&#039;&#039;&#039;Jalal al-Din Mangburni&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|fa|جلال الدین مِنکُبِرنی}}), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Jalal al-Din Khwarazmshah&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang|fa|جلال الدین خوارزمشاه}}), was the last [[Khwarazmshah]] of the [[Anushtegin dynasty]]. The eldest son and successor of [[Ala ad-Din Muhammad II]] of the [[Khwarazmian Empire]], Jalal al-Din was brought up at [[Gurganj]], the wealthy capital of the Khwarazmid homeland. An able general, he served as second-in-command to his father in [[Irghiz River skirmish|at least one battle]]; however, since he was the son of a concubine, he was challenged as successor by a younger brother, whose cause was supported by the powerful Queen Mother, [[Terken Khatun (wife of Ala ad-Din Tekish)|Terken Khatun]]. Nevertheless, after the [[Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire]] led to his father&#039;s flight and death on an island in the [[Caspian Sea]], Jalal-al Din gained the loyalty of the majority of Khwarazmian loyalists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new Shah Jalal al-Din moved to Gurganj, but departed eastwards after Terken Khatun moved against him; evading [[Mongol Empire|Mongol]] patrols, he gathered a substantial army at [[Ghazni]]. He managed to inflict an excellent defeat on [[Shigi Qutuqu]] at the [[Battle of Parwan]], but soon lost a good portion of his army in a dispute over spoils. He was defeated by a vengeful [[Genghis Khan]] at the [[Battle of the Indus]], and fled across the river. Now essentially a warlord, Jalal al-Din managed to establish a succession of short-lived states: first in the [[Punjab]] from 1222 to 1224, and then in [[Azerbaijan (Iran)|northwest Iran]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] after 1225. Jalal al-Din did not have the political ability needed to underpin his martial exploits, and he was forced to combat several large revolts and increasing pressure from Mongol forces. Eventually, he was killed in 15 August 1231. The army he had gathered would continue to terrorize the [[Levant]] as the mercenary [[Khwarazmiyya]] until its final defeat in 1246.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
However, through a combination of excellent manoeuvering and planning, the Mongols managed to carve a path of destruction through Khwarazmia. [[Otrar]] fell, and [[Siege of Bukhara|Bukhara was taken]], as was Samarkand. Genghis Khan then sent an army under his elite generals [[Jebe]] and [[Subutai]] specifically to pursue the Shah; although Muhammad, accompanied by Jalal-al Din and two other sons, managed to escape, he was prevented from gathering any forces as his empire collapsed around him.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Buniyatov&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=120}} Fleeing to the loyal region of [[Greater Khorasan|Khorasan]], the Shah died destitute on an island in the [[Caspian Sea]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Barthold&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=419}} Jalal al-Din would later claim that his father had appointed him as his successor on his deathbed.

&lt;br /&gt;

Jalal al-Din, who had just married Temur Malik&#039;s daughter to solidify ties, marched towards [[Kandahar]] which was under siege by a Mongol army and defeated them after a two-day battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Buniyatov&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=127}} In autumn 1221, he then moved north to [[Parwan]] and attacked a besieging army north of [[Charikar]] in the [[Battle of Waliyan]]; the numerically inferior Mongols lost 1,000 and retreated across the river, destroying the bridge.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Barthold&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=442}} Genghis sent an army numbering between thirty and forty-five thousand under [[Shigi Qutuqu]] to confront the Shah. The [[Battle of Parwan]] was fought on a rock-strewn, narrow valley which was unsuitable for the Mongol cavalry, and the Muslims fought dismounted until the final charge led by Jalal al-Din, who personally commanded the center, resulting in the repulsion of the Mongols.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Man |first=John |title=Genghis Khan: Life, Death, and Resurrection |publisher=St. Martin&#039;s Press |year=2004 |isbn=0-312-31444-2 |page=181}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This battle made Jalal al-Din&#039;s reputation; however, he soon lost half of his army through infighting: the sources report a dispute over booty between Temur Malik and Ighrak, commander of the right flank.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Paul&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalal al-Din had won several victories against the Mongols in 1221, and after the Battle of Parwan, independent insurgency groups emerged in multiple cities inspired by his deeds. Kushteghin Pahlawan launched a revolt in [[Merv]] and ousted the Mongol administration; he then made a successful attack on [[Bukhara]], while [[Herat]] also rebelled. These revolts would be crushed by the Mongols, and many atrocities perpetuated as retribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Genghis Khan, now at [[Bamiyan]], did not take this defeat lightly. After executing that fortress, he made his way eastwards to confront Jalal al-Din, using his powers of organisation to send detachments out to prevent the disparate Khwarazmid factions from uniting, one of whom al-Din managed to isolate and defeat.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Juvaini&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=132}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Buniyatov&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=128}} Jalal Al-Din knew he had no chance of winning against Genghis in a pitched battle with his diminished army and after attempts to win back Ighrak and his men failed, he marched towards India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Barthold&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=445}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;McLynn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=307}} The Khan&#039;s army managed to surround Jalal al-Din&#039;s army on the banks of the [[River Indus]] and crushed them in the [[Battle of Indus|ensuing battle]] in November 1221.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Barthold&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=446}} The Shah escaped the battle by jumping into the river fully armed, and reaching the other shore.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;McLynn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=309}} This act of desperation is said to have drawn the admiration of Genghis Khan, who forbade Mongols to pursue the Shah or shoot him with arrows.

After the [[Battle of the Indus]], Jalal al-Din crossed the Indus and settled in India. A local prince, who had six thousand men attacked Jalal al-Din&#039;s makeshift forces of no more than four thousand, but al-Din still triumphed, greatly enhancing his Indian appeal.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Nasawi&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|at=chapter 38}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Panjab&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He then sought asylum in the [[Sultanate of Delhi]] but [[Iltutmish]] denied this to him because of al-Din&#039;s poor relationship with the [[Abbasid caliphs]]; he did however give one of his daughters to al-Din as a peace offering.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;McLynn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|page=310}} The Khan sent Dorbei Doqshin with two &#039;&#039;[[tumens]]&#039;&#039; to pursue al-Din, whom he still regarded as a threat, in early 1222; one account has Doqshin fail to secure al-Din, and return to the Khan in [[Samarkand]], who was so infuriated Doqshin was sent out at once on the same task.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Juvaini&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|pages=141}} Meanwhile, al-Din was quarrelling with local princes, but was mostly victorious when it came to battle.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Panjab&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Jackson |first=Peter |author-link=Peter Jackson (historian) |year=1990 |title=Jalāl Al-Dīn, the Mongols, and the Khwarazmian Conquest of the Panjāb and Sind |journal=Iran |publisher=British Institute of Persian Studies |volume=28 |pages=45–54 |doi=10.2307/4299834 |jstor=4299834}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Doqshin&#039;s leadership, the Mongol army took [[Nandana]] fort of [[Janjua]] tribe from one of the lieutenants of Jalal al-Din, sacked it, then proceeded to besiege the larger [[Multan]]. The Mongol army managed to breach the wall but the city was defended successfully by the Khwarazmians; due to the hot weather, the Mongols were forced to retreat after 42 days. Peter Jackson suggests that Doqshin, having been instructed not to return unsuccessfully, eventually converted to Islam and joined al-Din.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Panjab&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The rest of al-Din&#039;s three years in exile in India were spent in taking large parts of [[Lahore]] and the [[Punjab]]; he returned to Persia at the behest of his brother Ghiyath al-Din Pirshah, who still controlled parts of Persia, in late 1223.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Panjab&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Persia and Georgia===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bataille_de_Bolnisi.jpg|thumb|The [[Georgians]] (left) against the [[Khwarazmian Empire|Khwarazmians]] (right) in the [[Battle of Bolnisi]] in 1227. From the &#039;&#039;[[:Commons:Category:Bibliothèque nationale Supplément persan 206|Tarikh-i Jahangushay]]&#039;&#039; manuscript created in Shiraz, Iran, in 1438.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Having gathered an army and entered Persia, Jalal al-Din sought to re-establish the Khwarazm kingdom, but he never fully consolidated his power. In 1224, he confirmed [[Buraq Hajib|Burak Hadjib]], ruler of the [[Qara Khitai]], in [[Kerman]], and received the submission of his brother Ghiyath, who had established himself in Hamadan and Isfahan, and the province of Fars, and clashed with the [[Al-Nasir|Caliph An Nasser]] in Khuzestan, from whom he captured parts of Western Iran. The next year, he dethroned the Uzbek Muzaffar al-Din, ruler of the [[Eldiguzids]], and set himself up in their capital of [[Tabriz]] on 25 July 1225. That same year, he attacked [[Kingdom of Georgia|Georgia]], defeating its forces in the [[battle of Garni]], and captured [[Tbilisi]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Rene&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Grousset |first=Rene |title=The Empire of the Steppes |publisher=Rutgers University Press |year=1991 |isbn=0-8135-1304-9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|page=260}} after which a hundred thousand citizens [[Hundred Thousand Martyrs of Tbilisi|were put to death for not renouncing Christianity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalal al-Din spent the rest of his days struggling against the Mongols, pretenders to the throne and the [[Seljuqs]] of [[Sultanate of Rum|Rûm]]. His dominance in the region required year-after-year campaigning. In 1226, Burak Hadjib, the governor of Kerman and Jalal al-Din&#039;s father-in-law, rebelled against him, but after Jalal al-Din marched against him he was subdued. Jalal al-Din then had a brief victory over the Seljuqs and captured the town of [[Akhlat]] in Turkey from the [[Ayyubids]]. In 1227, after the death of Genghis Khan, a new Mongol army commanded by [[Chormagan]] was sent to invade al Din&#039;s lands; they were met near [[Dameghan]] and defeated.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=12 June 2006 |title=Mongol Empire: Chormaquan and the Mongol Conquest of the Middle East |url=https://www.historynet.com/mongol-empire-chormaquan-and-the-mongol-conquest-of-the-middle-east.htm |access-date=5 February 2022 |website=HistoryNet}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In August 1228, a new Mongol army under the leadership of Taymas Noyan invaded the re-established kingdom. Jalal al-Din met them near Isfahan and the two armies fought. The Mongols scored a [[pyrrhic victory]] in this battle, unable to exploit their victory as they had no power left to advance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:7&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The same year, his brother Ghiyath al-Din rebelled but was defeated. Ghiyath al-Din fled to Kerman where he and his mother were killed. The revived Khwarazmshah by this time controlled Kerman, Tabriz, Isfahan and [[Fars province|Fars]]. Jalal al-Din moved against [[Ahlat]] again in 1229. However, he was defeated in this campaign by Sultan [[Kayqubad I]] at the [[Battle of Yassıçemen]] in 1230, from whence he escaped to [[Diyarbakır]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Irwin |first=Robert |title=The New Cambridge Medieval History |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=1999 |editor-last=Abulafia |editor-first=David |volume=5: c. 1198 – c.1300 |page=611 |chapter=Islam and the Mediterranean: The rise of the Mamluks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Death ===&lt;br /&gt;
Through the ruler of [[Alamut]], the Mongols learned that Jalal al-Din had recently been defeated; the [[Order of Assassins|Nizari Ismaili Assassins]] sent a letter to [[Ögedei Khan]], proposing joint operation against Jalal al-Din.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;McLynn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|pages=392–3}} Ögedei Khan sent a new army of 30,000 – 50,000 men under the command of Chormagan and the remaining Khwarazmians, whose numbers were in hundreds, were swept away by the new Mongol army, which occupied [[Northern Iran]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Pelliot |first=P. |year=1923 |title=Les Mongols et la Papauté |url=https://catholicapedia.net/Documents/Revue-de-l.Orient-chretien/23-1922.1923_revue-de-l.orient-ch_paris.pdf#page=9 |url-status=dead |journal=Revue de l&#039;Orient Chrétien |volume=23 |pages=3–30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922224132/http://www.catholicapedia.net/Documents/Revue-de-l.Orient-chretien/23-1922.1923_revue-de-l.orient-ch_paris.pdf#page=9 |archive-date=22 September 2020 |access-date=21 March 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Jalal al-Din once again escaped from the Mongols and took refuge in the [[Silvan, Diyarbakır|Silvan]] mountains. In August he was killed by a [[Kurd]] who claimed that he was avenging his brother, who had been killed by Jalal al-Din&#039;s forces in [[Ahlat]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |first=Nasawî |last=Khorandezî Zeydârî |title=Sîret-i Celâleddîn-i Mingburnî |publisher=Tehran |page=1344}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://ketabonline.com/ar/books/29536/read?part=27&amp;amp;page=8574&amp;amp;index=3963243/3963280/3963289 |title=موجز حائرة المعارف الإسلامية}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalal al-Din&#039;s kingdom swiftly collapsed after his death; his nobles squabbled over territory and would be overcome easily by the Mongols. Several thousand, however, took up service with the princes of Anatolia and Syria to escape the Mongols. They continued to be a force in Syrian politics until their destruction in 1246.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Panjab&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; His daughter, Turkan, would grow up in the court of [[Ögedei Khan]] and then [[Hulagu Khan]], who married her to the governor of Mosul, [[Al-Salih Isma&#039;il ibn Lu&#039;lu&#039;]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some pretenders to the name of Jalal al-Din arose after his death. In 1236, the founder and the leader of an insurgency in [[Mazandaran]] claimed he was Jalal al-Din. After he was defeated, the Mongols verified that his claim was false, and he was executed. In the year 1254, a leader of a merchant group claimed he was Jalal al-Din; detained and tortured, he asserted he was truthful until his death.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Taneri&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Legacy and assessment ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Coin of Jalal al-Din Mangburni.jpg|thumb|[[Dirham]] of Jalal al-Din, citing Abbasid caliph [[Al-Mustansir (Baghdad)|Al-Mustansir Bi&#039;llah]] 623–628 AH (1226–1231 AD).]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Jaloliddin Manguberdi haykali 001.jpg|thumb|Equestrian statue of Jalal al-Din in [[Urgench]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jalal al-Din was considered by many to be a fearless commander and a great warrior. His biographer, [[Shihab al-Din Muhammad al-Nasawi]], described him as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;He was swarthy (dark-skinned), small in stature, Turkic in &amp;quot;behavior&amp;quot; and speech, but he also spoke Persian. As for his courage, I have mentioned it many times when describing the battles he took part in. He was a lion among lions and the most fearless among his valiant horsemen. He was mild in his temper though, did not get easily provoked and never used bad language.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Buniyatov |first=Z. M. |title=Shikhab an-Nasawi.

