'''Sedapatti R. Muthiah''' (born 4 October 1945) is an Indian politician of the [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]]. He was one of the leaders of the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) from its creation and was second in command in AIADMK till 1998. He is popularly known by the name Sedapattiar. He remains a popular politician in [[Madurai]] district and has a mass support base in [[T.Kallupatti]] Union.

==Early life and background==
Muthiah was born in the small village of Muthappanpatti 5 km from [[T. Kallupatti]]. He is a post-graduate (M.Sc) in Mathematics with Distinction from Thiyagarajar College, Madurai. Muthiah wanted to pursue Engineering after his PUC. Since he was from a rural background, he did not get admission into engineering college. He was into academics before moving into politics.

==Early political life==
R. Muthiah joined politics as Student Leader in [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) in the early days of Dravidian Movement. He took part in the [[anti-Hindi agitations]]. He was also a good orator in Tamil. When M.G.R started AIADMK lot of his supporters left DMK and joined in AIADMK. Muthiah along with his supporters joined as well given the fact that M.G.R had a major support in Madurai Region. In fact Muthiah was the first choice of M.G.R to contest from Dindidul constituency for the parties first election campaign since its inception in 1973. Due to some reasons, the chance went to [[Maya Thevar]].

==State politics==
Muthiah was chosen to stand from [[Sedapatti (State Assembly Constituency)|Sedapatti]] constituency under which hometown comes based on the support he had as a Student Leader in 1977. He won the elections and got elected to the Legislative Assembly. He went on to win consecutive elections from Sedapatti. He was made the Speaker of the Assembly in 1991 and continued his tenure till 1996. Due to his continued victory in all elections he became a household name of the region and hence was fondly called as "Sedappattiyar" by people of the area, which later became his name. During his time [[T.Kallupatti]] transitioned itself from a sleepy small village into a Town Panchayat administering 42 villages.
[[File:Sedpatti Muthiah with M.G.Ramachandiran.jpg|thumb|Sedpatti Muthiah with M.G.Ramachandiran]]

==National politics==
He was elected as a Member of Parliament twice from Periyakulam Constituency for [[Ninth Lok Sabha]] and [[Twelfth Lok Sabha]]. In the Twelfth Lok Sabha he Served as a Union Minister for Surface Transport in [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]] cabinet.<ref>http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/ie/daily/19980322/08150624.html</ref> He was in the post for a short period of time and had to resign due to a case in Chennai court. He graciously resigned from the post and faced the charges for the 42 lakh case.<ref>http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/.../09950294.html{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Political critics say DMK was behind the case. His resignation is a rare occurrence comparing the scams of recent years of very large proportion. He then served as Leader of AIADMK in the parliament and raised issues concerning people.

===Turning point===
During the [[Twelfth Lok Sabha]] Vajpayee called for a Vote of Confidence after AIADMK had withdrawn support to the government. In the end Vajpayee lost the Vote of Confidence by 1 vote, the Opposition had polled 270 votes and the BJP 269. He had to vote "against" the Confidence Motion as directed by AIADMK. But because of a Technical Error instead of No the machine displayed Abstained The voting machine showed that Mr. Muthiah abstained from voting. The technical issue was acknowledged by the Parliament Team but the same was not rectified by them at that time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19990501/ipo01078p.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-11-27 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010222725/http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19990501/ipo01078p.html |archivedate=10 October 2012 }}</ref> This led the AIADMK leader to think Muthiah plotted to save the Vajpayee Government and expelled him from the party. Political critics were surprised at how the technical error lead to the fall of a soft-spoken veteran politician . ''The Counter Thoughts of a Parliamentary Official'', written by Ramanujam Kodhandaraman, former Cabinet Deputy Secretary and former Goa State Secretary, describes what happened during the No Motion of Confidence in 12th Lok Sabha.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/20000417/ina17008.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-11-27 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010222739/http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/20000417/ina17008.html |archivedate=10 October 2012 }}</ref><ref>http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/ie/daily/19990418/ipo18003.html</ref>

===Post AIADMK===
[[File:Muthiah with Kalaingar Karunanidhi.jpg|thumb|Sedapatti Muthiah and his son Manimaran with Kalaingar Karunanidhi]]
Muthiah was shocked along with the lakhs of supporters on the news of his dismissal. He reacted saying it's Sasikala who is responsible for the issues. In 2001 elections he fielded his wife Mrs. Shakunthala and got a sizable number of votes almost denting most of AIADMK votes.<ref>http://eci.nic.in/archive/se2001/pollupd/ac/states/s22/Acnstcand136.htm#5</ref> He stayed away from politics for sometime and then joined DMK in 2008 and he became one of the office bearers of the DMK Electoral wing. Large number of his supporters from T. Kallupatti Union joined DMK which has enabled to a major mobilisation of votes for DMK during the Parliamentary elections. Now he is actively involved in all political events. He proved his power in his younger son's marriage which was presided over by M. Karunanidhi, then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.<ref>http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Jwwi9ujZ6IIJ:news.oneindia.in/2008/08/28/former-aiadmk-minister-selvaganapathy-joins-dmk-1219907702.html+Sedapatti+R+Muthiah&cd=33&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=in</ref>

==Personal life==
M.Manimaran, younger son of Sedapatti Muthiah is currently the Secretary of Madurai South District, DMK party. Sedapatti Muthiah's popularity and Manimaran's recent performance along with the larger families in nearby villages and Mukkulathor community has gained him fame. He also contested from [[Thirupparankundram]] constituency in 2016 State Elections but lost unfortunately.<ref name="tamilnadu_speakerslist">{{cite web|title=Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly: Details of terms of successive Legislative Assemblies constituted under the Constitution of India|publisher=Government of India|url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/STATISTICAL/tamilnadu.htm|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409221838/http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/STATISTICAL/tamilnadu.htm|archivedate=9 April 2009|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

'''Bhatoora''' (also known as '''batoora''', '''bhatura''', '''batura''', or '''pathora''') ({{lang-hi|भटूरा}}, {{lang-pa|ਭਟੂਰਾ}}) is a fluffy [[Deep fry|deep-fried]] [[Leavening agent|leavened]] sourdough bread originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Bhanwar|first=Seema|last2=Bamnia|first2=Meenakshi|last3=Ghosh|first3=Moushumi|last4=Ganguli|first4=Abhijit|date=2012|title=Use of Lactococcus lactis to enrich sourdough bread with g-aminobutyric acid|journal=International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition|pages=1-5}}</ref> It is commonly served as a midday meal or a breakast dish in northern and [[India]].<ref name=":0" /> Paired with [[chickpea]] [[curry]], called ''[[chana masala|'''chhole''']]'' or ''channe,'' it forms a traditional dish called ''[[chole bhature|chhole bhature]]'' which originated in Punjab.

This bread is like the [[Puri (food)|puri]] bread but is made with leavened dough.<ref>{{cite book |last=Ramineni |first=Shubhra |title=Entice With Spice: Easy Indian Recipes for Busy People |date=28 February 2012 |isbn=9781462905270 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LpXTAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT206}}</ref>

==Preparation==
A typical recipe includes all-purpose flour (''maida''), [[dahi (curd)|dahi]] (yogurt), ''[[ghee]]'' or oil, and either [[yeast]] or baking powder. Once kneaded well, the dough is left to rise, and then small balls of this dough are either hand-rolled or flattened using a rolling pin. The bread pieces are then deep fried until they puff up into a lightly browned, soft, fluffy bread, which is elastic and chewy.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gadia|first=Madhu|title=The Indian Vegan Kitchen|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|year=2009|pages=300}}</ref>

Bhatura is often eaten with yogurt, pickle, or vegetables. When eaten with chole, it forms a popular traditional dish known as [[chole bhature]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite book|last=Patel|first=Varsha|title=Recipes from My Home Kitchen|publisher=Xlibris Corporation|year=2013|pages=28}}</ref>

== Variations ==
A variation of this dish is to use semolina flour instead of all purpose flour. <ref>{{Cite book|last=Godbole|first=Nandita|title=A Dozen Ways to Celebrate: Twelve Decadent Feasts for the Culinary Indulgent|publisher=Curry Cravings|year=2014}}</ref> Other variations include ''aloo bhatura'' (bhatura filled with potato) and paneer bhatura (bhatura filled with [[paneer]]).

A nonfried variant is the ''[[kulcha]]'', which can be baked or cooked on a flat pan and is garnished with coriander leaves.

'''Kaka Hathrasi''' (18 September 1906 – 18 September 1995) was a [[Hindi]] [[Satire|satirist]] and [[List of humorists|humorist]] poet of India.

==Life and career==

Hathrasi was born as Prabhu Lal Garg. He wrote under the pen name ''Kaka Hathrasi''.

He has 42 works to his credit, comprising a collection of humorous and satirical poems, prose and plays published by various publishers.<ref name=pad/><ref>{{cite book |title=Hindustan year-book and who's who, Volume 53|publisher=M.

In 1932, he established ''Sangeet Karyalaya'' (initially Garg and Co.), a publishing house for the books on Indian classical music and dance and started publishing a monthly magazine ''Sangeet'' in 1935. ''Sangeet'' is the only periodical on Indian classical music and dance that has been continuously published for over 78 years.<ref>[http://www.sangeetkaryalaya.com/about-us.php About us] Sangeet Karyalaya website.</ref><ref name=cas>{{cite book |title=Cassette culture: popular music and technology in north India|author=Peter Lamarche Manuel|publisher=University of Chicago Press |year=1993|isbn=0-226-50401-8 |page=278 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q1JMZxYPNcYC&q=Kaka+Hathrasi&pg=PA278 }}</ref>

'''Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman''' ({{lang-ur|چودھری خلیق الزمان}}) (25 December 1889 — 18 May 1973) was a Pakistani [[politician]] and a very important Muslim figure during [[British India]].<ref name=findpk>{{cite web |url=http://www.cybercity-online.net/pof/chaudhry_khaliquzzaman.html |title=Profile of Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman |publisher=Cybercity-online.net |date=2001 |access-date=14 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029202609/http://www.cybercity-online.net/pof/chaudhry_khaliquzzaman.html |archive-date=29 October 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He was one of the top leaders of the [[All India Muslim League]].<ref name=findpk/>

