Although graphic medicine has garnered considerable attention, it remains largely Eurocentric with contributions from the Global South frequently overlooked. Particularly, graphic medical narratives from India have been notably underrepresented in academic scholarship. Addressing this gap, this article examines graphic medical narratives from India through Ian Williams’s expansive definition of graphic medicine, which encompasses practices ranging from illness memoirs to educational comics, academic papers, gag strips, graphic reportage, and therapeutic workshops. Building on recent calls to“provincialize graphic medicine,”the article argues for repositioning the field beyond its Euro-American framework by situating it within the cultural and linguistic complexities of the Global South. Such an approach foregrounds questions of (un)translatability, cultural specificity, and formal/commercial differences. By mapping the diverse expressions graphic medicine takes in India, the article emphasizes the need to catalog creative practices, document publication histories, and develop systematic archives that preserve and critically engage the work of Indian graphic medical narratives. |
