==Plot==
The film begins with an accident. Gautam is abducted by Chakravarthi. On the way, Gautam is forced to narrate his tale as he talks of stopping a marriage and John too talks of preventing a wedding. Hence, the flashback. Gautam is ready to propose to Simran with a bunch of roses, but destiny has other plans. Elsewhere, Nithya is playing cricket and hits Gautam with her shot. He is then taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Simran falls in love with Dr. Anand, who was treating Gautam and they get married eventually. Gautam is invited and leaves for the wedding, but cannot face Simran. When he walks out, he gets drunk and meets a drunk Nithya, who was actually in love with Anand. They go around freaking out during the night and part ways the next day.

As destiny has it, they happen to meet in a pub after a few days. Gautam accompanies her everywhere. He realises he's in love with her, but before he could tell her, he finds out that she is already engaged. Gautam steps back and stays secluded. Nithya and her fiancé end their engagement over an argument about Gautam. Unaware of this and having moved on, Gautam starts dating a veterinary doctor Kavya, but they break up after an altercation. Nithya realizes that she loves Gautam and goes to his house after his mother dies, to propose to him, but is shocked to see Kavya in his house. Thinking that they both are married, she leaves for Bangalore and accepts the marriage proposal her parents set for her. After realizing Nithya misunderstood him, Gautam and his friends leave for Bangalore to stop the marriage.

On the way to Bangalore, their car stops and Gautam asks for a lift and they accept and that is where he was kidnapped. After a big fight between Gautam and Chakravarthi, it is revealed that John Abraham was looking for the one who gave Gautam a lift, not Gautam. He helps Gautam to reach the wedding. Gautam's friends, who reach the wedding hall, reveal the truth to Nithya. In order to meet Gautam, Nithya escapes from the wedding and ends up asking Chakravarthi for a lift, who accepts looking at the jewellery she is wearing. After listening to her, Chakravarthi realizes that she is Nithya that Gautam came for. He drives back the car to the wedding hall and Nithya take the gun and kidnaps Gautam. Then after a comical scuffle, Nithya reunites with Gautam

==Critical reception==
The film received mixed reviews from critics. ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "It is a convoluted plot that just feels inane on paper but one that could pass off as a comedy of the absurd on screen. But, because of its uneven tone, the film comes across as something that is severely disjointed and unfocussed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1970-01-01 |title=Yennamo Yedho movie review: Wallpaper, Story, Trailer at Times of India |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/moviereviewarticlelist/yennamo-yedho/movie-review/34211120.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223132835/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/moviereviewarticlelist/yennamo-yedho/movie-review/34211120.cms |archive-date=23 December 2017 |access-date=2014-04-27 |publisher=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "there’s no end to the tiresome sequence of romance and break-ups in ''Yennamo Yedho''.

Raghogarh (constituency number 31) is one of the four Vidhan Sabha constituencies located in [[Guna district]].

It has frequently been held by members of one family. In June 2013, [[Mool Singh]], a cousin of [[Digvijaya Singh|Digvijay Singh]], announced that he would be stepping down from the seat at the next elections, paving the way for Digvijay's son, [[Jaivardhan Singh|Jaivardhan]], to be elected in a form of dynastic succession that is common.

It is a remake of the 1999 [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film ''[[Shudhu Ekbar Bolo]]''.<ref name="N"/> and it was one of the highest-grossing movies of the year 2000.

==Plot==
Preeti Vyas is a young woman who bravely comes forward as a witness to a heinous assault carried out by Bhavani Choudhry and his men on a poor teacher whose land they wanted. The injured man is helped to the hospital by Preeti and a courteous and brave man called Avinash, who holds strong morals and values.

Preeti's testimony angers the Choudhry family and, as a result, Choudhry's younger brother, Babloo Choudhry [[rape]]s her. Subsequently, she is disowned by her family and ostracised by society.

She finds shelter with Avinash, who welcomes her to his home. Avinash lives alone with two young children. He later tells Preeti that the children are the result of a clandestine affair his father had with his secretary. The latter contacted Avinash on her deathbed to beg him to take care of the children. His father flat-out refuses to acknowledge the children. Avinash takes them in and moves out of his parents' house. Preeti works at Avinash's office and helps him take care of the children at home. The two live well together as friends, but this union invites a social opprobrium and strong uproar, and there is no other solution but marriage. They soon fall in love, and Avinash decides to ask Preeti for her hand in marriage. She refuses as she sees that as another favour and kind act, and Avinash respects her decision. Both of them attend a wedding where Preeti sees that her friend is marrying Babloo, the man who had raped her, so Avinash beats him up, and the police arrest Babloo and take him away.

After a year, Avinash's childhood friend Khushi returns from the United States. She tries to win his heart, as she is in love with him. This arouses jealousy in Preeti, and she realizes the depth of her love for Avinash. Avinash's parents never approved of his living arrangement with Preeti and want him to marry Khushi. Avinash's mother eventually approaches Preeti and insists she will die with shame if her son marries a rape victim. She begs Preeti to send Avinash to Khushi. Instead of being outraged at this insulting request, Preeti sheds a few tears and agrees. Avinash moves back to his parents' house and agrees to marry Khushi. But Preeti's friend tells Khushi about what Avinash's mother did. Khushi calls off the wedding and tells Avinash the truth. On the other hand, Babloo comes to Preeti's house to take her and marry her since he wants to erase his mistakes by marrying her, and as nobody wants to marry a rape victim, her parents had no other option but to let her go. Eventually, Avinash shows up, stops Babloo from taking away Preeti, and then confronts everyone, including Preeti's parents, for trying to encourage Preeti to marry Babloo, then beats both Babloo and Bhavani as a punishment. Afterwards, Avinash tells Preeti that it's either her choice to leave him or stay with him, as he will always love her. In the end, Preeti and Avinash are reunited.

The '''Kalika Mata Temple''' is located at New Dhrewad in [[Devbhoomi Dwarka district]], [[Gujarat]], India.

== Location and history ==
The temple belongs to [[Maitraka]] period (7th century). The temple is one of the two ancient temples located near the village, other being Rajal Vejal Mata temple.<ref name="Nanavati Dhaky 1969">{{cite journal | last=Nanavati | first=J.

== Architecture ==
[[Madhusudan Dhaky|M. A. Dhaky]] and Nanavati has classified this temple of Vimanakara type due to its ''[[shikhara]]'' (spire) with neo-Dravidic subtype.<ref name="Nanavati Dhaky 1969"/>

The east-facing temple is a ''sandhara'' (sanctuary with an interior ambulatory) type temple with its adhisthana (base) visible at the few places. The sequence of carvings is as follow: large ''padma'' (inverted cyma recta), ''kusuma'', ''vajana'' ("plank-edge" moulding), ''kandhara'' (necking), ''uttara'' (beam), ''urdhvapadma'' (upper cyma moulding), ''kapota'' (roll cornice) and ''pattika'' (plain band). ''Padma'' is not yet evolved into ''Kumbha'' (pot) visible in future ''Nagara'' class temples and ''kumuda'' are very large and not yet evolved in ''[[kalasha]]'' (urn).<ref name="Nanavati Dhaky 1969"/>

The square cella has plain walls crowned with an ''urdhvapadma'' with dog tongue carvings and a ''kapota''. The ''shikhara'' superstructure has five tiers, each having ''[[chandrashala]]'' carvings in decreasing numbers from five to one. The last tier is flanked by half dormers. It is crowned by an ''amlasaraka'' ("corrugated wheel" just below the finial) and a ''kalasha'' which may be added later. There is no deity inside the cella.<ref name="Nanavati Dhaky 1969"/> There are some idols placed inside now.

The ''[[mandapa]]'' hall is closed from sides with plain walls. There is a window at the centre with a ''dandachadya'' (corrugated hood) and ''surasenaka'' (trefoil ''chaitya'' dormer) above it. A band of "rafter’s ends" and a ''kapota'' runs on the top area of the walls. There are four ''bhadraka'' (square pillar with recesses) type pillars in the centre. The ''mukhamandapa'' (entry porch) seems later addition.<ref name="Nanavati Dhaky 1969"/>

The name is derived from the ancient [[Tamil language|Tamil]] name for Sri Lanka, [[Eelam]].

In 1956, the [[Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi]] (ITAK), the most dominant [[:Category:Tamil political parties in Sri Lanka|Tamil political party]] in Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon), lobbied for a united state that would give the minority Tamils and majority [[Sinhalese people|Sinhalese]] equal rights, including recognition of two official languages—Tamil and [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]]—and considerable [[autonomy]] for the Tamil regions of the country. However, the Official Language Act No. 33 of 1956, more simply known as the [[Sinhala Only Act]], was passed in the [[Sri Lanka Parliament|Sri Lankan Parliament]] in 1956. The act replaced [[English language|English]] as the [[official language]] of Sri Lanka with [[Sinhalese language|Sinhala]]; due to the lack of official recognition of the Tamil language, the act was widely viewed by Tamils as a sign of the Sri Lankan state's ambition of establishing a Sinhala–[[Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[nation state]]. Though both the [[Bandaranaike–Chelvanayakam Pact]] and the Senanayake-Chelvanayakam Pact were signed, they were not approved by the Sinhalese dominated Sri Lankan Parliament in 1957 and 1965, respectively. The failure of the Sri Lankan Parliament to implement these agreements caused further disillusionment and isolation among Tamils.

In the [[1970 Ceylonese parliamentary election|1970 Sri Lankan parliamentary election]], the [[United Front (Sri Lanka)|United Front]] led by [[Sirimavo Bandaranaike]] came to power. This new [[Sri Lankan government]] adopted two new policies that were considered discriminatory by the Tamil people; the government introduced a [[policy of standardisation]] to regulate university admissions, which was interpreted as a scheme to reduce the intake of Tamil and other minority students into the Sri Lankan educational system. A similar policy was later adopted for employment in the public sector that caused less than 10 percent of civil service jobs to be available for Tamil speakers. According to historian [[K. M. de Silva]], the system of standardisation of marks (or grades) required the Tamil students to achieve higher marks than Sinhalese students to gain entrance into university.

