Talk:Zail Singh

Being first Sikh to...
Boasting about being first Sikh to hold the highest honor is actually defaming him and his religion. He was holding the highest post and honor in country because of his qualities and/or qualifications, not because he was a Sikh. Information moved to second paragraph.

Did he make an attempt to protect Sikhs in the 1984 riots?
Did the President make any attempt to open his presidential mansion to protect the innocent Sikhs who were being targeted in the 1984 riots in Delhi? He could have used his authority and status to protect them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.245.242 (talk) 10:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Apparent inconsistency?
The article says that he was imprisoned in 1947 and tortured "for 5 years" but also that he was offered the post of minister in 1949. How can both be true? KropotkinSchmopotkin (talk) 14:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
