Why everything comes from India

I am enlightened that everything comes from India after watching Goodness Gracious Me.
Here's some:

  • Superman is from India because only there can you run faster than a train, have two jobs at the same time, cannot take a day off from work, have a terrible haircut, and travel around in cheap flights.
  • The Queen of England is from India because she is a descendant of Queen Victoria, the empress of India. In fact ,the whole royal family is from India. The family business, the whole family living in the same house, arranged marriages, living with parents until marriage etc.
  • The English language is from India. We have words like verandah, bungalow, jungle, shampoo, thug, etc. If you think it's bullshit, that's very Indian too.
  • Almost everyone in the Bible is Indian. Feeding of 5 thousand with fish and bread? Sounds like an Indian picnic to me. Moses came down the mountain with two tablets. Reminds me of your Indian pharmacist. Samson lost his strngth because of his loss of hair. He sounds like a Sikh. Indian, right?
  • Leonardo da Vinci seems to paint Indian lifestyle. Look at the Last Supper. 13 men on the table. Where are the women? In the kitchen of course.
  • Picasso is Indian. His self portrait has an eye here, an ear there... Just like the streets of New Delhi.

The things you learn from GGM... If you take offence I sincerely apologise!
