India's residents also don’t appreciate crude humor or swearing and can be quite easily offended by such behavior. Therefore, comedy is very carefully approached in the country, as people who make jokes that tease communities or politicians risk punishment.

In 2024, the Guardian reported that stand-up comics are nervous about performing in some parts of the country out of fear of being charged with a crime. The anxiety stems from the time when comic Munawar Faruqui spent over a month in jail because he mentioned a Hindu god in one of his jokes. After his release, he had to cancel all his shows as Hindu nationalists threatened to disrupt them.

Similar things happened to other comics as well, one of them being Kunal Kamra, who said, “There is a growing culture of intolerance in this country, where taking offense is seen as a fundamental right and has been elevated to the status of a much-loved national indoor sport.”
