A die-hard patriot, Kurien was committed to the co-operative cause. It is the story of Operation Flood, the 'billion-litre idea' that set India on the top of the world map for milk production.

He put the milk industry in the hands of the farmers, believing firmly that with ownership would come responsibility and great success. The story of Dr Kurien is the story of Amul.

Although the cruelty is mostly inadvertent, and the perpetrators make amends for their misdeeds, the story remains intensely haunting for the way it captures the complexity of a social reality through strikingly simple visuals. The theme of compassion spills over into the other tale in the collection, Budhi Kaki, which recounts the woes of an aged aunt, neglected by the very family she entrusts her property to, in return for care and attention in the winter of her life. In spite of the latent violence and their brush with near death, their adventure finds a happy resolution, and reminds us that even the mutest of creatures have enough of an agency to cause havoc among their more evolved counterparts. The illustrations in the ACK version, based on the ligne claire (clear line) style, captures the playful energy of the two beasts. In Do Bael, a morality tale about a pair of cattle, Premchand conveys a message of kindness towards animals. The idea is to not only make classic tales available in as many languages as possible but also to encourage and evolve a readership in the vernacular languages.Īlthough primarily known of its championing of mythological and historical texts, ACK has, over the years, branched into biography of personalities as diverse as mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, hockey-player Dhyan Chand and Verghese Kurien, the man who was responsible for the white revolution in India.
