The '''Poona Horse''' is an armoured [[regiment]] in the [[Indian Army Armoured Corps|Armoured Corps]] of the [[Indian Army]]. The regiment, known before independence as The Poona Horse (17th Queen Victoria's Own Cavalry), was raised as a regular cavalry regiment in the [[Bombay Presidency]] army of the [[East India Company]]. It was formed from the [[3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry]], raised in 1820, and the [[Poona Auxiliary Horse]], raised about 1817–18. The latter unit was absorbed into the regular forces about 1860 and the two regiments later became the 33rd Queen Victoria's Own Light Cavalry and the 34th Prince Albert Victor's Own Poona Horse.<ref name="Jackson">{{cite book|last1=Jackson|first1=Donovan|title=India's Army|date=1940|publisher= Sampson Low, Marston & Co Ltd|isbn=|pages=142–149}}</ref>

These were amalgamated in 1921 into the present regiment, the battle honours of which tell of service in three Afghan wars, in Persia, Abyssinia and China, as well as in the Great War. The regiment has fought with distinction in the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965|1965]] and [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971|1971]] [[Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts|Indo-Pakistani wars]], with an officer winning India's highest gallantry award, the [[Param Vir Chakra]], in each war.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sainiksamachar.nic.in/englisharchives/2017/mar01-17/h19.htm|title=Decorated Regiment of Indian Army Celebrated the Bicentenary|date=2017-03-01|access-date=2021-02-02}}</ref>

==History==
In accordance with article VI of The [[Treaty of Poona]] between the British [[Governor-General of India]] [[Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings|Lord Hastings]] and [[Baji Rao II]] (The [[Peshwa]] of the [[Maratha]] [[Maratha Empire|Empire]]), a force known as the Poona Auxiliary Force was to be recruited, which was raised on 15 June 1817. As per the treaty, the force would be maintained by the Maratha Peshwa, but commanded by British Officers and was supposed to be permanently stationed in the territory of Peshwas. The treaty provided authority for the British to use the force against the Peshwa when necessary. The regiment was raised under the order of [[Mountstuart Elphinstone]], the [[Governor of Bombay]].<ref name="Jackson"/>

Lt. Col J Cunnigham was the first Commandant of the regiment.

The two regiments that would go on to form the Poona Horse were the '''33rd Queen Victoria's Own Light Cavalry''' and the '''34th Prince Albert Victor's Own Poona Horse'''.<ref name="Armylist">{{cite book|last= |first=|title= The Indian Army List, July 1940|date=1940|publisher= Defence Department, Government of India|page=673|isbn=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://hcvv.home.xs4all.nl/milweb/British-India/Cavalry/cav17.html|title= 17th Queen Victoria's Own Poona Horse|date=|access-date=2021-02-02}}</ref>

==World War I==

In August 1914, the Poona Horse was stationed at [[Secunderabad]], as part of the [[9th (Secunderabad) Cavalry Brigade]]. They were brigaded with the [[7th Dragoon Guards]] and the [[20th Deccan Horse]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak >{{cite web|title=History of the 17th Horse|publisher=Bharat Rakshak - The Consortium of Indian Military Websites|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/images/Poona%20Horse.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020102936/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/images/Poona%20Horse.pdf|archivedate=20 October 2012}}</ref>
The Brigade was dispatched to [[France]] and fought on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] their first action being the [[First Battle of Ypres]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak />

===France===
On 2 November 1914 the regiment was sent to reinforce the [[2nd King Edward VII's Own Gurkha Rifles (The Sirmoor Rifles)|2nd Gurkhas]] in the [[Neuve Chapelle]] sector on arrival they discovered that the [[Gurkha]]s defences had been breached and overrun. The Poona Horse was asked to recapture the position. The Regiment launched a counterattack in daylight and without any artillery support. The Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Swanston, who was leading the attack, was killed.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

In France the regiment would be involved in the [[Winter operations 1914–1915|Battle of Givenchy]], [[Battle of La Bassée|Battle of La Basse]], [[Battle of Armentières|Battle of Armentiers]], [[Battle of the Somme]] (1916), [[Battle of Flers–Courcelette]] and [[Battle of Cambrai (1917)|Battle of Cambrai]] (1917).<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>
In February 1918, the Poona Horse and all the other Indian cavalry regiments in France were deployed to [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] to join General [[Edmund Allenby|Allenby's]] forces.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

===Palestine===

The Poona Horse arrived in Egypt in April 1918; they now formed the [[14th Cavalry Brigade (British Indian Army)|14th Cavalry Brigade]] of the [[5th Cavalry Division (British Indian Army)|5th Cavalry Division]] with the [[9th Royal Deccan Horse|Deccan Horse]] and the [[Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

The force also consisted of the [[4th Cavalry Division (British Indian Army)|4th Cavalry Division]], the [[Australian Mounted Division]] and the [[ANZAC Mounted Division]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

On 19 September 1918, the allied offensive began. The Infantry broke through the Turkish defences and the Desert Mounted Corps followed up. When they reached the Gates of [[Damascus]], the Poona Horse, along with rest of the 14th Cavalry Brigade, were tasked with patrolling the road from Homs to Damascus Road. When they charged a party of Arabs who ran off leaving a large car behind with a [[Europe]]an seated inside the Risaldar Major Hamir Singh, believing him to be a spy, demanded his surrender. The European turned out to be Colonel [[Lawrence of Arabia|T. E. Lawrence]]. "El Aurens" was not amused.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

At 10:15 on the morning of 1 October 1918, the Regiment entered Damascus and after the rest of the Brigade. The Regiment was ordered to take [[Rayak]] and then march onto [[Aleppo]], which they reached on 25 October just before the Armistice was signed on 30 October in Mudros Harbour, abroad the battleship {{HMS|Agamemnon|1906|6}}.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

===Mesopotamia===

The 33rd Queen Victoria's Own were sent to [[Mesopotamia]] as part of the [[6th (Poona) Division]] to counter Turkish advances and to protect the oil fields. They were involved in the [[Battle of Shaiba]] and the [[Battle of Ctesiphon (1915)|Battle of Ctesiphon]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

==Between the wars==

In 1919, the 33rd Light Cavalry, now part of the [[1st (Risalpur) Cavalry Brigade]], was posted to [[Risalpur]] where they were brigaded with the [[1st Duke of York's Own Skinner's Horse|1st Lancers]] and [[M Battery Royal Horse Artillery|M Battery, RHA]]. On 6 May 1919, they received the information that the Afghan Army had attacked the outpost at [[Landi Khanna]], north of the [[Khyber Pass]], and was advancing into India. The infantry attacked the Khyber Pass to push the Afghans back. Once the pass had been cleared the cavalry advanced and after some skirmishing, and two set piece battles, the Afghan Army was dispersed.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

===Amalgamation===

In 1920, the decision was made to reduce the number of Indian Cavalry Regiments from 39 to 21. This would leave the army with 18 amalgamated regiments, plus the [[27th Light Cavalry]], the [[28th Light Cavalry]] and the [[10th Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides Cavalry (Frontier Force)|Guides Cavalry]]. This change was promulgated under Indian Army Order No 1257 22 November 1921. Based on this decision, the 33rd Light Cavalry and 34th Poona Horse were amalgamated as the 33rd/34th Cavalry, which was changed in 1922 to the 17th Queen Victoria's Own Poona Horse.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>
The regiment's new organisation was now three sabre squadrons and a headquarters squadron, which would contain all the specialists, i.e., machine gunners, signallers etc., in one squadron.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

