R.K.Laxman (Cartoonist) -Through A Coloured Glass rediff.com rediff.com rediff.com All my life I have painted crows. Singly, in pairs, threesomes, whole murders of them." He breaks off to chuckle. "Don't look so horrified. Murder is the collective noun for crows. Even as a child I had been fascinated by them. They are smart, lively and have a strong survival instinct. The common crow is really an uncommon bird." The speaker is the uncommon creator of that common man who represents the mute millions of this country -- who else but Rasipuram Krishnaswami Laxman, India's most celebrated cartoonist? Forty years of cartooning have dimmed neither Laxman's brilliance nor the bafflement of his check-coated man who blinks at the political scene from his front-page corner in The Times of India..... rediff.com

Mohan: Pakistan does not have to worry about its perceived foe namely India. Friends like Taliban, Mujahideen , pak military etc will do Pakistan in. What are family and friends for? Unstable pakistan is not good for India. For our sake, hope Pakistan does not disintegrate. I also read how this Mujahideen suffered untold miseries & mutilations in the Kargil mountains, not in the hands of Indian soldiers & all in the name of "freedom". Their noses, toes, & ears were all eaten down to the bone from deep frost up in the mountains. Still some were heard to tell that they will keep on fighting till death do them in. Sheer pathos. JPR
