In a satirical work involving comedian Kunal Kamra, a satirical work against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh’s Cultural Wing (RSS) has passed a solution that has passed the resolution “reestimate Indian values ​​in Indian values.”

Sanskar Bharti, who aims to promote Indian art forms, expressed deep concern about the recent decline in performance and content of stand-up and other comedic forms. The resolution was adopted at the annual management meeting on April 11.

“The satirical story of folk traditions such as Theri Kutta, Tamasha, Jatra, Swang Bhaand, Nautanki, or the satirical style of contemporary literature, humor inspired the public and inspired the public to self-job search, dialogue, dialogue and improvement. In the current environment, modern media has launched new media. Over the years, a decline has been observed in the performance and content level of this medium,” the resolution said.

“A platform for mocking religion, national values”

It added that while this medium can be a tool for powerful social reform, it is actually becoming a contest for “fame shortcuts”.

“Stand-standing comedy is rapidly becoming a platform for indecent languages, religions, castes, gender insensitive and national values. Under the guise of freedom of speech, many artists have intentionally or unintentionally tried to mock religious symbols by mocking them, [engaging in] Sarcastic criticism of national heroes, or making fun of social practice. ” Sanskar Bharti said.

It condemned a standing comedy show that attempted to win laughter using abuse, sexuality, or public language. The RSS Culture Department warns that this trend weakens the sensitivity, tolerance and cultural respect for young audiences.