==World War II==

The Poona Horse was one of two Indian Army cavalry regiments selected to remain horsed while the rest of the cavalry was mechanised. This situation did not last long and just after the start of the war the regiment was mechanised.
The Headquarters Squadron now had a mortar troop, signals troop, 'B' echelon administrative troop and light Aid Detachment for forward vehicle recovery and repair. The sabre Squadrons each now comprised a Squadron Headquarters, four armoured carrier troops and one rifle troop. Each troop had four [[Universal Carrier|Bren carriers]] and the rifle troop was mounted in four [[Canadian Military Pattern truck|15 cwt Chevrolet]] trucks now mechanised they become the Divisional reconnaissance regiment for the [[6th Indian Division]] and deployed to [[Iraq]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

In 1942, the regiment was ordered to the Middle East to join the [[British Eighth Army]]. In the closing stages of the [[First Battle of El Alamein]], the Poona Horse was the guard force for General [[Claude Auchinleck]], the commander of the 8th Army at the tactical headquarters sited on the [[Ruweisat Ridge]], the most prominent tactical feature of the Alamein position. This was the highlight of the Regiment's war for they were then ordered back to Iraq as part of the [[British Tenth Army]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>
In September 1944 the Regiment was sent to [[Cyprus]] on garrison duties and were still there in May 1945 when Germany surrendered.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>
The Regiment returned to India in October 1945 and were issued their first tanks, the [[M3 Stuart#M5 Stuart|Stuart MK IV]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

;[[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]] ([[Battle of Basantar]])
The Poona Horse under the command of 47 Infantry Brigade was ordered to establish a bridgehead across the Basantar river in the [[Shakargarh]] sector. The brigade's engineers were in the process of breaching the enemy minefields and create a safe lane that would allow the induction of the tanks. In view of the alarming activity of Pakistani artillery, the Poona Horse with its Centurion tanks decided to push through the minefield despite it being only partially cleared by that time. En route, while crossing the Basantar River, the tank troops came under fire from Pakistani tanks as well as recoil gun nests that were still holding out. They retaliated fiercely — destroying tanks, capturing gun nests and over-running enemy defences.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.thebetterindia.com/124098/battle-of-basantar-arun-khetarpal-param-vir-chakra-indian-army/|title= Battle of Basantar: When a 21-Year-Old Braveheart Single-Handedly Defeated 7 Pak Tanks|date=2017-12-14|access-date=2021-01-31}}</ref> 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal, who were posthumously awarded the prestigious Param Vir Chakra was responsible for the destruction of 7 Pakistani tanks.

The following days saw Indian troops making massive gains and conducting successive military thrusts deep inside enemy territory, coming threateningly close to the Pakistan Army base at Sialkot. India's resounding victory in the Battle of Basantar resulted in the capture of a significant area ( including nearly 500 villages) under the control of Pakistan in Chhamb sector, apart from cutting off the line of retreat for Pakistani troops.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nation-world/meet-the-23-year-old-who-single-handedly-beat-7-pakistani-tanks/battle-of-basantar/slideshow/56119589.cms|title=Meet the 23-year-old who single-handedly beat 7 Pakistani tanks|date=2016-12-22|access-date=2021-01-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://sainiksamachar.nic.in/englisharchives/2013/jan01-13/h2.htm|title= Basantar Day - Tribute to the Brave|date=2013-01-01|access-date=2021-01-29}}</ref>

==Regimental Class Composition==
Prior to amalgamation, the class composition of the two Regiments was as follows :-
*33rd Light Cavalry : A Squadron – [[Jat people|Jats]], B Squadron – [[Qaimkhani|Kaimkhanis]], C Squadron – [[Muslim Rajputs|Mussalman Rajputs]], D Squadron – [[Jat Sikh]]s.
*34th Poona Horse : A Squadron – [[Rathore]] Rajputs from [[Jodhpur]], B Squadron - Rathore Rajputs from Jodhpur, C squadron - Punjabi Mussalmans from [[Jhelum]], D Squadron - Kaimkhanis from [[Shekhawati]] (Jaipur).

The class composition of the new amalgamated Regiment was to be as follows : (a) Headquarters Wing or Squadron; (b) A Squadron of Rathore Rajputs - purely from 34th Poona Horse; (c) B Squadron of Kaimkhanis - half squadron each from both the Regiments; (d) C Squadron of Jats - purely from 33rd Light Cavalry.
Following the partition of India, the Kaimkhanis moved to Pakistan and were replaced by a squadron of [[Sikhs]], which came from the [[13th Lancers]].<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

==Regimental insignia==
;Badge
Following amalgamation, the sanction for the crest and badge of Poona Horse came on 29 December 1928 vide Gazette of India No 1759. It consisted of the Royal and Imperial [[Royal cypher|Cypher]] of [[Queen Victoria]] within the Garter with the words [[Honi soit qui mal y pense]], surmounted by a [[Tudor Crown]] and having below a scroll with the words ''Queen Victoria's Own Poona Horse''.<ref name=bharat-rakshak/>

The present badge consists of an oval belt containing the motto of the regiment in Devanagari script ‘रण वीर जय सदा’ within the oval is the ‘hand of God’; the oval is surmounted by the lions of Ashoka; below oval, and curling up towards its sides, a scroll within which is embossed ‘THE POONA HORSE’.

The ‘hand of God’ comes from 8 February 1857, when the regiment wrote history at the famous '[[Battle of Khushab|Battle of Kooshab]]' against the [[Shah]] of [[Iran|Persia]] and captured the Standard of the 1st Khusgai Regiment of the Fars, acclaimed with courageous and fearless soldiers and Shah's personal bodyguards. The Standard of Persian Army now surmounts the Regiment's Standard, and it is etched in Persian with the words 'Yaad Ullal Fauk Idaheem' (the hand of God is above all things).<ref name="Jackson"/>
;Motto
The motto of the regiment is ‘रण वीर जय सदा’ (Ran Vir Jai Sada); which translates to ‘the gallant warrior, ever victorious’.
;Shoulder title
The shoulder title is in brass and consists two crossed swords overlayed by the ‘hand of God’ and a scroll with the words 'Poona Horse'. When combat fatigues are worn, the shoulder title consists of the numeral and letter ‘17H’.

'''''16 December''''' is a 2002 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[action thriller film]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/16-december-v335795 |title=16 December (2002) – Mani Shankar |publisher=[[AllMovie]]}}</ref> directed by [[Mani Shankar]], based on a plot to destroy the capital city of India, [[New Delhi]] with a [[nuclear bomb]] on 16 December 2001 – 30 years after the surrender of Pakistan at the end of the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]].
The film's title comes from the historical date of 16 December 1971 (which is also Bangladesh's [[Victory Day (Bangladesh)|Victory Day]]), commemorating the day Pakistan signed the document of [[Liberation of Bangladesh]].

