[[East Bengal Club]] is an Indian [[association football]] club based in [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]], which competes in the top tier of [[Football in India|Indian football]]. The club was formed in August 1920 when the Jorabagan Club's vice-president, Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri, resigned. He did so after the club sent out their starting eleven with the notable exclusion of defender Sailesh Bose, when they were about to face [[Mohun Bagan]] in the Coochbehar Cup semi-final on 28 July 1920. He, along with Raja Manmatha Nath Chaudhuri, Ramesh Chandra Sen and Aurobinda Ghosh, formed East Bengal on 1 August 1920. East Bengal started playing in the [[Calcutta Football League]], 2nd division, in 1921. In 1925, they qualified for the first division for the first time.<ref name="RiseofEastBengal">{{cite web|title=The Rise of East Bengal Club|url=http://eastbengalfootballclub.com/legacy.php|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120818124203/http://eastbengalfootballclub.com/legacy.php|archive-date=18 August 2012|access-date=10 August 2012|work=East Bengal Football Club}}</ref>

Vasudevan was born to A. Sankara Menon and T. Yeshoda Amma on 16 July 1917. At 21, T. E. Vasudevan entered the Kerala film industry as an exhibitor in [[Tripunithura]] in [[Ernakulam District]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-is-his-world/article4904720.ece|title=Cinema is his world|work=The Hindu|date=11 July 2013 |accessdate=22 September 2014}}</ref>

As a pioneering film distributor in Kerala, Vasudevan started a film distribution office, Associated Pictures (P) Ltd. at Tripunithura in 1940. In less than 10 years he had brought to Kerala more than a 1,000 feature films in different languages such as Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Canarese and Sinhalese and became one of the prominent film distributor of the State.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-is-his-world/article4904720.ece|title=Cinema is his world|work=The Hindu|date=11 July 2013 |accessdate=22 September 2014}}</ref>

Vasudevan was the founder member of Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce in 1955 and served as president between 1995 and 96. He was founder president of Malayala Chalachitra Parishad Madras in 1968 and served it in the same capacity for 10 consecutive years. He was founder member of Kerala Film Producers Association at Ernakulam in 1989 and served as its president for four years.

He was a member in the executive committee of South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce at Madras between 1955 and 1980. He was also a member in Raw Film Steering Committee Madras for five years. He worked for five years to compile a history of the Malayalam Film Industry from the period 1928 to 2000, under the auspices of Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce. Kerala State Chalachitra Academy took the responsibility of printing and publishing his work in book form with him and the chairman of the Academy as joint editors. Though the Academy has released a CD Rom including details from his work, the book is yet to be published.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-is-his-world/article4904720.ece|title=Cinema is his world|work=The Hindu|date=11 July 2013 |accessdate=22 September 2014}}</ref>

'''Randaula Khan''', also spelt '''Ranadulla Khan'''<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Ramaswami |first=N.

He governed the southwestern region of the Sultanate from his administrative seat at [[Mirjan Fort|Mirjan]]. He was a key player in the Sultanate's politics, particularly during [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]]-Bijapur conflicts in the early 17th century. He is remembered for leading conquests that expanded Bijapur southwards into the Karnataka region in the mid-17th century.

== Origins ==
Randaula Khan was the son of Farhad Khan and nephew to Khairiyat Khan, both leading African nobles of the [[Bijapur Sultanate]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Sadiq Ali |first=Shanti |title=The African dispersal in the Deccan: from medieval to modern times |date=1996 |publisher=Orient Longman |isbn=978-81-250-0485-1 |location=New Delhi |pages=115–118}}</ref>

== Career ==
Randaula Khan governed the southwestern region of the Bijapur Sultanate as his family's hereditary fief, namely the southern [[Konkan]] region and [[Kanara]]. His administration extended from [[Ratnagiri]] in the west, southwards around [[Portuguese Goa]] to [[Karwar]] and [[Mirjan Fort|Mirjan]]. Mirjan was Randaula Khan's seat of administration. Karwar, [[Rajapur, Maharashtra|Rajapur]], and Mirjan were prosperous ports under his control, and his territory was famous for trade in pepper, silk, betelnut, and saltpeter.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last1=Czekalska |first1=Renata |last2=Kuczkiewicz-Fraś |first2=Agnieszka |date=2021-06-21 |title=From Africans in India to African Indians |url=https://journals.akademicka.pl/politeja/article/view/2175 |journal=Politeja |volume=13 |issue=3 (42) |pages=204–205 |doi=10.12797/Politeja.13.2016.42.12 |issn=2391-6737|doi-access=free }}</ref> Scholar Subah Dayal writes that Randaula Khan and his kin held a monopoly over gun trade around the area of Rajapur. A [[Firman|''farman'']] (imperial decree) from 1641 also indicates that Randaula Khan operated trade ships that travelled between the ports of [[Chaul]] and [[Dabhol]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dayal |first=Subah |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8SgnEQAAQBAJ&dq=randaula+khan&pg=PA223 |title=Between Household and State: The Mughal Frontier and the Politics of Circulation in Peninsular India |date=2024-12-24 |publisher=Univ of California Press |isbn=978-0-520-40236-2 |pages=82–83 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Court politics and Mughal imperialism ===
Randaula Khan played a key role in court politics in the years after [[Mohammed Adil Shah, Sultan of Bijapur|Mohammad Adil Shah]] ascended Bijapur's throne in 1627. The accession caused factionalism, in which the nobles Khawas Khan and Mustafa Khan emerged as rivals. The two mainly differed in their foreign policy; Mustafa Khan had sympathies for the [[Mughal Empire]] that had been actively reducing the [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate|Nizam Shahi kingdom]] under the rule of [[Mughal emperor]] [[Shah Jahan]], while Khawas Khan and his faction were anti-Mughal, fearing that Mughal imperialism would soon take over Bijapur itself if encouraged. Randaula Khan was a follower of Mustafa Khan, and while Mohammad Adil Shah initially carried out an alliance with the Mughals over the Nizam Shahis demise, the Mughals soon upset Bijapur by taking control of Dharpur, which caused the sultan to switch to an anti-Mughal policy and ally with the Nizam Shahis to combat the Mughals.<ref name=":4" /> Around 1633, Randaula Khan was able to convince [[Fath Khan]], ruler of the Nizam Shahi Sultanate, to oppose the Mughals; this led to the [[Siege of Daulatabad (1633)]]. Randaula Khan participated in this siege alongside [[Shahji Bhonsle]], disrupting Mughal efforts to capture the Nizam Shahi fort of [[Daulatabad Fort|Daulatabad]] by leading skirmishes upon the Mughal forces, disrupting communication lines, and smuggling supplies to aid the fort's garrison. These efforts failed and the Mughals won the fort, which led to the extinction of the Nizam Shahi kingdom.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Radhey |first=Shyam |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5C4hBqKdkEsC |title=The Kingdom of Ahmadnagar |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass |year=1966 |isbn=978-81-208-2651-9 |edition=1 |pages=312–321 |language=}}</ref> Randaula Khan was also deputed to aid Shahji in attacking the Mughals' conquests in the former Nizam Shahi kingdom, in order to distract the Mughals from the [[Siege of Parenda (1634)]]. Military pressure from Shah Jahan led to Bijapur deserting its policy of harassing the Mughals around 1635, and Shahji was abandoned in his exploits. Randaula Khan was deputed to ally with the Mughals in stopping Shahji; him and Mughal general Khan Zaman besieged Shahji at the fort of Mahuli, where Shahji surrendered and entered Bijapur's service.<ref name=":4" />

