Thanks for listening!
A Human narrator puts this channel head & shoulders above nearly all of the other 'Rogues & Maneaters' type story channels, most of which use those ridiculous robot narrators.
Well done, have a Sub & a thumb up, plus I'm gonna binge watch every story you uploaded. 😁
Audio is wonderful
Mr. Singh...once again you have produced another riveting rendition...btw, I am virtually positive that if I attempted to pronounce the village names in these stories, I'd dislocate my jaw...hahaha...
Thank you...!!!
Hello sir happy to hear your stories as just a request can we get the same in Hindi audio please
Sunday's are made better when I see an upload from this channel.
Hear hear!
Nicely done sir. The sound quality has improved from the earlier recordings. These stories deserve to be told and introduced to the younger generation and audiobooks in your voice and pacing are irresistible.
Thanks for your comment!
I love these stories they're so descriptive they create pictures in my head and your narration couldn't be bettered Thankyou
Thanks for your comment, Claire!
You read the Jim Corbett stories?
You are the best story teller ever. Il thank you for helping me through some of the dark times I’ve had in life. These stories help to shed light on vigilance, listening, courage and fortitude that are needed to make this world a better place.
Much appreciated, John! Cheers and best wishes!
You couldn't but admire the tremendous courage of Kenneth Anderson. Courage truly is the ability to proceed onto certain danger when one is full of fear. A fantastic example of a really brave man. Beautiful narration.
You're right about that, Joe. Thanks again for all your interest in these audio tales.
@@selvalore Thankfully I discovered your channel while looking for information about the Maneaters of Tsavo. Obviously that is not an Indian tale but
I can imagine you would make an amazing job were you to ever cover it. Keep up your amazing work. Thank you from Ireland.
He was indeed a brave man and once on aa maneaters trail his fate was sealed like Jim Colbert he cared deeply about the people the Maneaters prayed on and knew the terror they had to live and die with but he took so many chances sitting on the ground when there was no suitable tree surely a angel was protected him the people of India could sure use men like him and Jim Colbert today but today it seems the Maneaters life's are valued much more than those poor people
These Kenneth Anderson tales are awesome and fascinating!
Apart from the high quality narration , the added sound effects of jungle sounds done by your own voice was like a cherry on an already delightful cake. Thanks a lot for such passionate narration.
Cheers for the comment!
Thanks so much for another well read tales of Mr. Anderson adventures. Excellent job, enjoy every minute of it. Greatly appreciated.
Much appreciated. Always good to hear from you!
Many many many thanks for very nice description of the jungle & beautiful presentation of the story.
Very well done! The sounds of langoors and other animals that you have imitated are spot on and hence I conclude you are a lover of the jungle as well :) I come from Nainital, the land of Jim Corbett and through your readings am getting introduced to the writings of Kenneth. It is a pleasure.
Thanks Harshat. My roots are in Uttarakhand too. Happy to hear you are finding value in these readings.
@@selvalore Do you have suggestion for more books/authors on this genre? I have read Jim Corbett, reading Kenneth now and read Tsovo Lions.
Hugh Allen's lonely tiger is an excellent choice. John Hewett's 'Jungle Trails in Northern India' is a good travel book with wildlife adventures.
Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson would be hard to match though.
Internationally, Peter H Capstick's 'death in the long grass' and 'death in silent places' are amazing reads. People also like Horn of the hunter by Robert Ruark.
Glad I found this channel. These stories have always interested me but hard to track down.
Love these tigers ! Amazing creatures.
Indeed they are. Thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great weekend Marc!
Thank you,you bring these stories to life with your voice and your readings.
Always good to see your cooment. Thanks!
Bravo! These are wonderfully suspenseful. Thank you for reading and posting them.
Very well done...again...thank you...!!!
Been hoping for a new story , thank you for this wonderful video.
Your voice quality and clarity are exceptional. Keep it up! Your making these real life adventures in Indian jungles accessible to listners the world over is highly commendable.
So good to hear that. Thanks for your comment.
Enjoyed that immensely. These stories are pure escapism for a lover of the natural world. Thanks so much!
Touche
Great stories and narration ...thank you
Love your posts ...amazing time that this man lived in and he saved many lives ,,im sorry for the unfortunate victims
Beautiful reading and the simplicity of the set up is the main USP here. It allows me to travel to the setting of the shikar tale, make my own images like I do with books and feel the thrill better 😍.
Keep up the brilliant work. Looking forward to a lot more from this space.
Wonderful! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for your fantastic work !
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for all of these. you do a great job.
Much appreciated. Thanks for listening!
Excellent narration, you put the reader by the hunters side. I am from an island devoid of dangerous animals, yet feel the excitement and thrill you generate with your voice. I do hope that these magnificent animals are given protection and habitat for future generations to enjoy. Bravo. 🇯🇲
Thanks. Lovely to hear from beautiful Jamaica!
Another great audiobook! I really like your articulation and pace of narration too. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for your comment!
great work, keep it going, whole hearted thanks .
