[[Member of the Legislative Assembly|Members of the legislative assembly]] are often directly elected to serve five year terms from [[Single-member district|single-member constituencies]]. A legislative assembly may be [[dissolution of parliament|dissolved]] in a [[State of Emergency in India|state of emergency]], by the [[Governor (India)|governor]] on request of the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]] of the respective state or union territory, or if a [[motion of no confidence]] is passed against the ruling majority party or coalition.

== Definition and powers ==
As per the [[Constitution of India]], where there is a [[unicameral]] legislature, the legislative body is termed as the legislative assembly.<ref name="COI">{{cite web |title=Constitution of India |url=https://www.india.gov.in/sites/upload_files/npi/files/coi_part_full.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180425183923/https://www.india.gov.in/sites/upload_files/npi/files/coi_part_full.pdf |archive-date=25 April 2018 |access-date=12 December 2018 |work=[[Government of India]]}}</ref>{{rp|page=82}} In [[bicameral]] jurisdictions, there exists a [[State Legislative Council]]. The legislative assembly has the power to create or abolish the legislative council of the respective state or union territory by passing a resolution to that effect by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=82}} The term of a legislative assembly is fixed at five years unless it is dissolved prior to it. In certain cases such as an emergency of the state, the term can be extended by the [[Parliament of India|Indian parliament]] for one year at a time.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=85}} The [[Governor (India)|Governor]] of the respective state shall convene the assembly periodically, with no more than six months gap between consecutive sessions.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=86}} The assembly is presided over by a speaker, who shall be a member of the assembly and elected by the members of that constituent assembly.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=86}}

The state legislature has the power to enact laws concerning state subjects as defined in the constitution.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=95}} The union territories which have a legislature have certain restrictions in terms of these powers.<ref name="UT">{{cite web|url=https://knowindia.india.gov.in/profile/union-territories.php|title=Union territories|work=[[Government of India]]|access-date=1 June 2024}}</ref> In a bicameral legislature, a legislative assembly holds equal legislative power with the [[upper house]] of the state legislature, the [[State Legislative Council]], in terms of passing of bills except in case of [[money bill]]s. A normal bill can originate in any of the house, and is deemed to be passed only if it is cleared by both houses.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=95}} If a bill is passed by the legislative assembly, it should not be held for more than three months by the council. If the bill is sent back by the council, and is again passed by the assembly, the council is expected to act on it within one month.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=95}} If the time elapses or if it is sent back, the bill is deemed to have been passed with or without any amendments if any are made by the legislative assembly.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=96}} In case of money bills, it shall be introduced only in the assembly and the assembly can accept or reject the recommendations if any that are communicated from the council.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=96}}

A [[motion of no confidence]] against the government in the state can only be introduced in the state legislative assembly. If it is passed by a majority vote, then the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]] and her/his [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] must [[cabinet collective responsibility|collectively]] resign.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/58692/1/cabinet_responsibilty_motions_of_confidence.pdf|title=Motions of confidene|work=[[Parliament of India]]|access-date=1 June 2024|archive-date=27 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221227054901/https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/58692/1/cabinet_responsibilty_motions_of_confidence.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Members ==
{{main|Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)}}

The [[Constitution of India]] states that a legislative assembly must have no less than 60 members and a maximum of 500 members.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=82}} However an exception may be granted via an [[List of Acts of the Parliament of India|act]] of the [[Parliament of India|Indian parliament]] and is the case in the states of [[Goa Legislative Assembly|Goa]], [[Sikkim Legislative Assembly|Sikkim]], [[Mizoram Legislative Assembly|Mizoram]] and the union territory of [[Puducherry Legislative Assembly|Puducherry]] which have fewer than 60 members.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://unacademy.com/content/clat/study-material/legal-reasoning/state-legislative-assembly/|title=State legislative assembly|work=[[Unacademy]]|access-date=1 June 2024|archive-date=3 May 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250503135113/https://unacademy.com/content/clat/study-material/legal-reasoning/state-legislative-assembly/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The number of seats may be revised following a census by an act of the parliament.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=82}} A few assemblies have nominated members such as the case of [[Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly|Jammu and Kashmir]] and Puducherry. To become a [[Member of Legislative Assembly (India)|Member of Legislative Assembly]], a person must be of minimum 25 years of age and be a citizen of India. He/she might not hold any other government office, and should declare the information required by the election commission including any [[criminal procedure]]s against him or her.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=85}}

After the election of a member, he/she is expected to take an oath of affirmation.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=91}} The members are paid salaries and allowances as fixed by the respective assemblies.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=90}} A member of the assembly may resign on his/her own accord. A member can also be disqualified if found to hold another office of profit in the government, is of no sound mind, has been declared insolvent, or ineligible by a court of law.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=91}} Members of the assembly are exempt from any legal cases arising out of what has been said in the assembly.<ref name="COI"/>{{rp|page=94}}

When she became an adult, she was able to be part of these two dimensions without the embarrassment and struggle that she had when she was a child.

Lahiri then moved to [[Boston]] to pursue a PhD, and lived in a rented room within a household of non-relatives.

That year, she also worked as an unpaid intern at ''[[Boston (magazine)|Boston magazine]]'', writing "flattering items about consumer products."<ref name="encyclo" /> She shared her writings with someone who motivated her to "sit down and produce something." On weekends and at night, she typed stories onto a computer in the office where she worked as a research assistant. She even bought a copy of ''[[Writer's Market]]'' and submitted stories to small literary magazines, but faced multiple rejections.<ref name="tny" /> She enrolled in [[Boston University]] to pursue Master's of English literature. One day, she audaciously requested to sit in on a creative-writing class open only to writing students. [[Leslie Epstein]], the director of the creative writing program at Boston University, made an exception, which led her to formally apply to the programme the next year with a fellowship. Her parents were neutral about the decision.<ref name="tny" /> At the age of 30, she wrote "A Temporary Matter", her first short story written as an adult, which later became included in her debut short story collection, ''Interpreter of Maladies''.<ref name="tny" />

She earned advanced degrees from [[Boston University]]: an M.A. in English, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing, an M.A. in Comparative Literature, and a PhD in Renaissance Studies.

Lahiri was the winner of the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature 2015 for her book ''The Lowland'' at the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival, for which she entered the Limca Book of Records.<ref>{{cite web|title=First Woman Winner of DSC Prize|url=http://www.limcabookofrecords.in/record-detail.aspx?rid=1030|publisher=Limca Book of Records|access-date=June 20, 2016|archive-date=August 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160808163307/http://www.limcabookofrecords.in/record-detail.aspx?rid=1030|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2017, Lahiri received the [[PEN/Malamud Award]] for excellence in the short story.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2017/05/jhumpa-lahiri-receives-2017-penmalamud-award-excellence-short-story/|title=Jhumpa Lahiri Receives 2017 PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in the Short Story|date=May 25, 2017|work=Lewis Center for the Arts|access-date=November 29, 2018|archive-date=December 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216034157/https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2017/05/jhumpa-lahiri-receives-2017-penmalamud-award-excellence-short-story/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2018, Lahiri published her first novel in Italian, ''[[Whereabouts (novel)|Dove mi trovo]]'' (2018). In 2019, she compiled, edited and translated the ''Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories'' which consists of 40 Italian short stories written by 40 different Italian writers. Lahiri later translated ''Dove mi trovo'' into English; the translation, ''Whereabouts'', was published in 2021. In 2022, Lahiri published a new short story collection under the title ''Racconti Romani'' (Roman stories), the title being a nod to a book by [[Alberto Moravia]] of the [[Racconti romani|same name]]. The English translation, ''Roman Stories,'' was published in October 2023, translated by Lahiri and Todd Portnowitz.

A [[Netflix]] drama series adaptation of ''Unaccustomed Earth'' was announced in April 2025 and is in development.<ref>{{cite magazine |author= |date=April 28, 2025 |title=Jhumpa Lahiri's short story collection 'Unaccustomed Earth' to be adapted into Netflix series |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/jhumpa-lahiris-unaccustomed-earth-to-be-adapted-into-netflix-drama-series/cid/2096498 |magazine=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph India]] |access-date=October 10, 2025}}</ref> Production will be done by [[John Wells (filmmaker)|John Wells Production]].

==Literary focus==
Lahiri's writing is characterized by her "plain" language and her characters, often Indian immigrants to America who must navigate between the cultural values of their homeland and their adopted home.<ref name= "atlant">Chotiner, Isaac. [https://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200802u/jhumpa-lahiri "Interviews: Jhumpa Lahiri"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509102027/http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200802u/jhumpa-lahiri |date=May 9, 2008 }}, [[The Atlantic]], March 18, 2008. Retrieved on 2008-04-12.</ref><ref name= "newsw">Lahiri, Jhumpa. [http://www.newsweek.com/id/46810 "My Two Lives"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100107043025/http://www.newsweek.com/id/46810 |date=January 7, 2010 }}, [[Newsweek]], March 6, 2006. Retrieved on 2008-04-13.</ref> Lahiri's fiction is [[autobiographical novel|autobiographical]] and frequently draws upon her own experiences as well as those of her parents, friends, acquaintances, and others in the [[Bengali people|Bengali]] communities with which she is familiar. Lahiri examines her characters' struggles, anxieties, and biases to chronicle the nuances and details of immigrant psychology and behavior.

Until ''Unaccustomed Earth'', she focused mostly on first-generation Indian American [[immigration|immigrants]] and their struggle to raise a family in a country very different from theirs. Her stories describe their efforts to keep their children acquainted with [[culture of India|Indian culture and traditions]] and to keep them close even after they have grown up to hang onto the Indian tradition of a [[Hindu joint family|joint family]], in which the parents, their children and the children's families live under the same roof.

''[[Unaccustomed Earth]]'' departs from this earlier original ethos, as Lahiri's characters embark on new stages of development. These [[short story|stories]] scrutinize the fate of the [[immigrant generations|second and third generations]]. As succeeding generations become increasingly [[cultural assimilation|assimilated]] into American culture and are comfortable in constructing perspectives outside of their country of origin, Lahiri's fiction shifts to the needs of the individual. She shows how later generations depart from the constraints of their immigrant parents, who are often devoted to their community and their responsibility to other immigrants.<ref>Lahiri, J.. ''Unaccustomed Earth''.</ref>

==Influences==
When Lahiri began "writing seriously", she studied stories by [[James Joyce]], [[Gabriel Garcia Marquez]], [[Anton Chekhov]], [[Flannery O’Connor]], [[Vladimir Nabokov]] and [[Virginia Woolf]] to understand narrative structure and character development. She is "eternally indebted" to [[William Trevor]] and [[Mavis Gallant]].<ref>{{cite web |author= |date=October 31, 2006 |title=Interview with Jhumpa Lahiri |url=https://www.chipublib.org/interview-with-jhumpa-lahiri/ |website=www.chipublib.org |publisher=[[Chicago Public Library]] |access-date=May 2, 2025}}</ref> She also cites [[Dante]] and [[Horace]] as influences.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Beard |first=Alison |date=May 2022 |title=Life's Work: An Interview with Jhumpa Lahiri |url=https://hbr.org/2022/05/lifes-work-an-interview-with-jhumpa-lahiri|magazine=[[Harvard Business Review]] |access-date=May 2, 2025}}</ref> She also cited short story writers Chekhov, [[Alice Munro]], Trevor, Gallant, [[Gina Berriault]], [[Andre Dubus]], [[Bernard Malamud]], [[John Cheever]], [[Alberto Moravia]], and [[Giorgio Manganelli]].<ref name="tnyt">{{cite news |author= |date=September 5, 2013 |title=Jhumpa Lahiri: By the Book |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/08/books/review/jhumpa-lahiri-by-the-book.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=June 2, 2025}}</ref><ref name="telegraph india">{{cite magazine |author= |date=January 24, 2014 |title=The outsider's experience is my experience.

I learned so much from her about how to be a writer, about how a writer inhabited life and space and listened to people and just saw things." She has also said that writing in her own diaries "become a laboratory for things that I do" and the Italian poetry collection ''Il quaderno di Nerina'' came from her diary writing.<ref name="larb">{{cite magazine |last=Seshagiri |first=Urmila |date=May 22, 2021 |title=Language Is a Place: A Conversation with Jhumpa Lahiri |url=https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/language-is-a-place-a-conversation-with-jhumpa-lahiri/ |magazine=[[Los Angeles Review of Books]] |access-date=June 2, 2025}}</ref>

==Television==
Lahiri worked on the third season of the HBO television program ''[[In Treatment]]''. That season featured a character named Sunil, a widower who moves to the United States from India and struggles with grief and with culture shock. Although she is credited as a writer on these episodes, her role was more as a consultant on how a Bengali man might perceive Brooklyn.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/arts/television/14treatment.html | title=Therapy?

==History==
In the year 1919, the [[Imperial Secretariat Service]] came into being as one of the offshoots of the Lewllyn-Smith Committee which had been set up on the eve of the introduction of the [[Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms]].<ref name="Service History">{{cite web|title=History: Central Secretariat Service|url=http://persmin.gov.in/DOPT/CSWing/CSDivision/CSS/History.htm|publisher=[[Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (India)|Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension]]|access-date=17 May 2012}}</ref> The posts of Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, Assistant Secretary and Under Secretary were filled by officers drawn from the Imperial Secretariat Service during the [[British Raj]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Singh|first=Hoshiar|title=Indian Administration|year=2011|publisher=Pearson Education India|isbn=9788131761199}}</ref> The recruitment of the members was made by Central Staff Selection Board, which was precursor of the [[Union Public Service Commission]] set up in 1926.<ref>{{cite book|last=Maheshwari|first=Shriram|title=A Dictionary of Public Administration|year=2002|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=9788125022527}}</ref> Notable members included - [[V.

Gopalan]].

In 1946, after India gained [[Partition of India|independence]] from [[British Raj|Britain]], the Imperial Secretariat Service was replaced by Central Secretariat Service in India. However, in Pakistan, a Central Secretariat Service was formed in [[Central Superior Services of Pakistan]],<ref name="CSP OMG Pakistan">{{cite web|url=http://csspk.com/Office_Management_Group.htm|title=Office Management Group: CSS Pakistan|access-date=19 July 2015|publisher=[[Central Superior Services of Pakistan]]}}</ref> which was later replaced and renamed to [[Office Management Group]] (OMG) and Secretariat Group (SG).<ref name="CSP OMG Pakistan"/>

The Central Secretariat Service was formed in 1946 and was established before the creation of [[All India Services]] - [[Indian Administrative Service]] in 1950, [[Indian Forest Service]] in 1966 and [[Indian Police Service]] in 1948. CSS is one of the earliest organized services<ref name="Service History"/> in [[India]].

==Recruitment==

However, after the cadre restructuring in 2003, the direct recruitment into CSS through the [[Civil Services Examination]] has been stopped.

The mode of recruitment was changed to the grade of Section Officer by way of 50% through Limited Departmental Competitive Examination by [[Union Public Service Commission]]<ref name="CSS cadre restructure">{{cite web|title=Cadre Restructure: Central Secretariat Service|url=http://persmin.gov.in/DOPT/CSWing/CSDivision/CSS/TrainingPolicy.pdf|publisher=[[Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (India)|Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension]]|access-date=16 May 2015}}</ref>

===Rotational transfer policy===
The service follows RTP policy which stipulates fixed tenure in a Ministry/Department at different grades of the service in their career. The policy aims at the overall growth of officers, their exposure to different Ministries/Departments and various aspects of working of the Government of India. The [[Central Vigilance Commission]] also recommends rotational transfers as a preventive vigilance mechanism to curb corruption by limiting the development of vested interests.<ref name="RTP">{{cite web|title=Vigilance Mechanism CSS|url=https://cvc.gov.in/files/trainingmodules-pdf/M3-04.pdf|publisher=[[Central Vigilance Commission]]|access-date=25 July 2025}}</ref>

* Analysis and Policy Development - They analyze reports from commissions/committees, expert opinions, and inputs from various sources to produce balanced, informed notes that feed into policy development.
* Parliamentary Liaison & Documentation - They act as a vital link between Parliament and the Secretariat, handling parliamentary questions, government bills, assurances, and other legislative support work.
* Financial Management and Budget Oversight - They assist in preparing departmental budgets and managing financial aspects of centrally funded schemes—especially those executed by states or other agencies.

==Model and influence ==
===State government of India===
Based on CSS service model, 28 [[State governments of India|state governments in India]] have their own independent secretariat service, usually known as the State Secretariat Service, which functions similarly to the CSS of the Government of India. The examples are like [[Bihar]], [[Uttar Pradesh]] who have organised their own independent services like Bihar Secretariat Service<ref name="Bihar Secretariat">{{cite web|title=Bihar Secretariat service staff on warpath |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/secretariat-service-staff-on-warpath/articleshow/66871032.cms|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=26 January 2019}}</ref><ref name="Bihar Secretariat2">{{cite web|title=Bihar Secretariat Service Act 2007|url=https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/19799/1/bssa2007.pdf|work=[[Government of India]]|access-date=26 January 2025|archive-date=24 July 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250724033855/https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/19799/1/bssa2007.pdf|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref> and [[Provincial Secretariat Service (Uttar Pradesh)|Provincial Secretariat Service (UP)]].

The [[Union Government ministries of India|Union Government ministries]] such like [[Ministry of Railways (India)|Railways]], [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Defence]] and [[Ministry of External Affairs (India)|External Affairs]], have organised their own independent services based on CSS model which are known as [[Railway Board Secretariat Service]],<ref name="CSS Model RBSS"/> [[Armed Forces Headquarters Civil Services]] and [[Indian Foreign Service|Indian Foreign Service, Group B]] (general cadre)<ref name="IFS B 1964">{{cite web|url=https://www.mea.gov.in/images/pdf/ifs-b-rule3.pdf|title=Indian Foreign Service Branch 'B' (Recruitment, Cadre, Seniority and Promotion) Rules, 1964 (As amended upto 17th November, 2008)|access-date=7 May 2020|publisher=[[Ministry of External Affairs (India)]]}}</ref> respectively.

