The administration of the kingdom of Mysore under his leadership ensured that the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|1857 rebellion]] had almost no impact in the region. He died in 1861 on board ship at [[Suez]]. Cubbon Road and [[Cubbon Park]] in [[Bengaluru|Bangalore]] are named after him.

==Early life==
Cubbon was born at the vicarage of [[Maughold (parish)|Maughold]], [[Isle of Man]] on 23 August 1775. His father was Vicar Thomas Cubbon and his mother Margaret Wilks was the sister of Colonel [[Mark Wilks]]. The seventh of ten children, he grew up enjoying scrambling up the local hills and studied at the local Parish school before studying under the tutorship of Maddrell of Ramsey. His uncle Mark Wilks arranged for Cubbon to enroll as a cadet in India in the spring of 1802.<ref name=harrison />

==Early career in India==

Cubbon arrived in India earlier than required in the summer of 1801 at Calcutta. He gained an appointment to the 2nd Madras Battalion in 1802, and moved to the 2nd Battalion 5th Native Infantry in July 1804, serving in Travancore under Col. John Chalmers. Cubbon had great admiration for the [[Sepoy]]s and respected their religious views. In 1809 he received a civil appointment but the new governor of Madras, [[Sir George Barlow, 1st Baronet|George Barlow]], had passed a pledge that was unpopular among the Europeans in the [[Madras Army]]. Cubbon refused to sign the declaration and he lost his appointment during this so-called white mutiny in Madras. He was reappointed in 1810 in the Commissariat Department initially under Col. Close  in central India during the [[Third Anglo-Maratha War|Pindari War]]<ref name=odnb>{{cite ODNB|author=H. M.

A year later, he was then made an Assistant Commissary-General, a position well above the ranks within the army. He became a Major on 23 November 1823 and was a Lieutenant-Colonel on 22 April 1826.<ref name=odnb /> In 1827 he moved south to serve under the Travancore Resident as Commissary-General, succeeding William Morrison.<ref name=harrison>{{cite journal|journal=The Manx Note Book|volume=1|issue=2|author=Harrison, Rev.

After the death of [[Tipu Sultan]] in 1799's Fourth Anglo-Mysuru war, the British had restored the former Hindu royal family of Mysore under a child prince with [[Purnaiah]], the minister during Tipu's rule, to effectively administer until the prince grew up. The revenue collection under this system was however considered unfair and corruption was widespread.<ref>{{cite book|author=Bell, Evans|title=The Mysore Reversion, "an exceptional case"|date=15 October 1866 |pages=9–12|url=https://archive.org/stream/mysorereversion01bellgoog#page/n34/mode/2up|edition=2|publisher=Trübner and Co.|place=London}}</ref> This led to an uprising, the [[Nagar revolt]] in 1831, and the Rajah was unable to control it.<ref name="KNVS">{{cite book |last1=Sastri |first1=K N Venkatasubba |title=The Administration Of Mysore Under Sir Mark Cubbon (1834-1861) |date=1932 |publisher=George Allen & Unwin Ltd. |location=London |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.505283/page/n5 |access-date=29 July 2019}}</ref><ref>Sastri (1932):15-18</ref> This uprising was suppressed with the aid of the British and a commission was instituted to examine the causes. The commission which included Major-General Hawker, William Morison, John Macleod, and Mark Cubbon made a report which showed extreme misgovernance. A decision was taken by the [[Governor-General of India]], [[Lord William Bentinck|William Bentinck]] for direct administration of the kingdom with two commissioners viz. J. Briggs & C.M. Lushington. The two however quarreled and this led to the appointment of a sole Commissioner, William Morrison, in May 1834<ref>{{cite book|author=Hunter, W.W.|title=The Imperial Gazetteer of India. Volume X.|publisher=Trubner & Co.|place=London|year=1886|url= https://archive.org/stream/cu31924081223335#page/n95/mode/2up|page=95}}</ref> but on his transfer in June 1834, Cubbon was then made as Commissioner.<ref name=odnb />

