Humour – Indian hell

A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country.
He goes to the German hell and asks, “What do they do here?
He was told, “First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day.”
The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on and checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more countries… He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell…
Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, What do they do here?”
He was told, “First they put you in an electric chair for an hour..Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Indian devil comes and beats you for the rest of the day.”
“But that is exactly the same as all the other hells—so why are so many people waiting to get in here?” asked the man.
Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed and the Indian devil is a former Govt. servant, so he comes in and signs the register and then goes to the canteen!

wonder why the only joke on an Indian site is against India?
.. is it because culturally we are so advanced that we can actually crack jokes about ourselves without being scared of racism watchdogs? … i think it is that…
i truly believe that this is the case.. had we had the same joke here on say a Pakistan, their polity would go on an over drive to blame India for it. USA would stop everything they are doing and start taking a joke seriously enough for their Secretary of State to have a press briefing on the matter.
Had the joke been on USA, the state would have gone on an over drive and a few bomb shells (real ones that kill people) would have dropped on the heads of some Afghanisthan hills, killing and maiming people who have never heard of the internet.
The fun is right here. The fun is in India being India – the real democracy, the real heaven of tolerance and bonhomie.
Hi Arnab,
Either we are liberal as you say or we are too lethargic to even bother!
Hey Madhav, your website is great but probably needs to be expanded more & needs a bit more marketing. Would be great if you would invite people to submit their own posts/articles on this website. Cheers & all the best.
