Disclaimer - I admit I use stereotypes and generalisations to tell jokes. Southern India, has a rich history of dynasties and empires which were known for their military might – the Pandya, Chera and Chola dynasties ruled until the end of the 15th century. The Chalukya’s in the 6th – 9th century AD, The Rashtrakutas in the 7th – 9th century AD, Hoysalas in the 10th – 13th century AD and the mighty Vijayanagar Empire from the 14th – 16th century AD. None of these empires would have lasted had they not been strong militarily and strategically. Some like the Cholas, even undertook military campaigns across oceans including Sri Lanka, Maldives and Malaysia.

However, Southern Indian states (specifically Tamil Nadu) have been far less affected by raids, conquests and attempts to control them compared to what North and Western India (Gangetic belt) had to endure, and this includes the campaigns from Mughal dynasties and the India-Pakistan partition. So for the sake of the joke, I was attributing the stereotype that South Indians (Tamil people in this case) are laid back due to our significantly less violent recent history. Reality and History is far too complex to succinctly capture in a joke. But of course, I'll be mindful in the future.

An Indian Comedian from Kenya, schooled in Tamil Nadu, doing comedy with British Accent about being called Canadian at School and comparing with Punjabis and She is really a RULER for a reason.❤❤❤❤😂😂 #putthetavavarga❤❤ #thottaottikam❤❤

Every joke, it's delivery, so brilliantly written and delivered. Girl not only burning the stereotypes abt female comedians, but she's far far better than many males too!

[nayyhaaa]

The former prime minister one was brilliant 😅

[ASpaced]

Bro tapping into her dark humor. Soo hilarious. 😂 Don't give up on stand up, we need performers like you!! Can't wait for more content!

I'm so sorry that you suffer discrimination for your skin tone. I'm Portuguese and in my country it's considered more beautiful to be tanned. When I was a teenager I got myself burned in the sun a lot trying to get my skin darker until I decided to accept that I am just milky white and I embraced it. I love the dark -skinned Indians, I find the color so beautiful. In the past I had a partner from Karnataka and he is gorgeous.

2:27 This joke was out of the blue and made me laugh out loud😂❤

[the_good_citizen]

Youre funny, but so real too. As a dark skinned North Indian, I have faced the heat from my relatives all my life. My fair skinned cousins were always considered better looking.

[HeyCoachBarbara]

I live in a predominantly Indian community here in Atlanta, Georgia and this is very insightful.

[madhurisardar]

Love the Statement
“Back in the Days .. We Used to have a Former
Prime Minister “😉😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

[paridhi]

Long form format is so much better ! I think your comedy suffers in short form which I think is the greatest compliment in world of clickbait ❤

[nivprakasam]
