We've all spent hours poring over comics, movies, cartoons and merchandise of assorted superheroes all through our childhood. But how many of them were Indian? Artist Rajkamal Aich decided to change the situation. Over the last year, he has brought to us many, many superheroes from an Indian context. What started as a fun project of Indianising existing characters, soon took shape into a completely original series of artwork. Here are just a few of the characters we're totally in love with.

9. Kaju Katli

Kedarnath Kamal Kishore Pandey, a small sweetshop owner who specialised in Kaju Katlis, lost his spirit when fancy malls and bakeries killed his business. Now, he strikes incognito as Kaju Katli, attacking all Indians who forget the glory of Indian sweets in favour of cakes, pastries and all things fancy. Beware!

10. Culture Man

Probir Guho, an ordinary ghost tortured by the degenerate culture of the times, has taken it upon himself to reform the society and instill some knowledge into our "instagram obsessed minds." His modus operandi? A whack on the head with a thick book.
