Gandhiji and the God

God asked Lal Bahadur Shastri how many children he had during his time on earth.
He replied, “I had three!”
God was very Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted.
God gave Shastri a Mercedes!

Subhash Chandra Bose was asked the same question.
When he replied that he had 10 children
God was a bit upset and gave him a cheaper car, the Ford.

The next is Jawaharlal. He decided to see what happens if he says he had 15 children.
God is pretty angry and gives him an inexpensive Maruti.

After Sometime, the three saw Mahatma Gandhi returning on foot.
They ask why God hadn’t given him anything
Gandhiji replied with anger,
“Some idiot told God that I was the father of a nation!“

The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then.'

The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech. 'And they say Kashmir belongs to them"
