Sensitive Indian & Assault on Sense of humour


The sensitive Indian has in the recent times proved to be the greatest threat to the Right to Freedom.As soon as you utter something which sounds remotely funny there is a group of sesitive people who take to the streets.The morons need not know the subject.They need not know the context.They are just sensitive .And since they are sensitive ofcourse they are hurt.And since they are hurt they are as well licensed to hurt and so they are out there on streets hurting everyone literally.
Slowly but surely our over sensitive Indian common man has made sure that whenever you utter a good joke you either end up in a court of law where lawyers will bore you to death or you cause a riot somewhere in some nook and corner of the country.
Everything is off limits.You cant joke about religion ,or caste or a region ,you can ofcourse not utter joke on race .Make sure jokes are not about Dalits or OBC.Only General category Jokes please.And if you think you can joke about your wife like Surendar Sharma better think twice. Humour is the most fatal weapon invented by husband to commit suicide.

It seems Sardars and Biharis are the last joke tolerant people left in the country.Kapil Sibal and company are gunning for you with the latest blasphemy laws which even the deobandis are refusing to own.You cant draw a cartoon of either Didi or Behenji or the Elephant.There is no way out .

The basic fault with Salman Rushdie in Satanic Verses is not blasphemy but humour ,which our sensitive Indian on both sides of debate were never able to figure out.Till date i have never heard a sane guy debate the fact that Satanic Verses was a novel which deals mostly about humour.The biggest joke was when people thought MF Hussains drawings of goddess Saraswati was some kind of Caricature.I pity the modern artists .How is he suppossed to explain that his work is different from what you see as morning paper cartoons. Its like Stepan Hawking trying to explain astronomy to our astrologer selling Nazar Shuraksha Yantra.

Its not that I dont pity the morning paper cartoonist.He is alwasys on the firing line of the sensitive Indian .Unless he is engaged in glorifying the sesitive common man.

I think we should revive the tradition of court jesters in the parliament if all other people are banned from hunour.Apart form increasing the TRP of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha TV he would also ensure better attendance of celibrities.Atleast there wont be walkouts till the jester has finished joking about a few issues.Quite a few of our aging parliamentarians need a good laugh atleast once a day since the rest of day they have to struggle with Hulk like angry Arnab Goswami , Karan Thapar , Rajdeep Sardessai and Barkha ofcource.Even Surendra Sharma had more smiles than these Hulk faced Anchors.

Hope some day we can keep the sensitive Indian in good humour inspite of our sense of our humour.This is the real laughter challenge.

Dude someone with as deadly sense of humour as yours will well recognise how difficult it is to deal with the sensitive people.
