Hi Rage,
Kindly note, the one you posted is Male T-58 & not Sultan. T-58 is the sibling of T-56 & T-57, son of Jaisinghpura Tigress T-26 and is widely believed to have been sired by Jhumroo (T-20) in early 2011. Apparently, T-58 seems to have taken over parts of Kundal, entire Chidikho & Balas areas after having driven the erstwhile dominant Male Kumbha (T-34) away. T-58 is also the one who'd killed the Male cub of Ladli (T-8) last year at Kundal. As per official sources, Sultan (T-72) resides in Keladevi and has been caught on camera trap from time to time. 
Thanks for the correction, I would've never double checked if it wasnt for your post.
  Very nice to see sultan. When was this clicked and which area?

I'd love to see new sultan images some time soon.

The Plight of Tigers in India - by John Isaac Edited by James Morrissey  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India This article was previously published in 2010, but lost during our forum migration. It is with great pleasure that we are re-posting it here today. _________________________ Manhattan, New York, NY Pet Photographer By John Isaac, Edited by James Morrissey I’ve been going to India to photograph the tigers for the past 20 years. In the last two years, I have decided to put my concerns for their existence into a book. It is my hope that people will realize how desperate their situation is, and that change may occur. The latest figure for the number of tigers left in India, where over half the world’s tiger population lives, is about 1,400. This is according to a 2008 census done by the National Tiger Conservation Authority. Many conservationists dispute this figure and say the reality is that less than 800 tigers are left in the wild. In January 2010, the World Wildlife Fund placed the tiger on its list of “10 Species to Watch” and launched a Year of the Tiger campaign to coincide with the Chinese year of the tiger, which started last February.  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India India has many national parks set aside for its tigers, but I’ve been concentrating on two - Ranthambore, in Rajasthan and Bandhavgarh, in Madhya Pradesh. No matter how many times I’ve been lucky enough to “shoot” a tiger, it is always a thrill. It is something that I never can quite get over the feeling of. The first jeep ride of the day is in the early morning, usually leaving the lodge at 5 a.m. When working in the field, the days can be incredibly long and exhausting. I believe that much of my continued success has been as a result of my work with Olympus cameras. The Four Thirds system is perfect for me for several reasons. The first has to do with size and weight. As you may know, the 4/3 System lenses show an equivalent field of view that is 2x the size of a full frame (35 mm) camera. When I use a 300 mm 2.8 lens it is actually equivalent to a 600 mm 2.8 lens in a full-frame camera. Olympus also has image stabilization built in the body of the E-3 cameras that is a big help. This way I avoid having to lug around a cumbersome tripod, and believe me, these days I don’t even have to take a monopod. Being able to shoot handheld is a huge advantage. I know that I am an Olympus Visionary and that my opinion can be seen as biased, however, I would not say it if I did not absolutely believe it was true.  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India The tigers suffer from a variety of factors that are preventing these great predators from living safely. The first big problem has to do with human encroachment on their land. Population density and having the land necessary for the people has created a natural strain between the tigers and the people. People in villages surrounding the parks move into and build on the land set aside for the tigers. It is hard to convince villagers of the importance of saving tigers when for them it means less grazing land for their cattle. Another large problem for the tigers has to do with poaching. A villager may kill a tiger because it has attacked and killed his own cattle, which his livelihood depends on. The government has a program to pay the villager when his cattle is killed by a tiger, but pays him less than ½ in compensation. There’s a small criminal group that kills a tiger because there is a big market for their skin, teeth and bones. In China in particular, all the parts of the tiger sell for a high profit. Tiger penis soup is considered an aphrodisiac and so the demand for tiger parts in China is very high.  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Bandhavghar Tiger Reserve, Madya Pradesh, India  *This image is copyright of its original author © John Isaac, Photo taken in Bandhavghar Tiger Reserve, Madya Pradesh, India If something drastic isn’t done soon, conservationists say the tiger will cease to exist in the wild in as little as five years. I hope that awareness can help bring action to help save these amazing animals.
