C.S. Lakshmi, director of SPARROW, on why she started Project Maya.
"I found Maya's cartoons extremely refreshing with an unusual sense of humour. I had thought that I would interview her one day for SPARROW. The news of her death came as a great shock and for a while I gave up hope of archiving all her works. But since I don't give up so easily, I contacted her daughter and continued to correspond with her to get the project going. SPARROW's exhibition on Maya's cartoons, we felt, was a fitting tribute to Maya for we felt that her cartoons needed to be seen and appreciated by many. The book SPARROW has brought out with more than a thousand cartoons of Maya, I hope, will place her among the top most cartoonists of India for that is what she was."
