Hi Nivedhita,
Superb cartoons from RK Laxman.
This is what he said when he got Padma Vibhushan:
Quote
Renowned cartoonist R K Laxman, who has been conferred with this year's Padma Vibhushan, today said he was both happy and satisfied that his "work has been recognised".
"It is a prestigious award and is the result of years' of efforts that I have put in since childhood".
"The award proves that in a democracy like ours, satire and humour are well appreciated", he added.
On the factors that had contributed to his success, he said, "The key factor was that I began at the right time during the post independence era. The new government provided ample material for ideas".
"I also believe in a lot of discipline and have never ignored my work. I work even when I am ailing", he said.
On whether the award would make any difference to his work, he said, "What difference can it make? The award has come because of the work that I have put in. I have always believed in improvising my work and in putting greater efforts in whatever I do".
