Tribhuvaneshwar Saran -- or T S -- Singh Deo is a most unusual politician. Apart from being Chhattisgarh's health minister, T S Baba -- as he is known in his assembly constituency Ambikapur -- is also the maharaja of Surguja.

He is also a man of rare passion, as you can see from these photographs when the 70 year old (he will be 71 on October 31) went skydiving in Canberra, Australia.
