Vishavjit Singh, an editorial cartoonist in US, dresses up like Captain America to educate people about the Sikh identity.


"In late 2011, I penned a vision of Captain America with a turban and beard into a poster for New York City Comic Con. This inspired Fiona Aboud, a talented photographer to envision the 2-D image in the third dimension. Inspired in turn by her work on Sikhs in America I donned the spirit of Captain America on a beautiful summer day in New York City. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the article inspired a second journey on the streets of New York," reads his page on Sikhtoons.com.
