I saw on Twitter that the State Department is sponsoring a comics' tour of India.
This is part of an increased effort to build business and cultural visits to India.
One of the comics is Azhar Usman, in the clip above. I found from reading up on Azhar that he has devoted himself to cultural citizens' diplomacy work.
He's appeared with comics from other faiths to try to break down stereotypes.
As I watched this Indian of the Muslim faith, I had to say that what stood out for me was his flat American midwestern accent. Ancient cultures and ancient faiths, but it's all one, you come to America, and you wind up saying "attached garage" like I do.
