The relation between sloth bears and tigers is complicated. In some areas tigers kill and hunt those bears, like Panna or Pench, but in other areas like Nagarahole they just ignore them. Interestingly in Ranthambore the bears almost dominate tigers! Valmik Thapar hipotesize that probably that is a learned behaviour and as the mothers are afraid of the bears, her sons (males and females, independently of the size) also do not develop the corage to face and even kill them, so when they face them they normally run away.

sloth bears chase tigers in any reserve it's nothing unique in ranthambore idk about sloth bears dominating tigers there because that would involve them bulling tigers of their kills which i've yet to see and tigers have killed and eaten sloth bears in ranthambore here this is the usual outcome when they chase a tiger
