The group Samahaara under the guidance of Rathna Shekar Reddy is credited with making theatre popular and involving the young crowd in Hyderabad.

The festival has been instrumental in bringing together the various amateur and professional theatre groups in Hyderabad and improving the quality and scale of the plays. The platform of HTF as it is abbreviated has been a great boost for theatre groups in Hyderabad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;telanganatoday.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of Samahaara&#039;s stand-alone productions are performed at various auditoriums across the city, including the open-cultural center [[Lamakaan]], the iconic [[Ravindra Bharathi]], Telugu University and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. HTF 2009 was held in June 2009 at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, HTF 2010 was conducted at [[Ravindra Bharathi]] in July 2010 for 7 days, and HTF 2011 was conducted in December 2011 at three venues: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, [[Ravindra Bharathi]] and Taramati Baradari.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.cluburb.com/culture/art/2887-hyderabad-theater-festival-hyderabad-2011 |title=Hyderabad Theater Fest 2011 |accessdate=2014-03-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121126171855/http://www.cluburb.com/culture/art/2887-hyderabad-theater-festival-hyderabad-2011 |archivedate=26 November 2012 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Another project, the Samahaara Theatre Cooperative, involves selecting a group of actors, providing them with training, and offering opportunities to perform on stage over the course of a year.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;telanganatoday.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With his performances and mentorship, he has touched hearts throughout the city and can be cited as largely responsible for the increasing interest in theatre in Hyderabad visible in the last few years. Youngsters in Hyderabad are now able to find a mentor to learn from, and Reddy has created a platform for them to develop and display their talent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web | title=Art lovers:Hyderabad Theatre Festival | url=http://cityplus.jagran.com/city-news/art-lovers-hyderabad-theatre-festival_1359615864.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304162154/http://cityplus.jagran.com/city-news/art-lovers-hyderabad-theatre-festival_1359615864.html | access-date=2025-02-18 | archive-date=2014-03-04}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Other theatre groups in the city have recognized the contribution of Samahaara and Rathna Shekar by crediting a surge in audience interest to him and to Samahaara&#039;s annual Hyderabad Theatre Festival.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/Options-aplenty-for-theatre-lovers/2014/07/18/article2335528.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140720053944/http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/Options-aplenty-for-theatre-lovers/2014/07/18/article2335528.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 July 2014|title=Options aplenty for theatre lovers|publisher=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Also the continued efforts in educating and training people in theatre has seen a dramatic rise in interest from the audience.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2014/11/28/Evoking-the-Creative-Spirit/article2543801.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150504225145/http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2014/11/28/Evoking-the-Creative-Spirit/article2543801.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 May 2015|title=Evoking the Creative Spirit|publisher=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Padderi&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Padari&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang|bhd|पाडरी}} {{lang|bhd-Latn|pāḍrī}}) is a language spoken in the [[Padar (Jammu and Kashmir)|Padar valley]] in [[Kishtwar district]] in the Indian union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. It is classified as a member of the [[Western Pahari]] branch of the [[Indo-Aryan languages]].{{sfn|Kaul|2006a|pp=63, 85}} It is very similar to the [[Pangwali]] language of [[Pangi Valley|Pangi]], [[Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Bhadarwahi language|Bhaderwahi]] language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Padar valley is about 80 km long, the terrain is rugged and mountainous, and the population is found mainly in scattered hamlets, with the main village being [[Atholi, Kishtwar|Atholi]].{{sfn|Kaul|2006a|p=63}} The number of speakers, as of the 1981 census, stood at {{sigfig|10039|2}}.{{sfn|Kaul|2006a|p=64}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Padri shares a large proportion of its vocabulary with other Western Pahari varieties (like Bhadarwahi and [[Sarazi|Siraji]]).{{sfn|Kaul|2006a|p=67}} There are two [[Grammatical gender|genders]]: masculine and feminine (there is no neuter). Nouns change for [[Grammatical case|case]], but not normally for number. However, some nouns do have plurals, which are formed using a variety of strategies:{{sfn|Kaul|2006a|pp=67–69}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Phonology ==&lt;br /&gt;
P.K. Koul mentions several series of &amp;quot;complex sounds&amp;quot;. One such series consists of a consonant + &#039;&#039;y&#039;&#039; (for example {{lang|bhd|khyaḍaṇ|italic=yes}} &#039;to play&#039;, {{lang|bhd|syavā|italic=yes}} &#039;apple&#039;), and another one involves a consonant + &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039; (as in {{lang|bhd|kvatar|italic=yes}} &#039;dog&#039;, {{lang|bhd|lvanaṇ|italic=yes}} &#039;to sort&#039;), but it is unclear whether these are [[co-articulated consonant]]s (involving [[palatalised consonant|palatalisation]] and [[labialisation]] respectively) or merely sequences of two separate consonants. Another set of distinctive sounds (shared with neighbouring Bhadarwahi dialects, where they are even more widespread) involve a combination of a [[retroflex stop]] + the lateral &#039;&#039;l&#039;&#039;:  &#039;&#039;ṭ͡lai&#039;&#039; &#039;three&#039;, &#039;&#039;niḍ͡l&#039;&#039;  &#039;sleep&#039;, &#039;&#039;ḍ͡lau&#039;&#039; &#039;village&#039;. These often correspond to clusters of a consonant + &#039;&#039;r&#039;&#039; in the ancestor language (compare the Sanskrit equivalents of the above three words: &#039;&#039;trīṇi-&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;nidrā-&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;grāma-&#039;&#039;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Kaul|2006a|pp=66–67}}; {{harvnb|Kaul|2006b|pp=12–13}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===1983-2006===&lt;br /&gt;
Before 1982, international cricket matches in [[Ahmedabad]] were played at [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Navrangpura|Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium]] in [[Navarangpura|Navrangpura]], owned by the [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1982, the Government of [[Gujarat]] allocated a {{convert|100|acre|m2|adj=on|order=flip}} stretch of land on the banks of the [[Sabarmati River]] to build a new stadium. Construction of the stadium was completed in nine months.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;htold2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |date=10 December 2016 |title=Why Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad will make cricket history |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210175135/http://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html |archive-date=10 December 2016 |access-date=10 December 2016 |newspaper=Hindustan Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The venue was originally known simply as Gujarat Stadium; however, it was soon renamed Sardar Patel Stadium (not to be confused with the previously mentioned site in Navrangpura), after [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]], India&#039;s first [[home minister]] and [[Deputy Prime Minister of India|deputy prime minister]]. Since its completion, all international cricket fixtures in [[Ahmedabad]] have been held at the site.

Sardar Patel Stadium hosted one game each in the [[1987 Cricket World Cup|1987]] and [[1996 Cricket World Cup|1996 World Cups]], including the first match of the 1996 World Cup between [[England cricket team|England]] and [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]].&lt;br /&gt;

In 2006, the stadium became the focal venue of the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy|ICC Champions Trophy]] and hosted five of the 15 games played. In preparation for the tournament, the stadium was renovated to add three new pitches and a new outfield. Floodlights and covered stands were also introduced at the stadium as a part of the renovation program.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=India vs England 2021.

