Major Khan
AH legend
Dear hunters and shikarees ,
My name is Major P. Khan ( Retired ) . I am a friend of forum member and retired professional Indian shikaree , Sargeant Kawshik Rahman . I used to be a professional shikaree in Nagpur , India . I used to work for the company , Allwyn Cooper Limited which was the largest shikar outfitter in India for foreign clients , from 1954 to 1971 until the disgusting 1972 ban on hunting .
I worked there from 1961 to 1970 . My specialty was guiding clients for royal Bengal tiger shikars . However , l used to hunt other animals ( including other dangerous animals ) as well , on my personal time . I am now 79 years of age and l live in Bangladesh since 1972 . I still hunt deers , hares and birds ( both water fowls and land fowls ) , although my days of hunting dangerous game are much behind me ( although , if l was younger , l would have really liked to go to Africa to shoot a lion someday ) .
I will be writing some reminiscences of my shikar experiences here , along with my personal photographs as l have been told that you gentlemen have interest about the world of hunting in India before 1972 .
I merely have one question . What story should l proceed with first ? A royal Bengal tiger shikar ? A man eater shikar ? Or a gaur Shikar , perhaps ? Or some other beast ? Or a general overview about hunting a certain animal ? I will write one tonight then.
Yours sincerely,
Major P. Khan ( Retired )
