What does humour do and how does it manifest when lived political circumstances experience ruptures or instability? Can humour that emerges in such circumstances be viewed as a specific narrative on the nature of democracy in the region? Drawing upon essays from India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, this volume discusses many crucial historical and contemporary themes, including dance-drama performances in norther India; caste and stand-up comedy in India; cartoon narratives of citizens' anxieties; civic participation through social media memes in Sri Lanka; media, politics and humorous public in Bangladesh; the politics of performance in India; and the influence of humour and satire as political commentaries. The volume explores the impact of humour in South Asian folklore, ritual performances, media and journalism, and online technologies--back cover. 500 $a Contributed articles. 500 $a "A Routledge India original"--Cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a List of figures -- Acknowledgements -- List of contributors -- 1. $t Humorous public in Bangladesh: an analytical reading of mediated politics / $r Ratan Kumar Roy -- Index. $g Part III.
