The Donkey Rider

Death Penalty

In the beginning, the donkey rider was just a man. Until one day, they exiled him, sending him away with all their sins on his back. But he remained in their memory, and over time, the man of flesh became a legend, a figure of mud.

A Penguin India graphic novel by Rai, based on groundbreaking research by The Square Circle Clinic. Out in November 2026.
