In the ensuing chaos, fear, confusion and boredom, the publishers of Amar Chitra Khata have announced that they will give free access for 30-days to all their Comic Archives, reports News18.

Since all schools have been shut down and children have to stay indoors, this generous gesture is like a breath of fresh air. Amar Chitra Khata, who also publishes Tinkle comics, transcends generations of Indians who grew up reading such characters like Shikari Shambu, Suppandi and Tantri the Mantri.

If anyone wants a history lesson on Indian freedom movement, Amar Chitra Khata is a ready reckoner. They published stories of Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bagha Jatin, Lala Lapjpat Rai and Veer Savarkar and much more.
