The contract was awarded to Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited. In May 2023, the [[Bombay High Court]] dismissed petitions filed by Larsen & Toubro challenging the rejection of its bids relating to packages of the project.<ref name=":3" />

In October 2023 and February 2024, Indian news reports stated that the project received wildlife-related approvals from the Maharashtra State Board for Wildlife and the National Board for Wildlife.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{cite news |date=4 February 2024 |title=MMRDA gets National Board of Wildlife's nod for Thane-Borivali twin tunnel project |url=https://m.economictimes.com/news/india/mmrda-gets-national-board-of-wildlifes-nod-for-thane-borivali-twin-tunnel-project/articleshow/107400864.cms |access-date=7 April 2026 |work=The Economic Times |agency=PTI}}</ref>

In July 2024, Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] laid the foundation stone for the project during a visit to Mumbai.<ref name=":1"/><ref name=":3" />

== Environmental concerns ==
The project has attracted scrutiny because its alignment passes beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park.<ref name=":3" />

In June 2023, ''Hindustan Times'' reported that an ecological survey identified 18 highly protected species along the alignment and that some experts had criticised the survey's conclusions on impact assessment.<ref name=":2" />

A 2024 report by ''IndiaSpend'' said environmentalists had raised concerns regarding biodiversity, aquifers, geology and the overall ecological effect of the tunnel works beneath the park.<ref name=":3" />

== Construction progress ==
By early 2025, news reports indicated that rehabilitation housing had been allotted for families affected by the project on the Borivali side.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shaikh |first1=Ateeq |last2=Rao |first2=Shashank |date=7 January 2025 |title=Decks cleared for start of work on Borivali-Thane twin tunnel project |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/decks-cleared-for-start-of-work-on-borivali-thane-twin-tunnel-project-101736190002758.html |access-date=7 April 2026 |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref>

In February 2026, ''The Indian Express'' reported that more than 500 structures had been cleared in Borivali for work related to the launch shaft for a tunnel boring machine.<ref name=":0" />

In December 2025 and April 2026, ''The Indian Express'' reported milestones relating to the deployment of a tunnel boring machine named ''Nayak'' for excavation work on the project with a second tunnel boring machine ''Arjuna being assembled''.<ref>{{cite news |date=1 December 2025 |title=In a push to Mumbai's longest urban tunnel project, India's largest TBM lowered for Thane-Borivali twin tunnel |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/push-longest-urban-tunnel-project-indias-largest-tbm-lowered-thane-borivali-twin-tunnel-10395456/ |access-date=7 April 2026 |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref name=":4" />

In April 2026, reports suggested that the [[MMRDA]] will start evicting the last of the residents on the Borivali side of the tunnel, at the suburb known as Magathane. This is significant as it was considered to be the final obstacle for the smooth construction of the project. The eviction was considered necessary after outreach from MMRDA officials for the rehabilitations of various such residents, also known as Project Affected Persons, was spurned or not responded to.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-04-27 |title=Mumbai’s 15-minute Thane Borivali commute inches closer as last hurdle cleared |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbais-thane-borivali-commute-inches-closer-hurdle-cleared-10658162/ |access-date=2026-04-27 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

'''Murphy Town''' or '''Knoxpete''', is a suburb located near [[Bangalore Cantonment]], [[India]]. It is one of the oldest planned suburbs of the Cantonment, and was earlier known as Knoxpete, and was later changed to Hoysala Nagar. It is located North of [[Ulsoor|Halasuru]], with Murphy Road running along its periphery, and is also bounded by Old Madras Road and Kensington Road, with part of Kensington Road overlooking Halasuru Lake Madras Sappers.<ref name=Deccan>{{cite news|title=An area of starkness|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/939/an-area-starkness.html|access-date=23 December 2014|issue=Bangalore|publisher=Deccan Herald|date=20 April 2009}}</ref><ref name=Ronnie>{{cite web|last1=Johnson|first1=Ronnie|title=Ulsoor, Murphy Town, Knoxpet, Ulsoor Lake, Bangalore|url=http://www.oocities.org/athens/Acropolis/9449/ulsoor.htm|access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref>

==Knoxpete==
In the early 1900s the suburb was known as Knoxpete,<ref name=Deccan /><ref name=sujnaturelover>{{cite web|last1=sujnaturelover|title=A walk down Murphy Town|url=https://sujnaturelover.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/a-walk-down-murphy-town/|publisher=wordpress.com|access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref> named after Lt. Col. Stuart George Knox, who served as [[Resident (title)|Resident]] of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]] and [[Coorg]] between 1 November 1921 to 31 October 1922, and earlier as Resident of [[Baroda State]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Stuart George Knox|url = http://www.geni.com/people/Stuart-Knox/6000000013036462988|website = geni_family_tree|access-date = 2015-10-30}}</ref> The suburb was settled since 1865 by Tamil workers such as tannery workers, leather workers, pottery workers, etc. The houses at Knoxpete had poor sanitation facilities and generally poorly built, and resembled a slum. The Bangalore Plague of 1898, resulted in the government deciding to demolish, rebuild and re-settle the suburb. However actual process was started only in 1923. In 1937, the suburb was renamed as Murphy Town, after W H Murphy, MBE - Executive Engineer, Municipal Council, Bangalore Civil and Military Station.<ref name=Deccan /><ref name=Harshitha>{{cite web|last1=Harshitha|first1=Samyuktha|title=An Engineer who invented a dog killing machine|url=http://ramubangalore.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/an-engineer-who-invented-dog-killing.html|website=Suttha Muttha|access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref>

==W H Murphy==
W H Murphy, served as the Executive Engineer, Municipal Council, Bangalore Civil and Military Station for nearly 25 years. Murphy is credited with designing the sanitation works at [[Austin Town|Ferdinand Kittel Nagara]], and the underground drainage works at Shivajinagara. He is responsible for designing and execution of some of Bangalore Cantonment's prominent buildings, such as [[Russell Market]], which is named after T B Russell who served as Municipal Commissioner, Bangalore.<ref name=Raman>{{cite book|last1=Raman|first1=Afried|title=Bangalore - Mysore|date=1994|publisher=Orient Blackswan|location=Madras|isbn=9780863114311|page=17}}</ref> He also designed and built the Friend In Need Society and Colonel Hill High School, with buildings known as Cobb Home for the Aged (after H V Cobb, Resident of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]]) and Girdlestone Nursing Home (after C E R Girdlestone, Resident of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]]), inaugurated W P Barton (British Resident). Murphy was also credited with inventing the Dog Electrocute, which was used to kill stray dogs painlessly, and extensively used in the Bangalore Cantonment since November 1925.<ref name=Harshitha /> Murphy was also one of the founding members of the Rotary Club of Bangalore (founded 27 October 1934).<ref name=Harshitha /><ref name=Archives>{{cite web|title=INDIA-L Archives|url=http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/1999-11/0942128322|publisher=ancestry.com|access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref>