Around this time, factionalism in the court of Bijapur grew, and Randaula Khan led the charge in carrying out the assassination of Khawas Khan, leading to Mustafa Khan becoming the leading noble. In 1636, Bijapur accepted a deed of submission with the Mughals after further military pressure from the latter; this secured peace with the Mughal Empire, and allowed Bijapur to retain political independence for the near future.<ref name=":4" />

=== Southwards expansion ===
In 1638, Randaula Khan was made commander-in-chief of the Bijapur armies deputed by Mohammad Adil Shah to undertake expeditions in the south. He was entitled 'Khan-i-Zaman',<ref name=":42">{{Cite book |last=Sadiq Ali |first=Shanti |title=The African dispersal in the Deccan: from medieval to modern times |date=1996 |publisher=Orient Longman |isbn=978-81-250-0485-1 |location=New Delhi |pages=118–123}}</ref> and was also known by the title 'Rustam-i-Zaman'.<ref name=":2" /> He was assisted by another influential African of Bijapur, Siddi Reihan, in his exploits. His initial expedition involved conquering [[Ikkeri]] and [[Bednur]] from [[Nayakas of Keladi|Virabhadra Nayaka]]. Subsequently, he turned eastwards on the sultan's orders and advanced on [[Adoni]] and [[Tadipatri|Tarpatri]] - however, he was dissuaded by local ruler Keng Nayak, who convinced him that the town of [[Bangalore]] would be a more lucrative target. Keng Nayak asked for the principality of [[Sira, Karnataka|Sera]], ruled by [[Nayakas of Chitradurga|Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka]], in return; Randaula Khan deputed [[Afzal Khan (general)|Afzal Khan]] who conquered [[Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka Fort|its fort]]. This was handed over to Keng Nayak. Randaula Khan headed towards Bangalore and conquered the town from its ruler [[Kempe Gowda I|Kempe Gowda]] in three days. Randaula Khan instated [[Shahji Bhonsle]] as the governor of the conquered territory.<ref name=":42" />

Randaula Khan then headed southwards with Shahji and led a campaign against [[Kanthirava Narasaraja I|Kantiraya Narasa Raja]], ruler of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]]. After pressuring the ruler with a month-long siege, the latter submitted and offered tribute to Randaula Khan in return for keeping the fort of Mysore. Subsequent to this victory however, former Bijapur vassal Keng Nayak deserted and fortified himself in Basavapattan. Randaula Khan pursued the latter, defeated him, arrested him, and shortly after killed him; this encouraged several local ''[[Nayak (title)|nayaks]]'' (chieftains) of Karnataka to submit to Bijapur's authority. Randaula Khan subsequently brought a number of local ''[[raja]]s'' (chieftains) under Bijapur's control through the armed assault of Afzal Khan, conquering [[Chiknayakanhalli]], [[Belur, Karnataka|Belur]], [[Tumkur]], Belapur, and [[Kunigal]]. Following these victories, Randaula Khan returned to Bijapur.<ref name=":42" />

In 1643, armed expedition into the south was renewed and Randaula Khan successfully besieged the fort of Tikri. He then returned to Bijapur again, and died the same year. He is buried in a mausoleum in [[Rahimatpur]].<ref name=":42" /> Randaula Khan's military exploits were part of the Bijapur Sultanate's expansion into the region of Karnataka in the period 1637–1645, wherein former territories and successor states of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] fell under Bijapur's control. Randaula Khan was the leading example of successful generals involved in this effort.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Michell |first=George |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W6bphUvvPf4C |title=Architecture and Art of Southern India: Vijayanagara and the Successor States 1350-1750 |date=1995-08-17 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-44110-0 |pages=18 |language=en}}</ref>

==Plot==
Adi ([[Krishna (Kannada actor)|Darling Krishna]]), a [[software engineer]], rescues Aditi (Rachana Indar) from goons. He then agrees to drop her home as he too is going to her hometown [[Udupi]]. During the journey Aditi asks Adi about his romantic history. He responds by telling her about his past, from the high school to the present.

The film flashes back to Adi's high school years, where he had a crush on a girl from his tuition, Reema (Vibha Kallianpur). His friend approaches her, but she rejects Adi, as her parents had a failed marriage. When he moved on to the engineering college, he met Joshita "Jo" ([[Amrutha Iyengar]]). She is from a well-to-do family, and even though she truly loved Adi, she had doubts about his financial ability to provide her with the lifestyle she desired. Determined to quell her doubts, Adi joins an [[IT company]] after completing school. Despite this, Jo breaks up with him due to parental pressure and his low income.

Meanwhile Adi meets Nidhima "Nidhi" ([[Milana Nagaraj]]), a fellow software employee and a down-to-earth woman, at his workplace. After Adi is left heartbroken by Jo, his friends Vijay and Sushma set him up with Nidhi. Adi and Nidhi formed a happy couple, and Nidhi's warm nature and love changed Adi. After Jo tries to be back with Adi on her birthday, Adi realise his love for Nidhi. Adi and Nidhi get married and lead a happy, peaceful life. Then Nidhi becomes pregnant. Unfortunately, Nidhi suffers a miscarriage and loses her baby, ultimately being diagnosed with [[ovarian cancer]]. Nidhi eventually succumbs to the cancer, despite Adi's hopes that she will survive, leaving him devastated.

In the present time, Adi shows Nidhi's grave to Aditi, and the film ends with Adi driving Aditi home.

She was also a freedom fighter who, along with Chandrawati Devi, was arrested in 1947 for celebrating the Indian independence movement in Patna.
Her Birth Place
While the exact location of her birth isn't widely documented, records indicate her marriage took place at Dalan Chhapra Village in the Ballia district. Her family had ties to Arrah and Ballia.

== First Lady Of India==
Her Term as First Lady Rajvanshi Devi served as the First Lady of India from January 26, 1950, to May 12, 1962, coinciding with her husband's presidency. Unlike her husband, she maintained a very low profile during his tenure and generally avoided public events.

== Plot ==

Shoaib, a taxi driver, is living with his aged mother, who has a medical condition that makes her forget many things, from time to time, trivial and non-trivial, including the fact that her own husband (Shoaib's father) has died. Though he is not actually friends with, he is acquainted with a local gangster called Manya who knows Shoaib and his mother well.

Manya, who works under a notorious woman-gangster known as "Acid Tai" due to her propensity to use acid as a weapon against anyone including the innocent, as needed.

