Bhimayana
''Bhimayana: Incidents in the Life of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar'' is a graphic biography of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar published in 2011 by Navayana and was hailed by CNN as being among the top five political comic books. It was created by artists Durgabai Vyam, Subhash Vyam and writers Srividya Natarajan and S. Anand. It depicts the experiences of caste discrimination and resistance that Bhimrao Ambedkar recorded in his autobiographical illustrations, later compiled and edited in ''Babasaheb Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches'' by Vasant Moon under the title “Waiting for a Visa”. It is one of India’s top selling graphic books.
Bhimayana has been lauded for its use of Pardhan Gond art to signify the experiences of social discrimination faced by Ambedkar. It uses digna (images originally painted on the walls and floors of Pardhan Gonds’ houses) patterns and nature imagery. According to Jeremy Stoll, affiliate faculty at Metropolitan State University of Denver, ‘It is most remarkable for demonstrating the strength of Indian comics culture and providing a strong example of where folk and popular culture overlap’.〔Jeremy Stoll. 2012. “Bhimayana: Experiences of Untouchability: Incidents in the life of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.” Journal of Folklore Research Reviews. http://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/jfrr/article/view/3406/3173〕
It has been published under the title ''Ambedkar: The Fight for Justice'' in the UK and the United States by Tate Publishing in 2013.〔http://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/blogs/ambedkar-fight-justice-new-graphic-novel〕 The book has been translated into several languages including Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Korean and French.
==Background==
Bhimayana is based on incidents narrated in B.R. Ambedkar’s autobiographical notes. These notes were written in 1935 with the objective of disseminating information about the practice of untouchability to foreigners. He documented events from his own life and others’ to provide an idea of the caste discrimination against dalits that is sanctioned under Hinduism. Navayana published them as ''Ambedkar: Autobiographical Notes'' in 2003.
