What if the trees around us were quietly telling the story of India itself?

The Trees of My Country by T. R. Shankar Raman traces an extraordinary journey across India through fifty remarkable native trees that shape its landscapes, ecosystems, histories, and ways of life.

From the rainforests of the Western Ghats to the cold deserts of Ladakh, each tree stands as a living witness to the land it inhabits.

A moving celebration of India’s trees, and a reminder that our future is deeply connected with theirs.

Coming soon!

Such wonderful news; dholes have returned to Kaziranga, with a pack recently documented in the landscape.

The way conservation efforts are helping such species bounce back is truly commendable. I hope the landscapes of Northeast India and the Dooars of West Bengal emerge as leading examples of sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation.

India’s forests are, among other things, forests of memories. Memories of lives and times gone by. In this HT piece, I explore how the memory of elephants working alongside their human companions lingers on in the forests they once lived, played, worked, and died in.

A limp at birth could have meant certain death in the wild.
But one tigress refused to let it define her story.

In the forests of Pench Tiger Reserve, a tigress lovingly called Langdi spent her life walking with a visible limp. Born with a deformity in one of her forepaws, she earned the nickname “Langdi”, meaning “the one who limps”. In the wild, where strength often decides survival, such a challenge can be fatal.

But Langdi proved otherwise.

Born around 2008 and officially identified as PN 20 (T 20), she was also the sibling of the legendary tigress Collarwali, one of India’s most celebrated big cats.

While Collarwali became famous for raising multiple litters, Langdi quietly built her own legacy in the forests of Pench.

Against the odds, she lived nearly 18 years, far longer than most wild tigers. Over her lifetime, Langdi gave birth to 10 cubs, many of whom have gone on to establish territories in and around the Pench landscape, strengthening the region’s tiger population.

In recent months, age had slowed her down. Hunting became difficult, and she often survived on prey left behind by other predators. She was last seen on 6 March, before forest officials discovered her body in the Karmajhiri range.

Forest staff later performed her last rites inside the reserve with full wildlife protocol, paying tribute to a tigress who had become a part of Pench’s story.

Rest well, Langdi.🐅
