Do We Indians have a Sense Of Humour - NO

No and most emphatically NO. We Indians do not have any thing even most remotely connected to Humour if it concerns us. If we have to pull legs and make fun of other people we take part in the whole process most enthusiastically, but when the shoe is on our feet we cannot bear its bite.

The worst people who cannot tolerate any fun making at their expense are the ones with a elephantine ego and those are naturally our esteemed politicians.

Say one word if only in jest against this section and be ready to bear the consequences. Poor Shashi Tharoor being a minister himself one would had thought he would have at least imbibed some of the qualities of Politicians the top most being never ever make fun of them. Being a man of words and computer savvy also was his undoing. Now he is ready to abjectly apologise to every one who is any one in the political arena for his cattle and holy cows.

Remember Shekhar Suman he went ahead with gusto tearing Laloo Prasad Yadav’s personality traits to shreds making fun of his way of talking, walking and every thing else. Did Laloo took it sportingly not at all he retaliated in his rustic manner and ultimately it became a slanging match with no boundaries or levels.

Raju Srivastava the very popular stand up comedian was recently pushed from the stage at the Rajeev Gandhi awards in Mumbai by music composer Vishal Dadlani because as per Raju, Vishal was feeling insecure as he was stealing his limelight.

Even restaurateur A D Singh asked the organisers of an NGO event to get Raju off the stage as he was spoiling the party. Now every one knows that Raju is expert at pulling legs especially Indian legs.
Well, that is obviously not acceptable at all.

Not only this, there were some incidents recently, where these people did not even hesitate to hit the other person. Tolerance level is Zero in our great politicians.

I don't know about others, but i find Raju Shrivastav quite irritating actually. I don't know why but i can't stand his acts. Don't even find them funny. I think the guy was right that he was spoiling the party...

When its about laughing at others or helpless people, we stand first. And when similar thing happens with us, we can't bear it. That's how Indians are.

Sense of humor! I'm afraid Mr. Tharror's tweet could lead to his job resignation as well. People have a habit of overreacting here.

Not only Indians but every human being has some sense of humour.The only difference with Indians is that we try to go outsmart the others, we try to overplay and overact just in order to go ahead of others,or earn money or create a name, either right or wrong way.This urge leads us to make fun of others or do some cheap acts.

What shall I understand by your jugglery of words that Indians have no sense of humour. For me the humour has saved my life from my serious health disaster. I am most known humourist. We have humour club in Chennai. There are different chapters. Humour Club meets every Sunday in different parts inviting the prominent VIPs in to preside. There is annual fete too running whole day with fun and frolic,an annual function with families gathered.
The Sasi Tharoor matter is not humour but derision or mockery on econimisation. The words like cattle and Holy cows are not humour in spoken in lighter veins. One should discriminate what is humour and what causes a contemptuous laughter.

Once George Bernard Shaw’s wife said,”Dear I am beautiful and pregnant. You are an intellectual giant. I wish our baby will be so beautiful like me and so intelligent like you” Shaw quipped,”Listen Darling. May God save,the infant should not have your intelligence and my beauty!!”

This is what you have written in your profile: My wife will not write like this.She will write ”I am (a) home maker,married,and have a teen aged boy.

How can you marry to a husband?
Once married,the man becomes obviously a husband whether you say it or not.

Veenaji,Please correct your profile. I noticed it long back. I wished to bring to your notice. You have given me chance to differentiate what is humour and what is mock and taunt. What Sasi Tharoor has given is not humour but a mock and taunt. You are my sister. I should do something good to my sister.
