The goal of political satire in Indian media

Abstract

Our perception of humour has been altered by political satire. It would be true to claim that genuine journalism is less visible on successful news channels—also referred to as the fourth pillar of democracy—and more prevalent in stand-up comedians. With all of the needless yelling, screaming, and meaningless/baseless arguments, journalism has become a joke. Memes, stand-up comedies, and sitcoms have found a home on digital platforms. These content types have not only provided audiences with visual entertainment but have also had an impact on the daily lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds. The rise of political comedy on the internet has altered public perception of politics. The political satire of today disproves this notion through the use of memes, stand-up comedy, and situational comedy. This essay defines "enterprise Hindutva" as a mediation version of Hindu nationalism that has been influenced by social media's capabilities and the cultural norms that surround it in metropolitan India. Business Hindutva is able to reason, freely choose experiences, and collaborate with inconsistencies. It resides in the spectrum that is intended to be the ideological project.