==Town plan==
Cantonment records indicate that 310 single homes and 108 double homes were built, with cement, bricks and Mangalore tiles. There were large open quadrangles, and the houses were around its periphery, and these open spaces provided space for community and social functions. Space was also provided for Temples, Churches and a Market<ref name=Deccan /><ref name=Harshitha /> The housing scheme at Hoysala Nagara was based on three defining principles. Firstly, the houses should be 'too good for the classes that occupy them'<ref name=Hindu>{{cite news|last1=Ramesh|first1=Niranjana|title=Going to town with a colonial legacy|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/society/going-to-town-with-a-colonial-legacy/article3742125.ece|access-date=23 December 2014|issue=Bangalore|work=The Hindu|date=8 August 2012}}</ref> - the intention was to people to grain self-respect. Secondly, 'the dull uniformity of barracks' must not be implemented - as it proved to be a hindrance to social elevation. Finally, the houses were built with scope for further expansion if economic conditions improved.

The Houses had postal addresses named as "SQUARE" (instead of Lane, Street or Cross) based on 9 numbers of the Squares consisting of Houses making it a Proper square, with Each of the "SQUARE" having a playground for recreational use of the Residents (Hence you see the locality producing so many National level Footballers & Hockey Players even till date).<ref name=Deccan />

==Residents of Hoysala Nagara==
Like in other suburbs of the [[Bangalore Cantonment]], Hoysala Nagara has a large [[Tamil People|Tamil]] population with Kannada & Telugu speaking Residents too. They trace their ancestry to the large number of Tamil soldiers, suppliers and workers who were brought into the Bangalore Civil and Military Station, by the British Army, after the [[Siege of Seringapatam (1799)|fall of Tippu Sultan]].It is said that half of the Tamil soldier ancestors of the Hoysala Nagara residents were from The Madras Sappers. Hoysala Nagara along with other suburbs of the [[Bangalore Cantonment]] was directly under the administration of the British [[Madras Presidency]] till 1949, when it was handed over to the [[Mysore State]].<ref name=Srivatsa>{{cite news|last1=Srivatsa|first1=Sharath S|title=Bangalore calling: it all goes way back…|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/article1939954.ece|access-date=3 January 2015|issue=Bangalore|work=The Hindu|date=31 October 2007}}</ref><ref name=Arul>{{cite web|last1=Steve|first1=Arul|title=Specialization On Social And Cultural Indifference Among Kgf Tamil Migrants|url=https://arulsteve736.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/specialization-on-social-and-cultural-indifference-among-kgf-tamil-migrants/|publisher=Word Press|access-date=4 January 2015|date=17 April 2013}}</ref><ref name=Harshitha2>{{cite web|last1=Harshitha|first1=Samyuktha|title=The Mootocherry of Bangalore|url=http://ramubangalore.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/the-mootocherry-of-bangalore.html|website=Suttha Muttha|publisher=Blogspot.com.au|access-date=4 January 2015|date=1 June 2013}}</ref>

Like other poverty stricken areas of the world, Hoysala Nagara, along with [[Austin Town|Ferdinand Kittel Nagara]] has produced many good football players, with the sport being very popular in the suburb. This town has produced national & international Hockey players, coaches.
Even today Free Football & Hockey coaching is conducted for kids.
Primrose Hockey Club One of the Oldest Private Hockey clubs in Karnataka was started here in 1959.<ref name=Deccan /><ref name=Harshitha /> There are some 37 houses in Hoysala Nagara where the residents pay a nominal rent to BBMP, with the rates staying low as fixed by the British Authorities of the erstwhile [[Bangalore Cantonment]]. After independence, the residents met Murphy to get ownership papers, however these 37 houses were left without proper land papers. According to residents, they are still looked down as immigrants by government departments, even though they have been living in Bangalore than most other people in the city. The Street names in Hoysala Nagara are named after Mudaliars, who were prominent businessmen in the community.
The Town Government School had produced several IAS officers, doctors, engineers, scientists, politicians, and teachers.
Former municipal councillor Shri Bhaskaran was elected several times as councillor and was honorary deputy mayor of Bangalore.
Under his guidance hundreds of old Hoysala Nagara residents got B.D.A sites in Indira Nagar and neighborhood areas, many moved away to these new development areas( but they do a mandatory customary annual visit to celebrate Ulsoor pallike with their relatives & friends),<ref name=Hindu />

The local school bearing the plaque ‘1913 Elementary School’, used to a Tamil Medium School, which has now been converted to Kannada Medium. The school has an old dilapidated building called the 'Evelyn Barton Welfare Centre’, which has since been closed as it's too dangerous. According to the Principal of the School, local residents prefer to give their children English Medium Education from the numerous other schools nearby.<ref name=Hindu />

The Hoysala Nagara Market is known for its Meat shops selling Chicken, Mutton, Beef and Fish.<ref name=Hindu /> One of the shops in the Hoysala Nagara Market, VM Stores is 100 years old, and is one of the oldest stores in the Market.<ref name=sujnaturelover /> Most of the shops 8x10 ft2, and the rent is minimal at INR 110.

== Player profile ==
Figueiredo grew up in a rural environment before beginning his football career. He was known for being comfortable using either foot and for his ability in aerial play. His style of play was technical, and he was regarded as a physically resilient defender. Notably, he was never booked for a foul by a referee during his career.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GOA’S 1ST INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER MENINO FIGUEIREDO NO MORE |url=https://www.prudentmedia.in/general/goa%E2%80%99s-1st-international-football-player-menino-figueiredo-no-more/25209.html |access-date=2026-01-10 |website=www.prudentmedia.in |language=en}}</ref>

“Menino was designated half-back, but his role was really that of a twin stopper. His build suited the role,” said former GFA secretary Antonio Botelho.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-04-09 |title=Menino Figueiredo, Goa's first international sportsperson who personified defending, dies at 86 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/menino-goas-first-international-sportsperson-who-personified-defending-dies-at-86/articleshow/99351632.cms |access-date=2026-01-10 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

