[[File:Myanmar Crown Colony Scheme.svg|thumb|Districts proposed for the Crown Colony of Eastern Agency Scheme]]
The '''Crown Colony of Eastern Agency''' also known as the '''Coupland Crown Colony Scheme''' was a proposal to create a [[British Crown Colony]] of the tribal areas of [[northeast India]] and western Burma in the 1930s and 1940s.

==Background==
During the era of the [[British Raj]], the areas of northeast India were politically and economically isolated from the Indian mainland. The [[Inner Line Permit|Inner Line system]] was introduced to safeguard minority indigenous rights and identity in the hill areas of the [[Assam province]].{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=120}} The hill areas of Assam were also classified as 'excluded' or 'partially excluded' areas where it was assumed that the tribal communities would not be able to catch up to the progress of the mainland.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=120}}{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=80}}

==Development==
The proposal for a separate province originated from Nevill Edward Parry.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=77}} Parry had worked as [[List of superintendents of Mizoram|Superintendent of the Lushai Hills]] and deputy commissioner of the Khasi and Garo Hills. Parry forwarded a memorandum to the [[Simon Commission]] in 1930 recommending a proposed scheme to safeguard the future of the tribal populations until they were ready to govern themselves. Parry further pointed out that the Lushai Hills ([[Mizoram]]) had no future industrially.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=121}}

The scheme was supported by [[John Henry Hutton]], the deputy commissioner of the Naga Hills and [[Peter Loren Seton James]], the Political officer of the [[Abor Hills]]. Hutton argued the tribal hill peoples had no cultural, linguistic or historical relationship with Assam.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=77}} The plan began to formulate as a "North Eastern Frontier Protectorate" consisting of the territories of:{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=121}}{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=79}}
{{bulleted list|Khasi and Jaintia Hills ([[Meghalaya]])|Naga Hills ([[Nagaland]])|Lushai Hills ([[Mizoram]])|Tracts of Burma}}

The plan began to undergo consideration and discussion secretly among the colonial administration of Assam. Prominent actors include the two governors of Assam, [[Robert Neil Reid]], [[Andrew Clow]], and their respective advisors [[James Philip Mills]] and Phillip F. Adams.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=122}} The purpose in their proposed plans were for the preservation of culture, languages and traditions and encourage self-administration of their villages.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=122}}

Robert Reid produced the first formal proposal for the Crown Colony Scheme in 1941.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=77}}{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=122}} Reid outlined the strategic importance of the northeast frontier with Tibet, China, Burma and Japan In his note, ''A Note on the Future of the Present Excluded, Partially Excluded and Tribal Areas of Assam'', Reid drew from the developments of Parry and Hutton and described the Indo-Burmese border as "artificial as it was imperceptible".{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=122}}{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=78}} Reid expanded the scope of the territory to extend [[North East Frontier Agency]] and [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]] while also encouraging absorption of Burmese hill territories such as the [[Chin Hills]] and northern Shan States. The [[Kingdom of Manipur]] was also considered. Reid's estimation placed the proposed colony scheme at a population of 2.5 million. Reid argued it was feasible to carry out as the advisors of villages mete disputes and villages are generally self-sufficient and organise projects via collective unpaid labour.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=122}}

The plan would draw funds from the imperial sources. It was also considerate of Burmese tribes to man the administrative institutions such as local army and police with Karens, Shans and Kachins. Reid's plan was forwarded to [[Lord Linlithgow]] and [[Leo Amery|L. S. Amery]] the [[Secretary of State for India]].{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=123}}{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=81}} Amery stated his view that, considering the creation of the state of [[Pakistan]], there will be two Muslim areas, Hindu India and an important primitive hill tribe area.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=81}}

It is argued that Amery's support for the Crown Colony Scheme centred around reserving excluded areas to the British Government similar to his attempts to keep the Indian Princely States out of the Indian Government's future.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=82}}

Amery provided a copy of the plan to Professor [[Reginald Coupland]], who published it in his third and final volume on the constitutional problem in India. Coupland stated in his work that the tribal areas were a "mongoloid block" that belonged neither to India or Burma. It would have been practical for defense purposes to cooperate with India and Burma with the British for the scheme to work.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=82}}{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=123}} This thus gave the scheme the name the "Coupland plan" or "Coupland Crown Colony Scheme".{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=82}}{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=123}} Reid's successor, Andrew Clow, worked with J. P. Mills to update the plan and adjust it accordingly. Mills quoted the examples of [[Bechuanaland Protectorate]] and Swaziland in Africa to protect inhabitants from exploitation and further progress. However, during the discussion of the scheme, disagreements arose regarding whether the Burmese and Indian tribes should be fused into one administrative entity.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=123}}

Governor [[Reginald Dorman-Smith]] of Burma discussed the scheme with his government while in exile from Japanese occupation. When the scheme was dismissed at the fourth meeting, Dorman-Smith continued discussions. He met with Mills the Assam Secretary.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=83}} Dorman-Smith sent R. E. McGuire, Secretary of the Scheduled Areas Department of Burma, to meet with Mills and further discuss the plan. McGuire composed a memorandum and sent it to John Walton of the Burma office to advocate a separate administration for the hill tracts of Burma. McGuire suggested to begin with two agencies one Assam and one Burma before amalgamating them into one entity.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=83}} Reid corroborated with McGuire's suggestions as it would be a convenient policy but insisted on unity of single systems of finance.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=83}}

The Scheme was discussed at the India Office with Amery and [[Lord Wavell]] before he departed England to take the governorship of India. The details of the amalgamation reached a conclusion between Wavell, Dorman-Smith and Amery by late 1944. Wavell met with Dorman Smith in Shimla to discuss the tribal tracts in Burma, Assam and possibly Bengal. Dorman-Smith recommended forming a separate unit administered directly by the Governor-General or the Governor of Burma. However, Wavell later wrote to Amery that the tribal areas belonged to India and it would be difficult to separate them from a treaty arrangement in the '''Cripps Declaration'''.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=83}} Amery corresponded that the territorial matter was of treaty arrangement, not constitutional provinces. Amery's advisor suggested the scheme should be funded by the British government in London and the treaty made by the UK and the provincial agency. Amery suggested instead that the British maintain a mandate-like system in the tribal tracts and, until the people have been consulted, be justifiably transferred to India. Internationally, a purely British occupation would be unjustifiable, so a multinational approach of shared development would be best, according to Amery, in terms of Indian relations.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=84}} Wavell, however, differed with Amery, stating that he could not see the British Government's future in spending large sums and efforts for backwards tribes, nor the Indian Governments in the future willingly accepting British co-rule of the regions. Wavell raised a point that the political nature of the 1930s, in which the scheme was proposed, had changed drastically. To maintain control over the tribal tracts would be unpopularly seen by Indian nationalists as limiting Indian constitutionalism. Wavell stated to Amery in December 1944, the reorganisation of the regions under British or international body rule seemed impracticable.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=85}}

