== Private Member Bills ==&lt;br /&gt;
Agrawal has introduced a number of Private Members&#039; Bills in [[Parliament]] over some very important issues. Some of the bills that he has introduced are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Bill, 2018 (Amendment of the First Schedule)&#039;&#039;&#039;: The Bill seeks to make stalking a non-bailable offense in line with the Justice Verma Committee recommendations. The Committee recognized stalking as a crime and recommended it to be made a non-bailable offense. But in contrast to the Committee recommendations, in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, enacted subsequently, the first offense of stalking was made bailable while any subsequent offense was made non-bailable. The bill aimed to amend the same.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/4439LS%20As%20Int....pdf|title=THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Compulsory Teaching of Environmental Education in Educational Institutions Bill, 2018:&#039;&#039;&#039; The Bill seeks to make it mandatory for environmental education to be taught as a compulsory subject at all levels of education. The Honourable [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] of India in its directive of 1991 had made it compulsory for environment education to be included in the school and college curricula. But it was observed that the Supreme Court&#039;s directive has not been implemented effectively so far.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/4278LS%20As%20Int....pdf|title=THE COMPULSORY TEACHING OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS BILL, 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2018 (Amendment of article 75, etc.):&#039;&#039;&#039; The Bill made it mandatory that at least one-third of the total number of Ministers in the Council of Ministers should be women. Women represent almost half of the country&#039;s population but have a marginal proportion in influential and decision making roles of Government, both at the Union and at the State level. Although Indian Constitution has guaranteed equal  opportunities for women in all walks of life through the fundamental right to equality, yet women&#039;s visibility in the power structure is severely limited. The bill aimed towards fielding women in power wielding institutions so that inequality in power structure can be bridged.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/4242LS%20As%20Int....pdf|title=The Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Designation of States as Sponsor of Terrorism Bill, 2017:&#039;&#039;&#039; The bill provides for designating certain states (Pakistan here) as Sponsors of Terrorism and withdraw trade and economic relations with the same, along with putting legal, travel and economic sanctions on the citizens of such state.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/2990.pdf|title=THE DESIGNATION OF STATES AS SPONSOR OF TERRORISM BILL, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill, 2016 (Amendment of sections 2 and 3):&#039;&#039;&#039; The bill aims to create a uniform education system having a common syllabus and school curriculum for all stages of elementary education across the country. It also promoted value-based uniform education system across all schools.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/1427.pdf|title=THE RIGHT OF CHILDREN TO FREE AND COMPULSORY EDUCATION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The Special Financial Assistance to the National Capital Region Bill, 2016:&#039;&#039;&#039; The bill aimed to provide for special financial assistance to the [[National Capital Region]] for the purpose of harmonized and balanced development of growth-oriented infrastructure in all areas of [[National Capital Region]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://164.100.47.4/BillsTexts/LSBillTexts/Asintroduced/252LS.pdf|title=THE SPECIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION BILL, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Whisky&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;whiskey&#039;&#039;&#039; is a type of [[liquor]] made from [[Fermentation in food processing|fermented]] [[grain]] [[mashing|mash]]. Various grains (which may be [[Malting|malted]]) are used for different varieties, including [[barley]], [[Maize|corn]], [[rye]], and [[wheat]]. Whisky is typically [[Aging (food)|aged]] in wooden [[cask]]s, which are typically made of charred [[white oak]]. Uncharred white oak casks previously used for the aging of [[Port wine|port]], [[rum]] or [[sherry]] are also sometimes used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky is a strictly regulated [[Alcoholic spirit|spirit]] worldwide with many classes and types. The typical unifying characteristics of the different classes and types are the fermentation of grains, [[distillation]], and aging in wooden barrels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The word &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;whiskey&#039;&#039;) is an [[anglicisation]] of the [[Classical Gaelic]] word {{lang|ghc|uisce}} (or {{lang|ghc|uisge}}) meaning &amp;quot;water&amp;quot; (now written as {{lang|ga|uisce}} in Modern Irish, and {{lang|gd|uisge}} in [[Scottish Gaelic]]). This Gaelic word shares its ultimate [[Indo-European_vocabulary#Natural_features|origins]] with Germanic &#039;&#039;water&#039;&#039; and Slavic &#039;&#039;voda&#039;&#039; of the same meaning. Distilled alcohol was known in [[Latin]] as {{lang|la|[[aqua vitae]]}} (&amp;quot;water of life&amp;quot;). This was [[Calque|translated]] into [[Old Irish]] as {{lang|sga|uisce beatha}}, which became [[uisce beatha]] ({{IPA-ga|ˈɪʃcə ˈbʲahə}}) in [[Irish language|Irish]] and {{lang|gd|uisge beatha}} {{IPA-gd|ˈɯʃkʲə ˈbɛhə||}} in Scottish Gaelic. Early forms of the word in English included &#039;&#039;uskebeaghe&#039;&#039; (1581), &#039;&#039;usquebaugh&#039;&#039; (1610), &#039;&#039;usquebath&#039;&#039; (1621), and &#039;&#039;usquebae&#039;&#039; (1715).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=James A. H. Murray|url=http://archive.org/details/oedxaarch|title=A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles: Founded Mainly on the Materials Collected by the Philological Society|date=1926|publisher=Clarendon Press at Oxford|others=Kragen Javier Sitaker}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Names and spellings===&lt;br /&gt;
Much is made of the word&#039;s two spellings: &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;whiskey&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Oxford English Dictionary&#039;&#039;, Second Edition: &amp;quot;In modern trade usage, Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey are thus distinguished in spelling; &#039;whisky&#039; is the usual spelling in Britain and &#039;whiskey&#039; that in the U.S.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=CowderySpelling2/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=CowderySpelling1/&amp;gt; There are two schools of thought on the issue. One is that the spelling difference is simply a matter of regional language convention for the spelling of a word, indicating that the spelling varies depending on the intended audience or the background or personal preferences of the writer (like the difference between &#039;&#039;color&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;colour&#039;&#039;; or &#039;&#039;recognize&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;recognise&#039;&#039;),&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CowderySpelling2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Cowdery, Charles K. |date=24 February 2009 |title=Why Spelling Matters |url=http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2009/02/why-spelling-matters.html |website=The Chuck Cowdery Blog}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CowderySpelling1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Cowdery, Charles K. |date=11 February 2009 |title=New York Times Buckles To Pressure From Scotch Snobs |url=http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-york-times-buckles-to-pressure-from.html |website=The Chuck Cowdery Blog}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the other is that the spelling should depend on the style or origin of the spirit being described. There is general agreement that when quoting the proper name printed on a label, one should not alter its spelling.&amp;lt;ref name=CowderySpelling2/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=CowderySpelling1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spelling &#039;&#039;whiskey&#039;&#039; is common in [[Ireland]]  and the [[United States]], while &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; is used in all other whisky-producing countries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Zandona |first=Eric |title=A World Guide to Whisk(e)y Distilleries |date=March 2013 |publisher=White Mule Press |isbn=978-0983638940 |location=Hayward |display-authors=etal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the US, the usage has not always been consistent. From the late eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, American writers used both spellings interchangeably until the introduction of newspaper style guides.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Zandona |first=Eric |title=Whiskey vs Whisky Series |url=http://www.ezdrinking.com/ezdrinking?tag=Whiskey+vs+Whisky |access-date=3 January 2015 |website=EZdrinking}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since the 1960s, American writers have increasingly used &#039;&#039;whiskey&#039;&#039; as the accepted spelling for aged grain spirits made in the US and &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; for aged grain spirits made outside the US.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Zandona |first=Eric |title=Whiskey vs Whisky: Newspapers &amp;amp; Style Guides |url=http://www.ezdrinking.com/ezdrinking/2013/11/11/whiskey-vs-whisky-style-guides |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150103225349/http://www.ezdrinking.com/ezdrinking/2013/11/11/whiskey-vs-whisky-style-guides |archive-date=3 January 2015 |access-date=3 January 2015 |website=EZdrinking}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, some prominent American brands, such as [[George Dickel]], [[Maker&#039;s Mark]], and [[Old Forester]] (all made by different companies), use the &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; spelling on their labels, and the &#039;&#039;Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits&#039;&#039;, the legal regulations for spirit in the US, also use the &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; spelling throughout.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cfr5.22&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Scotch===&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky made in Scotland is simply called &#039;&#039;whisky&#039;&#039; within Scotland, while elsewhere [and in the [[Scotch Whisky Association]] (SWA) regulations that govern its production] it is commonly called [[Scotch whisky]], or simply &amp;quot;Scotch&amp;quot; (especially in North America).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early distilling ===&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible that [[distillation]] was practised by the [[Babylonia]]ns in [[Mesopotamia]] in the [[2nd millennium BC]], with perfumes and aromatics being distilled,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Martin Levey (1956). &amp;quot;Babylonian Chemistry: A Study of Arabic and Second Millennium B.C. Perfumery&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;Osiris&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;12&#039;&#039;&#039;, p. 376-389.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but this is subject to uncertain and disputed interpretations of evidence.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest certain chemical distillations were by Greeks in [[Alexandria]] in the 1st century AD,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Forbes |first=Robert James |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XeqWOkKYn28C |title=A short history of the art of distillation: from the beginnings up to the death of Cellier Blumenthal |publisher=BRILL |year=1970 |isbn=978-90-04-00617-1 |access-date=29 June 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but these were not distillations of alcohol.  The medieval Arabs adopted the distillation technique of the Alexandrian Greeks, and written records in Arabic begin in the 9th century, but again these were not distillations of alcohol.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Distilling technology passed from the medieval Arabs to the medieval Latins, with the earliest records in Latin in the early 12th century.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Russell |first=Inge |url=https://archive.org/details/whiskytechnology00russ_601 |title=Whisky: technology, production and marketing |publisher=Academic Press |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-12-669202-0 |page=[https://archive.org/details/whiskytechnology00russ_601/page/n20 14] |url-access=limited}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest records of the distillation of alcohol are in Italy in the 13th century, where alcohol was distilled from wine.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; An early description of the technique was given by [[Ramon Llull]] (1232–1315).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Forbes1970&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Its use spread through medieval [[monasteries]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-07-27|title=The History of Whisky - The Whisky Guide|url=https://thewhiskyguide.com/the-history-of-whisky/|access-date=2022-12-29|website=thewhiskyguide.com|language=en-gb}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; largely for medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of [[colic]] and [[smallpox]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dotcom&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=History of Scotch Whisky |url=http://whisky.com/history.html |access-date=6 January 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ireland and Scotland ===&lt;br /&gt;
The art of distillation spread to Ireland and Scotland no later than the 15th century, as did the common European practice of distilling &amp;quot;aqua vitae&amp;quot;, spirit alcohol, primarily for medicinal purposes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;whisky tech&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Whiskey: Technology, Production and Marketing: Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages Series p2 Academic Press 2003&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The practice of medicinal distillation eventually passed from a monastic setting to the secular via professional medical practitioners of the time, The [[Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh#History|Guild of Barber Surgeons]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;whisky tech&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The earliest mention of whiskey in Ireland comes from the &#039;&#039;[[Annals of Clonmacnoise]]&#039;&#039;, which attributes the death of a chieftain in 1405 to &amp;quot;taking a surfeit of aqua vitae&amp;quot; at Christmas.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Annals&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last1=O&#039;Clery|first1=Michael|url=http://archive.org/details/annalsofkingdomo04ocleuoft|title=Annals of the kingdom of Ireland|last2=O&#039;Clery|first2=Cucogry|last3=O&#039;Mulconry|first3=Ferfeasa|last4=O&#039;Duigenan|first4=Cucogry|last5=O&#039;Clery|first5=Conary|last6=O&#039;Donovan|first6=John|date=1856|publisher=Dublin, Hodges, Smith, and co.|others=PIMS - University of Toronto}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the &#039;&#039;Exchequer Rolls&#039;&#039; for 1495 where malt is sent &amp;quot;To Friar [[John Cor]], by order of the king, to make aquavitae&amp;quot;, enough to make about 500 bottles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last1=Great Britain.

&lt;br /&gt;
[[James IV of Scotland]] (r. 1488–1513) reportedly had a great liking for Scotch whisky, and in 1506 the town of [[Dundee]] purchased a large amount of whisky from the Guild of Barber-Surgeons, which held the monopoly on production at the time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Distillerie OldBushmills.jpg|thumb|[[Old Bushmills Distillery]], [[County Antrim]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The distillation process was still in its infancy; whisky itself was not allowed to age, and as a result tasted very raw and brutal compared to today&#039;s versions. Renaissance-era whisky was also very potent and not diluted. Over time whisky evolved into a much smoother drink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a royal licence to distil [[Irish whiskey]] from 1608, the [[Old Bushmills Distillery]] in [[Northern Ireland]] is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ciaran Brady (2000). Encyclopedia of Ireland: an A-Z guide to its people, places, history, and culture. Oxford University Press, p.11&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 18th century ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1707, the [[Acts of Union 1707|Acts of Union]] merged England and Scotland, and thereafter taxes on it rose dramatically.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;guide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=The History of Whisky |url=http://www.thewhiskyguide.com/Facts/History.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125105734/http://www.thewhiskyguide.com/Facts/History.html |archive-date=25 January 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following parliament&#039;s divisive [[malt tax]] of 1725, most of Scotland&#039;s distillation was either shut down or forced underground. Scotch whisky was hidden under altars, in coffins, and in any available space to avoid the governmental [[tax collector|excisemen]] or revenuers.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dotcom&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Scottish distillers, operating out of homemade stills, took to distilling whisky at night when the darkness hid the smoke from the stills. For this reason, the drink became known as [[moonshine]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=What Is Whiskey?|url=https://www.thespruceeats.com/history-of-whisky-1807685|access-date=2022-12-29|website=The Spruce Eats|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At one point, it was estimated that over half of Scotland&#039;s whisky output was illegal.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;guide&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In America, whisky was used as currency during the [[American Revolution]]; [[George Washington]] operated [[George Washington&#039;s Gristmill#Distillery|a large distillery]] at [[Mount Vernon]]. Given the distances and primitive transportation network of colonial America, farmers often found it easier and more profitable to convert corn to whisky and transport it to market in that form. It also was a highly coveted sundry and when an additional excise tax was levied against it in 1791, the [[Whiskey Rebellion]] erupted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=12 November 2010 |title=Kevin R.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== 19th century ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Erskine Nicol, A Nip against the Cold (1869).jpg|thumb|right|upright|A man pours some whisky into a flask in this 1869 oil painting by Scottish artist [[Erskine Nicol]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drinking of Scotch whisky was introduced to India in the nineteenth century. The first distillery in India was built by Edward Dyer at [[Kasauli]] in the late 1820s. The operation was soon shifted to nearby [[Solan]] (close to the British [[summer capital]] [[Shimla]]), as there was an abundant supply of fresh spring water there.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Harrison|first=Joel|date=2011-12-29|title=Whisky in India|url=https://www.livemint.com/Companies/ny0g0a6Vo9Xz7DlB2TGcYI/Whisky-in-India.html|access-date=2022-12-29|website=mint|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1823, the UK passed the Excise Act, legalizing the distillation (for a fee), and this put a practical end to the large-scale production of Scottish moonshine.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dotcom&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1831, [[Aeneas Coffey]] patented the [[column still|Coffey still]], allowing for a cheaper and more efficient distillation of whisky. In 1850, Andrew Usher began producing a [[blended whisky]] that mixed traditional [[pot still]] whisky with that from the new Coffey still. The new distillation method was scoffed at by some Irish distillers, who clung to their traditional [[pot still]]s. Many Irish contended that the new product was, in fact, not whisky at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Irish 1000&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Magee |first=Malachy |title=Irish Whiskey – A 1000 year tradition |publisher=[[O&#039;Brien press]] |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-86278-228-3 |page=144}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the 1880s, the French [[brandy]] industry was devastated by the [[phylloxera]] pest that ruined much of the grape crop; as a result, whisky became the primary liquor in many markets.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dotcom&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 20th century ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] era in the United States lasting from 1920 to 1933, all alcohol sales were banned in the country. The federal government made an exemption for whisky prescribed by a doctor and sold through licensed pharmacies. During this time, the [[Walgreens]] pharmacy chain grew from 20 retail stores to almost 400.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Segal |first=David |date=26 June 2010 |title=When Capitalism Meets Cannabis |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/27/business/27pot.html}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Distillation===&lt;br /&gt;
A [[still]] for making whisky is usually made of [[copper]], since it removes [[sulfur]]-based compounds from the alcohol that would make it unpleasant to drink.  Modern stills are made of stainless steel with copper innards (piping, for example, will be lined with copper along with copper plate inlays along still walls). The simplest standard [[distillation]] apparatus is commonly known as a [[pot still]], consisting of a single heated chamber and a vessel to collect purified alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Column still]]s are frequently used in the production of [[grain whisky]] and are the most commonly used type of still in the production of [[Bourbon whiskey|bourbon]] and other American whiskeys. Column stills behave like a series of single pot stills, formed in a long vertical tube. Whereas a single pot still charged with wine might yield a vapour enriched to 40–60% alcohol, a column still can achieve a vapour alcohol content of 95.6%; an [[azeotrope|azeotropic]] mixture of alcohol and water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Aging===&lt;br /&gt;
Whiskies do not mature in the bottle, only in the [[barrel|cask]], so the &amp;quot;age&amp;quot; of a whisky is only the time between distillation and bottling. This reflects how much the cask has interacted with the whisky, changing its chemical makeup and taste. Whiskies that have been bottled for many years may have a rarity value, but are not &amp;quot;older&amp;quot; and not necessarily &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; than a more recent whisky that matured in wood for a similar time. After a decade or two, additional aging in a barrel does not necessarily improve a whisky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Stone |first=Jason |date=18 July 2012 |title=Whiskey 101 |url=https://www.whiskeystill.net/blogs/whiskey-still-co-blog/6356446-whiskey-101 |access-date=14 July 2017 |publisher=The Whiskey Still Company}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While aging in wooden casks, especially [[American oak]] and [[Quercus robur|French oak]] casks, whisky undergoes six processes that contribute to its final flavour: [[extraction (chemistry)|extraction]], [[evaporation]], [[oxidation]], [[concentration]], [[filtration]], and [[colour]]ation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Nickles, Jane, 2015 Certified Specialist of Spirits Study Guide, Society of Wine Educators, p. 23 (2015).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Extraction in particular results in whisky acquiring a number of compounds, including aldehydes and acids such as [[vanillin]], [[vanillic acid]], and [[syringaldehyde]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jeffery, John D.E., Aging of Whiskey Spirits in Barrels of Non-Traditional Volume, Master&#039;s Thesis, Michigan State University, p. 30 (2012).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The casks used for aging [[bourbon whiskey]] are required to be new (and charred); after being used for this purpose, these casks are typically exported for use in the aging of other whiskies elsewhere. Distillers will sometimes age their whiskey in barrels previously used to age other spirits, such as [[Port wine|port]], [[rum]] or [[sherry]], to impart particular flavours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Packaging===&lt;br /&gt;
Most whiskies are sold at or near an alcoholic strength of 40% [[Alcohol by volume|abv]], which is the statutory minimum in some countries&amp;lt;ref name=cfr5.22/&amp;gt; – although the strength can vary, and cask-strength whisky may have as much as twice that alcohol percentage. Enthusiasts often prefer cask strength whisky for its concentrated flavors and customizable dilution experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Exports===&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky is probably the best known of Scotland&#039;s manufactured products. Exports have increased by 87% in the decade to 2012 and it contributes over £4.25 billion to the UK economy, making up a quarter of all its food and drink revenues.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Scotch Whisky Association |title=Scotch Whisky Exports Hit Record Level |url=http://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/documents/scotch-whisky-exports-hit-record-level/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130523183816/http://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/documents/scotch-whisky-exports-hit-record-level/ |archive-date=23 May 2013 |access-date=12 June 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2012, the US was the largest market for Scotch whisky (£655 million), followed by France (£535 million).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Scottgov&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=27 March 2012 |title=Record high for food and drink |url=http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2012/03/foodanddrinkexports270312 |access-date=17 January 2014 |publisher=Government of Scotland}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also one of the UK&#039;s overall top five manufacturing export earners and it supports around 35,000 jobs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Scotch Whisky Association |title=Scotch Whisky Briefing 2013 |url=http://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/news-media/media-press/publications/publication/2039/scotch-whisky-briefing-2013/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130507123559/http://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/news-media/media-press/publications/publication/2039/scotch-whisky-briefing-2013/ |archive-date=7 May 2013 |access-date=12 June 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Principal whisky producing areas include [[Strathspey, Scotland|Speyside]] and the [[Islay|Isle of Islay]], where there are nine distilleries providing a major source of employment.

==Types==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auchentoshan03.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Copper [[pot still]]s at [[Auchentoshan Distillery]] in [[Scotch Whisky|Scotland]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WhiskyMaking Kilned BarleyMalt.jpg|thumb|right|Malted barley is an ingredient of some whiskies.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky or whisky-like products are produced in most grain-growing areas. They differ in base product, alcoholic content, and quality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Malt whisky]] – made from [[malt|malted barley]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Grain whisky]] – made from any type of grain&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malts and grains are combined in various ways:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Single malt whisky]]&#039;&#039; is whisky from a single distillery made from a mash that uses only one particular malted grain. Unless the whisky is described as &#039;&#039;single-cask&#039;&#039;, it contains whisky from many casks, and different years, so the blender can achieve a taste recognisable as typical of the distillery. In most cases, single malts bear the name of the distillery, with an age statement and perhaps some indication of some special treatments, such as maturation in a [[port wine]] cask.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Blended malt whisky]]&#039;&#039; is a mixture of single malt whiskies from different distilleries. If whisky is labelled &amp;quot;pure malt&amp;quot; or just &amp;quot;malt&amp;quot; it is almost certainly a blended malt whisky. This was formerly called a &amp;quot;vatted malt&amp;quot; whisky.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Blended whisky]]&#039;&#039; is made from a mixture of different types of whisky. A blend may contain whisky from many distilleries so that the blender can produce a flavour consistent with the brand. The brand name may, therefore, omit the name of a distillery. Most Scotch, Irish and Canadian whisky is sold as part of a blend, even when the spirits are the product of one distillery, as is common in Canada.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=De Kergommeaux |first=Davin |title=Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert |publisher=McClelland &amp;amp; Stewart |year=2012 |isbn=978-0-7710-2743-7 |page=58}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; American blended whisky may contain [[neutral spirits]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Cask strength]]&#039;&#039; (also known as &#039;&#039;barrel proof&#039;&#039;) whiskies are rare, and usually, only the very best whiskies are bottled in this way. They are bottled from the cask undiluted or only lightly diluted.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Single cask]]&#039;&#039; (also known as &#039;&#039;single barrel&#039;&#039;) whiskies are bottled from an individual cask, and often the bottles are labelled with specific barrel and bottle numbers. The taste of these whiskies may vary substantially from cask to cask within a brand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== National varieties ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===American===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|American whiskey}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DecaturBourbons.jpg|right|thumb|upright|Various American whiskeys on store shelves]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
American whiskey is distilled from a fermented mash of [[cereal grain]]. It must have the taste, aroma, and other characteristics commonly attributed to whiskey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some types of whiskey listed in the United States federal regulations&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cfr5.22&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits, Title 27 Code of Federal Regulations, Pt. 5.22 |url=http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/aprqtr/pdf/27cfr5.22.pdf |access-date=17 October 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; are:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Bourbon whiskey]]: made from [[Mashing|mash]] that consists of at least 51% corn ([[maize]]) and aged in new charred American white oak barrels.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Corn whiskey]]: made from mash that consists of at least 80% corn and is not aged, or, if aged, is aged in uncharred or used barrels. &lt;br /&gt;
* [[Malt whisky|Malt whiskey]]: made from mash that consists of at least 51% malted [[barley]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Rye whiskey]]: made from mash that consists of at least 51% [[rye]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Rye malt whiskey]]: made from mash that consists of at least 51% malted rye&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Wheat whiskey]]: made from mash that consists of at least 51% [[wheat]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These types of American whiskey must be distilled to no more than 80% [[alcohol by volume]], and barrelled at no more than 125 [[alcoholic proof|proof]]. Only water may be added to the final product; the addition of colouring or flavouring is prohibited. These whiskeys must be aged in new charred-oak containers, except for corn whiskey, which does not have to be aged. If it is aged, it must be in uncharred oak barrels or in used barrels. Corn whiskey is usually unaged and sold as a legal version of [[moonshine]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no minimum aging period required for a spirit to legally be called whiskey. If one of these whiskey types reaches two years aging or beyond, it is additionally designated as &#039;&#039;[[straight whiskey|straight]]&#039;&#039;, e.g., &#039;&#039;straight rye whiskey&#039;&#039;. A whiskey that fulfils all above requirements but derives from less than 51% of any one specific grain can be called simply a &#039;&#039;straight whiskey&#039;&#039; without naming a grain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
US regulations recognize other whiskey categories,&amp;lt;ref name=cfr5.22/&amp;gt; including:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Blended whiskey]]: a mixture that contains a blend of straight whiskeys and [[neutral grain spirits]] (NGS), and may also contain flavourings and colourings. The percentage of NGS must be disclosed on the label and may be as much at 80% on a proof gallon basis.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Grain whisky|Light whiskey]]: produced in the US at more than 80% [[alcohol by volume]] and stored in used or uncharred new oak containers&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Spirit whiskey]]: a mixture of neutral spirits and at least 5% of certain stricter categories of whiskey&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another important labelling in the marketplace is [[Tennessee whiskey]], which includes brands such as [[Jack Daniel&#039;s]], [[George Dickel]], [[Collier and McKeel]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Collier and McKeel |url=http://collierandmckeel.com/ |website=collierandmckeel.com |access-date=15 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110813203918/http://collierandmckeel.com/ |archive-date=August 13, 2011 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[Prichard&#039;s Tennessee Whiskey|Benjamin Prichard&#039;s]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Benjamin Prichard&#039;s Tennessee Whiskey |url=http://www.prichardsdistillery.com/whiskey/tennessee-whiskey.cfm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715112723/http://www.prichardsdistillery.com/whiskey/tennessee-whiskey.cfm |archive-date=15 July 2011 |access-date=9 July 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The main difference defining a Tennessee whiskey is that it must be [[Carbon filtering|filtered]] through [[sugar maple]] [[charcoal]] before aging, known as the [[Lincoln County Process]].

{{Main|Canadian whisky}}&lt;br /&gt;
By Canadian law, Canadian whiskies must be produced and aged in Canada, be distilled from a fermented mash of cereal grain, be aged in wood barrels with a capacity limit of {{convert|700|L|USgal impgal|0}} for not less than three years, and &amp;quot;possess the aroma, taste and character generally attributed to Canadian whisky&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;B.02.020&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Branch|first=Legislative Services|date=2022-09-27|title=Consolidated federal laws of Canada, Food and Drug Regulations|url=https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._870/page-57.html|access-date=2022-12-29|website=laws-lois.justice.gc.ca}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The terms &amp;quot;Canadian Whisky&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Rye Whisky&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Canadian Rye Whisky&amp;quot; are legally indistinguishable in Canada and do not require any specific grain in their production and are often blends of two or more grains.

&lt;br /&gt;
Canadian whiskies are available throughout the world and are a culturally significant export. Well known brands include [[Crown Royal]], [[Canadian Club]], [[Seagram&#039;s]], and [[Wiser&#039;s]] among others. The historic popularity of Canadian whisky in the United States is partly a result of [[rum runners]] illegally importing it into the country during the period of [[American Prohibition]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Danish===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Denmark]] began producing whisky early in 1974. The first Danish single malt to go on sale was Lille Gadegård from Bornholm, in 2005.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=5 May 2009 |title=Første danske whisky i 35 år |trans-title=First Danish whiskey for 35 years |url=http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Bornholm/Nyheder/Bornholm/2009/05/05/05110016.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023192225/http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Bornholm/Nyheder/Bornholm/2009/05/05/05110016.htm |archive-date=23 October 2012 |access-date=15 April 2013 |website=Dr.dk |language=da}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Lille Gadegård is a winery as well, and uses its own wine casks to mature whisky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second Danish distilled single malt whisky for sale was Edition No.1 from the Braunstein microbrewery and distillery. It was distilled in 2007, using water from the Greenlandic ice sheet, and entered the market in March 2010.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=22 March 2010 |title=&#039;&#039;B.T.&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;Dansk whisky destilleres på indlandsis&amp;quot;, (in Danish) |url=http://www.bt.dk/danmark/dansk-whisky-destilleres-paa-indlandsis |access-date=15 April 2013 |publisher=Bt.dk}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===English===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|English whisky}}&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently{{when|date=October 2021}} at least eight distilleries producing English whisky.

German whisky production is a relatively recent phenomenon having only started in the early 1990s. The styles produced resemble those made in Ireland, Scotland and the United States: single malts, blends, wheat, and bourbon-like styles. There is no standard spelling of German whiskies with distilleries using both &amp;quot;whisky&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;whiskey&amp;quot;. In 2008 there were 23 distilleries in Germany producing whisky.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;autogenerated254&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=MaClean |first=Charles |url=https://archive.org/details/whiskey00macl |title=Whiskey |publisher=Dorling Kindersley |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-7566-3349-3 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/whiskey00macl/page/n254 254]–265 |url-access=limited}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Although distillation of whisky in Wales began in Middle Ages there were no commercially operated distilleries during the 20th century. The rise of the temperance movement saw the decline of the commercial production of liquor during the 19th century and in 1894 Welsh whisky production ceased. The revival of Welsh whisky began in the 1990s.  Initially a &amp;quot;Prince of Wales&amp;quot; malt whisky was sold as Welsh whisky but was simply blended scotch bottled in Wales. A lawsuit by Scotch distillers ended this enterprise.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Kelly |first=Amanda |date=8 May 2000 |title=Welsh will make a rare bit of whiskey |work=The Independent |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/welsh-will-make-a-rare-bit-of-whiskey-718646.html |url-status=dead |access-date=26 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091125094155/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/welsh-will-make-a-rare-bit-of-whiskey-718646.html |archive-date=25 November 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2000, Penderyn Distillery started production of [[Penderyn (whisky)|Penderyn single malt whisky]].

