'''Hassan Shah Khoyihami''' (c. 1832 – c. 1898), born Pir Ghulam Hassan Shah and commonly known as Pir Ghulam Hassan Shah, was a nineteenth-century [[Kashmir|Kashmiri]] historian, scholar, and poet from Gamroo village near [[Bandipore|Bandipora]]. He is best remembered for the ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'', a four-volume [[Persian language|Persian-language]] work encompassing the geography, history, [[Sufism|Sufi biography]], and literary heritage of the [[Kashmir]] Valley.

His life spanned the [[Dogra dynasty|Dogra era]], from the reign of Maharaja [[Gulab Singh]] to that of Maharaja [[Pratap Singh of Jammu and Kashmir|Pratap Singh]], and his writings remain an important reference for the study of [[History of Kashmir|Kashmiri history]] and of [[Culture of Kashmir|Kashmiri culture]]. He notably engaged with the [[Rajatarangini]] manuscripts, adapting ancient historical narratives into a chronological Persian format. The [[Government Degree College, Bandipora]] was officially named the 'Hassan Khoyihami Memorial Degree College Bandipora' in his honour.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Gulshan Publishers |url=http://archive.org/details/wlnj_hassan-kashmir-historiographer-by-manzoor-fazili-history-srinagar-1983-guls |title=Hassan Kashmir Historiographer By Manzoor Fazili History Srinagar 1983 Gulshan Publishers}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Khoyahami Ghulam Hasan |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.260528 |title=Tareekh E Hassan Vol 1 |publisher=N/a}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Zutshi |first=Chitralekha |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0019464613487119 |title=Past as tradition, past as history: The Rajatarangini narratives in Kashmir’s Persian historical tradition |doi=10.1177/00194646134871 |journal=[[The Indian Economic and Social History Review]] |volume=50 |issue=2 |pages=201|date=April 2013}}</ref>

== Biography ==
Hassan Shah's seventh paternal ancestor, Ganesh Kaul, belonged to the Dattatreya Kaul gotra and served in the Mughal judiciary. He was converted to Islam by the saint Sultan ul-Arifin Sheikh [[Hamza Makhdoom]], upon which he was renamed Sheikh Ghaziuddin; the entire family converted with him. Hassan's ancestral spiritual allegiance thus traced back to Sheikh [[Hamza Makhdoom]], whom he venerated as his hereditary pir. He was himself later initiated into the [[Naqshbandi Order|Naqshbandi]] order by Khawaja Muhammad Tashkandi.<ref name=":0" />

His father, Sheikh Ghulam Rasool (Pir Ghulam Rasool Sheva), was a scholar of distinction with mastery over Arabic and Persian and authored four works: ''Mujmua'', ''Risal-Turfa'', ''Ajab Manzar'', and ''Karamat-i-Awalia''. Professor Hajini observed that virtually everything Hassan acquired in Persian and Arabic he owed to his father's instruction. Hassan was the eldest of four brothers: Pir Ghulam Ahmad Jayid, Pir Ghulam Mohiuddin, and Mohd Pir. <ref name=":0" />

Born in 1832, Hassan came of age at the moment Maharaja [[Gulab Singh]] acquired Kashmir from the British for seventy-five lakh rupees and ascended the throne in 1846, establishing [[Dogra dynasty|Dogra]] rule over the Valley. Though born before the Dogra ascendancy, he was shaped by that era and observed its transformations with the eye of a critical scholar. He came to the attention of [[Walter Roper Lawrence|Sir Walter Lawrence]], the Land Settlement Officer in Kashmir from 1889 to 1895, who acknowledged him as his principal teacher of the Kashmiri language. Lawrence wrote in his work, ''[[The Valley of Kashmir]]'' (1895), "What else I have learnt I owe to Pir Hassan Shah, a learned Kashmiri, whose work lies entirely among the villagers". <ref name=":0" /> Lawrence notes in his book that Hassan had wide contacts and was connected both with the common people and with the elite.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":5">{{Cite book |last=Lawrence Walter R. |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.234537 |title=The Valley Of Kashmir |date=1895}}</ref>

Hassan Shah died on 28 Jamadi-us-Sani 1316 A.H. (13 November 1898) at the age of sixty-eight, at Gamroo. He was buried there in the precincts of the mazar of Mir Bibi Khatun, a pious woman of his village. <ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

== Notable works ==
Khoyihami produced a number of notable works, including:<ref name=":0" />
* ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'' (four volumes) – his magnum opus; a comprehensive history, geography, and biographical encyclopaedia of Kashmir.
* ''Nagme-e-Gulistan'' – a Persian masnawi of 2,939 couplets, completed in 1283 A.H.; unpublished.
* ''Aijaz Garaeba'' – a work on the miracles of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]].
* ''Khairyat Asrar'' – unpublished.

=== ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'' ===
Khoyihami's ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'' is a [[Persian-language]] historical work comprising four volumes, compiled in the nineteenth century and published in 1954 by the Research and Publication Department of the Jammu and Kashmir Government. A translation by Prof. Dr. Hussein Shareef Qasmi has made the text accessible to a broader audience.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

* Volume I, is an encyclopedic account of Kashmir's physical and human geography, with separate chapters on roads, birds, animals, mountains, springs, lakes, seasons, peoples, religions, temples, mosques, caves, mines, and meadows; by the twentieth century, it was regarded as the most comprehensive single work on Kashmir's geography.<ref name=":1" />

* Volume II, traces the history of Kashmir from ancient times to the Dogra period, drawing on Kalhana's ''Rajatarangini'' and the ''Ratnakar Purana'', while also supplementing gaps in earlier chronicles; his treatment of the medieval period, in particular, reflects remarkable skill as a historian.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Khuihami Peer Ghulam Hassan |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.532082 |title=Tariekh-i-hassan Vol 2 |date=1885}}</ref>

* Volume III, initiated in 1305 A.H., documents the lives of great [[Sayyid]], [[Rishi order|Rishis]], seers, scholars, and saints of Kashmir and reflects the author's allegiance to the [[Suhrawardiyya]] order.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last=Asrar Alakhyar |url=http://archive.org/details/tarikh-e-hassan-vol-3-asrar-alakhyar |title=Tarikh E Hassan Vol 3 Asrar Alakhyar}}</ref>

* Volume IV, is devoted to the Persian poets of Kashmir, preserving the literary heritage of a tradition that flourished under the [[Mughals]] (1586–1752) and continued through the reign of Maharaja [[Pratap Singh of Jammu and Kashmir|Pratap Singh]] (1885–1925).<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Pir Ghulam Hasan |url=http://archive.org/details/TarikhEHasan4Kashmir. |title=Tarikh E Hasan 4, Kashmir. تاریخ حسن ۔ جموں و کشمیر |date=1885}}</ref>

One of the most significant contributions of Volume II is its preservation of the accounts of kings absent from Kalhana's [[Rajatarangini|Rajatarangi]]. Hassan had carefully studied ''Waqia-i-Kashmir'', a Persian translation of the Sanskrit ''Ratnakar Purana'' compiled by Mulla Ahmad, court poet of Sultan [[Zayn al-Abidin the Great]] (r. 1420–1470). He obtained a manuscript copy from Mulla Mahmud, an Afghan resident of the village of Pindore (now in Pakistan). While travelling by boat in [[Srinagar]], Hassan's vessel capsized; he was rescued, but the manuscript was lost to the river. He nonetheless incorporated what he had learned from it into ''Tarikh-i-Hassan''. Writing in the ''Journal and Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal'', Pandit Ananda Koul noted that after Hassan's death, no further copy of Mulla Ahmad's translation could be traced, leaving ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'' as the sole surviving source for these lost kings.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":1" />

== Legacy ==
Khoyihami is regarded as one of the most important historians of the [[Kashmir]] Valley. His contribution is the preservation of accounts of the thirty-five kings of Kashmir who are absent from Kalhana's twelfth-century [[Rajatarangini|Rajatarangi]] because the ''Ratnakar Purana'' and Mulla Ahmad's Persian translation were both lost, ''Tarikh-i-Hassan'' remains the sole surviving record of these rulers, making it irreplaceable for the ancient history of Kashmir.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Life |first=Kashmir |date=2018-02-28 |title=Historian Hasan Shah |url=https://kashmirlife.net/historian-hasan-shah-166763/ |access-date=2026-04-08 |website=Kashmir Life - Latest News & Breaking News from Kashmir |language=en-GB}}</ref> In his birthplace, [[Bandipore|Bandipora]], the [[Government Degree College, Bandipora]] was named the 'Hassan Khoyihami Memorial Degree College Bandipora in his honour.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Malik |first=Dr Muhammad Amin |date=2021-10-12 |title=A seat of higher learning |url=https://www.greaterkashmir.com/opinion/a-seat-of-higher-learning/ |access-date=2026-04-08 |website=Greater Kashmir |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=HKM Degree College Bandipora |url=https://gdcbandipora.edu.in/Main/ViewPage.aspx?Page=College_Profile |access-date=2026-04-08 |website=gdcbandipora.edu.in}}</ref>

'''''Sirivantha''''' is a 2006 Indian [[Kannada]]-language film starring [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]]. This film was directed by [[S. Narayan]]. It was the sixth and last film of the Vishnu-Narayan combination. Sirivantha followed the other five Vishnu-Narayan films ''[[Veerappa Nayaka]]'', ''[[Surya Vamsha]]'', ''[[Simhadriya Simha]]'', ''[[Jamindaru]]'' and ''[[Varsha (2005 film)|Varsha]]''. The movie is a remake of the 2004 Telugu movie ''[[Aa Naluguru]]''.

==Plot==
''Sirivantha'' revolves around the concept of ideologies and self-sufficiency. Peace-loving Narayan Murthy (Vishnu) works as an editor for the ''Mitravani'' newspaper and lives his life helping others. He spends half of his earnings on his family and the other half on charitable deeds. His family consisting of his wife, two sons and a daughter opposed the principles followed by their father. There is an urgent need in the family for money because the eldest son needs it to pay a bribe to get a Sub Inspector's job and the youngest son needs to get it for his education. In order to do so, Narayan decides to start a business. He is forced to break all his principles and borrow money from a financier friend, played by Doddanna. Unable to bear the defeat of his ideology, he commits suicide the very day he gives money to his children. After hearing the news about their father's death, the children run away with the money and hide whilst the community that he helped and loved come in huge numbers to perform his last rites. The rest of the story follows the journey of how the financier gets his money back and how the children come to understand their father's ideology.

}}

The '''Karnataka Socio-Economic and Education Survey 2015''' was a comprehensive demographic and socio-economic study conducted by the [[Government of Karnataka]] to collect data on caste, education, employment, and income. Initiated under Chief Minister [[Siddaramaiah]] and led by H Kantharaj of the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes, it covered over 10.6 million households at a cost of ₹162 crore. Aimed at shaping policies for marginalized groups like [[Scheduled Castes]], [[Scheduled Tribes]], and [[Other Backward Classes]], the survey's leaked findings, reported in 2018, sparked debate over caste representation. Tabled in the Karnataka Cabinet on April 11, 2025, the survey remains a focal point for social justice and reservation policy discussions.

== Background ==
The survey was launched in 2015 to address the absence of updated caste data since the [[2011 Census of India]], driven by the [[Indian National Congress]]-led government's commitment to social equity.<ref name="HTTabled">{{cite web |title=2015 socio-economic survey to be tabled in Karnataka Cabinet today |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/2015-socio-economic-survey-to-be-tabled-in-karnataka-cabinet-today-101744311659433.html |website=Hindustan Times |date=April 11, 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref> It sought to gather detailed insights into caste, income, education, and employment to inform welfare and reservation policies for Karnataka’s estimated 61 million residents. The initiative, costing ₹162 crore, responded to demands for inclusive policy-making amid national discussions on caste-based data.<ref name="HTViews">{{cite web |title=Differing views on impact of caste survey findings in Karnataka |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/differing-views-on-impact-of-caste-survey-findings-in-karnataka-101696447331994.html |website=Hindustan Times |date=October 3, 2023 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

== Methodology ==
Conducted in 2015, the survey mobilized over 160,000 personnel, including enumerators and supervisors, to visit more than 10.6 million households across Karnataka.<ref name="HTTabled" /> Overseen by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes, it used door-to-door data collection to capture caste, income, education, and employment details.

