The Blaft Book of ANTI-CASTE SPECULATIVE FICTION features short stories in several subgenres (horror, cyberpunk, solarpunk, magical realism) and translated from several languages.... as well as a few #comics by Kunal Lokhande, Sumit Kumar, and Yeswanth Mocharla www.blaft.com/collections/...
A panel from Kunal Lokhande's comic "Sanatan Gaming". S. Sharma shouts at his laptop, which has an "Om" sticker: "Who is running this channel and how dare they claim my god's money??? @ITCELL" Sumit Kumar's comic -- On India's space station
"There was the space station washer... of course without any tether"
We see the Airlock Security Guard
"And they were put in special quarters made of old ISS capsules & shuttles"
DECADES LATER:  (Inside the spaceship)
Two astronauts discuss things as a kaamwali scrubs the floor
"I don't know man, I can't trust a quota astronaut blah blah blah"
"You know I'm SC-ST and blah blah blah BLAH! blah blah"
The maid says "Didi Paanv uthao"A panel from Yeshwant Mocharla's "Looly Cooly"
Anger makes my horns grow. My teeth become vampire fangs. My skin turns to flame. My voice becomes a death scream.
Every one of us Homo Raaks has this monster-anger characteristic. Some call it a trait. Others call it a boon. I call it a curse. It's the government's excuse for oppressing and enslaving us. And the weapon they use to do it is... "AVALANCHE"Anti-Caste SF front cover

This image captures a vibrant garden scene with a focus on a gray Mockingbird standing tall on the edge of a terra cotta colored bird feeder. It has grayish-brown feathers on its upperparts with a paler, grayish-white underside with a thin black bill, long legs, and a long tail. The bird is surrounded by lush green foliage and purple clematis flowers. An orange, yellow and green blown glass ball can be seen in the lower left corner.
