00:00 At no point in the history of India were there so many comedians.
00:05 The share of comedians is steeply rising.
00:11 Why is that so?
00:12 Because that's the easiest, the laziest route to take.
00:17 Please understand, this is the age of mass production.
00:21 You have machines, you have technology, and technology is improving by the day.
00:25 The fellow who is owning and running the machine,
00:28 the corporation, the empire, out of his greed wants you to consume
00:32 because the production of the machine is of no use if there is nobody to buy it and consume it.
00:38 Therefore, a market has to be created equally swiftly.
00:43 And how do you create a market?
00:45 By turning people into consumers.
00:47 That's what comedy is doing.
00:49 It's destroying the sacred.
00:51 So that there is nothing holy, nothing worth worshipping left in your life,
00:56 nothing worth looking up to is left in your life.