The plan was supported by Northeastern communities. In the Khasi and Jaintia Hills and the Lushai Hills saw particular support for the scheme. Many hill leaders feared the Indian rule will subvert their best interests than remaining under the British.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=123}} The Nagas who had been granted the Naga Hills District Tribal Council in 1945 by Deputy Commissioner Sir Charles Ridley asked to remain within the British Crown with their legislative council.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=124}}

McGuire and Mills held a meeting with Caroe, Wavells' Secretary of External Department, about the possible readjustment of the Assam-Burma frontier and coordination or amalgamation possibilities. The meeting was informal with no commitments of either Assam or Burma being made. McGuire reiterated his stance of a double administration of Assam and Burma instead. Clow's vision within Assam preferred a merger of the tribal territories into Assam than becoming its own entity.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=88}} The India Office recorded on their minute that the aim was to prepare the tribal tracts into a Federal Union with India rather than have a British Indian policy impeding such goals.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=89}} Inspired by the Chief Commissioner system of Baluchistan which had a similar issue of tribal regions and frontier status inspired the case for Assam. However, an official of the India office rebuked this stating that while it could be done it should be done in a proposed treaty with India and that the proposals for a separate territory had come too late.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=89}}

This alternate Chief Commissioner proposal only concerned Assam and ignored the scope of Burmese provinces. By April 1945, Burma was liberated from Japanese occupation and the administration committed to the trusteeship of the British Government for the welfare of the Burma Scheduled Areas and the need of protecting themin development towards self-government. In May the British issued a white paper stating the policy aimed at a voluntary inclusion of tribal people into the structure of Burma. It was done so on the basis that it was not the right time to include all peoples under Burma. Furthermore, the rise of Burmese nationalism in the Japanese resistance made the idea of territorial carving difficult for British officials.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=90}}

==Decline==
After the defeat of [[Winston Churchill]]'s government, Amery was removed from office. This prompted Dorman-Smith to abandon the scheme as he felt it took away the priorities of frontier administration. Some historians argue the scheme was approved by Churchill but vetoed by [[Clement Attlee]]'s government.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=91}} Amery's successor, [[Frederick Pethick-Lawrence, 1st Baron Pethick-Lawrence|Frederick Pethick-Lawrence]], concurred with Wavell's views on the impracticability of the scheme. Indian opinion of the scheme was also unpopular especially considering a co-rule structure would require Indian funds to pay for a region they had no direct control of.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=93}}

Andrew Clow released a memorandum in 1945 titled "Memorandum on the Future Government of Assam Tribal People". The memorandum discussed the demolition of the proposed schemes by citing that the time was not right for such a development.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=124}} Clow stated that political difficulties would plague the territory formed. Furthermore, there would be economic issues as they were a [[landlocked country]] likely to be ignored by both Burma and India and possibly intensify the already primitive economy. There would be a lack of cohesion over the bizzare and difficult geography. Administratively, there would be difficulty securing skilled officers and cadres.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=93}}

{{blockquote|"It seems most unlikely that a British Government which is prepared to set India and Burma on a self-governing footing should now undertake the administrative and financial responsibility for a pawtchwork of sparsely populated hills lying where these hills do. Indian opinion would be equally strongly opposed to the constitution of a foreign territory in its natural borders".|author=[[Andrew Clow]]|source=Memorandum on the Future Government of Assam Tribal People{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=124}}}}

Clow further stated the development of Pakistan's territorial claims were a reason to factor in the decline. The unrestricted immigration from Bengal began to be seen as an attempt to turn Assam into a muslim majority province to incorporate it into [[East Pakistan]]. Clow states that the tribal areas which were part of Assam essentially balanced out the religious demographics.{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=95}}

Reginald Dorman-Smith, the second governor of Burma, also opposed the scheme, citing that "nothing but trouble ahead" would occur in Burma if they attempted to pursue the separate Agency scheme, and for the matter to be officially closed. On 6 May 1946, the Secretary of State for India, in a "Minutes on Backward Track", declared that it had become impracticable to transfer responsibility of the backwards track to any outside authority, whether British or a UN mandate.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=125}}

Other reasons for its decline have been argued due to the influence of the creation of the State of Pakistan, in which the British realised it was bad timing to carve out a protectorate of its own. Many hill leaders began to cooperate with the Indian government in due time as well. Nehru reached out to Reverend [[James Joy Mohan Nichols Roy]] from the Khasi and Jaintia Hills and convinced him to join India.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=125}} In the Lushai Hills, the [[Mizo Union]] opposed the proposal because they opposed the institution of [[Mizo chieftainship]] which they had come to see an anachronistic. A crown colony scheme would only continue the institution.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=125}} The Naga Hills were convinced to join India under the promise of autonomy. The [[Naga National Council]] passed a resolution in June 1946 demanding autonomy and opposing the Crown Colony Scheme. Both Clow and Hydari negotiated with the Nagas with considerable success.{{sfn|Arya|2020|p=125}}{{sfn|Chan|2001|p=95}}

The '''uniforms of the Indian Armed Forces''' currently exist in more than ten categories, ranging from ceremonial uniforms to combat uniforms. While uniforms in the Indian Army are specific to the regiment (or corps) to which a soldier or officer belongs, following the [[British Army]] tradition. The uniforms in the Indian Army show significant differentiation between units and also show regimental distinction.

General officers, i.e. [[Brigadier (India)|Brigadier]] rank officers and above in the army, do not wear a regimental uniform (except when serving in the honorary position of — Colonel of the Regiment); rather, they wear their own ''service uniform''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ANI |date=1 August 2023 |title=Indian Army implements common uniform for Brigadier and above ranks |url=https://risingkashmir.com/indian-army-implements-common-uniform-for-brigadier-and-above-ranks/ |access-date=13 September 2025 |website=Rising Kashmir |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1 August 2023 |title=Senior army officers over the rank of brigadier get common uniform |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indian-army-adopts-new-common-uniform-for-senior-officers-to-enhance-identity-and-unity-in-service-matters-101690897086858.html |access-date=13 September 2025 |website=[[Hindustan Times]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=PTI |date=9 May 2023 |title=Common uniform for brigadiers and above rank officers in Army from August 1 |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/common-uniform-for-brigadiers-and-above-rank-officers-in-army-from-august-1/article66829953.ece |access-date=13 September 2025 |work=[[The Hindu]] |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

*It was in use since about 2008 until phased replacement began around 2022.
*Known as the “disruptive pattern combat uniform” (DPCU), adopting camouflage suited to a variety of terrains.

