'''Shugli–Jugli''' (formerly known as '''Santa Banta'''), also known as '''Shugli Jodi''', is a [[stand-up comedy]] duo consisting of two brothers Shugli and Jugli. The team is primarily known for humorous comedy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Ban-on-Sardar-Jokes-Comedians-Santa-Banta-exit/articleshow/49795463.cms|title=Ban on Sardar Jokes: Comedians Santa-Banta exit | India News - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> It is associated with [[Doordarshan]] since 1988 and has appeared in eight hundred uncertain [[double act]] shows, including in Bangkok, Singapore and Toronto.

In 2015, the two changed their original [[stage name]] following indecent Santa Banta-related [[social media]] contents posted under their names that allegedly targeted specific minority community such as [[Sikhs]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/punjab/story/comedians-santa-banta-change-their-name-to-shugli-jugli-273048-2015-11-17|title=Comedians Santa Banta change their name to Shugli Jugli|website=India Today}}</ref>

== Controversies ==
The duo changed its stage name after the two were criticised for being responsible for practicing [[sardarji joke]]s during stand-up shows, leading to numerous social media posts of offensive content under their names.<ref name="governancenow.com"/>

In 2016, the [[Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee]] filed a petition to the [[Supreme Court of India]] to prohibit people from posting Santa Banta-related contents online.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/reel/805274/culturally-insensitive-or-harmless-fun-the-santa-banta-debate|title=Culturally insensitive or harmless fun?
