{{Short description|Road which supplies electric power to vehicles travelling on it}}
{{Use mdy dates |date=January 2026}}

[[File:Electric road systems.svg|thumb|Three types of electric road systems. An electric bus (black) traveling along a road (gray) receives power: (A) with three [[Inductive charging#Transportation|inductive pickups]] (red) from a strip of resonant inductive coils (blue) under the road surface; (B) with a [[current collector]] (red) sliding over a [[ground-level power supply]] rail segment (blue) flush with the road surface; (C) with an overhead current collector (red) sliding against a powered [[overhead line]] (blue)]]

An '''electric road''', '''eroad''', '''e-roadway''', or '''electric road system''' (ERS) is a road which supplies electric power to vehicles travelling on it. Common implementations are [[Overhead line|overhead power lines]] above the road, [[ground-level power supply]] through conductive rails, and dynamic [[wireless power transfer]] (DWPT) through [[Inductive charging#Transportation|resonant inductive coils]] or inductive cables embedded in the road.

Overhead power lines are limited to commercial vehicles while ground-level rails and inductive power transfer can be used by any vehicle, which allows for public charging through a system for power metering and billing.<ref name="RGRA2022" /> Research papers for the [[government of Sweden]], published in 2019,<ref name="Fernandez">{{citation|url=http://emobilitycentre.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Power-Conversion-Challenges-with-an-All-Electric-Land-Transport-System.pdf|title=Power conversion challenges with an all-electric land transport system|author=Francisco J.

{{As of|2024}} there were about 10 operational ERS demonstrators around the world, and their business cases and deployment strategies are being evaluated.<ref name="PIARC-austria-2025" /> As of 2025 [[#Standardization|electric road technical standards]] are only available for in-road rail of the three ERS technologies.

Other than describing electric road systems, terms like "electric highway" may also describe regular roads fitted with [[charging station]]s at regular intervals.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/western-australia-building-countrys-longest-electric-highway | title=Western Australia building country's longest 'electric highway' | date=19 August 2021 }}</ref>

==Technology==
[[Transport Research Laboratory|TRL]] (formerly Transport Research Laboratory), in a late 2010s overview of the subject, listed three power delivery types for dynamic charging, or charging while the vehicle is in motion: [[overhead line|overhead power lines]], [[Ground-level power supply|ground level power]] through rails, and [[Inductive charging#Transportation|induction]] through rails or resonant coils. The TRL overview lists overhead power as the most technologically mature solution which provides the highest levels of power, but the technology is unsuitable for non-commercial vehicles. Ground-level power is suitable for all vehicles, with rail being a mature solution with high transfer of power and easily accessible and inspected elements. Inductive charging delivers the least power and requires more electrical roadside equipment than the alternatives.<ref name="TRL" />{{rp|at=Appendix D}}

The electric road studies by the French government published in 2021 similarly found in-road rail as the most suitable and cost-effective solution. One of the studies ruled out overhead lines due to safety concerns, and another ruled out inductive charging as it didn't meet France's 250 kW minimum average power requirement.<ref name="RGRA2022">{{citation |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251027151305/https://www.editions-rgra.com/system/files/dossiers/p01-32_rgra_989_dossier_ers_ve.pdf |title=ERS to decarbonize road transport |author=Éric Ollinger |journal=RGRA |issue=March-April 2022 |publisher=Revue générale des routes et de l'aménagement |pp=18–21, 28}}</ref>

===Safety===
Overhead line ERS were assessed in 2024 by the German Ministry of Economy, [[BMWK]], as a safety risks for emergency services, and the lines' roadside poles were assessed as a collision risk for motorists.<ref name="germany-overhead-safety"/>

Wireless ERS were noted by [[SAE International]] as not having have well-established foreign object detection technologies as of 2023. SAE proposed establishing safety tests for these technologies, as foreign objects pose a fire or burn risk if metals or organisms are between the ground pad and the receiver when the system is active.<ref name="SAE-DWPT-standards" /> [[Inductive charging#Transportation|Wireless inductive ERS]] is being tested by France in 2026 for compliance with regulatory allowable [[noise (electronics)|electromagnetic noise]] levels.<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.editions-rgra.com/revue/1014/recherche-et-innovation/charge-you-drive-experimentation-sur-autoroute-dune-solution-de |title=Charge As You Drive : expérimentation sur autoroute d’une solution de recharge dynamique |date=February 2026 |journal=RGRA N° 1014}}</ref>

==== Wireless electric roads ====
Standards for inductive charging for vehicles have been available since 2020, though they are not immediately suited for electric roads. For instance, the CEO of IPT, a vehicle inductive power transfer company, regards the existing standards as "extremely expensive" for use in electric roads. Cost-effective implementations are being explored by IPT using its Primove inductive cables technology<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.emobility-engineering.com/wireless-charging/ |title=Wireless Charging |date=September 6, 2021 |author=E-Mobility Engineering staff}}</ref> which it bought in 2021 from [[Bombardier Inc.|Bombardier]].<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGseqj4h8Zk |title= IPT - 25 years in 2 minutes |author=IPT Technology ENRX |website=[[YouTube]] |date=May 20, 2022}}</ref> WiPowerOne (an offshoot of the [[Online Electric Vehicle|KAIST OLEV]] project) and Electreon, two wireless electric road companies, have been working on new dynamic inductive charging standards since 2021.<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xdJMoz_WA |title=Electric Road Systems - PIARC Online Discussion - 17 February 2021 |at=2 hours and 17 minutes into the video}}</ref> ENRX, which is composed of several companies including IPT,<ref>{{citation |url=https://arendalsfossekompani.no/en/news/enrx-a-new-powerhouse-in-advanced-induction-technology |title=ENRX: A new powerhouse in advanced induction technology |author=ENRX |date=Mar 27, 2023}}</ref> announced in November 2024 that it plans to collaborate with InductEV to standardize dynamic wireless power transfer.<ref>{{citation |url=https://bus-news.com/enrx-and-inductev-agreement-to-standardise/ |title=ENRX and InductEV: Agreement to Standardise |website=Bus-News |date=November 27, 2024 |author=ENRX}}</ref> SAE International has started developing standards for dynamic wireless power transfer in 2023.<ref name="SAE-DWPT-standards">{{citation|publisher=US Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration|date=December 2024|title=Effectiveness of Wireless Charging for Electric Transit Buses|author=Katrina Sutton|url=https://www.transit.dot.gov/sites/fta.dot.gov/files/2024-12/FTA-Report-No-0270.pdf|website=FTA Reports and Publications |pages=10–13}}</ref>

A 2020 [[Swedish Transport Administration electric road program]] report anticipated that a national electric road network would require interfaces between several players: the electricity supplier, the [[power grid]] company, the [[automotive industry|vehicle manufacturer]], the road owner, the electric road technology operator, the metering and billing provider, and the user of the electric road. The ownership model can vary: the power grid company may own the secondary roadside [[electrical substation]]s that power the electric road infrastructure or they may be owned by other players, and the power reading and payment system may be owned by a player separate from the infrastructure operator.<ref name="businessmodel">{{citation|url=https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1553081/FULLTEXT01.pdf|title=Electrification of Heavy Road Transport - business models phase 5|date=August 4, 2020|author=Björn Hasselgren|publisher=Swedish Transport Administration}}</ref>{{Rp|15–17}}

A 2026 review of electric road systems (ERS) by participants in the [[Transport in France#Electric roads|ERS trials for the French government]] reported that ERS operators could promote ERS usage with its low cost to users. Operators can purchase energy at around €0.09/kWh and sell it to ERS users at around €0.19/kWh, a lower cost than the average rate for home charging in France. At these rates, the gross [[profit margin]] would be over 50%. Return on investment would be 4% annually over 32 years due to upfront costs of infrastructure, and maintenance and operating costs. Contemporary toll roads in France charge significantly more per kilometer driven than what ERS charging per kilometer would cost at 50% gross margin, allowing toll road operators to implement ERS, which would, along with the lower electricity cost, incentivize toll road users to install ERS chargers on their vehicles. Energy savings increase with the weight of the vehicle; large diesel truck operators that would switch to battery-electric ERS trucks would recoup over 93% of the toll road charge in fuel cost savings along the toll road. These factors financially allow the implementation of ERS through the French toll highway concession model. Countries without a concession model could use [[public–private partnership]]s for the same end.<ref>{{citation |contribution=Electric road systems: latest advances in France |author1=N.

A model developed for eRoadMontBlanc, one of the [[Transport in France#Electric roads|ERS trial projects in France]], estimates that to meet charging demand a 44 tonne truck on the [[A6 autoroute]], ERS would be required to be deployed on 94% of the road if it charges at 300 kW, 52% at 400 kW, or 41% at 500 kW, which is the maximum power that the ERS is currently able to provide.<ref name="RGRA-1014">{{citation |url=https://www.editions-rgra.com/revue/1014/recherche-et-innovation/projet-eroadmontblanc-route-electrique-pour-la-recharge-dynamique |title=Projet eRoadMontBlanc : route électrique pour la recharge dynamique des véhicules par conduction |date=February 2026 |journal=RGRA N° 1014}}</ref>

==Early implementations==
[[File:Irisbus Cristalis ETB 12 n°115 TCL Place Carnot.jpg|thumb|[[Irisbus]] Cristalis trolleybus using overhead power lines in [[Limoges]], France, 2015]]
Overhead power lines have been used for road transport since at least 1882 in Berlin with [[Werner von Siemens|Werner von Siemens's]] [[trolley bus]]es. Over 300 trolley bus systems were in operation in 2018. Power to trolley buses is normally delivered using a pair of [[trolley pole]]s positioned on top of the vehicle which extends to the [[Overhead line#Parallel overhead lines|overhead power lines]]. Implementations for highway vehicles have been developed in the late 2000s and 2010s<ref name="WRA">{{citation|url=https://www.trafikverket.se/contentassets/2d8f4da1602a497b82ab6368e93baa6a/piarc_elvag.pdf|title=Electric road systems: a solution for the future?|publisher=[[World Road Association]]|year=2018|isbn=978-2-84060-496-9 }}</ref>{{rp|15}} but they are not suitable for non-commercial vehicles such as passenger cars.<ref name="TRL" />{{rp|at=Appendix D}}

[[Ground-level power supply]] in the form of electrified rails is similar to overhead power lines in implementation. Instead of an arm or pole extending to overhead power lines, a mechanical arm extends from the bottom of the vehicle and aligns with a rail embedded in the road. The rail is then powered, and power is transferred through the arm to the vehicle.<ref name="WRA"/>{{rp|16}} Ground-level power supply is considered aesthetically preferable to overhead wires<ref name="WRA"/>{{rp|20}} and it is suited for all types of vehicles.<ref name="TRL"/>{{rp|24}}

The concept of a wireless ground-level power supply for vehicles was first patented in 1894. A static-charging system for shuttle buses was demonstrated in New Zealand in 1996 using inductive coils.<ref name="WRA"/>{{rp|13}} Similar stationary charging systems for buses and other vehicles have been implemented by Conductix-Wampfler and Bombardier Primove. Primove was further enhanced to include dynamic charging while driving using inductive cables.<ref name="TRL"/>{{rp|at=Appendix B}}

Development of electric road systems has matured significantly from the late 1990s through the 2010s.<ref name="TRL"/>{{rp|12–22}} Several companies have developed and implemented electric road systems in the 2010s.<ref name="TRL"/>{{rp|at=Appendix B}}

==National network projects==
Government studies and trials have been conducted in several countries seeking a national electric road network:

Wireless electric road system (wERS) trials were conducted in 2023 by the German Ministry of Economy, [[BMWK]], with infrastructure by Electreon. A bus was equipped with inductive coils that receive power from a 200-meter strip of transmitters under the road surface. The receivers were able to collect 64.3% of the energy emitted from the transmitters. Installation proved complex and costly, and finding suitable locations for the coils' roadside power cabinets proved difficult. The wERS infrastructure blocked access to all civil infrastructure beneath it. Internet access outages caused the wERS infrastructure to stop functioning entirely.<ref name="WPTCE-japan-2024">A.

France plans to invest 30 to 40 billion euro by 2035 in an electric road system spanning 8,800 kilometers that recharges electric cars, buses and trucks while driving. Two projects for assessment of electric road technologies were announced in 2023. Three technologies were originally considered: [[ground-level power supply]], [[Inductive charging#Transportation|inductive charging]], and [[overhead lines]]. Ground-level power supply technologies, provided by [[Alstom]], Elonroad, and others, are considered the most likely candidate for electric roads. Inductive charging is not considered a mature technology as it delivers the least power, loses 20%-25% of the supplied power when installed on trucks, and its health effects have yet to be documented. Overhead lines is the most mature technology, but the catenaries and overhead wires pose safety and maintenance issues,<ref name="ers-france-2022">{{citation |url=https://www.lemoniteur.fr/article/mobilite-electrique-2-5-une-fenetre-etroite-pour-brancher-les-autoroutes.2203237 |title=Sur les routes de la mobilité électrique |author=Laurent Miguet |date=April 28, 2022 |website=[[Le Moniteur des travaux publics et du bâtiment|Le Moniteur]]}}</ref> and motorway companies find overhead lines too expensive.<ref name="usinenouvelle-may-2024">{{citation |url=https://www.usinenouvelle.com/article/les-autoroutiers-divises-sur-les-solutions-a-mettre-en-place-pour-faire-rouler-des-camions-electriques.N2208923 |title=Les autoroutiers divisés sur les solutions à mettre en place pour faire rouler des camions électriques |author=Marc Fressoz |date=May 9, 2024 |website=L'USINENOUVELLE.com}}</ref>

'''Haleem''' or '''halim''' is a type of [[stew]] that is widely consumed in [[South Asia]], the [[Middle East]] and [[Central Asia]]. Although the dish varies from region to region, it optionally includes [[wheat]] or [[barley]], [[lentils]] and meat. It is made by slow cooking the meat in lentils and spices. It is served hot with flat breads or on its own. Popular variations of haleem include [[keşkek]] (in [[Turkey]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Uzbekistan]], [[Azerbaijan]] and [[Kurdistan Region|Northern Iraq]]); [[harees|haris]]a (in the [[Arab world]] and [[Armenia]]); halim (in [[Afghanistan]], [[Iran]], [[West Bengal]], [[Mauritius]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Bangladesh]]); and [[Hyderabadi haleem]] (in [[India]]).<ref name="sunday-guardian.com">{{cite web |last=Daniyal |first=Shoaib |date=2014-07-23 |title=The history of haleem: How a bland iftar dish from Yemen got Indianised |url=https://www.sunday-guardian.com/artbeat/the-history-of-haleem-how-a-bland-iftar-dish-from-yemen-got-indianised |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728223450/https://www.sunday-guardian.com/artbeat/the-history-of-haleem-how-a-bland-iftar-dish-from-yemen-got-indianised |archive-date=2014-07-28 |access-date=2024-06-28 |website=sunday-guardian.com}}</ref>

==Preparation==
[[File:Haleem Dalls and Grains.JPG|thumb|Haleem [[lentil]]s and grains|281x281px]]
Haleem is made of four main components:
* Grain: wheat or [[barley]] is almost always present. [[Legume|Pulses]] (such as [[lentil]]s) and rice are used depending on the originating region of a recipe.
* Meat: usually [[beef]] or [[lamb and mutton]]; [[goat meat]]; or [[Chicken as food|chicken]]
* Spices: containing a wide variety, including [[Senna (plant)|cassia]] and [[fennel]], among others.
* Cooking liquid: either water, milk, or a [[broth]].

This dish is slow-cooked for seven to eight hours and then vigorously stirred or beaten with a [[Mortar and pestle|pestle-like]] stirring stick. This results in a paste-like consistency, blending the flavors of spices, meat, barley, and wheat.

==Origin==
The origin of Haleem lies in the popular Arabian dish known as [[Harees]] (also written as [[Harees|Jareesh]]). According to Shoaib Daniyal, writing in ''[[The Sunday Guardian]]'', the first written recipe of Harees dates back to the [[10th century]], when Arab scribe Abu Muhammad al-Muzaffar ibn Sayyar compiled a cookbook of dishes popular with the "kings and caliphs and lords and leaders" of [[Baghdad]]. "The version described in his Kitab Al-Tabikh (Book of Recipes), the world's oldest surviving Arabic cookbook, is strikingly similar to the one people in the [[Middle East]] eat to this day" it reported. The Harees was cooked as the [[Arab empire (disambiguation)|Arab empire]] was extended to different parts of the world. [[Harees]] was traditionally made with meat, wheat, and sometimes lentils, slow-cooked until soft and porridge-like in consistency. The dish spread through the [[Islamic world|Muslim world]], especially during the [[Islamic caliphates|Islamic Caliphates]], reaching [[Persia]]''',''' [[Central Asia]]''',''' and the [[Indian subcontinent]] through trade and conquest.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Haider |first=M. H. |date=2024-03-31 |title=The origins of haleem |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/my-dhaka/news/the-origins-haleem-3578886 |access-date=2025-10-13 |website=The Daily Star |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
{{unreferenced section|date=December 2025}}

The dish now known as haleem is believed to have been introduced to the Indian subcontinent through Arab traders, missionaries, and military expeditions, particularly between the 12th and 16th centuries. This period marked increased contact between the [[Middle East]] and [[South Asia]], facilitated by [[Maritime transport|maritime trade]] routes in the [[Arabian Sea]] and overland connections through [[Persia]] and [[Central Asia]]. A 10th century cookbook, 'Kitabh al Tabikh' (Book of Dishes) by Ibn Sayaar Al Warraq, has numerous versions of this porridge.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The haleem evolution {{!}} The Daily Star |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/lifestyle/foodie-talks/news/the-haleem-evolution-1632004 |access-date=2026-03-01 |website=www.thedailystar.net |language=en}}</ref>

One of the key phases in this transmission was during the [[Delhi Sultanate]] period (1206–1526), when Muslim rule was established across large parts of [[North India|northern India]]. Arab and Persian cultural influences, including culinary practices, were introduced by the ruling elite, soldiers, and [[Sufi Saints of South Asia|Sufi saints]]. Among these influences was ''[[harees]]'', a meat and wheat porridge widely consumed in the [[Arab world]].

During the [[Mughal Empire]] (1526–1857), which further strengthened [[Persianate society|Persianate culture]] in the Indian subcontinent, the dish continued to evolve. The imperial kitchens of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] were known for adapting and refining foreign dishes using indigenous ingredients and spices. [[Harees]] gradually transformed into haleem, as local cooks incorporated [[South Asia]]n spices such as [[cumin]], [[coriander]], [[turmeric]], and [[garam masala]]; [[clarified butter]] ([[ghee]]) for richness; and a more finely blended texture, achieved through slow-cooking and mashing.

As a result, haleem in [[South Asia]] became spicier and more aromatic than its [[Arab world|Arab]] counterpart, developing into a unique dish that reflected the regional palate.

==Cultural history==
Haleem is sold as a snack food in [[bazaar]]s throughout the year. It is also a special dish prepared throughout the world during the [[Ramadan]] and [[Muharram]] months of the [[Muslim]] [[Islamic calendar|Hijri calendar]], particularly among [[Pakistanis]] and [[Indian Muslims]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Observing Ramadan: Maine family expresses faith by sharing traditional Pakistani dish |first=Meredith |last=Goad |url=https://www.pressherald.com/2015/07/08/observing-ramadan-maine-family-expresses-faith-by-sharing-traditional-pakistani-dish/ |newspaper=[[Portland Press Herald]] |access-date=14 March 2022 |date=8 July 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Srinivas |first1=M. |title=City in for flavours of Haleem |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/city-in-for-flavours-of-haleem/article7420077.ece |newspaper=The Hindu |access-date=14 July 2015}}</ref> The name of this dish is the same as [[Names of God in Islam|one of the names of Allah]], specifically ''[[Al Haleem]]'' ({{literal translation}} {{gloss|The Forbearing}}). Some South Asian Muslims have started to refer to this dish as ''Daleem'', reasoning that it is more correct since the South Asian version of this dish contains large amounts of ''dal'', or lentils.<ref name=daleem/> It is mostly still referred to as Haleem.

In India, haleem prepared in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] during the Ramadan month,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pathak |first1=Sushmita |title=Breaking the Ramadan fast: In one city, a special stew with goat and rose petals |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/04/29/1094891439/ramadan-haleem-hyderabad-india-food |access-date=25 March 2023 |work=[[NPR]] |date=March 22, 2023}}</ref> is transported all over the world through a special courier service.

[[File:Bangladeshi style Shahi Haleem.jpg|thumb|Bangladeshi style Shahi Haleem in Dhaka]]
Haleem is also very popular in [[Bangladesh]], especially during the holy month of Ramadan, when it is a staple dish.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Khan |first1=Arman R. |last2=Mustabina |first2=Labiba |title=Iftar Offers You Can't Refuse |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/shout/cover-story/iftar-offers-you-cant-refuse-105247 |newspaper=The Daily Star |access-date=14 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Celebrate Ramadan at Khazana |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/lifestyle/check-it-out/celebrate-ramadan-khazana-101251 |newspaper=The Daily Star |access-date=14 July 2015}}</ref> However, the Bangladeshi version of halim differs from other areas slightly as the meat and bones are stewed and kept as small pieces instead of mashing them with the lentil soup. In addition, the variety of spices used is also different. One common Bangladeshi version of Halim is called "Shahi Halim"; it is mostly popular in the central part of the country.

In [[Pakistan]], Haleem is available all year round, as well as in most Pakistani restaurants around the world. Haleem is sold as a [[snack food]] and [[street food]] in Pakistani [[bazaar]]s throughout the year.<ref>{{cite news |title=Best Haleem in town |first1=Maryam |last1=Usman |first2=Rana |last2=Yasif |first3=Muzaffar |last3=Mukhtar |first4=Tooba |last4=Masood |first5=Hidayat |last5=Khan |first6=Shahzeb |last6=Ahmed |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/787839/best-haleem-in-town |access-date=14 March 2022 |date=9 November 2014 |newspaper=The Express Tribune |location=Karachi }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The ultimate guide to: The best desi food in Karachi |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1140694 |date=27 October 2014 |first=Salima |last=Feerasta |newspaper=[[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn]] |access-date=14 March 2022 }}</ref>

'''His Holiness Kesavananda Bharati Sripadagalvaru & Ors. v. State of Kerala & Anr.''' (Writ Petition (Civil) 135 of 1970), also known as the '''Kesavananda Bharati judgement''', was a [[List of landmark court decisions in India|landmark decision]] of the [[Supreme Court of India]] that outlined the [[Basic structure doctrine (Constitution of India)|basic structure doctrine]] of the [[Constitution of India|Indian Constitution]].<ref name=ik-257876>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/257876/|title=Kesavananda Bharati ... vs State Of Kerala And Anr on 24 April, 1973|publisher=Indian Kanoon|access-date=2012-06-24}}</ref> The case is also known as the '''Fundamental Rights Case'''. The court in a 7-6 decision asserted its right to strike down amendments to the constitution that were in violation of the fundamental architecture of the constitution. <ref name="Keane Chowdhury">{{cite news |last1=Keane |first1=Debasish Roy Chowdhury & John |title=From checks and balances to compliance: How the judiciary has responded to government pressure |url=https://scroll.in/article/1013211/from-checks-and-balances-to-compliance-how-the-judiciary-has-responded-to-government-pressure |work=Scroll.in |date=21 December 2021}}</ref>

[[Supreme Court of India|Justice]] [[Hans Raj Khanna]] argued that the Constitution possesses a basic structure of constitutional principles and values. The Court partially cemented the prior precedent ''[[I.C. Golaknath and Ors. v. State of Punjab and Anrs.|Golaknath v. State of Punjab]]'', which held that [[constitutional amendment]]s through [[Amendment of the Constitution of India#Amendments under article 368|Article 368]] were subject to fundamental rights review, but only if they could affect the 'basic structure of the Constitution'. At the same time, the Court also upheld the constitutionality of the first provision of Article 31-C, which implied that laws seeking to implement the [[Directive Principles]], which do not affect the 'Basic Structure,' shall not be subjected to judicial review.

The doctrine forms the basis of power of the [[Judiciary of India|Indian judiciary]] to review and override [[amendment of the Constitution of India|amendments to the Constitution of India]] enacted by the [[Parliament of India|Indian parliament]].

The 13-judge [[Constitution Bench (India)|Constitution bench]] of the Supreme Court deliberated on the limitations, if any, of the powers of the elected representatives of the people and the nature of fundamental rights of an individual. In a verdict divided 7–6, the court held that while the Parliament has 'wide' powers, it did not have the power to destroy or emasculate the basic elements or fundamental features of the constitution.<ref name="ik-257876" />

When this case was decided, the underlying apprehension of the majority bench that elected representatives could not be trusted to act responsibly was unprecedented. The ''Kesavananda'' judgment also defined the extent to which Parliament could restrict [[Right to property|property rights]], in pursuit of land reform and the redistribution of large landholdings to cultivators, overruling previous decisions that suggested that the right to property could not be restricted. The case was a culmination of a series of cases relating to limitations to the power to amend the Constitution.

==Judgement==
The Supreme Court reviewed the decision in ''[[I. C. Golaknath and Others v. State of Punjab and Anothers|Golaknath v. State of Punjab]]'' in which it was held that Parliament cannot amend the fundamental rights, and considered the validity of the article 24th, 25th, 26th and 29th amendments. The case was heard by the largest ever Constitution Bench of 13 Judges. The bench gave eleven separate judgments, which agreed in some points and differed on others.<ref name="Lok Sabha Secretariat">{{cite web|title=Constitution Amendment: Nature and Scope of the Amending Process|url=http://164.100.47.134/intranet/CAI/1.pdf|work=Lok Sabha Secretariat|access-date=1 December 2013|pages=16–17|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203013055/http://164.100.47.134/intranet/CAI/1.pdf|archive-date=3 December 2013}} {{PD-notice}}</ref> [[Nanabhoy Palkhivala]], assisted by [[Fali Nariman]] and [[Soli Sorabjee]], presented the case against the government in both cases.<ref name=nujs-todays-promise>{{cite journal|url=http://www.nujslawreview.org/articles2008vol1no3/satya_prateek.pdf |title=Today's Promise, Tomorrow's Constitution: 'Basic Structure', Constitutional Transformations And The Future Of Political Progress In India |author=Satya Prateek |journal=NUJS Law Review |publisher=[[West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences]] |volume=1 |issue=3 |year=2008 |access-date=2012-07-17 }}{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===Majority judgement===

Upholding the validity of clause 1 of article 13 and a corresponding provision in article 368(3), inserted by the 24th Amendment, the Court reversed its ruling in ''[[I. C. Golaknath and Others v. State of Punjab and Anothers|Golaknath v. State of Punjab]]'' and settled in favour of the view that Parliament has the power to amend the fundamental rights. However, the Court affirmed another proposition also asserted in the Golaknath case, by ruling that the expression "amendment" of this Constitution in article 368 means any addition or change in any of the provisions of the Constitution within the broad contours of the Preamble and the Constitution to carry out the objectives in the Preamble and the Directive Principles. Applied to fundamental rights, it would be that while fundamental rights cannot be abrogated, reasonable abridgement of fundamental rights could be affected in the public interest. The true position is that every provision of the Constitution can be amended provided the basic foundation and structure of the Constitution remains the same.<ref name = "Lok Sabha Secretariat"/>

====S.M. Sikri, Chief Justice====
[[Chief Justice of India|CJI]] [[S M Sikri]] held that the fundamental importance of the freedom of the individual has to be preserved for all times to come and that it could not be amended out of existence. According to the Chief Justice, fundamental rights conferred by [[Fundamental Rights in India|Part III]] of the [[Constitution of India]] cannot be abrogated, though a reasonable abridgment of those rights could be effected in public interest. There is a limitation on the power of amendment by necessary implication which was apparent from a reading of the preamble and therefore, according to the learned Chief Justice, the expression 'amendment of this Constitution,' in [[amendment of the Constitution of India|Article 368]], means any addition or change in any of the provisions of the Constitution within the broad contours of the preamble, made in order to carry out the basic objectives of the Constitution. Accordingly, every provision of the Constitution was open to amendment provided the basic foundation or structure of the Constitution was not damaged or destroyed.

====Shelat and Grover, JJ====
Held that the preamble to the Constitution contains the clue to the fundamentals of the Constitution. According to the learned Judges, Parts III and IV of the Constitution which respectively embody the fundamental rights and the directive principles have to be balanced and harmonised. This balance & harmony between two integral parts of the Constitution forms a basic element of the Constitution which cannot be altered. The word 'amendment' occurring in [[amendment of the Constitution of India|Article 368]] must therefore be construed in such a manner as to preserve the power of the Parliament to amend the Constitution, but not so as to result in damaging or destroying the structure and identity of the Constitution. There was thus an implied limitation on the amending power which prevented the Parliament from abolishing or changing the identity of the Constitution or any of its Basic Structure.

==== Hegde and Mukherjea, JJ ====
Held that the Constitution of India which is essentially a social rather than a political document, is founded on a social philosophy and as such has two main features basic and circumstantial. The basic constituent remained constant, the circumstantial was subject to change. According to the learned Judges, the broad contours of the basic elements and the fundamental features of the Constitution are delineated in the preamble and the Parliament has no power to abolish or emasculate those basic elements of fundamental features. The building of a welfare State is the ultimate goal of every Government but that does not mean that in order to build a welfare State, human freedoms have to suffer a total destruction. Applying these tests, the learned Judges invalidated Article 31C even in its un-amended form.

====Jaganmohan Reddy, J====
Held that the word 'amendment' was used in the sense of permitting a change, in contradistinction to destruction, which the repeal or abrogation brings about. Therefore, the width of the power of amendment could not be enlarged by amending the amending power itself. The learned Judge held that the essential elements of the basic structure of the Constitution are reflected in its preamble and that some of the important features of the Constitution are justice, freedom of expression and equality of status and opportunity. The word 'amendment' could not possibly embrace the right to abrogate the pivotal features and the fundamental freedoms and therefore, that part of the basic structure could not be damaged or destroyed. According to the learned Judge, the provisions of Article 31d, as they, conferring power on Parliament and the State Legislatures to enact laws for giving effect to the principles specified in Clauses (b) and (c) of Article 39, altogether abrogated the right given by Article 14 and were for that reason unconstitutional. In conclusion, the learned Judge held that though the power of amendment was wide, it did not comprehend the power to totally abrogate or emasculate or damage any of the fundamental rights or the essential elements of the basic structure of the Constitution or to destroy the identity of the Constitution. Subject to these limitations, Parliament had the right to amend any and every provision of the Constitution.

====H R Khanna J.====
[[H R Khanna]] has given in his judgment that the Parliament had full power to amend the Constitution, however, since it is only a 'power to amend,' the basic structure or framework of the structure should remain intact. While as per the aforesaid views of the six learned Judges, certain "essential elements" (which included fundamental rights) of the judgment cannot be amended as there are certain implied restrictions on the powers of the parliament of India.

According to the Judge, although it was permissible for the Parliament to effect changes in the exercise of its amending power so as to meet the requirements of changing conditions, it was not permissible to touch the foundation or to alter the basic institutional pattern. Therefore, the words 'amendment of the Constitution' in spite of the width of their sweep and in spite of their amplitude, could not have the effect of empowering the Parliament to destroy or abrogate the basic structure or framework of the Constitution.

This gave birth to the [[basic structure doctrine]], which has been considered as the cornerstone of the Constitutional law in India.<ref name="hindu-revisiting"/><ref name="Basic structure of the Constitution revisited">{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/basic-structure-of-the-constitution-revisited/article1845048.ece|title=Basic structure of the Constitution revisited|work= The Hindu|date=21 May 2007|access-date=2015-05-25|location=Delhi, India}}</ref>

==Significance==

The government of [[Indira Gandhi]] did not take kindly to this restriction on its powers by the court. On 26 April 1973, Justice [[Ajit Nath Ray]], who was among the dissenters, was promoted to [[Chief Justice of India]] superseding three senior Judges, Shelat, Grover and Hegde, which was unprecedented in Indian legal history.<ref name=scba>[http://www.lexsite.com/services/network/scba/history.shtml Supreme Court Bar Association] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091004035407/http://www.lexsite.com/services/network/scba/history.shtml |date=2009-10-04 }}</ref>

The [[Forty-second amendment of the Indian Constitution|42nd Amendment]], enacted in 1976, is considered to be the immediate and most direct fall out of the judgment. Apart from it, the judgement cleared the deck for complete legislative authority to amend any part of the Constitution except when the amendments are not in consonance with the basic features of the Constitution.

In the 1975 case ''Indira Nehru Gandhi v. Raj Narain'', a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court used the basic structure doctrine to strike down the 39th amendment. The [[Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution of India|39th Amendment]] was passed in 1975, during [[The Emergency (India)|The Emergency]] and placed the election of the [[President of India|President]], the [[Vice President of India|Vice President]], the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] and the [[Speaker of the Lok Sabha]] beyond the scrutiny of the Indian courts.<ref name="THE CONSTITUTION (THIRTY-NINTH AMENDMENT) ACT, 1975">{{cite web | url=http://india.gov.in/govt/documents/amendment/amend39.htm | title=THE CONSTITUTION (THIRTY-NINTH AMENDMENT) ACT, 1975 | publisher=india.gov.in | access-date=7 May 2012}}</ref><ref name="hindu-revisiting">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2901/stories/20120127290107100.htm |title=Revisiting a verdict |publisher=Frontline |date=14–27 January 2012 |access-date=2012-06-24 |location=Chennai, India |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203063934/http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2901/stories/20120127290107100.htm |archive-date=2013-12-03 }}</ref> Adopting this amendment was a move to suppress Gandhi's prosecution.

The basic structure doctrine was also adopted by the [[Supreme Court of Bangladesh]] in 1989, by expressly relying on the reasoning in the ''Kesavananda'' case, in its ruling on ''Anwar Hossain Chowdhury v. Bangladesh'' (41 DLR 1989 App. Div. 165, 1989 BLD (Spl.) 1).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1809/18090950.htm |title=Behind the 'basic structure' doctrine |access-date=2013-12-02 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101220120644/http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1809/18090950.htm |archive-date=2010-12-20 }}</ref>

'''Sir Vijay Raghubar Singh''', [[Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire|KBE]] (13 July 1931 – 25 September 2006) was an [[Indians in Fiji|Indo-Fijian]] lawyer and politician who held [[Cabinet of Fiji|Cabinet]] office in the 1960s and 1970s. Vijay Singh served in [[Prime Minister of Fiji|Prime Minister]] [[Kamisese Mara|Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara's]] government in a variety of positions, including [[Attorney General of Fiji|Attorney-General]], and was president of the [[Indian Alliance]], a division of the ruling [[Alliance Party (Fiji)|Alliance Party]]. He quit the party in 1979 following disagreement with Alliance leadership and later joined the opposition [[National Federation Party]]. Vijay Singh was involved in the restructure of the Fiji sugar industry and was a leading member of the [[Jaycees]] movement in Fiji.

== Early life ==

Vijay Singh was born in [[Yalalevu]], [[Ba District, Fiji|Ba]], [[Fiji]] and was the eldest of 14 children. He came from a prominent [[Arya Samaj in Fiji|Arya Samaj]] family in [[Ba (town)|Ba]]. He attended the local Arya Samaj school for primary education and obtained his secondary education at Marist Brothers High School in [[Suva]]. With no tertiary education available in Fiji, and not able to afford to travel overseas for further education, he took up employment in his uncle, Hari Shankars', accountancy and import business. Seeing his determination to pursue further studies, his uncle offered to finance him to study law. He began legal studies at [[Lincoln's Inn]] in [[London]] in 1951. He graduated with a [[LLB|Law]] degree from the [[University of London]]<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Sir Vijay Singh dies |url=http://pub30.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2554844873&frmid=1642&msgid=983976&cmd=show |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151001031122/http://pub30.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2554844873&frmid=1642&msgid=983976&cmd=show |archive-date=2015-10-01 |access-date=29 September 2015 |website=Kulacoco New Fiji Goodchat}}</ref> in 1953 after only two years, the shortest period of study permissible to sit the final examination. He became a [[barrister]] of the High Courts of [[England]], Australia, and Fiji.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Singh |first1=Sir Vijay R. |title=A DIMINISHED JUDICIARY |url=http://www.vanuatu.usp.ac.fj/journal_splaw/Special_Interest/Fiji_2000/Fiji_Singh1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151001112454/http://www.vanuatu.usp.ac.fj/journal_splaw/Special_Interest/Fiji_2000/Fiji_Singh1.html |archive-date=2015-10-01 |access-date=29 September 2015 |website=Journal of South Pacific Law - Fiji Islands Crisis}}</ref> In February 1954, he returned to Fiji and began to practise in [[Labasa]]. He also had offices in [[Nadi]] and Suva. In 1956 he married Maya, with whom he had a son, Vinay, and a daughter, Madhu.<ref name=":0" />

== Contribution to the sugar industry ==

While in Labasa, Vijay Singh became involved in cane farmers unions and was the president of the [[Labasa Kisan Sangh]]. He was also a key player in the formation of the [[Federation of Cane Growers]] (an umbrella organisation of various sugar cane unions to negotiate with the CSR) and the subsequent negotiations that took place with the [[Colonial Sugar Refining Company (Fiji)|Colonial Sugar Refining Company]] regarding the 1960 sugar cane contract. He, together with [[Ayodhya Prasad]], of the [[Viti Levu]]-based [[Kisan Sangh]], signed the 1960 cane contract in defiance of the majority of the Federation of Cane Growers. He later became the President of a united Kisan Sangh and held this office until the mid-1990s. He was an active leader of the joint committee of all sugar cane growers associations, established to restructure the sugar industry and when the [[Sugar Cane Growers Council]] was established in 1985, he was selected as its first Chief Executive. He also became a director of the [[Fiji Sugar Marketing Company]], thus providing sugar cane farmers a direct say in how Fiji's sugar was marketed.

== Political legacy ==

In 1965, together with [[Kamisese Mara|Ratu Kamisese Mara]], and other organizations opposed to the Federation Party, he was involved in the formation of Fiji's first multi-racial political party, the Alliance Party. He joined the Alliance Party independently of Ayodhya Prasad's [[National Congress of Fiji]] and worked himself to a position of influence within the Party by taking up the posts of [[Treasurer]] and Publicity Manager. When the Congress was wound up in 1967, its members joined the Indian division of the Alliance Party, the Indian Alliance, with Vijay R. Singh as [[President (corporate title)|President]]. In the [[1966 Fijian general election|1966 election]], he was elected to the Legislative Council from the East-Central cross-voting seat which covered [[Vanua Levu]] and [[Lau Province|Lau]]. The Federation Party had no hope of winning the seat and to confuse voters selected another Vijay Singh. From then on he started to use the name, Vijay R. Singh (Vijay Raghubar Singh - using his father's first name as his middle name.) The ploy by the Federation Party backfired, as Vijay R. Singh's opponent was a clerk and he asked the electorate, ''"Which Vijay Singh do you wish to vote for - the clerk or the lawyer?"''

Following the Alliance Party's win in the election, he was appointed the [[Executive Council of Fiji|Member for Social Services]], a portfolio that had been held by [[A. D. Patel]] prior to the election.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lal|first1=Brij V|title=Fiji|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z2R3Nk3jUlsC&q=%22Fiji%22+%2B+%22Executive+Council%22+%2B+%221967%22+%2B+%22Alliance%22+%2B+%22Falvey%22&pg=PR64|via=Google Books|date=22 September 2006|publisher=University of London: Institute of Commonwealth Studies|isbn=9780112905899|access-date=30 September 2015}}</ref> This was not a ministerial post in the modern sense, as Singh and his fellow [[Membership system|"members"]] comprised a minority of the Executive Council and were technically only advisers to the [[Governor of Fiji|governor]], who retained all power. However, the portfolio, which encompassed Health, Education, Housing and Social Welfare, was upgraded to a [[Cabinet of Fiji|ministerial]] position when [[responsible government]] was introduced in September 1967. It was during his term as Minister that the [[University of the South Pacific]] was established. He also introduced a program to extend secondary education to rural areas by the establishment of Junior Secondary Schools. He was later appointed the minister of commerce, industry and cooperatives and was instrumental in the establishment of a flour mill, steel rolling mill and a second brewery in Fiji. He played an active part in multi-party talks held in London, culminating in the new constitution and Fiji's independence in 1970.

== Alienation from the Alliance Party ==

In the [[1972 Fijian general election|1972 election]], it was clear that Vijay R. Singh was losing favour with the leadership of the Alliance Party, when he was not nominated for his existing safe seat and instead was given another (less safe) seat in a constituency where he did not have any political following. He won the election and was made Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Social Welfare. Not happy with this "demotion" he soon resigned as a Minister and resumed private practice. He was then elected [[Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of Fiji]] of the [[House of Representatives of Fiji|House of Representatives]]. In mid-1975, when the Minister of Education announced that the Government would not subsidize school fees for non-Fijians, Vijay Singh was among its most vocal critics, describing the decision as "deplorable because of its distressingly repellent odour of crude racialism." In 1976, he was elected the Speaker and resigned from the presidency of the Indian Alliance.

In June 1976, he became the first Indo-Fijian to be knighted by the Queen for his services as a citizen, as a member of parliament, Minister and Speaker. In the [[March 1977 Fijian general election|1977 election]], he lost the pre-selection for Alliance Party's nomination for his National seat to the prominent [[K.R. Latchan]]. He then began speaking out publicly on issues affecting the Indian community but accepted nomination for an Indian Communal seat that he could not win.

The Alliance Party still needed him as they needed a qualified lawyer to be the Attorney General. He was appointed to the [[Senate of Fiji|Senate]] and given the portfolio of [[Attorney General]] and Minister for Economic Development. Differences between him and the Alliance leadership widened and he resigned from both the party and the Senate in 1979.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mara|first1=Ratu Sir Kamisese|title=The Pacific Way: A Memoir|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A6x-ZOGJYb4C&q=%22Vijay+Singh%22&pg=PA144-IA6|via=Google BOoks|date=January 1997|isbn=9780824818937|access-date=29 September 2015}}</ref> In 1982, he joined the National Federation Party (NFP),<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lal|first1=Brij V.|title=Islands of Turmoil: Elections and Politics in Fiji|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3j500RPr4rEC&q=%22Sir+Vijay+Singh%22&pg=PA36|via=Google Books|date=August 2006|isbn=9781920942755|access-date=29 September 2015}}</ref> whose leader's moderate style appealed to him, and soon became a key adviser to its leader, [[Jai Ram Reddy]]. He won the [[1982 Fijian general election|1982 election]] on the NFP ticket in a national constituency in his home town of [[Ba (town)|Ba]] but his attempts to use foreign media to influence the election backfired and the NFP lost the election.

== Later years ==

In 1985 he resigned his seat in the House of Representatives and began work as chief executive of the Sugar Cane Growers Council but this career was cut short by the [[1987 Fijian coups d'état|Fiji coups of 1987]]. In order to bring pressure on the regime in Fiji to restore democracy, he lobbied at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Vancouver in October 1987 to have Fiji expelled from the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]]. He succeeded but was barred from returning to Fiji, having been declared persona non-grata. He then settled in Australia. After the restoration of democracy in Fiji he returned and resumed his law practice in Suva in 1991.

Singh's last public contribution was his book, ''Speaking Out'', published in 2006, in which he recited his version of the events surrounding the coups in Fiji. The book offended [[Saula Telawa]] (the leader of the fringe [[New Nationalist Party (Fiji)|New Nationalist Party]]), who [https://web.archive.org/web/20061013095258/http://www.pmw.c2o.org/2006/fiji4983.html called for the book to be banned in Fiji]. Singh's strident criticism of some ministers of the [[Methodist Church of Fiji and Rotuma|Methodist]] and other churches for supporting the coups was insensitive to Christian beliefs and to the predominantly Christian [[Fijians|indigenous Fijians]], claimed Telawa, whose party calls for indigenous supremacy and for Christianity to be established as the state religion.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Singh's memoir also made controversial claims that [[Sitiveni Rabuka]], the architect of the 1987 coups, had personally told him that he was the main instigator behind the scenes of the [[2000 Fijian coup d'état|2000 coup]] also, and that his main target was not the government of [[Mahendra Chaudhry]], but the aging Ratu Mara, who was now [[President of Fiji|president]]. Pleading ''[[sub judice]]'', Rabuka refused to comment. In an audio interview broadcast on [[Fiji Live]] on 17 August, barely six weeks before his death, Singh claimed that an emotional Ratu Mara, who had abruptly resigned the Presidency in the midst of the coup crisis, had told him of his own suspicions about Rabuka. Although unsubstantiated, Singh's claims were not new: Mara's own last recorded interview had expressed strong suspicions about Rabuka's possible involvement in the 2000 coup. Singh's claimed conversation with Rabuka was, however, the first known purported confession from Rabuka.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Sir Vijay R. Singh died on 25 September 2006 in Brisbane, Australia, after a long battle with [[cancer]].{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

[[Monsignor]] '''Sebastiao Francisco Xavier dos Remedios''' "'''Chico'''" '''Monteiro''' (1 February 1918 – 29 October 1990) was a Portuguese [[Catholic priest]]. Following the [[annexation of Goa]], India issued an [[edict]] requiring [[Goan]]s to pledge allegiance to the country and acquire an [[Indian passport]] – or, in the alternative, leave Goa and emigrate to Portugal. Monteiro made global waves when he refused to leave his homeland or surrender his [[Portuguese passport]], resulting in his arrest and detention. In his defense at trial, he echoed what he believed to be the essence of the safeguards in the [[Geneva Convention]]: "I was born in [[Goa]] and lived all my life peacefully in Goa".

Monteiro was represented in court by [[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]]'s personal counsel, [[Edward Gardner (British politician)|Edward Gardner]]. After a legal marathon spanning 5 years, Monteiro was finally convicted for his defiance of Indian rule and sentenced by the [[Supreme Court of India]]. He spent a year in solitary confinement in the maximum security jail in [[Patiala]], [[Punjab]], before the [[Holy See]] in Rome intervened and obtained his release. In a quid pro quo, Monteiro was exchanged for [[Telo Mascarenhas]], a political activist who had supported the Indian government against the Portuguese in Goa and who had been deported to Portugal in 1959 and jailed there in the [[Peniche Fortress]] penitentiary.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.travel-in-portugal.com/attractions/peniche-fortress.htm|title=Peniche Fortress|work=Portugal Travel Guide|language=en}}</ref>

==Early life==
The youngest of five siblings, Monteiro was born in [[Candolim]], [[Portuguese Goa]], on 1 February 1918, and baptized as Sebastiao Francisco Xavier dos Remedios Monteiro. His parents, Jose and Maria-Helena Monteiro, came from a lineage of devout [[Goan Catholic]]s who were originally Gaud-Saraswat Brahmins of the [[Pai (surname)|Pai]] clan whose ancestors were among the first converts in [[Candolim]] and [[Bardez]] in 1596. In 1802, the Monteiro family was honoured by the Portuguese King, Dom Joao VI with a "brazao" (coat of arms) for their dedication to the Church and the local community.

On 3 October 1942 Monteiro was ordained a priest, and in 1957 was conferred the title of [[Monsignor]] by [[Pope Pius XII]].{{cn|date=February 2025}}

==Trial and solitary confinement==
Goa was a Portuguese colony for about 450 years until it was seized on 19 December 1961 by the Indian Armed Forces in a brief military action. In 1962, the President of India legislated an Ordinance whereby, Goans had the option of either becoming Indian citizens, retain Portuguese nationality by registering themselves as foreigners, or in the alternative, emigrate to Portugal.

Monteiro initially opted to register himself as a foreigner and obtained a temporary residential permit which allowed him to reside in India until 13 November 1964. However, when his residential permit expired on 13 November 1964, he refrained from renewing it. This automated a deportation order issued by the Lt. Governor of Goa to exit the country. Monteiro defied the order on the grounds that he was protected by the Geneva Conventions Act which was first adopted in 1864 and ratified in 1949. This defiance led to legal proceedings against Monteiro towards deportation.

The trial gained notoriety and it was the Indian Government this time which suddenly found itself coming under judicial scrutiny and going on the defensive. The trial also aroused the interest of [[António de Oliveira Salazar]], then President of Portugal.

Portugal appointed Queen Elizabeth's personal counsel, [[Edward Gardner (British politician)|Edward Gardner]], to represent Monteiro.
While the case wended its way through the trial and appellate courts, Monteiro remained in judicial custody in Goa. Finally, on 26 March 1969 the Supreme Court of India upheld the deportation order issued by the trial court and Monteiro was sentenced to solitary confinement in a maximum security jail in Patiala, Punjab.

Monteiro spent a year in solitary confinement before the Holy See intervened for his release. In a quid pro quo, Monteiro was exchanged for [[Telo Mascarenhas]], a political activist who had supported the Indian government against the Portuguese in Goa, who was then arrested in 1959, deported to Portugal and incarcerated in the Peniche penitentiary.

After his return to Goa, Monteiro was placed under house arrest, was barred from holding any official position and his movements were harshly restricted and under constant judicial review. The restriction was subsequently eased and Monteiro was permitted to travel freely within the territory of Goa.

==Death==
Monteiro died on 29 October 1990 in [[Goa]], India.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2013-11-23 |title=The case of Fr Chico Monteiro |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/the-case-of-fr-chico-monteiro/articleshow/26224898.cms |access-date=2025-02-27 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=REMEMBERING FR.

== Plot ==
Vikramaditya is a wealthy entrepreneur. A [[paragliding]] accident in Paris leaves him a [[Tetraplegia|quadriplegic]]. For the sake of his girlfriend Nandini's happiness, Vikramaditya breaks off contact with her, hoping that she'll find and marry someone else.

Five years later, Vikramaditya leads a spiritless life with his secretary Keerthi, his cook Lakshmi, and a few house attendants. He and Keerthi interview candidates for a caretaker position- someone to help with everyday tasks like eating, getting clothed, and moving around. Many applicants seem obsequious and ingratiating. Seenu, a paroled convict, applies for the job in accordance with his lawyer's (Lingam) advice; the job would prove to the court that Seenu is leading a law-abiding life, closing his case. His mother, a railway clerk, disowns Seenu as she thinks that he is a bad influence on his siblings. He is detested by his mother and his siblings.

Vikramaditya, finding Seenu refreshingly honest and informal, hires him. He defends his decision to Prasad, his longtime friend and legal advisor, saying that Seenu is the right person for the time being since he is the only one who doesn't pity him. Though initially reluctant, Seenu learns to assists Vikramaditya with all his needs. He is attracted to Keerthi, but she often criticizes him for his irreverence.

Seenu learns that Vikramaditya has a purely [[wikt:Special:Search/epistolary|epistolary]] relationship with a woman called Priya. Seenu encourages him to meet her, but Vikramaditya opposes it, fearing her reaction when she discovers his disability.

Seenu's younger sister, Swathi, seeks approval from her boyfriend's family for marriage, but they think Swathi's family too poor and irrespectable. While Seenu seeks to intervene on her behalf, Swathi scorns Seenu for landing in trouble and making their family disrespectable. Vikramaditya learns about Swathi's situation, and convinces Kaalidasu / Kaalidasan (through Prasad) to go through with the marriage. The marriage is arranged, and Seenu earns Swathi's respect. Coming to know about this, Seenu tearfully thanks Vikram.

After celebrating his birthday, Vikramaditya becomes ill during the night, having trouble breathing, and is saved by his doctors. Seenu learns about Vikramaditya's adventurous past from Prasad, and suggests a vacation in Paris. Vikramaditya agrees and he, Seenu, and Keerthi leave for Paris. Seenu keeps Vikramaditya happy and boosts his morale, which impresses Keerthi. He makes a bet that he will ask Keerthi out if Vikramaditya impresses Jenny, a French dancer, on a date. Despite his disability, Vikramaditya charms Jenny with his wit and charm. Seenu is then forced to ask out Keerthi, who later accepts.

Seenu secretly arranges for Vikramaditya to meet Nandini, telling her about Vikramaditya's accident and its aftermath. Nandini is glad to see him and brings her husband Abhinav, and their daughter Aadhya to show him that she is happy.

Later, Seenu takes Vikramaditya on a motorcycle ride, and for one of the first times since the accident, Vikramaditya feels free, like the man he used to be.

Seenu's younger brother, Kanna, gets in trouble with a gang, and meets Seenu at Vikramaditya's mansion. Vikramaditya, recognising Seenu's need to support his family by being present, releases him from his obligations and suggests that he may not want to push a wheelchair all his life. Seenu becomes a cab driver and leads a responsible life, this time with his family's love and acceptance, but Vikramaditya becomes unhappy and becomes a recluse.

A worried Prasad contacts Seenu, who arrives and drives Vikramaditya off in a car to [[Visakhapatnam]] ([[Puducherry (city)|Pondicherry]] in Tamil version). They dress elegantly and visit a restaurant with a beautiful ocean view. Seenu leaves moments before Priya arrives. Vikramaditya looks outside through the window and sees Seenu, who smiles at him and walks away.

==Plot==
[[Professor]] Parimal Tripathi, who teaches [[botany]], falls in love with Sulekha Chaturvedi during the botany [[excursion]] of a [[women's college]] uphill. He helps the old [[Property caretaker|caretaker]] of the [[guesthouse]] to travel to his village downhill in order to enable him to visit his grandson, who has fallen ill. Meanwhile, Parimal disguises himself as the guesthouse caretaker to protect the old man's job, but Sulekha happens to find out about the cover-up one day. She is charmed by seeing Parimal's real personality, and the two get married. Parimal loves playing pranks and is the [[antithesis]] of regular professors, while Sulekha is in awe of Raghavendra Sharma, the so-called "highly-[[intellectual]]" husband of her older sister, Sumitra, and looks upon him as her idol. Thanks to Sulekha's excessive praise of Raghavendra, Parimal decides to prove that he is in no way a lesser mortal. An opportunity comes when Raghavendra writes a [[Letter (message)|letter]] to Sulekha and Sumitra's older brother, Haripad, instructing him to send a [[Chauffeur|driver]] for him who can speak pure [[Hindi]] language because his present driver, James D'Costa, uses improper dialect and mixes English words in Hindi. This provides the perfect opportunity for Parimal to get to see and interact with Raghavendra. Parimal disguises himself as "Pyare Mohan Ilahabadi", a motor-mouth driver, who pretends to criticize the [[English language]] and so speaks only pure and unmixed Hindi. Thus begins the comedy of errors as Parimal and Sulekha play prank after prank on the unsuspecting Raghavendra and Sumitra.

Firstly, the couple pretends that Sulekha is not happy with her new marriage with Parimal, and secondly, they put across the impression that Sulekha is having an [[Affair|extramarital affair]] with Pyare Mohan, and if that was not enough, they make Parimal's best friend, Sukumar Sinha, a professor of [[English literature]], to temporarily act as Parimal and portray him as a serious and boring [[lecturer]], the complete opposite of the real Parimal's character. Parimal's other long-time friend, Prashant Kumar Shrivastava, is also party to the prank. Vasudha, the younger sister of Prashant's wife, Lata, suspects fake "Parimal" (Sukumar) of infidelity to his wife, "Sulekha", when he tries to grow close to her. Sukumar falls in love with Vasudha, who initially believes him to be Parimal, but Sukumar reveals to her the real drama behind all this mix-up of situations, while Lata is also furious over the latest "extramarital" affair. However, towards the end, Sukumar and Vasudha escape from home and get married in a [[temple]] with the blessings of Prashant, where Haripad coerces Pyare Mohan to "kill" himself so that Parimal could surface. Thus, Raghavendra, Sumitra, and Lata come to comprehend the whole enactment, with Raghavendra finally admitting that he was truly fooled. The film revolves around the resolution of these funny mishaps.

'''''Oru Kal Oru Kannadi''''' ({{translation|A Stone, A Mirror}}; abbreviated as '''''OKOK''''') is a 2012 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic comedy]] film written and directed by [[M. Rajesh]] and produced by [[Udhayanidhi Stalin]] under [[Red Giant Movies]]. The film stars Udhayanidhi, [[Hansika Motwani]] and [[Santhanam (actor)|Santhanam]], with [[Saranya Ponvannan]], [[Sayaji Shinde]] and [[Azhagam Perumal]] in supporting roles. The story revolves around Saravanan, who travels from [[Chennai]] to [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] with his friend Parthasarathy, to stop the wedding of his ex-girlfriend Meera. During the trip, he recollects his past with Meera and the events before their break-up.

''Oru Kal Oru Kannadi'' is the acting debut of Udhayanidhi, and was named after a song from Rajesh's directorial debut ''[[Siva Manasula Sakthi]]'' (2009). [[Principal photography]] commenced in March 2011 and was nearly complete by February 2012. The film was predominantly shot in Chennai, [[Madurai]] and [[Mumbai]], with song sequences in [[Jordan]] and [[Dubai]]. The [[Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (soundtrack)|film's music]] was composed by [[Harris Jayaraj]] with cinematography by [[Balasubramaniem]] and editing by [[Vivek Harshan]].

''Oru Kal Oru Kannadi'' was released on 13 April 2012 and was deemed a major commercial success. Santhanam received numerous accolades for his performance, including an [[Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards|Ananda Vikatan Cinema Award]], [[The Times of India|Chennai Times Film Award]] and a [[Vijay Awards|Vijay Award]] for [[Vijay Award for Best Comedian|Best Comedian]]. The film itself received three nominations at the [[Filmfare Awards South]], winning [[Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut – South|Best Male Debut – South]] (Udhayanidhi) and four nominations at the [[South Indian International Movie Awards]], winning [[SIIMA Award for Best Actress – Tamil|Best Actress – Tamil]] (Motwani). The film emerged a breakthrough for Udhayanidhi, who continued to act in leading roles in several Tamil films until his eventual retirement from acting in 2023.

== Plot ==
One morning in [[Chennai]], V. Saravanan receives a wedding invitation from his ex-girlfriend, M. Meera, along with a note asking him not to attend. Undeterred, he and his friend Parthasarathy "Partha" drive to [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] to stop the wedding. Along the way, Saravanan recalls their past.

Saravanan, a carefree young man working at a film theatre with Partha, comes from a dysfunctional family. His father Varadharajan, a college professor, stopped speaking to his wife Shenbagam the day after their wedding upon learning she was uneducated. Shenbagam now studies to earn a degree and win back his affection.

Saravanan falls in love with Meera, a trainee air hostess, after spotting her in traffic and begins pursuing her despite warnings from her father, [[Deputy commissioner#India|DCP]] D. Mahendrakumar [[Indian Police Service|IPS]]. Meera challenges Saravanan to change himself—shave, dress well, drop Partha, and be punctual—if he wants her love. Saravanan then prioritises Meera over Partha, straining their friendship.

Eventually, Saravanan reunites Partha with his lost love, and the two follow Meera to [[Mumbai]], where Meera admits she loves Saravanan. Meanwhile, Varadharajan reconciles with Shenbagam after Saravanan confronts him.

Later, a misunderstanding causes Meera to believe Saravanan never truly loved her when he jokingly calls their relationship a "project" during a phone call she overhears. Heartbroken, she ends her relationship with him.

In the present, Saravanan and Partha arrive at the wedding, drunkenly sharing their story. Meera sympathises, but Mahendrakumar refuses to let her reunite with Saravanan due to the wedding costs and because she consented to the wedding. Just as Saravanan and Partha are about to leave, a local bigwig Rajini Murugan arrives with his girlfriend and a pregnant girl, revealing that Meera's groom Ashwin had abandoned the pregnant girl. Ashwin initially denies knowing her, but confesses after being cornered. He reunites with her, while Murugan promises to cover the wedding losses. As Saravanan leaves, Meera returns and reunites with him.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
After being impressed by director [[M. Rajesh]]'s debut film, ''[[Siva Manasula Sakthi]]'' (2009), producer [[Udhayanidhi Stalin]] of [[Red Giant Movies]] wanted to act in the director's next film but was informed that he was already directing ''[[Boss Engira Bhaskaran]]'' (2010). Udhayanidhi ended up buying that film's distribution rights. After he met Rajesh, both decided to collaborate on a new project. Rajesh suggested the title ''Sumarana Paiyyanum Super Figurum'' ({{Translation|An ordinary boy, a hot girl}}), which Udhayanidhi rejected.<ref>{{Cite web |last=வேணுஜி |date=9 April 2012 |title=அதிர்ஷ்டம் மட்டுமே வெற்றியைத் தராது! உதயநிதி ஸ்டாலின் |trans-title=Luck alone does not bring success!

Naga (Gowrishankar SRG) is a tough guy. He often gets into trouble and lands in jail for smuggling wood. Kerebete starts with him being released from jail.

The scene shifts to Naga participating in Kerebete, a fishing sport, near his village. It is under these circumstances that both Naga and his mother (Harini Shreekanth) are denied their due share in their father's ancestral property citing the reason that his mother is an orphan from a lower caste.

Meanwhile, Naga is in love with Meena (Bindu Shivaram). While he works hard ( read smuggling wood) to buy a piece of land to live happily ever after with his mother and his future wife, Meena's parents become aware of the romance between the two. The girl's father insults Naga badly and calls his mother names.

Soon, Meena goes missing. She returns eight months later as a pregnant woman and there is no sign of Naga.

The '''Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages''' (sometimes abbreviated as the JKAACL<ref>{{Cite web |title=Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, Government Of Jammu and Kashmir |url=http://jkaacl.jk.gov.in/Main/Message.aspx?Type=HeadMessage |access-date=2023-07-02 |website=jkaacl.jk.gov.in |archive-date=2 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702132546/http://jkaacl.jk.gov.in/Main/Message.aspx?Type=HeadMessage |url-status=dead }}</ref>) is a society registered with the [[government of Jammu and Kashmir]] as a cultural organization for the promotion of regional languages, arts, and [[Culture of Kashmir|culture]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/jk-academy-of-art-culture-languages-to-be-registered-as-a-society/ | title=J&K Academy of Art, Culture & Languages to be registered as a Society | date=11 March 2021 }}</ref>

The academy was founded in 1958 by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir by a conditional provision of Section 146 of the [[Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir]]. It was considered an autonomous corporate body until 2019, when Jammu and Kashmir state was reorganised as the [[union territory]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and the union territory of [[Ladakh]].<ref>SRO NO-340 of 1963, Appendix I</ref>

In 2021, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir converted the academy to a "society," registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The decision was intended to give maximum freedom to the institution to work as an independent institution after 2019. Under new government orders, the academy is currently governed through various bodies: the general council, the central committee, and the finance committee.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=https://art.uok.edu.in/Files/c5e30c7a-c8f1-4b92-86c6-6f5b191d6fd1/Menu/Rules_1bfad7b9-12a5-4c0b-aec6-facc60a1c2f6.pdf |title=JKAACL |access-date=9 July 2022 |archive-date=23 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123160558/http://art.uok.edu.in/Files/c5e30c7a-c8f1-4b92-86c6-6f5b191d6fd1/Menu/Rules_1bfad7b9-12a5-4c0b-aec6-facc60a1c2f6.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:An exemple of a found footage film from " Taped Up Families (Horror, Found Footage, 2024) ".png|alt=Taped Up Families (Horror, Found Footage, 2024)|thumb|An example of a found footage film frame]]
{{Horrorfilmlist}}
'''Found footage''' is a [[cinematic technique]] and [[film genre]] in which all or a substantial part of the work is presented as if it were [[film]] or [[Videocassette recorder|video recordings]] recorded by characters in the story, and later "found" and presented to the audience. The events on screen are typically seen through the camera of one or more of the characters involved, often accompanied by their [[real time (media)|real-time]] [[voice-over|off-camera commentary]]. For added [[realism (arts)|realism]], the [[cinematography]] may be done by the actors themselves as they perform, and [[shaky camera]] work, [[Improvisational theatre|improvisation]] and [[naturalism (theatre)|naturalistic]] acting are routinely employed. The footage may be presented as if it were "[[footage|raw]]" and complete or as if it had been [[film editing|edited]] into a [[narrative structure|narrative]] by those who "found" it.

The most common use of the technique is in [[horror film]]s such as ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'', ''[[The Last Broadcast (film)|The Last Broadcast]]'', ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'', ''[[Paranormal Activity]]'', ''[[Diary of the Dead]]'', ''[[Rec (film)|Rec]]'', ''[[Cloverfield]]'', ''[[Trollhunter]]'', ''[[V/H/S]],'' ''[[Incantation (film)|Incantation]]'', ''[[Be My Cat: A Film for Anne]]'', ''[[As Above, So Below (film)|As Above, So Below]]'', ''[[Lake Mungo (film)|Lake Mungo]]'' or ''[[Late Night with the Devil]]'', in which the footage is purported to be the only surviving record of the events, with the participants now missing or dead. It has also been used in [[science-fiction film|science fiction]] such as ''[[Chronicle (film)|Chronicle]]'', ''[[Project Almanac]]'' or ''[[Europa Report]]'', [[drama film|drama]] such as ''[[Zero Day (2003 film)|Zero Day]]'' and ''[[Exhibit A (film)|Exhibit A]]'', [[Comedy film|comedy]] such as ''[[Project X (2012 film)|Project X]]'', [[Crime|crime mockumentary]] such as ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', [[family film|family]] such as ''[[Earth to Echo]]'', [[Experimental film|experimental]] [[arthouse]] such as ''[[The Connection (1961 film)|The Connection]]'', ''[[The Outwaters]]'' or ''[[Masking Threshold (film)|Masking Threshold]]'' and [[War film|war]] films such as ''[[84C MoPic]]''.

Some [[pseudo-documentary]] films such as [[Lake Mungo (film)|''Lake Mungo'']] or ''[[Noroi: The Curse]]'', most [[screenlife]] films such as ''[[Unfriended]]'', its sequel ''[[Unfriended: Dark Web|Dark Web]]'', ''[[Profile (2018 film)|Profile]]'' or [[Searching (film)|''Searching'']], a few [[Point-of-view shot|POV films]] such as ''[[Hardcore Henry]]'' or ''[[Presence_(2024_film)|Presence]],'' most [[Live streaming|livestream]] and "[[Live television|live TV]]" films such as ''[[Ghostwatch]]'', as well as films where the footage is presented as originating from [[Surveillance footage|surveillance]] or [[Dashcam|dashboard cameras]] such as [[Taxi (2015 film)|''Taxi'']] or [[Spree (film)|''Spree'']], are also often considered to fall under the found footage umbrella, despite the fact that technically the footage is not presented as "lost and found", but only as long as the camera is implied to be a part of the film and not a [[fourth wall]] the way it is in traditional films.<ref>{{Cite web |title=100 Best Found Footage Movies |url=https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-found-footage-movies/ |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=editorial.rottentomatoes.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2013-09-23 |title=Found Footage Manifesto |url=https://adriantofei.com/the-found-footage-manifesto/ |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Adrian Țofei • Official Site |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
As a storytelling technique, found footage has precedents in literature, particularly in the trope of [[found manuscript]],'''<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal |last=Sawczuk |first=Tomasz |date=2020 |title=Taking Horror as You Find It: From Found Manuscripts to Found Footage Aesthetics |url=https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=916938 |journal=Text Matters: A Journal of Literature, Theory and Culture |language=English |issue=10 |pages=223–235 |issn=2083-2931}}</ref>''' as well as [[epistolary novel]], which typically consists of either [[letter (message)|correspondence]] or [[diary]] entries, purportedly written by a character central to the events. Like found footage, the epistolary technique has often been employed in [[horror fiction]]: both ''[[Dracula]]'' and ''[[Frankenstein]]'' are epistolary novels, as is ''[[The Call of Cthulhu]]'' by [[H. P. Lovecraft]].

[[File:Ruggero Deodato 2008.jpg|thumb|upright|Italian director [[Ruggero Deodato]] revolutionized the found footage style of narrative filmmaking with ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'' (1980), the first horror film using this technique.]]
In [[filmmaking]], the 1980 cult horror feature ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'' is often claimed to be the first example of found footage.<ref>{{cite web|title=Visual Trends: A History of the Found Footage Genre|date=26 June 2012|publisher=Videomaker|url=https://www.videomaker.com/videonews/2012/06/visual-trends-a-history-of-the-found-footage-genre|access-date=2019-08-28}}</ref> However, [[Shirley Clarke]]'s arthouse film ''[[The Connection (1961 film)|The Connection]]'' (1961) and the [[Orson Welles]] directed ''[[The Other Side of the Wind]]'', a found footage movie shot in the early 1970s but released in 2018, predate ''Cannibal Holocaust''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=McBride|first=Joseph|date=2017-03-17|title=Before the Beginning and After the End: An Insider's Look at the Saga of 'The Other Side of the Wind'|url=https://www.wellesnet.com/other-side-of-the-wind-joseph-mcbride/|access-date=2022-09-07|website=Wellesnet {{!}} Orson Welles Web Resource|language=en-US}}</ref> {{interlanguage link|Les Documents Interdits|fr}} (1989), segment titled “The Ferguson Case” has recently surfaced to be seen as one of the first examples to feature the found-footage style in a horror setting. Specifically its use of the footage being found in a scenario where the people who have shot it have gone missing from the circumstances at hand. This style predating films ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'' (1999) and ''[[The Last Broadcast (film)|The Last Broadcast]]'' (1998) who popularized the genre style by nearly a decade.<ref>[https://www.horrorhomeroom.com/watch-carefully-what-is-about-to-happen-les-documents-interdits-1989-1991-and-the-interrogation-of-frances-cultural-memory/. ‘WATCH CAREFULLY WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN’: LES DOCUMENTS INTERDITS (1989-1991) AND THE INTERROGATION OF FRANCE’S CULTURAL MEMORY]</ref>''America's Deadliest Home Video'' (1991), remains a potent use of the format as well as an unsung groundbreaker in the found-footage field - an ahead-of-its-time application of the vérité-video form to the horror/crime genre.<ref>[https://www.fangoria.com/original/dvd-review-americas-deadliest-home-video/ Editorial: DVD Review: America's Deadliest HomeVideo - Fangoria]</ref> The device was popularised by ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'' (1999).<ref name="Hitflixhist">{{cite web|last1=Eggertsen|first1=Chris|title=From 'Blair Witch' to 'Project Almanac': A history of the found footage genre|url=http://www.hitfix.com/news/from-cannibal-holocaust-to-project-almanac-a-history-of-the-found-footage-genre|website=[[HitFix]]|access-date=22 February 2016|archive-date=7 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161007030818/http://www.hitfix.com/news/from-cannibal-holocaust-to-project-almanac-a-history-of-the-found-footage-genre|url-status=dead}}</ref> Found footage has since been used in other commercially successful films, including ''[[Paranormal Activity]]'' (2007), ''[[Rec (film)|Rec]]'' (2007), ''[[Cloverfield]]'' (2008), ''[[Chronicle (film)|Chronicle]]'' (2012), ''[[Sinister (film)|Sinister]]'' (2012), [[Creep (2014 film)|''Creep'']] (2014) and ''[[Late Night with the Devil]]'' (2024).<ref>{{cite news|title=Editorial: An Apologist's Rant: In Defense of Found Footage|work=Dread Central|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/33208/editorial-an-apologist-s-rant-in-defense-of-found-footage/|access-date=2012-04-27}}</ref> Reviewing ''[[V/H/S]]'' for ''[[The A.V.

The genre appeals to some [[film producer]]s because of its lower cost, as it is believed the illusion of [[amateur film|amateur]] documentary style allows lower production values than would be accepted on a conventional film. Other filmmakers choose it for creative reasons.

Writer-director [[Christopher B. Landon]], who has made several found footage horror films, as well as filmmaker [[Adrian Țofei]] in his found footage manifesto, posit that the genre is likely to successfully extend outside horror in the future.<ref name="Christopher Landon interview">{{cite web|last1=Topel|first1=Fred|title=Christopher Landon interview|url=http://www.craveonline.com/culture/625449-exclusive-interview-christopher-landon-on-paranormal-activity-the-marked-ones|website=Crave|access-date=22 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923211131/http://www.craveonline.com/culture/625449-exclusive-interview-christopher-landon-on-paranormal-activity-the-marked-ones|archive-date=23 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=":1" />

== Analysis ==
Found-footage films typically employ one or more of six [[cinematic techniques]]—[[first-person perspective]], [[pseudo-documentary]], [[mockumentary]], [[news]] footage, [[surveillance footage]], or [[screenlife]]—according to an analysis of 500 found-footage films conducted by Found Footage Critic.<ref>{{cite web |title=Found Footage Film Genre – Found Footage Critic |url=http://foundfootagecritic.com/found-footage-film-genre/ |access-date=2016-01-14 |website=Found Footage Critic |publisher=Found Footage Critic [Michael Steinberg] |language=en-US}}</ref>

The film magazine ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' has used the term "faux found-footage" to describe the technique. [[film studies|Film scholar]] [[David Bordwell]] criticizes the usage, arguing that it sows confusion, and instead prefers the term "discovered footage" for the narrative [[gimmick]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Bordwell |first=David |author-link=David Bordwell |date=13 November 2012 |title=Return to Paranormalcy |url=http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2012/11/13/return-to-paranormalcy/ |access-date=24 May 2015 |work=davidbordwell.net}}</ref>

According to filmmaker [[Adrian Țofei]] in his found footage manifesto, a found footage film is technically a [[pseudo-documentary]] or fake documentary film, in which all or a substantial part of the picture is presented as being composed of recordings of real life events, seen through cameras that are part of the events. He defines found footage as a "filmmaking concept" with the goal of giving audiences the illusion that they're not watching a movie made by filmmakers and actors, but genuine life events recorded by people like them who were part of the events, which would allow audiences to be fully immersed in the movie experience.<ref name=":1" />

In a 2016 article for ''Cinema Journal'', Cecilia Sayad explores the relationship between the found footage genre and reality. She asserts that the genre's metaphorical framing, convincing audiences that films contain true unscripted footage, and its technical framing, mimicking amateur home videos and security footage, are key to what creates fear in the audience, dissolving the traditional boundaries between what is part of the film and real life.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Sayad |first=Cecilia |date=2016 |title=Found-Footage Horror and the Frame's Undoing |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44072414 |journal=Cinema Journal |volume=55 |issue=2 |pages=43–66 |issn=0009-7101}}</ref>

Sayad highlights how the found footage genre invites the audience to "to anxiously scan the image for threatening presences", blurring the boundary between what is on screen and what is real. For example, The ''[[Paranormal Activity (film series)|Paranormal Activity]]'' series' inclusion of the timestamps on each clip of footage "empowers the audience", encouraging watchers to analyze evidence in real time.<ref name=":0" /> Typical found footage techniques, like shaky handheld sequences and sudden zooms, create the illusion that the camera frame is unable to contain the evil of any film's antagonist to the screen. The selective choice to not center major action sequences on camera, like during the climax of ''[[Paranormal Activity]]'' (2007), also contributes to this effect. Sayad notes that "the sense of lurking danger is enhanced as much by our fear about seeing things as by our anxiety about what we do not see".<ref name=":0" />

Importantly, Sayad notes that there is an important distinction between found footage horror films and other "self-aware" horror films, like 1996's ''[[Scream (1996 film)|Scream]]''. She writes, <blockquote>''Scream''{{'}}s pastiche of classics packages the film as artifice, keeping the relationship between movies and reality safely locked in the realm of fiction. The found-footage movie, in contrast, presents itself as real, whereas its characteristically unstable camera work suggests that the film can neither lock things in nor keep them out.<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>

'''Saṅghamittā''' ('''{{IAST|Saṅghamitrā}}''' in [[Sanskrit]], nun's name '''{{IAST|Ayapali}}'''<ref name="Dalmiya" /> 282 BC – 203 BC<ref name="Dalmiya" />) was an Indian Buddhist nun and believed to be the eldest daughter (Sri Lankan Tradition) of Emperor [[Ashoka]] (304 BC – 232 BC) from his first wife [[Devi (Ashoka's wife)|Queen Devi]] (302 BCE – 242 BCE). Together with her brother [[Mahinda (buddhist monk)|Mahinda]], she entered an order of [[Buddhist monk]]s. The two siblings later went to [[Anuradhapura kingdom|Sri Lanka]] to spread the teachings of [[Buddha]] at the request of Sri Lankan King [[Devanampiya Tissa of Sri Lanka|Devanampiya Tissa]] (250 BC – 210 BC) who was a contemporary of Ashoka. Ashoka was initially reluctant to send his daughter (Sri Lankan Tradition) on an overseas mission. However, because of the insistence of Sangamitta herself, he finally agreed. She was sent to Sri Lanka together with several other nuns to start the nun-lineage of [[Bhikkhuni]]s (a fully ordained female [[Buddhist]] [[monastic]]) at the request of King Tissa to ordain queen Anulā and other women of Tissa's court at [[Anuradhapura]] who desired to be ordained as nuns after Mahinda converted them to [[Buddhism]].<ref name=Sangha>{{cite web|url=http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/sa/sanghamitta_theri.htm|title=Sanghamittā Therī|access-date=2010-04-28|publisher=What the Buddha said in plain English!|archive-date=4 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904163231/http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/sa/sanghamitta_theri.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Thailand>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thaibhikkhunis.org/eng/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51&Itemid=21 |title=A brief history of Sanghamitta |access-date=2010-05-02 |publisher=Bodhistav Foundation |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725205251/http://www.thaibhikkhunis.org/eng/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51&Itemid=21 |archive-date=25 July 2011 }}</ref><ref name=more>{{Cite web|url=http://dhammatimes.blogspot.com/2007/06/mahindagamanaya-was-more-than.html|title=Mahindagamanaya was more than a diplomatic mission|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=Daily Mirror|archive-date=6 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906165938/http://dhammatimes.blogspot.com/2007/06/mahindagamanaya-was-more-than.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Sangamitta>{{Cite web|url=http://www.usamyanmar.net/Buddha/Article/The%20Theri%20Arahant%20Sanghamitta.pdf|title=Theri Sanghamitta and The Bodhii—tree|pages=1–8|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=A Gift of Dhamma:Maung Paw|location=California|archive-date=24 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724120135/http://www.usamyanmar.net/Buddha/Article/The%20Theri%20Arahant%20Sanghamitta.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Harishchandra>{{Cite book|last=Harishchanndar|first=Walisinha|title= The sacred city of Anuradhapura|pages=29–36|access-date=2010-05-02|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aWv0A4abVyQC&q=Sanghamitta&pg=PA30|publisher= Asian Educational Services|year=1998|isbn=81-206-0216-1}}</ref>

After Sanghamittā’s contribution to the propagation of Buddhism in Sri Lanka and her establishing the ''Bhikkhunī Sangha'' or ''Meheini Sasna'' (Order of Nuns) there, her name became synonymous with "Buddhist Female Monastic Order of Theravāda Buddhism" that was established not only in Sri Lanka but also in [[History of burma|Burma]], [[Imperial China|China]] and [[History of Thailand|Thailand]], in particular. The day the most revered tree, the [[Bodhi tree]], a sapling of which was brought by her to Sri Lanka and planted in [[Anuradhapura]], and which still survives, is also celebrated every year on the [[Full Moon]] day of December as ''Uduvapa Poya'' or ''Uposatha Poya'' and Sanghamittā Day by Theravāda Buddhists in Sri Lanka.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=festival>{{Cite web|url=http://what-buddha-said.net/drops/III/Unduwap_Poya_Day.htm|title=How to be Real Buddhist through Observance?|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=What Buddha Said Net|archive-date=27 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100627091256/http://what-buddha-said.net/drops/III/Unduwap_Poya_Day.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Background==
[[File:116 Sanghamitta and the Bodhi Tree (20256206059).jpg|thumb|Sanghamitta bringing a sapling of the right branch of the [[Bodhi tree]] to Sri Lanka. [[Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara]]<ref>Deniyaye Pannaloka Buddarakkitha Thera (2020).

Sanghamitra is known for the [[Proselytism|proselytisation]] activity among women that she pursued as her lifetime goal in Sri Lanka, along with her brother, Mahendra (called [[Mahinda (buddhist monk)|Mahinda]] in Sri Lanka) at the initiation of her father, Emperor Ashoka of the [[Maurya dynasty]] who ruled in India in the 3rd century BC. Ashoka, after adopting Buddhism, took to spreading tenets of Buddhism in nine other countries of the region. His contemporary in Sri Lanka, King Devanampiya Tissa, in close alliance with Ashoka, saw the [[Anuradhapura Kingdom|arrival of Buddhism]] in Sri Lanka.<ref name=more/><ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=Harishchandra/>

However, before deputing missions abroad in the region around India, Ashoka, in consultation with Venerable [[Moggaliputta Tissa]] convened a meeting of the [[Third Buddhist Council]] in which 1,000 [[Arahants]] participated. The purpose of this council meeting was not only to purge the Sangha of undesirable elements but also to take a view on the proselytisation of Buddhism. Moggaliputta presided over the Council meeting where it was decided to send nine delegations to different regions to spread Buddhism.<ref name=Sangamitta/>

King Ashoka then sent out missionaries in nine different directions. The delegation that was sent south to Sri Lanka, at the request of Tissa, was led by Ashoka's son Mahendra. Before taking the long journey, Mahendra sought blessings of his mother. The delegation (considered a diplomatic mission) comprised six other Arhats, namely Ittiya, [[Uttiya]], Sambala, Bhaddasala, young [[Samanera]] (nephew of Mahendra) and a Bhanduka (also a cousin of Mahendra). All members of the mission belonged to the royal family, indicating the importance Ashoka attached to spreading Buddhism in Sri Lanka.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=more/><ref name=Sangamitta/>

This was also considered an opportune moment to spread Buddhism in Sri Lanka since Buddha himself had created awareness of his philosophy and precepts of Buddhism among the royalty and the common people during his three visits to Sri Lanka undertaken in the eight years following his enlightenment. Buddha, during his lifetime, had also created a social structure for the practice of [[Dhammavinaya]] or [[Dhamma]] (in [[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]]: [[Dharma]]), which comprised the Sangha – order of [[bhikkhus]] (monks) and [[bhikkuni]]s (nuns) to preserve his teachings for posterity.<ref name=Sangamitta/> However, it was only King Tissa, realising the poor status of the religion in his country, desired fresh efforts by a delegation from India.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/>

Mahendra arrived with his delegation at Anuradhapura where King Tissa, accompanied by his sister-in-law (brother's wife) Princess Anula with her entourage of 500 women, met him at the Mahamegha Garden. The Mahendra mission was very successful in introducing Buddhism to Sri Lanka. He established the Bhikkhu Order for men. However, thousands of women, starting with Anula, who had converted to Buddhism along with King Tissa, wished to be ordained into the Bhikkuni Order. Mahindra Thera expressed his inability to do so since this ordination had to be performed by a priestess or a Theri Arahat. He therefore advised the King to write to Emperor Ashoka and seek the services of his younger sister Theri Sangamitta, who was "profoundly learned", to be deputed to Sri Lanka for the purpose. He also desired that a sapling of the right branch of the [[Bodhi Tree]] (where the [[Tathagata]] got his enlightenment) from [[Bodh Gaya]] should also be brought by her to Sri Lanka. King Tissa then chose his Minister Prince [[Arittha]] (his nephew) for the purpose since the minister had volunteered to go to India on the condition that on his return he would also be ordained into the Bhikkhu Sasana by Thera Mahindra. This was agreed.<ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=Harishchandra/>

==Early life==
Sangamitta's parents were Emperor Ashoka and his first wife, Devi, who was a [[Buddhist]]. Her birth in 282 BC,<ref name="Dalmiya">{{cite web |url=http://www.streeshakti.com/bookS.aspx?author=4 |title=SANGHAMITRA (282–203 BCE) |last=Dalmiya |first=Rita |website=streeshakti.com |publisher=Streeshakti The Parallel Force |access-date=2021-03-23 }}</ref> as popularly known in published texts was as the second child of Ashoka and younger sister of brother [[Mahinda (buddhist monk)|Mahindra]]. She was born in [[Ujjain|Ujjeini]] (present day Ujjain in [[Madhya Pradesh]] in [[India]]). Her mother did not join Ashoka when he was crowned and her two children had embraced Buddhism. She was married at the age of 14 to [[Agribrahma]], a nephew of Emperor Ashoka, who was also an Arhant. She had a son, Saamanera Sumana who also later became an Arhant and went along with his uncle Mahindra to Sri Lanka to preach Buddhism. Her teacher was [[Ayupala]]. She was ordained at the age of 18 into the Theravada Buddhism Order by their preceptor [[Dhammapala]]. Her brother was also ordained at the same time. With her dedicated perseverance to Dhamma she became an Arhant Theri and resided in [[Pataliputra]] (now known as [[Patna]]).<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=early>{{Cite web|url=http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/sa/sanghamitta_theri.htm|title=Sangamitta Teri|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=What Buddha Said Net|archive-date=4 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904163231/http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/sa/sanghamitta_theri.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Malalasekera>{{Cite book|last=Malalasekera|first= G.P.|title= Dictionary of Pali Proper Names: Pali-English|page=990|access-date=2010-05-02|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=x8ObMQ1GGsUC&q=Sanghamitta&pg=PA990|publisher= Asian Educational Services|year=2003|isbn=81-206-1823-8}}</ref>

==Middle life==
Mahindra’s mission in Sri Lanka was very successful. Among his new converts was Princess Anula, King Tissa’s sister-in-law who became [[Sotapanna]] and requested ordination. King Tissa wrote to Emperor Ashoka to depute Sangamitta for the purpose. Mahindra also wrote to his father to depute his sister Sanghamitta to Sri Lanka as requested by King Tissa.<ref name=Sangamitta/>

Following this invitation from the King and also the request made by his son Mahindra, Ashoka sent Sanghamitta with a retinue of 10 other learned bhikkunis (priestesses) to accompany her and to give ordination to Sri Lanka's princess Anula and other women. Ashoka was initially distraught at the prospect of sending his daughter (Sri Lankan Tradition) away but Sangamitta herself persisted that she would like to go to Sri Lanka. She appealed to her father stating:{{quotation|"Great King! the injunction of my brother is imperative and the women who are to be ordained in Lanka are many; on that account, it is absolutely essential that I should go there.<ref name=Harishchandra/>}} The purpose was also to establish the Bhikkuni Order to spread Buddhism in that country with the devoted participation and assistance of women. Ashoka finally agreed to send her. She travelled to Sri Lanka by sea carrying a sapling of Bodhi-Tree in a golden vase. She landed at Jambukola in the North.<ref name=Malalasekera/> King Tissa himself received Sangamitta and the sapling of the Bodhi Tree with deep veneration. They were then ceremonially escorted by the king and his people to Anuradhapura. They entered at the northern gate of Anuradhapura along a road sprinkled with white sand.

In the Dipavamsa chronicle, the number of nuns who accompanied Sangamitta has been mentioned differently – three figures have been quoted but the figure of 11 including Sangamitta is inferred as the plausible number. The names of the young nuns who accompanied here on the ship were: Uttara, Hema, Pasadpala, Aggimitta, Dasika, Pheggu, Pabbata, Matta, Malla, and Dhammadasiya.<ref name=Law>{{Cite book|last=Law|first=B.C|title= On the Chronicles of Ceylon|access-date=2010-05-03|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K3Cg9f6PygkC&q=Sanghamitta&pg=PA7|publisher= Asian Educational Services|year=1994|isbn=81-206-0907-7}}</ref> In addition, the delegation headed by the Sri Lankan Ambassador Prince Athitha, which returned to Sri Lanka, comprised the Chief priestess Sangamitta and ten other priestesses, eight people of royal lineage of [[Magadha (Mahajanapada)|Magadha]] (Bogut, Sumitta, Sangot, Devgot, Damgot, Hirugot, Sisigot and Jutindhara), eight members of nobility (families of ministers), eight Brahmins, eight Vaishyas (traders), herdsmen, Hyaenna, Sparrow-hawk, Nagas, Yakkas, craftsmen, weavers, potters and many members of other castes.<ref name=Sarkar>{{Cite book|last=Sarkar|first= Jayanta|author2=G.

A legend mentioned related to the journey of Sangamitta to Sri Lanka is that [[Nāga|Nagas]] encircled the Bodhi tree. Sangamitta drove them away by assuming the form of [[Garuda]] (half-man half-bird form).<ref name=Malalasekera/> Sanghamitta was 32 years of age when she took this journey. Her son Samanera was already in Sri Lanka as he had joined his uncle Mahindra's mission to spread Buddhism.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/> Sangamitta performed the formal ''[[Pabbajja]]'' ordination of Princess Anula. Anula was the first Sri Lankan woman to be ordained as a bhikkuni; concurrently her companions numbering more than 1000 who were also observing ''Dasa Sil'' were bestowed with ''Pabbajja'' ordination. This formally created the "first ecclesiastical life of the Bhikkuni Sasana in Sri Lanka".<ref name=poya>{{Cite web|url=http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2008/12/full-moon-poya-day-of-unduvap-2552.html|title=Full Moon Poya Day of Unduvap|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=Sri Lanka Guardian|date=2008-12-12}}</ref> The ordination covered not only the royalty but also common people of various strata of the society. She pursued every effort to enhance the status of women, with sustained devotion, dedication and diligence.<ref name=poya/>

Sangamitta, on arrival at Anuradhapura, was put up initially at the Upasika Viharaya along with the bhikkunis who had accompanied her. An additional 12 buildings ([[ashramas]]) were built to accommodate the bhikkunis. Subsequently, the King also built a separate house for Sangamitta known as 'Hathalakha-Vihara' acceding to the request of the nuns to reside in a secluded place where they could exclusively concentrate on devotional religious pursuits.<ref name= Obeyesekere/>

Dipavamsa, a chronicle written in 400 BC, records that after the Bhikkuni Sangha was established, there was a widespread following in the country among women of all ages and from all levels of society. The women who ordained were highly learned in the scriptures and they readily taught their knowledge of the [[Vinaya]] or rules of discipline to others.<ref name=women>{{Cite web|url=http://www.buddhismtoday.com/english/sociology/029-WomeninIndia.htm |title=Buddhist Women in India and Pre-Colonial Sri Lanka |author=Lorna DeWaraja |access-date=2010-05-02 |publisher=Buddhism Today |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820023050/http://www.buddhismtoday.com/english/sociology/029-WomeninIndia.htm |archive-date=20 August 2008 }}</ref>

===Bodhi tree and celebrations===
[[File:Photograph of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi Anuradhapura Sri Lanka.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Revered Bodhi tree brought by Sangamitta and planted at [[Anuradhapura]], [[Sri Lanka]] -Oldest surviving [[Bodhi Tree]]]]
Sangamittā carried the right south branch of the Bodhi Tree (selected by Ashoka from the Maha Bodhi Tree in Gaya) on a ship to Anurādhapura, during the 12th year of Ashoka's reign. The sapling was planted by Devānāmpiya Tissa in the Mahāmeghavana in Anuradhapura. It seems that "the Buddha, on his death bed, had resolved five things, one being that the branch which should be taken to [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]] should detach itself". The journey route followed by Sangamitta who carried the tree branch was from Gayā to Pātaliputta and then to Tāmalittī in [[Bengal]]. Here, it was placed in a golden vase on the ship and transported to Jambukola across the sea. The entourage reached Anurādhapura, staying en route at Tivakka.<ref name=Bodhi>{{Cite web|url=http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/b/bodhirukka.htm|title=Bodhirukka|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=What Buddha Said Net|archive-date=1 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601061818/http://what-buddha-said.net/library/DPPN/b/bodhirukka.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Relics>{{Cite web|url=http://lakdiva.org/mahavamsa/chap017.html|title= Chapter XVII: The Arrival Of The Relics|access-date=2010-05-02|publisher=Lakdiva Org.}}</ref>

The planting of the Bodhi Tree was a grand ceremony performed by the king himself with assistance from the nobles of Kājaragāma, Candanagāma and Tivakka, in the presence of Sangamitta and her brother Mahindra. The tree took eight roots and yielded fruits and seeds. As fresh eight saplings emerged, they were moved and planted at Jambukola (present Colombogaon in north Sri Lanka), in the village of Tivakka, at Thūpārāmā, at Issaramanārāma, in the court of the Pathamacetiya, in Cetiyagiri, in Kājaragāma and Candanagāma.<ref name= Obeyesekere/><ref name=Bodhi/><ref name=Relics/>

The tree, as it stands, is on a raised mound. In 1907, it was {{convert|32|ft|m}} in height with {{convert|8.17|ft|m}} in girth. The tree and the shrine have been built around a compound wall measuring {{convert|61|ft|m}} x {{convert|57|ft|m}} and {{convert|21|ft|m}} in height, primarily to protect the tree and the shrine built around it. Ten more trees of the same species are also seen within precincts of the enclosure. A damaged Buddha statue made of bricks (attributed to its creation during Tissa's rule) is a marker to locate the main Bodhi Tree here.<ref name=Harishchandra/><ref name=Bodhi/><ref name=Relics/> 32 more saplings, from four other fruits, were also planted in the near vicinity.<ref name=Bodhi/><ref name=Relics/>

The Bodhi Tree at Anuradhapura was well tended by successive royal family members of Sri Lanka over the centuries, so much so that a village near Anurādhapura was also earmarked to provide for the maintenance of the tree.<ref name=Bodhi/><ref name=Relics/>

A comment by Historian [[H. G. Wells]] on this oldest historical tree in the world, which is well-maintained states:{{quotation|In Ceylon there grows to this day a tree, the oldest historical tree in the world, which we know certainly to have been planted as a cutting from the Bodhi-Tree in the year 245 BC.

==Later life==
Sangamitta died in 203 BC<ref name="Dalmiya" /> at the age of 79<ref>According to the ''Buddhist Dictionary of Pali Proper Names'', she died at the age of fifty nine [https://palikanon.com/english/pali_names/sa/sanghamitta_theri.htm Sanghamittā Therī.]. {{access-date|12 August 2025}}</ref> in the ninth year of the reign of King [[Uttiya]] at her residence in Hatthaloka Upasikaramaya Anuradhapura. Uttiya performed her last rites. The occasion was also marked with observances in her honour throughout Sri Lanka, for one week.<ref name=early/> She was cremated to the east of the Thūpārāma near the Cittasālā, in front of the Bodhi Tree. The location for the cremation had been selected by the Therī herself before her death. A stupa was erected by Uttiya over her ashes.<ref name=early/><ref name=poya/>

==Bhikkhuni Sangha==
[[File:Venerabletzuchuang-cropped.JPG|right|thumb|A [[bhikkuni]] of the Chinese Mahayana tradition]]
The Bhikkhuni Sangha (a Dhamma-Vinaya heritage started by Buddha during his lifetime in India), locally known as ''Bhikkhuni Sasana'' or ''Meheini Sasna'' (Order of Priestesses or Nuns) was established by Sangamitta in Sri Lanka prospered for over 1000 years, till it disappeared in 1017 AD. The reason for such an end is attributed to the invasion of [[Chola]]s, [[Hindu]] rulers from [[South India]], whereafter Bhikkhus and Bhikkunis were not seen in Sri Lanka for quite some years.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/>

Bhikkuni ordination is the third and ultimate stage of the ordination of nuns; the earlier two stages are the ''sramanerika'' (novice) and ''siksamana'' (probationary). In India, the Bhikkuni Order was established by Buddha six years after the Bhikkhu Order was established, in the 6th century BC. It was spread to Sri Lanka by Sangamitta in the 3rd BC. Initially, with the spread of Buddhism in ancient India, 18 (eighteen) Vinaya schools developed. However, now only three are extant. These are the Theravada practiced in Sri Lanka and [[Southeast Asia]]; the [[Dharmaguptaka]] that is practiced in [[Taiwan]], China, [[Korea]], [[Vietnam]] and the [[Philippines]]; and the third school is the [[Mulasarvastivada]] adopted in [[Tibet]].<ref name=Chodron>{{Cite web|url=http://www.congress-on-buddhist-women.org/index.php?id=30|title=A New Possibility: Introducing Full Ordination for Women into the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition|author=Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron|access-date=2010-05-03|publisher=International Congress on Buddhist Women’s Role in the Sangha Bhikshuni Vinaya and Ordination Lineages|archive-date=28 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928185818/http://www.congress-on-buddhist-women.org/index.php?id=30|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 429 AD, Bhikkuni Devasara had realised that Bhikkuni Sanga, on account of war and famine, could vanish from Sri Lanka. She, therefore, had led a mission to China to establish the Bhikkuni Sasana. The original Theravada Bhikkuni lineage established in China since 429 AD has continued to function to this day.<ref name=Thailand/><ref name=Sangamitta/> However, [[Asarana Sarana Saranankara Maha Thera]] re-introduced the Higher Ordination from Thailand. He is credited with re-establishing the Order of Monks in Sri Lanka in 1753 AD. It is now said that there are more than 400 Bhikkunis in the country.<ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=Chodron/>

In Thailand, the lineage is well established. A clay statue of Sanghamitta made by Dhammananda in 2002, is deified in a shrine room at Songdhammakalyani Monastery in Nakhonpathom. Her image is flanked by images of 13 Arahat Theris.<ref name=Thailand/>

It is also reported that a few women from Western countries practising the Theravada tradition and a few women from Thailand have been ordained to bhikkuni order in Sri Lanka in recent years.<ref name=Chodron/>

==Uduvapa Poya festival==
Unduvapa Poya festival is observed in Sri Lanka on the Full Moon of December to commemorate two specific events namely, Theri Sangamitta day of arrival from India to establish the Order of Nuns and to also mark her bringing a sapling of the sacred Bodhi-Tree from Bodh Gaya and planting it in Anuradhapura. The festival day has been designated as "Sanghamitta Day". On this day, ten ordained nuns initiate the festive celebrations every year.<ref name=Sangamitta/><ref name=festival/> This observance was revived in 1903 at the suggestion of the Mahabodhi Society of Sri Lanka.<ref name=Harishchandra/>

This Observance is performed by Buddhists by first following the 'Five Precepts'; bathing, shaving, wearing white robes, and kneeling with clean bare feet in a shrine before a Buddha statue. The kneeling and bowing are done the first three times with feet, hands, elbows, knees and head touching the floor. This is followed by reciting loudly the memorised prayers, with folded hands (palms at the heart). The prayers offered from sunrise until the next dawn starting with the words are: {{quotation|As long as this life lasts. 
I hereby take refuge in the Buddha. 
I hereby take refuge in the Dhamma. 
I hereby take refuge in the Sangha. 
I hereby seek shelter in the Buddha for the 2nd time. 
I hereby seek shelter in the Dhamma for the 2nd time. 
I hereby seek shelter in the Sangha for the 2nd time. 
I hereby request protection from the Buddha for the 3rd time. 
I hereby request protection from the Dhamma for the 3rd time. 
I hereby request protection from the Sangha for the 3rd time. 
I will hereby respect these Three Jewels the rest of my life! 
I accept to respect & undertake these 5 training rules: 
I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Killing. 
I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Stealing. 
I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Sexual Abuse. 
I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Dishonesty. 
I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Alcohol & Drugs. 
As long as this life lasts, I am thus protected by these 5 precepts... <ref name=festival/>}}

It is also a prayer offered on this day for the revival of Bhikkuni Sasana in Sri Lanka with the hope that it will flourish in the future. It is proposed that the day should also be celebrated as the [[International Women’s Day]], as a mark of honour to Sangamitta who established the women's Order.<ref name=Sangamitta/>

==History==
The [[Santragachi]] and [[Ramrajatala]] areas in [[Howrah district|Howrah]] were previously undeveloped. There were only two high schools; "Santragachi Madhya Engreji School" and "Chakraberia Madhyamik School". Both were English medium and aided by the Government. A "toll" or "pathsala" was started in 1770 by the Bhattacharya family. In 1800, Gourikanta Bhattacharya expanded the toll which existed up to 1860. In 1857, zamindar [[Kedarnath Bhattacharya|Baboo Kedarnath Bhattacharya]] established a vernacular Bengali medium school with the help of Government aid. It was the first vernacular Bengali medium school to receive Government aid.<ref name="auto1"/> In 1864, this school was demolished by cyclone, and was removed to the house of Kedarnath Bhattacharya, where it stayed for two years. At a cost of ₹4000/- a new pucca building was constructed for the school.<ref>{{cite book|last= Alok Kumar Mukherjee|title=Howrah, a Study in Urbanization|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cGZPAAAAMAAJ|year=1991|page=99|publisher=Chatterjee Publishers |isbn=9788185089089}}</ref> In 1870, this school was amalgamated with Santragachi Madhya Engraji School and named the Santragachi Minor School.<ref name="telegraphindia.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/a-school-for-santragachhi-girls/cid/1574774|title=A school for Santragachhi girls|website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref> An educationist and zamindar, Manmatanath Seth, wanted to build a high school for the children of the locality, so he donated a grant of money. The Kar brothers (Mahendranath Kar, Upendranath Kar and Narendranath Kar) donated land, but Manmatanath Seth died before the High school could be constructed. The Kar brothers built the school using the donations for the students of Santragachi Minor School and in November 1925, this was named "Kedarnath Institution" in the name of Baboo Kedarnath Bhattacharya who had died in 1915.<ref name="auto2"/><ref name="telegraphindia.com"/> The foundation year is now considered as 1925.

The foundation stone was laid by the vice-chancellor and professor of [[Ashutosh College]], [[Ashutosh Mukherjee]] on 17 July 1920. From 1925, the newly named institution started functioning with 225 students in six classrooms. In 1926, the class for the ninth standard started with the temporary permission of [[Calcutta University]], and in 1927, after the completion of the tenth standard, the school's students were sent for board exams the first time. In 1933, the school received its permanent affiliation from the [[School Education Department, West Bengal|West Bengal Board]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://in.placedigger.com/santragachi-kedarnath-institution1874050893.html|title=Santragachi Kedarnath Institution - Howrah - School|website=Placedigger.com|access-date=27 January 2018}}</ref> In 1960, the school was recognised by the [[University of Calcutta|University Of Calcutta]], to impact Elementary Scientific knowledge and Elementary Mechanics to the students.<ref name="auto3">{{Cite web | title=Full text of "University Of Calcutta The Calendar 1952,vol.1" | url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.97476/2015.97476.University-Of-Calcutta-The-Calendar-1952vol1_djvu.txt | access-date=2025-01-16 | website=archive.org}}</ref>

[[Image:Vishnou Népal Guimet 21107.jpg|thumb|Vaikuntha-Kamalaja, [[Nepal]], gilt copper and inlaid, 14th century, [[Guimet Museum]].]]
'''Vaikuntha-Kamalaja''' (or '''Lakshmi-Narayana''') is a composite [[androgynous]] form of the [[Hinduism|Hindu]] god [[Vishnu]] and his consort [[Lakshmi]]. It is also known as '''Ardhanari Narayana''' and '''Vasudeva Kamalaja.''' Vaikuntha-Kamalaja is a rare form, mostly restricted to [[Nepal]] and the [[Kashmir]] region of [[India]].

Like [[Ardhanarishvara]], Vaikuntha-Kamalaja is depicted as half male and half female, split down the middle. The right half is the male Vishnu, illustrating his traditional attributes.

The concept as well as iconography of Vaikuntha-Kamalaja is derived from [[Ardhanarishvara]] – the popular androgynous form of the god [[Shiva]] and his consort Parvati.<ref name="pal">{{cite journal|last=Pal|first=Pratapaditya |year=1967|title=Vaiṣṇava Art from Nepal in the Museum|journal=Boston Museum Bulletin|publisher=Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|volume=65|issue=340|pages=44–45|jstor=4171471}}</ref><ref name="britishMuseum"/><ref name="sircar"/> P.

==Iconography and symbolism==
[[File:Vaikuntha Kamalaja (Podar Haveli Museum).jpg|thumb|North Indian-style mural of Vaikuntha Kamalaja in Podar Haveli Museum, [[Nawalgarh, Rajasthan]].
]]
As explained in Saradatilaka and Tantrasara, Vaikuntha-Kamalaja, like Ardhanarishvara, symbolise the oneness or non-duality of male and female principles of the universe.<ref name="pal"/><ref name="britishMuseum"/><ref name="puri"/> The Shilparatna specifically talks about the oneness of Vishnu and Lakshmi.<ref name="puri"/> It also denotes the combination of ''Sat'' (truth) and ''Cit'' (consciousness), producing ''ananda'' (bliss) (See [[Satcitananda]]).<ref name="garg"/> Like Ardhanarishvara, the left half is female signifying Lakshmi, the right is the male Vishnu. The icon is depicted standing on a lotus pedestal or may be seated on the [[Garuda]] or Garuda (the [[vahana]] – mount – of Vishnu) as well as a tortoise or [[Kurma]], often associated with Vishnu, but aligned with Lakshmi as her mount in this particular iconography. Sometimes, the Garuda and the tortoise may be depicted kneeling to the deity on male and female side respectively of the standing deity. Vaikuntha-Kamalaja is eight-armed, has a fuller female breast and a longer floral-patterned waist-garment on the left, while the male half wears a plain shorter waist-garment up to the knee or a same length garment but with a different design. The Vishnu half holds the four traditional attributes of Vishnu: [[Sudarshana chakra|chakra]](discus), [[shankha]] (conch), gada (mace) and lotus. The female half holds a ''[[kalasha]]'' (coconut-mango leaves atop a pot) or ''kumbha'' (water-pot) filled with gems, mirror, manuscript or book and a lotus. The goddess side may also hold a bell or a rosary. The manuscript and mirror are never associated with Lakshmi's iconography, however they are traditionally associated with other goddesses, suggesting their influence on the iconography of female side. The manuscript is the attribute of goddess [[Sarasvati]], while the mirror is the traditional attribute of [[Parvati]], especially in Ardhanarishvara icons. The necklace, anklets, waist-belt are common on both sides; the ear-rings, shape of the crown and arm ornaments differ.<ref name="pal"/><ref name="britishMuseum">{{cite journal|last=Pal|first=Pratapaditya|date=Winter 1964–1965|title=Notes on Five Sculptures from Nepal|journal=[[British Museum Quarterly|The British Museum Quarterly]]|publisher=[[British Museum]]|volume=29|issue=1/2|pages=32–33|doi=10.2307/4422882|jstor=4422882}}</ref><ref name="sircar"/><ref name="baijnath">{{cite web|url=http://www.baijnathtemple.com/sculpture1.htm|title=ARDH LAXMI-NARAYAN: Sculptures in Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh|access-date=30 May 2011}}</ref>

Among his measures are celebrating [[Basant Panchami]] in schools, singing [[Saraswati Vandana Mantra|Saraswati vandana]] and performing [[Surya Namaskara|surya namaskar]] every day. However, his measures to introduce compulsory Saraswati puja and surya namaskar have invited opposition from the schools run by the [[Arya Samaj]], Muslim community and the Christian missionaries.<ref name="Saraswati">[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Govt-and-private-schools-to-observe-Saraswati-puja-on-Basant-Panchami/articleshow/46001385.cms Govt and private schools to observe Saraswati puja on Basant Panchami], The Times of India, 24 January 2015.</ref><ref name="suryanamaskar">[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Surya-namaskar-made-compulsory-in-48000-schools-Rajasthan/articleshow/46114163.cms Surya Namaskar made compulsory in 48,000 schools in Rajasthan], The Times of India, 4 February 2015.</ref>

In March 2016, Devnani announced that "major changes" were being made in the school curriculum, by including the biographies of freedom fighters, so as to ensure that "no one like [[Kanhaiya Kumar]]" would be born again. In view of [[JNU sedition controversy|the events at the Jawaharlal Nehru University]], he said that it was necessary to inculcate a "feeling of patriotism" in the students.<ref>[http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/books-to-be-changed-so-that-no-one-like-kanhaiya-kumar-is-born-rajasthan-minister-1288390 http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/books-to-be-changed-so-that-no-one-like-kanhaiya-kumar-is-born-rajasthan-minister-1288390], NDTV News, 18 March 2016.</ref>

==Biography==

===Early life and education===

Handique studied English literature at [[Presidency College, Calcutta]] (now Kolkata). He went on to complete M.A. in English from the University of Calcutta.

He attended [[Jorhat Govt. Boys' H.S and M.P. School]] in his formative years.

In Class VII, he joined the local Students' Congress, during India's freedom movement. There, he mobilised other students in a 'Vote for Congress' campaign, before the Assam provincial elections of 1945. He organised literary circles for talks around freedom. This was much against the wishes of his father, who then wanted him to pursue a career in academics.<ref name="ReferenceA">Conversation with B K Handique and others</ref>

He became a member of Youth Congress formally in 1961.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

===1962: School===


In the early 1960s, Handique became concerned about the lack of an English medium school in the vast Upper Assam area. This led him to eventually establish the Hemlata Handiqui Memorial Institute [HHMI], the first English medium school in Upper Assam, in 1962. This eventually developed HHMI, which encouraged students to take up subjects as diverse as workshops on music and Shakespeare.

The task was not without its hiccups, though land for the school was purchased by Handique's family. Within months of the school starting its first classes, the Indo-China war of 1962 broke out. This created panic in Jorhat, and many teachers and students fled from the town. He assisted the Red Cross in their efforts at training and organisation.<ref name="Time Present, Time Past">B K Handique, "Time Present, Time Past: HHMI 1962-2012, Jorhat, 2012"</ref> Handique donated his mother's jewellery to the war effort.<ref name="Time Present, Time Past"/>

"Many people fled following the Chinese aggression and the fall of Tawang and Bomdila in the northeastern sector. There was great panic. Our first principal, J S Walters, went missing. He left without notice, taking only his bicycle with him. Due to fears of a full scale war, the school was closed for a month."<ref>B K Handique, "Time Present Time Past: HHMI 1962-2012" Commemorative volume, Jorhat</ref>

In 2012, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary. Handique composed a song for the occasion, set to tune by a former student.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1121026/jsp/northeast/story_16121856.jsp#.Ux74Nz_7KWh|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304095319/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1121026/jsp/northeast/story_16121856.jsp#.Ux74Nz_7KWh|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 March 2016|title=Lyrical traits of a leader|work=The Telegraph}}</ref>

====Position on AFSPA: The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958====
Handique has been critical of the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) and has given his views on the floor of Parliament. The Act gives the Indian Army immunity to arrest without warrant on suspicion, shoot and kill any citizen in areas deemed disturbed by the government, without any recourse to scrutiny. AFPSA is currently implemented in certain parts of Northeast India and Kashmir.

In July 1998 at the Lok Sabha debates, he said, "The Armed Forces operating in the insurgency-prone Northeast, was never examined to assess that this could degenerate into a Draconian piece of legislation… an Army officer armed with such power to kill, an immunity under the Act, is naturally instigated to invoke such powers right from the word 'go' in a confrontation... If fighting terrorism is a state of mind, then causing deaths, while tackling the terrorists, is also likely to be registered on an Army personnel's state of mind. So it's full of paradox. Government deploys the Army to fight the terrorists for the protection of its citizens, but it's the common men and women who are caught in the crossfire and suffer the most... I understand the feelings where brutal operations were conducted under the Armed Forces Act. It's true that the scars on the soul cannot be bartered away with economic packages".<ref>Lok Sabha Debates; July 1998</ref>

Handique was a member of:<ref name="memberof"/>

* Union Minister of State, Chemicals & Fertilizers, 2006 –2009

Before he took ministerial responsibilities in 2004, Handique frequently spoke on Parliamentary processes and procedures to Central government probationary officers including Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officers. These lectures were organised by the Bureau of Parliamentary Studies and Training.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bpst.nic.in/|title=BPST, Lok Sabha Secretariat, Indian Parliament, Delhi, India|work=bpst.nic.in|access-date=8 March 2014|archive-date=1 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301063020/http://bpst.nic.in/|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=March 2014|reason=point source to specific lecture topics involving Handique}}

As Minister of State and Cabinet Minister for seven years in the 14th and part of 15th Lok Sabha (between June 2004 and July 2011), Handique participated in debates on behalf of the government. Only starred questions and replies have been included in the three volumes<ref>B K Handique, "A Life in Parliament," New Delhi, 2013</ref> for economy of space. Under Parliamentary proceedings, ministers do not ask questions, but reply to questions of Members. They also do not introduce private member bills.

They include debates on Assam Appropriation Bill, Assam State legislature (Delegation of Powers) Bill, 1981, Floods in Assam, Chaparmukh-Silghat Railway line Bill, Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Bill, Tea (Amendment) Bill, Gangtok Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, among others.

Bills of national importance include Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Bill, The Representation of the People (Amendment) Bill, 1985, Handloom Bill, The Copyrights (Amendment) Bill, National Health Policy, General Budgets and Finance Bills, among others.

"Scope of a Minister as a Parliamentarian, is of course different from that of a Member of Parliament. How I speak as an M.P. from the Treasury Benches, as a Member in Opposition and as a member of the Council of Ministers follow conventionally different patterns", Handique writes in his foreword to A Life in Parliament.

====Minister of Mines====
He was the [[Minister of Mines (India)|Minister of Mines]] from May 2009 to 18 January 2011, [[Minister of Development of North Eastern Region (India)|Minister of Development of North Eastern Region]] from May 2009 to July 2011<ref>{{cite web |url=http://india.gov.in/govt/cabinet.php |title=Council of Ministers – Who's Who – Government: National Portal of India |work=india.gov.in |publisher=[[Government of India]] |access-date=11 August 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100813133910/http://india.gov.in/govt/cabinet.php| archive-date= 13 August 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> and [[Minister of State]], Defence & Parliamentary Affairs, Mines & [[Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers (India)|Chemicals and Fertilizers]] between 2004 and 2009.

In the 15th Lok Sabha elections, Handique won from the Jorhat constituency for the sixth consecutive term and was promoted to Union Cabinet minister status. He formally took the oath of office as Union Cabinet Minister holding dual charges of Mines and the Development of North East Region (DoNER) portfolios.

Handique was appointed a Minister of State for Defence and Parliamentary Affairs in 2004, and then was a Minister of State for Chemicals & Fertilizers and Mines up to 2009. It was during his tenure as Union Cabinet Minister of Mines from May 2009 to January 2011 that a new direction was given to the Nation's Mining Policy with the clause for participation and inclusion of local communities in mining belts including tribal areas. The Draft mining bill initiated by Handique was due for introduction in the Indian Parliament.

Handique proposed that 26% of equity or profits from the mining operations of a company should go to the people directly affected by the mining operations. He proposed that this was the only way to give the local tribal populations in mining areas a stake in their operations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.frontline.in/static/html/fl2714/stories/20100716271402600.htm|title=An exercise at reform|work=frontline.in}}</ref>

Handique proposed to make locals –project affected people [PAP]- the stakeholders in the project, and thus remove major impediment in expansion of old or development of new mines.

During his tenure, Handique came under pressure to sell off the government's stakes in profitable mining companies like [[Coal India]] Ltd and Hindustan Copper Ltd, to private players. Despite that, he reasoned that since it was difficult to value these companies and because the benefits of privatisation were not obvious, the government would not sell its stake.<ref>[//www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/article452025.ece The decision not to sell is reported here.]</ref>

He also blocked the privatisation-by-stealth strategy of mining companies like [[Vedanta Resources]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/no-back-door-entry-to-private-firms-for-mining-bk-handique/article666672.ece|title=No back door entry to private firms for mining: B.K. Handique|agency=Press Trust of India|work=The Hindu|date=15 September 2010 }}</ref>

Handique proposed a [[windfall tax]] on ore exported to raise resources for the people adversely affected by projects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-economy/merchant-miners-neglecting-social-responsibility/article994915.ece|title=Merchant miners neglecting social responsibility|work=The Hindu Business Line|date=21 June 2010 }}</ref>

Despite his proposal for a windfall tax, Handique was not in favour of banning mining activities in any state.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/ban-not-the-answer-to-illegal-mining-says-handique/article552467.ece|title=Ban not the answer to illegal mining, says Handique|author=Sujay Mehdudia|work=The Hindu|date=4 August 2010 }}</ref> He requested chief ministers of all mining states to cooperate with the government's efforts to clean up mining and ensure proper revenue collection.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/illegal-mining-handique-targets-chief-ministers/article85416.ece|title=Illegal mining: Handique targets Chief Ministers|work=The Hindu|date=2 December 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/et-now/corporate/et-interview-with-bk-handique-mines-minister/videoshow/6123669.cms|title=ET Interview with BK Handique, Mines Minister - The Economic Times Video - ET Now|work=The Economic Times|date=3 July 2010 }}</ref>

====Minister of Development of the North Eastern Region====

During his tenure as Minister of Development of North Eastern Region, he initiated policy changes regarding connectivity, promotion of youth and industry in the Region. Integration of the Region to the Mainstream was his major focus as the Minister of DoNER.

====Post-Cabinet Minister activities====

After tendering his resignation as Cabinet Minister, Handique was appointed chairman of the newly constituted parliamentary Standing Committee for Welfare of Other Backward Classes.

After 2012, he was a member of the Indian National Congress' Central Election Committee. The 14-member panel, chaired by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, is entrusted with the task of selecting party candidates for state and national elections.

[[File:NK SHUKLA INDORE.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Narayan Prasad Shukla]]]]
During the tenure of [[Tejlal Tambhare Harishchandra]] as Speaker of the [[Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly]], the day-to-day conduct of several Assembly proceedings was overseen by [[Narayan Prasad Shukla]], who served as the Deputy Speaker. Contemporary accounts and Assembly records indicate that Shukla frequently presided over sittings, facilitated debates, and ensured the smooth functioning of legislative business, particularly during the Speaker’s absence or engagement in administrative responsibilities.<ref name=":0" />

As Deputy Speaker, Narayan Prasad Shukla played a key procedural role in maintaining order in the House, supervising legislative discussions, and guiding members on parliamentary practices. His active involvement in Assembly proceedings during this period contributed to legislative continuity and administrative efficiency within the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly.<ref name=":0" />

Tejlal Tambhare Harishchandra, as Speaker, continued to hold constitutional authority over the Assembly, while delegating operational responsibilities in accordance with parliamentary conventions. This division of responsibilities between the Speaker and Deputy Speaker reflected established legislative practice in the state during that period.<ref name=":0" />

The '''Deputy Speaker of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly''' is the second-highest-ranking legislative officer of the [[Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly]]. The following is a chronological list of Deputy Speakers since the formation of the state in 1956.

Cylindro-conoidal bullet

2026-01-19T11:16:07Z

ArielGrace8803: put up new article.

{{Short description|Type of muzzleloading projectile}}
[[File:Civil War Cylindro-Conoidal Bullets.jpg|thumb|Two [[American Civil War|Civil War]] cylindro-conoidal [[Minié ball]]s]]
{{Notability|date=February 2023}}
The '''cylindro-conoidal bullet''' is a type of [[muzzleloading]] [[firearm]] [[projectile]] with a [[tangent ogive|convexly cone-like]] front end ("[[nose cone|nose]]") and a [[cylindrical]] rear body, invented by Captain John Norton of the British [[34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot|34th Regiment]] in 1832. It had a [[hollow-base bullet|cavitied base]], so when fired, the thin concavity wall ("skirt") would expand outwards and seal up the [[gauge (bore diameter)|bore diameter]]. The origin of his idea is an interesting one: when in southern [[British India]], he examined the [[blowgun|blow pipe]] [[dart (missile)|dart]]s used by the natives and found that their base was formed of [[Elasticity (physics)|elastic]] lotus [[pith]], which by its expansion against the inner surface of the blow pipe prevented the [[leak]]age of air past it.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Y8CNoQqSywC&pg=RA1-PA191&dq=Captain+Norton+Minie+1832#PRA1-PA191,M1 ''Of Arms and Men'' By Robert L. O'Connell p.191]</ref>

In 1836, Mr. W. Greener, a [[London]]-based [[gunsmith]], improved on Norton's bullet design by inserting a conoidal wooden plug into its base. Although both inventions were rejected by the [[Board of Ordnance|British Ordnance Department]], the idea was taken up in [[France]], and in 1849 [[Claude-Étienne Minié]] adopted Greener's design and produced the "[[Minié ball]]".

==Entrepreneurial ventures==
A first-generation entrepreneur, Mittal started his first business in April 1976<ref name=generator>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU39b9g1oOo | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706081032/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU39b9g1oOo| archive-date=2014-07-06 | url-status=dead|via=YouTube|title=Sunil Mittal TimesNow interview|access-date=1 April 2010}}</ref> at the age of 18, with a capital investment of {{INRConvert|20000}} borrowed from his father. His first business was to make crankshafts for local bicycle manufacturers.<ref name=cnn>{{cite news |url= https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/01/22/8397979/index2.htm |title= Wireless Wonder: India's Sunil Mittal |author= Clay Chandler |date= 17 January 2007 |publisher= CNN |access-date=1 April 2010}}</ref>

In 1980, he along with his brothers Rakesh Mittal and [[Rajan Mittal]] started an Import Enterprise named Bharti Overseas Trading Company.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> He sold his bicycle parts and yarn factories and moved to [[Mumbai]].<ref name=cnn/> In 1981, he purchased importing licenses from exporting companies in [[Punjab]].<ref name=generator/> He then imported thousands of [[Suzuki Motors]]'s portable electric-power [[Electric generator|generator]]s from Japan. The importing of generators was suddenly banned by the then [[Government of India|Indian Government]].

In 1984, he started assembling push-button phones in India,<ref name=generator/> which he earlier used to import from a Taiwan company, Kingtel, replacing the old fashioned, bulky [[Rotary dial|rotary phones]] that were in use in the country then. Bharti Telecom Limited (BTL) was incorporated and entered into a technical tie up with [[Siemens AG]] of Germany for the manufacture of electronic push button phones. He named his first push-button phones as 'Mitbrau' By the early 1990s, Mittal was making fax machines, cordless phones and other telecom gear. .<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

In 1992, he successfully bid for one of the four mobile phone network licenses auctioned in India.<ref name=dream/> One of the conditions for the Delhi cellular license was that the bidder have some experience as a telecom operator. So, Mittal clinched a deal with the French telecom group [[Vivendi]]. He was one of the first Indian entrepreneurs to identify the mobile telecom business as a major growth area. His plans were finally approved by the Government in 1994<ref name=generator/> and he launched services in Delhi in 1995, when Bharti Cellular Limited (BCL) was formed to offer cellular services under the brand name [[Bharti Airtel|AirTel]] in 1997. Within a few years Bharti became the first telecom company to cross the 2-million mobile subscriber mark. Bharti also brought down the STD/ISD cellular rates in India under brand name 'Indiaone'.<ref name=generator/>

In May 2008, it emerged that [[Sunil Bharti Mittal]] was exploring the possibility of buying the [[MTN Group]], a South Africa-based telecommunications company with coverage in 21 countries in Africa and the Middle East. ''[[The Financial Times]]'' reported that Bharti was considering offering US$45&nbsp;billion for a 100% stake in MTN, which would be the largest overseas acquisition ever by an Indian firm. However, both sides emphasize the tentative nature of the talks, while ''[[The Economist]]'' magazine noted, "If anything, Bharti would be [[Hypergyny|marrying up]]," as MTN has more subscribers, higher revenues and broader geographic coverage.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.economist.com/daily/news/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11323216&top_story=1 |title= Emerging-market telecoms: Eyes on Africa |date= 6 May 2008 |newspaper= The Economist|access-date=1 April 2010}}</ref> However, the talks fell apart as MTN group tried to reverse the negotiations by making Bharti almost a subsidiary of the new company.<ref name=deal>{{cite news |url= https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/technology/25bharti.html |title= $50 Billion Telecom Deal Falls Apart |author= Heather Timmons|date= 25 May 2008 |work=The New York Times |access-date=1 April 2010}}</ref> In May 2009, Bharti Airtel again confirmed that it was in talks with MTN and the companies agreed to discuss the potential transaction exclusively by 31 July 2009.