Under the United Front's constitution during the early 1970s, Tamil students sought ways to form a Tamil independent state where the rights and freedoms of the Tamils could be protected and nurtured. By 1975, all Tamil political parties merged and became known as the [[Tamil United Liberation Front]] (TULF), which was led by prominent Tamil politician [[S. J. V. Chelvanayakam]]. In 1976, the first national convention of the TULF was held at [[Vaddukoddai]], where the party adopted a unanimous resolution called the [[Vaddukoddai Resolution|Vaddukodai Resolution]]. This resolution charged that the Sri Lankan Government had used its power to "deprive the Tamil nation of its territory, language, citizenship, economic life, opportunities of employment and education thereby destroying all the attributes of nationhood of the Tamil people." The resolution further called for the "Free, Sovereign, Secular Socialist State of Tamil Eelam".

===Ancient period===
Evidence of a settlement of people with burial practices similar to that found in the [[Tamil Nadu]] region in India and further North was excavated at [[megalith]]ic burial sites at Pomparippu in the western coast and in [[Kathiraveli]] in the eastern coast. These are dated between the 2nd century BC and 2nd century AD.<ref>de Silva, A ''History of Sri Lanka'', p.129</ref> The [[Jaffna Peninsula]] was referred to in the [[Manimekalai]] (2nd century AD) as ''Naga Nadu,'' inhabited by the [[Naga people (Lanka)|Naga people]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Clarence Maloney|title=People of the Maldive Islands|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_eonAAAAMAAJ|year=1980|publisher=Orient Longman |page=57|isbn=9780861311583}}</ref> They were early ancestors of the [[Sri Lankan Tamils|Eelam Tamils]] who adapted Tamil culture and language.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kj_aWm4DeFEC&q=naga|title=The Sri Lanka Reader: History, Culture, Politics|last=Holt|first=John|date=2011-04-13|publisher=Duke University Press|isbn=978-0822349822|language=en}}</ref> The [[Pallava dynasty]] trace their origin back to a fusion between the [[Chola dynasty|Chola]] king ''Killivalavan'' and the daughter of the [[Naga people (Lanka)|Naga]] king ''Pilli Valai''.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cWmsQQ2smXIC&q=pallava+naga&pg=PA227|title=History of Ancient India: Earliest Times to 1000 A.

Tamil royal dynasties in this period are known to have patronized Tamil Saivite culture in the east that paralleled the growth of the community in the area, and by the 6th century, a special coastal route by boat was functioning to the [[Koneswaram temple]] of [[Trincomalee]] and [[Thirukkovil Sithira Velayutha Swami Kovil]] in [[Batticaloa]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R1VuAAAAMAAJ&q=Early+settlements+in+northern+Sri+lanka|title=Early settlements in northern Sri Lanka|last=Ismail|first=Marina|date=1995-01-01|publisher=Navrang|isbn=9788170131373|language=en}}</ref>

===Medieval period===

The 12th century saw the rise of a significant [[Tamil Hindus|Tamil Hindu]] social formation in the [[Jaffna Peninsula]], with the [[Jaffna kingdom]].<ref>de Silva, A ''History of Sri Lanka'', p.132</ref> Established as a powerful force in the north, north east and west of the island, it eventually became a tributary fief of the [[Pandyan Empire]] in modern [[South India]] in 1258, gaining independence in 1323 with the fragmentation of Pandyan control.<ref name="DS91">de Silva, A ''History of Sri Lanka'', p.91-92</ref><ref name="PP">Peebles, ''History of Sri Lanka'', p.31-32</ref>

By the 11th and 12th centuries AD the upper half of the eastern province had a large Tamil community.<ref>de Silva, A ''History of Sri Lanka'', p.131</ref> Eastern Tamils had feudal organizations that centred around [[Ur Podiyar]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uthr.org/Reports/Report8/chapter3.htm#b|title=Welcome to UTHRJ: Report 8, Chapter 3|access-date=9 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150714003942/http://www.uthr.org/Reports/Report8/chapter3.htm#b|archive-date=14 July 2015|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> at a village level and the [[Kudi system]] that controlled social interactions. They also were organised politically as [[Vannimai]] chiefs<ref>McGilvray, ''Mukkuvar Vannimai: Tamil Caste and Matriclan Ideology in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka'', p.34-97</ref> who came nominally under the [[kingdom of Kandy]]. The most important social group were the [[Mukkuvar]], who had originated from [[South India]] and had repeatedly invaded [[Sri Lanka]] as evidenced by Sinhalese literature of that period, the ''[[Kokila Sandeśa]]'' and ''[[Mukkara Hatana]]''. One of the local traditions that records the landing and settling of eastern Sri Lanka is called ''[[Mattakallappu Manmiyam]]'' ({{langx|ta|மட்டக்களப்பு மான்மியம்}}).<ref name="p20">Subramaniam, ''Folk traditionas and Songs...'', p.20</ref>

Among the medieval [[Vannimai|Vanni]] chieftaincies, those of Panankamam, Melpattu, Mulliyavalai, Karunavalpattu, Karrikattumulai and Tennamaravadi in the north of the island were incorporated into the Jaffna kingdom. The chieftaincy in Trincomalee was at times incorporated into the northern kingdom. Hence Vannimais just south of the Jaffna peninsula and in the eastern Trincomalee district usually paid an annual tribute to the Jaffna kingdom instead of taxes. The tribute was in cash, grains, honey, elephants, and ivory.

The [[Federal Party (Sri Lanka)]] (FP) became the most dominant Tamil political party in 1956 and lobbied for a federal state which gave the Tamils and Sinhalese equal rights, including recognition of two official languages (Tamil and Sinhala) and considerable autonomy for the Tamil areas.<ref>Wilson, A.J.

In the 1970 election the United Front (UF) led by [[Sirimavo Bandaranaike]] came into power. The new government adopted two new policies that were considered discriminatory by the Tamil people.<ref name="Wilson, A.J. p.102-103">Wilson, A.J. ''Sri Lankan Tamil Nationalism: Its Origins and Development in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries'', p.102-103</ref> First, the government introduced a discriminatory system regulating university admissions, specifically targeted at reducing the intake of overachieving Tamils and other minorities in the Sri Lankan educational system. The scheme allotted up to 40% of the university placement to rural youth (primarily from Sinhalese areas). The government claimed that this was an [[affirmative action]] scheme to assist geographically disadvantaged students to gain tertiary education. According to [[K. M. de Silva]], a historian, the system of standardisation of marks required the Tamil students to achieve higher marks than the Sinhalese students to get into university.<ref name=Stokke2000/><ref name=De1984>{{cite journal

This resolution charged that the Sinhalese government, with the use of the constitution of 1972, had used its power to "deprive the Tamil nation of its territory, language, citizenship, economic life, opportunities of employment and education thereby destroying all the attributes of nationhood of the Tamil people." The resolution further called for the "Free, Sovereign, Secular Socialist State of TAMIL EELAM".<ref name=Pfaffenberger1981>{{cite journal

The District Development Councils scheme was based, to some extent, on decentralization of the government within a united Sri Lanka.

==Geography==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2020}}
[[File:Batticaloa Lighthouse (view from above).jpg|thumb|200 px|[[Batticaloa Lagoon]], an estuarine lagoon in [[Eastern Province, Sri Lanka|Eastern province]]]]
[[File:Flying Kite In Ocean.jpg|thumb|200 px|The Bay of Bengal at [[Point Pedro]], [[Northern Province, Sri Lanka|Northern province]], the northernmost point of the island]]
Historically, Tamil settlements had been established in the dry semi-arid territories of the island. The region is subdivided into three sections, the North, the East where the majority of the native Tamils live, and the northern part of the Puthalam district which had a large Tamil influence in the pre-colonial times.

===North===
The Northern province is 22 miles (35 km) south of the Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. The [[Adam's Bridge]] (Sethu Bridge) is located between the waters of the Mannar islet and the Indian mainland. The North is surrounded by the [[Gulf of Mannar]] and Palk Bay to the west, [[Palk Strait]] to the north, the [[Bay of Bengal]] to the east and the Eastern, North Central and North Western provinces to the south. It has a total area of 8,884 square kilometers (3,430.1 sq mi).

It is divided into two distinct geographic areas: [[Jaffna peninsula]] and the central [[Vanni region]].

The Jaffna peninsula has a number of bays and lagoons along its coastline and much of the coast consists of sandy beaches. A chain of both inhabited and uninhabited islands are also found along the Jaffna peninsula.

The sparsely populated Vanni region is covered in tropical forests with numerous rivers flowing through them, making agriculture and forestry the primary industry in the area. The dry-land forests house rare species of trees, such as the satinwood, ebony, ironwood, and mahogany.

===East===
The Eastern part of the Tamil Eelam has an area of 9,996 square kilometers (3,859.5 sq mi). The Area is surrounded by land to the north, the Bay of Bengal to the east, and the central highlands to its west, south and southwest.

The Eastern coast is dominated by lagoons, the largest being the [[Batticaloa Lagoon]], [[Kokkilai Lagoon]], [[Upaar Lagoon]] and [[Ullackalie Lagoon]]s.

Much of the coastline has a number of inlets from the sea, making them excellent inland ports and fishing harbours. The East has a rich biodiversity and is the natural habitat to many species.

==Political divisions and demographics==
[[File:Firewood selling, Batticaloa.JPG|200 px|thumb|Fire-wood sellers in Batticaloa district]]

Following the declaration of independence, which saw large scale movements of people in search of better economic opportunities, and the [[Sri Lankan state sponsored colonisation schemes|state sponsored Sinhalese colonization]] of Tamil territories, the demographics of the North and East had been heavily altered.

The three decade long [[Civil war]] that followed the anti-Tamil policies further affected the North and the East with over 80,000–100,000 people estimated to have been killed and over 400,000 Tamils fleeing their homes. Many people still live in IDP camps in the North and the East and the present-day demographics of the region has been changing due to more and more [[Sri Lankan state-sponsored colonisation schemes|Sinhalese settling in these territories]].

