Grassroots Comics are different from the mainstream comics, These comics are made by common people themselves. These comics are photocopied and distributed to a limited area, which encourage local debate in the society. Grassroots Comics are inexpensive and method is not complicated, you just required a pen, paper and access to a copying machine to produce one.
What makes these comics different from professional material is the ownership of the content. The comics are pasted up in all possible locations i.e. village’s meeting place, bus stops, shops, offices, schools, on notice-boards and electricity poles or even on trees.
The campaign comics made by artists are not as close to reality as Grassroots Comics are. The local people understand their culture better. So the people are interested in what produced by their local activists or organizations locally.
The use of Grassroots Comics as a campaigning tool for organizations and people’s movement is a relatively new phenomenon and has been tested so far only in India, some other South Asian countries, in a few countries in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Asha, a character from the story Insaaf by Yusof Dominic (SEWA Pak, Mirpurkhas)
Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a research project for my BS degree in a foreign university. My topic is how the medium of comic literature is and can be utilized as a tool for globalization by educating masses and creating awareness among them on different social and religious issues, and hence, bridging the gap b/w various nations and cultures. It focuses on the immense scope and demand of comic literature, produced locally, in either the Islamic or underdeveloped countries of the third-world. Now, I just came across this blog for the first time and feel really sorry for finding it so late cos my submission deadline is within a week. I want to conduct a small 5-min survey and hope I'll be able to obtain a few answers.