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Minhaj-i Siraj Juzjani|Juzjani]] described al-Din as &amp;quot;endowed with great heroism, valour and high talents and accomplishments&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Juzjani |first=Minhaj-i Siraj |title=Tabakat-i Nasiri |page=285 |translator-last=Raverty |translator-first=H.

Modern historians are also positive concerning his military talent.

&lt;br /&gt;
Though considered a successful warrior and a general, Jalal al-Din is considered a poor ruler and the loss of his re-established empire to Mongols has been attributed to his poor diplomacy and rulership; he was seen as untrustworthy and warmongering.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Taneri&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Taneri |first=Aydin |title=Jalal al-Din Khwarazmshah and his era |publisher=Publications of the Ministry of Culture |year=1977 |location=Ankara |pages=81–83, 85–91 |language=tr}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His enmity with many neighbors resulted in his isolation against the Mongol army of Chormaqan.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:7&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; [[Vasily Bartold]] believed that Jalal al-Din executed more cruel and irrational brutality than Genghis Khan did.

=== Cultural influence ===&lt;br /&gt;
Ottoman patriot [[Namık Kemal]] hailed him as a national and religious hero in his work &#039;&#039;Celâleddin Harzemşâh&#039;&#039; (Khwarazmshah Jalal al-Din). In Kemâl&#039;s work he was fighting against Mongols for the national unity and wellbeing of [[Oghuz Turks]], and against Georgians for the spread of Islam. Influenced by the [[Cromwell (play)|&#039;&#039;Cromwell&#039;&#039; of Hugo]], Kemâl wrote a preface to it, commonly called as &#039;&#039;Mukaddime-i Celâl&#039;&#039; (Preface to Jalal), and just as what [[Victor Hugo|Hugo]] did with his preface, Kemal too outlined his understanding of a modern play with the preface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalal al-Din was the subject of the Uzbek-Turkish TV series &#039;&#039;[[Mendirman Jaloliddin]]&#039;&#039;, created by [[Mehmet Bozdağ]] in collaboration with the [[Ministry of Culture and Sports (Uzbekistan)|Uzbek Ministry of Culture and Sports]], where he was played by [[Emre Kıvılcım]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=New Turkish series about Sultan Jalaluddin Khwarazmshah to release in Uzbekistan |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/782982-new-turkish-series-about-sultan-jalaluddin-khwarazmshah-to-release-in-uzbekistan |access-date=7 April 2021 |website=[[The News International]]|location=Pakistan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A sculpture of him by Saragt Babaýew won a national competition in 2015, receiving a prize from the [[president of Turkmenistan]], [[Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=24 April 2015 |title=Hormatly Prezidentimiz Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow Türkmen bedewiniň baýramyna bagyşlanan dabaralara gatnaşdy |url=https://turkmenistan.gov.tm/tk/habar/42738/hormatly-prezidentimiz-gurbanguly-berdimuhamedow-turkmen-bedewinin-bayramyna-bagyslanan-dabaralara-gatnasdy |access-date=12 September 2021 |website=turkmenistan.gov.tm |language=tk}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Sengupta says he got the idea for the film when he took a picture of a dinosaur statue outside Kolkata&#039;s [[Science City Kolkata|Science City]], which was fast being overshadowed by the [[Maa Flyover|construction of a new flyover]] – a literal representation of a relic from the past, juxtaposed with a symbol of Kolkata&#039;s economic development.

== Synopsis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ela ([[Sreelekha Mitra]]), a bereaved mother, wants to leave the house of her husband and start an independent life of her own. She&#039;s the daughter of a cabaret dancer, who once had an affair with the owner of an iconic theatre in North Calcutta, called Circarena (the first revolving stage in Asia, owned by Amar Ghosh). Ela&#039;s step-brother, Bubu ([[Bratya Basu]]) lives alone in the now abandoned theatre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to secure a bank loan to buy a house of her own, Ela uses her boss, owner of [[Saradha Group financial scandal|a ponzi-scheme]] to get what she wants. Soon, however, she realizes that she&#039;s not the only scavenger in a city hungry for more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film is inspired by true events.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Citation|title=Once Upon A Time in Calcutta {{!}} Anupama Chopra&#039;s Review {{!}} Film Companion|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcgMqJEoJbI|language=en|access-date=2021-09-19}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Production ==&lt;br /&gt;
The film was shot over a period of two and half months in Kolkata, India.{{fact|date=September 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, [[Fred Kelemen|Fred Keleman]] was supposed to shoot the film, which was then titled &#039;&#039;Memories and My Mother&#039;&#039;. Later, [[Gökhan Tiryaki]], the collaborator of [[Nuri Bilge Ceylan]] came on board as the cinematographer.{{fact|date=September 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shoot was abruptly interrupted because the production refused to play by the rules of the Federation. The conflict arose when the Federation asked Aditya Vikram to hire its members. Generally, a film shot in Kolkata has to have approximately 70 members from the Federation in its crew. Many directors and production houses have complained that sometimes it gets too much for them to abide by this norm. &amp;quot;They wanted us to work with their members. That wasn&#039;t possible for me as I have my own team. When I refused, the Federation president said they would not let me work in Kolkata. That is when I realised this was an unfair logic and stopped indulging in it. I found it juvenile,&amp;quot; [[Aditya Vikram Sengupta|Aditya]] told [[The Times of India|Times of India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=The Federation president told me I am doing illegal things and I asked him to file a case against me: Aditya Vikram Sengupta - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/the-federation-president-told-me-i-am-doing-illegal-things-and-i-asked-him-to-file-a-case-against-me-aditya-vikram-sengupta/articleshow/84816077.cms|access-date=2021-09-19|website=The Times of India|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Dutch composer, Minco Eggersman, was the last to creatively come on board and scored the original soundtrack of the film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=ONCE UPON A TIME IN CALCUTTA, by ME|url=https://mincoeggersman.bandcamp.com/album/once-upon-a-time-in-calcutta|access-date=2021-09-19|website=ME}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Another mystic of her time equally revered in Kashmir and popularly known as [[Nund Rishi|Nund Reshi]] wrote powerful poetry. Later came [[Habba Khatun]] (16th century) with her own style. Other major names are [[Rupa Bhavani]] (1621–1721), Paramananda (1791–1864), [[Arnimal]] (d. 1800), [[Mahmud Gami]] (1765–1855), [[Rasul Mir]] (d. 1870), [[Maqbool Shah Kralawari]] (1820–1877).  Also, the [[Sufi]] poets like [[Shamas Faqir]], [[Wahab Khar]], [[Soch Kral]], [[Samad Mir]], and Ahad Zargar. Among modern poets are [[Ghulam Ahmad Mahjur|Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor]] (1885–1952), [[Abdul Ahad Azad]] (1903–1948), and [[Zinda Kaul]] (1884–1965).&lt;br /&gt;

==Writers in Persian==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Persian language in the Indian subcontinent}}&lt;br /&gt;
After Sanskrit and before the coming Urdu, because of the adoration and patronising policy of Persian culture by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]], Persian became the literary language also of the region. Kashmir was very richly represented in that tradition, as already before the end of the 18th century &amp;quot;Muhammad Aslah&#039;s tazkira of the Persian-writing poets of Kashmir, written during the reign of the Mughal emperor [[Muhammad Shah]] (1131-61/1719-48), alone lists 303 poets&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Collective, &#039;&#039;The Cambridge History of Iran&#039;&#039;, Volume 6, p. 980&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Late scholar from [[Pakistan]], [[Hassam-ud-Din Rashidi|Pir Hassam-ud-Din Rashidi]], edited, translated, and enlarged this work later, and had it published by the [[Iqbal Academy Pakistan|Iqbal Academy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most famous of them was Muhammad Tahir Ghani (d. 1669), better known as [[Gani Kashmiri]], whose poetry was recently translated into English, for the first time, by Mufti Mudasir Farooqi and Nusrat Bazaz as &#039;The Captured Gazelle&#039; in the world-renowned [[Penguin Classics]] list. Ghani influenced many generations of Persian-and Urdu writing poets in South Asia including Mir Taqi Mir, Ghalib and most importantly, [[Muhammad Iqbal|Iqbal]]. Ghani&#039;s &amp;quot;forte&amp;quot; lies in creating delightful poetic images, usually by stating an abstract idea in the first hemistich and following it up with a concrete exemplification in the other. He also stands out for his multi-layered poems, which exploit the double meaning of words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another name in the field of Persian-language writers from Kashmir is [[Shaykh Yaqub Sarfi Kashmiri]] (1521–1595), a 16th-century [[Sufi poet]]-[[philosopher]] who was internationally acknowledged and who had for students, amongst others, well-known religious scholar [[Ahmad Sirhindi]] (more particularly, he taught him [[Hadith studies|hadith]])&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Anna Zelkina, &#039;&#039;In Quest for God and Freedom: The Sufi Response to the Russian Advance in the North Caucasus&#039;&#039;, C. Hurst &amp;amp; Co. Publishers (200), p. 88&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Irshad Alam, &#039;&#039;Faith Practice and Piety: An Excerpt from the Maktūbāt&#039;&#039;, Sufi Peace Mission (2006), p. 20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and Persian-language poet Mohsin Fani Kashmiri (d. 1671 or 1672) (himself the teacher of Ghani Kashmiri and author of the pivotal work of [[comparative religion]], the [[Dabestan-e Mazaheb]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other of the well-known and influential Persian-language poets of Kashmir would include&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Khawaja Habibullah Nowshehri|Habibullah Nowshehri]] (1556–1617)&lt;br /&gt;
*Mirza Dirab Big Juya (d. 1707)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gani Kashmiri]] (1630–1669)&lt;br /&gt;

