Amar Chitra Katha does not have any propoganda? Why do you think all
heros are depicted as light skinned and all the asuras as dark
skinned? Ever wonder why there are an inordinately large percentage of
Rajput chitra kathas? Ever wondered about the favorable depiction of
sati in these books? Last year I re-read some 50-60 of these books and
found the jingoism in many of them nauseating.
