The volume seeks to examine Amar Chitra Katha`s rewriting of the 19th century nationalist orientalist historiography within the context of the culture industry in a post-colonial scenario. It attempts to read closely the different strategies through which the various myths, legends and historical episodes are narrativised into a comic book format. In so far as Amar Chitra Katha was mainly rendered through a dominant bazaar realism, a derivative of the Raja Ravi Varma lithographs, the project also reveals the curious fit between the seemingly sensuous and real, and the apprehension of the "real". A provocative and cleverly argued monograph, this is a must-read not only for scholars and students of modern Indian history, contemporary culture and politics, but also for every intelligent lay reader who enjoyed reading the inimitable Amar Chitra Katha comics as a child.