The '''Sikkim expedition''' ({{zh|t=隆吐山戰役|p=Lóngtǔ Shān Zhànyì|l=Battle of the Longtu Mountain}}) was an 1888 [[British Empire|British]] military expedition to expel [[Tibet under Qing rule|Tibet]]an forces from [[Kingdom of Sikkim|Sikkim]]. The roots of the conflict lay in British–Tibetan competition for suzerainty over Sikkim.

== Causes ==
Sikkim had a long history of relations with Tibet. [[Buddhism]] was the state religion and its {{cns|text=[[Chogyal]] rulers were descended from [[Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal]], a Tibetan saint who unified [[Bhutan]]|date=August 2015}}. In the first half of the 19th century, the British extended their influence to the [[Himalayas]] and Sikkim signed the [[Treaty of Tumlong]] with the British in 1861. As the British established relations with [[Nepal]], Sikkim and Bhutan, Tibetan influence waned and in [[Lhasa]] and [[Peking]] it was feared that if left unopposed, the British would encroach into Tibet through Sikkim.
[[File:King of Sikkim with a group of Lama, Darjeeling, India, c. 1900.jpg|thumb|280px|[[Lama]]s with Thutob Namgyal in [[Darjeeling]], ca. 1900|alt=]]

[[Thutob Namgyal]], the 9th Chogyal of Sikkim, looked to the [[Dalai Lama]] for spiritual leadership and during his reign the Tibetan government started to regain political influence over Sikkim. Under the 1861 treaty, the Chogyal was restricted to spending no more than three months in Tibet but he frequently ignored this provision and in 1887, after having resided for almost two years in Tibet he declined to travel to [[Darjeeling]] to meet with the Lieutenant-Governor arguing that the [[Amban]] in Lhasa had forbidden him to do so.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=50}} Meanwhile, he had ordered that the revenue collected be sent to [[Chumbi Valley|Chumbi]], a clear sign of his intention not to return to Sikkim.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=50}}

In 1884 the Indian government prepared to send a diplomatic mission to the Tibetan capital [[Lhasa]] to define the spheres of influence of the Tibetan and Indian governments. [[Colman Macaulay]] was to be the responsible for the negotiations but the mission was indefinitely postponed after the Tibetan government dispatched an expedition of 300 soldiers that crossed the [[Jelep La]] pass and occupied Lingtu around {{convert|13|mi}} into Sikkim.

The British decided to suspend the Macaulay mission since its presence was the Tibetan's argument for their occupation. However, instead of retreating the Tibetans showed every sign of being there to stay. They built a fortified gate on the road that crossed Lingtu coming from Darjeeling and into Tibet, and also constructed a fort for its defence. After negotiations with the Chinese stalled, the Indian government ordered the despatch of a military expedition to Lingtu to restore Indian control of the road.

== Despatch of the Expedition ==
[[File:Brigadier general graham and others.JPG|thumb|280px|Colonel Thomas Graham and other officers of the British expedition.]]
Starting in 1888, while negotiations carried on the British prepared for a military solution. In January they sent to the frontier the headquarters and one wing of the [[32nd Sikh Pioneers|32nd Pioneers]] to repair the Rongli bridge and the road, and prepared resting locations for the expedition at [[Sevoke]] and Riang in the [[Terai]].{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=50}} The Tibetan government received an ultimatum to withdraw their troops by 15{{nbsp}}March.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=51}}

On 25{{nbsp}}February Brig-Gen Thomas Graham RA was ordered to march. His forces mustered the 2nd Battalion [[Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment)]], HQ wing [[13th Rajputs (The Shekhawati Regiment)|13th Bengal Infantry]], four guns from the 9-1st Northern Division [[Royal Artillery]] and the [[32nd Sikh Pioneers|32nd Pioneers]].{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=51}} His orders were to expel the Tibetans from Lingtu and reestablish Indian control of the road up to the [[Jelep La]], while securing [[Gantok]] and [[Tumlong]] from possible reprisals. He was not instructed to cross into Tibet but the decision was left to his discretion.

An advanced depot was established at [[Dolepchen]] and the entire force was assembled at [[Padaung (village)|Padong]] by 14{{nbsp}}March when it was divided into two columns, the Lingtu column commanded by Graham and the [[Intchi]] column by Lt-Col Mitchell.

== Jeluk and Lingtu ==
[[File:LOUIS(1894) p084 WAY TO SEDONGCHEN.jpg|thumbnail|Path to Sedongchen]]
Mitchell sent 200 men to [[Pakyong]] while he remained in Padong.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=52}} Graham advanced to [[Sedongchen]], about {{convert|7|mi}} from Lingtu, on the 19th and the next day he attacked the Tibetan stockade at Jeluk.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=52}} The Tibetans had barricaded the road and erected a stockade on a hill that dominated the road. Graham advanced up the road with the pioneers in front clearing the path from bamboo and foliage, followed by a hundred men of the Derbyshire and the two artillery pieces.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=52}} The advance was slow due to the difficult terrain, but once they reached the stockade the Tibetans retreated after a short struggle. In spite of the fortifications the defenders' bows and matchlocks were outgunned by the British modern rifles and artillery. After carrying the stockade, the British drove the defenders off a stone breastwork that covered the back of the stockade and stopped short their pursuit of the retreating Tibetans.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=53}}

After the battle of Jeluk, Graham reformed his men and advanced down the road as far as [[Garnei]], within a mile of the Lingtu fort, and camped there for the night.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=53}} The next morning the column advanced slowly through the mist and snow to the Tibetan positions and around 11 o'clock the 32nd Pioneers occupied the gate of the fort which was guarded only by some 30 Tibetan soldiers.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=54}}

== Gnathong ==
[[File:The stockade at gnatong.JPG|left|thumb|280px|The stockade at Gnathong]]
After escaping from Lingtu, the Tibetans crossed the border and rallied in the Chumbi valley, defeated but not destroyed. In fact they received reinforcements and the British readied their defences in [[Nathang Valley|Gnathong]], a plateau some three or four miles north of Lingtu.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=55}} On 21{{nbsp}}May the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal arrived at Gnathong and the Tibetans attacked the British defences the next day at 7 AM with 3,000 men (British claim).{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=55}} The fighting lasted until 10 a.m. when the Tibetans retreated. The British admitted three killed and eight wounded and claimed to have killed around a hundred Tibetans.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=55}} The Tibetans retreated back across the Jelap La and no other combat took place, so in June the British started to send some of the troops back to Darjeeling.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=56}}

== Renewed operations ==
Towards the end of July, as the [[United Kingdom|British]] withdrawal continued, renewed Tibetan activity was observed on the other side of the border.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=56}} The Tibetans were [[fort]]ifying the mountain passes above the [[Chumbi valley]]. Colonel Graham had at his disposition only 500 men plus a garrison at Gnathong, while the [[Bengal]] government estimated the Tibetan strength between [[Rinchengang|Rinchingong]] and Kophu at 7,000, plus a reserve at [[Lingamathang]] of 1,000 soldiers.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=56}} Quickly the [[Bengal Presidency|Bengal]] authorities sent reinforcements and by the end of August, Graham's forces at Gnathong had risen to 1,691 soldiers and four guns.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=56}}

After some [[skirmish]]es, the Tibetans crossed the Tuko La pass some two miles from Gnathong. Quickly they started building a wall on the ridge of the pass, some three or four feet high and almost four miles wide.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=57}} Colonel Graham attacked the Tibetan positions around 8 a.m. with three columns. He led the left column, which attacked the [[blockhouse]] that guarded the [[Tuko La pass]]. Lieutenant-Colonel Bromhead commanded the centre column that was to advance up the main road to Tuko La. The right column, commanded by Major Craigie-Halkett, was to occupy the saddle-back north east of Woodcock hill and hold the Tibetans' left.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=57}} Around 9:30 am the attack was opened with the bombardment of the Tibetan left flank by the artillery of the British right. At 10:30 the other two British columns were in contact with the Tibetans, and the British penetrated the defences and captured the Tuko La pass, after which the Tibetans retreated through the Nim La pass.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=58}} After securing his flanks, Colonel Graham moved to attack the Tibetans at the Jelep La pass which was attacked at 2:00 pm and captured shortly afterwards.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=59}} The next day the pursuit continued and by 4:00 pm the British had occupied Rinchingong.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=60}}

== Chumbi Valley and Gangtok ==
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 135-S-06-03-16, Tibetexpedition, Landschaftsaufnahme, Chumbital.jpg|thumb|280px|The Chumbi Valley]]
The next day, 26{{nbsp}}September, the British advanced {{convert|3|mi}} along the Ammo Chu, and bivouacked for the night at Myatong ([[Old Yatung|Yatung]]).{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=60}} The Tibetans were disorganized and did not oppose the enemy's progress.

Meanwhile, Graham found it necessary to advance to [[Gangtok]], the capital of Sikkim, where the pro-Tibetan party had ousted the pro-Indian opposition. Colonel Mitchell, with 150 men from the 13th Bengal Infantry, marched to the city on the 23 September.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=60}}

== Convention of Calcutta ==
{{main|Convention of Calcutta}}
After the advance on Chumbi and Gangtok, military operations stalled. On 21{{nbsp}}December, the Chinese resident in Lhasa arrived at Gnathong and negotiations began, but no agreement was reached so the Amban returned to Rinchingong where he received orders to wait for Mr. T. H. Hart, of the [[Chinese Maritime Customs Service|Chinese Imperial Customs Service]], who finally arrived to Gnathong on 22{{nbsp}}March 1889.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=61}} Eventually the Anglo-Chinese [[Convention of Calcutta]] was signed on 17{{nbsp}}March 1890 at [[Kolkata]], which established the Tibetan renunciation of suzerainty over Sikkim, and delimited the border between Tibet and Sikkim.{{sfnp|Paget, Frontier and Overseas Expeditions |1907|page=61}}

'''''Leila''''' is a 2017 Indian [[Utopian and dystopian fiction#Dystopian fiction|dystopian]] novel written by [[Prayaag Akbar]]. Set in the 2040s, the story follows Shalini, who tries to find her missing daughter Leila in a totalitarian regime. It was published by [[Simon & Schuster]] in several formats worldwide on 20 April 2017 and received a positive critical reception. It is also available as an audiobook narrated by Tania Rodriguez.

The novel was awarded the 2018 [[juried (competition)|juried]] [[Crossword Book Award]] for fiction and the Tata Literature Live First Book Award the same year. It was also shortlisted for [[The Hindu Literary Prize]]. ''Leila'' was adapted as a [[Leila (TV series)|Netflix series]] by [[Deepa Mehta]], Shanker Raman and [[Pawan Kumar (director)|Pawan Kumar]] with [[Huma Qureshi]], [[Siddharth (actor)|Siddharth]], [[Rahul Khanna]], [[Sanjay Suri]] and [[Arif Zakaria]]. The series premiered on 14 June 2019 to mostly positive reviews from critics.

== Plot ==
The novel depicts a near- future society governed by totalitarian council. In the late 2040s, drinking water and fresh air are luxuries. India is ruled by ''The Council''. Shalini is married to Rizwan Chaudhury, a Muslim man with whom she has a daughter, Leila. One day Rizwan is abducted and killed by goons known as "Repeaters" in an attempt to cleanse the bloodlines and stop [[Interfaith marriage|inter-faith marriages]]. Her daughter Leila is also abducted. Shalini is sent to a Purity Camp where she serves as a slave for sixteen years to reform her identity and enforce obedience. She endures violence and psychological torture due to which her mental health starts deteriorating. One day she escapes. She is later caught and sent back to the camp where she is appointed as a housekeeper to the Dixits, an advantaged family at the Record Towers. Mr. Dixit is one of the designers for the up-and-coming Skydome, which will be utilized to make fresh air.

Shalini gains access to the tower through the bureaucracy, to get more information. Mr. Dixit is sent to the camp after he neglects to make the arch by the due date. Feeling for Mrs. Dixit, Shalini helps her escape. One day, Shalini gets into the wealthy facility to find answers concerning the whereabouts of her missing girl. She sees a blurb demonstrating one of the specialists she thinks is one of the men who came to kill her husband and kidnap Leila. Shalini sees a video of Dixit clarifying that the Skydome will resemble a climate control system with vents blowing tourists outside of it that can murder individuals outside of it.{{cfn|date=April 2025}}

While checking for the whereabouts of her daughter, Shalini stumbles on a file of all the children in the country. She notices Leila's picture and her school. Shalini visits the school and sees a little girl free from any danger yet being brainwashed into being a blind follower. Shalini thinks of her as Leila. The girl does not recognize Shalini. A politician, Mr. Rao, tells Shalini to get inside the facility, switch off the power, and take photos of the Skydome's arrangements.

Shalini performs the task and then meets with Rao and gives him the film reel she took before of his preferred sonnet. Rao helps Shalini get into the Skydome work as her daughter will perform there. He gives Shalini content to peruse to the capacity, arranging an upset in an offer to govern over Joshi. Shalini shrouds the light inside Rao's lunch. As Joshi arrives, the youngsters perform for the group of spectators. Joshi then solicits one of the kids, which happens to be Leila, to remain with him. Shalini leaves the building and, standing outside, stares up at the girl she thinks is Leila. Shalini feels like the girl is calling out to her but is never sure whether it is real or her imagination.

== Plot ==
Professor Krishnan is a role model; honest and austere, he is a staunch follower of [[Swami Vivekananda]]. His principle in life is "Duty First". He is a perfectionist to the extent where people correct their clocks based on his schedule. He considers marriage as an hindrance and women as diversion. His only aim is to take care of his mother and get Gomathi, his niece married. He "adopts" Ramu, an orphan, as a brother and helps educate him. Gomathi and Ramu fall in love. Radha, a student, seduces Krishnan in a slow and steady manner and their affair turns out to cause his doom.

Radha is presumed dead in an accident and the blame falls on Krishnan which causes his mother to die and him go through a lengthy and scandalous trial. He is declared innocent as Radha's body is never found but the society which respected him has now shunned him. He attempts suicide but a dog he once rescued saves him dying in the process. He takes this as a message and decides to dedicate his new life, given by the dog, in service of others taking up the name of Moorthy.

Radha, meanwhile, has lost her memory and is in care of Sankar who intends to marry her. Gomathi too has become destitute. Moorthy joins work in Sankar's quarry, meets Gomathi, gets her married to Ramu while keeping away from Radha believing that she manipulated the whole situation to ruin him unaware of her amnesia. In the end, all confusions get cleared with Radha and Moorthy getting married.

The act was later amended to include, forest offenders, sand smugglers, [[cyber criminals]] and [[Sex offender|sexual offenders]] against women. The amended act allows the state to also hold first-time offenders for an offence that may have a potential to [[Civil disorder|disrupt public order]].<ref name="frontline-aa" />

== Overview ==
The act allows for the imprisonment of certain categories of criminals whose actions have the potential to disrupt public order, and it can be used against repeat offenders. The primary requirement for issuing a detention order under the Act in respect of 'goonda' is repeated conduct, attempt to commit, or abetment of commission of offenses listed in the description of the term "goonda".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sexual, Cyber Law Offenders to Be Brought Under Goondas Act|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/sexual-cyber-law-offenders-to-be-brought-under-goondas-act/854628|access-date=2021-07-25|website=outlookindia.com}}</ref>

The authorities can imprison someone under this act. This act is enforced by the [[Commissioner of Police (India)|Commissioner of Police]] in metropolitan areas and the [[District Collector]] in rural regions. A person can be arrested under sections 16, 17, 22, 45 of the Indian Penal Code only if they are believed of committing a crime or are a member of a criminal organization. An advisory panel consisting of judges will decide whether the arrest is correct. Even after the panel made a decision, a person can approach the High Court and seek relief. The offender may face up to 12 months in prison if the Goondas act is decided on him. If the state administration so wishes, he can be released ahead of time. If a person is arrested under this Act and is released with certain conditions and if he/she violates the conditions, he/she will be sentenced to up to two years in prison.<ref name="bbc-7">{{Cite news|title=குண்டர் சட்டம் - 7 முக்கிய தகவல்கள்|language=ta|work=BBC News தமிழ்|url=https://www.bbc.com/tamil/india-40645333|access-date=2021-07-25}}</ref>

If a person arrested under this Act wishes to show that he is innocent, his lawyer cannot advocate on his behalf. Only members of his family may approach the appeals panel on his behalf.<ref name=":0" /> Once a person is detained, his or her family has 12 days to request for his or her release, first to the state for evaluation, then to the advisory panel established under Section 10 of the Act.<ref name="frontline-aa" /> The panel will be made up of a High Court judge, a retired judge, and a session judge. The panel will conduct an investigation and report to the court on whether the act imposed on the person concerned is right. Action will be taken against the person based on the decision.<ref name=":0" />

According to the state, the amended act allows the state to also hold first-time offenders for an offence that may have a potential to disrupt public order. The government based its decision on a 2011 Madras High Court judgement that said that "even a single crime allows imprisonment of a person as a Goonda, under the Act.<ref name="frontline-aa">{{Cite web|last=Rajasekaran|first=Ilangovan|title=Alarming act|url=https://frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/alarming-act/article6412617.ece|access-date=2021-07-25|website=Frontline|date=17 September 2014 |language=en}}</ref>

==History==
The Act was enacted during the administration of former [[Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu]] [[M. G. Ramachandran]] (M.G.R.). He intended to enact a strict law to prosecute and punish anyone who unlawfully produces, sells, disrupts public order, instigates violence, or indulges in [[smuggling]] and [[embezzlement]]. After consultations with government officials, ministers, and others, MGR came up with a law. The complete name of the act is the Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Forest Offenders, Sand Offenders, Slum-Grabbers, and Video Pirates Act. In short, it was known as the Prevention of Violence Act'. The law is called the "Goondas Act" by simply calling the perpetrators "[[Goonda]]s".<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title='குண்டர் தடுப்புச் சட்டம்' என்றால் என்ன?- குற்றத்தன்மை முதல் தண்டனை வரை: ஓர் எளிய விளக்கம்|url=https://www.puthiyathalaimurai.com/newsview/107823/what-is-goondas-act-explanation|access-date=2021-07-25|website=Puthiyathalaimurai|date=27 June 2021|language=ta}}</ref>

As chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Environment, Khanna presided over the "[[Big Oil]] hearing", bringing the CEOs of [[ExxonMobil]], [[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]], [[Royal Dutch Shell|Shell]], and [[BP]] to appear before Congress under oath to investigate their spreading of [[disinformation]] about [[climate change]].

