Ur stereotype of indo- pak is ignorant & racist. 3. Ur set smacks of essentialism & a patronising generalisation & is v #FirstWorld 4. Human lives were lost & at stake. SO disappointing! @ComedyCentral."Trevor Noah, Host of 'The Daily Show', Slammed on Twitter For Saying 'India-Pakistan War Will be Most Entertaining'.