====Material & Fabric====

*It had heavyweight / thicker fabric, sometimes described as “denim-like” in thickness and weight, making it less comfortable in hot and humid conditions.
*Cotton-polyester blend; not as breathable or quick drying as the newer version.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web |date=18 January 2022 |title=Lighter fabric to unique pattern, here's how NIFT team created Indian Army's new combat uniform |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/indian-army-new-combat-uniform-nift-changes-fabric-pattern-weight-design-7727910/ |access-date=13 September 2025 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

====Camouflage / Pattern====

*Disruptive pattern: not digital/pixelated. Organic or blotchy pattern of olive green, brown, and other earth tones.
*Readily reproducible / more easily available in the market and imitators/copies. Because of that, the newer uniform sought to restrict unregulated copies.

====Design / Style====

*The shirt had to be tucked into trousers.
*No standard combat T-shirt under it as part of the official uniform (or not formalised as in the new uniform).
*Pockets, buttons, and belt style were simpler / less ergonomic. The trousers did not have waist adjustment features like elastic/buttons seen in newer uniforms.

=== Snow Camouflage Uniform ===
[[File:An Indian Army soldier in snow camouflage.jpg|thumb|250x250px|A soldier in ''Snow Camouflage Uniform'' with combat load]]

Snow Camouflage Uniform, also referred to as ''Himkavach'' dress by the Indian Army, is a combat dress designed to withstand the extreme sub-zero cold temperatures at [[Siachen Glacier]], [[Ladakh]], and in the state of [[Sikkim]], where military personnel are deployed year-round. This dress was developed in coordination with [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]], and its working range is reported to be from 20 & nbsp °C to -60 & nbsp °C (68 & nbsp °F to -76 & nbsp °F). <ref>{{Cite web |date=11 January 2025 |title=Indian Army gets 'HimKavach' for extreme cold weather protection: DRDO launches new uniform to keep soldiers warm even at -60°C |url=https://www.bhaskarenglish.in/national/news/indian-army-gets-himkavach-for-extreme-cold-weather-protection-134276518.html |access-date=13 September 2025 |website=Bhaskar English |language=en}}</ref>

This uniform is an overgarment worn over a standard combat or cold-weather uniform, especially in snow-bound terrain. It is mostly white or light in colour, to camouflage with the snowy terrain, sometimes with a reversible or internal white lining. It is part of the [[Extended Cold Weather Clothing System]] (ECWCS), designed for high altitude deployments, along [[Line of Actual Control]] and [[Line of Control]]. The uniform allows layering, breathability, mobility and integrates with other snow gear (boots, gloves, goggles), which is crucial for deployment in such extreme regions, with low atmospheric oxygen and pressure, as low as 42% of available oxygen at sea level, and atmospheric pressure as low as 0.425 [[Standard atmosphere (unit)|atm]] or 322.5 [[Millimetre of mercury|mmHg]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Peacock |first=A.

Muthuraman]] and produced by [[Dhandayuthapani Films]], in their final venture. The film stars [[Rajinikanth]] in dual roles, along with [[Prabhu (actor)|Prabhu]], [[Suhasini Maniratnam|Suhasini]], [[Khushbu Sundar|Khushbu]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] and [[Captain Raju]] in other roles. It is a remake of the 1978 [[Hindi]] film ''[[Kasme Vaade]]''. The film marked the debut of Khushbu in Tamil cinema. It was released on 24 September 1988, and composer [[Ilaiyaraaja]] won the [[Cinema Express Awards|Cinema Express Award for Best Music Director]].

== Plot ==
Balasubramanian alias Balu is an [[Absent-minded professor|absent-minded]] but kind-hearted college professor. He lives with his younger brother Raju, his maternal uncle Rangarajan and his cousin Sumathi, who is also his love interest. Raju, who studies in the same college that Balu works, is short-tempered, rowdyish and a drunkard, spoiled by Balu's and Sumathi's pamperings. He frequently gets into fights with a fellow student Raghupathy, whose father owns the college. Balu fails in several attempts to reform Raju. One night, Balu is accidentally killed when he tries to intervene in one of the fights between Raju and Raghupathy. Before dying, Balu asks Raju to ensure that he can find another person who can marry Sumathi as he does not want her to suffer after his death, to which Raju agrees with a heavy heart. Balu's demise marks a turning point for Raju, who vows never to get angry and drink again. Sumathi, who is devastated at Balu's death, goes into depression, dons the garb of a widow and vows never to marry. To ensure that Sumathi gets over Balu, Raju and Sumathi move to [[Bangalore]], where Raju takes up a job at a garage owned by Devi.

One day, Raju encounters his brother's [[doppelgänger]] Shankar, a rowdy and thief who steals cars daily from the garage. Raju, who still feels guilty over his brother's death, is unable to fight Shankar as he looks like his brother and unsuccessfully tries to develop a bond with him. However, after hearing Raju's and Sumathi's sad story, Shankar undergoes a change of heart and he decides to mend his ways, eventually becoming a police informer. Soon, he falls in love with Sumathi, but Sumathi rebuffs him as she is unable to forget Balu. Meanwhile, Sumathi is kidnapped by a smuggler Bhaskar, for whom Shankar once used to work, in order to force him to smuggle diamonds. Shankar reluctantly agrees to Bhaskar's demand so that Sumathi would be saved, but when Bhaskar refuses to release Sumathi, a fight ensues between Shankar and Raju on one side and Bhaskar on the other side, which ends with Bhaskar's arrest. Sumathi realises her love for Shankar, and the movie ends with the marriages of both Shankar and Sumathi as well as Raju and Devi, with Shankar dressing up like the late Balu for the marriage.

== Production ==
After ''[[Thai Veedu]]'', [[Devar Films]] parted ways with [[Rajinikanth]]. All the subsequent films they produced were flops which resulted in heavy losses. Director [[R. Thyagarajan (director)|R.

They accepted that they are responsible for the issue and there was no mistake on Rajinikanth's side.

