Hyderabad is several cities in one, cities which are contradictory and complementary, cities which extend and exist in dislocations of space and time.
The Hyderabad Graphic Novel Project is part of Yugantar’s ‘Archive Hyderabad’ initiative. Our attempt is to capture the stories and images of Hyderabad – to approximate a ‘Memory of the City’ and create an archival clearing house.
The Hyderabad Graphic Novel project is the brainchild of Jasraman Grewal and Jai Undurti of Yugantar, a Hyderabad-based NGO.
In our concept note, we called Hyderabad a city in argument with itself. We hope to produce a narrative incorporating lived, fictitious, and historical stories about and from the city of Hyderabad.
If you like what you have seen so far do join our Facebook Page.
Hey Jasraman and Jai,
We’ve posted information about the Hyderabad Graphic Novel Project on our blog:

Thanks Maya, for the post; also note that this is just a teaser, and actually has very little to do with the main project – it was something to get people interested.

Mr Jaideep Unudurti,
I chanced to read your commentary on the 12th World Championship game between Anand and Topalov. It was very entertaining and great prose too. Well done! Please accept my sincere appreciation and best wishes for your success in all your efforts.

Hey Jai and Jasraman,
I was going through your project and it seems quite interesting. I was wondering if one could apply to be part of this project in some editorial or research-related capacity.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks Ria

Neel, our aim is to have 100% of our content 100% free – so you’ll see new material here as we release it. Join our Facebook Page to be part of the discussion and check out previews etc. As for a book version, we are “in talks” as they say. An excerpt will be out in a major Indian anthology shortly.
