വരകളുടെ തലവര | On Political Cartoons with Sajith Kumar, Senior Cartoonist at Deccan Herald Scicle

Cartoons that comment on current events are a vital part of free societies and democracies. Editorial cartoons, also known as "political cartoons," are visual commentaries on politics, government, and politicians through irony, satire, and symbolism. Readers of political cartoons, whether critical or supportive of the figures or parties depicted, may experience a wide range of feelings and responses. Despite the power of these cartoons, the art form can trigger uneasy reactions from the public in support of a belligerent power system, and often cartoonists can be attacked, either verbally or physically. Join the Scicle podcast for this episode with Sajith Kumar, a senior cartoonist at Deccan Herald, to understand what makes a political cartoon and how the current power system makes it harder to criticise people in power.

Produced and Edited by Ananthapathmanabhan.