One night Manya has a chat with Shoaib in his taxi and leaves a jacket with him. Shoaib keeps the jacket at his home and goes to meet his girlfriend Lucky, a waitress at the Bombay Coffee House. Shoaib is rudely woken up with a call saying that a fire broke out at his home. He rushes home and saves his mother. His mother cries in his arms saying that she accidentally caused the fire in her kitchen.

Later, he gets a call from Manya and is jolted when Manya wants his jacket back, because he can no longer find it. He would later learn from Manya, to his shock and horror that the jacket contained drugs worth Rs. 20 Lakhs. He checks everywhere but could not find it and panic sets in. The fire accident only made things worse.

Manya threatens him to return him the jacket at any cost, failing which would kill his mother. He also fears for the life of his girlfriend now. He picks up Lucky from her Café and during the ride, discovers an eight-year-old boy with her. Lucky hesitatingly informs him that a customer named Aakash had left him until he returns.

Meanwhile another side story happening in parallel is revealed. Akash, a pilot, lives with his wife Tara and son Parth. One day while dropping his son to school, he discovers his wife with another man and starts following her. She, along with her presumed boyfriend, checks into The Plaza hotel. Akash, who is in his own panic mode, having seen an illicit affair by his wife with his own eyes, leaves his son with Lucky, the waitress at the cafe and begs her to take care of him for an unspecified amount of time and rushes to the hotel to catch her red-handed. He breaks into her room, and they have a verbal argument. Tara informs him that it is over between them and she is going to marry Javed, the man she is with in the hotel. Dejected and angry, he returns to Bombay Coffee House and learns that Lucky along with his son is missing. Aakash and Tara, assume that she has kidnapped their son.

Meanwhile, Manya and "Acid Tai" start threatening that they would kill Lucky and Shoaib's mother. Shoaib, in a moment of desperation, tries to save them by showing Parth whose rich parent can be asked to the pay some ransom. His hope is that he has compensated them for the loss of jacket. But "Acid Tai" and gang make Shoaib make a ransom phone call Rs 2 crores from the boy's parents. Though Shoaib finds it repulsive to ask for such a big amount, he is now inadvertently part of a kidnap plot in-progress.

The story takes dramatic twists and turns where the jacket is eventually found, but even after it was returned, the evil gang refuses to call off the ransom demand and return the kid to safety. Officer Waghmare, who was assigned to help Aakash and Tara also ends up being corrupt and is making his own personal side-plot to take the cash.

In the climax, Akash is asked to go to the carnival, a very crowded place with multiple rides and thousands of people, where he is supposed to drop off the duffel bag of cash. Three different gangs are looking to capture the loot, namely, the same bag of cash, not even knowing which gang is fighting whom. Multiple phone calls happen between multiple parties involved in the sinister plot. Akash is redirected to multiple spots in the crowded carnival, multiple confusing verbal directions eventually end up in a big gunfight in which gangs are killed by one another. In a dramatic finale, Akash tearfully believes that his son was also killed by Waghmare, in spite of him handing over the cash and in a blind rage, picks up a gun nearby and kills the last remaining bad guy, Waghmare. The story ends on a good note where the tearful dad is reunited with his son by Shoaib who kept him safe throughout the gun fight.

[[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and said that "The execution of this film sticks to the over-familiar lane populated by smart-talking goons, mothers doused in misery, overwrought wives and girl-friends, corrupt cops, ransom calls and shoot-outs."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gupta |first1=Shubhra |title=Visfot movie review: Fardeen Khan, Riteish Deshmukh deliver been-there, seen-it film |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/visfot-movie-review-fardeen-khan-riteish-deshmukh-deliver-been-there-seen-it-film-9553547/ |website=[[The Indian Express]] |date=6 September 2024}}</ref>
A critic from ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "''Visfot'' has its share of engaging and tense moments and some fine performances.

Rishabh Suri of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' stated in his review that "Kookie Gulati's drama, ends up as a whimper instead of a banging time at the movies."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Suri |first1=Rishabh |title=Visfot movie review: Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan's drama implodes with done-to-death story |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/visfot-movie-review-riteish-deshmukh-fardeen-khan-drama-implodes-with-done-to-death-story-101725690813633.html |website=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=6 September 2024}}</ref>
Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated 2.5 stars out of 5 and said "Visfot struggles with uneven pacing and a diluted climax, its strong performances and chaotic, tension-filled narrative offer enough thrills to keep viewers engaged.

Silk peptides

2026-03-21T20:05:29Z

Eldarmrk: Adding basic entry basic info

{{Short description|Natural water-soluble glycoprotein}}
{{cs1 config|name-list-style=vanc|display-authors=6}}
'''Silk peptides''', also known as '''silk amino acids''' (SAAs), are a water-soluble mixture of short to medium chain [[peptide]]s and [[glycoprotein]]s derived from hydrolysis of raw [[silk]]. They are used as an additive in skin and hair care products due to their high levels of [[serine]] which has excellent moisture preservation characteristics. They are used to provide a protective barrier and silky feel to [[lotion]]s, [[soap]]s, [[personal lubricant]]s, [[shampoo|hair]] and [[skincare]] products. Silk peptides are produced by [[Hydrolysis|hydrolyzing]] (or breaking apart) silk [[protein]]s into smaller [[peptide]] chains. Silk peptides have a lower molecular weight than silk protein powders and are claimed to be moisturizing to skin and hair.

==Composition==
Silk is made up of two primary proteins; a fibrous protein known as [[fibroin]], and a sticky protein known as [[sericin]], with the two comprising 70–80% and 20–30% of silk, respectively. The source of these silk amino acids is typically the [[Cocoon (silk)|cocoons]] of the [[domestic silk moth]], ''Bombyx mori'', although [[List_of_animals_that_produce_silk|other sources]] are known. Silk peptides are produced by acid hydrolysis of silk followed by neutralization of excess acid, filtration, and further processing steps to remove salts and other impurities followed by freeze drying.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Oh HJ, Jin H, Lee JY, Lee BY | title = Silk Peptide Ameliorates Sarcopenia through the Regulation of Akt/mTOR/FoxO3a Signaling Pathways and the Inhibition of Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation in Aged Mice | journal = Cells | volume = 12 | issue = 18 | pages = 2257 | date = September 2023 | pmid = 37759480 | doi = 10.3390/cells12182257 | doi-access = free }}</ref> The resultant product contains a mixture of peptides typically between 2 and 20 amino acids in length, with a major component being the 18 amino acid fragment '''GAGAGSGAGAGSGAGAGS''' comprising three repeat units of the β‑sheet motif Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ser derived from the repetitive crystalline domain of silk fibroin protein.

'''''Kalikapur Rajbari''''' also called '''''Saat Mahala Bari''''' ({{translation|সাত মহলা বাড়ি}}) is a large historic mansion with seven parts. It is a heritage palace in Kalikapur, in [[Purba Bardhaman district|Purba Burdhaman]] district. Kalikapur is about 175 km northwest of Kolkata and near [[Santiniketan]], [[West Bengal]], India. The palace built in 1819, is actually an addition to a palace built in the next village of Maukhira (just 10 minutes away), which still exists. The palace/mansion in Kalikapur was built by Sadgope [[Zamindar]] Paramananda Roy, who built the seven mansions for all his seven sons along with a Durgadalan and a Nat Mandir.

