Date and length checks out. Needs some rewrite, too much close paraphrase from http://www.sikh-history.com/sikhhist/personalities/sewadars/pheruman.html . Hook ok, but I think it missed the most notable detail, I propose ALT1: ... that Sikh politician Darshan Singh Pheruman died after 74 days on hunger strike, demanding inclusion of Chandigarh and other Punjabi speaking areas into Punjab? --Soman (talk) 10:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

@Soman: Hi, I have changed the article to address your concerns and have expanded it also. Unfortunately, not many sources are available related to his life before his fast. The ALT1 is fine with me. Thanks. --User:Vigyani 00:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

for alt1. Duplication detector is down, but seeing the expansion much of the article now rewritten. --Soman (talk) 05:13, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
