The human society in which human beings live has the potential for various events and activities to take place. There are also some incidents and actions that are harmful to society. Some people do it for their own benefit. Such actions can only be detected through satire. Tantra is a genre that exposes the ills of society and uses them to be judge by people. It is a satire that makes the people of the community laugh and then draw attention to a bitter truth. Satire plays a vital role in awakening and motivating the community. This article discusses the introduction to satire, the origins of satire, the types of satire, the purpose of satire, the views of scholars on satire, the benefits of satire, the history of satire, and examples of satire. I have to say that satire has developed so much in recent times that satires are made on various topics to inform the people of the community through various media.