In March 2017, Khanna traveled to [[Paintsville, Kentucky]], also known as "Silicon Holler", with a bipartisan delegation from Congress, to lend support to TechHire Eastern Kentucky, a program that trains Kentuckians in fields such as computer technology and coding. He expressed support for a broad technology apprenticeship program that could help areas of the United States such as [[Appalachia]] by giving blue-collar workers the skills they need to launch careers in the technology sector.<ref>{{cite web|first=Carla|last=Marinucci|url=https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2017/02/silicon-valley-heading-to-appalachia-with-jobs-message-109845|title=Khanna headed to Appalachia to support program that trains young people for tech jobs|website=[[Politico]]|date=February 23, 2017|access-date=April 18, 2017}}</ref><ref name="politico.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/tipsheets/morning-tech/2017/03/silicon-valley-sends-its-ambassador-to-appalachia-219339|title=Silicon Valley sends its ambassador to Appalachia|website=[[Politico]]|date=March 21, 2017 |access-date=April 18, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/how-congress-connects-to-jobs-of-the-future-897486915555|title=How Congress connects to jobs of the future|website=[[MSNBC]]|date=March 14, 2017|access-date=April 18, 2017}}</ref> The press has called Khanna the "Ambassador of Silicon Valley".<ref>{{cite web|first=Casey|last=Tolan|url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/23/ro-khanna-wants-to-be-silicon-valleys-ambassador-to-middle-america/|title=Ro Khanna wants to be Silicon Valley's ambassador to Middle America|date=June 23, 2017|website=[[Mercury News]]|access-date=October 21, 2017}}</ref><ref name="politico.com" />

In May 2017, Khanna stood up for the Appalachian Regional Commission and Manufacturing Externship Partnership, a [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]]-era policy, when Trump's proposed 2018 budget zeroed out its funding.

Khanna called on Silicon Valley executives and technology companies to do more nationwide to create tech jobs and diversify their recruiting efforts by making sure to recruit the next generation of tech workers from not just Ivy League institutions but also state schools and historically black colleges and universities. In a ''[[Washington Post]]'' op-ed, Khanna wrote, "Tech companies must offer an aspirational vision of how all Americans, regardless of geography, can benefit from a tech-driven economy. This means making investments not just in California, Massachusetts, and New York, but also in start-ups and entrepreneurs in cities and rural communities across the nation."<ref>{{cite news|first=Ro|last=Khanna|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-beat-silicon-valley-at-its-own-game-now-it-must-prove-itself/2017/10/16/a0160c36-af96-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html|title=Opinion - Trump beat Silicon Valley at its own game.

In 2022, Khanna was appointed to the [[National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology]], a bipartisan commission charged with making policy recommendations to Congress and the Executive Branch.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lawmakers name appointees to new emerging biotech panel {{!}} InsideDefense.com |url=https://insidedefense.com/insider/lawmakers-name-appointees-new-emerging-biotech-panel |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=insidedefense.com}}</ref>

=== Trade policy ===
Khanna has argued that trade policy should focus on rebuilding domestic manufacturing capacity and reducing trade imbalances in strategically important sectors. In a 2022 essay for ''[[Foreign Affairs]]'', he wrote that trade liberalization with China after the granting of permanent normal trade relations and China's entry into the [[World Trade Organization]] accelerated U.S. deindustrialization, and called for "economic patriotism" centered on expanding domestic production, targeted tariffs, export promotion, and industrial policy.<ref name="FAIndustrial2022">{{cite news |last=Khanna |first=Ro |title=The New Industrial Age: America Should Once Again Become a Manufacturing Superpower |url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/ro-khanna-new-industrial-age-america-manufacturing-superpower |work=[[Foreign Affairs]] |date=December 20, 2022 |access-date=March 12, 2026}}</ref>

At the same time, Khanna has criticized across-the-board tariffs as inflationary and ineffective when not paired with public investment in workforce development and production. In April 2025, he said blanket tariffs on electronics would raise prices for consumers and shift production to countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam rather than return manufacturing to the United States, adding that tariffs could be useful only as part of a broader industrial policy.<ref name="CBS2025Tariffs">{{cite web |title=Transcript: Rep.

In September 2025, Khanna and Republican representative [[Don Bacon]] introduced bipartisan legislation to exempt coffee from tariffs imposed after January 19, 2025, arguing that the duties were increasing prices for American consumers on a product not produced domestically at scale.<ref name="ReutersCoffee2025">{{cite news |title=US lawmakers to introduce bipartisan bill to axe tariffs on coffee |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-lawmakers-plan-introduce-bipartisan-bill-kill-coffee-tariffs-washington-post-2025-09-19/ |work=[[Reuters]] |date=September 19, 2025 |access-date=March 12, 2026}}</ref>

=== Childcare ===
In 2024, Khanna introduced a universal childcare bill modeled after Canada's system. The legislation caps childcare costs for families making under $250,000 annually at $10 per day and mandates a minimum wage of $24 for childcare workers. The bill, with an estimated cost of $780 billion over 10 years, allows families to choose between private, public, neighborhood, or home-based childcare options. Stay-at-home parents are also supported through the program. Providers have the option to participate in the $10 a Day program and receive grant incentives. Nothing is mandatory.<ref>{{cite web|title=Exclusive: Ro Khanna Proposes Capping Childcare at $10 a Day|url=https://time.com/7024525/childcare-congress-bill/|publisher=Time|date=2024}}</ref>

Khanna co-sponsored H.R.1303, a bipartisan companion bill to the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2017 designed to prevent the exploitation of foreign workers while still recognizing the contributions immigrants make to the US economy.

Khanna and [[Thomas Massie|Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY)]], who co-sponsored the [[Epstein Files Transparency Act]], reviewed unredacted documents and criticized the DOJ for withholding the names without clear justification. The lawmakers noted that inclusion in the files does not itself imply criminal wrongdoing.

Khanna stated, “Now my question is: why did it take Thomas Massie and me going to the Justice Department to get these six men’s identities to become public?

Winfrey's career in media would not have surprised her grandmother, who once said that ever since Winfrey could talk, she was on stage. As a child, she played games interviewing her corncob doll and the crows on the fence of her family's property. Winfrey later acknowledged her grandmother's influence, saying it was Hattie Mae who had encouraged her to speak in public and "gave me a positive sense of myself".<ref>Mel Novit.

Working in local media, Winfrey was both the youngest news anchor and the first black female news anchor at [[Nashville]]'s WLAC-TV (now [[WTVF-TV]]), where she often covered the same stories as [[John Tesh]], who worked at [[WSMV-TV|a competing Nashville station]]. In 1976, she moved to [[Baltimore]]'s [[WJZ-TV]] to co-anchor the six o'clock news. In 1977, she was removed as co-anchor and worked in lower profile positions at the station. She was then recruited to join [[Richard Sher (newscaster)|Richard Sher]] as co-host of WJZ's local talk show ''People Are Talking'', which premiered on August 14, 1978.

In 1984, Winfrey relocated to Chicago to host [[WLS-TV]]'s low-rated half-hour morning talk show, ''AM Chicago'', after being hired by that station's general manager, [[Dennis Swanson]]. The first episode aired on January 2, 1984. Within months after Winfrey took over, the show went from last place in the ratings to overtaking ''[[The Phil Donahue Show|Donahue]]'' as the highest-rated talk show in Chicago. The movie critic [[Roger Ebert]] persuaded her to sign a syndication deal with [[King World]].

Their much-publicized contest was the subject of enormous scrutiny. According to ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine in August 1988:
{{Pull quote|Few people would have bet on Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of ample bulk. As interviewers go, she is no match for, say, Phil Donahue ... What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, robust humor and, above all empathy. Guests with sad stories to tell are apt to rouse a tear in Oprah's eye ... They, in turn, often find themselves revealing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience. It is the talk show as a group therapy session.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20091121010155/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,968069,00.html "Oprah Winfrey: Lady with a Calling"], ''Time'', August 8, 1988.

TV columnist [[Howard Rosenberg]] said: "She's a roundhouse, a full course meal, big, brassy, loud, aggressive, hyper, laughable, lovable, soulful, tender, low-down, earthy, and hungry. And she may know the way to Phil Donahue's jugular."{{sfnp|Mair|1994|p=97}} ''[[Newsday]]''{{'}}s [[Les Payne]] observed, "Oprah Winfrey is sharper than Donahue, wittier, more genuine, and far better attuned to her audience, if not the world"{{sfnp|Mair|1994|p=98}} and Martha Bayles of ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' wrote, "It's a relief to see a gab-monger with a fond but realistic assessment of her own cultural and religious roots."{{sfnp|Mair|1994|p=98}}

In the early years of ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'', the program was classified as a tabloid talk show.

===Film===
Winfrey co-starred in [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[[The Color Purple (1985 film)|The Color Purple]]'' (1985), as distraught housewife [[The Color Purple#Sofia|Sofia]]. She was nominated for an [[Academy Award]] for [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]] for her performance. The [[Alice Walker]] novel later became [[The Color Purple (musical)|a Broadway musical]] which opened in late 2005, with Winfrey credited as a producer. In October 1998, Winfrey produced and starred in the film ''[[Beloved (1998 film)|Beloved]]'', based on [[Toni Morrison]]'s [[Pulitzer Prize]]–winning [[Beloved (novel)|novel of the same name]]. To prepare for her role as Sethe, the protagonist and former slave, Winfrey experienced a 24-hour simulation of the experience of slavery, which included being tied up and blindfolded and left alone in the woods. Despite major advertising, including two episodes of her [[The Oprah Winfrey Show|talk show]] dedicated solely to the film, and moderate to good critical reviews, ''Beloved'' opened to poor box-office results, losing approximately $30 million. While promoting the movie, co-star [[Thandie Newton|Thandiwe Newton]] described Winfrey as "a very strong technical actress and it's because she's so smart. She's acute. She's got a mind like a razor blade."<ref>''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'' October 1998</ref> [[Harpo Productions]] released a film adaptation of [[Zora Neale Hurston]]'s 1937 novel ''[[Their Eyes Were Watching God]]'' in 2005.

In late 2008, Winfrey's company [[Harpo Films]] signed an exclusive output pact to develop and produce scripted series, documentaries, and movies exclusively for [[HBO]].<ref name="varietyHBOpact">{{Cite news |last=Frankel |first=Daniel |date=December 16, 2008 |title=Oprah Winfrey pacts with HBO |url=https://variety.com/2008/scene/markets-festivals/oprah-winfrey-pacts-with-hbo-1117997464/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210121021/https://variety.com/2008/scene/markets-festivals/oprah-winfrey-pacts-with-hbo-1117997464/ |archive-date=February 10, 2018 |access-date=January 29, 2018 |work=Variety}}</ref>

In 2013, Winfrey starred in the film ''[[The Butler]]'' directed by [[Lee Daniels]].

Oprah's extensive and continuously evolving real-estate portfolio has garnered heightened attention throughout her life and career, with many prominent industry outlets branding her a "tycoon" regarding her investments which as of 2022, are estimated to total approximately $127 million.

As her talk show was beginning, Oprah first purchased a condominium in Chicago's [[Water Tower Place]] in 1985, before purchasing the condos adjoining and directly below it in 1992, 1993, and 1994, respectively. In 1988, she purchased an 164-acre property including main and guest residences, orchard, and stables in [[Rolling Prairie, Indiana]] as her weekend refuge. In 1992, she purchased an 80-acre compound in [[Telluride, Colorado]], which she would go on to sell in approximately late 2000. In 1994, she also purchased an apartment at the [[Four Seasons Hotel Chicago]]. Between 1996 and 2000 she purchased a total of five condos in different development areas of [[Fisher Island, Florida]]. In 2000, through her Chicago-based LLC Overground Railroad, Oprah purchased her friend [[Gayle King]] an estate in [[Greenwich, Connecticut]]. In 2001, Oprah sold all five of her Fisher Island condos and purchased what would become her "main home base" she has also called "The Promised Land" (where she currently lives as of 2022), a (then) 42-acre (17 ha) estate with ocean and mountain views in [[Montecito, California]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 29, 2001 |title=Oprah buying 40-acre estate in California |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2001-04-29-0104290208-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106211925/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2001-04-29-0104290208-story.html |archive-date=November 6, 2022 |access-date=November 6, 2022 |website=[[Chicago Tribune]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Zap |first=Claudine |date=November 14, 2019 |title=She Gets a House!

Additionally that year, she also purchased homes in both [[Elmwood Park, Illinois]] and [[Merrillville, Indiana]] for other family members and friends. Similarly, in 2002, she purchased her father's home in [[Franklin, Tennessee]] and a lakefront condo in [[Milwaukee]], [[Wisconsin]].

In 2005, she purchased a home in [[Douglasville, Georgia]] which was gifted in 2011 to a family member.

In 2006, Oprah purchased a co-op apartment along [[Lake Shore Drive]] in downtown Chicago, reportedly with plans to permanently move there from her prior adjoined-condo unit in Water Tower Place for the duration of her show; for reasons unknown, the property sat entirely unused until she sold it in 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 20, 2015 |title=Oprah Winfrey sells Water Tower condo for $4.6 million |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/elite-street/ct-oprah-winfrey-condo-elite-street-1121-biz-20151120-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106145616/https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/elite-street/ct-oprah-winfrey-condo-elite-street-1121-biz-20151120-story.html |archive-date=November 6, 2022 |access-date=November 6, 2022 |website=[[Chicago Tribune]] |language=en-US}}</ref> In 2008, she sold her penthouse apartment in Atlanta. That year, she also listed Gayle King's estate and purchased her (through her second LLC Sophie's Penthouse) a penthouse apartment in midtown [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]] which would later be sold in 2012.

In early 2014, she listed her combined-unit Chicago duplex on the market. Later that year, Oprah came back to [[Telluride, Colorado]] to purchase a 60-acre lot with plans to build on the property. A lawsuit filed against her that year by a retired nuclear physicist living in the area regarding trail access rights was dismissed later that year with the judge citing little case law to support his case, among other issues. The extent of the agreement between all the parties and jurisdictions regarding her subsequent development on the property remains undisclosed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 1, 2014 |title=MV trails case dismissed |url=https://www.telluridenews.com/news/article_19ee2863-83f7-5bad-b0e1-7b08e72b203f.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106150355/https://www.telluridenews.com/news/article_19ee2863-83f7-5bad-b0e1-7b08e72b203f.html |archive-date=November 6, 2022 |access-date=November 6, 2022 |website=[[Telluride Daily Planet]] |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2015, Oprah purchased another property in Telluride, and later that year, expanded her Montecito compound with another 23-acre estate and yet another 44-acre dedicated crop and equestrian preserve. That year she also sold both of her downtown Chicago homes.

In 2018, Oprah obtained two adjoining parcels of land totaling 23 acres including the Madroneagle compound on [[Orcas Island]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]] and sold her last home property in the Chicago area from Elmwood Park.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 19, 2018 |title=Oprah sells final piece of Chicago-area real estate: 4-bedroom Elmwood Park home |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/elite-street/ct-re-elite-street-oprah-elmwood-park-20181018-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106183233/https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/elite-street/ct-re-elite-street-oprah-elmwood-park-20181018-story.html |archive-date=November 6, 2022 |access-date=November 6, 2022 |website=[[Chicago Tribune]] |language=en-US}}</ref> In late 2019, Oprah yet again expanded her Montecito home-base compound, this time to 70 contiguous acres, with the purchase of a four-acre complex from actor [[Jeff Bridges]].

===Romantic history===
Winfrey's high school sweetheart Anthony Otey recalled an innocent courtship that began in Winfrey's senior year of high school, from which he saved hundreds of love notes; Winfrey conducted herself with dignity and was a model student.{{sfnp|Mair|1995|pp=28–29}} The two spoke of getting married, but Otey claimed to have always secretly known that Winfrey was destined for a far greater life than he could ever provide.{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=30}} She broke up with him on Valentine's Day of her senior year.{{sfnp|Mair|1995|pp=30-31}}

In 1971, several months after breaking up with Otey, Winfrey met William "Bubba" Taylor at Tennessee State University. According to CBS journalist George Mair, Taylor was Winfrey's "first intense, to-die-for love affair". Winfrey helped get Taylor a job at WVOL, and according to Mair, "did everything to keep him, including literally begging him on her knees to stay with her".{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=33}} Taylor, however, was unwilling to leave Nashville with Winfrey when she moved to Baltimore to work at WJZ-TV in June 1976. "We really did care for each other," Winfrey would later recall. "We shared a deep love. A love I will never forget."{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=43}}

In the 1970s, Winfrey had a romantic relationship with [[John Tesh]]. Biographer [[Kitty Kelley]] claims that Tesh split with Winfrey over the pressures of an interracial relationship.<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 12, 2010 |title=Oprah and John Tesh Briefly Dated, Lived Together, New Book Claims |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/oprah-and-john-tesh-briefly-dated-lived-together-new-book-claims |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240607163822/https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/oprah-and-john-tesh-briefly-dated-lived-together-new-book-claims |archive-date=June 7, 2024 |access-date=April 13, 2010 |publisher=Fox News Channel}}</ref>

When WJZ-TV management criticized Winfrey for crying on air while reporting tragedies and were unhappy with her physical appearance (especially when her hair fell out as a result of a bad perm), Winfrey turned to reporter Lloyd Kramer for comfort. "Lloyd was just the best," Winfrey would later recall. "That man loved me even when I was bald! He was wonderful. He stuck with me through the whole demoralizing experience. That man was the most fun romance I ever had."<ref>{{harv |Mair|1995|p=47}}</ref>

According to Mair, when Kramer moved to NBC in New York, Winfrey had a love affair with a married man who had no intention of leaving his wife.<ref>{{harvp|Mair|1995|p=49}}: "the major problem with this intense love affair arose from her lover's being married, with no plans to leave his wife".</ref> Winfrey would later recall: "I'd had a relationship with a man for four years. I wasn't living with him. I'd never lived with anyone—and I thought I was worthless without him. The more he rejected me, the more I wanted him. I felt depleted, powerless. At the end, I was down on the floor on my knees groveling and pleading with him".{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=49}} Winfrey became so depressed that on September 8, 1981, she wrote a suicide note to best friend [[Gayle King]] instructing King to water her plants.{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=49}} "That suicide note had been much overplayed" Winfrey told ''[[Ms. (magazine)|Ms.]]'' magazine. "I couldn't kill myself. I would be afraid the minute I did it, something really good would happen and I'd miss it."{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=50}}

According to Winfrey, her emotional turmoil gradually led to a weight problem: "The reason I gained so much weight in the first place and the reason I had such a sorry history of abusive relationships with men was I just needed approval so much. I needed everyone to like me, because I didn't like myself much. So I'd end up with these cruel self-absorbed guys who'd tell me how selfish I was, and I'd say 'Oh thank you, you're so right' and be grateful to them. Because I had no sense that I deserved anything else. Which is also why I gained so much weight later on. It was the perfect way of cushioning myself against the world's disapproval."{{sfnp|Mair|1995|p=50}}

Winfrey later confessed to smoking [[crack cocaine]] with a man she was romantically involved with during the same era. She explained on her show: "I always felt that the drug itself is not the problem but that I was addicted to the man." She added: "I can't think of anything I wouldn't have done for that man."<ref name="Jet">{{Cite news |date=January 30, 1995 |title=Oprah reveals on her show she smoked crack cocaine during her 20s |url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n12_v87/ai_16404541 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081208105953/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n12_v87/ai_16404541 |archive-date=December 8, 2008 |access-date=August 25, 2008 |work=Jet}} Archived at FindArticles in 2004.</ref>

Winfrey was allegedly involved in a second drug-related love affair. Self-proclaimed former boyfriend Randolph Cook said they lived together for several months in 1985 and did drugs.

