[[Webcomics]] have grown in popularity in [[India]] since the early 2000s. Early webcomics created by [[Indian people]] were written and illustrated by people abroad and focused primarily on the differences in culture the creators experienced. Later webcomics put a strong emphasis on [[social issues in India|social and political issues present in the country]], usually from a [[liberal politics|liberal]] perspective. Webcomics can reach large audiences in India when shared through [[social media]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Though webcomics have been a popular medium since the establishment of the [[World Wide Web]] in the early 1990s, the first Indian-centric webcomics started being published at the start of the 21st century. Early Indian webcomics, such as [[Sandeep Sood]]&#039;s 2003 webcomics &#039;&#039;[[Badmash]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Doubtsourcing&#039;&#039;, were primarily written by Indian people living outside of India. These webcomics expressed the stark differences in culture between India and the country of inhabitation.&amp;lt;ref name=s2010&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/deep-focus/Strip-tease-Indian-webcomics-make-a-mark/articleshow/6494318.cms|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|title=Strip tease: Indian webcomics make a mark|last=Arora|first=Kim}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Sreejita Biswas of &#039;&#039;[[Scroll.in]]&#039;&#039;, Indian webcomics were defined by &amp;quot;stick figures, unimpressive humour and banal writing&amp;quot; in 2010, but that webcomics of a few years later are of much higher visual quality and use the medium for more meaningful content. Among other things, Biswas noticed a change in focus from [[political discourse]] to an effort to spread [[social awareness]].&amp;lt;ref name=Scroll.in&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://scroll.in/article/802384/urls-of-mass-distraction-five-indian-webcomics-to-be-read-regularly|website=[[Scroll.in]]|title=URLs of mass distraction: Five Indian webcomics to be read regularly|last=Biswas|first=Sreejita}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Tarishi Verma of the &#039;&#039;[[Hindustan Times]]&#039;&#039; stated in 2016 that Indian webcomics are &amp;quot;coming into their own&amp;quot; due to the efforts of the young &amp;quot;social media-friendly&amp;quot; generation.&amp;lt;ref name=HindustanTimes&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/books/laughing-through-our-worries-the-indian-web-comics/story-e6RDl58hD3NGVTKiK5IF0K.html|newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]]|title=Laughing through our worries: The Indian web comics|last=Verma|first=Tarishi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Similarly, Jaideep Unudurti of &#039;&#039;[[The Hindu Business Line]]&#039;&#039; described India as going through digital comics &amp;quot;renaissance&amp;quot; in 2016.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/read/india-today-in-doodles/article8050656.ece|newspaper=[[The Hindu Business Line]]|title=India today, in doodles|last=Unudurti|first=Jaideep}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Economics==&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional [[comic books]] were a lucrative business in India until [[cable television]] became prominent in the early 1990s. [[Rahul Vikram]], creator of &#039;&#039;India 2047&#039;&#039;, described in an interview that he attempted to reach out to publishing companies to distribute his comic, but eventually realised he could save money and reach more people by releasing &#039;&#039;India 2047&#039;&#039; on the Web. Vikram also described interaction with readers as a &amp;quot;bonus&amp;quot;. Webcomics in India are greatly affected by [[Viral phenomenon|online virality]]: according to [[Arbit Choudhury|Hemantkumar Jain]], &amp;quot;the viral effect on websites like [[Twitter]] is strong [as] things get retweeted pretty fast and reach more people.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=s2010 /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Success of Indian webcomics is frequently measured by a [[Subscription business model|subscriber-count]], though the most prosperous webcomics display their status by selling merchandise such as prints, [[post cards]], and [[T-shirts]].&amp;lt;ref name=s2010 /&amp;gt; However, very few webcomic creators in India are able to do so professionally: most Indian webcomic creators work on comics in addition to working their day job.