==Controversy==
In 2011, Vijay Rupani [[Hindu Undivided Family|HUF]] entity sold shares worth about {{INR}} 35000 in Sarang Chemicals in a single transaction which were purchased in 2009 at about {{INR}} 63000, making a loss. The [[SEBI]], the regulator, had charged 22 entities, including Vijay Rupani HUF, for "manipulative trades" by [[pump and dump]]. In November 2017, the SEBI issued [[ex parte]] order imposing a penalty of {{INR}} 1500000 to Vijay Rupani HUF for creating misleading appearance in the stocks. Vijay Rupani HUF said that the penalty was imposed without giving opportunity to be heard. The SEBI said that the entity had failed to file reply to their [[show cause notice]] in time. Later the Securities Appellate Tribunal set aside the penalty order and asked the SEBI to issue fresh order and hear all the entities.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/politics/sarang-chemicals-case-sat-asks-sebi-to-hear-all-parties-before-decision-117110901501_1.html|title=SAT asks Sebi to hear all parties before decision in Sarang Chemicals case|last=Choudhary|first=Shrimi|date=2017-11-09|work=Business Standard India|access-date=2017-11-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thewire.in/195631/sebi-fines-gujarat-cm-rupanis-huf-manipulative-trading/|title=Rupani Case: SAT Asks SEBI to Hear All Parties Before Decision|last=Choudhary|first=Shrimi|website=thewire.in|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-11-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/no-wrongdoing-in-transactions-vijay-rupani/article20085839.ece|title=No wrongdoing in transactions: Vijay Rupani|date=2017-11-10|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-11-17|others=Special Correspondent, Special Correspondent|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

==History==
The history of the town of Sagar dates back to about 1660 AD, when Udan Shah, a descendant of Nihal Shah, built a small fort where the present one sits and founded a village close to it called Parkota Sagar. The present fort and a settlement under its walls was founded by Govind Pant Bundele, an officer of the [[Baji Rao I|Peshwa Bajirao I]], who controlled Sagar and the surrounding territory after 1735 when it came under the Peshwa's possession.
In 1818, the greater part of the district was ceded by the Peshwa Baji Rao II to the British Government, while the remainder of the present district of Sagar came into the possession of the British between 1818 and 1860. Thereafter in 1861, the Saugor and Nerbudda territories (along with the Nagpur state) formed a Commissioner's Province called Central Provinces.
Sagar was the headquarters of the Sagar Commissionership for a short period until 1863-64 when this district was incorporated with Jabalpur Commissionership. In the year 1932, the district of Damoh was added to Sagar district and was administrated as Sub-Division. In 1956, however, Damoh Sub-Division was again separated from the district to form a separate district and Sagar district consisted of four tehsils viz, Sagar, Khurai, Rehli, Banda.

After a brief posting to South Africa from December 1931 to August 1932, he was appointed as a full secretary in the Department of Education, Health and Lands,<ref name="bajpai"/> and was knighted as a Knight Commander of the [[Order of the British Empire]] (KBE) in the 1935 Birthday and Silver Jubilee Honours List.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=34166 |date=31 May 1935 |page=3612 |supp=y |nolink=y}}</ref> In March 1940, Sir Girija was appointed as one of the six members of the [[Viceroy's Executive Council]], the colonial version of a Cabinet, having previously served as a temporary member of the council from 1935 to 1936.<ref name="bajpai"/><ref>{{London Gazette |issue=34831 |date=16 April 1940 |page=2252 |supp= |nolink=y}}</ref> In October 1941, he was appointed the [[Agent-General]] (roughly equivalent to an ambassadorial post) to the USA for India.<ref name="bajpai"/> He was appointed a Knight Commander of the [[Order of the Star of India]] (KCSI) in that year's Birthday Honours List.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=36033 |date=28 May 1943 |page=2420 |supp=y |nolink=y}}</ref>

Sir Girija was known for his ethics, oratory, strong will and far-reaching vision. It is said he warned Prime Minister Nehru about the potential for a Chinese invasion more than a decade before it happened.<ref name=Outlook>{{cite web|last=Bajpai|first=K.S.|title=Weightlifting|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?262753|publisher=Outlook Magazine|accessdate=28 October 2012}}</ref><ref name=Letter>{{cite news|title=Letter from Deputy Prime Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to Prime Minister Jahawarlal Nehru|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20121016/edit.htm#7|accessdate=28 October 2012|newspaper=The Tribune|date=16 October 2012}}</ref> He represented India in numerous international forums in the 1930s and 1940s, including at the UN during the Kashmir debate.<ref name=Marquis /> American diplomat Mr Vincent Sheean has mentioned in his book "Nehru – The Years of Power" that it was a technical error on part of the team headed by Mr Girija Bajpai which filed India's appeal to the UN Pakistan's invasion in Kashmir which led to the issue being considered a dispute rather than an act of aggression by Pakistan.

Following the independence of India from the British Raj in 1947, Prime Minister Nehru retained Sir Girija as his principal foreign affairs adviser, appointing him the first Secretary General in the Ministry of External Affairs.<ref name=Kapur>{{cite book|last=Kapur|first=Harish|title=Foreign Policies of India's Prime Ministers|year=2009|publisher=Lancer Publishers|location=Delhi|isbn=9780979617485|pages=444|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nQkH1fIiZI0C&q=N.%20R.%20Pillai%20ambassador%20china&pg=PA32}}</ref>

==Later years and death==
Bajpai had experienced poor health for some years, and the pressures of the immediate post-Independence years took their toll. In failing health by 1952, he was appointed as the Governor of Bombay State by Nehru, in part to allow him to recuperate. He recovered his health sufficiently to represent India the following year at the UN conferences on the Kashmir dispute, which were held at Geneva. Following his return to India, Sir Girija fell seriously ill in early 1954.<ref name="Times_obit"/> He died in office of a [[cerebral haemorrhage]] in the early morning of 5 December 1954, aged 63. He lay in state in the audience hall of Raj Bhavan, his body draped with the tricolour as citizens, political leaders and consular officials filed past. Later that day, with thousands of people lining the streets, his corpse was conveyed to the crematorium in a gun carriage drawn by detachments of the army, navy, air force and the Mumbai Police. He was cremated with full ceremonial honours, including a 17-gun salute, fired as his eldest son, [[Uma Shankar Bajpai]], lit the funeral pyre.

The (then) Vice President of India, [[Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan]], delivered a eulogy in which he said Bajpai's life had been "an example of devotion and dedication" which would be long remembered.<ref name="Hindu report">{{cite news|title=This day that age – December 6, 1954|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/12/06/stories/2004120600270901.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050829104950/http://www.hindu.com/2004/12/06/stories/2004120600270901.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 August 2005|accessdate=28 October 2012|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=6 December 2004}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Sir Girija Bajpai was known for his wealth and lifestyle. He always dressed impeccably and was considered an authority on clothes, fine wines and carpets. His ethics and strong sense of family responsibility led him to pay off his brother's debts, some of which were run up in his name, several times in an effort to preserve the family's reputation.

Bajpai was married to Rajni Misra of Kanpur, with whom he had four daughters and three sons; [[Uma Shankar Bajpai]], Durga Shankar Bajpai and [[Katyayani Shankar Bajpai]], all who became diplomats.<ref name="Times_obit"/> [[Kanti Bajpai]], the son of Uma Shankar, is a noted academic.

He was an early notable in [[Scouting and Guiding in India]], and worked to unify their scattered organisations during the pre-independence era.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

'''Leela Mishra''' (1 January 1908<ref>http://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/acter/w/asia/83368/bio/</ref> – 17 January 1988) was an [[India]]n film actress. She worked as a [[character actor]] in over 200 [[Hindi film]]s for five decades, and is best remembered for playing [[stock character]]s such as [[aunt]]s (''Chachi'' or ''Mausi''). She is best known for her role of "mausi" in the blockbuster ''[[Sholay]]'' (1975), ''Dil Se Mile Dil'' (1978), ''[[Baton Baton Mein]]'' (1979), [[Rajesh Khanna]] films such as ''[[Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein]]'', [[Maa Ka Aanchal|''Aanchal'']], ''[[Mehbooba (1976 film)|Mehbooba]]'', ''[[Amar Prem]]'' and [[Rajshri Productions]] hits such as ''[[Geet Gaata Chal]]'' (1975), ''[[Nadiya Ke Paar (1982 film)|Nadiya Ke Paar]]'' (1982) and ''[[Abodh]]'' (1984).<ref>{{cite news|title=10 things we miss in Bollywood|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/10-things-we-miss-in-Bollywood/articleshow/5830876.cms?referral=PM|publisher=[[The Times of India]]|work=[[Mumbai Mirror]]|author=Vishwas Kulkarni|date=19 April 2010}} Retrieved 10 September 2011.</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2009-04-22/news/27660384_1_wheel-fena-ads|title=A dekho at the Iconic ads over the years|work=[[The Economic Times|Economic Times]]|date=22 April 2009}} Retrieved 10 September 2011.</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Representing religion in world cinema: filmmaking, mythmaking, culture making|author=S.

