India lost her beloved “Common-Man” creator, cartoonist RK Laxman this week. Arre Chintu salutes RK Laxman by compiling a short list of his great creations of his career spanning over 5 decades.
1. When he pitted himself against Indira Gandhi
His understanding of the Emergency was as appropriate as it can ever get!
