Hanuman was a Jat !

At the height of the Ramayan on Indian TV days, a Bengali, a Madrassi and a Jat Sikh argue about ethnicity of Hanuman over a few bottles of country liquor. All were eager to claim this hero of mythology. The Bengali gives an unconvincing argument as does the Madrassi. So unconvincing that I don’t even remember the arguments. Finally the Jat Sikh proudly claimed that Hanuman was a Jat. Asked derisively how he came to that conclusion. He boasted: Kisse di janani, kisse ne chakki. Hanuman ne awdi pooch nu ugg ainwain hee la layi.