===Administration and reforms===
[[File:Mark Cubbon.jpg|thumb]]
At the close of the 1831 uprising in Mysore, and the British takeover on 19 October 1831,<ref>Rice (1897):639</ref> the first priority for Cubbon was law and order. Prior to his actions, murders to settle disputes were extremely common in the towns and villages and Cubbon was disturbed by its apparent acceptance in society. Cubbon improved the system of Silladars or native horsemen who would provide services to the government for a fixed monthly charge. He raised their pay to ensure that they could not be corrupted and created a force of about 4000 horses with seven regiments, with a detachment for every taluk.<ref>Sastri (1932):36-47</ref> There was no police force until July 1834, when a code or police hukumnama was formulated. This separated the local police from the military force. There was an armed and unarmed section with the armed part having the duty of dealing with prisoners, any field service needing them, killing tigers (with a reward of Rs 10 for adults and Rs 5 for cubs) and to accompany state guests or travellers. They would also prevent thefts, watch key positions and towns and prevent sandal trees from being cut. The unarmed peons or ''khalihaths'' (literally "empty hands") were to help in the repair of roads, irrigation tanks and follow other orders. He set up a reporting structure which was almost entirely made up of Indians.<ref>Sastri (1932):38-48</ref>
There was no code of law in 1834 and Cubbon drew upon and expanded a system described by his uncle Wilks in 1804. Cubbon created a judicial system that became quite popular but it was causing considerable demands on the system and in 1841 they made vexatious suitors liable to fines. Cubbon made himself the superior authority for handling serious crimes. In some cases he intervened and there were some cases where he conflicted with the decisions taken by the courts. The use of a uniform code of law across all classes was novel in the Kingdom of Mysore.<ref>Sastri (1932):48-61</ref> Cubbon also reduced the powers of the poligars or local chieftains. They were paid a pension that was calculated on the basis of what it would take to maintain them in prison.<ref>Sastri (1932):61-64</ref> There was considerable friction between communities belonging to different religions and castes. Cubbon resorted to the use of a majority vote to resolve several disputes relating to religious gurus.<ref>Sastri (1932):64-71</ref>

Cubbon also made administration very strict and based on codes. Revenue officers taking bribes and a court officer holding extreme [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi]] tenets were dismissed. He set up nine departments or kacheris:<ref>Sastri (1932):73-75</ref>
* revenue (dewan)
* posts (anche)
* police (kandachar)
* public works (maramat)
* military ([[sowar]] and barr)
* medical
* public cattle ([[Amrit Mahal]])
* judiciary
* public instruction
Prior to Cubbon, government documents were written in Urdu, Hindi, Persian, Kannada or Marathi and this led to difficulties and corruption. Cubbon restricted the languages to be used to Kannada and Marathi.<ref>Sastri (1932):76</ref>

As part of financial reforms record keeping of all revenues collected was made stringent and all spending was controlled. Cubbon maintained public accounts using the Kantarayi [[Pagoda (coin)|pagoda]] (Kantirava [[Fanam (disambiguation)|Fanam]]) as the currency. This system was followed until 1854 and replaced by the East India Company currency in 1855.<ref>Sastri (1932):78-81</ref>

Cubbon supported educational institutions run mainly by missionaries and also worked on healthcare, establishing hospitals and homes for lepers. He also issued rules against various forms of slavery that were traditionally followed in parts of Mysore. All forms of punishment, forced labour and torture in civil life were made illegal.<ref>Sastri (1932):91-93</ref> The prison system was improved and convict labour was utilized in public works.<ref>Sastri (1932):94-98</ref>

During the 1857 rebellion, Mysore was relatively peaceful owing to governance of Cubbon. A small band of Mohammedans in Srirangapatna were however planning rebellion and Cubbon had the uprising quashed secretly with the help of a small band of [[History of Kodagu|Coorg]] warriors. In reward for their actions, an exception in the Disarmament Act was made for Coorg.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/NativeGovernmentMysore/Native%20government%20Mysore#page/n311/mode/1up/|page=162|title=Copy of extracts of correspondence... Native Government in Mysore|year=1878|publisher=India Office}}</ref>

Agriculture had been particularly hit by anarchy, with money lenders and revenue officials causing great trouble to farmers. Cubbon worked on the improvement of irrigation. These included the [[Vani Vilasa Sagara|Marikanive]] project in [[Hiriyur]], work on the Nugu, Shimsha (Maddur), Hemavathi (near Sakleshpur), Tunga & Bhadra (near Shimoga) and Kaveri river project near Siddapur.<ref>Sastri (1932):99</ref> He founded the agri-horticultural society in 1839 and had the Lalbagh gardens transferred to it. In 1836 he wrote that "great public benefit may be expected to arise from this institution, not only in regard to objects merely horticultural and the extension of botanical knowledge, but in the promotion of the agricultural interest of the country, by introductions suited to the climate, amongst which may be enumerated varieties of sugar-cane, cotton, and tobacco far superior to any produced in Mysore, and by affording the people the means of obtaining gratuitous instruction in improved modes of cultivation."<ref>Sastri (1932):105</ref> Cubbon introduced new crops, varieties of crops, new breeds of livestock (apart from maintaining traditional breeds like the [[Amrit Mahal]] that had helped [[Hyder Ali]] and Tipu Sultan win battles<ref>{{cite book|title=A manual of Indian cattle and sheep, their breeds, management and diseases|author=Shortt, John|edition=3|publisher=Higginbotham and Co.|place=Madras|year=1889|page=4|url=https://archive.org/stream/IndianCattle/indian%20cattle#page/n19/mode/2up}}</ref>) and also took an interest in forestry. In 1846 sisoo plantations were tried and in 1855-56 teak was planted in Lakwalli on the banks of the Tunga and Bhadra. He issued an order to ensure that valuable woods could not be cut without government permission.<ref>Sastri (1932):116</ref> He also issued orders against kumri or slash-and-burn agriculture.<ref>Sastri (1932):117</ref>