=== Implementation ===
* '''Scope''': The survey reached over 10.6 million households, covering urban and rural areas.
* '''Personnel''': Over 160,000 staff ensured comprehensive data collection.
* '''Cost''': The project cost ₹162 crore, funded by the state government.
* '''Oversight''': The Backward Classes Commission managed logistics, aiming for accuracy.<ref name="HTTabled" />

=== Challenges ===
The scale of the survey likely posed logistical issues, such as accessing remote areas and ensuring respondent cooperation, though specific obstacles are not detailed in available reports. The report, completed in 2015, remained unpublished until April 2025 due to political sensitivities.<ref name="HTViews" />

== Findings ==
While the official report awaits public release as of May 3, 2025, leaked data from 2018, reported by media, outlined Karnataka’s demographic composition:<ref name="ExpressLeaked">{{cite web |title=Karnataka caste survey report: What it says and why it’s controversial |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/karnataka-caste-survey-report-controversy-explained-9231833/ |website=The Indian Express |date=March 1, 2024 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Demographic Breakdown by Caste
! Category !! Percentage
|-
| [[Scheduled Castes]] (SC) || 19.5%
|-
| Muslims || 16%
|-
| Vokkaligas || 14%
|-

|-
| Other Backward Classes (OBC) || 20%
|-
| Marginalized Communities (SCs, STs, Muslims, Kurubas) || 47.5%
|}

The data, collected voluntarily, suggests marginalized groups comprise nearly half the population, fueling debates on reservation adjustments.<ref name="HTViews" />

== Implications ==
The survey’s findings are expected to influence reservation policies in education, employment, and politics, potentially expanding quotas to reflect demographic realities.<ref name="HTTabled" /> Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has indicated decisions will follow a report from the Backward Classes Commission, due by November 2023, with a possible sub-committee to review data.<ref name="HTViews" /> The survey aligns with national calls for caste censuses, as seen in Bihar, and could set a precedent for policy-making.<ref name="ExpressLeaked" />

Financially, changes in reservation policies might affect sectors like education and employment, influencing companies in these areas. However, as of May 3, 2025, no direct market impacts are reported, and financial implications remain speculative pending policy actions.<ref name="HTTabled" />

== Controversies and reception ==
The survey has faced significant controversy, particularly from Vokkaligas and Lingayats, who claim underrepresentation. The All India Veerashaiva-Lingayat Mahasabha questioned the data’s accuracy, escalating political tensions.<ref name="ExpressLeaked" /> Internal Congress opposition, including from leaders like DK Shivakumar, delayed the report’s tabling until April 2025.<ref name="HTTabled" /> The [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], via former CM Basavaraj Bommai, has reserved comment pending the official report.<ref name="HTViews" />

Analysts like A Narayana from Azim Premji University suggest the data could reshape political narratives, while Dr. Sandeep Shastri notes Congress’s cautious approach to avoid alienating dominant castes.<ref name="HTViews" /> Despite controversies, the survey is seen as a vital step toward addressing inequalities.

'''Jyotirmoy Ghosh''' (Jyotirmay, Jyotirmaya) (1896–1965) was an Indian [[mathematician]], [[physicist]], academic, writer, and a practitioner of [[Homeopathy|homeopathic medicine]]. He frequently published non-academic works under the alias Bhaskar (Bhaskara, Baskar) Ghosh.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.278465/2015.278465.Whos-Who_djvu.txt|title=Who's Who Of Indian Writers}}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Ghosh was born on January 1, 1896, in the village of Ghasiara, in the Magura subdivision of [[Jessore District]] in India, (now Bangladesh). He was the eldest of four children. Ghosh graduated (matriculated) from Narail Victorian Collegiate School in Jessore, India in 1912. In 1914, he earned his B.A. at [[Narail Victoria College|Narail Victoria College, Jessore]]. In 1916, he earned a B.A. in mathematics at Presidency College, Calcutta. In 1918, he earned an M.A. in Applied Mathematics, coming in First Class Second. Following this, he traveled to the United Kingdom in 1925, and received his Ph.D. in mathematics at [[The University of Edinburgh]], where he studied with [[Albert Einstein]]. Later, Ghosh was one of a few Indian physicists who corresponded with Einstein. His dissertation was entitled "On some problems in elasticity and on radially symmetric gravitational field in continuous matter".<ref name=EIN>{{cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332028192|title=Albert Einstein's Interaction with Indian Physicists - Theory of Relativity and India's Reaction}}</ref>

==Career==
Ghosh started his academic career as a professor of mathematics at the [[University of Dhaka|University of Dacca]] in 1921. Upon receiving his doctorate, he was appointed as a reader in Mathematics at the University of Dacca.<ref name=EIN/> In 1930, he founded the Indian Physico Mathematical Journal, and also served as its editor for several years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/133979b0|title=Indian Physico-Mathematical Journal}}</ref> In 1930 and 1931, he served as Professor of Mathematics at [[Presidency University, Kolkata|Presidency College]] in Calcutta, and from 1939 to 1942, served as Senior Professor of Mathematics and officer-in-charge at the Astronomical Observatory. Following this appointment, he joined Presidency College as the Vice-Principal, and in 1943 assumed the position of Acting Principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.96390/2015.96390.Presidency-Collegecalcutta-Centenary-Volume_djvu.txt|title=Presidency College, Calcutta Centenary Volume}}</ref> From 1944 to 1948, he was appointed as Principal at [[Hooghly Mohsin College]] in Chinsurah. In 1948, he was appointed as the Principal of Presidency College in Calcutta and in 1951, he retired and started practicing as a homeopath.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.insaindia.res.in/detail.php?id=N36-0270|title=Deceased Fellow - Jyotirmoy Ghosh}}</ref>

==Research==
Ghosh authored several publications in mathematics, and over sixteen non-academic works under the alias Bhaskar (Bhaskara, Baskar) Ghosh. He also wrote Ganiter Bhitti and Banglay Ganit Siksa in his name, which were published by the University of Calcutta. His research was primarily focused on the case of strain in a gravitation sphere,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-edinburgh-mathematical-society/article/einsteinian-gravitational-field-of-a-heterogeneous-fluid-sphere/17C7E2E37C6EE95B8420FAAB00CD7DC4|title=Einsteinian Gravitational Field of a Heterogeneous Fluid Sphere}}</ref> problems of vibrations including the torsional vibrations of a tube, longitudinal vibrations of a hollow cylinder, and transverse vibrations of a thin rotating rod, and of a rotating circular ring.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-edinburgh-mathematical-society/article/transverse-vibrations-of-an-elliptic-plate/199499390DC7E534C68213FDF0418352|title=Transverse Vibrations of an Elliptic Plate}}</ref>

Ghosh was one of the few Indian physicists who communicated with Albert Einstein. He sent Einstein a short paper discussing certain types of radially symmetric solutions of the new equations of gravitation, while highlighting Einstein's work published in the ''[[Mathematische Annalen]]''. He worked over 6 years to solve the problem. ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' wrote that on June 2, 1935, it received a short letter from Ghosh "To make it intelligible to a wider range of readers it seems advisable to incorporate it with some reference to Einstein’s own work." The gravitational equations (Rpq – 1/2 gpq R = – 8Π E pq) originally proposed represent a law of conservation of momentum or mass and energy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/article28260092.ece|title=Legacy of a polymath}}</ref><ref name=EIN/>

Ghosh has worked on the theory of elasticity and [[theory of relativity]]. He also obtained solutions of the gravitational equations for fluid mass in which the radial and transverse stresses are linearly related. He found that the solutions in these general forms included, as special cases, the solutions of Einstein, [[Willem de Sitter|De Sitter]] and [[Karl Schwarzschild|Schwarzschild]].<ref name=EIN/>

==Awards and honors==
Ghosh was a Fellow of [[Indian National Science Academy]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.insaindia.res.in/detail.php?id=N36-0270|title=Deceased Fellow}}</ref> and the [[Indian Institute of Science|National Institute of Sciences of India]], a Life member of the [[Calcutta Mathematical Society]],{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} a Member of the [[Indian Physical Society]], and the Indian Science News Association, and was also associated with the Board of Higher Studies, University of Calcutta.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The film was released in select cinemas in the state of Karnataka on 26 January 2024. The film received critical acclaim.

Reviewing the film at the [[Chennai International Film Festival]] in 2022, a critic from ''[[The News Minute]]'' wrote that "''Hadinelentu'' is a razor-sharp social commentary. Additionally, it also persuades its viewers to think deeper about the age of consent for sexual relationships, which makes it particularly relevant".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/hadinelentu-review-prithvi-konanur-s-powerful-film-explores-caste-bias-teen-sexuality-171133|title=Hadinelentu review: Prithvi Konanur's powerful film explores caste bias, teen sexuality|date=20 December 2022|work=[[The News Minute]]|first=Saradha|last=U.|access-date=16 February 2024|archive-date=14 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214100015/https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/hadinelentu-review-prithvi-konanur-s-powerful-film-explores-caste-bias-teen-sexuality-171133|url-status=live}}</ref>

A critic from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "It’s surprising how ''Hadinelentu'' hardly fumbles. That’s what makes the film world-class".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/hadinelentu-movie-review-a-gripping-reflection-of-societys-unfair-power-structures/article67776178.ece|title='Hadinelentu' movie review: A gripping reflection of society's unfair power structures|work=[[The Hindu]]|first=Vivek M.|last= V.|date=25 January 2024|url-access=subscription|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240125130414/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/hadinelentu-movie-review-a-gripping-reflection-of-societys-unfair-power-structures/article67776178.ece|archive-date=25 January 2024|access-date=16 February 2024}}</ref>

A critic from ''[[HT Media|OTTplay]]'' rated the film {{Fraction|3|1|2}} out of 5 and wrote that "Prithvi, though, is more interested in the by-products of this act – gender disparity, casteism and classism – all of which makes Hadinelentu a riveting watch from start to finish".<ref name="O">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/hadinelentu-movie-review-two-teenagers-a-viral-sex-video-and-a-classy-portrayal-of-the-aftermath/8e4da226b1929|title=Hadinelentu review: A viral sex video and a classy portrayal of the aftermath|date=25 January 2024|first=Prathibha|last=Joy|website=[[HT Media|OTTPlay]]|access-date=16 February 2024|archive-date=14 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214100009/https://www.ottplay.com/review/hadinelentu-movie-review-two-teenagers-a-viral-sex-video-and-a-classy-portrayal-of-the-aftermath/8e4da226b1929|url-status=live}}</ref>

Special Leave Petitions in India

2026-03-23T07:23:26Z

Deepanboopathy:

{{Short description|Power of the Supreme Court of India}}
In India, '''Special Leave Petitions''' (SLP) holds a prime place in the [[Judiciary of India]], and has been provided as a [[residual power]] in the hands of [[Supreme Court of India]] to be exercised only in cases when any substantial [[question of law]] is involved, or gross injustice has been done. It provides the aggrieved party a special permission to be heard in apex court in [[appeal]] against any judgment or order of any court/tribunal in the territory of India, except military tribunal and court martial.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lawsenate.com/publications/articles/special-leave-petition-slp.pdf |title=Special Leave Petitions in Indian Judicial System |publisher=Lawsenate.com |accessdate=2014-03-04}}</ref>

[[The Constitution of India]] under Article 136 vests the Supreme Court of India, the apex court of the country, with a special power to grant special leave, to appeal against any judgment or order or decree in any matter or cause, passed or made by any Court/tribunal in the territory of India. It is to be used in case any substantial constitutional question of law is involved, or gross injustice has been done.

It is discretionary power vested in the Supreme Court of India and the court may in its discretion refuse to grant leave to appeal. The aggrieved party cannot claim special leave to appeal under Article 136 as a right, but it is privilege vested in the Supreme Court of India to grant leave to appeal or not.

==Restrictions==
SLP can be filed against any judgment or decree or order of any High Court /tribunal in the territory of India; or, SLP can be filed in case the [[High court]] refuses to grant the certificate of fitness for appeal to Supreme Court of India.

SLP can be filed against any judgment of High Court within 90 days from the date of judgement;<ref name=":0">Chapter XVI of The Supreme Court Rules, 1966 https://righttoinformation.wiki/_media/rules/supreme_court_rules_1966.pdf</ref> or SLP can be filed within 60 days against the order of the High Court refusing to grant the certificate of fitness for appeal to Supreme Court.<ref name=":0" />

Any aggrieved party can file SLP against the judgment or order of refusal of grant of certificate.

Refusal of a certificate of appeal by the High Court indicates that the case is not considered fit for appeal under constitutional provisions. However, the aggrieved party may still approach the Supreme Court by filing a Special Leave Petition under Article 136. The Supreme Court is not bound by the High Court’s view and may independently grant leave, subject to the limitation period of about 60 days.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zenanta |date=2026-01-02 |title=Special Leave Petition (SLP) – Meaning, Filing Process, Grounds & Limitation |url=https://zenanta.in/special-leave-petition-slp-supreme-court-guide/ |access-date=2026-03-23 |language=en-US}}</ref>

This petition is required to state all the facts that are necessary to enable the court to determine whether SLP ought to be granted or not. It is required to be signed by Advocate on record. The petition should also contain statement that the petitioner has not filed any other petition in the High court.
It should be accompanied by a certified copy of judgement appealed against and an [[affidavit]] by the petitioner verifying the same and should also be accompanied by all the documents that formed part of pleading in Lower court.

==The scope of power vested with the Supreme Court of India under Article 136==

The constitution of India vest "discretionary power" in the Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court of India may in its discretion be able to grant special leave to appeal from any judgment or decree or order in any matter or cause made or passed by any Court/tribunal in the territory of India. The Supreme Court of India may also refuse to grant the leave to appeal by exercising its discretion.

An aggrieved party from the judgment or decree of high court cannot claim special leave to appeal as a right but it is privilege which the Supreme Court of India is vested with and this leave to appeal can be granted by it only.

