Mihir talks about the origins of the town, its distinction of being one of the earliest hill stations in India, the vicinity to the Grand trunk road and the solace it offered to the homesick soldiers of East India Company.
We talk about the origins of the name, its connection to tigers and a thousand gardens.

Mihir also talks about the innumerable nature’s bounty in and around Hazaribagh including

  • Hills (specifically the Canary hill)

  • Rivers and some rock formations
  • Forests and the Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary

  • Karanpura valley and its rock art dating 10,000 BC

We wrap the conversation talking about healing, the real and present threat of coal mining, and the legacy of fear of the Naxals and how this has impacted the area.
