Zail Singh is a politician, badminton executive and administrator, freedom fighter (India).
Giani Zail Singh (, born Jarnail Singh; 5 May 1916 – 25 December 1994) was an Indian politician from Punjab who served as the president of India from 1982 to 1987 and chief minister of Punjab. He was the first Sikh to become president. Born in Sandhwan in the princely state of Faridkot, Singh trained to be a granthi and was given the title of giani, meaning a learned man, while training at the Sikh Missionary School in Amritsar. Singh was associated with peasant agitations and the movement seeking a representative government in Faridkot. His political activism in the Praja Mandal, an organisation allied with the Indian National Congress, saw him sentenced to solitary confinement between 1938 and 1943. He led a flag satyagraha and formed a parallel government in Faridkot State which were called off only after the intervention of Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel.

Birth details come from a published reference (source: 765 Notable Horoscopes) and have not been checked against a birth record, so the Moon sign is usually right but the Ascendant could differ.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 385 politicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 40 of them (10%) have the Moon in Taurus, like Zail Singh, and 17 (4%) share the Mrigashira Nakshatra — the #6 most common Moon Nakshatra among politicians, where Uttara Bhadrapada leads with 25 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
