. The Sequoias of California No tale of the forest is complete without some account of the giant sequoias of California, which are among the largest and oldest trees in the world.

The sequoias or big trees are relics of another age. Long, long ago these giants of the forest first began to grow.

Centuries have passed, but still they live, vigorous and mighty as of old. Many thousand years ago these aged trees grew all over the northern half of the earth.

Sequoias turned to stone have been found in Greenland. Greenland then was "green" indeed, a lovely spot on the earth's surface.

Now it is a frozen waste; these stone trees alone remind us of what it was like ages ago. To-day, in the twentieth century, but a few of these sequoias remain.

Their home is on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California, where they grow more than a mile above the level of the sea. These trees of wonderful age were first discovered less than a hundred years ago.

In 1841 an old hunter and explorer named John Bid well was making a trip on foot through the mountain woodlands of eastern California. One day he came upon a group of monster trees.

There were at least a hundred of them standing together. He had never seen trees half so large as these, and when he returned to his home he told his friends wonderful tales of the forest giants he had seen.

Those trees are now owned by the government of the United States. They form what is known as the Calaveras Grove.

During the last few years the government has bought several groves of these big trees. But into some of the groves men had already gone and, with ax and saw, and even gunpowder, destroyed many of the noble old trees.

The sequoias are so lasting that, even when fallen, they lie on the ground for hundreds of years without (less)

Sardar Buta Singh, First Class Magistrate, a man whose family is known for its loyalty to the Raj, is close to being nominated to the Queens honours list that year. However, unknown to him, his son Sher Singh has become the leader of a group of gun-wielding, anti-British revolutionaries.

When the headman of a nearby village, a police informer, goes missing, Sher Singh is arrested. If proved guilty of treason he could be sentenced to death.

A disgraced Buta Singh disowns his son in order to show his continuing loyalty to the government, and his god-fearing wife Sabhrai turns to the Guru for guidance. The kindly Deputy Commissioner, John Taylor, an Englishman who is sympathetic to Indians and understands the familys predicament, offers them two alternatives: Sher Singh can either betray his comrades and save his life or else be hanged.

Meanwhile, in Simla, Sher Singhs wife and sister are involved in a parallel drama of their own with Madan, a revolutionary and a rake. I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale has been widely acclaimed as Khushwant Singhs finest novel (less)

Pandit, Vamanrao (1882-1941) was born with a marked talent for portrature, later honed by no less than two of the most celebrated artists of Europe, Philip de Laszlo and John Singer Sargent. Vamanrao has painted the well-known and well-heeled: Sir Dorab Tata, Sudhira Devi (Gayatri Devi's paternal aunt), Sir Cowasji Jehangir, Sir Ibrahim Rahimtoolah, Maharaja Sayajirao Geakwar, Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar and other 40 odd Maharajas, Ranas, Raos, Maharanas and Rajas from several princely states across India.

After his law education in London, Vamanrao moved to Vienna where Philip de Laszlo was already a recognised portraits in Europe. He spent four years with de Laszlo, travelling extensively throughout Europe visiting crowned heads of Europe and the aristocracy.

During this time, a friendship evolved between the two. De Laszlo made a suave portrait of the very handsome Vamanrao dressed as an Indian prince which was exhibited in 1907.

In 1097 Vamanrao moved back to London and joined the Royal Academy under Sargent. In his time in Europe, Vamanrao painted portraits of Lady Nina Corbet, Baron Arild Rosencrantz, the celebrated artist Otto Friedrick and the Countess of Bective among other aristocrats and nobility.

Vamanrao's style of portrature has the European academic approach and yet sports a distinct style - he used a muted colour palette and presented the jewels and pearls of his Indian sitters without overstating them. Says historian Sharada Dwivedi, who places Vamanrao's paintings 'an extremely high level' in the context of Indian art.

'There are many unsung artists. Vamanrao Pandit has been rediscovered now.

His portrature is as sensitive as, say, Raja Ravi Varma's or Dhurandhar's, although very different in style. He beautifully managed to get into the soul of the person.