==Chemistry==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Overview===&lt;br /&gt;
Whiskies and other [[distilled beverage]]s, such as [[cognac (drink)|cognac]] and [[rum]], are complex beverages that contain a vast range of [[flavouring]] compounds, of which some 200 to 300 are easily detected by chemical analysis. The flavouring chemicals include &amp;quot;[[carbonyl]] compounds, alcohols, [[carboxylic acid]]s and their [[ester]]s, nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds, [[tannin]]s, and other [[natural phenol|polyphenolic]] compounds, [[terpene]]s, and oxygen-containing, [[heterocyclic compound]]s&amp;quot; and esters of [[fatty acids]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Maarse |first=H. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_OvXjhLUz-oC |title=Volatile Compounds in Foods and Beverages |publisher=CRC Press |year=1991 |isbn=978-0-8247-8390-7 |page=548}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The nitrogen compounds include [[pyridine]]s, [[picoline]]s and [[pyrazine]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Belitz |first1=Hans-Dieter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_QWbLTSL6HoC |title=Food Chemistry |last2=Schieberle |first2=Peter |last3=Grosch |first3=Werner |publisher=[[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-3-540-40818-5 |page=936}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The sulfur compounds include thiophenes and polysulfides which seem to contribute to whiskey&#039;s roasted character.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Cole 361–385&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Cole |first1=V. C. |title=Fermented Beverage Production |last2=Noble |first2=A. C. |date=1 January 1995 |publisher=Springer US |isbn=9781475752168 |editor-last=Lea |editor-first=A. G. H. |pages=361–385 |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-1-4757-5214-4_14 |editor-last2=Piggott |editor-first2=J. R.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flavours from treating the malt===&lt;br /&gt;
The distinctive smoky flavour found in various types of whisky, especially Scotch&amp;lt;!--single Islay malts particularly --&amp;gt;, is due to the use of [[peat]] smoke to treat the [[malt]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flavours from distillation===&lt;br /&gt;
The flavouring of whisky is partially determined by the presence of [[Congener (alcohol)|congeners]] and [[fusel oil]]s. Fusel oils are higher alcohols than [[ethanol]], are mildly [[toxic]], and have a strong, disagreeable smell and taste. An excess of fusel oils in whisky is considered a defect. A variety of methods are employed in the distillation process to remove unwanted fusel oils.  Traditionally, American distillers focused on secondary filtration using [[charcoal]], [[gravel]], [[sand]], or [[linen]] to remove undesired distillates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Acetal]]s are rapidly formed in distillates and a great many are found in distilled beverages, the most prominent being [[acetaldehyde]] diethyl acetal ([[1,1-diethoxyethane]]). Among whiskies the highest levels are associated with malt whisky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Maarse |first=H. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_OvXjhLUz-oC |title=Volatile Compounds in Foods and Beverages |publisher=CRC Press |year=1991 |isbn=978-0-8247-8390-7 |page=553}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This acetal is a principal flavour compound in [[sherry]], and contributes fruitiness to the aroma.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=June 2007 |url=http://www.beerbrewer.co.uk/2007/06/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071219120702/https://www.beerbrewer.co.uk/2007/06/ |archive-date=19 December 2007 |access-date=8 December 2007 |publisher=The Beer Brewer}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The diketone [[diacetyl]] (2,3-butanedione) has a buttery aroma and is present in almost all distilled beverages. Whiskies and cognacs typically contain more of this than [[vodka]]s, but significantly less than rums or [[brandy|brandies]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Maarse |first=H. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_OvXjhLUz-oC |title=Volatile Compounds in Foods and Beverages |publisher=CRC Press |year=1991 |isbn=978-0-8247-8390-7 |page=554}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Polysulfides and thiophenes enter whiskey through the distillation process and contribute to its roasted flavour.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Cole 361–385&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flavours from oak===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Oak Barrel.png|thumb|A charred oak barrel used to age whiskey]]&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky that has been aged in [[Barrel#Whiskey|oak barrels]] absorbs substances from the wood. One of these is [[cis-3-methyl-4-octanolide]], known as the &amp;quot;whisky [[lactone]]&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;quercus lactone&amp;quot;, a compound with a strong [[coconut]] aroma.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Aromas and Flavours |url=http://www.wine-pages.com/guests/tom/taste5.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018025957/http://www.wine-pages.com/guests/tom/taste5.htm |archive-date=18 October 2007 |access-date=8 December 2007 |publisher=Wine-Pages.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Belitz |first1=Hans-Dieter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_QWbLTSL6HoC |title=Food Chemistry |last2=Schieberle |first2=Peter |last3=Grosch |first3=Werner |publisher=[[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-3-540-40818-5 |page=383}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commercially charred oaks are rich in [[natural phenol|phenolic compounds]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=What Is The Chemistry Of Whisky? |url=https://topwhiskies.com/blogs/whisky-blog/what-is-the-chemistry-of-whisky |access-date=2022-07-11 |website=TopWhiskies |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; One study identified 40 different phenolic compounds. The [[coumarin]] [[scopoletin]] is present in whisky, with the highest level reported in [[Bourbon whiskey]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Maarse |first=H. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_OvXjhLUz-oC |title=Volatile Compounds in Foods and Beverages |publisher=CRC Press |year=1991 |isbn=978-0-8247-8390-7 |page=574}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an experiment, whiskey aged 3 years in [[orbit]] on the [[International Space Station]] tasted and [[High-performance liquid chromatography|measured]] significantly different from similar test subjects in [[gravity]] on Earth. Particularly, wood extractives were more present in the space samples.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Grush |first=Loren |date=10 September 2015 |title=Whiskey aged in space tastes like throat lozenges and rubbery smoke |url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/9/10/9300435/whiskey-space-taste-test-ardbeg-distillery-nanoracks |access-date=24 May 2016 |website=The Verge}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flavours and colouring from additives===&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the local regulations, additional flavourings and colouring compounds may be added to the whisky. [[Canadian whisky]] may contain caramel and flavouring in addition to the distilled mash spirits. Scotch whisky may contain added [[caramel color|(E150A) caramel colouring]], but no other additives. The addition of flavourings is not allowed in [[American whiskey|American]] &amp;quot;straight&amp;quot; whiskey, but is allowed in American blends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chill filtration===&lt;br /&gt;
Whisky is often &amp;quot;[[chill filtering|chill filtered]]&amp;quot;: chilled to precipitate out fatty acid esters and then filtered to remove them. Most whiskies are bottled this way, unless specified as &#039;&#039;unchillfiltered&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;non-chill filtered&#039;&#039;. This is done primarily for cosmetic reasons. Unchillfiltered whiskies often turn cloudy when stored at cool temperatures or when cool water is added to them, and this is perfectly normal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Chill Filtration |url=http://www.whiskyforeveryone.com/whisky_basics/chill_filtration.html |access-date=21 March 2013 |website=Whiskey Basics |publisher=Whisky for Everyone}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Transmission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When people with active pulmonary TB cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or spit, they expel infectious [[aerosol]] droplets 0.5 to 5.0 [[µm]] in diameter.

During this process, the bacterium is enveloped by the macrophage and stored temporarily in a membrane-bound vesicle called a phagosome. The phagosome then combines with a lysosome to create a phagolysosome. In the phagolysosome, the cell attempts to use [[reactive oxygen species]] and acid to kill the bacterium.  However, &#039;&#039;M. tuberculosis&#039;&#039; has a thick, waxy [[mycolic acid]] capsule that protects it from these toxic substances. &#039;&#039;M. tuberculosis&#039;&#039; is able to reproduce inside the macrophage and will eventually kill the immune cell.&lt;br /&gt;

Tuberculosis is classified as one of the [[granuloma]]tous inflammatory diseases. [[Macrophage]]s, [[epithelioid cell]]s, [[T cell|T lymphocytes]], [[B cell|B lymphocytes]], and [[fibroblast]]s &amp;lt;!-- are among the cells that --&amp;gt; aggregate to form granulomas, with [[lymphocytes]] surrounding the infected macrophages. When other macrophages attack the infected macrophage, they fuse together to form a giant multinucleated cell in the alveolar lumen. The granuloma may prevent dissemination of the mycobacteria and provide a local environment for interaction of cells of the immune system.&amp;lt;ref name=Grosset /&amp;gt; However, more recent evidence suggests that the bacteria use the granulomas to avoid destruction by the host&#039;s immune system.  Macrophages and [[dendritic cell]]s in the granulomas are unable to present antigen to lymphocytes; thus the immune response is suppressed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Bozzano F, Marras F, De Maria A | title = Immunology of tuberculosis | journal = Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases | volume = 6 | issue = 1 | page= e2014027 | year = 2014 | pmid = 24804000 | pmc = 4010607 | doi = 10.4084/MJHID.2014.027 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bacteria inside the granuloma can become dormant, resulting in latent infection. Another feature of the granulomas is the development of abnormal cell death ([[necrosis]]) in the center of [[Tubercle (anatomy)|tubercles]].  To the naked eye, this has the texture of soft, white cheese and is termed [[caseous necrosis]].&amp;lt;ref name=Grosset&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Grosset J | title = Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the extracellular compartment: an underestimated adversary | journal = Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | volume = 47 | issue = 3 | pages = 833–36 | date = March 2003 | pmid = 12604509 | pmc = 149338 | doi = 10.1128/AAC.47.3.833-836.2003 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In many people, the infection waxes and wanes.

During active disease, some of these cavities are joined to the air passages ([[bronchi]]) and this material can be coughed up. It contains living bacteria and thus can spread the infection. Treatment with appropriate [[antibiotic]]s kills bacteria and allows healing to take place.

=== Public health ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public health campaigns which have focused on overcrowding, public spitting and regular sanitation (including hand washing) during the 1800s helped to either interrupt or slow spread which when combined with contact tracing, isolation and treatment helped to dramatically curb the transmission of both tuberculosis and other airborne diseases which led to the [[Tuberculosis elimination|elimination of tuberculosis]] as a major public health issue in most developed economies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Clark M, Riben P, Nowgesic E | title = The association of housing density, isolation and tuberculosis in Canadian First Nations communities | journal = International Journal of Epidemiology | volume = 31 | issue = 5 | pages = 940–945 | date = October 2002 | pmid = 12435764 | doi = 10.1093/ije/31.5.940 | doi-access = free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Barberis I, Bragazzi NL, Galluzzo L, Martini M | title = The history of tuberculosis: from the first historical records to the isolation of Koch&#039;s bacillus | journal = Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene | volume = 58 | issue = 1 | pages = E9–E12 | date = March 2017 | pmid = 28515626 | pmc = 5432783 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Other risk factors which worsened TB spread such as malnutrition were also ameliorated, but since the emergence of HIV a new population of immunocompromised individuals was available for TB to infect.&lt;br /&gt;

Treatment of TB uses antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Effective TB treatment is difficult, due to the unusual structure and chemical composition of the mycobacterial [[Cord factor|cell wall]], which hinders the entry of drugs and makes many antibiotics ineffective.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Brennan PJ, Nikaido H | title = The envelope of mycobacteria | journal = Annual Review of Biochemistry | volume = 64 | pages = 29–63 | year = 1995 | pmid = 7574484 | doi = 10.1146/annurev.bi.64.070195.000333 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Progression from TB infection to overt TB disease occurs when the bacilli overcome the immune system defenses and begin to multiply. In primary TB disease (some 1–5% of cases), this occurs soon after the initial infection.&amp;lt;ref name=Robbins/&amp;gt; However, in the majority of cases, a [[Latent tuberculosis|latent infection]] occurs with no obvious symptoms.&amp;lt;ref name=Robbins/&amp;gt; These dormant bacilli produce active tuberculosis in 5–10% of these latent cases, often many years after infection.&amp;lt;ref name=Pet2005/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The risk of reactivation increases with [[immunosuppression]], such as that caused by infection with HIV.

=== At-risk groups ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tuberculosis is closely linked to both overcrowding and [[malnutrition]], making it one of the principal [[diseases of poverty]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lancet11&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Those at high risk thus include: people who inject illicit drugs, inhabitants and employees of locales where vulnerable people gather (e.g., prisons and homeless shelters), medically underprivileged and resource-poor communities, high-risk ethnic minorities, children in close contact with high-risk category patients, and health-care providers serving these patients.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Griffith_1996&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal|vauthors=Griffith DE, Kerr CM|date=August 1996|title=Tuberculosis: disease of the past, disease of the present|journal=Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing|volume=11|issue=4|pages=240–45|doi=10.1016/S1089-9472(96)80023-2|pmid=8964016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Socioeconomic status (SES) strongly affects TB risk. People of low SES are both more likely to contract TB and to be more severely affected by the disease. Those with low SES are more likely to be affected by risk factors for developing TB (e.g., malnutrition, indoor air pollution, HIV co-infection, etc.), and are additionally more likely to be exposed to crowded and poorly ventilated spaces. Inadequate healthcare also means that people with active disease who facilitate spread are not diagnosed and treated promptly; sick people thus remain in the infectious state and (continue to) spread the infection.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Geographical epidemiology ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The distribution of tuberculosis is not uniform across the globe; about 80% of the population in many African, Caribbean, South Asian, and eastern European countries test positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the U.S. population test positive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Robbins&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Hopes of totally controlling the disease have been dramatically dampened because of many factors, including the difficulty of developing an effective vaccine, the expensive and time-consuming diagnostic process, the necessity of many months of treatment, the increase in HIV-associated tuberculosis, and the emergence of drug-resistant cases in the 1980s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lancet11&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In developed countries, tuberculosis is less common and is found mainly in urban areas. In Europe, deaths from TB fell from 500 out of 100,000 in 1850 to 50 out of 100,000 by 1950. Improvements in public health were reducing tuberculosis even before the arrival of antibiotics, although the disease remained a significant threat to public health, such that when the [[Medical Research Council (UK)|Medical Research Council]] was formed in Britain in 1913 its initial focus was tuberculosis research.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Medical Research Council (UK)|Medical Research Council]].[http://www.mrc.ac.uk/index/about/about-history/about-history-2.htm Origins of the MRC.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411164838/http://www.mrc.ac.uk/index/about/about-history/about-history-2.htm |date=11 April 2008 }} Accessed 7 October 2006.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During the first half of the 1900s, the risk of transmission from this source was dramatically reduced after the application of the [[pasteurization]] process. Koch announced a [[glycerine]] extract of the tubercle bacilli as a &amp;quot;remedy&amp;quot; for tuberculosis in 1890, calling it &amp;quot;tuberculin&amp;quot;. Although it was not effective, it was later successfully adapted as a screening test for the presence of pre-symptomatic tuberculosis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Waddington K | title = To stamp out &#039;so terrible a malady&#039;: bovine tuberculosis and tuberculin testing in Britain, 1890–1939 | journal = Medical History | volume = 48 | issue = 1 | pages = 29–48 | date = January 2004 | pmid = 14968644 | pmc = 546294 | doi = 10.1017/S0025727300007043 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[World Tuberculosis Day]] is marked on 24 March each year, the anniversary of Koch&#039;s original scientific announcement.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Albert Calmette]] and [[Camille Guérin]] achieved the first genuine success in immunization against tuberculosis in 1906, using attenuated bovine-strain tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis caused widespread public concern in the 19th and early 20th centuries as the disease became common among the urban poor. In 1815, one in four deaths in England was due to &amp;quot;consumption&amp;quot;. By 1918, TB still caused one in six deaths in France.{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}} After TB was determined to be contagious, in the 1880s, it was put on a [[List of notifiable diseases|notifiable-disease]] list in Britain; campaigns started to stop people from spitting in public places, and the infected poor were &amp;quot;encouraged&amp;quot; to enter [[sanatorium|sanatoria]] that resembled prisons (the sanatoria for the middle and upper classes offered excellent care and constant medical attention).&amp;lt;ref name =sanatoria/&amp;gt; Whatever the benefits of the &amp;quot;fresh air&amp;quot; and labor in the sanatoria, even under the best conditions, 50% of those who entered died within five years ({{circa}} 1916).&amp;lt;ref name =sanatoria/&amp;gt; When the [[Medical Research Council (UK)|Medical Research Council]] formed in Britain in 1913, it initially focused on tuberculosis research.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book | vauthors = Hannaway C |title= Biomedicine in the twentieth century: practices, policies, and politics|year= 2008|publisher= IOS Press|location= Amsterdam|isbn=978-1-58603-832-8|page= 233|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=o5HBxyg5APIC&amp;amp;pg=PA233|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150907185226/https://books.google.com/books?id=o5HBxyg5APIC&amp;amp;pg=PA233|archive-date= 7 September 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!-- Current reemergence --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Because of the emergence of [[multidrug-resistant tuberculosis]] (MDR-TB), surgery has been re-introduced for certain cases of TB infections. It involves the removal of infected chest cavities (&amp;quot;bullae&amp;quot;) in the lungs to reduce the number of bacteria and to increase exposure of the remaining bacteria to antibiotics in the bloodstream.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Lalloo UG, Naidoo R, Ambaram A | s2cid = 24221563 | title = Recent advances in the medical and surgical treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis | journal = Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine | volume = 12 | issue = 3 | pages = 179–85 | date = May 2006 | pmid = 16582672 | doi = 10.1097/01.mcp.0000219266.27439.52 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hopes of eliminating TB ended with the rise of [[Antibiotic resistant|drug-resistant]] strains in the 1980s.

A 2014 [[Economist Intelligence Unit|EIU]]-healthcare report finds there is a need to address apathy and urges for increased funding. The report cites among others Lucica Ditui &amp;quot;[TB] is like an orphan. It has been neglected even in countries with a high burden and often forgotten by donors and those investing in health interventions.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slow progress has led to frustration, expressed by the executive director of the [[Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria]] – Mark Dybul: &amp;quot;we have the tools to end TB as a pandemic and public health threat on the planet, but we are not doing it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Several international organizations are pushing for more transparency in treatment, and more countries are implementing mandatory reporting of cases to the government as of 2014, although adherence is often variable. Commercial treatment providers may at times overprescribe second-line drugs as well as supplementary treatment, promoting demands for further regulations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The government of Brazil provides universal TB care, which reduces this problem.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Conversely, falling rates of TB infection may not relate to the number of programs directed at reducing infection rates but may be tied to an increased level of education, income, and health of the population.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Costs of the disease, as calculated by the [[World Bank]] in 2009 may exceed US$150&amp;amp;nbsp;billion per year in &amp;quot;high burden&amp;quot; countries.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Lack of progress eradicating the disease may also be due to lack of patient follow-up – as among the 250 million [[migration in China|rural migrants in China]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stigma ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slow progress in preventing the disease may in part be due to [[social stigma|stigma]] associated with TB.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Stigma may be due to the fear of transmission from affected individuals. This stigma may additionally arise due to links between TB and poverty, and in [[AIDS in Africa|Africa, AIDS]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Such stigmatization may be both real and perceived; for example, in Ghana, individuals with TB are banned from attending public gatherings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Courtwright A, Turner AN | title = Tuberculosis and stigmatization: pathways and interventions | journal = Public Health Reports | volume = 125 Suppl 4 | issue = 4_suppl | pages = 34–42 | date = Jul–Aug 2010 | pmid = 20626191 | pmc = 2882973 | doi = 10.1177/00333549101250S407 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stigma towards TB may result in delays in seeking treatment,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; lower treatment compliance, and family members keeping cause of death secret&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; – allowing the disease to spread further.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In contrast, in Russia stigma was associated with increased treatment compliance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; TB stigma also affects socially marginalized individuals to a greater degree and varies between regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One way to decrease stigma may be through the promotion of &amp;quot;TB clubs&amp;quot;, where those infected may share experiences and offer support, or through counseling.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Some studies have shown TB education programs to be effective in decreasing stigma, and may thus be effective in increasing treatment adherence.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Despite this, studies on the relationship between reduced stigma and mortality are lacking {{as of|2010|lc=yes}}, and similar efforts to decrease stigma surrounding AIDS have been minimally effective.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Courtwright 2010&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Some have claimed the stigma to be worse than the disease, and healthcare providers may unintentionally reinforce stigma, as those with TB are often perceived as difficult or otherwise undesirable.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EIU 2014&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A greater understanding of the social and cultural dimensions of tuberculosis may also help with stigma reduction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Mason PH, Roy A, Spillane J, Singh P | title = Social, Historical and Cultural Dimensions of Tuberculosis | journal = Journal of Biosocial Science | volume = 48 | issue = 2 | pages = 206–32 | date = March 2016 | pmid = 25997539 | doi = 10.1017/S0021932015000115 | doi-access = free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{As of|2015}}, tuberculosis appears to be widespread among captive [[elephant]]s in the US. It is believed that the animals originally acquired the disease from humans, a process called [[reverse zoonosis]].

While incarcerated, his health deteriorated and died on 5 July 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early life ===&lt;br /&gt;
Swamy was born on 26 April 1937 in [[Trichy]], [[Tamil Nadu]], India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;scroll01&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=PM |first1=Tony |last2=Martin |first2=Peter |title=Adivasi rights activist Stan Swamy&#039;s life and work demonstrate why the powerful want him silenced |url=https://scroll.in/article/976136/arrested-adivasi-rights-activist-stan-swamys-life-demonstrates-why-the-powerful-want-him-silenced |website=Scroll |access-date=22 October 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wire&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Thekaekara |first1=Mari Marcel |title=The Indomitable Spirit of Father Stan Swamy |url=https://m.thewire.in/article/rights/the-indomitable-spirit-of-father-stan-swamy |website=The Wire |access-date=11 October 2020 |ref=wire}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In the 1970s, he studied theology and received a master&#039;s degree in sociology in the Philippines,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;scroll01&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; where he encountered a series of protests and demonstrations against the administration. During his further studies, he made friends with Brazilian Catholic Archbishop [[Hélder Câmara]], whose work with poor people influenced him.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Activism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Swamy was the director of the Jesuit-run [[Indian Social Institute, Bangalore]], from 1975 to 1986.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Directors, Indian Social Institute |url=https://isibangalore.com/directors |website=Indian Social Institute |access-date=11 October 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He worked among the tribals of central India for over three decades&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.barandbench.com/columns/death-sponsored-by-the-state-how-the-uapa-toys-with-personal-liberty|title=Death sponsored by the State: How the UAPA toys with personal liberty|first=Pragya Barsaiyan,Kumar|last=Kartikeya|website=Bar and Bench - Indian Legal news}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and had questioned the non-implementation of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution, which stipulates setting up of a Tribes Advisory Council with members solely of the [[Adivasi]] community for their protection, well-being and development in the state.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=10 October 2020|title=Explained: Who is Stan Swamy, the latest to be arrested in the Elgar Parishad-Bhima Koregaon case?|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/who-is-stan-swamy-6717126/|access-date=12 October 2020|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a video circulated two days ahead of his arrest, Swamy suggested his arrest was linked to his work, as it involved dissent against government policies. He said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;What is happening to me is not something unique happening to me alone. It is a broader process that is taking place all over the country.  We are all aware how prominent intellectuals, lawyers writers, poets, activists, students, leaders, they are all put into jail because they have expressed their dissent or raised questions about the ruling powers of India.  We are part of the process. In a way I am happy to be part of this process.  I am not a silent spectator, but part of the game, and ready to pay the price whatever be it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;global&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While incarcerated in [[Taloja Central Jail]], in a letter to his Jesuit colleague, Swamy highlighted the plight of the prisoners stating, &amp;quot;Many of such poor undertrials don&#039;t know what charges have been put on them, have not seen their chargesheet and just remain in prison for years without any legal or other assistance.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.jesuit.ie/news/fr-stan-swamy-sj-a-caged-bird-can-still-sing/|title=Fr Stan Swamy SJ – &#039;A caged bird can still sing&#039;|first=Gavin T.|last=Murphy|date=26 January 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He ended the letter saying, &amp;quot;But we will still sing in chorus.

