Meet the 'Tiger Men' of Pench and Tadoba
Gajendra Singh Rathore, MD, Jungle Camps India The forest has a rhythm. But you have to be still. You have to be willing to listen. At the entrance to Pench, the massive gate opens into the Pench Jungle Camp - the very landscape that once inspired Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. But the fiction ends there. At Pench, the stories are real. They walk on four legs. They glide through the trees. And as the Jungle Camp India resort's staff at Pench and Tadoba - from founder to naturalist to chef might tell you, these stories linger long after tourists leave. They speak of the bravery of the unseen, the unheard, the undervalued - those who protect the wild not with fanfare, but with fierce commitment. Lives Rewritten by the Wild The passion for the wild runs deep among the founder and staff. There's Gajendra Singh Rathore, who took an improbable journey from chartered accountancy to conservation. Over two decades, he has built infrastructure, introduced safaris, and mentored a new generation of naturalists across central India. He speaks with quiet reverence about his mission: turning tourists into conservationists. 'Every day, our staff educates guests not just about tigers, but about the rangers who defend nature, about how you can contribute to sustainable coexistence, and about the urgency of habitat loss,' he says. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo 'This is not just hospitality - it's a movement.' Gajendra Singh Rathore, MD, JCI Jungle Camp India's model isn't just about creature comforts or curated experiences. It's rooted in community. From hiring locals to teaching tourists about scientific research, the camps strive to embed sustainability into every aspect of their operations. Gajendra Singh Rathore says,"Every day through our resort, our safaris, and our passion for eco-tourism, we try to make guests understand that we all share the responsibility of protecting the natural efforts are rooted in respect, listening, and patience like the forest itself." Eco-tourism as conservation Jungle Camps India is a constellation of luxurious eco-lodges scattered across Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, two tiger-rich states in central India. From the raw, rugged forests of Tadoba in Maharashtra to the calmer canopies of Pench on the Madhya Pradesh border, these stays do more than just accommodate - they interpret, educate, and protect. Yash Rajput, who now oversees operations at Tadoba, left a career at McKinsey & Company to work in the forest. 'Finance couldn't compete with the call of the wild,' he says. 'Nobody goes disappointed from Tadoba. The tiger sightings here have made it a magnet for true wildlife enthusiasts.' Naturalists here are more than guides, says Raghuveer Singh, GM at Pench branch of JCI. 'We are the glue,' Nayan, who calls himself 'Tiger Man' says. 'Between tourists and the wild.' Indeed, increasing tourist footfall has paradoxically helped tiger conservation by deterring poaching through visibility and awareness. Samrat, a seasoned naturalist, puts it plainly, 'It was never the tourists who undermined the tiger protection campaign. When tigers vanished in certain areas, it was tourists and local nature lovers who blew the whistle. Suagto, a naturalist at Pench, is a trained tracker who has participated in multiple wildlife censuses. But he's just as likely to halt a safari for the humble beauty of a butterfly. 'The forest speaks in many languages,' he says. 'It's not just the big cats. It's everything. You have to be willing to listen.'

Kadapa MP labels TDP's Mahanadu as 'Bhajan' programme held to heap praises on Andhra Pradesh CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu and his son
TIRUPATI: Kadapa MP YS Avinash Reddy labelled the TDP's Mahanadu as a Bhajan programme, as the ruling party's two-day conclave was confined to heaping praises and glorifying TDP National President Nara Chandrababu Naidu and his son Nara Lokesh. The TDP Mahanadu, attended by approximately 25,000 odd party workers, turned out to be a damp squib as the event failed to focus its attention on the delivery of the 'Super Six' and other election promises extended to the people of the state by the TDP. 'Instead of telling the people about how they were going to fulfil the promises, leaders got completely carried away while heaping praises on Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh,' Avinash Reddy lamented at a press conference held in Kadapa. The Kadapa MP further observed that 'while the TDP leaders boasted about holding their maiden Mahanadu at former CM and YSRCP Chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy's homeland, they completely ignored discussion on the development of the backward Rayalaseema region of the state.' He also blamed the TDP leaders for deliberately hurting the sentiments of the people of Kadapa district by tying their party flags on and around YSR statues all over Kadapa district. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo "The focus of Mahanadu is more on self-praise and criticism of the opposition. The incumbent govt that does not care to fulfil its election promises has no right to target the erstwhile regime that actually reached out to the public," he cautioned. The MP warned that the public would not take such demeaning gestures lightly and would reciprocate at the right moment and in an appropriate manner.

