The selected cartoons appeared first in other publications, either in print or online, or on social media, and are credited appropriately.

In today’s featured cartoon, Vishnu Madhav takes a dig at Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Kejriwal petitioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi to print images of Hindu deities Ganesh and Lakshmi on Indian currency to improve the poor state of India’s economy.
The illustration puts a spotlight on Kejriwal’s uncharacteristic use of religion — a trademark of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s electoral agenda — ahead of the Gujarat assembly and Delhi Municipal corporation polls.

R. Prasad comments on the recent debate surrounding new UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ethnicity. Though born to Indian-American parents who migrated from Punjab, Sunak, who has studied at Winchester College, Oxford University and Stanford University, has lived all his life in Europe and the US.

Sandeep Adhwaryu makes a pun on the ‘white man’s burden’ — the supposed duty of white men to civilise colonised countries — and illustrates British PM Sunak, a South Asian, shouldering the burden of Britain’s collapsing economy and impacts of Brexit.

Sajith Kumar | Twitter @sajithkumar

Alluding to the delight expressed by some Indians on Sunak becoming PM, Sajith Kumar remarks on the lack of any positive actions taken by political leaders in India which is causing people here to celebrate politicians of Indian origin in Britain.

E.P. Unny | The Indian Express

E.P. Unny takes a dig at the Indian political scene with his illustration which alludes to Modi government’s penchant for renaming cities and places. He comments that for Sunak, a Hindu PM, renaming landmarks will not be a concern since despite both belonging to right-wing parties, their priorities differ in the face of economic crises.
