Most of the people who crack up such so called jokes believe that hijdas (eunuchs) are called gays in the West. And the only time they might have seen gays is on TV; Dolly or Karan Johar (probably). However, despite this lack of exposure to gay culture; Indian corporate workers are expert at spotting gays. If two males have been working on a project for a long time, they are gays. If someone is not married despite reaching marriageable age, he is gay. If two sales people were forced to share a hotel room because of cost control policies, they are gays
Shivaji comments on gay jokes in corporate India. Unfortunately, such prejudices are common even in non-corporate India.
