Synopsis The eminent artist K. G. Subramanyan offers this wisely satirical reading of democracy gone wrong, and of the princess whose autocratic rule brought nothing but suffering to the people, despite her ambition of progress for the nation: important moral lessons simply and imaginatively told. In the mode of this graphic fables series, which treat important issues tellingly through a combination of fable, allegory and bold imagery, this book is as much a visual treat as a comment on the principles of democracy.