An aggrieved party can approach the Apex Court under Article 136 in case any constitutional or legal issue exists and which can be clarified by the Supreme Court of India. This can be heard as civil or [[Criminal appeal]] as the case may be.

The title "Log Kya Kahenge" refers to the common stigma facing women in Indian society who are expected to behave in a certain manner and agree to pre[[arranged marriages]]. The film deals with themes of murder and adultery.

==Plot==
Roma is forced into a pre-arranged marriage with a widower. She comes to detest her husband and his son and the life that has been enforced upon her. She begins an affair with another man. One day her stepson discovers her with the other man and she kills him to prevent him from telling her husband. Ultimately she also kills her husband as her mental health declines and she becomes insane.

==Cast==
* [[Sanjeev Kumar]] as Dr. Jeevan
* [[Shabana Azmi]] as Roma
* [[Shatrughan Sinha]] as Ram Sinha
* [[Navin Nischol]] as Gopal
* [[Aruna Irani]] as Sadhna

==Themes and reception==
The name "Log Kya Kahenge" (What will People Think) stems from a common Indian yardstick and social stigma against women who may challenge social norms of marriage and other expected forms of behaviour, a "stress-inducing" expectation surrounding women and arranged marriages.<ref name="Das2002">{{cite book|last=Das|first=Gurcharan|title=The elephant paradigm: India wrestles with change|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ztkSAQAAMAAJ|access-date=7 June 2012|date=1 November 2002|publisher=Penguin Books|isbn=978-0-14-302910-6|page=122}}</ref><ref name="SinghGuha2000">{{cite book|last1=Singh|first1=Sunny|last2=Guha|first2=Tapas|title=Single in the city: the independent woman's handbook|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=67AoAAAAYAAJ|access-date=7 June 2012|year=2000|publisher=Penguin Books|page=23|isbn=9780141000244}}</ref><ref name="(India)2007">{{cite book|title=The non-fiction collection: twenty years of Penguin India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WNULAQAAMAAJ|access-date=7 June 2012|year=2007|publisher=Penguin Books|isbn=978-0-14-310356-1|page=101}}</ref><ref name="Chaudhary2004">{{cite book|last=Chaudhary|first=Nandita|title=Listening to culture: constructing reality from everyday talk|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hcxhAAAAMAAJ|access-date=7 June 2012|year=2004|publisher=Sage Publications|isbn=978-0-7619-3200-0}}</ref> One author said "In our sheltered Indian middle class homes, for every woman there is an unconsciously used Indian yardstick called, 'log kya kahenge'."<ref name="Women work">{{cite book|title=Women work and environment: studies in gender geography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cT7aAAAAMAAJ|access-date=7 June 2012|year=1998|publisher=Bangladesh Geographical Society and IGU Commission on Commercial Activity|isbn=978-984-716-000-9|page=236}}</ref>

The film was not amongst the blockbusters of 1982 and neither is it regarded today as a classic of Hindi cinema, remaining largely forgotten. However, the film draws upon the concept of women and challenging society and is therefore remarkable for the social situation of the era. The film gained some notoriety for the scene in which Roma throttles her husband's son to prevent him from informing her husband of her affair with another man, and shocked viewers in India. Shabana herself said light-heartedly of the scene, "I remember seeing that completely evil look on my face ... and I was shocked by it. Was I capable of such evil?"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/from-sati-savitri-to-the-slutty-savvy-news-bollywood-kkfvHCfjgfi.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130203100843/http://www.sify.com/movies/from-sati-savitri-to-the-slutty-savvy-news-bollywood-kkfvHCfjgfi.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 February 2013|title=From Sati Savitri to the Slutty Savvy

'''''Tathastu''''' ({{langx|en|So be it|italic=yes}}) is a 2006 Indian [[Hindi cinema|Hindi]]-language [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] directed by [[Anubhav Sinha]], starring [[Sanjay Dutt]] and [[Ameesha Patel]] in the lead roles. It is based on the 2002 American film ''[[John Q.]]''<ref name=Bh/><ref name=Rediff/>

==Plot==
Ravi Rajput comes from a poor family; his father was a foreman at a mill and could not afford to send Ravi to a private school. Ravi studied in a municipal school, got a job in a mill, and married Saru, who subsequently gave birth to their son, Gaurav. The proud parents watch as Gaurav grows up, starting walking, talking, and feigning illness just to stay home and watch [[World Cup Cricket]]. Their lives are turned upside down when Gaurav faints while playing cricket.

They take him to the nearest hospital in [[Bandra]], where Doctors Nita and Sen inform them that their son is dying and will not survive unless he receives a [[Heart transplantation|heart transplant]], the cost of which is 15 lakhs rupees. A heart is available for transplant, but the hospital will only perform the surgery on receipt of the money. A desperate Ravi turns to his [[insurance company]], which declines to renew his policy, citing an obscure clause; his employer, with whom he has worked for over 11 years, refuses to sanction above Rs.75000/-.

When nothing works out and Dr. Sen informs Ravi that his son will soon be discharged and will probably die soon after, he gets a gun and holds 30 people [[hostage]] in the hospital until the doctor agrees to operate on his son. DCP Rane is assigned to this matter, and his orders are to kill Ravi and end this drama. Meanwhile, the hostages realize how good a man Ravi is when he lets a pregnant woman deliver with full medical care, helps a woman facing [[domestic abuse]], as well as an elderly gentleman whose son values money more than his father. Outside, he becomes a dark hero when the media reports that he is doing it to save his son, with a huge crowd gathering in his support.

But Ravi persists and is finally told that Gaurav will soon be operated upon. Relieved, Ravi decides to release all the hostages. He then sees that while a surgery is taking place, it is of an elderly politician (the President of the ruling political party, Narayan Swami) rather than his son. In desperation, he decides to end his life and give his heart to his son. After meeting his son for a few moments, he walks out with the hostages (who have all decided to support him) and his wife and proclaims to the world that he will end his life and give his heart to his son.

As he is about to shoot himself, the deputy leader of the ruling political party comes and asks him to listen to him. He informs him he has spoken to the President, who has decided to forgo his life since he loves children, requesting that the heart be given to the child. He assures Ravi that it is true and also that the party will take care of all the expenses of the operation. The entire crowd applauds the deputy leader, and Ravi lowers his gun. When the deputy leader's assistant comes to him and inquires (in a whisper) urgently what will happen to the President, and that the President said no such thing, the deputy leader tells him that this is politics. If they had operated and saved the President's life, then this entire crowd who is pro-Ravi would have thrown them out of power. Now, by sacrificing the President, they have gained huge popular support and will win the next elections.

Ravi is arrested and taken to court. The judge takes a very lenient view of the situation based on the hostages' evidence and sentences Ravi to a light sentence of six months. DCP Rane leads the applause from the entire court as Ravi looks on. The film ends with Gaurav playing cricket and his parents watching him.

The '''Municipal Corporation of Delhi''' ('''MCD''') is the [[municipal corporation]] that governs most of [[Delhi]], a [[union territory]] of India. The MCD is among the largest municipal bodies in the world providing civic services to a population of about 20 million citizens in Delhi, apart from the capital [[New Delhi]] and [[Delhi Cantonment]].<ref name=":0" />

It is headed by the [[List of mayors of Delhi|Mayor of Delhi]], who presides over elected councillors from 250 wards. The municipal corporation covers an area of 1,397.3 km2 (539.5 mi2).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Municipal Corporation of Delhi |url=https://mcdonline.nic.in/portal |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250915100827/https://mcdonline.nic.in/portal |archive-date=15 September 2025 |access-date=2022-05-25 |website=mcdonline.nic.in}}</ref> The annual budget of the corporation for the fiscal year 2025-26 exceeds ₹17,000 crore (approximately US$2 billion).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-02-13 |title=MCD Budget: लंबे इंतजार के बाद एमसीडी का पेश होगा बजट, कोई नया टैक्स नहीं, जानें जानकारी |url=https://topharyana.com/business/mcd-budget-mcd-to-present-budget-after-long-wait-no-new-tax/cid16217540.htm |access-date=2025-02-13 |website=topharyana.com |language=hi |archive-date=13 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250213073942/https://topharyana.com/business/mcd-budget-mcd-to-present-budget-after-long-wait-no-new-tax/cid16217540.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

MCD is one of three municipalities in the [[National Capital Territory of Delhi]], the others being the [[New Delhi Municipal Council]] (NDMC), which administers the [[New Delhi]] municipality, and the [[Delhi Cantonment|Delhi Cantonment Board]], which administers the [[Delhi Cantonment]]. It is the largest and only municipality of Delhi which is directly elected by the people.

[[File:Three Municipalities of Delhi as of 2022.png|thumb|Geographic ambit of the three municipal corporations of Delhi]]

== History ==
MCD came into existence on 7 April 1958 under an Act of Parliament. Previously, the DMC (Delhi Municipal Committee) was the principal civic body of Delhi. [[Guru Radha Kishan]] served for the longest consecutive period as a councillor of the MCD (initially referred to as the Delhi Municipal Committee).<ref name=ht1>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/interactives/delhi-independence-day-timeline/ "Delhi in 70 years."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240120062012/https://www.hindustantimes.com/interactives/delhi-independence-day-timeline/ |date=20 January 2024 }}, ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', 15 August 2017.</ref> Trilok Chand Sharma served as the first elected Mayor of Delhi. Thereafter, the municipal body has always been alive in its constitution and functioning to the growing needs of citizens. The 1993 amendment of the Act brought about fundamental changes in composition, functions, governance and administration of the corporation.

===Trifurcation===
On 13 January 2012, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was trifurcated into three smaller municipal corporations. The [[North Delhi Municipal Corporation]] and [[South Delhi Municipal Corporation]] each contained 104 municipal wards, whereas the smaller [[East Delhi Municipal Corporation]] contained 64 wards.

=== Reunification ===

In March 2022, the [[Delhi State Election Commission]] indefinitely deferred the municipal elections that were scheduled for April 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-22 |title=MCD elections preparations on hold, state poll body issues notice |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/mcd-elections-prep-on-hold-state-poll-body-issues-notice-101650585464504.html |access-date=2022-05-28 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en |archive-date=24 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524041609/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/mcd-elections-prep-on-hold-state-poll-body-issues-notice-101650585464504.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On 22 March, the [[Government of India|Union Government]] approved the [[Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022|Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill]] to merge the three municipal corporations into a single unified body.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-22 |title=Union Cabinet clears Bill to merge three municipal corporations of Delhi |url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/union-cabinet-clears-bill-to-merge-three-municipal-corporations-of-delhi-11647941278353.html |access-date=2022-03-23 |website=mint |language=en |archive-date=10 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220510153124/https://www.livemint.com//news/india/union-cabinet-clears-bill-to-merge-three-municipal-corporations-of-delhi-11647941278353.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Lok Sabha]] passed the Bill on 30 March 2022,<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 March 2022 |title=Lok Sabha approves Bill to reunify Delhi's MCDs after 10 years |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ls-approves-bill-to-reunify-delhi-s-mcds-after-10-years-101648665885431.html |access-date=21 April 2022 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en |archive-date=21 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421193726/https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ls-approves-bill-to-reunify-delhi-s-mcds-after-10-years-101648665885431.html |url-status=live }}</ref> whereafter it was passed by the [[Rajya Sabha]] on 5 April 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |date=5 April 2022 |title=Rajya Sabha passes Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022 |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/rajya-sabha-passes-delhi-municipal-corporation-amendment-bill-2022/article65293845.ece |access-date=21 April 2022 |issn=0971-751X |archive-date=21 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421193726/https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/rajya-sabha-passes-delhi-municipal-corporation-amendment-bill-2022/article65293845.ece |url-status=live }}</ref> The unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi formally came into existence on 22 May 2022 with Ashwani Kumar and Gyanesh Bharti taking charge as Special Officer and Commissioner, respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-22 |title=Delhi's unified municipal corporation formally comes into existence |url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/delhis-unified-municipal-corporation-formally-comes-into-existence-10704951.html |access-date=2022-05-28 |website=Firstpost |language=en |archive-date=28 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220528162702/https://www.firstpost.com/india/delhis-unified-municipal-corporation-formally-comes-into-existence-10704951.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Elections were held on [[2022 Delhi Municipal Corporation election|4 December 2022]], with [[Aam Aadmi Party]] winning the majority of seats.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-08 |title=Delhi MCD election results: AAP wins civic body polls, ends BJP's 15-year run |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/delhi-mcd-election-results-aap-wins-civic-body-polls-ends-bjps-15-year-run-8312039/ |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=The Indian Express |language=en |archive-date=25 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230125230627/https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/delhi-mcd-election-results-aap-wins-civic-body-polls-ends-bjps-15-year-run-8312039/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-12-07 |title=AAP wrests control of MCD from BJP by ending 15 years' rule, wins 134 seats |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/aap-wrests-control-of-mcd-from-bjp-by-ending-15-years-rule-wins-134-seats/articleshow/96055633.cms |access-date=2025-11-10 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=7 September 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250907001831/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/aap-wrests-control-of-mcd-from-bjp-by-ending-15-years-rule-wins-134-seats/articleshow/96055633.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> However in 2025, [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] gained control of the corporation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-25 |title=Delhi mayoral polls: BJP takes control of MCD as Raja Iqbal wins race, AAP stays away -

==Standing Committee==
The Standing Committee is the highest decision-making executive body of the MCD, comprising 18 members. It oversees the corporation's financial functions, approves projects, and is responsible for discussing, finalizing, and implementing policies for the capital city. Additionally, the committee has the authority to appoint sub-committees to address specific issues such as education, environment, and parking, as well as to draft and enforce regulations.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2023-02-22 |title=AAP has won the mayor polls.