Stateless in Serbia: Russians and Belarusians left in limbo
Representative AI image NOVI SAD: More than 20 Russians and Belarusians living in Serbia have become "stateless" after not being granted the Serbian nationality they had applied for. Most have lived in Serbia for more than a decade - buying property, starting businesses and raising children born in the country - where they are now basically trapped, unable to leave. Up to two years after renouncing their original nationality, which is required under Serbian rules, none has received a clear explanation from authorities for the delay. "It has now been almost a year and a half that I've been without any citizenship," former Russian citizen Igor Grishin told AFP. "And I don't know how long it will last," he added. "A month, a year... or the rest of my life." The 58-year-old health podcaster has lived for 11 years in the northern town of Sremski Karlovci with his wife and two daughters. His wife and older daughter obtained Serbian citizenship earlier, while the younger acquired it by birth. "I cannot travel with my family," Grishin said. "I couldn't go to my mother's funeral in the Russian Federation and I cannot even visit her grave," he added. Grishin is in contact with more than 20 others in the same situation though these are only the known cases. Those spoken to claim they have never expressed any political views, either about Russia or Serbia, which in the past has cost some Russians in Serbia their residency there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo All said they had passed all security checks and renounced their original nationality as the final step. "Serbia gave us confirmation -- a guarantee -- that it would accept us if we renounced our citizenship," Sergei Stets, a former Belarusian citizen who lives in Novi Sad, told AFP. "I've now been without any citizenship for a year and a half," said the 46-year-old former mountain bike coach from Minsk. "I feel as if we're not wanted neither there, nor here," he said. Once the selector of Serbia's national team, he had to give it up because he is unable to leave the country, and now gets by delivering meals on his bike. His wife, a horse-riding and equine therapy instructor, faces the same issue, having previously worked across the region. "I wrote to the police several times. The answer was always the same -- the documentation is under review, and I need to wait," he said. The Ombudsman's Office confirmed that they "are aware of the issue", adding that "the review of complaints is ongoing". Every country has the right to conduct additional checks, said experts on migration and asylum. "Although they completed all procedures and renounced their previous citizenship, the process can still take time," Rados Djurovic, a lawyer and director of the Asylum Protection Center NGO, told AFP. However, "there is no justification for keeping people in an unregulated status long-term," he added. Djurovic said outside factors linked to "state policy and international relations" may also be to blame for the delays. Proposed amendments to the Citizenship Law in October 2023 aimed at simplifying the process for foreigners were withdrawn after objections from the European Commission. "The more liberal reforms drew criticism from Europe, with concerns that easing citizenship rules could pose risks to Western countries," with Serbian citizens allowed to travel freely in the EU without a visa. Despite being a candidate for EU membership, Serbia maintains close ties with Russia and has not joined Western sanctions -- including visa restrictions -- imposed on Moscow. As a result, demand for Serbian passports has surged, with between 80,000 and 110,000 Russians settling in the country in recent years, according to the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP). While some applicants remain in limbo, others notably influential Russians, have reportedly obtained citizenship through special procedures. Last month the respected outlet KRIK revealed that 204 Russian nationals were granted Serbian passports for "national interest" reasons. The list includes individuals linked to Russia's FSB security service, war profiteers from Ukraine and oligarchs under international sanctions. Serbian authorities have not commented on the report.
