Tracking down Billy Arjan Singh

S. SUBRAMANIUM

RECLUSIVE conservationist Billy Arjan Singh may be a difficult man to track, but his long time friend and associate, U.K.-based journalist, DUFF HART-DAVIS, seems to have managed to pin the elusive man down. Hart-Davis, himself a lover of animals, said about the J. Paul Getty Wildlife Award that Singh has just got, "this is something that should have come his way long time back." Hart-Davies, who has known Arjan Singh for the last 30 years, has written a biography Honorary Tiger that takes a honest, but affectionate, look at Singh and his contribution to wildlife. Hart-Davies wryly acknowledges that his friend "remains a loner" but hopes the book will show off his many facets.
