Sunny's feminism, environmentalism and socialist credentials in large part is not out of any particular political conviction,  it is partly related to him trying to look favourable to the opposite sex.

Ironically, most women can see through that brand of disingenuousness and are repelled by it, whether they consciously realise it or not is another subject.

I really hope not. But from reading his tweets, it's seems that he will indeed subtly paint that picture. He's not gonna talk about Sikh principles, etc. He calls his brother an "influential religious leader". And it does indeed seem like that he will use his brother death to progress his career and put his own views forward.

"Jagraj and I clashed strongly over inter-faith marriages being disrupted at Sikh Gurdwaras across Britain. We came to a resolution by the end, when he was really ill from cancer, but it damaged our relationship for several years. In YS&P, I explore why we clashed over it." "

"And then there was our clash, over interfaith marriages, that is also central to the story."

"charismatic figure who made a name for himself through the internet (a bit like his brother)" 

This dude is gonna subtly paint sikhi in a negative way. Maybe I am reading too into it. What you guys think?

Journalist Sunny Hundal explores the legacy of his late brother Jagraj Singh, the most popular Sikh leader of modern Britain, who sparked an unprecedented revival of young people returning to the faith.

I think that Sunny is upset that Sikhs are becoming Sikhs. To fit in, he became a coconut. Such people think that there's no way to live as a Sikh in the 21st century. Therefore, just don't.

But when they see other people, especially young people, living as Sikhs, it bothers them because it exposes them as just lazy and weak.

So they lash out.

And I'm beginning to suspect Hundal has latched onto his brother's untimely passing as currency to advance his own career and ideals. If that's actually true, then he's a terrible human being.

Oh, definitely he's a terrible human being.

It's amazing that he feels the need to bring in the fact that he was the brother of Jugraj Singh. 

Is that his only claim to fame? Can't he just stand on his own merits, if any?

I might have a modicum of respect if he had engaged in open, public debates with his brother while he was alive and well. 

Instead, he gets his digs in when Jagraj Singh can't defend himself or our religion from Sunny's denigrations of our faith.

The BBC page says: "In a bid to understand why his own brother became so religious Sunny also spends time with his family, and, for the first time, visits a Sikh camp."

So, now that Jagraj Singh dead, now this loser Sunny wants to understand why Jagraj became religious? What a fool. Why didn't he simply ask his brother when he was alive?

Also, notice how he subtly insults him by saying not just "religious", but "so religious". As if Jagraj is in danger of exploding a bomb at any time.

One word he certainly won't use is spiritual, because to Sunny Sikhism is just a serious of stupid meaningless rules. No one would ever follow such crazy rules unless they themselves were crazy.