This joint mansion is referred to, in the local dialect as ''Saat Mahala Bari'' ("mansion with seven parts"). These seven mansions were connected to each other via a long corridor.<ref>{{Cite web |title=KALIKAPUR RAJBARI|url=https://www.chandnijaltungi.com/kalikapur-rajbari/|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=en}}</ref> Though many say the palace is over 350 years old, foundation stones and other research confirm it was built in 1819.<ref>{{Cite web |title=বর্ধমান : ইতিহাস ও সংস্কৃতি [খণ্ড-৩]-Bardhaman Itihas O Sanskriti [Vol. 3]|url=https://granthagara.com/boi/332820-bardhaman-itihas-o-sanskriti-vol-3-by-jagyeswar-chowdhuri/|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref>

==History==
{{Bengal Zamindars series}}
The Kalikapur Rajbari was commissioned by Sadgope Zamindar Paramananda Roy, a minister of the then King of Bardhaman and a zamindar. He built the seven mansions for his seven sons along with a Durgadalan and a Nat Mandir. Parmananada Roy first came to Maukhira from [[Guskara]] town of [[Birbhum]] district and established a [[zamindari]]. The Maukhira village is four km or just a ten-minute drive north of Kalikapur. As the family grew and because of regular troubles he faced due to annual monsoon floods in Maukhira, he shifted to elevated grounds at Kalikapur, where he built the Kalikapur Rajbari that was completed in 1819. The Maukhira mansion still exists.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Make a day-long date with Burdwan's Kalikapur|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/places/a-visit-to-burdwans-kalikapur-its-several-temples-and-kalikapur-rajbari-all-near-bolpur-santineketan/cid/1850685#goog_rewarded|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=A visit to Kalikapur Rajbari|date=February 2023 |url=https://hive.blog/travel/@rishi2184/a-visit-to-kalikapur-rajbari|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=বর্ধমানের চারশো বছরের পুরনো রাজবাড়িতে কাজল, কী এর ইতিহাস?|url=https://www.sangbadpratidin.in/entertainment/cinema/kajol-shooting-at-kalikapur-rajbari-of-bengal-see-pics/|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref>

==Current status and highlights==
The palace is built over 20 bigha of land. Currently, only two out of the seven sections of the massive palace are in a liveable condition, and only one descendant of the Roy family lives in this mansion, as a caretaker. Currently the Roy family has over 150 members who congregate from various parts of India during [[Durga Puja]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Make a day-long date with Burdwan's Kalikapur|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/places/a-visit-to-burdwans-kalikapur-its-several-temples-and-kalikapur-rajbari-all-near-bolpur-santineketan/cid/1850685#goog_rewarded|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=আউশগ্রামের কালিকাপুর রাজবাড়ির পুজোর ঐতিহ্য ৪০০ বছরের, সিনেমাপ্রেমীদের কাছে কেন জনপ্রিয়?|date=2 September 2025 |url=https://eisamay.com/pujor-samay/banglar-pujo/aushgram-kalikapur-rajbari-durgapuja-is-400-years-old-why-cinema-lovers-love-this/200422058.cms|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref> Besides the five sections of palace ruins that are a tourist attraction, there are two Shiva temples Parameshwar and Hanseshwar, built just outside the mansion; where regular worship of deities is performed. The highlight of these two temples is the use of exquisite terracotta artwork. These two temples were also built by Zamindar Paramananda Roy in 1839, which is mentioned in the temple foundation stones. Kalikapur Rajbari complex starts with the courtyard, which has the Natmandir. On the left is Durgadalan, where every year Durga Puja is performed by the Roy family. This Durga Puja is one of the most famous durga pujas of the district, which is also known as "seven brothers puja ({{translation|সাত ভাইয়ের পুজো}})". Regularly celebrities from Kolkata throng the durga puja of Kalikapur Rajbari.<ref>{{Cite web |title=পুজোর চারদিন কালিকাপুর রাজবাড়ি যেন 'টলিউড'|url=https://bartamanpatrika.com/index.php/news/kalikapur-rajbari-is-like-tollywood-for-four-days-of-puja|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Durga Puja Travel- ৪০০ বছর পুরনো সাত ভাইয়ের পুজো দেখতে চান? চলে আসুন কালিকাপুর রাজবাড়িতে|date=22 September 2022 |url=https://bangla.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/know-the-historical-value-of-budwans-kalikapur-rajbari-durga-puja-31663821409179.html|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}{{dead link|date=February 2026|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

Durga puja in the mansion is also a tourist attraction. During durga puja, numerous traditions that were started when Kalikapur Rajbari was built continue to this day. Highlight of the Durgadalan is the [[stucco]] decoration. There is also a modern temple where daily puja is performed. The location makes the palace an ideal location for [[photoshoot]] by tourists. Another highlight is a life-size stucco face of a woman on a false window on its outer wall of one of the abandoned mahals/mansions. On a rainy day, the face referred to as ‘Batayanbartini’ or ‘The lady at the window’ ({{translation|বাতায়নবার্তিনী}}) looks realistic, giving an eerie feeling.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Make a day-long date with Burdwan's Kalikapur|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/places/a-visit-to-burdwans-kalikapur-its-several-temples-and-kalikapur-rajbari-all-near-bolpur-santineketan/cid/1850685#goog_rewarded|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=পুজোর চারদিন কালিকাপুর রাজবাড়ি যেন 'টলিউড'|url=https://bartamanpatrika.com/index.php/news/kalikapur-rajbari-is-like-tollywood-for-four-days-of-puja|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=দুর্গাপুজোর ১৩ দিন আগে বোধন! ৩৫০ বছরের প্রাচীন পূর্ব বর্ধমানের কালিকাপুর রাজবাড়িতে|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/video/350-year-old-durga-puja-of-kalikapur-rajbari-still-holds-the-same-spirit-dgtld/cid/1373228#goog_rewarded|access-date=2025-10-27 |language=bangla}}</ref>