*Birbal Kachru Varasta (d. 1865)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Pandit Taba Ram Turki]] (1776–1847), who was a celebrity as far as Central Asia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Writers in Urdu==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a numerically small community, the [[Kashmiri Pandits]] are influential in their contribution to Urdu literature. One important early example is [[Daya Shankar Kaul Nasim]] (1811–1845), a renowned Urdu poet of the 19th century, and hundreds of others followed his path.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shri Ram Bakshi, &#039;&#039;Kashmir: Valley and Its Culture&#039;&#039;, Sarun &amp;amp; Son (1997), p. 165&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In 2026 it was temporarily merged with the [[I-League 3]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
I-League 2nd Division was introduced during the 2008 season, with first game played on 25 March between [[Mohammedan SC (Kolkata)|Mohammedan Sporting]] and [[Amity United]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.kolkatafootball.com/ileague_2nd_division_2016-17/news.html I-League 2nd Division 2016-17] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210806152853/https://www.kolkatafootball.com/ileague_2nd_division_2016-17/news.html |date=6 August 2021 }} &#039;&#039;kolkatafootball.com&#039;&#039;. Retrieved 6 August 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That season saw Mohammedan Sporting, [[Mumbai FC]], [[Vasco SC]] and [[Prayag United S.C.|Chirag United]] promoted to the I-League. The next season saw [[Pune FC]], [[Shillong Lajong]], [[Viva Kerala]] and [[Salgaocar FC|Salgaocar]] getting promoted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2010, only top 2 teams were promoted to the I-League. [[ONGC FC]] and [[HAL SC]] in that year, in 2011 Shillong Lajong and [[Sporting Clube de Goa]], with Lajong being promoted for the second time. In 2012, ONGC and [[United Sikkim]] were promoted for the upcoming season. The 2013 saw [[Rangdajied United FC]] and Mohammedan qualifying for the I-League.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, only one team got promoted from the 2nd Division, and similarly only one team got relegated from 2013–14 season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, again only one team was promoted from the 2nd division ([[Aizawl F.C.]]), and only one was relegated from the I-League ([[Dempo]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the traditional final round format was scrapped in 2020. It was decided that the league will be rescheduled into a new format and all non-reserve teams from the preliminary stage will automatically progress to this round. It was officially named as I-League Qualifiers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Hero I-League Qualifier 2020 to get underway on October 8 {{!}} Hero I-League|url=https://i-league.org/hero-i-league-qualifier-2020-to-get-underway-on-october-8/|access-date=2020-10-08|language=en-US|archive-date=12 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512151951/https://i-league.org/hero-i-league-qualifier-2020-to-get-underway-on-october-8/|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After making of I-League as second division of Indian football, the AIFF decided to rename 2nd Division to I-league 2.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=AIFF League Committee meeting chaired online by Lalnghinglova Hmar |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/article/aiff-league-committee-meeting-chaired-online-by-lalnghinglova-hmar |access-date=2022-12-17 |website=www.the-aiff.com |archive-date=16 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221216165348/https://www.the-aiff.com/article/aiff-league-committee-meeting-chaired-online-by-lalnghinglova-hmar |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Competition format ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2008–2015 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, the league was formatted as a neutral venue competition with teams split into groups in which all the groups play in one stadium each. The final round is contested in a [[Round-robin tournament|double round-robin]] format, after which the top two teams get promoted to the I-League.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2015–2017 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The I-League core committee approved the plans for the 2015–2016 I-League 2nd division matches to be played on a home and away basis. The preliminary rounds will be played as the &#039;&#039;conference&#039;&#039; system with the teams being divided into Eastern and Western conferences. Top 3 teams from each conference will qualify for the final round of the 2015–2016 season of 2nd division I-League.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.sportskeeda.com/football/change-format-i-league-2nd-division |title=Change in format for I-League 2nd division |author=Abhishek Jain |date=26 August 2015 |access-date=4 September 2015 |archive-date=27 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150827202341/http://www.sportskeeda.com/football/change-format-i-league-2nd-division |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To widen the football map of the country and to bolster the football structure, I-League committee decide to launch the 2nd division qualifier for 2016–2017 season. Participants from all the state associations would be invited to take part in 2nd division 2016–17 qualifiers. The state associations need to nominate two teams with best results, apart from the teams who would compete in Hero I-League and 2nd division league, from the state leagues to compete in the 2nd division qualifiers. The teams will fight it out amongst themselves in the zonal round followed by the final round. Eventually top two teams from the final round will get a nod to the 2nd division, provided that they fulfill the club licensing requirements in the due time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://i-league.org/football-calendar-will-be-bolstered-with-second-division-league-qualifiers/ |title=Hero I-League &amp;amp;#124; Football Calendar Will be Bolstered with Second Division League Qualifiers |access-date=4 September 2015 |archive-date=21 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921215137/http://i-league.org/football-calendar-will-be-bolstered-with-second-division-league-qualifiers/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2017–2018 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The format was further altered from 2017–2018 season, the league was divided in two stages: the Preliminary and the Final. The tournament will also feature reserve teams of Indian Super League clubs. In the preliminary stage, 18 teams are divided into three groups where all matches would be played on a home and away basis. The winners of each group plus the best second-placed team would qualify for the final round. However, if reserve teams of ISL clubs finishes as winners or runners-up in any group, the position is passed on onto the next non-ISL team. The final round will be played at a central venue, the winners of which would be promoted to the next tier of Indian Football.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=8773 |title=AIFF LEAGUE COMMITTEE MEETS AT FOOTBALL HOUSE |date=19 February 2018 |access-date=19 February 2018 |archive-date=19 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180219212322/https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=8773 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2018–2019 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Sixteen teams were allowed to participate in this season by the league committee.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=LEAGUE COMMITTEE MEETS AT AIFF HQ IN NEW DELHI|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9352|work=AIFF|date=7 December 2018|access-date=8 December 2018|archive-date=9 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209124743/https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9352|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2021 ===&lt;br /&gt;
A new format was introduced named as &#039;&#039;&#039;I-league qualifiers&#039;&#039;&#039;. 10 teams promoted from state leagues battled for I-league qualification.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2022–2023 ===&lt;br /&gt;
In a meeting held on 16 December 2022, the AIFF league committee has recommended that states that have conducted their regional leagues in previous season nominate clubs for the Hero I-League 2, with six reserve teams of the Hero ISL also joining them. A pre-tournament qualifier was held for the teams from states that have not conducted their leagues in 2021–22, from which the top two teams gained entry into the Hero I-League 2, bringing the total number of clubs to 20.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These 20 teams are divided into the four groups of five and play each other in a round-robin home and away format. The group winners, along with the best second-placed team, play in the final round, a single-leg round robin format competition.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=AIFF League Committee meeting chaired online by Lalnghinglova Hmar |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/article/aiff-league-committee-meeting-chaired-online-by-lalnghinglova-hmar |access-date=17 December 2022 |archive-date=16 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221216165348/https://www.the-aiff.com/article/aiff-league-committee-meeting-chaired-online-by-lalnghinglova-hmar |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
The film begins in the kingdom of Chandana Desam, a baby boy, Chandanraju, is born to its king by the boon of Chandra with a necklace &#039;&#039;Chandraharam&#039;&#039; which preserves his life. At the age of five, Maali Chandan&#039;s mentor starts turning him into a jack of all trades with ethical and royal moralities. Years roll by, and Chandan must get nuptial lest his life is in danger; hence, his parents procure portraits of neighboring princesses. All the while, Chandan has a dream girl and affirms to knit her. The king edicts Maali to quest for the girl and sends Chandan to tour the country. Chandan&#039;s sly brother-in-law, Dhoomekatu, wants to usurp the kingdom and ploys to break Chandan&#039;s intention and sends his sidekick, Niksheparayudu, behind him. Niksheparayudu detects the girl Gauri and tricky hides her. Besides, Chanchala is an angel who entices Chandan, which he denies. So, she snatches his Chadraharam and says he will be alive only in the night. Meanwhile, Gauri absconds and collapses when Chanchala&#039;s sister Achala aids her land at Chandan, whom Maali splices. Dhoomketu threatens the king to crown him, and as inevitable, he agrees. During this time, Niksheparayudu detects Gauri&#039;s presence at Maali&#039;s residence, whom he put out of sight in a temple. Consequently, infuriated Chanchala kills Chandan when Dhoomketu incriminates and sentences Gauri to the funeral pyre. At last, Gauri&#039;s adoration retrieves Chandan to life. Chanchala is cursed by [[Indra]] by stripping her divinity. Dhoomekatu and Niksheparayudu also plead pardon. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the crowning ceremony of Chadanraju.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;João Thomas Fernandes&#039;&#039;&#039; (25 April 1907 – {{circa|1957}}), known professionally as &#039;&#039;&#039;Thomas Coogan&#039;&#039;&#039;, was an Indian composer, singer, theatre actor, [[theatre director]], and playwright known for his work in &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]&#039;&#039; productions from the 1940s to 1950.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Comedians of tiatr stage |url=https://www.thegoan.net//comedians-of-tiatr-stage/1557.html |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=The Goan EveryDay |language=en |archive-date=2024-02-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240203182754/https://www.thegoan.net//comedians-of-tiatr-stage/1557.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Fernandes was a versatile performer in the domain of [[Tiatr|Goan entertainment]], showcasing his talent as both a singer and an actor. His [[repertoire]] included a wide range of songs, encompassing both [[Comedy music|comic]] and serious compositions. In addition, he demonstrated his acting prowess by transitioning between decent and comic roles. Fernandes gained acclaim for his portrayal of a villainous character, a wicked &#039;&#039;[[negro]]&#039;&#039; in J. P. Souzalin&#039;s production of &#039;&#039;Conde de Monte Cruzo&#039;&#039; (Count of Monte Cruzo),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Fernandes |first=André Rafael |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vKAbygAACAAJ |title=When the Curtains Rise--: Understanding Goa&#039;s Vibrant Konkani Theatre |date=2010 |publisher=Tiatr Academy of Goa |isbn=978-93-80739-01-4 |pages=138 |language=en |access-date=2024-02-03 |archive-date=2023-11-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231126045216/https://books.google.com/books?id=vKAbygAACAAJ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a role that resonated with audiences and left a lasting impression.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |title=100 Years of Konkani Tiatro |date=2000 |publisher=Government of Goa, Directorate of Art &amp;amp; Culture |pages=23, 85–93 |language=en |access-date=2024-02-03 |archive-date=2024-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240107200151/https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; One significant event in Fernandes&#039;s career occurred during an [[Francis Xavier#Veneration|exposition of the holy relics]] of [[St. Francis Xavier]] in [[Goa]]. A concert was organized at the Princess Theatre Bhangwadi in [[Bombay]], where Fernandes&#039;s performance of his own composition, the song &amp;quot;Sant Francis Xavier&amp;quot;, made an impact on the audience. This display of talent caught the attention of commercial directors at the time, further elevating Fernandes&#039;s reputation as a musician.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |title=TIATR 125th Anniversary Commemorative Volume |publisher=[[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] |year=2019 |location=[[Panaji, Goa]] |pages=16}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Fernandes&#039;s creative contributions extended beyond his performances. As a composer, he crafted an extensive catalogue of songs and even ventured into writing and producing his own &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]s&#039;&#039;. His ability to compose music relieved the burden on &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; writers, as he often took on the responsibility of creating the majority, if not all, of the songs. Over the course of his lifetime, Fernandes composed numerous memorable pieces.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Collaborating with his fellow villager, Jose Mendes, who was commonly known as [[Miss Ida]] on the &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; stage, Fernandes formed a [[Musical duo|duo]]. Their performances together in approximately 20–25 &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039; garnered widespread attention. These [[duet]]s were recorded with [[Gramophone Company India]] and broadcast on [[All India Radio]]. Writer Michael Gracias writes, Fernandes&#039;s versatility as an actor was evident in his ability to portray a wide array of characters. From initially playing [[cameo role]]s, he gradually rose to become one of the leading and most versatile actors in the industry. Directors were eager to cast him in any role, be it as a romantic lead, a comedian, a hero, or even a villain. Fernandes also showcased his versatility through his portrayal of characters from various backgrounds, including [[Hindu]]s and even wicked [[vampires]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gracias further writes, during the golden era of &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039;, Fernandes&#039;s talent shone brightly. In those days, &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; scripts were concise, often incorporating up to 25 songs. Fernandes lightened the load on writers by composing the majority, if not all, of the songs. Moreover, he directed and presented &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039; that conveyed meaningful messages to audiences. During the inaugural performance of the &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Kombekar&#039;&#039; (Poultryman) by Jose Mendes, Fernandes collaborated with Selvyn and Konkani singer [[Alfred Rose (singer)|Alfred Rose]]. This marked Rose&#039;s debut in &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039;. Their rendition of the popular &#039;&#039;cantar&#039;&#039; (song) “Kiteak Jiv Khatai&amp;quot; was well-received by the audience.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Fernandes&#039;s influence extended beyond his own career. He generously provided songs to [[Konkani language|Konkani]] singer and playwright [[Master Vaz]], contributing to the latter&#039;s early success. As one of the prominent figures in Konkani &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; during the first half of the 20th century, Fernandes played a pivotal role in upholding the rich tradition of [[Goan]] theater.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; His performances captivated audiences in both Bombay (now Mumbai) and Goa, leaving a mark on the history of &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2016-04-22 |title=When the tiatr had its season in the sun |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/when-the-tiatr-had-its-season-in-the-sun/articleshow/51936832.cms |access-date=2024-02-03 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=2023-12-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220135833/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/when-the-tiatr-had-its-season-in-the-sun/articleshow/51936832.cms |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal life==&lt;br /&gt;
João Thomas Fernandes, originally hailed from [[Calvim]], [[Aldona]], [[Goa]], he was born on 25 April 1907 in [[Karachi]], then a part of the [[Bombay Presidency]] in [[British India]] (now located in [[Sindh]], Pakistan). During his early years, Fernandes had the opportunity to witness the [[silent film]]s of [[Charlie Chaplin]], featuring the American actor [[Jackie Coogan]]. Fernandes held a deep admiration for Coogan, leading him to adopt the [[stage name]] Thomas Coogan. Writer Michael Gracias attests that Fernandes exhibited talent early in his life. He excelled in the composition of songs, a skill he diligently refined with each passing day. Whether it was for festive occasions such as Christmas, New Year, [[Easter]], or local celebrations, Fernandes consistently took part in concerts, captivating audiences with his [[repertoire]] of songs, encompassing both comedic and serious themes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fernandes composed the majority of these songs and generously shared his musical expertise with his fellow villagers. As he reached adulthood, he, like many others, left his hometown and journeyed to [[Bombay]] in search of better prospects. Gracias further writes, while engaged in various occupations to sustain himself, Fernandes remained unwavering in his commitment to the artistic passion that had been nurtured since his childhood. He died in 1957 at the age of 50, at his residence in [[Wadala]], Bombay.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was named as &#039;&#039;&#039;Aizzabad Bagh&#039;&#039;&#039; when the garden was laid by [[Izz-un-Nissa]] wife of [[Mughal emperors|Mughal emperor]] [[Shah Jahan]] in 1653 as a tribute and replica of [[Shalimar Bagh, Srinagar|Shalimar Bagh, Kashmir]], laid by erstwhile Mughal emperor [[Jahangir]] in 1619, the Shalimar Bagh of Delhi is now abandoned but still houses [[shade tree]]s, majestic [[parterre]] and structure such as the &#039;&#039;Sheesh Mahal&#039;&#039; and the garden pavilion. The imposing palace known as Sheesh Mahal served as the site where emperor Aurangzeb&#039;s coronation ceremony took place in 1658,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2023-09-19 |title=Garden where Aurangzeb was crowned |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/garden-where-aurangzeb-was-crowned-101695062078153.html |access-date=2025-08-11 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dda.gov.in&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; giving it the current name owing to the emperor&#039;s fame and his exceptional reign. As there are other Sheesh Mahal&#039;s throughout India this one is distinguished by Aurangzeb&#039;s name used as a prefix with it as his coronation ceremony marked a significant event there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1653, [[Izz-un-Nissa]] popularly known by the title &amp;quot;Akbarabadi Mahal&amp;quot; the third wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan commissioned the &#039;&#039;&#039;Aizzabad Bagh&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;later renamed as Shalimar Bagh&amp;quot;) in the then vicinity of [[Shahjahanabad]] (present-day [[Old Delhi]]). Within the Shalimar Bagh, Shah Jahan constructed &amp;quot;Sheesh Mahal&amp;quot; (crystal palace).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IGNCA photo gallery&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Sheesh Mahal|url=http://ignca.gov.in/online-digital-resources/archaeological-sites/delhi/sheesh-mahal/|work=[[Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts]]|year=2021|access-date=16 June 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Shalimar Bagh had witnessed events of historical significance such as in 1658 the coronation ceremony of [[Aurangzeb]] took place at the &#039;&#039;Sheesh Mahal&#039;&#039;. In 1738, [[Nadir Shah]] and his army encamped there on his route to Delhi. In 1803 [[David Ochterlony|Sir David Ochterlony]] a [[Resident (title)#Residents in Asia|British Resident]] to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] court at [[Delhi]], selected Shalimar Bagh as his summer residence. During the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]] a battle was fought in very place when [[Siege of Delhi|Delhi was sieged]] by the troops of [[East India Company]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=New life to old baghs|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/New-life-to-old-baghs/article14253676.ece|first=R.V|last=Smith|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=24 April 2016|access-date=14 June 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Annual Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of India, Panjab and United Provinces, for the Year Ending|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y_M2AQAAMAAJ|work=Archaeological Survey of India.

