Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj is a popular political comedy show which talks about the importance of Asian American voters in the US Presidential elections. It was during a shoot of an episode when the host Hasan Minhaj reached out to people of Asian communities and was accused of being 'anti-Indian'. A man dressed in a colourful traditional dress with tri-coloured turban tells Minjah that he does not respect Indians and he should respect Modi, India and Hindus. The man further also added that he is ashamed to say that Minhaj is from Sacramento. 

'From anti-Indian to bonding'

The 32-second-video clip shared by the stand-up comedian himself has taken over the internet by storm as the video took a sudden turn. When Minhaj asks the middle-aged man if they can take a photo together, the man happily accepts and says, “Even though we have a difference of opinion, he is a good guy”. Minhaj shared the video on Twitter with a caption “Indian political discourse” and has received thousands of likes and views. Many netizens have also reacted to the clip and called it, “From anti-Indian to bonding over the shame of Sac town in 30 seconds”.