The development of the Standard Model was driven by [[theoretical physics|theoretical]] and [[experimental physics|experimental]] particle physicists alike. The Standard Model is a paradigm of a [[quantum field theory]] for theorists, exhibiting a wide range of phenomena, including [[spontaneous symmetry breaking]], [[anomaly (physics)|anomalies]], and non-perturbative behavior. It is used as a basis for building more exotic models that incorporate [[hypothetical particle]]s, [[extra dimensions]], and elaborate symmetries (such as [[supersymmetry]]) to explain experimental results at variance with the Standard Model, such as the existence of dark matter and neutrino oscillations.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Particle content ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Standard Model includes members of several classes of elementary particles, which in turn can be distinguished by other characteristics, such as [[color charge]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All particles can be summarized as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Elementary particles|SM=yes}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fermions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Standard Model.svg|upright=1.5|right|thumb|The pattern of [[weak isospin]], T&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, [[weak hypercharge]], Y&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;W&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, and [[color charge]] of all known elementary particles, rotated by the [[Weinberg angle|weak mixing angle]] to show electric charge, Q, roughly along the vertical. The neutral [[Higgs field]] (gray square) breaks the [[electroweak symmetry]] and interacts with other particles to give them mass.]]&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Standard Model includes 12 [[elementary particle]]s of [[Spin (physics)|spin]] {{1/2}}, known as [[fermion]]s. According to the [[spin–statistics theorem]], fermions respect the [[Pauli exclusion principle]]. Each fermion has a corresponding [[antiparticle]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fermions are classified according to how they interact (or equivalently, by what [[charge (physics)|charges]] they carry). There are six [[quark]]s ([[up quark|up]], [[down quark|down]], [[charm quark|charm]], [[strange quark|strange]], [[top quark|top]], [[bottom quark|bottom]]), and six [[lepton]]s ([[electron]], [[electron neutrino]], [[muon]], [[muon neutrino]], [[tau (particle)|tau]], [[tau neutrino]]). Each class is divided into pairs of particles that exhibit a similar physical behavior called a [[Generation (particle physics)|generation]] (see the table).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The defining property of quarks is that they carry [[color charge]], and hence interact via the [[strong interaction]]. The phenomenon of [[color confinement]] results in quarks being very strongly bound to one another, forming color-neutral composite particles called [[hadron]]s that contain either a quark and an antiquark ([[meson]]s) or three quarks ([[baryon]]s). The lightest baryons are the [[proton]] and the [[neutron]]. Quarks also carry [[electric charge]] and [[weak isospin]]. Hence they interact with other fermions via [[electromagnetism]] and the [[weak interaction]]. The remaining six fermions do not carry color charge and are called leptons. The three [[neutrino]]s do not carry electric charge either, so their motion is directly influenced only by the [[weak interaction|weak nuclear force]] and gravity, which makes them notoriously difficult to detect. By contrast, by virtue of carrying an electric charge, the electron, muon, and tau all interact electromagnetically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each member of a generation has greater mass than the corresponding particle of any generation before it. The first-generation charged particles do not decay, hence all ordinary ([[baryon]]ic) matter is made of such particles. Specifically, all atoms consist of electrons orbiting around [[atomic nucleus|atomic nuclei]], ultimately constituted of up and down quarks. On the other hand, second- and third-generation charged particles decay with very short half-lives and are observed only in very high-energy environments. Neutrinos of all generations also do not decay, and pervade the universe, but rarely interact with baryonic matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gauge bosons ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Standard Model – All Feynman diagram vertices.svg|upright=1.5|thumb|right|Interactions in the Standard Model. All Feynman diagrams in the model are built from combinations of these vertices. &#039;&#039;q&#039;&#039; is any quark, &#039;&#039;g&#039;&#039; is a gluon, &#039;&#039;X&#039;&#039; is any charged particle, γ is a photon, &#039;&#039;f&#039;&#039; is any fermion, &#039;&#039;m&#039;&#039; is any particle with mass (with the possible exception of the neutrinos), &#039;&#039;m&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;B&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt; is any boson with mass. In diagrams with multiple particle labels separated by / one particle label is chosen. In diagrams with particle labels separated by | the labels must be chosen in the same order. For example, in the four boson electroweak case the valid diagrams are WWWW, WWZZ, WWγγ, WWZγ. &amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;The conjugate of each listed vertex (reversing the direction of arrows) is also allowed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite thesis|type=PhD|last=Lindon|first=Jack|date=2020|title=Particle Collider Probes of Dark Energy, Dark Matter and Generic Beyond Standard Model Signatures in Events With an Energetic Jet and Large Missing Transverse Momentum Using the ATLAS Detector at the LHC|publisher=CERN|url=https://cds.cern.ch/record/2746537/}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Standard Model, [[gauge boson]]s are defined as [[force carrier]]s that mediate the strong, weak, and electromagnetic [[fundamental interaction]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interactions in physics are the ways that particles influence other particles. At a [[Macroscopic scale|macroscopic level]], electromagnetism allows particles to interact with one another via [[electric]] and [[magnetic field|magnetic]] fields, and gravitation allows particles with mass to attract one another in accordance with Einstein&#039;s theory of [[general relativity]]. The Standard Model explains such forces as resulting from matter particles [[Static forces and virtual-particle exchange|exchanging other particles]], generally referred to as &#039;&#039;force mediating particles&#039;&#039;. When a force-mediating particle is exchanged, the effect at a macroscopic level is equivalent to a force influencing both of them, and the particle is therefore said to have &#039;&#039;mediated&#039;&#039; (i.e., been the agent of) that force.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | last1 = Jaeger | first1 = Gregg | year = 2021 | title = Exchange Forces in Particle Physics | journal = Foundations of Physics | volume = 51 | issue =1 | page = 13 |doi=10.1007/s10701-021-00425-0| bibcode = 2021FoPh...51...13J | s2cid = 231811425 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Feynman diagram]] calculations, which are a graphical representation of the [[perturbation theory (quantum mechanics)|perturbation theory]] approximation, invoke &amp;quot;force mediating particles&amp;quot;, and when applied to analyze [[particle accelerator|high-energy scattering experiments]] are in reasonable agreement with the data. However, perturbation theory (and with it the concept of a &amp;quot;force-mediating particle&amp;quot;) fails in other situations. These include low-energy [[quantum chromodynamics]], [[bound state]]s, and [[soliton]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gauge bosons of the Standard Model all have [[Spin (physics)|spin]] (as do matter particles). The value of the spin is 1, making them [[boson]]s. As a result, they do not follow the [[Pauli exclusion principle]] that constrains [[fermion]]s: thus bosons (e.g. photons) do not have a theoretical limit on their [[volume number density|spatial density (number per volume)]]. The types of gauge bosons are described below.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Photon]]s mediate the electromagnetic force between electrically charged particles. The photon is massless and is well-described by the theory of [[quantum electrodynamics]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[W and Z bosons|{{SubatomicParticle|W boson+}}, {{SubatomicParticle|W boson-}}, and {{SubatomicParticle|Z boson}}]] gauge bosons mediate the [[weak interaction]]s between particles of different [[Flavour (particle physics)|flavours]] (all [[quark]]s and leptons). They are massive, with the {{SubatomicParticle|Z boson}} being more massive than the {{SubatomicParticle|W boson+-}}. The weak interactions involving the {{SubatomicParticle|W boson+-}} act only on [[Chirality (physics)|&#039;&#039;left-handed&#039;&#039; particles and &#039;&#039;right-handed&#039;&#039; antiparticles]]. The {{SubatomicParticle|W boson+-}} carries an electric charge of +1 and −1 and couples to the electromagnetic interaction. The electrically neutral {{SubatomicParticle|Z boson}} boson interacts with both left-handed particles and right-handed antiparticles. These three gauge bosons along with the photons are grouped together, as collectively mediating the [[electroweak]] interaction.&lt;br /&gt;
* The eight [[gluon]]s mediate the [[strong interaction]]s between [[color charge]]d particles (the quarks). Gluons are massless. The eightfold multiplicity of gluons is labeled by a combination of color and anticolor charge (e.g. red–antigreen).{{NoteTag|Technically, there are nine such color–anticolor combinations. However, one of these is a color-symmetric combination that can be constructed out of a linear superposition, reducing the count to eight.}} Because gluons have an effective color charge, they can also interact among themselves. Gluons and their interactions are described by the theory of [[quantum chromodynamics]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The interactions between all the particles described by the Standard Model are summarized by the diagrams on the right of this section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Higgs boson ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Higgs boson}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Higgs particle is a massive [[Scalar field theory|scalar]] elementary particle theorized by [[Peter Higgs]] in 1964, when he showed that Goldstone&#039;s 1962 theorem (generic continuous symmetry, which is spontaneously broken) provides a third polarisation of a massive vector field. Hence, Goldstone&#039;s original scalar doublet, the massive spin-zero particle, was [[1964 PRL symmetry breaking papers|proposed as the Higgs boson]], and is a key building block in the Standard Model.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It has no intrinsic [[Spin (physics)|spin]], and for that reason is classified as a [[boson]] (like the gauge bosons, which have [[integer]] spin).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Higgs boson plays a unique role in the Standard Model, by explaining why the other elementary particles, except the [[photon]] and [[gluon]], are massive. In particular, the Higgs boson explains why the photon has no mass, while the [[W and Z bosons]] are very heavy. Elementary-particle masses and the differences between [[electromagnetism]] (mediated by the photon) and the [[weak force]] (mediated by the W and Z bosons) are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter. In [[electroweak interaction|electroweak theory]], the Higgs boson generates the masses of the leptons (electron, muon, and tau) and quarks.  As the Higgs boson is massive, it must interact with itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the Higgs boson is a very massive particle and also decays almost immediately when created, only a very high-energy [[particle accelerator]] can observe and record it. Experiments to confirm and determine the nature of the Higgs boson using the [[Large Hadron Collider]] (LHC) at [[CERN]] began in early 2010 and were performed at [[Fermilab]]&#039;s [[Tevatron]] until its closure in late 2011. Mathematical consistency of the Standard Model requires that any mechanism capable of generating the masses of elementary particles must become visible{{clarify|reason=Isn&#039;t &amp;quot;apparent&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;manifest&amp;quot; needed here instead of &amp;quot;visible&amp;quot;?|date=July 2013}} at energies above {{val|1.4|ul=TeV}};&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On 4 July 2012, two of the experiments at the LHC ([[ATLAS experiment|ATLAS]] and [[Compact Muon Solenoid|CMS]]) both reported independently that they had found a new particle with a mass of about {{val|125|ul=GeV/c2}} (about 133 proton masses, on the order of {{val|10|e=-25|u=kg}}), which is &amp;quot;consistent with the Higgs boson&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Technically, [[quantum field theory]] provides the mathematical framework for the Standard Model, in which a [[Lagrangian (field theory)|Lagrangian]] controls the dynamics and kinematics of the theory. Each kind of particle is described in terms of a dynamical [[field (physics)|field]] that pervades [[space-time]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | author=Gregg Jaeger | year=2021 | title=The Elementary Particles of Quantum Fields | journal=[[Entropy]] | volume=23 | issue=11 | pages=1416 | doi=10.3390/e23111416 | pmid=34828114 | pmc=8623095 | bibcode=2021Entrp..23.1416J | doi-access=free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The construction of the Standard Model proceeds following the modern method of constructing most field theories: by first postulating a set of symmetries of the system, and then by writing down the most general [[renormalization|renormalizable]] Lagrangian from its particle (field) content that observes these symmetries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Global symmetry|global]] [[Poincaré group|Poincaré symmetry]] is postulated for all relativistic quantum field theories. It consists of the familiar [[translational symmetry]], [[rotational symmetry]] and the inertial reference frame invariance central to the theory of [[special relativity]]. The [[Local symmetry|local]] SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) [[gauge symmetry]] is an [[Internal symmetries|internal symmetry]] that essentially defines the Standard Model. Roughly, the three factors of the gauge symmetry give rise to the three fundamental interactions. The fields fall into different [[Representation of a Lie group|representations]] of the various symmetry groups of the Standard Model (see table). Upon writing the most general Lagrangian, one finds that the dynamics depends on 19 parameters, whose numerical values are established by experiment. The parameters are summarized in the table (made visible by clicking &amp;quot;show&amp;quot;) above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Quantum chromodynamics sector ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Quantum chromodynamics}}&lt;br /&gt;
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sector defines the interactions between quarks and gluons, which is a [[Yang–Mills theory|Yang–Mills gauge theory]] with SU(3) symmetry, generated by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^a = \lambda^a/2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since leptons do not interact with gluons, they are not affected by this sector. The Dirac Lagrangian of the quarks coupled to the gluon fields is given by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}_\text{QCD} = \overline{\psi} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} \psi - \frac{1}{4} G^a_{\mu\nu} G^{\mu\nu}_a,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\psi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a three component column vector of [[Dirac Spinor|Dirac Spinors]], each element of which refers to a quark field with a specific [[Color_charge|color charge]] (i.e. red, blue, and green) and summation over [[Flavour (particle physics)|flavor]] (i.e. up, down, strange, etc.) is implied. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gauge covariant derivative of QCD is defined by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{\mu} \equiv \partial_\mu - i g_s\frac{1}{2}\lambda^a G_\mu^a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, where&lt;br /&gt;
* {{mvar|γ{{isup|μ}}}} are the [[Dirac matrices]],&lt;br /&gt;
* {{mvar|G{{su|b=μ|p=a}}}} is the 8-component (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;a = 1, 2, \dots, 8&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) SU(3) gauge field,&lt;br /&gt;
* {{mvar|λ{{su|p=a}}}} are the 3 × 3 [[Gell-Mann matrices]], generators of the SU(3) color group,&lt;br /&gt;
* {{mvar|G{{su|b=μν|p=a}}}} represents the [[gluon field strength tensor]], and&lt;br /&gt;
* {{mvar|g&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;s&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;}} is the strong coupling constant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The QCD Lagrangian is invariant under local SU(3) gauge transformations; i.e., transformations of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\psi \rightarrow \psi&#039; = U\psi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;U = e^{-i g_s\lambda^a \phi^{a(x)}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;3\times 3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; unitary matrix with determinant 1, making it a member of the group SU(3), and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\phi^{a(x)}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an arbitrary function of spacetime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Electroweak sector ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Electroweak interaction}}&lt;br /&gt;
The electroweak sector is a [[Yang–Mills theory|Yang–Mills gauge theory]] with the symmetry group U(1) × SU(2)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}_\text{EW} = \overline{Q}_{Lj} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} Q_{Lj} + \overline{u}_{Rj} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} u_{Rj} + \overline{d}_{Rj} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} d_{Rj} + \overline{\ell}_{Lj} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} \ell_{Lj} + \overline{e}_{Rj} i\gamma^\mu D_{\mu} e_{Rj} - \tfrac{1}{4} W_a^{\mu\nu} W_{\mu\nu}^a - \tfrac{1}{4} B^{\mu\nu} B_{\mu\nu}, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where the subscript &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;j&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; sums over the three generations of fermions; &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Q_L, u_R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;d_R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are the left-handed doublet, right-handed singlet up type, and right handed singlet down type quark fields; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ell_L&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e_R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are the left-handed doublet and right-handed singlet lepton fields. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The electroweak [[gauge covariant derivative]] is defined as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_\mu \equiv \partial_\mu - ig&#039; \tfrac12 Y_\text{W} B_\mu - ig \tfrac{1}{2} \vec\tau_\text{L} \vec W_\mu&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, where &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Notice that the addition of fermion mass terms into the electroweak Lagrangian is forbidden, since terms of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\overline\psi\psi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; do not respect U(1) × SU(2)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;L&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; gauge invariance. Neither is it possible to add explicit mass terms for the U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. The Higgs mechanism is responsible for the generation of the gauge boson masses, and the fermion masses result from Yukawa-type interactions with the Higgs field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Higgs sector ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Higgs mechanism}}&lt;br /&gt;
In the Standard Model, the [[Higgs field]] is an &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;SU(2)_L&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; doublet of complex [[Scalar (physics)|scalar]] fields with four degrees of freedom:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
\varphi = \begin{pmatrix} \varphi^+ \\ \varphi^0 \end{pmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} \varphi_1 + i\varphi_2 \\ \varphi_3 + i\varphi_4 \end{pmatrix},&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where the superscripts + and 0 indicate the electric charge &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Q&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the components. The weak hypercharge &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Y_W&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of both components is 1. Before symmetry breaking, the Higgs Lagrangian is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt; \mathcal{L}_\text{H} = \frac{1}{2} \left(D_{\mu}\varphi\right)^{\dagger} \left(D^{\mu}\varphi \right) - V(\varphi),&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;D_{\mu}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the electroweak gauge covariant derivative defined above and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V(\varphi)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the potential of the Higgs field. The square of the covariant derivative leads to three and four point interactions between the Electroweak gauge fields &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W^{a}_{\mu}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;B_{\mu}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and the scalar field &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The scalar potential is given by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt; V(\varphi) = -\mu^2\varphi^{\dagger}\varphi + \lambda \left( \varphi^{\dagger}\varphi \right)^2, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mu^2&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, so that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; acquires a non-zero [[Vacuum expectation value]], which generates masses for the Electroweak gauge fields (the Higgs&#039; Mechanism), and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, so that the potential is bounded from below. The quartic term describes self-interactions of the scalar field &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The minimum of the potential is degenerate with an infinite number of equivalent [[ground state]] solutions, which occurs when &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi^{\dagger}\varphi = \tfrac{\mu^2}{2\lambda}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. It is possible to perform a [[Unitary gauge|gauge transformation]] on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; such that the ground state is transformed to a basis where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi_1 = \varphi_2 = \varphi_4 = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi_3 = \tfrac{\mu}{\sqrt{\lambda}} \equiv v &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This breaks the symmetry of the ground state. The expectation value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; now becomes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt; \langle \varphi \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ v \end{pmatrix},&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; has units of mass and sets the scale of electroweak physics. This is the only dimensional parameter of the Standard Model and has a measured value of ~{{val|246|u=GeV/c2}}. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After symmetry breaking, the masses of the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are given by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_W=\frac{1}{2}gv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m_Z=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{g^2+g&#039;^2}v&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, which can be viewed as predictions of the theory. The photon remains massless. The mass of the [[Higgs Boson]] is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_H=\sqrt{2\mu^2}=\sqrt{2\lambda}v&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mu&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are free parameters, the Higgs&#039; mass could not be predicted beforehand and had to be determined experimentally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Yukawa sector ====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Yukawa interaction]] terms are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math display=&amp;quot;block&amp;quot;&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}_\text{Yukawa} = (Y_u)_{mn}(\bar{Q}_L)_m \tilde{\varphi}(u_R)_n + (Y_d)_{mn}(\bar{Q}_L)_m \varphi(d_R)_n + (Y_e)_{mn}(\bar{\ell}_L)_m {\varphi}(e_R)_n + \mathrm{h.c.} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Y_u&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Y_d&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Y_e&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are {{math|3 × 3}} matrices of Yukawa couplings, with the {{mvar|mn}} term giving the coupling of the generations {{mvar|m}} and {{mvar|n}}, and h.c. means Hermitian conjugate of preceding terms. The fields &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;Q_L&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ell_L&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are left-handed quark and lepton doublets. Likewise, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;u_R, d_R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e_R&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are right-handed up-type quark, down-type quark, and lepton singlets. Finally &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\varphi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the Higgs doublet and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tilde{\varphi} = i\tau_2\varphi^{*}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is its charge conjugate state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Yukawa terms are invariant under the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; gauge symmetry of the Standard Model&lt;br /&gt;
and generate masses for all fermions after spontaneous symmetry breaking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fundamental interactions ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Fundamental interaction}}&lt;br /&gt;
The Standard Model describes three of the four fundamental interactions in nature; only gravity remains unexplained. In the Standard Model, such an interaction is described as an exchange of [[boson]]s between the objects affected, such as a [[photon]] for the electromagnetic force and a [[gluon]] for the strong interaction. Those particles are called [[force carrier]]s or messenger [[particles]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://home.cern/science/physics/standard-model|title=The Standard Model|website=CERN}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gravity ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Quantum gravity|Gravity}}&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being perhaps the most familiar fundamental interaction, gravity is not described by the Standard Model, due to contradictions that arise when combining general relativity, the modern theory of gravity, and quantum mechanics. However, gravity is so weak at microscopic scales, that it is essentially unmeasurable. The graviton is postulated as the mediating particle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Electromagnetism ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Electromagnetism|Quantum electrodynamics}}&lt;br /&gt;
Electromagnetism is the only long-range force in the Standard Model. It is mediated by photons and couples to electric charge. Electromagnetism is responsible for a wide range of phenomena including [[Electron shell|atomic electron shell structure]], [[chemical bonds]], [[electric circuit]]s and [[electronics]]. Electromagnetic interactions in the Standard Model are described by quantum electrodynamics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weak nuclear force ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Weak interaction|Electroweak interaction}}&lt;br /&gt;
The weak interaction is responsible for various forms of [[particle decay]], such as [[beta decay]]. It is weak and short-range, due to the fact that the weak mediating particles, W and Z bosons, have mass. W bosons have electric charge and mediate interactions that change the particle type (referred to as flavour) and charge. Interactions mediated by W bosons are [[charged current interaction]]s. Z bosons are neutral and mediate neutral current interactions, which do not change particle flavour. Thus Z bosons are similar to the photon, aside from them being massive and interacting with the neutrino. The weak interaction is also the only interaction to violate [[Parity violation|parity]] and [[CP violation|CP]]. Parity violation is maximal for charged current interactions, since the W boson interacts exclusively with left-handed fermions and right-handed antifermions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Standard Model, the weak force is understood in terms of the electroweak theory, which states that the weak and electromagnetic interactions become united into a single &#039;&#039;electroweak&#039;&#039; interaction at high energies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Strong nuclear force ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Strong interaction|Nuclear force|Quantum chromodynamics}}&lt;br /&gt;
The strong nuclear force is responsible for hadronic and [[Nuclear binding energy|nuclear binding]]. It is mediated by gluons, which couple to color charge. Since gluons themselves have color charge, the strong force exhibits [[Color confinement|confinement]] and [[asymptotic freedom]]. Confinement means that only color-neutral particles can exist in isolation, therefore quarks can only exist in hadrons and never in isolation, at low energies. Asymptotic freedom means that the strong force becomes weaker, as the energy scale increases. The strong force overpowers the [[electrostatic]] repulsion of protons and quarks in nuclei and hadrons respectively, at their respective scales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While quarks are bound in hadrons by the fundamental strong interaction, which is mediated by gluons, nucleons are bound by an emergent phenomenon termed the &#039;&#039;residual strong force&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[nuclear force]]&#039;&#039;. This interaction is mediated by mesons, such as the [[pion]]. The color charges inside the nucleon cancel out, meaning most of the gluon and quark fields cancel out outside of the nucleon. However, some residue is &amp;quot;leaked&amp;quot;, which appears as the exchange of virtual mesons, that causes the attractive force between nucleons. The (fundamental) strong interaction is described by quantum chromodynamics, which is a component of the Standard Model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tests and predictions ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Standard Model predicted the existence of the [[W and Z bosons]], [[gluon]], [[top quark]] and [[charm quark]], and predicted many of their properties before these particles were observed. The predictions were experimentally confirmed with good precision.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{cite journal |last1=Woithe |first1=Julia |last2=Wiener |first2=Gerfried |last3=Van der Veken |first3=Frederik |title=Let&#039;s have a coffee with the Standard Model of particle physics! |journal=Phys.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Standard Model also predicted the existence of the [[Higgs boson]], which was found in 2012 at the [[Large Hadron Collider]], the final fundamental particle predicted by the Standard Model to be experimentally confirmed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{cite arXiv|eprint=1407.2122|last1=Altarelli|first1=Guido|title=The Higgs and the Excessive Success of the Standard Model|class=hep-ph|year=2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Challenges ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Physics beyond the Standard Model}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{unsolved|physics|&lt;br /&gt;
* What gives rise to the Standard Model of particle physics?&lt;br /&gt;
* Why do particle masses and [[coupling constant]]s have the values that we measure?&lt;br /&gt;
* Why are there three [[Generation (particle physics)|generations]] of particles?&lt;br /&gt;
* Why is there more matter than [[antimatter]] in the universe?&lt;br /&gt;
* Where does [[dark matter]] fit into the model? Does it even consist of one or more new particles?&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Self-consistency of the Standard Model (currently formulated as a non-[[abelian group|abelian]] gauge theory quantized through path-integrals) has not been mathematically proven.  While regularized versions useful for approximate computations (for example [[lattice gauge theory]]) exist, it is not known whether they converge (in the sense of S-matrix elements) in the limit that the regulator is removed.  A key question related to the consistency is the [[Yang–Mills existence and mass gap]] problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experiments indicate that [[neutrinos]] have [[mass]], which the classic Standard Model did not allow.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To accommodate this finding, the classic Standard Model can be modified to include neutrino mass, although it is not obvious exactly how this should be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one insists on using only Standard Model particles, this can be achieved by adding a non-renormalizable interaction of leptons with the Higgs boson.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Theoretical and experimental research has attempted to extend the Standard Model into a [[unified field theory]] or a [[theory of everything]], a complete theory explaining all physical phenomena including constants. Inadequacies of the Standard Model that motivate such research include:&lt;br /&gt;
* The model does not explain [[gravitation]], although physical confirmation of a theoretical particle known as a [[graviton]] would account for it to a degree. Though it addresses strong and electroweak interactions, the Standard Model does not consistently explain the canonical theory of gravitation, [[general relativity]], in terms of [[quantum field theory]]. The reason for this is, among other things, that quantum field theories of gravity generally break down before reaching the [[Planck scale]]. As a consequence, we have no reliable theory for the very early universe.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some physicists consider it to be &#039;&#039;ad hoc&#039;&#039; and inelegant, requiring 19 numerical constants whose values are unrelated and arbitrary.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BlumhoferHutter1997&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is believed that explaining neutrino mass will require an additional 7 or 8 constants, which are also arbitrary parameters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The Higgs mechanism gives rise to the [[hierarchy problem]] if some new physics (coupled to the Higgs) is present at high energy scales. In these cases, in order for the weak scale to be much smaller than the [[Planck scale]], severe fine tuning of the parameters is required; there are, however, other scenarios that include [[Asymptotic safety in quantum gravity|quantum gravity]] in which such fine tuning can be avoided.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The model is inconsistent with the emerging [[Lambda-CDM model]] of cosmology. Contentions include the absence of an explanation in the Standard Model of particle physics for the observed amount of [[cold dark matter]] (CDM) and its contributions to [[dark energy]], which are many orders of magnitude too large. It is also difficult to accommodate the observed predominance of matter over antimatter ([[matter]]/[[antimatter]] [[Baryon asymmetry|asymmetry]]). The [[isotropic|isotropy]] and [[Homogeneity (physics)|homogeneity]] of the visible universe over large distances seems to require a mechanism like cosmic [[Inflation (cosmology)|inflation]], which would also constitute an extension of the Standard Model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, no proposed [[theory of everything]] has been widely accepted or verified.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Economic sector not under state control}}{{Economic sectors}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;private sector&#039;&#039;&#039; is the part of the [[economy]], sometimes referred to as the &#039;&#039;&#039;citizen sector&#039;&#039;&#039;, which is owned by private groups, usually as a means of establishment for [[profit (economics)|profit]] or [[Non Profit|non profit]], rather than being owned by the [[government]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Employment==&lt;br /&gt;
The private sector employs most of the workforce in some countries. In private sector, activities are guided by the motive to earn money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 2013 study by the [[International Finance Corporation]] (part of the [[World Bank Group]]) identified that 90 percent of jobs in developing countries are in the private sector.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/16979|title=IFC Jobs Study : Assessing Private Sector Contributions to Job Creation and Poverty Reduction|date=January 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Diversification==&lt;br /&gt;
In free enterprise countries, such as the [[United States]], the private sector is wider, and the state places fewer constraints on firms. In countries with more government authority, such as [[China]], the public sector makes up most of the economy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/private-sector |title=What is private sector? - Definition from WhatIs.com |last=Rouse |first=Margaret |date=August 2013 |website=[[Tech Target]] |access-date=July 16, 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Regulation ==&lt;br /&gt;
States legally regulate the private sector. [[Business]]es operating within a country must comply with the laws in that country. In some cases, usually involving [[multinational corporation]]s that can pick and choose their suppliers and locations based on their perception of the regulatory environment, local state regulations have resulted in uneven practices within one company. For example, workers in one country may benefit from strong [[labour unions]], while workers in another country have very weak laws supporting labour unions, even though they work for the same employer. In some cases, industries and individual businesses choose to self-regulate by applying higher standards for dealing with their workers, customers, or the environment than the minimum that is legally required of them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There can be negative effects from the private sector. In the early 1980s, the Corrections Corporation of America pioneered the idea of running [[prison]]s for a profit. Today, corporate-run prisons hold eight percent of America&#039;s inmates. Since it is from the private sector, their main priority is not rehabilitation, but profit. This has resulted in many human rights violations across the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Bauer, Shane. &amp;quot;Private prisons are shrouded in secrecy. I took a job as a guard to get inside-then things got crazy.&amp;quot;Mother Jones. N.p., 06 June 2017. Web. 10 June 2017.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Literature}}&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;poet&#039;&#039;&#039; is a person who studies and creates [[poetry]]. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator ([[thought|thinker]], [[songwriter]], [[writer]], or [[author]]) who creates (composes) poems ([[oral tradition|oral]] or [[literature|written]]), or they may also [[performance|perform]] their art to an [[audience]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or [[metaphor]]ically. Poets have existed since [[prehistory]], in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Orban&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Orban |first=Clara Elizabeth |title=The Culture of Fragments: Word and Images in Futurism and Surrealism |publisher=Rodopi |year=1997 |page=3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KbCVyt6MWg0C |isbn=90-420-0111-9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Throughout each [[civilization]] and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the [[literature]] that (since the advent of [[writing]] systems) they have produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{hatnote|This is about the history of the poet profession. For a history of poetry, see [[History of poetry]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Ancient Rome]], professional poets were generally sponsored by [[patronage|patrons]], wealthy supporters including nobility and military officials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Barbara K. Gold (2014), &#039;&#039;Literary and Artistic Patronage in Ancient Rome&amp;quot;, [[University of Texas Press]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For instance, [[Gaius Cilnius Maecenas]], friend to [[Caesar Augustus]], was an important patron for the Augustan poets, including both [[Horace]] and [[Virgil]]. While [[Ovid]], a well established poet, was banished from Rome by the first [[Augustus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poets held an important position in pre-Islamic Arabic society with the poet or &#039;&#039;[[sha&#039;ir]]&#039;&#039; filling the role of historian, [[Fortune-telling|soothsayer]] and propagandist. Words in praise of the tribe (&#039;&#039;qit&#039;ah&#039;&#039;) and lampoons denigrating other tribes (&#039;&#039;hija&#039;&#039;&#039;) seem to have been some of the most popular forms of early poetry. The &#039;&#039;sha&#039;ir&#039;&#039; represented an individual tribe&#039;s prestige and importance in the [[Arabian peninsula]], and mock battles in poetry or &#039;&#039;[[zajal]]&#039;&#039; would stand in lieu of real wars. &#039;Ukaz, a market town not far from [[Mecca]], would play host to a regular poetry festival where the craft of the &#039;&#039;sha&#039;irs&#039;&#039; would be exhibited.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[High Middle Ages]], [[troubadors]] were an important class of poets and came from a variety of backgrounds. They lived and travelled in many different places and were looked upon as actors or musicians as much as poets. They were often under patronage, but many travelled extensively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Renaissance]] period saw a continuation of patronage of poets by royalty. Many poets, however, had other sources of income, including &lt;br /&gt;
Italians like [[Dante Aligheri]], [[Giovanni Boccaccio]] and [[Petrarch]]&#039;s works in a pharmacist&#039;s guild and [[William Shakespeare]]&#039;s work in the theater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Romantic period]] and onwards, many poets were independent writers who made their living through their work, often supplemented by income from other occupations or from family.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Peter T. Murphy (2005), &amp;quot;Poetry as an Occupation and an Art in Britain&amp;quot;, [[Cambridge University Press]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This included poets such as [[William Wordsworth]] and [[Robert Burns]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poets such as [[Virgil]] in the [[Aeneid]] and [[John Milton]] in [[Paradise Lost]] invoked the aid of a [[Muse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education==&lt;br /&gt;
Poets of earlier times were often well read and highly educated people while others were to a large extent self-educated. A few poets such as [[John Gower]] and [[John Milton]] were able to write poetry in more than one language. Some Portuguese poets, as [[Francisco de Sá de Miranda]], wrote not only in Portuguese but also in Spanish.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Francisco-de-Sa-de-Miranda|title=Francisco de Sá de Miranda &amp;amp;#124; Portuguese author &amp;amp;#124; Britannica|website=www.britannica.com|accessdate=24 December 2021|archive-date=6 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180906200741/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Francisco-de-Sa-de-Miranda|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Jan Kochanowski]] wrote in Polish and in Latin,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08685b.htm|title=CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jan Kochanowski|website=www.newadvent.org|accessdate=24 December 2021|archive-date=24 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211224174021/https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08685b.htm|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[France Prešeren]] and [[Karel Hynek Mácha]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.private-prague-guide.com/article/karel-hynek-macha-a-leading-poet-of-czech-romanticism/|title=Karel Hynek Mácha: A leading poet of Czech Romanticism – Prague Blog|accessdate=24 December 2021|archive-date=23 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123051200/https://www.private-prague-guide.com/article/karel-hynek-macha-a-leading-poet-of-czech-romanticism/|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; wrote some poems in German, although they were poets of Slovenian and Czech respectively. [[Adam Mickiewicz]], the greatest poet of Polish language, wrote a Latin ode for emperor [[Napoleon III]]. Another example is [[Jerzy Pietrkiewicz]], a Polish poet. When he moved to Great Britain, he ceased to write poetry in Polish, but started writing novel in English.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/jerzy-peterkiewicz-polish-poet-turned-english-novelist-774317.html|title=Jerzy Peterkiewicz: Polish poet turned English novelist|date=26 January 2008|website=The Independent|accessdate=24 December 2021|archive-date=12 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181112110030/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/jerzy-peterkiewicz-polish-poet-turned-english-novelist-774317.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also translated poetry from English and into English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many universities offer degrees in creative writing though these only came into existence in the 20th century. While these courses are not necessary for a career as a poet, they can be helpful as training, and for giving the student several years of time focused on their writing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Nikki Moustaki (2001), &#039;&#039;The Complete Idiot&#039;s Guide to Writing Poetry&#039;&#039;, Penguin.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Poets of sacred verse==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Lyricist}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lyricist|Lyrical poets]] who write sacred poetry (&amp;quot;[[hymnographer|hymnographers]]&amp;quot;) differ from the usual image of poets in a number of ways. A hymnographer such as [[Isaac Watts]] who wrote 700 poems in his lifetime, may have their lyrics sung by millions of people every Sunday morning, but are not always included in [[List of poetry anthologies|anthologies of poetry]]. Because hymns are perceived of as &amp;quot;[[worship]]&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;poetry&amp;quot;, the term &amp;quot;artistic kenosis&amp;quot; is sometimes used to describe the hymnographer&#039;s success in &amp;quot;emptying out&amp;quot; the instinct to succeed as a poet. A singer in the pew might have several of Watts&#039;s stanzas memorized, without ever knowing his name or thinking of him as a poet.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Standard model of particle physics}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Particle physics&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;high energy physics&#039;&#039;&#039; is the study of [[Elementary particle|fundamental particles]] and [[fundamental interaction|forces]] that constitute [[matter]] and [[radiation]]. The fundamental particles in the [[universe]] are classified in the [[Standard Model]] as [[fermion]]s (matter particles) and [[boson]]s (force-carrying particles). There are three [[Generation (particle physics)|generations]] of fermions,  although ordinary matter is made only from the first fermion generation. The first generation consists of [[Up quark|up]] and [[down quark]]s which form  [[proton]]s and [[neutron]]s,  and [[electron]]s and [[electron neutrino]]s. The three fundamental interactions known to be mediated by bosons are [[electromagnetism]], the [[weak interaction]], and the [[strong interaction]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quarks cannot exist on their own but form [[hadron]]s.  Hadrons that contain an odd number of quarks are called [[baryon]]s and those that contain an even number are called [[meson]]s. Two baryons, the [[proton]] and the [[neutron]], make up most of the mass of ordinary matter. Mesons are unstable and the longest-lived last for only a few hundredths of a [[microsecond]]. They occur after collisions between particles made of quarks, such as fast-moving protons and neutrons in [[cosmic ray]]s. Mesons are also produced in [[cyclotron]]s or other [[particle accelerator]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Particles have corresponding  [[antiparticle]]s with the same [[mass]] but with opposite [[electric charge]]s. For example, the antiparticle of the [[electron]] is the [[positron]]. The electron has a negative electric charge, the positron has a positive charge. These antiparticles can theoretically form a corresponding form of matter called [[antimatter]]. Some particles, such as the [[photon]], are their own antiparticle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These [[elementary particle]]s are excitations of the [[Field (physics)#Quantum fields|quantum fields]] that also govern their interactions. The dominant theory explaining these fundamental particles and fields, along with their dynamics, is called the [[Standard Model]]. The [[Quantum gravity|reconciliation of gravity]] to the current particle physics theory is not solved; many theories have addressed this problem, such as [[loop quantum gravity]], [[string theory]] and [[Supersymmetry|supersymmetry theory]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Practical particle physics is the study of these particles in [[Radioactive decay|radioactive]] processes and in particle accelerators such as the [[Large Hadron Collider]]. Theoretical particle physics is the study of these particles in the context of [[cosmology]] and [[quantum mechanics|quantum theory]]. The two are closely interrelated: the [[Higgs boson]] was postulated by theoretical particle physicists and its presence confirmed by practical experiments.&lt;br /&gt;

The early 20th century explorations of [[nuclear physics]] and [[quantum physics]] led to proofs of [[nuclear fission]] in 1939 by [[Lise Meitner]] (based on experiments by [[Otto Hahn]]), and [[nuclear fusion]] by [[Hans Bethe]] in that same year; both discoveries also led to the development of [[nuclear weapon]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a bewildering variety of particles were found in collisions of particles from beams of increasingly high energy.

&lt;br /&gt;
The current state of the classification of all elementary particles is explained by the [[Standard Model]], which gained widespread acceptance in the mid-1970s after [[experimental confirmation]] of the existence of [[quark]]s. It describes the [[strong interaction|strong]], [[weak interaction|weak]], and [[electromagnetism|electromagnetic]] [[fundamental interaction]]s, using mediating [[gauge boson]]s. The species of gauge bosons are eight [[gluon]]s, [[W and Z bosons|{{SubatomicParticle|W boson-}}, {{SubatomicParticle|W boson+}} and {{SubatomicParticle|Z boson}} bosons]], and the [[photon]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Baker p 120&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Baker |first=Joanne |title=50 quantum physics ideas you really need to know |date=2013 |isbn=978-1-78087-911-6 |publication-place=London |pages=120–123 |oclc=857653602}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Standard Model also contains 24 [[fundamental particle|fundamental]] [[fermion]]s (12 particles and their associated anti-particles), which are the constituents of all [[matter]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pdg&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last=Nakamura |first=K |date=1 July 2010 |title=Review of Particle Physics |journal=Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics |volume=37 |issue=7A |pages=1–708 |bibcode=2010JPhG...37g5021N |doi=10.1088/0954-3899/37/7A/075021 |pmid=10020536 |doi-access=free}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Finally, the Standard Model also predicted the existence of a type of [[boson]] known as the [[Higgs boson]].

Modern particle physics research is focused on [[subatomic particle]]s, including atomic constituents, such as [[electron]]s, [[proton]]s, and [[neutron]]s (protons and neutrons are composite particles called [[baryon]]s, made of [[quark]]s), that are produced by [[Radioactive decay|radioactive]] and [[scattering]] processes; such particles are [[photon]]s, [[neutrino]]s, and [[muon]]s, as well as a wide range of [[exotic particle]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Terranova |first1=Francesco |title=A Modern Primer in Particle and Nuclear Physics. |date=2021 |publisher=Oxford Univ.

