Whose Development?

by World Comics India (editor)

Whose Development (English) and VikaskalheVipreetBuddhi (Hindi) are first comics anthologies on Development recently published by World Comics India. This comics book is also an example of comics journalism at very local level. For last few years World Comics India is actively working to promote the idea. The Grassroots Comics are different from the mainstream comics and drawn by the people themselves. The activists use these comics for communication purposes in their respective organization and area. Over the period of time many of them have picked up the comics as their main profession. There are stories from Jharkhand which tells how the adivasis are being affected because of big development projects and also about the Uranium mines radiation. Story from Assam shows fisherman's harsh life conditions while the Goa story is about big companies’ encroachment into tourism. Kolkata story is about slow moving tram and Rajasthan story is about plight of a Dalit man.
