This message was forwarded to me by a friend. An excellent response by atrue Sardaar:"Hello friendz!!Well, jayant , my friend, told me the following incident which i wish toshare with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.In the diwali vacation, Jayant and his couple of friends had gone to delhi.They rented a taxi forlocal sight-seeing.The driver was a old sardar, and boys being boys, Jayant and his pals began cracking sardarjijokes, just to insinuate the old man.But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid up the hire-charges. The sardarreturned the change. Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said,( in Hindi , ofcourse) ,''son, sincemorning you have been telling sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and letme tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste.Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to seethe world. But I havejust one request. Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first sardar beggar that youcome across in this city."Jayant continued," That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find asingle sardar begging onthe streets of Delhi."Friends, we all love sardar jokes. But the fact of matter is that sikhs areone of the mostprosperous and diversified communities in the world. The secret behind theiruniversal success,according to me , is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication. A sardar will drive atruck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on thestreets.Are we just going to pass on long forwarded mails of sardar jokes, or are wegoing to try and bring our own community on par with theirs ??Please think abt it and let me know your reactions.
