== Statements and views ==

=== Extreme ideologies must be repelled ===
After the [[2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings|bombings in Sri Lanka in 2019]], Asjad Raza issued a strongly worded statement condemning the attacks and urging all nations to "repel the evil" and combat terrorist ideologies.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Extreme ideologies must be repelled: Indian Grand |url=http://www.dailynews.lk/2019/04/23/local/183570/extreme-ideologies-must-be-repelled-indian-grand-mufti|access-date=2020-06-20|website=Daily News|language=en}}</ref>

=== Demanding a ban on Zakir Naik ===
Upon [[Zakir Naik]] being named as one of the influencers of the bombers in a [[July 2016 Dhaka attack|terrorist attack in Bangladesh]], Asjad said:
{{Quote|
“India is the land of Sufism. Dr Naik speaks the language of terrorism. His thoughts are not Islamic, but related to (fundamentalist) [[Wahhabism]]. Back in 2008, we had demanded that the central and state governments to impose a ban on his speeches and programmes. Sufi Barelvis are united against him."<ref>{{Cite news|date=July 7, 2016|first=Priyangi|last=Agarwal|title=Zakir Naik's activities are against Islam: Bareilly clerics|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bareilly/Zakir-Naiks-activities-are-against-Islam-Bareilly-clerics/articleshow/53101683.cms|access-date=2020-06-20|work=[[The Times of India]]|language=en}}</ref>}}

Asjad Raza also appealed to Muslim youth to refrain from listening to his speeches.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2016-07-10|title='Islam does not approve of killings': Aligarh Muslims slam Zakir Naik's sermons|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/islam-does-not-approve-of-killings-aligarh-muslims-slam-zakir-naik-s-sermons/story-PvJadn36eOBG5btkJAyk4H.html|access-date=2021-06-14|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-28 |title=बरेली: मुफ्ती असजद रजा खां बोले- अपने बच्चों को दिलाएं दीनी दुनियावी तालीम, बच्चियों को मोबाइल से रखें दूर |url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/state/uttar-pradesh/bareilly/mufti-asjad-raza-khan-said-provide-religious-worldly-education-to-your-children-keep-them-away-from-mobile-smk |access-date=2023-05-30 |website=Prabhat Khabar |language=hi}}</ref>

=== Refusal to recite the National Song ===
Asjad Raza opposed the forced singing of the [[Vande Mataram]] song on [[Indian Independence Day]] at minority run educational institutions due to it being "un-Islamic", despite being ordered to by the [[Uttar Pradesh government]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vidhya|first=K.|date=2017-08-13|title=Singing national anthem is un-Islamic, say UP Muslim clerics|url=https://www.ibtimes.co.in/heres-reason-muslim-clerics-came-not-singing-national-anthem-738322|access-date=2020-06-20|website=International Business Times, India Edition|language=english}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2017-08-13|title=Do not sing national song on I-Day: Cleric asks madarsas to defy Yogi govt order|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/cleric-dumps-yogi-govt-s-order-asks-madrasas-to-not-sing-national-song-on-independence-day/story-XPnYGyT55NC5TlPBHPslPN.html|access-date=2020-06-20|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2017-08-16|title=National Security Act May be Slapped on Madrassas for Violating National Order on Independence Day|url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/national-security-act-may-be-slapped-on-madrassas-for-violating-national-order-on-independence-day-1492767.html|access-date=2020-06-20|work=[[News18]]}}</ref>

