What was the name of such species (Panthera tigris tigris) before arrival of British?
Please use “Mahabala” or simply “Tiger” in English.
The species was ubiquitous throughout the subcontinent, but first spotted by Britishers in the so called Bengal region(including Odisha) as known to them. Later the species was extensively hunted by Sahebs & Nawabs throughout India. Like ‘Bay of Bengal’, there is nothing Bengal in RBT.
