In a clip shared on his YouTube channel, Vir Das spoke about the ‘two Indias’, in which he detailed the contradictions that he saw in Indian society. The monologue, titled ‘I come from two Indias’, was part of a show he did at the John F. Kennedy Center in the US. The video became viral but also sparked a controversy, with many accusing him of ‘defaming’ the country on an international platform. Complaints have been filed against him and the Madhya Pradesh home minister has said that Das will not be allowed to perform in the state. The Wire has translated the English monologue into Hindi, which Mukul Singh Chouhan reads out in this video.
