The cartoonist was K Shankar Pillai—Shankar to a nation that would later grow up laughing at his lines in the Shankar’s Weekly. Now, Shankar had lampooned the Viceroy in a cartoon. In British India where sedition laws were not theoretical and press freedoms were conditional, such an invitation could have meant censure, or worse.
