This chapter reveals that cartoons are not just about seeing but also about the politics of seeing like a nationalist. Drawing upon a contemporary cartoons and their critics in India, this chapter explores demands for censorship from a variety of groups. It asks two questions. First, why are cartoons perceived as conspiratorial? Second, although constitutionally, the freedom of speech in India is restricted, how do demands for cartoon censorship from majoritarian groups, minoritized groups, and the state further complicate upholding this freedom of speech, a freedom integral to India’s democracy? Advancing the perspective that cartoons are a litmus test of our liberal, modern selves and moving beyond a cultural relativist framework, this chapter seeks answers by centering on offensive cartoons at the center of contempt and courage, and building on contemporary political debates in India.