He also worked towards improving the road system with four classes of roads and oversaw the building of bridges at key points such as at Fraserpert, Maddur, Hoskote, Shimoga and Hiriyur. The road system also required key passes through the [[Western Ghats]] and for this he opened up passes at Agumbe, Boond, Sampaje and Periambadi.<ref>Sastri (1932):100</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/ReportOnAdministrationMysore/Report%20on%20Administration%20Mysore#page/n107/mode/1up |page=92|title=Report on the administration of Mysore, for 1863-64|author=Anonymous|date=15 October 1864 |publisher=Mysore Government Press}}</ref>

Cubbon maintained traditional religious institutions and granted concessions to [[Matha|maths]], temples, old age homes and other institutions that were supported by the maharaja.<ref>Sastri (1932):127-128</ref>

Cubbon made full use of natives in administration and reduced the need for European appointments. From 1834 there was a single commissioner for Mysore; in 1836 he was given charge of Coorg and from 1843 was also to act as Resident for Mysore without any increase in his own salary.<ref>Sastri (1932):161</ref> Cubbon's administration is estimated to have costed only about £13000 a year and required only four Europeans.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Bankruptcy of India; An enquiry into the administration of India under the Crown|author=Hyndman, H.M.|year=1886|publisher=Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co.|place=London|url=https://archive.org/stream/bankruptcyofindi00hyndiala#page/100/mode/2up|pages=101–103}}</ref> [[Edward Washburn Hopkins]] wrote in 1901 that one of the solutions to India's famines was to ''cubbonize'' its administration (i.e. to use native government).<ref>{{cite book|author=Hopkins, E.

He was knighted [[Order of the Bath|K.C.B.]] in 1856.<ref name=harrison />

In 1859, when orders were issued to transfer the superintendence of Mysore affairs from the Governor-General to the government of Madras, Cubbon submitted his resignation, as he held it to be impolitic and contrary to the declaration made by the Honourable Court of Directors in 1838. The order was withdrawn by the Viceroy, [[Charles Canning, 1st Earl Canning|Lord Canning]].<ref>Rao (1927):2907</ref> At the beginning of the next year, however, Cubbon felt compelled to resign owing to ill-health.<ref>Rao (1927):2908</ref>

===Contribution to Kannada===
Mark Cubbon took special interest and financially supported the publication of the first [[Kannada|Canarese (Kannada)]] translation of the [[Bhagavad Gita]], ''The Bhagavat-Geeta, Or, Dialogues of Krishna and Arjun in Eighteen Lectures'', with Sanskrit, Canarese and English in parallel columns, edited by Rev. [[John Garrett (Linguist)|John Garrett]], published by the Wesleyan Mission Press, Bangalore in 1849.<ref name="Gita-Garrett">{{cite book|editor1-last=Garrett|editor1-first=John|editor2-last=Wilhelm|editor2-first=Humboldt|title=The Bhagavat-Geeta, Or, Dialogues of Krishna and Arjoon in Eighteen Lectures|date=1849|publisher=Wesleyan Mission Press|location=Bangalore|url=https://archive.org/details/bhagavatgeetaor00humbgoog|access-date=18 January 2017}}</ref>

Mark Cubbon also financially supported the printing and publication of the first [[Kannada|Canarese]] - English dictionary, which was compiled by [[William Reeve (missionary)|William Reeve]], edited by [[Daniel Sanderson]] and published in 1858, by the Wesleyan Mission Press.<ref name="WesleyanMissionPress1858">{{cite book|last1=Reeve|first1=William|editor1-last=Sanderson|editor1-first=Daniel|title=A Dictionary, Canarese and english|date=1858|publisher=Wesleyan Mission Press|location=Bangalore|url=https://archive.org/details/adictionarycana00sandgoog|access-date=18 January 2017}}</ref>

