Yes, he wrote that in his book. I was also amazed when I read many other weird statements about tigers in his book and I inmediatelly remembered that documentary of Valmik Thapar ("Battle for the Tiger", I guess) when the man in charge of the Project Tiger was repeating those same things to justify the lack of tigers in Sariska. That is why I think that reading that book can create confusion. I will advise to read other sources first, like Schaller's "The deer and the tiger", Sunquist's "The social organization of tigers...", "Wild Cats of the World-tiger chapter" and "Tiger Moon", Karanth's "The Way of the tiger", Chundawat's "The rise and fall of the Emeral tigers", Smith's chapter on tigresses territoriality in the book "Tigers of the World" first edition of 1987, McDougal's "The face fo the tiger" and of course Thapar's "Tiger the ultimate guide", "The secret life of the tiger" and "Tiger portrait of a predator". After that, you can try with Sankhala.

By the way, the book of Dr Chundawat "The Rise and Fall of the Emerald Tigers" is brand new and published at the end of 2018. I have it now and is excelent, I am still reading it and is a excelent book.
