Dehradun, July 26 -- Historian Gopal Bhardwaj recalls that Jim Corbett had raised a tigress in Mussoorie, which he was deeply attached to. Not only this, even Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru played with that tigress! This shows the human side of the hunter who not only fought with leopards and tigers but also understood and loved them.

On the 150th birth anniversary of Jim Corbett, the citizens of Mussoorie and history lovers offered flowers before his picture at St Paul's Church and other places. Historian Bhardwaj shared rare pictures, photographs and stories of his pet dog, Robin. He said that Jim's life is a courageous but sad story of the struggle between humans and man-eaters.
