Who Started The Sardarji Jokes?

[cool water]

why was it acceptable to tell anti-sikh jokes in india? Why arent their jokes on hindu's who are the majority, why not on muslims who are the 2nd largest community in india. Why have sardars as a whole been singled out and mocked. I dont see any anti-hindu or anti-muslim or anti-chrisitian jokes being circulated around the net by indians. So why is it acceptable for them to abuse Sikhs in such manor, how can indian sikhs tolerate such racist jokes by other communities of India?

My brother, are you saying you WANT to see insults towards Hindus or Muslims? Who cares about those who feel the need to insult others to make themselves feel good, sticks and stones my friend. If "they" choose to take it a step further, and try to use violence towards us, it would be a LOT different. Hence Gatka, and our Kirpans. We are aware that there is unjust within the world.

It seems the insults that happen towards religions seem to be pretty equal in terms of which religions they are directed at. What I mean is, all religions seem to receive equal "insults" and time in the "negative limelight."

how convenient to use Kushwant Singh as an example of a Sikh when he claims to be an athiest.

I just read the Wikipedia entry about Kushwant Singh and am now looking up more about him, one thing that stuck out in his Wikipedia page was how during the partition days (In India) he was driving down a baron road. He came across a jeep full of young Singh that were boasting about just slaughtering a whole village of Muslims.

No there should be no insulting jokes on any religion that is my point, how and when did it become acceptable for Indian hindu and muslims to make "sardarji" jokes. I'm sure they wouldnt take too kindly if jokes were made about their community and circulated everywhere, so why the indian hindus and muslims feel its acceptable to make jokes about sardars and the Sikh community as a whole. Thats my question.

Stop Asking questions , questions will arose more qestions nothing else . The answer is hindus and muslims dont like us . They hate our turbans our beards . Hindus will never accept our view, they even dont recognise our relegion . They hate our turbans so start wearing bigger turbans. BrAke hindus society rules like all the superticious in whch they beleive like karva chauth etc. WE SIKHS ARE THE SECOND MOST HATED COMMUNITY IN INDIA . Its so difficult for sikhs to get rented house in places like delhi , u know why ? they hate our sikhi swaroopp .
