Sonia Gandhi was addressing a vast rally in Amritsar with another Punjabi Congressman by her side. She said:
"India has the beauty of the East, brains of the South, will of the West and virility of the North. If we combine these, we can rule the world."
There was complete silence as none of the people there understood a word of all this. At this point the Punjabi congressman remarked to Sonia-ji,
"Madam, may I translate this so that the people can understand?"
Mrs Gandhi agreed.
He stood up to the mike and said,
"Madam Ji Kehndin Hain, Saade Desh De Kol, Bengal Di Phuddi Hai, Madras Di Budhhi Hai, Bumbai Da Mann Hai, Te Punjab Da Lunnd Hai. Agar Eh Saarian Cheezaan Mila Dittian Jaan, Ta Assi Saari Duniya Di Bund Maar Lawange!"
A thunderous standing ovation followed.