== Legacy ==
The first look poster of ''[[Ghajinikanth]]'' (2018) had its lead character in an ethnic attire resembling Balu portrayed by Rajinikanth from ''Dharmathin Thalaivan''. The film was titled ''Ghajinikanth'', because of the forgetful nature of its lead character, besides being a portmanteau of Rajinikanth and ''[[Ghajini (2005 film)|Ghajini]]'' (2005), which also revolves around a forgetful character.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rajendran |first=Gopinath |date=13 December 2017 |title=Arya starrer Ghajinikanth's first look revealed |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/dec/13/arya-starrer-ghajinikanths-first-look-revealed-1725619.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703165619/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/dec/13/arya-starrer-ghajinikanths-first-look-revealed-1725619.html |archive-date=3 July 2022 |access-date=3 July 2022 |website=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Rajendran |first=Gopinath |date=9 April 2018 |title=We managed to get a clean A-certificate: 'Hara Hara Mahadevaki' director Santhosh P Jayakumar |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2018/apr/09/we-managed-to-get-a-clean-a-certificate-hara-hara-mahadevaki-director-santhosh-p--jayakumar-1799236.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703165621/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2018/apr/09/we-managed-to-get-a-clean-a-certificate-hara-hara-mahadevaki-director-santhosh-p--jayakumar-1799236.html |archive-date=3 July 2022 |access-date=3 July 2022 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>

==History==

Ulikkal is located near the [[Vayathur]] village panchayat area and is home to the Bythoor or Baithur (Vayathur) Temple. The ''Bythoorappa (Vayathoorappan) Vayathur Kaliyar Shiva Kshethra'', believed to be over 300 years old, is one of the major temples in the panchayat. It is situated on the banks of the [[Valapattanam River]], about 3 km from the town. The river originates in [[Kodagu district|Kodagu]] and flows through Parikkalam and [[Nuchiyad]] villages.

The Eshwara ([[Shiva]] or Mahadeva) temple at Vayathur, located near the Kodagu border, is an important pilgrimage centre for the [[Kodava people|Kodavas]] of Kodagu. The annual temple festival is jointly celebrated by the Kodavas and the Malayalis in keeping with tradition. Historically, the temple priests from Kodagu were [[Nambudiri|Namboothiri]] Brahmins. Kodagu, which borders [[Kannur district]], lies adjacent to the Ulikkal region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ainmanes (Baithurappa, Vayathur Appa) |url=http://www.ainmanes.com/Puggera1.html |access-date=24 January 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sivakiran |title=Ulikkal Vayathur Kaliyar Temple |date=11 April 2009 |url=http://vayathur-kaliyar-temple-ulikkal.blogspot.in/2009/04/sree-vayathur-kaliyar-shivakshethram.html |publisher=Blogspot |access-date=23 January 2014}}</ref>

According to local folklore, the deities worshipped in Kodagu are of Kerala origin and are believed to have entered Kodagu from Kerala thousands of years ago through [[Vayathur]] (Bythoor), near the present-day border. Historically, Ulikkal was part of the Vayathur region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ainmanes (Kodagu Kalyat) |url=http://www.ainmanes.com/Kalyatanda.html |access-date=24 January 2014}}</ref>

The current ruling party of the panchayat is [[United Democratic Front (Kerala)|UDF]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sec.kerala.gov.in/public/cnstncy/wd/f68c6a26-9454-4a99-b935-2c58088e3a53 |title=Ward list of Ulikkal |website=sec.kerala.gov.in}}</ref>

==Plot==
A large crowd gathers outside the [[Verona Arena]] in [[Italy]] to watch the performance of rockstar Jordan. Despite being mobbed, he storms onto the stage in a fit of rage and starts strumming his guitar.

A flashback reveals the story of Jordan, whose real name is Janardan Jakhar ("JJ"), a [[Jat]] boy from [[Delhi, India|Delhi]]. He is studying at [[Hindu College, Delhi|Hindu College]] and dreams of being a rockstar, for which he is often laughed at by his friends. Khatana, the canteen owner, tells JJ that one thing common among all artists is a life-altering heartbreak. JJ jokingly tells himself that since that hasn't happened yet, he won't be able to reach his idol [[Jim Morrison]]'s status. He watches the dance performance of Heer Kaul, a beautiful girl from [[St. Stephen's College, Delhi|St. Stephen's College]], during a contest, and overhears that she is the "perfect heartbreaking machine." Remembering Khatana's words, he decides to propose to her but suffers humiliation, which he sees as the perfect method for enduring the heartbreak needed for stardom. Over time, he and Heer become good friends, often going on adventures and engaging in risky behaviour.

Heer marries a man named Jai in [[Kashmir]], after which the couple moves to [[Prague]]. During this time, she develops feelings for JJ and coins the nickname "Jordan" for him. JJ finds himself thrown out by his brothers for allegedly stealing family money. He takes refuge for two months in the nearby [[Nizamuddin Dargah]], singing [[qawwali]]s, and then moves into Khatana's home. Ustaad Jameel Khan, a renowned classical musician, hears JJ's singing at the Dargah and prompts Dhingra, the owner of "Platinum Records," to sign him. Sheena, a [[journalist]], interviews JJ and hints to him that Dhingra is sending artists to Prague for a [[Europe]] tour. JJ volunteers to work there in the hopes of reuniting with Heer.

Heer, meanwhile, suffers from continuous health problems. She meets JJ in [[Prague]], and they reconnect, but when he tries to profess his love for her, Heer, being married, spurns him. Despite this, their relationship gets intimate, and Heer feels guilty. As soon as JJ's Prague tours are over, she leaves him. JJ tries to visit her one last time before departing for India but is arrested on trespassing charges filed by Heer's husband. While JJ is being taken away, he sees Heer collapse. Upon being deported back to India, he is overwhelmed by the attention he receives, and clashes with the media and the Indian police, resulting in a jail term. The event garners enough publicity to make Dhingra decide to release JJ's recordings; the album does well, throwing JJ into the limelight.

After being released, JJ terminates his contract with Dhingra, embarks on a countrywide tour, and finally morphs fully into "Jordan," the rockstar he had aspired to be. He turns bitter, arrogant, and lonely as time goes on, but remains a highly popular artist.

