In the vast universe of Raj Comics, ‘Bhediya’ is a character who is known not only for his physical strength but also for his deep emotions and his dedication toward the forest. The comic ‘Bheel’ is such a powerful story of this hero, which takes the reader into the dense forests of Assam, where the meaning of law and justice is completely different from the world of cities.
This story begins with an old and true law of the forest—man is afraid of wild animals and takes up arms for his own protection, but many times nature and its protectors do not even give him a chance to use weapons. Through this beginning, writer Tarun Kumar Wahi has laid the foundation of an adventure in the mind of the reader, which continues for the next 60 pages. The main center of the story is the ‘Bheel’ tribe, which has been famous for its mysterious powers, knowledge of herbs, and unmistakable shooting for centuries. This tribe is not just part of the forest, but considers itself the real king of the forest, after which comes the lion.
Kobi’s arrival and first confrontation with the Bheel tribe
The real momentum in the story comes when another form of Bhediya, ‘Kobi’, enters the Bheel tribe area. According to the rules of the Bheel tribe, whoever hunts the rare ‘Suaku’ (four-toothed wild boar) is entitled to become the next chieftain of the tribe. But Kobi, who thinks of himself as the sole owner of the forest, challenges this achievement of the Bheel warriors.
Here Kobi’s ego and the self-respect of the Bheel warriors come face to face. This confrontation between Kobi and the Bheels is not just a struggle of strength, but of two different ways of thinking and claims of authority over the forest. The Bheel warriors attack Kobi with their horses and spears, but Kobi’s divine power and swift agility defeat them in a moment. Painter Dheeraj Verma has created these war scenes so beautifully that the reader can literally hear the sound of spears and the hooves of horses.
Sardar Kubaku: The dangerous combination of power, mechanism and greed
The main villain of this comic is Sardar Kubaku, a very cruel and powerful leader of the Bheel tribe. Kubaku has a mysterious ornament named ‘Mundamalini Mala’, which gives him immense tantric powers. Kubaku is not just a warrior, but he is also knowledgeable about Tantra-Mantra. When he understands that it is not possible to defeat Kobi with normal weapons, he uses his superpowers.
Kubaku’s character shows greed and hunger for power. He does not just want to secure his rights by killing Kobi, but also wants to gain Bhediya’s powers. The attempt to kill Kobi by tying him to a ‘Chakral’ (a giant spinning wheel) is extremely scary and full of thrill. This scene shows that even primitive tribes have their own separate worlds of mechanism and mystery, which can be equally effective and dangerous.
The internal duel of Bhediya and Kobi and the call to defense
The most emotional part of the story appears in the relationship between Bhediya and Kobi. Bhediya, who has human sensibilities, always tries to control Kobi’s violent nature. But when Kobi gets caught in the trap of the Bheels and comes close to death, Bhediya’s heart becomes restless.
Bhediya realizes that Kobi may be violent, but he is a vital part of his existence. Bhediya sets out with his mentor Fujo and his partner Jane to rescue Kobi. Here Bhediya’s unease and his loyalty to Kobi make the story sentimental. Bhediya attacking the Bheel settlement and risking his life to rescue Kobi shows that for a true hero, the defense of his people is supreme.
Mysterious Mundamalini Mala and divine transfer of powers
As the story moves toward its peak, the mystery of ‘Mundamalini Mala’ deepens. This garland was a source of strength for Kubaku, but becomes the greatest threat to Kobi and Bhediya. Kubaku also roots out Bhediya’s wolf army with the power of this garland.
There comes a moment on the battlefield when Kubaku decapitates Kobi with his mace. This scene shocks any reader. Kobi’s death before Bhediya’s eyes throws him into the fire of vengeance. But the biggest twist of the story lies here. Kubaku thinks he has won, but the divine powers have their own rule. It emerges that the authority of the divine powers can only be given to the one who defeated ‘Suaku’, and the real winner was Kobi.
Kobi’s rebirth and the apocalypse of evil
Kobi’s re-survival in the final scenes becomes one of the most memorable moments in the comics world. The divine powers choose Kobi as their master instead of Kubaku, as Kobi had unknowingly conquered that sacred rule of the Bheels (Suaku’s victim). Kobi’s head reconnects, and he emerges more powerful than ever.
Kubaku’s defeat is not just his physical death, but also the end of his ego and mis-acquired powers. Together, Kobi and Bhediya bring the Bheel tribe back from their wrong path. Finally, Bhediya’s finding of Kobi’s body and thinking that Kobi is his brother or his own part gives the story a darker and thought-provoking ending.
Portrait and Artistry: Dheeraj Verma’s Masterstroke
If we do not talk about the artwork in this review, it will remain incomplete. Dheeraj Verma’s art style has taken this comic to a different level. The physical appearance of the characters, especially the bulging muscles of Kobi and Bhediya’s facial expressions, look extremely impressive. The background of the forest, the structure of the trees, and the atmosphere of the Bheel settlement are shown in such detail that the reader starts feeling himself a part of the same forest.
The choice of colors (by Sunil Pandey) matches perfectly with the mood of the story. The use of pink and golden light to show tantric powers makes the scenes more mysterious. Each frame tells a story in itself and keeps the reader’s eyes on it for a long time.
Dialogue and editing: words that give life to the story
Tarun Kumar Wahi’s dialogues are short but effective. The language of the Bheel warriors shows a kind of strictness, which reflects their tribal nature well. The dialogues between Bhediya and Fujo are full of experience and understanding. At the editing level, Manish Gupta has not allowed the flow of the story to slow down anywhere. From beginning to end, the story moves in a rhythm.
The customs and rules of the Bheel tribe have been explained in a very simple manner through dialogues, which makes it easier for the reader to understand this new world.
Conclusion: A classic work of Raj Comics
‘Bheel’ is not just a superhero comic, but it is a powerful story of courage, loyalty, and divine justice. It teaches us that misuse of power ultimately leads to destruction and that nature never leaves its protectors alone. This courageous feat of Bhediya and Kobi will always be remembered in the history of Raj Comics.
This is a must-read for readers who love mysterious folklore and stories of heroism. Every page of this comic takes the reader on a new exciting journey, where new mysteries and new challenges emerge at every turn. In the end, this story is not just a hero’s victory, but a victory for the old system of the jungle that we know as ‘Bheel’.