== Controversy ==
=== Related to Salman Hasan Siddiqui ===
On 29 July 2021, during a press conference Mannan Raza Khan alias Mannani Miyan, spoke out strongly against Asjad Raza, in July 2021 when reports emerged that Asjad Raza's son-in-law Salman Hasan Siddiqui had met privately with [[Yogi Adityanath]], the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Mannani questioned Asjad Raza's qualifications for ''Qazi-al-Hindustan'' and suggested that he needed to present his educational qualifications for the role. Mannani Miyan stated that people were misusing the name of the Dargah Aala Hazrat for their own benefits. He said that if his brother, Akhtar Raza Khan, was alive, he would have been very disheartened with the situation. Mannani Miyan demanded Asjad Raza to renounce the charge of ''Qazi-al-Hindustan'', that he dissolve Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa, and handover all documents to the family.<ref>{{cite news|last1=India|first1=News18|work=[[News18 India]]|date=1 August 2021|title=Salman meets cm yogi associated with ala hazrat|url=https://hindi.news18.com/news/uttar-pradesh/bareilly-salman-mian-meets-cm-yogi-associated-with-ala-hazrat-nodssp-3677322.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Jagran|first1=Dainik|work=[[Dainik Jagran]]|date=2 August 2021|title=Mannani miyan angry on meeting cm yogi aditya nath said asjad raza is not fit to be called qazi ul hindustan asked for certificate of education|url=https://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/bareilly-city-mannani-miyan-angry-on-meeting-cm-yogi-aditya-nath-said-asjad-raza-is-not-fit-to-be-called-qazi-ul-hindustan-asked-for-certificate-of-education-21886598.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Mirror|first1=Muslim|work=Muslim Mirror|date=31 July 2021|title=Anger mounts among Barelvi Muslims as Dargah-e-Aala Hazrat cleric meets Yogi|url=https://muslimmirror.com/eng/anger-mounts-among-barelvi-muslims-as-dargah-e-aala-hazrat-cleric-meets-yogi/}}</ref>

On 20 November 1971, Indian troops of the 14th Battalion of the [[Punjab Regiment (India)|Punjab Regiment]] with 14 supporting [[PT-76]] tanks from the [[45 Cavalry]] moved in to capture the areas around Garibpur in [[Pakistani]] territory.<ref name="Mehta" /><ref name="Gidh" /> The battle started by Pakistani troops counterattacking the next day to recapture Garibpur.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Battle of Garibpur {{!}} Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses |url=https://www.idsa.in/jds/the-battle-of-garibpur-vijay-yeshvant-gidh |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=www.idsa.in}}</ref>

==Background==
After months of internal tensions in [[East Pakistan]] (now Bangladesh) and a clampdown on Bengali nationalists, the independence forces had coalesced into the combined [[Mukti Bahini]]. After initial success by Pakistani troops against the Mukti Bahini, there had been some relative calm in the region, and further Indian assistance was sought to turn the tide. India thus started to involve itself deeper into the conflict brewing in the east and stationed its troops near the border.

The Boyra [[salients, re-entrants and pockets|salient]], in north-western East Pakistan, consisted of Garibpur and was at an important crossroads for both nations. Its control was thus vital, as it gave the Indian Army a highway to [[Jessore (city)|Jessore]] from India.

==Capture of Garibpur==
Lieutenant Colonel RK Singh (CO 14 Punjab) had been given the objective of crossing the river west of Garibpur; securing the village; and cutting off the Pakistani 107th Infantry Brigade, which was in the village of Chaugacha, north of Garibpur, from supplies coming from Jessore. Assisting him would be the 102nd Engineer Regiment and "C" Squadron, 45 Cavalry under Major Daljit "Chiefy" Singh Narang. The deadline given to Singh for the objective was 21 November.<ref name="Gidh" />

However, Garibpur and its surroundings were so lightly defended that the Indian units had captured the town by 20 November with no resistance. That morning, despite the success of the larger force, a routine Pakistani patrol bumped into an Indian advance patrol, which gave the Pakistani positions at Chaugacha warning of the Indian attack. Pakistani intelligence, as a Pakistani prisoner-of-war would reveal after the battle, informed the 107th that the Garibpur bridgehead was held by an understrength battalion of light infantry, which could be easily defeated.<ref name="Mehta" /> As such, the 107th began to formulate a counterattack, which would materialise against Indian positions on the morning of the 21st.<ref name="Gidh" />

==Battle==
[[Risaldar]] R.P. Singh of C Squadron, along with a small section of dismounted infantry, was on patrol north of the Indian positions at Garibpur just after midnight. Around 0200 hours, he radioed Captain B.S. Mehta of C Squadron of the advancing Pakistani armour and infantry.<ref name="Mehta" /> After Singh had confirmed the number of vehicles and the direction of approach, Major Daljit "Chiefy" Singh Narang, left behind the infantry of 14 Punjab and some [[M40 recoilless rifle|recoilless rifles]] in a defensive position, and ordered his squadron forward into a horseshoe formation to ambush the Pakistani column.<ref name="Mehta" />

