    Being a Person from Bengal, India we grew up with how Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar , Henry Luis Vivian Derozio and others like them made enemies in the society but persisted with their conviction. Today , I do not think Vir Das as only a Comedian even though that is immensely important . I find him hitting the darkness in Indian society and the darkness in the world consistently through laughter. If I look at how many powerful celebrities in India, more powerful than Vir Das is doing it, the number is first very low and second not consistent. Vir is our modern day Rammohan Roy and Kailash Satyarthy with more popularity and name recognition, whose relentless reminders of the darkness in society will someday help change it as he has got the reach and willingness much broader than others. International Platforms line Netflix and KZread like Vir himself has acknowledged, much be credited for helping. Thank You!

    Vir YOU are a gem ! As a core true educated literate and rational citizen of India I would just like to say, I am extremely proud of you and your existence as a beautiful human being, as an Indian on global platform and as the epitome of how sensibility and wisdom looks when it gets translated into words. It gives me immense pleasure in seeing an Indian comic like you who is going around shattering so many preconceived notions and paving a way out in the world for many budding aspiring artists, inspiring them in the right direction and reaching your own heights of hard earned success with humility and gratitude. Thankyou for taking the onus of representing those handful Indians with your writing who aren’t recognised and appreciated in our country. I really hope that our country, the mindset of blindfolded people, wisdom and quality education increases here so that we can feel safe and free to express our unbiased opinions. Heartiest congratulations on winning EMMY for landing. The most well deserved. -By a young Indian (Student of class 12th)

    Such a great conversation between two top professionals. So good to see Vir crushing it, have been a fan and following his journey for way more than a decade now. Looking forward to attending a show whenever he comes to LA next and would even be happy to host him for a meal if he wants home cooked Indian food :) Hope you both keep going from strength to strength!

    It's only a supremely confident person who can laugh at themselves, or laugh with others when others are laughing at you. I fear that such people are a dying breed.

    A gentle and humble correction about how tough it is for Comics in India and outside India. In India, Vir is right it is getting tougher for Comics to crack jokes about what they like to create Jokes about. Not so much in the US. We do see Comedians like Bill Mahar of the Daily Show, Connan, and other late night show host Comedians crack jokes on anyone including powerful politicians at the state and national level, the US Supreme Court and taboo topics as well. No one has seen a Police complaints about them. First Amendment of the US constitution is Religion here.
