Hmm… the Sardaar in our context is not Pawan Kalyan ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ but the subject is about Sadaar community and jokes generally we see in the form of SMS and on internet making fun of Sikhs. Supreme Court of India has taken this case of offending a community and examined the plea to ban jokes on Sikhs. If needed, there will be an appeal for prohibition too.
A Sikh lawyer named Harvinder Chowdary raised a PIL in Supreme Court seeking for a total ban on such jokes. She felt that such jokes are an attack on dignity of their community and violate their fundamental right of ‘Right to Equality.’ Chief Justice TS Thakur reacted on the case saying, ‘If we think that your community does feel bad about it, we will definitely seriously consider it.’
There is a strong demand from Sikh community requesting the Government to remove Sardaar jokes from internet and also provide necessary filters to prevent in spreading of such jokes again in future. Delhi Sikh Gurduwara Management Committee is also reported to have hired top most Lawyer Ram Jethmalani in dealing with the case. They have taken the things seriously folks… no more jokes on Sardaar.