==Design==&lt;br /&gt;
This pavilion was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Like most Mughal gardens, it had channels of water culminating in ornate tanks and several fountains. The layout is designed in the mughal style of  &#039;&#039;chaharbagh&#039;&#039; style. The pavilion has patches of wall-paintings that survived till date.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IGNCA photo gallery&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Sheesh Mahal&#039;&#039;&#039; (crystal palace) is built on a high plinth facing the parterre with 25 fountains and the surrounding garden consisted of fruit orchards. The archways are circular, the central hall consists with a compartment at either end and an arched hall at the rear. Attached to the main building are vaulted rooms.

The first &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of Purakkad&#039;&#039;&#039; was fought in 1746 between the Indian Kingdom of [[Travancore]] and combined forces of the feudal state [[Odanad]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
With the defeat of the [[Battle of Colachel|Kulachal battle]] in 1741, the Dutch captured [[Vamanapuram]] with the help of the King of [[Kollam]]. Following this, the [[Nair Brigade|Travancore army]] led by Ramayan Dalava besieged the Kollam fort of the Dutch.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Koshy |first=M.

The Kayamkulam army was led by Achyutawaryar who was the minister of the King of Kayamkulam.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Nāyar |first=Ke Śivaśaṅkaran |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jmBQAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%B1%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8D+%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%A6%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A7%E0%B4%82 |title=വേണാടിന്റെ പരിണാമം |date=1993 |publisher=Sāmskārika Pr̲asiddhīkaraṇa Vakupp, Kēraḷa Sarkkār |language=ml}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following this, the Travancore army retreated. In 1742, the combined forces of the Dutch and Kayamkulam captured [[Kilimanoor]]. For this reason [[Marthanda Varma|Marthandavarma]] brought cavalry from [[Tirunelveli]] and led the army towards Kilimanoor and captured Kilimanoor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Kerala (India) |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wci1AAAAIAAJ&amp;amp;q=battle+of+purakkad |title=Kerala District Gazetteers: Palghat |last2=Menon |first2=A.

But the King of Kayamkulam later violated the terms of this [[Ceasefire|truce]]. This led to the Travancore army conquering the Kayamkulam in 1746.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Menon |first=A.