== Personality ==
Cubbon grew up in India with a deep understanding for native sentiment and empathy for the people and their traditions. He was considered very fair and was tactful, making use of a native style of argumentation when required. In his dealings with the Mysore king, he outright avoided the use of espionage to obtain information, a method used by many others in the past. He was required in his work to host public dinners but did not relish parties and especially disliked dance balls. Fond of horses, he maintained as many as sixty in his stables. He did not visit church and made jokes on the inconsistencies of religious professors but he enforced the closure of all offices on Sundays.<ref name=dobbs>{{cite book|title=Reminiscences of life in Mysore, South Africa and Burmah|author=Dobbs, R.S.|year=1882|publisher=George Herbert|place=Dublin|pages=112–122 |url=https://archive.org/stream/reminiscencesli00dobbgoog#page/n132/mode/2up }}</ref> Cubbon was unmarried.<ref name=odnb />

Cubbon built a summer home on the summit of [[Nandi Hills, India|Nandidroog]] in 1834.<ref>{{cite book|author=Hunter, W.W.|title=The Imperial Gazetteer of India.

{{blockquote|I am visiting a charming old General, Sir Mark Cubbon, 1,500 feet above the table-land of Bangalore, and with a view over about 150 miles of country on all sides. It is cool fresh air and a very pleasant spot, and the old gentleman is very delightful. He has been all this century in India, but seems to know all that has gone on all over the world, and is the most ''grand siegneur'' old man I almost ever saw." (The Story of Two Noble Lives, by A.

[[File:Cubbon Park, Bangalore (1890). Curzon Collection's 'Souvenir of Mysore Album'.jpg|thumb|[[Cubbon Park]] (1890)]]
Cubbon died at [[Suez]] on 23 April 1861 while returning to England in the company of his physician, Dr. Campbell. He died of liver ailment or possibly an abscess in the lungs, his last words being recorded as "And through no merit of my own." From Southampton, Campbell was joined by Haines and Colonel Macqueen who took the body to Liverpool and then to Douglas. All flags were flown at half mast and on 17 May his body was interred in the Maughold Churchyard amid a large gathering. The Archdeacon announced, "In that vault lies the greatest man this island has produced for centuries back."<ref name=harrison /><ref name=dobbs/> When news of his death reached Mysore, all public offices were closed for three days.<ref name=higginbotham />

An equestrian statue by [[Carlo Marochetti|Baron Marochetti]] was unveiled on 16 March 1866 in a large gathering and addressed by [[Lewin Bentham Bowring]], Cubbon's successor as Commissioner of Mysore. The statue was initially placed in the parade ground at Bangalore but moved later in front of the main government buildings (the Attara Kacheri now housing the Karnataka High Court). When the statue was unveiled the forehead was marked with the three lines of ash, symbols of Brahminism, a prank by some young soldiers that was referred to in "The Painting of the Statue" in the "Lays of Ind" by W.S. Yeldham writing under the pen name of "Aliph Cheem".<ref name=higginbotham>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/menwhomindiahas00higggoog#page/n112/mode/2up|pages=96–97|author=Higginbotham, J.J|year=1874|title=Men whom India has known: Biographies of Eminent Indian Characters|publisher=Higginbotham and Co.|place=Madras|edition=2}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Lays of Ind.

Cubbon Road, Cubbonpet and [[Cubbon Park]] in Bangalore are named after him. A medallion portrait of Cubbon is found on the ceiling at the west end of the Central Hall in the Karnataka High Court building.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}

Largely ignored since [[Indian Independence Act 1947|Indian Independence]] in 1947, the statue of Mark Cubbon was garlanded for the first time at a celebration of Cubbon's 238th birth anniversary on 23 August 2013. The function required special permission from the [[Karnataka High Court]], and police protection was provided. This celebration was however opposed by [[Vatal Nagaraj]] who considered it a shame that British statues were still standing in public spaces suggesting that they be moved into museums.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Hindu|date=21 April 2014|title=Shift British-era statues to museum: Vatal Nagaraj|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/shift-britishera-statues-to-museum-vatal-nagaraj/article5931562.ece|access-date=15 February 2015}}</ref><ref name=garland>{{cite news|title=Cubbon garlanded in hush-hush ceremony in front of High Court|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/cover-story/Cubbon-garlanded-in-hush-hush-ceremony-in-front-of-High-Court/articleshow/22088724.cms|access-date=5 February 2015|issue=Bangalore|work=Bangalore Mirror|date=24 August 2013}}</ref> On 28 June 2020, the statue was moved from the High Court premises to [[Cubbon Park]].<ref>{{cite news|newspaper= Bangalore Mirror|title=Case of controversial statue comes to an end|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/case-of-controversial-statue-comes-to-an-end/articleshow/76698242.cms|date=30 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-29|title=Sir Mark Cubbon statue moved into park premises|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/city/top-bengaluru-stories/sir-mark-cubbon-statue-moved-into-park-premises-854894.html|access-date=2020-06-29|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}</ref>