The attack commenced in the early hours of 21 November, with the Pakistani 3rd Independent Armoured Squadron providing covering fire for the infantry attack by 6 and 21 Punjab.<ref name="Mehta" /> The attack was, however, hampered by the fact that India had had time to prepare defenses against the Pakistani infantry and had time to lay an ambush against Pakistani armour. Early in the fighting, Major Narang was killed and the squadron's second-in-command, Captain B.S. Mehta, assumed command for most of the battle. Despite fog reducing the visibility for tank crews on both sides, the Indian PT-76 crews outmaneuvered and outgunned the Pakistani [[M24 Chaffee|M24s]], with the PT-76s destroying 6, damaging 4 beyond repair and capturing 3.<ref name="Mehta" /> Delta Company and Charlie Company of 14 Punjab had set up at the flanks of the Pakistani axis of assault with HMGs and MMGs, and Alpha and Bravo Companies had set up in the center.<ref name="Gidh" /> The Pakistani infantry advance was similarly halted.

In contrast to the Pakistani 3rd (Independent) Armoured Squadron, which was completely destroyed, "C" Squadron suffered only 2 tanks damaged when Major Narang was killed by enemy tank fire and when Captain Mehta's tank was damaged by a [[recoilless rifle]]. There are no concrete numbers for infantry casualties on the Pakistani side, but Colonel Gidh estimates 300 casualties, including dead and wounded. The Indians suffered 28 killed and 42 wounded.<ref name="Gidh" />

===Battle of Boyra===
{{Further|Battle of Boyra}}
The [[Pakistani Army]] had called for help from the [[Pakistan Air Force]], which soon responded with attacks on Indian positions. At around 1500 hours, [[Canadair Sabre|Sabre]]s from the PAF's [[No. 14 Squadron (Pakistan Air Force)|No. 14 Squadron]] flew in to provide [[close air support]] and hit the Indian positions by using machine guns and [[Rocket (weapon)|rocket]] fire.

The [[Indian Air Force]], however, had prepared for such an attack and so mobilised four [[Folland Gnat]]s to intercept. Two Sabres were shot down, and another was damaged after a brief dogfight. The damaged F-86 Sabre managed to fly back home safely. Two of the pilots ejected safely but were captured by the Mukti Bahini and Indian troops and were taken to India as prisoners-of-war.

==Aftermath==
The battle came just weeks before the official start of the war and had an unexpected turn of events. Victory in that battle and others like the [[Battle of Hilli]] ensured that the north of East Pakistan was virtually in the hands of [[Mitro Bahini]], an alliance of the Indian Army and the Mukti Bahini, before war had been declared.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

Athaniparampil Balachandran (Balan) is an ordinary family man, living with his wife Radhika, two children, his younger brother, younger sister and parents, with his father being a locally respected retired [[postmaster]].

Nevertheless, he leads a cheerful life, with the support of his loving family, and is a respected figure locally, earning the name Balettan (Balan, the elder brother).

However, his [[good samaritan|good samaritanism]], amateur interests and carelessness leads to circumstances that leave him deep in debt and he even gets arrested for cheating on false charges. His father bails him out of the problems with his [[Pension fund|pension savings]], and expects Balan to become more responsible towards his family.

One day, an unexpected [[cardiac arrest]] leaves Balan's father in the hospital, and right before his death, he confides to Balan about having another wife and daughter secretly, and asks him to take care of them, without letting the rest of his family or villagers know about the matter.

After his father's death, Balan tries to realign his life between the two families and struggles with it. His family starts suspecting him of having an affair, as he is spotted with his half-sister. Amid the chaos, a stranger named Bhadran comes into Balan's life with sinister intentions, and blackmails him, with an eye on his half-sister.