== Plot ==
'''Major General Vir Vijay Singh''' ([[Danny Denzongpa]]), '''Vikram''' ([[Milind Soman]]), '''Sheeba''' ([[Dipannita Sharma]]), and '''Victor''' ([[Sushant Singh]]), who are [[Indian Revenue Service]] officers belonging to the [[Directorate of Revenue Intelligence|Department of Revenue Intelligence]], and have been wrongly implicated in the killing of their corrupt superior officer and removed from service, are hired by the Chief of the same agency to investigate a series of large [[Money Laundering]]s. Vikram and Sheeba share some romance between them. The team is equipped with hi-tech equipment such as mini spy cameras, computers, the internet and other communication devices. Through various encounters, they discover that the money is being transferred to a [[Swiss Bank]] account. By means of an Indian employee, '''Sonal Joshi''' ([[Aditi Govitrikar]]) working in the Auckland, [[New Zealand]] branch of the same bank, they investigate the account in New Zealand and, with her help, find that the money is being transferred to an international terrorist organization named '''''KAALA KHANJAR'''''. This organization, working in conjunction with terrorist '''Dost Khan''' ([[Gulshan Grover]]), manages to smuggle a Russian-made nuclear bomb into India. Dost Khan plans to explode the nuclear uvva on the same day, '16 December'.

Although the ruling dictator of Pakistan surrendered unconditionally to India during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], some of the hard-lined Pakistani soldiers were bitter and angry at the surrender, as they wanted to continue fighting the Indians until their last breath. They retreated in silence and later came together to form their own groups of communal soldiers to carry out terrorists attacks against neighboring India.

Led by Dost Khan, a hardliner Pakistani army officer, who, against his wishes, had to surrender after the end of the 1971 war, the terrorists planned to take an act of revenge by having a nuclear explosion in the heart of [[New Delhi]]. They transport it into a music competition disguised as a musical instrument. When Vir Vijay Singh comes to know about the plan, he plans to find out the location of the nuclear bomb as soon as possible by taking the help of Remote Radiation Sensors in satellites and innumerable beggars in the city. This helps the team zero in on the location.

After they overpower most of the terrorists in a commando operation, Dost Khan comes to know about it and sets the nuclear bomb to explode in a few minutes. This creates a lot of problem for Vijay Vir Singh, as the bomb can be defused only by the exclusive voice command of Dost Khan saying: ''Dulhan Ki Vidaai Ka Waqt Badalna Hai''. They adopt a novel way to do it by speaking to Dost Khan and making him say fragments of this sentence without making him realize that it was being done to defuse the bomb. After the conversation is over, they synthesize the sentence to defuse the bomb just in time.

==Critical reception==
16 December received mostly positive reviews from critics in India and abroad. Ronjita Kulkarni of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' gave the movie 5/5 stars and wrote, "For a first-timer, director [[Mani Shankar]] does a valiant job with 16 December. It has four songs, three of which appear in the background, but it certainly does not follow the routine song-and-dance formula. 16 December entertains as well makes you think".
[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' gave the movie 4/5 stars and wrote, "The film does have a love angle though there is no undue focus on the romantic couple. Now for the film. In 16 December, Mani Shankar has tried to explore white-collar crime. The premise being, millions of rupees leave the Indian shores daily to Swiss bank accounts. The account holders always remain a secret. What the director tries to do is trace this movement of money from the grass-roots level".
Rachit Gupta of ''[[Filmfare]]'' rated the movie −4/5 stars, stating, "16 December moves at a brisk pace. Mani Shankar does not waste time on unnecessary details. The film requires a fair amount of concentration to understand the chain of events".
''[[Daily News and Analysis|DNA]]'' gave the movie 5/5 stars and said that, one of the best Hindi spy films that had ever come out, it is India's equivalent to [[Brian De Palma]]'s ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)|Mission: Impossible]]''.

===Overseas===
Rachel Saltz of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote, "16 December may not be a box office hit. But it is definitely different from the usual love stories that we are subjected to."
Sneha May Francis of ''[[Emirates 24/7]]'' wrote, "After his debut in [[Tarkieb]], [[Milind Soman]] gives a composed and good performance in this film. Debutante [[Dipannita Sharma]] lends some freshness to the film. There is no helplessness at any point of time."
Simon Foster of the ''[[Special Broadcasting Service]]'' gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and described it as "thrilling, fast-paced and loud a movie that catches Hollywood standard".
Robert Abele of Los Angeles Times "16 December has all merits to strike a chord with the youth", praising Danny's 'bravura' performance, the film's 'Hollywood style' look and action sequences, as well as the music.

==Plot==
30-something Mitali aka Meethi ([[Konkona Sen Sharma]]) suffers from [[schizophrenia]] and is taken care of by her older, divorced sister Anjali aka Anu ([[Shabana Azmi]]), who is a professor, and their ageing mother ([[Waheeda Rehman]]). Although she was never married in real life, Meethi has created her own alternate reality in her mind in which she married her ex-fiancé Joydeep ([[Rahul Bose]]) and has five children. While Anu has dedicated her life to taking care of Meethi and her mother, even putting her own relationship with a fellow professor ([[Kanwaljeet Singh]]) on hold, in Meethi's imaginary world both the older women are holding her in the house and away from her husband and children against her will. She imagines her family to be living at the non-existent 15 Park Avenue in [[Kolkata]].

After Meethi has a severe seizure, her case is taken up by a new doctor Kunal Barua ([[Dhritiman Chatterjee]]). While discussing her sister's case with the new doctor, Anu reveals that though Meethi had dormant schizophrenic traits since childhood, she led a very normal life till her early 20s, before a traumatic experience in the course of her job as a journalist made her withdraw from the outer world. Her fiancé, unable to deal with the emotional upheaval caused by the incidence, broke off the engagement. On the doctor's advice, Anu takes both women on a vacation to Bhutan, where they are spotted by Joydeep, now married with two children. In her present state, Meethi does not recognize Joydeep as the same man she is married to in her imagination, and befriends him. When Joydeep learns of Meethi's worsened condition and her imaginary world, he offers to help her locate the elusive family home - 15 Park Avenue.

Back in Kolkata, Joydeep drives her down to the part of the city where she believes her house and her family are. In a surrealistic climax, Meethi finally locates the house and finds her husband Jojo (as she fondly calls him) and her five children waiting for her return. She walks into the house, reunited with her 'real' family and is never seen again.

==Critical reception==
M. Suganth of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "You could also call it [[Mundasupatti]]-meets-[[Rajathandhiram]] and you wouldn't be wrong as like that crime caper, it also about a gold heist that involves an elaborate set-up and planning. But the filmmaking is more [[Mundasupatti]], with noticeable rough edges that keep reminding us that this is a first-timer's film and lacks the sophistication (it is an exposition-filled film) of both [[Soodhu Kavvum]] and [[Rajathandhiram]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/144/movie-review/49957290.cms|title=144 Movie Review {3.5/5}: Critic Review of 144 by Times of India|accessdate=5 December 2018|website=The Times of India}}</ref> Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu called it "A shaky start, but lots of laughs later

The mouth freshener brand, Pass Pass, teamed up with the film to put product placement into the venture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2002-05-12/india-business/27133547_1_advertisers-film-producers|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707055448/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2002-05-12/india-business/27133547_1_advertisers-film-producers|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-07|website=[[The Times of India]]|title=In-film ads light up silver screen}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/lf/2002/06/05/stories/2002060502780200.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130125125948/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/lf/2002/06/05/stories/2002060502780200.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-25|website=[[The Hindu]]|date=2002-06-05|title="Pass Pass" to the rescue}}</ref> The film was released in Kannada under the supervision of Sundeep Malani, with another regional actor Komal Kumar chosen to replace Karunas as the thief.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2002/05/13/stories/2002051300030204.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101023041504/http://hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2002/05/13/stories/2002051300030204.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2010-10-23|website=[[The Hindu]]|date=2002-05-13|title=Family fare}}</ref>

==Release==
The Tamil version of the film opened on 1 June 2002 to mixed reviews with a critic noting "Dilshad as the blind Tirupathy has done his role well but Raju Sundaram and Nagendra Prasad have to pick up the nuances of acting. Jyothika has very little to do. The comedy of Karnas is good. However, the highlight of the film are the dances and the choreography. The three brothers have tried to {{sic|outbeat}} each other when it comes to dancing. Music by Deva is very average."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_123.php|title=BizHat.com - 123 Review.

