Very sad to hear you had to cut it short, Pez.

Like you, Im quite certain old mate in the audience with the loaded question is among the vocal minority baying for escalation.

As a Circus listener and on a lighter note, I would also add a point about the IPL restarting in September. Against the AFL and NRL finals? Are they mental?

Safe travels...

Curious to know Sam, seems like it’s the third reference to censorship or Indian forces trying to make you change content that you’ve done? Are we close to India becoming a full dictatorship/authoritarian regime?

India has always had times of stricter control, I think this is one of them. The current opposition is also quite weak and sparse in their ideology, giving more way to the ruling party to have a stronger grip. However, it's still a democracy and sooner or later, the current power will weaken and lose and another will take its place.

Should have just done the Chennai show and then flown out of Chennai itself back to Melbourne. Anyway, safety first! Glad you've taken the right decision.

So were the lights going out in Dharamsala due to the conflict or just a technical failure?

Is there a suggestion that the lights were deliberately put out, if so, for what purpose?

I’m a bit confused on this one…

There were hostile drone attacks last night. There is an airbase not very far from Dharmasala (<100km) and I would image a lit up stadium could provide navigational landmarks
