I removed much of the article due to significant bias and non-NPOV issues. It's copied here so people can see why more easily. This article needs a fair bit of work to meet NPOV standadrds...
Simranjit Singh is the main voice of Sikhs against the Hindu policital and social organisations and a well known face of the general anti Hindu polemic spouted by the neo Sikhs of the modern era. He is regarded as an icon of Sikhs who identify themselves in terms of their identity being as anti-Hindu rather than the positive outlook animating the earlier Sikh formations. He is a maverick politician with little following amogst the mainstream in his home state of Punjab where many regard him as a stooge of the existing political system Simranjit Singh is constantly pushing an extremists driven agenda with a thinly veiled link to internationally proscribed terrorist groups often masquerading under the cover of human rights His main popularity is amongst the Sikh Right wingers who are often pushing a return to the violence that plagued Punjab during the 1980's. he has also been at the forefront of campaigns to restrict the preaching of Sikhism to 'pure' Sikhs in an ever expaning 'Talibanisation' of a faith which once prided itself on opposing existing prejudices, Such notios of purity have resulted in an increasing a vitriolic atmosphere charged with race , caste, regional and religious hatreds —Preceding unsigned comment added by AntarcticPenguin (talk • contribs) 01:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
This current page is simply embarrassing in its biases and lack of cites. I would propose using the June 17 revision by 67.84.186.253 (not me — I just did the "citation needed" before), but a bot appears to have changed it back.Misaligned —Preceding undated comment added 15:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC).
The following are by no means factual, and indeed are extraordinarily biased: "general anti Hindu polemic spouted by the neo Sikhs of the modern era." " stooge of the existing political system" "constantly pushing an extremists driven agenda with a thinly veiled link to internationally proscribed terrorist groups often masquerading under the cover of human rights " "Manns apparent concern for human rights has not extended to the plight of Sikhs in Pakistan..." "Many Sikhs try and hide the uncomfortable truth about their leaders and psuedo struggle for equal rights which masquerades behind the real agenda of supremacy as enunciated in the Anandpur Resolution of 1972" Also, the grammar is atrocious, and the last line is, inappropriately, neither in English nor translated to English. My motivation, since it has been brought up, is that of a cranky academic who dislikes poorly-written Wikipedia entries.--Misaligned (talk) 17:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