After being released through the intervention of [[Raymond Godefroy]], a new [[Minister General (Franciscan)|minister general]] who sympathized with the Spiritualists, Thomas traveled with [[Angelo da Clareno]], [[Marco da Montelupone]], [[Pietro da Macerata]], and [[Angelo da Tolentino]]<ref name=Nardi/> to [[Christian mission|mission]] in [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia|Lesser Armenia]] in 1289. In 1291, its [[King Haython II]] directed him to return to the courts of [[Papal Court|Rome]], [[Kingdom of France|Paris]], and [[Kingdom of England|London]] to seek help against his [[Islam|Muslim]] foes.<ref name=Habig/> His efforts to raise a new [[crusades|crusade]] were unsuccessful and he returned east,{{sfn|Butler}} departing a second time to gather more missionaries. Returning with twelve companions in 1302,<ref name=Nardi/> he worked in Armenia and [[Persia]]. He debated Armenian Christians he considered heretics at [[Sis (ancient city)|Sis]] in 1305<ref name=Habig/> and participated in the [[Council of Sis]] that notionally reunited the [[Armenian Church|Armenian]] and Roman Catholic churches in 1307.<ref name=Nardi/> While in Persia, two letters dated 1305 and 1306 arrived from [[John of Montecorvino]], the Franciscan missionary to [[Yuan Empire|China]], and Thomas again traveled to Europe, delivering the correspondence to Rome in 1307. While there, he addressed a public [[Papal consistory|consistory]] of the pope and cardinals, praising John's work in China and asking for assistance in developing his mission.<ref name=Habig/> He also discussed the matter with [[Pope Clement V|Clement V]] at [[Poitiers]] in 1308, after which an ecclesiastical hierarchy was established for the Roman Catholics in China.<ref name=Nardi/> The pontiff named John as [[archbishop of Beijing|Archbishop of Khanbaliq]] (now within modern [[Beijing]]) and seven Franciscan bishops and many friars were sent to join him. Only three of the bishops and a few friars, however, successfully completed the journey. Thomas seems to have then travelled a fourth time to Armenia and Persia.<ref name=Habig/>

There is a gap until 1320, during which Thomas may have labored in India or China.{{sfn|Butler}} In 1320, Thomas left from [[Hormuz, Iran|Hormuz]] with his fellow Franciscans Bl. [[James of Padua]] and [[Peter of Siena (died 1321)|Peter of Siena]], the [[Dominican Order|Dominican]] [[Jordan of Severac]], and the layman [[Demetrio da Tifliz]].<ref name=Nardi/> A [[Georgians|Georgian]] or [[Armenians|Armenian]], Demetrius was proficient at languages and served as the group's interpreter.<ref name=Habig/> A storm forced the party to land at [[Thane]]{{sfn|Butler}} on [[Salsette Island]]<ref name=Nardi/> near [[Mumbai]] in [[India]],<ref name=Habig/> en route and were greeted by local Christians of the [[Church of the East]].<ref name=Nardi/>{{efn|Another account exists which claims they had arrived at [[Diu, India|Diu]] intending to missionize at [[Columbum]] and had travelled to Thane on foot.<ref name=Cunha174/>}} Jordan left them to preach at [[Bharuch]], reaching [[Nala Sopara|Sopara]] (see [[Sopara|Sopara in history]]) before he heard Demetrius and the Franciscans had been arrested.<ref name=Cunha174>{{harvp|Cunha|1876|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=xOPlusO8qcAC&pg=PA174 174]}}.</ref> The family with whom they were staying had fallen into a quarrel and the husband had beaten his wife. When she went to the [[qadi]] to report this abuse, she had mentioned the four clerics as witnesses and they were called before him. Thomas, James, and Demetrius had gone to the court while Peter remained behind to look after their things. Having begun a discussion of religion, the qadi had asked them their opinion of [[Muhammad]] and Thomas replied bluntly that he was "the [[son of perdition]] and had his place in [[Christian Hell|Hell]] with the [[Devil]] his father".

'''''Thenali''''' ({{IPAc-en|θ|ɛ|n|ɑː|l|i}}) is a 2000 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[comedy film]] directed and co-written by [[K. S. Ravikumar]]. The film stars [[Kamal Haasan]], [[Jayaram]], [[Devayani (actress)|Devayani]] and [[Jyothika]], with [[Delhi Ganesh]], [[Charle]], [[Ramesh Khanna]] and [[Madhan Bob]] in supporting roles. It revolves around the title character who follows his psychiatrist Kailash on vacation to cure his numerous [[phobia]]s. When Thenali becomes closer to Kailash's family, Kailash becomes increasingly obsessed with getting rid of him.

''Thenali'', inspired by the 1991 American film ''[[What About Bob?]]'', is the first film produced by Ravikumar's company R. K. Celluloids, and the dialogues were written by [[Crazy Mohan]]. It was photographed by [[Priyan]] and edited by K. Thanikachalam, while the music was composed by [[A. R. Rahman]]. The film was shot predominantly in [[Ooty]] and [[Kodaikanal]], while some song sequences were shot in New Zealand.

''Thenali'' was released on 26 October 2000 to positive reviews and became a [[silver jubilee hit]]. The film won three [[Tamil Nadu State Film Awards]], including a [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize|Special Jury]] award for Jayaram's performance, and Ravikumar won the [[Cinema Express Award for Best Director – Tamil]].

== Plot ==
{{more plot|date=January 2022}}

Thenali Soman is a [[Sri Lankan Tamils|Sri Lankan Tamil]] refugee who has come to [[Chennai]] for psychiatric treatment. This is because of numerous [[phobia]]s he has developed due to the [[Sri Lankan civil war]]. B. Pancha Bhootam and his assistant, the doctors treating Thenali, are jealous of a relatively junior doctor Kailash getting all the media attention. They send Thenali over to him, believing his failure to cure Thenali of his phobias will derail his success. Soon after their first appointment, Kailash heads to his home in [[Kodaikanal]] on a vacation with his wife Jalaja and his two children. Kailash tells Thenali to wait until after the vacation before his therapy can begin, but Panchabhootham asks for Thenali to go meet Kailash while on vacation.

Thenali reaches Kailash's house. He falls in love with Janaki, Kailash's younger sister, which is vehemently opposed by the latter. Kailash becomes increasingly mad with Thenali's antics and even begins to suspect that his wife has an affair with Thenali, as she has a soft corner for the latter. He even tries to kill Thenali by tying him to a tree with a [[time bomb]]. Thenali, thinking it is a fake bomb used only to relieve him from his fears, removes it and puts it in Kailash's house for future use where it explodes. Seeing this, Kailash suffers a paralytic attack. Thenali later marries Janaki, during which time he believes Kailash was duped into buying a real bomb.

