Caste is hard to raise at a dinner table, in a classroom, or with the people who raised you. These comics start those conversations by drawing them.
2 comics · 58 panels
The comics on this page were drawn to be read together, out loud, with someone who does not already agree with you. They are shared for that purpose: read them in a classroom, a union meeting, a reading circle, or at home.
Every panel carries a transcript of the words drawn inside it, so the comics can be read by a screen reader, quoted, and translated. Any panel can be opened full screen, and once one is open the arrow keys move through the rest.

Ms Meghna asks her class how landless agricultural families survived, and two students answer. Ajay sets out the work and the wages; Mughil, drawing on her grandmother, shows what caste added on top of the poverty.
