RK Laxman Common Man Cartoons
The messy business of the democracy that was India was unforgettably captured in the iconic creation, labelled simply The Common Man R.K. Laxman, who died here on Monday 26th January 2015. The legendary cartoonist had been ailing for sometime and died at the age of 94. He will be remembered for capturing the mood of India and its various political and economic situations through several decades of doodling for The Times of India and many other publications like The Strand Magazine, Punch, Bystander, Wide World and Tit-Bits, among others.
Mr. Laxman, who was awarded the Padma Vibhushan Award, and the Magsaysay Award was a complex man, who defined his métier with an ingenious lightness of touch as evinced in his autobiography, Tunnel of Time.
