Like Mohammed Siraj, Rinku Singh’s father left too soon, his sacrifices never witnessed the fame they helped build

There is this heart-warming video from last year about Indian cricketer Rinku Singh moving into his 500 square-yard two-storey villa with a pool, a lift, walk-in wardrobe and front-lawn with a swing, on YouTube. It’s a touching house tour by his proud and beaming sister Neha Singh, a silver-button vlogger. It’s the day the family has moved from their two-room derelict shack in a gas-cylinder stockyard, to Aligarh’s new tony address – the gated township where homes have chandeliers hanging from high-ceilings and spacious balconies with faux-grass.