Thank you for watching!
Simply a great story told in a more wonderful manner.👍. Thanks bro.🙏
My pleasure and thank you for commenting!
Very well narrated 👍
Thanks again 🎉
It’s amazing that tigers imitate the sounds of other animals! Unreal!
Excellent, as all your stories are..
An excellent gripping story.
Thanks, man. I’ve read all of these but your pronunciations of the native words are extremely helpful. Lovely stuff. Cheers.
Thank you for saying that. Cheers!
Thank you .. waiting for your audio books
Thanks for your comment.
Very nicely done
This is a bitter-sweet tale as during the course of his hunt for the man-eater, Mr Anderson shoots dead a perfectly normal tiger in its prime of life. This would entail a huge outcry today, but this was 1937 so such acts were considered “trophy hunting” in those far off days.
Much credit should go to the author as his own life was at grave risk during his final encounter with the man-eater. Whilst we feel saddened at the death of the “innocent” tiger, it should be remembered that both Kenneth Anderson and Jim Corbett saved many human lives in their brave hunts for those offending tigers that turned their diets to human beings.
Lots of action and suspense! I enjoy the historic and geographical context...forts, rivers, forests, animals. India is truly a beautiful country.
Thank you for a marvellous comment!
Excellent rendition.... Keep up the good work, Bro!
Thanks for your comment.
Excellent reading. Reminds of the days I used to jog and enjoy motorcycle rides very close to this valley. Though I was aware of the presence of leopards and tigers in the area never did I feel any danger nor did I see them.
Thank for your narrations of these stories! You are very articulate and bring the books to life! I Pray you do many more preferably the maneaters but I believe you could bring any diaries or memoirs to life. Thank you again Sahib !!!
Much appreciated! Thanks for the wonderful comment.
Thank you
Kept on listening.
love you narration and the true stories of indias man eating carnivaroues fearful for the poor villagers
THANKS SO MUCH . GREAT JOB SON. PLEASE DO ALL OF THE BOOKS OF KENNETH ANDERSON. SUCH BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN DESCRIP TION AND OBSERVATION OF FOREST DENIZENS EVER TOLD ABOUT INDIAN JUNGLES. PARTICULARLY SOUTH INDIAN FOREST AREAS. OLD MEMORIES KINDLED BY YOUR WORK. AS DUE TO AGE I COULD NOT READ HIS BOOKS WHICH WERE MY ONLY HOBBY IN MY YOUNGER DAYS.I HAVE RECOMMENDED YOUR CHANNEL TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WILD LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU WITH LONG LIFE AND GOOD HEALTH AND WEALTH . THANKS AGAIN.
Such a wonderful, heartfelt message! Thank you, sir!
Very nice audio
Great work,looking forward for more stories,would appreciate if you could include stories from The Last White Hunter.Thanks.
You're very welcome. That is an excellent book by Mr. Joshua Mathews but I cannot read it without his or the publisher's permission.
Good. Anderson should get recognition. The Corbett legend ( which is fully deserved) tends to obscure the merits of people engaged in similar dangerous activities elsewhere
Yes, thanks for listening Mr. Hassan!
you have a great voice . keep up the good work
Thank you for the comment Mr. Joshi.
Sir please cover Temple Tiger!
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Audio quality has improved👍
Again very fascinating, I wonder, was Anderson familiar with Corbett? Their style is similar, thank you for a great narration.
While I don't know of any instance of Anderson ever mentioning Corbett directly, it is almost a certainty he was influenced by Corbett, just as Corbett was influenced by Samuel Baker and J H Patterson. Anderson's first book was published right around the time when Corbett was at the height of his fame so its likely Anderson knew and had read the works of his famous contemporary in the north.
@@selvalore thank you sir, your narration is most excellent
What an imitation of sounds!
Got into these by watching loins of tsavo and found ur channel listwn to it every night
Great to hear that. Thanks for the comment Mr. Stone!
What would be interesting would be interpretation of the maps of the areas involved in their current form showing the sites mentioned in all these stories, plus any photos of the areas in the times in the stories., possibly earlier and later to show changes.
This is probably Toomai country, Sanderson caught elephants & worked there etc. Would be informative for many of those living in the areas probably.
Mr. Mead, thanks for the comment. That's a good suggestion. I may need to think about putting some sort of geographical markers in the videos.
Although I'm very familiar with the story from the Jungle Books, I admit I was not aware of George Sanderson. And your assumption about its proximity to the Toomai country is correct.
I have hunted a lot of animals, but never something that hunted me.😣
Looking forward to the Rogue Elephant of Panapatti.
❤
Was the tiger afraid to ear the deer available?
This tiger killing was so dramatic!
Any idea where Kenneth Andersons 405 Winchester is now?
There's a FB group devoted to KA. People on there might know about this.
Bro
We are waiting
Please do upload videos in every week
Thanks. But that's a lot of work and there aren't enough stories.
👍
Please show the geographic location, a map, a photo of the area to make your narration more interesting.
