An excellent translation of the evergreen “MY INDIA” by conservationist and naturalist Jim Corbett.

In My India, Jim Corbett gives us a glimpse into a life spent amongst village folk in the summer seat of British Imperial India, then known as the United Provinces (now Uttarakhand). Unlike his classic works about jungle and wildlife lore – where he recounts famous hunts in the midst of India’s diverse and rich wildlife habitats— here Corbett sheds light on the India that he adored passionately for its ‘simple and hardworking souls’ who enriched his life.

India was then on the cusp of crucial international and national movements. This book is a tribute to the charming characters who would otherwise not have appeared in the pages of history had Corbett not written about them here and made them unforgettable and immortal. Join Corbett as he takes you through the remote trails of villages in the foothills of the Himalaya, introducing you to endearing stories of resilience, loyalty, and fortitude.