While Thenali, Kailash, and family are at a picnic, Thenali's long-lost wife whose name is also Janaki shows up and reunites with him. Enraged, Kailash jumps out of his wheelchair and berates Thenali for ruining his sister Janaki's life, but soon realises this was all a set-up by Thenali to cure Kailash's paralysis; the woman was actually actress [[Meena (actress)|Meena]], who Thenali hired to pose as his wife. Kailash realises his mistake and thanks Thenali.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
After the success of [[K. S. Ravikumar]]'s directorial ''[[Padayappa]]'' (1999), [[Kamal Haasan]] approached him, since production on Haasan's ''[[Marudhanayagam]]'' was delayed and he wanted to act in two films in a year. While Haasan planned to direct one himself (''[[Hey Ram]]''), he offered Ravikumar to direct the other, and Ravikumar agreed. Haasan later asked Ravikumar if he would also produce the film. Though Ravikumar was initially in a dilemma, with encouragement from [[Rajinikanth]], who starred in Ravikumar's ''[[Muthu (film)|Muthu]]'' (1995) and ''Padayappa'', he agreed.<ref name="20YearsOfThenali" /> The film thus became the first one produced by Ravikumar's company R. K. Celluloids, with his wife Karpagam handling production duties.<ref name="Sure fire success" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Rajendran |first=Gopinath |date=4 August 2021 |title=Koogle Kuttapa to be a 'wholesome family entertainer' |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/aug/04/koogle-kuttapato-be-a-wholesome-family-entertainer-2339711.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210811050802/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/aug/04/koogle-kuttapato-be-a-wholesome-family-entertainer-2339711.html |archive-date=11 August 2021 |access-date=10 January 2022 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>

Due to Haasan's commitments to ''Hey Ram'' lasting almost a year, Ravikumar spent the time by "writ[ing] a few stories" for him. The title ''Thenali'' was suggested by Rajinikanth for the story that was finalised.<ref name="20YearsOfThenali" /> The core premise, that of the lead character following his reluctant psychiatrist on vacation, was inspired by the American film ''[[What About Bob?]]'' (1991),<ref>{{Cite web |title=From 'Ghajini' to 'Yaan': Remake, inspiration or plagiarism? |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/from-ghajini-to-yaan--remake-inspiration-or-plagiarism-imagegallery-4-kollywood-olzlcaadchibg.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113010421/http://www.sify.com/movies/from-ghajini-to-yaan--remake-inspiration-or-plagiarism-imagegallery-4-kollywood-olzlcaadchibg.html |archive-date=13 November 2017 |access-date=26 July 2017 |website=[[Sify]] |at=slide 5}}</ref> but Ravikumar opted against making a [[shot-for-shot]] adaptation.<ref name="20YearsOfThenali" /> Cinematography was handled by [[Priyan]], art direction by Maniraj, dance choreography by Tarun Kumar and stunt choreography by [[Vikram Dharma]].<ref name="rediff review" />

To emphasise the film's comedy, [[Crazy Mohan]] was hired to write the dialogues.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thenali |url=http://cinematoday2.itgo.com/thenali.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324015108/http://cinematoday2.itgo.com/thenali.htm |archive-date=24 March 2012 |access-date=18 October 2012 |website=Cinematoday2.itgo.com}}</ref> The Sri Lankan broadcaster [[B. H. Abdul Hameed]] subsequently convinced Mohan to change certain dialogue deliveries to incorporate the [[Jaffna Tamil dialect|Jaffna Tamil dialects]] and as a result, Mohan had to trim the dialogues which he wrote beforehand, thinking that could well and truly set with the filmmaking. Hameed played a major role in penning dialogues for scenes involving issues related to [[Sri Lankan civil war in popular culture|Sri Lankan civil conflicts]].<ref name="Wayfarer" />

=== Casting ===

Kamal Haasan played the title character, Thenali Soman.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kamal's Fab Five Comedies |url=https://www.sify.com/movies/kamals-fab-five-comedies-imagegallery-movies-jdwmTsfgbdcsi.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220110084005/https://www.sify.com/movies/kamals-fab-five-comedies-imagegallery-movies-jdwmTsfgbdcsi.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |access-date=10 January 2022 |website=[[Sify]] |at=slide 4}}</ref> He said he chose to do the film "mainly because it was a K.

The idea to create a graphic title card containing this honorific was Ravikumar's, and Haasan relented after initial reluctance. Although Haasan had by then undergone a body transformation for acting in ''[[Aalavandhan]]'' (2001), Ravikumar was unfazed since he only needed Haasan's eyes to be filmed for the title card. The title card begins with Haasan's office in Chennai, then zooms out to show the Earth, which then transforms into one of Haasan's eyeballs, and he winks, with the terms "Universal Hero" and "Ulaga Nayagan" appearing soon after.<ref name="20YearsOfThenali" /> Jyothika's voice was dubbed by [[Savitha Radhakrishnan]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=27 January 2017 |title=Jyothika dubs for herself in Magalir Mattum |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/jan/27/jyothika-dubs-for-herself-in-magalir-mattum-1564149.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220110072504/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/jan/27/jyothika-dubs-for-herself-in-magalir-mattum-1564149.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |access-date=10 January 2022 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref> ''Thenali'' is the 49th film for visual effects supervisor Madhu Sudhanan.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Warrier |first=Shobha |author-link=Shobha Warrier |date=2 November 2004 |title=Be prepared for disappointments |url=https://www.rediff.com/getahead/2004/nov/02ga-slid2.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050118073834/https://www.rediff.com/getahead/2004/nov/02ga-slid2.htm |archive-date=18 January 2005 |access-date=11 January 2022 |website=[[Rediff.com]]}}</ref>

Writing for ''Chennai Online'', Malini Mannath said, "Kamal's perfect timing for comedy, matched equally by Jairam, the antics of Delhi Ganesh and Ramesh Khanna, the humour, some situational, some slapstick, and Crazy Mohan's lines sustain the film for sometime. But then how long can one fool around with a one-line story? The second half has its dragging moments and some forced humour.

'''Navagarh''' is a [[Tirtha (Jainism)|Jain Tirth]] (pilgrimage site for [[Jainism]]) in India. It is located at the Nabai village near Sojna in central India in [[Uttar Pradesh]], just across the border from [[Madhya Pradesh]]. It is 65 km east from Lalitpur and 110 km north from Sagar. This ancient cite was excavated in 1959. It is the only tirth in India where the main deity is the ancient image of Lord [[Aranatha]], preserved in the ancient underground chamber.

==Navagarh Tirth==
[[File:NavagarhSojnaStambha.jpg|thumb|Sojna Stambhas with Upadhyaya images]]
[[File:NavagarhSangrahalaya.jpg|thumb|Ancient artifacts in the sangrahalaya]]

Navagarh is a place full of natural attractive beauty being surrounded by rocky wilderness. It is famous for the exceptionally crafted life size image of Lord ([[Aranatha]]) in standing ([[Kayotsarga]]) posture.<ref>[http://www.virarjun.com/news-359689 नवागढ़ में आस्था का महाकुम्भ 29 से होगा शुरू, Vir Arjun, 21 Jan 2016]</ref><ref>Navagarh Nandpur Itihas, Ed. Br. Jai Kumar Jain Nishant, Shri Dig. Jain Yuvak Sangh Indore, 2016</ref> It is in the [[Chandela]] style and finely polished. It does not have an inscription, but a fragment of a [[Shantinatha]] image from the same chamber has the date samvat 1202.