&lt;br /&gt;
Dynamics of particles are also governed by [[quantum mechanics]]; they exhibit [[wave–particle duality]], displaying particle-like behaviour under certain experimental conditions and [[wave]]-like behaviour in others. In more technical terms, they are described by [[quantum state]] vectors in a [[Hilbert space]], which is also treated in [[quantum field theory]]. Following the convention of particle physicists, the term &#039;&#039;[[elementary particle]]s&#039;&#039; is applied to those particles that are, according to current understanding, presumed to be indivisible and not composed of other particles.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;braibant&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Theory==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quantum field theory|cTopic=Standard model}}&lt;br /&gt;
Theoretical particle physics attempts to develop the models, theoretical framework, and mathematical tools to understand current experiments and make predictions for future experiments (see also [[theoretical physics]]). There are several major interrelated efforts being made in theoretical particle physics today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One important branch attempts to better understand the [[Standard Model]] and its tests. Theorists make quantitative predictions of observables at [[collider]] and [[Astroparticle physics|astronomical]] experiments, which along with experimental measurements is used to extract the parameters of the Standard Model with less uncertainty. This work probes the limits of the Standard Model and therefore expands scientific understanding of nature&#039;s building blocks. Those efforts are made challenging by the difficulty of calculating high precision quantities in [[quantum chromodynamics]]. Some theorists working in this area use the tools of perturbative [[quantum field theory]] and [[effective field theory]], referring to themselves as [[Particle physics phenomenology|phenomenologists]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}} Others make use of [[lattice field theory]] and call themselves &#039;&#039;lattice theorists&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another major effort is in model building where model builders develop ideas for what physics may lie [[beyond the Standard Model]] (at higher energies or smaller distances). This work is often motivated by the [[hierarchy problem]] and is constrained by existing experimental data.{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}} It may involve work on [[supersymmetry]], alternatives to the [[Higgs mechanism]], extra spatial dimensions (such as the [[Randall–Sundrum model]]s), [[Preon]] theory, combinations of these, or other ideas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A third major effort in theoretical particle physics is [[string theory]]. &#039;&#039;String theorists&#039;&#039; attempt to construct a unified description of [[quantum mechanics]] and [[general relativity]] by building a theory based on small strings, and [[brane]]s rather than particles. If the theory is successful, it may be considered a &amp;quot;[[Theory of Everything]]&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;TOE&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Wolchover |first=Natalie |date=2017-12-22 |title=The Best Explanation for Everything in the Universe |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/12/string-theory-everything/548774/ |access-date=2022-03-11 |website=The Atlantic |language=en |archive-date=15 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115210213/https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/12/string-theory-everything/548774/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are also other areas of work in theoretical particle physics ranging from [[Particle physics in cosmology|particle cosmology]] to [[loop quantum gravity]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Practical applications==&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, all physics (and practical applications developed therefrom) can be derived from the study of fundamental particles. In practice, even if &amp;quot;particle physics&amp;quot; is taken to mean only &amp;quot;high-energy atom smashers&amp;quot;, many technologies have been developed during these pioneering investigations that later find wide uses in society. Particle accelerators are used to produce [[Isotopes in medicine|medical isotopes]] for research and treatment (for example, isotopes used in [[PET imaging]]), or used directly in [[external beam radiotherapy]]. The development of [[superconductor]]s has been pushed forward by their use in particle physics. The [[World Wide Web]] and [[touchscreen]] technology were initially developed at [[CERN]]. Additional applications are found in medicine, national security, industry, computing, science, and workforce development, illustrating a long and growing list of beneficial practical applications with contributions from particle physics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.fnal.gov/pub/science/benefits/ |title=Fermilab &amp;amp;#124; Science at Fermilab &amp;amp;#124; Benefits to Society |publisher=Fnal.gov |access-date=23 June 2012 |archive-date=9 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609161544/http://www.fnal.gov/pub/science/benefits/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Future==&lt;br /&gt;
The primary goal, which is pursued in several distinct ways, is to find and understand what physics may lie [[beyond the standard model]]. There are several powerful experimental reasons to expect new physics, including [[dark matter]] and [[neutrino mass]]. There are also theoretical hints that this new physics should be found at accessible energy scales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the effort to find beyond Standard Model physics has been focused on new collider experiments.   As of March, 2023,   no beyond-Standard-Model signatures are observed at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] (LHC).   This implies that new physics signals must be too rare or else manifest at too high energy to be observed at LHC.    To address rare signals, one builds a very high rate source with low backgrounds.    This is the concept behind the multiple [[Higgs factory]] proposals.   These consist of lepton-lepton (either electron-positron or muon-antimuon) colliders with center of mass energy chosen to produce Higgs particles.  Because the leptons annihilate, the events in the detector have few extraneous particles, unlike hadron colliders.   This allows for accurate event reconstruction.  New physics is probed by high precision reconstruction of the large sample of Higgs bosons.   Alternatively, to reach higher energies, it is necessary to construct a collider even larger than the LHC.   The [[Future Circular Collider]] proposed for CERN is an example of a 100 TeV center of mass proton collider proposal, representing an order of magnitude increase over the LHC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are important non-collider experiments that attempt to find and understand [[physics beyond the Standard Model]]. One is the determination of the [[neutrino]] masses, since these masses may arise from neutrinos mixing with very heavy particles. Another is [[physical cosmology|cosmological]] observations that provide constraints on the dark matter, although it may be impossible to determine the exact nature of the dark matter without the colliders. Finally, lower bounds on the very long [[proton decay|lifetime of the proton]] put constraints on [[Grand Unified Theory|Grand Unified Theories]] at energy scales much higher than collider experiments will be able to probe any time soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2023, the [[Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel]] (P5) began a new decadal study on the future of particle physics in the US that will update the 2014 P5 study that recommended the [[Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment]], among other experiments.&lt;br /&gt;

Traditionally an &#039;&#039;&#039;oath&#039;&#039;&#039; (from [[Old English|Anglo-Saxon]] &#039;&#039;{{lang|ang|[[:wikt:að|āð]]}}&#039;&#039;, also called &#039;&#039;&#039;plight&#039;&#039;&#039;) is either a [[utterance|statement]] of [[fact]] or a [[promise]] taken by a [[Sacred|sacrality]] as a sign of verity. A common legal substitute for those who conscientiously object to making sacred oaths is to give an [[Affirmation (law)|affirmation]] instead. Nowadays, even when there is no notion of sanctity involved, certain promises said out loud in ceremonial or juridical purpose are referred to as oaths. &amp;quot;To [[:wikt:swear|swear]]&amp;quot; is a [[verb]] used to describe the taking of an oath, to making a solemn [[vow]].&lt;br /&gt;

The word come from [[Old English|Anglo-Saxon]] &#039;&#039;{{lang|ang|[[:wikt:að|āð]]}}&#039;&#039; judicial swearing, solemn appeal to deity in witness of truth or a promise,&amp;quot; from Proto-Germanic &#039;&#039;[[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/aiþaz|*aiþaz]]&#039;&#039; (source also of Old Norse eiðr, Swedish ed, Old Saxon, Old Frisian eth, Middle Dutch eet, Dutch eed, German Eid, Gothic aiþs &amp;quot;oath&amp;quot;), from PIE *oi-to- &amp;quot;an oath&amp;quot; (source also of Old Irish oeth &amp;quot;oath&amp;quot;). Common to Celtic and Germanic, possibly a loan-word from one to the other, but the history is obscure and it may ultimately be non-Indo-European, in reference to careless invocations of divinity, from the late 12th century.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url= https://www.etymonline.com/word/oath#etymonline_v_2402|title=oath (n.) |date=17 March 2019|website= Etym. online}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Oaths usually have referred to a [[deity]] significant in the cultural sphere in question. The reciter&#039;s personal views upon the divinity of the aspects considered sacred in a predictated text of an oath may or may not be taken in to account. There might not be alternative personal proclamations with no mention of the sacred [[dogma]] in question, such as affirmations, to be made. This might mean an [[impasse]] to those with unwillingness to edify the dogma they see as untrue and those who decline to refer to sacred matters on the subject at hand.{{Citation needed |date=June 2019}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The essence of a divine oath is an invocation of divine agency to be a guarantor of the oath taker&#039;s own honesty and integrity in the matter under question. By implication, this invokes divine displeasure if the oath taker fails in his or her sworn duties. It therefore implies greater care than usual in the act of the performance of one&#039;s duty, such as in testimony to the facts of the matter in a court of law.{{Citation needed |date=June 2019}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A person taking an oath indicates this in a number of ways. The most usual is the explicit &amp;quot;I swear&amp;quot;, but any statement or promise that includes &amp;quot;with * as my witness&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;so help me *&amp;quot;, with &#039;*&#039; being something or someone the oath-taker holds sacred, is an oath. Many people take an oath by holding in their hand or placing over their head a book of [[scripture]] or a sacred object, thus indicating the sacred witness through their action: such an oath is called &#039;&#039;corporal&#039;&#039;. However, the chief purpose of such an act is for ceremony or solemnity, and the act does not of itself make an oath.{{Citation needed|date= March 2007}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Making vows and taking oaths became a symbolic concept in law practice that developed over time in different cultures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jewish tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
The concept of oaths is deeply rooted within [[Judaism]]. It is found in [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] 8:21, when God swears that he will &amp;quot;never again curse the ground because of man and never again smite every living thing&amp;quot;. This repetition of the term &#039;&#039;never again&#039;&#039; is explained by [[Rashi]], the pre-eminent biblical commentator, as serving as an oath, citing the [[Talmud]] Shavous 36a for this ruling.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Metsudah Chumash and Rashi, KTAV Publishing House, 1991. page 88&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first personage in the biblical tradition to take an oath is held to be [[Eliezer]], the chief servant of [[Abraham]], when the latter requested of the former that he not take a wife for his son [[Isaac]] from the daughters of Canaan, but rather from among Abraham&#039;s own family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The foundational text for oath making is in [[Book of Numbers|Numbers]] 30:2: &amp;quot;When a man voweth a vow unto the Lord, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.&amp;quot; According to the Rabbis, a [[neder]] (usually translated as &amp;quot;vow&amp;quot;) refers to the object, a &#039;&#039;shâmar&#039;&#039; (usually translated as &amp;quot;oath&amp;quot;) to the person. The passage distinguishes between a &#039;&#039;neder&#039;&#039; and a &#039;&#039;shvua&#039;&#039;, an important distinction between the two in [[Halakha]]: a &#039;&#039;neder&#039;&#039; changes the status of some external thing, while a &#039;&#039;shvua&#039;&#039; initiates an internal change in the one who swears the oath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Roman tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] tradition, oaths were sworn upon &#039;&#039;[[Iuppiter Lapis]]&#039;&#039; or the Jupiter Stone located in the [[Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus|Temple of Jupiter]], [[Capitoline Hill]]. &#039;&#039;Iuppiter Lapis&#039;&#039; was held in the Roman tradition to be an [[Oath Stone]], an aspect of Jupiter in his role as divine law-maker responsible for order and used principally for the investiture of the oathtaking of office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Cyril Bailey, in &amp;quot;The Religion of Ancient Rome&amp;quot; (1907):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote| text=We have, for instance, the sacred stone (&#039;&#039;[[Silex#Archaic and foreign uses|silex]]&#039;&#039;) which was preserved in the temple of Iuppiter on the Capitol, and was brought out to play a prominent part in the ceremony of treaty-making. The [[fetial]], who on that occasion represented the Roman people, at the solemn moment of the oath-taking, struck the sacrificial pig with the &#039;&#039;silex&#039;&#039;, saying as he did so, &amp;quot;Do thou, [[Jupiter (mythology)|Diespiter]], strike the Roman people as I strike this pig here to-day, and strike them the more, as thou art greater and stronger.&amp;quot; Here no doubt the underlying notion is not merely symbolical, but in origin the stone is itself the god, an idea which later religion expressed in the cult-title specially used in this connection, &#039;&#039;Iuppiter Lapis&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Bailey |first=Cyril |date=1907 |title=The Religion of Ancient Rome |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18564/18564-h/18564-h.htm#CHAPTER_II |location=London |publisher=Archibald Constable &amp;amp; Co. Ltd. |page=7 |access-date=2015-08-18}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The punisher of broken oaths was the [[Hell|infernal]] deity [[Orcus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hindu tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bheeshma oath by RRV.jpg|thumb|right|Devarata taking his &#039;&#039;bhishama pratigya&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Hindu epics]], like the [[Ramayana]] and the [[Mahabharata]], oaths, called &#039;&#039;pratigya&#039;&#039;, are taken seriously. It is mentioned that people would give up their lives, but not break a vow. Due to this, King [[Dasharatha]] took an oath for his Queen [[Kaikeyi]] (on her maid, [[Manthara]]&#039;s insistence) and thus had to exile his favorite son, Lord [[Rama]] along with his wife Devi [[Sita]] and brother [[Lakshmana]] for fourteen years in the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Mahabharata, [[Bhishma|Devrata]] took an oath of [[celibacy]] so that [[Satyavati]]&#039;s father would marry her to Devrata&#039;s father, King [[Shantanu]]. He also took an oath to not rule the [[Kuru Kingdom|kingdom]] and remain loyal to the king, who would be a descendant of Satyavati. Thus, Devavrata got the name &#039;&#039;Bhishma&#039;&#039;, which means someone who has taken a terrible oath. Many others also took oaths that they fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Greek tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Walter Burkert]] has shown that since [[Lycurgus of Athens]] (d. 324 BCE), who held that &amp;quot;it is the oath which holds democracy together&amp;quot;, religion, morality and political organization had been linked by the oath, and the oath and its prerequisite altar had become the basis of both civil and criminal, as well as international law.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Burkert, &#039;&#039;Greek Religion&#039;&#039;, trans. Raffan, Harvard University Press (1985), 250ff.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In traditional Greek folk songs, such as The Dead Brother&#039;s Song, the significance of the oath is highlighted. The power of an oath is such that it transcends death, as the deceased brother arises from the grave to fulfill his oath to his mother.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Πολίτης|first=Λίνος|title=Ιστορία της Νεοελληνικής Λογοτεχνίας|publisher=Μορφωτικό Ίδρυμα Εθνικής Τραπέζης|year=2002|location=Αθήνα}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Christian tradition===&lt;br /&gt;
Various religious groups have objected to the taking of oaths, most notably the [[Religious Society of Friends]] (Quakers) and [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]] groups, like [[Mennonite]]s, [[Amish]], [[Hutterite]]s and [[Schwarzenau Brethren]]. This is principally based on Matthew 5:34–37,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Bibleverse||Matthew|5:34–37}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[Antithesis of the Law]]. Here, Christ is reported as having said: &amp;quot;I say to you: &#039;[[Swear not at all]]{{&#039;&amp;quot;}}. [[James the Just]] stated in 5:12&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Bibleverse|James|5:12}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your &#039;Yes&#039; be yes, and your &#039;No&#039;, no, or you will be condemned.&amp;quot; Beyond this scriptural authority, Quakers place importance on being truthful at all times, so the testimony opposing oaths springs from a view that &amp;quot;taking legal oaths implies a double standard of truthfulness&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Faith and Practice&#039;&#039;, Baltimore Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (1988) p. 19.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; suggesting that truthfulness in legal contexts is somehow more important than truthfulness in non-legal contexts and that truthfulness in those other contexts is therefore somehow less important.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not all [[Christianity|Christians]] interpret this reading as forbidding all types of oaths, however. Opposition to oath-taking among some groups of Christian caused many problems for these groups throughout their history. [[Quaker]]s were frequently imprisoned because of their refusal to swear [[loyalty oath]]s. Testifying in court was also difficult; [[George Fox]], Quakers&#039; founder, famously challenged a judge who had asked him to swear, saying that he would do so once the judge could point to any [[Bible]] passage where Jesus or his apostles took oaths — the judge could not, but this did not allow Fox to escape punishment. Legal reforms from the 18th century onwards mean that everyone in the [[United Kingdom]] now has the right to make a solemn [[Affirmation (law)|affirmation]] instead of an oath. The [[United States]] has permitted affirmations since it was founded; it is explicitly mentioned in the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]. Only President [[Franklin Pierce]] has chosen to affirm rather than swear at his inauguration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As late as 1880, [[Charles Bradlaugh]] was denied a seat as an MP in the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] because of his professed [[atheism]] as he was judged unable to swear the [[Oath of Allegiance (UK)|Oath of Allegiance]] in spite of his proposal to swear the oath as a &amp;quot;matter of form&amp;quot;.{{cn|date=March 2023}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Islamic tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
Islam takes the fulfillment of oaths extremely seriously, as directed by the Qur&#039;an:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|God does not hold you responsible for the mere utterance of oaths; He holds you responsible for your actual intentions. If you violate an oath, you shall atone by feeding ten poor people from the same food you offer to your own family, or clothing them, or by freeing a slave. If you cannot afford this, then you shall fast three days. This is the atonement for violating the oaths that you swore to keep. You shall fulfill your oaths. God thus explains His revelations to you, that you may be appreciative.|Quran [[Al-Ma&#039;ida|Chapter 5]]: [[Āyah|Verse]] 89}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Germanic tradition ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Further|Symbel|Feudalism}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Germanic tribes|Germanic]] [[warrior culture]] was significantly based on oaths of fealty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A prose passage inserted in the eddic poem &#039;&#039;[[Helgakviða Hjörvarðssonar]]&#039;&#039; relates: Hedin was coming home alone from the forest one [[Yule]]-eve, and found a [[troll]]-woman; she rode on a wolf, and had snakes in place of a bridle. She asked Hedin for his company. &amp;quot;Nay,&amp;quot; said he. She said, &amp;quot;Thou shalt pay for this at the &#039;&#039;bragarfull&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot; That evening the great vows were taken; the [[Sonargöltr|sacred boar]] was brought in, the men laid their hands thereon, and took their vows at the &#039;&#039;bragarfull&#039;&#039;. Hedin vowed that he would have Sváva, Eylimi&#039;s daughter, the beloved of his brother Helgi; then such great grief seized him that he went forth on wild paths southward over the land, and found Helgi, his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such Norse traditions are directly parallel to the &amp;quot;bird oaths&amp;quot; of late medieval France, such as the [[voeux du faisan]] (oath on the pheasant) or the (fictional) [[voeux du paon]] (oath on the peacock). Huizinga, &#039;&#039;[[The Autumn of the Middle Ages]]&#039;&#039; (ch. 3); Michel Margue, &amp;quot;Vogelgelübde&amp;quot; am Hof des Fürsten. Ritterliches Integrationsritual zwischen Traditions- und Gegenwartsbezug (14. – 15. Jahrhundert)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Modern law ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Officer Natalie Corona swearing-in.jpg|thumb|upright|A new police officer in the US being sworn in, 2018.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern law, oaths are made by a witness to a court of law before giving testimony and usually by a newly appointed government officer to the people of a state before taking office. However, in both of those cases, an [[Affirmation (law)|affirmation]] can usually be replaced with a written statement, only if the author swears the statement is true. This statement is called an &#039;&#039;[[affidavit]]&#039;&#039;. This is in contrast to a [[statutory declaration]], where no sworn oath or affirmation is involved. The oath given to support an affidavit is frequently administered by a [[notary]], who will certify the giving of the oath by affixing her or his seal to the document. Willfully delivering a false oath (or affirmation) is the crime of [[perjury]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are some places where there is a confusion between the &amp;quot;oath&amp;quot; and other statements or promises. For example, the current [[Olympic Oath]] is really a [[Promise|pledge]], not properly an oath, since there is only a promise but there is no appeal to a sacred witness. Oaths may also be confused with [[vow]]s, but vows are really just a particular kind of an oath.&lt;br /&gt;

== Hand gestures ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anjala.vaakuna.svg|thumb|&amp;quot;Hand on oath&amp;quot; used as a [[Charge (heraldry)|charge]] on the [[coat of arms]] of [[Anjala]], [[Finland]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of, or in addition to, holding one&#039;s hand upon an object of ceremonial importance, it can be customary for a person swearing an oath to hold a raised hand in a specific gesture. Most often the right hand is raised. This custom has been explained with reference to medieval practices of branding palms.&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Scout Sign]] can be made while giving the [[Scout Promise]]. In &#039;&#039;[[Scouting for Boys]]&#039;&#039; the movement&#039;s founder, [[Robert Baden-Powell]], instructed: &amp;quot;While taking this oath the scout will stand, holding his right hand raised level with his shoulder, palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of the digitus minimus (little finger) and the other three fingers upright, pointing upwards.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;SfB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Robert Baden-Powell|title=Scouting for Boys|publisher=Horace Cox|year=1908|edition=Part I|location=Windsor House, Bream&#039;s Buildings, London E.C.|page=40|author-link=Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|title-link=Scouting for Boys}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;National Order of the Legion of Honour&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-fr|Ordre national de la Légion d&#039;honneur}} {{IPA-fr|ɔʁdʁ nɑsjɔnal də la leʒjɔ̃ dɔnœʁ|}}), formerly the &#039;&#039;&#039;Royal Order of the Legion of Honour&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang|fr|Ordre royal de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}), is the highest French [[order of merit]], both [[military]] and civil. Established in 1802 by [[Napoleon|Napoleon Bonaparte]], it has been retained (with occasional slight alterations) by all later French governments and regimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order&#039;s [[motto]] is &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Honneur et Patrie}}&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;Honour and Fatherland&amp;quot;); its [[Seat (legal entity)|seat]] is the [[Palais de la Légion d&#039;Honneur]] next to the [[Musée d&#039;Orsay]], on the left bank of the [[Seine]] in [[Paris]].{{efn|The award for the French Legion of Honour is known by many titles, also depending on the five levels of degree: Knight of the Legion of Honour; &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Chevalier de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;; Officer of the Legion of Honour; &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Officier de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;; Commander of the Legion of Honour; &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Commandeur de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;; Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour; &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand officier de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;; Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour; &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand&#039;Croix de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;. The word &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|honneur}}&#039;&#039; is often capitalised, as in the name of the palace &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|[[Palais de la Légion d&#039;Honneur]]}}&#039;&#039;.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order is divided into five degrees of increasing distinction: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Chevalier}}&#039;&#039; ([[Knight]]), &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Officier}}&#039;&#039; (Officer), &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Commandeur}}&#039;&#039; ([[Commander (order)|Commander]]), &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand officier}}&#039;&#039; (Grand Officer) and &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand-croix}}&#039;&#039; ([[Grand Cross]]).&lt;br /&gt;

===Consulate===&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[French Revolution]], all of the French [[Order of chivalry|orders of chivalry]] were abolished and replaced with [[Weapons of Honour]]. It was the wish of [[Napoleon|Napoleon Bonaparte]], the [[French Consulate|First Consul]], to create a reward to commend civilians and soldiers. From this wish was instituted a {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}},&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pierre-Louis Roederer, &amp;quot;Speech Proposing the Creation of a Legion of Honour&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;Napoleon: Symbol for an Age, A Brief History with Documents&#039;&#039;, ed. Rafe Blaufarb (New York: Bedford/St. Martin&#039;s, 2008), 101–102.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a body of men that was not an order of [[chivalry]], for Napoleon believed that France wanted a [[order of merit|recognition of merit]] rather than a new system of nobility. However, the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} did use the organization of the old French orders of chivalry, for example, the {{lang|fr|[[Order of Saint Louis|Ordre de Saint-Louis]]}}. The insignia of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} bear a resemblance to those of the {{lang|fr|Ordre de Saint-Louis}}, which also used a red ribbon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Baetjer |first=Katharine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3CqQDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=%22L%C3%A9gion+d%27honneur%22+%22ribbon%22&amp;amp;pg=PA326 |title=French Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art from the Early Eighteenth Century through the Revolution |date=2019-04-15 |publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art |isbn=978-1-58839-661-7 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Napoleon originally created this award to ensure political loyalty. The organization would be used as a façade to give political favours, gifts, and concessions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=Colin|title=The Cambridge Illustrated History of France|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=0-521-43294-4|page=[https://archive.org/details/cambridgeillustr00jone_0/page/196 196]|edition=1st|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/cambridgeillustr00jone_0|date=20 October 1994}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} was loosely patterned after a [[Roman legion]], with [[legionary|legionaries]], [[officer (armed forces)|officers]], commanders, regional &amp;quot;[[cohort (military unit)|cohort]]s&amp;quot; and a grand council. The highest rank was not a Grand Cross but a {{lang|fr|Grand aigle}} (Grand Eagle), a rank that wore the insignia common to a Grand Cross. The members were paid, the highest of them extremely generously:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 5,000 [[franc]]s to a {{lang|fr|grand officier}},&lt;br /&gt;
* 2,000 francs to a {{lang|fr|commandeur}},&lt;br /&gt;
* 1,000 francs to an {{lang|fr|officier}},&lt;br /&gt;
* 250 francs to a {{lang|fr|légionnaire}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Napoleon famously declared, &amp;quot;You call these baubles, well, it is with baubles that men are led... Do you think that you would be able to make men fight by reasoning? Never. That is good only for the scholar in his study. The soldier needs glory, distinctions, rewards.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Antoine Claire Thibaudeau |title=Mémoires sur le Consulat. 1799 à 1804 |url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Rfl9mwoQBzkC |trans-title=Memories of the Consulate, 1799–1804 |year=1827 |publisher=Chez Ponthieu et Cie |location=Paris |pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Rfl9mwoQBzkC/page/n94 83]–84 |language=fr |author-link=Antoine Claire Thibaudeau }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This has been often quoted as &amp;quot;It is with such baubles that men are led.&amp;quot; Napoleon was also occasionally noted after a battle to ask who the bravest man in a regiment was, and upon the regiment declaring the individual, the Emperor would take the Legion d&#039;Honneur of his own coat and pin it on the chest of the man.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation |title=Napoleon PBS Documentary 3 Of 4 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy1B8rwMyqM |language=en |access-date=2023-01-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order was the first modern [[order of merit]]. Under the monarchy, such orders were often limited to Roman Catholics, all [[knights]] had to be noblemen, and military decorations were restricted to [[commissioned officer|officers]].{{cn|date=December 2021}} The {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}}, however, was open to men of all ranks and professions; only merit or bravery counted. The new legionnaire had to be sworn into the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}}.&lt;br /&gt;
All previous orders were Christian, or shared a clear Christian background, whereas the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} is a secular institution. The badge of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} has five arms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===First Empire===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--this section linked from image caption above--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a decree issued on the {{lang|fr|10 [[Pluviôse]] [[French Republican Calendar|XIII]]}} (30 January 1805), a grand decoration was instituted. This decoration, a cross on a large [[sash]] and a silver star with an eagle, symbol of the Napoleonic Empire, became known as the {{lang|fr|Grand aigle}} (Grand Eagle), and later in 1814 as the {{lang|fr|Grand cordon}} (big sash, literally &amp;quot;big ribbon&amp;quot;). After Napoleon crowned himself [[Emperor of the French]] in 1804 and established the [[Nobility of the First French Empire|Napoleonic nobility]] in 1808, award of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} gave right to the title of &amp;quot;Knight of the Empire&amp;quot; ({{lang|fr|Chevalier de l&#039;Empire}}). The title was made hereditary after three generations of grantees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Napoleon had dispensed 15 golden collars of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} among his family and his senior ministers. This collar was abolished in 1815.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although research is made difficult by the loss of the archives, it is rumoured that three women who fought with the army were decorated with the order: [[Virginie Ghesquière]], [[Marie Schellinck|Marie-Jeanne Schelling]] and a [[nun]], Sister [[Anne Biget]].{{efn|The first recorded women&#039;s award is 1851, under [[Napoleon III of France|Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} was prominent and visible in the French Empire. The Emperor always wore it, and the fashion of the time allowed for decorations to be worn most of the time. The king of [[Sweden]] therefore declined the order; it was too common in his eyes. Napoleon&#039;s own decorations were captured by the [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussians]] and were displayed in the {{lang|de|Zeughaus}} (armoury) in Berlin until 1945. Today, they are in Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;

===Restoration of the Bourbon King of France in 1814===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Unreferenced section|date=August 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Louis XVIII of France|Louis XVIII]] changed the appearance of the order, but it was not abolished. To have done so would have angered the 35,000 to 38,000 members. The images of Napoleon and his eagle were removed and replaced by the image of King [[Henry IV of France|Henry IV]], the popular first king of the [[House of Bourbon|Bourbon]] line. Three Bourbon {{lang|fr|[[fleur-de-lys|fleurs-de-lys]]}} replaced the eagle on the reverse of the order. A king&#039;s crown replaced the imperial crown. In 1816, the grand cordons were renamed grand crosses and the legionnaires became knights. The king decreed that the commandants were now commanders. The {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} became the second-ranking order of knighthood of the French monarchy, after the [[Order of the Holy Spirit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===July Monarchy===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Louis philippe 1835 par desnos.jpeg|thumb|[[Louis Philippe I]], King of the French, wearing the sash and star of the Grand Cross, as well as the Officers Cross of the order]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the overthrow of the Bourbons in favour of King [[Louis Philippe I]] of the [[House of Orléans]], the Bourbon monarchy&#039;s orders were once again abolished and the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} was restored in 1830 as the paramount decoration of the French nation. The insignia were drastically altered; the cross now displayed [[flag of France|tricolour flags]]. In 1847, there were 47,000 members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Second Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Yet another revolution in Paris (in 1848) brought a new republic (the second) and a new design to the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}}. A nephew of the founder, [[Napoleon III|Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte]], was elected president and he restored the image of his uncle on the crosses of the order. In 1852, the first recorded woman, [[Angélique Brûlon|Angélique Duchemin]], an old revolutionary of the 1789 uprising against the absolute monarchy, was admitted into the order. On 2 December 1851, President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte staged a [[coup d&#039;état]] with the help of the armed forces. He made himself [[Emperor of the French]] exactly one year later on 2 December 1852, after a successful [[plebiscite]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Second Empire===&lt;br /&gt;
An Imperial crown was added. During [[Napoleon III]]&#039;s reign, the first American was admitted: [[Thomas Wiltberger Evans]], dentist of Napoleon III.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Third Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:111-SC-38214 - NARA - 55235582-cropped.jpg|thumb|[[Philippe Pétain]] and [[John J. Pershing]] were decorated with the &#039;&#039;Grand-croix&#039;&#039; of the Legion of Honor, as were several US generals with the &#039;&#039;Commandeur&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Chevalier&#039;&#039; medal shortly after World War I, in 1919.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1870, the defeat of the French Imperial Army in the [[Franco-Prussian War]] brought the end of the Empire and the creation of the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]] (1871–1940). As France changed, the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} changed as well. The crown was replaced by a [[laurel wreath|laurel]] and oak wreath. In 1871, during the [[Paris Commune]] uprising, the {{lang|fr|[[Palais de la Légion d&#039;Honneur|Hôtel de Salm]]}}, headquarters of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}}, was burned to the ground in fierce street combats; the archives of the order were lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second term of President [[Jules Grévy]], which started in 1885, newspaper journalists brought to light the trafficking of Grévy&#039;s son-in-law, Daniel Wilson, in the awarding of decorations of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}}. Grévy was not accused of personal participation in this scandal, but he was slow to accept his indirect political responsibility, which caused his eventual resignation on 2 December 1887.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[World War I]], some 55,000 decorations were conferred, 20,000 of which went to foreigners. The large number of decorations resulted from the new posthumous awards authorised in 1918. Traditionally, membership in the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} could not be awarded posthumously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fourth and Fifth Republics===&lt;br /&gt;
The establishment of the [[French Fourth Republic|Fourth Republic]] in 1946 brought about the latest change in the design of the Legion of Honour. The date &amp;quot;1870&amp;quot; on the obverse was replaced by a single star. No changes were made after the establishment of the [[French Fifth Republic|Fifth Republic]] in 1958.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Legal status and leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
The Legion of Honour is a national order of France, meaning a public incorporated body. The Legion is regulated by a [[code (law)|civil law code]], the &amp;quot;Code of the Legion of Honour and of the Military Medal&amp;quot;. While the [[President of France|President of the French Republic]] is the Grand Master of the order, day-to-day running is entrusted to the Grand Chancery (&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Grand Master====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GrandCollier.jpg|thumb|Current [[Collar (order)|collar]] of the Fifth Republic, which is the insignia of the [[President of France|Grand Master]] at the [[Élysée Palace]] during a presidential inauguration. The collar is usually kept in the [[Musée de la Légion d&#039;honneur|Musée de la Legion d&#039;Honneur]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the establishment of the Legion, the Grand Master of the order has always been the Emperor, King or President of France. [[President of France|President]] [[Emmanuel Macron]] therefore became the Grand Master of the Legion on 14 May 2017.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Passation de pouvoir entre François Hollande et Emmanuel Macron |work=Public Senat |date=14 May 2017 |access-date=9 May 2021 |url= https://www.publicsenat.fr/article/politique/elysee-passation-de-pouvoir-entre-francois-hollande-et-emmanuel-macron-60574 |language=fr }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Master appoints all other members of the order, on the advice of the French government. The Grand Master&#039;s insignia is the [[Grand Collar]] of the Legion. The President of the Republic, as Grand Master of the order, receives the Collar as part of his investiture, but the Grand Masters have not worn the Collar since [[Valéry Giscard d&#039;Estaing]].&amp;lt;ref name=France24&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=France&#039;s legion of honour: Who makes the cut and how? |publisher=FRANCE 24 English |work=France in Focus |via=YouTube |date=27 January 2019 |access-date=9 May 2021 |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW3d58Ckbi0 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211028/mW3d58Ckbi0| archive-date=28 October 2021}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====The Grand Chancery====&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Chancery is headed by the Grand Chancellor, usually a retired general, and the Secretary General, a civilian administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grand Chancellor: [[Army General (France)|General]] [[Benoît Puga]] (since 23 August 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
* Secretary-General: [[Luc Fons]] (since 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Chancery also regulates the [[National Order of Merit (France)|National Order of Merit]] and the &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|[[médaille militaire]]}}&#039;&#039; (Military Medal). There are several structures funded by and operated under the authority of the Grand Chancery, like the [[Maison d&#039;éducation de la Légion d&#039;honneur|Legion of Honour Schools]] (&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Maisons d&#039;éducation de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;) and the [[Musée de la Légion d&#039;honneur|Legion of Honour Museum]] (&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Musée de la Légion d&#039;honneur}}&#039;&#039;). The Legion of Honour Schools are élite boarding schools in [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Denis]] and Camp des Loges in the forest of [[Saint-Germain-en-Laye]]. Study there is restricted to daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters of members of the order, the &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|[[médaille militaire]]}}&#039;&#039; or the &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|[[ordre national du Mérite]]}}&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.melh.info/spip.php?rubrique4|title=Modalités d&#039;admission|website=Maison d&#039;éducation de la Légion d&#039;honneur|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225155804/http://www.melh.info/spip.php?rubrique4|archive-date=25 December 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Membership===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Lists of Légion d&#039;honneur recipients}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are five classes in the Legion of Honour:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Chevalier}}&#039;&#039;&#039; (Knight): minimum 20 years of public service or 25 years of professional activity with &amp;quot;eminent merits&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Officier}}&#039;&#039;&#039; (Officer): minimum 8 years in the rank of {{lang|fr|Chevalier}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Commandeur}}&#039;&#039;&#039; (Commander): minimum 5 years in the rank of {{lang|fr|Officier}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand officier}}&#039;&#039;&#039; (Grand Officer): minimum 3 years in the rank of {{lang|fr|Commandeur}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand-croix}}&#039;&#039;&#039; (Grand Cross): minimum 3 years in the rank of {{lang|fr|Grand-officier}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;eminent merits&amp;quot; required to be awarded the order require the flawless performance of one&#039;s trade as well as doing more than ordinarily expected, such as being creative, zealous and contributing to the growth and well-being of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order has a maximum quota of 75 Grand Cross, 250 Grand Officers, 1,250 Commanders, 10,000 Officers, and 113,425 (ordinary) Knights. {{As of|2010|post=,}} the actual membership was 67 Grand Cross, 314 Grand Officers, 3,009 Commanders, 17,032 Officers and 74,384 Knights. Appointments of veterans of [[World War II]], French military personnel involved in the [[North African Campaign]] and other foreign French military operations, as well as wounded soldiers, are made independently of the quota.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members convicted of a felony ({{lang|fr|crime}} in French) are automatically dismissed from the order. Members convicted of a misdemeanour ({{lang|fr|délit}} in French) can be dismissed as well, although this is not automatic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wearing the decoration of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} without having the right to do so is a serious offence. Wearing the ribbon or [[rosette (decoration)|rosette]] of a foreign order is prohibited if that ribbon is mainly red, like the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. French military personnel in uniform must salute other military members in uniform wearing the medal, whatever the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur}} rank and the military rank of the bearer. This is not mandatory with the ribbon. In practice, however, this is rarely done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is not a single, complete list of all the members of the Legion in chronological order. The number is estimated at one million, including about 2,900 Knights Grand Cross.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book| author = M. Wattel, B. Wattel. | title = Les Grand&#039;Croix de la Légion d&#039;honneur de 1805 à nos jours.

