Captivating & Stunningly beautiful, "The Rajah of Darjeeling" is about Makaibari ~ the first tea garden in the Himalayan Highlands. The book captures the magic of Makaibari & provides a rare glimpse of one of Darjeeling's greatest characters ~ the Thunderbolt Rajah. He is a champion of the organic tea movement, a social activist for tea labourers & small organic farmers, an anthropologist who works tirelessly to preserve the cultural heritage of the Himalayan region & an environmentalist who fights to conserve its rich biodiversity. Included with this book is the award-winning hour-long documentary "The Lord of Darjeeling" (both in English & French) made by Xavier de Lauzanne, the renowned documentary filmmaker from France. The film captures the true spirit of Makaibari & awards the viewer a very personal meeting with Rajah Banerjee. A must have for any tea enthusiast!
