No words to explain the contribution that Uncle Pai has given to the Indian masses.
When we wanted to to gift children of orphanages something of worth, we immedeatly thought about the Amar Chitra Katha comics. ACK were gifts that our social service organisation used to regularly present.
His contribution to the Indian Psche is enornmous and cannot be quantified.
I have got into the habit of reading only because of the interest that came from reading ACK. Now, even at the age of 41 I still buy Tinkle / Tinkle Digest for my children and read along with them.
I can tell that he is very innovative in his approach to rouse the interest of children.
I remember Uncle Pai and his wife visiting our home in Delhi. He was very soft spoken and a mild mannered man. Many may not remember that he had started a personality development course called "PARTHA".
What an angel, for creating such wonderfull comics, i looked forward towards the time i could read them during my holidays. I even wrote a story to Tinkle which was not published but i did get a lettter from him signed saying that i should try again.
Ofcourse i am not a writer but he created a urge in me to excel !!
He will rest in peace after having influenced millions of reader in very simply book of his and off course making us remember our own heritage. Long Live Uncle Pai
Uncle Pai, you taught us our epics, our history in the form of ACK. You are a hero to us -those of the 70's- and for todays youngsters too. May your sould rest in peace.

I do not remember a single person of my generation and some others who have not been influenced by the entertainment, humor, history & values which Uncle Pai communicated through his ACK & Tinkle comics.
Uncle Pie, We love you and you are the true hero who let us know what exactly is to uphold the tradition and culture of our beloved India. Whereas we forget out true heros and fight for Bollywood heros and Cricket Stars.
I only sincerely hope that we know and give more respect to the true hero's like Uncle Pie who have done a lot without letting others down. Media please grow up and introduce us more of such HEROs like Uncle Pie, if you truly love your job.