&lt;br /&gt;
====French nationals====&lt;br /&gt;
French nationals, men and women, can be received into the {{lang|fr|Légion}}, for &amp;quot;eminent merit&amp;quot; ({{lang|fr|mérites éminents}}) in military or civil life. In practice, in current usage, the order is conferred on entrepreneurs, high-level [[French Civil Service|civil servants]], scientists, artists, including famous actors and actresses, sport [[champion]]s,{{efn|All Olympic Gold Medal winners are awarded the {{lang|fr|Légion}}.}} and others with connections in the [[executive branch|executive]]. Members of the [[French Parliament]] cannot receive the order, except for valour in war,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{lang|fr|Légion}} Code, article R22&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and ministers are not allowed to nominate their accountants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until 2008, French nationals could only enter the Legion of Honour at the class of {{lang|fr|Chevalier}} (Knight). To be promoted to a higher class, one had to perform new eminent services in the interest of France and a set number of years had to pass between appointment and promotion. This was however amended in 2008 when entry became possible at Officer, Commander and Grand Officer levels, as a recognition of &amp;quot;extraordinary careers&amp;quot; ({{lang|fr|carrières hors du commun}}). In 2009, [[Simone Veil]] became the first person to enter the Order at Grand Officer level.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |language=fr |title=Simone Veil grand officier de la légion d&#039;honneur |url=http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/culture/20081231.OBS7893/simone-veil-grand-officier-de-la-legion-d-honneur.html |newspaper=[[Le Nouvel Observateur]] |location=Paris |date=31 December 2008 |access-date=25 August 2015 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Veil was a member of the {{lang|fr|[[Académie française]]}}, a former [[Minister of Health (France)|Health Minister]] and [[President of the European Parliament]], as well as an [[Auschwitz]] survivor. She was promoted to Grand Cross in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every year at least five recipients decline the award. Even if they refuse to accept it, they are still included in the order&#039;s official membership.&amp;lt;ref name=France24/&amp;gt; The composers [[Maurice Ravel]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |title=Proof through the night music and the great war |last=Watkins |first=Glenn |date=1 January 2003 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=978-0-520-92789-6 |oclc=937278246 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[Charles Koechlin]], for example, declined the award when it was offered to them.{{citation needed |date=January 2016}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Collective awards====&lt;br /&gt;
Collective appointments can be made to cities, institutions or companies. A total of 64 settlements in France have been decorated, as well as six foreign cities: [[Liège]] in 1914,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Liège.

&lt;br /&gt;
Organisations to receive the honour include the [[French Red Cross]] ({{lang|fr|Croix-Rouge Française}}), the {{lang|fr|Abbaye de Nôtre-Dame des Dombes}} ([[Abbey of Notre-Dame des Dombes|Abbey of {{lang|fr|Notre-Dame des Dombes|nocat=y}}]]), the French National Railway Company ({{lang|fr|[[SNCF]], Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français}}), the {{lang|fr|Préfecture de Police de la Ville de Paris}} ([[Prefecture of Police of Paris]]), and various {{lang|fr|[[Grandes Écoles]]}} (National (Elite) Colleges) and other educational establishments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Military awards====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ordre national de la Légion d’Honneur, Croix de Chevalier attribuée au lieutenant Tessier.jpg|thumb|Notice of posthumous award of the {{lang|fr|Croix de Chevalier}} to Lieutenant Tessier—{{lang|fr|[[Mort pour la France]]}} (&amp;quot;Died for France&amp;quot;) in [[World War I]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The military distinctions ({{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;honneur à titre militaire}}) are awarded for bravery ({{lang|fr|actions de guerre}}) or for service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* award for extreme bravery: the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;Honneur}} is awarded jointly with a [[mention in dispatches]]. This is the top valour award in France. It is rarely awarded, mainly to soldiers who have died in battle.&lt;br /&gt;
* award for service: the {{lang|fr|Légion}} is awarded without any citation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====French service-members=====&lt;br /&gt;
For active-duty commissioned officers, the Legion of Honour award for service is achieved after 20 years of meritorious service, having been awarded the rank of {{lang|fr|Chevalier}} of the {{lang|fr|[[Ordre National du Mérite]]}}. Bravery awards lessen the time needed for the award—in fact decorated servicemen become directly chevaliers of the {{lang|fr|Légion d&#039;Honneur}}, skipping the {{lang|fr|Ordre du Mérite}}. NCOs almost never achieve that award, except for the most heavily decorated service members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Collective military awards=====&lt;br /&gt;
Collective appointments can be made to military units. In the case of a military unit, its flag is decorated with the insignia of a knight, which is a different award from the {{lang|fr|[[fourragère]]}}. Twenty-one schools, mainly schools providing reserve officers during the World Wars, were awarded the Légion d&#039;Honneur. Foreign military units can be decorated with the order, such as the [[U.S. Military Academy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Flag or Standard of the following units was decorated with the Cross of a Knight of the Legion of Honour:{{efn|Officially, military units are not members of the Legion of Honour, which include only individuals. As for foreign Legionnaires, they are &amp;quot;decorated with the Legion of Honour insignia&amp;quot;, not &amp;quot;member of the Legion of Honour&amp;quot;. Do not confuse military units that received the {{lang|fr|[[fourragère]]}} to the colour of the ribbon of the Legion of Honour (units quoted at six, seven or eight times in the order of the army with military units whose flag is decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honour.}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Classes and insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Wearing of the insignia of the Légion d&#039;honneur (gentlemens).svg|thumb|upright=3.2|center|The five classes wearing their respective insignia (gentlemen): 1: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Chevalier}}&#039;&#039;; 2: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Officier}}&#039;&#039;; 3: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Commandeur}}&#039;&#039;; 4: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand-officier}}&#039;&#039;; 5: &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand-croix}}&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order has had five levels since the reign of King Louis XVIII, who restored the order in 1815. Since the reform, the following distinctions have existed:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Three ranks:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Chevalier}}&#039;&#039; (Knight): badge worn on left breast suspended from ribbon&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Officier}}&#039;&#039; (Officer): badge worn on left breast suspended from a ribbon with a [[rosette (decoration)|rosette]]&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Commandeur}}&#039;&#039; (Commander): badge around neck suspended from ribbon necklet&lt;br /&gt;
* Two dignities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand officier}}&#039;&#039; (Grand Officer): badge worn on left breast suspended from a ribbon (Officer), with star displayed on right breast&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand-croix}}&#039;&#039; (Grand Cross), formerly &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grande décoration}}&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand aigle}}&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Grand cordon}}&#039;&#039;: the highest level; badge affixed to sash worn over the right shoulder, with star displayed on left breast&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the order&#039;s long history, and the remarkable fact that it has been retained by all subsequent governments and regimes since the First Empire, the order&#039;s design has undergone many changes. Although the basic shape and structure of the insignia has remained generally the same, the hanging device changed back and forth and France itself swung back and forth between [[republic]] and [[monarchy]]. The central disc in the centre has also changed to reflect the political system and leadership of France at the time. As each new regime came along the design was altered to become politically correct for the time, sometimes even changed multiple times during one historical era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Design of the Legion d’Honneur through the years.png|center|thumb|1048x1048px|How the design of the Legion d&#039;Honneur changed through each various era and regime, shown through the example of the obverse and reverse of the Officers cross. See below for a detailed explanation of each era.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;badge&#039;&#039; of the {{lang|fr|Légion}} is shaped as a five-armed &amp;quot;Maltese [[Asterisk]]&amp;quot;, using five distinctive &amp;quot;arrowhead&amp;quot; shaped arms inspired by the [[Maltese Cross (symbol)|Maltese Cross]]. The badge is rendered in [[gilding|gilt]] (in silver for chevalier) enameled white, with an enameled [[laurel wreath|laurel]] and [[oak]] wreath between the arms. The obverse central disc is in gilt, featuring the head of [[Marianne]], surrounded by the legend &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|République Française}}&#039;&#039; on a blue enamel ring. The reverse central disc is also in gilt, with a set of crossed &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|[[flag of France|tricolores]]}}&#039;&#039;, surrounded by the Légion&#039;s motto &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Honneur et Patrie}}&#039;&#039; (Honour and Country) and its foundation date on a blue enamel ring. The badge is suspended by an enameled laurel and oak wreath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;star&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|plaque}}&#039;&#039;) is worn by the Grand Cross (in gilt on the left chest) and the Grand Officer (in silver on the right chest) respectively; it is similar to the badge, but without enamel, and with the wreath replaced by a cluster of rays in between each arm. The central disc features the head of [[Marianne]], surrounded by the legend &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|République Française}}&#039;&#039; (French Republic) and the motto &#039;&#039;{{lang|fr|Honneur et Patrie}}&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=The Legion of Honor in 10 questions|url=http://www.legiondhonneur.fr/en/page/legion-honor-10-questions/406|publisher=The Grand Chancery of the Legion of Honor|access-date=18 September 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;[[ribbon]]&#039;&#039; for the medal is plain red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The badge or star is not usually worn, except at the time of the decoration ceremony or on a [[dress uniform]] or [[formal wear]]. Instead, one normally wears the ribbon or rosette on their suit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For less formal occasions, recipients wear a simple stripe of thread sewn onto the lapel (red for {{Lang|fr|chevaliers}} and {{Lang|fr|officiers}}, silver for {{Lang|fr|commandeurs}}). Except when wearing a dark suit with a lapel, women instead typically wear a small lapel pin called a barrette. Recipients purchase the special thread and barrettes at a store in Paris near the Palais Royal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Donadio |first=Rachel |date=11 May 2008 |title=That Isn&#039;t Lint on My Lapel, I&#039;m an Officier |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/11/fashion/11chevalier.html |website=The New York Times |access-date=7 August 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

|[[French First Republic|1804]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The very first model of the Legion d&#039;Honneur did not hang from a crown or wreath. It lasted for just 9 months from May 1804 until February 1805 and encompassed the founding of the [[First French Empire]] on the 18th May 1804. Despite being officially established on 19th May 1802, no awards were made until this version. This version shows the [[Emperor of the French|Emperor]] on the obverse and the imperial eagle on the reverse. The text on the ring on both the obverse and reverse would remain the same during the entirety of [[Napoleon|Napoleon&#039;s]] reign. &lt;br /&gt;

|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[First French Empire|1805]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The second model of differed only from the first by the addition of the [[Crown of Napoleon|imperial crown]] atop the cross, and was attached to one of the arms of the cross. The image of the Emperor is also slightly smaller than the previous version, while the reverse ring also has a stylised wreath at the bottom instead of three stars.&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[First French Empire|1806-1808]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The third model is very similar to the previous second version however the depiction of Napoleon is more similar to the first version and the obverse ring has a wreath at the bottom. The crown, while almost identical to that of the second version this time is free-hanging and separately fixed above the cross.&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:1st Empire 3rd Type Obverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:1st Empire 3rd Type Reverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:1st Empire 3rd Type Crown.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[First French Empire|1808-1809]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The fourth model has as slightly different depiction of the Emperor while the obverse ring has a star and dots in place of the previous versions wreath. The reverse of the fourth model is notable as its the only First Empire model with the eagle facing to the right, while the bottom of the ring has three stars reminiscent of the first model. The crown the cross hangs from is also very different compared to the previous two versions.&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:1st Empire 4th Type Obverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:1st Empire 4th Type Reverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[First French Empire|1809-1814]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The fifth and final version of the First Empire is different from the other versions by the execution of larger text on the rings, with the reverse showing a distinct wreath like object at the bottom. The obverse on some models shows and enamelled [[laurel wreath]] adorning the Emperors head, while on the reverse the eagle is back facing left. The crown is also radically different from the previous models. &lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[Bourbon Restoration in France|1814-1830]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The sixth model from the [[Bourbon Restoration in France|Bourbon Restoration]] period marks the first major alteration from the original design, due to the fact that the [[Kingdom of France|regime]] and leader of France had changed. The crown the cross hangs from has been altered and also features the main symbol of the [[House of Bourbon]]; the [[Fleur-de-lis]]. The obverse features the profile of &amp;quot;The Good King&amp;quot; [[Henry IV of France|Henri IV]] with the text of the ring bearing the words; Henry IV, King of France and the [[Kingdom of Navarre|Navarre]]. The reverse keeps the text of the previous versions; &amp;quot;Honour and Fatherland&amp;quot; and depicts the three Fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the Bourbons.&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[July Monarchy|1830-1848]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The seventh model from the [[July Monarchy]] period is similar to the previous Bourbon Restoration period. The crown is very similar, with just the Fleur-de-lis omitted, the obverse keeps the profile of Henri IV but the obverse ring bears just his name, with the rest of the ring filled with stars and a wreath. The reverse bears the first depiction of what would continue for many future iterations; the two crossed [[Tricolour|tricolours]] with the usual reverse ring motto &amp;quot;Honneur et Patrie&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[French Second Republic|1848-1851]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The eighth model, used for only three years during the [[French Second Republic|Second Republic]] is the only other example apart from the very first model to not have any hanging device (no crown/wreath). The obverse once again shows a portrait of Napoleon, with the text saying &amp;quot;Bonaparte [[French Consulate|First Consul]]&amp;quot; and the date of the order&#039;s founding; 19th May 1802. The reverse shows the crossed tricolours as before, however this time the &amp;quot;Honneur et Patrie is written underneath and not on the ring, the first and only time this was the case. The reverse ring instead reads &amp;quot;République Française&amp;quot; which would later feature on the obverse ring. &lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:2nd Republic Obverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:Second Republic Reverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[French Second Republic|1851-1852]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The ninth or [[Napoleon III|&amp;quot;La Presidence&amp;quot;]] model was only used between 1851-52 and is considered by some to be a hybrid model. It is at the very least a transitional model from the design used during the Second Republic to the [[Second French Empire|Second Empire]]. The execution of the cross is very similar to Second Republic models, just with the addition of a crown (different to that of the Second Empire models) while the obverse continues to show Napoleon, with the ring text of &amp;quot;Napoleon Emp. des Français&amp;quot;. The reverse shows the imperial eagle and the usual ring text. The central discs bear a striking resemblance to the fifth model. &lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[Second French Empire|1852-1870]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The tenth model used in the Second Empire would be the last to date to use either Napoleon&#039;s image or a crown of any sort. The crown used is quite unique and resembles the [[Crown of Napoleon III]], while the obverse shows the Napoleon I with the ring text of &amp;quot;Napoleon Empereur des Français&amp;quot; (the only model to fully spell out Emperor). The reverse shows the usual imperial eagle, though this time facing right like the fourth model. The usual reverse ring text is present with a large wreath at the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;

|[[File:Second Empire Reverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[French Third Republic|1870-1940]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The eleventh model created for the [[French Third Republic|Third French Republic]] would be another radical change, and the first to show much of the symbolism of todays model. It was the first model to hang from a wreath of laurel and oak leaves, and the first to feature the profile of [[Marianne]] on the obverse. The ring on the obverse reads; &amp;quot;République Française&amp;quot;, the first since the early Second Republic and the first time on the obverse, with the date [[1870 in France|1870]]. The back features the tricolours and the usual text of Honour and Fatherland, in a design almost identical to the seventh model used during the July Monarchy. &lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:Third Republic Obverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:Third Republic Reverse.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|[[File:Third Republic Wreath.png|100x100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|[[France|1946-]]&lt;br /&gt;
|The twelfth, final and current version is almost identical to the eleventh. The only differences are found on the ring of the obverse, where the date of 1870, the Third Republic&#039;s founding, is replaced with a star. The reverse is also almost identical, with just the wreath at the bottom of the ring being replaced with &amp;quot;29 Floréal an X&amp;quot;  (29th Floréal Year 10), the date of the order&#039;s founding (19th May 1802) in the [[French Republican calendar|French Revolutionary Calendar]]. Except for these changes the Legion d&#039;Honneur has remained unchanged from 1870, with this exact form being kept during both the [[French Fourth Republic|Fourth]] and current [[French Fifth Republic|Fifth Republic]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Hamid Karzai&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|æ|m|ᵻ|d|_|ˈ|k|ɑːr|z|aɪ}}; [[Pashto]]/{{lang-fa|حامد کرزی}}, {{IPA-ps|ˈhɑmɪd karˈzai}}, {{IPA-prs|ˈhɒːmɪd kaɾzeˈiː}}; born 24 December 1957) is an [[Afghans|Afghan]] [[Politician|statesman]] who served as the fourth [[President of Afghanistan]] from July 2002 to September 2014, including as the first elected president of the [[Islamic Republic of Afghanistan]] from December 2004 to September 2014. He previously served as Chairman of the [[Afghan Interim Administration]] from December 2001 to July 2002. He is the [[Khan (title)|chief]] (&#039;&#039;khān&#039;&#039;) of the [[Popalzai]] [[Durrani]] tribe of [[Pashtun tribes|Pashtuns]] in [[Kandahar Province]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in [[Kandahar]], Karzai graduated from [[Habibia High School]] in [[Kabul]] and later received a [[master&#039;s degree]] in [[India]] in the 1980s. He moved to [[Pakistan]] where he was active as a fundraiser for the [[mujahideen|Afghan rebels]] during the [[Soviet–Afghan War]] (1979–1989) and its aftermath.

Hamid Karzai returned to Afghanistan in early October 1988, late in the war, to assist in the rebel victory in [[Tarinkot]].

&lt;br /&gt;
After Karzai was installed into power, his actual authority outside the capital city of [[Kabul]] was said to be so limited that he was often derided as the &amp;quot;Mayor of Kabul&amp;quot;. The situation was particularly delicate since Karzai and his administration have not been equipped either financially or politically to influence reforms outside of the region around Kabul. Other areas, particularly the more remote ones, have historically been under the influence of various local leaders. Karzai has been, to varying degrees of success, attempting to negotiate and form amicable alliances with them for the benefit of Afghanistan as a whole, instead of aggressively fighting them and risking an uprising.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004, he rejected an international proposal to end [[poppy production in Afghanistan]] through aerial spraying of chemical [[herbicide]]s, fearing that it would harm the economic situation of his countrymen. Moreover, Karzai&#039;s younger brother, [[Ahmed Wali Karzai]]&amp;amp;nbsp;– who partially helped finance Karzai&#039;s presidential campaign&amp;amp;nbsp;– was rumored to be involved in [[narcotic]] deals.

When Karzai was a candidate in the October 2004 [[2004 Afghan presidential election|presidential election]], he won 21 of the 34 [[provinces of Afghanistan|provinces]], defeating his 22 opponents and becoming the first democratically elected leader of Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although his campaigning was limited due to fears of violence, elections passed without significant incident. Following an investigation by the United Nations of alleged voting irregularities, the national election commission in early November declared Karzai winner, without a runoff, with 55.4% of the vote. This represented 4.3&amp;amp;nbsp;million of the total 8.1&amp;amp;nbsp;million votes cast. The election took place safely in spite of a surge of insurgent activity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Democracy Is Born&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Matthew J.

&lt;br /&gt;
Karzai was sworn in as President of the [[Islamic republic|Islamic Republic]] of Afghanistan on 7 December 2004, at a formal ceremony in Kabul. Many interpreted the ceremony as a symbolically important &amp;quot;new start&amp;quot; for the war-torn nation. Notable guests at the inauguration included the country&#039;s former King, [[Mohammed Zahir Shah|Zahir Shah]], three former U.S. presidents, and U.S. Vice President [[Dick Cheney]].&lt;br /&gt;

===First term (2004–2009)===&lt;br /&gt;
After winning a democratic mandate in the 2004 election, it was thought that Karzai would pursue a more aggressively reformist path in 2005. However, Karzai has proved to be more cautious than was expected. After his new administration took over in 2004, the [[economy of Afghanistan]] began growing rapidly for the first time in many years. Government revenue began increasing every year, although it is still heavily dependent on foreign aid.&lt;br /&gt;

During the first term in [[Presidency of Hamid Karzai|Karzai&#039;s presidency]], public discontent grew about corruption and the civilian casualties in the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|2001–14]]. In May 2006, an anti-American and anti-Karzai riot took place in Kabul which left at least seven people dead and 40 injured.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2006/may/29/afghanistan |title=Afghanistan: violence surges |work=The Guardian |location=UK |date=29 May 2006 |access-date=31 January 2010 |first=Mark |last=Tran |archive-date=30 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130830031740/http://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2006/may/29/afghanistan |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In May 2007, after as many as 51 Afghan civilians were killed in a bombing, Karzai asserted that his government &amp;quot;can no longer accept&amp;quot; casualties caused by U.S. and [[NATO]] operations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;washingtonpost_May_3_2007&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|date = 3 May 2007|url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/02/AR2007050202757.html|title = Karzai Says Civilian Toll Is No Longer Acceptable|newspaper = [[The Washington Post]]|access-date = 1 May 2008|author = Pamela Constable|archive-date = 21 August 2008|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080821065514/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/02/AR2007050202757.html|url-status = live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Hamid Karzai in February 2009.jpg|thumbnail|Karzai in February 2009]]&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2006, Karzai told the [[United Nations General Assembly]] that Afghanistan has become the &amp;quot;worst victim&amp;quot; of terrorism.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;RFE/RL, [http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/09/9d5c90e1-de6e-4def-a053-9ba2f0aa4747.html/ Karzai Says Afghanistan &#039;Worst Victim&#039; Of Terrorism ] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080612085114/http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2006/09/9d5c90e1-de6e-4def-a053-9ba2f0aa4747.html |date=12 June 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Karzai said terrorism is rebounding in his country, with militants infiltrating the borders to wage attacks on civilians. He stated, &amp;quot;This does not have its seeds alone in Afghanistan. Military action in the country will, therefore, not deliver the shared goal of eliminating terrorism.&amp;quot; He demanded assistance from the international community to destroy terrorist sanctuaries inside and outside Afghanistan. &amp;quot;You have to look beyond Afghanistan to the sources of terrorism&amp;quot;, he told the UN General Assembly, and &amp;quot;destroy terrorist sanctuaries beyond&amp;quot; the country, dismantle the elaborate networks in the region that recruit, indoctrinate, train, finance, arm, and deploy terrorists. These activities are also robbing thousands of Afghan children of their right to education, and prevent health workers from doing their jobs in Afghanistan. In addition, he promised to eliminate opium-poppy cultivation in his country, which is possibly helping fuel the ongoing [[Taliban insurgency]]. He has repeatedly demanded that NATO forces take more care to avoid civilian casualties when conducting military operations in residential areas.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southcoast&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |date=18 October 2006 |url=http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-06/10-19-06/16world-nation.htm |title=Civilians reported killed by airstrikes as NATO hunts Taliban |newspaper=[[The Standard-Times (New Bedford)|The Standard Times]] |access-date=1 May 2008 |last=Kathy Gannon |archive-date=30 June 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630212724/http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-06/10-19-06/16world-nation.htm |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In a September 2006 video broadcast, Karzai stated that if the money wasted on the [[Iraq War]] had been actually spent on rebuilding Afghanistan, his country would &amp;quot;be in heaven in less than one year&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;msnbc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=&amp;lt;!--7:31&amp;amp;nbsp;pm ET--&amp;gt; 24 September 2006|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/14986859|title=Karzai says U.S. underfunding Afghanistan|publisher=pub|access-date=11 December 2007|last=msnbc|quote=Iraq war money could have stabilized the nation against Taliban surge, he says|archive-date=30 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140730092242/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/14986859|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Further|2009 Afghan presidential election}}&lt;br /&gt;
On the eve of 20 August presidential election, Karzai seemed at once deeply unpopular but also likely to win the majority of the votes. He was blamed by many for the failures that plagued the reconstruction of Afghanistan after the toppling of the Taliban government in 2001, from the widespread corruption and the resurgence of the (neo-)Taliban to the explosion of the poppy trade. His unpopularity and the likelihood of his victory formed an atmosphere with a kind of national demoralization, which could discourage many Afghans from voting and dash hopes for substantial progress after the election.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/26/world/asia/26afghan.html &amp;quot;Afghan Leader Criticizes U.S. on Conduct of War&amp;quot;] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211222833/http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/26/world/asia/26afghan.html |date=11 December 2008 }}, &#039;&#039;The New York Times&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/world/asia/08karzai.html &amp;quot;Leader of Afghanistan Finds Himself Hero No More&amp;quot;] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160723110536/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/world/asia/08karzai.html |date=23 July 2016 }}, &#039;&#039;The New York Times&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/world/asia/25karzai.html &amp;quot;Afghan Leader Outmaneuvers Election Rivals&amp;quot;] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160723110549/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/world/asia/25karzai.html |date=23 July 2016 }}, &#039;&#039;The New York Times&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this second presidential election, Karzai was announced to have received over 50% of the votes. The election was tainted by lack of security, low [[voter turnout]] and widespread [[ballot stuffing]], intimidation, and other [[electoral fraud]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Afghan commission orders first ballots invalidated&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=McDonald |first=Charlotte |url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i3xqZSi2U_mgENDm3TK0-yqI7I_g |title=Afghan commission orders first ballots invalidated |date=10 September 2009 |access-date=31 January 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413122433/https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i3xqZSi2U_mgENDm3TK0-yqI7I_g |archive-date=13 April 2010 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karzai presented his first list of 24 cabinet nominees to the Afghan parliament on 19 December 2009; however, on 2 January 2010, the parliament rejected 17 of these. According to the parliament, most of the nominees were rejected due to having been picked for reasons other than their competency. A member of parliament said that they had been picked largely based on &amp;quot;ethnicity or bribery or money&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8437677.stm |title=Afghan MPs reject most Karzai cabinet nominees |publisher=BBC |date=2 January 2010 |access-date=2 January 2010 |archive-date=3 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100103052030/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8437677.stm |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 January 2010, the Afghan parliament rejected 10 of the Karzai&#039;s 17 replacement picks for the cabinet. MPs complained that Karzai&#039;s new choices were either not qualified for their posts or had close connections to Afghan warlords. Despite the second setback, by mid-January Karzai had 14 out of the 24 ministers confirmed, including the most powerful posts at foreign, defense and interior ministries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8462916.stm|title=Afghan MPs reject many new Karzai cabinet nominees|publisher=BBC|date=16 January 2010|access-date=16 January 2010|archive-date=17 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100117110410/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8462916.stm|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Shortly afterward, the parliament began its winter recess, lasting until 20 February, without waiting for Karzai to select additional names for his cabinet. The move not only extended the political uncertainty in the government but also dealt Karzai the embarrassment of appearing at the [[International Conference on Afghanistan London 2010|London Conference on Afghanistan]] with nearly half of his cabinet devoid of leaders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8464283.stm|title=Afghan cabinet vote delayed|publisher=BBC|date=17 January 2010|access-date=17 January 2010|archive-date=20 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100120033829/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8464283.stm|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Since late 2001 Karzai has been trying for peace in his country, going as far as pardoning militants that lay down weapons and join the rebuilding process. However, his offers were not accepted by the militant groups.

Karzai&#039;s relations with NATO countries was strong, especially [[Afghanistan – United States relations|with the United States]], due to the fact that it was the leading nation helping to rebuild war-torn Afghanistan. Karzai enjoyed a very friendly and strong strategic partnership with the United States, despite various disagreements. The U.S. had supported him since late 2001 to lead his nation. He has made many important diplomatic trips to the United States and other NATO countries. In August 2007, Karzai was invited to [[Camp David]] in [[Maryland]], USA, for a special meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush. The United States has set up a special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, which is headed by [[Marc Grossman]]. His task is to serve as a [[Mediation|mediator]] and solve issues between the three nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, in later years the relations between U.S. and Karzai had become strained, particularly Karzai had been very critical of U.S. military because of their high-level of civilian casualties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interview-karzai-says-12-year-afghanistan-war-has-left-him-angry-at-us-government/2014/03/02/b831671c-a21a-11e3-b865-38b254d92063_story.html | newspaper=The Washington Post | first=Kevin | last=Sieff | title=Interview: Karzai says 12-year Afghanistan war has left him angry at U.S. government | date=3 March 2014 | access-date=29 August 2017 | archive-date=24 July 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170724021614/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interview-karzai-says-12-year-afghanistan-war-has-left-him-angry-at-us-government/2014/03/02/b831671c-a21a-11e3-b865-38b254d92063_story.html | url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/16/22324740-civilian-deaths-spark-dispute-between-us-led-forces-afghan-president-karzai Civilian deaths spark dispute between US-led forces, Afghan President Karzai – World News&amp;lt;!-- Bot generated title --&amp;gt;] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140323155716/http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/16/22324740-civilian-deaths-spark-dispute-between-us-led-forces-afghan-president-karzai |date=23 March 2014 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/afghanistan-civilian-casualties/ | work=Huffington Post | title=Afghanistan Civilian Casualties | access-date=6 April 2014 | archive-date=7 April 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407100651/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/afghanistan-civilian-casualties/ | url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2019 he described a &amp;quot;major fight&amp;quot; he had with American military officials back in 2007, when Karzai repeatedly told them: &amp;quot;If you want to fight terrorism and bad people, I won&#039;t stop you, but please leave the Afghan people alone&amp;quot;.

