Three friends, a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh, all great
admirers of Bir Bajrang Bali were hotly arguing about what
community Hanumanji belonged to. The Hindu was outraged by their claims:
"How could Hanuman possibly be a Muslim?" he demanded.
His Muslim friend replied: "We have Ahsan, Rehman, Sulaiman and many
other Muslim names ending with aan. Hanuman could well have been
one such name."
"And you Sardarji," said the Hindu aggressively "Sikhism
came into being a thousand years after the Ramayana. How can you
say Hanuman was a Sikh?"
"Quite clearly Hanuman was a Sikh," replied the Surd.
"Here we have someone who does not know the lady who has been
abducted, and he has no enmity towards the abductor. Neverthless
he sets his own tail on fire and burns up not just the enemy's palace, but
a whole city. Who else would do such a thing except a Sardar??!"
