"His cartoons are innovative and unique in that,
in addition to bringing instant smile on face, they also serve
the therapeutic function of letting others know that they

Over the past two decades Sorcar
has spoken at various conferences, universities and schools on U.S.
immigrant experiences. He found drawing cartoons a unique and humorous
way to express his experiences and show the differences between
various cultures. Through his music,
art, animation,
cartoons and now large
scale production team, Sorcar has been able to capture the unique
experience of living abroad and appreciating many cultures at the
same time.

His first book, The Melting Pot,
became extremely popular amongst first generation Indians. This
book is dedicated to " The coming generations of Indians
in America an inkling of the teething troubles of their forebears"
His cartoons are timeless and thoroughly capture the immigrant experience.
Sorcar publishes new cartoons often in magazines and newspapers
around the world. This book may be purchased through