&lt;br /&gt;
Further strain in relations with the United States resulted in 2014, when Afghanistan, joined Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela as the only countries to recognize the [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|Russian annexation of Crimea]]. The United States, European countries, and most other nations wholeheartedly condemned the Russian takeover, as well as the validity of the subsequent Crimean Referendum on its annexation to Russia.  Citing &amp;quot;the free will of the Crimean people&amp;quot;, the office of President Hamid Karzai said, &amp;quot;We respect the decision the people of Crimea took through a recent referendum that considers Crimea as part of the Russian Federation.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/24/world/asia/breaking-with-the-west-afghan-leader-supports-russias-annexation-of-crimea.html.story &amp;quot;Breaking With the West, Afghan Leader Supports Russia&#039;s Annexation of Crimea&amp;quot;]. &#039;&#039;The New York Times&#039;&#039;, 23 March 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karzai&#039;s relations with neighboring Pakistan were good, especially with the [[Awami National Party]] (ANP) and [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] (PPP). He often describes his nation and Pakistan as &amp;quot;inseparable twin brothers&amp;quot;, a reference to the [[controversy|disputed]] [[Durand Line]] border between the two states, despite the many border skirmishes that occurred during his presidency. In December 2007, Karzai and his delegates traveled to [[Islamabad]], Pakistan, for a usual meeting with [[Pervez Musharraf]] on trade ties and intelligence sharing between the two Islamic states.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Pajhwok Afghan News]] (PAN), [https://archive.today/20070522044409/http://www.pajhwok.com/viewstory.asp?lng=eng&amp;amp;id=47628 &amp;quot;Islamabad, Kabul agree on intelligence cooperation&amp;quot;] . 27 December 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Karzai also met and had a 45-minute talk with [[Benazir Bhutto]] on the morning of 27 December, hours before her trip to [[Liaquat National Bagh]], where she was assassinated after her speech.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;PAN, [http://www.pajhwok.com/viewstory.asp?lng=eng&amp;amp;id=47687 &amp;quot;Bhutto, Karzai meeting proved the first &amp;amp; last one&amp;quot;]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080527190431/http://www.pajhwok.com/viewstory.asp?lng=eng&amp;amp;id=47687 |date=27 May 2008 }}. 28 December 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After Bhutto&#039;s death, Karzai called her his sister and a brave woman who had a clear vision &amp;quot;for her own country, for Afghanistan, and for the region&amp;amp;nbsp;– a vision of democracy, prosperity, and peace&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.caycompass.com/cgi-bin/CFPnews.cgi?ID=1027483 |title=Bhutto assassinated |publisher=Caycompass |date=27 December 2007 |access-date=31 January 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110512002151/http://www.caycompass.com/cgi-bin/CFPnews.cgi?ID=1027483 |archive-date=12 May 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In September 2008, Karzai was invited on a special visit to witness the swearing-in ceremony of [[Asif Ali Zardari]], who became the [[President of Pakistan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[San Francisco Chronicle]]&#039;&#039;, [https://archive.today/20120912154827/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/09/09/international/i004147D73.DTL Pakistan&#039;s Zardari sworn in as new president]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Afghanistan–Pakistan relations|Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan]] have improved after the PPP party took over in 2008.

On 16 July 2014, President Karzai held a special cabinet meeting where he condemned the [[2014 Israel–Gaza conflict|Israeli attacks on Gaza]] and the killings of civilians while pledging $500,000 USD in aid to [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://president.gov.af/en/news/34839 | title=Afghanistan to assist $500,000 in show of sympathy to the people of Gaza | work=Office of the President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan | date=16 July 2014 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729015036/http://president.gov.af/en/news/34839 | archive-date=29 July 2014 | df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Relations between Karzai and India have always been friendly; he attended university there. [[Afghanistan–India relations]] began getting stronger in 2011, especially after the [[death of Osama bin Laden]] in Pakistan. In October 2011, Karzai signed a strategic partnership agreement with [[Prime Minister of India|Indian Prime Minister]] [[Manmohan Singh]]. During his speech at the &#039;&#039;RK Mishra Memorial&#039;&#039; in New Delhi, Karzai told the audience that &amp;quot;The signing of the strategic partnership with India is not directed against any country. It is not directed against any other entity. This is for Afghanistan to benefit from the strength of India.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://news.yahoo.com/karzai-reassures-pakistan-over-india-alliance-152948013.html |title=Karzai reassures Pakistan over India alliance |agency=AFP |date=5 October 2011 |access-date=6 October 2011 }} {{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Many people have plotted to assassinate Karzai in the last decade, especially the Taliban&#039;s [[Quetta Shura]] and the Taliban-allied [[Haqqani network]] which allegedly receives support and guidance from Pakistan&#039;s [[Inter-Services Intelligence]] (ISI) spy network.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://news.yahoo.com/pakistan-condemns-us-comments-spy-agency-044440789.html;_ylt=A2KJ3vVYX3xOdRkA9EZXNyoA?rnd=005681253004174930714413 |title=Pakistan condemns US comments about spy agency |agency=Associated Press |date=23 September 2011 |access-date=23 September 2011 |archive-date=27 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727053454/http://news.yahoo.com/pakistan-condemns-us-comments-spy-agency-044440789.html%3B_ylt%3DA2KJ3vVYX3xOdRkA9EZXNyoA?rnd=005681253004174930714413 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;US-blames-Pakistan&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://news.yahoo.com/pakistan-isi-urged-attacks-u-targets-officials-002201562.html |title=U.S. blames Pakistan agency in Kabul attack |agency=Reuters |date=22 September 2011 |access-date=22 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925075845/http://news.yahoo.com/pakistan-isi-urged-attacks-u-targets-officials-002201562.html |archive-date=25 September 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As recent as October 2011, while Karzai was visiting India to sign an important strategic partnership agreement with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Afghan agents of the [[National Directorate of Security]] (NDS) arrested 6 people in Kabul for planning to assassinate Karzai.

* 5 September 2002: An assassination attempt was made on Karzai in the city of Kandahar. A gunman wearing the uniform of the new [[Afghan National Army]] opened fire, wounding [[Gul Agha Sherzai]] (former governor of Kandahar) and an American Special Operations officer. The gunman, one of the President&#039;s bodyguards, and a bystander who knocked down the gunman were killed when Karzai&#039;s American bodyguards returned fire. Some pictures of the [[United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group]] (DEVGRU) responding to the attempt have surfaced.&lt;br /&gt;
* 16 September 2004: An attempted assassination on Karzai took place when a rocket missed the [[helicopter]] he was flying in while en route to the city of [[Gardez]] in eastern Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;
* 10 June 2007: Taliban insurgents attempted to assassinate Karzai in [[Ghazni]] where he was giving a speech to elders. Insurgents fired approximately 12 rockets, some of which landed {{convert|200|m|yd}} away from the crowd. Karzai was not hurt in the incident and was transported away from the location after finishing his speech.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iht-2007-06-11&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|date=10 June 2007 |url=http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/11/asia/AS-GEN-Afghan-Violence.php |title=UN &#039;outraged&#039; after assassination attempt on Karzai |agency=Associated Press |access-date=11 December 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080208190934/http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/11/asia/AS-GEN-Afghan-Violence.php |archive-date=8 February 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;timesonline&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|date=11 June 2007|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article1913019.ece|title=Taleban fail in rocket attempt on Karzai&#039;s life|work=[[The Times]]|location=UK|access-date=11 December 2007|last=Tim Albone in Kabul|archive-date=13 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210813210119/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bbc_Karzai_unhurt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|date=10 June 2007|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6738201.stm|title=Karzai unhurt in Taleban attack|work=BBC News|access-date=1 May 2008|archive-date=19 August 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080819203904/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6738201.stm|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Views on Taliban==&lt;br /&gt;
In a 2013 interview with [[Al Jazeera]], Karzai called the Taliban his &#039;brothers&#039;. He claimed that the Afghan government and Afghan people did not want to eliminate the Taliban, but rather reintegrate the Taliban into society.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/karzai-on-taliban-im-still-calling-them-brothers/|title=Karzai on Taliban: &amp;quot;I&#039;m still calling them brothers&amp;quot;|access-date=3 April 2013|publisher=CBS News|archive-date=3 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403090732/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/karzai-on-taliban-im-still-calling-them-brothers/|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/pressoffice/2013/04/20134413140692692.html|title=Afghan President talks to Al Jazeera|access-date=3 April 2013|publisher=Al Jazeera|archive-date=21 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130421074717/http://www.aljazeera.com/pressoffice/2013/04/20134413140692692.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was not the first time he called the Taliban his brothers.

===Attack on Taliban training camp===&lt;br /&gt;
On 14 September 2015, provincial police chief Gen. Daud Ahmadi claimed that Hamid Karzai had stopped an attack on a Taliban training camp in [[Logar Province|Logar]] province of Afghanistan. The camp was used as a launching pad and a military operation was being planned to deal with the camp. However, Karzai stopped them from attacking the camp. Ahmadi further claimed there were around 200 militants who were being trained at the camp at that time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.khaama.com/karzai-had-ordered-not-to-attack-the-taliban-training-center-in-logar-1514/|title=Karzai had ordered not to attack the Taliban training center in Logar|access-date=14 September 2015|publisher=Khaama Press|archive-date=16 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150916030549/http://www.khaama.com/karzai-had-ordered-not-to-attack-the-taliban-training-center-in-logar-1514|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Post-presidency==&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[2017 Nangarhar airstrike]], Karzai condemned his successor, President [[Ashraf Ghani]], labeling him a traitor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |author=Mujib Mashal |date=15 April 2017 |title=Calling Successor a &#039;Traitor&#039;, Afghan Ex-Leader Denounces U.S. Bombing |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/world/asia/hamid-karzai-afghanistan-us-bombing.html |url-status=live |access-date= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170416061846/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/world/asia/hamid-karzai-afghanistan-us-bombing.html |archive-date=16 April 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the fall of the [[Islamic Republic of Afghanistan]] to the Taliban on 17 August 2021, the leader of the Taliban-affiliated [[Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin|Hezb-e-Islami]] party [[Gulbuddin Hekmatyar]] met with Karzai and [[Abdullah Abdullah]], chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation and former [[Chief Executive (Afghanistan)|chief executive]], in [[Doha]], seeking to form an interim government with the Taliban.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2021-08-16 |title=Afghanistan&#039;s Hekmatyar says heading for Doha with Karzai, Abdullah Abdullah to meet Taliban |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/afghanistans-hekmatyar-says-heading-doha-with-karzai-abdullah-abdullah-meet-2021-08-16/ |access-date= |website=[[Reuters]] |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Taliban met ex-Afghan leader Karzai, Abdullah Abdullah |url=https://www.brecorder.com/news/40114270 |agency=AFP|date=2021-08-18 |access-date=2021-08-18|website=Brecorder|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2022, Karzai condemned the [[Biden administration]]&#039;s decision to unfreeze $7 billion of [[Da Afghanistan Bank]]&#039;s [[Afghan frozen assets|assets]] and to divide the money between humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Karzai labelled the decision as an &amp;quot;atrocity&amp;quot; and, while saying that Afghans sympathized with the victims of 9/11, the money belonged to the Afghan people, who had also suffered from the attacks&#039; consequences.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Gul |first1=Ayaz |date=13 February 2022 |title=Karzai: US Money Seizure &#039;Atrocity&#039; Against Afghans |work=[[Voice of America]] |url=https://www.voanews.com/a/karzai-us-money-seizure-atrocity-against-afghans-/6439855.html |access-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Perelman |first1=Marc |date=15 February 2022 |title=Hamid Karzai criticises US move to divide Afghan assets between aid and 9/11 victims |work=[[France 24]] |url=https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/the-interview/20220215-ex-afghan-president-karzai-believes-taliban-will-allow-girls-back-to-school |access-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Karzai has been critical of the Taliban government&#039;s failure to fulfill promises regarding women&#039;s rights, and has asked the Taliban to reopen schools for girls. In an interview with [[CNN]], he has also decried the demand for women to wear a burqa and cover their faces.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |date=22 May 2022 |title=Ex-Afghan Prez Karzai decries Taliban&#039;s all-covering burqa decree |work=[[Asian News International]] |url=https://www.aninews.in/news/world/asia/ex-afghan-prez-karzai-decries-talibans-all-covering-burqa-decree20220522113959/ |access-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |date=26 April 2022 |title=Former Afghan president Karzai urges Taliban to reopen schools for girls |work=[[Business Standard]] |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/international/former-afghan-president-karzai-urges-taliban-to-reopen-schools-for-girls-122042600403_1.html |access-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In initial biographical news reporting, there was confusion regarding his clan lineage; it was written that his paternal lineage derived from the [[Sadduzai]] clan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.theglobalist.com/StoryId.aspx?StoryId=3528 Globalist Story] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510173236/http://www.theglobalist.com/StoryId.aspx?StoryId=3528 |date=10 May 2013 }}. 3 June 2004.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This confusion might have arisen from sources stating he was chosen as the [[tribal chief]] of the Popalzai.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/central/11/06/ret.attacks.karzai/ Taliban run-in highlights dangers for Afghan opposition leader] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825163310/http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/central/11/06/ret.attacks.karzai/ |date=25 August 2013 }}. 6 November 2001.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Traditionally, the Popalzai tribe has been led by members of the Sadozais.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TAC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tribalanalysiscenter.com/freePDF/Pashtun%20Cultural%20Factors%20Limiting%20Warlord%20Development.pdf Tribal Analysis Center Pashtun Tribal Analysis] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510205037/http://www.tribalanalysiscenter.com/freePDF/Pashtun%20Cultural%20Factors%20Limiting%20Warlord%20Development.pdf |date=10 May 2013 }}&amp;quot;The Durrani Popalzai tribe&#039;s Khan Khel, the Saddozai, failed to advance a competent family for leadership during the anti-Soviet period. Instead, they placed tribal leadership in the hands of Abdul Ahad Karzai, a member of a key family in the Shamizai subtribe. Following Abdul Ahad&#039;s assassination in 1999, his son, Hamid Karzai, inherited his father&#039;s mantle and can be expected to retain this tribal leadership position for the remainder of Afghanistan&#039;s conflict. Normally, the eldest son would have been selected to bear this tribal responsibility, but this son was living in the United States and was generally unavailable to serve as tribal leader.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The first King of Afghanistan, [[Ahmad Shah Durrani]], was the leader of the Sadozais, and the Sadozai lineage continued to rule Afghanistan until 1826 when the [[Barakzai]]s ascended to the throne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Karzai is believed to be from the Shamizai subtribe of the Popalzais.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TAC&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; His grandfather, Khair Muhammad Karzai, was a head of the Popalzai tribe from Kandahar who relocated to Kabul and ran the business of a guest house. This allowed Karzai&#039;s father Abdul Ahad, to gain a foothold in the royal family, and subsequently, the parliament. These actions and upwards movement within the Popalzai tribal system, led to the Karzai family furnishing a viable Shamizai clan alternative to Sadozai leadership in the aftermath of the Soviet invasion when the Sadozai clan failed to provide a tribal leader.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TAC&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.antiwar.com/orig/lohdi.php?articleid=12074 Bahlol Lodhi&#039;s bio of the Karzai family ascension] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209143901/http://www.antiwar.com/orig/lohdi.php?articleid=12074 |date=9 February 2010 }}. 19 December 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He is often seen wearing a [[Karakul (hat)|Karakul hat]], something that has been worn by many Afghan kings in the past.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|date=24 April 2002|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,51034,00.html|title=Hamid Karzai&#039;s Famous Hat Made From Aborted Lamb Fetuses|publisher=Fox News|access-date=1 May 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080501230853/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,51034,00.html|archive-date=1 May 2008|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=27 May 2007|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/bizfocus/archives/2007/05/27/2003362700/print|title=Karakuls burst upon the fashion world|work=[[Taipei Times]] |access-date=1 May 2008|archive-date=6 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106182750/http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/bizfocus/archives/2007/05/27/2003362700/print|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=12 December 2000 |url=http://www.infurmation.com/press_detail.php?id=99 |title=HSUS Investigation Reveals Slaughter of Unborn and Newborn Lambs for Fur |publisher=[[Humane Society]] |access-date=1 May 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060531022711/http://infurmation.com/press_detail.php?id=99 |archive-date=31 May 2006 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=December 2000 |url=http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsF02d.htm |title=Transcript of NBC &amp;quot;Dateline&amp;quot; Feature on Karakul Production |publisher=Fur Commission |access-date=1 May 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080510115715/http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsF02d.htm |archive-date=10 May 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Following the [[Fall of Kabul (2021)|Fall of Kabul]] in 2021, Karzai decided to remain in Kabul with his daughters and he appealed to the Taliban to respect his life and that of his family as well as the civilians in Afghanistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Former Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, With Daughters, Appeals To Taliban To Protect People |url=https://www.indiatimes.com/news/world/former-afghanistan-president-hamid-karzai-with-daughters-appeals-to-taliban-to-protect-people-547334.html |access-date=16 August 2021 |work=[[Indiatimes]] |date=16 August 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While he met with Hekmatyar to discuss the formation of a future Afghan government, it is unclear whether Karzai will serve any role in such.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009, Karzai antagonized the women&#039;s movement and NATO leaders by signing a draconian [[Shia Personal Status Law]] seen as legalizing [[marital rape]] within Afghanistan&#039;s minority [[Shia Islam|Shia Muslim]] community.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Armstrong, Sally.

===Corruption===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Corruption in Afghanistan}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to &#039;&#039;The New York Times&#039;&#039;, many members of the Karzai family have mixed their personal interests with that of the state, and become hugely influential and wealthy by murky means.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Risen |first=James |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/world/asia/06karzai.html |title=Karzai&#039;s Kin Use Ties to Gain Power in Afghanistan |location=Afghanistan |work=The New York Times |date=5 October 2010 |access-date=30 August 2011 |archive-date=27 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027022925/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/world/asia/06karzai.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2012 Afghanistan was tied with Somalia and North Korea at the bottom of [[Transparency International]]&#039;s [[Corruption Perception Index]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012 |title=Transparency International&#039;s Corruption Perception Index 2012 |publisher=Transparency.org |access-date=22 March 2014 |archive-date=20 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140320044835/http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and it ranked 172/175 in 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.transparency.org/country#AFG |title=2014 Corruption Perception Index |access-date=23 March 2015 |archive-date=24 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190524182350/https://www.transparency.org/country#AFG |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mahmoud Karzai]], the brother of President Karzai, was implicated in the 2010 [[Kabul Bank]] crisis. Mahmud Karzai was the 3rd largest shareholder in the bank with a 7% stake. Kabul Bank incurred huge losses on its investments in villas in [[Palm Jumeirah]] in [[Dubai]]. The real estate investments were registered in the name of Kabul Bank chairman, Sherkhan Farnood. Mahmud Karzai bought one such villa from Farnood for 7 million [[dirham]]s using money borrowed from Kabul Bank and in a matter of months sold it for 10.4 million dirhams.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wp-kabul-bank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/07/AR2010090706645.html|title=Karzai&#039;s brother financed Dubai property purchases through embattled Kabul Bank|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=8 September 2010|access-date=22 June 2012|first=Andrew|last=Higgins|archive-date=30 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730225239/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/07/AR2010090706645.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Mahmud Karzai&#039;s purchase of the 7% stake in Kabul Bank was also financed entirely through money lent by Kabul Bank with the shares as collateral.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wp-kabul-bank&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Karzai has admitted that there is widespread corruption in Afghanistan, but has blamed the problem largely on the way contracts are awarded by the international community, and said that the &amp;quot;perception of corruption&amp;quot; is a deliberate attempt to weaken the Afghan government.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Abawi |first=Atia |url=http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/06/15717342-exclusive-us-nato-behind-insecurity-in-afghanistan-karzai-says |title=EXCLUSIVE: US, NATO behind &#039;insecurity&#039; in Afghanistan, Karzai says – World News |publisher=Worldnews.nbcnews.com |date=6 December 2012 |access-date=22 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140322044217/http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/06/15717342-exclusive-us-nato-behind-insecurity-in-afghanistan-karzai-says |archive-date=22 March 2014 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{sfn|Partlow|2016|page=203}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unocal connection===&lt;br /&gt;
There has been much debate over Karzai&#039;s alleged consultant work with [[Unocal]] (Union Oil Company of California since acquired by [[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]] in 2005). In 2002, when Karzai became the subject of heavy media coverage as one of the front runners to lead Afghanistan, it was reported that he was a former consultant for them.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;csmonitor&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=10 June 2002|url = http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0610/p01s03e-wosc.html|title = Afghan power brokers |work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]]| access-date =11 December 2007|author1=Ilene R.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Communication with Taliban===&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2013, Karzai&#039;s administration and the Afghan Intelligence agency were found to be communicating with the Pakistani Taliban about the shifting of power that was expected to occur if the U.S. forces withdrew in 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |author=Web Desk |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/624306/us-catches-afghan-govt-red-handed-in-plotting-with-pakistani-taliban-report/ |title=US catches Afghan govt &#039;red handed&#039; in plotting with Pakistani Taliban: Report |newspaper=The Express Tribune |date=29 October 2013 |access-date=22 March 2014 |archive-date=22 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222040323/http://tribune.com.pk/story/624306/us-catches-afghan-govt-red-handed-in-plotting-with-pakistani-taliban-report/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Karzai himself was in London at the time of the discovery, to participate in talks with Pakistan and the U.S. on the possible location of Taliban leader Mullah Baradar. At the time, it was unknown if Karzai was directly involved or even knew of such communications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2021, Karzai spoke with German newspaper &#039;&#039;[[Der Spiegel]]&#039;&#039;, where he expressed his sympathy with the Taliban, criticized the role of the United States in Afghanistan and praised the role of the [[European Union]], at the same time, saying that the future of Afghanistan relies heavily on neighbor Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Koelbl |first1=Susanne |title=&amp;quot;We Afghans Are Just Being Used Against Each Other&amp;quot; |url=https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/former-afghanistan-president-hamid-karzai-we-afghans-are-just-being-used-against-each-other-a-81412b96-c7e5-4287-b423-fbc2b600f317 |access-date=5 June 2021 |work=[[Der Spiegel]] |date=22 May 2021 |archive-date=2 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602122101/https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/former-afghanistan-president-hamid-karzai-we-afghans-are-just-being-used-against-each-other-a-81412b96-c7e5-4287-b423-fbc2b600f317 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also considered the Taliban &amp;quot;victims of foreign forces&amp;quot; and said that Afghans were being used to be &amp;quot;each against the other&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Why Hamid Karzai considers Taliban as his &#039;brothers&#039; |url=https://www.globalvillagespace.com/why-hamid-karzai-considers-taliban-as-his-brothers/ |access-date=5 June 2021 |agency=Global Village Space |date=24 May 2021 |archive-date=5 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605122038/https://www.globalvillagespace.com/why-hamid-karzai-considers-taliban-as-his-brothers/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In November 2021, he told [[Yalda Hakim]] of &#039;&#039;[[BBC News]]&#039;&#039; that he considered the Taliban as &amp;quot;brothers&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|title=Ex-Afghan president: The Taliban are my brothers|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-59505688|access-date=2021-12-02}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===View on ISIS in Afghanistan===&lt;br /&gt;
Karzai, during an interview with Voice of America, claimed that [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province|ISIS]] in Afghanistan is a tool for the United States. He further claimed that he does not differentiate at all between ISIS and the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite magazine|url=https://www.newsweek.com/hamid-karzai-us-afghanistan-isis-taliban-russia-587031|title=War in Afghanistan: Former President Hamid Karzai Claim There Is No Difference Between ISIS And America|access-date=20 April 2017|magazine=[[Newsweek]]|author=Mirren Gidda|archive-date=21 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170421105418/http://www.newsweek.com/hamid-karzai-us-afghanistan-isis-taliban-russia-587031|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During an interview with Fox News, Karzai claimed that ISIS in Afghanistan is a product of the United States. He claimed that he routinely received reports regarding unmarked helicopters dropping supplies to support the terror faction. He asked for an explanation from the United States regarding the unmarked helicopter flights. He also claimed that the United States had made Afghanistan a testing ground for its weapons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-aids-isis-says-afghanistans-former-president|title=US aids ISIS, says Afghanistan&#039;s former president|access-date=4 May 2017|publisher=Fox News|author=Hollie Mckay|archive-date=4 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190104072828/https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-aids-isis-says-afghanistans-former-president|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Later on during an interview with Al Jazeera, Karzai again criticized the United States. He accused the United States of working with ISIS in Afghanistan. Moreover, he said that the United States government had allowed ISIS to flourish in Afghanistan and that it had used ISIS as an excuse to drop the [[GBU-43]] (Mother of all Bombs) in Afghanistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/hamid-karzai-colluded-isil-afghanistan-171110191715544.html|title=Hamid Karzai: US colluded with ISIL in Afghanistan|access-date=11 November 2017|publisher=Al Jazeera|archive-date=17 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317035713/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/hamid-karzai-colluded-isil-afghanistan-171110191715544.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2017/nov/11/us-colluded-with-is-in-afghanistan-former-president-hamid-karzai-1698707.html|title=US colluded with IS in Afghanistan: Former president Hamid Karzai|access-date=11 November 2017|newspaper=New Indian Express|archive-date=4 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190104021550/http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2017/nov/11/us-colluded-with-is-in-afghanistan-former-president-hamid-karzai-1698707.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Karzai also accused Pakistan of supporting ISIS during an interview with [[Asian News International|ANI]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=No doubt on Pakistan&#039;s role in supporting ISIS: Hamid Karzai - ANI News|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVM1FHzamSg&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be|access-date=2020-08-28|website=YouTube|archive-date=1 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201074742/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVM1FHzamSg&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Gujral became vice-president of the [[New Delhi Municipal Committee]] in 1958,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=NMDC History |url=http://www.ndmc.gov.in/AboutNdmc/History.aspx |publisher=NMDC |access-date=10 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121215025220/http://www.ndmc.gov.in/AboutNdmc/History.aspx |archive-date=15 December 2012 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and joined the Congress party ([[Indian National Congress|INC]]) in 1964.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;et&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He was close to [[Indira Gandhi]], and became a member of the [[Rajya Sabha]] in April 1964.

He again was selected to the Rajya Sabha to serve until 1976. He also served as Water Resources Minister. Later, Gujral was appointed [[Ambassador of India to the Soviet Union]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pioneer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; by Indira Gandhi and stayed on during the tenures of [[Morarji Desai]] and [[Charan Singh]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dna&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He was rumoured to have been shunted out of the ministry due to conflicts with the prime minister&#039;s son, [[Sanjay Gandhi]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hindu&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=zeenews&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Former PM IK Gujral cremated with full state honours|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/former-pm-ik-gujral-to-be-given-state-funeral-today_813934.html|access-date=1 December 2012|newspaper=Zee News|date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; over media censorship,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;et&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; and was replaced by [[Vidya Charan Shukla]], who had no qualms following party lines on the matter; he was then moved to the Planning Ministry.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dna&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Subsequent to the [[1996 Indian general election|1996 election]], when the [[United Front (India)|United Front]] government was formed under the premiership of [[H. D. Deve Gowda]], Gujral was again named Minister of External Affairs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hindu&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=punjabnews/&amp;gt; During this tenure, he developed the &#039;[[Gujral Doctrine]]&#039; which emphasised better relations with India&#039;s neighbours and was refined when he became prime minister.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dna&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He also served as Union Minister or Minister of State of several other portfolios—Communications and Parliamentary Affairs, Information and Broadcasting, Works and Housing and Planning.&amp;lt;ref name=dailybhaskar&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=RIP IK Gujral: A look at the man who gave India &#039;Gujral doctrine&#039;|url=http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/NAT-TOP-rip-ik-gujral-a-look-at-the-man-who-gave-india-gujral-doctrine-4094844-NOR.html|access-date=1 December 2012|newspaper=Daily Bhaskar|date=30 November 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Indian National Congress]] party had been supporting the United Front government from outside, but citing its wish to have the incumbent prime minister replaced, decided to withdraw support;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;et&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/inder-kumar-gujral-dead-but-his-doctrine-still-relevant/articleshow/17433487.cms |title=Inder Kumar Gujral dead, but his doctrine still relevant – The Economic Times |work=The Economic Times |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; this led to the government&#039;s collapse in April 1997. To avoid mid-term elections, a compromise was reached: the INC agreed to support another United Front government under a new leader, provided its concerns—such as not being consulted before taking important decisions and being marginalised—were addressed. The United Front elected Gujral as its new leader, and he was sworn in as Prime Minister on 21 April 1997.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prime Minister (1997–1998)==&lt;br /&gt;
Gujral became prime minister as the consensus candidate between others that included [[Lalu Prasad Yadav]], [[Mulayam Singh Yadav]];&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dp&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |author=Former PM IK Gujral passes away |url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/home/online-channel/360-todays-newspaper/112347-former-pm-ik-gujral-passes-away.html |title=Former PM IK Gujral passes away|work=Daily Pioneer|date=28 August 2011|access-date=1 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; his government was supported by the INC from outside. In the early weeks of his tenure, the [[Central Bureau of Investigation]] asked for permission from the [[Governor of Bihar]], [[A. R.

Though INC chairperson [[Sitaram Kesri]] offered minor calls for Yadav&#039;s resignation, Yadav then offered Gujral support to run from any Lok Sabha constituency in Bihar to get his support. Gujral, however, was silent on the matter,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/dec/19guj.htm |title=Gujral caught in JD-RJD crossfire |publisher=Rediff |date=19 December 1997 |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but later controversially transferred the CBI director Joginder Singh, who was investigating the case against Yadav, and replaced him with R.

Another controversial decision of his government was its recommendation of [[President&#039;s rule]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]] in 1997. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) Uttar Pradesh government, headed by [[Kalyan Singh]], sought a vote of confidence after violence and unruly scenes took place in the assembly. However, President [[K.R.

The DMK was part of the ruling coalition at the center and had ministers in the Union Cabinet. The Congress first demanded the tabling of the report on the floor of the parliament, which was refused by Gujral, who feared a battle between the DMK and the [[Tamil Maanila Congress]] would lead to the DMK&#039;s withdrawal from the government.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/aug/30jain.htm |title=Jain Commission report may upset UF applecart |publisher=Rediff |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Gujral later formed a Joint Parliamentary Committee to study the report after informing Sitaram Keshri of the decision, to which Keshri acceded. INC parliamentary party leader [[Sharad Pawar]] said they would call for the resignation of anyone implicated in the report. Gujral convened the government to inform them of the updates and said it supported the DMK. The DMK&#039;s Industry Minister [[Murasoli Maran]] said: &amp;quot;We are part of the United Front. We will stand and fall together. I am hundred per cent confident of that. If it were so easy to break the United Front, then it will be called the disunited front. No one is going to ditch their colleagues for a few loaves of power. We have no reason to quit at all. The report is full of recycled news. There is nothing startling about it, everybody already knows what the report is saying. A Madras court is expected to give its verdict on a criminal case on the assassination on January 28. Let us wait till then to know who was involved in the dastardly act.

