đĽ The supreme court Just Slammed the Brakes on Insensitive Comedy! đĽ
Indiaâs highest court has spoken loud and clearâmocking disabilities is NOT comedy, itâs cruelty.
Justice Suryakantâs fiery words cut through the noise:
đ âThis is not freedom of speech. You cannot hurt the sentiment of others.â
đ âYour apology in court is not enough. Post it on social media where you mocked people in the first place!â
This isnât about silencing comedians. Itâs about drawing a bold line between humour and humiliation.
⥠Remember how Munawar Faruqui was dragged into controversy for alleged religious jokes?
⥠Or how Tanmay Bhatâs Snapchat filter video mocking lata mangeshkar and sachin tendulkar caused nationwide outrage?
⥠Even AIBâs roast with Ranveer & arjun was pulled up because âentertainmentâ crossed into âinsult.â
The lesson is simple: freedom of expression isnât a license to demean.
And now, the supreme court is asking the Centre to frame guidelines for social media influencers and comedians.
đ No more cheap laughs at someone elseâs pain.
đ No more âlikesâ at the cost of dignity.
This is a golden opportunity to set a global standard:
Comedy that uplifts, not humiliates.
Influence that inspires, not insults.
Content that unites, not divides.
đĽ Today, india tells the world:
Humanity is above hashtags.
Respect is bigger than reach.
And dignity will always trend higher than insensitivity.
Jai Hind to integrity over insult! đ
