POLICY JOKE OF THE WEEK

Law and policy are considered to be domains of stony-faced Policy- and law-makers whose goal is to enable the most efficient methods of governance. Analysis of public policy and various positive and negative attributes of governance too happen in a space where humour takes a backseat.


Therefore, we have decided to carry out an experiment where we would devise a Policy Joke of the week. The underlying intention is not only to foster a sense of humour within public policy debates but to also convey a message about the various issues plaguing our governance and society.


To ensure that our ‘jokes’ adhere to certain minimum standards, the following must be kept in mind before submitting one:
1. Our idea is not to insult any person, policy or institution.
2. The jokes must not be offensive or carry derogatory or defamatory language.
3. The jokes, as mentioned, must be meaningful, that is, it should ideally carry a message.
4. We prefer jokes with a positive note, rather than pure criticism.
5. Any submission should ideally be a two-liner, and a maximum of four sentences will be allowed.


We advise you to follow our “Policy Joke of the week” space on social media for a better understanding of the nature of gags, puns and quips we prefer. Our posts will appear on our social media pages. You may find the links below.


The decision of our editorial team on whether to accept or reject your submission, subject to aforementioned standards, shall be final. You can forward your submission to  theindianmanifesto@gmail.com (Kindly do not post articles to this address)


Make sure you have submitted your name, institutional affiliation (if any) and current location (city and state) along with your email. You can also send us your Twitter handle, Facebook profile name and Instagram handle if you want us to tag you on our post.


Note:
1. If your submission is accepted, you will be notified within 48 hours. Full credits shall be given to contributors for their work/contributions.
2. Currently, we have decided to accept ‘jokes’ concerning law, policy and governance only, but feel free to submit on any social, cultural or ethical issue which you feel is important. We may consider to create a standalone post per your submission or join them along with our “Policy Joke of the week” post.