In the mid-1980s, Winfrey briefly dated movie critic [[Roger Ebert]], whom she credits with advising her to take her show into syndication.<ref name="Ebert-How" />

In 1985, before Winfrey's Chicago talk show had gone national, Haitian filmmaker Reginald Chevalier claims he appeared as a guest on a look-alike segment and began a relationship with Winfrey involving romantic evenings at home, candlelit baths, and dinners with [[Michael Jordan]] and [[Danny Glover]]. Chevalier says Winfrey ended the relationship when she met [[Stedman Graham]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 17, 2011 |title=EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Stedman Stole Oprah From Me, Secret Lover Tells Radar |url=http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/02/exclusive-interview-stedman-stole-oprah-me-secret-lover-tells-radar |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110220044218/http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/02/exclusive-interview-stedman-stole-oprah-me-secret-lover-tells-radar |archive-date=February 20, 2011 |access-date=February 23, 2011 |publisher=radaronline.com}}</ref>

===Close friends===

Winfrey's best friend since their early twenties is [[Gayle King]]. King was formerly the host of ''The Gayle King Show'' and is currently an editor of ''O, the Oprah Magazine''. Since 1997, when Winfrey played the therapist on an episode of the sitcom ''[[Ellen (TV series)|Ellen]]'' in which [[Ellen DeGeneres]] came out of the closet, Winfrey and King have been the target of persistent rumors that they were gay. "I understand why people think we're gay," Winfrey says in the August 2006 issue of ''O'' magazine. "There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it—how can you be this close without it being sexual?"<ref name="Not Gay">{{Cite web |last=Lehner |first=Marla |date=July 18, 2006 |title=Oprah: Gayle and I Are Not Gay |url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,26334,1215402,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070421013629/http://www.people.com/people/article/0%2C26334%2C1215402%2C00.html |archive-date=April 21, 2007 |access-date=August 25, 2008 |website=People}}</ref> "I've told nearly everything there is to tell.

In 2005, Winfrey was named the greatest woman in American history as part of a public poll as part of ''[[The Greatest American]]''. She was ranked No. 9 overall on the list of greatest Americans.

Like a family member, it sits down to meals with us and talks to us in the lonely afternoons. Grasping this paradox, ... She makes people care because she cares.

====Daytime talk show's impact on LGBT people====
While [[Phil Donahue]] has been credited with pioneering the tabloid talk show genre, Winfrey's warmth, intimacy, and personal confession popularized and changed it.<ref name="TIME 100 1998" /><ref name="Coming Afer Oprah" /> Her success at popularizing the tabloid talk show genre opened up a thriving industry that has included ''[[Ricki Lake (TV series)|Ricki Lake]]'', ''[[The Jenny Jones Show]]'', and ''[[The Jerry Springer Show]]''.

In the book's editorial review, [[Michael Bronski]] wrote, "In the recent past, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people had almost no presence on television. With the invention and propagation of tabloid talk shows such as ''[[The Jerry Springer Show|Jerry Springer]]'', ''[[The Jenny Jones Show|Jenny Jones]]'', ''Oprah'', and ''[[Geraldo Rivera|Geraldo]]'', people outside the sexual mainstream now appear in living rooms across America almost every day of the week."<ref name="FTP Amazon">Gamson, Joshua (1999) University Of Chicago Press {{ISBN|0-226-28065-9}}</ref> Gamson credits the tabloid talk show with making alternative sexual orientations and identities more acceptable in mainstream society. Examples include a ''Time'' magazine article{{page needed|date=January 2017}} on early 21st-century gays [[coming out]] of the closet at an increasingly younger age and on plummeting [[gay suicide]] rates. Gamson also believes that tabloid talk shows caused gays to be accepted on more traditional forms of media.

In April 1997, Winfrey played the therapist in "[[The Puppy Episode]]" on the sitcom ''[[Ellen (TV series)|Ellen]]'' to whom the character (and the real-life [[Ellen DeGeneres]]) came out as a lesbian.

The segment focused on new books and classics and often brought obscure novels to popular attention. The book club became such a powerful force that whenever Winfrey introduced a new book as her book-club selection, it instantly became a best-seller; for example, when she selected the classic [[John Steinbeck]] novel ''[[East of Eden (novel)|East of Eden]]'', it soared to the top of the book charts.

In 2007, Winfrey began to endorse the self-help program ''[[The Secret (2006 film)|The Secret]]''. ''The Secret'' claims that people can change their lives through positive thoughts or 'vibrations', which will then cause them to attract more positive vibrations that result in good things happening to them. Peter Birkenhead of ''[[Salon (website)|Salon]]'' magazine argued that this idea is [[pseudoscience]] and psychologically damaging, as it trivializes important decisions and promotes a quick-fix material culture, and suggests Winfrey's promotion of it is irresponsible given her influence.<ref>Birkenhead, Peter.

Outside the U.S., Winfrey has become increasingly popular in the [[Arab world]].

In 1998, Winfrey created Oprah's Angel Network, a charity that supported charitable projects and provided grants to nonprofit organizations around the world. Oprah's Angel Network raised more than $80 million ($1 million of which was donated by [[Jon Bon Jovi]]). Winfrey personally covered all administrative costs associated with the charity, so 100% of all funds raised went to charity programs.

{{Main|Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls}}
In 2004, Winfrey and her team filmed an episode of her show, "Oprah's Christmas Kindness", in which Winfrey travelled to South Africa to bring attention to the plight of young children affected by poverty and AIDS. During the 21-day trip, Winfrey and her crew visited schools and orphanages in poverty-stricken areas, and distributed Christmas presents to 50,000 children,<ref name="Christmas Kindness">{{Cite web |title=Christmas Kindness |url=http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/ChristmasKindness-Inspiration |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204003048/http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/ChristmasKindness-Inspiration |archive-date=December 4, 2010 |access-date=September 18, 2010 |publisher=Harpo Productions}}</ref> with dolls for the girls and soccer balls for the boys, and school supplies. Throughout the show, Winfrey appealed to viewers to donate money to Oprah's Angel Network for poor and AIDS-affected children in Africa. From that show alone, viewers around the world donated over $7 million. Winfrey invested $40 million and some of her time establishing the [[Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls]] in [[Henley on Klip]] south of [[Johannesburg]], South Africa. The school, set over 22 acres, opened in January 2007 with an enrollment of 150 pupils (increasing to 450) and features state-of-the-art classrooms, computer and science laboratories, a library, a theatre, and a beauty salon. [[Nelson Mandela]] praised Winfrey for overcoming her own disadvantaged youth to become a benefactor for others.

==Etymology==
During the 19th century the area was home to the [[Dum Dum Arsenal]], a British [[Royal Artillery]] facility. It was here that, in the early 1890s, Captain [[Neville Bertie-Clay]] developed a [[bullet]] with the jacket cut away at the tip to reveal its soft lead core (see [[hollow-point bullet]]), known informally as a [[dum-dum]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstworldwar.com/atoz/dumdum.htm|website=First World War.com |title=Dum-Dum Bullet|access-date=30 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.india9.com/i9show/Dum-Dum-62467.htm|title=Dum Dum in Kolkata India|website=India9|access-date=30 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.african-hunter.com/303_british.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080103151053/http://www.african-hunter.com/303_british.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2008|title=303 British|website=African Hunter|date=3 January 2008|access-date=30 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6286562.stm|title=Gun crime: A glossary|date=12 November 2007|access-date=30 December 2019|via=BBC News}}</ref><ref>{{cite encyclopedia| year = 2009 | title = Dum Dum | encyclopedia = Encyclopædia Britannica | url = http://www.search.eb.com/eb/article-9031421| access-date = 18 May 2009}}</ref> or more correctly as an expanding bullet. The previous name of Dum Dum was "Domdoma".

Some resources claim that the Persian word damdama, which means "mound" or "elevated battery", is the source of the word Dum Dum.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Everett-Heath |first=John |url=https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780191882913.001.0001/acref-9780191882913;jsessionid=1EB89C0AAD2F87201D4293DDA3ACD957 |title=The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Place Names |date=2019-10-24 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-188291-3 |language=en-US |doi=10.1093/acref/9780191882913.001.0001}}</ref>

==History==

[[File:St. Patrick's Church, Dum Dum Cantonment.jpg|thumb|St. Patrick's Church, Dum Dum Cantonment]]
[[File:St. Stephen's church, Dum Dum.jpg|thumb|St. Stephen's Church, Dum Dum Cant.]]

In the history of Bengal, Dum Dum holds a very significant place. Dum Dum was sparsely populated before the British came there. The area was slightly elevated. On 6 February 1757, an accord was signed at Dum Dum by the [[Nawab of Bengal]] to allow the British to build forts at Calcutta, [[Dhaka|Dacca]] and [[Cossimbazar|Kashim Bazar]]. In 1783, a cantonment was established at Dum Dum. Military barracks were built and civilians started coming in to provide essential services to the military personnel. A Cantonment Board was formed to provide civic amenities. On 9 February 1822, the foundation stone was blessed and laid for Saint Patrick’s Chapel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rvasia.org/church-asia/india-st-patricks-church-kolkata-celebrates-bi-centenary|title=St. Patrick's Church in Kolkata celebrates bi-centenary|first=Nikhil |last=Gomes |work=RVA News|date=16 February 2023 |access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref> On Good Friday in 1823, the chapel was dedicated and inaugurated with Irish priest M. Murphy as its chaplain. The ordnance factory was established at Dum Dum in 1846. The St. Stephens Church, a Roman Catholic Church Weslyan Chapel and a hospital for treatment of European were established in the central hub of Dum Dum Cantonment of old Dum Dum. It may be noted that both South Dum Dum Municipality and North Dum Dum Municipality were established in 1870 thereby somewhat defining administratively the different parts of an earlier undefined Dum Dum area. subsequently, Dum Dum was enlarged by the amalgamation of Kadihati municipality in 1883.<ref name=history>{{cite web | url = https://dumdummunicipality.wordpress.com/ | title = Dum Dum Municipality | work = Chronicles of Dum Dum | publisher = DDM | access-date = 20 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ordnancedumdum.gov.in/index.php | title = Ordnance Factory Dum Dum | work = History – Dum Dum Story | publisher = OFDD | access-date = 20 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://northdumdummunicipality.org/about/history-of-north-dum-dum-municipality/ | publisher = North Dum Dum municipality | title = About us | access-date = 11 June 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://barrackpore.gov.in/home/south_dumdum_municipality | title = South Dum Dum Municipality | publisher = Barrackpore administration | access-date = 20 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://sylhetiyouthwelfareassociation.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/dum-dum-cantonment/|title=History of Old Dum Dum|work=wordpress.com|date=11 October 2013 |access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Dum-Dum|title=Dum Dum|encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=2 September 2024}}</ref>

Dum Dum was once a separate subdivision from 1861 to 1896. During the early years of the cantonment the British waged several imperial wars, out of which the wars in [[Anglo-Burmese Wars|Burma]], [[Anglo-Nepalese War|Nepal]], the [[Anglo-Mysore wars|Deccan]] and [[Anglo-Afghan War|Afganisthan]] were costly in blood and lives. Two monuments were erected to commemorate their memory. The Afghan War Memorial was built in Dum Dum in 1841 after the British lost the [[First Anglo-Afghan War|first Anglo-Afghan war]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/bengals-183-year-old-tryst-with-afghans/articleshow/85575590.cms|title=Bengal's 183-year-old tryst with Afghans|work=The Times of India|first=Zeeshan |last=Javed |date=August 24, 2021 |access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref> During the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|1857 disturbances]] the Indian sepoys posted at Dum Dum were affected and [[Mangal Pandey]] was hanged from a tree at Dum Dum (his dead body was probably hanged at both Barrackpore and Dum Dum Cantonment). Dum Dum Cantonment was closed down and the Cantonment Board was replaced by Dum Dum Municipality in 1929. The temporary set back to Dum Dum arising from abolition of the cantonment and departure of British troops, was partially made up with the shifting of [[Jessop & Company|Jessop & Co.]] from Howrah to Dum Dum in 1928 and establishment of the Gramophone Company at Dum Dum in 1929. Bengal Flying Club, established in 1920, had a small fleet of single engine moth planes. The independence movement led to the sudden development of the Central Jail, where many top leaders and more numerous unknown patriots were lodged. The old military barracks made way for multi-storied jail barracks. The environment quite often reverberated with the chanting of ''[[Vande Mataram]]''.<ref name=history/>

With the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]] in 1947, "millions of refugees poured in from erstwhile [[East Pakistan]]."<ref>{{cite book |last=Chatterjee |first=Monideep |chapter=Town Planning in Calcutta: Past, Present and Future |title=Calcutta, The Living City |volume=II |editor-first=Sukanta |editor-last=Chaudhuri |page=142 |orig-date=first published 1990 |year=2005 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0-19-563697-X}}</ref> In the initial stages bulk of the refugees were non-agriculturists. A few of them made their own arrangements, but "it was squatters who made the [[East Bengali refugees]] famous or infamous". Squatting ({{langx|bn|jabardakhal}}) ranged from the forcible occupation of barracks to the collective take-over of private, government and waste land. "This happened as early as 1948 with middle class refugees in the [[Jadavpur#History|Jadavpur]] area: first on government land and then on private property, leading to violent clashes. Having won the battle, the elated squatters named their colony '[[Bijoygarh|Bijaygarh]]', the Fort of Victory."{{attribution needed|date=December 2024}} By 1949, there were 40 such colonies in [[Jadavpur]], [[Kasba, Kolkata|Kasba]], [[Santoshpur, Kolkata|Santoshpur]], [[Garia]] and [[Behala]], in the south-eastern part of the city, and 65 in the Dum Dum and [[Panihati]] zone in the north. Subsequently squatters colonies also came up along the west bank of the [[Hooghly River|Hooghly]] and by 1950, there were 150 such colonies. It has to be borne in mind that the squatters were in a way "self-settlers" in the absence of adequate official arrangements for rehabilitation. Within a very short time the refugees (quite often with government or administrative support) not only found a place to stay but developed a society with markets, schools, temples and sometimes even colleges, hospitals and recreational centres.<ref>{{cite book |last=Chatterjee |first=Nilanjana |chapter=The East Bengal Refugees: A Lesson in Survival |title=Calcutta, The Living City |volume=II |editor-first=Sukanta |editor-last=Chaudhuri |pages=72–75 |orig-date=first published 1990 |year=2005 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0-19-563697-X}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal| url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271664458 |title = The Myths Refugees Live By: Memory and History of the Making of Bengali Refugee Identity |first=Uditi|last=Sen|journal = Modern Asian Studies|volume = 48|pages = 37–76| access-date = 5 March 2018|doi = 10.1017/S0026749X12000613 |year = 2014 |s2cid = 144297665 }}</ref> Efforts have been made in more recent years to regularise land/property rights in the refugee colonies.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://bangalnama.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/the-refugee-city-partition-and-kolkata%E2%80%99s-postcolonial-landscape/ |title = The Refugee City: Partition and Kolkata's Post-colonial landscape| work= Bangalnama |date=31 August 2009| access-date = 13 March 2018}}</ref>{{sps|date=December 2024}}<ref>{{cite journal| url = https://www.academia.edu/2132220|title = Dilemas of Diaspora: Partition, Refugees and the Politics of 'Home'|first = Pablo |last=Bose | journal=Refuge: Canada's Journal on Refugees |year=2006 | pages=58–68 | access-date = 13 March 2018|doi = 10.25071/1920-7336.21344 |doi-access =free }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/4m-refugees-entered-West-Bengal-after-1971/articleshow/660584.cms|title = 4m refugees entered West Bengal after 1971 |work = The Times of India |first=Nirmalya |last=Banerjee | date= 11 August 2000| access-date = 13 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.telegraphindia.com/1080730/jsp/calcutta/story_9620602.jsp| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080920012855/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080730/jsp/calcutta/story_9620602.jsp| url-status = dead| archive-date = 20 September 2008|title = Civic tax net on colony plots |work=Telegraph India |location=Kolkata | publisher= 30 July 2008| access-date = 13 March 2018}}</ref>

[[File:Ordnance Factory Dum Dum - 1846 Ammunition Factory - Jessore Road - Kolkata 2017-08-08 3981.JPG|thumb|Ordnance Factory Dum Dum]]
* '''Ordnance Factory Dum Dum''' is a modern factory with unique high precision machining systems such as [[laser cutting]], [[Numerical control|CNC]]-operated [[injection moulding]] and CNC machines for carrying out stringent quality products. The factory was initiated when [[Robert Clive]] recaptured Calcutta from [[Siraj ud-Daulah]], the Nawab of Bengal, in 1757. It became the first development centre for defence stores in India established by the Royal forces. When the Gun & Shell Factory was established at [[Cossipore]] it worked in tandem with the Gun & Shell Factory at Dum Dum. After the disastrous [[First Anglo-Afghan War]], the first ammunition factory in British India was set up here.

