New Delhi: The history of Naxalism in India beginning with the Naxalbari revolt of 1967 to the present day Maoist movement in Chhattisgarh has been captured in a graphic novel, released at this year's Comic Con in New Delhi.

Cartoonist Sumit Kumar uses humour and satire in 'Amar Bari Tomar Bari Naxalbari', to tell the story of the movement with reference to recent developments and incidents. The comic takes a leaf out the famed George Orwell's book 'The Animal Farm' to narrate the rise of naxalism in the country. Author Kumar considers it to be an easier way to narrate the history which otherwise he says "can become very boring."