Marthandavarma captured the small feudal state Odanad and annexed it to Travancore for helping Kayamkulam in the war with Travancore. Present [[Ambalappuzha|Ambalapuzha]] and [[Kuttanad]] taluks were included in this.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=V |first=Nidheesh C. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6XE4EAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%B1%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%9F%E0%B5%8D+%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%A6%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A7%E0%B4%82&amp;amp;pg=PA17 |title=ആധുനിക തിരുവിതാംകൂർ - മാർത്താണ്ഡ വർമ്മ മുതൽ ശ്രീ ചിത്തിര തിരുനാൾ വരെ |publisher=Nidheesh C V |language=ml}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Juang&#039;&#039;&#039; are an [[Austroasiatic languages|Austroasiatic]] ethnic group found only in the Gonsaika hills of [[Keonjhar district]] of [[Odisha]]. Some &#039;&#039;Juangs&#039;&#039;, however migrated to neighbouring plains of [[Dhenkanal district]] of Odisha during the Bhuiyan revolt in the late 19th century.  The [[Juang language]] belongs to the [[Munda languages|Munda family]]{{citation needed|date=October 2023}} of the [[Austroasiatic languages]]. They are classified as a [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled Tribe]] by the Indian government.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;census&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The 2011 census showed their population to be around 50,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Juang.jpg|thumb|A sketch of Juang people in 1872]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Juang tradition claims that the place where the tribe originated is the Gonasika Hills, near Keonjhar, at the source of the [[Baitarani River]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.panoramio.com/photo/39117421 Gonasika Hill, near Keonjhar, origin of River Baitarani]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
After the British declared their forests as reserves, the Juangs were forced to look for an alternative way of sustenance. They were skilled at basket-weaving, which was in demand in nearby caste villages. The Juangs would exchange their baskets for salt, oil, food, money from the village traders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|title=Forest tribes of Orissa : lifestyle and social conditions of selected Orissan tribes|last1=Naveen|first1=Patnaik|last2=Choudhury|first2=B.P.|last3=Seeland|first3=K.|last4=Rath|first4=A.|last5=Biswal|first5=A.K.|last6=Giri|first6=D.B.|publisher=D.K.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India&#039;&#039;&#039; was an [[Indian classical music]] revue led by [[sitar]]ist and composer [[Ravi Shankar]] intended for Western concert audiences and performed in 1974. Its presentation was the first project undertaken by the [[Material World Charitable Foundation]], set up the previous year by ex-[[The Beatles|Beatle]] [[George Harrison]]. Long a champion of Indian music, Harrison also produced an eponymous studio album by the Music Festival orchestra, which was released in 1976 on his [[Dark Horse Records|Dark Horse]] record label. Both the CD format of the &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; album and a DVD of their performance at the [[Royal Albert Hall]] in London were issued for the first time on the 2010 Shankar–Harrison box set &#039;&#039;[[Collaborations (Ravi Shankar and George Harrison album)|Collaborations]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sixteen members of Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India included [[Hariprasad Chaurasia]], [[Shivkumar Sharma]], [[Alla Rakha]], [[T. V. Gopalakrishnan|T.V. Gopalkrishnan]], [[L. Subramaniam]], [[Sultan Khan (musician)|Sultan Khan]] and [[Lakshmi Shankar]]. Several of the musicians began successful international careers as a result of their participation, and all are recognised as being among the late twentieth century&#039;s finest exponents of Indian classical music. The ensemble played in Europe in September and October 1974 before [[George Harrison and Ravi Shankar&#039;s 1974 North American tour|touring North America with Harrison and his band]] during the final two months of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background and concept==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Subah-e-Banaras.jpg|thumb|260px|left|Present-day Benares (Varanasi). The plan for the Music Festival from India came about when George Harrison visited Shankar at his riverfront house in Benares in January 1974.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Although he had composed and performed orchestral works in India, as [[All India Radio]]&#039;s music director between 1949 and 1956,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lavezzoli, p. 50.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Ravi Shankar]]&#039;s only similar project for Western audiences had been when he toured America with his [[Ravi Shankar&#039;s Festival from India|Festival from India]] orchestra in 1968.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 203–04, 324.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The tour featured musicians such as [[Shivkumar Sharma]], [[Jitendra Abhisheki]] and [[Palghat R. Raghu|Palghat Raghu]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.ravishankar.org/reflections.html &amp;quot;Excerpts from a conversation between Raviji and Satish and Shashi Vyas, June 2007&amp;quot;], The Ravi Shankar Foundation (retrieved 9 February 2012).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with Shankar&#039;s regular [[jugalbandi]] partner, [[sarod]]ya [[Ali Akbar Khan]], joining the ensemble for their concerts in California.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Braitman/VN News&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Stephen M.H. Braitman, &amp;quot;Pop Sounds from India Rock Greek: Ravi Shankar, Greek Theatre, Los Angeles&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;[[Los Angeles Daily News#History|Van Nuys News]]&#039;&#039;, 30 June 1968; available at [http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/pop-sounds-from-india-rock-greek-ravi-shankar-greek-theatre-los-angeles Rock&#039;s Backpages] (subscription required).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Staff writer, [http://stanforddailyarchive.com/cgi-bin/stanford?a=d&amp;amp;d=stanford19680705-01.2.16&amp;amp;e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-student+army+training+corps------# &amp;quot;Shankar, Indians To Play In Festival&amp;quot;], &#039;&#039;[[The Stanford Daily]]&#039;&#039;, 5 July 1968, p. 6 (retrieved 25 August 2015).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The plan for the larger Music Festival from India took shape in January 1974,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Olivia p 302&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; when his friend [[George Harrison]] visited Shankar in his home town of [[Benares]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Leng, pp. 148, 165.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Harrison attended a religious ceremony in honour of Shankar&#039;s new home, Hemangana, beside the [[River Ganges]] at Benares, after which he suggested that Shankar assemble an orchestra for concert tours of Europe and the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, p. 223.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to Harrison, the Music Festival was something that he himself had been wanting to stage &amp;quot;since about &#039;67&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated3&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Collaborations&#039;&#039;, p. 15.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was particularly inspired after hearing Shankar&#039;s orchestral piece &#039;&#039;Nava Rasa Ranga&#039;&#039; while in Bombay, where Harrison had recorded part of his 1968 solo album &#039;&#039;[[Wonderwall Music]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Olivia p 302&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Olivia Harrison, p. 302.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike the Harrison-produced &#039;&#039;[[Shankar Family &amp;amp; Friends]]&#039;&#039;, a cross-cultural project recorded in 1973,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Rodriguez, p. 237.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the focus behind the new collaboration was to celebrate the traditional aspects of [[Indian classical music]], both in concerts performed by the sixteen-piece Music Festival orchestra and in the studio.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated1&amp;gt;Lavezzoli, p. 195.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Shankar would act as composer and conductor, rather than musician, and only play sitar on his famed [[ragas]] during the live performances. The presentation of the Music Festival was the first project undertaken by Harrison under the auspices of his [[Material World Charitable Foundation]], one of the aims of which was to &amp;quot;sponsor diverse forms of artistic expression and to encourage the exploration of alternative life views and philosophies&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Collaborations&#039;&#039;, p. 32.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Musicians==&lt;br /&gt;
Shankar gathered an impressive array of contributors for the project, whom he would describe decades later as &amp;quot;these wonderful musicians who are now superstars&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated3 /&amp;gt; Many of the players he had a musical history with already.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 113, 222–23.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Almost all of them are among the finest exponents of Indian classical music&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Rodriguez, p. 238.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; – flautist [[Hariprasad Chaurasia]], [[tabla]] legend [[Alla Rakha]], the multi-talented [[T. V. Gopalakrishnan|T.V. Gopalkrishnan]] on [[mridangam]] and vocals, South Indian violin virtuoso [[L. Subramaniam]], [[sarangi]] master [[Sultan Khan (musician)|Sultan Khan]], [[santoor]] pioneer [[Shivkumar Sharma]], and [[Gopal Krishan]], credited with the emergence of the [[vichitra veena]] in that musical genre. A sitarist and percussion player, [[Harihar Rao]] had been a student of Shankar&#039;s during the 1950s before winning a [[Fulbright scholarship]] and taking a position in the [[ethnomusicology]] department of the [[University of California, Los Angeles]] (UCLA).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lavezzoli, pp. 294–95&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Lavezzoli, pp. 294–95.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The featured singer was once more [[Lakshmi Shankar]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Leng, p. 138.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Shankar&#039;s sister-in-law and a noted [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani]] vocalist.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Manjari Sinha, [http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/article3217603.ece &amp;quot;Ageless artiste, timeless charm …&amp;quot;], &#039;&#039;[[The Hindu]]&#039;&#039;, 24 March 2006 (retrieved 19 August 2014).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Like Sharma, Rakha and Lakshmi had been among the members of Shankar&#039;s 1968 revue.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Braitman/VN News&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; For the first time in one of his projects, Shankar invited his niece [[Viji Shankar|Viji]] (Lakshmi&#039;s daughter), who joined her aunt, [[Kamala Chakravarty]], as second vocalists to Lakshmi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shankar p 224&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rehearsals and recording==&lt;br /&gt;
Shankar and Harrison met again during the summer of 1974, in England, where Harrison arranged a house in London&#039;s [[Belgravia]] area for Shankar and the latter&#039;s partner, Chakravarty, while the other musicians were accommodated at the Imperial Hotel in [[Henley-on-Thames]], west of London.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 224, 268–69.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Harrison had the orchestra personnel picked up from the hotel each day in a Mercedes [[stretch limousine]] previously owned by [[John Lennon]] and [[Yoko Ono]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shankar p 224&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Shankar, p. 224.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He later recalled the amusing sight of Rakha and the other traditionally dressed Indian musicians as they exited the vehicle on arrival at his Henley home, [[Friar Park]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Olivia p 302&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shankar composed new material specifically for the Music Festival and recorded it using Harrison&#039;s 16-track home studio facility, [[FPSHOT]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Madinger &amp;amp; Easter, pp. 442, 443.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Describing himself as &amp;quot;an improviser by nature&amp;quot;, every day for three weeks Shankar would leave London and head west on the [[M4 motorway|M4]],&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated3 /&amp;gt; during which he would write the music to be run through with the musicians that day in Friar Park&#039;s grand drawing room.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 224, 305.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Harrison remarked of the process: &amp;quot;It was amazing, because he&#039;d sit there and say to one person, &#039;This is where you play,&#039; and the next one, &#039;And you do this,&#039; and &#039;You do that,&#039; and they&#039;re all going, What? &#039;OK, one, two, three ...&#039; And you&#039;d think, &#039;This is going to be a catastrophe&#039; – and it would be the most amazing thing.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Olivia p 302&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The principal sound engineer on the sessions, and Harrison&#039;s regular engineer at FPSHOT during this period, was Shankar&#039;s nephew Kumar,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Leng, p. 146.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with [[Phil McDonald]] assisting on &amp;quot;Raga Jait&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Naderdani&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LP sleeve credits&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Sleeve credits, &#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India&#039;&#039; LP ([[Dark Horse Records]], 1976; produced by George Harrison).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kumar Shankar joined the cast for publicity photos taken by [[Clive Arrowsmith]] in the house and grounds.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Olivia Harrison, pp. 304–07, 397.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;George Harrison, plate XXXIX.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The orchestra rehearsed for their upcoming live performances at Friar Park also.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Madinger &amp;amp; Easter p 442&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Madinger &amp;amp; Easter, p. 442.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Midway through the proceedings, on 6 September, Harrison held a press conference in London and announced plans for the Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India tour of Europe, lasting through into October.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Badman, p. 131.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A co-headlining North American tour would follow,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Leng, pp. 147–48.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 223, 225.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; for which Harrison, as the main attraction, was growing increasingly unprepared, such was his dedication to this project, and after having already lavished months of his time on &#039;&#039;[[The Place I Love]]&#039;&#039; by [[Splinter (band)|Splinter]], another Dark Horse act.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Olivia Harrison, p. 335.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Performance history==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Plucked string instruments (5) Indian string instruments, Sarod, Sitar, Iktara - Soinuenea.jpg|thumb|left|135px|Examples of three of the string instruments used in the Music Festival from India – [[sarod]], [[sitar]] and [[ektara]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
The programme for the concert performances was divided into two distinct parts.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Collaborations p 25&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Shankar explained at the time:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;The first part is in the form of a panorama, depicting major stages in the evolution of classical and traditional Indian music, starting with the [[Vedas|Vedic hymns]] and the music of the medieval period, and ending with the present day, touching briefly on all the intermediate forms such as [[alap]], [[dhrupad]], [[dhamar (music)|dhamar]], [[khyal]], [[tappa]], [[tarana]] and [[chaturanga]] ... The second part begins with the semi-classical forms such as the devotional [[bhajan]] and the romantic and erotic [[thumri]], [[ghazal]], [[dadra]], etc. and ends with the very lively and earthy folk style.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Collaborations p 25&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Collaborations&#039;&#039;, p. 25.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True to the festival&#039;s title, the folk traditions of all the various regions of India were represented,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Collaborations p 25&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; in what was the first appearance by an Indian orchestra in Europe.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated2&amp;gt;Leng, p. 148.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Similarly all-encompassing and educational were [[Naseem Khan (activist)|Naseem Khan]]&#039;s [[liner notes]] for the &#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India&#039;&#039; studio album, serving as an introductory guide to the wide variety of [[Indian musical instruments]] on display. The album would be issued long after the European tour, however, due to the release of &#039;&#039;Shankar Family &amp;amp; Friends&#039;&#039; in September 1974.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated2 /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Royal Albert Hall]] performance on 23 September was the Music Festival&#039;s opening night,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Staunton/RecCollect&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Terry Staunton, [http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/collaborations &amp;quot;Ravi Shankar &amp;amp; George Harrison – Collaborations&amp;quot;], &#039;&#039;[[Record Collector]]&#039;&#039;, December 2010, p. 82 (retrieved 16 August 2014).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; after which the tour moved on to Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt, Munich and Copenhagen.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Badman, p. 133.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Harrison took to the stage in London and admitted to &amp;quot;feeling very nervous ... we&#039;re behind schedule&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Concert Film, &amp;quot;Introduction by George Harrison&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;Music Festival from India – Live at the Royal Albert Hall&#039;&#039; DVD ([[Dark Horse Records]], 2010; produced by Olivia Harrison; directed by Stuart Cooper).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; before introducing Shankar to the audience.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;PopMatters&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The Royal Albert Hall concert was filmed by [[Stuart Cooper]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pieper p 171&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Pieper, p. 171.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; who had recently directed Harrison&#039;s [[Apple Films]] production &#039;&#039;[[Little Malcolm]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Michael Simmons, &amp;quot;Cry for a Shadow&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]&#039;&#039;, November 2011, pp. 84, 85.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brief European tour ended in October. The orchestra was then pared down to a sixteen-piece – omitting [[shehnai]] veteran [[Anant Lal]] and Kamala Chakravarty – for [[George Harrison and Ravi Shankar&#039;s 1974 North American tour|Shankar and Harrison&#039;s high-profile tour of the United States and Canada]], which began at [[Vancouver]]&#039;s [[Pacific Coliseum]] on 2 November.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Madinger &amp;amp; Easter, pp. 445, 447.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Four days later, the tour played in San Francisco,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Badman, p. 137.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; where some of the Indian musicians were also invited to perform at the Stone House, a historic building in Fairfax in [[Marin County, California|Marin County]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;SKhanSarangi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Liner notes, &#039;&#039;Sarangi: The Music of India&#039;&#039; CD ([[Rykodisc]], 1988; produced by Mickey Hart &amp;amp; Zakir Hussain).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Individual performances from this informal concert, by Sultan Khan and Hariprasad Chaurasia, were released on the albums &#039;&#039;Sarangi: The Music of India&#039;&#039; (1988)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.folkways.si.edu/ustad-sultan-khan/sarangi-the-music-of-india/world/album/smithsonian &amp;quot;Sarangi: The Music of India&amp;quot;], [[Smithsonian Folkways]] (retrieved 6 August 2016).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Trager, p. 328.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and &#039;&#039;Venu&#039;&#039; (1989).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.folkways.si.edu/hariprasad-zakir-hussain/venu/world/music/album/smithsonian &amp;quot;Venu&amp;quot;], [[Smithsonian Folkways]] (retrieved 6 August 2016).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{refn|group=nb|Co-produced by musician and ethnomusicologist [[Mickey Hart]], the two albums were reissued in 2011 as part of his 25-disc [[Smithsonian Folkways]] collection.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.folkways.si.edu/the-mickey-hart-collection/smithsonian &amp;quot;The Mickey Hart Collection&amp;quot;], [[Smithsonian Folkways]] (retrieved 6 August 2016).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Album release==&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Horse Records issued the album &#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival from India&#039;&#039; in February 1976 (March in the UK),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Editors of &#039;&#039;Rolling Stone&#039;&#039;, p. 193.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a year and a half after the recording sessions.

