Billy Arjan Singh: Tiger of Dudwa
Posted on Jan 2nd, 2010
Billy Arjan Singh was a legend in his lifetime, and one of the foremost conservationists that India ever had. It was through my friend, Shaminder Boparai, that I re-connected with him, his life and his accomplishments. Shaminder had just finished a coffee table book on him and Billy was immensely pleased to see the way the way it turned out. The book celebrates his success of a person the likes of which we seldom see. His was a life lived to the full.
