The questions are okay but one may get tired of repeatedly answering the same. Once I used spectacles. Now I don't. My colleagues in office repeatedly asked me why I was wearing glasses. I replied one or two colleagues. Then I just wrote on a sheet of paper- "I have put on glasses to remove tension in my eyes." . This saved me more enquiries.

I guess people are the same anywhere and un to certain types....This is something many of us experience ! people ask the same questions when you go to a wedding or a function or at your work place ! They make sure that you never have a chance to forget and move on if you have had a tragedy in your life !
I know all these questions are real but one is more than real. In Australia people from All other Asian countries are called Asians but people from India, pakistan, Shri lanka and Bangla Desh are called Indians.
In a way one can identify with that since all the countries were part of the Indian sub continent and Westerners , even Australians tend to still think that way....
I can understand, if a foreigner asks such questions. Pity is our Indians ask such questions. Even today many ask me, "Are you a Madrasi?". For such people, South of Vindhyas is Madras. And the language they speak is, "Andrum Mandrum."TN and AP was one state probably under Madras presidency and now AP is going to be bifurcated, cabinet okays with ten districts to Telengana,

The point is not about bifurcation of AP. yes, before the states reorganization , A part of Andhra was In the then Madras presidency.

I have been to Bangkok few years ago. The guide asked us if we are from Kerala. Many foreigners think that South Indians have passion to tour abroad. They ask many such questions about India and its culture.

See every one from North is Bhaiyya in west, same is the case with people from south, even if Madras no longer exists on papers, but all south Indians are Madrasi for them. Before knowing their actual state, they believe a South Indian is a Madrasi and that is no big deal. We all do the same mistakes, every white skinned guy is an ANGREZ for us.

Yes, it's no big deal. It's about our own people. So for a foreigner it's ok if he or she asks a question, " do you go to the office by an elephant"?Anyhow, the thread is in humor and jokes.
The link is quite hilarious and it is obviously done as joke, I liked the number 11 the best, I wish I was asked this question whether I was a Dot Indian or a Feather Indian!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
But seriously, people out there still think that we can see tigers and lions daily in our lives like they see cats and dogs! :whistle:

If the foreigners want to know it, it's none of their fault - now look at this one -
A Sikh while having his dinner in a European country was approached by a local
Are you from Iran?
No, from India
Are you Muslim?
No, I am Sikh
Gosh- would you want me to call a doctor - or you able to visit a doctor on your own?

This proves that humanity comes later. Caste and religion comes first.

Marvelous .a similar one about our flying Sikh.
After a strenuous morning jogging, Milkha was relaxing just by the sde of the track.A foreign correspondent asked, "are you Milkha Singh?"
"no, I'm relaxing."

No, I did not mean a joke but most foreigners are not much aware about India and Indians. They still consider us snake charmers and people who live on dancing monkeys on the roads. The particular person never knew that Sikhs was a religion but he took it for SICK.

True. I could follow what you said. The foreigner thought that sardar was Sick. These howlers are committed by both sides, creating a funny situation .
If you were to ask an average Indian , he too would probably as or more ignorant about say a Hungarian or a Korean...So, this is somethig that has to be accepted ! The funniest part is that while abroad Pakistanis are happy to be called Indians because of the image they have developed over the years..

I would be really happy if it was true in practical. But politics did nothing except spreading the hatred.

May be true. Politicians from both sides knowingly create rifts and hatred for their own survival. Politicians thrive on controversies.
