Kanha, Paradise.... Note of a naturalist

The very first drive into the park on 6th October08. The car reached the great Kanha meadow and I was wondering here and there and suddenly the chittal gone mad and the lord of the jungle came out on the road 100mtr away. A male tiger on the road literally displaying, masking by spraying, scratching and scatting, after that the mating call of a male tiger the ambience changed and then he disappeared in the jungle.
As a naturalist my professional world at Kanha started in a majestic way. Happy times at Kipling Camp, birds, butterfly and the spotted deer, sloth bear, leopard and tiger also I observed from the camp. But then 2nd November,’08, the tiger I saw from the camp died in a electricution trap at a nearby village. The first blow and then news on death of deer, Sambar, wild boar started coming. I was studying this tiger because he was a brother of another male tiger and both this tiger became cattle lifter. Then 3rd of January we lost 3 cubs of one female. Then I was studying the brother of dead tiger and from October to December I found that he kills more during the full moon and I started feeling that this one is a lunatic one. The thing was going on really nice time started.
January’09 1st January the new year started with a brilliant sighting a male tiger on the Kanha main road walked down almost 2 km. All of us were happy. None of us expected a fortune like this. 16th January’09 he died he was my favourite tiger who I called as ‘Kan Kata’ died a very fishy death. After two day mean 18th January 2 cubs of another female died I was shocked but more shocked was their in store for me my cattle lifter died on 20th January. I was spechless on that day. 26th January another collared male died. Believe me in all the case forest department said they died in infighting. Why they are fighting so much? No answer at that time.
Then in February two thing started one is the shift of a female tiger from Kanha to Panna and forest fire. 30% of Kanha’s tourism zone were burnt by fire and there is no absolute data about the animal loss. Then on 20th January’09 another male tiger died and forest dpt. said “death due to infighting and the male female ratio decreased so the male tigers of Kanha fighting that much.” and the funniest thing is that they decided to shift one of the most important breeding female to Panna. So they actually wanted the male tiger to fight more and die. But some how the protest of the locals compelled them to sent another female who was much more dispersive in nature. And then again a bad news the oldest female of Kanha lost one of her cub according to the peoples it died in the forest fire. Now when I was observing all this thing sitting at Kanha more bad news are coming from all the other protected Areas.
I just want to ask one question researchers are carrying out research and coming up with no conclusion we are trying to prove us as the supreme power but we forget one truth nature created us so its not possible for us to act as the mentor of nature and the people who believes that coexistence possible they forget the theory that says no two super predator can coexists and I believe we are worse than any of them as a super predator. So we need to leave the place for the tigers and lions and other super predators and also have to leave the ambition to become the mentor of nature.

Social Mutation will it survive...

I never thought that I will start blogging with that topic.. Election 2009 over, results declared and In west Bengal really a mutation took place. When People get their chance to vote properly it reflects the progressive mindset of the people. Its a long time after such thing took place in Bengal. I was not born in 1977 when the thing took place. A total outburst of the people thought through vote. This time it happened and again Bengal witnessed one thing though we lost most of our glories our intellects but still now we cry for others we try to share the feelings and also try to take part in others problem.. Singur, Rizwanur, Nandigram again reunited us and may be the problem in northern part of the state, Purulia Lalgarh, Keshpur slowly tightened the bonding. after 32 years the bengali intellect spoke out people were categorised in AMRA and ORA.. And in this 'ORA' section of people some of them never ever in their dream thought about something what happened yesterday.. Left Front lost all the major seats where there was some kind of ethical battle was going on.. Believe me many of us are not happy that the opposition won but we are really happy that Left front lost. Its a win against the arrogance, hypocrisy, lie and people just thrown out the dictators in making.. I think that might help the Left to think about the situation standing on the ground. That amra and ora subdivision helped so many things to understand.. That clearly stated that if you ever dare to criticize you have to be in the opposition if you want to share your feelings with the people who lost everything you are wrong if you raise question against Hoogly Industrial belt you are a duffer if you raise question about Kalyani Industrial Belt you are a bullshit you know nothing!!! But they forgot that ' Banglar Mati Durjay Ghati Bhuje Nik/ Jene Nik Durbritto ' . Social changeover bought so many cultural change that we think in a different way.. very few of the young generation in and around Kolkata knew those slogans ' hei samalo Dhan re kaste te dao shan re' And the follower of that slogan started taking land by robbery.. But we might don't know this lines still we can share our feelings we can feel the pain of the people of Singur, the sound of the people screaming at Nandigram.. Though today comrades are so arrogant that one student leader need not to pass his curriculum but can deliver lecture on what to do what not to do. Its a kind of jeopardy started ruling the students.. I have to obey or listen to a person who is a total failure with respect to his own capability. Just pay a visit to the student Union room in any college u will be shocked by he label of discussion goes on there.. Most of them are much more interested in side business but that's not their fault.. The seniors who lead them some of them are now became DALAL (Broker) and earns money by ditching people. When u will observe this person in the Party office ' Mukhena Maritang Jagat' in our language hyan karbe tyan karbe marka habbhab (can do anything and everyting the obvious product is one of the biggest flop).. all this result in the changeover (Paribartan).. The base of one of the most literate party now is on the ground.. BY means 60% of the cadres are illiterate not only from the education point of view but mentally also. Slowly money showed its power on the party which was once very proud about their existence without the help of money.. They came up with the blessings of people and once they reached the height they started ignoring their own history and history did repeat itself......Now its the time to wait and watch whether that social mutation will become a part of social evolution or it will loose the battle.. Believe me that totally depends on the party how much self purification will take place.. In Bengali Abamulyayaner gatitake atke atmasudhdhi katota karte parbe abang aparpakkha kato taratari bichyutir pathe egube tar oparei nirbhar karbe manush je paribrtaner dake sara diyeche seta nijer paribartaner pathe ferat ase kina..
