Sardarji joke

Sardarji jokes or Sardar jokes are a class of religious jokes based on stereotypes of Sikhs (who use the title of "Sardar", with -ji being an honorific). Although jokes about other religious, ethnic and linguistic communities are found in various regions of India, Sardarji jokes are the most widely circulated religious jokes and found across the country.^[1] Sardarji jokes are generally considered tasteless and inappropriate by members of the Sikh community, and have elicited protests as well as leading to arrests for hurting religious sentiments.^[1]^[2]
