In India, comedians can face arrest for making the wrong kind of jokes

This time last year Nalin Yadav was detained in an Indian prison, not knowing when he would be let out.

"I didn't understand how or why this happened to me," said the 26-year-old stand-up comedian, who spent almost two months behind bars. "I couldn't sleep or eat. I had anxiety attacks. My mind wouldn't stop racing."

His alleged crime? Organizing and opening a show for a comic he says he had met just five minutes earlier -- a Muslim comedian accused of telling jokes that insulted the Hindu faith.
