The photo was taken during the muhuurat of Nishana c. 1949. The guy is 
Mohinder Singh. I have seen photos of Rajinder Singh. He looks 
different. After I go home, will try to dig up a photo of RS and post.

Well, my website has lots of photos of me. I became a clean-shaven Sikh 
c. 1956, but kept wearing a turban until 1963. The earliest photo is 
from the first-year prize distribution ceremony during early 1964. As 
mentioned on my website, I won evry single college prize and later, 
stood (bracketed) first in the university.