There are nearby prehistoric rock shelters where Jain monks used to meditate. Some of them contain prehistoric drawings.

==Discovery and development==
In 1940s the site was noted as a collection of ruined sculptures and a set of columns inscribed with Samvat 1203 in a nearby village.<ref>Shri Akhil Bharatvarshiya [[Golapurva]] Directory, Ed. Pt. Mohanlal Jain Kavyatirth, Baraitha, 1941, p. 22, 198</ref> There was a platform under a tree with a large number of ancient Jain historical relics. It was explored by Pt. Gulabchandra Pushpa, an Ayurvedic physician (later famous as a Pratishthacharya) while visiting nearby Mainwar village. The exploration yielded the image of Lord Arnath in an underground chamber, along with a number of intact as well as damages idols. In 1959, systematic development was initiated with the advice of note Jain archaeology expert [[Niraj Jain]] of Satna. Since the spot was in a forest, it was proposed that the main image should be transported to nearby town, however it was opposed by local villagers. In 1990, an initial structure was built with a boundary wall. [[Gajrath]] festivals organized in 1985 and 2011.

It was decided that the image of Lord Arnath should be kept in the same underground chamber ([[Bhonyra]]) which was accessible only though narrow staircases. A spacious chamber was excavated in front of the bhonyra allowing a large space for the worshippers.

The tirth has been visited by Acharyas [[Acharya Vidyasagar|Vidyasagar]], Vardhmansagar, Devnandi, Padmanandi, Viragsagar, Gyansagar, Vishuddhasagar, vibhavasagar as well as a number of other munis and aryikas.

==Historical statues and inscriptions==

In addition to the bhonyra, the compound includes two additional shrines with modern and ancient images and a sangrahalaya, where a large number of historical idols and fragments are preserved. These include idols of Lord Adinath and Lord Parshvanath from early middle age (500-1000 AD).<ref>Niraj Jain, Navagarh, Ek Mahatvapurna Madhyayugin Jain Tirth, Anekanta, year 15, Issue 6, 1962, p. 177-79</ref> Lower fragment of a finely polished black schist Mahavira image dated samvat 1195 (1138 AD) mentions Golapurva Mahichandra, his son Delhan and their family members. Four columns dated samvat 1202 once reused in a reservoir at Sojna are also preserved.

==Development==

The tirth has been developed by Pt. Gulabchandra Pushpa, who has served as a Pratishthacharya for numerous Jain temple installations,<ref>[https://www.bhaskar.com/news/MP-SAG-MAT-latest-sagar-news-042517-1140294-NOR.html?seq=1 गुलाबचंद पुष्प का निधन, संस्कार आज, Bhaskar News Network, Jan 06, 2015]</ref> and is now overseen by his son Br. Jaikumar Jain Nishant, who is also a noted Pratishthacharya.<ref>[http://www.amarujala.com/uttar-pradesh/lalitpur/10-per-cent-of-the-income-donate-acharyashri-hindi-news आय की 10 प्रतिशत राशि दान दें: आचार्यश्री, Amar Ujala, 03 Feb 2016]</ref>

The '''Special Action Force''' (SAF) is a specialized [[Riot police|anti-riot]] and emergency response force formed under the [[Gujarat Police]]. The force was established in February 2024 to control communal riots, maintain public order during civil unrest and respond quickly to emerging law and order situations across the state.<ref>{{Cite web |last=PTI |date=2024-02-21 |title=New cyber crime unit, Special Action Force to be set up in Gujarat: Govt tells Assembly |url=https://theprint.in/india/new-cyber-crime-unit-special-action-force-to-be-set-up-in-gujarat-govt-tells-assembly/1974203/ |access-date=2025-07-14 |website=ThePrint |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Govt announces major revamp in Gujarat police department |url=https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/gujarat/gujarat-government-announces-major-revamp-in-gujarat-police-department |access-date=2025-07-14 |website=english.gujaratsamachar.com |language=en}}</ref>

== History and formation ==
The idea of a Special Action Force was officially announced by Minister of State for Home [[Harsh Sanghavi|Harsh Sanghvi]] during the Budget Session of the [[Gujarat Legislative Assembly]] on 21 February 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=DeshGujarat |date=2024-02-21 |title=Gujarat to develop Special Action Force against communal riots: Sanghavi |url=https://deshgujarat.com/2024/02/21/gujarat-to-develop-special-action-force-against-communal-riots-sanghavi/ |access-date=2025-07-14 |website=DeshGujarat |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=New cyber crime unit Special Action Force to be set up in Gujarat Govt tells Assembly |url=https://www.theweek.in/wire-updates/national/2024/02/21/bom23-gj-assembly-home-department.html |access-date=2025-07-14 |website=The Week |language=en}}</ref> The unit was formed in response to growing concerns about communal unrest and based on the model of the [[Rapid Action Force]] (RAF) of the [[Central Reserve Police Force]] operating at the national level.<ref>{{Cite book |title=ગૃહ વિભાગનું ૨૦૨૪-૨૦૨૫ના વર્ષ માટેનું અંદાજપત |date=February 2, 2024 |publisher=Government of Gujarat |edition=12 |language=Gujarati |trans-title=Budget Estimates of Home Department for 2024–2025}}</ref>

The SAF has been formed from the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) unit of [[Gujarat Police]] into two companies, Group-2 [[Ahmedabad]] and Group-11 [[Surat]], whose personnel have been given advanced training in [[riot control]] and emergency response, which equips them to deal with outbreaks of violence and public unrest quickly and efficiently.

== Objectives ==
The main objectives of the Special Action Force are:

* Maintaining peace and public order during [[communal riots]], protests and violent demonstrations.

[[File:Special Action Force (Gujarat Police).jpg|alt=SAF Commandos during Rathyatra 2025|thumb|SAF Commandos during [[Rath Yatra (Ahmedabad)|Rathyatra]] 2025 ]]

* Assisting with security during politically or communally sensitive events and large public gatherings
* To act as a [[Police tactical unit|Quick Response Team]] to handle sensitive law and order situations anywhere in [[Gujarat]].
* Providing special assistance to local police units in handling emergency situations.
* Enhance the overall riot-control capabilities of [[Gujarat Police]] through modern methods and equipment.

== Organizational structure ==
The Special Action Force currently operates as a specialized unit under the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) of [[Gujarat]]. The unit is operational in SRPF Group-2 [[Ahmedabad]] and Group-11 [[Surat]], with plans to expand to other regions of Gujarat based on operational requirements.

