A witty look at the strange world of politics by our best-loved cartoonist
This exhilarating collection by R.K. Laxman takes a humorous look at the colourful personalities, peculiar codes of conduct and bombastic rhetoric that characterize the inimitable world of politics.
A Vote for Laughter contains a hundred of the classic Common Man cartoons that have to do with political subjects, from party meetings, election campaigns and VVIP movements to cabinet reshuffles, horse trading and foreign tours, not to forget the activity that for Laxman defines the Indian politician: the impulse to rush to the well of the House. These are accompanied by a hundred of the funniest jokes about politics and politicians, collected from all over the world.
A Vote for Laughter will entertain everyone who enjoys seeing the farcical streak in our contemporary politics, even as we take pride in being the largest democracy in the world.