==Personal life==
Leela Mishra was married to Ram Prasad Mishra, who was a character artist, then working in silent films. She got married at the very young age of 12. By the time she was 17, she had two daughters. She hailed from [[Jais]], [[Raebareli]], and she and her husband were from ''zamindar'' (landowners) families.<ref name="CITEREFCinePlot">{{cite web|url=http://cineplot.com/leela-misra-interview/|title=Leela Mishra interview on Cineplot.com |access-date=26 March 2014}}</ref>

==Career==
Leela Mishra was discovered by a man called Mama Shinde, who was working for [[Dadasaheb Phalke]]'s Nasik Cinetone. He persuaded her husband to make her work in films. During those days there was a severe scarcity of women actors in films; this was evident in the paychecks that the Mishras received when they went to [[Nasik]] for the shooting. While Ram Prasad Mishra was hired on a salary of Rs. 150 per month, Leela Mishra was offered Rs. 500 per month. However, as they fared poorly in front of the camera, their contracts were cancelled.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}

The next opportunity that came their way was an offer to work in the movie ''Bhikarin'', which was being produced by a company owned by the [[Maharaja]] of [[Kolhapur]]. However, Leela Mishra lost out on this opportunity too, as the role required her to put her arms round the actor (who was not her husband) while delivering a dialogue, which she point-blank refused to do.

She faced a similar problem while working in another film titled ''Honhaar''. She was cast opposite Shahu Modak as a heroine, and was supposed to hug and embrace him, which she again refused steadfastly. Since the company was legally in a weak position, they couldn't turn her out of the film, which proved to be a blessing in disguise for her. She was offered Modak's mother's role in the film and it clicked instantly. This opened the doors for her to play mother roles at the young age of 18.<ref name="CITEREFCinePlot"/>

==Notable works==
Early on in her career she acted in notable films such as the musical hit ''[[Anmol Ghadi]]'' (1946), [[Raj Kapoor]]'s ''[[Awaara]]'' (1951) and [[Nargis]]-[[Balraj Sahni]] starrer ''[[Lajwanti]]'' (1958), which was nominated for the [[Palme d'Or]] for Best Film at [[1959 Cannes Film Festival]].<ref name="festival-cannes.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/3435/year/1959.html|title=Festival de Cannes: Lajwanti|access-date=14 February 2009|work=festival-cannes.com}}</ref>

She acted in the first [[Bhojpuri film]], ''[[Ganga Maiyya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo]]'' (1962), which also starred [[Kumkum (actress)|Kumkum]], [[Helen (actress)|Helen]] and [[Nazir Hussain]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Strong at 50, Bhojpuri cinema celebrates|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/strong-at-50-bhojpuri-cinema-celebrates/749762/0|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=14 February 2011|access-date=10 September 2011}}</ref><ref name=ndtv>{{cite news|title=First Bhojpuri Film To Be Screened During Bihar Divas|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/regional/first-bhojpuri-film-to-be-screened-during-bihar-divas-599019|publisher=[[NDTV]] Movies|date=17 March 2011|access-date=3 April 2016}}</ref>

Lakshmi is commonly referred to in India as '''Captain Lakshmi''', a reference to her rank when taken prisoner in Burma during the Second World War.

==Early life==
Captain Lakshmi was born as Lakshmi Swaminathan in [[Madras]]<ref name=Hindu_fulfilling /> on 24 October 1914 to S. Swaminathan, a lawyer who practiced criminal law at [[Madras High Court]], and A.V.

A year later, she received her diploma in [[gynaecology]] and [[obstetrics]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Capt Lakshmi Sehgal, chief of INA women’s regiment, passes away at 97|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120723/jsp/frontpage/story_15761639.jsp#.UA0yM2HKnMA|access-date=23 July 2012|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=23 July 2012|location=Calcutta, India}}</ref> She worked as a doctor in the Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital located at [[Triplicane]] Chennai.<ref name=Hindu_fulfilling/>

In 1940, she left for [[Singapore]] after the failure of her marriage to pilot P.K.N. Rao.<ref name=Hindu_fulfilling/> During her stay at Singapore, she met some members of [[Subhas Chandra Bose]]'s [[Indian National Army]].<ref name=Hindu_fulfilling/>

===The Azad Hind Fauj===
In 1942, during the [[Fall of Singapore|surrender of Singapore]] by the British to the Japanese, Lakshmi aided wounded [[prisoners of war]], many of whom were interested in forming an Indian independence army. Singapore at this time had several nationalist Indians working there including [[K. P. Kesava Menon]], S. C. Guha and N. Raghavan, who formed a Council of Action. Their [[Indian National Army]], or ''Azad Hind Fauj'', however, received no firm commitments or approval from the occupying Japanese forces regarding their participation in the war.<ref name="thehindu">{{cite news|last=Menon|first=Parvathi|title=Captain Lakshmi Sahgal (1914 - 2012) - A life of struggle|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3672666.ece?homepage=true|access-date=23 July 2012|newspaper=The Hindu|date=23 July 2012|location=Chennai, India}}</ref>

It was against this backdrop that Subhas Chandra Bose arrived in Singapore on 2 July 1943. Lakshmi had heard that Bose was keen to draft women into the organisation and requested a meeting with him from which she emerged with a mandate to set up a women’s regiment, to be called the [[Rani of Jhansi regiment]]. Women responded enthusiastically to join the all-women brigade and Dr. Lakshmi Swaminathan became Captain Lakshmi, a name and identity that would stay with her for life.<ref name="thehindu" />

The INA marched to Burma with the [[Imperial Japanese Army|Japanese army]] in December 1944, but by March 1945, with the tide of war turning against them, the INA leadership decided to beat a retreat before they could enter [[Imphal]]. Captain Lakshmi was arrested by the British army in May 1945, remaining in [[Burma]] until March 1946, when she was sent to India – at a time when the [[INA trials]] in Delhi heightened popular discontent with and hastened the end of colonial rule.<ref name="thehindu" />

==Later years==
In 1971, Lakshmi joined the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] and represented the party in the [[Rajya Sabha]]. During the [[Bangladesh liberation war|Bangladesh crisis]], she organised relief camps and medical aid in Calcutta for refugees who streamed into India from Bangladesh. She was one of the founding members of [[All India Democratic Women's Association]] in 1981 and led many of its activities and campaigns.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tamilnadu.com/personalities/lakshmi-sehgal.html|title=Lakshmi Sehgal|publisher=Tamilnadu.com|date=24 January 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130411215433/http://tamilnadu.com/personalities/lakshmi-sehgal.html|archive-date=11 April 2013}}</ref> She led a medical team to Bhopal after the gas tragedy in December 1984, worked towards restoring peace in Kanpur following the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 and was arrested for her participation in a campaign against the Miss World competition in Bangalore in 1996.<ref name="thehindu" /> She was still seeing patients regularly at her clinic in Kanpur in 2006, at the age of 92.<ref name="thehindu" />

In 2002, four leftist parties{{spaced ndash}}the [[Communist Party of India]], the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], the [[Revolutionary Socialist Party (India)|Revolutionary Socialist Party]], and the [[All India Forward Bloc]]{{spaced ndash}}nominated Sahgal as a candidate in the presidential elections. She was the sole opponent of [[A.P.J. Abdul Kalam]], who emerged victorious.<ref>{{cite news|title=Freedom fighter Captain Lakshmi Sehgal dead|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/node/142996|access-date=23 July 2012|newspaper=Deccan Chronicle|date=23 July 2012}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Lakshmi married [[Prem Sehgal|Prem Kumar Sahgal]] in March 1947 in [[Lahore]]. After their marriage, they settled in [[Kanpur]], where she continued with her medical practice and aided the refugees who were arriving in large numbers following the [[Partition of India]]. They had two daughters: [[Subhashini Ali]] and Anisa Puri.