As a Prime minister, Gujral had a practice of reserving Friday mornings for meeting the general public.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Rediff On The NeT: Gujral shakes a weary head: Distressing, most distressing... |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/jul/18gujral.htm |access-date=2022-05-03 |website=www.rediff.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Gujral Doctrine==&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujral Doctrine is a set of five principles to guide the conduct of foreign relations with India&#039;s [[SAARC|immediate neighbours]], notably [[Pakistan]], as spelt out by Gujral.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pioneer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The doctrine was later termed as such by journalist Bhabani Sen Gupta in his article, &#039;&#039;India in the Twenty First Century&#039;&#039; in [[International Affairs (journal)|International Affairs]]. These principles are, as he set out at [[Chatham House]] in September 1996 (which he later reiterated at the [[Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies]]):&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://idsa.in/askanexpert/GujralDoctrine%3F |title=Anil Kumar Reddy asked: What is Gujral Doctrine |publisher=IDSA |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote box&lt;br /&gt;
| quote = The United Front Government&#039;s neighbourhood policy now stands on five basic principles: First, with the neighbours like Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka, India does not ask for reciprocity but gives all that it can in good faith and trust. Secondly, no South Asian country will allow its territory to be used against the interest of another country of the region. Thirdly, none will interfere in the internal affairs of another. Fourthly, all South Asian countries must respect each other&#039;s territorial integrity and sovereignty. And finally, they will settle all their disputes through peaceful bilateral negotiations. These five principles, scrupulously observed, will, I am sure, recast South Asia&#039;s regional relationship, including the tormented relationship between India and Pakistan, in a friendly, cooperative mould.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He wrote in his autobiography of the doctrine: &amp;quot;The logic behind the Gujral Doctrine was that since we had to face two hostile neighbours in the north and the west, we had to be at &#039;total peace&#039; with all other immediate neighbours in order to contain Pakistan&#039;s and China&#039;s influence in the region.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dna&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_gujral-the-man-behind-the-raw-doctrine-that-set-india-behind_1771985 |title=Gujral, the man behind the raw doctrine that set India behind – India – DNA |date=December 2012 |publisher=Dnaindia.com |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following a series of attacks throughout the 2000s, said by the Indian media and government to have originated from and been planned in Pakistan, culminating with the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]], the Gujral Doctrine was criticised by the Indian media. Following the attack, &#039;&#039;[[India Today]]&#039;&#039; said that targeted, covert strikes against Pakistani organisations such as [[Lashkar-e-Taiba]] were a &amp;quot;capability that I.K. Gujral dismantled as prime minister over a decade ago will take over a year to rebuild.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=indiatoday08&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=India&amp;quot;s Al Qaeda |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/India%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2s%20Al%20Qaeda/3/22426.html |access-date=1 December 2012 |newspaper=India Today |date=22 December 2008 |author=Sandeep Unnithan |author2=Ramesh Vinayak}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The major setback of the Gujral Doctrine is said to be the debilitating impact it had on the R&amp;amp;AW&#039;s ([[Research and Analysis Wing]]) ability to conduct operations in [[Pakistan]]. On his orders Pakistan&#039;s special operations desk of R&amp;amp;AW was shut down leading to major gaps in India&#039;s intelligence capabilities. Analysts have time and again blamed this as the foremost factor for India&#039;s &amp;quot;intelligence failure&amp;quot; before the [[Kargil War]] commenced. It is said that this was because of Gujral&#039;s negligence towards such repercussions and his urge to leave an imprint on Indo-Pak relations that he did this.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Gujral, the man behind the raw doctrine that set India behind |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-gujral-the-man-behind-the-raw-doctrine-that-set-india-behind-1771985 |agency=DNA India |date=May 14, 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, it was also praised in the media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/oct/30diplo1.htm |title=B G Verghese says the Gujral doctrine is the only thing that will work in India&#039;s relations with its neighbours |work=Rediff.com |access-date=2 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;thehindu1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |author=Vidya Subrahmaniam |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/ik-gujral-author-of-key-foreign-policy-doctrine-dies-at-92/article4152559.ece |title=Today&#039;s Paper News : I.K.

The snap [[1998 Indian general election|election was held in February–March 1998]]. Gujral contested again from Jalandhar as Janata Dal candidate with the support of the Shiromani Akali Dal. The Akali Dal, though a part of BJP-led coalition, opted to support Gujral because during his Prime Ministerial tenure, Gujral declared that the central government will share the expenses against the [[insurgency in Punjab]] during the 1980s and early 1990s, along with the state government of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pioneer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Dementia&#039;&#039;&#039; is the general name for a decline in cognitive abilities that impacts a person&#039;s ability to do [[activities of daily living|everyday activities]].

Diagnosis is usually based on [[Medical history|history of the illness]] and [[cognitive testing]] with [[Neuroimaging|imaging]]. [[Blood test]]s may be taken to rule out other possible causes that may be reversible, such as [[hypothyroidism]] (an underactive thyroid), and to determine the dementia subtype.

Dementia symptoms can vary widely from person to person. It affects memory, attention span, communication, reasoning, judgement, problem solving and visual perception, etc. Signs that may point to dementia include getting lost in a familiar neighborhood, using unusual words to refer to familiar objects, forgetting the name of a close family member or friend, forgetting old memories, not being able to complete tasks independently, etc.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2019-12-19 |title=What Is Dementia? {{!}} CDC |url=https://www.cdc.gov/aging/dementia/index.html |access-date=2022-10-03 |website=www.cdc.gov |language=en-us}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Stages ==&lt;br /&gt;
The course of dementia is often described in four stages that show a pattern of progressive cognitive and functional impairment. However, the use of numeric scales allows for more detailed descriptions. These scales include the Global Deterioration Scale for Assessment of Primary Degenerative Dementia (GDS or Reisberg Scale), the Functional Assessment Staging Test (FAST), and the [[Clinical Dementia Rating]] (CDR).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sheehan&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Using the GDS, which more accurately identifies each stage of the disease progression, a more detailed course is described in seven stages – two of which are broken down further into five and six degrees. Stage 7(f) is the final stage.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DCC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Seven Stages of Dementia {{!}} Symptoms, Progression &amp;amp; Durations |url=https://www.dementiacarecentral.com/aboutdementia/facts/stages/ |access-date=19 December 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ALZ&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Clinical Stages of Alzheimer&#039;s |url=https://www.alzinfo.org/understand-alzheimers/clinical-stages-of-alzheimers/ |website=Fisher Center for Alzheimer&#039;s Research Foundation |access-date=19 December 2020 |date=29 January 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pre-dementia===&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-dementia states include pre-clinical and prodromal stages.

Mild cognitive impairment has been relisted in both [[DSM-5]], and [[ICD-11]], as mild neurocognitive disorders – milder forms of the major neurocognitive disorder (dementia) subtypes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DSM5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book | author = American Psychiatric Association |url=https://archive.org/details/diagnosticstatis0005unse/page/591|title=Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders : DSM-5|date=2013|publisher=American Psychiatric Association|isbn=978-0-89042-554-1|edition=5th|location=Washington, DC|pages=[https://archive.org/details/diagnosticstatis0005unse/page/591 591–603]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the early stage of dementia, symptoms become noticeable to other people. In addition, the symptoms begin to interfere with daily activities, and will register a score on a [[Mini-Mental State Examination]] (MMSE). MMSE scores are set at 24 to 30 for a normal cognitive rating and lower scores reflect severity of symptoms. The symptoms are dependent on the type of dementia. More complicated chores and tasks around the house or at work become more difficult. The person can usually still take care of themselves but may forget things like taking pills or doing laundry and may need prompting or reminders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|title=Dementia care at a glance| vauthors = Jenkins C, Ginesi L, Keenan B |isbn=978-1-118-85998-8|location=Chichester, West Sussex|oclc=905089525|year = 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symptoms of early dementia usually include memory difficulty, but can also include some [[anomic aphasia|word-finding problems]], and problems with [[executive functions]] of planning and organization.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |author5-link=Martin Rossor | vauthors = Rohrer JD, Knight WD, Warren JE, Fox NC, Rossor MN, Warren JD | title = Word-finding difficulty: a clinical analysis of the progressive aphasias | journal = Brain | volume = 131 | issue = Pt 1 | pages = 8–38 | date = January 2008 | pmid = 17947337 | pmc = 2373641 | doi = 10.1093/brain/awm251 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Managing finances may prove difficult.

&lt;br /&gt;
In some types of dementia, such as dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia, personality changes and difficulty with organization and planning may be the first signs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | title = Diagnosing Lewy Body Dementia | publisher = National Institute on Aging | url = https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/diagnosing-lewy-body-dementia | access-date = 10 May 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Middle ===&lt;br /&gt;
As dementia progresses, initial symptoms generally worsen. The rate of decline is different for each person. MMSE scores between 6–17 signal moderate dementia. For example, people with moderate Alzheimer&#039;s dementia lose almost all new information. People with dementia may be severely impaired in solving problems, and their social judgment is usually also impaired. They cannot usually function outside their own home, and generally should not be left alone. They may be able to do simple chores around the house but not much else, and begin to require assistance for personal care and hygiene beyond simple reminders.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; A [[anosognosia|lack of insight]] into having the condition will become evident.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wilson&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Wilson RS, Sytsma J, Barnes LL, Boyle PA |title=Anosognosia in Dementia |journal=Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports |volume=16 |issue=9 |pages=77 |date=September 2016 |pmid=27438597 |doi=10.1007/s11910-016-0684-z|s2cid=3331009 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CNN&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Sunderaraman P, Cosentino S |title=Integrating the Constructs of Anosognosia and Metacognition: a Review of Recent Findings in Dementia |journal=Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports |volume=17 |issue=3 |page=27 |date=March 2017 |pmid=28283961 |doi=10.1007/s11910-017-0734-1|pmc=5650061 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Late ===&lt;br /&gt;
People with late-stage dementia typically turn increasingly inward and need assistance with most or all of their personal care. Persons with dementia in the late stages usually need 24-hour supervision to ensure their personal safety, and meeting of basic needs. If left unsupervised, they may [[Wandering (dementia)|wander]] or fall; may not recognize common dangers such as a hot stove; or may not realize that they need to use the bathroom and become [[Urinary incontinence|incontinent]].&amp;lt;ref name=hugo/&amp;gt; They may not want to get out of bed, or may need assistance doing so. Commonly, the person no longer recognizes familiar faces. They may have significant changes in sleeping habits or have trouble sleeping at all.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Changes in eating frequently occur. Cognitive awareness is needed for eating and swallowing and progressive cognitive decline results in eating and [[dysphagia|swallowing difficulties]]. This can cause food to be refused, or choked on, and help with feeding will often be required.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Payne&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Payne M, Morley JE | title = Editorial: Dysphagia, Dementia and Frailty | journal = The Journal of Nutrition, Health &amp;amp; Aging | volume = 22 | issue = 5 | pages = 562–565 | date = 1 May 2018 | pmid = 29717753 | doi = 10.1007/s12603-018-1033-5 | s2cid = 13753522 | doi-access = free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For ease of feeding, food may be liquidized into a thick purée.

=== Alzheimer&#039;s disease ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Alzheimer&#039;s disease}}[[File:Alzheimers brain.jpg|thumb|Brain [[atrophy]] in severe Alzheimer&#039;s]] Alzheimer&#039;s disease accounts for 60–70% of cases of dementia worldwide. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer&#039;s disease are [[Short-term memory|short-term memory loss]] and [[Anomic aphasia|word-finding difficulties]]. Trouble with [[visuospatial function]]ing (getting lost often), reasoning, judgment and [[insight]] fail. Insight refers to whether or not the person realizes they have memory problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The part of the brain most affected by Alzheimer&#039;s is the [[hippocampus]]. Other parts that show [[atrophy]] (shrinking) include the [[Temporal lobe|temporal]] and [[parietal lobe]]s. Although this pattern of brain shrinkage suggests Alzheimer&#039;s, it is variable and a brain scan is insufficient for a diagnosis. The relationship between general [[anesthesia]] and Alzheimer&#039;s in [[elderly people]] is unclear.{{Clarify|date=March 2022|reason=why?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Little is known about the events that occur during and that actually cause Alzheimer&#039;s disease. This is due to the fact that brain tissue from patients with the disease can only be studied after the person&#039;s death. However, it is known that one of the first aspects of the disease is a dysfunction in the gene that produces [[amyloid]]. Extracellular senile plaques (SPs), consisting of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) that are formed by hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, are two well-established pathological hallmarks of AD.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Abyadeh M, Gupta V, Chitranshi N, Gupta V, Wu Y, Saks D, Wander Wall R, Fitzhenry MJ, Basavarajappa D, You Y, Salekdeh GH, Haynes PA, Graham SL, Mirzaei M | display-authors = 6 | title = Mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer&#039;s disease – a proteomics perspective | journal = Expert Review of Proteomics | volume = 18 | issue = 4 | pages = 295–304 | date = April 2021 | pmid = 33874826 | doi = 10.1080/14789450.2021.1918550 | s2cid = 233310698 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Amyloid causes [[inflammation]] around the [[Amyloid plaques|senile plaques of the brain]], and too much build up of this inflammation leads to changes in the brain that cannot be controlled, leading to the symptoms of Alzheimer&#039;s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:22&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Wenk GL | title = Neuropathologic changes in Alzheimer&#039;s disease | journal = The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry | volume = 64 | issue = Suppl 9 | pages = 7–10 | date = 2003 | pmid = 12934968 | url = http://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/article/pages/2003/v64s09/v64s0902.aspx }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The first has major symptoms in personality and behavior. This is called [[Frontotemporal dementia#Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia|behavioral variant FTD]] (bv-FTD) and is the most common. The hallmark feature of bv-FTD is [[Impulsivity|impulsive behavior]], and this can be detected in pre-dementia states.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bateman&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In bv-FTD, the person shows a change in personal hygiene, becomes rigid in their thinking, and rarely acknowledges problems; they are socially withdrawn, and often have a drastic increase in appetite. They may become socially inappropriate. For example, they may make inappropriate sexual comments, or may begin using pornography openly. One of the most common signs is [[apathy]], or not caring about anything. Apathy, however, is a common symptom in many dementias.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two types of FTD feature [[aphasia]] (language problems) as the main symptom. One type is called semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (SV-PPA). The main feature of this is the loss of the meaning of words. It may begin with difficulty naming things. The person eventually may lose the meaning of objects as well. For example, a drawing of a bird, dog, and an airplane in someone with FTD may all appear almost the same.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In a classic test for this, a patient is shown a picture of a pyramid and below it a picture of both a palm tree and a pine tree. The person is asked to say which one goes best with the pyramid. In SV-PPA the person cannot answer that question. The other type is called non-fluent agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia (NFA-PPA). This is mainly a problem with producing speech. They have trouble finding the right words, but mostly they have a difficulty coordinating the muscles they need to speak. Eventually, someone with NFA-PPA only uses one-syllable words or may become totally mute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A frontotemporal dementia associated with [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] (ALS) known as (FTD-ALS) includes the symptoms of FTD (behavior, language and movement problems) co-occurring with [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] (loss of motor neurons). Two FTD-related disorders are [[progressive supranuclear palsy]] (also classed as a Parkinson-plus syndrome),&amp;lt;ref name=PS&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Fact Sheet {{!}} National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke|url=https://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/patient-caregiver-education/fact-sheets/progressive-supranuclear-palsy-fact-sheet#:~:text=Progressive%20supranuclear%20palsy%20(PSP)%20is,nerve%20cells%20in%20the%20brain.|access-date=2021-01-20|website=www.ninds.nih.gov}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=Acta2&amp;gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Lopez G, Bayulkem K, Hallett M |title=Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP): Richardson syndrome and other PSP variants |journal=Acta Neurol Scand |volume=134 |issue=4 |pages=242–9 |date=October 2016 |pmid=27070344 |pmc=7292631 |doi=10.1111/ane.12546 |url=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[corticobasal degeneration]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; These disorders are tau-associated.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Huntington&#039;s disease ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Huntington&#039;s disease]] is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in a single gene &#039;&#039;HTT&#039;&#039;, that encodes for [[huntingtin]] protein.

&lt;br /&gt;
The first main symptoms of Huntington&#039;s disease often include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* difficulty concentrating&lt;br /&gt;
* memory lapses&lt;br /&gt;
* depression - this can include low mood, lack of interest in things, or just abnormal feelings of hopelessness&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[HIV-associated dementia]] results as a late stage from [[HIV/AIDS|HIV infection]], and mostly affects younger people.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;MSD2019&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The essential features of HIV-associated dementia are disabling cognitive impairment accompanied by motor dysfunction, speech problems and behavioral change.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;MSD2019&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=HIV-Associated Dementia – Neurologic Disorders |url=https://www.msdmanuals.com/professional/neurologic-disorders/delirium-and-dementia/hiv-associated-dementia |website=MSD Manual Professional Edition |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Cognitive impairment is characterised by mental slowness, trouble with [[memory]] and poor [[concentration]]. Motor symptoms include a loss of fine motor control leading to clumsiness, poor balance and tremors. Behavioral changes may include [[apathy]], [[lethargy]] and diminished emotional responses and spontaneity. [[histopathology|Histopathologically]], it is identified by the infiltration of [[monocyte]]s and [[macrophage]]s into the [[central nervous system]] (CNS), [[gliosis]], pallor of [[myelin sheath]]s, abnormalities of [[dendritic cell|dendritic]] processes and [[neuron]]al loss.&amp;lt;ref name=Gray&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Gray F, Adle-Biassette H, Chretien F, Lorin de la Grandmaison G, Force G, Keohane C | title = Neuropathology and neurodegeneration in human immunodeficiency virus infection.

=== Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease]] is a rapidly progressive [[prion disease]] that typically causes dementia that worsens over weeks to months.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Alcoholism ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Alcohol-related dementia}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alcohol-related dementia]], also called alcohol-related brain damage, occurs as a result of excessive use of alcohol particularly as a substance abuse disorder. Different factors can be involved in this development including [[thiamine deficiency]] and age vulnerability.&amp;lt;ref name=Ridley&amp;gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Ridley NJ, Draper B, Withall A |title=Alcohol-related dementia: an update of the evidence |journal=Alzheimers Res Ther |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=3 |date=2013 |pmid=23347747 |pmc=3580328 |doi=10.1186/alzrt157 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=Nunes&amp;gt;{{cite book |vauthors=Nunes PT, Kipp BT, Reitz NL, Savage LM |title=Late Aging Associated Changes in Alcohol Sensitivity, Neurobehavioral Function, and Neuroinflammation |chapter=Aging with alcohol-related brain damage: Critical brain circuits associated with cognitive dysfunction |series=International Review of Neurobiology |volume=148 |pages=101–168 |date=2019 |pmid=31733663 |pmc=7372724 |doi=10.1016/bs.irn.2019.09.002 |isbn=9780128175309 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A degree of brain damage is seen in more than 70% of those with [[alcohol use disorder]]. Brain regions affected are similar to those that are affected by aging, and also by Alzheimer&#039;s disease. Regions showing loss of volume include the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, as well as the cerebellum, thalamus, and hippocampus.&amp;lt;ref name=Nunes/&amp;gt; This loss can be more notable, with greater cognitive impairments seen in those aged 65 years and older.&amp;lt;ref name=Nunes/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mixed dementia ===&lt;br /&gt;
More than one type of dementia, known as mixed dementia, may exist together in about 10% of dementia cases.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;WHO2022&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The most common type of mixed dementia is Alzheimer&#039;s disease and vascular dementia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=What is mixed dementia?|url=https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/blog/what-is-mixed-dementia|access-date=2020-12-13|website=Alzheimer&#039;s Society|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This particular type of mixed dementia&#039;s main onsets are a mixture of old age, high blood pressure, and damage to blood vessels in the brain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DementiaUK&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diagnosis of mixed dementia can be difficult, as often only one type will predominate. This makes the treatment of people with mixed dementia uncommon, with many people missing out on potentially helpful treatments. Mixed dementia can mean that symptoms onset earlier, and worsen more quickly since more parts of the brain will be affected.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DementiaUK&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Other ===&lt;br /&gt;
Chronic [[inflammatory condition]]s that may affect the brain and cognition include [[Behçet&#039;s disease]], [[multiple sclerosis]], [[sarcoidosis]], [[Sjögren&#039;s syndrome]], [[lupus]], [[celiac disease]], and [[non-celiac gluten sensitivity]].&amp;lt;ref name=Schofield2005&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Schofield P | title = Dementia associated with toxic causes and autoimmune disease | journal = International Psychogeriatrics | volume = 17 | issue = Suppl 1 | pages = S129–47 | year = 2005 | pmid = 16240488 | doi = 10.1017/s1041610205001997 | hdl = 1959.13/24647 | s2cid = 11864913 | type = Review | hdl-access = free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=RosenbloomSmith2009&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Rosenbloom MH, Smith S, Akdal G, Geschwind MD | title = Immunologically mediated dementias | journal = Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports | volume = 9 | issue = 5 | pages = 359–67 | date = September 2009 | pmid = 19664365 | pmc = 2832614 | doi = 10.1007/s11910-009-0053-2 | type = Review }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These types of dementias can rapidly progress, but usually have a good response to early treatment.

Cases of easily reversible dementia include [[hypothyroidism]], [[vitamin B12 deficiency|vitamin B&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;12&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; deficiency]], [[Lyme disease]], and [[neurosyphilis]]. For Lyme disease and neurosyphilis, testing should be done if risk factors are present. Because risk factors are often difficult to determine, testing for neurosyphilis and Lyme disease, as well as other mentioned factors, may be undertaken as a matter of course where dementia is suspected.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|31–32}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many other medical and neurological conditions include dementia only late in the illness. For example, a proportion of patients with [[Parkinson&#039;s disease]] develop dementia, though widely varying figures are quoted for this proportion.&amp;lt;ref name=AarslandKurz2010&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Aarsland D, Kurz MW | title = The epidemiology of dementia associated with Parkinson disease | journal = Journal of the Neurological Sciences | volume = 289 | issue = 1–2 | pages = 18–22 | date = February 2010 | pmid = 19733364 | doi = 10.1016/j.jns.2009.08.034 | type = Review | s2cid = 24541533 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When dementia occurs in Parkinson&#039;s disease, the underlying cause may be [[dementia with Lewy bodies]] or [[Alzheimer&#039;s disease]], or both.&amp;lt;ref name=pmid17101891&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Galvin JE, Pollack J, Morris JC | title = Clinical phenotype of Parkinson disease dementia | journal = Neurology | volume = 67 | issue = 9 | pages = 1605–1611 | date = November 2006 | pmid = 17101891 | doi = 10.1212/01.wnl.0000242630.52203.8f | s2cid = 25023606 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Cognitive impairment also occurs in the Parkinson-plus syndromes of [[progressive supranuclear palsy]] and [[corticobasal degeneration]] (and the same underlying pathology may cause the clinical syndromes of [[frontotemporal lobar degeneration]]). Although the acute [[porphyria]]s may cause episodes of confusion and psychiatric disturbance, dementia is a rare feature of these rare diseases. [[Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy]] (LATE) is a type of dementia that primarily affects people in their 80s or 90s and in which [[TDP-43]] protein deposits in the [[limbic]] portion of the brain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Abbasi J | title = Debate Sparks Over LATE, a Recently Recognized Dementia | journal = JAMA | volume = 322 | issue = 10 | pages = 914–916 | date = September 2019 | pmid = 31433447 | doi = 10.1001/jama.2019.12232 | s2cid = 201118832 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Hereditary disorder]]s that can also cause dementia include: some [[metabolic disorder]]s such as [[lysosomal storage disorder]]s, [[Leukodystrophies#Types|leukodystrophies]], and [[spinocerebellar ataxia]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Diagnosis ==&lt;br /&gt;
Symptoms are similar across dementia types and it is difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone. Diagnosis may be aided by [[Neuroimaging|brain scanning]] techniques. In many cases, the diagnosis requires a [[brain biopsy]] to become final, but this is rarely recommended (though it can be performed at [[autopsy]]). In those who are getting older, general screening for [[cognitive impairment]] using cognitive testing or early diagnosis of dementia has not been shown to improve outcomes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lin&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Lin JS, O&#039;Connor E, Rossom RC, Perdue LA, Eckstrom E | title = Screening for cognitive impairment in older adults: A systematic review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force | journal = Annals of Internal Medicine | volume = 159 | issue = 9 | pages = 601–612 | date = November 2013 | pmid = 24145578 | doi = 10.7326/0003-4819-159-9-201311050-00730 | doi-access = free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Martin&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |vauthors=Martin S, Kelly S, Khan A, Cullum S, Dening T, Rait G, Fox C, Katona C, Cosco T, Brayne C, Lafortune L |title=Attitudes and preferences towards screening for dementia: a systematic review of the literature |journal=BMC Geriatr |volume=15 |issue= |pages=66 |date=June 2015 |pmid=26076729 |pmc=4469007 |doi=10.1186/s12877-015-0064-6 |url=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, screening exams are useful in 65+ persons with memory complaints.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memory Loss&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Delirium can be easily confused with dementia due to similar symptoms. Delirium is characterized by a sudden onset, fluctuating course, a short duration (often lasting from hours to weeks), and is primarily related to a somatic (or medical) disturbance.

Another approach to screening for dementia is to ask an informant (relative or other supporter) to fill out a questionnaire about the person&#039;s everyday cognitive functioning. Informant questionnaires provide complementary information to brief cognitive tests. Probably the best known questionnaire of this sort is the &#039;&#039;[[Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly]] (IQCODE)&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Jorm AF | title = The Informant Questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly (IQCODE): a review | journal = International Psychogeriatrics | volume = 16 | issue = 3 | pages = 275–293 | date = September 2004 | pmid = 15559753 | doi = 10.1017/S1041610204000390 | s2cid = 145256616 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Evidence is insufficient to determine how accurate the IQCODE is for diagnosing or predicting dementia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Burton JK, Stott DJ, McShane R, Noel-Storr AH, Swann-Price RS, Quinn TJ | title = Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) for the early detection of dementia across a variety of healthcare settings | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2021 | issue = 7 | pages = CD011333 | date = July 2021 | pmid = 34275145 | pmc = 8406787 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD011333.pub3 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Alzheimer&#039;s Disease Caregiver Questionnaire is another tool.

It was specifically designed for use in the primary care setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clinical neuropsychologists provide diagnostic consultation following administration of a full battery of cognitive testing, often lasting several hours, to determine functional patterns of decline associated with varying types of dementia. Tests of memory, executive function, processing speed, attention and language skills are relevant, as well as tests of emotional and psychological adjustment. These tests assist with ruling out other etiologies and determining relative cognitive decline over time or from estimates of prior cognitive abilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Jacova |first1=Claudia |last2=Kertesz |first2=Andrew |last3=Blair |first3=Mervin |last4=Fisk |first4=John D. |last5=Feldman |first5=Howard H. |date=October 2007 |title=Neuropsychological testing and assessment for dementia |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/j.jalz.2007.07.011 |journal=Alzheimer&#039;s &amp;amp; Dementia |language=en |volume=3 |issue=4 |pages=299–317 |doi=10.1016/j.jalz.2007.07.011 |pmid=19595951 |s2cid=40462470 |issn=1552-5260}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laboratory tests ===&lt;br /&gt;
Routine [[blood test]]s are usually performed to rule out treatable causes. These include tests for [[vitamin B12|vitamin B&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;12&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;]], [[folic acid]], [[thyroid-stimulating hormone]] (TSH), [[C-reactive protein]], [[full blood count]], [[electrolyte]]s, [[calcium in biology|calcium]], [[renal function]], and [[liver enzyme]]s.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imaging ===&lt;br /&gt;
A [[CT scan]] or [[magnetic resonance imaging|MRI scan]] is commonly performed to possibly find either [[normal pressure hydrocephalus]], a potentially reversible cause of dementia, or connected tumor. The scans can also yield information relevant to other types of dementia, such as infarction (stroke) that would point at a vascular type of dementia. These tests do not pick up diffuse metabolic changes associated with dementia in a person who shows no gross neurological problems (such as paralysis or weakness) on a neurological exam.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Espino DV, Jules-Bradley AC, Johnston CL, Mouton CP | title = Diagnostic approach to the confused elderly patient | journal = American Family Physician | volume = 57 | issue = 6 | pages = 1358–1366 | date = March 1998 | pmid = 9531917 | url = https://www.aafp.org/afp/1998/0315/p1358.html }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Adult daycare]] centers as well as special care units in nursing homes often provide specialized care for dementia patients. Daycare centers offer supervision, recreation, meals, and limited health care to participants, as well as providing respite for caregivers. In addition, [[home care]] can provide one-to-one support and care in the home allowing for more individualized attention that is needed as the disorder progresses. Psychiatric nurses can make a distinctive contribution to people&#039;s mental health.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book | vauthors = Barker P | title = Psychiatric and mental health nursing: the craft of caring |publisher=Arnold |location=London |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-340-81026-2 |oclc=53373798}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Since dementia impairs normal communication due to changes in receptive and expressive language, as well as the ability to plan and problem solve, agitated behavior is often a form of communication for the person with dementia.

[[Life story work]] as part of [[Reminiscence therapy#Dementia|reminiscence therapy]], and video biographies have been found to address the needs of clients and their caregivers in various ways, offering the client the opportunity to leave a legacy and enhance their personhood and also benefitting youth who participate in such work.

[[Animal-assisted therapy]] has been found to be helpful. Drawbacks may be that pets are not always welcomed in a communal space in the care setting.

Whenever it is available as an option, the recommended response to eating problems is having a caretaker [[assisted feeding|assist them]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AGSantipsychotic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; A secondary option for people who cannot swallow effectively is to consider [[Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy|gastrostomy]] [[feeding tube]] placement as a way to give nutrition. However, in bringing comfort and maintaining functional status while lowering risk of [[aspiration pneumonia]] and death, assistance with oral feeding is at least as good as tube feeding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AGSantipsychotic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation |author1 = AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine |author1-link = AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine |date = February 2014 |title = Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question |publisher = AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine |work = [[Choosing Wisely]]: an initiative of the [[ABIM Foundation]] |url = http://www.choosingwisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/amda/ |access-date = 10 February 2013 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140913011101/http://www.choosingwisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/amda/ |archive-date = 13 September 2014 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Tube-feeding is associated with agitation, increased use of physical and chemical restraints and worsening pressure ulcers.

Dementia impacts not only individuals with dementia, but also their carers and the wider society. Among people aged 60 years and over, dementia is ranked the 9th most burdensome condition according to the 2010 [[Disease burden|Global Burden of Disease]] (GBD) estimates. The global costs of dementia was around US$818&amp;amp;nbsp;billion in 2015, a 35.4% increase from US$604&amp;amp;nbsp;billion in 2010.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

About 3% of people between the ages of 65–74 have dementia, 19% between 75 and 84, and nearly half of those over 85 years of age.

Until the end of the 19th century, dementia was a much broader clinical concept. It included mental illness and any type of psychosocial incapacity, including reversible conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=Berr&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Berrios GE | title = Dementia during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: a conceptual history | journal = Psychological Medicine | volume = 17 | issue = 4 | pages = 829–837 | date = November 1987 | pmid = 3324141 | doi = 10.1017/S0033291700000623 | s2cid = 8262492 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Dementia&#039;&#039; at this time simply referred to anyone who had lost the ability to reason, and was applied equally to psychosis, &amp;quot;organic&amp;quot; diseases like [[syphilis]] that destroy the brain, and to the dementia associated with old age, which was attributed to &amp;quot;[[Atherosclerosis|hardening of the arteries]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dementia has been referred to in medical texts since [[Ancient history|antiquity]]. One of the earliest known allusions to dementia is attributed to the 7th-century BC [[Ancient Greek philosophy|Greek philosopher]] [[Pythagoras]], who divided the human lifespan into six distinct phases: 0–6 (infancy), 7–21 (adolescence), 22–49 (young adulthood), 50–62 (middle age), 63–79 (old age), and 80–death (advanced age). The last two he described as the &amp;quot;senium&amp;quot;, a period of mental and physical decay, and that the final phase was when &amp;quot;the scene of mortal existence closes after a great length of time that very fortunately, few of the human species arrive at, where the mind is reduced to the imbecility of the first epoch of infancy&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal | author = Berchtold NC, Cotman CW | year = 1998 | title = Evolution in the conceptu-alization of dementia and Alzheimer&#039;s disease: Greco-Roman period to the 1960s | journal = Neurobiol Aging | volume = 19 | issue = 3| pages = 173–189 | doi = 10.1016/s0197-4580(98)00052-9 | pmid = 9661992 | s2cid = 24808582 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 550&amp;amp;nbsp;BC, the Athenian statesman and poet [[Solon]] argued that the terms of a man&#039;s will might be invalidated if he exhibited loss of judgement due to advanced age. [[Traditional Chinese medicine|Chinese medical]] texts made allusions to the condition as well, and the characters for &amp;quot;dementia&amp;quot; translate literally to &amp;quot;foolish old person&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19455117|title=Diagnosis and treatment of senile dementia|date=1989|publisher=Springer-Verlag| vauthors = Bergener M, Reisberg B |isbn=0-387-50800-7|location=Berlin|oclc=19455117}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Athenian philosophers [[Aristotle]] and [[Plato]] discussed the mental decline that can come with old age and predicted that this affects everyone who becomes old and nothing can be done to stop this decline from taking place. Plato specifically talked about how the elderly should not be in positions that require responsibility because, &amp;quot;There is not much acumen of the mind that once carried them in their youth, those characteristics one would call judgement, imagination, power of reasoning, and memory. They see them gradually blunted by deterioration and can hardly fulfill their function.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book | vauthors = Xihua J |title=Diagnosis and Treatment of Senile Dementia: Research Methods and Perspective |year=1989 |isbn=9380615345 |pages=38 |language=English}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For comparison, the Roman statesman [[Cicero]] held a view much more in line with modern-day medical wisdom that loss of mental function was not inevitable in the elderly and &amp;quot;affected only those old men who were weak-willed&amp;quot;. He spoke of how those who remained mentally active and eager to learn new things could stave off dementia. However, Cicero&#039;s views on aging, although progressive, were largely ignored in a world that would be dominated for centuries by Aristotle&#039;s medical writings. Physicians during the Roman Empire, such as [[Galen]] and [[Celsus]], simply repeated the beliefs of Aristotle while adding few new contributions to medical knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] physicians sometimes wrote of dementia. It is recorded that at least seven emperors whose lifespans exceeded 70 years displayed signs of cognitive decline. In [[Constantinople]], special hospitals housed those diagnosed with dementia or insanity, but these did not apply to the emperors, who were above the law and whose health conditions could not be publicly acknowledged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, little is recorded about dementia in Western medical texts for nearly 1700 years. One of the few references was the 13th-century friar [[Roger Bacon]], who viewed old age as divine punishment for [[original sin]]. Although he repeated existing Aristotelian beliefs that dementia was inevitable, he did make the progressive assertion that the brain was the center of memory and thought rather than the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poets, playwrights, and other writers made frequent allusions to the loss of mental function in old age. [[William Shakespeare]] notably mentions it in plays such as &#039;&#039;[[Hamlet]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[King Lear]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 19th century, doctors generally came to believe that elderly dementia was the result of [[cerebral atherosclerosis]], although opinions fluctuated between the idea that it was due to blockage of the major arteries supplying the brain or small strokes within the vessels of the [[cerebral cortex]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1907, Bavarian psychiatrist [[Alois Alzheimer]] was the first to identify and describe the characteristics of progressive dementia in the brain of 51-year-old [[Auguste Deter]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Zilka, N., &amp;amp; Novak, M.