Subhash because presenting physical impairment without hurting sentiments is not easy. And the director does come out unscathed. Much of it is situational humour and the dialogue, again by Subhash, accentuates the comic impact in some of the scenes."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/06/07/stories/2002060700940200.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030912053120/http://hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/06/07/stories/2002060700940200.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2003-09-12|website=[[The Hindu]]|title="One Two Three"|date=2002-06-07|last=thron}}</ref> The Telugu version of the film released on the same day.

== Synopsis ==
The Aditya Group of Companies, which invented a source of clean energy and which is led by Aratrika Reddy (Tamannaah), is on the verge of being forced into bankruptcy as the result of a political conspiracy, with the company required to deposit more than Rs 9,000 crore to the Imperial Bank by 8 a.m. the next dawn to secure its salvation. Aratrika's ex-husband Siddharth Singh (Vamsi Krishna), competitor Rajvardhan Rathore (Shatru), Imperial Bank president Sundar Das (Srikanth Iyengar) and Prince Sadiq (Anirudh Balaji), a sheikh from Dubai, make financial proposals to Aratrika, who turns them all down and holds out hope for a miracle before sunrise to save the Aditya Group.

== Production ==
Pradeep Uppalapati wrote the script for 11th Hour, after which aha green-lit the series as part of its aha originals. Praveen Sattaru selected as the director. Tamannaah appeared in the lead role. With Tamannaah on board, the director chose a supporting cast that can also hold attention, comprising Jayaprakash, Madhusudhan, Arun Adith, Vamsi Krishna and Srikanth Iyengar. The series was shot over 33 days with a team of 30-40 members, who were tested six times for COVID-19. Most portions were filmed in a hotel when occupancy was low because of the pandemic. A few prologue scenes were filmed in other places.<ref name="dundoo1"/>

== Reception ==
Hemanth Kumar of ''[[Firstpost]]'' rated the series 2.5/5 and wrote: "''11th Hour'' has scale, grandeur, and a solid premise but fails to keep one hooked to the story." While the motivations of the characters are established, Kumar felt that the narration was not compelling enough.<ref>{{cite web|date=2021-04-11|title=11th Hour review: Tamannaah Bhatia tries her best, but is let down by the show's unflattering storyline|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/11th-hour-review-tamannaah-bhatia-tries-her-best-but-is-let-down-by-the-shows-unflattering-storyline-9516911.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-14|website=Firstpost|archive-date=14 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414034803/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/11th-hour-review-tamannaah-bhatia-tries-her-best-but-is-let-down-by-the-shows-unflattering-storyline-9516911.html}}</ref> A.

'''Electric Loco Shed, Visakhapatnam''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Visakhapatnam]] of the [[East Coast Railway zone]] in [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is one of the two electric loco sheds in the East Coast railway zone the other being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Angul|Angul]] (ANGL).

==History==
After East Coast Railway set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the Expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|access-date=2020-04-29|website=INDIAN CULTURE}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to rest of India, the Visakhapatnam was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>
Electric Loco Shed Visakhapatnam was commissioned in December 1982 with a holding of 30 Electric locomotives as a captive Loco shed for Kottavalasa-Kirandul line.There was steady increase in the loco holding due to increase in traffic demand over the years thereafter for transporting the iron ore from Baliadilla mines to Visakhapatnam port.
During 1988, a fleet of 18 locomotives [[Indian locomotive class WAG-6A|WAG-6]] of 6000 HP having a number of special improved features with state-of-the-art technology were imported from Sweden (6locomotives/ABB make) and from Japan (12 locomotives/Hitachi make) to add to the fleet of indigenous locomotives.

==Operations==
Being one of the two electric engine sheds in East Coast Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 175 engine units. Beyond the operating capacity, this shed houses a total of 320 engine units, including 21 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 35 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]], 83 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]], 9 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-6B/C|WAG-6]] and 172 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-9|WAG-9]]. <ref name="sheds">{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html |title = Sheds and Workshops| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 26 November 2013}}</ref>
Electric loco Shed, Visakhapatnam is now housing a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAG-9|WAG-9]] in Indian Railways and it caters to many long-distance electric freight trains.<ref>{{cite news|title=fleets under sheds|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html#sr|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=List of Locos in amgul|url=http://www.irfca.org/apps/locos/list?authenticity_token=ReK61Xl7XaF1VJapJ63USw3GU20HKtdaWEzVPl%2Bwz28%3D&page=6&shed_id=15|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>

Like all locomotive sheds, VSKP does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at VSKP but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Visakhapatnam ELS were the regular links for all trains running through Andhra Pradesh when widespread electrification of railway lines started in East Coast Railways. It handled prestigious trains like [[East Coast Express (India)]], [[Hirakud Express]], [[Puri–Yesvantpur Garib Rath Express|Garib Rath Express]] and many more.

==Livery & Markings==
VSKP ELS has its own livery black, maroon and cream band on WAG-5. Also other locomotives has its own standardised livery all over India.

VSKP ELS has its own stencils. It is written on loco's body side as well as front and back side.

It was established in the 1970s specifically to home dual-power locos. It holds more than 50 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] class locomotives. Post AC conversion of [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]], few WAG-5, and all WCAM-2 fleet were transferred to [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]]'s [[Electric Loco Shed, Kalyan|Kalyan Loco Shed]]. [[Indian locomotive class WCAM-1|WCAM-1]] were slowly condemned. The shed received [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]] in 2013.

The shed houses over 100 electric locomotives. It is the only loco shed on WR which had housed the AC/DC locomotives like WCAM-1 and WCAM-2, WCAM-2P and one of the only two in India; the other being [[Electric Loco Shed, Kalyan|Kalyan Loco Shed]] on [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]] to house AC/DC dual powered electric locomotives. Recently many WAG-5/5As have been homed at Valsad which are pure AC locomotives.

== History ==
It was established in the 1970s specifically to home dual-power locos. It holds more than 50 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG 5]] class locomotives.

It was an AC electric trip shed to house locos coming from other sheds and an AC/DC dual loco trip shed which houses WCAM class locomotives from Valsad shed and which allows locomotive changes at Vadodara because the trains which were coming from New Delhi mainline are AC Locomotives and the trains going to Mumbai need AC/DC Loco.

Post AC conversion of [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]], [[Indian locomotive class WCAM-1|WCAM-1]] & [[Indian locomotive class WCAM-2|WCAM-2/2P]] fleet transferred to [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]]'s [[Electric Loco Shed, Kalyan|Kalyan Loco Shed]]. WCAM-1 was gradually condemned and are out of service totally.

==Operations==
Being one of the two electric engine sheds in Western Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 150 engine units. This shed houses a total of 205 engine units, including 66 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-5|WAP-5]], 139 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Indian Railway-shed wise engine.holdings|url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/ele_engg/downloads/Shed_type_wise_holding_011015.pdf

Like all locomotive sheds, BRC does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at BRC but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Vadodara ELS along with Valsad ELS were the regular links for all trains running through Gujarat and Maharashtra when widespread electrification of railway lines started in Western Railways. It handled prestigious trains like the [[August Kranti Rajdhani Express]], and the [[Gujarat Mail ]]. BRC locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling to east as well.