&lt;br /&gt;
===2014–2020 (Demolition and construction of New Stadium)===&lt;br /&gt;
The idea to build a new stadium was proposed by [[Narendra Modi]] himself who was the president of the [[Gujarat Cricket Association]] and the Chief Minister of Gujarat at the same time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Oza |first=Nandini |date=6 October 2019 |title=The recond-buster |url=https://www.theweek.in/theweek/sports/2019/10/25/the-record-buster.html |access-date=9 September 2024 |work=The Week}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:112&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Shortly before Modi moved to Delhi after becoming the [[Prime Minister of India|prime minister of India]], there were discussions about adding minor upgrades to the stadium and further developing areas of the structure at the pavilion end.

&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2015, the stadium was demolished for reconstruction, though some media referred to it as a renovation. The total cost of reconstruction was estimated to be [[Indian Rupee|₹]]700 [[Indian numbering system|crores]] ({{INRConvert|7|b}}).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2015-09-11 |title=Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera to undergo facelift |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/sardar-patel-stadium-to-undergo-facelift/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220924191129/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/sardar-patel-stadium-to-undergo-facelift/ |archive-date=24 September 2022 |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2017-01-16 |title=Foundation stone laid at Ahmedabad for &#039;world&#039;s largest cricket stadium&#039; |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/foundation-stone-laid-at-ahmedabad-for-worlds-largest-cricket-stadium-4477385/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125142536/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/foundation-stone-laid-at-ahmedabad-for-worlds-largest-cricket-stadium-4477385/ |archive-date=25 November 2022 |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the final cost was reported at {{INRConvert|800|c}}.

It is also the lowest range (also known as the Naga Foothills) and borders [[Assam]], an Indian state. The range is first encountered by travellers along the Mokokchung-Mariani road at the Nagaland Gate (or the Tzütapela Gate, in Local Dialect). It consists of villages like Ao Senden, Ao Sungkhum, [[Chungtiayimsen]] (or New Chungtia), Watiyim, Longpayimsen, Moayimti, Medemyim, Longtho, etc. On penetrating deeper into the Hills, this range ultimately gives way to the [[Japukong]] and [[Changkikong]] ranges. Its nearest sub-district headquarters is the town of [[Mangkolemba]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Early life and career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Sanjay Patil spent his childhood at his uncle&#039;s home in [[Shiroda, Goa|Shiroda]], about 20 km from his village, where he attended school and learned farming activities. After completing his education up to the eleventh class, Patil worked for four years at the Goa Bagayatdar Society. He then resigned to pursue his goal of natural farming.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Padma Shri to Goa&#039;s innovative farmer Sanjay Anant Patil |url=https://www.daijiworld.com/index.php/news/newsDisplay?newsID=1185716 |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=www.daijiworld.com |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patil&#039;s farming journey began in 1986. He spent initial years experimenting with various farming methods. He then traveled to Gujarat to learn about natural farming processes and returned to Goa to work on these practices. He has transformed a 10-acre plot into a farm with technical guidance from ICAR-CCARI, Goa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=ICARGOA |url=https://ccari.icar.gov.in/PADMASHRISANJAYPATIL2024.html |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=ccari.icar.gov.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Based on a novel of the same name by [[Shaktipada Rajguru]], it stars [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in his debut in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]], alongside [[Rakhee Gulzar]], [[Amjad Khan (actor)|Amjad Khan]], [[Utpal Dutt]] and [[Abhi Bhattacharya]] in lead roles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://indiablooms.com/showbiz-details/B/8627/amitabh-bachchan-turns-nostalgic-as-barsaat-ki-ek-raat-completes-37-years-of-release.html|title=Amitabh Bachchan turns nostalgic as Barsaat Ki Ek Raat completes 37 years of release|website=indiablooms.com|date=19 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.femina.in/celebs/indian/the-life-and-times-of-rakhee-gulzar-108351.html|title=The life and times of Rakhee Gulzar|website=Femina|author=Hemchhaya De|date=27 October 2018|access-date=1 March 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.latestly.com/entertainment/bollywood/50-years-of-amitabh-bachchan-twitterati-celebrates-golden-jubilee-of-the-legendary-actor-in-bollywood-645309.html|title=50 Years of Amitabh Bachchan in Bollywood: Twitterati Celebrates Golden Jubilee of the Legendary Actor in Bollywood|website=latestly.com|date=15 February 2019|access-date=1 March 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film follows Inspector Abhijeet Rai in search of Kaliram, a criminal whom he arrested five years ago, after his pregnant wife gets injured by the latter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film marks the second collaboration between Samanta and Bachchan. Majorly filmed in [[Darjeeling]], some portions of the film were shot in [[Kolkata]] and [[Mumbai]]. Music of the film is composed by [[R. D. Burman]], with lyrics penned by [[Gauriprasanna Mazumder]] and [[Anand Bakshi]] in Bengali and Hindi respectively. Rajguru himself wrote the screenplay of both the versions, while [[Prabhat Roy]] and [[Kamleshwar (writer)|Kamleshwar]] served as the dialogue writers. Aloke Dasgupta and Bijoy Chowdhury handled its cinematography and editing respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the Bengali film, Bachchan himself dubbed his own voice, whereas he learned the lingual pronunciation from Prabhat Roy and [[Jaya Bachchan|Jaya Bhaduri]], his wife. The film is remembered for the classic songs &amp;quot;Haye Re Pora Banshi, &amp;quot;Amar Swapno Je&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Phete Gelo Kaliramer Dhol&amp;quot;. The first song was remade by the Bombay Bicycle Club and the second was used in the international song Funky Bijou Anthem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Takdah|Takdah tea estate]] in [[Darjeeling]], Hariya Sahu ([[Utpal Dutt]]), famous as Sahuji, is a merchant who has woven a web of corruption in every layer of the social fabric. He supplies materials of inferior quality to the tea garden, and then bribes the accountants to pass his bills. When one of the managers Suresh ([[Abhi Bhattacharya]]), who is also known as Boro Babu, resists, Sahuji pays the workers to go on a strike against the Boro Babu. Besides, he is also involved in rampant smuggling of goods across the border, and everyone from the local jeweler to the local police inspector are part of his intricate web.