Subhashini is a prominent Communist politician and labour activist. According to Ali, Lakshmi was an [[atheist]]. The filmmaker [[Shaad Ali]] is her grandson.<ref>{{cite news|title=Freedom fighter Captain Lakshmi Sehgal passes away|url=http://www.indiatimes.com/national/freedom-fighter-captain-lakshmi-sehgal-passes-away-33204.html | work=The Times Of India}}</ref>

==''Shahar Mein'' curfew==

The attacks on inconvenient writers and dissenting journalists are in fact motivated by a desire to silence all criticism and all reason, thereby making the very existence of rationally-thinking people redundant to the social and political process. This is extremely distressing."''<ref>{{cite book

'''Ram Chandra Shukla''' (1925–2016<ref>{{cite web|title=नहीं रहे प्रख्यात कला समीक्षक और चित्रकार रामचंद्र शुक्ल|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/news/uttarpradesh/article1-ramchandra-shukla-dies-556641.html|website=Livehindustan|accessdate=15 April 2018|language=hi}}</ref>) was an Indian painter and [[art critic]].<ref>[http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-02-27/allahabad/28025167_1_exhibition-nirala-art-gallery-lucknow Painting exhibition inaugurated at Nirala Art Gallery – The Times of India] {{webarchive |url=https://archive.today/20120730110358/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Allahabad/Painting-exhibition-inaugurated-at-Nirala-Art-Gallery/articleshow/4202349.cms |date=30 July 2012 }}</ref>

==Early life==
Shukla was born in a small village called Shukulpura of district [[Basti, Uttar Pradesh|Basti]], Uttar Pradesh in a farmer's family. Soon after that his father shifted to a prominent, cultural city, [[Allahabad]] in Uttar Pradesh, where he grew up.

He graduated from the [[Allahabad University]] and studied painting under a renowned Indian painter of the Bengal School, [[Kshitindra Nath Majumdar]].<ref>[http://auaa.in/?page_id=31 Allahabad University alumni] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120707073335/http://auaa.in/?page_id=31 |date=7 July 2012 }}</ref> He is honoured as "Proud Past Alumni" of Allahabad University by Allahabad University Alumni Association.<ref>[https://archive.today/20080115090226/http://www.auaa.in/proudpast.html " Internet Archive of Proud Past Alumni"]</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20120707073335/http://auaa.in/?page_id=31 "Internet Archive of Proud Past Alumni"]</ref>

==Career==
Shukla joined [[Banaras Hindu University]] as a teacher of art in the Department of Painting. He retired as a professor and the Head of Department of Painting of Banaras Hindu University in the year 1985.

Subsequently, he shifted to his native place, Allahabad, and started his studio there. Shukla does not try to sell his paintings; he simply wants to go in the depth of art itself and work as a spiritual painter, enjoying the bliss of art. He is known for his experiment with brush and colours. He developed various indigenous style of painting of which most important are Kashi Shailee, Samikshavad and intuitive paintings.

=== Kashi Shailee paintings ===

Shukla used to paint in the water color wash technique prevalent at the time. Thereafter, he began to take interest in the folk paintings of India, particularly Benaras folk art and miniature paintings of India. It was during that period that he with other drawing students developed a new school of Indian contemporary painting called Kashi Shailee, based on folk art and miniature paintings.

===Samikshavad===

Shukla painted many forms and styles of paintings, but he was in search of an indigenous style of modern painting in India, which he developed during his stay in Benaras Hindu University in the year 1974, called [[Samikshavad]]. This style is now well known in India. By this style, the artist tends to expose the corruption prevalent in the society and politics, with a language that is symbolic and satirical.

=== Intuitive paintings ===

Shukla's latest experiment (in 2005) has taken a different turn and he now calls his recent paintings intuitive paintings which express his inner spiritual feelings and experiences. These paintings have been made in the new medium of coloured markers and sketch pens. They are small paintings and can be called modern miniature paintings.

==Personal life==
Shukla lived in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, [[India]], with his wife, Kala Rani Shukla and his children and grandchildren. He was the father of five sons and two daughters. His work is displayed at his paternal house in Allahabad which is now converted in a museum as R.C.Shukla Research Center for Visual Science and Arts.

Sampla, who studied till Class 10, joined the party in 1998. He was the second cabinet minister from [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] after Akali Dal's [[Harsimrat Kaur Badal]]. His political journey began after he was elected the Sarpanch or head of his Sofi village ([[Jalandhar District]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=In 1998, by being elected sarpanch of Sofi village, he became the first Dalit sarpanch of the BJP from Doaba.|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/jalandhar/rss-backing-proximity-to-rajnath-gets-sampla-berth/article1-1283694.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150109081637/http://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/jalandhar/rss-backing-proximity-to-rajnath-gets-sampla-berth/article1-1283694.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 January 2015}}</ref> He had held several key posts in the BJP's Punjab unit.<ref name="auto"/>

When he was a 27-year-old bereaved [[dalit]], Sampla was trying to find his feet against the oppressive landlords of Jalandhar's Sofi Pind. His brother and he were left to fend for themselves after their father's death and Sampla went off to Saudi Arabia in 1979 to work for a plumbing company.<ref name="auto1">{{cite news |last1=Dua |first1=Rohan |title=Sampla’s success story: Plumber to minister|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Samplas-success-story-Plumber-to-minister/articleshow/45092216.cms |access-date=21 January 2021 |work=The Times of India |date=10 November 2014 |language=en}}</ref>

On his swearing-in as BJP's first minister from Punjab in NDA-II, he said, "I often recall one incident that shaped my life. While I was in Saudi Arabian city of Damam, I was asked to clean human excreta and repair a bathroom. I was young and flatly refused to do the cleaning part while telling the building owner that I was a plumber. On my insistence, the man put on plastic gloves and cleaned the muck himself. It taught me the difference between oppression against dalits and the will to work", Sampla recalled.<ref name="auto1"/>

==Early and personal Life==
Vaghela was born in Vasan in a rajput family, [[Gandhinagar District]], in [[Gujarat]]. He studied [[Master of Arts]] from [[Gujarat University]]. His son [[Mahendrasinh Vaghela|Mahendrasinh]] was MLA from [[Bayad (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Bayad]] from 2012 to 2017.

On 27 June 2020, Vaghela tested positive for [[Coronavirus]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Ex-Gujarat Chief Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela tests positive, quarantined at his residence |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/ex-gujarat-chief-minister-shankarsinh-vaghela-tests-positive-quarantined-at-his-residence/article31935695.ece |accessdate=28 June 2020 |publisher=The Hindu |date=27 June 2020}}</ref> He healed from [[Coronavirus]] on 23 July 2020 at the age of 80 years.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Former Guj CM Sets Fitness Goals at 80 with Viral Exercise Photos after Beating Covid-19|url=https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/former-guj-cm-sets-fitness-goals-at-80-with-viral-exercise-photos-after-beating-covid-19-2729857.html|access-date=30 July 2020|work=News18}}</ref>

==Political career ==
Vaghela was an active member of [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS) before joining [[Bharatiya Jana Sangh|Jana Sangh]]. He was jailed during the [[The Emergency (India)|Indira Gandhi's Emergency]].

===Janata Party and Bharatiya Janata Party===
After the Emergency was lifted, he was elected to the [[6th Lok Sabha]] (1977-1979) on a [[Janata Party]] ticket from [[Kapadvanj (Lok Sabha constituency)|Kapadvanj]] but lost that seat in 1980 elections.

He was the Vice-President of the [[Janata Party]] in [[Gujarat]] and from 1980 to 1991 he was the General Secretary and President of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) in Gujarat. He was a member of the [[Rajya Sabha]] from 1984 to 1989. In 1989 he was elected to the [[9th Lok Sabha]] (1989–91) from [[Gandhinagar]] and in 1991 he was re-elected to the [[10th Lok Sabha]] (1991–96) from [[Godhra (Lok Sabha constituency)]].

In 1995, BJP won a majority of 121 seats in the 182-member [[Gujarat Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]]. Many party legislators expressed a preference for Vaghela as their leader. However, the BJP leadership installed [[Keshubhai Patel]] as the Chief Minister, and the support for Vaghela was gradually eroded. [[Narendra Modi]] is said to have thrown his weight behind Keshubhai Patel in preference to Vaghela, and was held responsible for the ensuing events by Vaghela.

In September 1995, Vaghela rebelled against the BJP leadership with the support of 47 MLAs. In the subsequent compromise worked out by the leadership, [[Keshubhai Patel]] was replaced by a Vaghela loyalist [[Suresh Mehta]] as the Chief Minister. Modi was temporarily banished from Gujarat.<ref name=Nag>{{cite book |last=Nag |first=Kingshuk |title=The NaMo Story - A Political Life |year=2013 |publisher=Roli Books| isbn=978-8174369383 |pages=62–65}}
</ref>

Vaghela lost Godhra seat in May 1996 Lok Sabha polls, and soon left [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] with his supporters, bringing down [[Suresh Mehta]]'s government.

===Rashtriya Janata Party and Chief Minister===
He floated his own party, named [[Rashtriya Janata Party]] and became Chief Minister with Congress Party's support in October 1996.

He won bye-poll to Gujarat Assembly from Radhanpur seat in early 1997. But he had to resign as Chief Minister during ongoing political turmoil in Gujarat in October 1997, and his fellow-rebel ex-BJP MLA [[Dilip Parikh]] became CM with Vaghela's reluctant blessings.

Even Parikh's government did not last long and fresh elections for [[Gujarat Vidhan Sabha]] had to be called in 1998. Vaghela did not contest these elections. He merged his new party with Congress. BJP came back to power with thumping majority in Gujarat in 1998 and [[Keshubhai Patel]] became CM again.

===Indian National Congress===

Vaghela was now established as a major politician in [[Indian National Congress]] Party. He was elected to [[Lok Sabha]] in 1999 and 2004 from Kapadvanj as Congress candidate. He was made Union Cabinet [[Minister of Textiles]] in May 2004. Kapadvanj seat was reconstituted as Panchmahal seat in 2008. Vaghela lost Panchmahal seat to [[BJP]] in 2009 [[Lok Sabha]] polls. Ahead of the [[Gujarat Legislative Assembly]] election, 2012, he was appointed the Chairman of Campaign Committee. He contested from the Kapadvanj constituency and won.

He was named the leader of Opposition in the [[Gujarat Legislative Assembly]]. He has also served as the president of [[Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee]].

He contested 2014 Lok Sabha election from [[Sabarkantha (Lok Sabha constituency)|Sabarkantha]] constituency in Gujarat and lost to BJP candidate [[Dipsinh Shankarsinh Rathod]].

Vaghela had been appointed chairman of the [[India Tourism Development Corporation]] (ITDC), which runs the [[Ashok Group|Ashoka group of hotels]] across the country.

Vaghela was one of 57 Congress MLAs suspended for wearing slogans against BJP president [[Amit Shah]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/congress-mlas-suspended-again/articleshow/57950345.cms|title=Congress MLAs suspended, again|work=indiatimes.com}}</ref>

In July 2017, he left Indian National Congress and stepped down from the post of Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, after he and a few other INC MLAs voted against [[Ahmed Patel]], the INC candidate for the [[Rajya Sabha]], and supported BJP nominee [[Balvantsinh Rajput]].<ref name=":3" />

===Jan Vikalp Morcha / AIHCP===
Soon after he left the Indian National Congress, he launched a new outfit called Jan Vikalp Morcha with Parthesh Patel ahead of [[2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election]]. As the application for registration of Jan Vikalp Morcha was not approved by the elections were announced by the Election Commission, his outfit fielded 95 candidates under the symbol and banner of [[Jaipur]]-based [[All India Hindustan Congress Party]] to contest election.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/gujarat-assembly-elections-2017-shankarsinh-vaghela-forms-a-third-front-jan-vikalp-to-contest-in-nor-1752318|title=Vaghela Floats Third Front In Gujarat, Could Hurt Congress|work=NDTV.com}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/elections/gujarat-assembly-elections-2017/shankersinh-vaghelas-outfit-to-contest-on-symbol-of-jaipur-based-party-4906889/|title=Shankersinh Vaghela's outfit to contest on symbol of Jaipur-based party|date=26 October 2017|work=The Indian Express|access-date=30 November 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.dayafterindia.com/2017/10/25/vaghelas-janvikalp-contest-borrowed-symbol-tractor-india-hindustan-congress-party/|title=Vaghela's Janvikalp to Contest on Borrowed Symbol Tractor Under All India Hindustan Congress Party - THE DAYAFTER|date=25 October 2017|work=THE DAYAFTER|access-date=30 November 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://scroll.in/latest/855354/gujarat-shankersinh-vaghelas-jan-vikalp-morcha-allies-with-all-india-hindustan-congress-party|title=Gujarat: Shankersinh Vaghela's Jan Vikalp Morcha allies with All India Hindustan Congress Party|work=Scroll.in|access-date=30 November 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2017/oct/25/gujarat-polls-former-congress-leader-shankersinh-vaghelas-front-to-contest-on-another-partys-symb-1682657.html|title=Gujarat polls: Former Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela's front to contest on another party's symbol|date=25 October 2017|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=30 November 2017}}</ref> AIHCP garnered only 0.3% (83,922) of total votes and did not win any seat.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/shankersin-vaghelas-ambition-leads-to-poll-disaster/articleshow/62129389.cms|title=Shankersinh Vaghela's ambition leads to poll disaster|date=19 December 2017|work=The Times of India|access-date=19 December 2017}}</ref><ref name=":3" />

==Career==
In 1981, the [[Government of Gujarat]] headed by the chief minister Solanki, introduced the reservation for socially and economically backward classes based on recommendations of Bakshi Commission. It resulted in anti-reservation agitation across the state which spilled over in riots resulting in more than hundred deaths. Solanki resigned in 1985 but later returned to power winning 149 out of 182 [[Gujarat Legislative Assembly|assembly]] seats. He was supported by [[Kshatriya]], [[Harijan]], [[Adivasi]] and [[Muslim]]s; called collectively as KHAM formula.

==Bofors==
According to the CBI, Solanki visited [[Davos]] in [[Switzerland]] in 1992 to attend the [[World Economic Conference]] where he allegedly met the Swiss foreign minister [[Rene Felber]] and told him that "inquiries conducted into the scam in India had failed to produce any result and that the request for mutual assistance was based on political considerations".<ref>[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030419/nation.htm Solanki tried to scuttle Bofors probe: CBI]</ref>

==Early life==

[[File:Jivraj maheta's house.jpg|thumb|Jivraj Mehta's house in Amreli|left]]
Jivraj Narayan Mehta was born on 29 August 1887 to Narayan and Jamakben Mehta in a kapol vania caste [[Amreli]] in [[Bombay Presidency]]. He was son-in-law of [[Manubhai Mehta]], then [[Dewan]] of [[Princely State of Baroda|Baroda state]]. In his early age, Dr. Eduljee Rustomji Dadachandjee, a civil surgeon in Amreli prompted him to take up medicine. He subsequently secured admission into the [[Grant Medical College]] and Sir J. J. Hospital, [[Mumbai|Bombay]], after clearing a stiff written test and a thorough [[Oral exam|''viva voce'']] examination that was conducted by the British IMS officers.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

Mehta's medical education was sponsored by the Seth VM Kapol Boarding Trust. He topped the class in his first [[Licentiate (degree)|Licentiate]] in Medicine and Surgery (equivalent of [[MBBS]]) examination. In his final year, he won seven of the eight prizes open to his batch and shared the eighth prize with his hostel roommate Kashinath Dikshit.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

Later, for postgraduate studies in [[London]] he applied to the Tata education foundation for a student loan and he was selected as one of the only two students for this prestigious fellowship from amongst several bright students who had applied for it. Jivraj Mehta lived from 1909 to 1915 in London. He was the president of the Indian Students Association in London where he studied medicine and did his [[FRCS]] there. He won university gold medal in his MD examinations in 1914. Later, he became a member of the [[Royal College of Physicians]] of London.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

==Political career==

===Doctor of Mahatma Gandhi===
He was briefly the personal doctor to [[Mahatma Gandhi]] after returning to India and joined the [[Indian independence movement|independence movement]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.qmul.ac.uk/alumni/publications/blc/blc_spring06.pdf |title=A Pioneer in India |access-date=9 December 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614145337/http://www.qmul.ac.uk/alumni/publications/blc/blc_spring06.pdf |archive-date=14 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He was twice incarcerated (1938 and 1942) by the British government for his role in Gandhi's [[Satyagraha]] movement. After independence in 1947, he held various public offices. He served as the first "[[Dewan]]" (Prime Minister) of the erstwhile [[Baroda state]] in free India sworn-in on 4 September 1948,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xdI-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=k0wMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3890,6471046&dq=baroda-state&hl=en|title=Gaekwar Inaugurates Responsible Government|date=5 September 1948|work=Indian Express}}</ref> director general of health services and secretary to the ministry of health in the central government during the partition period, minister of public works, finance, industry and prohibition for the then [[Bombay state]].

