DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Summer Ramble in the Himalayas: With Sporting Adventures in the Vale of Cashmere As this volume is published without the Author's name, and as the Editor appears only under his nom de plume of "Mountaineer," the reader may fairly expect some little information regarding it. The original manuscript consisted of the Author's rough notes, and these were made over by him to the Editor, by whom they were thrown into a connected narrative form. In Chapter III. the Author speaks of falling in with "Wilson's Camp," and in Chapter VII. he refers to "a series of articles in the Indian Sporting Review, entitled "Game of the Himalayas," by Mountaineer. Mountaineer is a name familiar to all Indian sportsmen of the last twenty years, as identical with that of Mr. Wilson, of Mussoorie, our present Author's well-valued companion during much of his ramble.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe figure of the white hunter sahib proudly standing over the carcass of a tiger with a gun in hand is one of the most powerful and enduring images of the empire. This book examines the colonial politics that allowed British imperialists to indulge in such grand posturing as the rulers and protectors of indigenous populations. This work studies the history of hunting and conservation in colonial India during the high imperial decades of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At this time, not only did hunting serve as a metaphor for colonial rule signifying the virile sportsmanship of the British hunter, but it also enabled vital everyday governance through the embodiment of the figure of the officer–hunter–administrator. Using archival material and published sources, the author examines hunting and wildlife conservation from various social and ethnic perspectives, and also in different geographical contexts, extending our understanding of the link between shikar and governance.
