Comics in India haven’t achieved the same level of popularity as in America due to several factors:
- Cultural Differences: Indian storytelling traditions and preferences have historically leaned towards literature, films, and television, which often overshadowed comics.
- Market Saturation: The American comic industry has a long history and established characters with a broad appeal. In contrast, India’s comic industry is relatively young and fragmented.
- Distribution Challenges: Comics in India faced distribution issues and limited availability, affecting their reach and growth compared to the well-established distribution channels in the U.S.
- Economic Factors: Lower disposable incomes and varying spending habits have impacted the market for comics in India, where other forms of entertainment might be prioritized.
- Educational System: The Indian education system traditionally emphasized textbooks over comics, limiting early exposure to the medium.
Despite these challenges, comics are gaining traction in India with increasing interest and digital platforms expanding their reach.

Outdoor air pollution is a mixture of tiny dust-like particles and substances in the air that have the potential to negatively impact health. It can be artificial, such as fumes from vehicles or factories and smoke from burning fuels like wood or coal. But it also includes natural sources of pollutants, such as wind-blown dust, radon and ozone. Research on air pollution usually looks at the smallest particles, called ‘particulate matter.
Because air pollution contains a mixture of polluting particles, there are a few ways air pollution could cause lung cancer. For example, tiny particles may build up in the lungs and damage the DNA in cells. This can change how cells divide, which can lead to cancer.
Researchers are investigating how tiny particles may cause inflammation in the lungs that can lead to cancer. It has not been proven that air pollution causes other types of cancer.
