About the Book:
The biggest Joke of recent years is that in a nation as humourless as us Indians, joke books sell like hot Pakoras. This is the sixth compilation of jokes published by Orient Paperbacks. Every one of the earlier books in the series has gone into more than a dozen reprints. They are to be seen on pavement, railway station and airport book stalls as well as book stores extending from Murree (Pakistan) to Chittagong (Bangladesh). Not many people know me as a novelist, writer of short stories, a historian of the Sikhs or translator from Urdu to English but as a compiler of Jokes. No one takes me seriously; I am a joker. Wherever I happen to be, men and women cluster round me and demand, 'Koi Joke-Shoke ho jai' — tell us the latest joke.
