Is this THE Dara Singh?
As many of you may have noted, my blog entry about Dara Singh and the other wrestler's of the 1950s are some of the hotest pages that I have. The controversy rages, and even as I try to put it out, it flares up again.
Now I have an email from Mahabir. He has sent me some photographs of a person whom he says is the Dara Singh.
