Poorly sourced and spurious claims

This article cites several articles incorrectly. The citations under "Post Independence Life" point to articles that have almost nothing to do with Makhan Singh. Or in the first few lines: "was a Punjabi-born Kenyan labour union leader who is credited with establishing the foundations of trade unionism in Kenya" points to another wiki, not a proper source.

In the line "the Gujaratis adopted him as a fighter in their folk culture although Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru were against him for no known reason, and they asked for his arrest", the citation points to a blog. The claim itself seems improper on its face, ascribing prejudice to Gandhi/Nehru for "no known reason" without pointing to any scholarly appraisal of the claim 64.224.255.86 (talk) 03:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
