Lessons from Corbett

Ananda Aug 20, 2008

I grew up on stories of Jim Corbet - read out or told to me by elders. My interest in nature grew from there. It was this inspiration that has taken me to the Jungles for the last 40 / 45 years. In the Terai and Bhabar one has met village elders who claim to remember 'Carpit Sahib'.

Over time one realised that if there was an author who had to be read to learn descriptive English - it was Corbett.

For those who have only read his stories about the jungle - I strongly recommend that they read ' My India' . India. In spite of its technological and economic leaps, India is made up largely of people that JIm Corbett has written about.
