How popular series 'South Park' inspired Dalbir Singh's 'Sikh Park'

"I have never seen the 'South Park' series. I have lived in various countries like Morocco where the TV was always broadcast in the local language. So, I never enjoyed it. I have never seen an episode of 'South Park'," Singh said. '

A refreshing change from the tired, worn-down tropes of cliched sardarji jokes, the web comic Sikh Park is a colourful, quirky, and lighthearted glimpse into the life of the community, that does not shy away from taking gleeful digs at its idiosyncrasies.
A spoof of the notoriously popular animated series South Park, the comic created by adman Dalbir Singh was initially a means for him to talk about racial discrimination faced by the community abroad. But along the way as it gained in popularity, it began dealing with things a more 'desi' audience could empathise with-- from pop culture and music to politics and food.