The '''Indian Order of Merit''' ('''IOM''') was a military and civilian decoration of [[British India]]. It was established in 1837, (General Order of the Governor-General of India, No. 94 of 1 May 1837)<ref name="CMJ">{{cite news |title=Calcutta Monthly Journal and General Register 1837 |page=60}}</ref> although following the [[Partition of India]] in 1947 it was decided to discontinue the award and in 1954 a separate [[Indian honours system]] was developed, to act retrospectively to 1947. For a long period of time the IOM was the highest decoration that a native member of the [[British Indian Army]] could receive and initially it had three divisions. This was changed in 1911 when Indian servicemen became eligible for the [[Victoria Cross]]. A civilian division of the IOM also existed between 1902 and 1939, however, it was only conferred very rarely.

==History==
The medal was first introduced by the [[British East India Company|East India Company]] in 1837, under the name "Order of Merit" and was taken over by the Crown in 1858, following the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]]. The name of the medal was changed in 1902 to avoid confusion with a British Order of the [[Order of Merit|same name]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nam.ac.uk/online-collection/detail.php?acc=1956-02-874-3 |title=Indian Order of Merit Badge of the 1st Class Military Division, 1837-1912. |publisher=National Army Museum |access-date=17 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004011835/http://www.nam.ac.uk/online-collection/detail.php?acc=1956-02-874-3 |archive-date=4 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Indian Order of Merit was the only gallantry medal available to Native soldiers between 1837 and 1907 when the [[Indian Distinguished Service Medal]] was introduced, and when the [[Victoria Cross]] was opened to native soldiers in 1911. Both divisions of the order were removed when India became independent in 1947. Recipients receive the [[post nominal letters]] IOM.

The original object was to "afford personal reward for personal bravery without reference to any claims founded on mere length of service and general good conduct"<ref name=CMJ/>

==The medal==

===Military Division===

The medal was originally introduced with three classes (first, second and third classes), until others [[medals]] were made available to Indian [[soldiers]], at which point it was reduced to two classes (the [[Victoria Cross]] replacing the first class), and reduced to one class in 1944. A recipient technically needed to be in possession of the lower class before being awarded a higher class, although recipients were sometimes awarded the higher class if they performed more than one act of [[Courage|gallantry]], then they may have been awarded the higher class, without receiving the lower one. The recipients of the [[Order (decoration)|order]] received increased pay and pension allowances and were very highly regarded.<ref name=CMJ/>

===Civil Division===

A civil division was available in two classes between 1902 and 1939, when it was reduced to one class. The civil medal was rarely awarded.

==Description==

'''Lakha Banjara Lake''', also known as '''Sagar lake''', is a lake in the center of [[Sagar, Madhya Pradesh|Sagar]] city of [[Sagar District]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], India.<ref>{{cite web | title=Sagar lake | DISTRICT SAGAR, Government of Madhya Pradesh | India | url=https://sagar.nic.in/en/tourist-place/sagarlake/ }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Sagar | the Historic Lake City of Madhya Pradesh | url=https://geocityinfo.com/travel-city/sagar-city-in-madhyapradesh-india }}</ref>

==Location and name==
This lake is popular by this name Lakha Banjara Sagar. This lake has been named Lakha Banjara Sagar Lake in honor of the sacrifice and martyrdom of the great warrior Lakha Banjara. A statue of the 21 feet brave warrior Lakhishah Banjara has also been installed in this lake. Sagar city is situated on the northern, western and eastern banks of this lake. Pathariya hill is in the south, where the university campus is located. Sagar fort is in its north-west. This lake has a great influence on the location and structure of the city. The lake has been the source of drinking water for the city for a long time. <ref>{{cite web | title=Lakha Banjara Lake Rejuvenation and Lake Front Development in Sagar (Madhya Pradesh): Project Updates & Investment Details | IIG | url=https://indiainvestmentgrid.gov.in/opportunities/nip-project/702051 }}</ref>

==Formation==
There is no authentic information available about the origin of Sagar Lake, but many legends are popular.{{fact|date=October 2025}} The most common story among these is about the sacrifice of the daughter-in-law and son of the great hero Lakha Banjara. Experts{{who?|date=October 2025}} believe that it could be a lake formed naturally, which later some king or community might have dug out to make it more useful for the public and given it the shape of a huge lake. But this is only a guess because there is no evidence available for this.{{or-inline|date=October 2025}} When Udanshah built a small fort here in 1660 and established the first settlement at Parkota village, the pond was already present.