== Training and equipment ==
Personnel involved in the Special Action Force have been given advanced training in riot control and maintaining public order, including:
[[File:Saf(gujarat) uniform.png|alt=SAF|thumb|SAF Uniform]]
* [[Crowd control|Crowd management]] and crowd control techniques Use of non-lethal weapons
* Incident-counter-attack and defensive tactics
* Rescue operations in public disorder situations
* Rapid response strategies

The training curriculum is imparted at the RAPO Meerut training centre on the lines of the [[Rapid Action Force]] of the [[Central Reserve Police Force]] (CRPF), ensuring a professional and effective force in the state police system.

=== Equipment ===
The SAF is equipped with the following equipment:

* [[Water cannon]]s
* Modern riot-control vehicles
* [[Tear gas]] launchers
* Anti-riot protective suits and shields
* [[Body camera]]s and live-feed drones
* Non-lethal weapons and equipment
* Communication and surveillance equipment

This unit operates with a dedicated command and control system for real-time deployment and coordination during emergencies.

== Similar forces from different states ==
The [[Gujarat]] SAF follows a model similar to the [[Rapid Action Force]] (RAF) at the national level and is comparable to specialized state-level forces such as the [[Karnataka Police|Karnataka Police's]] Special Action Force (SAF), which was operationalized in June 2025 to manage communal conflicts in the [[Dakshina Kannada]] and [[Udupi]] regions.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Karnataka Special Action Force to restore communal harmony formally launched |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/karnataka-special-action-force-formed-to-restore-communal-harmony-in-three-districts-says-home-minister-g-parameshwara/article69690661.ece |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260208130653/https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/karnataka-special-action-force-formed-to-restore-communal-harmony-in-three-districts-says-home-minister-g-parameshwara/article69690661.ece |archive-date=2026-02-08 |access-date=2026-02-27 |work=The Hindu |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Communal Peace Drive: Karnataka Launches SAF in Mangaluru to Curb Violence |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/karnataka-unveils-special-action-force-to-tackle-communal-incidents-3584494 |access-date=2026-02-27 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>

== Effectiveness and Achievements ==
'''Operational history''' Since its establishment in 2024, the SAF has conducted rapid-response operations aimed at maintaining public order during communal tensions and large-scale civic actions:

* '''Vadodara (September 2025):''' Deployed to restore and maintain peace following local unrest sparked by a social media post.
* '''Gandhinagar district (Late 2025):''' Deployed to manage and de-escalate clashes similarly triggered by online disputes.
* '''Rajkot (February 2026):''' Deployed alongside other state security forces to maintain law and order during a major Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) demolition drive targeting over 1,400 illegal structures in the Jangleshwar area along the Aji riverbed.<ref>{{cite news |date=21 February 2026 |title=Rajkot civic body plans mega demolition drive along Aji river bank from Monday |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/rajkot-civic-body-mega-demolition-drive-aji-river-bank-10544784/ |access-date=27 February 2026 |work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=24 February 2026 |title=Over 1,000 illegal dwellings razed in Jangleshwar |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/rajkot/over-1000-illegal-dwellings-razed-in-jangleshwar/articleshow/128725986.cms |access-date=27 February 2026 |work=The Times of India}}</ref>

'''Subhashchandra Pandharinath '''"'''Fergie'''"''' Gupte''' ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]: सुभाष गुप्ते) ({{audio|Subhash_Gupte.ogg|pronunciation}}; 11 December 1929 – 31 May 2002) was one of Test cricket's finest [[spin bowling|spin bowlers]]. [[Garfield Sobers|Sir Garry Sobers]], EAS Prasanna and [[Jim Laker]] pronounced him the best [[leg spin]]ner they had seen.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sobers says recent Australian teams aren't the best |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/238823.html |accessdate=24 July 2018 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=27 February 2006 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="CA">{{cite web |last1=Chughtai |first1=Arshad |title=Sobers prefers Gupte over Warne |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Articles/4/4022.html |accessdate=24 July 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801103343/http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Articles/4/4022.html |archivedate=1 August 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Gupte flighted and spun the ball sharply, and possessed two different [[googly|googlies]]. The West Indians who toured India in 1958/9 reckoned, that Gupte could turn the ball on glass. His only drawback perhaps was that he tended to lose confidence when the batsmen attacked his bowling. In the domestic arena, Gupte played for [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]], [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] and [[Rajasthan cricket team|Rajasthan]] in India and for [[Rishton Cricket Club|Rishton]], [[Heywood Cricket Club|Heywood]] and [[Lancaster Cricket Club|Lancaster]] in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |title=Obituary: Subhash Gupte |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1397772/Subhash-Gupte.html |website=The Telegraph |accessdate=24 July 2018 |date=20 June 2002}}</ref> He received the [[C.

==Career==
Gupte made his debut in 1951–52 and from the next season onward took over from [[Vinoo Mankad]] as India's leading spinner. He was nicknamed after the West Indian leg spinner [[Wilfred Ferguson]]. Gupte took 27 wickets in West Indies in 1952–53. At Kanpur in 1958–59, he took nine West Indian wickets in an innings for 102 runs, and had [[Lance Gibbs]] – the only batsman he missed – dropped by wicket keeper [[Naren Tamhane]]. In December 1954, while playing for Bombay against Pakistan Combined Services and Bahawalpur XI, he picked all ten wickets in an innings, returning figures of 10/78.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/30333773/ask-steven-which-indian-batsman-made-hundreds-five-successive-tests-century? |title=Which Indian batsman made hundreds in five successive Tests this century? |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=19 November 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Bombay v Pakistan Combined Services and Bahawalpur XI |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/21/21362.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012123800/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/21/21362.html |archivedate=12 October 2013| publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=24 July 2018}}</ref> In the process, he became the first Indian to take a [[ten-wicket haul]] in first-class cricket.<ref name="CA"/>

He had a successful [[Indian cricket team in Pakistan in 1954–55|tour of Pakistan in 1954–55]] claiming 21 wickets in the five-Test series. Gupte became the second bowler after [[Vinoo Mankad]] to claim 100 Test wickets for India when he dismissed [[Rohan Kanhai]] in the Second Test of [[West Indian cricket team in India in 1958–59|West Indies' 1958–59 tour of India]]. He picked 34 wickets in four Tests, as many as the combined total of all other bowlers, during [[New Zealand cricket team in India in 1955–56|New Zealand's 1955–56 India tour]]. He played his final Test series in Pakistan's [[Pakistani cricket team in India in 1960–61|1960–61 tour of India]] when he appeared in the first three Tests and claimed eight wickets.<ref name="CA"/>

