카지노's Rani Jana discusses the recent controversy surrounding comedian Kunal Kamra in a conversation with Shahrukh Alam, a Supreme Court lawyer, researcher, and social activist.
Alam emphasizes, “The problem with hate speech is not that it is causing offence, but that it’s causing material and systemic discrimination.”
She also discusses where we draw the line between comedy and offence, and if Kunal’s comedy should really be considered offensive.
As she navigates the complexities of free speech, she also points out that if somebody on the margins is attacking somebody in power, that’s a very different nature of speech, even if it’s offensive.
