The "Bravest Writer", it's a very sad loss indeed. MAY-HE-REST IN PEACE!! I invite one of his relatives or a close friend, to publish his writings in a book form styled "Articles/Writings of late Mr. D.B.S.JEYARAJ". Nihal

An amazing person. Incredible reporting ,well researched ,in Prep School English. Always very proud of his Thomian background. One of the better products of STC. May he rest in eternal peace and may he rise in glory. Safe in the arms of Jesus.

He searched for the truth in a country where the truth is hard to find... Rest in Peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Jeyaraj, and I, being old Preppites, as fellow scribes in the early eighties, me at the SUN / WEEKEND, and he at VIRAKESARI, travelled the length and breadth of the North East, covering JRJ's first ever Presidential elections, sharing rooms in homes where hotels or rest houses were non existent, and he was like the older brother to me, introducing foods I never had and the big surprise was the juicy Chavakachcheri ripened Jack fruit. Super dry sense of humour was our coded way of being sarcastic about the politicians we accompanied and whilst officially we were on an election coverage, we met many of the leaders and operatives of the various militant groups, from PLOTE, TELO, LTTE, and others who Jeyaraj had networked and educated me about the aspirations and the unresolved issues and the different alignments that separated each faction. Jeyaraj as a younger journalist was mature like a seasoned journalist even then, possessing tremendous wisdom and insights about how the fledgling conflict would pan out with the Indian involvement at that time with training camps run by RAW. Parthasarsthri was one of the key advisers to Indira Gandhi at the time and he played a key role one year later after the dreaded 83 riots took place, and Jeyaraj s prophetic words came to pass in the ensuing years with the rise of the LTTE. RIP my friend. You were leagues above the rest in your domain.

One of my favourite journalist who did balanced reporting and arousing curiosity all the time. May your Soul Rest in Peace 🙏

So sad. So untimely. Profound loss.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and May his soul Rest In Peace. My schoolmate at STPS

RIP Mr. Jeyaraj 🙏

ONE OF THE GREATEST. R,I, P.

R.I.P. 🙏

May his soul rest in peace 🙏.

May he rest in eternal peace

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Always enjoyed the Late DBS’s articles .. never knew that he was a Thomian ..

May his soul Rest in Peace

R.I.P

Rest in peace

May his soul Rest in Peace

May his soul rest in peace.

Truly incredible journalist. Fearless. Pity he was forced to emigrate by dark forces here!

RIP
