"Many sisters have written to me" joke

MY friend Onkar Singh who returned from Ahmedabad last week posed a question which I could not answer. "How is it that in Gujarat where every man is a bhai and every woman a ben and population keeps on increasing?
J. P. Singh Kaka has drawn my attention to the same kind of confusion that exists in the minds of some people. A bachelor on the look-out for a wife was advised by a friend to put in an ad in the matrimonial columns. He took the advice. A few weeks later his friends asked him if he had any luck. "Yes," replied the bachelor and added naively, "kaee bahnon kay to khat bhee aaye hain-many sisters have written to me."