== History ==
The first [[Tower block|high-rise]] building in [[Bengaluru]] over {{convert|100|m|ft|0}} was the [[Public Utility Building, Bengaluru|Public Utility Building]] on [[M G Road, Bengaluru|M.G. Road]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=T.R |first=Jahnavi |date=2022-05-29 |title=Height of neglect: Bengaluru's Public Utility Building a shadow of its former self |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/few-give-one-of-bengalurus-oldest-skyscraper-a-second-look/article65440357.ece |access-date=2025-06-24 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Standing at {{convert|106|m|ft|0}} with 25 floors, it was the [[List of tallest buildings in India|tallest building in India]] at the time of its completion in 1973 before being surpassed by the [[World Trade Centre, Mumbai|World Trade Centre Mumbai]] in 1974. The Public Utility Building was only the second building in India to surpass a height of {{convert|100|m|ft|0}} and remained a dominant feature of Bengaluru's skyline for decades. The building housed [[Office|offices]], [[Retail format|retail outlets]], and a [[hotel]], and served as an early example of vertical [[mixed-use development]] in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tale of Utility Building now turns a story of futility |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/315676/tale-utility-building-now-turns.html |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>

=== Late 20th century: Early developments ===
Bengaluru's ascent as a technology centre began in the 1980s and 1990s with the establishment of major [[Science park|IT parks]] like [[Electronic City]] and [[Whitefield, Bengaluru|Whitefield]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=O'DeaJanuary |first=Christopher |date=February 2016 |title=Bangalore: Electronic city |url=https://realassets.ipe.com/asia-pacific/bangalore-electronic-city/10011826.article |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=Real Assets |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> Early high-rises were limited, primarily [[Low-rise building|low-rise]] and mid-rise office buildings, due to [[Zoning|regulatory constraints]] and proximity to the [[HAL Airport]], which was located in the heart of the city and served as the city's only [[airport]] until 2008.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Moodie |first=Martin |date=2008-05-25 |title=Take-off time in Bangalore: Bengaluru International Airport gets away to historic, satisfactory start-up – 26/05/08 |url=https://moodiedavittreport.com/take-off-time-in-bangalore-bengaluru-international-airport-gets-away-to-historic-satisfactory-start-up-260508/ |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=Moodie Davitt Report |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== 2000s: Policy reforms and rise in vertical development ===
The [[Bangalore Development Authority]] (BDA) and the newly-formed [[Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike]] (BBMP) relaxed the [[Floor area ratio|floor area ratio (FAR)]] norms in the 2000s, particularly in newly planned zones like the [[Outer Ring Road, Bengaluru|Outer Ring Road]] and [[Bengaluru|North Bengaluru]].<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Khan |first1=Sobia |last2=Nair |first2=Athira |date=2015-03-04 |title=Bengaluru allows helipads atop 20 high-rise buildings, residential towers |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/infrastructure/bengaluru-allows-helipads-atop-20-high-rise-buildings-residential-towers/articleshow/46452508.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-06-24 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref> Moreover, with the inauguration of the [[Kempegowda International Airport]] in 2008 and cessation of [[Commercial aviation|commercial flight]] operation at the HAL Airport in May 2008, the height restrictions in several parts of the city were relaxed.<ref name=":3" /> This resulted in a surge of mid-rise construction across both residential and commercial use. The late 2000s witnessed the completion of several iconic [[Tower block|high-rises]] like the Canberra Tower, Concorde Tower, and UB Tower, all of which were completed within the [[UB City|UB City complex]] in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |last2= |last3= |first3= |date=21 October 2008 |title=Sophistication steps into town |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/lounge/sophistication-steps-into-town/articleshow/22379079.cms |access-date=2025-06-24 |website=Bangalore Mirror |language=en}}</ref> At {{convert|123|m|ft|0}} in height, [[UB City|UB Tower]] surpassed the Public Utility Building, which had remained the tallest building in Bengaluru for 35 years.

=== 2010s–2020s: Skyscraper era ===
The completion of the [[World Trade Center Bengaluru|World Trade Center]] in 2010 (128m, 32 floors) signaled strong momentum towards vertical development in the city. The [[UB City|UB Tower]] and the [[World Trade Center Bengaluru|World Trade Center]] were among the first glass-clad high-rises in the city and set a design template for subsequent development.<ref name=":2" /> A combination of soaring demand, scarcity of land within key [[Central business district|business districts]], and rising office prices accelerated construction of high-rise buildings.<ref>{{Cite news |date=14 April 2025 |title=CREDAI Bengaluru recommendations seek government action for sustainable urban growth |url=https://www.constructionweekonline.in/business/credai-bengaluru-recommendations |work=Construction Week}}</ref> Mantri DSK Pinnacle, which was also the tallest building in South India when it topped out in 2013 at {{convert|153|m|ft|0}}, marked Bengaluru's entry into the [[skyscraper]] era.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2012-08-10 |title=Mantri Pinnacle-Ultra luxurious and tallest residential tower in South India |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/mantri-pinnacle-ultra-luxurious-and-tallest-residential-tower-in-south-india/articleshow/15405572.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-06-24 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-06-13 |title=Looking up to the sky |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/homes-and-gardens/looking-up-to-the-sky/article6111768.ece |access-date=2025-06-24 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Several residential and mixed-use [[Megaproject|mega projects]] are under construction in emerging suburbs along transit corridors and [[Satellite city|satellite towns]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Datta |first=Souptik |date=28 March 2025 |title=Bengaluru real estate: Is Devanahalli the IT capital's Gurugram in the making? |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/real-estate/bengaluru-real-estate-is-devanahalli-the-it-capital-s-gurugram-in-the-making-101743083075788.html |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref> As of 2025, over 1,500<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bangalore high-rises |url=https://www.emporis.com/city/100247/bangalore-india |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151003033505/http://www.emporis.com/city/100247/bangalore-india |archive-date=3 October 2015}}</ref> high-rise buildings dot the [[Metropolitan area|metropolitan region]], and that number continues to grow, signifying the city's sustained push toward vertical expansion.

==Death==

Lone and his guards were gunned down by two young assassins before they threw grenades and escaped on 21 May 2002 while commemorating the twelfth death anniversary of Kashmiri leader, [[Mirwaiz Maulvi Farooq]]. Eyewitnesses said that earlier in the day a group of youths arrived at the Idgah, shouting pro-Pakistan slogans, and two of them fired on Lone.<ref name="shot_dead">{{cite news|title=lone shot dead|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020522/main2.htm|accessdate=7 April 2015|work=The Tribune|date=22 May 2002}}</ref>

[[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] Chief Minister [[Farooq Abdullah]] said "Pakistan wants Kashmir and so is desperate in its action, which this killing has proved." The then Prime Minister of India, [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]], said, "Mr. Lone was assassinated because he was working for peace in Jammu and Kashmir."<ref name="shot_dead" />

His son [[Sajjad Lone]] said separatist leader [[Syed Ali Shah Geelani]] and Pakistani spy agency [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] were responsible for his father's death, then later said Abdullah had provided inadequate security to his father.<ref>{{cite news|title='White-collar' men killed Abdul Ghani Lone: Sons|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/white-collar-men-killed-abdul-ghani-lone-sons/article1-648809.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226031843/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/white-collar-men-killed-abdul-ghani-lone-sons/article1-648809.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 December 2014|accessdate=7 April 2015|work=Hindustan Times|date=11 January 2011}}</ref><ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/2002410.stm Thousands mourn Kashmiri separatist]</ref>

'''Amarda Road Airstrip''', also known as '''Rasgovindpur Airstrip''' is a former wartime airfield located near Rasgovindpur village in [[Mayurbhanj district]] of [[Odisha]], [[India]]. It was used by the [[Royal Indian Air Force]] during [[World War II]].

==History==

[[File:Wing Commander Frank Carey, Officer Commanding the Air Firing Training Unit, based at Amarda Road, India, standing by the nose of a Hawker Hurricane, April 1943. CI171.jpg|thumb|left|Wing Commander [[Frank Reginald Carey|Frank Carey]], Officer Commanding the Air Firing Training Unit, based at Amarda Road, India, standing by the nose of a [[Hawker Hurricane]], in April 1943.]]
The Amarda Road airstrip, as it was called in war terminology, spreads across an area of nearly 900 acres.<ref name="amarda"/> Built in the 1940s at a cost of Rs 3 crore, it was eventually abandoned after the war.<ref>{{cite news |title=WW-II era Amarda airstrip in Odisha cries for attention |url=https://www.asianage.com/india/all-india/290418/ww-ii-era-amarda-airstrip-in-odisha-cries-for-attention.html |website=The Asian Age |last1=Sahoo |first1=Akshaya Kumar |date=April 29, 2018}}</ref> It was probably named as Amarda Road Airfield because of the nearby Amarda Road railway station. The airfield was used by [[No. 136 Squadron RAF]],<ref>Jacobs, Vivian K. ''The Woodpecker Story''. Durham, UK: The Pentland Press Ltd., 1994. {{ISBN|1-85821-235-9}}. 1994, p. 156.</ref> [[No. 177 Squadron RAF]]<ref>{{cite book|year=1988|author=C.G.Jefford |isbn=1-85310-053-6|title=RAF Squadrons|publisher= UK Airlife Publishing }}</ref> and [[No. 607 Squadron RAF]]. The 'Air Fighting Training Unit', formed in February 1943, was also based here.

As an airfield, Amarda Road fell on the supply route for the [[National Revolutionary Army|Nationalist Armies]] of China in their fight against the Japanese. Aircraft of the RAF and the [[United States Army Air Forces]] (USAAF) would regularly fly from this space to [[China]] via [[Chabua]] (Dibrugarh), [[Jorhat]] and [[Vijaynagar, Changlang|Vijaynagar]] across the infamous hump route over Arunachal and East Tibet.

Amarda Road and other neighbouring airfields - [[Dhalbhumgarh]], [[Dudhkundi]], [[Salua]], [[Digri]], [[Salbani]] and [[Chakulia]] - formed a web of airfields created by the Allies to stop the impending [[Empire of Japan|Japanese]] advance in the east. During the war, Amarda Road was, to put it simply, a battle hub. After the war was over, most airfields, including this one, fell into disuse. Today, only the [[Kalaikunda]] airstrip, which was declared an Air Force Station in 1954, exists.

==Present condition==
Eight decades after the base was built, the {{convert|11,000|ft|m}} concrete runway is still intact, though the buildings that once cluttered the edges are gone.

There are proposals to renovate the airstrip for future operations under [[UDAN]] scheme from 2022.<ref>{{cite news |title=Amarda airstrip revamp in 2022: Bishweswar Tudu |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2021/sep/09/amarda-airstrip-revamp-in-2022-bishweswar-tudu-2356310.html |website=The New Indian Express |date=September 9, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Rasgobindpur now under UDAN scheme |url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2021/state-editions/rasgobindpur-now-under-udan-scheme.html |website=Daily Pioneer |date=June 20, 2021}}</ref> As of November 2022, the [[Government of India]] and the [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defence]] have cleared for the airstrip to be developed as a commercial airport by acquiring a land area of 160 acres, and developing it at a cost of ₹ 25 crores.<ref name="amarda">{{cite news|author1=Barik, Satyasundar|title=Decks cleared for development of World War II era airstrip into an airport in Odisha|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/decks-cleared-for-development-of-world-war-ii-era-airstrip-into-an-airport-in-odisha/article66172615.ece/|work=The Hindu|date=23 November 2022|access-date=26 November 2022|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author1=Bisoyi, Sujit|title=President Droupadi Murmu's home district to have airport, gets MoD nod|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bhubaneswar/president-droupadi-murmus-home-dist-to-have-airport-gets-mod-nod-8283931/lite/|work=The Indian Express|date=23 November 2022|access-date=26 November 2022|language=en}}</ref>

Jogajog (novel)

{{Short description|Novel by Rabindranath Tagore}}
{{italic title}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2025}}
{{Use Indian English|date=June 2025}}
'''''Jogajog''''' or '''''Yogayog''''' is a novel by [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. It was published in book form in 1929 ([[Asharh]] 1336). It was first serialised in the magazine ''Bichitra'' from [[Ashwin]] 1334 to [[Choitro]] 1335. In the first two issues the novel was titled ''Tin Purush''. In the third issue in [[Ogrohayon]] 1334, Rabindranath changed the name to ''Jogajog''.