== Plot ==
Jayaraman was born [[Visual impairment|blind]], but has a heightened sense of smell, hearing and touch and is an expert in the martial art of [[kalaripayattu]]. Part of a large family, he works as a [[Elevator operator|lift operator]] and caretaker in [[Kochi]] apartment building and is struggling to earn money for his sister's wedding. Jayaraman is loyal to Krishnamoorthy, a retired [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] [[Chief Justice of India|chief justice]] who lives in the building, and accompanies Krishnamoorthy unquestioningly on a long search for someone. On one trip, Krishnamoorthy tells Jayaraman the story behind his search. Years ago, a man named Vasudevan was imprisoned by Krishnamoorthy for a crime he did not commit; the judge followed the [[letter of the law]], although he knew that Vasu was innocent.

As a result, Vasu's family committed suicide by poisoning. Vasu becomes an insane with grief, resolves to avenge his loss and tells Krishnamoorthy that he will kill him and his family. Vasu has been released from prison and Krishnamoorthy feels threatened. Krishnamoorthy has a young daughter, Nandini, and is afraid that Vasu will kill her if he learns of her existence. To keep her safe, he sent her to a [[Catholic school|convent school]] and she knows nothing about him. Nandini's only link to her father is via Jayaraman, who frequently visits her at Krishnamoorthy's request. She asks Jayaraman about her father at each visit, and he replies that he will bring him the next time. Krishnamoorthy asks Jayaraman to help him transfer money from his [[bank account]] to another account he opened for Nandini.

To reduce scrutiny, they avoid an [[electronic transfer]]. Jayaraman withdraws the money and gives it to Krishnamoorthy; the transaction is seen by Devayani, a divorcee and maid in the apartment building. Krishnamoorthy puts the money in a safe in his apartment. A large wedding takes place, to which everyone in the building is invited. Jayaraman goes to Krishnamoorthy's apartment after the party only to find him dead and the money is missing from the judge's safe. He senses the presence of someone else in the apartment and the killer tries to escape, but Jayaraman subdues him. After learning Jayaraman is blind, the killer who is revealed to be Vasu sneak past him and escapes in an auto. In the chaos, Krishnamoorthy's money is missing and the police accuse Jayaraman of stealing it. After Krishnamoorthy's funeral, Vasu keeps on following Jayaraman. He tries to inform about Vasu to the police but fails.

They learn at the police station that Devayani's brother had the money, but Jayaraman is charged with murder. He vainly pleads for a chance to find the killer, whose presence he could sense. After Jayaraman is beaten by the police during an interrogation, he fights back and escapes. He tries to hide Nandini from Vasu with the aid of his officer friend Ganga. Jayaraman reveals to Ganga that Nandini is actually Vasu's daughter, whom the serial killer is trying to kill. He, Nandini and Ganga hide in the convent under the Mother Superior's supervision. However, Vasu arrives and attacks Ganga. Jayaraman tries to reveal that Nandini is Vasu's daughter, which she hears and becomes shocked. But Vasu believes that it as an emotional blackmail to save Nandini. Vasu tries all his way to kill Nandini but Jayaraman saves her. Jayaraman tells Nandini that she isn't actually Vasu's daughter and he told that to fool him. Suddenly when Vasu approaches Nandini, Jayaraman calls Vasu in his mobile phone. When the ringtone is heard, Jayaraman kills Vasu. In the end, Jayaraman and Nandini beginning a life together as a loving father and daughter.

They had visited a school for the blind in [[Chennai]] for pre-production research, and saw children playing and running between obstacles as if they could see. Priyadarshan had also known blind men whose other senses were keen.<ref name="blind" /> The character of Jayaraman has exceptionally sharp senses, and an expert in martial art of [[kalaripayattu]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Aravind|first=C.

S. gave ''Oppam'' three out of five stars, and opined that the film is engaging and have an interesting plot that brings back the vintage Mohanlal-Priyadarshan combo. "Watching Mohanlal as Jayaraman, one is reminded of the skill set this actor possesses.

