Propaganda Cartoon

We as an audience tend to take everything for granted. We forget that everything presented to us, has been constructed by the media in a specific way, to convey the message that; what is presented is the truth. But is it so?

New generation today support batman and superman over the almighty. Little do they know that all these super heroes are cartoonized version of Jesus or other biblical characters, filled with racial stereotypes.

We had always this problem with comic books; We believe it is full of propaganda.We haven’t found in our whole life a Children’s comic book. The comics that we have are manuals of parenting or religious teachings. You would never find a gay/lesbian couple in any children’s book, thanks to the religious code. With regard to comic books being parenting manuals; We need not explain, for any Indian who had gone through the torturous Amar Chitra Katha would know it better.

Philosophers argue that only way to teach creativity is by teaching children perspective and creativity is very essential for empathy. If we love to have a future with empathizing population, We suggest we ban all the children’s book, because the perspective that we are giving them is highly biased.

We don’t dream of a childhood without bias. We are all biased, but we would love to bias the child with multiple perspectives.
