Sardarji jokes are just jokes. Should be taken in light hearted. sometimes we take everything so seriously when compared to Westerners. Here some comic series and late night shows (Family guy, Simpson..Leno) make fun of everything. Jesus, God, Presidents, Cultures etc.. We just watch and laugh. It doesn't mean we don't have respect for them.

Sikhs are well respected in India. I believe (at least from movies i watched :-) ) they are easy going and Patriotic.

Sardar means 'leader'. See Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardar

A famous Sardar - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (not sikh).

Hi Maharaj,

I reply to this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That's what you claim.

I am not questioning your sentiment. And frankly I don't care ... but to some its just plain lie - specially, after all this, if you keep posting jokes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who gets offended by Sikh jokes are behaving like teenagers in high school. People who do not like Sardar jokes leave the jokes alone and let others enjoy. People who are liberal and open minded will enjoy and have some light moments of their lives.

The thing which is in circulation for years will not change on someone's whims. I do not care " Maharaj" whether you belive me or not because you do not have value and existence in my life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
He who has not acquired one of the following: religious merit (dharma), wealth (artha), satisfaction of desires (kama), or liberation (moksa) is repeatedly born to die

Thanks very much ashedfc for your constructive suggestions. I shall definitely try to diversify the jokes covering other communities as well.

Let us make a start, here is one on a gujarati- I am a gujarati.

This joke is available in diffferent versions on the net.

Kanjoos Ahemedabadi
An Ahmedabadi called the obituary section of a leading local newspaper. He inquired-"Tell me, how much would it cost to have an obitualry printed in your Newspaper".
The ad clerk politely told him, "It would be Rupees 100 a word, sir!"
"Thats fine", said Lalloobhai Ahmedabadi after a moment of cost calculation.
"OK, then take them down, Jagdukaka Dead" He dictated to the clerk.
"Oh, that's all?" asked the clerk anticipating big writeup for dear ones.
"Yes, that's it. And charge rupees two hundred to my credit card, please, here is number".
"Hold it Sir, I am sorry, but I should have informed you that the Ad must be for minimum five hundred rupees and you may have minimum five words".
Lalloobhai got annoyed at the failures of his cost calculations. He blasted the Clerk, "Yes, you should have told me that, ahead".
After a moment of updating his cost versus benefit calcs, he loudlly dictated again, "OK write, Jagdukaka dead, Honda for Sale".

Trust this gives peace to some and brings a smile to all.

Thanks,
RJ

Very Good initiative by Rajivji,
Here is one on Canadian. I am a canadian

A little boy wanted $100.00
very badly and prayed for
weeks, but nothing happened.

Then he decided to write God a
letter requesting the $100.00.

When the postal authorities received
the letter to God , CANADA, they
decided to send it to the Prime Minister

The Prime Minister was so amused
that he instructed his secretary to
send the little boy a $5.00 bill.

The Prime Minister thought this would
appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the
$5.00 bill and sat down to write a
thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much for
sending the money. However, I noticed
that for some reason you sent it through
OTTAWA, CAN and those assholes
deducted $95.00 in taxes.