==Films shot at the palace==

== Production ==

=== Development ===
In late 2018, [[List of Netflix India originals|Netflix India]] and [[Ronnie Screwvala]] of [[RSVP Movies]] approached screenwriter [[Gazal Dhaliwal]] to adapt [[Sandhya Menon]]'s 2017 novel ''[[When Dimple Met Rishi]]'' for Indian audiences.<ref name=":0" /> The original novel is about two [[Indo-american|Indo-American]] teenagers, Dimple and Rishi (the titular characters), whose parents are trying to arrange their marriage.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|title=Micro review: When Dimple Met Rishi is a refreshing YA romance|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/books/reviews/micro-review-when-dimple-met-rishi-is-a-refreshing-ya-romance/articleshow/60016304.cms|access-date=2021-01-24|website=The Times of India|date=11 August 2017 |language=en}}</ref> Published by [[Hachette Book Group]], it opened to good response from readers, and became a best selling novel, according to a report from ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]''.<ref name=":3" /> Netflix picked Akarsh Khurana (of ''[[Karwaan]]'' fame)<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-11-19|first=Shaheen|last=Parkar|title=Mismatched director Akarsh Khurana: Picked up new lingo from them|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/mismatched-director-akarsh-khurana-picked-up-new-lingo-from-them/23095305|access-date=2020-11-19|website=mid-day|language=en}}</ref> and [[Nipun Dharmadhikari|Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari]] to direct the series.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|date=2020-11-24|title=Director Akarsh Khurana, writer Gazal Dhaliwal discuss Netflix's Mismatched and adapting a popular book to screen|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/director-akarsh-khurana-writer-gazal-dhaliwal-discuss-netflixs-mismatched-and-adapting-a-popular-book-to-screen-9044911.html|access-date=2021-01-24|website=Firstpost}}</ref>

Dhaliwal had already finished writing the script before Khurana was roped in to helm the series. Khurana approved of the new script as - 'it was a love-story between two real people with real issues'. He added, "Even though this was essentially a young adult romance, there was maturity in the way it was depicted. Dhaliwal, who counts ''[[Kuch Kuch Hota Hai]]'' as one of her guilty pleasures, was similarly drawn in by the simplicity of the high-school romance at the heart of the book, a contrast to the large-scale candyfloss high school universe depicted in Hindi films."<ref name=":4" />

=== Casting ===
In a ''[[Firstpost]]'' interview, Dhaliawal stated about the casting and characters, syncing to the adaptation and the liberties while recalibrating the story to the Indian context. She added, "The story is about a setup which has gone horribly wrong. To make that happen, it was important to change the family dynamics. Akarsh and I felt very strongly about the fact that it wouldn't have been believable for Indian viewers if Rishi's parents were behind him to start looking out for girls when he's all of 18 so that he can get married in two years. So I introduced a grandmother in the mix (her character is not featured in the book), effectively using the older generation's adherence to tradition as justification for the arranged marriage setup. I also played around with Rishi's dynamics with his parents as well: In the book, Rishi's parents, who belong to a typical [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] family, are still together and Rishi is built to be more obedient than hopeless romantic."<ref name=":4" />

=== Characters ===
[[Prajakta Koli]] and [[Rohit Saraf]] were cast in the series, marking the debut for the former.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-11-19|title=Prajakti Koli, Rohit Saraf on Netflix series Mismatched and bringing gravitas to the young adult genre|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/prajakti-koli-rohit-saraf-on-netflix-series-mismatched-and-bringing-gravitas-to-the-young-adult-genre-9030521.html|access-date=2021-01-24|website=Firstpost}}</ref> In an interview, Saraf stated, "The biggest selling point for him about the show was the 'romance' it has. The love, ambition, navigating through the college years of one's life and a kind of acceptance toward all that I going on in the life was something I found very relatable."{{citation needed|date=November 2021}} Koli described her character Dimple, "She's very driven to achieve her goal; if she doesn't, her parents will get her married! Isn't that relatable to so many girls —and boys — across the country? I have so many cousins in my family who are dealing with this dilemma. That's why Dimple is so tough to crack; she doesn't let her guard down at all."<ref>{{Cite news|last=Sunder|first=Gautam|date=2020-11-20|title=The 'Mismatched' couple: Rohit Saraf and Prajakta Koli on their new Netflix rom-com|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/the-mismatched-couple-rohit-saraf-and-prajakta-koli-on-their-new-netflix-rom-com/article33139564.ece|access-date=2021-01-24|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> [[Rannvijay Singha]] stated his character as being "cool and snarky on the outside but a softie inside, Professor Sid (himself) believes in tough love when it comes to his students". Speaking about his role, he further added that his character wants to push students out of their comfort zones so that they can each reach their highest potential.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

=== Filming ===
While the book is set in the [[United States]],{{citation needed|date=November 2021}} the story was adapted to take place in [[Jaipur]]. About the setting, Khurana stated in an interview to Poulomi Das of ''[[Firstpost]]'', that "When I initially read Gazal's take on the book, what I loved was that she altered the context for the love story at the centre of the proceedings and introduced a host of new characters who had very distinct characteristics which made the world building so much more interesting."<ref name=":4" />

Shooting of the series took place in November 2019, with some portions being filmed Old Royal School of [[Jodhpur]],<ref>{{Cite web|last=Radhakrishnan|first=Manjusha|date=November 23, 2020|title=Indian Netflix show 'Mismatched' explores young love and arranged marriage|url=https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/bollywood/indian-netflix-show-mismatched-explores-young-love-and-arranged-marriage-1.75448526|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-25|website=gulfnews.com|language=en}}</ref> and majority of the scenes were filmed in [[Jaipur]].

== Plot ==
The film deals with the relationship between twin sisters Vaishnavi "Vaishu" (Arohi Radhakrishnan) and Aishwarya "Aishu (Anika Radhakrishnan). Vaishu, the elder sister, is good at studies, while Aishwarya is the exact opposite. Shiva ([[Amzath Khan]]) raises his daughters single-handedly in [[Ooty]]. The director has made subtle references to the fact that Shiva is slightly fonder of Aishu because she reflects certain qualities of her mother. But that certainly does not mean he loves Vaishu any less.

The kids grow up happily under the cozy comforts of their father’s protective umbrella and never miss their mother. However, one day, Vaishu feels the need to know about her mother and expects an answer from her father. Shiva, who feels he reserves the right to keep the secret undisclosed, ends up answering her question after circumstances compel him to recall the times spent with Ramya ([[Anju Kurian]]). The story moves back in time from this moment.

Shiva works as an architect, and Ramya works in a dance club. Shiva's character is portrayed as rugged and short-tempered, while Ramya's character is portrayed as calm and resilient. Despite the fact that Shiva is short-tempered, their love was evidently seen throughout the movie. One fine day, Ramya's parents fixed an alliance for her. Not able to handle the situation, Ramya opened about Shiva to her mother Jaya ([[Vinaya Prasad]]). Jaya, though shocked, promised to talk to her husband Suresh (Mathew Varghese) immediately. Suresh reluctantly agrees to meet Shiva. After a small chat with Shiva in a coffee shop, Suresh makes it clear that Shiva's divorced sister Maadhangi ([[Lizzie Antony]]) should not stay with him. This enrages Shiva, and he behaves slightly rude to Suresh. Ramya and Shiva fought a few days over the issue, until Ramya found out that she was pregnant. She told Shiva and her parents about this; though the former felt happy, the latter was obviously upset on the issue.

Maadhangi finally came and consoled Suresh. They reluctantly agree for their marriage. Both Ramya and Shiva were on cloud nine. Their happiness was short-lived when they find out that Ramya has stage three blood cancer and has to undergo an abortion as she needs to start chemotherapy. Shiva stands strong and refuses to abort his babies. Despite repeated requests from the doctors, Shiva refuses to harm his babies. At the same time, he swears to take care of Ramya carefully. Ramya starts her chemo treatments. As the chemo progresses, she loses her hair and feels insecure about that. On top of that, her mood swings gave Shiva a tough time. He kept aside his anger issues and took care of Ramya.

Ramya made a bucket list for her and Shiva to do before something bad happened to her. However, her mood swings went so bad that she started cursing the babies she carries. She could not tolerate the pain that the chemo instills on her body. She wanted to get rid of the pain. She tried to take a drug which would reduce the pain but at the same time may harm the babies. Shiva tries his best to bring her out of the thought of harming the babies.

The delivery date arrives. Ramya gives birth to twin sisters. Shiva gets emotional after seeing his daughters. Although Ramya felt alright during the birth, she also felt that her end was very near. She refuses to see her babies as it would instill the will to live and make the dying process more painful. As her situation gets worse, she starts to vomit blood and was admitted in the hospital. Finally, she agrees to see her babies and named them Vaishu and Aishu before dying.

The film ends with Vaishu opening her eyes from the operation as Shiva finishes the story, reconciling emotionally as the film ends.

{{short description|Indian historian}}
'''Kirti Narayan Chaudhuri''' (born 8 September 1934) is a historian, author, writer, graphic artist, and lately, a film-maker. He is the second son of the Indian writer [[Nirad C. Chaudhuri]].{{EngvarB|date=August 2014}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2014}}Chaudhuri has spent most of his adult life travelling and working in the Middle East, North Africa, South America, and Europe. He is a member of the [[British Academy]] and the [[Academia Europaea]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Chaudhuri_Kirti|title=Academy of Europe: Chaudhuri Kirti|access-date=31 January 2022|archive-date=31 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220131190843/https://www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Chaudhuri_Kirti|url-status=live}}</ref> Chaudhuri was ranked Number 58 on The Daily Telegraph's list of the "Top 100 Living Geniuses".

==Early life and education==
Chaudhuri was born in [[Calcutta]] and spent his childhood in [[Kolkata]] and [[Delhi]]. In his early life, he was also a pianist and a general musician. He sat for the [[entrance examination]] for the [[University of London]] and studied history at the [[School of Oriental and African Studies]], [[University College London]], [[Birkbeck, University of London|Birkbeck College]], and the [[London School of Economics]]. His teachers included [[Arthur Llewellyn Basham]], [[Cyril Philips]], [[William G. Beasley]], [[C. R. Boxer]], [[Bernard Lewis]], [[Eric Hobsbawm]], G.J. Renier, [[Michael Oakeshott]], and [[Karl Popper]]. Chaudhuri graduated with [[British undergraduate degree classification|first-class honours]] in 1959 and was awarded the Derby Fellowship for Doctoral Research Studies.

Chaudhuri completed his PhD in 1961, in just over two years. His [[Thesis|dissertation]] was on the early history of the [[Honourable East India Company|English East India Company]]. He was immediately offered a position at the University of London and became a lecturer, [[Reader (academic rank)|reader]], and professor of [[economic history]].

== Academic career ==
Chaudhuri's first monograph ''The English East India Company: the Study of an Early Joint Stock Company 1600–1640'',<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite journal|jstor=611210|title=Review of The English East India Company: The Study of an Early Joint-Stock Company, 1600-1640|first=D. K.|last=Bassett|date=1 January 1966|journal=Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London|volume=29|issue=2|pages=401–402|doi=10.1017/s0041977x00059176|s2cid=162259628 }}</ref> was published in 1965, and it is still regarded as one of the seminal works on the history of the East India Company since W.R. Scott published his classic three volume work in 1912. After the publication of the monograph, Chaudhuri began in 1966 a major research project on the later history of the East India Company. It was supported by a substantial research grant from UK Social Science Research Council. British economic historian Sir John Habakkuk, chairman of the SSRC, personally expressed his appreciation and support for Chaudhuri’s still-unproven research and methodology. The research grant enabled Chaudhuri to computerise the vast array of quantitative data on the Company’s transcontinental trade and shipping. The research was published by the Cambridge University Press in 1978 under the title ''The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company 1660–1760''.<ref name="autogenerated4">{{cite book|url=http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521031592|title=The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company|date=23 November 2006|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=9780521031592|access-date=11 September 2007|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924015339/http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521031592|url-status=live}}</ref> The Cambridge University Press reprinted the work in 2006. The methodology of the book was based on computerised data processing and rigorous statistical methods and systems analysis. This provided historians with a wide range of reliable statistical data on early modern trade and shipping, and Chaudhuri's conclusions point to the way early modern capitalism and business methods developed in Europe and the Indian Ocean. Economic History Net described the book as one of the most significant works in twentieth century economic history.<ref name="autogenerated3">[http://eh.net/bookreviews/library/hejeebu The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company, 1660–1760 Book Reviews] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012150925/http://eh.net/bookreviews/library/hejeebu |date=12 October 2007 }}</ref>

In 1980, the Cambridge University Press commissioned Chaudhuri to write a two-volume work on the history of the Indian Ocean similar in scope and narrative to the work of the French historian [[Fernand Braudel]]. Chaudhuri was profoundly influenced by Braudel's approach and remained in close touch with the French historian until the latter's death in 1985. The Cambridge University Press contract led to the publication in 1985 of T''he Trade and Civilisation in Indian Ocean from the Rise of Islam to 1750''<ref name="autogenerated5">{{cite book|url=http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521285421|title=Trade and Civilisation in the Indian Ocean|date=7 March 1985|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=9780521285421|access-date=11 September 2007|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924015344/http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521285421|url-status=live}}</ref> and ''Asia before Europe'' in 1990.<ref name="autogenerated2">{{cite journal|jstor=575253|title=Review of Asia before Europe. Economy and Civilisation of the Indian Ocean from the Rise of Islam to 1750|first=C. A.|last=Bayly|date=1 January 1992|journal=The English Historical Review|volume=107|issue=424|pages=680–682|doi=10.1093/ehr/CVII.CCCCXXIV.680}}</ref>

Whereas ''Trade and Civilisation'' mainly follows the traditional descriptive method of a historian, ''Asia before Europe'' is a study, using mathematical set theory, of the dynamic interaction between economic life, society, and civilisation in the regions around and beyond the Indian Ocean during the period from the rise of Islam to 1750. It raises and answers the question how the identity of different Asian civilisations is established in the first place and then goes on to examine the structural features of food habits, clothing, architectural styles, and housing. The analysis of the different modes of economic production is followed by a description of the role of crop raising, pastoral nomadism, industrial activities, and the history of urbanisation for the main regions of the Indian Ocean. The book also presents a distinctive theory of comparative history. An extension of [[Fernand Braudel]]'s theory of time and space, the methodology sets out precisely the logical foundation of the historical perceptions of unities and disunities, continuities, ruptures, and thresholds. The analysis of the historical evidence leads to the conclusion that Indian Ocean societies were united or separated from one another by a conscious cultural and linguistic identity. Below this surface level of awareness was a deeper structure of unities created by a common ecology, technology of economic production, traditions of government, theory of political obligations rights, and shared historical experience. The theory makes it possible to show that the name or the linguistic sign "Indian Ocean" is an arbitrary construction with a narrow range of meaning: the real Indian Ocean was an area which extended historically from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to the sea which lies beyond Japan. The "axiom of choice" in mathematical set theory is used to show that even the great deserts of Asia can be included in the "set" Indian Ocean through the logic of dialectical opposition.

=== Criticism and impact ===

Santhi Hejeebu, of the Department of Economics at the [[University of Iowa]], in her general critique<ref name="autogenerated3" /> of the ''Trading World of Asia and English East India Company'', commented on the use of systems theory to describe the East India Company: “He writes of the Company as a trading system, one in which the decision-rules employed by management can be mapped to a sequence of physical inputs and outputs, suggesting the Company operated like an engine."<ref>K.N. Chaudhuri, The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company 1660 1760, Cambridge, 1978, p. 486.</ref> She noted that the use of systems theory was unusual approach to organisational analysis,<ref>Jean Tirole. 1989. Theory of Industrial Organization. Cambridge: MIT Press. George Stigler. 1968. Organization of Industry. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.</ref> though it could still be useful to economic history, particularly when you need to understand the details of a very complex operation.<ref>K. N. Chaudhuri. 1983. "The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company, 1660–1760: A review of reviews." South Asia Research (London) 3 (1) (May): 10–17. p. 14</ref> The gargantuan task of synthesising the thousands of volumes of records pertaining to the Company over the period indeed required a coherent approach embedded in a structural model of the Company's various operations.

“The drawback to systems theory is that it is a static model of the organization and it therefore offers no guidance on how to ask the deeper questions about efficiency or organizational change. Writes Chaudhuri, 'For a model cannot without destroying itself take account of the passage of time which affects its structural boundaries and parameters'.<ref>K. N. Chaudhuri. 1983. "The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company, 1660–1760: A review of reviews." South Asia Research (London) 3 (1) (May): 10–17. p. 41</ref> Theories of institutional change are of fundamental concern and those that are not amenable to changes over time appear to have little explanatory power. Thus while useful as an organising heuristic, systems analysis seems rather unlikely to yield insights regarding organizational change.”

Clive Dewey noted that the ''Trading World of Asia ''"represented the work of a lifetime, not only—or even mainly—in the sense that it took a significant proportion of [the author's] working life to write, but in the sense that such a book is only likely to be written once in a lifetime." Ten productive years of archival work (involving English, French, Dutch, and Belgian sources) went into the production of ''Trading World of Asia''.<ref>C.J. Dewey, Review in Times Literary Supplement, 23 July 1980.</ref>

Dewey goes on to write, “The book influenced numerous literatures within economics and history. Chaudhuri's emphasis on the efficiency of the East India Company resonates in the literature on the origins of the multinational organization and on the character of the English chartered companies. While Chaudhuri used systems theory, others (Anderson et al. 1983 and Carlos and Nicholas, 1988) have employed transactions cost analysis, agency theory, and Chandlerian analysis of firm structure to argue that the East India Company was an organizational innovation on par with a modern multinational firm such as General Motors.<ref>Gary Anderson, Robert McCormick and Robert Tollison. 1983. "The Economic Organization of the English East India Company," Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. 4 (4): 221–238. Ann Carlos and Nicholas, Stephen. 1988. "'Giants of an Earlier Capitalism': The Chartered Trading Companies as Modern Multinationals," Business History Review. 62 (Autumn): 398–419.</ref> They emphasize the efficacy of the firm's internal operations as its main commercial legacy. They de-emphasize the firm's imperial legacy. Other studies by contrast have highlighted the significance of "merchant empires" to European expansion. These works have also drawn on Chaudhuri's insights."

On ''Asia before Europe'', [[Sugata Bose]], Gardiner Professor of History at [[Harvard University]], wrote: “Yet it remains an open question whether the recourse to mathematical precision fares much better than a historian’s intuitive presumptions in resolving the problem of the spatial limits of an interregional arena of human interaction.”<ref>Sugata Bose, Hundred Horizons, The Indian Ocean in the age of Global Empire, Harvard University Press, 2006, p.,11.</ref>

In 1991, Chaudhuri was invited to become the first Vasco da Gama Professor of the History of European Expansion at the [[European University Institute]] in [[Florence]], Italy, with the support of the Portuguese National Commission for Maritime Discoveries.<ref>O tempo lento do Indico, Interview between K.N. Chaudhuri and Rui Rocha, Expresso, Revista, Lisbon, Saturday, 3 August 1991 and "Indian History and the Indian Ocean (Professor K. N. Chaudhuri Interviewed by Ranabir Chakrabarti)." Calcutta Historical Journal. 14 (1–2) (July 1989 – June 1990): 78–83.</ref> Chaudhuri completed his contract in 1999 and has returned to his earlier activities as a creative writer and an artist.

Chaudhuri was elected to the [[British Academy]] (1990), the [[Royal Historical Society]] (1993), and [[Academia Europaea]] (1994). The [[Government of Portugal|Portuguese government]] and National Commission for Discoveries awarded him the Don John de Castro Prize in International History (1994).

== Later literary and artistic works ==

In 1994, Kirti Chaudhuri founded Gallery Schifanoia and its associated imprint house Schifanoia Firenze to exhibit, print, and publish his artistic and literary works along with the works of other artists and writers. The chance purchase of two rare books, the facsimile edition of the ''Calligraphic Models of Ludovico Degli Arrighi surnamed Vicento'' (1525) and the Socratic dialogue ''[[Crito]]'' by Plato, hand printed by [[Hans Mardersteig]] in [[Montagnola]] in 1926, led Chaudhuri to the idea of founding a printing and publishing enterprise similar to Mardersteig’s [[Officina Bodoni]], which was later transferred to Verona and joined to the letter-press printing house Stamperia Valdonega. The press has published thirty titles so far and further projects are being planned for future publication. The activities of Schifanoia Firenze as a private press and a publishing house belong to the same genre and the tradition created by [[Ambroise Vollard]] at the beginning of the twentieth century, a tradition that was actively taken up by other art dealers and art publishers such as [[Daniel Henry Kahnweiler]], [[Albert Skira]], [[Tériade]], and [[Fabiani]].

Schifanoia Firenze has tried to maintain the standards of bookwork set by [[Johannes Gutenberg|Gutenberg]], Nicholas Jensen, [[Aldus Manutius]], [[Claude Garamond]], [[Bodoni]], and modern designers such as [[Jan Tschischold]], Hans Mardersteig, [[Bruce Rogers (typographer)|Bruce Rogers]], and [[Frederick Warde]]. The search for fine printing paper led Chaudhuri to the high narrow valley of [[Pescia]] in Tuscany where fifteenth-century methods are still being followed in the paper mill of Cartiere Enrico Magnani. The exquisite Japanese Kozo bark paper and the Gampi vellum are used for special reserve copies, which are bound by famous designer binders in full Morocco leather. Some of these examples can be seen at the National Art Library, Victoria; the [[Victoria and Albert Museum|Albert Museum]] in London; and in the [[British Library]]. Chaudhuri’s graphic work, large prints and photographic images, have been exhibited in Florence, London, and Paris.

