| |  | |  What Is Nikhil Advani's Problem with Sikh's?
I feel I must write on this, having just watched Patiala House, but the Director Nikhil Advani seems to have a real problem with Sikhs. So far I have noted the following in his films: Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/arts-and-society/35330-what-is-nikhil-advanis-problem-sikhs.htmlReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35330
1) Salam e Ishq - Incidental Sikh charachters are either buffoons, idiots or whipping boys.
2) Chandni Chowk To China - Main protaganist Sidhu (a Punjabi presumably Sikh). A weak feeble stupid coward, who comes good after letting go of what makes him up.
3) Patiala House - Sikhs potrayed very stereo typically as loud, crass and over bearing. In some cases, weaklings and buffoons. The Sikh women, portrayed as loose.
Anyone else noticed this common theme in his films?

You may say Sidhu was a Bhaiya but most of the people at work thought he was a Punjabi or a hybrid Sikh character. |

From which angle this person look like a sikh? |
