Part One

Ashok Sing­hal is at this time the most in­flu­en­tial Hin­du in the world. This 88-year-old has re­mained un­wed and has com­mit­ted his whole life to the prop­a­ga­tion and pro­tec­tion of Hin­duism, not on­ly in In­dia, but through­out the world.Ashok has vis­it­ed T&T on nu­mer­ous oc­ca­sions, the last time be­ing in Au­gust 2012. On that oc­ca­sion the Ma­ha Sab­ha host­ed a num­ber of re­li­gious cer­e­monies in his ho­n­our.

At a spe­cial re­cep­tion held at the Crowne Plaza Ho­tel in Port-of-Spain, Sing­hal was moved by the ac­co­lades show­ered up­on him by the dozens of Trinidad pun­dits and Hin­du devo­tees hold­ing im­por­tant po­si­tions in the coun­try.Shri Ashok Sing­hal was born on Sep­tem­ber 28, 1926, in the city of Agra, Ut­tar Pradesh, In­dia. In De­cem­ber 2011, the vet­er­an Vish­wa Hin­du Parishad leader was re­placed as the in­ter­na­tion­al pres­i­dent of the or­gan­i­sa­tion, while its gen­er­al sec­re­tary Pravin To­ga­dia was giv­en greater re­spon­si­bil­i­ty.

The VHP board of trustees at their three-day meet­ing ap­point­ed Raghav Red­dy and To­ga­dia as the new in­ter­na­tion­al pres­i­dent and in­ter­na­tion­al work­ing pres­i­dent re­spec­tive­ly. Cham­pat Rai of Del­hi was made in­ter­na­tion­al gen­er­al sec­re­tary, Ashok Chowgule of Mum­bai was cho­sen as work­ing pres­i­dent (VHP Ex­ter­nal) while Di­nesh Chan­dra of Del­hi was ap­point­ed the or­gan­i­sa­tion­al gen­er­al sec­re­tary.
