This book presents a pictorial history of the cheetah in India from the pre-historic period to the present. It provides a comprehensive account of the animal`s interaction with man through the ages, reconstructing its life in captivity and its use by Indian royalty as an aid to hunting. Divyabhanusinh examines the Indian cheetah`s decline in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, charting its path to extinction and analysing the causes of its disappearance, using evidence of declining numbers in Iran, and its existence in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In a new preface to this edition, he laments the lack of progress on the part of the government in successfully reintroducing the cheetah from Iran, citing examples of dwindling forest reserves, and declining numbers of tigers and lions in the wild in India. This superb book with its many illustrations, is an indispensable reference work that aims to renew interest in the cheetah`s reintroduction in India.
