Mass Harassment From Hindu Nationalists Forces Comedian to Quit

Date: 2021-12-07

Munawar Faruqui, an Indian stand-up comic, has been lately facing incessant trouble in finding a venue to host his shows. The owners of the venues where his shows are scheduled to be held have been frequently contacted by the police, advising them to cancel his performances due to threats they have received from right-wing extremists. Faruqui became a controversial figure at the beginning of 2021 when he was arrested for allegedly making jokes about Hindu deities. He has maintained his innocence, and the police were never able to produce any evidence of him “hurting religious sentiments” despite keeping him in jail for over 30 days. His performances have been canceled due to arson threats on the venues, threats of violence to audience members, pressure from local Hindutva groups, and even over 500 Hindus threatening to set themselves on fire if he was allowed to perform. Faruqui says he has been forced to cancel 12 shows within the past two months. After a recent show in Bangalore was canceled due to threats of venue vandalism, he announced his retirement via Twitter by saying, “My name is Manuwar Faruqui, and that has been my time. You guys were [a] wonderful audience. Goodbye! I’m done.”
