Sometime after independence three great leaders of the country - Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lal Bahadur Shastri and Jawaharlal Nehru went to heaven. God asked Lal Bahadur Shastri how many children he had during his time on earth. He replied saying he had three! Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted, God gave Shastri a Mercedes!
Bose is asked the same question. When he replies he had 10 children, God is a bit upset and gives him a cheaper car, the Ford. Jawaharlal is next and on replying that he had 15 children, God is pretty angry and gives him an inexpensive Maruti.
Sometime later the three see Mahatma Gandhi returning on foot. They ask why God hadn't given him anything. Gandhiji replied with anger, 'Some idiot told God that I was the Father of the Nation!'
