2. Excerpt 2
Very few academic studies have been conducted on stand-up comedy in India, with Paul (2017)

and Sahoo and Das (2018) some of the few to reflect on the topic. Even within the existing studies

the articulation of caste locations by Indian comedians or the lack of it has not been sufficiently
explored thus far. This article aims to fill in that gap. It focuses on how caste locations of the
comedians construct an exclusivity within the industry that mirrors the pervasive caste exclusion
in the larger society. Through a close reading of a few comedians’ performances, the article
argues that the comedy scene in India is largely upper-caste. Due to this, the jokes that populate
contemporary online and live spaces of comic performance only foreground upper-caste
experiences, which in turn reinforces caste hierarchies, perpetuating discrimination.