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the father has created a position of influence by spreading corruption, his son Kaaliram ([[Amjad Khan (actor)|Amjad Khan]]) has ushered in a reign of terror. He goes to local bars, drinks, and doesn&#039;t pay. Anyone standing in his way gets beaten up mercilessly, either by him or his thugs. After getting sufficiently intoxicated, he then indulges in carnal desire by forcefully taking away any of the unmarried village girls for a night of merriment. If the poor girl&#039;s parents try to fight back, their house is set on fire. Desperate villagers make a plea to the owner of the tea garden, who calls (presumably) the higher ups in police force and they promise to send someone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next day, while crossing a bridge, Kaaliram and his thugs meet a mysterious stranger on a mule, whose face is completely covered in a [[Sombrero]]-type hat popular in that region. The stranger, named Abhijeet ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]), doesn&#039;t seem to be aware of Kaali&#039;s reputation and has no hesitation in fighting back strongly. Kaali vows to take revenge, but on a number of subsequent encounters, including a drum-playing competition during [[Durga Puja]], Kaali loses to Abhijeet every time. However, the ever so loyal police inspector ([[Asit Sen (actor)|Asit Sen]]), always comes to his rescue and prevents him from being sent to jail. However, Kaali&#039;s frustration grows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the meanwhile, Abhijeet meets and falls in love with Tamosha (in [[Bengali language|Bengali]]) or Rajni (in [[Hindi]]) ([[Rakhee Gulzar]]), the blind daughter of the Boro Babu. One rainy night, Kaali attempts to [[Sexual abuse|molest]] Tamosha, but Abhijeet comes to her rescue. When the police inspector again attempts to drag his feet, Abhijeet erupts in anger, shows his identity as a very high level police officer, throws Kaali into jail, and suspends the police officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhijeet marries Tamosha and they settle down in a quaint little village named Sonarpur, awaiting the birth of their first child. Meanwhile, Kaali gets out of jail and finds the whereabouts of Abhijeet and Tamosha. He sends Abhijeet away from home by making a fake call for help, and then, enters Abhijeet&#039;s home and attacks Tamosha, causing her to [[Miscarriage|miscarry]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A clue found outside the house ties Kaali with the incident, and Abhijeet confronts him. However, as he is about to drag the handcuffed Kaali to the police station, Sahuji, in an attempt to shoot Abhijeet, ends up killing his son. The story ends with justice, divine and otherwise, presumed to have been served to all (except the unborn child).&lt;br /&gt;

Gopal is a popular veterinarian and has four animals in his house : the elephant Chellappa (fan of Super Star Rajinikanth), the dog Bhairavan (fan of Ulaga Nayagan Kamalahasan), the monkey Ramu (fan of Ungal Sathyaraj) and the horse Madurai Veeran(fan of Captain Vijayakanth). Nandu spends a lot of time with her animals, she considers them like her friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, the criminal Jagannath ask Gopal to put two tubes (containing top secret information) in his horses&#039; belly. Jagannath has to send the horses to [[Hong Kong]] as soon as possible. Gopal refuses to perform surgery on horses in good health and he doesn&#039;t want to break the law. Jagannath has no other choice than to kidnap Gopal&#039;s daughter. Jagannath&#039;s henchmen kidnap both of his daughters and they lock them up in a room. Sindhu and Nandu realise that they are sisters, and flee away from the place thanks to Nandu&#039;s animals. The girls hide the tubes behind a huge [[Mariamman]] statue. The girls want to unite their parents, so the twins swap their places to convince their parents. In the meantime, Jagannath is urged to recover the tubes. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Doubles&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a 2000 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[comedy film]] written and directed by [[Pandiarajan]], who also played a guest appearance in the film. Produced by [[K. Rajan (producer)|K. Rajan]], the film stars [[Prabhu Deva]], [[Meena (actress)|Meena]], and [[Sangeetha Krish|Sangeetha]], while [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]], [[Manivannan]], and [[Kovai Sarala]] play supporting roles. The film&#039;s score and soundtrack are composed by debutant [[Srikanth Deva]]. The film was released on 11 August 2000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie starts projecting Prabhu as a shopkeeper who sells toys to kids. He does all possible crazy actions in the world, which really irritates everyone. He has many bad habits, such as drinking and smoking. Prabhu marries Meena, but she wants her husband to be like Sree Ram. Prabhu acts as if he is a nice guy and also gets caught a few times when he tries to overact. Sangeetha, Meena&#039;s close friend, comes and stays with Meena as she is doing her final year in Madras Medical College. Prabhu had earlier pinched Sangeetha&#039;s hip when she was travelling on a bus. He gets slapped by Sangeetha and was thrown from that bus before she meets him. Sangeetha takes the task of seducing Prabhu to prove that he is a womaniser to Meena and fails in many attempts. The film ends as Meena dies of jaundice and Prabhu realising that his true love was only for Meena. Sangeetha marries Ganapathy, who comes for one scene in the ending.&lt;br /&gt;

== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Tamil Star&#039;&#039; wrote, &amp;quot;Pandiyarajan seems confused about how to handle Doubles. The ultimate moral he has tried to convey through the movie is that one must be faithful to one&#039;s wife. But he doesn&#039;t seem to be clear on the story to convey it through, the tone to adopt, or even the character of the hero. So we get a movie with a one-line story that is chock-full of double entendres for the most part but ends with an attempt at cheap sentiments&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Movie: Doubles |url=http://www.tamilstar.com/reviews/doubles/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050824115703/http://www.tamilstar.com/reviews/doubles/ |archive-date=24 August 2005 |access-date=23 August 2022 |website=Tamil Star}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krishna Chidambaram of &#039;&#039;[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]&#039;&#039; wrote though the story is rather dull, the humorous touch throughout the film makes its presentation interesting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite magazine |last=சிதம்பரம் |first=கிருஷ்ணா |date=27 August 2000 |title=டபுள்ஸ் |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2000-08-27/page/n33/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230702114414/https://archive.org/details/kalki2000-08-27/page/n33/mode/2up |archive-date=2 July 2023 |access-date=2 July 2023 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |page=32 |language=ta |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; K.

