A Hindu-Muslim couple walked into a bar. Like it happens in the marriage   courts of India, the bartender told them that he cannot serve them if   they're from different religions. The one option that does exist: most   bartenders of the country don't even know about it; and under that the   bartender will first call the parents of the duo and find out if   they have any objection to these two having drinks together (!!). To avoid   all this, the quickest way for them to get to their drinks was by having one of   them converting into the other's religion. Even in that, converting one   way was easier than converting the other way. The couple picked the   easiest option, got their drinks, and when they walked out of the bar to go home, were   attacked by some local organization's members for committing Love Jihad. A vendor sitting across the street watching all of this, said to his friend, "Funny. How in the world does having some drinks together have anything at all to do with religion?"
