In India we hold comedians to higher standards for jokes, than Politicians for the things THEY say AND do, and they aren't even joking.
Are you telling me that Indians in the middle of a pandemic with far greater problems are worried about JOKES on their religion? Rubbish.The whole thing is orchestrated, politically motivated & fuelled by regular people fooled by this.The online mob is large, vicious & organised.
How? Well,News Media is almost completely sold out.Few dare to publish the truth.Everyone is somehow busy defending Politicians.Comedians & Artists are the only people asking questions.This was the perfect opportunity to stifle free speech further, specifically,questioning govts.
Ironically,some of the comedians,now victims of their jokes & shady tweets from the past,contributed to the stifling of free speech & thought by not exercising enough restraint when posting online,& then apologising. Now everyone will want an apology for something or the other.
That said,when the mob jumps out from your phone,shows up at your door & you see people cheering this, what can you do ? All over JOKES & TWEETS. Yes, some maybe really unfunny, downright idiotic and not particularly insightful jokes.But still JOKES.Something is very wrong.
