The Lutyens Patriots: In a Comic

Just as how in our routine lives, adversity is the surest test of a person’s value system, so is war the surest test of a citizen’s commitment to the country. Presenting a comic strip of the Lutyens Patriots in the wake of India’s brilliant counteroffensive against Pakistan for their misadventure in Pulwama.

Just to set the record straight, the Lutyens elite are patriots for sure. Of Pakistan. These are some of the most committed devotees of the Idea of India. The Idea of India is that there is no India.
