    THE WORLD OF AMAR CHITRA KATHA by Frances W. Pritchett Columbia University The Indian comic book industry is large and growing, with comic books in English an especially popular product. Comics based on traditional Hindu mythological tales and historical figures seem to sell particularly well; they find markets not only in India, but in the West as well, among Indian immigrants. The purchasers tend to be adult, well-off and educated--the kind of people who want their children to read in English, and also want to assure them access to a cultural tradition that otherwise may seem increasingly remote. For the second- generation Indian-American students I teach here at Columbia, such “Classics Illustrated” comics have replaced grandmothers as the primary source of stories about India. While these comics are normally bought and presented by adults, our students remember reading them eagerly and with real enjoyment. This flourishing genre has been dominated since the end of the 1960s by a single series, Amar Chitra Katha (“immortal illustrated story”), originally conceived and still edited by Anant Pai of IBH (India Book House) in Bombay. According to Anant Pai, however, the series had its real origin not in Bombay but in Delhi. There, in 1967, Pai had his first chance to watch television. As a government enterprise, television started in Delhi and only later came to the rest of the country. What fascinated Pai most was a quiz show for children. It fascinated him, that is, until a young boy was asked a question that turned Pai’s delight to consternation: They could answer every question about Greek mythology.
