Introduction to Sardar Jokes ~
Sardar, is a Persian word which tends to be used for military or political leaders because the roots of the word mean commander, perhaps comparable to the English word, chieftain. In Pakistan, for example, the leaders of certain tribes have the title Sardar something, something.
However, sometimes in India, the Punjabi and Hindi, Sardar, is used derogatorily and he is considered as an "idiot" and the butt of many jokes perhaps rather in the same way as "blondes". Nobody takes it seriously; it's like the fun-making attitude of say, Americans towards the Canadians; the English towards the Irish or the Scots. The Welsh towards the English. Elsewhere we find that "Poms" (British people) are the butt of Australian jokes. Belgians fall foul of the French; while The German deprecate the Dutch in their humour. So I sure hope nobody takes offence re. the following; just giggles.