The story revolves around the underlying rivalry between two families — the Chatterjees, aristocrats now on the decline (Biprodas) and the Ghosals (Madhusudan), representing new money and arrogance. Kumudini, Biprodas' sister, is caught between the two as she is married off to Madhusudan. She was brought up in a sheltered home where she had followed the traditional way of life and observed all the religious rituals like all the other womenfolk in the family. Her mental image of the husband is as someone who embodies all the qualities of the God she worships. Now, she is rudely shaken by the crude display of wealth and power by Madhusudan. Even if brought up to be a good, submissive wife, she balks at the idea of sharing the conjugal bed. "Madhusudan repeatedly used (this) money-worshipping strain to sneer at Kumu's family. His natural vulgarity, the coarseness of his speech, his arrogant discourtesy, the uncouthness of his body and mind that so deeply characterised his life: all this was something from which Kumu's whole being shrank every moment."
Over time Kumu retreated to her nutshell of spirituality. But a time finally comes when Kumu cannot take it anymore and she returns to her brother's house, only to realise that she is pregnant. Eventually an unwilling Kumu is forced to return to the Ghoshals.<ref>Ranjita Biswas's review of the translation by [[Supriya Chaudhuri]][https://web.archive.org/web/20060314233108/http://www.hindu.com/lr/2006/03/05/stories/2006030500080300.htm]</ref> The novel also highlights marital rape. Kumudini is subjected to marital rape by Madhusudan. There is also a sexual liaison between Madhusudan and Shyamasundari, the widow of Madhusudan's elder brother. Biprodas is a vociferous supporter of equal dignity and rights for women.

The novel was translated by [[Supriya Chaudhuri]] ([[Oxford University Press]], 2006) as part of the Oxford Tagore Translations.{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}

'''Prola I''' (r. c. 1052–1076 CE) was a member of the [[Kakatiya dynasty]] of southern India. As a [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] vassal, he participated in prince [[Vikramaditya VI]]'s campaigns, and consolidated the Kakatiya control over the area around [[Hanamkonda|Anumakonda]] by subjugating local chiefs. He obtained the Anumakonda ''[[vishaya]]'' and its neighbouring lands as a hereditary fief from the Chalukya king.

== Career ==

Prola I was a son of his predecessor [[Beta I]].{{sfn|Ghulam Yazdani|1960|p=578}} He probably ascended the throne around 1052 CE, as his father's last known record is dated 1051 CE, and his first record is dated 1053.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}} He probably ruled until around 1076 CE, when his son [[Beta II]] succeeded him.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|pp=47, 53}}

The [[Bayyaram]] inscription calls Prola I a lion to his elephant-like enemies (''Arigaja-Kesari'').{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}} Much of the information about Prola I's military career comes from the 1097–1098 CE Kazipet inscription issued by his grandson Durga-raja. This inscription credits him with the following achievements:{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|pp=45-46}}

* Setting right the affairs of the Chakra-kuta ''vishaya''
* Forcing Bhadranga to flee
* Defeating Konkana and spreading his fame all over the land
* Defeating the neighbouring chief Annaya of the great forest, the son of Kadparti Durga
* Killing Gonna, the Purukuta chief of Guna-sagara, in the battle

Bilhana's ''Vikramanka-deva-charitra'' states that as a prince, the Chalukya prince [[Vikramaditya VI]] campaigned in [[Konkan|Konkana]] (1066 CE), Chakra-kuta or Chakra-kota (in present-day [[Chhattisgarh]]), and Vengi.{{sfn|Ghulam Yazdani|1960|pp=578-579}} Prola probably participated in these Chalukya campaigns, as a subordinate of Vikramaditya, during the reign of king [[Someshvara I]].{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=46}} The Sanigaram inscription, issued during the reign of Someshvara, states that ''Mahasamanta'' Prola-rasa acquired kindness because of the king's kindness.{{sfn|R.S. Sharma|1957|p=200}}

The identity of Bhadranga is not certain, but he was probably a descendant of the [[Chalukyas of Vemulavada|Vemulavada Chalukya]] family. "Bhadranga" is the Sanskrit form of "Baddega", a name born by multiple rulers of this family. Moreover, inscriptions of Beta I (1051 CE) and Prola I (1053 CE) have been found at Sanigaram near Vemulavada, which suggests that the kakatiyas campaigned in this region. Beta I's inscription records a grant to the Yuddhamalla Jinalaya, a shrine built by the Vemulavada Chalukya chief Yuddhamalla at Sanigaram. Prola I's Sanigaram inscription states that the Kalyani Chalukya king rewarded him with Sabbi-nadu, which was earlier controlled by the Vemulavada Chalukyas. All these evidences suggest that Bhadranga may have been a Vemulavada Chalukya scion who ruled in this area until Prola I subjugated him.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=46}}

The identity of Annaya and Gonna is not certain, but they were probably petty chiefs.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=47}}

In addition to the traditional [[garuda]] symbol of the Kakatiya family, Prola seems to have adopted [[varaha]] insignia, which was a royal emblem of their new overlords, the Chalukyas of Kalyani. The Anumakonda inscription of Prola II states that the family adopted the varaha symbol on their coins and cattle as a mark of gratitude to Prola I, who raised their status just like the mythical varaha who raised the earth.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}} The rise in status credited to Prola I probably refers to him obtaining the Anumakonda ''vishaya'' and its neighbouring lands as a hereditary fief from the Chalukya king.{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}}{{sfn|Ghulam Yazdani|1960|p=578}}

== Construction of the ''Kesari'' tank ==

Prola I commissioned an irrigation tank called ''Kesari-tataka'' or ''Jagati-kesari'', named after his title (''biruda'') ''Kesari''. This is attested by the Motupalli inscription of his grandson Ganapati, and an inscription at the Ekamranatha temple in Kanchi.{{sfn|Ghulam Yazdani|1960|pp=579-580}}{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}} This tank may be same as the ''Kesari-samudra'' mentioned in the Anumakonda inscription of Prola II. It may be identified with a tank near [[Kesamudram]] (a corruption of ''Kesari-samudra'').{{sfn|P.V.P. Sastry|1978|p=45}}

}}The '''Rajgir Hills''', also known as "Rajgriha" hills, lie near the city of [[Rajgir]] in central regions of the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Bihar]]. It is surrounded by five hills named Ratnagiri, Vipulachal, Vaibharagiri, Songiri and Udaygiri. It is an important Buddhist, Hindu and Jain pilgrimage site.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | title = Rajgir Hills |encyclopedia= Encyclopædia Britannica | url = http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/490145/Rajgir-Hills | accessdate = 2014-09-10 }}</ref>

The hills consist of two parallel [[ridge]]s extending around 65 km. At their highest point, the hills rise to an [[altitude]] of 388 meters, but most of the hills are around 300 meters high. Between these two ridges lie a number of places of historical importance, dating from the period of the [[Mahabharata]], [[Shraman]] [[Bhagwan]] [[Mahavira]], [[Gautam Buddha]], [[Maurya Empire|Mauryas]] and the [[Gupta Empire|Guptas]]. The hills are sacred in both Buddhism and Jainism because of their association with the religions' respective founders, the historical [[Shraman]] [[Bhagwan]] [[Mahavira]] and [[Gautama Buddha]]. Therefore, the hills have often been the destination of religious pilgrimage for Jains and Hindus alike. There are multiple tourist spots spread around rajgir hills.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://travelnewsindia.com/best-tourist-places-visit-rajgir/|title=Rajgir Tourist Places to Visit, Rajgir Best Tourist Spots and Sightseeing|date=2016-08-22|work=Travel News India|access-date=2017-02-26|language=en-US}}</ref>

Because the spot was protected by two parallel ridges, [[Ajatashatru]] made it the capital of the east Indian empire [[Magadha (Mahajanapada)|Magadha]] in the 5th century BCE, naming it [[Rajgriha]]. Ajatashatru occupied the throne by imprisoning his father, the king [[Bimbisara]]. Bimbisara, who had been converted to Buddhism by the Buddha himself, requested that his prison be constructed near a small hillock so that he could watch the Buddha passing by in the morning and evening.

In modern day, visitors can follow a ropeway to the top of the hill to visit the Buddhist Shrine, [[Vishwa Shanti Stupa|Peace Pagoda]], near where the Buddha is believed to have preached the [[Lotus Sutra]]. On the descent, viewers can see the [[Vulture Peak|Vulture's Peak]] (Gridhra-kuta), where Buddha was said to have rested after the day's preaching.<ref>{{cite web | title = Rajgir | work = Bihar State Tourism IDevelopment Corporation | url = http://bstdc.bih.nic.in/Rajgir.htm | accessdate = 2014-09-10 | archive-date = 1 September 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140901024331/http://bstdc.bih.nic.in/Rajgir.htm | url-status = dead }}</ref>

About four kilometers from Peace Pagoda is the Brahma Kund<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.co.in/maps/dir/Rajgir+Kund+(Satdhara),+National+Highway+82,+Nimal,+Rajgir,+Bihar+803116/Viswa+Shanti+Stupa/@25.0032114,85.4226805,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x39f2e55d392c1a95:0x2e2846ca6f217396!2m2!1d85.4183824!2d25.013017!1m5!1m1!1s0x0:0x7cd047fd3d49e4e!2m2!1d85.4444882!2d25.0046957|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps|access-date=2016-11-16}}</ref> (one of several sacred sites throughout India of the same name). Here, hot water from seven different springs (together called Saptarshi, or seven sages) merge. The Brahma Kund is associated with healing power, likely due to the sulfur in the hot springs. There are also hot springs like surya kund which is famous for repair skin disease. There is also akhara of king Jarasandh. It also has many Jain and Buddhist temples, including Naulakha Mandir, Lal mandir and Virayatan.

[[Pant Wildlife Sanctuary]] was created in 1978, and protects an area of 35.84 km2.<ref>UNEP-WCMC (2020). Protected Area Profile for Pant (Rajgir) from the World Database of Protected Areas, November 2020. Available at: www.protectedplanet.net</ref>

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}
Grasim Industries Limited was incorporated in 1947.

Indo-Thai Synthetics Company Ltd was incorporated in 1969 in Thailand, started operations in 1970, this was Aditya Birla Group's first foray into international venture. Aditya Birla Group incorporated [[P.T. Elegant Textiles]] in 1973 in Indonesia. Thai Rayon incorporated in 1974, this was the second company in Thailand, operating in Viscose Rayon Staple Fiber. Century Textiles Co. Ltd. is taken over by Aditya Birla Group in 1974; this company is a weaving and dyeing plant manufacturing and exporting variety of synthetic fabrics. PT Sunrise Bumi Textiles incorporated in 1979, it produces yarn exported over 30 countries in 6 continents. P.T Indo Bharat Rayon incorporated in 1980 produces Viscose Staple Fiber in Indonesia. Thai Polyphosphates and Chemicals was started in 1984 in Thailand to produce Sodium Phosphates, and has merged with Thai Epoxy and Allied Products Company Limited (1992), Thai Sulphites and Chemicals Company Limited (1995) to form Aditya Birla Chemicals Ltd. This company supplies to sectors such as food, textiles, electrical and electronics, composites, leather, plastics and automobiles. PT Indo Liberty Textiles was incorporated in 1995 to manufacture synthetic spun yarn.

In 1985, the firm's activities in its [[Mavoor]] facility ran into controversies after it shut down, first temporarily and later on, permanently.

In late 1990s and later, the focus was the textile business following the end of [[Multi-Fiber Arrangement]] (MFA).

AV Cell Inc., a joint venture between Aditya Birla Group and Tembec, Canada, established operations in 1998 to produce softwood and hardwood pulp for the purpose of internal consumption among different units of the Group.

In 2012, Grasim Industries Ltd. and Tembec, Canada acquired AV Nackawic Inc., which produces dissolving pulp.

==Listed subsidiaries==
In 2004, Grasim acquired [[UltraTech Cement]] from [[Larsen & Toubro]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kapur |first1=Mansi |title=Grasim to get control of L&T cement business on July 1 |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/grasim-to-get-control-of-l-t-cement-business-on-july-1-104052801037_1.html |access-date=21 July 2022 |work=Business Standard India |date=28 May 2004}}</ref> In 2010, Grasim demerged its cement subsidiary, Samruddhi Cement, which contributed 76% of the company's turnover in the previous financial year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/business/grasim-tumbles-on-demerger-of-cement-business-88316|title=Grasim tumbles on demerger of cement business|website=NDTV.com}}</ref> Later that year, Samruddhi Cement was merged into UltraTech Cement.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ultratech-Samruddhi merger: August 25 fixed as record date |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/indl-goods/svs/cement/ultratech-samruddhi-merger-august-25-fixed-as-record-date/articleshow/6223059.cms |access-date=21 July 2022 |work=The Economic Times}}</ref>

'''''Hashemy''''' (or '''''Hashmy''''', or '''''Hashimy'''''), was a [[teak]]-built vessel launched at [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] in 1817. She was originally a country ship, trading east of the [[Cape of Good Hope]]. In 1829 she made one voyage as a [[whaler]] in the Southern Whale Fishery. From 1846 on she made several voyages transporting people, notably [[coolies]] from India to British Guiana, and [[convicts]] to Australia. She was probably [[Hulk (ship type)|hulked]] in Bengal c.1867.

