This Comedian’s FB Chat With A Threatening Bhakt Is Simply Gold

Stand-up comedian Saurav Ghosh was threatened by a troll for cracking a joke about Shivaji. Here’s how he responded.

In India, stand-up comedians seem to have it hard. No matter how careful they are, there will always be someone offended over a joke. And if the subject of ridicule happens to be someone’s role model (dead or alive), you are in for a serious round of trolling. One funny jibe on the wrong (or maybe the right) subject, and it can even earn you death threats. The argument of Free Speech won’t come to your rescue.