Jordan meets Heer's younger sister, Mandy, during one of his concerts, and she asks him to help Heer, who has been diagnosed with [[Aplastic anaemia|bone marrow aplasia.]] Jordan's presence causes Heer to somewhat recover and her blood level to rise. He starts disregarding his musical obligations to spend more time with her, and Khatana, his manager now, asks Heer to persuade Jordan to attend his concerts. Heer does so, and Jordan resumes his tour with his first concert at [[Kangra, Himachal Pradesh]]. Upon returning, Heer's health deteriorates again. She slips into a coma and is discovered to be pregnant with Jordan's child. When Mandy informs Jordan of Heer's condition, he leaves one of his shows midway and goes to her hospital bed. He tries to wake her up, but she remains non-responsive. Jordan realises that she will not survive and goes numb. Heer dies offscreen, leaving Jordan in a permanent state of grief, who finally achieves international stardom like his idol.

The film cuts back to the concert in Verona, and while performing, Jordan sees a vision of a smiling Heer walking towards him. The film ends with a line from the poet [[Rumi]]'s poem that the film began with; translated, it means: "Away, beyond all concepts of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there."

===Casting===
[[Ranbir Kapoor]] plays the male lead of ''Rockstar,'' with whom [[Eros International]] worked previously on ''[[Anjaana Anjaani]]'' (2010). His role of Jordan is loosely based on Imtiaz Ali's [[Jats|Jat]] friend, who lived in a small settlement in [[Pitam Pura]].<ref name="Inspiration">{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Ranbir-s-Rockstar-character-inspired-from-Imtiaz-s-friend/Article1-754165.aspx |title=Ranbir's Rockstar character inspired from Imtiaz's friend |newspaper=Hindustan Times |author=Priyanka Jain |date=6 October 2011 |access-date=6 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111108022004/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Ranbir-s-Rockstar-character-inspired-from-Imtiaz-s-friend/Article1-754165.aspx |archive-date=8 November 2011 }}</ref> He had seen [[Kareena Kapoor]]'s performance in his previous directorial ''[[Jab We Met]]'' (2007) and wanted to cast her in the film. However, the script required some romantic scenes between the leads. As Ranbir and Kareena happened to be cousins, this was touted as a problem. Moreover, the filmmakers did not want to replace Ranbir with any other actor as the character he portrayed was reportedly suitable only for him. They then made a joint decision to replace Kapoor with [[Nargis Fakhri]], after initially approaching [[Sonam Kapoor]] and [[Diana Penty]] for the replacement.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/features/2011/kareena-kapoor-rockstar-ranbir-kapoor-imtiaz-ali-041111.html |title=Imtiaz wanted Kareena Kapoor for Ranbir's Rockstar |publisher=[[Oneindia.in]] |date=4 November 2011 |access-date=6 November 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002101028/http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/features/2011/kareena-kapoor-rockstar-ranbir-kapoor-imtiaz-ali-041111.html |archive-date= 2 October 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100143564&keyword=bollywood&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710233551/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100143564&keyword=bollywood&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 July 2012 |title=Still looking for female lead for 'Rockstar': Imtiaz Ali |publisher=[[NDTV]] |date=10 June 2010 |access-date=19 September 2011 |author=Indo-Asian News Service |author-link = Indo-Asian News Service}}</ref><ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Rockstar-was-offered-to-me-first-Diana-Penty/Article1-893160.aspx Rockstar was offered to me first: Diana Penty] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823070633/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Rockstar-was-offered-to-me-first-Diana-Penty/Article1-893160.aspx |date=23 August 2012 }}.

===Controversy===
Major parts of the song "[[Sadda Haq (song)|Sadda Haq]]" were shot at the [[Norbulingka]] monastery in [[McLeod Ganj]], [[Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh|Dharamsala]] and people waving the free [[Flag of Tibet|Tibet flag]] in the backdrop were shown in the song video. This triggered a dispute between [[Central Board of Film Certification]] and Imtiaz Ali when the Board asked Ali to blur the flag before the film hit theatres, but the director refused to do it. Imtiaz Ali said, "I am not concerned at all. I have been out of India for long and don’t know what is going on, but I don’t see anything controversial in the intention portrayal in the movie. The purpose of the movie is not to make any social message, it is more about personal freedom rather than a geographical issue."<ref>Banerjee, Soumyadipta (Mumbai) [http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_protests-over-tibetan-flag-deletion-in-film-continue_1610793 "Protests over Tibetan flag deletion In film continue"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202004739/http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_protests-over-tibetan-flag-deletion-in-film-continue_1610793 |date= 2 December 2011 }} ''[[Daily News and Analysis]]''. 11 November 2011.

Later an official from the Board stated: "The Censor Board chief explained to them that all the cuts were made by the director voluntarily, and he had the option of appealing to a review board which he didn’t do. There were certain discussions between (Imtiaz) Ali and the Board regarding retaining a kiss between two actors (Kapoor and Fakhri), but there has been no disagreement regarding deleting the flag from the frames." The controversy sparked protests among the [[Tibetan diaspora]] in Dharamsala and [[Chennai]].<ref>PTI (Chennai) [http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_tibetans-in-chennai-protest-against-deletion-of-scenes-in-rockstar_1610634 "Tibetans in Chennai protest against deletion of scenes in Rockstar"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112083042/http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_tibetans-in-chennai-protest-against-deletion-of-scenes-in-rockstar_1610634 |date=12 November 2011 }} ''[[Daily News and Analysis]]''. 10 November 2011.

== Plot ==
{{More plot|date=February 2024}}
Lucy, an American woman, comes to India looking for a surrogate mother to bear her a child. She makes a deal with Yashodha, an impoverished single mother.

Yashodha has an accidental fall when pregnant and the doctors conjecture that there is a risk of the baby being born deformed, leading to Lucy revoking the contract and returning to the United States.

In time, Yashodha delivers a healthy and active boy named Krishna, and everyone calls him "Obama" due to his [[Caucasian race|fair]] skin. Years later, Lucy gets to know about the boy and comes to India to take him with her. But Yashodha, having developed a strong bond with Krishna, refuses to send him back. How Lucy responds to this forms the rest of the story.

