Rajiv Gandhi Blog Post

When we received the following forward a couple of days back, we immediately decided to post it on our website, although it does not qualify as a joke. Going through the list below, we began wondering what stopped the govt. from naming India's new nuclear powered sub-marine INS Arihant ("Arihant" means destroyer of enemies) as INS Rajiv Gandhi.

While the indian govt. missed this golden opprtunity, we at PoorJokes.in have decided to show our eligence to the Nehru-Gandhi family by naming this blog post after "Rajiv Gandhi".