==Career==
In 1819 ''Hashimy'' was registered at Calcutta with C.E.Smith, master, and Sayed Sadduck, owner.<ref name=EIRD>''East-India register and directory'' (1819), p.134.</ref> This information was unchanged in 1821, though the name of ''Hashimy''{{'}}s owner was given as Syed Saduck. In 1824 ''Hashmy''{{'}}s master was J.J. Denham, and her managing owner was Rustumjee & Co.<ref>''East-India register and directory'' (1824), p.154.</ref> In 1825 she was sold for a free trader.{{sfnp|Phipps|1840|p=108}}

''Hashemy'' entered ''[[Lloyd's Register]]'' (''LR'') in 1829. She had undergone small repairs in 1829.<ref name=LR1829>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015065537915?urlappend=%3Bseq=750 ''LR'' (1829), Supple. pages "H", Seq.№75.]</ref>

''Hashemy'' sailed in November 1829 with John Cook, master, on a whaling voyage, bound for Timor. She was reported at various times to have been at [[Kupang|Coupang]], Guam, [[Kosrae]], and [[New Zealand]]. Cook drowned at some point before May 1831.<ref name=bswf>{{cite web|title=British Southern Whale Fishery database – Voyages: ''Hashemy''|url=https://whalinghistory.org/bv/voyages/}}</ref> ''Hashemy'' was at Sydney on 5 April 1831. It was reported in the press she, "has put into port to procure a captain, her master having been struck out of the stern sheets, of a boat by the tail of a whale, and never seen afterwards."<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12845629?searchTerm=Master%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&searchLimits=l-state=New+South+Wales%7C%7C%7Csortby=dateAsc%7C%7C%7Cl-decade=183%7C%7C%7Cl-title=37%7C%7C%7Cl-year=1831 ''The Sydney Herald'', 18 April 1831, p.4]</ref> Command of the vessel was then given to Captain John Barker Harwood.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12843045?searchTerm=Hashmy%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc%7C%7C%7Cl-state=New+South+Wales%7C%7C%7Cl-decade=183 ''The Sydney Herald'', 16 May 1831, p.4]</ref> In Sydney, 100 tuns of her sperm whale oil and [[spermaceti|headmatter]] were sold for £60 a tun, an amount, "equal to that obtained in the London market."<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/2200612?browse=ndp%3Abrowse%2Ftitle%2FS%2Ftitle%2F3%2F1831%2F05%2F17%2Fpage%2F498892%2Farticle%2F2200612 ''The Sydney Gazette'', 17 May 1831, p.3]</ref> While ''Hashmy'' was coming from Japan, Harwood discovered an atoll that he named the Hashmy Group. This probably occurred in 1832. The atoll is now known as [[Namoluk]] Atoll.

''Hashemy'' arrived at Sydney again on 3 February 1833. The ''Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser'' reported on 7 March that ''Hashmy'' had been engaged to carry the oils of ''Nimrod'' and ''Australian'' to London.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/2211050 ''Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser'' (7 March 1833), p.3.]</ref> ''Hashemy'', Harford Arnold, master, sailed from Sydney on 2 May, bound for England with a cargo of colonial produce.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12846742 ''Sydney Herald'' (2 May 1833), p.2, "SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE". ]</ref> Contrary winds then delayed her departure by two days.

''Lloyd's Register'' for 1834 showed ''Hashemy'' with Hatfield, master, Templer, owner, and trade London–India.

Ross, Corbett and Co., acquired ''Hashemi'' in 1846. Captain John Ross may have been a part-owner as well. The new owners converted ''Hashemy'' to a barque.<ref name=Letters/> Thereafter she made several voyages transporting people, first [[coolies]] from India to British Guiana, and then convicts and settlers from England to Australia.

On 9 September 1846 ''Hashemy'' sailed from [[Chennai|Madras]] to British Guiana with 283 [[coolies]], of whom 226 were men, and the rest women and children. All survived the voyage.<ref>''General Report of the Emigration Commissioners, Volume 2'' (1847), pp.26 & 65.</ref> She delivered over 50 to New Bendorff on 5 December.

''Hashemy'', Captain John Ross, sailed from Portsmouth on 11 February 1849. She arrived at Sydney on 9 June.{{sfnp|Bateson|1959|pp=306–307}} She had embarked 237 male convicts, 16 of whom died on the voyage. She landed 221.{{sfnp|Bateson|1959|p=339}} By some accounts she sailed via Hobart, where she landed 29 [[Parkhurst apprentices]] and in May had stopped at Port Phillip.{{sfnp|Bateson|1959|pp=322-323}} However, subsequent research has revealed that ''Hashemi'' never stopped at Port Phillip, and was not even turned away.{{sfnp|Wilkie|2014}}

On 22 July 1850 Captain Ross sailed ''Hashemy'' from [[Isle of Portland|Portland]]. She arrived in Western Australia on 25 October.{{sfnp|Bateson|1959|pp=324-325}} She had embarked 100 male convicts and she landed all of them.{{sfnp|Bateson|1959|p=341}} She was the second vessel, after {{ship||Scindian}}, to deliver convicts to Western Australia. Captain Ross contracted with the Government to purchase 533 tons of guano at a modified price. In return Ross did not charge the Government for a considerable quantity of Government freight that ''Hashemy'' carried to [[Shark Bay]]. While in Shark Bay exploring for guano, Ross also mapped the area.<ref name=Letters/>

''Hashemy'' eventually left for London. She arrived at Gravesend on 17 August 1851.<ref name=Letters/>

''Hashemi'' was listed in ''Lloyd's Register'' until 1854, but with data that had been stale since 1850. However, in 1857 she reappeared with H. Boys, master, Beatson & Co., owners, and trade London–Mediterranean.<ref>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015065777479?urlappend=%3Bseq=199 ''LR'' 1857), Seq.№H133.]</ref> By 1860 her trade was Cardiff–South America. The last entry for her, with unchanged data, is from 1866.

==Fate==
The last online mention of a ''Hashemy'' is from 1868. In 1862 the British built [[Canning, South 24 Parganas|Port Canning]] on the [[Matla River]] in Bengal. On 1–2 November 1867 a [[Pre-1890 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons#November 1867 Great Calcutta cyclone|cyclone hit the Calcutta area]], doing significant damage. The storm's greatest damage occurred at Port Canning where a {{convert|5|ft|adj=on}} storm surge destroyed many buildings. A report stated that the Port Canning Company's store hulk ''Hashemy'' had carried away a great portion of the railway jetty.<ref>''Annual report on the administration of the Bengal Presidency'' (1868), pp.220-221.</ref> Although it has not been possible to verify that the ''Hashemy'' last listed in ''Lloyd's Register'' in 1866 is the ''Hashemy'' caught up in the cyclone in Bengal in 1867, the name is unique in the period.

'''Purandar Fort''' is a mountain fort in [[Pune district]] in the [[Western India]]n state of [[Maharashtra]], India.

== History ==
The oldest known reference to the existence of the Purandar fort dates back to the [[Yadava dynasty]] in the 11th century.{{cn|date=March 2022}}

After the end of the Yadava dynasty, the territory surrounding the fort fell into the hands of the invaders who further fortified the Purandar Fort in 1350 A.D. During the early rule of the [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate|Bijapur]] and [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate|Ahmednagar]] kings, Purandar Fort was among the forts directly under the government rule and was never entrusted to [[Jagirdar]]s.<ref name=gazette>{{Citation | last=Hunter| first=William| title=The Imperial Gazetteer of India| publisher=Trubner and Co.| place=London| year=1886| url = https://archive.org/stream/imperialgazettee11hunt/imperialgazettee11hunt_djvu.txt| access-date = 2009-01-18}}</ref>

Under the rule of the [[Bahamani Sultanate]], the fort was besieged several times. To prevent the Purandar Fort from ever falling again, a sacrificial ritual was performed where a man and a woman were buried alive under one of the fort bastions to appease its patron deity.<ref>[http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/pdf/gazeetter_reprint/Solapur/appendix_c.html#1 ''Sholapur District Gazetteer'']</ref> Another ritual was soon performed where the king ordered a minister to bury a first-born son and his mother into the foundation of the bastion which was promptly done with a further offering of gold and bricks. When the bastion was finished, the minister, Yesaji Naik, was given possession of the Purandar Fort and the father of the sacrificed boy was rewarded with two villages.<ref name="Toy, 1965">{{cite book|last=Toy|first=Sidney|title=The Fortified Cities of India|url=https://archive.org/details/fortifiedcitieso0000toys|url-access=registration|year=1965|publisher=Heinemann Educational Books Ltd.|location=London|page=[https://archive.org/details/fortifiedcitieso0000toys/page/51 51]}}</ref>

To protest Adilshahi commander Fatehkhan in 1649 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took the charge of fort temporarily from Raje Mahadaji Neelkanthrao Sarnaik who was his father's friend and commander of Purandar for 4 generations. On the occasion of Diwali in 1656 after 2 years of death of Mahadajipant Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took advantage of family disputes in Mahadajipant's 4 sons Neelkanth, Shankar, Tryambak/Pilaji and Vishwanath/Visaji and captured the fort.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.495002/page/n10/mode/1up | title=Shivcharitrya Sahitya Vol-3 | date=1930 }}</ref> In 1596 A.D, the ''Bahudar Shah'' of the [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate]] granted the territory of "Pune" and "Supa" to [[Malojiraje Bhosale]], the grandfather of Shivaji.{{cn|date=May 2021}} The Purandar Fort was included in the territory.

[[File:Vajragad fort.jpg|thumb|left|Vajragad Fort]]

In 1649 A.D, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, still in his youth, in one of his first victories for the [[Maratha Empire]], raided and established control of the fort. In 1665 A.D, the Purandar Fort was besieged by the forces of [[Aurangzeb]], under the command of [[Jai Singh I|Jai Singh]] and assisted by [[Diler Khan]]. [[Murar Baji Deshpande]] of [[Mahad]], who was appointed as the ''killedar'' (keeper of the fort), offered strong resistance against the Mughal forces ultimately giving up his life in a struggle to retain the fort. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, daunted at the prospect of the fall of his grandfather's fort, signed a treaty known as the [[Treaty of Purandar (1665)|First Treaty of Purandar]] with [[Aurangzeb]] in 1665. According to the treaty, Shivaji handed over twenty-three forts including Purandar, and a territory with a revenue of four lakh [[Shivrai|hons]] and was made the [[jagirdar]] of the territory. On 8th March 1670 the fort was recaptured by Neelakanth Sondev Bhadanekar, Amatya/Mazumdar of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj''.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/ShivcharitraPradip/page/n53/mode/1up |title=Jedhe Shakavali}}</ref>''

During the tenure of Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj (1689-1700) Mughal captured the fort once again but soon Marathas took the charge back under the leadership of Sachiv/Suranvis Shankaraji Narayan Gandekar.<ref>{{cite book |title= Marathyanche Swatantrya Samar Chhatrapati Rajaram |url=https://www.sspuranik.com/ssp_books/books_prefaces/SwatantryaSamar_2_preface.pdf

Under the [[Peshwa]] rule, the Purandar Fort acted as a stronghold whenever their capital city of [[Pune]] was under attack. In 1776 A.D, a treaty was signed between the [[British Raj]] and the [[Maratha Empire|Maratha States]] known as the [[Treaty of Purandar (1665)|Second Treaty of Purandar]]. Its conditions were never fulfilled, being overruled by the subsequent [[Treaty of Salbai]] in 1782 between the [[East India Company|Bombay Government]] and [[Raghunathrao]], at the close of the [[First Anglo-Maratha War]].<ref name=gazette/>

In 1818, the Purandar Fort was invaded by a [[United Kingdom|British]] force under General Pritzler. On 14 March 1818, a British garrison marched into Vajragad (the smaller fort). As Vajragad commanded Purandar, the commandant had to accept terms and the British flag was hoisted at Purandar on 16 March 1818. During the [[British Raj]], the fort was used as a prison. During World War II, it was an internment camp for enemy-alien (i.e. [[Germany|German]]) families. Jews from Germany were interned. A German prisoner, [[Dr. H. Goetz]] was held here during [[World War II]]. He studied the fort during his stay and later published a book on it. The fort's major use however, was as a [[sanatorium]] for the British soldiers.<ref name=express/>

The thousand-year-old [[Narayaneshwar]] temple {{citation needed|date=July 2017}} of the [[Hemadpanti architecture|Hemadpanthi architecture]] built by the [[Yadava dynasty|Yadavas]] still exists at the base village of the fort called [[Narayanpur, Pune|Narayanpur]].

[[File:Purandareshwar Temple.jpg|right|thumb|Temple of the Purandeshwar deity from which Purandar takes its name]]

It is believed that Purandar is the broken part of the ''Dronagiri Parvat'', which [[Hanuman]] carried in the [[Ramayana]].<ref name=gazette/>

== Structures ==

[[File:Cannon at the fort.jpg|thumb|Cannon at the top of the fort]]

The fort has two distinct levels. The lower part of Purandar is called the ''machi''. North of the machi is a flat area where the cantonment and hospital was housed.

