Politics In India | Stand Up Comedy By Arnav Rao

2020 was a weird year for the world... we all thought we knew what we were getting into but damn were we surprised! This might just be an apt metaphor to describe this video, you think you know what you're getting into... but watch Arnav Rao try to navigate the weird things that happened to him in the year 2020...

    I'm not an atheist but seriously some of these so called religious people don't really know the teachings of their own religion they are more like trollers/ haters. Abusing, giving rape threats isn't something my religion teaches.

    Couldn't pass up the chance to tell everyone in the universe that you are an atheist? I can tell you're not a vegan, because I'm sure you would have announced that already, as if anyone cares about your stupid fringe ideologies. Atheists deny the existence of God so they can sin without guilt, but even a child knows that God exists. It's not until they're older and they have a greasy ponytail that they force atheism down everyone's throats. I took Evolutionism in university, but I remain unconvinced. I challenge you to list one piece of evidence which supports evolution, that doesn't actually prove God. I'll start first, with evidence for a common creator: homologous structures. My prediction: Atheist rage-quit when asked for evidence.

    Caste divide isn't restricted to our nation. If you had done some actual studying you'd have known that. Tell me how many kinds of Christians are there? How many kinds of sects are there in Islam? Why was a division in Jainism? Again... Answering any of these will mean that you'll have to work hard. And how can someone expect that from a person who performed this piece of trash? I wonder.

    Caste and religion are two different things. In india, caste system was created to divide jobs and duties among the society for it to function properly which later got corrupted. And caste system is not relevant in today's society because everyone can do whatever job they want to do. it's really just that.

    @@parulsingh3717 Caste is not the term ma'am. The term is Varna. Varna vyavastha. That is an aptitude system. Like how one takes an aptitude test to segment himself or herself in engineering or medicine or MBA and such. An example for you would be the adoption, education, empowerment and ascension to the throne of Chandragupta Maurya by Guru Chanakya (Acharya Vishnugupt). Chandragupt was a fisherman's nephew, whose uncle charged Chanakya an adoption fee because he was taking away his source of future income. Acharya Vishnugupt, impressed with the boy's logic and aptitude at the pretend game of kingship, envisioned a bright future for him. He adopted him and transformed him entirely to make history. Caste and religion are not rigid in the hands of the dutiful. The term caste bore meaning and relevance from the era of those who practiced divide and rule. It is still practiced by supremacists in smaller communities and villages to keep up their status. It's not practiced everywhere in India. You would know that from your own reply. Kudos to that. I have never practiced it nor has anyone in my Brahmin community. This man's perspective is self-involved and doesn't represent the millions of sensible people (such as ourselves) in India. Anyway, the white supremacy, racial divide is more so an evil because it surpasses religion and caste divide. And this bit is still too real, effectively applied and evident. Do read up on that. Nice chatting with you! 🙏🏻💐
