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

The lead cartoon, by Hemant Morparia, seeks to draw attention to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s reported absence from the scene after the Karnataka election results.

Next on the list is Nala Ponnappa’s take on ‘horse-trading’, the buzzword this election season after the Karnataka polls yielded a hung assembly.

In his caricature, cartoonist Irfan takes a dig at the fuel price hike effected after the Karnataka elections in the cartoon.

Suhail Naqshbandi, on the other hand, seeks to draw attention to the violence that accompanied the shift of the US’ Israel embassy to Jerusalem. While protests by Palestinians have continued for weeks, the violence soared on the day of the embassy’s inauguration.