Large changes in the demographics of the Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Muslims also occurred during the war. In 1987, widespread [[1987 Eastern Province massacres|anti-Sinhalese violence]] caused 20,000 Sinhalese to flee the Eastern Province, although they were later resettled.<ref name="rubin">{{cite book |last1=Rubin |first1=Barnett |title=Cycles of Violence: Human Rights in Sri Lanka Since the Indo-Sri Lanka Agreement |publisher=Human Rights Watch |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=b7F-dUh5_j8C&pg=PA52 |access-date=8 December 2018|isbn=9780938579434 |year=1987 }}</ref> In 1990, the LTTE [[Expulsion of Muslims from the Northern province by LTTE|expelled]] 72,000 Muslims from the Northern Province.<ref>Amnesty International, Sri Lanka: The Northeast: Human rights violations in a context of armed conflict

===Pongu Tamil===
''Pongu Tamil'' (or Tamil Uprising) (பொங்குதமிழ்) is an event that is held in support of "Tamils’ Right to Self-Determination" and "Tamil traditional homeland". Pongu Tamil was first organized in [[Jaffna]] in January 2001 by students of the [[University of Jaffna]]. The event was organized in response to alleged [[White Van Abductions in Sri Lanka|disappearances]], [[Mass grave|mass graves]] and abuses under the government's military rule and was designed to be a peaceful protest. The event attracted between 4000 and 5000 students amid the event being banned in Jaffna, an area controlled by the Sri Lankan Army, and allegations of intimidation and death threats by the police.<ref name="Orjuela2003">{{cite journal

===Tamil National Alliance's manifestos===
{{unreferenced section|date=June 2012}}

The [[Tamil National Alliance]] stands on a platform for Tamil aspirations of self-determination and equality, having won at elections held in the north and east. The alliance is the largest Tamil political party in Sri Lanka. It has had two manifestos since 2001. The policies are based on what is known as the Thimpu principles amongst Tamil nationalists. They are

*Recognition of the Tamils of Sri Lanka as a distinct nationality.
*Recognition of an identified Tamil homeland and guarantee of its territorial integrity.
*Based on the above, recognition of the inalienable right of self-determination of the Tamil nation.
*Recognition of the right to full citizenship and other fundamental democratic rights of all Tamils who look upon the island as their country.'

Further the alliance stands for:

*The immediate lifting of the economic embargo currently in force in parts of the northeast province
*The withdrawal of the residential and travel restrictions foisted on the Tamil nationality
*The immediate cessation of the war being currently waged in the northeast

Three of its sitting Members of the Parliament K. Sivanesan, Joseph Pararajasingham and Nadarajah Raviraj have been assassinated since 2006, which the TNA party blames on the Sri Lankan Government's army and paramilitary forces.

===LTTE's Interim Self Governing Authority===
{{Main|Interim Self Governing Authority}}
On 31 October 2003 during the peace talks, with the [[ceasefire]] still holding, the LTTE issued their proposals for an ISGA. The ISGA would have broad powers such the right to impose the rule of law, collect taxes, run the administration and oversee the rehabilitation process in the north and east, and it would be controlled by the LTTE until elections were held. Crucially however, the LTTE had dropped their demand for an independent Tamil Eelam in favour of regional [[autonomy]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3239303.stm|title=BBC NEWS - South Asia - Sri Lanka thrown into political crisis|access-date=9 April 2015|date=2003-11-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040501130737/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3239303.stm|archive-date=1 May 2004|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The key points of the LTTE's proposals are:<ref>{{cite news|title=Full text: Tamil Tiger proposals|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3232913.stm|newspaper=[[BBC News]]|date=1 November 2003|access-date=16 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014125535/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3232913.stm|archive-date=14 October 2007|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=THE PROPOSAL BY THE LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM ON BEHALF OF THE TAMIL PEOPLE FOR AN AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH AN INTERIM SELF-GOVERNING AUTHORITY FOR THE NORTHEAST OF THE ISLAND OF SRI LANKA|url=http://www.tamilnet.com/img/publish/2003/11/proposal.pdf|publisher=LTTE Peace Secretariat via [[TamilNet]]|access-date=16 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105041202/http://www.tamilnet.com/img/publish/2003/11/proposal.pdf|archive-date=5 November 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

*An ISGA will established for the eight [[Districts of Sri Lanka|districts]] and in the [[Northern Province, Sri Lanka|Northern]] and [[Eastern Province, Sri Lanka|Eastern]] provinces until a final negotiated settlement is reached and implemented.

*Land occupied by the [[Sri Lanka Armed Forces|armed forces]] of the GOSL must be immediately vacated and restored to the possession of the previous owners. The GOSL must also [[Compensation (nationalization)|compensate]] the owners for the past [[Eviction|dispossession]] of their land.
*The ISGA shall be responsible for the resettlement and rehabilitation of [[Displaced person|displaced civilians]] and [[refugees]] in such lands.
*The ISGA shall have control over the [[marine (ocean)|marine]] and offshore resources of the adjacent seas and the power to regulate access thereto.

*All future agreements concerning matters under the [[jurisdiction]] of the ISGA shall be made with the ISGA.

International reaction to the LTTE's proposals was generally positive. US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage gave a cautious welcome, saying that the proposal is "the first time I have seen such a comprehensive delineation of the aspirations of the LTTE...it is significant". The European Union's Head of Mission in Colombo welcomed the proposals as an "important step forward in the peace process".<ref>{{cite news|title=EU says Tamil Tiger proposals important step in peace bid|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2003-11-02/eu-says-tamil-tiger-proposals-important-step-in/1502816|newspaper=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|date=2 November 2003|access-date=16 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203063650/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2003-11-02/eu-says-tamil-tiger-proposals-important-step-in/1502816|archive-date=3 February 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Sri Lankan reaction was mixed. The GOSL reacted by stating that the proposal "differs in fundamental respects from the proposals submitted by the GOSL. The GOSL is convinced that the way forward lies through direct discussion of the issues arising from both sets of proposals". The Tamil National Alliance (TNA), the main political party representing Eelam Tamils, welcomed the proposals positively. R. Sampanthan, leader of the TNA, said "The ISGA proposal...bears historical importance in the political history of Tamils in the island. The ISGA provides a base to find a permanent political solution to the Tamil national question".<ref>{{cite news|title=Sampanthan to address seminar on ISGA|url=http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=10328|newspaper=[[TamilNet]]|date=2 November 2003|access-date=16 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120417081659/http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=10328|archive-date=17 April 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

===Support for Tamil Eelam===

====Sri Lanka====
The main pledge made by the [[Tamil United Liberation Front]] (TULF) in its [[manifesto]] for the [[1977 Sri Lankan parliamentary election|1977 parliamentary election]] was "''to establish an independent sovereign, secular, socialist State of Tamil Eelam...''".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tamilnation.org/selfdetermination/tamileelam/7707tulfmanifesto.htm|title=Tamil United Liberation Front General Election Manifesto, July 1977|publisher=Tamil Nation|access-date=18 December 2009}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> The TULF won all 14 seats in the [[Northern Province, Sri Lanka|Northern Province]] after receiving more than 278,000 votes (68%). In the [[Eastern Province, Sri Lanka|Eastern Province]] the TULF won 4 of 10 seats after receiving nearly 140,000 votes (32%). Eelam Tamils constituted 92% and 43% of the population in each of the provinces respectively.

In March 2010 the [[Tamil National Alliance]] (TNA), the largest political group representing the Eelam Tamils, dropped its demands for an independent Tamil Eelam but continues to demand greater autonomy through [[federalism]].<ref>[http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2010/03/2010313215127841206.html Tamils give up on independence – Central & South Asia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315104902/http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2010/03/2010313215127841206.html |date=15 March 2010 }}.

The Sixth Amendment to the [[Constitution of Sri Lanka]] prohibits violation of territorial integrity of the island nation, outlawing any advocation of Tamil Eelam as a separate nation.

====Tamil referendums====
{{Main|Tamil Eelam independence referendums, 2009-2010}}
During 2009–2010 a number of referendums were held in Eelam Tamil diaspora communities to ascertain support for an independent Tamil Eelam, despite attempts by the Sri Lankan government and its supporters to prevent them.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=30775|title=France goes for referendum on Tamil Eelam this weekend|date=11 December 2009|publisher=[[TamilNet]]|access-date=20 December 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091214021434/http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=30775|archive-date=14 December 2009|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The referendums, although organised by Tamil groups, have been conducted by independent organisations with independent observers.

"''I aspire for the formation of the independent and sovereign state of Tamil Eelam in the north and east territory of the island of Sri Lanka on the basis that the Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka make a distinct nation, have a traditional homeland and have the right to self-determination''."

To date referendums have been held in ten countries ([[Norway]], France, Canada, [[Switzerland]], Germany, [[Netherlands]], United Kingdom, [[Denmark]], Italy and Australia). Referendums were expected be held in other countries with significant Tamil diaspora population.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=30548|title=Eezham Tamil mandate picks up global momentum|date=3 November 2009|publisher=[[TamilNet]]|access-date=18 December 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091231143623/http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=30548|archive-date=31 December 2009|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

A survey in late 2008 by the [[Tamil Nadu]] weekly ''[[Ananda Vikatan]]'' found 55.4% of Indian Tamils in the state supported the separation of Tamil Eelam, while 34.63% supported a federal Tamil Eelam.

Notable supporters of independence include politicians [[Vaiko]], [[Thol Thirumavalavan]] and [[Nedumaran]]. Directors [[Bharathiraja]], [[Seeman]] and [[Ameer Sultan]] are strong advocates of the independence of Tamil Eelam. [[K.

In April 2012 DMK president [[Karunanidhi|M. Karunanidhi]] said that India should prevail upon the United Nations to help carve out a separate Tamil Eelam from Sinhalese-dominated Sri Lanka. Raising the issue in the [[Lok Sabha]] during zero hour, DMK leader T.R. Baalu said tyranny in the Tamil areas was continuing and Sinhalese army men were roaming around Tamil habitats in Sri Lanka and "thousands of people have been kept behind barbed wire fences."

I offered a loosening up of the system. He said: "Clean cut, go your way". Had we stayed in, and I look at Colombo and Ceylon, I mean changing names, sometimes maybe you deceive the gods, but I don't think you are deceiving the people who live in them. It makes no great difference to the tragedy that is being enacted. They failed because they had weak or wrong leaders."<ref>{{cite book | last = Fook Kwag | first = Han |author2=Warren Fernandez |author3=Sumiko Tan | title = Lee Kuan Yew – The Man and his Ideas | publisher = Times Editions| year = 1998 | isbn=978-981-204-049-7}}</ref>}}

Scholar and activist [[Noam Chomsky]], in a February 2009 interview, said of the Tamil Eelam struggle: "Parts of Europe, for example, are moving towards more federal arrangements. In Spain, for example, Catalonia by now has a high degree of autonomy within the Spanish state. The Basque Country also has a high degree of autonomy. In England, Wales and Scotland in the United Kingdom are moving towards a form of autonomy and self-determination and I think there are similar developments throughout Europe. Though they're mixed with a lot of pros and cons, but by and large I think it is a generally healthy development. I mean, the people have different interests, different cultural backgrounds, different concerns, and there should be special arrangements to allow them to pursue their special interests and concerns in harmony with others."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2009/feb/19noam-chomsky-talks-on-lanka-ltte-obama-and-bush.htm|title=What Noam Chomsky says about Lankan conflict|access-date=9 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924160325/http://www.rediff.com/news/2009/feb/19noam-chomsky-talks-on-lanka-ltte-obama-and-bush.htm|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In a September 2009 submitted Sri Lankan Crisis Statement, Chomsky was one of several signatories calling for full access to internment camps holding Tamils, the respect of international law concerning prisoners of war and media freedom, the condemnation of discrimination against Tamils by the state since independence from Britain, and to urge the international community to support and facilitate a political solution that addresses the self-determination aspirations of Tamils and protection of the human rights of all Sri Lankans.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fastuntoaction.wordpress.com/sri-lanka-crisis-statement-of-support/|title=SLCS signed by Noam Chomsky|work=Australians for Tamil Justice|access-date=9 April 2015|date=2009-05-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017133720/http://fastuntoaction.wordpress.com/sri-lanka-crisis-statement-of-support/|archive-date=17 October 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> A major offensive against the Tamils in the Vanni region of their homeland in 2009 resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 Tamil civilians in 5 months, amid widespread concerns war crimes were committed against the Tamil population.

<blockquote>..."What happened in Sri Lanka was a major Rwanda-like atrocity, in a different scale, where the West didn't care. There was plenty of early warning.

'''Assis João Avelino Afonso''' (1898 – unknown), known [[mononymously]] as '''Affonceka''', was a [[Goan]] theatre actor, playwright, and [[theatre director]] known for his work in ''[[tiatr]]'' productions. From the 1920s to the 1940s, he played a pivotal role in the development and progress of [[Konkani language|Konkani]] ''tiatr''.

==Early life==
Assis João Avelino Afonso was born in 1898 in Corjuem,<ref name=":3" /> a village located in [[Aldona]], [[Goa]], which was under [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese rule]] as part of [[Portuguese India]] at the time (now part of India). He was raised in the village of [[Marcel, Goa]], which had evolved into a [[census town]].<ref name=":2" />

==Career==
Afonso made his debut in the theatrical scene in 1920, appearing in a ''[[tiatr]]'' titled ''Maurice ani Juliana vo A Real Love Story''. This ''tiatr'', written by [[Rama (playwright)|Rama]] and directed by Rama's wife, marked Afonso's first role as Ramis, the servant. [[Konkani language|Konkani]] historian and singer [[Wilson Mazarello]] writes, despite the limited nature of his part, Afonso's performance left an impact on the audience, garnering recognition for his potential as an actor.<ref name=":1" /> Following his debut, Afonso was offered the role of [[Iago]] in a Konkani adaptation of [[Shakespeare]]'s<ref name=":2" /> play ''[[Othello]]''.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |date=2016-12-07 |title=Saluting those who forged ahead with a purpose in the tiatr world |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/saluting-those-who-forged-ahead-with-a-purpose-in-the-tiatr-world/articleshow/55842978.cms |access-date=2024-02-07 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=2022-09-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220925223335/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/saluting-those-who-forged-ahead-with-a-purpose-in-the-tiatr-world/articleshow/55842978.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Mazarello further writes, demonstrating his talent and ability, Afonso excelled in this role. Subsequently, he accepted roles in ''tiatrs'' crafted by popular playwrights and directors.<ref name=":1" /> Initially, Afonso became associated with the Marcela Principal Dramatic Company, which later transformed into the Star Principal Dramatic Company.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |title=100 Years of Konkani Tiatro |date=2000 |publisher=Government of Goa, Directorate of Art & Culture |pages=37, 76–77 |language=en |access-date=2024-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240107200151/https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |archive-date=2024-01-07 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In due course, Afonso established his own [[theatrical company]], named the Star Affonceka Dramatic Company. In 1924, he ventured into playwriting with his inaugural ''tiatr'', ''Lawrie Ani Merina'', which enjoyed success during its performance at the Gaiety Theatre in [[Bombay]]. The production attracted a full house, resulting in many individuals being unable to secure tickets. One of Afonso's most acclaimed ''tiatrs'' was ''Anjelin Bombainchi Puzadkarn'', featuring notable cast members such as [[Miss Carlota]], who made her debut in a leading role on the Konkani stage. Carlota's portrayal opposite Anthony Tooloo, a popular artist of the time, further propelled her into the limelight. Afonso's reputation as a theatrical director continued to flourish,<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |title=TIATR 125th Anniversary Commemorative Volume |publisher=[[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] |year=2019 |location=[[Panaji, Goa]] |pages=8–9}}</ref> and he went on to pen several more ''tiatrs'', including ''Lisboachem Sopon'' (Dream of [[Lisbon]]), ''Xins Guilbertachem'' (Disciples of Guilbert), ''Ibonez Ani Yoanda'', ''Imperador Nero Vo Nimnno Caesar Patxai Romancho'' ([[Emperor Nero]] or Final Emperor of Rome Caesar), and ''Anjelin Bombainchi Puzadkarn''. Afonso is best known for his portrayal of Judge Gerald in J. P. Souzalin's theatrical production ''Bhott Ailolo Pomburpechea Festak'' ([[Hindu priest]]'s arrival at [[Pomburpa]]'s feast).<ref name=":0" />

==Legacy==
Afonso was commemorated at the ''Somplelea Tiatristancho Ugddas'' monthly program organized by the [[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] (TAG) on various dates, including 12 January 2012,<ref>{{Cite news |date=2012-01-08 |title=TAG's 'Somplelea Tiatristancho Ugddas' programme |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/mando-festival-at-curchorem/articleshow/11407323.cms?_gl=1*1tr6n9w*_ga*YW1wLVZSa1JjbUZONEdOWklrVTRJWGFieHZrbk93cUkzVHgtSENVYzdRX1FnczUzeU1fbzExekVfemw5Q04zRkJ5TF8.*_ga_FCN624MN68*MTcwNzMxODg4NS4xMjkuMC4xNzA3MzE4ODg1LjAuMC4w#_ga=2.63217324.2096897922.1707225571-amp-VRkRcmFN4GNZIkU4IXabxvknOwqI3Tx-HCUc7Q_Qgs53yM_o11zE_zl9CN3FByL_ |access-date=2024-02-07 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> 30 January 2015,<ref name=":3">{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2015-01-29 |title=Remembering Tiatr artistes of yesteryears |work= [[The Navhind Times]] |url=https://www.navhindtimes.in/2015/01/29/magazines/buzz/remembering-tiatr-artistes-of-yesteryears/ |access-date=2024-02-07 |language=en-US}}</ref> 23 January 2018, and 29 January 2020.<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2020-02-02 |title=Late tiatr artistes remembered |work= [[The Navhind Times]] |url=https://www.navhindtimes.in/2020/02/02/magazines/buzz/late-tiatr-artistes-remembered-5/ |access-date=2024-02-07 |language=en-US}}</ref> These events took place at different venues, such as TAG's Conference Hall at [[Campal|Campal Trade Centre]] in [[Panaji]] and the Black Box at Ravindra Bhavan in [[Margao]].

'''''Yevadu''''' ({{translation|Who is he?}}) is a 2014 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[action thriller film]] co-written and directed by [[Vamsi Paidipally]].

Sai Kumar|Sai Kumar]], [[Rahul Dev]] and [[Brahmanandam]] play supporting roles. The film was produced by [[Dil Raju]] under the banner [[Sri Venkateswara Creations]]. [[Devi Sri Prasad]] composed the film's music, while [[Marthand K. Venkatesh]] was the film's editor. [[Vakkantham Vamsi]] co-wrote the film's script with Paidipally.

The core plot was partially inspired by [[John Woo]]'s 1997 American film ''[[Face/Off]]'', and revolves around two strangers, Satya and Charan. The film was made on a budget of {{INR}}35 crore, and was officially launched on 9 December 2011. [[Principal photography]] began on 27 April 2012 and lasted until 22 July 2013. The majority of the film was shot in [[Visakhapatnam]] and [[Hyderabad]], mostly in [[Ramoji Film City]], while two songs were shot in [[Switzerland]] and [[Bangkok]].

''Yevadu'' was released on 12 January 2014 during the festival of [[Sankranthi]] after several delays. The film received positive reviews from critics, and was commercially successful grossing over ₹89 crore at the box office and collecting a distributor's share of ₹47.1 crore,<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 February 2014 |title=Yevadu Final Total Collections |url=http://andhraboxoffice.com/info.aspx?id=558&cid=6&fid=631 |access-date=1 May 2025 |website=Andhraboxoffice}}</ref> becoming one of the [[List of Telugu films of 2014#Box office|highest grossing Telugu films of 2014]] as well as one the [[Highest grossing Telugu films|highest-grossing Telugu films of all time]] at the time of its release.

== Plot ==
Young couples Satya and Deepthi, living in [[Visakhapatnam]], are in a threat, after a dreaded don named Veeru Bhai lusts Deepthi. Upon their parents' suggestion, Deepthi and Satya escape and board a bus to [[Hyderabad]], but the bus is stopped unexpectedly and boarded by Veeru's right hand man Deva, Veeru's brother Ajay and his henchman [[police inspector|Inspector]] Sravan. Deva slits Deepthi's throat and killed her in front of Satya, and fatally stabs Satya. Before the three leave, they set fire to the bus, leaving Satya to his death.

However, Dr. Sailaja saves Satya by [[face transplant|transplanting a new face]], which bring a new life, along with a new face and skin. 10 months later, Satya awakes from his coma, which shocks him as he has a different face. Under the [[pseudonym]] as Ram, Satya returns to Visakhapatnam where he meets a model named Sruthi, whom Veeru lusts now. Befriending Sruthi, he takes advantage of his new unknown face, and lures Deva to a under-constructed apartment where Satya kills him. A photo of Deva is discovered by [[Assistant commissioner|ACP]] Ashok Varma, which has been marked as ''1''.

Ram files a report on Deepthi with the police, stating that she has been missing for ten days. Since Sravan knows that Deepthi was killed ten months earlier, he becomes suspicious of Ram and follows him to a mall, where Satya kills him. During the investigation on Sravan's death, Ram presents himself to Varma as an eyewitness. When asked to provide a description of the killer, Ram describes his former face. Ram then manipulates Ajay to fall for Sruthi.

Ram sends some compromising pictures of Ajay and Sruthi to Veeru. Ram then convinces Ajay that the only way for him to be with Sruthi and free from Veeru's ire is to kill him, which would also allow Ajay to gain his brother's position. However, Veeru's henchmen kill Ajay and later Veeru gets killed by Ram after revealing his true identity. He apologizes to Sruthi for using her and departs from Visakhapatnam. On the way, a mysterious person named Raja attacks Satya, but is later killed. Suspecting that the attack might have something to do with his new face, Satya visits Dr. Sailaja. When they meet, Sailaja confesses that she has given Satya the face of her deceased son, Charan; she then goes on to explain the circumstances surrounding Charan's death.

'''Past''': Charan is a happy-go-lucky rich graduate who hangs out with his friends and girlfriend Manju. One of his friends, Shashank, questions the local don, Dharma, regarding his illegal acquisition of lands by exploiting the neighbourhood. Threatened, Dharma kills Shashank, after which Charan begins to raise support among the local population to revolt against Dharma. Again threatened, Dharma approaches another one of Charan's friends, Sharath, promising to establish his [[politics|political career]] if he kills Charan.

Charan and Sharath go to Visakhapatnam to attend a wedding. On their return, they board the same bus as Satya and Deepthi. When the bus was stopped, Sharath pulls a knife on Charan and the two engage in a fight. Veeru's men simultaneously enter the bus. Deepthi is killed inside the bus while Charan and Sharath's struggle has led them outside the bus, where Charan is stabbed to death. Charan's body is sent to Sailaja, who after observing Satya's urge to live decides to transplant her son's face onto Satya, rather than simple plastic surgery. Before Sailaja could inform Satya about Charan, Satya had left the hospital.

'''Present''': Leaving Sailaja, Satya visits the neighbourhood, under the guise of Charan. After meeting the locals, he decides to avenge Charan's death. First, he meets Sharath in a political meeting, using the shock of Charan seemingly being alive, makes him kill Dharma. Satya makes the slum people follow Sharath to Dharma's house. Sharath stabs Dharma, who in turn kills Sharath. However, the villagers followed by Satya, teamup and kills Dharma. Later, Satya meets Manju as Charan.

S. Rajamouli]].<ref name="BM Review" /><ref name="Sify Review" /> While critic Sangeetha Devi Dundoo called the film a combination of ''Face/Off'' and ''Vikramarkudu'',<ref name="TH review" /> another critic, Karthik Pasupulate, wrote, "This movie this isn't a rip off of ''Face/Off''. We don't have filmmakers who have the required creativity and technical know how to make half decent adaptation of that 1997 action thriller.

=== Critical response ===
According to ''[[International Business Times|International Business Times India]]'', the film received "decent feedback" from critics.{{cn needed|date=September 2025}}

Y. Sunita Chowdary of ''[[The Hindu]]'' felt that the film was made only for the mass audience. She criticised the film's revenge sequences, calling them "non-stop and prolonged" but praised Devi Sri Prasad's music and C. Ram Prasad's cinematography.<ref name="TH review">{{Cite news |last=Sunita Chowdary |first=Y. |date=13 January 2014 |title=Yevadu: Tailored for the masses |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/yevadu-tailored-for-the-masses/article5573569.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108065747/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/yevadu-tailored-for-the-masses/article5573569.ece |archive-date=8 January 2015 |access-date=8 January 2015 |work=The Hindu}}</ref> Sridhar Vivan of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "For those watching ''Yevadu'', the first half ends quite shockingly as the director tries to wrap up the movie in the first leg itself. It is a treat for Cherry's fans and for others, it's strictly average stuff". He felt that the violence, lack of comedy and a predictable turn of events affected the film's narration.<ref name="BM Review">{{Cite web |last=Vivan |first=Sridhar |date=12 January 2014 |title=Movie review: Yevadu |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-review-Yevadu/articleshow/28712349.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108065744/http://www.bangaloremirror.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-review-Yevadu/articleshow/28712349.cms |archive-date=8 January 2015 |access-date=8 January 2015 |publisher=[[Bangalore Mirror]]}}</ref>

''[[Sify]]'' also rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "''Yevadu'' provides novelty in the beginning episodes promising a different commercial film but ends up as a regular revenge drama. Has many clichéd moments but it is also a film that works to some extent. A masala fare".<ref name="Sify Review">{{Cite web |date=12 January 2014 |title=Movie Review — Yevadu |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/yevadu-review-telugu-15047079.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150108070117/http://www.sify.com/movies/yevadu-review-telugu-15047079.html |archive-date=8 January 2015 |access-date=8 January 2015 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref>

Karthik Pasupulate of ''[[The Times of India]]'' was yet another to rate the film 3 out of 5, but he criticised its blatant similarities to ''Face/Off''.

'''Rudraksh''' is a 2004 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[science fantasy]] [[action film]] directed by [[Mani Shankar]]. The film stars [[Sanjay Dutt]], [[Suniel Shetty]], [[Bipasha Basu]], [[Isha Koppikar]] and [[Kabir Bedi]]. The film has many references to the epic poem [[Ramayana]] ("The Path of Rāma"). The film released on 13 February 2004 to negative reviews by critics and was declared as a disaster at the box office.

==Plot==
Dr. Gayatri Singh is an Indian American [[paranormal researcher]] at the [[University of California]], researching esoteric practices such as voodoo, spirit possession, magic, and healing powers. She seeks the hidden knowledge that goes into such practices, the knowledge that cannot be explained by science or logic.

Her search for answers brings her and her team of scientists to India. She comes across Varun Bhushan, a man who is gifted with special intuitive and healing powers, which he claims to have developed through meditation. He is a blend of Indian philosophy and modern culture, a master at martial arts, and a devotee of [[Hanuman]]. He worships and trains by day while working as a [[Bouncer (doorman)|bouncer]] at a club by night. Gayatri is immediately impressed by Varun's powers to take away pain and disease from people and cure them. He becomes the subject of her study.

After a few experiments by Gayatri, Varun has an insight into the existence of a hidden dark power. He explains that the force is linked to [[Ravana]]'s Rudraksha, which is hidden away from the world. This is not a normal [[Rudraksh]]; it carries in its seed the powers that can transmute humans into new species. The bearer of this Rudraksha will have supernatural powers beyond imagination. In the language of science, it is a 'multi-dimensional hologram' in the form of a seed. Meanwhile, Bhuria mentally communicates with Varun, so they can share their abilities since neither of them can utilize the full power of the Rudraksha alone. Varun refuses, but Bhuria continues his attempts to join their powers and manipulate Varun.

Gayatri finds a set of strange words that cause changes in people when spoken. She tests the effects of those sounds on a rat and notices strange mutations and changes in the functioning of the rat's body. Gayatri's research assistant Suzy hears those sounds directly, becomes possessed, and starts working for Bhuria. Suzy tries to kill Gayatri, but Varun overpowers her and saves her, after which Suzy dies while trying to escape.

Varun and Gayatri thus set out to discover this Rudraksha, the reality of Bhuria Kumar, and find certain answers for Varun. Their perilous journey leaves through the most rugged terrains of the Himalayas to the mysterious ruins of the legendary King Ravana's palaces in Yala, Sri Lanka.

He thus finds how Bhuria Kumar, a poor but wild and arrogant labor contractor in the excavation team of the Rudraksha, transformed into a powerful Rakshasha and possessor of supernatural powers, that the words spoken by the madman were an ancient verse, a Rakshasha mantra, and that the real aim of Bhuria Kumar is to use the Rudraksha and Rakshasha mantra for spreading evil and hatred in the world, thus effectively restoring the rule of rakshashas once more.

Thus, once more, it becomes a battle of good vs. evil, where either must overcome the other. End of the day, the fear-maker monsters are always unliked.

==Reception==

=== Critical response ===
''Rudraksh'' opened to a negative reception by critics. [[Taran Adarsh]] of [[IndiaFM]] rated the film 1.5 out of 5, stating, "Rudraksh rests on Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty's shoulders and both enact their parts with utmost sincerity. Dutt seems to be enjoying his work and it shows on screen. Shetty too is up to the mark. The get-ups of both Dutt and Shetty would also be appreciated. Bipasha Basu does an okay job, while Isha Koppikar leaves an impression in a negative role. Kabir Bedi is alright. Nigar Khan sizzles in the dance track. On the whole, Rudraksh proves the adage 'All that glitters is not gold' absolutely right. The film has gloss, no soul, which will take a toll on its overall business."<ref>{{cite web |last=Adarsh |first=Taran |author-link=Taran Adarsh |date=13 February 2004 |title=Rudraksh Movie Review |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/rudraksh/critic-review/rudraksh-movie-review/ |website=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |access-date=12 September 2025}}</ref> [[Anupama Chopra]] of [[India Today]] wrote, "What has Mani Shankar been smoking?

Manish Gajjar of [[BBC.com]] wrote, "In trying to concentrate on the special effects, the director fails to pay any attention to the screenplay. This is reflected in the finished product. Overall, Rudraksh is a film which only entertains in parts. With a half baked screenplay, it would be interesting to see how it fares at the UK box office."<ref>{{cite news |last=Gajjar |first=Manish |date=13 February 2004 |title=Rudraksh |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/films/bollywood/2004/02/rudraksh.shtml |work=[[BBC Online]] |location=Shropshire |publisher=[[BBC]] |access-date=12 September 2025}}</ref> Ronjita Kulkarni of [[Rediff.com]] wrote, "Rudraksh seems too ambitious a film for the director. In his attempt to explore mythology and the supernatural, the director does not seem to have known what to focus on. The characters are half-baked and look silly. Dutt looks uncomfortable in some of his meditation scenes and fights. If this movie was supposed to have thrills, there are none."<ref>{{cite web |last=Kulkarni |first=Ronjita |date=13 February 2004|title=Bipasha's failed experiment |url=https://rediff.com/movies/2004/feb/13rudraksh.htm |website=[[Rediff.com]] |access-date=13 September 2025}}</ref>

=== Box office ===

'''''Sethupathi IPS''''' ({{IPAc-en|s|eɪ|θ|u|p|ə|θ|i}}) is a 1994 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[Political fiction|political]] [[action film]] written and directed by [[P. Vasu]], produced by [[AVM Productions]]. The film stars [[Vijayakanth]] and [[Meena (actress)|Meena]]. It deals with the story of a police officer who fights against terrorism. ''Sethupathi IPS'' was released on 14 January 1994, during [[Pongal (festival)|Pongal]], and became one of Vijayakanth's most successful films of the decade.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sundaram |first=Nandhu |date=19 July 2018 |title=Karuthamma, Nammavar, Kadhalan, Nattamai — Tamil cinema offered its best in the watershed year of 1994 |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/karuthamma-nammavar-kadhalan-nattamai-tamil-cinema-offered-its-best-in-the-watershed-year-of-1994-4775931.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817212007/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/karuthamma-nammavar-kadhalan-nattamai-tamil-cinema-offered-its-best-in-the-watershed-year-of-1994-4775931.html |archive-date=17 August 2018 |access-date=26 October 2021 |website=[[Firstpost]]}}</ref>

== Plot ==
Terrorism against India is escalated heavily by Indians trained abroad. Sethupathi IPS is a very efficient cop whose entire family has served the country at some time — his mother Satyabhama is an IAS Officer, his maternal grandfather was a soldier who got a medal for killing 200 enemies (a medal which Sethupathi secretly covets), and his father in law is an Inspector General of Police.

Sethupathi catches terrorist Sivasubramaniam in a hospital and coaxes him to reveal information that their gang is planning a terrorist strike on the Prime minister of India during his meeting with Chief Ministers of various states in Chennai. After divulging this information (owing to the kindness and pity shown by Sethupathi), the terrorist commits suicide with Sethupathi's gun. Using the information, Sethupathi is able to save the day and the Prime minister.

Sivasubramaniam's death leads to his brother Sivaprakasham arriving in India. Sivaprakasham is also the leader of this terrorist gang, and in addition to the terror strike the gang is planning to launch in India, he also plans to wipe out Sethupathi's family.

Moving opposite to Sethupathi's house, Sivaprakasam pretends to be a very nice man "Satyaprakasham" and manages to fool Sethupathi's mother, wife, sister, and grandfather and convinces all of them of his ''true intentions'' to such an extent that they agree to his engagement with their mute daughter Saraswathi. Sivaprakasam avoids Sethupathi and sees to it that during both the engagement and the wedding, Sethupathi is occupied so that he cannot come face to face with Sivaprakasam.

After the wedding, the Terrorists take over a school where Sethupathi's wife is a teacher and demands for a plane and money to take them abroad. Sivaprakasam brings his wife (Sethupathi's sister) and watches her get gang raped until Sethupathi's wife shoots her, unable to bear her suffering. Sivaprakasam also shoots a boy student of class v.

As the terrorists escape the school towards the plane and take off, Sethupathi has arrived after having killed one of their numbers, and disguising himself, he eliminates all of them, including Sivaprakasam and lands the plane safely (on instructions of the injured pilot).

The movie ends with Sethupathi receiving his coveted grandfather's medal.

During his exile, he decided to build a replica of [[Pashupatinath Temple]] in [[Varanasi]]. Construction of the temple commenced during his exile / stay in [[Varanasi]]. During the construction, Shah moved back to [[Nepal]]. On 25 April 1806, Rana Bahadur Shah was stabbed to death by his stepbrother, [[Sher Bahadur Shah]]. His son [[Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah Deva|Girvan Yuddha]] completed the project 20 years after the deadline. The land was later transferred to [[Rana Bahadur Shah]] by [[Kashi Naresh]] in the year 1843. The temple, adjacent area, [[Lalita Ghat]] and a [[Dharamshala (type of building)|dharamshala]], belongs to the [[Government of Nepal|Nepal government]].<ref name="Nepali Mandir"/><ref name="A piece of Nepal in Varanasi"/><ref name="This ghat of Goddess Lalita"/><ref name="Kathwala Temple"/><ref name="Information"/>

The mandir is made of [[terracotta]], stone and wood and took three decades to complete. The wood is [[termite]] proof. It is constructed in Nepali style of architecture and is surrounded by [[tamarind]] and [[ficus religiosa]] (peepal) trees. The temple has [[Pagoda]] style architecture, mainly carved out of wood. It has [[sculpture]]s similar to ones displayed in [[Khajuraho Group of Monuments]] and hence it is also called "Mini Khajuraho".<ref name="Nepali Mandir" /><ref name="A piece of Nepal in Varanasi" /><ref name="This ghat of Goddess Lalita" /><ref name="Kathwala Temple" /><ref name="Information" />

Ghosh has contributed to many areas of [[porphyrin]]-related research.

'''Computational bioinorganic chemistry.''' In the 1990s, Abhik reported some of the first large-scale ab initio and density functional theory calculations on porphyrins<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ghosh |first=Abhik |date=1998-04-01 |title=First-Principles Quantum Chemical Studies of Porphyrins |journal=Accounts of Chemical Research |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=189–198 |doi=10.1021/ar950033x |issn=0001-4842}}</ref> and other bioinorganic systems,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ghosh |first=Abhik |date=2006-09-01 |title=Transition metal spin state energetics and noninnocent systems: challenges for DFT in the bioinorganic arena |journal=Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry |language=en |volume=11 |issue=6 |pages=712–724 |doi=10.1007/s00775-006-0135-4 |issn=1432-1327 |pmid=16841211 |s2cid=22860795}}</ref> helping lay the foundation of the vibrant field of computational bioinorganic chemistry (or quantum bioinorganic chemistry). During this period, he shed light on the problem of diatomic ligand discrimination by heme proteins, debunking the then-prevalent steric model and emphasizing the key role of hydrogen bonding in the distal pocket. He also reported some of the first first-principles calculations on high-valent iron-oxo species.

'''Transition metal spin state energetics.''' In the 1990s, Abhik (partly in collaboration with Peter Taylor at the San Diego Supercomputer Center) showed that common exchange-correlation functionals yield highly divergent results on the energetics of low-energy spin states of transition metal complexes. He showed that classic pure functionals tend to unduly favor lower-spin states, while hybrid functionals such as B3LYP err in the other ditrections, favoring higher-spin states. Subsequently, he showed that GGA functionals based on the OPTX exchange functional sometimes provide a good solution to the problem, as does B3LYP* (with a lower proportion of exchange relative to B3LYP). However, a functional yielding the best spin state energetics does not necessarily yield the best results for other properties such as bond distances and spin densities.

'''Noninnocent ligands.''' He has had an abiding interest in the phenomenon of [[Non-innocent ligand|ligand noninnocence]]<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ganguly |first1=Sumit |last2=Ghosh |first2=Abhik |date=2019-06-21 |title=Seven Clues to Ligand Noninnocence: The Metallocorrole Paradigm |journal=Accounts of Chemical Research |volume=52 |issue=7 |pages=2003–2014 |doi=10.1021/acs.accounts.9b00115 |pmid=31243969 |s2cid=195695184 |issn=0001-4842}}</ref> and has contributed substantially to studying the phenomenon in transition metal corroles<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ghosh |first=Abhik |date=December 2022 |title=Corrole and squeezed coordination |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-022-01096-8 |journal=Nature Chemistry |language=en |volume=14 |issue=12 |pages=1474 |doi=10.1038/s41557-022-01096-8 |pmid=36376391 |bibcode=2022NatCh..14.1474G |s2cid=253522402 |issn=1755-4349|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Thomas |first1=Kolle E. |last2=Alemayehu |first2=Abraham B. |last3=Conradie |first3=Jeanet |last4=Beavers |first4=Christine M. |last5=Ghosh |first5=Abhik |date=2012-08-21 |title=The Structural Chemistry of Metallocorroles: Combined X-ray Crystallography and Quantum Chemistry Studies Afford Unique Insights |journal=Accounts of Chemical Research |volume=45 |issue=8 |pages=1203–1214 |doi=10.1021/ar200292d |pmid=22444488 |issn=0001-4842}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ghosh |first=Abhik |date=2017-02-22 |title=Electronic Structure of Corrole Derivatives: Insights from Molecular Structures, Spectroscopy, Electrochemistry, and Quantum Chemical Calculations |journal=Chemical Reviews |volume=117 |issue=4 |pages=3798–3881 |doi=10.1021/acs.chemrev.6b00590 |pmid=28191934 |issn=0009-2665}}</ref> derivatives.

== Europe and America ==
The United States has placed broad sanctions on Myanmar because of the [[8888 Uprising|military crackdown in 1988]] and the military regime's refusal to honour the [[1990 Burmese general election|election results of the 1990]] People's Assembly election. Similarly, the [[European Union]] has placed embargoes on Myanmar, including an arms embargo, cessation of trade preferences, and suspension of all aid with the exception of [[humanitarian aid]].<ref name="EU">{{cite web|url=http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/myanmar/intro/index.htm |title= The EU's relations with Burma / Myanmar |access-date=13 July 2006 |publisher=[[European Union]]|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060725000750/http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/myanmar/intro/index.htm |archive-date = 25 July 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>

US and European government sanctions against the military government, alongside boycotts and other types of direct pressure on corporations by western supporters of the Burmese democracy movement, have resulted in the withdrawal from Myanmar of most US and many European companies. However, several Western companies remain due to loopholes in the sanctions.<ref>[https://foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3986 The List: Burma’s Economic Lifelines] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106002149/http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3986 |date=6 January 2009 }}. ''[[Foreign Policy]]''. October 2007</ref> Asian corporations have generally remained willing to continue investing in Myanmar and to initiate new investments, particularly in [[natural resource]] extraction.

The French oil company [[TotalEnergies]] is able to operate the [[Yadana Project|Yadana natural gas pipeline]] from Myanmar to Thailand despite the [[European Union]]'s sanctions on Myanmar. TotalEnergies is currently the subject of a lawsuit in French and Belgian courts for the condoning and use of Burman civilian slavery to construct the named pipeline. Experts{{who|date=January 2013}} say that the human rights abuses along the gas pipeline are the direct responsibility of TotalEnergies and its American partner [[Chevron Corporation]]{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} with aid and implementation by the [[Tatmadaw]]. Prior to its acquisition by Chevron, [[Unocal]] settled a similar human rights lawsuit for a reported multimillion-dollar amount.<ref>{{cite news |last=Horsley |first=William |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3761022.stm |title=Dilemma of dealing with Burma |work=BBC News |date=20 October 2004 |access-date=2 November 2004 |archive-date=11 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211073843/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3761022.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> There remains active debate as to the extent to which the American-led sanctions have had adverse effects on the civilian population or on the military rulers.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hiatt |first=Fred |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A21505-2003Jun22 |title=How Best to Rid the World of Monsters |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=23 June 2003 |access-date=24 May 2006 |archive-date=19 July 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050719233013/http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/reg.burma/archives/199905/msg00184.html |title=Reuters Belgian group seeks Total boycott over Myanmar |work=Ibiblio |agency=Reuters |date=10 May 1999 |access-date=24 June 2006 |archive-date=14 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191114123541/http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/reg.burma/archives/199905/msg00184.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{main|France–Myanmar relations}}
Franco-Burmese relations go back to the early 18th century, as the [[John Law's Company|French East India Company]] attempted to extend its influence into Southeast Asia. French involvement started in 1729 when it built a shipyard in the city of [[Thanlyin|Syriam]].<ref>South (2003), p. 79</ref> The 1740 revolt of the [[Mon State|Mon]] against Burmese rule, however, forced the French to depart in 1742.<ref>Liang (1990), p. 14</ref> They were able to return to [[Rattanakosin Kingdom|Siam]] in 1751 when the Mon requested French assistance against the Burmese. A French envoy, [[Sieur de Bruno]] was sent to evaluate the situation and help in the defence against the Burmese. French warships were sent to support the Mon rebellion, but in vain. In 1756, the Burmese under [[Alaungpaya]] vanquished the Mon. Many French were captured and incorporated into the Burmese Army as an elite gunner corps, under [[Chevalier Milard]]. In 1769, official contacts resumed when a trade treaty was signed between [[Hsinbyushin|King Hsinbyushin]] and the French East India Company.<ref>Bhuyan (1974), p. 460</ref>

Soon after, however, France was convulsed by the [[French Revolution]] and [[Napoleonic Wars]], thus allowing overwhelming British influence in Burma. French contacts with Burma, effectively a British colony, became almost non-existent. Instead, from the second half of the 19th century, France concentrated on the establishment of [[French Indochina]] and the conflicts with China leading to the [[Sino-French War]]. Following the end of [[World War II]], ambassador-level diplomatic relationships between France and Burma were established in 1948, soon after the Burmese nation became an independent republic on 4 January 1948, as ''Union of Burma'', with [[Sao Shwe Thaik]] as its first President and [[U Nu]] as its first [[Prime Minister of Myanmar|Prime Minister]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ambafrance-mm.org/|title=La France en Birmanie|website=Ambafrance-mm.org|access-date=16 January 2018|archive-date=28 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161128045705/http://www.ambafrance-mm.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====History====
Since they both achieved independence in 1948, Burma and North Korea have enjoyed a chequered relationship.{{sfn|Selth|2004|p=1}} Burma expressed diplomatic support for the UN forces during the [[Korean War]],{{sfn|Selth|2004|p=2}} but after the signing of the 1953 armistice it established good working relations with the two Koreas. Consular links with both states were established in 1961 and full diplomatic relations followed in 1975.{{sfn|Selth|2004|p=4}} During the 1960s and 1970s, General [[Ne Win]]'s government made efforts to balance the competing demands of North Korea and [[South Korea]] for recognition, diplomatic support and trade. However, during the late 1970s the relationship with Pyongyang became slightly stronger than that with [[Seoul]], as Ne Win and the [[Burma Socialist Programme Party]] forged fraternal ties with [[Kim Il Sung]] and the [[Workers' Party of Korea]].{{sfn|Selth|2004|p=5}}{{efn|{{citation needed span|The Burma Socialist Programme Party’s policies favouring economic autarky were seen as being similar to Kim Il-sung’s [[juche]] (self-reliance) philosophy|date=September 2018}}}}

====The assassination attempt in 1983====
The bilateral relationship with North Korea dramatically collapsed in 1983, after Pyongyang allegedly sent three agents to Yangon to assassinate South Korean President [[Chun Doo Hwan]], who was making a state visit to Burma. Due to a last minute, unannounced change to his schedule, Chun survived [[Rangoon bombing|the massive bomb attack]] at the [[Martyrs' Mausoleum]], but 17 South Korean and four Burmese officials, including four Korean Cabinet ministers, were killed. Forty-six others were injured.<ref>The Bomb Attack at the Martyr’s Mausoleum in Rangoon: Report on the Findings by the Enquiry Committee and the Measures taken by the Burmese Government</ref>

There was probably at least one bilateral agreement as early as 2000, but the relationship seemed to reach a major turning point around 2003. In July that year, it was reported that between 15 and 20 North Korean technicians were working at the Monkey Point naval base in Yangon.<ref>'North Koreans return to Burma', Far Eastern Economic Review, 10 July 2003, p. 8.</ref> A UN report released on 1 February 2018 cited North Korean ballistic missile transfers to the Myanmar army.<ref>AFP news Agency.

{{Politics of India}}
Bilateral relations between Myanmar and the Republic of [[India]] have improved considerably since 1993, overcoming disagreements related to drug trafficking, the suppression of democracy and the rule of the [[State Peace and Development Council|military junta]] in Myanmar. Myanmar is situated to the south of the states of [[Mizoram]], [[Manipur]], [[Nagaland]] and [[Arunachal Pradesh]] in [[Northeast India]]. The proximity of the People's Republic of China give strategic importance to Indo-Burmese relations. The Indo-Burmese border stretches over 1,600 kilometers.<ref name="VJ">{{cite web|url=http://www.atimes.com/reports/CB21Ai01.html#top5 |archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20120210142107/http://atimes.com/reports/CB21Ai01.html#top5 |url-status=unfit |archive-date=2012-02-10 |title=Myanmar shows India the road to Southeast Asia |work=Asia Times }}</ref> India is generally friendly with Myanmar, but is concerned by the flow of tribal refugees and the arrest of [[Aung San Suu Kyi]].

As a result of increased Chinese influence in Myanmar as well as the safe haven and [[arms trafficking]] occurring along the Indo-Burmese border, India has sought in recent years to refurbish ties with the [[Union of Burma]].<ref>Jagan, Larry.

In an interview on the [[BBC]], [[George Fernandes]], former Indian Defence Minister and prominent Myanmar critic, said that [[Coco Island]] was part of India until it was donated to Myanmar by former [[Prime Minister of India]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]]. Coco Island is located at 18 km from the Indian [[Nicobar Islands]].<ref>Nanda (2003), p. 596</ref>

Myanmar has a fully operating embassy based in New Delhi and India has one in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar. Like the PRC, the Republic of India maintains a [[Consulate-General]] in Mandalay.

The relationship between Myanmar and India has been complicated by allegations that India’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), has engaged in covert operations to influence Myanmar's internal politics. Reports suggest that RAW has established ties with various ethnic insurgent groups in Myanmar, particularly in the northeastern states bordering India. This has raised concerns that India might be conducting a proxy war to exert control over Myanmar's government and counterbalance Chinese influence in the region. By supporting these insurgent groups, India aims to secure its own border and prevent the spillover of conflict into its northeastern states. However, this strategy has led to accusations of interference in Myanmar’s sovereignty. The military junta in Myanmar views such actions as destabilizing, leading to further strain in diplomatic relations. These covert operations have created a complex web of alliances and enmities, as India navigates its interests while attempting to maintain a semblance of cooperative relations with the Myanmar government. Consequently, the use of proxy forces has not only complicated India's relationship with Myanmar but has also heightened tensions within the region, raising questions about long-term stability and governance in Myanmar itself.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}

==== Operation Leech ====
Operation ''Leech'' is the name given to an armed operation on the Indo-Burmese border in 1998. India has sought to install friendly governments in the Southeast Asia region. To these ends, India's external [[intelligence agency]], [[Research and Analysis Wing|R&AW]], cultivated Burmese rebel groups and pro-democracy coalitions, especially the [[Kachin Independence Army]] (KIA).<ref>Larry Jagan, [[BBC]] Online, 4 July 2000</ref> India allowed the KIA to carry a limited trade in [[jade]] and precious stones using Indian territory and even supplied them with weapons.

However, with increasing bonhomie between the Indian government and the Burmese junta, the KIA became the main source of training and weapons for all northeastern rebel groups in India. Thus, R&AW initiated Operation ''Leech'', with the help of [[Indian Army]] and paramilitary forces, to assassinate the leaders of the Burmese rebels as an example to other groups.<ref>Subir Bhaumik (June 2005).

===Bangladesh===
{{main|Bangladesh–Myanmar relations}}
Historical relations between Myanmar and Bangladesh include centuries of trade, cultural interactions and migration between the kingdoms and empires of [[Bengal]] and the kingdoms of Burma, particularly [[Rakhine State|Arakan]]. Most prominently this is visible in the Indic Buddhist culture of Burma that was transmitted often through Bengal resulting in the imprint of Indian (inclusive of Bengali) culture and civilization currently found in Myanmar. The two nations also share a heritage of colonial commerce during the [[British Empire]]. The Bengali community in Myanmar is present in [[Yangon]] and the Rakhine. In Bangladesh, a large population of Burmese ancestry resides in [[Chittagong]] and southeastern hill districts, including [[Rakhine people|Rakhines]] and [[Marma people|Bohmong]], as well as Burmese-Bengalis. After the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] in 1971, Burma became one of the first countries to recognise the independence of Bangladesh.