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rambhau Mhalgi.jpg|thumb|left|Rambhau Mhalgi]]&lt;br /&gt;
RMP [[Politics|government leadership]] training mission was implemented first at the behest of parliamentarian [[Rambhau Mhalgi]]. Mhalgi was influenced by RSS thinker and BJP leader [[Deendayal Upadhyaya]], who had conceived the idea of a learning  establishment for [[Politician|government leadership]] aspirants and current [[Politician|government leader]]s of [[India]].&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;amp;gt; In 1982, [[Pramod Mahajan]], senior BJP leader, opened Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini at [[Keshav Srushti]] campus at [[Uttan|Uttan village]], near [[Mira-Bhayandar|Bhayandar]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://theprint.in/opinion/why-indias-opposition-parties-dont-have-good-orators/259962/|title=Why India&#039;s opposition parties don&#039;t have good orators|last=Vij|first=Shivam|date=2019-07-08|website=ThePrint|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-07}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, [https://www.inditales.com/rambhau-mhalgi-prabodhini-mumbai/ &amp;quot;Inditales&amp;quot;]&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2020, the [[Indian National Congress|Congress party]] objected to training government officials at RMP citing right-wing political leaning of RMP.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://maharashtratimes.com/maharashtra/mumbai-news/senior-officers-in-mumbai-university-are-getting-training-in-rambhau-mhalgi-prabodhini-congress-objected/articleshow/73812396.cms|title=&#039;म्हाळगी प्रबोधिनी&#039;मध्ये अधिकाऱ्यांना धडे; काँग्रेसचा आक्षेप|website=Maharashtra Times|language=mr|access-date=2020-04-07}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/cover-story/mumbai-university-calls-off-staff-training-at-rss-led-institute/articleshow/73857888.cms|title=Mumbai University calls off staff training at RSS-led institute|last1=Dhupkar|first1=Alka|last2=Gaikwad|first2=Rahi|website=Mumbai Mirror|language=en|access-date=2020-04-07|date=Feb 2, 2020}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Studies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini]] has undertaken field-based research programmes on socio-political and internal security issues. Among these was an on-the-spot study of the [[Salwa Judum]]&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Citation |title=Salwa Judum |date=2026-01-30 |work=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salwa_Judum&amp;amp;amp;oldid=1335611557 |access-date=2026-02-18 |language=en}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; movement in [[Chhattisgarh]] carried out by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and media professionals. The study sought to document conditions in affected regions and understand local responses to the anti-[[Naxalism|Naxalite]] mobilisation. Participants visited villages and relief camps as part of the field assessment. The team included [[journalist]] Sarita Kaushik, who had reported extensively from central [[India]].

=== Luqman series ===&lt;br /&gt;
Luqman Ali is another fascinated character, fictitious and yet so real. Luqman was invented by the poet [[Soumitra Mohan]] as a character perpetually in search of himself. By way of fantasy, Luqman attempts to overcome childhood fears, his inadequacies, and contradictions. Luqman is hero and villain, active and passive, with positive and negative shades, challenged by mysterious forces and unknown enemies. Often hounded by his own shadow and apparition, he tries but fails to cut his desire with a sword or protect his moral life through sheer physical power. A trickster of sorts, a dreamer at times, Luqman for Jai represents the duality of life, the friction between good and evil, escapes and surrender.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|author=NH Web Desk|date=2021-10-11|title=First edition of Jai Imprint launched to celebrate life and work of versatile painter and poet Jai Zharotia|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/art/first-edition-of-jai-imprint-launched-to-celebrate-life-and-work-of-versatile-painter-and-poet-jai-zharotia|access-date=2021-11-24|website=National Herald|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Jai Zharotia {{!}} Luqman (2018) {{!}} Available for Sale {{!}} Artsy|url=https://www.artsy.net/artwork/jai-zharotia-luqman|access-date=2021-11-24|website=www.artsy.net}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He was a powerful king from the [[Bahlikas|Bahlika]] clan, ruling over the [[Madra kingdom]] in the Northwest region of the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Although he was the brother of [[Madri]], the wife of [[Pandu]], Shalya sided with the [[Kauravas]] in the [[Kurukshetra War]]. Despite his allegiance, he supported the [[Pandavas]] and wished for their victory. While he initially fought as a key warrior for the Kauravas, he was made [[Karna]]’s charioteer and, following Karna’s death, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Kaurava forces. Shalya was killed by the eldest Pandava, [[Yudhishthira]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ganguly&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last = Ganguly|first =Kisari|title=The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa|url=http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/index.htm}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Epithets ==&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya is referred to by various epithets, including:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Artayani&lt;br /&gt;
* Balhika Pungava&lt;br /&gt;
* Madradhipa&lt;br /&gt;
* Madraja&lt;br /&gt;
* Madrajanadhipa&lt;br /&gt;
* Madraka&lt;br /&gt;
* Madraraj&lt;br /&gt;
* Sauvira&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and relations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya was the ruler of the [[Madra]] kingdom and was renowned for his formidable skills as a warrior and his wisdom. His sister, [[Madri]], was married to [[Pandu]], King of [[Kuru kingdom]] at the request of [[Bhishma]], in exchange of heavy bride price consisting of gold and jewels from [[Hastinapur]]a.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ganguly&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.manushi-india.org/pdfs_issues/PDF%20143/05%20Panchkanya%2025-33%20%202-9.pdf|title=Kunti|access-date=10 January 2013|publisher=Manushi India Organization}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/compilation/puranic-encyclopaedia/d/doc241911.html Puranic Encyclopaedia] by [[Vettam Mani]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (&#039;&#039;Adi Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 112).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya was present at the [[svayamvara]] of [[Draupadi]] alongside his sons, Rukmangada and Rukmaratha (&#039;&#039;Adi Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 185, Verse 18). However, he withdrew from the contest after failing to string the bow (&#039;&#039;Adi Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 186, Verse 28). [[Bhima]] later defeated him at the wedding (&#039;&#039;Adi Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 189, Verse 23).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[Nakula]]&#039;s western conquests, Shalya befriended his nephew and was entertained by him (&#039;&#039;Sabha Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 32, Verse 14). He also attended [[Yudhishthira]]&#039;s [[Rajasuya]] yajna (&#039;&#039;Sabha Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 34, Verse 7) and presented Yudhishthira with a sword and a golden jar at his coronation (&#039;&#039;Sabha Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 53, Verse 9).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Allegiance to Duryodhana ==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;[[Udyoga Parva]]&#039;&#039; describes about the preparation of the Kurukshetra War and the formation of alliances. Though Shalya was related to the [[Pandavas]] and initially intended to fight for them, he was deceived by [[Duryodhana]]’s cunning. As he traveled to join the Pandavas, Duryodhana arranged an extravagant reception for him, ensuring that Shalya and his army received unparalleled hospitality. Assuming that the Pandavas were behind these arrangements, Shalya praised his hosts. However, when he discovered that it was actually Duryodhana who had extended this courtesy, he felt obligated by royal etiquette to grant him a boon. Seizing the opportunity, Duryodhana requested Shalya to fight for the Kauravas, and bound by his word, Shalya reluctantly agreed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=https://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m05/m05008.htm | title=The Mahabharata, Book 5: Udyoga Parva: Section VIII }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Buitenen |first1=J.

