A Serious Joke

April 24, 2009

An American visited India and went back to America
Where he met his Indian friend who asked him
How did u find my Country?
The American said it is a great country
With solid ancient history
And immensely rich with natural resources.
The Indian friend then asked.
How did you find Indians??
 
Indians??
Who Indians??
I didn’t find or met a single Indian there in India.
 
What nonsense??
Who else could you met in India then??
The American said.
In Kashmir I met a Kashmiri
In Punjab a Panjabi
In Bihar, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala
Bihari, Marathi, Marwadi, Bengali, Tamilian, Malayali
 
Then I met
A Hindu,
A Muslim,
A Christian,
A Jain,
A Buddhist
 
And many many many more
But not a single Indian did I meet
 
Think how serious this joke is.
The day would not be far off when indeed we would
Become a collection of nation states as some
Regional anti-national caste and communal politicians want…
Fight back –
Always say I am Indian
Jai hind!
