Ideal Boy, An: Charts from India

By Sirish Rao, Gita Wolf, V. Geetha

Book Overview

A uniquely illuminating and hugely entertaining survey of a fascinating Indian phenomenon '" Charts. Covering every imaginable subject these charts are found throughout India. Intended primarily as educational material, they also act as guides to morality and correct social behaviour and offer marvellous cautionary tales. Wonderfully unclassifiable, echoing naive art and kitsch, Ideal Boy presents an hilariously random carnival of information.
