Learning from our Culture: Amar Chitra Katha & Tinkle Way by Ms. Preeti Vyas

About the program:

Tinkle and Amar Chitra Katha, the comics we grew up with that imparted a pool of historical and cultural knowledge taught us moral lessons in a lighter way. The best part about Amar Chitra Katha is that the authors were able to break down the extremely complex world of Indian mythology into easily readable stories, mirroring the ease with which our grandparents told us old stories. The iconic comics that were our best friends decades ago are still there for us while we self-isolate in lockdown.
