“Sundeep is a Marwari Cowboy. He has moved stealthily from Tigers to Leopards. Someday, between the lines, I hope to discover what drives a strict vegetarian to become such a wild admirer of carnivores. He fascinates me, to say the least.”
Victor Banerjee
“The Bera Bond is a magnificently illustrated book that comes with a deeply relevant message for our times. It tells us in a powerful narrative how local communities are, in the face of severe odds, playing a crucial role in the conservation of our rich biodiversity. Sundeep Bhutoria’s passion and commitment resonate through these pages. The book is a delight as well as an education and the Rabaris of Rajasthan deserve wider and unstinted support.”
Jairam Ramesh
“Our wildlife needs many different people to articulate the case and Sundeep Bhutoria have done so quite beautifully in this book.”
Bittu Sahgal, Editor, Sanctuary Asia, India
“I found the book informative, containing excellent photographs of wildlife in the state of Rajasthan and India on the whole. It is a fascinating narrative on leaopards of India so beautifully documented.”
Niluka Kadurugamuwa, Acting High Commissioner of the Republic of Srilanka
“The book has been nicely portrayed and crafted. The photography of the book is amazing. The best part I could see that you briefly but very nicely glorified the cultural heritage of Udaipur and how we succeeded in putting Udaipur on the world map not only the favourite tourist destination but also popular choice for big fat Indian weddings.”
Arvind Singh Mewar, Maharana of Udaipur
“The book is a result of the author’s three day stay in the area and he admits that the information is also from secondary sources. Even as he does not vouch for its authenticity, the photographs in the book and the heartwarming bond of the Rabaris and the ascetics with the leopard is enough for one to appreciate the effort and pick up the book.”
