Every now and then, such messages get circulated and unsuspecting readers who believe these titles are put out by the company, download and read these. The accompanying passionate but sad message said that since ACK content is no longer available, this is the only way to enjoy these stories.

It was a Google Drive folder with almost 30 titles of ACK, scanned cover to cover. Last week, I received a forward on Whatsapp. So, why am I sharing all this with you? To sell more books? A PR piece? No. The new bestsellers include a fabulous six-part Ramayana series and titles like Saptarshi, Shakti, APJ Abdul Kalam, and Rama’s Ring, a beautiful book that contains lesser-known and rare stories from the epics. Nothing could be further from the truth! Each year, the ACK editorial team, headed by the amazing Reena Puri, an ACK legend in her own right (she has been with the company for nearly 30 years) creates about 25 brand new comics. Surprisingly, many people seem to think the company isn’t active anymore or that we are just re-printing/re-packaging old comics. Amar Chitra Katha is indeed a route to our roots. For so many Indians, including me, reading ACK comics is an irreplaceable childhood memory, with nearly our entire knowledge of Indian mythology and history coming from ACK. We know how much you love Amar Chitra Katha.
