Trevor Noah has apologized after a joke about the rising tensions between India and Pakistan was dubbed 'insensitive' by citizens of the two countries.Thousands of social media users slammed a gag made by the host of The Daily Show, where he said the Kashmir issue could spark a war between the countries that would be 'most entertaining.'

It's amazing to me that my joke about the conflict in India and Pakistan trended more than the story of the actual conflict itself.

Noah responded by saying: 'Actually if you watch my stand up you'll see that I did make jokes after my mother was shot in the head.' As a comedian I use comedy to process pain and discomfort in my world but I am sorry that this hurt you and others, that's not what I was trying to do.' He also described it as 'amazing' that his joke about India and Pakistan trended more than the story of the actual conflict itself.' Sometimes it seems like people are more offended by the jokes comedians make about an issue than the issue itself,' he said.Last week, Noah used race as the focus of a joke he made when presenting the best picture nominee Black Panther at the Academy Awards.Including a Xhosa line in his introduction, he told the audience 'Abelungu abazi ubu ndiyaxoka,' which means, 'In times like these, we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart.' However, the real translation, as revealed by South African media outlet Channel 24, was: 'White people don't know I'm lying.'
