In December 2012, a competition was held in Amritsar, India called Mr. Singh International 2012 to “generate awareness about Sikhs globally.”

While the competition was held last December, I only discovered this today when my friend and colleague Lori Way sent me a link to a photo gallery about the competition which, upon viewing, rendered me entirely speechless.