== History ==
[[File:Pancheshwar Nath Mahadev Mandir.jpg|thumb|View of the temple from front side]]
Durga Puja is a major festival celebrated in the campus of the temple. The first Durga Puja celebration was held in the year 1952. With the help of ''Mahant Das'' of [[Charaut Math|Choraut Matha]] and the villagers, the idol of ''Maa Duvrijnarayanarga'' was built and the worship of ''[[Durga|Maa Durga]]'' was started according to the rule and regulation of the Hindu rituals. After that, the people's faith and popularity in the Durga Puja celebration continued to increase. In the year 1956, an organisation called as Durga Puja Samiti was constituted by the villagers to organise the Durga Puja celebration with a great pomp. A separate ''Khaparail Bhavan'' was built in the campus to perform the rituals of the Durga Puja. Later the Khaparail Bhavan got destroyed over a long time period. Then in the year 2017, a grand and attractive ''Durga Puja Bhavan'' was again built with the help of the villagers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=मधवापुर में दुर्गापूजा को लेकर तैयारी शरू - Preparations start for Durga Puja in Madhavapur - Bihar Madhubani General News |url=https://www.jagran.com/bihar/madhubani-preparations-start-for-durga-puja-in-madhavapur-22086684.html |access-date=2025-04-12 |website=Jagran |language=hi}}</ref>

==The killings==
According to reports, this incident was triggered by the killing of an auto-rickshaw driver identified as Bilal Ahmed Khan of Gonikhan locality.

'''Dilawar Hussain''' {{audio|Dilawar_Hussain.ogg|pronunciation}} (19 March 1907 – 26 August 1967) was a Pakistani administrator and cricketer. He played for [[India national cricket team]] as a [[Test cricket]]er in the 1930s.<ref name="Bio">{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/28092.html |title=Dilawar Hussain|access-date=15 May 2020 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

Dilawar [[wicket-keeper|kept wicket]] for India in three [[Test cricket|Test]] matches. On his debut, Dilawar was made to open the innings against [[England cricket team|England]] on a green wicket in [[Eden Gardens|Calcutta]] [[English cricket team in India in 1933–34|in 1933-34]]. He was hit on the head by a delivery from [[Morris Nichols]] and retired. He returned with a bandage over his head, and was hit on the thumb by [[Nobby Clark (cricketer)|Nobby Clark]], but top scored with 59. He made 57 in the second innings and is one of the few Test cricketers to top-score in both innings on debut. He had started his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] career making 64 and 112 in his first match. His last appearance came about in the [[Indian cricket team in England in 1936|1936 Indian tour of England]]; Dilawar was studying at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] at the time and joined the team in England.<ref name="Bio"/>

The Indian Test batsman [[Cota Ramaswami]] has painted an exquisite picture of Dilawar:
<blockquote>He was a tall and bulky person with a prominent stomach and invariably played with a clean shaven head without any hat or cap or any kind of headgear. He always wore very loose pants and after batting for a while or keeping wicket for sometime his shirt will be hanging out of the trousers and somebody must tuck it in, now and then. He had a rather ugly and uncouth stance at the wicket as he held his bat very low and bent his body forward so much that his head was practically in line with the top of the wickets. Those who watched him from the on side could only see his prominent hind portion of the body sticking up while the head, bat and the rest of Dilawar Hussain were hardly visible. However, he had a very sound defence and so it was very difficult to get him out. He was the most selfish batsman that I have ever seen.<ref>Quoted in Bose, Mihir, ''A History of Indian Cricket'', Andre Deutsch, 1990</ref></blockquote>

He played first-class cricket in India from 1925 to 1941, with a gap between 1935 and 1938 while he was studying at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]].

Richard Cashman writes that he had an encyclopedic memory which enabled him to recall cricket score sheets at will and was also a "great eater and talker", "who could liven the passing hour with an unbroken monologue on any subject from philosophy ... to the art of seasoning a good curry".<ref>Cashman, Richard, ''Patrons, Players and the Crowd: The Phenomenon of Indian Cricket'', Orient Longman, 1979</ref>

Dilawar was known as "Professor" in his later years. He took a doctorate in Philosophy and was a double [[Master of Arts|MA]] degree holder. He served as the Principal of [[Government College University, Lahore|Government College]] and the [[Oriental College, Lahore|Muslim Anglo-Oriental College]], both in [[Lahore]]. He was a founder member of the [[Pakistan Cricket Board|Cricket Control Board in Pakistan]] and a selector.<ref>''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' 1968, p. 1001.</ref>

==Iconography==
In Shakti tradition, the lotus goddess is exalted thus:<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kinsley |first=David R. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gkCsrfghkZ4C&q=kamalatmika+goddess+purana |title=Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine: The Ten Mahāvidyās |date=1998 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=978-81-208-1522-3 |pages=223 |language=en}}</ref>

I pay obeisance to her who is seated on a lotus in a lotus posture.'

Let Kamalā protect us by her wonderful side-glances that delight the heart of Višňu. She is seated on a lotus, has a smiling face, and with her four hands holds two lotuses and makes the signs of giving favours and granting assurance. Her complexion is like the brightness of lightning. Her breasts are firm and heavy and are decorated with garlands of pearls.

She is resplendent like the rising sun and wears a bright moon disc on her brow. She is adorned with a crown and necklace of jewels. She is bent down due to the weight of her large breasts, and in her hands, she holds two lotuses and two bunches of rice shoots. She has three lotus-like eyes. She wears the kausțubba gem and has a smiling face.}}

The fact that Kamala is associated with elephants has two connotations: Firstly, elephants are harbingers of clouds and rain in Hinduism, thus indicating fertility; Secondly, as a powerful creature, it represents royal authority and divinity. Her relationship with the lotus suggests that she exists in a state of refinement that transcends the material world, and yet is rooted in it.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kinsley |first=David R. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gkCsrfghkZ4C&q=kamalatmika+goddess+purana |title=Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine: The Ten Mahāvidyās |date=1998 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=978-81-208-1522-3 |pages=226 |language=en}}</ref>

== Relationship with Vishnu ==
While [[Lakshmi]] is portrayed as a loving wife to [[Narayana]] and is often depicted as massaging his feet in her submissive role, Kamala is rendered more independent in her role, more candidly performing her duties as the goddess who ushers in bliss and prosperity. While she is still deemed as the beloved of [[Vishnu]], she is less performative of her marital and domestic obligations to him. She is also depicted to be a more fearsome goddess who is to be reckoned in her own right, some of her epithets in Tantric traditions including Bhima (terrible), Kalaratri (black night), and Tamasi (darkness), indicating that she is not reliant on him for his preservation and can fight evil with her own powers. In her Mahavidya context, she is also rarely associated with incarnations of Lakshmi such as [[Sita]], [[Radha]] or [[Rukmini]], though she is identified as two of the [[Matrikas|Saptamatrikas]] who are also forms associated with Vishnu, [[Varahi]], and Vaishnavi.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kinsley |first=David R. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gkCsrfghkZ4C&q=kamalatmika+goddess+purana |title=Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine: The Ten Mahāvidyās |date=1998 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=978-81-208-1522-3 |pages=229–230 |language=en}}</ref> {{Commons category}}