== Livery & markings ==
BRC WAP-5 & WAP-7 has two brand advertisement, one is '''Amul Milk''' and second is '''Fortune Edible Oils & Chakki Fresh Atta'''. It is painted on loco's body side.

Steam locomotive sheds used to exist at Asansol (Howrah) until the late 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Steam Locomotive Sheds in the 1970s|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed2.html#bgsr|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=scan0189.jpg|url=https://www.irfca.org/gallery/Steam/collingwood/scan0189.jpg.html|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref> After Eastern Railway set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the Steam locomotive sheds was decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en|access-date=2020-04-29}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad gauge lines from kolkata to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Asansol was selected by Indian railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>

Asansol shed was started in May 1959 by converting a small portion of steam shed with a holding of 45 locos. The imported [[Indian locomotive class WAM-1|WAM-1]] locomotives were based in this shed after commissioning. With the addition of [[Indian Railways locomotive class WAM-2/3|WAM-2/3]] locos. imported from Japan, the need for the expansion of this shed was felt and it was expanded to home 80 locos. In the year 1969 by taking some more portion of the steam shed 12 imported mixed locos. from Japan (10 WAM-2 + 2 WAM-3) and 45 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] locos. were added. To give marginal relief to the congestion, the 45 WAG-2s were transferred to MGS shed.

With the introduction of EMU rakes from BHEL and ICF in Calcutta suburban section, 25 WAM-2 locos, which were working in push-pull operation, were converted to main line operation. The original WAM-1/2 locos, having ignitrons for AC-to-DC conversion, were converted to silicon rectifier system in the years 1968 to 1970. CLW started production and the first batch of 10 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-4|WAG-4]] locos were commissioned and based at Asansol shed in 1970. In 1971, CLW started manufacturing [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]]s which were commissioned at Asansol. Shed was further expanded in 1974 to home 110 locos. which increased to 115 in 1980. With the introduction of air-brake stock, some WAG-4s were converted for dual brake operation. Further facilities were created for maintaining 20 such locos.

In the late 1995s [[Indian locomotive class WAP-6|WAP-6]] were introduced which stayed until late 2005, when they were transferred to Howrah. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]] locos from howrah. All [[Indian locomotive class WAP-6|WAP-6]] locos from Howrah shed converted to WAP-4 units and transferred here.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref> The shed also had a few WAM-4 units. All the WAM-4s of this shed have been transferred to Sealdah shed.

Being one of the three electric engine sheds in Eastern Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 175 engine units. Beyond the operating capacity, this shed houses a total of 207 engine units, including 90 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]] and 19 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]].

'''Electric Loco Shed, Angul''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotive of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Angul]] of the [[East Coast Railway zone]] in [[Odisha]], India. It is one of the two electric locomotive sheds of the Eastern Railway, the others being at [[Visakhapatnam railway station|Vishakhapatnam]] (VSKP). As of 1 May 2022, there are 256 locomotives in the shed.<ref>{{Cite web|title=e-Locos|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/holding.html}}</ref>

== History ==
After Eastern Railway set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the Steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en|access-date=2020-04-29}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad gauge lines from Odisha to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Angul was selected by Indian railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>

This shed was developed in 2005 and presently holding 196 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]] Locomotives only. Initially Diesel Loco Shed (DLS) was commissioned in Angul in 1999. In 2002 Indian railways decided to convert DLS to ELS for homing capacity of 50 Locos. In 2005 Angul DLS/ELS 50 Locos was converted to Electric Loco Shed Angul. Augmentation work from 105 Locos to 150 Locos is under progress.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastcoastrail.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1360677368619-ELS_WEBSITE%20ANGL%202013.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2016-01-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022213646/http://www.eastcoastrail.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1360677368619-ELS_WEBSITE%20ANGL%202013.pdf |archive-date=22 October 2013 |df=dmy }}</ref>.The shed Started life on paper as a diesel shed but soon converted to an electric shed. Received locos even when the shed building was not complete. The WAM-4 and WAG-5 locos were brought from other sheds. In Feb 2006, all Angul WAM-4s have been transferred to VSKP, and henceforth, Angul will home only goods locos like WAG-5s and WAG-7s.

In the late 2003 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] were introduced which stayed until late 2010, when they were transferred to VSKP. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]] locos from other sheds.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref>

== Operations ==
Being one of the two electric engine sheds in East Coast Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 175 engine units. Beyond the operating capacity, this shed houses a total of 207 engine units, all [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] units. It also housed a few WAM-4 locomotives temporarily.<ref>{{cite web |title=Indian Railway-shed wise engine.holdings|url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/ele_engg/downloads/Shed_type_wise_holding_011015.pdf

Like all locomotive sheds, ANGL does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at ANGL but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Angul ELS along with VSKP ELS were the regular links for all freight trains running through odisha when widespread electrification of railway lines started in East coast Railways. ANGL locomotives are rarely also used for passenger trains as well.

== Livery and markings ==
Angul WAG-7 locomotives have a standardized livery all over India.

==History==
[[File:The Chairman, Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, Dr. C. Rangarajan addressing at the Distinguished Lectures function on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Economic Service.jpg|thumb|[[C. Rangarajan]] addressing at the Distinguished Lectures function on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Economic Service in 2011.]]
The Indian Economic Service was introduced by [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]]<ref name="IES History"/> for formulating and implementing economic policies and programmes in India. The initial steps towards formation of service can be traced to 1952.<ref name="IES History"/> A Committee under [[V. T. Krishnamachari]] submitted a report in September 1953, recommending the formation of a service to be known as the Statistical and Economic Advisory Service.<ref name="IES History"/> On the contrary, [[Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis|Prasanta Mahalanobis]] did not favour the idea of a combined Statistical and Economic Advisory Service.<ref name="IES History"/>

The Cabinet in its meeting held on 12 February 1958 decided that two separate services should be formed; a Statistical Service and other an Economic Service.<ref name="IES History"/> The Indian Economic Service was constituted on 1 November 1961 and the Service Rules were notified on the same date. The actual operationalization of service took place in 1964.<ref name="IES History"/>

Until 2009, the post of [[Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India]] was a [[Union Public Service Commission]] appointment and until the 1970s almost all CEAs were members of the Indian Economic Service.

The '''Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam''' ({{Translation|Dravidian Progressive Federation}}, '''DMK''') is a political party based in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]] where it is currently the full-majority ruling party and the union territory of [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] where it is currently the main opposition.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.business-standard.com/topic/dmk|title=Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)|work=Business Standard India|access-date=10 August 2019}}</ref>

It is also one of the two main political parties in Tamil Nadu, along with the rival [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]]. Since the [[2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election|2021 state election]], it has been the ruling party of Tamil Nadu.
The DMK was founded in 1949 by [[C. N.

