I hope you people understand that this video is sarcastically mocking the U.S. system of democracy... not India
+RykersWorld Of course we get sarcasm :P
Unlike *some* people in the US...
as in a shit ton of them...
I would have given u some piece of my mind, case u didn't say that. U lucky. Stay safe. Good Luck.
We are not dumb bro
Ofcourse we know..... I was taken back when he said " wait lepers vote?"... I got that he was mocking the US
First of all, my fellow Indians, it is a comedy show, don't take offense and secondly, it was the US election system being mocked here, and not the Indian one.
Not its the indian system being mocked under the guise of some other system being mocked and its just not a comedy show. it only operates under that banner to get away with lots of things they wouldn't otherwise.
I don't even understand what was offensive in that except they did't show the dots in the north east India and Kashmir. they are integral part of India as much as any other states.
And wathcing this now again makes it more sad to see how all the comedy shows were talking about the "integrity of the election" when they were showing them the weak programing, how hackable it was and the evidence of fractional voting.
Indians are irritated because of constant rasist biased report from western media.

The two "penises" is actually two candles.
But sure do look like penises ... lmao! They need better illustrators I guess

@Master Devoe So can guys

When in the USA in May 2014, the Daily Show was about the only media outlet that even acknowledged that there was a momentous election going on in India. Jason Jones is constantly a millisecond away from sarcastic, ironic hilarity. American humor at it finest, making fun of itself, with uninformed aplomb, and a little raunchy thrown in for good measure.
+Yvette Rani Rosser Well, Last Week Tonight devoted quite a bit of time (in its debut episode no less) to covering this election as well. They even had a follow-up segment in a future episode.
This series is trying to portray india as homogenous. The reality is india is very diverse! There are so many races and ethnicities within india that make it one of the most diverse countries in the world!
+John Lawn
Im pretty sure, that is not their intention, they want to show how open minded and non restrictive indian democracy is compared with american. Also he wanted to represent typical journalists who try to provoke the minorities with such questions.
They said at the start of the 2nd episode, that India is very diverse and you can't understand it in one go.
Indian Democracy is almost the only thing homogeneous about india.
And this video portrays that very well.
India is the only country which houses lineage based races, that is each community descends from one single forefather. At least true for the lineages of Brahmins, Kshatriya and Vaishya. We don't have a pseudo race called the white race or the black race, each of whom out of a random 100 will have at least 50 different paternal genetic haplogroup. In India, pick 100 males from a certain caste , you will have people with 100 of them possessing a single genetic lineage. That is what's really a race. Not like your pseudo race- white race , as perpetuated by globalists to confuse the world about what really is a race.
@Joshua Jung You been to India before?
This is BS. We should get snacks when vote.
+chris j -- #SnackDemandingVotersMatter.
Some NGOs in India provides snacks to encourage voting.
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
they left North East state, Kashmir, Andaman and Nicobar & lakshadwip...
GITESH JHA nope, they don't ! even kashmiris votes , how come Mufti became CM ?
Its because we NorthEasterns are recognized officially by the UN and we are a member of Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO).
We are not Indians by choice by by military force.
Still better than being a chinese citizen to be frank.
@bora then will be occupied by china like tibet
@bora hoise ja. Kotha koboloi ahiso. Baperor ru dom nai .bangladesh r logote lagibo nuarim aru
@bora sa Bhai. Racism ketiyau one sided nohoi. Hihote amak discriminate Kore, amiu tu hihotok letera bihari buli insult koru, ghin koru. We were not forced by the Indian gov it was our own people like Gopinath bordoloi who decided to stay with India. Actually during the partition, Assam was suppose to include in east Pakistan. It is good that at least we are not in Bangladesh and there we would havd been tortured, murdered, massacred and forcefully convereted to Islam.
Delhi University students' union election has electronic voting :D
Which makes me so sad to declare that ABVP swept the elections at DU.
Milind Tripathi ABVP is God send for students :p we get to have holidays
@@Namburiadityasairam2605 even students in iraq get holidays, so ISIS must be good
( i know ur joking, im joking too)
I'm a young Indian man and I found this video amusing. and NOT OFFENSIVE.
If anyone found it offensive...its bcos they don't get sarcasm.
This is certainly not a mockery - it is certainly admiration. :)
Why can't the US adopt the Indian voting system? It shouldn't be that difficult to empower people to vote.
+Jack Burns That's exactly why: lawmakers don't want to empower people to vote because they're worried they'll lose their seats. That's why districts are Gerrymandered to the point where our votes make no difference. Check out the episode of Adam Ruins Everything that explains all this (it's up on RUclips).
Aren't the elections run by an independent body.
Nikhil Vishal The elections themselves are, but the other factors that contribute to election results aren't. Our Congressional district boundaries are drawn by the representatives we've elected, which pretty much guarantees that they'll win every election (because of course they'll draw district boundaries where people will re-elect them).
Jack Burns Because they don't really want to and it would be expensive?
