—”I can’t make everyone happy, I’m not Rajma Chawal.” If you’ve been seeing this comic shared on your Facebook timeline from the last couple of days, you have probably seen ‘Sikh Park’ already. The Facebook page Sikh Park is a South Park-inspired comic, but a cleaner and slightly funnier version of the adult animated show ‘South Park.’
The creator of Sikh Park, Dalbir Singh has travelled from Hungary to Canada and Hong Kong to Morocco. He runs his own ad film company called KISS Films and has worked with some of the largest brands in India. Sikh Park was born after a well-known website Sikhchic.com started a humour section to promote Sikh art and culture.
“Originally the idea of Sikh Park was to break away from the stereotype of Sikhs/Punjabis. For the westerners we wanted to show Sikhs as more progressive hence the iPods and LVs and Hummers. For the Indian masses, it was to show them as witty because we have been fed too much of these dumb Sardar Ji jokes,” says Dalbir Singh.
The comics are usually the adventures of a young Sikh boy and his uber cool grandfather who knows how to enjoy life.