Over the years, many disagreements arose between Periyar and his followers. In 1949, several of his followers led by [[C. N. Annadurai]] decided to split from Dravidar Kazhagam, after an aged Periyar married a young woman [[Maniammai]] and appointed her to act as his successor to lead the party, superseding senior party leaders. Until then, [[E. V. K. Sampath]], the nephew of Periyar, was considered his political heir.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sify.com/news/politics/fullstory.php?id=13493522 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050208131610/http://sify.com/news/politics/fullstory.php?id=13493522 |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 February 2005 |title=Priest-less weddings in TN VIP families|work= Sify News|access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ram|first=N.|year=1977|editor-last=Barnett|editor-first=Marguerite Ross|title=Pre-History and History of the DMK|journal=Social Scientist|volume=6|issue=5|pages=59–91|doi=10.2307/3520089|issn=0970-0293|jstor=3520089}}</ref>

The Dravidian philosophy culminated both politically and socially with DMK at the helm of administration. It was the first-ever [[Subaltern (postcolonialism)|subaltern]] movement in the history of sub-continent politics to have political representation from former lower-castes, and it was a marked move from generations of civic administrators from the upper-caste citizenry. This had a deep societal impact which resulted in increased political participation, which aided the representation of the emergent strata, enriched civic life, and subsequently strengthened the pluralist democracy.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Subramanian|first=Narendra|date=2002-11-01|title=Identity Politics and Social Pluralism: Political Sociology and Political Change in Tamil Nadu|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/249027491|journal=Commonwealth & Comparative Politics - COMMONW COMP POLIT|volume=40|issue=3|pages=125–139|doi=10.1080/713999599|s2cid=153856033}}</ref>

The DMK's first foray into electoral politics, in the [[1957 Madras Legislative Assembly election|1957 legislative assembly elections]], was mixed. While it won 15 seats, many prominent leaders such as Annadurai and [[V. R. Nedunchezhiyan]] were defeated. It fared somewhat better in [[1962 Madras Legislative Assembly election|1962]], winning 50 seats and becoming the main opposition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1962/StatRep_Madras_1962.pdf |title=1962 Madras State Election Results, Election Commission of India |access-date= 19 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130127201143/https://eci.gov.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1962/StatRep_Madras_1962.pdf |archive-date=27 January 2013}}</ref>

==== Anti-Hindi Imposition agitations ====
{{See also|Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu}}

The DMK, which split from the Dravidar Kazhagam in 1949, inherited the anti-Hindi Imposition policies of its parent organization. Founder C.N. Annadurai had earlier participated in the anti-Hindi imposition agitations during 1938–40 and throughout the 1940s.

In July 1953, the DMK launched an [[Kallakudi demonstration|agitation]] against the Union government's proposed name-change of [[Kallakudi]] to Dalmiapuram. They claimed that the town's proposed new name (after [[Dalmia Group|Ramkrishna Dalmia]]) symbolized the exploitation of South India by the North.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mills|first1=James H.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2hIUBioZHHQC&pg=PT151|title=Confronting the body: the politics of physicality in colonial and post-colonial India|last2=Sen|first2=Satadru|publisher=Anthem Press|year=2004|isbn=978-1-84331-033-4|page=151}} {{verify source|date=August 2019|reason=This ref was deleted ([[Special:Diff/901408232]]) by a bug in VisualEditor and later restored by a bot from the original cite at [[Special:Permalink/897738684]] cite No. 54 – please verify the cite's accuracy and remove this {verify source} template.

==== Formation of state government ====
In 1967, DMK came to power in the [[Madras State]] 18 years after its formation and 10 years after it had first entered electoral politics. This began the Dravidian era in the Madras province, which later became [[Tamil Nadu]]. In 1967, the Congress lost nine states to opposition parties, but it was only in Madras that a single non-Congress Party (namely, the DMK) won a majority.<ref>{{cite book | last = Chakrabarty | first = Bidyut | title = Indian Politics and Society Since Independence | publisher = Routledge | year = 2008 | pages = 110–111 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=QzQHZ178C24C | isbn = 978-0-415-40868-4 }} {{verify source |date=August 2019 |reason=This ref was deleted ([[Special:Diff/901408232]]) by a bug in VisualEditor and later restored by a bot from the original cite at [[Special:Permalink/900528858]] cite No. 33 – please verify the cite's accuracy and remove this {verify source} template.

==== Other achievements ====
Annadurai legalised [[self-respect marriages]] for the first time the country. Such marriages did not involve priests presiding over the ceremonies, and thus a [[Brahmin]] was not needed to carry out the wedding.<ref>{{cite news | last = Venkatesh | first = MR | title = Solidarity show at wedding – ADMK's brickbats on cauvery mixes with Pranab's bonhomie | publisher = The Telegraph, Calcutta | date = 7 June 2004 | url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1040607/asp/nation/story_3340313.asp | access-date = 20 December 2008 | location = Calcutta, India | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090816173201/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1040607/asp/nation/story_3340313.asp | archive-date = 16 August 2009 | url-status = live | df = dmy-all }} {{verify source |date=August 2019 |reason=This ref was deleted ([[Special:Diff/901408232]]) by a bug in VisualEditor and later restored by a bot from the original cite at [[Special:Permalink/900528858]] cite No. 36 – please verify the cite's accuracy and remove this {verify source} template.

Annadurai was also the first to promise to subsidize the price of rice in order to campaign for his election.

It was Annadurai's government that renamed [[Madras State]] to [[Tamil Nadu]], its present day name.

=== Karunanidhi's leadership (1969–2018) ===
[[File:M. Karunanidhi .jpg|thumb|[[M. Karunanidhi]]]]
In 1969, Annadurai unexpectedly died. M. Karunanidhi was elected as his successor, defeating rival candidate [[V. R. Nedunchezhiyan]]. Karunanidhi would continue to head the DMK until his own death in 2018.<ref name=":0" />

==== 1972 split ====
In the 1970s, [[M. G. Ramachandran]] (M.G.R.), a popular actor and the party treasurer, resulting in a political feud between M.G.R. and the party president Karunanidhi. In 1972, M.G.R. called for a boycott of the party's General Council. The crisis led to a call for a corruption probe by M.G.R. where he was a treasurer, and he was eventually suspended from the General Council by the high power committee of DMK. He then created the new party named [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK).<ref name="Hardgrave">{{cite book|first=Robert j|last=Hardgrave Jr.|year=1973|title= Politics and the Film in Tamilnadu: The Stars and the DMK |series=Asian Survey|publisher= University of California Press}}</ref>

==== Elections under Karunanidhi's presidency ====
* In 1977, DMK lost the Assembly elections to MGR's AIADMK, and stayed out of power in the state till 1989.<ref name="Murali82">[[#Murali|Murali 1994]], p. 82</ref> After MGR's death in December 1987, AIADMK split into two factions between [[V. N. Janaki|Janaki]] (MGR's wife) and [[Jayalalithaa]]. DMK returned to power in the 1989 State assembly elections and 3rd time Chief Minister Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi took over as chief minister in January 1989.
* The 1991 election was held with the backdrop of DMK government having dissolved within 2 years of formation due to pressure from ex-Prime Minister [[Rajiv Gandhi]] leading an alliance with [[Samajwadi Janata Party]]. In the same year Rajiv was killed by a [[Suicide Bomber|suicide bomber]] during the election campaign, and due to DMK's pro-Tamil stance and the dismissal of the state government mid-campaign by Rajiv, attitudes were against DMK and instead in favor of the AIADMK–Congress alliance, causing the DMK to be deprived of any seats in the Parliament.
* In the 1996 state elections, DMK came to power on strength of corruption charges against [[J.Jayalalithaa]] and the alliance with [[Tamil Maanila Congress]] (TMC), headed by [[G.K. Moopanar]].
*However, in 2001, the AIADMK, on strength of a strong alliance and the incumbency factor against DMK, came back to power in the state assembly elections.
* In the 2004 parliamentary elections, DMK formed an alliance with Congress, the [[Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (MDMK) and the [[Pattali Makkal Katchi]] (PMK) and swept a grand victory. The alliance won all 40 seats including [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]]. This enabled DMK to hold 7 ministerial posts in the central government and gave influential power to DMK.
* Two years later in 2006, the same alliance won in the state assembly elections and the DMK, for the first time, formed a minority government in the state with help from Congress. [[M Karunanidhi]] became the Chief Minister of the state for the fifth time. The DMK-Congress alliance was also successful in the 2009 parliamentary elections.
* In the [[2011 Tamil Nadu legislative assembly election result|2011 Assembly elections]], held in the wake of the [[2G case]] and allegations of nepotism, the DMK won only 23 seats, 127 seats less than earlier.
* In the 2014 [[Lok Sabha]] election DMK failed to win any seats; however, by vote percentage, it was second only to AIADMK.
* The 2016 state assembly elections gave DMK 89 MLAs. This was the most number for an opposition party in the history of the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly.

