Alasinga Perumal - Do we know him?

Recently read, that when National Poet, Mahakavi Bharathiyar when he went to attend Congress session in Kolkotta(English could not call it by Kaligata) he also met Swami Vivekananda's disciple Sister Nivedita(Born in Ireland by name Margaret). Bharathiyar asked Sister Nivedita, that we in Chennai do not have good leaders to follow, what do we do? Sister Nivedita instantly replied, 'Why you can follow Alasinga Perumal'. So who is Alasinga Perumal? Doubt even if one out of hundred Tamils would ever know him. Its one of the letter of Swami Vivekananda wrote from America to Alasinga Perumal 'Go this very minute to Sri Parthasarathy...' is inscribed in stone in both the entrances of Sri Parthasarathy temple, Triplicane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alasinga_Perumal At Madras Christian College, Rev. William Miller, principal of the college at that time, was very much pleased with the studious Alasinga and arranged a scholarship for him...In December 1892 Vivekananda went to Madras and when Alasinga and his friends met him, they immediately felt that Vivekananda was the best candidate to represent India in the Parliament. He and his friends worked to collect money for Vivekananda' journey. In August 1893, Vivekananda informed Alasinga from America about the financial troubles he was facing at that time. After receiving this information, Alasinga borrowed 1000 from a merchant, and even sold his wife's gold ornament to collect money for Vivekananda. In Madras he taught as well, working for Pachaiyappa's School in George Town. Within a few years he was promoted to headmaster...Though Vivekananda received very warm receptions in almost every city of America and England and his Parliament of Religion speeches were covered by the most notable newspapers of America, in India, these events and successes initially got almost no newspaper coverage. To popularize Vivekananda's efforts and success in India, Alasinga organized a meeting at Pachaiyappa's Hall, Madras on 28 April 1894. ..Under inspiration of Swami Vivekananda, Alasinga with two other disciples of Vivekananda, Dr. M.C. Nanjunda Row and Venkataranga Raos, started publishing Brahmavadin, a journal on Hindu religion and Vedanta philosophy. Would our media wake up atleast NOW to TALK ABOUT THIS GREAT LEADER WHO WAS MUCH TRUSTED BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA AMONG ALL HIS DISCIPLES FROM INDIA to write a letter from America for an important work?