===Chief minister===
He was the first chief minister of the newly formed [[Gujarat]] state from April 1960 to September 1963. Later he also served as the Indian high commissioner to the [[United Kingdom]] from 1963 to 1966.

==Contributions to medical education in India==
He was the founder of Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and [[KEM Hospital|King Edward VII Memorial Hospital]], [[Mumbai]]. He served in these institutions as their first dean over a period of 17 years (1925–1942).

In the 1930s, Mehta had gauged the fundamental importance of research in medical education. As the dean, he made many efforts towards securing adequate funds for the institute. Drs. P. C. Bharucha, M. D. D. Gilder, N. A. Purandare and R. N. Cooper responded overwhelmingly to his appeal for financial donations to the college research corpus. However, similar requests to the Indian Research Fund Association went for nothing. Then Dr. Jivraj persuaded Sir [[Walter Morley Fletcher]] to visit KEM Hospital on his visit to Bombay to attend a dinner. He showed him the commendable research going on and also impressed upon Sir Walter the acute need of government support for such a research program. The result was government sanction of funds within a few weeks for the same projects through the Indian Research Fund Association.

Mehta with other medical personalities like Nilratan Sarkar and Dr. [[B. C. Roy]] strongly forwarded the case of the metropolitan city of [[Delhi]], when the government was contemplating establishment of a central medical research institute at [[Dehradun]]. Their proposal was accepted by the government and result was [[All India Institute of Medical Sciences]] (AIIMS) at Delhi. He was also involved in the planning of the medical colleges and hospitals at Poona (now [[Pune]]), [[Ahmedabad]], [[Nagpur]] and [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]]. In the establishment of the [[Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai|Topiwala Nair Municipal Hospital]], Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Hospital and the [[Nanavati hospital|Dr. Balabhai Nanavati Hospital]] in Mumbai, he played a key role. He was thrice elected president of the All India Medical Congress and also president of the [[Indian Medical Association]].

Mehta died on 7 November 1978.{{cn|date=July 2020}} His marriage to [[Hansa Jivraj Mehta|Hansabhan]] in the 1920s provoked what historian John R. Wood describes as a "mild sensation" because it was an inter-[[caste system in India|caste]] union, with Mehta being of the [[Bania (caste)|Bania]] community and his wife coming from a prominent [[Nagar Brahmin]] family.<ref>{{cite journal |title=British versus Princely Legacies and the Political Integration of Gujarat |first=John R. |last=Wood |journal=The Journal of Asian Studies |volume=44 |issue=1 |date=November 1984 |pages=65-99 |doi=10.2307/2056747 |jstor=2056747}}</ref>

The newly instituted first-ever Dr. Jivraj Mehta Awards were also presented to veterans Dr. G. S. Sainani (Mumbai), Dr. V. Mohan (Chennai), Dr. Sidharth Shah (Mumbai), Dr. Ashok K. Das (Pondicherry) and Dr. S. K. Sharma (AIIMS, New Delhi) on February 4, 2015.

Josh was born to an Urdu-speaking Muslim family of [[Afridi Pashtun|Afridi]] Pathan origin in [[Malihabad]] (13 miles from Lucknow), [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|United Provinces]], British India.<ref name=AsianVoice/> He received early education in Arabic, Persian, Urdu and English at his home.<ref name=TheNation2/><ref name=TheHindu>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/theatre/the-life-and-times-of-josh/article28547832.ece|title=The life and times of Josh Malihabadi|author=Diwan Singh Bajeli|newspaper=The Hindu (newspaper)|date=18 July 2019|access-date=18 January 2021}}</ref> He studied at St Peter's College, [[Agra]] and passed his [[Senior Cambridge]] examination in 1914. Subsequently, he studied [[Arabic]] and [[Persian language|Persian]] and, in 1918, spent six months at [[Rabindranath Tagore|Tagore's]] [[Visva-Bharati University|university]] at [[Shantiniketan]]. The death of his father, Bashir Ahmed Khan, in 1916, prevented him from undertaking a college education.

His family had a long tradition of producing men of letters. Indeed, his great-grandfather, Nawab Faqeer Muhammad Khan'Goya', grandfather Nawab Muhammad Ahmad Khan, paternal uncle Ameer Ahmad Khan and father Basheer Ahmad Khan were all poets with numerous works (poetry collections, translations, and essays) to their name.<ref>[http://malihabad.blogspot.com/2008/05/malihabad-oasis-of-poets.html "Malihabad: An Oasis of Poets"] by Dr. Navras Jaat Aafreedi, ''Azad Academy Journal'', XIX, 3</ref>
Another of his relative was the journalist, scholar and [[Abul Kalam Azad]]'s confident, [[Abdur Razzaq Malihabadi]].<ref>Ghulam Akbar, ''He was not hanged'', Midas (1989), p. 109</ref><ref name=TheNation2/>

==Career==
In 1925, Josh started to supervise translation work at [[Osmania University]] in the princely state of [[Hyderabad state|Hyderabad]]. However, his stay there ended when he found himself exiled for writing a ''[[nazm]]'' against the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], the then ruler of the state.<ref name=AllPoetry/>

Soon thereafter, he founded the magazine ''Kaleem'' (literally, "speaker" in Urdu), in which he wrote articles in favour of independence from the [[British Raj]] in India. His poem Hussain aur Inquilab (Hussain and Revolution) won him the title of ''Shaair-e-Inquilaab'' (Poet of the Revolution). Subsequently, he became more actively involved in the freedom struggle (albeit, in an intellectual capacity) and became close to some of the political leaders of that era, especially [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] (later to be the first Prime Minister of independent India).<ref name=AsianVoice/><ref name=AllPoetry/>

After the end of the British Raj in India in 1947, Josh became the editor of the publication ''Aaj-Kal''.<ref name=AllPoetry>[https://allpoetry.com/Josh-Malihabadi Biography of Josh Malihabadi on allpoetry.com website] Retrieved 19 January 2021</ref>

==Josh in Pakistan==

Josh migrated to Pakistan in 1956 - despite Jawaharlal Nehru's insistence against it - over what is generally believed to be his concern regarding the future of Josh and [[Urdu language|Urdu]] language in [[India]],<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2002/10/06/stories/2002100600210400.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030630232658/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2002/10/06/stories/2002100600210400.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=30 June 2003 | location=Chennai, India | newspaper=[[The Hindu]] | title=Partition's unresolved business | date=18 January 2021}}</ref><ref name=TheHindu/> where he thought the [[Hindu]] majority would encourage the use of [[Hindi]] rather than [[Urdu language|Urdu]]. After migration, Josh settled in [[Karachi]] and worked for [[Anjuman-i-Tarraqi-i-Urdu]].<ref name=TFL>[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Josh+Malihabadi+remembered+on+his+31st+death+anniversary.-a0320041947 Josh Malihabadi remembered on his 31st death anniversary] The Free Library website, Retrieved 19 January 2021</ref><ref name=AllPoetry/>

==Death and legacy==
Josh remained in Pakistan until he died on 22 February 1982 in [[Islamabad]].<ref name=TheNation2/> [[Faiz Ahmad Faiz|Mustafa Zaidi, Faiz Ahmad Faiz]] and Syed Fakhruddin Balley were the closest companions and friends of Josh and Sajjad Hyder Kharosh (son of Josh).<ref name=Dawn/> [[Faiz Ahmad Faiz]] visited [[Islamabad]] during his illness and Syed Fakhruddin Balley remained entirely engaged with Josh and Sajjad Hyder Kharosh.<ref name=Dawn>[https://www.dawn.com/news/607275/biography-josh-the-man-the-vision Biography of Josh Malihabadi on Dawn (newspaper)] Published 19 February 2011, Retrieved 18 January 2021</ref> Renowned poet Faiz, who coincidentally landed in Pakistan on February 22, 1982 after a long self-imposed exile to meet [[General Zia Ul-Haq]], the then military ruler of Pakistan, and complained to him for not attending Josh’s funeral, and after listening to Zia’s lame-duck excuse, he retorted, 'No Bigger person will be buried in this land ever again.'<ref name=Dawn/>