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/aneesha-bangera-on-the-on-the-new-and-radical-online-avatar-of-todays-comics/article8374575.ece|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|title=The new online avatar of today&#039;s comics|last=Bangeera|first=Aneesha}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Themes==&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|width=22%|&amp;quot;Most webcomics today are satires and the format is suited for it.&amp;quot;|–[[Shantanu Adhicary]]&amp;lt;ref name=s2010 /&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tarishi Verma of the &#039;&#039;Hindustan Times&#039;&#039; stated that the young generation of Indians use webcomics as a tool for &amp;quot;underlining their absurdity [of] current ills of Indian society.&amp;quot; Usually of a [[Satire|satirical]] nature and intended for adult audiences, Indian webcomics explore a variety of themes, such as &amp;quot;Indians and Indian-ness, [[Bollywood]], existential angst, politics and [[feminism]].&amp;quot; Many webcomics in the country are opposed to the [[status quo]] and existing unjust [[social norms]].&amp;lt;ref name=HindustanTimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, &#039;&#039;[[Crocodile in Water, Tiger on Land]]&#039;&#039; (2010) satirises [[Political sociology|socio-political-economic issues]] such as the [[2015 Bihar cheating scandal]]. Digital politics-researcher Sriram Mohan described the webcomic as progressive, liberal and pro-poor, saying that &amp;quot;it wasn&#039;t always so political. I really like it more now. It&#039;s certainly top of the pile.&amp;quot; Other webcomics, such as Rachita Taneja&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Sanitary Panels]]&#039;&#039;, specifically focus on [[Gender and webcomics|gender issues]] in the country. Many webcomic creators, including Taneja, follow the news closely so they can follow up on [[current events]].&amp;lt;ref name=HindustanTimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some Indian webcomics present traditional aspects of the country&#039;s culture. Meenakshi Krishnamoorthy&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Kinnari]]&#039;&#039; is highly influenced by Indian mythology, creating unusual spins on ancient literature. To involve foreign readers more, Krishnamoorthy incorporates footnotes explaining the source material of her comics.&amp;lt;ref name=Scroll.in /&amp;gt; [[Aarthi Parthasarathy]] and Kaveri Gopalakrishnan&#039;s &#039;&#039;Urbanlore&#039;&#039;, meanwhile, highlights the culture and history of urban Indian cities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/faces-of-the-city/|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|title=Urbanlore, a new webcomic series traces a changing urban India|last=Kumar|first=Shikha}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==American influences==&lt;br /&gt;
American webcomics such as &#039;&#039;[[Cyanide and Happiness]]&#039;&#039; have also found a large amount of popularity in India. &#039;&#039;Cyanide and Happiness&#039;&#039; co-writer Rob Denbleyker has noted that the webcomic&#039;s readership in India came as a surprise to him. DenBleyker has gone to multiple India-based [[comic book conventions]] since.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/City-in-pursuit-of-dark-humour-with-Cyanide-and-Happiness/articleshow/50082225.cms|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|title=City in pursuit of dark humour with Cyanide and Happiness|last=Arora|first=Kim}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/tech/deepali-moray/delhi-comic-con-2015-webcomics-make-it-easier-for-artists-to-get-their-work-noticed-14326-1172752.html|publisher=[[IBN Live]]|title=Delhi Comic Con 2015: Webcomics make it easier for artists to get their work noticed|last=Moray|first=Deepali}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; American works have influenced various Indian webcomics: Dalbir Singh created &#039;&#039;[[SikhPark]]&#039;&#039; based on the crude political humour of American television series &#039;&#039;[[South Park]]&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://mashable.com/2015/12/07/sikh-park-south-park/#U2vP7kAdv8qG|publisher=[[Mashable]]|title=India gets its own &#039;South Park&#039; with &#039;SikhPark&#039;|last=Joshi|first=Sonam}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and Aarthi Parthasarthy based the concept of &#039;&#039;[[The Royal Existentials]]&#039;&#039; on David Malki&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Wondermark]]&#039;&#039;, using [[Mughal painting|Mughal miniature paintings]] instead of [[Victorian art]].&amp;lt;ref name=HindustanTimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
