{"product_id":"sport-and-work-on-the-nepaul-frontier","title":"Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier","description":"Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier by James Inglis is a compelling narrative that combines colonial-era memoir, hunting adventures, and firsthand ethnographic observation on the Indo-Nepalese borderlands during the British Raj. As an officer of the Indian Civil Service, Inglis documents his time posted in the northeastern frontier regions of India near Nepal, offering readers a rare window into the socio-political climate, rural life, and environmental challenges of the time. The book recounts, in vivid detail, both the sporting life—big game hunting of tigers, elephants, wild boars, and deer—and the work—administrative duties, justice delivery, managing local conflicts, and infrastructural responsibilities. Through 26 immersive chapters, Inglis reflects on his daily routines, thrilling encounters with wild animals, jungle life, and his interactions with indigenous communities, offering valuable insights into colonial governance and native cultures. A fascinating fusion of adventure, natural history, and bureaucratic experience, the book also serves as a chronicle of vanishing landscapes and ways of life, written with the clarity and enthusiasm of a keen outdoorsman. With its blend of rugged travelogue and political memoir, Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier is both a gripping read and a valuable historical document for scholars and general readers interested in colonial India, hunting literature, or Himalayan history.","brand":"DD Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54569008955671,"sku":"9789377075361","price":519.75,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/3535250.webp?v=1785410363","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/te\/products\/sport-and-work-on-the-nepaul-frontier","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
