A uniquely illuminating and hugely entertaining survey of a fascinating Indian phenomenon – Charts. Covering every imaginable subject these charts are found throughout India. Intended primarily as educational material, they also act as guides to morality and correct social behaviour and offer marvellous cautionary tales. Wonderfully unclassifiable, echoing naive art and kitsch, Ideal Boy presents an hilariously random carnival of information.

Sirish Rao is a writer for whom collecting charts has been a consuming passion since an early age. V. Geetha is a social historian with a particular interest in popular culture and their origins.