In August 1955, Gupte picked up his second ten-wicket haul in an innings (10/101), playing for [[Rishton Cricket Club|Rishton]] in the final of the [[Lancashire League (cricket)|Lancashire League]] Worsley Cup against [[Todmorden Cricket Club|Todmorden]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Todmorden v Rishton, Lancashire League Worsley Cup 1955 (Final) |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/21/21744.html |publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=25 July 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102164559/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/21/21744.html |archivedate=2 November 2013}}</ref> In June 1956, while playing against [[Accrington Cricket Club|Accrington]] in the Lancashire League, he claimed two [[Hat-trick|hat-tricks]] in one inning's returning figures of 8/19 in 7.3 overs.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hat-trick Twice in Innings |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-may-25-1956-p-12/ |accessdate=24 July 2018 |agency=[[Reuters]] |publisher=[[The Gleaner (newspaper)|The Gleaner]] |date=25 May 1956 |page=12}}</ref>

=== Career-ending controversy ===
Gupte's international career ended under controversial circumstances during [[English cricket team in India, Pakistan and Ceylon in 1961–62|England's 1961–62 tour of India]]. During the Third Test at the [[Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium|Feroz Shah Kotla]] in [[Delhi]], the team stayed at [[The Imperial, New Delhi|the Imperial hotel]], where Gupte was housed in room number 7 along with teammate [[A. G. Kripal Singh]]. During the stay, a receptionist at the hotel lodged a complaint with the India team manager against inmates of that room, accusing them of calling her over after her shift finished. The pair denied the allegation, with Gupte, who was married at the time, explaining that Singh had merely called and asked for drinks to be brought up.<ref name="cricinfo1">{{cite web |last1=Williamson |first1=Martin |title=Dropped over a drink |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/397040.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=24 July 2018 |language=en |date=28 March 2009}}</ref>

The matter was taken up by the authorities seriously before both were suspended from the team. Gupte later recollected that, [[M. A. Chidambaram]], the [[List of presidents of the Board of Control for Cricket in India|President]] of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] during the time, did not give him a hearing in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], the venue of the Fourth Test, as promised. The hearing was eventually held in [[Chennai|Madras]] where the [[India national cricket team selectors|selectors]] and the BCCI met to pick the squad for the [[Indian cricket team in the West Indies in 1961–62|tour of the Caribbean]]. Gupte was reprimanded by the BCCI secretary A. N. Ghosh for having not stopped Singh from making the call, to which he replied, "He is a big man. How can I stop him?". Both players were dropped from the squad for the tour, and Gupte never played for India again.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wadhwaney |first1=K.

In 1981/82, a benefit match was held for Gupte in [[Sharjah]]. In 2002, he named Australia's [[Neil Harvey]] as the "toughest batsman" he had bowled to.<ref>{{cite news |title=Gupte: Kumble's experience should have been utilised |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/111422.html |accessdate=24 July 2018 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=28 April 2002 |language=en}}</ref>

==Personal life==

Via the [[The Paper Currency Act, 1861|Paper Currency Act of 1861]], the British Government of India was conferred the monopoly to issue paper notes in India.<ref name=":0" /> It was liquidated in 1830–1832.<ref name=":0" />

Vellanathuruthu

'''Vellanathuruthu''' is a serene coastal area and island village located in the [[Alappad|Alappadu Panchayat]] of the [[Kollam district|Kollam District]] in Kerala. It is known for its distinct geography, rich mineral deposits, and significant environmental challenges, primarily related to industrial sand mining. Vellanathuruthu is in the Kollam District along the southwest coast of India. It is situated in the environmentally sensitive [[Neendakara]] – [[Kayamkulam]] coastal stretch. The area is a micro-tidal coast. The shoreline orientation changes in this region, with noticeable dents and caving in of the beach at the Vellanathuruthu mining site due to high-energy waves and human activities.

The region is an important ecological habitat, particularly recognized as an bird hotspot that attracts various bird species, including migratory shorebirds like the endangered Great Knot, during their seasonal visits. The local environment is vital for maintaining the balance of the coastal ecosystem.<ref>{{cite web |title=An unusual visitor flies in |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/An-unusual-visitor-flies-in/article14013896.ece |website=The Hindu |language=en-IN |date=21 January 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Bureau |first1=The Hindu |title=Asian Waterbird Census records 11,470 birds of 83 species in Kollam |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/asian-waterbird-census-records-11470-birds-of-83-species-in-kollam/article67807628.ece |website=The Hindu |language=en-IN |date=3 February 2024}}</ref>

== Black sand mining ==

Vellanathuruthu sits on a globally renowned stretch of the Chavara coast that contains rich placer deposits, or "[[black sand]]," which are abundant in heavy minerals like ilmenite, zircon, rutile, monazite, garnet, and sillimanite. The primary industrial activity is heavy mineral sand mining, conducted by state-owned companies such as [[Indian Rare Earths|Indian Rare Earths Ltd]]. (IREL) and [[Kerala Minerals and Metals|Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd]]. (KMML) since the mid-20th century. Rampant and unsustainable sand mining has led to severe coastal erosion<ref>{{cite web |last1=Correspondent |first1=D. C. |title=Kollam: Alappad coast faces sea wrath {{!}} Kollam: Alappad coast faces sea wrath |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/220719/kollam-alappad-coast-faces-sea-wrath.html |website=www.deccanchronicle.com |language=en |date=22 July 2019}}</ref> and a retreating shoreline. Studies have indicated that the mining rate exceeds the natural replenishment rate of the sand, causing the shoreline to cave in by as much as 120–200 meters in critical locations.<ref>{{cite web |title=It's mining, not tsunami, stupid, says Assembly report on Alappad |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2019/01/15/alappad-erosion-due-to-mining-mining-not-tsunami-assembly-report.html |website=It's mining, not tsunami, stupid, says Assembly report on Alappad |language=en}}</ref>

== Equatorial launching station ==
When selecting the location for India's first rocket launch site, a team led by [[Vikram Sarabhai]] considered several places. They nearly settled on Vellanathuruthu in Kollam, as surveys showed the [[magnetic equator]] passed directly through it. However, the location was ultimately rejected due to its name. Upon learning that "Vellanathuruthu" translates to "White Elephant Sand Bar," Sarabhai became concerned the government would view the project as a "[[white elephant]]" (a costly, useless endeavor) and decided against it. Thumba was then chosen as the final site for what is now the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kumar |first1=Aswin J. |title=A VILLAGE THAT REACHED FOR THE STARS |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/tracking-indian-communities/a-village-that-reached-for-the-stars/?source=app&frmapp=yes |website=The Times of India}}</ref>

