The joke “What do you call an Indian electrician? Ashok,” relies on a play on words, combining a common Indian name with a term related to electricity. “Ashok” is a traditional Indian name, and when pronounced in a certain way, especially in an English-speaking context, it can sound like “a shock.” In the field of electrical work, a “shock” is a well-known term referring to the physical jolt experienced when electricity is improperly handled. The humor is intended to arise from this wordplay, linking the electrician’s profession with a clever twist on a common name.
