Nilanjana S Roy: The case for context
It is unreasonable to expect the Dalit community to not take offence at the cartoon of B R Ambedkar, drawn by the great cartoonist Shankar in 1949, withdrawn from NCERT textbooks by Indian members of Parliament earlier this month.
This is not because the cartoon is offensive, in its historical context. It depicts Ambedkar riding a snail, which represents the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution
