The creator of the Presidential Puppets is Ramdas Padhye of India. He and his sons represent the second and third generation of a famous family of Indian puppetmasters and ventriloquists, starting with Ramdas' father, the late Professor Y. K. Padhye, who used ventriloquism in his puppet acts as far back as 1920. In the photo, Ramdas is standing behind his creations, the Presidential Puppets.
