As per the latest developments on WhatsApp, India's
leading rumour news broadcasting service, the corners in various commercial
complexes and Government buildings in India have been declared as UNESCO World
Heritage Sites. This was confirmed when this reporter received a message that
read "Good News! All the corners in the commercial complexes and
Government buildings in India have been declared as UNESCO World Heritage Sites
for their unique red coloured spit patterns. Proud to be an Indian! Pass on the
message if you truly love your country!"

Pandu Hawaldar (name changed for no particular reason), a security guard at
National Bank of India seemed visibly elated. "I am proud that my efforts
have finally borne fruits. I have been spitting all over this place for years
creating various unique patterns, but no one ever noticed. This news however is
a testimony to the contributions that I and others like me have made to
this country. Achchhe din are finally
here. I would like to thank Manikchand and Goa for making this possible. Now I
can retire happily”.
When asked about the importance of this news, Mr. Puranik, an official
of Archaeological Survey of India said, “This is really great! The heritage of
our country is finally being recognized at a global level. We have been
preserving this art for many years. It is worth noticing that there are
millions of such spit patterns and each pattern is unique. The 1444 unique
pillars of Ranakpur temple in
Rajasthan seem nothing in comparison to this. We are planning to hold workshops
to educate people about various ways of spitting so that this art is not lost
to modernisation”.
“This is a sign of Unity in Diversity and Communal Harmony that our
Government has been working on for past 60 years. People from all strata including
the rich and poor, businessmen and farmers, Hindus, Muslims and Dalits,
everyone has participated in this. But the current ruling party is trying to
destroy this rich heritage in the name of Swachh
Bharat Abhiyaan. The installation of photos of various Gods and Goddesses at many
such corners in the name of cleanliness is actually a plot to promote Hinduism
and divide the nation on communal lines”, said an angry senior member of the
opposition party on condition of anonymity.
Taking cue from this development, various municipal corporations in India
were contemplating to suggest the pothole ridden roads for the World Heritage
tag. “Even we have preserved the pot holes for ages. Why should they not be
considered? We have to hurry up before the Government destroys them in the name
of development”, said a municipal commissioner of a metro city, with a hint of
urgency.
Meanwhile, no UNESCO officials were available for comments. But this is insignificant as WhatsApp has been officially accepted as a credible source of information.
