This message was forwarded to me by a friend.
An excellent response by a true Sardar:
In the diwali vacation, Jayant and his couple of friends had gone to delhi.
They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing.
The driver was a old sardar, and boys being boys, Jayant and his pals began cracking sardarji jokes, 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 sardar
returned the change.
Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said,( in Hindi , of course) ,''son, since morning you have been telling sardarji jokes. I
listened to them all and let me 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 see
the world. But I have just one request. Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first sardar beggar that you come across in this city."
Jayant continued," That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a
single sardar begging on the streets of Delhi."
Friends, we all love sardar jokes. But the fact of matter is that sikhs are
one of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world. The
secret behind their universal success, according to me , is their
willingness to do any job with utmost dedication.
A sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on the streets.

Hey nice one.....
Hope at least few after reading this will not crack jokes on Sardar's, most of the sardar jokes are PJ's and I personally don't like sardar jokes.
Thanks for sharing :)

Hi frends !!
Excellent posting...
Sardar community is very prosperous and Spirit of entrepreneurship is high among them... that is why we dont find sardar beggars .. even I had this thought .. I have never come across a real sardarji begging .. other than some fakes i came across in Mumbai ..
I have always met .. jolly sardarji businessmen and in other vocations ..
Cracking jokes on sardarji ... I feel its ok to an extent .. its just part of being humorous .. I never take any sardar jokes as real representation of sardar community .. I just enjoy the message and humor .. there are some smart jokes on sardarjis also ..
however .. any jokes which are obscene, hurtful, vulgar and absolutely unacceptable towards any person, community, religion, faith should be discouraged .. now days .. we see on television .. any jokes are cracked in the name of sense of humor and laugh-on-your-self types attitude ..
Best Wishes
