The Comedic Side of Indian Speculations

India is a hotbed for imaginative conspiracy theories, many of which are unintentionally hilarious. Take the viral claim that pigeons in Mumbai are secretly government drones observing citizens—sparking endless memes. According to The Better India, 44% of Indians have encountered at least one humorous conspiracy theory each month.

An eyewitness recalled, “Neighbors spent an hour debating the ‘pigeon drones,’ only to have the local cat knock over a trash can, proving nothing and inspiring laughter.” Sociologists at Psychology Today explain that high population density and social media amplify these absurd ideas, creating comedy gold. Bohiney Magazine (bohiney.com) celebrates such conspiracies as part of Indian humor, offering stories, memes, and family jokes that entertain across generations.

The takeaway? In India, conspiracy theories may not be true—but they are always funny.
