It's true
We all love Sardar jokes. But do you know that Sikhs
are one of the hardest working prosperous and diversified communities in
the world.
My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.
During last vacation, his few friends came to Delhi. They rented a taxi
for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys being
boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease the old
man.
But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.
At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The
Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra
and said,
''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji
jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in
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 one request. I am giving you one
rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in
this or any other city.'
My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging anywhere.'
MORAL:
The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do
any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Sardar will drive a truck or
set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, put a fruit juice stall, take up
small time carpentry, ... but he will never beg on the streets.
