Sardarji jokes or Sardar jokes, are a class of jokes based on stereotypes of Sikhs (referred to as "Sardarjis"). Although jokes about several ethnic stereotypes are common in India, the Sardarji jokes are one of the most popular and widely circulated ethnic jokes in India and Pakistan. Sardarji jokes are generally considered tasteless and inappropriate by members of the Sikh community.
Famous quotes containing the word jokes:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