==Production==
[['Punnagai Poo' Gheetha]] readily agreed to finance the venture after Vijayapadma approached her with the script, as she was keen to make off-beat ventures.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/feb-11-01/narthagi-%E2%80%98punnagai-poo%E2%80%99-geetha-07-02-11.html|title=Gv Prakash Does It In 30 Mins - Narthaki - 'punnagai Poo' Geetha - Vijaya Padma - Kalki - Tamil Movie News - Behindwoods.com|author=|date=|work=behindwoods.com}}</ref> The movie was shot for a period of two months in places such as Thanjavur, Thiruvaiyaru, Mumbai and Chennai. The film's lead performer, Kalki Subramaniam, revealed that the script was derived from the real life incidents of transgender people. The team were initially upset that the film was awarded an "A" certificate, but were unable to change the decision of the censor board.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Transgenders-enraged-with-Censor-Board/articleshow/7267021.cms|title=Transgenders enraged with Censor Board|author=|date=14 January 2017|work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/protest-against-film-getting-a-certificate-news-tamil-lbknCpidihjsi.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317002506/http://www.sify.com/movies/protest-against-film-getting-a-certificate-news-tamil-lbknCpidihjsi.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-03-17|title=Protest against film getting 'A' certificate|author=|date=|work=Sify}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/mar-11-01/narthaki-gv-prakash-kumar-04-03-11.html|title=Narthaki By March 25 - Narthaki - Gv Prakash Kumar - G Vijaya Padma - Punnagai Poo Geetha - Tamil Movie News - Behindwoods.com|author=|date=|work=behindwoods.com}}</ref>

==Release==
The film opened to mixed reviews in May 2011. Rediff.com noted "if anything, it's the screenplay that falters at many places" and "the pace lags and picks up randomly", with "the dialogues, while trying to sound honest, appear quite clichéd at times and trite". The reviewer however adds that ''Narthaki'' "attempts to break new ground and address the pain of a community that has suffered for ages" and that "it showcases the fact that humanity needs to rise above such prejudices and accord transgenders the respect they deserve and for that, it needs to be watched".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-narthagi/20110513.htm|title=Review: Narthagi is a courageous attempt|author=|date=13 May 2011|work=Rediff}}</ref> Similarly Behindwoods.com gave it a single star out of five, but added it is "an attempt that needs to be encouraged" and that "it is worth noticing since it provided answers for many questions among the general public that have very little information about the sexual minorities."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/may-11-03/narthagi-review.html|title=NARTHAKI REVIEW - NARTHAKI MOVIE REVIEW|author=|date=|work=behindwoods.com}}</ref> ''Narthagi'' shared the Best Social Awareness Award at the 2012 [[Norway Tamil Film Festival Awards]].

''The Sydney Herald'' was founded in 1831 by three employees of the now-defunct ''[[Sydney Gazette]]'': Ward Stephens, Frederick Stokes, and [[William McGarvie]]. A Centenary Supplement (since digitised) was published in 1931.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/cqstatic/gj1ymc/centenary%20%281%29.pdf|title=The Sydney Morning Herald Centenary Supplement 1831 – April 18th – 1931|date=1831|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=20 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160921181405/http://www.smh.com.au/cqstatic/gj1ymc/centenary%20%281%29.pdf|archive-date=21 September 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> The original four-page weekly had a print run of 750. The newspaper began to publish daily in 1840, and the operation was purchased in 1841 by an Englishman named [[John Fairfax]] who renamed it ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' the following year.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Sydney-Morning-Herald|title=The Sydney Morning Herald {{!}} Australian newspaper|work=[[Encyclopedia Britannica]]|access-date=4 September 2017|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904212804/https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Sydney-Morning-Herald|archive-date=4 September 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> Fairfax, whose family were to control the newspaper for almost 150 years, based his editorial policies "upon principles of candour, honesty and honour. We have no wish to mislead; no interest to gratify by unsparing abuse or indiscriminate approbation".{{citation needed|date=August 2025}}

[[Donald Murray (inventor)|Donald Murray]], who invented a predecessor of the [[teleprinter]], worked at the ''Herald'' during the 1890s.<ref name="ATM-C">[http://oztypewriter.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/new-zealands-donald-murray-father-of.html New Zealand's Donald Murray: The Father of the Remote Typewriter] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180407221357/http://oztypewriter.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/new-zealands-donald-murray-father-of.html |date=7 April 2018 }}, Australian Typewriter Museum, [[Canberra]], 9 March 2012; accessed 10 March 2012</ref> A weekly "Page for Women" was added in 1905, edited by [[Theodosia Ada Wallace]].<ref name=adb>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/wallace-theodosia-ada-13234 |encyclopedia=Australian Dictionary of Biography |title=Wallace, Theodosia Ada (1872–1953) |last=Arrowsmith |first=Robyn |year=2005 |access-date=14 October 2014}}</ref>

The ''SMH'' was late to the trend of printing news rather than just advertising on the front page, doing so from 15 April 1944. Of the country's metropolitan dailies, only ''[[The West Australian]]'' was later in making the switch. The newspaper launched a Sunday edition, ''The Sunday Herald'', in 1949. Four years later, this was merged with the newly acquired ''Sun'' newspaper to create ''The Sun-Herald'', which continues to this day.{{citation needed|date=August 2025}}

By the mid-1960s, a new competitor had appeared in Rupert Murdoch's national daily ''[[The Australian]]'', which was first published on 15 July 1964.{{citation needed|date=August 2025}}

John Fairfax & Sons Limited commemorated the Herald's 150th anniversary in 1981 by presenting the [[City of Sydney]] with Stephen Walker's sculpture ''Tank Stream Fountain''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tank Stream Fountain {{!}} City Art Sydney|url=https://www.cityartsydney.com.au/artwork/tank-stream-fountain/|access-date=2021-08-25|website=www.cityartsydney.com.au|archive-date=25 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825043530/https://www.cityartsydney.com.au/artwork/tank-stream-fountain/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1995, the company launched the newspaper's web edition, ''smh.com.au''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/|title=Australian Breaking News Headlines & World News Online|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=23 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110223223429/http://www.smh.com.au/|archive-date=23 February 2011|url-status=live}}</ref> The site has since grown to include interactive and multimedia features beyond the content in the print edition. Around the same time, the organisation moved from Jones Street to new offices at Darling Park and built a new printing press at [[Chullora]], in the city's west. The ''SMH'' later moved with other Sydney Fairfax divisions to a building at Darling Island.{{citation needed|date=August 2025}}

In May 2007, [[Fairfax Media]] announced it would be moving from a [[broadsheet]] format to the smaller [[compact (newspaper)|compact]] or [[Tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid-size]], in the footsteps of ''[[The Times]]'', for both ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' and ''The Age''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/smage-journos-must-adapt/story-e6frg996-1111113457677 |title='Smage' journos must adapt |newspaper=[[The Australian]]|access-date = 5 July 2011 |date=3 May 2007 |last=Tabakoff|first=Nick}}</ref> After abandoning these plans later in the year, Fairfax Media again announced in June 2012 its plan to shift both broadsheet newspapers to tabloid size, with effect from March 2013.<ref>{{cite news|last=Souter|first=Gavin|title=History makes way for compact future|url=http://www.smh.com.au/national/history-makes-way-for-compact-future-20130228-2f8xj.html|access-date=1 March 2013|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=1 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302155321/http://www.smh.com.au/national/history-makes-way-for-compact-future-20130228-2f8xj.html|archive-date=2 March 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> Fairfax also announced it would cut staff across the entire group by 1,900 over three years and erect [[paywall]]s around the papers' websites.<ref name=digital>{{cite web| last=Zappone| first=Chris| title=Fairfax to shed 1900 staff, erect paywalls| url=http://www.smh.com.au/business/fairfax-to-shed-1900-staff-erect-paywalls-20120618-20ix1.html| work=The Sydney Morning Herald| date=18 June 2012| access-date=18 June 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120619054053/http://www.smh.com.au/business/fairfax-to-shed-1900-staff-erect-paywalls-20120618-20ix1.html| archive-date=19 June 2012| url-status=live}}</ref> The subscription type was to be a [[freemium]] model, limiting readers to a number of free stories per month, with a payment required for further access.<ref name="subscription model">{{cite news| url=http://www.smh.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/fairfax-moves-to-freemium-model-20120618-20jgq.html| title=Fairfax moves to 'freemium' model| last=Simpson| first=Kirsty| date=18 June 2012| work=The Sydney Morning Herald| access-date=18 June 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620214628/http://www.smh.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/fairfax-moves-to-freemium-model-20120618-20jgq.html| archive-date=20 June 2012| url-status=live}}</ref> The announcement was part of an overall "digital first" strategy of increasingly [[digital content|digital]] or [[online]] content over printed delivery, to "increase sharing of editorial content," and to assist the management's wish for "full integration of its online, print and mobile platforms."<ref name=digital/>

In June 2022, the paper received global coverage and backlash to an attempted [[outing]] of Australian actress [[Rebel Wilson]] by columnist Andrew Hornery, and the subsequent defence of his since-deleted column by editor Bevan Shields; Wilson pre-empted the Hornery disclosure with an [[Instagram]] post confirming her relationship.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jun/18/bad-press-the-rebel-wilson-debacle-that-rocked-smh-to-its-core|title=Bad press: the Rebel Wilson debacle that rocked SMH to its core|last=Meade|first=Amanda|date=17 June 2022|website=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=19 June 2022|archive-date=19 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619000510/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jun/18/bad-press-the-rebel-wilson-debacle-that-rocked-smh-to-its-core|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/13/our-reputation-is-trashed-anonymous-staffer-criticises-smh-management-over-rebel-wilson-coverage|title='Our reputation is trashed': anonymous staffer criticises SMH management over Rebel Wilson coverage|last=Meade|first=Amanda|ref=none|date=13 June 2022|website=[[Guardian Australia|The Guardian]]|access-date=14 June 2022|archive-date=13 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613212514/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/13/our-reputation-is-trashed-anonymous-staffer-criticises-smh-management-over-rebel-wilson-coverage|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/14/whoopi-goldberg-joins-international-backlash-against-sydney-morning-heralds-treatment-of-rebel-wilson|title=Whoopi Goldberg joins international backlash over Sydney Morning Herald's treatment of Rebel Wilson|last=Shepherd|first=Tory|date=14 June 2022|website=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=14 June 2022|archive-date=14 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220614054540/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/14/whoopi-goldberg-joins-international-backlash-against-sydney-morning-heralds-treatment-of-rebel-wilson|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Myall Creek coverage and apology ===
As ''The Sydney Herald'', the newspaper's editorial stance at times reflected racist attitudes within the colony, with the paper urging [[Squatting (Australian history)|squatters]] across Australia to emulate the mass killing of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]]. The front page of the paper on 26 December 1836 read: "If nothing but extermination will do, they ''will'' exterminate the savages as they would wild beasts."<ref>''The Sydney Herald'', 26 December 1836, p. 1.</ref> In the wake of the [[Myall Creek massacre]] in which at least twenty-eight unarmed [[Wirraayaraay]] men, women and children were murdered by a group of white stockmen, the paper published a long letter from a squatter in defence the killings.<ref>[[David Marr (journalist)|David Marr]], ''Killing for Country'' (2023) Black Inc., p. 86. {{ISBN|9781760642730}}</ref> The squatter described the Indigenous inhabitants of Australia as "the most degenerate, despicable, and brutal race of beings in existence", writing: "they will, and must become extinct – civilization destroys them – where labor and industry flourish, ''they'' die!"<ref>''The Sydney Herald'', 19 September 1838, p. 4.</ref> The ''Herald''<nowiki/>'s editorialisation on the trials contrasted with other newspapers which were more respectful on the matter and on the notion of [[Aboriginal Australians]] being protected under the law as British subjects, the same as settlers. In 2023, the paper apologised for its coverage of the massacre and the subsequent trials of the perpetrators.<ref>{{Cite news|department=The Herald's View|date=2023-06-09 |title=The Herald has a proud history of telling Australia's story.

==Ownership==
{{main|Nine Entertainment|Fairfax Media|Conrad Black}}

Fairfax went public in 1957 and grew to acquire interests in magazines, radio, and television. The group collapsed spectacularly on 11 December 1990 when [[Warwick Fairfax]], who was the great-great-grandson of John Fairfax, attempted to privatise the group by borrowing $1.8 billion. The group was bought by [[Conrad Black]] before being re-listed in 1992. In 2006, Fairfax announced a merger with [[Rural Press]], which brought in a Fairfax family member, John B. Fairfax, as a significant player in the company.<ref>{{cite book | author=Ruth Park | author-link=Ruth Park | title=Ruth Park's Sydney | publisher=Duffy & Snellgrove | year=1999 | isbn=978-1-875989-45-4}}</ref> From 10 December 2018, Fairfax Media merged into [[Nine Entertainment]], making the paper a sister to the [[Nine Network]]'s [[TCN]] station.<ref>{{Cite news |last=McDuling |first=John |date=7 December 2018 |title=What does the Nine-Fairfax merger mean? |url=https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/what-does-the-nine-fairfax-merger-mean-20181204-p50k1o.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=9 March 2024 |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |publisher=[[Nine Publishing]] |language=en-AU}}</ref> This reunited the paper with a television station; Fairfax had been the founding owner of [[ATN]], which became the flagship of what became the [[Seven Network]].

==Content==
===Column 8===
'''Column 8''' is a short [[column (periodical)|column]] to which ''Herald'' readers send their observations of interesting happenings. It was first published on 11 January 1947.<ref name = "ANHG26">{{cite journal | title = 26.19 Granny George calls it a day| journal = Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter | issue =26 | pages = 5 | date=February 2004 | url = http://www.uq.edu.au/journ-comm/docs/pastissues/anhg26.pdf | access-date = 15 January 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080216025302/http://www.uq.edu.au/journ-comm/docs/pastissues/anhg26.pdf  |archive-date = 16 February 2008}}</ref> The name comes from the fact that it originally occupied the final (8th) column of the [[broadsheet]] newspaper's front page. In a front-page redesign in the lead-up to the [[2000 Summer Olympics|Sydney Olympic Games]] in 2000, Column 8 moved to the back page of the first section from 31 July 2000.<ref name="ANHG8">{{cite journal | title = 8.37 Changes in the ''Herald'': Who will make me smile before breakfast? | journal = Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter | issue = 8 | pages = 17–18 | date = August 2000 | url = http://eprint.uq.edu.au/archive/00000020/01/anjh08.PDF | access-date = 15 January 2008 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120415103040/http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/eserv/UQ%3A11348/anjh08.PDF | archive-date = 15 April 2012}}</ref> As at February 2024, the column is the final column on the Opinion (editorial and letters) pages.

The content tends to the quirky, typically involving strange urban occurrences, instances of confusing signs (often in [[Engrish]]), [[word play]], and discussion of more or less esoteric topics.<ref name = "ANHG41">{{cite journal | title = 41.26 Has the world gone mad? Column 8 at 60 | journal = Australian Newspaper History Group Newsletter | issue = 41 | pages = 8 | date = February 2007 | url = http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/eserv.php?pid=UQ:12845&dsID=anhg41_07.pdf | access-date = 15 January 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080216025300/http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/eserv.php?pid=UQ:12845&dsID=anhg41_07.pdf | archive-date = 16 February 2008 | url-status = live}}</ref>

'''''Neelakanta''''' is a 2006 Indian [[Kannada language]] [[romantic drama film]] directed by [[Om Sai Prakash]] and starring [[Ravichandran (Kannada actor)|V. Ravichandran]], [[Namitha]] and [[Sridevika]].<ref>{{cite web |date=2006 |title=Full-time acting for Ravichandran |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/full-time-acting-for-ravichandran/story-OCFH2YvRvfepK7IM67nzQK.html |website=[[Hindustan Times]] |publisher= |via= |agency=[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]]}}</ref> It is a remake of the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] film ''[[Aranmanai Kili]]'' (1993).<ref name=":0" /> The music was composed by Ravichandran.

== Plot ==
The film has the shades of his film 'Usire' and a Telugu film. Yet the film is tolerable because of the light up moment of glitz and glamour the mainstay of all Ravichandran films.

Just as lord [[Shiva]] swallows the fearful poison [[Halahala]] and, with the help of his wife [[Parvati]], neutralises it in his throat, so the protagonist of 'Neelakanta' swallows all the difficulties that beset him on his way, in order to remain obedient to his Master, his Mother and his wife, Madadhi. Neelakanta can give solution to any problems of his surroundings but he goes blank for his own problems. His mother disagrees to his accidental marriage and asks him not to see her face. On the other hand, his wife on compulsion suspects Neelanakanta to the extreme. That is because of Ganga in the house who has been brought to the house in her most difficult condition by Neelakanta. With no happiness around for him Neelakanta problems slowly dilute when his mother narrate the past of Neelakanta's master. How his wife Ganga change her track, what happens to Gowri, the sad end of mother and Neelakanta not able to see his mother, the putting down of goons in the meantime are all the remaining portions in the second half.

==Plot==
The movie begins in college, with the district collector awarding Srinivas alias Cheenu and asking him to share his success story with everybody. Cheenu is an honest and studious village guy who hails from a poor farmer's family. Despite his friends' attempts to sway him towards the lusty distractions of adolescence, he stands his ground and tries to persuade them to follow his path. Lakshmi is the second daughter of a Zamindar also from the same village who studies at the same college as Cheenu. Despite their hatred for each other at the beginning, they end up falling for each other after a lot of melodrama. Lakshmi's brother-in-law (her elder sister's husband) lusts for her and tries to inherit their fortune by marrying both the Zamindar's daughters. He tries to beat Cheenu to death when everybody finds about their love affair. In an attempt to escape Prithviraj, the couple seeks protection from the district collector, who assures them that she would help them marry each other after they finish their education. The movie ends with a tedious action episode between Cheenu and Prithviraj and the title rolls.

