सरदार और बंगाली

A Punjabi Sardar and a Bengali Babu were talking about their State's patriotichistory during the freedom struggle. The debate heated up and both ended up claimingthat their state had the maximum number of freedom fighters. They finally agreed on a method to find which of the states had more freedom fighters.Each person would say the name of a freedom fighter from his state and pull one hairout of his opponents head. Both of them began earnestly. "Bhagat Singh" said theSardar and pulled one hair from the Bengali. "Netaji" said the Bengali and did thesame. They continued like this for some time, but soon exhausted all known freedomfighters. The Bengali, however, was very clever. He used Sardar's ignorance andreeled off a lot of imaginary names. The Punjabi was stuck. He did not know any more Punjabi freedom fighter's name. Hethought deeply for a moment, jumped on the Bengali's head and pulled all his hair outshouting - "JallianWala Bagh".
