TMC was funded by Bangladesh. Mamata was muslim

Dhurandhar 4
ISI was selling gold to fund terrorism. Modi broke their back by asking Indians to not buy gold

Dhurandhar 5
Pakistani agents planned to become doctors in India. Modi spoiled their plan by canceling NEET

[Mr Sharma @sharma_views]

THIS IS ABSOLUTE BELT TREATMENT 🔥

ARNAB: Anyone opposing this appeal is anti-national.

PRIYANKA 🎯: Stop misleading your viewers. Asking what the government will sacrifice is not anti-national.

ARNAB: Don’t buy gold for one year. Nothing will happen.

PRIYANKA 🔥: Only 1% can travel abroad. Only 1% can buy gold. Citizens get lectures while Modi gets roadshows with massive convoys.

ARNAB: This is for national interest.

PRIYANKA ⚡: Then lead from the front. Don’t preach sacrifice to people while enjoying spectacle yourself.

“Slavery does not merely mean a legalised form of subjection.
It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct.”

- Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar

"There is no space for political humour. If you want to do political humour, please continue the other sort of humour that is acceptable to society, about how loud Punjabi weddings are, about how good industrialists Gujarati people are. It’s about how amazing this community is at that. Otherwise, you can go in the past and mix facts with fiction and just create any content, and it will be acceptable. Go celebrate the past, present a better future and ignore the present. You will be a great artist in this country, and these are the artists the country deserves also. They both deserve each other."

Kunal Kamra speaks about how he negotiates the various controversies he has faced during the tenure of the Narendra Modi government. Read the entire interview from May 2025 by @shahidtantray:

I am so proud to say that I belong to the generation of Kamra. Otherwise there is so little to be proud of living in this current world.

Once you get free from threatening Artists, take some time out & read this…

[Abhinandan Sekhri @AbhinandanSekhr]

Kunal Kamra is the storyteller, commentator, stand up artist we need. Many of the others are cute, but they're irrelevant as commentators. It's why he was and remains the funniest and best by far.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell on Al Jazeera. The US and Israel have deliberately bombed over 30 universities across Iran, assassinating professors in their homes and massacring over 60 students. Washington is systematically trying to destroy Iranian scientific progress.

[Pravin Sawhney @PravinSawhney]

My observations:
1. Iran has won the WAR. Negotiations will be on Iran's 10 points framework for permanent peace.
2. Iran's terms will be accepted by Trump. Why? Will explain.
3. With this WAR, the hegemonic age is over: No followers, only partner nations. India will be the sole exception in the world.
4. Pakistan has emerged as more than a credible mediator - a geopolitical asset in the New World Order.
I will explain the above in my video to be online by today (Wednesday April 8) evening!

TRUMP: “The Iranians are animals. That’s why blowing up their bridges and power stations isn’t a war crime.”

I’m at loss for words.

It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran

The board that fired him? Replaced. The safety team that questioned his priorities? Dissolved. The nonprofit structure that was supposed to keep mission above profit? Restructured. The employees who wanted to speak out? Silenced — or bought out.

“Art should be apolitical” because the white man doesn’t have the power over the world anymore. He fears that artists will document his crimes - from slavery to ongoing genocides - and he will be exposed.

“Let’s keep cinema and politics separate” comes across as an order but it’s a plea. The white man is scared.

Standup Comedy thrived in India post 2004. Dr. Manmohan Singh was the key because:

1. The generation and social class that benefited from liberalisation of the 90s grew up to be the voice of the confident new India - demanding accountability and seeing sense of humor as an essential trait of social discourse.

2. Another result of liberalisation - mobile internet became a reality for a huge section of the middle/upper middle classes, giving new, uncensored platforms for a new form of art/humor.

3. His government - like all governments - was flawed, creating enough relatable material to go viral. And they did push back - like introducing the draconian IT Act Sec 66A late in the day.

But unlike many other governments of past and future - MMS didn’t practice brutal censorship or punitive action against humour/satire. The entire social media opposed the IT Act or the various acts of alleged corruption/inefficiency without being labelled anti-national or getting r*pe threats.

The artists - not just professional standup comedians but big film stars also - felt safe sharing jokes about the govt policies/PM/ministers.

A sense of freedom is the biggest incentive artists crave for - and the MMS govt provided that above anything else.

Thanks Dr. Saab.

These shows! Pure gems, all of them. I still think of the no extra chutney episode of Amravati ki Kathaayein, the most underrated of Shyam Babu’s TV shows.