==Party ideology==

The [[Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu|Anti-Hindi Imposition agitations]] of 1965 forced the [[Government of India|central government]] to abandon its efforts to use [[Hindi]] as the only official language of the country. However, Hindi usage has continued as Indian government employees are asked to write as much as 65% of the letters and memoranda in Hindi.<ref name="Palani">{{cite book|title=Polyethnicity in India and Canada: Possibilities for Exploration|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BdxwA3xDtSEC&pg=PA21|pages=21–22|last=Palanithurai|first=Ganapathy |publisher=M.D. Publications Pvt. Ltd.|year=1997|isbn=978-8-175-33039-9}}</ref>

=== State autonomy ===
After [[The Emergency (India)|The Emergency]] invoked by Indira Gandhi, more state powers like education and medical care were moved from state control to national control. At the state conference in [[Tiruchirappalli|Trichy]] after the death of C.N. Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi announced the adoption of the "state autonomy" principle to advocate for state self-governance. In April 1974, the DMK government brought in a resolution in the House urging the centre to accept the Rajamannar Committee recommendations on state autonomy and amend the Constitution of India to pave the way for a truly federal system.<ref name="Palani" />

=== Social justice ===
The DMK reconstituted the disabled persons welfare board to Differently Abled Persons Departments and the changed official terms for transgender individuals to more respectful terms like Thirunangai and Thirunambi.<ref name="Nadika">{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/self-respect-weddings-transgender-rights-karunanidhi-leader-minorities-86159|title=Self-respect weddings to transgender rights: Karunanidhi, a leader of minorities|last=N|first=Nadika|website=newsminute.com|access-date=24 March 2020}}</ref>

== Party symbol ==
The party's election symbol is the "sun rising from between two mountains", with a black and red flag often pictured. The symbol was inspired by the leader and scriptwriter M. Karunanidhi's 1950s play ''Udaya Suryan'', and is intended to signify the "rising" spirit of the Dravidian people.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/story-udaya-suriyan-how-rising-sun-became-symbol-dmk-43247|title=The story of Udaya Suriyan: How the rising sun became the symbol of DMK|date=14 May 2016}}</ref>

In the 1957 poll, the DMK was not recognized by the Election Commission. The party was grouped as independents and was not united by its rising sun symbol and was forced to contest under the rooster symbol.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/story-udaya-suriyan-how-rising-sun-became-symbol-dmk-43247|title=The story of Udaya Suriyan: How the rising sun became the symbol of DMK|last=Isaac|first=Anna|date=n.d.|website=thenewsminute.com|access-date=24 March 2020}}</ref>

== Splits and offshoots ==
There are two major parties that have been formed as a result of splits from the DMK, such as
* [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK), founded on 17 October 1972 by former [[chief minister of Tamil Nadu]] [[M. G. Ramachandran]].
* [[Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (MDMK), founded on 6 May 1994 by [[Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha]] [[Vaiko]].

== Media ==
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party runs two newspapers, one in English and one in Tamil, namely ''The Rising Sun'' (weekly journal) and ''[[Murasoli (India)|Murasoli]]'' (daily journal), respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dmk.in/|title=DMK homepage|access-date=11 November 2013|publisher=Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam}}</ref>

Kalaignar TV is a channel started on 15 September 2007 and managed by [[Kanimozhi Karunanidhi]] and Dayalu Ammal, the daughter and wife of Karunanidhi. The sister channels of Kalaignar are Kalaignar Isai Aruvi (24×7 Tamil music channel), Kalaignar Seithigal (24×7 Tamil news channel), Kalaignar Sirippoli (24×7 Tamil comedy channel), Kalaignar Chithiram (24×7 Tamil cartoon channel), Kalaignar Murasu(24×7 Tamil movie channel) and Kalaignar Asia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kalaignartv.co.in/|title=Kalaignar Channel|publisher=Kalaignar Channel|access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref>

== Controversies ==
Indira Gandhi dismissed the Karunanidhi government in 1976 based on charges of possible secession and corruption. The DMK government has been indicted by the Sarkaria commission for corruption in allotting tenders for the [[Veeranam]] drainage project.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/06/10/stories/0410223a.htm|work=The Hindu|title=What the Sarkaria Commission said|access-date=11 November 2013|date=10 June 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205052213/http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/06/10/stories/0410223a.htm|archive-date=5 December 2010|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

=== Alleged connections with LTTE ===
The interim report of the Justice [[Jain Commission]], which oversaw the investigation into [[Rajiv Gandhi]]'s [[Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi|assassination]], indicted Karunanidhi for abetting the [[Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam]] (LTTE).<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.india-today.com/itoday/17111997/cov.html|last=Chawla|first=Prabhu|magazine=India Today|title=Jain Commission Revelations: Damning the DMK|access-date=11 November 2013|date=17 November 1997|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034354/http://www.india-today.com/itoday/17111997/cov.html|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The interim report recommended that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and the DMK party be held responsible for abetting Rajiv Gandhi's murderers. The final report contained no such allegations.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/02/14/stories/2004021405140100.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040228033749/http://www.hindu.com/2004/02/14/stories/2004021405140100.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=28 February 2004 | location=Chennai, India | title=No adverse comments on DMK leaders in Jain report | date=14 February 2004| work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref>

=== Allegations of nepotism ===
Karunanidhi's nephew, [[Murasoli Maran]], was a [[Union Minister]]; however, it has been pointed out that he was in politics long before Karunanidhi became the Chief Minister in 1969.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.indiainfo.com/2003/11/23/23maran1.html|title=Maran – the eyes and ears of DMK in Delhi|publisher=Indiainfo.com|access-date=11 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617023328/http://news.indiainfo.com/2003/11/23/23maran1.html|archive-date=17 June 2011}}</ref>

Many political opponents and DMK party senior leaders have been critical of the rise of M. K. Stalin in the party. He was appointed as Mayor and later as Deputy CM of TN. But some of the party men have pointed out that Stalin has come up on his own.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.india-today.com/itoday/19991101/stalin.html|title=Politics: Special Series; M K Stalin|work=India Today|date=1 November 1999|access-date=11 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034411/http://www.india-today.com/itoday/19991101/stalin.html|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi has been appointed as the Rajya Sabha MP.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} Karunanidhi's nephew's son Dayanidhi Maran has been appointed as the central Minister.

