Jay Hind! is an Indian Hindi-language standup comedy and late-night talk show hosted by Sumeet Raghavan, which was broadcast on the internet.[1] It was launched on 15 August 2009, and published new episodes twice a week. The final episode was broadcast in October 2014.

The show was created by Abhigyan Jha as a sequel to the late-night television comedy show Movers & Shakers. It was produced by Mrinal Jha for Undercover Productions Ltd. By 2014, the show had a team of 15 scriptwriters.[2]

Jay Hind! included satirical commentary on current events, jokes about politicians and other public figures, and comedy about sexuality and other controversial subjects. The presenter and guests freely used profanity.[3] In 2012, a skit about the Sikh runner Fauja Singh, which included jokes about the 1984 Sikh massacre, was sharply criticized by the Sikh community.[4]

In 2011, the show's website was hacked by anti-Indian fundamentalist activists.[1]

A version of the show adapted for television, called The Late Night Show, was broadcast on Colors TV. It debuted on television on 3 March 2012.[5] The Late Night Show excluded some of the more controversial commentary, in order to be accepted for syndication.[6]

There was also an English-language version of Jay Hind!, called Better Late Than Never, which focused on international news.[1]

Abhigyan Jha was nominated for the Best Director (Comedy) award at the Indian Television Academy Awards in 2011, for his work with Jay Hind!.[7]