There is also a legend that Lakha Banjara sacrificed his daughter-in-law and son for this lake. Lakhishah Banjara was a hero in some Asian countries, who had an independent army and his own empire. He had dedicated his life for the welfare of the people, he was considered as Lokraja. That is why he is popular by the name Lakhishah, Lakhiray. Shah and Rai means king.<ref>{{cite web | title=Chakraghat - Tourist attraction - Sagar - Madhya Pradesh | Yappe.in | url=https://yappe.in/madhya-pradesh/sagar/chakraghat/115421 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Chakraghat: A Spiritual Retreat in Sagar | url=https://evendo.com/locations/india/central-india/attraction/chakraghat }}</ref>

==Tourism==

These include Vrindavan Bagh temple, Vitthal Mandir and Chakra Ghat.{{fact|date=October 2025}} Sagar lake is a natural and historical lake.{{vague|date=October 2025}} The history of Sagar is linked to this lake.{{vague|date=October 2025}}

Mizo honorifics

{{Short description|none}}

{{Use dmy dates|date=May 2025}}
'''Mizo honorifics''' are a function of the [[Mizo language]]. As Mizo is a classifier language, it has honorifics for gender and numerals.{{sfn|Kumar|Lahiri|Saha|Shekhar|1 September 2011|p=4}}

''Pa'' is a honorific referring to father or male.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mizo Structure: Structure of the language |url=http://lisindia.ciil.org/Mizo/Mizo_struct.html |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=Central Institute of Indian Languages}}</ref> ''Pa'' is used to denote masculinity. For example ''Zirtirtu-pa'' refers to a male teacher. ''Nu'' is the honorific for mother or femininity. For example ''Zirtirtu-nu'' refers to a female teacher.{{sfn|Kumar|Lahiri|Saha|Shekhar|1 September 2011|p=4}} Pa would also be used as a hypocorism, for taking on their child's name. In which case, the parent would gain an honorific. A famous example is [[Vana Pa]] (Father of Vana).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vungliana |first=Mordekai V. |date=2017-06-22 |title=Vanapa hun hnuhnung leh than bihchianna |trans-title=Critical study of Vanapa's last days and tomb |url=https://www.vanglaini.org/article/73228?date=2017-06-22 |access-date=2025-04-06 |website=Vanglaini |language=Mizo}}</ref>

'''Pu''' is a Mizo honorific for men. The honorific for women is known as ''Pi''.{{sfn|Rajshekhar|2021|loc=Chapter 1:The State that could not pay salaries}} The compounded phrase ''pi leh pu'' itself refers to ancestors.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lalneihliana |date=2017-10-05 |title=Kan hming phuah/ sak dan leh ziah dan hi |trans-title=Our systems of writing and creating names |url=https://www.vanglaini.org/article/80527?date=2017-10-05 |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=Vanglaini |language=Mizo}}</ref> The honorific can be used in variety of contexts. For example it can be appended as a form of respect towards elders or respected persons.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Chhangte |first=Lalnunthangi |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qJ91NwAACAAJ |title=A Preliminary Grammar of the Mizo Language |date=1986 |publisher=University of Texas at Arlington |pages=80–83 |language=en |oclc=17473784}}</ref> The exception of this honorific is Pi Hmuaki, a poet whose name is synonymous with her honorific rather than Hmuaki.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Biswas |first1=Debajyoti |last2=Pramanik |first2=Pratyusha |last5=Senior Research Fellow; Department of Humanistic Studies, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, India |date=2022-06-07 |title=Resistance and Ungendering: Poetry of Mona Zote and Monalisa Changkija |url=https://rupkatha.com/v14n2ne08/ |journal=Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities |volume=14 |issue=2 |pages=1–12 |doi=10.21659/rupkatha.v14n2.ne08|url-access=subscription |doi-access=free }}</ref>
