B. M. Gaffoor - the Founder-Member and Torch-Bearer of the BMG Business Group, stands out as the most renowned and well revered cartoonist and caricaturist, hailing from Kerala, and reckoned as a giant and leader, amongst the contemporary colleagues of his time. He has involved himself in the field of art, for more than 40 years in his life time. The sole eminence of being the first Indian to produce Animated Political Serials in India, goes to none other than BMG. The serial entitled 'BeeYem Gaffoorinte Akamporul' that was telecast in Asianet earlier, proved to be a big success. BMG was the first Indian ever to venture to conduct a Political Cartoon Exhibition in the Middle East, besides several others in India and abroad. He had also worked for editorials, namely Gulf News, Deshabhimani, and Chandrika. He served as the Chief Editor of Niramala in the year 1973, as also Cut-Cut Magazine. From 1980 to 2003, he was the Chief Cartoonist of Mathrubhumi, until his sad demise on the 13th of November, 2003. His mantle is now taken on by his successors at BMG. |
