What Happened
Stand-up comedian Samay Raina created the quote 'Every revolution is a tiny joke' by inverting George Orwell's 1945 essay line 'Every joke is a tiny revolution.' The inversion reflects Raina's experience after his show India's Got Latent sparked controversy, leading to an Assam police case and public apology. Raina, a Kashmiri Pandit, applies ancestral wisdom about survival in unfair situations rather than resistance.
