He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1998. He was active in anti-racist bodies from 1984 to 2000. From June 2001 until July 2007, he was the Policy Advisor to the Mayor of London on Asian Affairs in the Greater London Authority, under Mayor of London Ken Livingstone. He used strategic thinking to judge the significance of the emergence of China and India as new super powers of the 21st century with important structural repercussions for London world class city status. He was responsible for creating a comprehensive stream of policy work on Asian Affairs in City Hall including on Asian international issues, Asian festivals and conferences, with Asian businesses and faith groups. It is clear that he had a significant impact and results. He coordinated the 'Standing Together' campaign in London following 9/11 attacks from the Mayor's Office. High profile Asian events and Asian Directors show to some extent this policy is being carried forward in Boris Johnson's administration. He has written 'Asian Century Manifesto: Global Political Economy of the 21st Century' in 2008. About Atma Singh </ref> He made charges of bullying and the discriminatory treatment of Asians in City Hall. Rejecting the politics of Socialist Action in City Hall, he dramatically fell out with them to become a whistleblower. He opposed Sheikh Al Qaradawi's visit to City Hall on grounds of that such a visit could construed as the Mayor giving legitimacy to those condoning terrorist activity. He also raised issues about the election donations to Ken Livingstone's campaign. Subsequently, he wrote an article on Hamas and their entryism in British politics for the Middle East strategic Informer. It has been said that he will stand for Mayor of London in 2012.