There are many temples dedicated to Purandareshwar (the fort's patron god, from which it also takes its name) and Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa here. There is a statue of [[Murarbaji Deshpande]], the commander (''killedar'') of the fort who gave up his life in order to protect the fort from the [[Mughals]]. The northern part of the ''machi'' has a low fall with several bastions and an imposing gate with two towers.<ref name="gazette" />

[[File:Purandar fort 86.JPG|thumb|Statue of Murarbaji Deshpande]]

From the lower level of the ''machi'', a staircase leads to the upper level called ''Ballekilla''. The first structure of the ''Ballekilla'' that comes into view is the ''Dilli Darwaja'' (Delhi Gate). This area also houses an ancient Kedareshwar ([[Shiva]]) temple. The ''BALLEKILLA'' is also surrounded by steep drop on three sides.

== Current use ==

The Purandar Fort is a popular tourist destination and is also used by the [[National Cadet Corps (India)|National Cadet Corps]] academy for training purposes. The fort is a hotspot for [[paraglider]]s and [[backpacking (wilderness)|trekkers]].<ref name=express/>{{Additional citation needed|date=November 2021}}

{{Given name hatnote|Ramakrishnan|Alladi|lang=Malayali}}'''Alladi Ramakrishnan''' (9 August 1923 – 7 June 2008) was an Indian physicist and the founder of the [[Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai|Institute of Mathematical Sciences]] (IMSc) in [[Chennai]]. He made contributions to [[stochastic process]], [[particle physics]], algebra of [[Matrix (mathematics)|matrices]], [[special theory of relativity]] and [[quantum mechanics]].

== Early life ==
Ramakrishnan was born on 9 August 1923 in [[Madras]]. His father was the lawyer [[Sir Alladi Krishnaswami Iyer]], who, as a member of the Constituent Assembly, was instrumental in drafting the [[Constitution of India]] with other prominent members. He had his early education in P. S. High School, Madras. He graduated from [[Presidency College, Madras]], with [[B.Sc.|B.Sc. (Hons)]] degree in physics. As a student of the college he had wanted to work under [[Sir C. V. Raman]]. When his father consulted Raman, Raman suggested reading ''Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik''<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qFBivgAACAAJ Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik], snippets from [[Google Books]]</ref> by [[Georg Joos]]. Ramakrishnan studied the book and developed an interest in [[theoretical physics]] and [[special relativity]] in particular.<ref>{{cite web|title=An interview with Professor Alladi Ramakrishnan|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/aug/18alladi.htm|publisher=Rediff On The NeT|access-date=18 August 2010}}</ref>

== Career ==
After completing his studies at Presidency College, Ramakrishnan started working with [[Homi J. Bhabha|Homi Bhabha]] at the [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] (TIFR). At TIFR, Bhabha introduced him to Cascade Theory and Fluctuation Problem of Cosmic Radiation. In August 1949, he left for England to work under [[M. S. Bartlett]] at the [[University of Manchester]]. Ramakrishnan's work on Product Densities that he did while at TIFR was good enough work for a PhD. But he stayed in Manchester for two more years to complete his residency requirements. His work on Product Densities appeared in the Proceedings of the [[Cambridge Philosophical Society]].<ref name="alladik"/>

During the 1950s, he worked on the problem of Fluctuating Density Field, and published a series of eight papers on the subject. During 1957–1958 Ramakrishnan visited the [[Institute for Advanced Study]] in Princeton. It was the Institute of Advanced Study that inspired him to start a similar institution in India.<ref name="alladik"/> Ramakrishnan is noted for his work in quantum mechanics on giving a prescription for transition from [[Pauli matrices|Pauli]] to [[Dirac matrices]]. He also published several papers giving simple but insightful geometric derivations for the [[Lorentz transformations]].<ref name="alladik"/>

== Creation of Matscience ==
After his return to Madras (Chennai) from the Institute for Advanced Study in 1958, Ramakrishnan began a Theoretical Physics Seminar in his family home ''Ekamra Nivas'' (house with a mango tree). In the seminar he presented lectures on the latest advances in theoretical physics to a small group of students, and invited leading scientists from the world to address the students. In 1960, nobel laureate [[Niels Bohr]] visited India and was impressed by the small group of students trained by Ramakrishnan.<ref name="alladik">{{cite web|last=Alladi|first=Krishnaswami|title=Contributions of Professor Alladi Ramakrishnan to the Mathematical Sciences|url=http://krishnaswami-alladi.com/old-website/arcontributions.pdf|publisher=University of Florida|access-date=18 August 2010}}</ref> While in India, Bohr visited Dr. Ramakrishnan's family home, and inspired the creation of an institute for advanced research.<ref name="alladik"/><ref name="hin"/> With Bohr's recommendation and with support from the then prime minister of India, [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and C.Subramaniam, Alladi Ramakrishan set out to create the institute.

Ramakrishnan travelled and lectured extensively during his years at Matscience, holding lectures at over 200 centers of learning. He was unusually generous with providing opportunity and leave for his Ph.D. students to travel to centers of learning abroad, firmly believing that this was of benefit to his students and that research was an international activity, even if this brought with it the risk of losing talented students to other institutions. After retiring, Ramakrishnan continued to teach and inspire. In the last decades of his life, several high school students and undergraduates came to his home in Madras to learn with him, subsequently pursuing higher studies in the United States towards a career of research.<ref name="alladik"/>

== Personal life and death ==
Ramakrishnan was married to Lalitha Ramakrishnan, the daughter of mathematics professor H. Subramani Iyer. His son [[Krishnaswami Alladi]] is a professor of mathematics at the [[University of Florida]], [[Gainesville, Florida]].<ref name="alladik" /> Ramakrishnan was a connoisseur of [[Carnatic music]] and strongly believed that art and science can go hand in hand.<ref name="hin">{{cite news|last=Special correspondent|title=Alladi Ramakrishnan passes away|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/09/stories/2008060954341100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611051702/http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/09/stories/2008060954341100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 June 2008|access-date=18 August 2010|location=Chennai, India|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=9 June 2008}}</ref> He died on 7 June 2008 at his son's home in Gainesville, Florida.<ref>{{cite web|last=Alladi|first=Krishnaswami|title=Remembering my father Professor Alladi Ramakrishnan|url=http://krishnaswami-alladi.com//old-website/ark.html|access-date=18 August 2010}}</ref>

'''Ajmer Singh''' (born 1948) is a Sikh political thinker and author in the [[Punjabi language]]. He was an [[author]] for the majority of his life, working underground for 31 years. He is currently active in Sikh ideology and history, writing a series of books on Sikh history, and has been termed a [[Khalistan]] proponent.<ref name="Tribune 2021">[https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/how-extremist-elements-hijacked-farmers-rally%C2%A0and-deep-sidhus-role-in-chaos-203993 How extremist elements hijacked farmers' rally and Deep Sidhu's role in chaos] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929190815/https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/how-extremist-elements-hijacked-farmers-rally%C2%A0and-deep-sidhus-role-in-chaos-203993 |date=29 September 2023 }}, The Tribune, 27 January 2021.</ref> He is said to have been a deep influence on [[Deep Sidhu]]. the erstwhile founder of the Sikh activist organisation [[Waris Punjab De]].<ref name="Tribune 2021"/>

== Early life ==
Ajmer Singh was born on 15 June 1948 in Mandi Kalan, [[Bathinda district]] in [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], India. His parents were Gurdial Kaur and Bir Singh.<ref name="Singh Brothers">[https://www.singhbrothers.com/en/ajmer-singh Ajmer Singh], Singh Brothers, retrieved 13 March 2023.</ref>

He enrolled for the [[Bachelor of Engineering]] at the [[Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana|Guru Nanak Dev Engineering Coll]] in [[Ludhiana]]. But he left with his studies incomplete and joined the sikh activist movement.<ref name="Singh Brothers"/> He is said to have become the leader of activists in Punjab and remained underground for 10 years.<ref name="Sidhu">Jaspal Singh Sidhu, [https://sikhsiyasat.net/distorting-indian-freedom-struggle-history-to-strengthen-indian-nationalism-anchored-to-hindu-religious-ethos/ Distorting Indian Freedom Struggle History to Strengthen Indian Nationalism anchored to Hindu Religious Ethos], Sikh Siyasat News, 14 October 2013.</ref>

== Literary career ==
Ajmer Singh was transformed after the events of 1984, when the Indian government launched an [[Operation Blue Star|attack on the Golden Temple]] against the sikhs there. He visited Delhi two weeks later and drew conclusions about its political motivations. He wrote reports in his Leftist organisation's monthly newspaper and is said to have reconnected with his [[Sikhism|Sikh beliefs]].<ref name="1984livinghistory">[https://1984livinghistory.org/2014/01/29/ajmer-singh/ Ajmer Singh], ''1984 Living History'' website, 29 January 2014.</ref>

Afterwards, he wrote a series of four books on the history of Sikh politics in the 20th century, which included one on the 1984 developments termed "The unimaged catastrophe" and another termed the "Ideological encirclement of Sikhs".<ref name="Tribune 2015"/>

He also dug into the history of the [[Ghadar Movement]] of the early 20th century, and came up with the conclusion that it was primarily a Sikh revolutionary movement rather than an Indian nationalist movement. He wrote a book highlighting his interpretation.<ref name="Sidhu"/>

'''''Bhimayana: Incidents in the Life of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar''''' is a graphic biography of [[Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar]] published in 2011 by [[Navayana (publishing house)|Navayana]] and was hailed by CNN as being among the top five political comic books. It was created by artists [[Durgabai Vyam]], Subhash Vyam and writers Srividya Natarajan and [[S. Anand]]. It depicts the experiences of caste discrimination and resistance that Bhimrao Ambedkar recorded in his autobiographical illustrations, later compiled and edited in ''Babasaheb Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches'' by Vasant Moon under the title "[[Waiting for a Visa]]". It is one of India's top selling graphic books.

Bhimayana has been lauded for its use of Pardhan [[Gondi people|Gond]] art to signify the experiences of social discrimination faced by Ambedkar. It uses digna (images originally painted on the walls and floors of Pardhan Gonds’ houses) patterns and nature imagery. These paintings have been done traditionally by Gond people. Digna paintings have been brought to the notice of the modern world by artists like Jangarh Singh Shyam.<ref>"Digna Art "https://www.auchitya.com/digna-art-an-art-out-of-frame/</ref>
According to Jeremy Stoll, affiliate faculty at Metropolitan State University of Denver, ‘It is most remarkable for demonstrating the strength of Indian comics culture and providing a strong example of where folk and popular culture overlap’.<ref name="Stoll-2012">{{cite journal|first=Jeremy|last=Stoll|year=2012|title=Bhimayana: Experiences of Untouchability: Incidents in the life of BhimraoRamji Ambedkar|journal=Journal of Folklore Research Reviews|url=http://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/jfrr/article/view/3406/3173|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312163954/https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/jfrr/article/view/3406/3173 |archive-date=2016-03-12 }}</ref> In 2011, Bhimayana was included in the book 1001 Comics to Read Before You Die.

It has been published under the title ''Ambedkar: The Fight for Justice'' in the UK and the United States by Tate Publishing in 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/blogs/ambedkar-fight-justice-new-graphic-novel|title=Ambedkar: The Fight for Justice: a new graphic novel|website=www.tate.org.uk|access-date=2019-05-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503100522/https://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/blogs/ambedkar-fight-justice-new-graphic-novel|archive-date=2019-05-03|url-status=dead}}</ref> The book has been translated into several languages including Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Korean and French.

==Background==
Bhimayana is based on incidents narrated in B.R. Ambedkar's autobiographical notes. These notes were written in 1935 with the objective of disseminating information about the practice of [[untouchability]] to foreigners. He documented events from his own life and others’ to provide an idea of the caste discrimination against [[dalits]] that is sanctioned under Hinduism. [[Navayana (publishing house)|Navayana]] published them as ''Ambedkar: Autobiographical Notes'' in 2003.

==Sectional Summary==

===Dedication and Foreword===
The book is dedicated to [[Jangarh Singh Shyam]], a pioneer in contemporary Pardhan Gond art. He is credited by Udayan Vajpeyi to be the creator of a new school of art called Jangarh Kalam.<ref>Udayan Vajpeyi. 2010. "JangarhKalam: UdayanVajpeyi." {{cite web |url=http://pratilipi.in/2010/06/jangarh-kalam-udayan-vajpeyi/ |title=Pratilipi» कथेतर / Non-Fiction » Jangarh Kalam: Udayan Vajpeyi |accessdate=2015-07-17 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721072508/http://pratilipi.in/2010/06/jangarh-kalam-udayan-vajpeyi/ |archivedate=2015-07-21 }}</ref> He encouraged and guided Durgabai and Subhash Vyam, along with many other members of the Pardhan Gond community, to become artists. He was also Subhash Vyam's brother-in-law.

