Cartooning in India

I have written an article on Cartooning in India and have sent it for publication. I'll post the article here after it is published. Meanwhile, here are some cartoons drawn by famous cartoonists of India over the ages. To know more about individual cartoonists one may read my series: 50 Great Cartoonists of India, published in Cartoonwatch (English), Samadrusti (Odia) and Deshbandhu (Hindi)
Cartoon published in HIndi Punch.