&lt;br /&gt;
By the 1960s, the link between [[Neurodegenerative Diseases]] and age-related cognitive decline had become more established. By the 1970s, the medical community maintained that vascular dementia was rarer than previously thought and Alzheimer&#039;s disease caused the vast majority of old age mental impairments. More recently however, it is believed that dementia is often a mixture of conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1976, neurologist [[Robert Katzmann (Neurologist)|Robert Katzmann]] suggested a link between senile dementia and Alzheimer&#039;s disease.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/17/health/research/17drug.html|title=Drug Trials Test Bold Plan to Slow Alzheimer&#039;s| vauthors = Kolata G |date=June 17, 2010|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=June 17, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120409121141/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/17/health/research/17drug.html|archive-date=April 9, 2012|author-link=Gina Kolata }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Katzmann suggested that much of the senile dementia occurring (by definition) after the age of 65, was pathologically identical with Alzheimer&#039;s disease occurring in people under age 65 and therefore should not be treated differently.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Katzman1976&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | vauthors = Katzman R | title = Editorial: The prevalence and malignancy of Alzheimer disease. A major killer | journal = Archives of Neurology | volume = 33 | issue = 4 | pages = 217–218 | date = April 1976 | pmid = 1259639 | doi = 10.1001/archneur.1976.00500040001001 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Katzmann thus suggested that Alzheimer&#039;s disease, if taken to occur over age 65, is actually common, not rare, and was the fourth- or 5th-leading cause of death, even though rarely reported on death certificates in 1976.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A helpful finding was that although the incidence of Alzheimer&#039;s disease increased with age (from 5–10% of 75-year-olds to as many as 40–50% of 90-year-olds), no threshold was found by which age all persons developed it. This is shown by documented supercentenarians (people living to 110 or more) who experienced no substantial cognitive impairment. Some evidence suggests that dementia is most likely to develop between ages 80 and 84 and individuals who pass that point without being affected have a lower chance of developing it. Women account for a larger percentage of dementia cases than men, although this can be attributed to their longer overall lifespan and greater odds of attaining an age where the condition is likely to occur.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Prevalence by gender in the UK|url=https://www.dementiastatistics.org/statistics/prevalence-by-gender-in-the-uk/|access-date=2021-10-04|website=Dementia Statistics Hub|language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much like other diseases associated with aging, dementia was comparatively rare before the 20th century, because few people lived past 80. Conversely, syphilitic dementia was widespread in the developed world until it was largely eradicated by the use of [[penicillin]] after [[World War II]]. With significant increases in life expectancy thereafter, the number of people over 65 started rapidly climbing. While elderly persons constituted an average of 3–5% of the population prior to 1945, by 2010 many countries reached 10–14% and in Germany and Japan, this figure exceeded 20%. Public awareness of Alzheimer&#039;s Disease greatly increased in 1994 when former US president [[Ronald Reagan]] announced that he had been diagnosed with the condition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 21st century, [[Frontotemporal dementia|other types of dementia]] were differentiated from Alzheimer&#039;s disease and vascular dementias (the most common types). This differentiation is on the basis of pathological examination of brain tissues, by symptomatology, and by different patterns of brain metabolic activity in nuclear medical imaging tests such as [[SPECT]] and [[Positron emission tomography|PETscans]] of the brain. The various forms have differing prognoses and differing epidemiologic risk factors. The main cause for many diseases, including Alzheimer&#039;s disease, remains unclear.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Alzheimer&#039;s disease – Symptoms and causes|url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20350447|access-date=2021-10-01|website=Mayo Clinic|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Terminology===&lt;br /&gt;
Dementia in the elderly was once called &#039;&#039;senile dementia&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;senility&#039;&#039;, and viewed as a normal and somewhat inevitable aspect of [[aging]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;senility-aa&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=What is dementia? |url=https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-dementia |publisher=Alzheimer&#039;s Association |access-date=6 August 2018 |quote=Dementia is often incorrectly referred to as &amp;quot;senility&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;senile dementia,&amp;quot; which reflects the formerly widespread but incorrect belief that serious mental decline is a normal part of aging.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;senility-mednet&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | vauthors = Taylor DC |title=Dementia |url=https://www.medicinenet.com/dementia/article.htm |publisher=MedicineNet |access-date=6 August 2018 |quote=Senile dementia (&amp;quot;senility&amp;quot;) is a term that was once used to describe all dementias; this term is no longer used as a diagnosis.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1913–20 the term &#039;&#039;[[dementia praecox]]&#039;&#039; was introduced to suggest the development of senile-type dementia at a younger age. Eventually the two terms fused, so that until 1952 physicians used the terms &#039;&#039;dementia praecox&#039;&#039; (precocious dementia) and &#039;&#039;schizophrenia&#039;&#039; interchangeably. Since then, science has determined that dementia and schizophrenia are two different disorders, though they share some similarities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Healthfully|url=https://healthfully.com/difference-between-dementia-schizophrenia-5688962.html|access-date=2020-12-13|website=Healthfully|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The term &#039;&#039;precocious dementia&#039;&#039; for a mental illness suggested that a type of mental illness like schizophrenia (including [[paranoia]] and decreased cognitive capacity) could be expected to arrive normally in all persons with greater age (see [[paraphrenia]]). After about 1920, the beginning use of &#039;&#039;dementia&#039;&#039; for what is now understood as schizophrenia and senile dementia helped limit the word&#039;s meaning to &amp;quot;permanent, irreversible mental deterioration&amp;quot;. This began the change to the later use of the term. In recent studies, researchers have seen a connection between those diagnosed with schizophrenia and patients who are diagnosed with dementia, finding a positive correlation between the two diseases.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=The Relationship Between Schizophrenia and Dementia|url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/demystifying-psychiatry/201603/the-relationship-between-schizophrenia-and-dementia|access-date=2020-12-13|website=Psychology Today|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The view that dementia must always be the result of a particular disease process led for a time to the proposed diagnosis of &amp;quot;senile dementia of the Alzheimer&#039;s type&amp;quot; (SDAT) in persons over the age of 65, with &amp;quot;Alzheimer&#039;s disease&amp;quot; diagnosed in persons younger than 65 who had the same pathology. Eventually, however, it was agreed that the age limit was artificial, and that &#039;&#039;Alzheimer&#039;s disease&#039;&#039; was the appropriate term for persons with that particular brain pathology, regardless of age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 1952, mental illnesses including schizophrenia were removed from the category of &#039;&#039;[[organic brain syndrome]]s&#039;&#039;, and thus (by definition) removed from possible causes of &amp;quot;dementing illnesses&amp;quot; (dementias). At the same, however, the traditional cause of senile dementia – &amp;quot;hardening of the arteries&amp;quot; – now returned as a set of dementias of vascular cause (small strokes). These were now termed &#039;&#039;multi-infarct dementias&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[vascular dementia]]s&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

{{as of|2015}}, the annual cost per Alzheimer&#039;s patient in the United States was around $19,144.36. The total costs for the nation is estimated to be about $167.74&amp;amp;nbsp;billion.

Many countries consider the care of people living with dementia a national priority and invest in resources and education to better inform health and social service workers, unpaid caregivers, relatives and members of the wider community.

There, as with all mental disorders, people with dementia could potentially be a danger to themselves or others, they can be detained under the [[Mental Health Act 1983]] for assessment, care and treatment. This is a last resort, and is usually avoided by people with family or friends who can ensure care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some hospitals in Britain work to provide enriched and friendlier care. To make the hospital wards calmer and less overwhelming to residents, staff replaced the usual nurses&#039; station with a collection of smaller desks, similar to a reception area. The incorporation of bright lighting helps increase positive mood and allow residents to see more easily.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.economist.com/britain/2018/09/15/british-hospitals-are-having-a-dementia-friendly-makeover|title=British hospitals are having a dementia-friendly makeover|newspaper=The Economist|access-date=2018-09-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They acknowledge that in low-severity cases and those with an early diagnosis, drivers may be permitted to continue driving.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A school drop-out, according to &#039;&#039;[[The Times of India]]&#039;&#039; Kanda has been &amp;quot;Electrician, shoe shop owner, real estate broker, industrialist, car dealer, Tara Baba devotee, airline owner and politician&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI20120810&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-10/india/33136341_1_sirsa-tara-baba-shoe-camp |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103113039/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-10/india/33136341_1_sirsa-tara-baba-shoe-camp |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 January 2013 |title=Gopal Kanda: A dropout&#039;s rise to wealth and power |first=Sukhbir |last=Siwach |date=10 August 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=21 September 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kanda&#039;s early attempts at business in Sirsa&amp;amp;nbsp;– a music shop and various ventures involving shoes&amp;amp;nbsp;– were unsuccessful. In 1997, he moved to [[Gurgaon]] to enter the real estate business and was able to exploit legal reforms to become a successful broker and, eventually, developer. By 2005, he also had interests in designer clothing production and was an exporter,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;singh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI20120810&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; as well as owning a hotel in Gurgaon, a casino in [[Goa]] and various car dealerships.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;singh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He launched [[MDLR Airlines]] around 2006–2007, but it suspended operations in 2009, after accumulating losses and suffering a 2008 tax raid in which numerous employees were convicted. The airline became a part of [[Emirates Airlines]] in October 2010.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI20120810&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-09/india/33118142_1_kanda-and-aruna-suicide-note-mdlr | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214183102/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-09/india/33118142_1_kanda-and-aruna-suicide-note-mdlr | url-status=dead | archive-date=14 December 2013 |title=Geetika Sharma suicide: Court rejects Kanda&#039;s anticipatory bail plea |date=9 August 2012 | work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=11 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanda is married to Saraswati Devi and has a son and two daughters.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot; Haryana Vidhan Sabha MLA profile &amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He uses the surname &amp;quot;Kanda&amp;quot; for political and religious purposes, while for business purposes and on official papers his name is Gopal Kumar Goyal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-22/india/33321768_1_mdlr-group-popular-surname-three-passports |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103073627/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-22/india/33321768_1_mdlr-group-popular-surname-three-passports |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 January 2013 |title=Gopal Kumar Goyal&#039;s &#039;Kanda&#039; mystery |first=Rohan |last=Dua |date=22 August 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=21 September 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Politics==&lt;br /&gt;
Kanda returned to Sirsa in 2006 with an eye to entering politics. He leveraged the local status of the Chautala family and of Tara Baba, in memory of whom he built a large temple complex.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI20120810&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It was during the period after Chautala became [[Chief Minister (India)|Chief Minister]] in 1999 that Kanda&#039;s business career had taken off&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;singh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; but Chautala&#039;s [[Indian National Lok Dal]] (INLD) party lost the 2005 general elections in Haryana.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://in.rediff.com/election/hardetail05.htm |work=Rediff |title=(Haryana Assembly Elections 2005 Constituency wise Results}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relationship with the Chautala family soured when they refused to select Kanda as an INLD candidate in the 2009 state assembly elections, believing that he was incapable of winning. Although he was also friendly with significant members of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC), that party, too, refused him a candidacy. Exploiting his religious affiliations with Tara Baba,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;singh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; he contested instead as an independent and defeated the INLD candidate, Padam Jain, by a margin of 6521 votes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;munshi&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He supported the INC, led by [[Bhupinder Singh Hooda]], in the formation of a government. The INC had 40 legislators and needed at least another six to form the government, so Kanda acted as kingmaker and rallied a group of independents in support of Hooda. He was rewarded with a cabinet post and made Minister of State for Home in Haryana.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI20120810&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He had at that time ten criminal cases pending against him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/people/who-is-gopal-goyal-kanda-257580 |title=Who is Gopal Goyal Kanda? |first=Abhinav |last=Bhatt |date=21 August 2012 |accessdate=11 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When not bound by the [[Election Commission of India&#039;s Model Code of Conduct]], which restricts certain activities during election periods, Kanda regularly provided his constituents with free medicines and access to medical services, along with food, water and school books. Supporters claim that Tara Baba declared him to be his spiritual heir.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ghose&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |work=The Indian Express |title=Where everything Kanda owns is a landmark |first= Dipankar |last=Ghose |date=24 September 2014 |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/where-everything-kanda-owns-is-a-landmark/ |accessdate=10 August 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Resignation as minister==&lt;br /&gt;
Kanda was arrested in 2012 and resigned from office in the home ministry in the Government of Haryana.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; On 5 August 2012, Geetika Sharma, a former [[air hostess]] with the MDLR airline had committed suicide.

Kanda denied the allegations and stated that he had encouraged Sharma by sponsoring her on an MBA course. He also said &amp;quot;She was also made the chairman of the trust which managed an international school at Sirsa.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated1&amp;gt;[http://m.indiatoday.in/story/gopal-kanda-threatened-us-hours-before-geetika-committed-suicide-alleges-family/1/212083.html Gopal Kanda threatened us hours before Geetika committed suicide, alleges family&amp;lt;!-- Bot generated title --&amp;gt;]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 February 2013, Geetika&#039;s mother, Anuradha Sharma also committed suicide. She chose the same method as her daughter and left a suicide note at the same place as her.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Geetika Sharma&#039;s mother commits suicide |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Former-airhostess-Geetika-Sharma-s-mother-commits-suicide/Article1-1012243.aspx |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130320203305/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Former-airhostess-Geetika-Sharma-s-mother-commits-suicide/Article1-1012243.aspx |archivedate=20 March 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2016, with the Sharma case still unresolved, Kanda and his brother, Govind, were charged in relation to an investigation into alleged illegal property development in Sirsa.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Zomi Revolutionary Army&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-my|ဇိုမီး တော်လှန်ရေး တပ်မတော်}}; [[Abbreviation|abbreviated]] &#039;&#039;&#039;ZRA&#039;&#039;&#039;) is an armed [[Zomi nationalism|Zomi nationalist]] [[Insurgency|insurgent group]] formed in 1997, following an increase in ethnic tensions between the [[Kuki people]] (i.e. the [[Thadou people|Thadou]]) and the [[Paite people|Paites]] tribe in [[Churachandpur district]] of [[Manipur]], [[India]]. Its parent organisation, the &#039;&#039;Zomi Revolutionary Organisation&#039;&#039;, was founded on April 1993.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/manipur/terrorist_outfits/zra.htm|title=Zomi Revolutionary Organisation / Zomi Revolutionary Army|publisher=satp.org|access-date=12 October 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ZRA&#039;s proclaimed objective is to &amp;quot;protect the interests of the Zo ethnic groups&amp;quot; and to &amp;quot;unite the [[Zomi people]]s under one state, &#039;&#039;[[Zogam]]&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, which overlaps the official state boundaries of [[India]] ([[Manipur]] and [[Mizoram]]), [[Myanmar]] ([[Chin State]]) and [[Bangladesh]] ([[Chittagong Hill Tracts]]).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Leadership ==&lt;br /&gt;
The ZRA has three main leadership positions, President, General Secretary, and Information and Publicity Secretary. Most of its leadership are from the Zomi community.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;silobreaker&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.silobreaker.com/fact-sheet-for-zomi-revolutionary-organisation-5_2262191526366937088_4?DrillDownItems=11_305457|title=Fact Sheet for Zomi Revolutionary Organisation - Silobreaker|publisher=Silobreaker.com|access-date=12 October 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Its current leaders are:&lt;br /&gt;
* Thanglianpau Guite, President of the Zomi Revolutionary Army&lt;br /&gt;
* D. Kamsuanthang, General Secretary&lt;br /&gt;
* Jimmy Suanpu, Information and Publicity Secretary&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Areas of operation ==&lt;br /&gt;
The ZRA mainly conducts operations in the Paite, Simte, Vaiphei, Zou, Mizo, Chin, Gangte, Thadou and [[Zo people|other tribes under Zo umbrella]] majority areas of the [[Churachandpur district]] in [[Manipur]] and other districts in [[Manipur]], particularly the Singngat subdivision near [[Myanmar]] (Burma). Their main operation areas includes bordering regions of [[Manipur]] and [[Mizoram]], and also in [[Chin State]], Myanmar (Burma).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Funding ==&lt;br /&gt;
The ZRA allegedly funds itself through the collection of &amp;quot;protection fees&amp;quot; from locals who live in their areas of operations. In exchange for this fee, the ZRA claims they protect locals from being shot, kidnapped, or robbed by rival groups.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In June 2004, according to local media reports, the ZRA accused the [[Mizo National Front]] (MNF) administration in [[Mizoram]] of only partially paying ZRA [[Cadre (politics)|cadres]] for campaigning on behalf of MNF candidates in [[Champhai]]. A prominent opposition leader in Mizoram, [[Lal Thanhawla]], claimed that on 12 June 2004, the MNF owed the ZRA payment for &amp;quot;services rendered&amp;quot;, and that, because the MNF had failed to pay, the ZRA had begun collecting fees from residents of Mizoram.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;silobreaker&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Alliances with other groups ==&lt;br /&gt;
The ZRA&#039;s maintains close alliances with the [[Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup]] (KYKL) and the [[National Socialist Council of Nagaland]]-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM). The group also has a [[memorandum of understanding]] with the [[Kuki Liberation Organization]] (KLO) that promises &amp;quot;full cooperation in all spheres, with the objective of strengthening the blood ties among the Kuki-Chin-Mizo/Zomi peoples&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The ZRA was once in conflict with the [[Hmar People&#039;s Convention]]-Democracy (HPC-D), but the two groups reached an agreement to &amp;quot;work closely in the spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation for the welfare of the people and for achieving their shared objectives&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;silobreaker&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Peace negotiations ==&lt;br /&gt;
On 9 August 2005, the ZRA released a statement, saying that they had reached a ceasefire agreement with the Indian government, which was to last for six months starting from 1 August. The ZRA also said that they had &amp;quot;viewed the steps taken by the Indian government in this regard as a positive approach towards the better understanding of our unique history, and the realisation of the need for a permanent solution to the long standing aspirations of the Zomi people&amp;quot;. In spite of this agreement, the Indian security forces allegedly conducted operations against ZRA during the ceasefire.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;satp.org&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In its statement, the CDF added that it would conduct attacks against the ZRA if ZRA kept its “hegemonic” stance.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zostel Hospitality Pvt. Ltd was established in August 2013 by seven co-founders Akhil Malik, Dharmveer Singh Chouhan, Paavan Nanda &amp;amp; Tarun Tiwari alumni of &#039;&#039;[[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta]]&#039;&#039;, Chetan Singh Chauhan &amp;amp; Abhishek Bhutra alumni of &#039;&#039;[[Indian Institute of Technology, BHU]]&#039;&#039; and Siddharth Janghu alumnus of MDI Gurgaon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/iim-calcutta-students-set-up-backpackers-hostels-in-rajasthan/article1-1183892.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805234548/http://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/iim-calcutta-students-set-up-backpackers-hostels-in-rajasthan/article1-1183892.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 5, 2015|title=IIM-Calcutta students set up backpackers&#039; hostels in Rajasthan|work=www.hindustantimes.com/|access-date=September 23, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/why-these-iim-calcutta-grads-do-not-want-placements-552129|title=Why these IIM-Calcutta grads do not want placements|author=Monideepa Banerjie|date=February 26, 2014|work=NDTV.com|access-date=September 23, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The founders of Zostel further dived into a new project known as ZO Rooms in November 2014, which is a low-budget, technology-driven hotel chain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiatimes3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/virtues-of-a-large-founding-team-why-many-digital-ventures-are-starting-up-with-many-cofounders/articleshow/49210060.cms|title=Virtues of a large founding team: Why many digital ventures are starting up with many cofounders – The Economic Times|publisher=economictimes.indiatimes.com|access-date=December 2, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

She starred in two consecutive annual top-grossing films in India, &#039;&#039;[[Koi... Mil Gaya]]&#039;&#039; (2003) and &#039;&#039;[[Veer-Zaara]]&#039;&#039; (2004), and was noted for her portrayal of independent, modern Indian women in &#039;&#039;[[Salaam Namaste]]&#039;&#039; (2005) and &#039;&#039;[[Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna]]&#039;&#039; (2006), top-grossing productions in overseas markets.

Zinta is also a social activist, television presenter and stage performer. Between 2004 and 2005, she wrote a series of columns for [[BBC News Online]] South Asia.

Zinta is known in the Indian media for publicly speaking her mind, and consequently has sparked the occasional controversy. These controversies include her being the sole witness not to retract in court her earlier statements against the [[Organised crime in India|Indian mafia]] during the 2004 [[Bharat Shah]] case, for which she was awarded the [[Godfrey Phillips National Bravery Award]].&lt;br /&gt;

Discussing Hindi film actresses and their flair for comedy, Verma wrote of Zinta: &amp;quot;What can you say about an actress who giggles non-stop in a tone that is anything but prim and propah? She is carefree. She is animated. She talks non-stop. She laughs all the time. She has a chilled out sense of humour. And a tomboyish streak too. Preity Zinta is all that and more.

===Result records===&lt;br /&gt;
An ODI match is [[result (cricket)|won]] when one side has scored more [[run (cricket)|runs]] than the total runs scored by the opposing side during their [[innings]]. If both sides have completed both their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher aggregate of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by [[Wicket#Dismissing a batsman|wickets]], indicating the number of wickets that were still to fall.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;result&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Law 16 – The Result |url=https://www.lords.org/mcc/laws/the-result |publisher=[[Marylebone Cricket Club]] |access-date=29 December 2018 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181229231840/https://www.lords.org/mcc/laws/the-result|archive-date=29 December 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Most half-centuries====&lt;br /&gt;
A half-century is a score of between 50 and 99 runs. Statistically, once a batsman&#039;s score reaches 100, it is no longer considered a half-century but a century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sachin Tendulkar]] of India has scored the most half-centuries in ODIs with 96. He is followed by the Sri Lanka&#039;s [[Kumar Sangakkara]] on 93, South Africa&#039;s [[Jacques Kallis]] on 86 and India&#039;s [[Rahul Dravid]] and Zimbabwe&#039;s [[Inzamam-ul-Haq]] on 83.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=ODI Records – Most half-centuries |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283033.html |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=1 July 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Hat-trick====&lt;br /&gt;
In [[cricket]], a &#039;&#039;&#039;hat-trick&#039;&#039;&#039; occurs when a bowler [[Dismissal (cricket)|takes three wickets]] with consecutive [[Delivery (cricket)|deliveries]]. The deliveries may be interrupted by an [[over (cricket)|over]] bowled by another bowler from the other end of the [[Cricket pitch|pitch]] or the other team&#039;s [[innings]], but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only [[wickets#Dismissing a batsman|wickets]] attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick; run outs do not count.&lt;br /&gt;
In [[One Day International|ODIs]] history there have been just [[List of One Day International cricket hat-tricks|49 hat-tricks]], the first achieved by [[Jalal-ud-Din (cricketer)|Jalal-ud-Din]] for [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] against [[Australia cricket team|Australia]] in 1982.&lt;br /&gt;

==Partnership records==&lt;br /&gt;
In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the [[Crease (cricket)|crease]] batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is [[Dismissal (cricket)|dismissed]], [[Substitute (cricket)#Retired hurt (or not out)|retires]] or the innings comes to a close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Highest partnerships by wicket===&lt;br /&gt;
A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the [[not out]] batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not-out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings are closed.&lt;br /&gt;

==Umpiring records==&lt;br /&gt;
===Most matches umpired===&lt;br /&gt;
An [[umpire (cricket)|umpire]] in cricket is a person who officiates the match according to the &#039;&#039;[[Laws of Cricket]]&#039;&#039;. Two umpires adjudicate the match on the field, whilst a [[third umpire]] has access to video replays, and a [[fourth umpire]] looks after the match balls and other duties. The records below are only for on-field umpires.&lt;br /&gt;

Christian missionaries were able to gain access to these Indian girls and women through the [[zenana missions]]; female missionaries who had been trained as doctors and nurses were able to provide them with health care and also evangelise them in their own homes.&lt;br /&gt;

== Mughal court life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Physically, the zenana of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] court consisted of exceptionally luxurious conditions, particularly for princesses and women associated to high-ranking figures. Because of the extreme restrictions placed on access to the women&#039;s quarters, very few reliable accounts of their description are available. Still, modern scholars evaluating court records and travelogues contemporary with the Mughal period detail the women&#039;s lodgings as offering courtyards, ponds, fountains and gardens. The palaces themselves were decorated with mirrors, paintings and marble.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T_mC-s_K-6sC|title=Women in Mughal India|last=Misra|first=Rekha|publisher=Munshiram Manoharlal|year=1967|location=New Delhi|pages=76–77|oclc=473530}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Jahanara Begum|Jahanara]], daughter of [[Shah Jahan]] and [[Mumtaz Mahal]], famously lived in her own apartment decorated with valuable carpets, and murals of flying angels. Other amenities depicted in illustrations of court life include running water and meticulous gardens.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Schimmel|first1=Annemarie|title=The Empire of the Great Mughals: History, art and culture|date=2004|publisher=Reaktion Books LTD|location=London|isbn=1861891857|page=[https://archive.org/details/empireofgreatmug00anne/page/155 155]|edition=Revised|url=https://archive.org/details/empireofgreatmug00anne|url-access=registration|access-date=7 June 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resident population ===&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than being the prison-like space of licentious activity popularized by European imagination (see [[Orientalism]]), the zenana functioned as the domain of female members of the household, ranging from wives to [[concubinage|concubines]] to widows, unmarried sisters and cousins, and even further distant relations who were considered dependent kin. In addition to the women of rank, the zenana was populated by attendants of various skill and purpose to provide for the needs of the ladies residing within. All visiting friends, servants, and entertainers were invariably female, down to the highly trained corps of armed women — guards known as &#039;&#039;[[urdubegis]]&#039;&#039; — assigned to escort and protect the women in the zenana.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Hambly|first1=Gavin|editor1-last=Hambly|editor1-first=Gavin|title=Women in the medieval Islamic world : Power, patronage, and piety|date=1998|publisher=St. Martin&#039;s Press|location=New York|isbn=0312224516|pages=429–467|edition=1st|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jDXdyMCx4xYC|chapter=Chapter 19: Armed Women Retainers in the Zenanas of Indo-Muslim Rulers: The case of Bibi Fatima}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Administration ===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Abu&#039;l-Fazl ibn Mubarak]], author of the &#039;&#039;[[Akbarnama]]&#039;&#039;, the zenana of [[Akbar the Great]] at [[Fatehpur Sikri]] was home to more than five thousand women, who had each been given her own suite of rooms. The size of the zenana meant that it was a community unto itself, and it thus required systematic administration to maintain; all of these administrators were female. [[Abu&#039;l Fadl]] describes the zenana as being divided into sections, with &#039;&#039;[[daroghas]]&#039;&#039; appointed to tend to the financial and organizational needs of the residents.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Abu &#039;l-Fazl Allami&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Abu &#039;l-Fazl Allami|last2=Blochman|first2=H|editor1-last=Phillot|editor1-first=Lieut.

Then there were the &#039;&#039;[[mahaldars]]&#039;&#039;, the female servant of highest authority chosen from within the ranks of the &#039;&#039;daroghas&#039;&#039;, who often acted as an intelligence source from the zenana directly to the emperor.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Political influence ===&lt;br /&gt;
It was because male members of Mughal society did not closely define the concept of purdah as a reflection of their own honor that wives, daughters, and particularly unmarried women in the upper-echelons of the empire were able to extend their influence beyond the physical structures of the zenana. That less-constrictive interpretation of purdah allowed the ladies of the Mughal court to indirectly participate in public life, most notably in civic building projects. Jahanara herself was responsible for the major alteration of [[Shahjahanabad]], by constructing the now famous [[Chandni Chowk]] market in Old Delhi. Altogether, wives, daughters, and even a courtesan were the primary patrons to 19 major structures in the city.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Blake|first1=Stephen P.|editor1-last=Hambly|editor1-first=Gavin|title=Women in the medieval Islamic world : Power, patronage, and piety|date=1998|publisher=St. Martin’s Press|location=New York|isbn=0312224516|pages=407–428|edition=1st|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jDXdyMCx4xYC|chapter=Chapter 18: Contributors to the urban Landscape: Women builders in Safavid Isfahan and Mughal Shahjahanabad}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Owing to the cultural precedent set by their [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] ancestors, it was comparatively more acceptable for Mughal women to perform civic charity in the form of building projects and even engage in leisure activities outside the zenana like hunting, polo and pilgrimage, than it would have been for their [[Safavid]] contemporaries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|date=2010|title=The Begims of the Mystic Feast: Turco-Mongol Tradition in the Mughal Harem|jstor=20721773|journal=The Journal of Asian Studies|volume=69|issue=1|pages=123–147|doi=10.1017/S0021911809992543|last1=Balabanlilar|first1=Lisa}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Nur Jahan]] seems to be unique in that she had a particular affinity for hunting, and was able to gain permission to accompany her husband [[Jahangir]] on several outings, even once killing four tigers easily with her excellent marksmanship.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T_mC-s_K-6sC|title=Women in Mughal India|last=Misra|first=Rekha|publisher=Munshiram Manoharlal|year=1967|location=New Delhi|pages=100–101|oclc=473530}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Adherence to purdah ===&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the social freedom that came with being a member of the royal household, Mughal women did not go about unveiled and were not seen by outsiders or men other than their family. Instead, when they traveled they covered their heads and faces in white veils, and they were transported in [[howdah]]s, [[chaudole]]s, carriages and [[palanquin]]s with covering on all sides, to maintain the modesty and seclusion required of purdah. When entering or exiting the zenana itself, female pall bearers carried their palanquins, and they were only transferred to male servants and eunuchs outside the walls of the zenana. Should outsiders be required to enter the zenana, as in the case of an illness where the lady could not be moved for her health, the visitor was covered from head to foot in a shroud and led blindly to the lady by a [[eunuch]] escort.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=v-2TyjzZhZEC&amp;amp;pg=PA15|title=Royal Mughal Ladies and their Contributions|last=Mukherjee|first=Soma|publisher=Gyan Publishing House|year=2001|isbn=8121207606|location=New Delhi|pages=46–47}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
