mr. Anderson’s book. Unfortunately, it means Nithari. It means Hannibal Lecter.

Yeah. Sadly, it was Nithari on my mind too.
I thought of Nithari too....how very sad. I dont have much to comment on other than...I recalled a story where this writer (hindi text book) talks about what the birds would talk about the beast called man! Indeed if we were to compare a man eating tiger to the men...who is the bigger beast????
I have been following the Nithari case myself. It's repugnant to say the least.
I never got around to reading Kenneth Anderson...for a long time I was unaware of the "Corbett of South India" and when I did learn about him it was already too late. Most of his books had been published by Rupa, and I couldn't bring myself to invest in a Rupa book any longer. I will probably look for different editions of the same here.
i thot same ..........so howz the book ?>

It's not your fault. It's the time we live in.
@Kanu
Absolutely! Who is the bigger beast?
@Woodie
He writes well... but it's not for everyone. There are other publishers of Mr. Anderson's books.
@Deepak
