Omnipresent Indian rage guy

When there was a spate of racist attacks on Indians in Australia, Paramjit Pamma was there.
When a gunman opened fire killing Sikhs at an American gurdwara, he led the protest.
When the French banned the wearing of turbans in schools, Pamma as expected agitated.
In Canada whenever there is a violation of the Sikh code, Pamma’s outrage is evident.
Dubbed the "angriest man of India" and not without reason, by the Indian media, The Times of India recently described him as the messiah of the common man and a harbinger of change.
Paramjit Pamma is popularly known as the 'Omnipresent Sikh Rage Guy', who sees "agitating" as a sure shot way of getting things done, the paper said.
Giving him a cause is enough for him to pick up a placard (and even swords!) and take to the streets. 
Pamma was 16 years old when he first agitated. Pamma soon found 'fierce protesting' - a world thrown open before him by his father - to be his life's calling. He dropped out of school at the age of 14 which never came in the way of him forming a critical thought about any issue - national or global - that troubled mankind.
Soon christened as the "most outraged man in the history of mankind", 44 year old Pamma has now become a recognized face on and off social media. Twitterverse pointed out how Pamma successfully sold onions and pulses at Rs 20 and Rs 9, when the entire nation sold these at rising prices of Rs 80 and Rs 60 respectively.
His agitations have not only been confined to issues that exasperate Indians. He has, very brazenly, protested against racist attacks on Indians in Australia; the gurdwara shootout in US that killed and injured many; and the French ban on wearing turbans in schools. His agitation against the French ban gained such public eye that a reply from the office of the French President became inevitable: assuring him that Sikhs "are not prohibited from wearing turbans in universities or other public places".
"Even the office of the Queen has written to me assuring Sikh rights (in UK). I have protested for Indians across the world — Canada, England, Australia and the US," confirms Pamma to The Times of India.
Pamma also believes that there is no place for dialogue or negotiation when it comes to agitating for a cause. 
"Nobody listens. They (authorities) give you an appointment and never turn up. Until you take to the streets, things won't get off the ground," adds Pamma.
No political inclinations but open to all
"I cannot put a number to the members of my organization but anyone who's interested in fighting for his rights can join me. Many political leaders have also approached me on different occasions but I have steered clear of them," says Pamma who is also the founder and president of the National Akali Dal group. 
Invitations have also been extended to journalists to cover his protests against many world leaders.
Pamma was also witnessed for burning Pakistan's flag. He believes that India’s neighbor’s behavior has never been short of dubious.
He has nothing against Pakistan or the way the country is run. What angers him is "their doublespeak". According to him, "they extend a friendly gesture and launch an attack on the border the next minute."
Having undergone two heart surgeries already, agitating has taken a definite toll on Pamma's health. Even though this constantly worries his wife sick - who helps her husband follow a "controlled diet" and take his "medicines" - Pamma remains adamant for fighting against an issue that might "affect our kids tomorrow".
Pamma usually keeps an eye out for anything that may go against a common man's interest. 
Even though he's a devout admirer of Bhagat Singh, Pamma swears by Dylan Thomas's "rage, rage against the dying of the light; do not go gentle into that good night", The Times of India noted.
