In Other Media
In 2008, The Sarai Programme at CSDS published a book as a part of Sarai Media Lab's "Research Project on Raj Comics and graphic novel culture in Delhi". That publication, available, for free, as a PDF from the Sarai website, has the following introductory text:
"Around the late 1980s when Indrajaal Comics was beginning to close shop and Amar Chitra Katha was printing re-runs, three brothers decided to open their own comic book publication house. In their quest for the Indian super hero, Raj Comics was born.
After 25 years of producing an entire universe of superheroes, Raj Comics is the largest comic book publishing house in India. They have published more than 5000 titles and are home to more than 20 characters."
Recently, Raj Comics has started using modern methods to promoting their comics, such as teaming up with major service providers like Vodafone and Airtel. Raj Comics has started 3D comics and will soon produce motion comics. Raj Comics` major projects include movie based on their superhero Doga. It is expected that Raj Comics` fan base will tremendously increase once the movie is released.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