'''Ranchhodbhai Udayaram Dave''' (9 August 1837 – 9 April 1923) was a Gujarati playwright, producer and translator. He is considered the father of modern [[Gujarati theatre]] and plays in [[Gujarati literature]].<ref name="Mukherjee1998">{{cite book|last=Mukherjee|first=Sujit|title=A Dictionary of Indian Literature: Beginnings-1850|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YCJrUfVtZxoC&pg=PA322|year=1998|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=978-81-250-1453-9|page=322}}</ref>

==Biography==
He was born on 9 August 1837 in a [[Khedaval Brahmins|Khedawal Brahmin]] family in [[Mahudha]] near [[Nadiad]] (now in [[Gujarat]], India).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Desai |first=Neera |title=Social Change in Gujarat [A Study of Nineteenth Century Gujarati Society] |publisher=Vora & Co. |year=1978 |pages=441}}</ref> He completed his primary education in Mahudha and moved to Nadiad in 1852 to study in English. He joined Law Class in [[Ahmedabad]] in 1857. He initially worked in Collector Office in Ahmedabad and later joined M/s Lawrence Company in Bombay in 1863 (now [[Mumbai]]) as a representative of Bahechardas Ambaidas, a businessman from Ahmedabad. He also worked as a representative of [[Gondal State|Gondal]], [[Palanpur State|Palanpur]] and [[Idar State|Idar]] states in Bombay. He befriended [[Mansukhram Tripathi]] there. He was awarded Huzoor Assistant by [[Khengarji III]] of [[Cutch State]] and later appointed a minister (Diwan). He retired in 1904. He was the president of [[Gujarati Sahitya Parishad]] in the year 1912 in [[Vadodara]]. He was awarded Dewan Bahadur by British Government in 1915. He died on 9 April 1923 following brief illness of [[brain fever]].<ref name="GSP">{{cite web | title=રણછોડભાઈ દવે (Ranchhodbhai Dave) | website=[[Gujarati Sahitya Parishad]] | url=https://gujaratisahityaparishad.com/prakashan/sarjako/savishesh/Savishesh-Ranchhodbhai-Dave.html | language=gu | accessdate=20 February 2017}}</ref>

His oil painting is placed in the library of Arts & Commerce College at Mahudha.

==Works==
Dave was not happy with the adult-comedy being performed in traditional-folk Gujarati play form called [[Bhavai]]. So he decided to come up with pure and sober Gujarati plays. He had written ten original and four adapted plays from Sanskrit literature. He borrowed from Sanskrit plays and also used mythological themes. He wrote plays on social and moral issues and some of these plays were performed in Bombay by Parsi theatre which caught attention of people. He first published his play ''Jaykumari-Vijay'' (1864) in Gujarati monthly ''[[Buddhiprakash]]'' in serialized manner. It is considered as the first modern love-story of Gujarati. It featured an educated female protagonist. It became very popular in Gujarat. ''Lalita Dukh Darsak'' (1866) is a great example of his themes and his ability to address social reforms in his work. It was about an educated girl marrying an illiterate boy and thus passing through social and emotional trial which at the end result in his death.

'''Shiva Keshavan''' (born 25 August 1981) is an Indian [[Luge|luger]]. A six-time [[Olympic Games|Olympian]], he is the first Indian representative to compete in [[luge]] at the [[Winter Olympic Games]]. He set a new Asian speed record at {{convert|134.3|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} after beating the previous record of {{convert|131.9|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and won a gold medal in the 2011 Asian Luge Cup at [[Nagano (city)|Nagano]] in Japan.

==Career==
Keshavan skied as a child and won the Junior National Ski Championship in 1995 at the age of 14. At the age of 15, he attended a luge camp at his school conducted by world champion [[Günther Lemmerer]].<ref>{{cite web|title=OLYMPICS: NAGANO 1998; Teen-Age Luger Carries All of India|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/03/sports/olympics-nagano-1998-teen-age-luger-carries-all-of-india.html|work=New York Times|date=3 February 1998}}</ref> Keshavan was selected as a promising young athlete and went on to become the youngest person to ever officially qualify for the Olympic Games in luge, attending the [[1998 Winter Olympics|1998 Nagano games]] at the age of 16.

In 2014, Keshavan walked as an [[India at the 2014 Winter Olympics|Independent Olympic Participant]] at the [[2014 Winter Olympics|Winter Olympics]] opening ceremony in [[Sochi]] due to the suspension of the [[Indian Olympic Association]]. However, later on during the Sochi Winter Olympics, Indian Olympic Association made a comeback as a recognized country by the International Olympic Committee resulting in Keshavan competing under the Indian flag.

Beginning in November 2014, Keshavan collaborated with [[Duncan Kennedy (luger)|Duncan Kennedy]] to train for [[2018 Winter Olympics|2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics]]. Duncan acted as Keshavan’s personal coach while leveraging his technical expertise to improve Keshavan’s sled.

Keshavan qualified for his sixth and final Olympics in 2018,<ref name=bhatt>{{cite news|last=Bhatt |first=Gaurav|date=14 January 2018|title=Shiva Keshavan: India's lion in winter|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/sport-others/shiva-keshavan-indias-lion-in-winter-olympics-2018-5023498/|work=[[The Indian Express]]|location=Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India|access-date=14 January 2018}}</ref> where he finished 34th out of 40 athletes in the [[Luge at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men's singles |men's singles]] event.<ref>{{cite web|title=Luge Result Men's Singles|url=https://www.olympic.org/pyeongchang-2018/results/en/luge/result-men-s-singles-fnl-000400-.htm|work=Olympic.org|date=11 February 2018}}</ref>

In 2014 Shiva Keshavan became the founder-president of the Olympians Association of India and is committed to support the Olympic movement in India.

In 2020, Keshavan was appointed as the chief coach and the High-Performance Director of the national luge team by the [[Luge Federation of India]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=PTI |date=2020-08-03 |title=Luge Federation appoints Keshavan as coach and High Performance Director |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/other-sports/luge-federation-appoints-keshavan-as-coach-and-high-performance-director/article32259257.ece |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref>

Shiva now aims at promoting Winter Games in India, and creating an ecosystem to produce more athletes competing at the highest level.

