Anant Pai - the Father of Amar Chitra Katha

Hello Friends, 
Posting after a long long time. Glad to see Amar Chitra Katha has not only survived but expanding. Buy original copies and support the best Indian Comics.

Alok Sharma jee has send a wonderful material from Reader's Digest (Aug 1988) about Anant Pai (17 September 1929 – 24 February 2011) with autograph of the father of Indian Comics.

Very truly written in this article, the unconditional love for Amar Chitra Katha helped me to understand Indian history, the mythology and folk tales more than any other book. Although being a science subjects lover (with commerce as extra subject), always got excellent marks in the history also - thanks to ACK.

Amar Chitra Katha creator UNCLE PAI(Anant Pai) dead at 81.

Anant Pai, better known as Uncle Pai, creator of Amar Chitra Katha  and Tinkle comics has died at the age of 81.

Amar Chitra Katha has shown millions of Indians the route to their roots. Tinkle has been the childhood companion of many for over two and half decades. In 1967, the educational comics series Amar Chitra Katha was launched. Each of the comics in this series was devoted to a person or event in Indian history, religion and mythology. Anant Pai conceptualized of all of these, and wrote the scenarios for most of them.