==Reception==
Reviewing Tamil version, ''Chennai Online'' wrote "The message for the younger generation is to have a focus in life and work towards it. The idea has been fairly neatly weaved in. But the situations are oft-told ones, and are narrated in a manner that was done a decade or more ago".<ref name=co /> ''Bizhat'' wrote "Raja Rajah has been a tad afraid to experiment. He has kept himself to well-stated positions and has tried to operate from within that. He has done justice to what he has attempted. But he has not done anything novel.".<ref name=bh /> Lajjavathi of ''Kalki'' felt the film would have been a good lesson for the youth if the screenplay had been made stronger.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Kalki|language=ta|access-date=6 April 2024|url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2006-10-22/page/n43/mode/2up|date=22 October 2006|page=42|title=இளவட்டம்|last=லஜ்ஜாவதி }}</ref> ''Cinesouth'' wrote "Having gone overboard in his story and screenplay, director AR Rajaraja might as well as titled 'Ilavattam' as 'Kaattam'".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ilavattam.shtml|title=Ilavattam|website=Cinesouth|access-date=22 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115073226/http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ilavattam.shtml|archive-date=15 November 2006}}</ref>

'''Daman''' ({{ipa|hi|d̪əmən|ipa}}) is a city and the administrative capital of the [[India]]n [[union territory]] of [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu]]. It is a [[municipal council]] situated in the [[Daman district, India|Daman district]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-03 |title=Daman {{!}} India, Map, Population, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Daman |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref>

The [[Daman Ganga River]] divides Daman into: Nani-Daman (Little Daman) and Moti-Daman (Big Daman). Despite its name, Nani-Daman is the larger of the two parts, while the old city is mainly in Moti-Daman. This holds most of the important entities, like the major hospitals, supermarkets, and major residential areas. [[Vapi]], Gujarat, is the nearest city to Daman.<ref>{{Cite web |title="NANI DAMAN", the commercial face of Daman. |url=https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297600-d4155051-r272121342-Nani_Daman-Daman_Daman_and_Diu.html |access-date=2024-05-13 |website=Tripadvisor.com}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The name "Daman" comes from the Daman Ganga River, while Diu is from the Sanskrit word dvipa, meaning “island.” From Mauryan times (4th–2nd century BCE), both were subject to various local and regional powers ruling in western India. In the 13th century Daman formed part of the Ramnagar state, which then became a tributary of the Gujarat sultans. Similarly, numerous dynasties in Kathiawar (Saurashtra) ruled Diu until it fell to the sultan of Gujarat in the early 15th century.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Daman and Diu {{!}} History, Government, Map, & Population {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Daman-and-Diu |access-date=2024-04-24 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref>

A larger fort was built in Moti Daman in the 16th century to guard against the [[Mughals]], who ruled the area until the Portuguese arrived. It stands today, most of it preserved in its original form. Today the majority of the municipal government offices are inside the fort.

Daman was [[1961 Indian annexation of Goa#The attack on Daman|incorporated]] into the [[Republic of India]] in [[December 1961]] after nearly 400 years of Portuguese colonial rule which had largely led to exploitation of the area and native population. After refusal to vacate the occupied territory of mainland India, the Portuguese surrendered before the Indian Army, while some of its Army personnel deserted their posts and escaped to Karachi, Pakistan. The battle left four Indians dead and 14 wounded;<ref>{{cite news |title= The Forgotten Battles of Daman and Diu |author=Anil Shorey |url= http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99feb21/sunday/head3.htm |newspaper= [[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] |date= 21 February 1999 |access-date=18 December 2010}}</ref> Portuguese casualties were 10 dead and two wounded.<ref>Chakravorty, Dr. B.C.

== Climate ==
Daman has a [[tropical savanna climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Aw'') with two distinct seasons: a long, sunny dry season from October to May and a hot, very humid, and extremely wet [[Monsoon of South Asia|monsoon season]] from June to September. Almost no rain falls during the dry season. With milder mornings and lower humidity especially up to the middle of March, this is by far the most comfortable time of the year.

The monsoon season, though relatively short, is extremely wet. Along with the very high humidity and heavy rain every afternoon, travel is difficult and uncomfortable.

==History==

===Pre-Portuguese Goa===
Historically, Konkani was neither the official nor the administrative language of the pre-Portuguese rulers. Under the [[Kadambas]] (c. 960 – 1310), the court language was [[Kannada]]. When under Muslim rule (1312 - 1370 and 1469 - 1510), the official and cultural language was [[Persian language|Persian]]. Various stones in the [[Archaeological Museum and Portrait Gallery]] from the period are inscribed in Kannada and Persian.<ref name="Thomaz 2016">{{cite journal |last1=Thomaz |first1=Luís Filipe F. R. |title=The Socio-Linguistic Paradox of Goa |journal=Human and Social Studies |date=1 October 2016 |volume=5 |issue=3|pages=15–38 |doi=10.1515/hssr-2016-0021|doi-access=free}}</ref> During the period in between the two periods of Muslim rule, the [[Vijayanagara Empire]], which had control of the state, mandated the use of Kannada and [[Telugu language|Telugu]].<ref name="Thomaz 2016" />

===Portuguese Goa===
The [[Konkani language]] had originally been studied and [[Romi Konkani]] was promoted by [[Catholic Christian]] missionaries in Goa, especially by [[Thomas Stephens (Jesuit)|Thomas Stephens]]; as a medium of communication during the 16th century. In the 17th century, the [[Mahratta Confederacy]]'s threat was compounded by their [[Mahratta Invasion of Goa and Bombay|repeated attacks on native Goan Christians and the destruction of local churches]]. This made the Portuguese government initiate a programme for the suppression of Konkani in Goa, in order to make native Catholic Christians identify fully with the [[Portuguese Empire in the East]].<ref name="Machado">{{Cite book |last=Machado |first=Alan |url=http://archive.org/details/sarasvatischildr0000mach |title=Sarasvati's children : a history of the Mangalorean Christians |date=1999 |publisher=I.J.A. Publications |location=Bangalore |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-81-86778-25-8}}</ref> As a result, Konkani was suppressed and rendered unprivileged in Goa by the enforcement of Portuguese.<ref name="Newman">{{cite book |last=Newman |first=Robert S. |date=1999 |title=The Struggle for a Goan Identity |editor-last=Dantas |editor-first=N. |others=The Transformation of Goa |location=Mapusa, Goa |publisher=Other India Press |pages=17–42 |url=https://www.songs-from-goa.at/images/doks/newman_robert_the_struggle_for_goan_identity.pdf}}</ref>

Urged by the [[Franciscan]]s, the Portuguese viceroy forbade the use of Konkani on 27 June 1684; he further decreed that within three years, the local people in general would speak the [[Portuguese language]] and use it in all their contacts and contracts made in [[Portuguese in Goa and Bombay|Portuguese territories]]. The penalties for violation would be imprisonment. The decree was confirmed by the king on 17 March 1687.<ref name="Machado"/> However, according to the [[Goan Inquisition|Inquisitor António Amaral Coutinho]]'s letter to the Portuguese monarch [[John V of Portugal|João V]] in 1731, these draconian measures were unsuccessful.

The fall of the [[Portuguese Bombay|Province of the North]] (today [[Greater Bombay]]), which included [[Bassein (Vasai)]], [[Chaul]] & [[Salsette Island]] in 1739; led to the suppression of Konkani gaining new strength.<ref name="Machado"/> On 21 November 1745, the [[Primate of the East Indies|Archbishop of Goa and Daman]], Lourenço de Santa Maria e Melo of [[Order of Friars Minor|OFM]], decreed that fluency in Portuguese was mandatory for Goan applicants to priesthood & also for all of their immediate relatives. This language fluency would be confirmed via rigorous examinations by ordained priests.<ref name="Machado"/> Furthermore, the ''[[Roman Catholic Brahmin|Bamonns]]'' and ''[[Roman Catholic Kshatriya|Chardos]]'' were required to learn Portuguese within six months, failing which they would be denied the right to marriage.<ref name="Machado"/> The [[Jesuits]] who had historically been the greatest advocates of Konkani, were expelled from Goa by the [[Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal|Marquis of Pombal]] in 1759. In 1812, the Archbishop decreed that children should be prohibited from speaking Konkani in parochial schools. In 1847, this rule was extended to seminaries. In 1869, Konkani was completely banned also in state-run schools until Portugal became a Republic in 1910.<ref name="Machado"/>

The result of this linguistic displacement was that Hindu and Christian elites of Goa turned to Marathi and Portuguese, respectively. Konkani in Goa became the ''língua de criados'' (language of the servants).<ref name="Routledge">{{Cite journal |last=Routledge |first=Paul |date=2000 |title=Consuming Goa: Tourist Site as Dispensable Space |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4409533 |journal=Economic and Political Weekly |volume=35 |issue=30 |pages=2647–2656 |jstor=4409533 |issn=0012-9976}}</ref> However, Konkani continued to have some support among Portuguese government officials. [[Joaquim Heliodoro da Cunha Rivara]] believed that the Portuguese language could be better diffused in Goa by using the local languages, Konkani and [[Marathi language|Marathi]] in particular, as mediums of public instruction. Soon after his arrival in Goa, he asserted this belief in an inaugural conference of the Escola Normal of Nova Goa ([[Panjim]]), on 1 October 1856. The text of this speech may be found in the ''Boletim do Governo'', n.º 78.<ref>{{Cite web |last=de Souza |first=Teotónio Rosário |author-link=Teotónio de Souza |date=22 Feb 2009|title=Nos 200 anos do nascimento do orientalista português Cunha Rivara - Lusofonias |url=https://ciberduvidas.iscte-iul.pt/artigos/rubricas/lusofonias/nos-200-anos-do-nascimento-do-orientalista-portugues-cunha-rivara/2031 |access-date=2024-07-23 |website=Ciberdúvidas |language=pt}}</ref>

Considering Konkani in looming danger of being sidelined, ''Vāman Vardē Śeṇai Vaḷavalikār'', popularly known as ''Śeṇai Goyẽbāb'' (or [[Shenoi Goembab]]) gave a clarion call for the revival of Konkani in the early 20th century. Under his guidance, a steady movement was built up to rejuvenate Konkani language and heritage, by means of establishing a common cultural identity among the Konkani people.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Varde Valavalikar|first=Shenoi V.

===Goa after Indian annexation===

The [[annexation of Goa]] in 1961 saw the official removal of Portuguese and its replacement by English for administrative purposes. Better off Goans, irrespective of their religious beliefs, started sending their wards to English medium schools. Marathi medium schools remained popular with low-caste Hindus, who looked at Marathi with reverence as the language in which Hindu scriptures, translated from Sanskrit could be accessed. A claim about Konkani being a Marathi dialect and Konkani speakers being Marathis began to take shape. Although ''Konkani preserved an older stage of phonetic development, and showed a greater variety of verbal forms than standard Marathi'';<ref name="grierson">{{cite book | title=Linguistic Survey of India.

==Konkani versus Marathi==
The roots of the Konkani Language agitation lay in the denial of Konkani as an independent language and the attempts to merge Goa into Maharashtra. Konkani was not taken seriously as a potential official language except by a few Goans. By 1960, pro-Konkani and pro-Marathi groups started a propaganda war through distribution of pamphlets. In 1962, the All India Konkani Parishad held its eighth session for the first time at'' Maḍgā̃v'' (Margao) in post-liberation Goa and passed a resolution urging the Kendra Sahitya Akademi to recognise Konkani.

The then Chief Minister of Goa, [[Dayanand Bandodkar]], appointed a committee in 1966 to examine the feasibility of declaring Marathi as the sole official language of Goa. Attempts were made by some members of his [[Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party]] (MGP), to pass a Goa, Daman and Diu Official Language Bill in 1966 which failed. Simultaneously, the [[1967 Goa status referendum]] thwarted the MGP's planned merger of Goa into Maharashtra. On 22 August 1970, Bandodkar declared Konkani, written in the Devanagari script, as the official language of Goa along with Marathi.

Dayanand Bandodkar died in 1973, and his daughter [[Shashikala Kakodkar]] became the new Chief Minister of Goa. Under Kakodkar, government policies favouring Marathi were framed. Marathi was made compulsory in all schools in Goa whilst Konkani was excluded. This policy was met with severe criticism from Konkani organisations within Goa and outside. Although promises were made by Kakodkar in 1977 and thereafter by then Congress Chief Minister [[Pratapsingh Rane]] in 1980 to treat Konkani at par with Marathi, the matter was kept in abeyance till 1986.

==Koṅkaṇī Prajētso Āvāz==

In their election manifesto, the Congress party had stated that once statehood was achieved Konkani would be recognised as an official language and demands would be made to include it in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. In 1980, the Congress came into power under Chief Minister [[Pratapsingh Rane]]. Rane, despite the promises made, procrastinated on the issue. This led to an agitation in 1986 on the streets popularly called ''koṅkaṇī prajētso āvāz'' (voice of the Konkani people). Goa witnessed the bloodiest agitation ever, the Language agitation, in which seven pro-Konkani agitators lost their lives and several were injured. The [[civil disobedience]] only halted when the Goa, Daman and Diu Official Language bill was presented to the legislative assembly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Sundayapp/yO371luBUKFCjhQouRcBCK/Konkani-vs-Marathi-Language-battles-in-golden-Goa.html|title=Konkani vs Marathi: Language battles in golden Goa|last=Venkatesh|first=Karthik|date=2017-08-05|website=LiveMint|language=en|access-date=2019-10-25}}</ref>

==Government action==

The Goa, Daman and Diu Official Language bill, presented to the legislative assembly in 1986, was passed on 4 February 1987 declaring Konkani the sole official language of the Union Territory of Goa, Daman and Diu with provisions for Marathi and Gujarati for Daman and Diu. On 30 May 1987 Goa got statehood with Konkani as the sole official language. The Kendra Sahitya Academy recognised Konkani, in the Devanagari script, as an independent language on 26 February 1975. This paved the way for the decision to include Konkani in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution making Konkani one of the official languages of India.

==Karnataka and Kerala==

The struggle for Konkani in Goa, did not go unnoticed in Canara and Travancore. The Konkani speakers in Canara (currently Uttara Kannada, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada) and Travancore (currently Cochin and Ernakulam), inspired by the writings of Shenoi Goembab were getting increasingly aware on the issue of mother tongue.

The first public pro-Konkani gathering was held outside Goa and by non Goan Konkanis. In 1939, the All India Konkani Parishad was founded by the efforts of Manjunath Shanbhag and the first session was held. This was followed by the second session at Udupi organised by T.M.A. Pai. The liberation and subsequent statehood of Goa bolstered Konkani's status in Karnataka. In 1962, the Konkani Bhasha Prachar Sabha, Cochin, took up the issue of inclusion of Konkani in the Eighth schedule with the Government of India and the Linguistic Minorities Commission. In 1976, the Konkani Bhasha Mandali was founded at Mangalore enhance the status of Konkani in the state. In 1994, the Government of Karnataka founded the Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy at Mangalore to propagate Konkani literature. The first Vishwa Konkani Sammelan was held in Mangalore in 1995 wherein 5,000 delegated from 75 centres from India, the middle east, the US, UK, etc. participated.<ref>{{cite journal | title=Brief History of Konkani Movement | author=Bhembre, Uday | journal=Konkani Mirror |date=Oct–Dec 2009 | pages=17}}</ref>

In 2005, the foundation was laid for a [[World Konkani Centre]] to further the cause of Konkani on a global scale. From the academic year 2007–2008, Konkani has become an optional subject in the schools of Karnataka.

'''Shah Turkan''' ({{langx|fa|شاه ترکان}}), ({{langx|ur|شاہ ترکاں}}) was the mother of 13th-century [[Mamluk dynasty (Delhi)|Mamluk]] ruler of the [[Delhi Sultanate]], [[Ruknuddin Firuz]]. She became [[queen mother]] after her son ascended to the throne in 1236.

After the death of Iltutmish, Ruknuddin indulged himself in the pursuit of pleasure and left his mother to handle the affairs of the state. Turkan had been a [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] (enslaved) hand-maid and had risen to take control of the Sultan's harem. She took this opportunity to wreak vengeance against all those who had slighted her in the past. Consequently, Ruknuddin's rule turned unpopular and paved the way for the ascension of [[Razia Sultan]].<ref name="Chandra">{{cite book|last1=Chandra|first1=Satish|title=Medieval India : from Sultanat to the Mughals.|date=2004|publisher=Har-Anand Publications|location=New Delhi|isbn=9788124110645|page=48|edition=Revised|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L5eFzeyjBTQC|accessdate=26 May 2017}}</ref>

==Biography==
Shah Turkan was a slave [[concubinage in Islam|concubine]] of [[Iltutmish]], the [[Mamluk dynasty (Delhi)|Mamluk]] ruler of the [[Delhi Sultanate]]. She gave birth to Iltutmish's son [[Ruknuddin Firuz]]. After the death of Iltutmish, her son succeeded him.

=== Queen Mother of Ruknuddin ===
While Ruknuddin spent his time and the state funds in pursuing pleasure, he left the control of administration to his mother, Shah Turkan.{{sfn|K. A. Nizami|1992|pp=234-235}}

Shah Turkan was originally reputed for charitable and religious donations, but her nature changed after she gained control of the administration; she became extremely spiteful, proud and violent. She mistreated ladies in Iltutmish's harem, and according to Minhaj, "destroyed" several of them. She and Ruknuddin ordered the blinding and killing of Qutubuddin, a young and popular son of Iltutmish, which triggered several rebellions.{{sfn|K. A. Nizami|1992|p=235}}

=== Her son's death and her downfall ===

Ruknuddin marched towards [[Kuhram]] to fight the rebels.{{sfn|K. A. Nizami|1992|p=235}} Meanwhile, in Delhi, his half-sister [[Razia Sultan|Razia]] - whom his mother Shah Turkan had planned to execute - instigated the general public against Shah Turkan at a [[jumu'ah|congregational prayer]]. A mob then attacked the royal palace and detained Shah Turkan. Several nobles and the army pledged allegiance to Razia, and placed her on the throne. Ruknuddin marched back to Delhi, but Razia sent a force to arrest him: he was imprisoned and probably executed on 19 November 1236, having ruled for 6 months and 28 days.{{sfn|K. A.

