Delhi Calmby Vishwajyoti Ghosh
Vishwajyoti Ghosh is a cartoonist from South Delhi and one of the few Indian graphic novelists. He read both European and Indian comics growing up, including the "Tintin" and "Astérix" series as well as the "Amar Chitra Katha" series. Despite initially pursuing a profession in graphic design and cinematography while simultaneously drawing T-shirts for Orijit Sen's People Tree outfit, he finally won a school competition for political cartoons. Ghosh's art has a strong devotion to social issues, as shown in his 2010 graphic book "Delhi Calm," which dealt with the suspension of fundamental civil rights during the legal "state of emergency." He created the single-panel cartoon "Full Toss" for the Hindustan Times and the comics section "Backlog" for The Little Magazine. He contributed the fictionalised real-life story called 'The Lost Ticket' to the anthology 'When Kulbhushan Met Stockli' for Harper Collins India in 2009.