Nowadays, China Town is a haven of Indo Chinese Fusion food and has crafted a legacy in its own right.{{fact|date=May 2023}}
Initially called Hughes Road until 1985, the name was renamed to recognise the contribution of Late Gobinda Khatik. Recent Urbanization and rapid growth has rapidly changed the landscape of Tangra and traffic snarls on the once empty road are common. The road is long and narrow and caters to Bi-Directional traffic. Dhangars, a community of Untouchable sanitary workers established their colony along this road. The road falls under Ward no. [[Ward No. 56, Kolkata Municipal Corporation|56]], [[Ward No. 59, Kolkata Municipal Corporation|59]], and [[Ward No. 66, Kolkata Municipal Corporation|66]] of the [[Kolkata Municipal Corporation|KMC]].{{fact|date=May 2023}}

'''R. C. Sakthi''' (26 March 1940 – 23 February 2015) was an Indian [[film director]] and actor. He launched [[Kamal Haasan]] as a lead actor in ''[[Unarchigal (1976 film)|Unarchigal]]'', and also working with [[Rajinikanth]] in ''[[Dharma Yuddham]]'' and [[Vijayakanth]] in ''[[Manakanakku]]''.

==Early life==
Sakthi was born to the couple Selvam and Lakshmi at Puzhuthikulam, a hamlet near Paramakudi of Ramanathapuram district. His father Selvam was in the police department. Sakthi was not much interested in studies; he evinced great interest in acting since his early years. He started a drama company along with his friends and staged his first play ‘Vaazhkai vaazhvatharkae’ in which he donned the role of the villain. The entire village appreciated the play and Sakthi's acting and encouraged him to try his luck in cinema. Sakthi arrived at Chennai with dreams of entering cinema.<ref name="Sakthi">{{Cite news |date=23 February 2015 |title=Tamil director R.C Sakthi passes away |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/tamil-director-rc-sakthi-passes-away/article6925668.ece |access-date=9 June 2020}}</ref> But he could get only minor roles in some amateur drama troupes and he was not happy.<ref name = "Director">{{cite web|url=http://www.kalyanamalaimagazine.com/Content/Thiraichuvai/Jan12_1_15/Potpourri_of_titbits_about_Tamil_cinema_Director_RC_Sakthi.html|title=Kalyanamalai Magazine - Serial story, Thiraichuvai - Potpourri of titbits about Tamil cinema, Director R. C. Sakthi|website=www.kalyanamalaimagazine.com}}</ref>

==Career==
He came to Chennai and joined as an assistant to ‘Villupaattu’ Subbhu Aarumugam of the NSK troupe who was also working as a scriptwriter and, Sakthi was doing roles in stage plays too.<ref name="Sakthi" /> At that point, he got the opportunity to work as assistant director for the Tamil film ‘Porsilai’. He became close to Thangappan, the dance master of the film. He told Sakthi that he had plans to produce a film titled ‘Annai Velankanni’ and he insisted that Sakthi should be part of the project.<ref name = "Director"/> Sakthi worked with the team of ''[[Annai Velankanni]]'' (1970) as an assistant director, while learning the art of scriptwriting.<ref name="Sakthi" /> Sakthi launched his first directorial venture in 1972, ''[[Unarchigal (1976 film)|Unarchigal]]'', a new age film which dealt with sexually transmitted diseases as the main storyline. The film was also initially supposed to launch [[Kamal Haasan]] as a lead actor, however, delays meant that the film was only released 4 years later in 1976.<ref name="Sakthi" /><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news-interviews/Sakthi-overwhelmed-with-Kamal-Haasans-gesture/articleshow/28005657.cms |title=Sakthi overwhelmed with Kamal Haasan's gesture - the Times of India |website=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=27 December 2013 |archive-date=27 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227130032/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news-interviews/Sakthi-overwhelmed-with-Kamal-Haasans-gesture/articleshow/28005657.cms |url-status=dead }}</ref> They soon collaborated again in ''[[Manidharil Ithanai Nirangala]]'' (1978) and have remained close aides since. He later also went on to make the [[Rajinikanth]]-[[Sridevi]] starrer ''[[Dharma Yuddham]]'', a revenge saga which released in 1979.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3BFHhr3C1E |title=Director RC Sakthi talks about Kamal Haasan on his Birthday (2/2) |publisher=YouTube |date=2012-11-06 |accessdate=2021-02-15}}</ref> However, after a promising start, Sakthi began to work on films with smaller budgets and his films failed to become as successful or as high profile as his initial ventures with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth. Kamal Haasan later refused to work in Sakthi's ''[[Manakanakku]]'' (1985), but later agreed to make a cameo appearance in the [[Vijayakanth]] starrer. His last directorial venture was ''[[Pathini Penn]]'' in 1993, after a film titled ''Iththanai Naal Yengirundhaai?'' starring [[Babu Ganesh]] and [[Khushbu Sundar|Khushbu]] was shelved after a single schedule in 1997, later he directed a telefilm called ''Manitha Iyanthiram'' starring [[Charu Hasan|Charu Haasan]], director Gajendran and his first grandson Sai Ajeet Kumar it also got appreciation from the industry and his close friend Kamal Haasan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-2.htm |title=A-Z (Ii) |accessdate=2015-02-27 |url-status=usurped |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128025921/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-2.htm |archivedate=2015-01-28 }}</ref>

