Untitled[edit]

It'd be nice to see a comment on his name and it's similarity to the famous Scottish song. Is Danny Bhoy his real full name? enquiring minds want to know! 150.101.153.214 03:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On 2006-12-01 I changed this page to read that Danny Bhoy was his real name based entirely on the article in burnley citizen. Since then it has been changed by three different? anonymous users to indicate that his real name is Daniel (or Danny) Chaudry. eg: "I also know that his name is Daniel Chaudry, not as claimed in the article Bhoy. As far as I know this is a stage name only." by 124.149.41.123 and 89.240.179.149 who claimed to have been at school with him. Really, the name is Danny Bhoy

I'm not changing is again as some more diffinitive prrof for either case is now required.Mobz 00:56, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


East Indian is a misnomer for Indian - it's more relevant to Canadians of Punjabi descent[edit]

First fo all: In this day and age, members of Canada's aboriginal communities and First Nations' communities no longer refer to themselves as Indians.

On the other hand, among Indians who come from the South Asian state, the term, East Indian, refers to the descendants of the earliest converts to Roman Catholicism in the Konkan coast area.

In Canada, on the other hand, it's usually citizens of Punjabi origin who call themselves East Indians, in order to distinguish themselves from the First Nations, particularly in the Western provinces of BC and Alberta.

Hence, it is inaccurate to refer to Danny Bhoy as East Indian because, in fact, he is a Scotsman whose father was from India. It would be more correct to say he is Indo-Scottish.

Besides, the East Indies did not necessarily stand for India even in the era of great shipbuilders and explorers. It actually pointed to Indonesia and its surrounding areas at a time the world was still being discovered by Western Europe.

Nevertheless, for the time being, Canada is probably the only country in which a minority classification is being erroneously used to describe almost anyone of Indian origin.

This article is like just a big copy paste from the site linked[edit]

60.243.80.74 (talk) 16:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)This article presents a biased perspective. The reference to Danny Bhoy being reviewed in a poor light needs citations. I performed a Google search specifically looking for bad reviews of the show in question and found only one (plus it was using the exact words mentioned in this article so this is obviously the reference point used by the writer). Additionally, I found only one comment that agreed with the review. This comment was copied (without a single word changed) onto another site where the user used a different name. Thus, it appears that very few people are unhappy with the performer (let alone feel that he disappointed "us") or consider him a thing of the past. He still has a huge fan base (check out his Facebook messages) despite the harshness of a critic.[reply]

The point about him requesting two audience members to leave needs a citation as does the alleged internet backlash. I found no evidence of the latter apart from the single comment that was copied across websites. 60.243.80.74 (talk) 16:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date[edit]

I removed the birth date because we were given evidence that it was incorrect. However, it was in the form of an official document, which we cannot use. If a reliable secondary source can be found with the correct date, that would be best. Otherwise it's best not to have a birth date at all. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source of stage name[edit]

Does anyone know why Danny chose the surname Bhoy? I came here looking for that information, as well as the British/Gaelic folklore reference maybe it has some Indian significance? Strange that it is not mentioned. 01:59, 29 August 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.151.225 (talk)
