    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book explores the remarkable ability of political cartoons in the region to craft and preserve an alternative narrative by employing the potent tool of political humor. Over the centuries, political humor, delivered through satire, caricature, ridicule, or irony, has been a powerful instrument for scrutinizing the establishment and unveiling the shortcomings and absurdities within society. In this book, the author delves into the meaning-generational structures utilized by political cartoons to amplify the underlying political-socio-cultural ideologies. It also investigates the pivotal role of political humor in shaping and defining the discourse in Kashmir. This book sheds light on the enduring impact of satire and caricature as instruments for not only commenting on contemporary issues but also for creating and sustaining a collective memory that reflects the complex sociopolitical dynamics that have characterized Kashmir throughout its history.
