Claim record · DOS-III.QUICK-MIND

Quick mind, immovable on principle

C Attributed / requires confirmation Character & testimony

Contemporaries are described as recalling a man who grasped the essence of a proposition instantly but was immovable on principle.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.

Evidence

Tier
C Attributed / requires confirmation Press-only, single-source, or contested between sources. Published only with attribution (“according to…”).
Sources
“Sardar Teja Singh Samundri: A Century On”, K. B. S. Sidhu
Attribution
2026 centenary accounts, drawing on contemporaries’ recollections
What would change it
A source written in his own lifetime or shortly after — a letter, a memoir, a contemporary press profile — rather than a 2026 retrospective.
