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 U FIND INDIANS?
INDIANS?
WHO INDIANS?
I DIDN'T FIND OR MET A SINGLE INDIAN
THERE IN INDIA
WHAT NONSENSE?
WHO ELSE COULD U MET IN INDIA THEN?
THE AMERICAN SAID
IN GUJARAT I MET GUJARATI
IN KASHMIR I MET A KASHMIRI
IN PUNJAB A PUNJABI
IN BIHAR, MAHARASTRA, RAJASTHAN, BENGAL, TAMILNADU, KERALA
BIHARI, MARATHI, MARWADI, BENGALI, TAMILAN, MALAYALI
THEN I MET
A MUSLIM,
A HINDU,
A SIKH
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 POLITICIANS WANT
FIGHT BACK
ALWAYS SAY I AM INDIAN