The electronic voting and automatic registration along with avoiding extra votes are very necessary to make elections fair and transparent. India is now trying to also implement automatic registration. Currently, it is done online through a simple form if one does not have ration card or voting ID card.
here in india election day is public holiday. and there is no gerrymandering
Just they forgot to depict polling stations in India's North East. And the Patel family station wagon was awesome. Reminds me of the time when I used to travel with my family on a Bajaj chetak - a family of 5!
4:20 his first taste of arnab's shouting..... His expression is priceless XD
Not arnub its cnn ibn
lol its not arnab its congress's darling rajdeep sardesai
4:20 - Kejriwal slapped again.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy has been slapped way tooo many times......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this shows that he is the only politician in india who is accessible to general public.
Anant Garg great come back.
says a lot about you that you think it's funny
😂 he need to Be kicked out😂😂
Yeah.... But he is the man with plan and great vision i think🤔
you actually spoke with only sane person in congress. lol
Only not in congress but in all of politics. He is the only good politician we people have.
Sane enough to be accused of killing his wife.
@@RatnaMaharaj even a tree can be accused of something. Accusations often come from jealousy. What matters is proof beyond reasonable doubt.
True
@@winterprince994 he charged for murder but lets see where it goes
Thanks Daily Show for doing this segment. When India hardly gets any coverage in the western world, you did this wonderful series of segments on our voting system.
Our voting system is a matter of pride for us Indians. With little money and resources, we have made it possible to use technology to facilitate our elections.
Election Commission of India, Supreme Court of India, Electronics Corporation of India Ltd. (that designed the electronic voting machine or EVM), other organizations such as IIT Bombay, Bharat Electronics Ltd. and countless volunteers made the 100% electronic voting possible in India since 1990s.
I am in my 30s now and I NEVER ever voted on paper in India. It is quite an achievement for a country with more than 800 million voters when we see compare it with election systems in US and Canada among others.
My father (a retired university professor) was one of the earliest master trainers for the EVMs in India and over a period 10 years, he trained thousands of trainers plus prepared training and instructional materials. In 1989, I was a little girl, he showed me the first model of the EVM, it was such a simple machine.
🤣🤣🤣 I am an Indian ..I realise how organize are we, under this chaotic scenario.....Now looking at the current situation in America i find it ridiculous to see Gmail account is more secure than security in the US Capitol.🤣
2:59 you left North East states , Jammu Kashmir, Uttrakhand , Andaman and Nicobar island & lakshadwip island ....
The states were left out on purpose. The Daily Show believes those states are disputed and Indian govt wilfully tramples on the rights of those states.
and who the hell are you to decide such things......you people are so stupid ....in the similar fasion i also does not consider Alaska to be the part of USA..... :P :P :P
+Bobby P Uttarakhand isn't disputed. However, I agree with the rest of em.
Only one of the seven states in the North-East, Arunachal, is subjected to dispute, other states and the union territory of Lakshwadeep is not disputed territory at all! Both you and The Daily Show that you are speaking for, need to Google stuff. :)
NAGALAND definitely doesn't want to be a part of India and is a member of Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization(UNPO).
After all mainland India treats us like shit.
we are indians by forced military not by choice.
Same with SIKKIM and parts of Manipur.
In one if your slides where you showed yellow dots all over india. You completely ignored north east india.. please correct your slide as we have 7 states in north east india and they participated in 14 general elections very well. So plz be careful next time..
+Rakesh Tomar very true and that only reflects on the ignorance on their part. It's like leaving out Alaska or Hawaii from the US map but even thats only two states but they left out our seven.
Please correct your slide 😂😂😂
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while XD
The patel family station wagon
😊☺️☺️, I'm dead
Damn, even they have Fox News
Times Now is Fox News of India....
Like Fox it's right wing biased channel
Mei Kitab lmao your comment cracked me up
4:22 we have CNN too
Oh we got loads of them.
India doesn't have a right wing. Socially, everyone is super right. But fiscally speaking, everyone is extremely left big govt "throw money on problems" kind of politics.
calm down fellow indians, they make a lot of fun of their own people, cites, states and politicians. Lighten up, this was a funny piece especially with SY Quarashi poor guy had no clue the anchor was messing with him
+Vasisht Vasan -- Actually, Mr.Quarashi was fully aware of it and even participated in it pretty well.
Carefree joker anchor versus stereotypical protocol oriented seasoned bureaucrat.
Vasisht Vasan there is a way to have fun. Making fun of one person and making fun of the whole country is totally different thing...
Never saw such trains in my life, but West knows where to find them 🙂
In one word MF's ™, all of them
I've lived in India all my life, never saw them either lol
that news quarrelling is definitely true
I love how at 2:58 when they showed the many polling stations... The NE region is like - Baby I'm not even here I'm just your imagination 💀
Before speaking to Sashi Tharoor...
Carrying dictionary-Check
3:38 holy shit it's Indian Richard Dawkins
+DarkLordLink WHAT????
