The subject for this year's discussion is "The impact and import of cartooning and caricatures as a medium of expression of opinion". Speaking on occasion President of India Pranav Mukharjee said, “I understand that the discussions are dedicated to two legendary cartoonists, R.K. Laxman and Rajinder Puri, who are no longer with us. I pay tribute to these two individuals who made immense contribution to the art of cartooning as well as public accountability and social criticism in our country”. The Press Council and the Kerala Cartoon Academy have organized an exhibition of caricatures featuring me for this occasion. That they have chosen this as a practical demonstration of the theme of this year's discussion, is both welcome and flattering. Cartoons and caricatures are good stress busters, for the viewing public as well as those featured in them. The cartoonist captures the mood of the time and his art lies in being able to lampoon without hurting, caricature without distorting and to say with a few strokes of the brush what lengthy articles fail to express.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
