Stand-up comedian Sourav Pant [1]‘s comedy company East Indian Comedy [2] has uploaded a YouTube video lampooning what a government-approved sex education class in India would look like. The video has gone viral [3], with more than 1 million hits in three days.

The video mocks a suggestion made by Health Minister Harsh Vardhan [4] a few weeks ago that sex education should be banned in Indian schools (he later claimed his comments were taken out of context [5]) as well as parodies how teachers shy away from discussing the issue [6] in the class.

“Sex Education in India” created a buzz on social media. Santosh Kumar [7] wrote on the East Indian Comedy's Facebook page: “The same thing happened with me when i was in school!”

Some like Sravan Kumar [8] did not like the video: “Dont forget India is the country which gave Kaama sutra to the world.”