'''Agrawal Jains''' are an Indian [[Jain community]] who originated from [[Agroha (town)|Agroha]] near [[Hisar (city)|Hisar]]<nowiki/>in what is now the state of [[Haryana]]. In [[Sanskrit]] inscriptions and texts, the community is termed Agrotakanvaya.

==History==
===Agrawal Jains in Delhi===
The Agrawal merchant [[Nattal Sahu]] and the Agrawal poet [[Vibudh Shridhar]] lived during the rule of [[Tomara dynasty|Tomara]] Anangapal of Yoginipur (now Mehrauli, near Delhi).<ref>An Early Attestation of the Toponym Ḍhillī, by Richard J. Cohen, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 1989, p. 513-519</ref> Vibudh Shridhar wrote Pasanahacariu in 1132, which includes a historical account of Yoginipur (early Delhi near [[Mehrauli]]) then.

In 1354, [[Firuz Shah Tughluq]] started the construction of a new city near Agroha called ''Hisar-e Feroza'' "Firuz's Fort". Most of the raw material for building the town was brought from Agroha.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20010818/windows/slice.htm |title=The story of Hisar |publisher=Tribuneindia.com |date=2001-08-18 |access-date=2011-11-12}}</ref> Hisar was a major center of the Agrawal community.

Some Agrawals rose to good positions in Mughal period, specially during [[Akbar]]. [[Sahu Todar]] was a supervisor of the royal mint at [[Agra]], who had rebuilt the 514 [[Jain stupa]]s at [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]] in 1573, during the rule of Akbar.

[[Sah Ranveer Singh]] was a royal treasurer during the rule of Akbar. He established the town [[Saharanpur]]. His father as well as son and grandson had built several Jain temples, including the one at Kucha Sukhanand in [[Delhi]].{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

===Agrawal Jains in Rajput Kingdoms===

In the early 15th century, Agrawals flourished as a trader community under the [[Tomaras of Gwalior]].<ref name="ReferenceB">Kashtha Sangha Bhattarakas of Gwalior and Agrawal Shravakas, Dr. K. C. Jain</ref>{{Page needed|date=September 2013}}

Historian K.C. Jain comments:
{{cquote|Golden Age of the Jain Digambar Church in Gwalior under the Tomara rulers inspired by the Kashtha Bhattarakas and their Jain Agrawal disciples who dominated the Court of father and son viz. Dungar Singh (1425–1459) and Kirti Singh (1459–1480) with the Poet-Laureate [[Raighu]] as their mouthpiece and spokesman, a centenarian author of as many as thirty books, big and small of which two dozen are reported to be extant today. Verify the advent of the Hisar-Firuza-based Jain Agrawals who functioned as the ministers and treasurers of the ruling family had turned the Rajput State of Gwalior into a Digambara Jain Centre par excellence representing the culture of the Agrawal multi-millionner shravakas as sponsored by them.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>}}

In the 15th century, many Agrawals migrated to [[Amer, Rajasthan|Amer]] kingdom (now [[Jaipur]]). In VS 1535, Agrawal Nenasi conducted a [[Panch-kalyanak Pratishtha]] ceremony at [[Sanganer]].<ref>Jain Inscriptions of Rajasthan, R.V. Somani, 1982</ref>{{Page needed|date=September 2013}} A copy of Amarsen Chariu copied in VS 1577 at [[Sonipat]] was found at Amer, suggesting that Agrawals took sacred texts with them during this migration.<ref>Amarasena Chariu, Dr. Kasturchand Jain Suman, 1990</ref>{{Page needed|date=September 2013}}

==Prachin Shri Agarwal Digambar Jain Panchayat==

'''''Bayan al-Quran''''' ({{langx|ur|بیان القرآن}}) is an early 20th-century Urdu translation and [[Tafsir|commentary]] of the ''[[Quran]]'' by [[Ashraf Ali Thanwi]], completed in 1905 and first published in 1908 in twelve volumes from [[Delhi]]. A revised version, titled ''Complete Bayan al-Quran'', was released in 1935. Thanwi developed the work as a direct response to the translations and interpretations of [[Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi]], Mirza Hairat Dehlvi, and [[Syed Ahmad Khan]], whose approaches he disagreed with. The translation is influenced by the works of Shah Abdul Qadir and [[Mahmud Hasan Deobandi]],{{Sfn|Khatoon|2015|p=98}} while the commentary is influenced by ''[[Ruh al-Ma'ani]]''.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=278}} Its key themes include [[hadith]]-based interpretations, [[Fiqh|jurisprudential]] discussions, and [[Sufism|mysticism]]. It also stands out as the first Urdu exegesis to explore the mystical dimensions of [[Āyah|Quranic verses]] in depth.<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Khatoon |first=Uzma |title=A critical study of select Urdu Tafasir of 20th Century |degree=PhD |publisher=Department of Islamic Studies, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/70434 |language=en |pages=74 |year=2015 |location=India |hdl=10603/70434 |archive-date=29 March 2025 |access-date=2 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250329052257/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/70434 |url-status=live }}</ref> The translation and interpretative style of ''Bayan al-Quran'' were later adopted and expanded upon by scholars such as [[Maulana Azad|Abul Kalam Azad]].{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=61}} It served as the primary source for compiling ''[[Tafseer-e-Majidi]]'' and also formed the foundation for ''[[Ma'arif al-Quran]]'', a summarized version of this work.

== Print history ==
During Ashraf Ali Thanwi's era, interest in Urdu translations and commentaries of the ''Quran'' grew significantly.{{Sfn|Tijarvi|2020|p=41}} Factors such as the prevalence of unverified translations, the use of Persian in earlier works, the evolving nature of Urdu, and the general difficulty many [[Islam in India|Muslims]] faced in reading and understanding the ''Quran'' Influenced to this trend, ultimately leading to the compilation of ''Bayan al-Quran''.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=50}} At the time, translations by [[Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi]] and Mirza Hairat Dehlvi were well-known, while [[Syed Ahmad Khan]] had previously produced a translation and commentary.{{Sfn|Tijarvi|2020|p=41}} However, Thanwi viewed these works as containing elements inconsistent with [[Sharia|Islamic teachings]].<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Wahid |first=Md Abdul |title=Tafsir literature in Indian Subcontinent (1901–1971) |date=2001 |degree=PhD |publisher=[[University of Dhaka]] |url=http://reposit.library.du.ac.bd:8080/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/2754/IS%20PhD%20%2833%29.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y |language=bn |pages=281 |location=Bangladesh}}</ref> In response, he wrote two booklets critiquing the first two translations. Concerned about these issues, he decided to undertake his own translation and commentary, a project also supported by his close associates.{{Sfn|Tijarvi|2020|p=41–42}}

Thanwi began his translation and commentary at the end of [[Rabi' al-Awwal]] 1320 [[Islamic calendar|AH]]. However, after completing only one-fourth of the first [[Juz']], he halted the project for undocumented reasons.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}} He resumed work in the middle of Muharram 1323 AH and, after two and a half years, completed it in 1905 [[Gregorian calendar|CE]]. The first edition of ''Bayan al-Quran'' was published in 1326 AH (1908) in twelve volumes by Matba Nami Mujtabai, Delhi.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rashid |first=Burhan |date=2019 |title=Impact of Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani on Tafsir Bayan al-Quran – with Special Reference to the Science of Balaghah |url=https://islamicstudies.uok.edu.in/Files/36892408-1fed-4431-9848-0761b9e02587/Journal/25b85af9-cdb2-4423-baf0-2ed955ddb2cd.pdf |url-status=live |journal=Insight Islamicus |publisher=[[University of Kashmir]] |volume=19 |pages=98 |issn=0975-6590 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250403100650/https://islamicstudies.uok.edu.in/Files/36892408-1fed-4431-9848-0761b9e02587/Journal/25b85af9-cdb2-4423-baf0-2ed955ddb2cd.pdf |archive-date=3 April 2025}}</ref>{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=12}} Each volume included the translation and commentary of two and a half sections of the ''Quran''. Initially titled simply ''Bayan al-Quran'', the work received considerable recognition. However, after its publication, Thanwi reviewed it and identified sections he considered problematic.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}}

Thanwi later noted that certain annotations in ''Bayan al-Quran'' had been modified without his knowledge during the finalization process.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}} In response, he conducted a second round of revisions, personally reviewing and correcting the text to restore it to his original intent. The revised manuscripts were subsequently published by Ashraf al-Matabi' in [[Thana Bhawan]].{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}} This edition incorporated two of Thanwi's booklets on the ''Quran'', along with selected excerpts from his scholarly writings. Additionally, some of his marginal notes were included, with the term 'Muhashshi' (annotator) added to distinguish his annotations from other additions.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}} Following these revisions, the title was changed to ''Mukammal Bayan al-Quran'' (''Complete Bayan al-Quran''). This updated version was published during Thanwi's lifetime on 20 Shawwal 1353 AH (1935) and continues to be available.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=51}}{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=106}} In 1978, a photoprint reproduction of the original Thana Bhawan edition was issued by Maktabah al-Hasan in Pakistan. One distinguishing feature of this edition is the inclusion of a list of changes that Thanwi had approved in correspondence with [[Abdul Majid Daryabadi]] but had not been incorporated into the original text.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Usmani |first=Taqi |author1-link=Taqi Usmani |url=https://archive.org/details/Tabsre_201610 |title=Tabsre |publisher=Maktaba Ma'ariful Quran |year=2005 |location=Pakistan |pages=124 |language=ur}}</ref>

[[File:Excerpt from Complete Bayan al-Quran Featuring Beginning of Surah Ta-Ha's Translation and Commentary.jpg|thumb|Excerpt from ''Complete Bayan al-Quran'' Featuring Beginning of ''[[Ta-Ha|Surah Ta-Ha]]'s'' Translation and Commentary]]
The Urdu translation is integrated with the Arabic text, appearing between the corresponding Quranic verses.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=51}} Following this interlinear translation, the author discusses the coherence between [[surah]]s or [[Āyah|verses]], either briefly or in detail, depending on the context. If a connection between passages is identified, an explanatory translation follows; otherwise, it is placed immediately after the interlinear translation.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=51}} The commentary is structured into various sections, beginning with a brief interpretation under the heading 'Brief Commentary' before expanding on different topics through multiple subheadings. Two main types of headings are used: one categorizing Quranic themes and the other organizing subjects discussed in the commentary. Quranic themes are grouped under separate titles when multiple verses on the same topic appear together.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=51}} Subject-based headings include 'Ihsaan and Sulook', which explores [[Sufism|Islamic devotion]] and spirituality; 'al-Lughat', which analyzes key Quranic terms; 'al-Nahv', which examines [[syntax]]; and 'al-Balaghah', which discusses rhetorical elements in the verses.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=52}} Differences in [[Qira'at|recitation]] are addressed under 'Ikhtilaf al-Qira'ah', while theological discussions are categorized under 'al-Kalam'. Reports attributed to [[Muhammad|Prophet]] regarding the interpretation of verses are included under 'al-Riwayaat'.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=52}} Justifications for translation choices and grammatical analysis appear under 'Mulhigaat al-Tarjama', while responses to potential objections are provided under 'Hashiya' at the end of each commentary section.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=52}} Each volume concludes with ''Wujooh al-Masani ma'a Taujeeh al-Kalimaat wa al-Ma'ani'', a section that presents seven recognized modes of Quranic recitation, primarily in Arabic. Some volumes also contain supplementary treatises, such as ''Raf'u al-Bina fi Naf' al-Sama''', which examines questions related to the function of the sky.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=52}}

To ensure clarity, the translation is marked with a distinguishing line, allowing readers to differentiate between the Arabic text and its interpretation.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=176}} The translation extends beyond the marked section when necessary, continuing beneath the term "Quran" when it appears. Citations from external sources in the Arabic margins include the names of referenced works, with the prefix 'min' (from) added if any modifications have been made. Certain references within the text, such as 'Ustaazi' (my teacher) and 'Murshidi' (my guide), indicate [[Yaqub Nanautawi]] and [[Imdadullah Muhajir Makki]], respectively. When sources are cited, it is specified whether the content reflects the author's perspective or recollections.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=176}}

== Commentary principle ==
Thanwi developed his translation of the Quran with consideration for contemporary readers.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Tijarvi |first=Muhammad Mushtaq |url=https://archive.org/details/TOOBAA-fuzla-e-deoband-ki-qurani-khidmat |title=Fuzala e Deoband Ki Qurani Khidmat |publisher=Brown Books |year=2020 |isbn=978-93-90167-31-9 |location=Aligarh |pages=42 |language=ur}}</ref> According to Rehana Zia, he employed 27 principles in his exegetical methodology.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=182}} In ''Bayan al-Quran'', Thanwi systematically arranged these principles to enhance clarity and accessibility, making the translation and interpretation understandable for both scholars and general readers.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=184}} He maintained a balanced approach in his translation, avoiding excessive simplification that could diminish the Quran's distinctiveness while also steering clear of overly complex language that might impede comprehension.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=107}} When addressing intricate theological discussions—such as those in [[Kalam]], [[Fiqh]], [[Naskh (tafsir)|Nasikh wa Mansukh]], Sarf (morphology), and [[Qira'at]] (recitation variants)—he included detailed explanations, referencing [[List of tafsir works|classical commentators]]. These technical notes were positioned in the margins in Arabic, primarily for scholars, as he did not intend for the general public to engage with specialized discussions.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=107}} Thanwi adhered to the established principles of Quranic exegesis laid down by earlier scholars while also making modifications and additions when necessary, providing justifications for these changes.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=185}}

His interpretative approach relied on cross-referencing Quranic verses and incorporating authenticated narrations from the Prophet, with a strong emphasis on the authenticity of Hadith.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Siddiqui |first=Muhammad Ismail |url=https://archive.org/download/20200315_20200315_1715/%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%81%DB%8C%DB%81.pdf |title=Talifat-e Ashrafiyyah |location=India |pages=11 |language=ur}}</ref> He carefully selected reports, assessed their reliability, and annotated his work with Arabic marginal notes.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}} When [[Sahih Hadith|authentic Hadith]] were available, he prioritized them over other interpretations.{{Sfn|Khatoon|2015|p=79}} His methodology involved critically evaluating sources to ensure accurate attribution and contextualization within Quranic exegesis.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}} He gave precedence to interpretations from the [[Companions of the Prophet|Prophet's Companions]] and early Islamic scholars, avoiding later perspectives that deviated from these foundational views.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}} Legal discussions in his commentary were primarily based on widely accepted jurisprudential texts of his time,{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=137}} occasionally elaborating on specific rulings derived from Quranic verses, while fundamental theological and legal principles were typically included in marginal notes.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} As a follower of the [[Hanafi school]] of thought, he adhered to its methodology in legal interpretation, refraining from independent legal reasoning ([[ijtihad]]) and instead practicing [[taqlid]] (adherence to a school of thought) within the established Hanafi tradition.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} He also addressed critiques of taqlid, responding to arguments that questioned its validity based on alternative Quranic interpretations.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} While examining jurisprudential matters within the Quran, he conducted research within the necessary scope, ensuring that his analysis remained focused on exegetical concerns.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=178}}

He minimizes engagement with philosophical debates and [[Israʼiliyyat|Israelite narratives]] in his exegesis, selecting a single interpretation when multiple views exist without discussing alternatives.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}} In cases of divergence between rationalist and traditional scholars, he prioritizes textual evidence over rational arguments, accepting authentic narrated reports while interpreting non-authentic ones in a manner consistent with the text.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=137}} His earlier volumes contain extensive discussions on theological debates, while later volumes primarily reference these earlier analyses rather than reiterating them in detail.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=15}} He critiques the [[Mu'tazilism|Mu'tazila]] and other sects in certain instances but does not engage in direct refutations of contemporary [[Orientalism|Orientalist]] perspectives.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} Following the [[Ash'arism|Ash'ari]] and [[Maturidism|Maturidi]] schools in [[Esoteric interpretation of the Quran|ta'wil]] (interpretation), he permits interpretative approaches while avoiding excessive speculation about the Divine Being (Dhat) and [[Attributes of God in Islam|attributes]] (Sifat).{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} Discussions on previous divine scriptures are drawn from ''[[Tafseer-e-Haqqani]]'', and he did not personally verify these sections.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=178}} His writings on Sufism and self-purification target a specific audience, as noted in his introduction.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=14}} Among Urdu Quranic commentaries, his work systematically derives Sufi principles from Quranic verses, aiming to distinguish authentic Islamic Sufi concepts from external influences such as the doctrine of [[incarnation]] (hulul) and the idea of [[Sufi metaphysics|wahdat al-wujud]] (oneness of existence).{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} He identifies approximately 1,600–1,700 Sufi principles from the Quran,{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} and in the revised edition, two of his treatises on Sufism are included in the margins of the commentary: ''Masail al-Suluk min Kalam Malik al-Muluk'', written in Arabic, and its Urdu translation, ''Raf' al-Shukuk fi Tarjama Masail al-Suluk''.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=12}}

In his exegesis, Thanwi explains the connection between each Surah and its preceding verses in a clear and accessible manner, with summaries provided at the beginning of most Surahs.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=177}} For verses with interconnected themes, comprehensive headings are included to present an overview, allowing readers to grasp the broader context before delving into the detailed interpretation. The explanations are structured as a continuous discourse to maintain coherence.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=177}} When translating the Quran into Urdu, he avoided regional idiomatic expressions, opting instead for a formal literary style to ensure broad comprehension across diverse audiences.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=185}} Rather than narrating historical events in detail, he relied on existing sources, presenting his views alongside examples from various references to clarify his interpretations.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=16}} If he faced difficulties in fully articulating an explanation, he openly acknowledged these intellectual challenges.<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Zia |first=Rehana |title=A Critical Study Of Bayanul Quran The Commentary Of The Quran By Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi With Special Reference To The Exegetical Literature In Urdu |degree=PhD |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/57075 |language=ur |page=149 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250403101142/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/57075 |archive-date=3 April 2025 |year=1982 |location=India |hdl=10603/57075}}</ref>

