Abstract	Why do we laugh? What makes us laugh? What are the implications of laughter? What are the physiological and psychological reasons for laughter? Is it merely physiological and psychological phenomenon? Does it emanate— so to say—from the social and the political? If yes, then what in the socio- political triggers laughter in an individual or a group? What role then humour has to play in the socio-political? Is humour innocent? Humour is a quintessential component of our daily life and these are some of the questions that arise when I think of humour, and when I do humour. I take it given, that, humour doesn’t happen, it is rather done. It is a tool with certain purposes. And as a complex phenomenon, it needs series and levels of unraveling for it to be understood. With an expectation to uncover the ‘enveloping’ companionship between humour and humiliation, I have argued that humour envelopes humiliation and humiliation envelopes humour. In this article, section I figures out the different physiological, psychological, and philosophical explanations to the query concerned. Section II draws the map of various debates and dilemmas surrounding the subject, and section III narrates the role of humour as tool of resistance.
