    Thanks to @Gauri03 and @Rihana's direct clues, finally I got it. But this puzzle truly humbled me because the answer is the first one I pursued vigorously. Somehow, I have lost track and went to Connecticut and then towards Shankar Pillai and CBT.

    Picture = chitra
    Black Sun = Logo of Amar Chitra Katha
    Pi. Founder of Amar Chitra Katha was Anant Pai
    Calvin & Hobbes comics (also a nod to avatar of OP :) )

    Thanks to all for participating.
    I felt like an SSC teacher who sets question paper and prays all night that students do well. ​

    They did. :coffee

    Was waiting for the answer to ask this: how did you all import? Own old copies or bought new?

    Scientific answer? Bought new in India and lugged them here in a suitcase. Though you can buy them online these days. I had posted this image sometime back, but the puzzle brought it up again. That's about half of my current ACK collection. Made my parents bring it over from India.

    I'm not a big fan of the contemporary series - Kalpana Chawla, etc. etc. Love the old mythology and folktale series, especially the ones with multiple short stories that have a lesson, like the Panchtantra, Jataka tales and Buddhist fables.

    In #2216, I understood thermometer, Queen Elizabeth and Umrao Jaan. What is the third image? I just want to make sure my understanding is correct.

    Third image seems to be the symbol of one of India's religions. They came from outside India... Many of them live in Maharashtra, Gujarat and have interesting last names.
