Sometimes under the realms of joke and laughter, we tend to overlook the thin line between sarcasm and offense.

In a country like India , multiple linguistic organisations, caste, communities and religions tend to defy the fundamentals of secularism. But stereotyping culture is something that’s less severe in the sense its harmless in nature and prevalent in every sector.

We often tend to stereotype a Punjabi by his capacity to drink, or a Bengali for his love for fish or a Marwari for being a miser. This is a common aspect that provides a sense of pleasure and creates a jovial atmosphere condemning no culture. And social media plays a major role here. We are never tired of watching and saving memes on culture to our galleries. However, a group of people tend to get offended and raise their concerns against such activities. But sometimes under the realms of joke and laughter, we tend to overlook the thin line between sarcasm and offense.

Despite such trifles, we can never really ignore the grotesque realities of cultural identities causing major segregation, political splits to the extent of reorganisation of states.  The sad reality is that the political parties play a major role in articulating their bigoted goals by the virtue of their innocent preachers and deviate their minds towards violence and riots. Therefore, unity and integrity is of utmost importance because lack of unity makes us mere separated entities and that’s not what forms the base of Indian Constitution.
