Today we celebrate the life and legacy of our Founder-editor, K. Shankar Pillai on his 123rd birth anniversary. His spirit lives, guiding us.

The doyen of India's political cartooning scene, K. Shankar Pillai turns 123 years today. His quill defined the era of the birth of our nation. He was a dreamer and his love for children left behind a lasting legacy in the shape of CHILDREN'S BOOK TRUST (CBT) established by him in 1957. Under this broad umbrella of CBT, Shankar launched several projects to tickle the imagination and creativity in children and offer them avenues for cultural exchange and expression that still stand as his legacy. His pet project, Children's World magazine, in its 58th year, is a testimony to his colossal ingenuity, creativity and vision. Join us in wishing our Founder-Editor on his 123rd birth anniversary.