Professor Ehtesham Hussain was the first eminent figure who started working on Josh’s Biography, with his implied consent. He was in the early stages of his work, when suddenly Josh migrated to Pakistan. It's evident that the scholar Ehtesham lost his passion and never completed the work. Professor Mohammad Hassan, a prominent scholar of Ehtesham’s lineage, then wrote a nearly 100 page epilogue on Josh in 1987, that will soon be published by JLSC, Calgary. [[Hilal Naqvi]], eminent poet and researcher almost devoted his entire life in gathering and publishing Josh’s work. The list of Josh’s admirers are so long and over a span of nearly 100 years, but the most prominent contributors and writers amongst them include, professor Ehtesham Hussain, [[Rais Amrohvi]], [[Mustafa Zaidi]], Sehba Luckhnavi, Professor Qamar Raes, Ali Sardar, Professor Mumtaz Hussain, Ali Ahmed Fatmi, Shahid Mahuli of Ghalib Institute, Delhi, India, Professor [[Sahar Ansari]], Rahat Saeed, [[Jaun Elia]], [[Muhammad Ali Siddiqui]], Professor Hasan Abid, Jaffar Ahmed, [[Parvin Shakir]], [[Iqbal Haider]], Shaista Rizvi.<ref name=TFL/><ref name=Dawn/>

Moreover, Josh’s maternal grandson Farrukh Jamal Malihabadi, Josh Malihabadi's granddaughter [[Tabassum Akhlaq]] has also carried over the legacy of his poetry. Presently, famous artist Fahim Hamid Ali is working on a unique and contemporary presentation of Josh.<ref name=Dawn/>

Josh Literary Society of Canada (JLSC) was formed by Iqbal Haider, Arshad Vasti, Shaista Rizvi, Naheed Kazmi, Nighat Haider, Hasan Zaheer, Dr. Aqeel Athar, Alim Ghaznvi , Abdul Qavi Zia and others in February 1983 in Calgary, Canada.

JLSC convened its first literary conference in Calgary in February 1986 under the title of '''Josh - The Poet of the Century''', with a keynote article by the eminent scholar Professor Mumtaz Hussain.

Then Josh Society and Irteqa Foundation of Karachi together commemorated Josh Centennial a 3-day, mega literary event in Karachi, followed up by other one day programs in Delhi, Allahabad, Lucknow, Lahore, Hyderabad and Dubai. Josh Literary Society has published and reprinted 14 books on Josh. JLSC has also convened and celebrated many other Centennials or seminars like [[Firaq Gorakhpuri]], [[Majaz Lucknawi]], [[Mustafa Zaidi]], [[Juan Elia]], [[Saadat Hasan Manto]], Rashid, [[Faiz Ahmed Faiz]] and [[Ismat Chughtai]].<ref name=TFL/>

The '''Josh Memorial Committee''' was formed in 1986 by Tabassum Akhlaq and she is the current chairperson. The committee organises seminars on Josh Malihabadi's personality, history and literary work. These seminars are usually held on his birthday and death anniversary (on 5 December and 22 February respectively).<ref>[https://www.dawn.com/news/1088874 Tributes paid to Josh Malihabadi] Dawn (newspaper), Published 23 Feb 2014, Retrieved 18 January 2021</ref>

In August 2012, the [[Government of Pakistan]] announced [[Hilal-i-Imtiaz]] for Josh Malihabadi. This award was presented to his granddaughter and founding chairperson of Josh Memorial Committee, Tabassum Akhlaq by the [[President of Pakistan]], [[Asif Ali Zardari]] in a ceremony held in the [[Presidency]] on [[Pakistan Day]] 23 March 2013.<ref name=TheNation/>

The lifelong mission of Josh can be summed up in his own words:

{{cquote|Kaam hai mera taghayyur, Naam hai mera shabaab 
Mera naara: inquilab-o-inquilab-o-inquilab}}

{{cquote|My task is change, my name is youth! 
My slogan: revolution, revolution and revolution!}}<ref name=AsianVoice/>

A noted scholar and literary critic of Pakistan [[Pervez Hoodbhoy]] is quoted as saying about his poetry, "Poetry flowed from Josh's pen like water from a bubbling spring."<ref name=TheNation2/>

'''Asrar-ul-Haq''' (19 October 1911 – 5 December 1955), better known as '''Majaz Lakhnawi''', was an Indian [[Urdu]] poet. He was known for his romantic and revolutionary poetry. He composed ''[[ghazal]]s'' and ''[[nazm]]s'' in [[Urdu language|Urdu]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=26 December 2010|title=A time for poetry|url=http://www.thenews.com.pk/TodaysPrintDetail.aspx?ID=22198&Cat=9|url-status=live|access-date=2018-11-13|website=[[The News International]]}}</ref> He was the maternal uncle of poet and screenplay writer [[Javed Akhtar]].

==Early life and education==
Majaz was born on 19 October 1911 at [[Rudauli]] in [[Barabanki district]] of what is now [[Uttar Pradesh]]. His family were a branch of a land-owning gentry family, but were not wealthy. He was one of numerous children, but only three of his siblings reached adulthood, and among them, his only surviving brother died at age 18 in a freak accident, when Majaz was only nine. After that, Majaz became the only son of his family, and he had two older sisters, namely Safia and [[Hamida Salim|Hamida]]. Safia was the wife of poet [[Jan Nisar Akhtar]]. Thus, Majaz was the maternal uncle of [[Javed Akhtar]]. Majaz suffered from a hearing impairment even as a child, and probably for this reason, he tended to be somewhat difficult, with erratic behavior; he was moody and also a loner. He had the habit of staying awake all night and doing most of his work then; as a result, his earned the nickname "Jaggan" ("awake" in Hindi).

Majaz's father, Seraj-ul-Haq, was a university graduate at a time when this was rare; he joined government service, serving in the middle ranks of the registration department, and finally reached the rank of Assistant Registrar. He was posted mainly in [[Lucknow]], but since his aged parents needed attention, he kept his wife and children in the ancestral house at Rudauli, which is not far from [[Lucknow]], and he would visit them about twice a month. Thus, Majaz grew up mainly in Rudauli and received his basic education there. In the late 1920s, his father was transferred to [[Agra]]. Since his parents were no more, and since Agra was too far from Rudauli for frequent visits, Seraj-ul-haq decided to take his wife and children with him. Majaz completed school in Agra in 1929, and enrolled in St. John's Intermediate College. Almost immediately, his father was transferred to [[Aligarh]], and the family moved again, leaving Majaz in a hostel. The young Majaz was given a cash allowance for the first time in his life, and freedom from his mother's eagle surveillance. He behaved like any teenager of his age, neglected his studies, spent his time and money the way he liked, and failed his exams. Yet, his time was spent not on games or in disreputable activities, but in attending ''[[Mushaira|mushairas]]'' (poetry symposia) and music concerts. It was at this time that he came in contact with both senior and upcoming poets of Agra, including [[Fani Badayuni]], [[Ale Ahmad Suroor]] and Jazbi. With difficulty, Majaz finally cleared his intermediate exams in 1931, and rejoined his parent in Aligarh, where his father got him enrolled for BA at [[Aligarh Muslim University]], his subjects being philosophy, economics and Urdu. He graduated in 1935, again taking a year more than he should have. He then enrolled for an MA in the same university, but was not serious about it, and never completed it.

