Tiger Season
“Tiger Season” by Gargi Rawat follows journalist Sunaina Joshi as she leads a high-profile tiger conservation campaign featuring a Bollywood star seeking redemption. But as unexpected events unfold, she finds herself caught in a web of controversies that challenge her ethics and beliefs.
Sunaina Joshi is a reporter with a leading news channel. Her day-to-day work involves reporting on urban-centric, health-related issues; myriad subjects that bore her, leaving her jaded. Her real passion is a life in the great outdoors, and reporting on wildlife and the environment, something she is unable to do as often as she would like.
Unexpectedly, a fabulous opportunity falls into her lap when her channel is commissioned to run a campaign on tiger conservation, featuring a Bollywood star who is trying to resurrect his image and career following a drug scandal. The shoot takes a dramatic turn when the television team finds itself in the middle of a local conflict and a heated incident involving a tiger attacking a forest guard.
Controversy follows, with the decision to relocate the tiger to a zoo, leading to protests and fresh outrage over the action. To Sunaina’s dismay, she finds herself becoming the epicentre of the converging controversies. Also complicating matters are the run-ins she has with the arrogant owner of the resort.
