Bankelal

Bankelal was created by Jitendra Bedi, and first appeared in 1987 in the comic book ‘Bankelal Ka Kamaal’ (‘Wonders of Bankelal’) .

The story begins from Rampur village Where lived a farmer named Nanku and his wife Gulabati. One day when Nanku was sleeping gulabati was worshiping Lord shiva. Then Shiva sitting on Mount Kailash hears the sound of Gulbati then Parbati told to shiva who is she Worship you every day at this time. Shiva told Parvati she is my true priest Gulabati. Parbati said I want to meet her then shiva and Parvati appears in front of gulabati. Gulbati said to Lord, life became successful after getting your darshan. If you wish, give me the boon of having a son. Then Shivaji leaves after giving blessings. Gulabati said to Nanku that god shiva blessed me with a son. After some months gulabati give birth to a baby called “ Bankelal”. After 8 years Parvati said to shiva I want to meet that child that was born with your blessing. The next day they went to gulabati house Gulbati quickly goes into the room and thinks that there is nothing in the house to eat what should I give to lord shiva? There is nothing, I just heat the milk and give it to the Lord. At the same time, Bankelal comes into the room and he catches a frog and gives into the milk, and the gulabati does not see all this. When milk is given to Lord Shiva, a frog comes out of it. Shiva gets angry at this and grants him the boon of being mischievous for life. Then gulabati and Parvati both said to lord shiva to forgive him then shiva told that may not forgive but I will reduce its effect and Whatever mischief Bankelal will do, others will get a lot of benefit and bankelal too. One day when Bankelal was going somewhere, a plant appeared in front of him bankelal thought I would uproot the plant as he kicked the plant, gold came out of it and two thieves saw this then bankelal ran from there thieves also run after him. Then the thieves saw two guards and they stopped then two guards catch the thieves and presented them in front of the king. After interrogating him, the king takes away the stolen goods. On the second day, the king tells everyone that because of Bankelal, all the stolen goods were found, And from this goods, I’m giving to bankelal 10 percent of good. 

Now we’ll talk about the powers of bankelal:- Bankelal seems extremely stupid but he possesses a mind of a devil, always planning mischief. But due to the”blessed” curse placed on him, every bad that he wants to do turns out to be good, turning the odds in his favor. Other than that, he has nothing, not even a good face, and only a silly Charlie Chaplin-styled mustache and his two bucked teeth coming out when he screams or when he laughs. The good thing is that his every misdeed (mischief) acts as a funny tickle bone for the readers.
