Naren Ray (1940 – 24 July 2003) better known as Sufi, was an Indian cartoonist with a career spanning nearly five decades, during which time he published political as well as children's cartoons in prominent Bengali magazines and newspapers.
His role as a political cartoonist earned him more ire than dividends, while his work as a strip cartoonist was unique.
His cartoons were followed by generations of Bengali middle-class people without ever knowing his true identity.
He was a regular contributor to Shankar's weekly, published by political cartoonist K.
Shankar Pillai.
Even though his works appeared exclusively in Bengali-language print media, his work had uniquely close ties to the leftist movement, rendering his drawings and ideas peerless.
