Do you think Indians in general have a sense of humour?Our culture is full of stories the witty person - think Tenalirama, Gopal Bhand, or Birbal. The theater forms have all had the comic as an integral part of the story. Indian cinema - Hindi as well as other Regional language cinema has also seen development of humor. Hence in a country of a billion people there is a healthy percentage of people who relish different shades of it. Humor is very situation specific and context specific. What you find funny as a ten year old may not be so when you are older. Some humor is specific to a region or social class. Each language has its own notion of humor as does each class of society. The breadth of humor one appreciates is a by product of the extent of exposure one has had to people who are different. As Indians have become more confident, we have learnt to laugh at ourselves. Only someone who is secure within can laugh at himself or herself. Self deprecating humor is reflective of a self assured person. I believe economic prosperity and exposure to a global environment have expanded the variety of jokes we laugh at today. You see more comedy shows on TV than we did a few years back. Youtube and the Net has given us access to more brands and flavors of humor. So as a country we are discovering the joys of a global fare.
