RW goons are being blamed for the Munawar faruqui situation, but the truth is that Indian liberals have to shoulder as much blame, if not more
Hello and Welcome to The Show!
Munawwar faruqui's show recently got cancelled, and he quit comedy again
In February 2021, too, he had given hints to quit comedy after his arrest
He quits comedy like in Hera Pheri, Akshay kumar threatened to leave the house
Obviously, there has been such a big loss in the comedy world, so its only fair that India’s secular intellectuals were so sad
We are sorry
Arf akhanum is blaming Hindutva lowlife cowards
Its true, Life is so much worse for Muslims in India
Kamlesh Tiwari's suffering has ended, but Munawar Faruqui has to suffer every day. whose situation is worse?
articles were written Calling it unconstitutional
A man whose party beat villagers and burn their houses for voting for another party
Is complaining about freedom of speech
its like AIB talking about feminism
but Reality is different
Chennai police can't even give protection to Muslim feminists in University
but DMK wants to support Munawwar’s FOE
Muslim feminists be like
First of all, let me say CATEGORICALLY, that I don’t agree with the decision to cause hooliganism around his shows
I don’t care what you think of Munawwar Faruqui, but to try to stop him from speaking and performing is wrong. If you don’t like his comedy, don’t watch
If you want to protest, stand across the road from his venue and protest
Until and unless Faruqui is calling for physical attacks on people, we do not have the right to stop him from speaking
The worst thing is, that by stopping them from speaking you give him more attention, more publicity
You are screaming and shouting outside while he is selling his tickets
Then the question immediately becomes: Should we be allowed to joke about the Godhra Massacre?
I may not like jokes on the Godhra massacre but we should be allowed to joke about it.
Comedians whose own families dies in 9/11 still make 9/11 jokes
Family guy who has many Jewish writers, actors and producers on the show, often make h0l0caust jokes
According to psychologists, An ability to laugh at rough moments can reduce the negative emotions surrounding a stressful event
Legendary comedian George Carlin said: “I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. ”
If it makes you laugh, it's comedy
Much like science, to evolve and improve comedy, we must push its boundaries constantly
All the great comics like Bill Burr, Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, George Carlin are considered great because they have pushed the boundaries of comedy
But we want boundaries on comedy
When we start drawing boundaries on comedy, we get people like Kunal Kamra and Vir Das, who only make cringe jokes on one topic. Modi is bad and India is bad
ISIS be like: but I am doing it for my religion, I am not secular!
Because there are boundaries around comedy in India, They are happy to make Hindu jokes and offend them
but will bend the knee for Archbishops
Do you think she can ever make such jokes about Muslim women?
This selective lecturing that we are seeing from our intellectuals
Where are these lectures for Kamlesh Tiwari, Theo Van Gogh, Charlie Hebdo, TJ Joseph whose hand was chopped
Imagine how Salman Rushdie and Ayaan Hirsi Ali have had to live for most of their lives
where is the support for them from our intellectuals?
This is a big reason why India doesn’t have free speech, because our intellectuals will never defend these people’s speech like they will support Munawwar’s speech
India’s blasphemy laws and curbs on FOE came because after the Rangeela Rasoon case
n which a Muslim man had published a book called Sita ka Chhinala, a book penned by a Muslim that claimed Lord Rama’s wife, Sita, was a prostitute
In response a Hindu publisher named Mahashe Rajpal published Rangeela Rasool, mocking the prophet
Nothing happened to the Muslim author but the Hindu publisher was murdered
Ambedkar was outraged at what was done to Rajpal;
andhi was outraged at what Rajpal did. “I am no defender of the author of Rangila Rasool,” said Gandhi
Instead of defending the right to publish Rangeela Rasool and Hindu FOE, Gandhi ,made sure law changed and many Indian intellectuals and liberals supported him
In came the dreaded IPC section 295a, calling for punishing those who “hurt religious sensibilities”, and India's free speech was ruined
Our intellectuals never support whenever a non-left person’s speech gets suppressed.
You can tell them that if you don’t like his jokes on Hindus and Hinduism, make jokes on Muslims and Islam. But They can’t do that.
There is no comparison between the response from the Hindu community to insults against them and a response by the scared community
Imagine the scene in PK where Aamir chases Shiva
Can any liberal intellectual honesty tell me that in India we can make a scene like that where Aamir Chases the Islamic Prophet?
The jokes bill burr makes about Jesus
Do you think in your wildest dreams, that any comedian in India can make such a joke about Prophet Mohammed?
And finally, I want to say something to liberals with whom I actually agree that we need more FOE in India
The thing is: The blame does fall on RW goons, but this is your creation. You want to stop What is happening to Munawwar in the future?
tell your breed to grow a pair and stop selective comedy.
Stop treating Islam and Christianity as sacred. Nothing is sacred in comedy.
RWs are mainly upset that their culture and religion can be made fun of but the same people will dare not speak about Islam, Quran or Prophet
Start standing up for the speech of everyone, start pushing the boundaries of comedy for all cultures, not just Hindus, and you will see that this problem will go away
y will we see an increase in the freedom of speech and better comedy
Do we really want the USA to produce Bill Burr and India to produce Vir das? This is our Aukaat?