In June 2010, Bharti led by Mittal acquired the African business of [[Zain Group|Zain Telecom]] for $10.7&nbsp;billion (enterprise value) making it the largest ever acquisition by an Indian telecom firm.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Bharti-completes-acquisition-of-Zains-Africa-biz-for-10-7bn/articleshow/6023848.cms |title=Bharti completes acquisition of Zain's Africa biz for $10.7bn|work=The Times of India |date=8 June 2010 |access-date=12 November 2015}}</ref> In 2012, Bharti tied up with [[Wal-Mart]], the US retail giant, to start a number of retail stores across India.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-21/wal-mart-in-talks-with-bharti-after-india-eases-rules|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924205229/http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-09-21/wal-mart-in-talks-with-bharti-after-india-eases-rules|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2012|title=Wal-Mart May Open India Retail Stores Within Two Years|magazine=Bloomberg Businessweek|access-date=5 April 2013}}</ref> In 2014, Bharti planned to acquire [[Loop Mobile]] for INR 7&nbsp;billion, but the deal was called off later.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/bharti-airtel-calls-off-rs-700-crore-deal-to-acquire-loop-mobile/articleshow/45044945.cms|title=Airtel calls of deal to acquire Loop telecom|work=The Economic Times|access-date= 30 June 2015}}</ref> His son [[Kavin Bharti Mittal]] is the CEO and founder of [[hike Messenger]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/sunil-mittal/ |title=Sunil Mittal & family |work=[[Forbes]] |access-date=2 December 2016}}</ref>

In 2012, Mittal took Bharti Infratel public with an [[IPO]] that raised $760&nbsp;million. Mittal noted that the sale, considered by many to be only a modest success, was a "strong endorsement from qualified investors".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/495256d0-486b-11e2-a1c0-00144feab49a|title=Bharti Infratel IPO raises $760m|website=Financial Times|access-date=13 August 2017}}{{subscription required}}</ref> The board was restructured ahead of the IPO with Mittal remaining as chairman and managing director.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.firstpost.com/business/bharti-rejigs-board-ahead-of-tower-arm-ipo-471330.html|title=Bharti rejigs board ahead of tower arm IPO|date=27 September 2012|work=Firstpost|access-date=13 August 2017}}</ref> After the IPO, shares of Bharti Infratel dropped sharply at the commencement of trading.<ref name="Reuters">{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/bharti-infratel-listing-idINDEE8BR02M20121228|title=Bharti Infratel shares drop 13 percent in market debut|date=28 December 2012|work=Reuters|access-date=13 August 2017}}</ref>

In 2013, Mittal was ordered to appear before a special Delhi court<ref name="Reuters"/> to answer questions about the additional allocation of airwaves to certain companies. Allegations against Mittal state that there had been collusion with key telecoms officials in the government to illegally secure an extra spectrum. No charges were issued against Mittal, however the trial court judge noted that there was enough material on record to proceed.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/naazneenkarmali/2013/03/20/billionaires-sunil-mittal-ravi-ruia-face-court-grilling-in-telecom-probe/|title=Billionaires Sunil Mittal, Ravi Ruia Face Court Grilling in Telecom Probe|last=Karmali|first=Naazneen|work=Forbes|access-date=13 August 2017}}</ref>

'''Kalamandalam Radhika''' is an Indian classical dancer, choreographer, research scholar, teacher, writer and philanthropist. She was the first non-resident Keralite to win the [[Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award]] for [[Mohiniyattom]]. She learnt [[Kuchipudi]], [[Bharatanatyam]], [[Kathakali]] and other dance forms.

==Early years and education==
Kalamandalam Radhika was born in [[Bangalore]] to K.K Nair, a chartered accountant. She started learning dancing at the age of three under Guru Rajan, and later learnt Kathakali from Muttar Sri. Narayana Panicker and mridhangamvaitharis from Guru Ponniahpillai.
In the late 1960s, she moved to [[Cheruthuruthy]] and stayed at the Kalamandalam for four years. Under the wings of Chinnammu Amma, Kalamandalam Sathyabhama and Kalamandalam Padmanabhan Nair she was moulded into a skilled performer. Her tutelage under the late Kalamandalam Kalyani Kutty Amma and her training under Kalamandalam Padmanabha Ashan in Kathakali honed her skills.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/fr/2005/04/01/stories/2005040101700200.htm |title=Entertainment Thiruvananthapuram / Personality : Dancer and philanthropist |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=2005-04-01 |access-date=2016-11-17}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

==Dancer and choreographer==

She is a member of the [[UNESCO]] International Dance Council, and has conducted her performances for WHO delegates, SAARC delegates, diplomats, Soviet representatives, and others.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kerala.com/ker_int/newinterview.php?recid=8 |title=Kerala Interviews, Interview of the week |website=Kerala.com |date= |access-date=2016-11-17 |archive-date=19 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160119101740/http://www.kerala.com/ker_int/newinterview.php?recid=8 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

She has composed and choreographed five cholkettus, three [[varnams]] and innumerable padams in different languages. She was criticized for performing biblical themes in Mohiniattam, but the poetical works of VeerappaMoily, Kuvempu, Fr. Abel, Amruth Someshwar and St. Chavara as adapted by Radhika were well received.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thecmsindia.org/dance.html |title=Home |website=Thecmsindia.org |date= |access-date=2016-11-17 |archive-date=6 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506190715/http://www.thecmsindia.org/dance.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The '''[[Sujani]] embroidery work of Bihar''', is a textile expressive art product, given protection under the [[List of Geographical Indications in India|GI registration]] act. It is usually a quilt or bed spread, which was earlier made of old clothes, but is now generally made of easily available fabric with embroidery done with the most simple stitches with motifs narrating stories. It is exclusively made by women in 15 villages of [[Bhusra]] in the [[Gaighat block]] of [[Muzaffarpur]] and a few villages of [[Madhubani, Bihar|Madhubani]] in the [[States and union territories of India|Indian state]] of [[Bihar]].<ref name=Ministry>{{Cite web|url=http://ipindia.nic.in/girindia/journal/18.pdf|title=Geographical Indications Journal No.18: Sujani Embroidery Work of Bihar|date=1 June 2007|accessdate=18 May 2016|publisher=Development Commissioner (Handcrafts), Ministry of Textiles|pages=40–47|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810000351/http://ipindia.nic.in/girindia/journal/18.pdf|archivedate=10 August 2013}}</ref><ref name=National>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nift.ac.in/patna/craft%20cluster.pdf|title=Craft Cluster: Sujini Embroidery|accessdate=18 May 2016|publisher=National Institute of Fashion Technology|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418004555/http://www.nift.ac.in/patna/craft%20cluster.pdf|archivedate=18 April 2016}}</ref>

The [[Sujani]] embroidery work of Bihar is protected under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act (GI Act) 1999 of the [[Government of India]]. It was registered by the Controller General of Patents Designs and Trademarks under the title "Sujani Embroidery Work of Bihar" and recorded under GI Application number 74, Class 26 as a textile item. The GI tag was approved on 21 September 2006.<ref name=Ministry/><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ipindia.nic.in/girindia/application_Status/Annexure5_Applications_Registered_StateWise_15December2014.pdf|title=Statewise Break up of Indian GI Registered Applications till December 15, 2014|accessdate=18 May 2016|publisher=National Informatics Center|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611110623/http://ipindia.nic.in/girindia/application_Status/Annexure5_Applications_Registered_StateWise_15December2014.pdf|archivedate=11 June 2016}}</ref>

==Location==
Bhusra, the village where the craft work originated, is {{Convert|100 |km}} away from where the art of [[Mithila painting]] started. It was done in the olden days and even now by rural women of [[Muzaffarpur district]] of [[north Bihar]].<ref name=Ministry/>

==History==
The earliest known traditional practice of making the embroidered Sujani quilt is traced to the 18th century.<ref name=Craft>{{Cite web|url=http://www.craftmark.org/sites/default/files/P027%20Sujni%20Embroidery.pdf|title=Sujni Embroidery|accessdate=18 May 2016|publisher=Craftwork organization|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160605024005/http://www.craftmark.org/sites/default/files/P027%20Sujni%20Embroidery.pdf|archivedate=5 June 2016}}</ref> Its basic purpose was to give a soft cover to the newly born babies immediately after birth. It was then made with pieces of cloth in different colors derived from used [[sari]]s and [[dhotis]] by sewing them together, adopting a simple running stitch. This process involved use of three or four patches of old saris or dhotis, fitted one over the other and then quilting them together using the thread that was also drawn from the discarded garments. Motifs expressing the desire of the mother for her newborn child were sewn on the quilt, generally done with a chain stitch in dark color.<ref name=National/>

The Sujani technique is based on two ancient beliefs. In one ritualistic tradition, it represented the presence of a deity known as "Chitiriya Ma, the Lady of the Tatters". It symbolized the concept of unifying together incongruous elements holistically into a unified whole. The second objective was to make soft coverlet to wrap the newly born child as if the child was in the soft hug of its mother.<ref name=National/>

The word Sujani is a compound word of ‘su’ meaning "easy and facilitating" and ‘jani’ meaning "birth".<ref name=National/>

The motifs sewn on the quilt represented [[sun]] and cloud, indicative of life-giving forces, fertility symbols, sacred animals, and mythical animals to protect against evil forces, and to attract blessings from the gods. Use of different shades of threads symbolized life's forces such as red, symbolic of blood and yellow denoting the sun.<ref name=National/>

The above pattern of making the Sujani product had almost become extinct till it was revived in 1988 at the initiative of Nirmal Devi of the Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti (MVSS), an autonomous society, located in the village of Bhusra near Muzaffarpur. Now, there are about 600 women of 22 villages around Bhusra who actively pursue this craft work.<ref name=National/>

==Product details==
The quilt that is made with this embroidery work represents the feelings of agony and ambitions of women in a man's world. She is making the craft work in the form of specific motifs embroidered on both sides of the product. On one face of the fabric the motifs express the women's anguish to the form of the violent behavior of drunk men towards his wife, act of giving dowry seeking a groom during the marriage, village men gathered at a village meeting place, and women covered with a veil. The other face of the product depicts a woman's ambition of earning a living by selling her product in a marketplace or a woman lecturing in an assembly of people, a woman holding court and showing her prowess.<ref name=Ministry/>

The materials used in making this product now are expensive pieces of cotton such as "Salita" or a cheaper variety of white or coloured marking, [[Tussar silk]], [[casement cloth]], and embroidery threads such as moon thread or rangoli or anchor thread. The motifs are designed by the women sewing the quilt, usually of their choice. The embroidery is done as a fine running stitch with the thread of the same colour as the background cloth. For the main outline of the proposed pattern, chain stitch using black, brown and red thread is used.<ref name=Ministry/>

The products made now are as quilts or bed sheets. They have designs of rural scenes, episodes of Hindu epics, current social themes such as
[[female infanticide]], violence during elections, women's education, and [[domestic abuse]]. Also, notable designs seen are of health aspects, about the environment and expression of women's rights.<ref name=Ministry/>

Subir Bhaumik.</ref>

==History==
''The Statesman'' is a direct descendant of two newspapers, the Bombay (now [[Mumbai]]) based ''Indian Statesman'' and ''The Friend of India'' published in Calcutta (now [[Kolkata]]). ''Indian Statesman'' was started by [[Robert Knight (newspaperman)|Robert Knight]], who was previously the principal founder and editor of ''[[The Times of India]]''. Knight merged the two papers to ''Indian Statesman and New Friend of India'' on 15 January 1875.<ref>Griffiths, D. (ed.): The Encyclopedia of the British Press 1422–1992.</ref><ref>Hirschmann, E. (2004). The Hidden Roots of a Great Newspaper: Calcutta’s ‘Statesman’. Victorian Periodicals Review, 37(2), 141–160. JSTOR.</ref> The paper later adopted the current name. It absorbed its erstwhile rival ''The Englishman'' in 1927.<ref>Hirschmann, E. (2004). The Hidden Roots of a Great Newspaper: Calcutta’s ‘Statesman’. Victorian Periodicals Review, 37(2), 141–160. JSTOR.
</ref> The ''Statesman'' was managed by a British corporate group until it transferred ownership to a consortium of companies with N A Palkhivala as Chairman in the mid-1960s. The first editor assigned under this new ownership was [[Pran Chopra]].

In 1978, then editor [[S Nihal Singh]] was awarded the prestigious [[International Editor of the Year Award]] given by ''[[World Press Review]]'', New York, for opposing [[The Emergency (India)|the Emergency]] (1975–77).<ref name="i713">{{cite web | title=International Editor of the Year Award: Previous Recipients | website=Worldpress.org | date=28 January 2025 | url=https://www.worldpress.org/award2.cfm | access-date=28 January 2025}}</ref><ref name="y631">{{cite web | title=Veteran journalist S Nihal Singh no more | website=The Economic Times | date=16 April 2018 | url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/veteran-journalist-s-nihal-singh-no-more/articleshow/63789329.cms?from=mdr | access-date=28 January 2025}}</ref>

==Editorial style==
[[File:The Statesman House in Esplanade.jpg|left|thumb|Statesman House, [[Kolkata]]]]
''The Statesman'' is characterized by its terse reporting style. It holds a liberal position. It opposed the shifting of India's capital from [[Calcutta]] to [[New Delhi]] in 1911, stating that "[t]he British have gone to the city of graveyards to be buried there". It also strenuously opposed [[Indira Gandhi]]'s Emergency in 1975–77. Under the editor [[Ian Stephens (editor)|Ian Stephens]] (who was editor from 1942 to 1951), the newspaper published highly disturbing images, on 22 and 29 August 1943, of the effects of the [[Bengal famine of 1943]], despite the British colonial government's attempts at [[censorship]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Janam |title=Hungry Bengal: War, Famine and the End of Empire|date=2015 |publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York|pages=125–126}}</ref> The images played a major role in changing world opinion on [[imperialism]].

''The Statesman Award for Rural Reporting'' is presented to outstanding journalists every year, irrespective of affiliation, to further the social uplifting of indigents from India. The awards are presented on 16 September every year, the death anniversary of Justice [[Sudhi Ranjan Das]], former [[Chief Justice of India]]'s [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] and chairman of The Statesman during the tumultuous Emergency years.

Once the most widely read English dailies in West Bengal, ''The Statesman'' has now lost some ground to [[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] and ''[[The Times of India]]'' in the state. But it is widely regarded as the paper to read for serious news reportage, incisive analytical articles and usage of standard English language.

''The Statesman'' is a founding member of the Asia News Network, a grouping of 22 Asian newspapers that have joined hands for a daily news exchange. This allows ''The Statesman'' to offer exhaustive coverage of all Asian regions.

==Supplements==
[[File:Stateman_House_New_Delhi.jpg|thumb|Statesman House, [[New Delhi]]]]
''The Statesman'' carries a Thursday feature supplement called "Section 2"<ref>{{Cite web|title=Section 2 – The Statesman|website=The Statesman |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/supplements/section|access-date=21 Jun 2020|archive-date=22 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622111106/https://www.thestatesman.com/supplements/section|url-status=live}}</ref> which is published from New Delhi.

Among other activities every year, "Voices" hosts a 2-day long festival called "Vibes" in Calcutta, which showcases inter-school competitions in different fields, as well as shows by musicians and bands.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Voices|url=https://www.thestatesman.com/supplements/voices|access-date=2021-03-19|website=The Statesman|language=en-US|archive-date=24 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224232450/https://www.thestatesman.com/supplements/voices|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Sunday supplement, "8th Day", is the major literary section of the paper, consisting of reader-contributed short stories and poems while the other Sunday supplement, "Evolve", mainly deals with the cultural scene in India.

== Challenges and Progress ==
IIMSR faced challenges along with other rural medical institutions in Maharashtra due to shortcomings in meeting the [[National Medical Commission]] (NMC) standards. Issues such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of clean drinking water, and insufficient facilities were cited as primary reasons for rejection of several proposals for new medical colleges in the region. Despite these challenges, the state government has committed to addressing these deficiencies, including improving infrastructure and recruiting qualified staff, to ensure compliance with NMC's essential standards.<ref name="ie">{{Cite web |date=2024-07-22 |title=Maharashtra to appeal NMC’s rejection of applications for 10 new medical colleges |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/maharashtra-to-appeal-nmcs-rejection-of-medical-college-applications-9467444/ |access-date=2024-12-26 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Mishra">{{Cite web |last=Misra |first=Barsha |date=28 October 2024 |title=Enrol candidates who were denied admission!