Karunanidhi's grandson, son of Stalin Udhayanidhi Stalin, has been appointed as the MLA of TN assembly.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Karunanidhi has been accused of helping Murasoli Maran's son [[Kalanithi Maran]], who runs [[Sun Network|Sun TV Network]], India's second largest television network. According to ''Forbes'', Kalanidhi is among India's richest 20, with $2.9 billion.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/10/billionaires-2010_The-Worlds-Billionaires_CountryOfCitizen_11.html | work=Forbes | title=The World's Billionaires Page 11 of 41 | date=10 March 2010 | access-date=11 November 2013 | archive-date=24 September 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180924231446/https://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/10/billionaires-2010_The-Worlds-Billionaires_CountryOfCitizen_11.html | url-status=dead }}</ref>

It has been pointed out that Karunanidhi has hesitated to take action against his erring family members.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=DMK's sonny-come-lately|url=http://www.tehelka.com/story_main18.asp?filename=Ne051306up_close.asp|magazine=Tehelka|date=13 May 2006|access-date=11 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120911130612/http://www.tehelka.com/story_main18.asp?filename=Ne051306up_close.asp|archive-date=11 September 2012}}</ref>

Karunanidhi is also accused of allowing Azhagiri to function as an extraconstitutional authority in Madurai.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/2003/08/19/stories/2003081902600400.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031122081430/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/2003/08/19/stories/2003081902600400.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=22 November 2003 | location=Chennai, India | title=Charge sheet filed against Azhagiri in Kiruttinan case | date=19 August 2003| work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref> The Dinakaran newspaper case was handed over to the CBI.

== History and developments ==
On 25 December 1971, the then [[Railway Minister of India|Railway Minister]], [[K. Hanumanthaiya]], laid the foundation stone for the loco shed. After four years of construction, it was finally opened in 1975 with a total area of {{convert|169000|sqm|m2|lk=in|sigfig=2}} and covered area of {{convert|19600|sqm|m2|lk=in|sigfig=2}}. It initially homed [[YDM-4]] class [[Meter gauge|MG]] locomotives, and was once expanded in 1993 to hold [[Broad Gauge]] locomotives and again in 2000 to accommodate more than 100 locos.<ref name=dslgoc>{{cite web|title=Diesel Loco Shed, Golden Rock - About |url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/SR/goldenrock.pdf |work=[[Indian Railways]] |publisher=Railway Board|access-date=19 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150421063031/http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/SR/goldenrock.pdf |archive-date=21 April 2015}}</ref>

Tondiarpet diesel loco shed is located to the north of the station. The diesel shed was commissioned in October 1972. Earlier a steam shed used to exist with 14 [[Indian locomotive class WG|WG]] locomotives, but this shed was decommissioned and subsequently demolished to make way for the diesel shed.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Steam Locomotive Sheds in the 1970s|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed2.html#bgsr|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref> The new diesel shed got a batch of [[Indian locomotive class WDS-4|WDS-4B]] [[diesel locomotive]]s as its first locomotives. These locomotives were used for shunting in the [[Tondiarpet marshalling yard|marshalling yard at Tondiarpet]], the goods sheds at [[Royapuram]], [[Salt Cotaurs]], and the coaching depot at [[Basin Bridge]] in Chennai division.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways Locomotive Roster Tondiarpet, Chennai (TNP) WDS-4 19221 Show|url=https://www.irfca.org/apps/locos/show/6460?authenticity_token=tQA8idQNFtbONxDCXWCdkpt3ruRKE8Of6h4+jGSH6tw=&page=2&shed_id=88|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Railway (10)|url=https://www.irfca.org/gallery/imagebank/Railway%20_10_.jpg.html|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways Locomotive Roster Tondiarpet, Chennai (TNP) WDS-4 19533 Show|url=https://www.irfca.org/apps/locos/show/6772?authenticity_token=tQA8idQNFtbONxDCXWCdkpt3ruRKE8Of6h4+jGSH6tw=&page=3&shed_id=88|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-18}}</ref> later the number of WDS-4B locomotives was increased to 64 for meeting increasing demand in [[Tiruchirappalli railway division|Trichi]], [[Palakkad railway division|Palakkad]], [[Bangalore railway division|Bangalore]], [[Thiruvananthapuram railway division|Thiruvananthapuram]], [[Mysore railway division|Mysore]] divisions and [[Integral Coach Factory|ICF]], [[Perambur railway station|Perambur]]. As the WDS-4 fleet began to reach the end of their serviceable life, WDM-7 locomotives were transferred from Ernakulam and put into service on both passenger and yard shunting work. In April 2007, mainline WDM2-model from Erode locomotives were additionally inducted for hauling goods. Now the shed holds X WDM-2, Y WDG-3A, Z WDM-3A, X WDS-6 and 14 WDM-7

The shed has a total area of 75,000 sq m, including a covered area of 6,652 sq m, has a capacity of 50 locomotives. The shed employs about 378 persons.<ref name="india railways tondiarpet">{{cite web|title=Brief history of Diesel shed Tondiarpet|url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/SR/Tondiarpet.pdf|date=1 July 2010|publisher=Indian Railways|access-date=1 Dec 2012}}</ref>

== Operations ==
The shed, headed by Senior Divisional Mechanical Engineer (Diesel), has about 750 employees in different ranks in the day-to-day operations of the shed, which include periodical overhaul, maintenance and repair works.<ref name=dsldme>{{cite web|title=Chapter 2 : Assessment, Procurement/ Production, Utilisation and Maintenance of Locomotives in Indian Railways |url=http://www.cag.gov.in/reports/railways/2003_9/chapter2.htm |work=[[Comptroller and Auditor General of India]] |access-date=19 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201231141/http://www.cag.gov.in/reports/railways/2003_9/chapter2.htm |archive-date=1 February 2014}}</ref> The locos of this shed were thoroughly traverses over entire South India for passenger and freight services.<ref name=allarea>{{cite news|last=J Arockiaraj|title=Locomotive failures affecting train operations in Madurai division|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-06/madurai/41832992_1_locomotives-madurai-railway-division-v-ajithkumar|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201235925/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-06/madurai/41832992_1_locomotives-madurai-railway-division-v-ajithkumar|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 February 2014|access-date=19 January 2014|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=6 September 2013}}</ref> Like all locomotive sheds, TNP does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at TNP but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair.

Locomotives of Tondiarpet DLS along with Erode and Golden Rock DLS were the regular links for all trains running through Tamil Nadu, even though widespread electrification of railway lines started in Tamil Nadu. TNP locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling on the [[Konkan Railway]] as well. As more and more railway lines in Tamil Nadu were electrified, TNP started losing links to [[electric locomotive]]s, mainly [[Indian locomotive class WAP-1|WAP-1]], [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locomotives from the Erode (ED), Arakkonam (AJJ) and Royapuram (RPM) electric locomotive sheds. Despite all the electrification across the country, TNP locomotives still take trains as far as Gujarat, Bikaner and in the Shornur- Nilambur line of Kerala.

== Livery and markings ==
Indian Railways allows diesel loco sheds to paint their locomotives in their own unique liveries. Tondiarpet's locomotives have their current livery scheme painted in light blue with a wide cream band around the middle, with dark blue lines on the top and bottom, to match with the ICF livery. The dark blue bar and the light blue line taper downwards at both ends of the locomotive to create a "V" shaped design. This orange-cream-orange color scheme gives the locomotives a cheerful and pleasant look. One locomotive, WDM-7A #11008 is in an experimental light green-cream-light green scheme.
