R.K. Laxman, el conocido dibujante indio cuyas caricaturas aparecieron en The Times of India en más de 50 años, murió ayer día 26 de enero a los 94 años. La tira cómica de Laxman satirizaba la vida india y sus politicos a través de los ojos del "hombre corriente", un observador silencioso que decía "representar a todos los indios". Estaba ingresado en el hospital desde el 17 de este mes con múltiples fayos orgánicos según informaron sus doctores. El Primere Ministro Narendra Modi le rindió homenaje, diciendo que "India te echará de menos". "Estamos agradecidos a ti por añadir el necesario humor a nuestras vidas y siempre traes sonrisas a nuestros rostros," Modi tweeted. Laxman nació el 24 de October de 1921 en la sureña ciudad de Mysore y comenzó a dibujar a los cinco años. India le concedió el Padma Vibhushan, la segunda condecoración civil más importante del país, en 2005, y en 2001 una estatua de bronce del "common man" fue erigida en la ciudad de Pune.
R.K. Laxman, the
renowned Indian cartoonist whose sketches appeared on the front page of
The Times of India for more than five decades, died Monday aged 94.
Laxman's cartoon strip satirised Indian life and politics through the
eyes of the "common man", a silent observer who he said "stands for all
Indians".
He suffered multiple organ failure after being admitted to hospital on
January 17, his doctors told the Press Trust of India news agency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the tributes, saying "India will miss
you".
"We are grateful to you for adding the much needed humour in our lives
& always bringing smiles on our faces," Modi tweeted.
Laxman was born on October 24, 1921 in the southern city of Mysore and
began sketching when he was only five.
India gave him the Padma Vibhushan, the country's second highest
civilian award, in 2005, and in 2001 an eight-foot-tall bronze statue of
the "common man" was unveiled in the southern city of Pune.
The bespectacled cartoonist had stopped drawing a few years earlier due
to ill health.
