Every on called royalty including Mysore one should realize India is a democracy. They are royalty only inside their own home. The only part of Dasara that belongs to them is the private darbar, which theh may conduct however they like. The rest belongs to the public.

Comedians are not supposed to make jokes at the expense of the weak because when they do, they become part of a bully gang. Hence, for example, that’s why we don’t joke about differently abled folks. And thus, you will make jokes about one language imposition rather than the usage of multiple languages. Anyway, Ayyo Paapa Shraddha should have known that if “mile sur mera tumhara” were created today. It would have been one nation, one language, and one *sur* song.

Why do fascists target schools, libraries, museums, theaters, movies, and books? Whether it’s India, the US, or Nazi Germany, it’s an important question to ask for us Indians.
