MBTI Khap Panchayat

There is a huge social unrest sweeping the country today. It has got the people up in arms and angst. There have been riots across the country, with many State Governments struggling to enforce law and order.

As we know, the entire country is divided into a rigid system of khaps, which are based on an individual’s MBTI scores. There are 16 different khaps across the country as permitted by the MBTI scores. For generations, the khaps have strictly enforced 3 basic rules

1. A man cannot marry a woman from the same khap ie with the same MBTI score
2. A man cannot marry a woman with the same MBTI score as his mother
3. There shall be no social discrimination basis one’s khap or MBTI score

Lily Dholakia, renowned khap sociologist says, “The 3 khap rules of engagement were perfect. A couple with the same MBTI score getting together, was akin to inbreeding and would have begotten retarded children. Rule #2 reflects the total chauvinistic nature of society. If the woman and mother in law had the same MBTI score, the chances of them being best friends are very high, which could undermine the men in the family. Hence they never let bride-Mother in law with the same MBTI score come together.”

This time tested system has seen some recent challenges. Instances of same-khap marriages have increased among young couples. There has been an increase in young couples committing suicide.
One couple, Bunty and Bably Singh in their joint suicide note said, “Once the embers of young love, have fizzled out, we came to realize that we were basically married to mirror images of ourselves and we could neither stand ourselves and neither could we find solace in our partner. We do not want to live such wretched lives. This decision is entirely ours and not influenced by anyone else in our families or khaps and especially not by the group therapy sessions conducted by our khap panchayat”

After the recent recession, companies have begun to realize that they need to fire the bottom 10% employees in their companies. An arbit survey done by NASSCOM has come to the conclusion that ENFP employees form the bulk of these laid-off employees.


Sajani Singhania, a senior HR professional says, “ENFP are very employable people. Its easiest for them to find a job in the market. It also rests very lightly on our conscience, as we know they are going to be better off anyways. It really is a win-win situation” Responding, to this Kroor Singh, a senior INTJ khap leader, said, “If ENFP can have a firing quota, then we demand that INTJ people also be given a hiring quota. This will only restore the balance of fairness. This has a huge conflict potential, with all khaps possibly laying claims to various degress of quotas.

With these competing and controversial demands, the country is heading for tough times ahead. Only cricket or the Government can save us. But with the cricket team and IPL in shambles, as usual, we look to the Government of Pakistan to provide a suitably spectacular diversion so that people can be distracted from this controversy.
