Satish Acharya takes a potshot at Narendra Modi, Yogi Adityanath and Devendra Fadnavis’ statue fad which, he predicts, shall also take over the trends in 2019 again, with talks of a 221-meter Ram statue in Ayodhya and the giant Chhatrapati Shivaji statue in the Arabian Sea.

Gokul Gopalakrishnan for The Asian Age illustrates the disillusionment of the common man who still awaits some good news, and better days promised to him.

Manjul for Firstpost takes a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interview with ANI which he believes was less of an interview but more on the lines of his ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio broadcast.

Manoj Kureel for The Indian Eye depicts a young Rahul Gandhi with a Rafale toy jet assuring his mother Sonia to avenge all the assaults on the Congress over multiple scams that the party had been accused of in the past.

Sajith Kumar for the Deccan Herald illustrates two women throwing light from Sabarimala’s hill-top shrine encouraging women to embrace their right to equality instead of succumbing to the darkness of superstition.

Lakhs of women formed a 620-km-long wall in Kerala pledging to protect the renaissance brought about by Kanakadurga and Bindu, the two women who entered the Sabarimala shrine, to ensure gender equality. Appupen for Brainded India asserts that “the wall of unity is much taller than any statue”.

Cartoonist Mahamud, too, stands in solidarity with Kanakadurga and Bindu, and suggests that the act has upheld the supremacy of the Indian judiciary that would eventually pave the path for gender equality in the country.
