"A cartoonist enjoys not a great man but a ridiculous man."
R.K.Laxman.

In the demise of R.K.Laxman, we have lost the independant voice of Common Man, which is silent. His Common man was a silent spectator like us for the past 50 years.

More Amazing - his reaction to The Moral Policing - Freedom of Expression This message is also for a few in this forum doing exactly this!!!




  1. MORARJI DESAI CALLED A CABINET MEETING TO BAN ME

I congratulated myself on having acheived a harmonious routine work, a couple of drinks in the evening at home in the company of my family and retiring early to read in bed. All this was shattered when Morarji Desai became the chief minister of Maharashtra and introduced prohibition to snuff out what he perceived as the evil habit of drinking. It was said he would not even drink plain water to quench his thirst, but would prepare his own 'recycled liquid' from within himself and consume that!

Morarji Desai also banned horse racing and crossword puzzles. A cartoon I drew on this theme annoyed him so much that he held a full cabinet meeting to muzzle me and ban making the government, politicians and ministers objects of ridicule in the name of humour. He was told there was no way of stopping the cartoons since our Constitution fully protected the freedom of expression.
