Kapil Sharma’s Mental Slavery in the Face of Netflix Colonialism

मैं कपिल शर्मा शो का बहुत बड़ा फैन हुँ

 


Kapil Sharma’s Mental Slavery in the Face of Netflix Colonialism

I subscribed to Netflix for one reason: The Kapil Sharma Show. Laughter, wit, and cultural familiarity wrapped in desi humor—Kapil Sharma was the heartbeat of Indian comedy for millions like me. But now? He has vanished. And I’m left scrolling through endless Hollywood action flicks and half-hearted, badly dubbed Bollywood films that I can’t stomach beyond the first minute.

Where is Kapil Sharma?

This isn’t just about missing a show. It’s about what Kapil’s silence represents—a deeper issue of cultural erosion and quiet submission in the face of global entertainment monopolies. When Oprah found herself pushed aside, she created OWN. When Arnab Goswami felt constrained, he launched Republic. But Kapil, a man of extraordinary talent, huge fan following, and financial clout (let’s not forget, he pays 15 crores in taxes), has seemingly retreated into obscurity.

What makes this even more painful is Kapil’s historic refusal to learn English—a subtle but powerful protest against colonial arrogance. He stood for the common man, the regional language speaker, the one who laughed in Punjabi, Hindi, and heart. Now that very man is missing in action, while Netflix peddles content that is alien to the pulse of the masses he once moved.

Kapil Sharma has the resources to launch his own platform. His own company. His own global voice. But instead, we get silence. In this digital age, silence isn’t just absence—it’s submission. It’s mental slavery.

Kapil, if you’re reading this: You don’t need Netflix. Netflix needs you.

And Netflix, I want my money back.