==Early life and career==
He was born in [[Chunar]], an ancient town in UP's Mirzapur district in the [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|United Provinces]] (now [[Uttar Pradesh]]). At the time, his father, Chaudhry Muhammad Zaman, was a ''naib tehsildar'' (revenue officer) there. His younger brother, [[Salimuzzaman Siddiqui]] (1897 – 1994) was an eminent scientist and researcher in both [[British India]] and later in [[Pakistan]].<ref name=Dawn>{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/884351|author=Dr Ahmed S.

[[File:Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman.jpg|thumb|Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman seconding the [[Lahore resolution]] with [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] chairing the Lahore session in March 1940]]
Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman himself was not only a prominent Muslim League leader, but also one of the founding fathers of Pakistan.<ref name=Dawn/> At the time of [[independence of Pakistan]] on 14 August 1947, he was still serving as the Muslim League member of the ''Constituent Assembly of India'' and stayed behind to address that Indian Assembly.<ref name=findpk/> He was one of the four individuals who addressed the [[Constituent Assembly of India]] in the central hall of Parliament during the moment of Indian independence at midnight of August 14, 1947.<ref name=NYT>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0815.html#article|author=Robert Trumbull|work=The New York Times|title=India and Pakistan Become Nations; Clashes Continue|date=15 August 1947|access-date=14 January 2018}}</ref> The other three were [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], Dr. [[Rajendra Prasad]] and Dr. [[Radhakrishnan]].<ref name=NYT/> He migrated to newly-created Pakistan in November 1947, when Jinnah expressed his displeasure over his policy. He did not agree with the government of Pakistan that the Indian government was behind Muslims' killings. He was appointed the chief organizer of [[Muslim League (Pakistan)]]. Later he served as the first president of the [[Muslim League (Pakistan)]].

===Career positions in Pakistan===
* President of Muslim League (Pakistan) (1948 – 1950)
* Governor of [[East Pakistan]] (April 1953 – May 1954)<ref name=findpk/>
* [[Ambassador]] of Pakistan to Indonesia and the Philippines (1954)<ref name=findpk/>

In 1961, he published his memoirs entitled ''Pathway to Pakistan''. The Urdu version of the autobiography came out in 1967. It is entitled ''Shahrahay Pakistan''. This book is considered by many as a rare 'treasure house' of information on the [[Pakistan Movement]]. In this book, he wrote: "The two-nation theory, which we had used in the fight for Pakistan had created not only bad blood against the Muslims of the minority provinces, but also an ideological wedge between them and the Hindus of India." He further wrote: “Mr Jinnah himself realized the grave dangers to Muslims who after the partition were to be left in India. I remember that on 1 August 1947, a few days before his final departure for Karachi, Mr Jinnah called the Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly of India to his house at 10 [[Aurangzeb Road]] to bid farewell to them.

"Mr. Rizwanullah put some awkward questions concerning the position of Muslims, who would be left over in India, their status and their future. I had never before found Mr. Jinnah so disconcerted as on that occasion, probably because he was realizing then quite vividly what was immediately in store for the Muslims. Finding the situation awkward, I asked my friends and colleagues to the end the discussion. I believe as a result of our farewell meeting, Mr. Jinnah took the earliest opportunity to bid goodbye to his two-nation theory in his speech on 11 August 1947 as the governor general-designate and President of the constituent assembly of Pakistan."

"He ([[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]]) doubted the utility of the two-nation theory, which to my mind also had never paid any dividends to us. But after the partition, it proved positively injurious to the Muslims of India, and on a long-view basis for Muslims everywhere." According to him, [[Jinnah]] bade farewell to it in his famous speech of August 11, 1947.

He was one of the most active leaders of Pakistan movement. He seconded the [[Lahore Resolution]], which was presented by Sher-i-Bengal Fazlul Haq in March 1940 to create Pakistan.<ref name=findpk/>

== Reception==
Kher allotted plots of land in Bandra East to people belonging to the Hindu-Khatik (Scheduled caste) community in 1950–51. That area is known as Kherwadi in his memory. Kher established schools and a hospital, and provided electricity and water supply for people staying in Kherwadi. The Hindu-Khatik community celebrates his birthday at his statue at the Nanda Deep Garden, Kala Nagar, Bandra East.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}}

Declassified MI5 documents were appreciative of Kher and described him as preferable to other political candidates, due to his honesty, sincerity and a preference for the "Anglo" way of administration.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-03-03/rest-of-world/27888109_1_krishna-menon-indian-high-commissioner-documents |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130517110647/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-03-03/rest-of-world/27888109_1_krishna-menon-indian-high-commissioner-documents |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 May 2013 |title=Krishna Menon a sick man, say MI5 documents|author=Rashmee Roshan Lall |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=3 March 2007 }}</ref>