In addressing doubts and objections, Thanwi responded only to those based on valid evidence, such as Quranic verses, Hadith, or established facts. Objections lacking such evidence, relying instead on unsupported claims, were not directly countered, as the request for proof itself was considered a sufficient response.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=178}} Topics that required detailed exploration and appeared in multiple places were discussed in one section, with cross-references provided elsewhere or a note indicating that further discussion would follow.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=178}} In a few instances, Thanwi acknowledged that he had not fully resolved certain issues to his satisfaction. He explicitly mentioned these areas, inviting the consideration of alternative interpretations if they presented greater accuracy.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=178}} Despite his scholarship, Thanwi maintained an openness to further inquiry, recognizing that his work was not intended to be the final or definitive interpretation.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=188}}

== Cited text ==
Thanwi documented the sources he consulted while compiling ''Bayan al-Quran'', listing several classical works on Quranic exegesis, linguistics, jurisprudence, and Hadith.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=113}} Among the primary tafsirs referenced were ''[[Tafsir al-Baydawi]]'', ''[[Tafsir al-Jalalayn]]'', ''[[Tafsir al-Mahaimi]]'', ''[[Al-Itqan]]'', ''[[Tafsir al-Baghawi]]'', ''[[Ruh al-Ma'ani]]'', ''[[Tafsir al-Khazin]]'', ''Tafseer-e-Haqqani'', ''[[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]]'', ''[[Al-Dur al-Manthur]]'', ''[[Al-Kashshaaf]]'', and [[Al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ|''Al-Qamus'']].{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=113}} Additionally, he examined various translations of the ''Quran''. Thanwi also consulted works on Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and Hadith, many of which are cited in the footnotes of his commentary. The Hadith collections referenced include ''[[Kutub al-Sittah]]'', ''[[Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal]]'', and ''[[Al-Jami' al-Saghir]]''. In the field of logic and philosophy, he referred to the works of [[Mulla Sadra]]. His study of jurisprudential texts included ''[[Al-Durr al-Mukhtar]]'', ''Bayan'', and ''Sharh al-'Awamil''.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=114}} Thanwi noted that not all reference materials were available at the outset of his work. According to his own account, he acquired some texts before beginning the commentary, others while writing, and a few towards the final stages of completion.{{Sfn|Saleem|2019|p=53}}

==Critical feedback==
Rehana Zia noted that the commentary section is more beneficial for scholars due to its academic tone, incorporating extensive scholarly research and references in the footnotes. However, the translation section is more accessible and useful for the general public.{{Sfn|Zia|1982|p=128}} Saifur Rehman Rasul emphasized that a strong foundation in Islamic sciences is essential for fully benefiting from the work. He pointed out that some of these scholarly requirements were not consistently followed, particularly in the first four volume, which experienced interruptions and inconsistencies in style and format compared to the later volumes.{{Sfn|Rasul|1992|p=181}} Muhammad Mubeen Saleem observed that Thanwi's defensive and counteroffensive approach to objections resulted in a language that may be too complex for the average reader, leading some scholars to create summaries of ''Bayan al-Quran''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Saleem |first=Muhammad Mubeen |title=Quran Interpretation in Urdu : A Critical Study |date=2019 |publisher=Viva Books |isbn=9789389166897 |editor-last=Ab.

Syed Hameed Shattari criticized the work for being influenced by Sufism, claiming that it serves to publicize the author's doctrines.{{Sfn|Shahid Ali|2001|p=14}}

Printing means to produce reproductions of written material or images in multiple copies. There are four traditional types of printing: [[relief printing]] (with which this article is mainly concerned), intaglio, lithography, and screen process printing. Relief printing encompasses type, stereotype, [[electrotype]], and [[letterpress]]. Flexographic printing is a form of rotary letterpress printing using flexible rubber plates and rapid-drying inks.

== Printing industry ==
Printing and print – Packaging industry in India is growing; people are taking keen interest in this key industry now. There are more than 36 printing institutes some of these giving even post-graduate education. Every year more than 3500 new printing engineering graduates joins the industry, while still much more get on the spot training in the print shops. Printing especially Packaging printing is now one of the industry. It is said that since 1989 the growth of the Printing coupled with Packaging Printing industry is over 14%.

The growth of this sector attributes to the two main reasons, First is the spread of education- according to the 2011 census reveal that there has been an increase in literacy in the country. The literacy rate in the country is 74.04 per cent, 82.14 for males and 65.46 for females. This amazing growth in literacy together with rising educational levels and rapidly progressing trade and industry in India make the current situation a happy note. Literacy rate is growing; increase in the literacy rate has direct positive effect on the rise of the circulation of the regional papers. The people are first educated in their mother tongue as per their state in which they live e.g. students in Maharashtra are compulsory taught Marathi language and hence they are educated in their state language and the first thing a literate person does is read papers and gain knowledge and hence higher the literacy rate in a state the sales of the dominating regional paper in the state rises. There's little doubt about India's market potential in print media. According to a national survey, 248 million literate adults still don't read any publication. But readership of newspapers and magazines is up by 15% since 1998 to 180 million. It's a reflection of a younger, more educated population, especially in small-town India, feel experts. India has 49,000 publications, but annual revenues total just $1.1 billion. While they can be vibrant and gutsy, most are starved for technology, marketing, and capital to expand. So a handful of publications dominate. With the growth in literacy, the Indian print media industry is expected to grow at CAGR of 5.7% for the period 2009-13 to reach {{Indian rupee|213.6}} billion from {{Indian rupee|161.8}} billion in 2008.

== Literacy ==

The Indian Print Industry has undergone a revolutionary change in the last 15 years. In 1990, India initiated a process of reforms aimed at shedding [[protectionism]] and embracing [[liberalisation]] of the [[Economy of India|economy]]. [[Privatisation]] was initiated with the aim of integrating the Indian economy with the world economy. This change opened the doors for the Indian Print Industry to modernise, by investing in the latest of technology and [[machinery]]. The average compound annual growth rate has been higher than 12% over the last 15 years. Our packaging industry is currently growing at a rate of more than 16% a year. Prior to 1990, most printers found it easy to invest in [[East German]] and [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] machines. Post 1990, the trend has been to acquire the latest and the best equipment & machines. The progressive [[printer (computing)|printer]]s of today are equipped with the latest computer controlled printing machines and flow lines for binding, while state of the [[art]] [[digital technologies]] are being used in pre-press. Leading print companies have optimised the use of [[information technology]] in each and every area of their business. These printers are today equipped at par with the best print production facilities in the world.

Today, India is fast becoming one of the major print producer & manufacture of printed paper products for the world markets. The quality standards have improved dramatically and immense production capacities have been created. Some printers have won recognition by winning prizes at international competition for excellence in printing. The current annual turnover of all the components in the Indian printing industry are more than {{Indian rupee|50,000}} crores. That is in the region of US$11 Billion.

Indian books, journals and printing jobs, etc. are being exported to over 120 countries of the world both developed and developing. Indian exports of books, printed pamphlets, newspapers and periodicals, job printing and printed materials during 2004-05 was estimated to the tune of US$550 million.

The Indian Printing Industry, growing at a rate of 12% per annum, comprises more than 250,000 printing companies. The current annual turnover of is more than {{Indian rupee|50,000}} crores (US$11 billion). India is the country with largest number of printing presses in the world (Europe: 1.18 lakh, China: 1.13 lakh, USA: 50,000, Japan: 45,000, Korea: 42,000 and Australia: 40,000). India with approx. 25 lakh employees is second only to China (30.25 lakh) so far as the number of employees in printing sector is concerned. Employees and number of printing companies are decreasing by 6 per cent world over, including China, whereas in India it is progressing at 5.2 per cent annually.
The industry has undergone a revolutionary change in the last 15 years. In 1990, India initiated a process of reforms aimed at shedding protectionism and embracing liberalisation of the economy. Privatisation was initiated with the aim of integrating the Indian economy with the world economy. This change opened the doors for the Indian Print Industry to modernise, by investing in the latest of technology and machinery.
In recent years, the printing industry in India has seen record levels of growth, owing to liberalised regimes, globalisation and progress in automation. The industry has grown leaps and bounds due to the latest technology and machinery, quality standards and production capacities.

== Overview ==
The compounded annual growth rate of the Indian Printing Industry is estimated to be 12.2% for the period 2007-12. The objective is to achieve 60% growth by the year of 2014. The printing industry of India is highly fragmented. [[Newspapers]] and [[magazine]] publishing section have the large printers apart from a few in package, label and commercial printing. About 77% of the printing houses are family-owned. From 2002 inwards the government allowed [[foreign direct investment|foreign investment]]. Foreign investors can now invest up to 26% in daily newspapers and 100% in [[scientific]] or other publications with government approval. Printing sector has evolved from a manufacturing industry into a service [[industry in India]] of late. Publishing have come up to the international standards as well.

Most of the large printers are found in big cities of [[Delhi]], [[Kolkata]], [[Mumbai]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Chennai]], and [[Sivakasi]], which has emerged as a commercial printing hub and accounts for a major share of [[exports]] from the Indian printing industry.

India's biggest international exhibition on Printing and Packaging is [https://printpackipama.com/ '''Printpack India'''] which is organised by an Association called IPAMA. The Indian printing industry will reach nearly $20.9 billion by 2015, a government official said at the ninth edition of the international exhibition on printing and allied machinery industries ([[PAMEX]]) which was inaugurated at [[Greater Noida]]. With the exponential growth, the organisers expect India to become the largest printing market by 2015 aided by low-cost production and
ready-to-adopt new technology. The event is also being supported by the [[Indian Newspaper Society]] (INS) and the [[Federation of Indian Publishers]]. It is the only dedicated international exhibition for the industry organised in Asia.
The printing industry in India is slowly progressing from the heavy machinery using industry to a more software-centric business. The Indian printers are today equipped with the latest computer controlled printing machines and flow lines for binding, while state-of-the-art digital technologies are used in pre-press. UV digital printing and [[inkjet technology]] are also on the rise in India. The advent of global brands, rising consumerism and growth of the pharmaceutical industry have seen an increase in the scope for package printing. Giving an optimistic outlook of the industry, the package printing sector is growing at the annual rate of 18 percent, commercial printing at a rate of 4 – 6 percent and digital printing at robust 30 percent.
The digital printing industry is seeing significant transformations with new technologies & applications providing cost-effective and customised solutions. For the foreseeable future, offset and digital will not only co-exist, but will also complement each other- with offset taking the medium-to-longer jobs and digital performing on short-to-medium run lengths. The booming Indian economy, increasing consumerism, entry of global brands in the country and opening of the sector to foreign investors are bound to offer growth opportunities to this industry.

IPAMA is an association of printing packaging and allied machinery manufacturers, and the biggest association of machine manufacturers. All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP) is the apex body of Indian Printers representing 250,000 printing companies AIFMP is the world's largest printers association.

==Booming sector==
Currently printing sector is all set to become booming in India due to available technology, resource at a very economical cost. Also government is encouraging foreign direct investment into this sector. Lot of MNC's are expected to invest in this sector due to favourable working conditions. There are numerous jobs are expected in this industry due to overall growing percentage of 12% per annum. Worldwide, the annual revenue of the printing industry is over $600 Billion. The United States accounts the major share for over 25% of this business, at $160 billion a year.{{Citation needed|date=June 2019}}

Barwaha is a municipality in the District of Khargone is situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh in the central region of India. Khargone was formerly known as West Nimar. A part of the Indore Division lying on the region of Nimar, The District headquarters is located in the city of Khargone along with other functional offices i.e., police station, the collectorate office, telecom and other governmental organizations.

In ancient times, the Haihayas of Mahishmati (present-day Maheshwar) ruled this region. In early medieval age, the area was under the Paramaras of Malwa and the Ahirs of Asirgarh. In late medieval age, the area was under Malwa Sultanate of Mandu. In 1531, Gujarat sultan Bahadur Shah brought this area under his control. In 1562, Akbar annexed this territory along with the whole Malwa to Mughal empire. In 1740 Marathas under the Peshwa brought the area under their control. In 1778, Peshwa distributed this territory to the Maratha rulers, Holkars of Indore, Sindhias of Gwalior and Ponwars of Dhar. At the time of Maratha rulers Barwaha comes under Holkar reign. Barwaha is considered to be the holiday place by the Maharajah of Indore in pre-independent British India.

During the reign of Mughal emperor [[Shah Jahan]], Rana Durjansal of [[Tomaras of Delhi|Tomar dynasty]] received the Zamindari of Jaitpuri (Barwaha) in 1646. In the year 1758, [[Shivajirao Holkar|Shivaji Rao Holkar]] of [[House of Holkar|Holkar dynasty]] built the longest palace of Asia the Dariya Mahal at Barwaha which is now an administration building of CISF RTC Barwaha.

On 1 November 1956, the district became part of the newly formed state of Madhya Pradesh. On 25 May 1998, West&nbsp;Nimar district was bifurcated into two districts: Khargone and Barwani and Barwaha comes under Khargone district.

Barwaha is known for its ghats and is built on the banks of [[Narmada River]], [[Choral River]] and river Padali surrounded by Ujjain, Indore and Dewas as its northern frontier, the state of Maharashtra Khandwa and Burhanpur as the southern side and Khargone and Barwani as the Western border. The people of Barwaha speak Nimadi. It is the primary language in west Nimar, Bareli and Palya, the language of Bhil is spoken in the central territory of Madhya Pradesh; Bareli Rathwi, Bhil is written in Bhilali and Devanagari script.

The city was an important industrial city during the [[British Raj]] but now it is losing the dignity due to biasedness of politicians and officials towards other towns (Sanawad and Maheshwar).{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

Following are some important phrases from the letters written for this line:

* P. H. Maflin, O. B. E., M. C., Railway Departmcnt, ( Railway Board ), was appointed to carry out • the investigation, already stated was to comprehend the area bounded by the railways connecting Surat, Godhra, Ratlam, Indore, Barwaha, Khandwa and Bhusaval) and to make recommendations for the development of this area by feeder railways.
* He also invited the views of the Baroda Government on the

(''1) Chhota Udepur—Kuksi—Barwaha via Alirajpur and''

''( 2 ) Piplod—Devgadh Baria—Alirajpur—Kuksi – Barwaha projects''

* With the construction of the railway, Mr. Maflinthinks, a new orientation will be given to the imports and exports, the distance from Barwaha to [[Mumbai|Bombay]] being:

''via Khandwa 394 miles,''

''via Ratlam and Baroda 528 miles, and''

''via the proposed chord 434 miles.''

* If no decision be arrived at early on the alignment of the proposed Chhota Udaipur Barwaha section Chord, Mr. Maflin suggests that a traffic survey be commenced as early as possible of the section from Barwaha to Kuksi with a branch to Chikalda. This section would traverse the most prosperousportion of the Narmada Valley north of the river.
* There is no road at present between Maheshwar and the Agra-Bombay Road and none is likely to be built for some time, as the Karam river forming the Dhar—Indore boundary intervenes and the Dhar Darbar have no inducement to contribute to the cost of one bridge or to construct the length of road in their territory . There is a motorservice to Barwaha from Maheshwar and neighbouring town of Mandleshwar which meets all existing requirements, but if more were needed a branch line could be built from Barwaha.
* The Baroda Government replied that they had no objection to the proposed extension of the Bodeli—Chhota Udaipur Railway towards Central India. As regards the alignment, they were inclined to prefer a line to Barwaha via Alirajpur, Kuksi, Singana, Bakaner and Dharampuri.
* They were not in favour of a line to Khandwa via Barwani as such a line would have to cross the Narmada at some point.

The '''Indian desert jird''' or '''Indian desert gerbil''' ('''''Meriones hurrianae''''') is a species of [[jird]] found mainly in the [[Thar Desert]] in India. Jirds are closely related to [[Gerbillus|gerbil]]s.

==Distribution==
The Indian desert jird is found in southeastern [[Iran]] and [[Pakistan]] to northwestern [[India]]. In India they can be found in [[Rajasthan]] and [[Gujarat]].<ref>{{cite tech report|author=Prakash, Ishwar|url=http://www.cazri.res.in/publications/KrishiKosh/28-(ECOLOGY%20OF%20THE%20INDIAN%20DESERT%20GERBIL).pdf|title=Ecology of the Indian Desert Gerbil, ''Meriones hurrianae''|date=September 1981|location=Jodhpur|institution=Central Arid Zone Research Institute|number=CAZRI Monograph No. 10}}</ref>

==Description==
[[File:AB071 Merionis hurrianae.JPG|thumb|left|Meriones hurrianae]]
The Indian desert jird has a grey-brown coat with yellowish-grey belly. It is approximately {{convert|12|-|14|cm}} long and has a tail {{cvt|10|-|15|cm}} long. The distinguishing characteristics include short ears, long black claws and orange incisors.

==Habitat==
Jirds inhabit desert and barren areas preferring firm soil. They are not to be found in pure sand dunes or rocky outcrops.
[[File:Desert Jird Desert NP Jaisalmer.jpg|thumb|Desert jird found at Desert National Park, [[Jaisalmer]], [[Rajasthan]]]]

==Habits==
The jirds are gregarious and their burrows are seen close by. Each jird will have at least two or more entrances to his burrow complex. Often the entrance is in the shade of a tree or near the trunk of bushes. They feed on seeds, roots, nuts, grasses and insects.

==Difference between 'jirds' and 'gerbils'==
Jirds are closely related to gerbils but can be distinguished by the lack of long hind feet and the characteristic erect posture of a gerbil. The tail of a jird is generally shorter than the head and body. It also has much shorter ears. In addition, the Indian desert jird is diurnal, in comparison to the three common gerbil species found in India which are nocturnal.
