R.K. Laxman, cartoonist who chronicled India’s first 60 years of independence, has died
For decades, millions in India took the political temperature of their country by looking at R.K. Laxman’s daily cartoon, published each morning on the cover of The Times of India. His cartoons were so popular that even those politicians skewered by Laxman were honored to have caught his attention. Laxman died Monday. He was 94.
