When I was in the equivalent of Standard XII class some 60 years ago, I drew a cartoon as part of the essay assignment our English teacher had given us as home work. The essay was on an episode in Pickwick Papers, and I thought the cartoon was quite appropriate, but the teacher was furious.
It is height of absurdity to condemn cartoons made by Shankar who was greatly admired by Nehru and who made fun of them. After all fun or wit teach much more than serious rote memory
Come on, these politicians should wake up, there are much more important and critical issues which need some immediate attention. Prioritize the issues. They don't care about the corruption eating all the nation money, the don't care of the people dying dying of hunger, but yeah thats true all these issues are not as interesting as the cartoons issue. I urge our government to do some real work, ncert is nor insulting the great leaders by those cartoons but the corrupt politicians are...
We Indians have a poor sense of humor. We cut jokes on others & enjoy but we can't laugh on ourselves. The hypothetical person like our politicians are lacking the sense of humour and their behaviour induced by humour is inexplicable, strange, funny, illogical, irrational and not acceptable.In the controversial cartoon, Panditji is whipping the tortoise and not Baba Sahib as he is also having the whip and both are trying to accelerate the progress of writing the constitution. There is nothing wrong to projec the delay. All our PSU projects are delayed and no politician is objecting to it causing loss of Public Money.NCERT should not take remove the cartoons.
