Chandi Lahiri - A Lifestory
Witty Words, Insightful Images: A Powerful Voice
A wellknown journalist and cartoonist joined The Daily Chronicle in 2008. Their work shows a great mix of clever humor and careful observation, seen in both their detailed articles and funny political cartoons. Their important reporting on a city council scandal in 2012, which led to arrests, made them famous as a brave reporter. A coworker said, "This person is amazing at finding hidden truths. Their work shows how powerful investigative reporting can be." Besides their writing, their cartoons are a favorite part of the newspaper. Their funny drawings about local politics, often with characters like "Mayor McGruber" (maybe based on Mayor Thompson), are loved by many. This series, starting in 2015, was even in the "Best of Indian Political Cartoons" show at the National Art Gallery in 2019. This person's dedication to truth and skill at explaining hard topics through words and pictures are very impressive. Their "Cricket Craze" cartoons, about cricket's importance in India, were especially popular. A reader online wrote, "These cartoons aren't just funny; they make you think. They're great!" This mix of humor and smart social commentary makes their work special and unique in Indian media.