In the foreword, art critic [[John Berger]], most famous for his 1972 essay "[[Ways of Seeing]]", commends the refreshing form of story-telling that the book uses. Of it, he says, ‘No more [[proscenium]] arch. No more rectangular framing or unilinear time. No more profiled individuals. Instead, a conference of corporeal experiences across generations, full of pain and empathy, and nurtured by a complicity and endurance that can outlive the Market’. He believes that such texts will make readers more vested in the story and its message.

The graphic account begins with a [[frame story]] of an unnamed character complaining about ‘these damn job quotas for Backward and Scheduled Castes!’ who is immediately challenged by another character leading to a conversation about the history of caste atrocities in India. He is advised to read about Ambedkar to understand what happened at [[Khairlanji]].

The book then moves on to the narrative of Ambedkar's life in Books I, II and III.

===Book I – Water===

‘Water’ sets the scene in 1901, on an ordinary day in Ambedkar's life as a 10-year-old [[Mahar]] schoolboy. He is humiliated at the hands of the Brahmin teacher and the peon who, paranoid about the possibility of contamination, refuse him water. Young Bhim goes back home where he asks his aunt why he cannot drink from the tap like other boys, despite being cleaner than upper-caste students. The text also juxtaposes Ambedkar's own lack of access to water at school with his father's work in Goregaon, which entails ‘helping build a water tank for famine stricken people who would die if it weren't for his work’.

Young Bhim along with his siblings is invited to stay with his father in Masur. They get off the train to find that no one has come to receive them and seek the station master's help. As soon as they reveal that they are Mahars, the stationmaster turns hostile. He finds them a cart-ride on the condition that they pay double. Eventually they find their father's house. It turns out that his secretary had forgotten to inform him of their arrival.<ref name="Desai-2012">{{cite web|first=Prajna|last=Desai|date=18 April 2012|access-date=2023-12-28|title=Bhimayana: Experiences of Untouchability|url=https://www.tcj.com/reviews/bhimayana-experiences-of-untouchability/|website=The Comics Journal}}</ref>

The narrative voice moves back to the frame story here, and the unnamed storyteller concludes that Ambedkar said it was because of the secretary's mistake that he had learnt ‘the most unforgettable lesson about untouchability’. The section ends with an account of Ambedkar's [[Mahad Satyagraha|Mahad satyagraha]] against lack of access to water from the Chavadar Tank.

===Book II – Shelter===
This section is set in 1917, after Ambedkar returns from [[Columbia University]] to work for the Maharaja of Baroda who had sponsored his education. It starts with him boarding a train to Baroda and engaging in a conversation with a Brahmin. Soon Ambedkar realizes that his status as an untouchable, although forgotten by him during his stay abroad, is still an enormous issue in India.

In Baroda, he is subsequently denied entry into a Hindu hotel due to his caste status. Unable to find proper accommodation, he shifts into a decrepit [[Parsi]] inn but is thrown out after a few days. As he attempts to find shelter, his friends evade helping him citing problems at home, forcing him to wait in the Kamathi Baug public garden and subsequently, leave for Bombay.<ref name="Desai-2012"/>

The section ends with the narrative voice of the frame story re-emerging and highlighting caste based discrimination practiced by ‘liberal’ city dwellers. An article from [[The Hindu]] titled "Dalit Siblings Thrashed by Landlord" is also put forward to illustrate the difficulties faced by dalits while trying to find shelter in urban areas as well.

===Book III – Travel===

This section is set in Aurangabad, 1934, wherein Ambedkar travels to Daulatabad with a group of political workers of Mahar and other untouchable castes. Ambedkar reminisces about his experience during his trip to Bombay in 1929, when the untouchables of Chalisgaon sent their nephew to drive Ambedkar to their house on a Tonga because all the Tonga-drivers refused to give Ambedkar, a Mahar, a ride.<ref name="Desai-2012"/> The driver was unskilled and they meet with an accident, but receive prompt medical aid. Ambedkar then confronts the harsh truth that in a graded Indian society, a highly educated and renowned dalit will continue to be oppressed and deprived of dignity. The section mentions cases of dalits being denied medical care by hospitals. The narrative then shifts to the present, where Ambedkar and his colleagues are prevented from drinking from the water-tank at the Daulatabad fort by a mob of Muslims.

The section ends with the characters from the frame story discussing Ambedkar's contribution to social equality and justice in India as both an agitator and an architect of the Constitution. The polemic of Gandhi versus Ambedkar towards the end brings to the reader's attention that, unlike Gandhi, Ambedkar's was a far more universal struggle against injustice perpetrated by home-grown casteist oppressors.<ref name="Sivakumar-2011">{{cite news|first=Sowmya|last=Sivakumar|access-date=2023-12-28|title=Evocative masterpiece|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/|newspaper=The Hindu|date=30 April 2011|issn=0971-751X|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref>

===Book IV – The Art of Bhimayana===
This section focuses on the makers of Bhimayana through the same image-text language that has been used throughout the previous sections. This chapter is narrated through the voices of Durgabai Vyam and Subhash Vyam. They describe their own background, community, and the importance of Ambedkar in their own lives.<ref name="Stoll-2012"/>

This is followed by an afterword by S. Anand, which explores the process of making Bhimayana and the sources that were used to write the story. In the process, he points out the role of Pardhan Gond bards as the tradition-bearers of their communities in central India, arguing for their continued relevance through the cross-mediation of their performance narratives. He points out the communal nature of the Vyams’ creative process and describes the importance of recognizing traditional crafts-persons as artists in their own right. The title, Anand suggests, is a pun on Ramayana, the Hindu epic tale of Lord Rama.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Mondal |first=Md Maudud Hasan |date=2024-05-31 |title=THE ARTISTRY OF BHIMAYANA: FROM GRAPHIC ART TO SERIOUS GENRE |url=https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/2068 |journal=ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts |volume=5 |issue=5 |doi=10.29121/shodhkosh.v5.i5.2024.2068 |issn=2582-7472|url-access=subscription |doi-access=free }}</ref>

Anand concludes by describing the collaborative process and how he and the Vyams constantly renegotiated the story itself, incorporating new characters and a greater presence of nature, as well as taking some small liberties with the stories’ source material for the sake of the larger narrative. This section concludes with a focus on the need to address caste and its continued presence as discrimination in India.<ref name="Stoll-2012"/>

==Artwork==
Nature imagery is present throughout the book—fortresses are fierce beasts; trains are snakes; the road is a peacock's long neck; the handle of a water pump turns into an elephant's trunk. The first section of the book, which deals with the right to water, is full of water-based imagery—when the young Ambedkar is thirsty, his torso turns into a fish; and when he urges a crowd to stand up for their rights, the speakers morph into showers sprinkling water onto the audience. A section on shelter has the recurring imagery of the banyan tree and its many twisted roots. Even the speech bubbles have significance—harsh or prejudiced words are given a tail like a scorpion's to evoke their sting. Gentle words are encased in bubbles shaped like birds, and unspoken thoughts are given an icon to denote the mind's eye.<ref>{{cite news|first=Aishwarya|last=Subramanian|title=A Deceptively Simple Narrative with Symbols of Caste Persecution|work=The Sunday Guardian|url=http://www.sunday-guardian.com/bookbeat/a-deceptively-simple-narrative-with-symbols-of-caste-persecution|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304083644/http://www.sunday-guardian.com/bookbeat/a-deceptively-simple-narrative-with-symbols-of-caste-persecution |archive-date=2016-03-04 }}</ref>

The pages are not formally structured and digna patterns divide the story into loose frames for a khulla (open) visual imagery. Metaphors of carnivores and herbivores are used for Brahmins and dalits respectively. The speech-bubbles carry clues about narrative sympathy—the speech bubble issuing from young Bhim is in the shape of a bird, while the speech-bubble issuing from the peon is in the shape of a scorpion. This technique is used throughout the book. [[Anthropomorphism]] is also used as the train and the tap are portrayed to be live beings.<ref name=":0" />

==Reception==
''Bhimayana'' was reviewed widely by magazines and newspapers such as the ''Times Literary Supplement'', the ''Journal of Folklore Research'', CNN and ''The Hindu'' and got extremely positive response.

The ''Journal of Folklore Research'' called the fusion of a political narrative and Gond painting in ''Bhimayana'' ‘innovative and striking’, locating it in the stream of international graphic-journalism that uses the graphic medium to engage with political narratives. It also discussed the multi-layered visual language of the book, where the form of a single element on the page often becomes the site of another element, such as Ambedkar's face on page 68 which is also the park where Ambedkar took shelter before leaving for Bombay.<ref name="Stoll-2012"/>

Journalist, curator and writer [[Paul Gravett]] has included Bhimayana in ''1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die''. He was present at the Tate launch of the book in London and has discussed it in his essay on Indian comics. He discusses the art at length, saying, ‘The pages I have seen are wonderful, their figures and clothes drawn in intense patterning, faces mainly in profile with large single eyes, and their pages divided into panels by curving, decorated borders. Accusing, pointing fingers are repeated in one panel. Even the balloons have shapes and tails uniquely their own: bird-like outlines for regular speech; a scorpion’s sting as the tail for venomous dialogue; and a distinctive eye in the thought bubbles to represent the mind’s eye. What better art to retell this tale today?’<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.princeclausfund.org/en/library/library/bhimayana-experiences-of-untouchability.html |title=Prince Claus Fund - Library - Library |access-date=2015-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721183012/http://www.princeclausfund.org/en/library/library/bhimayana-experiences-of-untouchability.html |archive-date=2015-07-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

According to ''The Hindu'': ‘To call ''Bhimayana'' a "book" would amount to a trivialisation—it is a magnificent work of breathtaking art that symbolises the soul-stirring biography of an exceptional leader’.<ref name="Sivakumar-2011"/>

[[Amitava Kumar]], writer and journalist, reviewing it on JJ Books, recommended the book highly, saying, ‘At the end, you feel you have gained knowledge but you need to enter, spiritually and politically, into the book’s larger world to become a participant in a new world’.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jjbooks.com/illustration-series/amitava-kumar-on-ambedkar|title=Amitava Kumar on Ambedkar|website=www.jjbooks.com|access-date=2015-07-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181017001753/http://www.jjbooks.com/illustration-series/amitava-kumar-on-ambedkar|archive-date=2018-10-17|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2014, it became part of a compulsory paper in the English undergraduate degree syllabus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/gone-with-the-wind-james-bond-make-way-for-ambedkar-in-delhi-university/story-AnTHqHNhrfnCRzwM1J56KI.html|title=Gone with the Wind, James Bond make way for Ambedkar in Delhi University|date=14 April 2014|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref>

== History ==
The story is prevalent in the context of this temple. According to local legend, a long time ago in the village of Asota, Rajasthan, a Ginthala farmer's plough collided with an object while ploughing and stopped. When the farmer looked, he saw a stone. The farmer started digging and found an idol of Balaji or Hanuman. At the same time, the farmer's wife came to the fields with lunch for the farmer. In his lunch, his wife had made Churma of Bajra. The farmer offered the Churma to Shree Balaji Maharaj. From that time until now, it has been a ritual to offer Churma to Shree Balaji Maharaj. The day was Tuesday, and it was Navami (the 9th day) of the Shravan month (July–August) in the bright half (first fortnight). The farmer told the people about this incident.<ref>{{Cite web |author1=Navabharat |title=Siddhpeeth Salasar Balaji Temple {{!}} सिद्धपीठ सालासर बालाजी मंदिर का 268वां स्थापना दिवस आज, तैयारियां हुई पूरी {{!}} Navabharat (नवभारत) |url=https://www.enavabharat.com/state/other-states/268th-foundation-day-of-siddhpeeth-salasar-balaji-temple-today-preparations-completed-598326/ |access-date=10 December 2022|website=enavabharat.com |date=6 August 2022 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=22 September 2021 |title=सालासर बालाजी के लाइव दर्शन |url=https://shreesalasarbalajimandir.com/ |access-date=28 November 2023 |website=Shree Salasar Balaji Mandir |language=hi, en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/religious-places-gear-up-to-reopen-wait-for-govt-guidelines/articleshow/76225723.cms?from=mdr|title=Religious places gear up to reopen, wait for govt guidelines|newspaper=The Times of India |date=6 June 2020}}</ref>

It is said that the landlord in that place also had a dream on the same day. In the dream, Lord Hanuman ordered the landlord to install the idol in a Mandir in Salasar. On that same night, another person named Mohandas, a resident of Salasar, was also instructed by Lord Hanuman in a dream to establish his presence by taking the idol from Asota to Salasar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tourism.rajasthan.gov.in/salasar-balaji-temple.html|title=Salasar Balaji Temple Rajasthan|accessdate=10 August 2023|website=tourism.rajasthan.gov.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=22 September 2021 |title=Shree Salasar Balaji History |url=https://shreesalasarbalajimandir.com/history/ |website=Shree Salasar Balaji Mandir}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://templeknowledge.com/salasar_balaji_temple/ | title=About Salasar Balaji Temple | date=6 October 2022 |website=templeknowledge.com}}</ref>