However, the relationship between two countries deteriorated under [[Ziaur Rahman]] of Bangladesh. In April 1978, a large number of Rohingya refugees suddenly started arriving in Bangladesh. About 200,000 refugees arrived and took shelter during the month of June. In May 1979, [[President of Myanmar|Burmese president]] [[Ne Win]] visited Bangladesh. During his visit, the demarcation agreement between the two countries was signed on 23 May. Towards the end of Rahman's presidency, Win and Rahman visited back and forth.<ref>{{cite book|first=Muhammad|last=Mahbubur Rahman|title=BCS Bangladesh Affairs|publisher=Lion Muhammad Gias Uddin|publication-date= July 2011|volume=I & II|page= 94 (Vol. II)|language=bn}}</ref>

The presence of 270,000 [[Islam in Myanmar|Burmese Muslim]] refugees ([[Rohingya people]]) in southern Bangladesh have often caused irritants in bilateral relations, which are generally cordial. A 40-year maritime boundary dispute in the [[Bay of Bengal]] was resolved by the two countries at a UN tribunal in March 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eastasiaforum.org/2012/04/26/bangladesh-and-myanmar-resolve-longstanding-maritime-dispute/ |title=Bangladesh and Myanmar resolve longstanding maritime dispute |date=26 April 2012 |publisher=East Asia Forum |access-date=6 October 2012 |archive-date=7 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207113008/http://www.eastasiaforum.org/2012/04/26/bangladesh-and-myanmar-resolve-longstanding-maritime-dispute/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The political class and civil society of Bangladesh often voiced support for Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle. In 2006 a petition by 500 Bangladeshi politicians and intellectuals, including [[Sheikh Hasina]] and [[Kamal Hossain]], expressed support for [[Aung San Suu Kyi]] and called for the release of all political prisoners in Myanmar.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.secularvoiceofbangladesh.org/Aung_San_suu.htm |title=Aun San Suu Kyi |publisher=Secularvoiceofbangladesh.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120529154000/http://www.secularvoiceofbangladesh.org/Aung_San_suu.htm |archive-date=29 May 2012}}</ref> After winning elections in 2008, Sheikh Hasina reiterated her position on Burma's pro-democracy struggle, calling for an end to the detention of Suu Kyi and Burmese political prisoners.<ref>[http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?id=121792&cid=30]{{dead link|date=February 2013}}</ref> The [[Democratic Voice of Burma]] radio station operates bureaus in Dhaka and Chittagong.

Despite border (both territorial and nautical) tensions and the forced migration of 270,000 [[Rohingya people|Rohingya]] Muslims from [[Buddhist]] Burma in 1978, relations with [[Bangladesh]] have generally been cordial, albeit somewhat tense at times.

In the 1150s, the Burmese king [[Sithu I]] visited the court of [[Parakramabahu I]] in Sri Lanka appointing an ambassador. According to the Sri Lankan chronicle ''[[Cūḷavaṃsa]]'', that Sithu caught sight of a letter addressed to the [[Monarchy of Cambodia|King of Cambodia]].

In February 2021, New Zealand suspended high-level bilateral relations with Myanmar following the [[2021 Myanmar coup d'état]] and joined other Western governments in rejecting the new military-led government and has called for the restoration of civilian-led rule. In addition, aid projects were diverted away from the [[Tatmadaw]] and a travel ban was imposed on Myanmar's military leaders.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mahuta |first1=Nanaia |title=New Zealand takes measures against Myanmar following military coup |url=https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-zealand-takes-measures-against-myanmar-following-military-coup |website=Beehive.govt.nz |publisher=[[New Zealand Government]] |access-date=9 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209102153/https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-zealand-takes-measures-against-myanmar-following-military-coup |archive-date=9 February 2021 |date=9 February 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Young |first1=Audrey |title=Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta speaks at Myanmar democracy rally |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/foreign-minister-nanaia-mahuta-speaks-at-myanmar-democracy-rally/TX47NMGGMOZN63CWUCKCKK6SEA/ |access-date=9 February 2021 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=9 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209102334/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/foreign-minister-nanaia-mahuta-speaks-at-myanmar-democracy-rally/TX47NMGGMOZN63CWUCKCKK6SEA/ |archive-date=9 February 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

In April 2024, the New Zealand Government permitted mid-level members of the military junta to participate in the [[ASEAN]]-New Zealand Dialogue meetings in [[Wellington]].

{{short description|Member of Nagaland government}}

{{use dmy dates|date=March 2020}}
The '''deputy chief minister of Nagaland''' is a member of the [[Government of Nagaland|Cabinet of Nagaland Government]] in the [[Government of Nagaland]]. Not a [[Constitution of India|constitutional]] office, it seldom carries any specific powers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/of-deputy-chief-ministers-and-the-constitution/article3632410.ece |title=Of Deputy Chief Ministers and the Constitution |website=The Hindu |date= |accessdate=}}</ref> A deputy chief minister usually also holds a cabinet portfolio such as home minister or finance minister. In the [[parliamentary system]] of government, the chief minister is treated as the "first among equals" in the cabinet; the position of deputy chief minister is used to bring political stability and strength within a [[coalition government]].

== History ==
The first train service in southern India and the third in India was operated by [[Madras Railway]] from {{stnlnk|Royapuram}} / Veyasarapady to Wallajah Road (Arcot) in 1856. Madras Railway extended its trunk route to Beypur / Kadalundi (near Calicut) and initiated work on a north-western branch out of [[Arakkonam Junction railway station|Arakkonam]] in 1861. The branch line reached Renigunta in 1862.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-hist.html|title = IR History – Early days|work= 1832–1869| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 14 December 2013}}</ref> The branch line out of Arakkonam reached {{stnlnk|Raichur}} in 1871, where it connected to the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]] line from Mumbai.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html|title = IR History:Early days II|work= 1870–1899| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 14 December 2013}}</ref>

=== Railway reorganization ===
In the early 1950s legislation was passed authorizing the central government to take over independent railway systems that were there.

[[Himachal Pradesh]] provides water to both the [[Indus]] and [[Ganges]] [[Drainage basin|basins]]. The drainage systems of the region are the [[Chenab River|Chenab]], the [[Ravi River|Ravi]], the [[Beas River|Beas]], the [[Satluj]] and the [[Yamuna]]. These rivers are [[Perennial stream|perennial]] and are fed by snow and rainfall. They are protected by an extensive cover of natural vegetation.

[[File:Beas river and mountains as seen from Van Vihar, Manali.jpg|thumb|left|Beas river and mountains as seen from Van Vihar, [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh|Manali]]]]
[[File:Beasriverhp.jpg|thumb|right|Beas River in [[Himachal Pradesh]]]]

The Beas rises in the ''Pir Panjal'' range near the [[Rohtang Pass]] and flows about {{convert|256|km|mi}} in Himachal Pradesh. The river is joined by a number of tributaries; the major tributaries are the ''Parbati'', the ''Hurla'', the ''Sainj'', [[Uhl River|the ''Uhl'']], the ''Suheti'', the ''Luni'', the ''Banganga'' and the ''[[Chakki river|Chaki]]''. The northern and eastern tributaries of the river are snow fed and perennial, while the southern ones are seasonal. During the month of August, increase in the inflow sometimes results in [[flood]]s.

The [[Chenab River]] (Vedic name Askni), the largest river (in terms of volume of water) is formed after the meeting of two streams namely, [[Chandra]] and [[Bhaga]] at Tandi, in [[Lahaul]]. It flows {{convert|122|km|mi}} and covers an area of {{convert|7500|km2|mi2}} in [[Himachal Pradesh]], before entering [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. The Chandra passes through the barren tribal land.

The Ravi is born in Bara Banghal, [[Kangra district]] as a joint stream formed by the glacier fead ''Bhadal'' and ''Tantgari''. The river is about {{convert|158|km|mi}} long and has a catchment area of nearly {{convert|5451|km2|mi2}}. Chamba lies on its right bank.

[[File:Satluj River Valley, Rampur Bushahr.jpg|thumb|Satluj River Valley, Rampur Bushahr.jpg]]
The Satluj originates in distant [[Tibet]]. The river cuts through both the great Himalayan and the Zaskar ranges and crosses the Indo-Tibetan border (near Shipkila). Then the river Spiti joins Satluj from the north, the [[Baspa River|Baspa]] joins it from the south. Passing through gorges it emerges from the mountains at [[Bhakra dam|Bhakra]]. The catchment area of Satluj in Himachal Pradesh is about {{convert|20000|km2|mi2}}.

The Yamuna has its origin in [[Yamunotri]] in [[Uttarkashi district]], [[Uttarakhand]]. Its total catchment area in Himachal Pradesh is {{convert|2320|km2|mi2}}. Its tributaries are the ''Tons'', the ''Giri'' and the ''Bata''.<ref>

Lord Dunedin was twice married. He married firstly Mary Clementina, daughter of Admiral [[Sir William Edmonstone, 4th Baronet]], in 1874. They had one son and two daughters. After Mary's death in December 1922 he married secondly Jean Elmslie Henderson Findlay, secretary of the Scottish War Savings Committee in WW1, and daughter of George Findlay, in 1923. They had no children. His only son the Hon. Ronald Thomas Graham Murray (1875–1934) was a major in the [[Black Watch]] and fought in the [[First World War]]. However, he died married but childless in September 1934, aged 59, predeceasing his father by eight years. Lord Dunedin died in August 1942, aged 92. As he had no surviving male issue both his titles became extinct on his death.{{CN|date=December 2024}}

'''All Saints Church''' is a church in [[Bulandshahr]], India. It was constructed by the [[Central Public Works Department#History|Public Works Department]] and completed in 1864. An adjacent dispensary, which later became a school, was added in 1867 and the caretaker's lodge was erected in 1883.

The structure was funded by local subscriptions and subsidised by the [[British Raj|British Government]], who contributed half the cost. The money was raised under the supervision of the [[District magistrate|district magistrate and collector]] of [[Bulandshahr district|Bulandshahr]], [[William Lowe (civil servant)|William Lowe]].

==Response==
[[Frederic Growse]], a later collector of Bulandshahr, described the church as "a pretty little building", but its associated lodge as "a practical joke".<ref name=Sketches1884/> In his opinion the roof of the church was "grotesque" and the lodge was not large enough for any person to live in.<ref name=Cal1884/>