Raja Sivaprasad

2026-01-06T05:21:41Z

DIGITALBIRJESH: started a post from scratch

Raja '''Śivaprasāda''' or '''Shivaprasad''' [[Order of the Star of India|C.S.I]] Sitara-e-Hind ("Star of India") (3 February 1823 – 23 May 1895) was an Indian scholar, linguist and historian. He was the title of Raja and old documents use the titular name or the prefix "babu", a term used for native Indian officers employed by the British Indian government. Born in [[Varanasi|Banaras]] he is known for the three-volume work on the history of India titled "Itihāsa timiranāśaka". He also translated several books from English to Hindi.<ref>{{cite book|page=404|title=A global history of history|author=Woolf, Daniel|year=2011|publisher=Cambridge University Press}}</ref>

Sivaprasad was born in a Parmar family that converted to Jainism and the Oswal caste that originated in [[Ranthambore Fort|Ranthambore]]. When Ranthambor was besieged by Allauddin Khilji in the 13th century, the family moved several times, first to Ahmedabad, then to Champaner and finally to Khambat. One member of the family line, Amar Datt, gifted [[Shah Jahan]] a diamond and received the title of ''Ray''. Sivaprasad's grandfather moved to Banaras and his father Gopichand died when he was eleven. His early education was from his grandmother, Bibi Ratan Kuar.

An anti-European upbringing led to him choosing, at the age of seventeen, to work for the Bharatpur Maharajah as a Vakil in the court of Colonel [[James Sutherland (commissioner)]], Governor-General's agent at Ajmer. He quickly resigned after finding the durbar "rotten". He then worked for [[Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst|Lord Hardinge]]'s camp at Firozpur and was so impressed by the conditions that he swore never to serve under a native ruler again. He then worked for the British as a Mir Munshi in the Simla agency. He rose to become a Joint-Inspector for Schools in 1856. In May, 1870, he was conferred the Companionship of the most exalted Star of India or "Sitar-e-Hind" and the hereditary title of "Raja" in March 1874.<ref name=encycl /><ref name=grierson>{{cite book|pages=148–152|url= https://archive.org/stream/cu31924023098589#page/n197/mode/2up|title=The modern vernacular literature of Hindustan|author=Grierson, George A.|publisher=Asiatic Society of Bengal|place=Calcutta|year=1889}}</ref>

Sivaprasad submitted a memorandum in 1868, ''Court Characters in the Upper Provinces of India'', in which he pointed out that Urdu characters required interpretation and that the phonemes could easily be altered by minor changes to the strokes causing major changes in meaning. He suggested that this could permit legal documents to be altered or forged and proposed therefore the use of [[Nāgarī script|Nagari scripts]] in courts.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Scripting a new identity: The battle for Devanagari in nineteenth century India|author=Ahmad, Rizwan|journal=Journal of Pragmatics|volume=40|issue=7|year=2008|pages=1163–1183|url=https://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00urduhindilinks/txt_rizwan_ahmad_scripting.pdf|doi=10.1016/j.pragma.2007.06.005}}</ref> The period from 1845 to 1870 of Hindi printed literature was greatly influenced by Sivaprasad.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Govi|first=K.M.|last2=Govi|first2=Pushpaveni|date=1988|title=Major Bibliographies of Indian Literature|jstor=24159343|journal=Indian Literature|volume=31|issue=4 (126)|pages=131–138}}</ref>

In 1875, with regard to the [[Hindi-Urdu language]], Raja Shiva Prasad wrote ''Urdu Sarf O Nahr'', in which he argued that "attempts of the Maulavis to Persianize and of the Pandits to Sanskritize the language were not only an error but against the laws of linguistic growth" as the "common man, he pointed out, used both Persian and Sanskrit words without any qualms".<ref name="Das2005">{{cite book |author1=[[Sisir Kumar Das]] |title=History of Indian Literature |date=2005 |publisher=[[Sahitya Akademi]] |isbn=978-81-7201-006-5 |page=142 |language=English}}</ref>

Sivaprasad was proficient in Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Sanskrit, Bengali and English, and edited the news periodicals ''Banaras akhbaar'' and ''Simla akhbaar''. He also contributed poems to the ''Awadh akhbaar'' and published thirty-five books. He was a promoter of the Hindi language, particularly the version known as ''[[Khariboli dialect|khari boli]]'' and popularized the use of the Nagari script. He made full use of Arabic and Persian words in his writings,<ref name=encycl>{{cite book|page=4025|title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature. Volume 5|author=Lal, Mohan| publisher=Sahitya Akademi|year=2006}}</ref><ref name=grierson /> originally supporting the case for a more Sanskritized Hindi but then "later advocated a Persianzed style of Hindi".<ref name="Das2005"/>

'''''Oreichthys crenuchoides''''' is a small (~2.5" TL) [[cyprinid]] found in [[Assam]], [[India]]. It is imported for the aquarium trade under the name neon highfin barb or high-fin variable barb. It is an atypical ''Oreichthys'' in that the face is more rounded than in ''[[Oreichthys cosuatis|O. cosuatis]]'' and other ''Oreichthys'' species.<ref name=FB>{{FishBase species |genus= Oreichthys |species= crenuchoides | month = November| year = 2014}}</ref>

They are strictly freshwater, and are found in ditches, ponds and streams.

==Taxonomic Issues==
The name '''''Oreichthys umangii''''' under which it was known in the aquarium trade, is not an available scientific name under the [[International Code of Zoological Nomenclature]], and must not be used as such. The name was introduced in an aquarium book (Tekriwal et al., 1995), but without accompanying description, and was intended to honor Umang Tekriwal (1975-11-14 to 1996-04-19), son of ''Ornamental Aquarium Fishes of India'' co-author Kishori Tekriwal.

== History ==

In 1969, the [[Reformed Presbyterian Church of India]] established the Dehradun Presbyterian Theological Seminary, which, unlike other Presbyterian theological institutions in India, rejected [[Theological liberalism]] and subscribed to the [[Westminster Confession of Faith]].<ref name=SPR/>

In the following decades, various [[Presbyterian]] and [[Continental Reformed Church|Continental Reformed]] denominations began to send their pastors for seminary training.

This training of pastors of various denominations in the same seminary led to a rapprochement between them and the formation of the Reformed and Presbyterian Fellowship of India in 2001.<ref name=REF1>{{cite web|url=http://wrfnet.org/articles/2010/02/reformed-presbyterian-fellowship-meets-kolkata-india#.YbuqUmjMLIU|title=Presbyterian and Reformed Fraternity of India| accessdate = December 16, 2021}}</ref><ref name=SPR>{{cite web|url=https://wrf.global/blog/blog-3/presbyterian-theological-seminary-dehradun-india-retrospective| title =History of the Theological Seminary Presbyterianism of India| accessdate = December 20, 2021}}</ref>
