Got the following in an email …. An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.

A representative from India began:

‘Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named.

When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought,

‘What a good opportunity to have a bath.’

He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress,his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.

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

The Indian smiled and said,

” And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech saying that Kashmir has been an integral part of India all along.”
