Parting Jokes / Recent Jokes

This one comes from the Delhi University campus and is based on the two meanings of the Hindi word maang, which can mean both demand and the parting in the hair. The students of a girls' college took out a procession to protest against living conditions in their hostel. They divided themselves into two groups. One shouted' hamaaree mangey,' and the second lot replied,' pooree karo.' So they went round the campus yelling,' Give us our demands.'
The procession wound its way past a boys' college. The cheerleaders, shouted:' Hamaree mangey.' But before the second batch of girls could reply, the boys shouted back,' Sindoor se bharo (fill them with vermilion powder).'
If you don't get the joke, ask a Hindi speaking friend to explain.
