and she's the only one who played!!!! 
Her answer was:
"I think it's funny because he is singing in an Indian accent and it relates to Indian culture, for example when he talks about four harikrishnas. It's funny when he talks about two nosey in-laws because in Indian culture, when a couple get married, the in-laws are very nosey and want to know what the couple get up to! India is very advanced technologically, so they have many IT graduates."
To be comprehensive (which means to tell everything) we could add that there is also a mention of Bollywood (and a joke about Cow-Boys and Indians= native-americans) and the buttered chickens (which are very slippery because covered in butter) are an allusion to the famous Balti Butter chicken recipe.

The "insufficient" dowry is a reference to the money given by the in-laws when their daughter gets married.
The singer jokes at Indian names because they are very long, etc...
In a word, this song plays with all the clichés surrounding Indian culture in Great-Britain, but in an affectionate way.
Isn't his accent adorable? Yes, Holysnail, I'm thinking of you and your "accents"!
Therefore, congratulations to Paperplane (and shame on all the others, who didn't even try. Ok, next game will be easier!^^)
Thank you Mrs P! It's unfortunate that no one played but none the less I still won! hehehe
