‘Sanitary Panels would not have been possible without the Internet’: Rachita Taneja, creator of the webcomic and co-winner of the Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award

Published : May 28, 2024 18:49 IST - 5 MINS READ Rachita Taneja uploaded the very first strip of her now celebrated cartoon, Sanitary Panels, on Facebook in 2014—it was about the newly sworn-in Narendra Modi government’s crackdown on dissenters. Since then, Sanitary Panels’ characteristic stick figures have poked fun at hypocrisies of all kinds, across politics, culture, Bollywood. Recently, the 32-year-old Bengaluru-based artist’s talent was officially recognised when she was jointly awarded the biennial Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning award, alongside Hong Kong’s Zunzi. When I started making Sanitary Panels at the age of 21-22, there weren’t too many female political cartoonists in India.
