ARTICLES / DISCUSSIONS |

K Ullas Karanth, internationally renowned tiger biologist and one of India's most distinguished wildlife ecologists, talks to Swapan Banerjee on tiger conservation in India and his books. He says, “Although I’m a scientist, I don’t stop at science. I try to use my science to change my reality on ground by influencing policy or influencing how other people behave towards wild life. So I try to do very applied science.”
The section also features Mamta Nainy’s look at 20 years of “Katha,” which pioneered translations of regional literatures in India, specially stories. Yogesh Kumar’s article discusses R K Narayan’s novel Mr Sampath.
