Wailing about the Veil

Posted by: meerasapra | June 24, 2009 | No Comment |

The French Parliament’s proposed ban on the burka and President Sarkozy’s comment about the burka being ‘not welcome’ in France as it is a ’sign of subservience’ has stirred up a lot of debate.

And that’s what inspired these cartoons…

Jean-o-cide!

I was shocked to read the news about jeans being banned in women colleges at Kanpur, a move supposedly aimed at protecting women from harassment.

And that’s what inspired the following cartoons..

This jean-o-cide makes no sense whatsoever!

        Singh is King!

        Posted by: meerasapra | May 16, 2009 | No Comment |

        The results of the Indian elections are out and as expected the Congress has won.

        Most people are relieved as this means current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (aka SMS / Sardar Manmohan Singh) will be PM again for a second term, the only other PM besides Nehru to have achieved this feat.

        When I first saw the footage of SMS videos being played on news channels with the ‘Singh is King’ song in the background, I thought it was quite cheesy and clichéd. But I’ve got to admit the phrase does have a nice ring to it especially since our king in question (SMS) does not have any king-ish airs about him.

        He’s king indeed…

        The Great Indian Elections of 2009 are about to come to a close and the results will be out soon.

        Everyone is waiting to find out who will make it to the PM’s post!

        Meanwhile, I was inspired to create these toons about the whole election scenario…

         

         

        This last toon was specially created on request to accompany a blog post by my friend Sakthidharan:

         

        Well, lets wait and watch what happens!
