Greatness of Sardarji's (Not a joke!!!!!)

"Hello friends!! Well, jayant , my friend, told me the following incidentwhich I wish to share 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 for local sight-seeing. The driver was an 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 Sardarreturned the change. Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra andsaid, (in Hindi, of course),''Since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened to themall and let me tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste. Still, Idon't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see theworld. 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 asingle Sardar begging on the streets of Delhi."Friends, we all love sardar jokes. But the fact of matter is that Sikhs areone of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world. Thesecret behind their universal success, according to me, is theirwillingness 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.
