Mario Miranda, the famed cartoonist, was from which country?

Mário João Carlos do Rosário de Brito Miranda (2 May 1926 – 11 December 2011), popularly known as Mario Miranda or Mario de Miranda, was an Indian cartoonist and painter based in Loutolim in the Indian state of Goa.

Miranda was born in Daman, then in Portuguese India, to Catholic parents. At an early age, he would draw caricatures and sketch on the walls of his home, until his mother brought him a blank book. Mario Miranda's early cartoons presented vignettes of Goan village life, a theme he is best known for even today. He would maintain diaries from the age of 10, sketching the life around him.

Miranda had been a regular with The Times of India and other newspapers in Mumbai, including The Economic Times, though he got his popularity with his works published in The Illustrated Weekly of India. He was awarded India's second-highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2012.
