He was shown to go through the entire recruitment process and getting selected in the end. He doesn’t have any diagnosis and goes through school and college like any other kid. Why do you think the Indian Army should discriminate against him?

Both? Meaning a Sikh cannot be low IQ?

Its not about a Sikh cannot be low IQ but about the stereotype of a Sardar being dumb. Those lame Santa banta jokes have really created a stereotype of Sikh's being a gem at heart and brave but really brainless. I don't think Sikhs appreciate that!

It has nothing to do with being dumb though. LSC wasn’t even shown as dumb. What stereotype are we talking about here? Only folks who have no clue what the movie was about can get offended for such a thing.On the contrary, all this is absolutely offensive to the actual special needs people. It’s an irony that no one is paying attention to that or even trying to be politically correct to not to offend them.

U asked what offended them I gave you a plausible reason for it. It is not me who is offended nor did I even watch the movie. I get ur point though!