He moved on to play supporting roles in films, notably being selected by Kamal Haasan to portray a role in his directorial venture ''[[Marudhanayagam]]'' in 1998, before the film was shelved. He went on to work in [[Ponvannan]]'s ''Jameela'' (2002) and then in Sivakumar's ''[[Urumattram|Urumaatram]]'' (2003), winning critical acclaim for his portrayal. A critic noted Sakthi as Thangavelu is "excellent " and his "eyes and body language amply reveal much more than what words can".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/archive/|title=Archive News|website=The Hindu}}</ref>

Sakthi was reported to be in a critical condition in December 2011 following a kidney problem and was shifted to a private hospital, but soon went on to make a full recovery.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tamilstar.com/news-id-director-r-c-sakthi-suffers-health-setback-and-in-critical-condition-08-12-111157.htm |title=Director R C Sakthi suffers health setback and in critical condition - Tamilstar.com |access-date=27 December 2013 |archive-date=28 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131228122257/http://www.tamilstar.com/news-id-director-r-c-sakthi-suffers-health-setback-and-in-critical-condition-08-12-111157.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> In December 2013, Sakthi collaborated again with Kamal Haasan, with the latter writing and singing a song for Sakthi's short film ''Ainthu Rojakkal'' which was produced by his son in law Ramaprabhu.

==Early life and military career==
Nair was born in a village in [[Kannur district]] in northern [[Kerala]] on 9 February 1922. At the time the village was located in the [[Malabar District]] of the [[Madras Presidency]] of the [[British Raj]]. Nair was one of eight children. His father, Appu Nair, worked as a government bill collector earning a monthly income of {{INRConvert|9|year=1922}}. During a visit by the Maharaja of [[Chirakkal, Kannur|Chirakkal]] to his school, Nair wrote and recited a poem in the Maharaja's honour. The poem impressed the Maharaja and he awarded Nair a lifetime scholarship. During his teenage years Nair met [[Communist Party of India|Communist]] leaders such as [[P. Krishna Pillai]] and [[A. K. Gopalan|A.K. Gopalan]].<ref name="Mint">{{cite web|last1=Sanjai|first1=P.R.|title=C.P.

Nair joined the [[Indian independence movement]] at the age of 13. He traveled to [[Bangalore]] in 1942 to join the [[Indian Army]], and was posted as [[wireless officer]] in [[Abbottabad]] (in present-day Pakistan).<ref name="Mint" />
He became an aid of Netaji Shubhash Chandra Bose and later came in close contact with leaders of Indian Freedom Movement.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Gupte|first=Pranay|url=https://www.livemint.com/Specials/TSpcCkhWm2bDsGmpJJcBOJ/An-appreciation-Capt-C-P-Krishnan-Nair.html|title=An appreciation: Capt.

He rose to the rank of [[Captain (armed forces)|Captain]] in the [[Maratha Light Infantry]].<ref name="Mint" />

==Later career==

The captive men and women were segregated in separate male and female wards. According to eyewitness accounts there were around 150 female captives.<ref name="howladar15122013"/> The Pakistani soldiers used to pick up women according to their choice.

After the killings, Peace Committee members buried the dead in the south western region of the jail compound.<ref name="kk14072010"/> According to eyewitness accounts many women were denied the right to cremate their husbands.

Devi's mother-in-law (i.e. Adhiraj's mother), Heera Rajawat "Maasa" ([[Roopa Diavitia]]), does not like Devi at all and Urmi Rajawat, Adhiraj's widowed sister-in-law (i.e. Adhiraj's late step-brother's wife), is always trying to win Adhiraj’s affections.

Adhiraj gives Devi a divorce after a big misunderstanding, and Maasa promises Kesari to marry her to Adhiraj. At the wedding, Adhiraj marries Devi instead of Kesari, and Kesari vows to get revenge. Eventually, Devi gets pregnant but Maasa kills Adhiraj. It is revealed that Maasa is Adhiraj's stepmother and only wants his money. Devi gives birth to a baby girl and Maasa also attempts to kill her and her child by throwing the baby off a cliff.

