It's been more than two decades since Amar Chitra Katha became the reason why children all over the country remember the brave Pandavas and the devoted Hanuman. Known to at least two generations of Indians as Uncle Pai, he showed millions of Indians a way to connect with their roots. Two days before his demise, Anant Pai won the first Lifetime Achievement Award at the first Indian Comicon (Comic Convention) held in New Delhi. He is mourned by a nation that grew up on these beautifully illustrated and ingeniously crafted comics. The man behind the Amar Chitra Kathas and Tinkles of our childhood passed away on February 24, 2011. A twitter update said, “RIP Uncle Pai! I learned more from you than from my textbooks, AND you made it fun!”
