Justice Markandey Katju, in his commentary on the Indian sense of humor, recounts personal anecdotes where his attempts at humor led to significant backlash in Bihar and Odisha, but were well-received in regions like Nagaland, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh. His experiences illustrate a diversity in humor appreciation across India; some regions respond with understanding and laughter to satirical remarks, while others react with offense and protest. Katju advises caution in jest, suggesting that cultural nuances significantly influence the reception of humor, advocating for a region-specific approach to comedy in India’s diverse cultural landscape.
