The new editions have been released featuring regional folktales and local heroes reflecting regional diversity of the country like Lachit Borphukan, the Assamese leader who fought the Mughals. The editors are now paying due effort in understanding different version of the mythological stories and accommodating them into regional language versions too. Another criticism is that comic books, by their very nature, do not reflect the richness and complexity of the oral tradition of Indian mythology in which multiple versions of a story can co-exist simultaneously. Also, the aim is often to create a hagiography and a lesson in character-building at the expense of authenticity and historical truth. The publisher has released an all new series focusing on personalities belonging from the Muslim community like Razia sultan, Bacha Khan, renowned ornithologist Salim Ali and more.
The stories have often been criticised as distorted depictions of history, with characters being seen simplistically as 'good' and 'bad' – brave Hindu kings and Muslim 'outsiders', and so on.