The back cover included a reproduction of the Music Festival tour poster designed by [[Jan Steward]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LP sleeve credits&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; who had created the cover for the 1968 &#039;&#039;Festival from India&#039;&#039; double album, among other works by Shankar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, pp. 204, 231.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Horse produced a promotional film for the album. The film included footage of Harrison with a voiceover by Shankar discussing his role, and a spinning LP sleeve accompanied by portions of music from the album.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pieper, p. 172.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The release coincided with a concert by Shankar at the [[Cathedral of St John the Divine]] in New York – a dawn-to-dusk recital celebrating twenty years of performances in the West by the artist.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shankar, p. 228.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in March 1976, the Californian television station [[KCET]] broadcast a 30-minute programme titled &#039;&#039;Ravi Shankar&#039;s Music Festival with George Harrison &amp;amp; Don Ellis&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pieper p 171&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Produced by [[Taylor Hackford]] and filmed in Los Angeles in 1975, the show was hosted by [[Don Ellis]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pieper, pp. 171–72.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a pioneer in [[Indo jazz]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;World Music: The Rough Guide&#039;&#039;, pp. 111, 114.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; who had studied Indian music under Harihar Rao at UCLA.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Lavezzoli, pp. 294–95&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{refn|group=nb|A trumpeter and composer, Ellis formed the Hindustani Jazz Sextet with Rao in 1964.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Film synopsis===&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens with an image of a large red [[Om]] symbol on a yellow sheet, which provides a backdrop to the Albert Hall stage. George Harrison then walks on and gives a brief, warm introduction to Ravi Shankar, after which the Music Festival from India performance begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stage is set with two large risers; the first in the shape of a square, the second, slightly more raised than the first one, is curved around behind it like a half-moon. On the square riser, from left to right, sit singers Viji Shankar, Lakshmi Shankar and Kamala Chakravarty, with percussionist Harihar Rao and [[bansuri]] player Hariprasad Chaurasia just behind them. Spread out along the crescent-shaped platform (from left to right) are three bowed string players, L. Subramaniam, [[Satyadev Pawar]] and Sultan Khan; Anant Lal, on shehnai; then the four drummers, T.V. Gopalkrishnan, Alla Rakha, [[Rijram Desad]] and [[Kamalesh Maitra]], the last two partly surrounded by their &#039;&#039;tarangs&#039;&#039; (circles) of hand drums. Completing the ring of musicians along this curved riser is sitarist [[Kartick Kumar]]; Gopal Krishan, behind a raised vichitra veena; and finally Shivkumar Sharma, behind the large, harpsichord-like santoor. Shankar conducts the orchestra from just in front of the first riser, his back to the audience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Midway through the film, the stage is cleared of all musicians except for four members of the orchestra and Shankar, who now plays sitar on the ensuing raga. After the customary slow [[alap]] section, Shankar&#039;s sitar trades musical phrases with Rakha&#039;s tabla, supported by Kumar and Rao, both on sitar, and Viji Shankar, playing the tambura. The whole ensemble then returns for further vocal and orchestral pieces, conducted by Shankar as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Kukatpally used to be an industrial corridor in the northwestern part of Hyderabad. Its population began to grow after the early 1990s, and many people migrating from [[Andhra Pradesh]] settled in and around Kukatpally.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Kukatpally pincode for Area |url=https://fastestpincode.com/telangana/medchal-malkajgiri/jntu-kukatpally-kphb-pincode-500085 |website=fastestpincode.com/}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Better source needed|reason=The current source is insufficiently reliable ([[BP:NOTRS]]).|date=November 2025}} Formerly a municipality, Kukutpally has merged into the [[Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ghmc&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Demographics==&lt;br /&gt;
The predominant language spoken in Kukatpally is [[Telugu language|Telugu]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://webconte.com/pin_code/place/kukatpally/2900|title=Kukatpally, Hyderabad, Telangana Government}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The suburb has the greatest population density within Hyderabad with 33,076 persons per km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.thehansindia.com/posts/index/Telangana/2018-06-18/Kukatpally-population-density-to-double-by-2041/390068 |title=Kukatpally population density to double by 2041 |publisher=THE HANS INDIA |date=18 June 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Economy==&lt;br /&gt;
Many small-scale industries are based in the Kukatpally–Sanathnagar belt. The presence of the Mumbai National Highway and Kukatpally Housing Board has led to a large-scale boom in retail activity, and Kukatpally has become a commercial hub in northwestern Hyderabad for restaurants, clothing retailers, and [[Small and medium enterprises|SME]] offices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The land prices of Kukatpally are high compared to most of Hyderabad. There are some residential high-rise apartments. Land costs [[Indian rupee|₹]]50,000–250,000 per square yard. A [[Apartment|residential flat]] costs ₹4500–8000 per square foot. Lodha Bellezza, the very first [[skyscraper]] of Hyderabad taller than 150 metres, was constructed in Kukatpally in 2014, and it remained the [[List of tallest buildings in Hyderabad|tallest building in Hyderabad]] until 2024.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Lodha Bellezza 3 - The Skyscraper Center |url=https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/lodha-bellezza-3/14687 |access-date=2025-05-25 |website=www.skyscrapercenter.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Transportation==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Prashantnagar - Kukatpally bus terminal.jpg|thumb|250px|Bus terminal in Kukatpally]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kukatpally is well-connected by road, rail, and air. The nearest airport is [[Rajiv Gandhi International Airport]] in Shamshabad. The nearest railway station is in [[Lingampally, Hyderabad|Lingampally]].

