Summary

The video discusses the recent controversy surrounding the cancellation of comedians Munawar Faruqui, Kunal Kamra, and Carryminati's shows due to allegations of 'Hinduphobia'.

They also highlight the selective nature of the outrage, pointing out instances where other individuals and groups have made controversial statements or actions without facing the same level of backlash. The hosts criticize the selective nature of the outrage and argue that the true issue is the lack of protection and support for these comedians by the police and authorities.