===25 Years Later===

The show takes a 25-year leap and focuses on Devi and Adhiraj's daughter, Devika Rajawat, who is alive and looks just like Devi. Maasa asks Devika to pose as Devi and Adhiraj's daughter in order to get Adhiraj's properties, not knowing she is in fact their daughter. In Adhiraj's will, it states that Adhiraj's child has to have been married for at least six months in order to obtain his money and properties.

Maasa brings Varun Babbar, a small time actor, to pose as a prince and marry Devika. When Devika finds out Varun's truth, she angrily breaks her engagement with him although Varun has fallen in love with Devika. Devika gets engaged to another man, who turns out to be bad and only wants Devika physically. In order to stop Devika from marrying the wrong guy, Varun marries Devika. After a lot of trouble, Devika and Varun finally fall in love and get married again.

While they were creating their love story, Dhaani Rajawat (Sakshi Sharma), Devika's cousin sister (i.e. Kesari and Mukund's daughter), also falls in love with Varun, and wants him at all costs. Kesari, who had lost Adhiraj because of Devi, does not want Dhaani to face the same loss she did, so she stages an accident with Varun. In the accident, Varun loses his mental balance and starts to act like a child.

A doctor named Daksh Shergill falls in love with Devika and wants to marry her, despite her being married to Varun. Daksh first buys out the Rajawat Mansion and then makes a deal with Devika, that he will make Varun normal again, but she will have to marry him first. Daksh and Devika fulfill their ends of the bargain, and Varun is back to normal again.

Unfortunately, Varun forgets his memories of Devika and she takes a promise to win him over again. Dhaani tries to use Varun's memory loss to marry him. Devika vows to get him back. It is also revealed that Devi is still alive, but near the brink of death.

Devika and Varun get reunited, Dhaani is arrested for attempting to kill Devika and Maasa realises her bad deeds and asks for forgiveness from Devi for what she had done to her. Devi tells her she will only forgive her if she leaves the Rajawat Mansion so Maasa leaves. The show ends on a good note.

==History==
Prior to establishment of the authority, emergency management in Odisha was not a specialised function, and was handled by the district administration. However, after the 1999 supercyclone this approach was found lacking. Due to lack of coordination on various organisations and departments, rescue and relief works were severely hampered, resulting in a death toll of about 10,000.<ref name="Middle East Institute 2017">{{cite web | title=Learning from Deaths in Disasters: The Case of Odisha, India | website=Middle East Institute | date=2017-03-05 | url=https://www.mei.edu/publications/learning-deaths-disasters-case-odisha-india | access-date=2019-08-30 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190830105408/https://www.mei.edu/publications/learning-deaths-disasters-case-odisha-india | archive-date=30 August 2019 | url-status=live }}</ref> The Government of Odisha then created a comprehensive disaster response plan, including the [[Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force]] as an agency of the Department of Revenue & Disaster Management making it the first and one of its kind disaster management and relief agency in the country. Its primary purpose was to carry out response to natural or man-made disasters and for capacity-building in disaster resiliency and crisis response. It was later renamed to its present name.

==Organisation==

== Plot ==
Ali and Alize are best friends. They have a common friend named Neha. One day Ali's mother suggests to him that he should marry Alizeh, to which he happily agrees. An excited Ali shares with Neha that he is getting married, without revealing who his mother has suggested he should marry. When Alizeh gets to know this, she gets annoyed and starts avoiding Ali for the next few days. When confronted by Ali at the office one day, she shouts at him and asks him how marriage can come between their friendship.

Ali proposes marriage to Neha. When Alizeh finds out about the proposal, she is ecstatic and actively participates in the wedding preparations. Neha tells Ali that she has always loved him and is thrilled to be his wife. Ali unwillingly marries her. On the wedding night, he confronts Alizeh and asks her to marry him, but she refuses again.

Neha and Ali are now living a happily married life, but Alizeh starts hiding herself and her feelings from others. She begins to stay out of home for long hours, comes back home late and even experiences depression. Alizeh befriends a man named Farooq Saad, who is of the age of her father and is the husband of a woman named Parizaad, who is suffering from a mental disorder. Alizeh's new friendship disturbs her mother and father.

Determined to show Ali that she can make other friends than him, a jealous Alizeh, who now hides that she repents not marrying Ali, decides to marry Farooq Saad. When Ali learns this, he gets disturbed and informs Neha about it.

Neha tells Alizeh that she is not happy with Ali and asks her to take Ali from him. She also warns Alizeh that she won't let her marry a man of that age and destroy her life. Neha asks Ali to choose between her and Alizeh.
