Sir,
Every time I buy SOM, the first thing I do is to look at the cartoon by Satish Acharya under Star Punch. The quality of cartoons in SOM are world class! In fact, I am an ardent fan of cartoons in newspapers and magazines. In Karnataka, most newspapers publish good quality cartoons. When we talk about cartoons, it is my duty to remember the name of late R.K. Laxman ‘The King of Cartoons’.
Now, I want to talk about the particular cartoon which appeared in SOM on 17th January 2018. It is a classic one. It is about our beloved Prime Minister’s Hugplomacy practice. It is such a wonderful cartoon in which I observed three intricate things:
- PM Modi is happily hugging the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The cartoonist shows this by sketching Modi’s happy face!
- Israel’s PM Netanyahu is somewhat not so happy about it and it has been depicted by the right hand of him unwilling to hug! It is a wonderful depiction!
- While PM Modi is happy to hug foreign PMs and Presidents, the poor people of this country are looking at our PM to see if he looks at them also and may hug them. But the cartoonist is so intelligent that he has sketched the back of PM Modi towards the people. It is indirectly an answer to those people. Here, it need not be taken on face value, but can be seen from the angle of humour.
I congratulate Satish Acharya for his wonderful work. It is also noteworthy that Acharya’s cartoons are to the point and unbiased. May his tribe increase.

Don’t worry! Tolerate for one more year all the good days will return when
1. Rahul will become india’s PM
2. Vadra will be the Finance minister
3 .Kapil sibbal will be the law minister
4. Manishanker iyer will be the foreign minister
5. Somebody China and Pak approves will be the Defence minister
And the 65 years of blissful looting will continue until 2085.
I t is so sad that cartoonist thinks that Muslims Dalits and poor were very happy before modi! So, the Good days will return
Looks like R Prakash is a supporter of Congress..!
Hindus can tolerate
500 years Muslim rule
200 years British rule
60 years Family rule
10 years Italian lady rule
But not 3 years of Hindu rule?😬
GOD SAVE OUR INDIA, CA Vinod Arya
If Modi fails in his fight againt corruption and black money, no PM of India will have the courage to take this issue again on his agenda for next 100 years and corrupt politicians, beaurocrates, police, criminals and businessman will keep looting this country as their birth right. So it is the duty of every resposible citizen to stand in support of PM Modi and fail the evil design of corrupt people to incite violence and create anarchy.
If we fail to do our duty today, our children and grandchildren will never forgive us, will hold us responsible for not giving them a clean India. If you agree, please send this message to all your contacts.
I am *NOT in Politics* and as of now, I have *no plans to get into Politics*, but there will be people who may consider this post to be Politically motivated. My *Humble apologies in advance.*
I was wondering why are so many people against our *Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi*. I noticed that this started after *Demonetization* and keeping that in mind, I was thinking who could be *people who will be affected by Demonetization*.
I was shocked to discover that here are following categories of people who will feel the impact more than anyone –
*1. Educational Institutions* – They used to get all Capitation fee in cash and most of it unaccounted.
*2. Terrorist Organisation* – Their Funding is under stress
*3. Fake Currency Dealers* – With stress on Digital Economy, they are under Major Stress
*4. Real Estate Mafia* – We all know that a Big Part of payment had to be made in Cash and now they find it difficult to account for unaccounted cash
*5. Hawala Dealers* – With almost all the money in account and a close watch on withdrawals, *they won’t mind killing Modi*
*6. Fake Trusts and Charities* – They have been used for Money laundering and with the stopping of large donations by cash, they are unable to fulfill their primary agenda
*7. Politicians* – Less said, better it is. Just look at almost NIL SCAM in last 3+ years is a Proof that many Politicians including BJP members are unhappy with Modi. They expected Modi to be like earlier Prime Ministers and close his eyes.
*8. Rich Agriculture Land Owners* – With most of the subsidy connected to Bank accounts, they are getting exposed.
*9. Film industry* – It’s a well known fact that it uses a lot of Black Money and except for Genuine Film makers, others are suffering.
*10. Sports & Other kind of Betting* – We know that gambling (Except Lottery) is banned and still there was a *turnover of USD 150 Billion*.
Please understand that *these industries employ some of the Most Brilliant minds* in the country and they will leave no stone unturned to make sure that Modi does not get a second term.
In this organized effort, even 4 judges appointed by Sonia revolted trying to discredit the Supreme Court Chief Justice
Now it’s for us, *as responsible citizens, to decide whether we want to support the above 10 Categories of people or to support ourselves*.
well said Raju sir ,
true , we need people like modi to rein in the dynasty politics.
Even if Chanakya is resurrected in this century, its difficult for him to clean the filthy politicians..
That is why they have a clean candidate like Yeddeyurrapa to clean karnataka for next 5 years like how he cleaned in past.
he will clean state treasury under banner of swach bharath this time.
If above commented gentle men are to be a true nationals you will not be supporting a corrupt CM candidate who served jail and sold our natural resources
So, supporting Sonia, Vadra and the looters gang who inflicted the nation with over 140,000 crores from 100 plus scams is called nationalism?
And see the irony, just for an example, they were protesting that Mahadayee project, Modi should have taken a stand! Both Karnataka and Goa has Congress Givernment! Sonia says in Goa, Goa will not will one drop of water to Karnataka and nobody even says a word agaist congress! These peope want Modi wants to solve all the deceased created for 6 decades in 3 years while throwing every kind of obstacle at Rajya Sabha majority.
Yes, Modi will lose! Because corrupt have a lot of voice, money power, media power , support from the foriegn forces which had a lot of control. That is what the first gent lement was tellingly! That can’t be stopped!
Yes, yediyurappa is not clean, but, DKShi is clean!? Did not we see all the Kannada channels showing a small part of his honest earnings ?
Our courts are linient and slow and bail out every criminal on the basis of a minuscule doubt! This criminals use and their supporters will say Modi did not send them to jail, so they are clean!

First let me clear some things which you are not aware,
In Goa BJP is in power for 2nd time not congress.
DKSi, have declared 250CR to election commission before elections itself, hence after raids no warrant was issued to him. The cash all found was fabricated by news there was no cash nothing later on it was reveled.
Ok, I agree congress is corrupt so BJP is also the same by fielding CM candidate who is having 22 corruption cases and served jail.
Do you find any difference ??