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite aligning with the Kauravas, Shalya secretly wished for the Pandavas&#039; victory (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;). Prior to the start of the war, [[Yudhishthira]] met with his elders on the Kaurava side, seeking their blessings. Shalya readily offered his blessings to Yudhishthira, wishing him victory. Shalya was requested by Yudhishthira to heap praises of his brothers in order to infuriate Karna.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Menon|first=[translated by] Ramesh|title=The Mahabharata : a modern rendering|year=2006|publisher=iUniverse, Inc.|location=New York|isbn=9780595401888}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shalya giving boon to Yudhisthira http://sacred-texts.com/hin/m06/m06043.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He subtly worked against [[Karna]] during his battle with [[Arjuna]], using his position as Karna’s charioteer to demoralize him (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Role in the Kurukshetra War ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Duryodhana and Salya (cropped).jpg|thumb|Duryodhan requests Shalya to become Karna&#039;s charioteer, an illustration from &#039;&#039;[[Razmnama]]&#039;&#039;, the Persian translation of the &#039;&#039;Mahabharata&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== Participation in the battle ===&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya engaged in multiple battles, displaying both valor and strategic acumen:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On the first day of the war, he dueled with [[Yudhishthira]] (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 45, Verse 28).&lt;br /&gt;
* He killed [[Uttara (Mahabharata)|Uttara]], the prince of [[Virata]] (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 47, Verse 35).&lt;br /&gt;
* He defeated another prince of Virata, [[Shankha]] (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 49, Verse 35).&lt;br /&gt;
* He fought against [[Dhrishtadyumna]] (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 62) and was later defeated by [[Bhima]] (&#039;&#039;Bhishma Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 64, Verse 27).&lt;br /&gt;
* Clashed with multiple warriors including Yudhishthira, Nakula, [[Sahadeva]], [[Shikhandi]], and [[Arjuna]] throughout the war.&lt;br /&gt;
* Protected [[Jayadratha]] from Arjuna’s assault (&#039;&#039;Drona Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 145, Verse 9).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Charioteer of Karna ===&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya was reluctantly made Karna’s charioteer at Duryodhana’s insistence (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 32). Despite this, he constantly undermined Karna’s confidence by praising Arjuna (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 37, Verse 33). Their tense relationship escalated when Karna threatened to kill him (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 40), but Shalya countered by narrating the tale of the swan and the crow, mocking Karna’s arrogance (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 41).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shalya prevented Karna from killing Nakula, Sahadeva, and Yudhishthira (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 63, Verse 21) and later consoled him when he was intimidated by Bhima (&#039;&#039;Karna Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 84, Verse 8).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Commander-in-chief and death ===&lt;br /&gt;
After Karna’s death, Shalya was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Kaurava army on the eighteenth and final day of the war (&#039;&#039;Shalya Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 6, Verse 28). He led the army with great might but was ultimately defeated and killed by [[Yudhishthira]] in battle (&#039;&#039;Shalya Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 17, Verse 52).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; When Gandhari surveys the corpses on the Kurukshetra battlefield after the end of the war, she finds Shalya&#039;s tongue being eaten by birds.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Das |first=Gurcharan |title=The Difficulty of Being Good ON THE SUBTLE ART OF DHARMA |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2009 |isbn=9780199754410 |edition=1 |location=New Delhi |pages=179}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His soul was among those summoned during the [[Śrāddha|Shraddha]] rites at the [[Ganga River|Ganga]] (&#039;&#039;Ashramavasika Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 32, Verse 10).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous birth ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the &#039;&#039;Mahabharata&#039;&#039;, Shalya was a reincarnation of Samhlada, the son of [[Hiranyakashipu]] and brother of [[Prahlada]] (&#039;&#039;Adi Parva&#039;&#039;, Chapter 67, Verse 6).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Al-Baas El-Islami&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ar|البعث الإسلامي|translation=The Islamic Recrudescence&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Singh&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}) is a monthly Arabic magazine published by [[Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama]]. It was first launched in 1955 by [[Mohammad al-Hasani]] under the guidance of [[Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi]]. In 1960, the magazine officially became part of [[Nadwatul Ulama]] and has since been published regularly. The magazine focuses on developing linguistic and literary skills among students and is considered the successor to &#039;&#039;[[Al-Ziya]]&#039;&#039;, the institution&#039;s first Arabic magazine.{{Sfn|Khan|2015|p=424}} Historically, it has promoted [[Pan-Islamism]], critiqued [[Arab nationalism]] and [[Orientalism]], and aimed to make Indian Urdu Islamic scholarship accessible in Arabic.{{Sfn|P|2020|p=200}} The magazine has had only two editors, beginning with Mohammad al-Hasani and, currently, [[Saeed-ur-Rahman Azmi Nadvi]]. Its motto is &amp;quot;Our only slogan is to return towards Islam anew.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:HR&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Rahman |first=Hafizur |title=Arabic journalism in India with special reference to Sayed Muhammad Al Hasani : a study |access-date= |degree=PhD |publisher=[[Gauhati University]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/342127 |language=en |pages=184 |year=2020 |location=India |hdl=10603/342127 |archive-date=17 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217145140/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/342127 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early days and progress ==&lt;br /&gt;
The creation of &#039;&#039;Al-Baas El-Islami&#039;&#039; is closely tied to the mission of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, which was founded to promote Islamic teachings in religious, educational, and cultural spheres in India.{{Sfn|P|2020|p=196}} Among its early initiatives was the Arabic magazine &#039;&#039;Al-Ziya&#039;&#039;, launched in 1932 but short-lived.{{Sfn|P|2020|p=196}} In 1954, Mohammad al-Hasani, a figure from Nadwatul Ulama, founded Al-Muntada Al-Adabi, an intellectual organization formed during the rise of Arab nationalism under leaders like [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]].{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=184}} Amid this political and cultural upheaval in the Arab world, al-Hasani proposed creating a magazine to counter Western influence and develop religious and moral awareness.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=183}} With the encouragement of Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi and other colleagues, the idea materialized, and &#039;&#039;Al-Baas El-Islami&#039;&#039; released its first issue in October 1955 (Safar 1375 [[Hijri year|AH]]), with al-Hasani as editor and [[Saeed-ur-Rahman Azmi Nadvi]] and [[Ijteba Nadwi]] handling management.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Nadwi |first=Sarwar Alam |title=Development Of Arabic Journalism In India After Independence |access-date=29 November 2023 |degree=PhD |publisher=[[Aligarh Muslim University]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/57825 |language=ar |pages=185 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231126024641/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/57825 |archive-date=26 November 2023 |year=2000 |location=India |hdl=10603/57825 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Sfn|Rehman|2008|p=54}} Initially comprising 32 pages, the magazine achieved traction in the Arab world, especially in countries like Iraq, Iran, and Libya, where its articles were widely circulated.