I have been doing those in some of my later videos. Thanks for the suggestion.
When you compare the deducing and logical reasoning applied by Kenneth Anderson vs Jim Corbett, it is easy to see why Corbett was above the rest. Corbett wouldn't make the mistake of taking out normal tigers while pursuing man-eaters.
Gonna watch 2night..
Thanks!
Sir PLEASE Read for us "INDIA ADVENTURE STORIES" By PATRICK GRIFFITH. Collection of true maneater adventure mystery paranormal stories.Thanks sir.
I want this Kannada version book
I can’t believe these Indian people go out without a rifle knowing there are tigers and sloth bears around!
Love these stories, very scary, they remind me of my ex wife.
Hahaha! Thanks for your interest in these stories.
Although tigers are such majestic animals, and it would be a pity to see them become extinct, I’m glad that most of the tigers now found in India are confined to reserves. Judging from the actions of this man eater, it would appear that tigers were slowly evolving to be man eaters at the turn of the century. Luckily for us, the proliferation of hunters with high powered rifles, and poachers helping to decimate the tiger population, there is little chance ( except perhaps in the Sunder bands), of tigers eating people. As the population of India grows, it is inevitable that the tiger will become extinct maybe within the next hundred years.
Interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As a counteepoint, I would push back on the idea that tigers were evolving to be maneaters at the turn of the 20th century. Tigers are apex predators and an obligate carnivore. They are evolved for eating flesh, whether human or animal. Its well documented that big cats would occasionally predate on humans in the past. Humans might not be their preferred choice of food but if the opportunity arises, a big cat will not hesitate to attack human beibgs for food. This has been going on since the dawn of time.
At the turn of the 20th century, a few intersecting events such as the presence of British hunters with high powered rifles and the early beginnings of human encroachment into tiger's domain, coincided with each other. Tigers were being massacred in the the hundreds for game, while a few of them would occasionally turn to killing humans for various reasons, as has always been the case. The key is that this time period was the zenith for shikar literature, and more and more instances got documented in books.
Tigers kill numerous people in India even today. But most of it is handled by the wildlife experts and park officials, unlike in the past when a certain Jim Corbett or a Kenneth Anderson would have been dispatched to handle it.
You are mistaken there are many maneaters in India today but they are not allowed to be killed in most cases instead they try to catch them alive while they run free and kill more people while the people live in terror cause thy are unarmed thank God and our founding fathers for our 2nd amendment here in America
Tiger numbers have been on the rise in India since the British left. Man-eating today is very common in the Sundarbans area. Even in other areas it occurs occasionally. The main problem tigers face in India today is a lack of wilderness habitat for their expanding population (the reserves are now too small for them). Regardless they will not go extinct. Even the lion population in India has risen past 700, from around 50 at the end of colonial rule.

I never thought this would be interesting,, usually I never listen to audio book
Thanks for listening Sandeep!
If there is months between human kills I wouldn't call it a "man-eater" but an "opportunist"
Fair point! Thank you for the comment.
I read that Kenneth was bitten by a tiger and had to take penicillin for infection but can't find any details on the attack
Yes, indeed you are right. He did get attacked while he was trying to climb a tree. I don't remember which book of his has details of the incident though
@@selvalore I've recently subscribed to your channel. Excellent work on a topic I never quite thought about. If you end up finding out, please link me to your rendition of the book of this instance
@@andreg2727 Hello Andre. The story that Mr. Boswell is referring to is called Marauder of Kempekarai from the book Man Eaters and Jungle Killers written by Kenneth Anderson. I might be wrong but that's my best guess. And I have not done an audio recording of that story yet. Thank you for listening!
@@selvalore it happened when was sitting up over a kill in a tree at night the tiger c0me the tree high enough to lightly claw his behind but deep enough that infection could have been possible because of the rotten meat under a tigers claws
Yes he was clawed by the tiger in Marauder of Kempagarai
stories may also be read in hindi to understand lots of peoples who cannot read.
First
2nd ☝️
snowing?
Haha, you bet! Tropical monsoon forests with snow. Why not?!
So...a semi automatic rifle?
No it was a lever action Winchester
If Tigers cant smell good,, Why do they scent mark ???? I have solo hunted for Grizz and Brown Bear's in Alaska,,,,,,its nice in the daytime,,,BUT when that sun goes behind the mountains and gets dark,, ITS SPOOKY by yourself. I cant imagine what these hunters did,,,,,,Bears are Bears,,,Tiger's are Killers
That's amazing. Alaska is enchanting. And I totally agree with your point about the dark. It takes real courage to just be out there in the wilderness after dark.
How many. Years. Have tigers. Been killing people ????
Bro please use some tiger images or animation, it will improve your vier
So are we just not going to talk about how two of the man eating tigers he shot (that I know of), he cracked open the skull and made them bleed profusely? Other than that I really enjoyed listening to this, keeps me up while I'm working on schoolwork at 1 a.m.
I missed this earlier. Lol yeah he did. Well, thanks for the comment.
