An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in theUnited Nations Assembly that made the world community smile...
A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want totell you something about a rishi named Kashyapa of Kashmir (Kashyapa,son of Marichi, son of Brahma), after whom Kashmir is named.
When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What agood 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 todress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.'
The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What areyou talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there at that time.'
The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have madethat clear, I will begin my speech.'"................And they say Kashmir belongs to them."