== Sub-units ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Badabag, Fort, Joyan and Hamira members represent the [[Middle Jurassic]] [[Bajocian]] and [[Bathonian]] stages,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jaisalmur&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; while the Jajiya and Kuldhar members represent the Middle Jurassic Callovian and the [[Late Jurassic]] [[Oxfordian (stage)|Oxfordian]] stages.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jaisalmur&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Paleoenvironment ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Jaisalmer district of India is a landlocked district in the state of [[Rajasthan]]. However, during the Middle Jurassic, the Jaisalmer Formation was located on the [[Tethys Ocean|Tethyan]] coast of [[Gondwanan]] India. A marine paleoenvironment is supported by the presence of Hybodont sharks.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The Kuldhar Member Limestone contained carbonate microfacies that also indicate a depositional environment composed mainly of [[Lagoon|lagoons]], [[Shoal|shoals]] and [[Ocean|open marine environments]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Asjad |first=Shaikh |last2=Khan |first2=K.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Conception===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I like making shows based on history. Maharaja Ranjit Singh is my fourth venture after the success of &#039;&#039;[[Jhansi Ki Rani (2009 TV series)|Jhansi Ki Rani]]&#039;&#039;. This show is purely a passion-driven, rather than a profit-driven venture. It promises to be the biggest historical out of our stable. We have worked for over a year and a half with a 500-man unit working day and night to translate our vision into reality. We are also working with state-of-the-art [[VFX]] supervisors and stylists to give freshness to this epic saga,&amp;quot; said the producer as well as creative head of the show, Abhimanyu Singh.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jain&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This show is very much different to the ones I&#039;ve made before. I have made many shows based on History like [[Chandra Nandni]] and [[Jodha Akbar]]. This show will be the biggest I have made&amp;quot; said the producer behind this show, [[Karan Chaggar]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series premiered on 20 March 2017, shortly after the hotly-contested [[2017 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections]] concluded in India. &amp;quot;This series is very contextual in today&#039;s political scenario&amp;quot;, observed Abhimanyu Singh. &amp;quot;Today, all politicians want to rule for power and have their own intent and agenda. Here we have Maharaja Ranjit Singh who actually ruled with sewa bhav which is a great teaching of [[Sikhism]]. Also the [[Sikh]]s were in minority in Punjab then yet he was able to administer the region, expand it from [[Afghanistan]] to present day [[Sutlej]], from [[Kashmir]] to [[Balochistan]]. All this became possible because of his inclusive policy, patience, passion, dedication and great administrative set-up.&amp;quot; He felt the show would make electors realise to choose those who can govern well while inspiring the elected to be serious about governance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ravi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Ravi|first1=S.|title=When aggression meets compassion|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/when-aggression-meets-compassion/article17535035.ece|accessdate=18 May 2017|work=The Hindu|date=20 March 2017|archive-date=23 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170323023037/http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/when-aggression-meets-compassion/article17535035.ece|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Casting===&lt;br /&gt;
Contiloe went through extensive auditions to find an actor appropriate to play the titular role of Ranjit Singh and finally chose [[Punjab]]-based 14-year-old actor Damanpreet Singh. Abhimanyu Singh said, &amp;quot;We chose Damanpreet Singh for playing the role of Maharaja Ranjit Singh after we were done with more than 150 auditions. His simplicity and innocence charmed us entirely. The other actors are Tunisha Sharma playing the role of Ranjit Singh&#039;s wife, Mehtab Kaur, Shaleen Bhanot as Ranjit Singh&#039;s father, Maha Singh, Sneha Wagh as Ranjit Singh&#039;s mother, Raj Kaur, Sonia Singh as Mehtab&#039;s mother, Sada Kaur and Rumi Khan as Mehtab&#039;s father, Gurbaksh.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jain&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Jain|first1=Ankita|title=A lion&#039;s tale|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/vivacity/a-lions-tale.html|accessdate=6 May 2017|work=[[The Pioneer (India)|The Pioneer]]|date=17 March 2017|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916012844/https://www.dailypioneer.com/vivacity/a-lions-tale.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On bagging the lead role, Damanpreet said, &amp;quot;I have read about Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji in school. I am in ninth class right now. It&#039;s an honour for me to portray him on national television.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Business Standard&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=IANS|title=&#039;Maharaja Ranjit Singh&#039;: An inspirational tale of a &#039;true&#039; Sikh leader|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/maharaja-ranjit-singh-an-inspirational-tale-of-a-true-sikh-leader-117031601409_1.html|accessdate=6 May 2017|work=Business Standard India|date=16 March 2017|archive-date=20 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320014231/http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/maharaja-ranjit-singh-an-inspirational-tale-of-a-true-sikh-leader-117031601409_1.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Damanpreet has been trained in horse-riding, sword-fighting and [[martial arts]] for the role.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Training zone|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/life-style/itsy-bitsy/training-zone/402763.html|accessdate=9 May 2017|work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]|date=May 6, 2017|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916012851/https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/life-style/itsy-bitsy/training-zone/402763.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He has also undergone special training with body language experts to mimic the movements of those who are impaired in one eye since Ranjit Singh lost sight in his left eye in his youth.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;March 20&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Singh|first1=Khushwant|title=Ranjit Singh|date=2008|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=9780143065432|page=4}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arhaan Behl]] was the first choice to play the role of Ranjit Singh&#039;s father, Maha Singh, but when he could not take it up, it went to [[Eijaz Khan]], who opted out for unknown reasons. [[Saurabh Raaj Jain]] was too approached to play the role but couldn&#039;t take up the project due to his busy schedule. Said a source associated with the project, &amp;quot;Arhaan was always the original choice for the role, but he couldn&#039;t take up the offer back then because of date issues. We then approached Eijaz, who was quite excited about playing the part, but the deal didn&#039;t materialise. We are elated to have Arhaan on board as he fits the bill perfectly. [[Rohit Khurana]] was approached for Gurbaksh Singh&#039;s role but declined it for unknown reasons.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jul 12, 2016&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The role ultimately went to Shaleen Bhanot. Being a non-Sikh and [[Punjabis|Punjabi]], Shaleen was in a [[cultural shock]] when the creative team of the show approached him. He researched for a period of six months to make sure his depiction of Maha Singh is impeccable. &amp;quot;I had to hire a Punjabi teacher which was another task living in [[Mumbai]]. For nine days I didn’t step out of my home. I watched [[Punjabi cinema|Punjabi movies]] and listened to [[Punjabi folk music]]. Now I think I am quite good at it,&amp;quot; Shaleen said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Jain|first1=Arushi|title=Shaleen Bhanot on preparing for Sher-E-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh: That &#039;assi&#039;, &#039;tussi&#039; was difficult to pick up|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/shaleen-bhanot-on-preparing-for-sher-e-punjab-maharaja-ranjit-singh-that-assitussi-was-difficult-to-pick-up-4579448/|accessdate=9 May 2017|work=The Indian Express|date=21 March 2017|archive-date=20 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170420154931/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/shaleen-bhanot-on-preparing-for-sher-e-punjab-maharaja-ranjit-singh-that-assitussi-was-difficult-to-pick-up-4579448/|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In February 2017, it was reported that Siddharth Vasudev had been cast to play the negative role of Sahib Singh Bhangi, the brother-in-law of Maha Singh and the leader of the [[Bhangi Misl]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=TNN|title=Sidharth Vasudev in &#039;Maharaja Ranjit Singh&#039;|url=http://www.bombaytimes.com/tv/india/sidharth-vasudev-in-maharaja-ranjit-singh/articleshow/56893356.cms|accessdate=18 May 2017|work=[[Bombay Times]]|date=February 1, 2017|archive-date=1 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201142916/http://www.bombaytimes.com/tv/india/sidharth-vasudev-in-maharaja-ranjit-singh/articleshow/56893356.cms|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Child actor Syed Aman Mian Sharma, who is currently in trend due to his character Balu in [[Sony Entertainment Television (India)|Sony Entertainment Television]]&#039;s historical drama &#039;&#039;[[Peshwa Bajirao (TV series)|Peshwa Bajirao]]&#039;&#039;, was chosen to play the pivotal role of a young [[Fakir Azizuddin|Azizuddin]] in the series. The actor was said to be working in both projects simultaneously.{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Historical accuracy===&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping in mind the sentiments of the Sikh community, Abhimanyu Singh stated that they had done a lot of research for the show. &amp;quot;We have followed [[Khushwant Singh]]&#039;s books. We have also followed instructions of Dr. [[J. S. Grewal]] and [[Gurbaksh Singh]], who are prominent historians&amp;quot;, said Abhimanyu Singh. A team of four including historian Dr. J. S. Grewal and author Dr. Gurbaksh Singh have gone through the screenplay thoroughly. &amp;quot;During shooting of important sequences they are present at the sets&amp;quot;, he added.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ravi&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Historians and weaponry experts worked with the production team for a period of 12 months prior to the release of the show.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;March 20&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=TNN|title=Here&#039;s a king who chose service over power!|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/india/heres-a-king-who-chose-service-over-power/articleshow/57716281.cms|accessdate=6 May 2017|work=The Times of India|date=March 20, 2017|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916012856/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/india/heres-a-king-who-chose-service-over-power/articleshow/57716281.cms|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sets===&lt;br /&gt;
The series was shot across various locations in [[Rajasthan]] and [[Maharashtra]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Business Standard&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; the sets were designed by [[Bollywood]] director, production and designer [[Omung Kumar]], who is renowned for his &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;bollywood&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; esque cinematography in films like &#039;&#039;[[Black (2005 film)|Black]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Saawariya]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Yuvvraj]]&#039;&#039;. In order to do justice to the grandeur of the royal Punjab courts, Kumar created a lavish set for the show in [[Amgaon]] near the Maharashtra-[[Gujarat]] border.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;March 20&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Costumes===&lt;br /&gt;
Noted [[Bollywood]] costume designer duo, Rushi Sharma and Manoshi Nath, who have tailored for films like &#039;&#039;[[PK (film)|PK]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Queen (2014 film)|Queen]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Kick (2014 film)|Kick]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Dhoom 3]]&#039;&#039; etc. have been roped in to clothe Ranjit Singh (Damanpreet Singh), his first wife Mehtab Kaur (Tunisha Sharma), father Maha Singh (Shaleen Bhanot), mother Raj Kaur (Sneha Wagh), father-in-law Gurbaksh Singh (Rumi Khan) and mother-in-law Sada Kaur (Sonia Singh).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Coutinho&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Said the duo, &amp;quot;We researched the era, [[Sikhism]] and the Maharaja himself, the fabrics and jewellery they wore then. We also incorporated the [[pan-Asian]] and middle-Asian influence on art and handlooms. We have given a particular colour for every character. For Ranjit, it&#039;s mostly white, for the antagonists its darker colours like emerald green, ruby red and midnight blue. Also, each character has a specific kind of jewellery.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Coutinho&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Action sequences===&lt;br /&gt;
Contiloe have roped in Bollywood stunt director [[Allan Amin]] to design the war sequences in the show, which have been shot in various places in India. In February 2017, Allan said, &amp;quot;I am designing the action sequences for the show. We have already shot the opening war sequence. When audiences will watch the sequence on their TV screens, they will feel like they are watching a movie. The makers of the show have supported me extensively and have given me the liberty to shoot these action sequences my way.&amp;quot; Contiloe were keen on giving the show a movie-like feel, and hence decided to hire the services of the celebrated stuntman.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Razzaq|first1=Sameena|title=Allan Amin trains Akashdeep for historical drama|url=http://www.asianage.com/entertainment/tv/210217/allan-amin-trains-akashdeep-for-historical-drama.html|accessdate=6 May 2017|work=[[Asian Age]]|date=21 February 2017|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916012838/http://www.asianage.com/entertainment/tv/210217/allan-amin-trains-akashdeep-for-historical-drama.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Music===&lt;br /&gt;
The title track of the series has been crooned by [[Sonu Nigam]]. He says he felt empowered by the number and the lyrics. &amp;quot;The song I sang for the show is the title track for the show ‘Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh’ by the same name, music by my dearest friend and super talented composer [[Raju Singh]] and written by [[Kumaar]]. I felt empowered by the song and the lyrics and I&#039;m sure even the listeners will feel the power we felt in creating this song,&amp;quot; said Sonu.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/sonu-nigam-croons-title-track/article17747495.ece|title=Sonu Nigam croons title track|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=31 Mar 2017|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916012852/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/sonu-nigam-croons-title-track/article17747495.ece|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Anvita Singh of &#039;&#039;[[The Times of India]]&#039;&#039; criticized the series upon its release. &amp;quot;Maharaja Ranjit Singh&#039;s fights, and the set, and even the way the story has been told is not engaging at all.&amp;quot; She further added, &amp;quot;The actors do what is required of them. Well, most of them, Akashdeep Saigal being an exception. The actor portrays Pir Muhammad, and considering the number of negative roles he has done in the past, one would have thought that Akashdeep would have been great at his job. But he is not. From the accent, to the way he carries himself; everything seems off about him. He does not spell dangerous or fearsome.&amp;quot; She concluded her review by saying that, &amp;quot;Shaleen Bhanot, who plays Maha Singh, Maharaja Ranjit Singh&#039;s father, is the only one who makes the show somewhat bearable.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Singh|first1=Anvita|title=Maharaja Ranjit Singh review: Nothing stands out, except a dry script, and a sad Akashdeep Saigal|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/what-s-hot/story/maharaja-ranjit-singh-review-nothing-stands-out-except-a-dry-script-and-a-sad-akashdeep-saigal-life-ok-lifetv-967015-2017-03-22|access-date=18 May 2017|work=The Times of India|date=March 22, 2017|archive-date=21 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521082623/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/maharaja-ranjit-singh-review-nothing-stands-out-except-a-dry-script-and-a-sad-akashdeep-saigal-life-ok-lifetv/1/910086.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Chitra Bharti Kathamala&#039;&#039;&#039; was a popular [[Indian comics|Indian]] [[comic book]] publication during the early 1980s. It was the comic publication line of one of the India&#039;s biggest publishers of Engineering and technical books - [[S.Chand]] and Company Ltd, [[New Delhi]]. They finally ended publishing comics in the late 1980s due to an increasingly competitive market in India with Western comics publishers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=&amp;lt;!-- not stated --&amp;gt; |date=2016 |title=The Routledge Companion to Comics |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Routledge_Companion_to_Comics/EevLDAAAQBAJ |publisher=[[Taylor &amp;amp; Francis]] |page=91 |isbn=9781317915386 |access-date=November 27, 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Hinduism]] in [[Sierra Leone]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is the [[religion]] of some [[South Asia]]n expatriates.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71323.htm International Religious Freedom Report 2006, Sierra Leone] reported that there is small number of Hindus in Sierra Leone&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hindus in Sierra Leone are primarily of South Asian descent and are usually traders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-religions-are-practised-in-sierra-leone.html|title = Major Religions of Sierra Leone|date = 4 April 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There are 4,400 [[Hindus]] (0.05%) in [[Sierra Leone]] as of 2025, according to [[Association of Religion Data Archives|ARDA]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.thearda.com/world-religion/national-profiles?u=200c#RELADH|title=Sierra Leone, Religion And Social Profile|website=thearda.com|access-date=2025-11-26}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Freetown]], the capital and principal city of Sierra Leone, has a large Hindu community, including a Hindu association and a priest. Hindus are allowed [[cremation]] in Freetown.