The Cartoonist
by NEHA SINGH GOHILVishavjit Singh, a New York-based software engineer, spends his free time creating cartoons about Sikhs. His work, over five hundred cartoons in total, has spanned topics ranging from Sikh basketball players to Punjab politics. His audience is anyone who can access the internet and his website. So not only is Vishavjit using a unique vehicle - cartoons - to comment on current events and the press, but he also uses high-tech new media to create and disseminate his work.

Vishavjit Singh is a pretty awesome guy. I was pleased to meet him the other day at New York's Sikh Day Parade and his very nice family as well. I also met another sikhchic.com writer, named Manjyot Kaur. That was pretty cool.

The only negative thing (if possible) I can say about Vishavjit Singh is that he is not in the UK with us. Keep up the good work.

I like people depicted in cartoon form. It brings out a smile, and creates a friendly environment. Please keep it up.

I met Vishavjit Singh in Fremont Gurdwara in June. He is an awesome guy and I really felt fortunate to have met him and learnt so many new things which we intend to implement in Gurmat Camps in India.