{{Sfn|Islam|2014|p=191}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 1960, the administration of Nadwatul Ulama took over the magazine&#039;s publishing responsibilities, with its first issue under their management appearing in March–April 1960 (Ramadan–Shawwal 1379 AH).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Nayab&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Qasmi |first=Nayab Hasan |url=https://archive.org/details/DarulUloomDeobandKaSahafatiManzarNamah |title=Darul Uloom Deoband Ka Sahafati Manzarnama |publisher=Idara Tahqueeq-e-islami Deoband |year=2013 |edition= |location=India |pages=104 |language=ur |trans-title=Journalistic Scenario Of Darul Uloom Deoband}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Mohammad al-Hasani continued as editor until his death on 13 June 1979, after which Saeed-ur-Rahman Azmi Nadvi succeeded him, expanding the magazine to 100 pages.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=192–193}} It has remained a platform for addressing Islamic issues, supported by an editorial team that, at one time, included figures like [[Wazeh Rashid Hasani Nadwi]] as deputy editor-in-chief.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:AA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Alangadan |first=Anees |title=Relocating Arabic Language And Literature With Reference To Arabic Journalism In India 1950 To 2000 |access-date=29 November 2023 |degree=PhD |publisher=[[Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/30548 |language=ar |page=170 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129050821/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/30548 |archive-date=29 November 2023 |year=2014 |location=India |hdl=10603/30548 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Focus areas ==&lt;br /&gt;
The magazine describes itself as a platform for promoting Islamic values, supporting intellectual exchange, and encouraging unity and resilience among [[Muslims]]. Its foundational mission, outlined in its first editorial, distinguishes it from literary magazines in [[Cairo]] and [[Beirut]], which it criticizes for focusing on superficial topics and promoting [[Arabs|Arab]] cultural figures.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=186}} It presents a clear purpose: to enhance religious and cultural awareness, offer guidance, and strengthen global connections among Muslims.{{Sfn|Ahmed|2019|p=310}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The magazine&#039;s objectives include raising religious awareness among younger generations, developing Islamic thought, and disseminating accurate Islamic teachings. It emphasizes defending Islam from external critiques, addressing harmful ideologies, and countering [[Western culture|Western cultural influence]].{{Sfn|Islam|2014|p=187}} It also seeks to build connections between Indo-Arabic literature, highlight notable Muslim figures, and promote the views of Nadwatul Ulama.{{Sfn|Islam|2014|p=187}} Additionally, the magazine aims to revive Islamic heritage, prepare future advocates of Islam, and publish scholarly works without racial bias.{{Sfn|Ahmed|2019|p=310}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These goals are reflected in articles on contemporary issues, analyses of news relevant to the [[Muslim world|Islamic world]], and discussions defending Islamic movements, such as the [[Muslim Brotherhood]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:HSI&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Islam |first=Habib Shahidul |title=The Role Of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulema In The Field Of Arabic Journalism In India A Study |access-date=29 November 2023 |degree=PhD |publisher=Department of Arabic, [[Gauhati University]] |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/114360 |language=en |page=188 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129050739/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/114360 |archive-date=29 November 2023 |year=2014 |location=India |hdl=10603/114360 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It gives particular attention to cultural developments in [[Arab world|Arab countries]] and the connections between Arabic educational institutions in India and the broader Arab world. The magazine also seeks to raise standards in Arabic language and literature within India.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=188}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Published objectives on the magazine&#039;s pages highlight its mission to inspire Islamic and literary interest among youth, guide students in their educational goals, and strengthen cultural ties among Muslim students globally.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=188}} It also aims to promote self-confidence and faith among Muslim youth, encouraging them to stand against oppressive forces and challenge misrepresentations of their intentions.{{Sfn|Nadwi|2000|p=183}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Academic reviews ==&lt;br /&gt;

It specialises in manufacturing various equipment used for [[cricket]] and the company manufactures the red [[cricket ball|ball]] used in all [[Test cricket]] and [[first-class cricket]] matches in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The company was founded by brothers Kedarnath and Dwarakanath Anand in [[Sialkot]], present-day [[Pakistan]] in 1931.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=India opens door to Kookaburra balls in Tests |url=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006\03\10\story_10-3-2006_pg2_7 |work=[[Daily Times (Pakistan)|Daily Times]]|date=10 March 2006 |access-date=21 October 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Originally from Lahore, the brothers apprenticed at their uncle’s sports shop before deciding to diversify their family’s leather business into sports equipment manufacturing and exports. By the start of [[World War II]], the company employed around 250 workers and remained operational during the war. After the [[partition of India]], the family moved to [[Agra]] and later settled in [[Meerut]] in 1950.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=SG cricket, about us |url=https://shop.teamsg.in/pages/about-us |access-date=25 March 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 1972, the company introduced its own line of protective cricket gear under the brand Featherlite.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1980s, the company shifted its focus primarily to cricket equipment, including bats, balls, pads, and gloves, as the demand for skilled craftsmanship in cricket products increased. In 1982, the company began selling its products under its own brand and opened a second manufacturing unit. Around the same time, Wasiullah Khan, a former state-level cricketer, joined as a junior manager. By 1992, the company began supplying cricket balls for [[Ranji Trophy]] matches after approval from the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI). This eventually extended to Test cricket.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Sengupta |first=Rudraneil |date=2012-08-13 |title=1931 Sanspareils Greenlands {{!}} A historic innings |url=https://www.livemint.com/sports/cricket-news/1931-sanspareils-greenlands-a-historic-inning-1540427901777.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221103121835/https://www.livemint.com/sports/cricket-news/1931-sanspareils-greenlands-a-historic-inning-1540427901777.html |archive-date=3 November 2022 |access-date=2025-01-13 |work=mint |language=en |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Damodar Map.jpg|thumb|300px|Damodar Basin]]&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of the catastrophic flood of 1943, the Governor of Bengal appointed the Damodar Flood enquiry committee to suggest remedial measures.[[Damodar Valley Corporation]] came into existence in 1948 for development and management of the basin as a whole. Voorduin envisaged the construction of eight dams and a barrage, but it was later decided to have only four dams, at [[Tilaiya]], Konar, [[Maithon]] and [[Panchet]], and [[Durgapur Barrage]].&amp;lt;ref name=jain&amp;gt;{{cite book|url =https://books.google.com/books?id=ZKs1gBhJSWIC&amp;amp;q=Panchet+Dam&amp;amp;pg=PA395| title = Hydrology and Water Resources of India|author1=Sharad K.

