Disclaimer - I admit I use stereotypes and generalisations to tell jokes. Southern India, has a rich history of dynasties and empires which were known for their military might - the Pandya, Chera and Chola dynasties ruled until the end of the 15th century. The Chalukya’s in the 6th - 9th century AD, The Rashtrakutas in the 7th - 9th century AD, Hoysalas in the 10th - 13th century AD and the mighty Vijayanagar Empire from the 14th - 16th century AD. None of these empires would have lasted had they not been strong militarily and strategically. Some like the Cholas, even undertook military campaigns across oceans including Sri Lanka, Maldives and Malaysia. However, Southern Indian states (specifically Tamil Nadu) have been far less affected by raids, conquests and attempts to control them compared to what North and Western India (Gangetic belt) had to endure, and this includes the campaigns from Mughal dynasties and the India-Pakistan partition. So for the sake of the joke, I was attributing the stereotype that South Indians (Tamil people in this case) are laid back due to our significantly less violent recent history. Reality and History is far too complex to succinctly capture in a joke. But of course, I'll be mindful in the future.
Bad state of affairs when an amazing comic who cracks and has cracked very good, witty jokes, and made people laugh has to explain that it was, after all, just a joke.
Colorism is mostly due to humans being bandwagonist. If light-skinned people were poor and at the bottom and the world was dominated and ruled by dark skin people and the richest people and richest countries were dark-skinned. You would be living in a different world where everyone would want to have dark skin.

Every joke, it's delivery, so brilliantly written and delivered. Girl not only burning the stereotypes abt female comedians, but she's far far better than many males too!
I hear you guys, I did take too long to post this one, sorry heheh However, I will post more often - if not standup then standup related stuff. Thank you so much for watching this video and leaving your comments. Means a lot to me! ❤️
Like this longish types of videos better than shorts. Keep up the good work 😊 (You can look up glutathione drips and actors skin tone over the years for similar material for joke writing)
Don't try to post more. Take your time, work on your set and make it tighter. When you feel that's it and can't be better and you are bored of it by performing it then upload it.
Niv, thanks for doing this - but I want to just be flat out radical and say that you are a national hero. Not only is this going to make you a crorepati, but our country NEEDS this humour. There's a target audience that is completely caught up on the corporate hamster wheel, busy being educated and having zero time to TALK. Guess who does most of the talking? The hateful, jobless, girl-less variety. No jobs, no girl, lots of shallow hate. Your work is not just going to help you, it is what the viewers NEED. I, personally, would love it if you went full on with the quantity of this material. If you find a window to step this up, please DO. Much love.
Manifesting a Stand up Special with this material! It would be a cultural artefact! I am in love with your humor since I saw you at Queens of Comedy (sorry if I don't remember the name of the show right)
The write up is soooo damn strong. Your stand up . Mind-blowing. Nailed ittt... Niv Prakasam , i had been getting your shorts on my feed since couple of days and i am so glad to have found your channel. 🎉🎉🎉
The 'former prime-minister' line hit so hard!! 😂😂 It took me a second to realise that the last PM was Manmohan Singh and it feels like decades ago 😅. You also dealt with the topic of 'colourism' so artfully. Was super fun and entertaining to watch 😂😂
Thank you for not using “ F “ word and swearing… As a dark skinned woman from Tamilnadu who grew up being labelled as what you said… I enjoyed it a lot and laughed hard !
I remember I read a book long back with two Indian characters. Their names are Mr. Bangalore and Mr Delhi. Also in another book, there was a Pakistani scientist and his name is Rao Shastri.
I dont like standup comedy usually. I find them more aggressive and vulgar instead of relatable or realistic. But I watched this one till the end and I actually liked it.
I'm so sorry that you suffer discrimination for your skin tone. I'm Portuguese and in my country it's considered more beautiful to be tanned. When I was a teenager I got myself burned in the sun a lot trying to get my skin darker until I decided to accept that I am just milky white and I embraced it. I love the dark -skinned Indians, I find the color so beautiful. In the past I had a partner from Karnataka and he is gorgeous.
Southern part of Indians don't need your sympathy. And in northern part of India people are fair. Bihari is only the region which is burden on India we just get low wage labourers from there. By the way I am also a north Indian from Noida (NCR region) with ancestral roots in Rajasthan I myself from a Warrior Community so by nature we are aggresive.
Youre funny, but so real too. As a dark skinned North Indian, I have faced the heat from my relatives all my life. My fair skinned cousins were always considered better looking.
I searches south Indian stand up just to how they crack jokes in south language like tamil telugu malyali although i didn't understand language but i want to watch video with subtitles and found this. i loved it and visit her channel where she has posted another video in hindi both videos comics are best so now i became her subscriber .
There are several pros of being dark (Kallu, Kalia): 1. No need for a blackboard for kids, 2. Master of the game 'Hide and Seek', 3. King of night (Raat mein SHAANDAR CHOOR), 4. No difference in all body parts...HAHAHAHA JUST EXPANSION OF YOUR JOKES...
Except she isn't black but brown. Indians have hyper pigmentation which makes some parts of the bodies darker. Only latinas and south east Asians have even brown skin tones.
I like how you highlights the issues, and diversity of India We should preserve it. South Indians are more productive states in national income than north indian states. North State governments should take care of their contribution to the National income
Wow !! I must say she has delivered and it was effortless. It was very natural for her, like she was not even trying. The content was amazing, delivery was perfect and the performance was hilarious.
God! She made me realise how racist we are as a country. Sometimes I forget how ingrained racist thinking is in out psyche and how much we ok this kind of behaviour.
It’s not racism. It’s a culture of understanding the diversities and being identified and accepting and living TOGETHER. It’s racism when the other person is offended and we should never ever become like that.
Its colorism bro also real racism is different our stops on calling name but in developed countries you don't get jobs because of your colour and ethnicity
It is not racism.. you don’t know the definition of racism.. we Indian’s are bully based on skin colour but not racist.. we have racism in form of cast, religion, language .. etc
Love it, amazing set..so nuanced and great observations...especially the one about families waiting outside OTs ...they just don't want a fair baby but a fair boy baby most of the time.
I am a Punjabi and this was so funny that I had to take pauses to laugh. The Manmohan Singh joke was the best part from the whole video. Killed it.....kudos to you.😂😂😂
The fashion sense thing is true for Delhi and Himalyans!! Young Himalyans in north and north east cities have a great fashion sense. I agree with that..because I am biased 😂 However, there's no point if dressing up to go anywhere in delhi with that air pollution.
first female comedian whose future in comedy looks beige instead of dark 😃, gr8 going good jokes and delivery of some of them , many got miscarriaged .
I am Punjabi and the phrase you are talking about is seriously very common here in our state as well... I am really sorry from the behalf of our community.......... 🙏 ਪੁੱਠੇ ਤਵੇ ਵਰਗਾ... Hmm Your new subscriber from Punjab 🇮🇳

Bro she has to be from Delhi or smt, this level of self disrespect is crazy 😂 no Tamil ik from TN or Lanka thinks like this, they all know the cholas history
