Common Man Takes A Stroll

A collection of gems from India's best-loved cartoonist. From financial crises to the woes of householders, from political instability to rampant corruption, Laxman's cartoons capture the entire gamut of contemporary Indian experience. Hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time, this is a treasure house of humour from one of the most striking voices commenting on Indian socio-political life today. This is a revised edition of the original published in 1999.

Rasipuram Krishnaswamy Laxman has been cartooning for the Times of India for over fifty years. He has also written and published numerous short stories, essays, travel articles and two novels. He has won several prestigious awards, including the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India.