Some scholars have even dedicated independent publications to shed light on the various aspects of Hajj, Umrah, and the rituals associated with it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Ahmad |first=Riyaz |title=Maulana Mohd Zakaria ki Elm E hadees men Khidmaat |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |year=2009 |location=India |language=ur |hdl=10603/57134 |degree=PhD |url=https://core.ac.uk/display/144524601?source=1&amp;amp;algorithmId=15&amp;amp;similarToDoc=144523409&amp;amp;similarToDocKey=CORE&amp;amp;recSetID=cb65ce6f-dd11-4a75-a8eb-a95e4ded5f93&amp;amp;position=3&amp;amp;recommendation_type=same_repo&amp;amp;otherRecs=144527167,144526634,144524601,144527160,144521013 |access-date=13 June 2023 |archive-date=27 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627220558/https://core.ac.uk/display/144524601?source=1&amp;amp;algorithmId=15&amp;amp;similarToDoc=144523409&amp;amp;similarToDocKey=CORE&amp;amp;recSetID=cb65ce6f-dd11-4a75-a8eb-a95e4ded5f93&amp;amp;position=3&amp;amp;recommendation_type=same_repo&amp;amp;otherRecs=144527167,144526634,144524601,144527160,144521013 |url-status=live |pages=97}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The obligatory Hajj was performed by [[Muhammad]] only once in his lifetime, and there are variations in the narrations and events related to it, which opponents of hadith have used as a basis for criticism. During his teaching in 1924, Zakariyya Kandhlawi was inspired to write a treatise on the subject of the Farewell Pilgrimage, taking into consideration the significant Hadith and Fiqhi discussions surrounding it. Engaged in Hadith studies and driven by a desire to serve the Hadith, Zakariyya Kandhlawi authored this book on the Farewell Pilgrimage at the age of 27. The original book was completed within one day and one night, followed by the addition of annotations, explanations, and valuable information based on the author&#039;s personal experiences.{{Sfn|Ahmad|2009|p=97}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially in draft form, copies of this treatise were obtained by many scholars. The idea of publishing it arose in 1971. However, due to illness, Zakariyya Kandhlawi was unable to read and write, so the assistance of Muhammad Aqil and Muhammad Salman was sought for typing and proofreading. After numerous additions, the book was first published in 1971 by Kitab Khana Biwi. It spans 209 pages. The second edition, in Arabic script, was published by Darul Uloom Nizamul Ulama, featuring a useful and scholarly introduction by [[Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi]]. The third edition, published by Darul Uloom Beirut, Lebanon, includes a research-based introduction by [[Yusuf Banuri]], titled &#039;&#039;Al-Mani&#039; Al-Ila Khasais Hajjat-ul-Wada&#039;a&#039;&#039;.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Content ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi]] explains the book&#039;s style and writing approach, stating that its objective is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the subject&#039;s various aspects. The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents a description of Muhammad&#039;s Hajj, allowing readers to perceive the pilgrimage through their own insight and witness the performance of Umrah and Tawaf. It encompasses a wealth of information pertaining to the Farewell Pilgrimage, ultimately illuminating the true essence of Hajj and Umrah. The second part focuses on Muhammad&#039;s Umrah, elaborating on its significance, specific details, and procedures. It encompasses legal rulings, historical accounts, scientific insights, and in-depth hadith research related to Umrah. The book also addresses aspects such as the types of [[Ihram]], the obligatory and recommended actions associated with Umrah, and provides an understanding of the boundaries in various directions. Moreover, it discusses the issues relevant to women in states of menstruation and postpartum bleeding, shedding light on diverse aspects of the Farewell Pilgrimage in a concise yet comprehensive manner.{{Sfn|Chaudhary|1992|p=198}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Methodology ==&lt;br /&gt;
The book provides information about various destinations and their names, along with explanations of the changes that have taken place in these locations, drawing from the statements of scholars and the author&#039;s personal experiences. Additionally, it highlights an aspect of the book: the inclusion of quotations and the attribution of various opinions, particularly when presenting different religious perspectives. Moreover, the book pays homage to the significant contributions of early scholars and holds their esteemed positions in high regard. In expressing his own scholarly stance, the author maintains respect and reverence for these pioneers, displaying humility and deference.{{Sfn|Ahmad|2009|p=97}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to Riyaz Ahmad, a scholar from [[Aligarh Muslim University]], this book is a highly comprehensive work in its field, encompassing the opinions of esteemed scholars and addressing all relevant issues. He describes it as an encyclopedia of Hajj.{{Sfn|Ahmad|2009|p=98}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[India]] and [[Mexico]] have had contact since the 1500s, but formal [[diplomatic relations]] were first established in 1950. Both nations are members of the [[G-20 major economies]] and the [[United Nations]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
During colonialism in both India and Mexico, relations and trade were carried out by the Spanish who through the [[Manila galleon|Manila-Acapulco Galleon]] traded with Indian traders and brought their products to [[New Spain]] (present day Mexico). In the 1500s, a few hundred Indians were taken as slaves and transported to Mexico.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.redalyc.org/pdf/600/60022589001.pdf La Esclavitud Asiática en el Virreinato de la Nueva España, 1565-1673 (in Spanish)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the 1600s, an Indian woman in Mexico known as [[Catarina de San Juan]] was kidnapped by Portuguese pirates and brought to the [[Philippines]]. From there, she was brought to Mexico and sold to a man in the Mexican State of [[Puebla]]. Her presence in Puebla inspired the creation of the [[China poblana]] dress, based on the traditional gowns that she wore.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.analesiie.unam.mx/pdf/71_37-73.pdf A Mughal Princess in Baroque New Spain]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1947, Mexico became the first [[Latin America]]n nation to recognize the independence of India from the [[United Kingdom]].&amp;lt;ref name=Bilateral&amp;gt;[https://www.indiainmexico.gov.in/eoimx_pages/MTE5 India-Mexico Relations]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On first 1 August 1950, both nations established diplomatic relations and on the following year, Mexico opened an embassy in [[Delhi]].&amp;lt;ref name=History&amp;gt;[https://sre.gob.mx/images/stories/docnormateca/manexte/embajadas/MOEMIndia.pdf History of diplomatic relations between Mexico and India (in Spanish)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To show the importance of the new relations between the two nations, the first Mexican ambassador to India was former Mexican President [[Emilio Portes Gil]]. In 1962, [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Prize]] laureate [[Octavio Paz]] was named ambassador to India.&amp;lt;ref name=History /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1961, Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] became the first Indian head-of-state to pay a visit to Mexico. In 1962, Mexican President [[Adolfo López Mateos]] paid an official visit to India. There would be many more high-level visits between leaders of both nations.&amp;lt;ref name=History /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[Goa liberation movement]], when Indo-Portuguese tensions soared, Mexico offered the Indian government its influence in Latin America to bring pressure on the Portuguese to relieve tensions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/kennedyjf/46453.htm US Department of State, Central Files, 753D.00/12 - 561. Document 66]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both nations work closely in several multilateral organizations. The Sonora variety of Mexican wheat was fundamental in the [[Green Revolution in India]].&amp;lt;ref name=Bilateral /&amp;gt; In 2010, India opened a cultural center in [[Mexico City]] in response to the broad interests manifested in Mexico by the different facets of Indian culture and lifestyle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.protocolo.com.mx/embajadas/abre-sus-puertas-el-centro-cultural-de-la-india/ Abre sus puertas el Centro Cultural de la India (in Spanish)]{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2016, Indian Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] paid an official visit to Mexico. While in Mexico, Prime Minister Modi met with President [[Enrique Peña Nieto]] and the two leaders held bilateral, political and economic partnership discussions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.narendramodi.in/india-mexico-joint-statement-during-the-visit-of-prime-minister-to-mexico-june-08-2016--484257 India-Mexico Joint Statement during the visit of Prime Minister to Mexico]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2022, Mexican Foreign Minister [[Marcelo Ebrard]] paid a visit to India and met with his counterpart [[S. Jaishankar]].&amp;lt;ref name=Ebrard&amp;gt;[https://www.milenio.com/politica/marcelo-ebrard-concluye-gira-india-oriente Marcelo Ebrard concluye su gira por la India y Medio Oriente (in Spanish)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While in India, Ebrard met with local business leaders in order to increase trade relations between India and Mexico.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
