India was a colony of the British for nearly 200 years. This period is popularly referred to as the Raj and has a permanent place in Indian History. It was period of development and enlightenment as the English rulers set about the task to move the Indian people forward.Of course they had an ulterior motive in this development as a sinew to strengthen their rule. But after the English left the good work done by them remained.
The period of the Raj was also the period of the big game hunters like Jim Corbett. Corbett was born in Haldwani in India in 1875. He grew up under the aegis of the Raj. But it must be said about him that from his young age the wild life and in particular the big cats fascinated him.
Corbett took to hunting man eating tigers which were rampant in India at that time as the tiger population was at its peak. He is credited with killing 33 big cats including 19 tigers. He risked his life umpteen times to save the simple Indian villagers from the marauding man eating tigers. Only once Jim shot the wrong beast and he felt tremendous remorse after that killing.
Jim Corbett killed his first tiger the notorious beast of Champarnet, which had killed 436 human beings in the early part of his life. He followed up by shooting another 18 later. He was active as a hunter till 1937.But after that he had a change of heart and turned to saving the tiger. A work for which he will also be remembered. He did monumental work and lectured all over India and abroad to save the big cats. His efforts soon bore fruit in the shape of the Corbett national park on the foothills to Nainital. The Park was renamed after him in 1957.
Corbett retired to Kenya and settled at Nyeri where he died in 1955.The period of retirement saw him write a number of books based on his vast tiger hunting experiences. These books are immensely popular the most famous being 'The man eating leopard of Rudraprayag' and 'Man eaters of kumaon'. Jim in all wrote six books.
Jim Corbett was the archetypal British Indian. He was born in India and lived his entire life in India as well. He only visited England once. But he did a lot for Indians from saving the villagers from the scourge of man eaters to their conservation in his later years. Jim was greatly concerned with the dwindling number of tigers and wished to educate the people on conservation of tigers.
Though he died in 1955 Corbett will be remembered for all time to come as the 'burra sahib' who saved the villagers and later helped conserve the tiger.