==Training==
In 2002, the Italian luge team offered Keshavan full use of their coaches and training facilities if he competed under the Italian flag, but he did not take the offer, insisting he wanted to continue representing India.<ref name=starry>{{cite web |url= https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/02/01/magazine/winter-olympics-luge-india.html |title= The Lonely, Starry-Eyed Mission of India's Sole Luger |work= New York Times |date=1 February 2018|access-date=1 February 2018}}</ref> "For me the dream was to get the Olympics to my hometown, and that was the only reason I was doing it. To show that we are also here."

Keshavan often speaks in interviews about his struggles to finance his career. Early in his career, he would borrow sleds for his races. After landing in Montreal for the [[2002 Winter Olympics|2002 games]], he hitchhiked to [[Salt Lake City]].<ref name=bhatt /> In 2006, he did not compete for two seasons due to running out of funds.<ref name=starry/> Keshavan gets most of his money from [[crowdfunding]] on the Internet and in the [[2014 Winter Olympics|2014 Sochi games]], his uniform bore the names of 50,000 donors.<ref name=bhatt />

==Personal life==
Keshavan is the son of an Indian father from [[Kerala]] and an [[Italians|Italian]] mother, who met while backpacking in the [[Himalayas]] in the 1970s. His parents run an Italian restaurant in [[Himachal Pradesh]].<ref name=starry/> He was born and brought up in [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh]] and attended [[The Lawrence School, Sanawar]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.india-today.com/ttoday/062000/luge.htm |title= Shiva Keshavan |publisher= india-today.com |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20010224000439/http://www.india-today.com/ttoday/062000/luge.htm |archivedate= 2001-02-24}}</ref> He married [[Namita Agarwal]], a former classmate at school, who is also his sports manager. The couple have a daughter. He studied [[humanities]] and [[political science]] at the [[University of Florence]] and received a Master's degree in [[International relations]] from the [[University of Florence]].

Keshavan spends time promoting the cause of winter sports in India; a grassroots level luge camp was held in India by Keshavan in 2009 for young athletes interested in trying the sport.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://vancouversun.com/sports/2010wintergames/Indian+luger+Shiva+Keshavan+defines+makeshift+2010+Games/2195118/story.html |title= Indian luger Shiva Keshavan defines 'makeshift' for 2010 Games |work= Vancouver Sun |first= Kim |last= Bolan |date= 2009-11-06 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20091110003912/http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/2010wintergames/Indian+luger+Shiva+Keshavan+defines+makeshift+2010+Games/2195118/story.html |archivedate= 2009-11-10}}</ref> Ten were selected to form the Junior National Luge team to train in Japan.

'''Mangalore Lok Sabha constituency''' was one of the [[Lok Sabha]] constituencies in [[Karnataka]] state in southern [[India]]. With the implementation of the [[Electoral boundary delimitation|delimitation]] of parliamentary constituencies in 2008, based on the recommendations of the [[Delimitation Commission of India]] constituted in 2002, this constituency ceased to exist.

=== Arrangement in 1950s ===
Mangalore Lok Sabha Constituency was a part of [[South Kanara (South) Lok Sabha constituency]] of [[Madras State]]. That seat came into existence in 1951 when [[South Canara|South Kanara District]] (comprising present [[Dakshina Kannada District]] of [[Karnataka]] and [[Kasargod]], [[Kanhangad]] Taluks of [[Kerala]]). With the implementation of [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]], it ceased to exist.

[[South Kanara (South) Lok Sabha constituency]] comprised the following six Legislative Assembly segments:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1951/STATISTICALREPORTS_51_MADRAS.pdf|title=Statistical Report on Madras elections, 1951 to the 1st Assembly|publisher=Election Commission of India website|pages=289–292, 294–295|accessdate=18 October 2017}}</ref>
1) Panamangalore (Panemangalore), 2) Mangalore, 3) Kasargod, 4) Hosdurg (Kanhangad), 5 and 6) Two Puttur seats

After [[South Canara|South Kanara District]] of erstwhile [[Madras State]] got merged with [[Mysore State]] in 1956, [[South Kanara (South) Lok Sabha constituency]] ceased to exist and was replaced by Mangalore Lok Sabha constituency. The Parts of Kasargod and Hosdurg (Kanhangad) were merged with [[Kerala]] and became a part of [[Kasaragod Lok Sabha constituency]].

{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2019}}

'''Anthony Firingee''' (1786–1836; {{langx|bn|Antōnī Phiringī}}, {{lit|Anthony the foreigner}}), born as '''Hensman Anthony''', was a [[Bengali language]] [[kavigan]] singer-writer and folk poet of [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] origin known for his works in Bengali [[devotional song]]s in the early part of the 19th century. He was also noted for his performance in literary face-offs known as [[Kavigan]].<ref>{{cite book |author= Kuśa Satyendra |date=2000 |title=Dictionary of Hindu literature |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UcAwrV60cpAC&pg=PA87 |publisher=Sarup & Sons |page=87 |isbn=81-7625-159-3 }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Sansad Bangali Charitavidhan (Bengali)|last=1st Part|publisher=Sahitya Sansad|year=2002|isbn=81-85626-65-0|location=kolkata|pages=73}}</ref>

==Biography==
Born Hensman Anthony, the sobriquet ''[[Firang|Firingee]]'' (though an Indian by birth) was used colloquially as a reference to his Portuguese origins. Although not much is known of his early life, Anthony arrived in Bengal sometime in early 19th century and subsequently came to settle in Farashdanga, in the town of [[Chandannagar]] in West Bengal.

[[File:Firingi Kalibari in Bowbazar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.jpg|thumb|Front view of Firingi Kalibari, in Bowbazar, Kolkata.]]
He married a Hindu [[Brahmin]] widow named Saudamini and was deeply influenced by Bengali culture and language, as well as the Hindu religion. Eventually, Anthony came to learn the language and composed a number of noted religious songs in devotion to the Goddesses [[Kali]] and [[Durga]]. He is noted for his ''[[Agamani Songs]]'', celebrating the return of Goddess Durga to her parents home that marks the Bengali Autumn festival of [[Durga Puja]]. Anthony is also noted for his literary face-offs in [[Kavigan]]s, or Bard's duels, with a number of noted Bengali composers including ''Bhola Moira'', ''Ram Basu'' and ''Thakur Singha''. Anthony also helped construct a temple to Goddess Kali in the [[Bowbazar]] locality of Central [[Calcutta]] known as '[[Firinghi Kalibari]]'. His wife Saudamini was burnt to death, for being a widow and remarrying Anthony, who was a foreigner.<ref name=":0" />
