"English of an I.A.S. officer" joke

This relates to an I. A. S. officer who could read, write and even speak English. He once gave a' very good' report of his subordinate officer, writing in his Confidential Report that the officer' hardly works'. It was only after the officers' representation that the reporting officer clarified that he meant the officer was hardworking. When the same officer once went to inspect a B. S. F. picket on Gurdaspur border, he made these brief remarks on the Visitors' Book: "Jawans are healthy, horses are happy, I am glad." Interestingly, when a foreign dignitary was being shown round his residence, our English-speaking officer took the dignitary to the back of his house, saying, "These are my private parts."
