Prabhjot Singh is a professor of international and public affairs at [[SIPA]]. While a great teacher, his claim to fame is "getting punched in the face."<ref>[http://bwog.com/2013/12/17/actual-wisdom-prabhjot-singh/]</ref>

In September 2013, Singh, who is Sikh and wears a turban, was punched in the face on 110th street at 8:15 pm on a Saturday night. NYPD investigated it as a hate crime as the men who attacked him shouted anti-Muslim slurs.<ref>[http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2013/09/22/sipa-professor-attacked-possible-hate-crime]</ref> Fairly coincidentally, a year earlier, Singh wrote an op-ed in the NYTimes about hate crimes.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/24/opinion/do-american-sikhs-count.html?_r=1&]</ref>

Through the aftermath, Professor Singh proved himself to be a classy and wise man, making great statements and overall be helpful and awesome.<ref>[http://bwog.com/2013/10/11/update-from-professor-singh/]</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6RVMIuroOU]</ref><ref>[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/09/25/a-message-of-hope-in-response-to-the-attack-on-prabhjot-singh.html]</ref>