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.news.sl/drwebsite/publish/printer_20057559.shtml |title=Indians’ Cremation Ceremony versus disgruntled youths in Sierra Leone |access-date=2013-07-31 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303232655/http://www.news.sl/drwebsite/publish/printer_20057559.shtml |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Following the exodus of [[expatriate]]s in 1999 during the [[Sierra Leone civil war]], the Indian community numbers dwindled to about 1500, mostly businessmen of [[Sindhi people|Sindhi]] origin.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20070928044313/http://mea.gov.in/foreignrelation/11fr10.pdf Indian Community in Sierra Leone], p. 5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Colonial magazine.jpg|thumb|[[Colonial Williamsburg]] magazine of the eighteenth century in [[Virginia]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;magazine&#039;&#039;&#039; is an item or place within which [[ammunition]] or other explosive material is stored. The word is taken originally from the Arabic word &#039;&#039;makhāzin&#039;&#039; (مخازن), meaning &amp;quot;storehouses&amp;quot;, via Italian and Middle French.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dictionary.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/magazine#wordOrigin |title = Magazine |website = Dictionary.com |publisher= Dictionary.com, LLC |access-date=2018-07-12 |quote= &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Origin of magazine: 1575–85; &amp;lt; French magasin &amp;lt; Italian magazzino storehouse &amp;lt; Arabic makhāzin, plural of makhzan storehouse&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AmericanHeritage&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia | title = magazine | encyclopedia = American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language | edition = Fifth | year = 2011 | access-date = 2018-07-12 | url = https://www.thefreedictionary.com/magazine | publisher = Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company | quote = French magasin, storehouse, from Old French magazin (possibly via Old Italian magazzino), from Arabic maḫāzin, pl. of maḫzan, from ḫazana, to store[...] }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Collins&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia | title = magazine | encyclopedia = Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged | edition = 12th | year = 2014 | access-date = 2018-07-12 | url = https://www.thefreedictionary.com/magazine | publisher = HarperCollins Publishers | quote = via French magasin from Italian magazzino, from Arabic makhāzin, plural of makhzan storehouse, from khazana to store away }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term is also used for an [[ammunition dump]], a place where large quantities of ammunition are stored for later distribution. This usage is less common.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Field magazines==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Shell lift, Les Landes, Jersey.JPG|thumb|right|A [[Ammunition hoist|shell hoist]] within a fixed gun emplacement at [[Battery Moltke]], used to lift ordnance from a room below]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the early history of tube [[artillery]] drawn by horses (and later by mechanized vehicles), ammunition was carried in separate unarmored wagons or vehicles.  These soft-skinned vehicles were extremely vulnerable to enemy fire and to explosions caused by a weapons malfunction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, as part of setting up an [[artillery battery]], a designated place would be used to shelter the ready ammunition.  In the case of batteries of towed artillery the temporary magazine would be placed, if possible, in a pit, or natural declivity, or surrounded by [[sandbag]]s or [[Earthworks (engineering)|earthworks]].  Circumstances might require the establishment of multiple field magazines so that one lucky hit or accident would not disable the entire battery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The ammunition storage area aboard a [[warship]] is referred to as a magazine or the &amp;quot;ship&#039;s magazine&amp;quot; by sailors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, when artillery was fired with [[gunpowder]], a warship&#039;s magazines were built below the water line—especially since the magazines could then be readily flooded in case of fire or other dangerous emergencies on board the ship. An open flame was never allowed inside the magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More modern warships use semi-automated or automated [[Gun turret#Layout|ammunition hoist]]s. The path through which the [[naval artillery]]&#039;s ammunition passed typically has blast-resistant airlocks and other safety devices, including provisions to flood the compartment with seawater in an emergency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The separation of shell and propellant gave the storage of the former the name &amp;quot;shell room&amp;quot; and the latter &amp;quot;powder room&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:US Navy 030327-N-1328C-519 Aviation Ordnancemen assemble bombs aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71).jpg|thumb|right|Weapons magazine aboard {{USS|Theodore Roosevelt|CVN-71|6}} in 2003]]&lt;br /&gt;
Surface warships that have carried [[torpedo]]es, and ones that still do (such as the [[Mark 46 torpedo]] for [[antisubmarine warfare]]), have had torpedo magazines for carrying these dangerous antiship and antisubmarine weapons in well-defended compartments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the advent of missile-equipped [[warship]]s, the term missile &amp;quot;magazine&amp;quot; has also been applied to the storage area for [[guided missile]]s on the ship, usually carried below the main decks of the warships. For ships with both forward and aft [[surface-to-air missile]] launchers, there are at least two missile magazines. Sometimes the magazines of [[guided-missile frigate]]s and [[guided-missile destroyer]]s have carried or do carry a mixture of various types of missiles: [[surface-to-air missile]]s, [[antisubmarine]] missiles such as the [[ASROC|ASROC missile]], and [[anti-ship missile]]s such as the [[Harpoon missile]]. See especially the {{Sclass|Oliver Hazard Perry|frigate|1}}s, owned by several different navies around the world, in which one 40-missile magazine carries a mixture of all three types of missiles: surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and surface-to-underwater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[aircraft carrier]]s, the magazines are required to store not only the aircraft carrier&#039;s own defensive weapons, but all of the weapons for her [[warplane]]s, including rapid-fire gun ammunition, [[air-to-air missile]]s such as the [[Sidewinder missile]], [[air-to-surface missile]]s such as the [[Maverick missile]], [[Mk 46 torpedo|Mk 46 ASW torpedo]]es, [[Joint Direct Attack Munition]]s, &amp;quot;dumb bombs&amp;quot;, [[HARM missile]]s, and anti-ship missiles such as the [[Harpoon missile]] and the [[Exocet missile]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Detonation threat ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Yamato explosion.jpg|thumb|right|The magazines of the &#039;&#039;Yamato&#039;&#039; explode|alt=A view of the ocean stretching to the horizon with the silhouette of a distant small warship visible to the left. To the right an enormous mushroom cloud rises high into the sky.|201x201px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Naval magazines face considerable risk of [[detonation]], especially in cases of attack, accident, or fire. Such detonations have sunk many warships and caused many other incidents.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=H-029-5 Ordnance Accidents|url=https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/about-us/leadership/director/directors-corner/h-grams/h-gram-029/h-029-5.html|access-date=2020-11-09|website=NHHC|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battleships were highly armored to protect from external attack, but the strength of the construction aids to constrict and worsen the impact of internal explosions, as the rigid steel does not allow blast waves to dissipate. The [[USS Iowa turret explosion|USS &#039;&#039;Iowa&#039;&#039; turret explosion]] was such an example: in 1989 a loading incident caused a gun turret explosion, which spread to further powder stores in the turret, which eventually killed all 47 men in the turret. The turret served to contain the blast, protecting the rest of the ship, but amplified the blast inside the turret ensuring deadly conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=H-029-4 USS Iowa Turret Explosion|url=https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/about-us/leadership/director/directors-corner/h-grams/h-gram-029/h-029-4.html|access-date=2020-11-09|website=NHHC|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During World War II, many ships met their end via magazine detonations. During the 1941 [[Attack on Pearl Harbor]], the {{USS|Arizona|BB-39|6}} was destroyed when a Japanese armor-piercing bomb punched through her deck and detonated in proximity to the ship&#039;s ammunition magazine, which was caught on film. The magazines of the [[Japanese battleship Yamato|Japanese battleship &#039;&#039;Yamato&#039;&#039;]] exploded in 1945 after hours of continuous assault by Allied aircraft, utterly destroying the ship and leaving few survivors.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;G&amp;amp;D65&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Garzke and Dulin (1985), p. 65.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cfrecord&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|year=2009|title=Combined Fleet – tabular history of &#039;&#039;Yamato&#039;&#039;|url=http://combinedfleet.com/yamato.htm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101129040009/http://www.combinedfleet.com/yamato.htm|archive-date=29 November 2010|access-date=1 April 2010|publisher=Parshall, Jon; Bob Hackett, Sander Kingsepp, &amp;amp; Allyn Nevitt}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Apadāna&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a collection of biographical stories found in the [[Khuddaka Nikaya]] of the [[Pali Canon|Pāli Canon]], the scriptures of [[Theravada]] Buddhism. G.P. Malalasekera describes it as &#039;a Buddhist Vitae Sanctorum&#039; of Buddhist monks and nuns who lived during the lifetime of the Buddha.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;G.P. Malalasekera, &#039;&#039;Dictionary of Pali Proper Names&#039;&#039;. Available at [http://www.aimwell.org/DPPN/apadana.html].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is thought to be one of the latest additions to the canon.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Oskar von Hinüber, &#039;&#039;Handbook of Pali Literature&#039;&#039;, New Delhi 1996: 61.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The exact meaning of the title &#039;&#039;Apadāna&#039;&#039; is not known. Perhaps it means &#039;life history&#039; or &#039;legend&#039;. In [[Pāli]] it has the additional, older meaning of advice or moral instruction. Dr Sally Cutler has suggested the word originally meant &#039;reapings&#039;, i.e. of the results of karma.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Cutler, Sally Mellick (1994). [https://web.archive.org/web/20150409152448/http://www.palitext.com/JPTS_scans/JPTS_1994_XX.pdf The Pali Apadana Collection], Journal of the Pali Text Society, volume XX&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The title is sometimes translated as the &#039;&#039;Biographical Stories&#039;&#039;, or simply as &#039;&#039;The Stories&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Apadāna&#039;&#039; consists of about 600 poems (between 589&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; and 603 in different editions), mostly biographical stories of senior Buddhist monks and nuns, but also of Buddhas and solitary Buddhas. Many of the stories of monks and nuns are expansions of, or otherwise related to, verses presented in the [[Theragatha]] and [[Therigatha]] as having been spoken by senior members of the early [[Sangha (Buddhism)|Sangha]]. The Apadāna is a parallel to the Jātaka commentary, in which the Buddha recounts his previous lives.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Apadāna stories follow a fairly predictable outline, in which the speaker recounts their meritorious deeds in previous births as ethical individuals in a variety of different circumstances in different parts of India, before finally recounting the story of their present birth and how they came to be disciples of the Buddha.  These stories of the previous lives of famous and not so famous monks and nuns may have been meant to provide moral examples to lay followers who wished to live as [[Buddhist]]s but were unable or unwilling to undertake ordination as bhikkhus or bhikkhunis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The text is divided into four sections:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 1.  Buddha-apadāna: A praise of the previous Buddhas and their Buddha fields (buddhakkhetta). 1 chapter of 82 verses (in the Burmese Sixth Council edition)&lt;br /&gt;
* 2.  Paccekabuddha-apadāna: Ānanda questions the Buddha about the enlightenment of solitary Buddhas (paccekabuddha). 1 chapter of 47 verses.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3.  Thera-apadāna: 55 chapters of 10 apadānas of senior monks. In total 547 verses. &lt;br /&gt;
* 4.  Therī-apadāna: 4 chapters of 10 apadānas of senior nuns. In total 40 verses.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Translations==&lt;br /&gt;
A complete translation of the &#039;&#039;Apadāna&#039;&#039; into English has now been made by Jonathan S. Walters: &#039;&#039;Legends of the Buddhist Saints: Apadānapāli&#039;&#039;  [http://apadanatranslation.org/], Whitman College, 2017.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Construction==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The construction of City Park in Jaipur has been carried out by the Rajasthan Housing Board. Initially, the area was a [[Wrecking yard|junkyard]] of [[jaipur metro|Jaipur Metro]], which has now been transformed into a beautiful park. The first phase includes horticulture, civil work, jogging tracks, fountains, and two parking areas. The second phase will feature a fountain square and botanical garden. The total construction cost was around ₹120 crore.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://firstindia.co.in/news/jaipur/cm-to-inaugurate-city-park-developed-by-rhb-on-october-21 |title=CM to inaugurate City Park developed by RHB on October 21 |website=First India |access-date=21 July 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://rhb.rajasthan.gov.in/content/dam/raj/udh/organizations/rajasthan-housing-board/pdf/Tenders/NIT_NO.%2020_2022-23_ACE_III_2022-23_446_DATED_29.11.2022.PDF |title=NIT No. 20/2022-23 ACE III Dated 29.11.2022 |website=Rajasthan Housing Board |access-date=21 July 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Protestants in India&#039;&#039;&#039; are a minority and a sub-section of [[Christians in India]] and also to a certain extent the [[Christians in Pakistan]] before the [[Partition of India]], that adhere to some or all of the doctrines of [[Protestantism]]. Protestants in India are a small minority in a predominantly [[Hindu]] majority country, but form majorities in the north-eastern states of [[Meghalaya]], [[Mizoram]] and [[Nagaland]]. They are also significant minorities in [[Punjab region]], [[Konkan region]], [[Bengal]], [[Kerala]] and [[Tamil Nadu]], with various communities in east coast and northern states. Protestants can trace their origins back to the [[Protestant Revolution of the 16th century]]. There are an estimated 20 million Protestants and 16 million Pentecostals in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hunt 2015 p. 68&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book | last=Hunt | first=S.J. | title=Handbook of Global Contemporary Christianity: Themes and Developments in Culture, Politics, and Society | publisher=Brill | series=Brill Handbooks on Contemporary Religion | year=2015 | isbn=978-90-04-29102-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gH-9BwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA68 | access-date=2023-08-05 | page=68}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Many Protestant denominations are represented in India, the result of missionary activities throughout the country especially under [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The largest Protestant denomination in the country is the [[Church of South India]], since 1947 a union of [[Presbyterian]], [[Reformed church|Reformed]], [[Congregational]], [[Methodist]], and [[Anglican]] [[wikt:congregation|congregation]]s with approximately 4 million members as of 2014. The broadly similar [[Church of North India]] had 1 million members. (Both churches are in full communion with the [[Anglican Communion]].) There were about 1.3 million Lutherans, 473,000 Methodists, and 425,000 Baptists as of 1995.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pentecostalism, one of the largest Protestant denominations worldwide, is also a rapidly growing denomination in India. It is spreading greatly in [[northern India]] and the southwestern areas, such as [[Kerala]]. The largest indigenous Pentecostal denominations in India are [[The Pentecostal Mission]] (TPM) and the [[India Pentecostal Church of God]] (IPC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the smaller denominations, another prominent group is the Brethren. They include [[Plymouth Brethren]], [[Indian Brethren]], [[Kerala Brethren]] etc. The [[Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Churches in India]] has more than 100,000 members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the oldest denominations meanwhile is the [[Northern Evangelical Lutheran Church]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable missionaries ==&lt;br /&gt;
Protestant [[missionaries]] began to work throughout [[India]], leading to the growth of different Christian communities. In 1793, [[William Carey (missionary)|William Carey]], an English Baptist Minister, came to India as a missionary. He worked in [[Serampore]], [[Calcutta]] and other cities founding churches. On the educational front, in addition to starting the [[Serampore College]], he also translated the Bible into [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Sanskrit]], continuing with these labours until his death in 1834.[[Anthony Norris Groves]], [[Plymouth Brethren]] missionary came to India in 1833. He worked in the [[Godavari River|Godavari delta]] area of then [[Madras Presidency]], until his death in 1852.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missionaries such as [[Amy Carmichael]], [[Ida S. Scudder]] and [[Joyce M. Woollard]] continued the work in the 20th century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==21st century==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the 2015 India Demographic and Health Survey, 2.6% of the population is Christian.&amp;lt;ref name=US2022&amp;gt;[https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/india US State Dept 2022 report]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Other reports stated that Catholics make up 1.71% of the population, suggesting that less than 0.9% of the country has a Protestant background.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.catholicsandcultures.org/india Catholics And Culture website, retrieved 2023-08-08]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A report in 2021 noted that many Indian Christians share Hindu beliefs, in particular in karma (54%), and reincarnation (29%);&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/07/12/8-key-findings-about-christians-in-india/ Pew Research website, article dated July 12, 2021]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; it also noted that three-quarters of Indian Christians come from a lower-caste background.&lt;br /&gt;