+DarkLordLink Actually more like Indian Carl Segan!
Love his accent too!
he got education in america
+DarkLordLink FYI, That's shashi tharoor. He's a world renowned writer and public speaker. Try googling him
+DarkLordLink he sounds more like christopher hitchens tbh
Pause at 2:57 that's my Mother right there. Love you amma.
I appreciate your efforts to educate our American brothers about their friends in south asia. Well we took fundamental rights from your constitution and took it in ours too.
This has to be the most hilarious take on elections in India I’ve ever seen. This guy is seriously good. I mean gooooooddd! But wait elections in India are strictly procedural we don’t have the kind of substantive democracy that you do in the west. Which is where we are headed next ! #newglobalpower
Wow! They actually have training on what happens if someone doesn't even have an arm?
LMAO, I find this mini series hilarious.
That news thing at the end is hilarious. Our news channels are crazy. Literally CRAZY!! lol
Dude that was hilarious 😂
@4:09
I like the fact that shashi tharoors got good Sense of humor .
Its the most basic sense of humour you think anyone else wouldn't laugh?
Oops no polling stations in eastern India at 3:00 :(
Yes... They had thousands of polling station but the channel doesn't know about geography... They left northeast part, Kashmir, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and lakshya deep.... But yes they had polling station...
There should be a polling station within 2 km of every registered voter in India it is mandated by law, they even setup a polling station in a remote corner of Arunachal Pradesh for just one voter
That's the joke
Don't dare to talk with Shashi tharoor.
Even britishers need coaching classes to match his English 😀
Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom is one of the most racist flicks ever made by the way.
Why did they ignore the north east and far north on the voting map?
Oh man the ending was just hilarious 😆
That voter guy said and all voters made it clear in results 🤣🤣
4:21 _KEJRIWAL SLAPPED AGAIN_ *2019*
This is awesome 👍
3:02 a little offensive that u cut north east part of india :/
indeed
The style of presentation is funny as it is comedy show. very good program.
Amazing man just amazing...
This India is very complex of understanding but this is fascinated
Maybe USA should invite that Former Chief Election Commissioner for a Tutorial
damn from where do they find these trains..i have never seen them..most of them belong to bangladesh
Uuu. that's so offensive!
I love it😂
very funny... love the show.
Nice one. .......keep it up. ...
lol..they interviewed the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and didn't grant him even a full frame
Patel family station wagon had me lol
Funny how they forgot to mention how India does indeed have voter ID laws. In fact you need a ID card specifically meant for voting in order to vote.
as an Indian I love this
where is the next part
We reporters like him
One's willing to swear
That last shot with TV😂😂😂😂
I m an Indian & I never seen people on the roof of a train...from where u got that!!!!
That's a Bangladeshi train not indian, don't worry
have you heard about urs?
felt kinda bad that north eastern india was not dotted with polling stations. 💔
Where is the 3dr part?
Awesome... Hilarious 😂😂😂
I'm Indian and i loved it
Polling stations are also located in the Northeastern part of India as like the rest of India. It's a big mistake.
as an India this is way too funny.
they left north east India.......... in the map
Ever thing is changed in 5 years
You guys hvn't shown vote booths of North East and indian state of J&K🙏
Please upload next parts, May be you have deleted them cuz of any issue . but please you may upload them from soem fake accounts ?? ... : P. !
Oh man I always watches the dogs barking in news channels when my father takes over the tv remote
d person he interviews in d later part is former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations mr. shashi throor....also run for d post for General of the United Nations... n finishes second 2 ban-ki-moon,as india does not support him at dat time,.... cuz it was opting for parmanent membership at UN
Where can i watch this whole Eipsode?
Congratulations India: even your 24-hour news networks have out-America'd America's =D
that like leaving half of population of USA
dude you missed northeast and kashmir
I can't stop laughing from the video I can say he only went around in Delhi and Mumbai but oh my God is fucking funny
Its 2019 , have you made a new one ?
The former ECI head is really funny
Where’s part 3?
Dude!!! Why don't you visit NorthEast India also?
You will be amazed
Hilarious stuff!
Shashi Tharoor loves foreign media 😂
Good for us we cannot get a better face to represent India on a global platform than him.
Where's part 3?
This is so funny 😂
people who find this offensive need to get a life.....
3:00 You forgot the Northeast
I was about to comment on the same
Lol even I get a stomach upset when I go to India.
No voting poll stations in Assam and Kashmir??? WTF?
Hilarious n true.
3:49 Press F to pay respects
India in the topic equals millions of views
I love this thing like Americans love democracy
Why do you skip North-East India in 2.59?
This is comedy.....totally funny
Ur map showing polling booths is inaccurate. It did not include NORTH EAST part of INDIA. Plssssss change it if possible. It means a lot to us.
3.00 Why did you miss out the entire North East India? Seems kind of offensive ....
How could they miss North East India in the map while showing election booths with yellow dots
