The forest is no more as dense as it was in 1964. Bamboo and other trees have disappeard. The deer path I was treading are no more evident on the eroded soil. The forest is no more enthralling. People have invaded this land where I was absorbing the sounds and sights of the forest. The area had wild elephant, tiger, leopard, hyena, python, sambhar, cheetal, barking deer, wild boar, peafowl, partridges, and many other animals. Today, tiger, sambhar, hyena, python are not seen in this area. We see buffalos and peole living in treeless arid and eroded Shivalik hills.
