Amar Chitra Katha is a popular Indian comic book series founded in 1967 by Anant Pai. The series, which aims to teach Indian children about their cultural heritage, features stories based on religious legends, historical figures, folktales, and cultural stories. While the series has been praised for its contribution to promoting Indian history and mythology, it has also faced criticism for historical inaccuracies and the limited portrayal of India's rich oral traditions. The series has adapted to criticism by including stories from various regions and religions, as well as featuring more diverse characters.