The story is set in 1942. Ramnath is a respectable rich man living in a village with his wife Janaki, son Nehru, brother Madhu and a doting step-mother Yasodha, who does not like Madhu&#039;s active participation in the freedom struggle, fearing that he may be jailed. Janaki&#039;s uncle, a lawyer, visits them with his city-bred daughter Sobha. She takes a liking for Madhu but is against his political leanings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ramnath shifts his family to Madras. Madhu is arrested for participating in the movement against British rule. A changed Sobha too jumps into the freedom struggle. Unable to trace her, the police take Ramnath into custody. An enraged Yasodha too joins the movement and goes to jail. But both are soon released. Madhu, on parole, comes home and Janaki treats him like her son. By then she is critically ill. Once the parole is over, the police come to pick him up. On seeing them, Janaki dies of shock. The police drag a deranged Madhu. After serving the sentence, Madhu, still in a mentally deranged condition, is released. Yasodha blames Ramnath for her son&#039;s plight. A dejected Ramnath leaves the house with his son. But, worried about his brother, he returns home and saves him from a fall. Dramatically, Madhu regains normality. India gets independence and the family participates in the celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jamshid Shah Miri&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] and {{langx|fa|{{nq|جمشید شاہ میری}}}}) also known  as &#039;&#039;&#039;Jamshid Shah&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Jamshed Shah&#039;&#039;&#039;) was the third [[List of monarchs of Kashmir|Sultan of Kashmir]] who ruled from 1342 to 1343.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jamshid was born in the wake of his father [[Shah Mir]]&#039;s military and serviced exertion in [[Lohara dynasty|Kashmir]] during the invasion of [[Mongols|Mongol]] commander Zulchu in the early 14th century.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Dutt |first=J. C. |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180776 |title=Kings Of Kashmira |date=1879 |pages=17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Jamshid grew up along with his brother [[Alauddin Shah|Ali Sher]] in the court of [[Rinchan]] and later [[Lohara dynasty|Udayanadeva]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Dutt |first=J. C. |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180776 |title=Kings Of Kashmira |date=1879 |pages=33}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rise to power ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== As governor of Kamraj ===&lt;br /&gt;
Jamshid&#039;s sheer expertise and martial adeptness with regards to his strong nature were well cherished even by the Maharaja himself. By gaining the trust of Maharaja Udayanadeva, Jamshid was appointed as the governor of Kamraj, the office which solidified his armoured wall even further.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Dutt |first=J. C. |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180776 |title=Kings Of Kashmira |date=1879 |pages=24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jamshid carried his laws in the region and worked efficiently for the people of Kamraj. Warmly welcomed, he established himself in [[Sopore]] from where the orders were executed. Jamshid carried out his role as a governor till Shah Mir started an [[Shah Mir–Lohara War|armed rebellion]] against the [[Kota Rani|Maharani Kota]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F4_MoAEACAAJ |title=Baharistan-i-shahi: A Chronicle of Mediaeval Kashmir |date=2013 |publisher=Gulshan Books |isbn=978-81-8339-166-5 |pages=f 17a |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== As heir apparent of Kashmir ===&lt;br /&gt;
Jamshid supported his father in his campaign against the Maharani. He played a crucial role in subduing the Lohara army. In 1339, Shah Mir overcame the Lohara forces and revived the Kashmir Sultanate, once established by Rinchan,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Retzlaff |first1=Ralph H. |last2=Hasan |first2=Mohibbul |date= |title=Kashmir under the Sultans |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/595144 |journal=Journal of the American Oriental Society |volume= |issue= |pages=36 |doi=10.2307/595144 |jstor=595144 |issn=0003-0279|url-access=subscription }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; by founding his own dynasty named [[Shah Mir dynasty|Shah Mir]] after him. He also proclaimed himself the 2nd Sultan of Kashmir while Jamshid was selected as the heir apparent. Jamshid was also appointed in other important offices in the government of his father.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Retzlaff |first1=Ralph H. |last2=Hasan |first2=Mohibbul |date= |title=Kashmir under the Sultans |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/595144 |journal=Journal of the American Oriental Society |volume= |issue= |pages=47 |doi=10.2307/595144 |jstor=595144 |issn=0003-0279|url-access=subscription }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The festival first started on 1 December 2007 to next year 15 January lasting for a period of 46 days with an aim to promote and develop commerce, trade and industrial sector of Kerala using the brand value of [[Kerala Tourism]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;GKSF begins&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Shopping festival begins|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/shopping-festival-begins/article1959420.ece|work=The Hindu|date=2 December 2007|access-date=24 January 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The objective of the festival is to make the state an International shopping destination over a period of 5 years and create employment to develop traditional trade centers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.shoppingfestival.in/faq.php |title=GKSF FAQ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100821095542/http://shoppingfestival.in/faq.php |archive-date=21 August 2010 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this period stores and shops registered under the GKSF offer wide range of discounts, vat refunds etc.&lt;br /&gt;
Along with the guaranteed shopping experience, shoppers are provided with gift coupons for a fixed worth of purchase entering them into weekly and mega lucky draws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The festival is a strong step taken forward to regain the lost glory of Kerala in the map of international trade and commerce. The Government aims to utilize the growth in the tourism sector to develop the state as an international trade and tourism destination. As compared to shopping festivals being held in other countries, this Festival converts the entire state of Kerala into a giant shopping mall, incorporating not just the big players, but also the small and medium scale industries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over 3,000 outlets selling jewellery, electronic goods, textiles, consumer-durables, cars and autos, as well as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls across the state register for this several days long Shopping Festival. The aim of the festival is to make Kerala an international shopping destination in five years on lines of [[Dubai Shopping Festival|Dubai]] and [[Great Singapore Sale|Singapore]] and thereby attract tourists in large number to the state. Regional hubs of commercial activity are being planned in major cities and towns for the shopping festival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 6th season of GKSF (2012-2013) also featured a contemporary art fair. The exhibition-come-sale featuring more than 300 works by over 200 artists was a first-of-its-kind attempt to address the lack of marketing opportunities for Kerala artists. The fair was inaugurated at [[Kanakakkunnu Palace]] in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] by Chief Minister [[Oommen Chandy]] with the sale of two paintings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Contemporary Art Fair gives art its due|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Thiruvananthapuram/contemporary-art-fair-gives-art-its-due/article4272599.ece|work=The Hindu|date=4 January 2013|access-date=26 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Fair sparked hope in artists|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/fair-sparked-hope-in-artists-says-kanayi/article4343151.ece|work=The Hindu|date=25 January 2013|access-date=26 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
