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 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 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 at that time.'
The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made
that
clear, I will begin my speech.'
