Tribute by Valmik Thapar and Golden Light, publisher David Davider

He could be engraved from Ranthambore’s granite rock, where he had a lot of fun. Valmik Thapar with a mountainous, full -fledged, thunderous voice may seem scary, but in reality he was benign and humble. I enjoyed working with him on many of his books, and none of my colleagues ever said a bad word about him. However, he was the happiest in the forest and did not care much about the social scope of his hometown of Delhi. He was not a little thing to talk, but used his voice, to serve the cute tigers, with all other abilities and resources, to whom he had been obsessed for 50 years. Valmik Thapar, conservationist of wildlife and tiger, died at the age of 73, the son of Valmik iconic public intellectual Raj and Romesh Thapar, who began the influential magazine, Seminar. Thapar was a friend of many important politicians and industrialists, but did not hesitate to justify them when they made a mistake. Valmik inherited the fearlessness of his parents and when rich and mighty people got in the way of their determination to save wild tigers from extinction, they often clashed with them. Ranthambore’s repentance more than 40 books (including his last book, The Mysterious World of Tigers – with his own caution, he completed the proof in his hospital bed a few days before the death of cancer on May 31, 2025) and in the disadvantages he described in detail how they were attracted to the world of Tigers.
