What happens when you create India's first Muslim superhero whose catchphrase is "Jai Shree Allah"?In this experimental conversation format moderated by Sahana Srikanth, Falah Faisal, creator of the comic series Musalman, reveals how humor can be more powerful than hatred in healing a polarized society, while seamlessly switching between his role as comic creator and embodying Musalman the superhero, who also joined the stage.Growing up in an India where neighbors shared biryani on Eid and burst crackers together on Diwali, Falah witnessed the slow disappearance of the multicultural fabric that once defined the country. Through his irreverent comics, he fights back, not with violence, but with wit, creating a superhero who is "equally offensive to everybody" while challenging every stereotype about faith, identity, and belonging.Discover how this unconventional creator uses "gonzo journalism" through comics to capture the essence of modern India and why he believes fiction can show us the way forward.This isn't just a story about comics, it's a masterclass in using creativity as activism and laughter as resistance. Falah Faisal is an Indian writer, comedian, and filmmaker known for creating Musalman, India's first Muslim superhero, and Falahdeen, a modern twist on the Aladdin story . His work blends satire, cultural commentary, and personal storytelling to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity.
