Visit To India For Alumni
Soon after the appearance of an article written by them-in Na
tional GeographiC Magazine, John and Frank Craighead, twin alumni
of the College, received a letter &mil K. S. Dharakumarsinkja, Bapa
for short),' brother of Maharaja Sir Krishnakurmarsinkja, ruler of
Bhavnagar, inviting them
,to visit India. Their article, "Adventure
with Birds of -Prey," d6alt with their experiments in the training of
hawks and falcons.
In his letter, 13apai told the twins about the numerous hawks and
falcons found in his country, loca
ted• in western India. on thd - shore
of the Arabian sea.
When they answered Bapa's
ter, the brothers returned the, in
vitation. • Much to 'their arnaz,o
Ba.pa accepted. Soon after
his • arrival, the twins sized, him
up as a "regular guy." He spoke
English, fluently and was quick
in catching on to the American
way of doing things. Cokes,. Am
erican sports, Penn State coeds,
malteds and jitterbugging were
among the many things he found
pleasing about this country. Bapa's
stories of his native land' so in
ttrigued the 'students that they
determined to visit India some
day.
After Bapa left the United Stat
es, John and Frank Craighead
settled down to two years of In
dustrious work at the College. But
during many of their spare
moments they discussed how they
could possibly get to India. Short

the.solution came in the form of an
assignment offered them. by Nati
onal Geographic. That'summer
thej were. to go to India and study
the wild aife there for an article
which they lA;tre.to''write.'for the
Magazine.
-The 3i . oung men found that
Bliavnager was a mixture of the
ultra-modern and the most pri
mitive. On one side they found an
up-to-date hospital,. well-fashion
ed highways, .modern means of
transportation, a 'large university,
and' huge factories, and contrast
ing these were mud villages,
crude cultivators, and crowded
bazaars. Bapa, • their host, lived
in a large castle-like home, com
pletely furnished with all the
comforts known to modern soci
ety. Many of the.brothers' leisure
hours were spent . swimming in
the prince's' private pool.
Contrary to the ancient custom
of India, each of the three broth
ers in the royal family, the Ma
haraja, Prince Nanabhar,.and Ba-
Pa, had a separate house. Since
the Maharaja was modern in all
respects he neither maintained a
harem nor kept his wife hidden,
but allowed her to travel with him
wherever he went. This was true
of Bapa also.
. Upon their arrival the - Craig
heads were given a suite in - the
royal guest house. They were sup
plied with all the necessary ser- •
vants, received a car and a driv
er for their private use, and at
each meal had their choice of na-•
Live or American fond. Visits to
temples, dinners with the Maha
raja, banouets
,at the guest house,
hunting, trapping, nature study,
and swimming occupied most .pf
their time. SeVeral weeks of their
stay in India Was spent in Bapa's
summer home, which they used as
headquarters while . trapping and
training all varieties of haWks and
falcons.
One of the biggest events wit
nessed by the visitors was the an
nual race between the birds of dif
ferent owners. When released the
hawks woad - swoop for prey and
each evening the owner whose
birds had behaved best and had
brought in the most prey was
considered the winner. Hawks
were trained and . sold not only as
a sport but also because they help
to keep the larders of Indian
homes filled. Different varieties of
hawks and falcons are used to
hunt partridges, 'rabbits, black
ibis, herons, and other animals.
