Book Description
Soul of the Nilgiris is a photographic anthology that captures the authentic soul of the beautiful 'Blue Mountain' range deep in the western ghats of Southern India called the Nilgiris. Researched, photographed by and written by Ramya Reddy over the past seven years, it is a collaboration between like-minded individuals whose ties with the Nilgiris are nothing short of sacred.Told artfully, through photographs, art and creative prose which is a combination of ancient wisdom and personal narratives interwoven with folklore and real stories, the book explores the region's true and treasured cultural, spiritual, artistic and ecological traditions, with an active involvement from the experts in the area and importantly, the indigenous community- which has been a vital component of the project.

Book Description
A profound truth of the wild, and the world at large, is that we are a part of it, not owners of it. Is there any animal we love and hate as much as the Royal Bengal Tiger? Tigers are feared and poached, but they also endure, becoming pin-ups for candlelight marches. Indian elephants are trapped by railway lines and fences, but are reclaiming their bodies and colonizing new areas in central India. And in our dirty cities, the sparkling Plain Tiger Butterfly flourishes as one of our last links to wildlife. Wild animals exist beyond our control. They are harmless, only occasionally dangerous. They live with us, or in spite of us. Those who know them understand that wild animals require acceptance for what they are, not enslavement for what we want them to be. In this book, we meet fifteen iconic Indian species in need of conservation and heart. The author explores what these creatures need, and how they exert agency and decision-making. With an equal emphasis on human and animal, science and skilled prose, Wild and Wilful reveals the magic of the wild in our daily lives. It will take you from fear to wonder.
