Future Of Indie Graphic Novelists.

Firstly I want you guys to ask yourself

What comes to your mind when you think about Comics ?

( you can comment down below ).

I have Been grown around the generation of kids who used to find Old Phantom comics and Marvel comics that my uncles used to bring from Foreign Countries. But My taste in it Grew as when i Read the Watchmen series of a graphic novel which indeed brought me closer to Graphic novelist like Alan Moore who has been regarded as the Greatest Graphic Novel Writer. Alan was a Writer that would be an under Statement . He made me ask myself that when would i be able to read an amazing Novel from India . But that’s where i was slowed i never tried to Search for Artists in my own country Or was it that i was never introduced by any means that’s a question i ask myself .

But All Changed lately when while i was scrolling deadly through IG (Instagram) i cames accross an advertisment ” Sponsored Story ” when i searched i found i few alot of cummunity of Comic Book creators. they call themselves the @graphicindia  I followed then all But due to Life* couldn’t spend time. Exploring alot .

But all changed as when i went to a summit of MBIFL’19 As there was an Amazing pannel of Graphic Illustrator and Artist.

Morning 4:30 my alarm ring tone goes round I am partially awake and tried to get up blackout ** it’s 5: 00 I am awakened by my brother I jump out of bed thinking I screwed up

I rush into the bathroom as I am supposed to be at the bus stop by 5 30 I rushed up my shower and get ready by 5 20 and I slowly pack up my backpack consist of a hoodie, cam bag, battery + charger, book pen.

I am set to leave but my brother is still getting ready. we already lost a bus the next buss has 10 min to reach we slowly leave to the bus stand we wait for some time. the bus reaches we find Kishore too he was also late. we all get seated its around 6 30. we reach tampanoor railway station then we wait for everyone to arrive .as everyone reaches while we were at railway station we the cscf members, there are many of the members ill introduce each of them slowly

mainly the executives are Jaison John, Jyothybasu, Kumar Karinkulam, Jima Rose, Joby John if someone is left pls inform

around 7 00 the train reached all of them and the Cscf members got on to train we all got seats after a little time I found myself a seat and as I was alone I decided to snooze of a little and then as I was asleep others were sharing the notice templets we print to spread the word about Alapad issue and some more information regarding the fight Alappadians were fighting.

We reached Karunagapally Railway Station .. much everything are straight forward. we all got onto the bus to the city center. as we reached city we all were Hungry so we decided to have a little breakfast then also in between Jima rose along a member left to buy some stationaries for the banners and pluckcards. we all set off to bus stand and found a place to make our pluck card and banners

as our everyone enthusiastically participated in this crafty responsibility toi express the awarness about Alapadians

As soon as we finished we started out Awareness and Raising high our Pluck cards and Talking to people Regarding the issues we walked down to where more people could see us

we settled beside the main junction road and stood strongly whereas we came across many people with different opinions in support and also against and also spreading the word regarding the issue widely as our bus reached which would take us to the strike shed

we didn’t stop our proclamations while we were on the bus we still Continued to talk and spread the voice about it we were asked by many people regarding our act we peacefully got a response in support

We rechecked to the strike shed and we were received with warm applauds and worshiping eyes we were talked about a lot we received a lot of upraises

we met every one surrounded by it and heard their words with warm hearts we declared our support to the Alapaians who are our own brothers and we sang Coastal songs and pumped up the people who were participating in the strike and we received a lot of support from many of the people around and also there were amazing people who shared their knowledge regarding Alapad

then we were taken to the Mining site and we were given a tiny tour and also we saw in hand the excavation which was still continuing

we went back to the strike shed and we for the last time showered our love for them and we left as we had to get to railway station to reach back home e all were tired we stopped by a tea stall and had a teacup and left to the station we waited for the train and as the train reached we found no place to sit when we all took out our pluck card even though we were tired and also shared the notice.

and as we slowly got seats we settled down and as we reached back Trivandrum we were filled with a consolidating and a little proud for the help we did and we were also happy that we could do something for our Brothers and sisters.

Alappad’s Demons

This is all just a short report of us CSCF students going out to Alappad and understanding the situation alappadians are facing

A Short little explanation on how a coastal mining quarry can affect the ocean ecosystem and the community surrounding it

1. Land Degradation :

the main soul pourpose of a Sand mining quarry is to extract the minerals and extractable matirials and leave the
non useful part of the soil left back to the land .

2. destroying biodiversity

not only the lives of humans . Animals , birds , the very least spoken about and important microbials , and
coral life culture are affected due to the lack of habbitat and irregular soil particle

3. Acid Lakes

Due to the fumes and waste of machinery and the fuels and high concentration of useless impurities
a lake of acid is formed in the Quarry and damages the ecology around it.

4. Waste output to the ocean

like shown in the image above the the wastwe thate is left is being dumped into the ocean and affects
to the system of food chain i.e fishes and in a way affects us as when we consume fish.

5. natural disaster

the land sites form instability as for when the underground rocks and pillars are excavated and
creates a dipression in the region

in many cases, there have been reports of formation of sand dunes and also sand deposits

6. Social issues

social problems people loose generations of experience from the place. where the people who know their land
might not be able to experience a similar effect. Depression rises in the society as for the separation of the birth land
and also not being able to do the traditional culture.

7. Lose of jobs :

as the fish and the ocean ecology colapses the fisher community looses pleanty of jobs and this is for the citizens who have
dedicated thier lives for these scientifically accurate and efficiant procedures of fishing methodology . and the high end fisher
compaanies that have thier whole purpose is to distroy the nation prewailes .

8. Economically :


the price for the fishes would rise and add to the price rise of the middle class and common people ( and we will have to
pay a high price for the worst fishes).

These might not seem like a big difference for the people who are not affected by these but for the people who are affected by this
this plant would decide the fate of their future and their unique skills and unique knowledge

if allapad looses we all loose as a citizen of the country that couldn’t stand for its people .

Allapad #SAVEALAPPAD #STOPMINNING

You mi8 have been following up here as a citizen and as a person who got to witness Alappadian Fisher Societies fight for their
ri8 I believe I should share the experience and knowledge I received from visiting Allapad

Alappad is a coastal village in the Kollam district of the Indian state Kerala.
It is situated on a narrow strip of land sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the TS Canal –
the village is approximately 16 km long and its narrowest point is as thin as 33 meters.
Quote on Quote according to Wikipedia

But Alappad is much more than just land it is the birthplace of thousands if not millions of human souls
and People with dreams and people with a desire to be free from their daily fi8 for their human ri8

allapad has a population of 21,655 humans According to Wikipedia 2011.

Alappad has mostly fishing community and the sea dependent and they have already been taken that from them as the part of a mining project
and many government and social aspects.

all this information is just possible because of my voluntary activities in CSCF
that is an Organisation that studies and supports the students and people who are interested in researching the ocean and fisherman community
and are doing an amazing work with that enough about boasting my team but this wouldn’t have been possible without them

this is just an overview follow and get in touch and be a participant in this three part blog and consider following
