The book synthesizes material and textual evidence to chronicle the passage of three mega mammals-the rhinoceros, tiger, and elephant across millennia in early north India. The approach goes beyond treating them as mere cultural icons to one that is also sensitive to their importance as markers of ecology. It underlines the need to historicize human interactions with these mega mammals keeping in mind that an animal's past is critical in thinking about its future.
