In recent years, a growing number of critics and commentators have begun to ask a provocative question: Is Indian society becoming a laughingstock because of Modi’s politics? From controversial policy decisions and rising communal tensions to global headlines that often spark ridicule rather than respect, the direction of India’s political landscape under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stirred intense debate—both at home and abroad.
Sweet Madness: When ‘Pak’ Became the Enemy

In Jaipur, a sweet shop renamed traditional treats: Moti Pak is now Moti Shri, Mysore Pak is Mysore Shri. Why? Because Pak “sounds like Pakistan.” Never mind that Pak actually means delicacy. This isn’t nationalism — it’s culinary paranoia.
Primetime Propaganda: TRPs Over Truth

Indian media has traded truth for theatrics. Anchors like Arnab Goswami and Sudhir Chaudhary aren’t reporting news — they’re waging verbal wars:
“Thok do!”
“Aag lagado!”
“Navi walo, Karachi pe golay barsao!”
These aren’t headlines — they’re war cries. Newsrooms have turned into battlegrounds. Noise wins, nuance dies.
During a recent program on Indian television, the Iranian Foreign Minister discussed in disrespectful manner when a retired major used derogatory language, reportedly calling him a “pig.”
The incident sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the lack of diplomatic courtesy and professionalism. Such behavior has been criticized as damaging to India’s international image and disrespectful to global diplomatic norms.
Javed Akhtar to Dhruv Rathee: Even the Sane Are Shifting


When Javed Akhtar says, “Even hell is better than Pakistan,” it stings — especially from someone once celebrated for speaking truth in Lahore, to applause. But in a climate of fear and fury, even voices of reason are bending.
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, once a rationalist hero, recently dropped a poorly researched hate video on Pakistan. It conveniently surfaced right when whispers of a ban on his channel started circulating. Coincidence — or compromise?
Bollywood & Cricket: Fuel to the Fire
From Kangana to Kajol, Akshay to Ganguly — celebrities are joining the jingoism bandwagon. Sports victories spark anti-Pakistan slogans. Films like URI, Kashmir Files, and Article 370 serve less as cinema, more as state-sponsored scripts. The entertainment industry has become an echo chamber of nationalism.
Comedians Jailed, Warmongers Celebrated

While comedians like Munawar Faruqui get jailed for jokes, TV generals and desk warriors call for bombs and blood on national broadcasts. Irony just left the building.
Conclusion: Laughing Bundle or Burning House?
India isn’t becoming stronger — it’s becoming louder. Renaming sweets, banning comedians, celebrating aggression — this is not patriotism. It’s performative rage wrapped in tricolor. The tragedy? It’s not just laughable — it’s dangerous.
