Ambedkar Cartoon!

This is a nasty work.Any have no rights to underestimate the legends.

Posting the cartoon of Dr. Ambedkar in the textbooks is not the good idea. He was a good man and sacrificed his life for dalits..

The cartoon is not new. This is also not insulting. This was drawn by famous cartoonist Laxman a few years after independence. This only explains sense of urgency of drafting constitution. It is funny that the current politicians are making mountain out of mole hill. The cartoon was not criticized by Nehru and Ambedkar. Cartoons explain matter easily and hence these are included in text books.

Gulshan, a little correction, the cartoon was drawn by Shankar, not Laxman.


This is a very silly thing, the book in which this cartoon is printed was published six years ago and it is only now the Republican Party activists have found reason to object to it. Seems like now that there is no other cause to make noise about, someone has managed to dig this book up. It is evident that there is simply no maturity and tolerance left in any of the present day politicians now! :angry: :angry: :angry:

It gives me creeps! What kind of a society we are living in which throttles creativity and humor? Things don't augur well!

They probably think that when there are so many living cartoons walking the earth, we don't need them in print!! :woohoo:

Sadly, our politicians have worked too hard too throttle any kind of creativity and the process is now being sped up!

A society which can't laugh at itself, is sick. Some of our greatest were known to be loving and patronizing cartoonists for their work! Things have sunk too low these days!

I think Gulshanji is right and presentation is more important. If it is presented badly or to dishonor then it is bad.

If our leader can't respect our great leaders then what will they expect with us?,this is very shameful act.

This is 'cadre' and not 'cader'.

Drawing someone's cartoon is not disrespect. Indira Gandhi is considered as undemocratic because she imposed emergency. But she never found fault with cartoons. Many cartoons even showed he nose too long.

I remember that as a child and even during college days, I would see cartoons first in a newspaper. Cartoons say in one glance that even thousand words cannot say.

Cartoons are not mere caricatures as most of them convey deeper social and political insights!

I did not want to mean that cartoon is wrong but doing something wrong presentation is bad.

Nobody will like any expression/ views against him in cartoons, words, poems or any other mode. Democratic spirit is essentially tolerance to contrary opinion and expression irrespective of what you think. A cartoonist must be free to express. This freedom must be permitted as long as this does not create communal hatred, tension or helps enemy.

I agree! In fact the amount of freedom or leeway given to cartoonists to express political scenarios in any country or state is a true reflection of how healthy the political regime and also a mirror of a true democracy!

Mam I agree with you mam but it is not good to cartoon such a great leader.This will hurt many people feelings.

Sasikanth do you know that the cartoon was made when Ambedkar was very much alive and he did not find anything wrong with it himself!! Also, the said cartoon is in circulation for the last six years, it is not printed just recently, so is it not suspicious and ridiculous that the RPI is making a noise about it now???

Then why they are making this issue now. SO they have idea of to stay in news with this issue.

Really a Bad idea.

Now you get it, the question is why!! They simply want to attract attention and create publicity in media. Now at a time when major parts of our country are going through a horrible famine situation, creating havoc with such trivial issue is not something that would be wanted by Dr. Ambedkar. Also, the fact is that these people themselves are not familiar about his principles and his beliefs, they only want a bit of publicity and money, come what may be.

Then media should not encourage this type of fellows due to media they are making this a hard issue.
