Sandeep Adhwaryu | The Times of India

Sandeep Adhwaryu puns on ‘peace’ and ‘piece’ as he illustrates the Pakistan Army with a ‘war’ cleaver ready to butcher a two-headed goat — the country’s economy and the polity headed by Imran Khan.

Kirtish Bhatt | BBC News Hindi

Kirtish Bhatt calls out news channels for inducing rage and hatred, sarcastically calling them the fourth wing of India’s armed forces, the “channel sena”.

Gokul Gopalakrishnan | The Asian Age

Gokul Gopalakrishnan depicts India’s public getting overwhelmed by the news channels’ war rhetoric, and hiding behind a sofa chair for relief.

Manjul | Firstpost

Manjul mocks Pakistani PM Imran Khan’s statement for peace. He points out that Pakistan has bombarded the LoC, entered Indian air space and threatened to drop bombs, all because it claims its air force had beaten the Indian Air Force into retreat Tuesday. 

Mika Aziz | Twitter

Mika Aziz points to the trending #SayNoToWar on Twitter. He shows Twitter’s blue bird trying to hatch a no-war egg with an olive branch clutched in its beak — the latter being the traditional depiction of the white dove of peace.

Mir Suhail | News18v

Mir Suhail depicts the spectre of death with a bloody scythe in hand and a television celebrating war as its bowed head. The audience, meanwhile, wears a party hat and munches on popcorn, with the implication being war and death have been turned into an entertainment spectacle.

Satish Acharya | Twitter

In the context of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman being taken into custody by Pakistan, Satish Acharya shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi pondering the options of peace (represented by the white dove) and vengeance (shown as the hawk) while the parrot keeps reminding him that elections are around the corner.
