There are two means of expression. One is express and other is implied. Express mode is directly connected with “Language” while “Implied”mode is relpresented through “Presentation of Emotions”. Thus implied mode includes Dancing, Modeling, Acting and Picturization.Picturization incorporates Photography, Protrait as well as Cartoon work. Thus while resolving the message behind the cartoon we must have considerate emotional understanding just like a poet’feeling inspite of logical thinking with it’s literal meanings.Those emotions which can not be expressed by words as well as by conduct undre the pressure of certain legal and social obligations we express those feelings through “Cartoons” in terms of humer to give the “Message” to the society which is in public interest or for the entertainment of the grneral public.Thus we must judge the inention of the cartoonist and the hidden message behind the cartoon before going to comment over the cartoon. In my opinion the hidden message behind the disputed cartoon is that Baba Saheb was such a compitent authority at that time who gifted constitution to the nation while Pt.Nehru’s like other celebrities were simply his followers in that the sole gift. Thus Nation was represented by a “Dunky” because at that time the nation was quite innocent in the problem that what is the best ruling system for prosperious India and in this respect every top politicians and various leaders of that time admired him. Therefore Pt. Nehru who was one of the amongst such celebrities was shown as a fallower of Baba Saheb.Thus the cartoon recognizes the meritorius efforts of “Baba Saheb”. But now a days it has become a very easyiest common practice of certain leaders to gain cheep popularity among a particular group and for this purpose they create controversy by raising such “Issues” which were not controversial at the time of their origin.These leaders show to that group that they are only “Well-Wishers” for that group and by such activities they simply encash the sympathy of that particular group only for their voting mejority for gaining ruling power of the nation in their hands. In my opinion this is their sole object and they have nothing to do with the merit of the case.For this very reason the controversy has been created and in my opinion it must be condemed in terms of “Secularism” as well as “Freedom of Speech”. In terms of realism the said cartoon has no controversy in my opinion which is evident from the fact that no controversy was noticed from any side at the time of it’s origin and thus in the long run of time the so created controversy is simply manipulated to encash their self-interest by motivating the dead issue. Thus it is not a good sign for “Smooth and harmonic secularism” in a democratic country.