==Career==
[[File:Aahang Autograph Copy.jpg|thumb|''Aahang'', a self autographed copy by Majaz.]]
The years that Majaz spent in [[Aligarh Muslim University]] coincided with the presence there of many important poets and writers of Urdu. AMU was indeed a nursery of literary talent during those years. Majaz lived and wrote in times which were exceptionally vibrant for poetry; poets such as [[Faiz Ahmed Faiz]], [[Fani Badayuni]], Jazbi, [[Makhdoom Mohiuddin|Makhdoom]] and [[Ali Sardar Jafri]] were among his peers. They were not merely his contemporaries but close friends as well. Others such as [[Josh Malihabadi|Josh]] and [[Firaq Gorakhpuri|Firaq]] knew him well. His first diwan, ''Ahang'', is dedicated to Faiz and Jazbi whom he calls his “dil-o-jigar,” and to Sardar Jafri and Makhdoom, who are “mere dast-o-bazu.” Faiz wrote a thoughtful prelude to ''Ahang''.<ref name="r1">[http://www.dawn.com/news/1024394/column-the-lonely-poet-majaz The lonely poet: Majaz].

== Early life ==
Misra was born in a [[Brahmin]] family of Mariyadpur (now in Mau) in district Azamgarh of Uttar Pradesh. As he was born on [[Krishna Janmashtami]] his parents named him Kanhaiya Lal. He was the eldest of four sons and one daughter of Baidnath Misra, a civil and a criminal lawyer, at the Azamgarh Bar, and a long-serving M.L.C.

==Corruption, conviction and anarchism==
Mishra assumed power after fall of Abdul Ghafoor and he, according to Ashwini Kumar, patronised the [[Forward Caste]]s in his government with 40% of the ministers in his cabinet hailing from Forward Castes. According to Frankel he cultivated a social coalition of [[Brahmin]]s, [[Dalit]]s and [[Muslim]]s and checked the political ascedency of the backwards . In fact, it was Mishra's rule in which crime and politics became unseparable and several contemporary observers note that "politics became a game of personal gains and loss." Although he took populist measures like distribution of surplus land over ceiling laws to [[Scheduled Caste]]s, his tenure is perceived as highly corrupt and repressive. Mishra also revoked the recommendation of Mungeri Lal commission's report<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ashish |first1=Kumar ‘Anshu’ |title=Reservation review: Who set the ball rolling? |url=https://www.forwardpress.in/2016/04/reservation-review-who-set-the-ball-rolling/ |access-date=23 February 2021 |publisher=Forward Press |date=10 April 2016}}</ref> which provided reservation for backward castes.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=num2I4NFGqIC&pg=PA68|title= Community Warriors: State, Peasants and Caste Armies in Bihar|author=Ashwani Kumar|page=68,70|

Mishra maintained that while he supported a free press as necessary and vital to a democracy, it must be controlled if one section of it acts irresponsibly. Citing instances of ''character assassination'' in the press that would damage the government's credibility, he said that he expected commitment to national goals and aspirations from journalists.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/19/world/new-press-law-stirs-concern-in-india.html|title=New Press Law Stirs Concern in India|first1=William K.|last1=Stevens|first2=Special To the New York|last2=Times|date=19 August 1982|access-date=9 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106004926/https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/19/world/new-press-law-stirs-concern-in-india.html|archive-date=6 November 2018|url-status=live|newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref> Addressing a Congress-I Party meeting in [[Lucknow]], Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] said she had not read the Bihar Press Bill but understood from government lawyers that it contains nothing to gag the press.

In an interview to ''[[The Indian Express]]'' in 2017, Mishra said he regretted the decision of bringing the bill — which he claims was taken to keep PM Indira Gandhi in good humour "at the peak of her differences with [[Maneka Gandhi]]"."I admit that I should not have brought the Bihar Press Bill," Mishra told The Indian Express from Delhi. "I did so to keep then PM Indira Gandhi in good humour. During one of my visits to Delhi, I saw Indira in a pensive mood. She was upset with reports about the differences between her and Maneka Gandhi. She had been getting bad press. She asked me if I can bring a bill on the lines of Tamil Nadu and Orissa and asked me to meet then information and broadcasting minister [[Vasant Sathe]], who gave me a detailed brief. I went back and brought the Bihar Press Bill on 31 July 1982."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/rajasthan-ordinance-vasundhara-raje-jagannath-mishra-bihar-press-bill-4906731/|title=My Bihar Press Bill was wrong, Rajasthan bill is worse: Former CM Jagannath Mishra|date=26 October 2017|access-date=9 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106004947/https://indianexpress.com/article/india/rajasthan-ordinance-vasundhara-raje-jagannath-mishra-bihar-press-bill-4906731/|archive-date=6 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

To ensure transparency and accountability in Department of Rural Development, all panchayat bank accounts were mapped on the Central Plan Scheme Monitoring System to streamline release of funds from district to panchayats. E-muster rolls were made mandatory to put an end to fake muster rolls and to make the process transparent and fool proof and regular social audits were conducted by gram sabhas.<ref>{{cite web|title=CAG finding MGNREGA scheme job card|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-08-02/news/41008567_1_cag-findings-mgnrega-scheme-job-card}}</ref>

For effective convergence with state rural development mission (Jeevika), self-employment and small entrepreneurship scheme as poultry farming, pond management, goat Rearing etc. were allowed to be taken up under MGNREGA.<ref>{{cite web|title=CM unveils Jeevika bonanza for poor|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/CM-unveils-Jeevikas-bonanza-for-poor/articleshow/18899897.cms}}</ref>
Young professionals with degrees from prestigious institutes like LSE and IRMA were hired to implement state projects under National Rural Livelihood Mission.<ref>{{cite web|title=B-school band in rural push-Professionals from top institutes to implement projects|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120503/jsp/bihar/story_15445061.jsp#.Vc1YQfmqqko}}</ref>

Department of Rural Development, under the stewardship of Mishra inked memoranda of understanding with companies to provide training to the youth in state through skill development centres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Govt to train youth through skill devp centers|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Govt-to-train-1-08L-youth-through-skill-devpt-centres-in-all-districts/articleshow/45182618.cms?}}</ref>

To bring about transparency and integrity in implementation of Indira Awas Yojna he came up with the innovative idea of holding block level disbursement camps for beneficiaries of the scheme. These camps were held in front of Ministers and Secretaries in charge of various districts, Divisional Commissioner, District Magistrate and panchayat level public representatives.<ref name=Samriddhi />

In an unprecedented move, Mishra adopted a policy of strict action to ensure people completed construction of their houses within a stipulated time period . Block administration was directed to issue white notices to those failed to complete their houses after two years of getting the first instalment. If the beneficiaries did not take action even after three months of issuance of the white notices, they are again issued red notices.<ref>{{cite web|title=Action taken against 2.50 lakh IAY beneficiaries|url=http://www.bihartimes.in/Newsbihar/2013/March/newsbihar05March4.html}}</ref>

If he took action against defaulters, Mishra also made sure that he encouraged those who adhered to deadlines. An incentive of Rs. 2000 was announced for Mahadalit beneficiaries who completed their houses within two month of getting their second installment. Madalit families were also given incentives to build toilets in their houses.<ref>{{cite web|title=Toilet bonus in house scheme|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110122/jsp/bihar/story_13471237.jsp}}</ref>
Much before "Swach Bharat Abhiyan" gained popularity, Mishra took steps to enforce cleanliness by linking payment of final installment to Indira Awas Yojna beneficiaries with construction of toilets.<ref name=Samriddhi />

Mishra also introduced monitoring of Indira Awas Yojna completions through satellite based geotagged and time-stamped photography. This was an unheard of practice in Bihar and unparalleled in Indira Awas Yojna monitoring in the nation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rural_Development_in_Bihar_contribution|url=http://www.oifc.in/Uploads/MediaTypes/Documents/Rural_Development_in_Bihar_contribution.pdf}}</ref>

Mishra facilitated the setting up of online recruitment portal "Samvida" to recruit over 10,000 block and panchayat level staff for looking after Indira Awas Yojna. These recruitments were made in a short period of four months.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://egov.eletsonline.com/2015/02/tech-vehicle-for-rural-development/}}</ref> Project Samvida got national recognition when it won the National Award for e-Governance (gold medal ) in the specific sector award category.<ref>{{cite web|title=National-Awards-for-e-Governance|url=http://nceg.gov.in/National-Awards-for-e-Governance}}</ref>

Department of Rural Development under Mishra’s leadership played an active role in setting up [[Development Management Institute]], a state of art management institute in Bihar. This institute has been oriented to create a cadre of development management professionals and enhance competence of existing practitioners.

