The genius chronicler of India's life and political history, who unfailingly brought millions of readers the gift of a chuckle every day, is no more.
R K Laxman, the country's best-known cartoonist, passed away on the evening of January 26, at the Dinanath Mangeshkar hospital in Pune, where he was on life support for the past few days. He was 93.
Born in 1921 in Mysore, Laxman had no formal training in cartooning but the work he put out over decades was sheer genius.
