Has this article about the genesis of this popular comic series: The idea and proposal for Amar Chitra Katha was made by a Bangalore book salesman called G.K. The above is an oft-told story of how ACK was founded beginning with 'Uncle Pai', in Mumbai in 1967. The first Indian comic done and released in ACK was Krishna (serial number #11). Īfter quitting Indrajal Comics, Anant Pai started Amar Chitra Katha (ACK) by buying the rights for 10 American fairy tales such as Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, Jack and the Beanstalk and Pinocchio. It so happened that a quiz contest aired on Doordarshan in February 1967, in which participants could easily answer questions pertaining to Greek mythology, but were unable to reply to the question "In the Ramayana, who was Rama's mother?". He was shocked that Indian students could answer questions on Greek and Roman mythology, but were ignorant of their own history, mythology and folklore. The comic series was started by Anant Pai in an attempt to teach Indian children about their cultural heritage.
The company was founded in 1967 by Anant Pai and is headquartered in Mumbai. Most of its comics are based on religious legends and epics, historical figures and biographies, folktales and cultural stories.
