Kenneth Douglas Stewart Anderson (8 March 1910 – 30 August 1974), known primarily as Kenneth Anderson, was a Scottish-Indian writer, nature enthsiast, conservationist, and ethical hunter who lived and worked mostly in South India. He authored several books based on encounters and adventures during his camping and hunting trips in the Indian jungles. His skillful hunting of menacing man-eater leopards and tigers earned him the nickname Corbett of the South, in reference to his older and more famous North Indian counterpart Jim Corbett.

Kenneth Anderson was born 8 March 1910 in the Bolarum neighbourhood of Secunderabad, in the then princely state of Hyderabad (modern day Telangana) in British India. He belonged to a Scottish family that had lived in India for around four generations, and were originally from Glasgow. His father, Douglas Stuart Anderson, was the superintendent at the F.C.M.A. in Poona, in the then Bombay Presidency, and dealt with the salaries of military personnel, having an honorary rank of Captain. His mother, Lucy Ann Taylor (née Bailey), was the grand-daughter of John Taylor, who, for his services to the Mysore Commission, had been gifted land in Bangalore adjacent to the Cubbon Park by Sir Mark Cubbon, the British Commissioner. Douglas, like most Scottish soldiers, took an interest in sport hunting, and influenced Kenneth's interest in the outdoors, wilderness, and hunting activities.

Anderson went to the Bishop Cotton Boys' School, and successfully passed the Senior Cambridge examinations at St. Joseph's European High School. He was sent to study law at Edinburgh, Scotland, but he quit studies and returned to India. He worked for fifteen years in the posts and telegraph department, and later worked at the British Aircraft Factory (later HAL) in Bangalore, at the post of Factory Manager for Planning. He owned nearly 200 acres of land across Karnataka, Hyderabad, and Tamil Nadu.

In 1972 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, from which he died in August 1974. He was buried at the Indian Christian Cemetery on Hosur Road in Bangalore.

Anderson met Cheryl Majoire Blossom Minnette (née Fleming) (born 20 March 1910), who came from Sri Lanka, at the Bowring Club on St. Mark's Road in Bangalore. Her mother, Millicient Toussaint, was a Burgher while her father, Clifford Fleming, was from Australia. They married in April 1929 at Sorkalpet in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, and had two children - a daughter named June (born 19 June 1930) who moved to Australia, and a son named Donald (18 February 1934 - 12 July 2014) who also took an interest in hunting.

The couple separated in later life. Kenneth Anderson moved to Whitefield, while Blossom stayed on at Prospect House, their home on Sydney Road (now Kasturba Road). Blossom Minnette Hyacinth Anderson died on 11 March 1987.

His love for the inhabitants of the Indian jungle led him to big game hunting and to writing real-life adventure stories. He often went into the jungle alone and unarmed to meditate and enjoy the beauty of untouched nature. As a hunter, he tracked down man-eating tigers and leopards. His kills include the Sloth bear of Mysore, the Leopard of Gummalapur, the Rogue Elephant of Panapatti, the Leopard of the Yellagiri Hills, the Tigress of Jowlagiri, the Tiger of Segur and the Tiger of Mundachipallam.

He is credited with having shot 8 man-eating leopards (7 males and 1 female), and 7 tigers (5 males and 2 females) from 1939 to 1966, as per the Government records. Though, he is known to have unofficially shot many more.
