Dar’s originals are reportedly owned by leading political figures and celebrities such as the Queen of England, Yehudi Menuhin, and Richard Attenborough among others. Indo-Asian News Service notes that even though his sketches were political in nature, Dar steered clear of satirising political developments and leaders. He continued to, however, direct jibes at the state of affairs, bureaucracy, and corruption in India. In 2000, Dar retired to continue working as a freelancer. He also illustrated his father Krishna Prasad Dar’s book, Kashmiri Cooking. Jayant Narlikar’s Journey Through the Universe also carried his cartoons. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
