| Popis: | The emergence of alternative media doesn't mean that it is there to compete with the mainstream press. This is not at all about quantity, but about quality and participation, about active citizenship, awareness, different perspectives, and most importantly, about the democratization of media. To get space in newspapers the marginalized community used the medium of comics to raise their voice. These alternative media will go hand in hand with the mainstream media to remind them of the issues involved and the silent masses, and so we need to take comics seriously. This paper will examine the role of comic to break the boundaries of literacy and language and use of comic art for increasing literacy and awareness and to raise the social issue in rural India. |
