Censorship, as a concept, has a very negative and oppressive connotation. When one speaks of objectionable matter, the problem is that this objectionable matter is not objective at all, it is rather subjective. Who decides what matter is objectionable and what isn’t, and on what grounds is it decided? Pushkar Bendre, was born in Nashik and has been a nomad for most of his life. Having stayed in - Indore, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata, he can joke about all regions of India - East, West, South and North. He is one of the first comics in Pune. An MBA and Engineer by qualification, Pushkar thinks he is hilarious by birth (which for some odd reason was in a mental hospital). A big ‘fan’ of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Pushkar released his first video about Why Padmaavat shouldn’t have released and has since then got critical acclaim from renowned YouTubers like SahilDm324 and X31SanjayJiRocks. Pushkar is responsible for building the Standup Comedy scene in Pune and has brought the biggest and the best names in Indian Comedy scene to perform here. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