During Mishra’s tenure as the Minister for Department of Rural Development, Bihar became the first State to publish the draft list of Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) and distribute it to the actually surveyed people for putting forth their claims and objection against the draft publication. This was a mammoth task considering the size of population and limitations like delay in release of funds from the GoI(Government of India). Fifty lakh application were received from across the state for redressal of claims and objections in the draft publication which were disposed of in a record time.

[[Supaul]], [[Madhepura]], [[Araria]] and [[Saharsa]] were the four worst affected districts. Stationing himself at Araria, Mishra personally monitored relief and rescue operations. He used his personal rapport to reach out to NGOs and corporate groups to lend a helping hand to flood affected families. 300 relief camps and mega camps were established where 2155 hand pumps and 3750 temporary toilets were built. 200 health centers and 150 veterinary centers were put in motion.

===Performance as Minister of State , Department of Sugarcane Development===
In his debut ministerial role, Mishra displayed business-like acumen in reviving the sick sugarcane sector in Bihar. He conceptualised state’s Sugar Industry Incentive Policy. Within two years of its launch, sugar industry in Bihar staged a turnaround. A privatisation policy was also initiated for 15 sick and closed sugar units in Bihar three of which were successfully privatised during his tenure. Signs of revival of sugar industry became evident as Bihar received proposal worth rupees 20 thousands cores for setting of new sugar complexes. Existing sugar mills witnessed over 40% expansion in production capacity. Mishra ensured that payments worth Rs. 8.84 crores pending in the Bihar State Sugar Corporation since 1997 were also cleared.<ref>{{cite web|title=there-is-remarkable-change-in-bihar-now|url=http://egov.eletsonline.com/2014/02/there-is-remarkable-change-in-bihar-now-2/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Huge potential for sugar industry in Bihar: Report|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061114/biz.htm#10}}</ref>

==Economy==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}
The main occupation in the district is agriculture, followed by allied and agro-based activities. The [[Meo (ethnic group)|Meo]]s are the predominant population group and are all agriculturists.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theprint.in/india/how-tablighi-jamaat-was-born-from-mewats-drinking-muslims-who-couldnt-even-read-namaz/403209/|title=How Tablighi Jamaat was born from Mewat’s ‘drinking Muslims who couldn’t even read namaz’}}</ref> Agriculture is mostly rain-fed except in small pockets where canal irrigation is available, and crop yield per hectare is low compared with the rest of the state. Animal husbandry, particularly dairy, is the secondary source of income for the people; those who live closer to the hilly ranges of [[Aravalli Range|Aravali]] also keep sheep and goats. The heavy indebtedness of most of the farmers requires them to sell milk to their lenders at below-market price, which drastically reduces their income.

Towns such as Punhana, Pinangwan, Ferozepur Jhirka, Taoru and Nuh are major hubs of retail shopping and act as backbones of day-to-day life in the area. The district also has a [[MMTC Ltd.|MMTC]]–PAMP factory located in the Rojka–Meo industrial estate.

==Climate==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}
The district falls under the sub-tropical [[semi-arid climate|semi-arid climatic zone]] with extremely hot temperatures in summer.

The annual rainfall varies considerably, from {{convert|336|to|440|mm|in|abbr=on}}. About 80% of the annual rainfall is received during the [[Monsoon of South Asia|monsoon season]], from June to September with a peak in July. Dryness of air is a standard feature in Mewat district, with high humidity only during the monsoon period. During the monsoon, the sky is heavily clouded, and winds are strong. Winds are generally light during the post-monsoon and winter months. The dry season of minimum humidity (less than 20%) is between April and May, when strong dusty winds are conspicuous.

Nuh district experiences a high incidence of thunderstorms and dust storms, often accompanied by violent squalls (Bengali: ''andhar'' ) from April to June. The thunderstorms may be accompanied by heavy rain and occasionally by hail. In the winter months, fog may appear in the district.

==Transport==
Nuh town is on [[National Highway 248A (India)|National Highway 248A]] (NH 248A) (previously known as the Gurgaon–[[Sohna]]–[[Alwar]] road),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/sohna-road-to-have-a-toll-plaza-after-upgrade/articleshow/65693527.cms|title=Sohna road to have a toll plaza after upgrade}}</ref> connecting the district to Gurugram and Alwar.

==Career ==
[[File:Zayed Khan 1.jpg|thumb|right|Zayed Khan at the premiere of [[Mod (film)|Mod]].]]
Khan made his screen debut in 2003 in the film ''[[Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne]]''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Meet the new Khan of bollywood |url=http://archive.mid-day.com/entertainment/2002/nov/37762.htm |publisher=[[MiD DAY]] |date=30 November 2002 |access-date=15 January 2015 |archive-date=28 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150328033955/http://archive.mid-day.com/entertainment/2002/nov/37762.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2004, he starred in ''[[Main Hoon Na]]'', which was one of the biggest hits in his career. It was the second highest-grossing film of 2004 behind ''[[Veer-Zaara]]'' and was declared a hit. Khan was subsequently nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2005. He also starred alongside [[Amrita Arora]] in a music video called Disco 82 Remix by DJ Aqeel for UMI-10.

Khan had 4 releases in 2005. He played an obsessive lover in ''[[Vaada (film)|Vaada]]'' alongside [[Arjun Rampal]] and [[Ameesha Patel]]. He then starred in ''[[Shabd (film)|Shabd]]'' as a photography professor, which he was very excited about because he had always wanted to do a film with [[Aishwarya Rai]]. His third release, [[Anubhav Sinha]]'s action thriller ''[[Dus]]'', where he played a cop, did well. It was Big Hit and was the third highest-grossing film of 2005. Khan's final release of the year, ''[[Shaadi No. 1]]'', flopped at the box office.

He starred in [[Sohail Khan]]'s action multi-starrer, ''[[Fight Club - Members Only]]'' in 2006. Next, he appeared in ''[[Rocky: The Rebel]]''. Khan revealed that he had ghost-written some scenes in the film. He had first begun script-writing when he was studying in London.

Both of his films in 2007 were action multi-starrers. Anubhav Sinha's ''[[Cash (2007 film)|Cash]]'' was originally meant to be the sequel to Dus, but ended up differently. Due to this, some of the cast of Dus also star in Cash. It performed reasonably well in its first week, but was unable to replicate the success of Dus and was eventually declared a flop. His next film, ''[[Speed (2007 film)|Speed]]'', also failed at the box office.

In 2008, Khan had the leading role as a news reporter in [[Apoorva Lakhia]]'s ''[[Mission Istaanbul]]'' opposite [[Vivek Oberoi]]. He also starred in the Bollywood remake of ''[[Rain Man]]'', ''[[Yuvvraaj]]'' with [[Salman Khan]], [[Katrina Kaif]] and [[Anil Kapoor]].

The following year, he featured in the underwater action thriller ''[[Blue (2009 film)|Blue]]''. At the time of its release, the film broke the record for having the highest budget for a Bollywood film. It had an excellent opening weekend on [[Diwali]], collecting {{INR}}480 million, but was a below-average grosser. He also filmed ''[[Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene]]'', a comedy thriller film. However, it ran into production hassles and was released in 2015.

Khan had a special appearance as an unfaithful fiancé in the 2010 [[Ranbir Kapoor]]–[[Priyanka Chopra]] starrer, ''[[Anjaana Anjaani]]''.

In 2011, the actor ventured into production with his co-owned production house, Born Free Entertainment along with friend and actress [[Dia Mirza]] and her husband, Sahil Sanga. Their first film, ''[[Love Breakups Zindagi]]'', was released on 7 October 2011, and was met with a lukewarm response.

In 2012, Khan played a supporting role in ''[[Tezz]]'', which stars Anil Kapoor and [[Ajay Devgan]] in the lead.

In August 2017, Khan made his television debut on a show called ''[[Haasil (Indian TV series)|Haasil]]'' playing the role of Ranvir Raichand opposite [[Vatsal Sheth]] and [[Nikita Dutta]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/zayed-khan-sizzles-as-ranvir-raichand-in-the-first-teaser-of-haasil-4808660/ |title=Zayed Khan sizzles as Ranvir Raichand in the first teaser of Haasil |work=[[The Indian Express]] |publisher=[[Indian Express Group]] |date=22 August 2017 |access-date=25 August 2017 |archive-date=25 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825191347/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/zayed-khan-sizzles-as-ranvir-raichand-in-the-first-teaser-of-haasil-4808660/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The show premiered in October 2017.
