I
wonder how many of you know Kunal Kamra. For the uninitiated, let me give you a
brief description. Kunal Kamra professes to be a stand-up comedian. He indulges
in a kind of Stand-up Comedy where he goes on stage and manages to get laughs
by way of using blatant abuses and vulgar conversations. Apart from indulging
in vulgar Comedy, Kunal Kamra is also a part-time politician. He hates Narendra
Modi and has gone public with his hatred for him many times. He uses his stand-up
comic routines to spew hatred on Modi and his followers. He is a favourite
among communists and other Anti-National elements. They often use Kunal Kamra’s
jokes and video clips to demean Modi’s followers.
These days, Kunal Kamra’s political activism has increased
manifold. He uses Twitter and other means of Social Media to demonstrate how
the Modi government has wrongly revoked Article 370 in Kashmir and how the
introduction of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is bad for India and its
citizens. Apart from these, he also tries to rant against Narendra Modi on any
and all topics that he can find. While it is a good thing that Kunal Kamra is
trying to educate the youth and the masses by ranting against the Prime
Minister, the company he keeps is definitely worth questioning and looking
into. Kunal Kamra has, by his association with his fellow stand-up comics –
Tanmay Bhatt, Gursimran Khamba, Utsav Chakravarti, Aditi Mittal learnt how to
use comedy as a tool to promote fake propaganda and incite Anti – National
Sentiments. These four comics are associated with a rogue comedy group All
India Bakchod or AIB, known for their satirical videos and a very vulgar roast
involving celebrities like Karan Johar, Ranvir Singh and Arjun Kapoor. The
group has disbanded after being embroiled in the controversial #MeToo Movement.
#MeToo Movement was a huge sensation in 2018, where a lot of
celebrities and even ordinary women came out and exposed the male fraternity in
the industry of sexual exploitation. During that time AIB was in limelight for
all the wrong reasons, as their own colleagues and employees accused the main
founder of the group of sexism and harassment and creating a vulgar and tense
environment for women employees at work. The above-mentioned comedians were all
part of the same group. Loads of incriminatory materials about how they
exploited women are available online.
Kunal Kamra has also collaborated with AIB and has earned a
lot of fame from them as well. He was well aware of what was going on with AIB
and how their founders were involved in sexual exploitation. However, Kamra did
not let anyone know about this exploitation, including the authorities. He
indirectly condoned such shameful behaviour by the founders of AIB. In fact, he
continued his association with AIB as long as it kept bringing him fame and
fortune.
Kunal Kamra first fell in trouble when AIB’s name started
erupting during the #MeToo Scandal. The word got out that Kunal Kamra was well
aware of what was going on at AIB and how the founders were systematically
exploiting the women employees. He claimed that he admonished the founders of
AIB. The communist sections of the media lapped this up and made him their hero
again as well as claimed that he was a champion of women rights. Practically
he did nothing to dissuade them, stop them or even report them to the
authorities. And then he twisted the facts to become a HERO for the leftist
media. Therefore one has to understand that he is a master at doctoring facts
and spinning them to suit his narrative.
Therefore, Kunal Kamra may be a good comedian – even that is
debatable, I don’t find vulgar jokes and abuses funny, but he cannot be given
the benefit of doubt when it comes to his character. He just cannot claim the
moral high ground, especially when he has condoned sexual harassment just for a
few followers and cash.