His artistic work took a new direction with an audio play, ''Four Nights in Tunis''. He wrote and directed the production of the compact disk in June 2007 and it is part of an audio book. The audio play was recorded at the professional sound studio A1 Vox and mastered at Iguana Music Studio, London. The parts were played by [[Beverley Beer]] and [[Andy Rowe]]. Chaudhuri was the narrator. From 2008 Chaudhuri became actively involved in the direction and production of films and created a completely new genre, a mixture of semiotic films, narration, and fictional documentary. The first film which he directed, produced, and wrote the screen play was released in 2009 under the title ''The Downfall and the Redemption of Dr John Faustino''. This was followed by a two part series entitled ''In Santuario del Milagro'' with Jaguar of Chaco as the first part and Dolor de Rosita Valdez as the second. Then came a trilogy in 2011, ''Night Blooming Flower of the Poison Thicket''. In 2013, Chaudhuri produced the trilogy ''Double Insanity Nostos Algos? Nostalgia?'', ''Guilt from a Night of the Full Moon'', and ''Dr Johannes von Faust''.<ref>{{YouTube|RmQXDYW7OUc|Dr Johannes von Faust}}</ref> The cinematic and audio creations were produced two by the production studios Schifanoia Films and Centre Polyphony.<ref>{{YouTube|NZd_FdZie-0|Centre Polyphony}}</ref>

'''Anthony De Sa''' (1 March 1915 – 10 July 1969) was an Indian actor, playwright, [[theatre director]], singer, and composer known for his work in [[Konkani cinema|Konkani films]] and ''[[tiatr]]'' productions.

==Career==
De Sa commenced his acting career at the age of 18 in 1933, in [[Bombay]] (now Mumbai). His passion for the stage led him to write his first ''[[tiatr]]'', a form of [[Konkani language|Konkani]] theater, at that age. Despite his early enthusiasm for acting and singing, De Sa faced familial resistance as his family disdained ''tiatrs'' and ''[[tiatrist]]s''. His family, belonging to an [[Aristocracy (class)|aristocratic]] background, viewed performing on a Konkani stage as beneath their [[social standing]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Mazarello |first=Sharon |title=TIATR 125th Anniversary Commemorative Volume |publisher=[[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] |year=2019 |location=[[Panaji, Goa]] |pages=23–24}}</ref> Consequently, De Sa was compelled to conceal his love for the Konkani stage for the time being. However, his affection for singing and acting drove him to take action. An opportunity arose when De Sa traveled to Bombay for his studies and resided in a village club. The club members collectively decided to stage a ''tiatr'' and, recognizing De Sa's superior education and intellectual capabilities, approached him to write the script.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Mazarello |first=Wilson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |title=100 Years of Konkani Tiatro |date=2000 |publisher=Government of Goa, Directorate of Art & Culture |pages=46–50 |language=en |access-date=2024-02-20 |archive-date=2024-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240107200151/https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Despite being a mere 18-year-old student, De Sa readily accepted the challenge, driven by his deep-seated passion for singing and acting. Thus, he composed his debut ''tiatr'' script titled ''Zhuz Mogachem'' (Battle for Love). However, numerous obstacles hindered the staging of this ''tiatr'' at the Princess Theatre in Bhangwadi, Bombay. Initially, the [[List of riots in India#Riots in Pre-Independent India|Hindu-Muslim riots]] erupted, resulting in a citywide [[curfew]] that prohibited the staging of dramas.<ref name=":0" /> Consequently, the performance had to be postponed. Additionally, De Sa encountered difficulties in obtaining permission from the [[Police Commissioner of Mumbai|City Police Commissioner]] due to concerns about potential disturbances. Undeterred, De Sa confronted these challenges and successfully convinced the City Police Commissioner to grant special permission. Finally, the ''tiatr'' was staged and received favorable reception from the audience. Konkani ''tiatr'' directors [[Saib Rocha]] and J.P. Souzalin were among the spectators, appreciating De Sa's talents.<ref name=":1" />

Impressed by De Sa's singing abilities, J.P. Souzalin promptly recruited him to perform the opening song in his next ''tiatr. De Sa'', a singer with a distinctive style, appeared before the director in his finest attire, complete with gloves and a hat reminiscent of English actors. Despite feeling initially overwhelmed by the director's approach, De Sa accepted the offer. However, he had no predetermined idea about the type of song he would perform for the director. Consequently, he composed an English song with a translated [[Konkani language|Konkani]] version for the opening act.<ref name=":0" /> This innovative style secured De Sa a regular place as the [[Theme music|opening song]] performer in subsequent ''tiatrs''. Previously, the prerogative of singing the opening song had belonged to established singers such as Patrick Fireman, Luis Borges, Emidio Sailor, Anthony Vaz, Souza Ferrão, and Dioginho de Mello. However, De Sa's debut in J.P. Souzalin's ''tiatr'' disrupted this tradition. From then on, he became the exclusive performer of the opening song in every ''tiatr''. De Sa's higher level of education distinguished him from his fellow singers on stage, enabling him to effortlessly compose and perform English and [[Goan music|Konkani songs]] for the opening act.<ref name=":1" />

De Sa's musical compositions were known for their quality, surpassing those of his contemporaries. Author [[Sharon Mazarello]] writes, his compositions resonated with the audience, eliciting applause and showcasing his depth as a composer. With a pleasant and powerful voice, De Sa's performances on stage captivated listeners. He held the position of the opening singer in ''tiatrs'' for many years. As his career progressed, De Sa also ventured into acting, starting with smaller roles and gradually honing his skills. Konkani historian [[Wilson Mazarello]] writes, with time, he emerged as an accomplished actor, taking on more significant and challenging roles.<ref name=":1" /> His meticulous approach involved studying each character in detail and bringing them to life on stage. De Sa earned the admiration of J.P. Souzalin, who frequently entrusted him with main roles in his ''tiatrs''. De Sa's portrayal of [[Jesus Christ]] in [[Liturgical drama|religious]] ''tiatrs'' was highly favored by Souzalin. One of his most memorable performances was as Jesus in J.P. Souzalin's ''Sat Dukhi'' (Seven Sorrows), which left an impression on the audience.<ref name=":0" />

After establishing himself as an actor, De Sa delved into the realm of playwriting, penning a total of 17 original ''[[tiatr]]s''. Additionally, he undertook the task of revising and directing 24 ''tiatrs'' written by various playwrights. Some of his works include ''Rogtachi Bhett'' (The Blood Sacrifice), ''Ghatkem Kumsar'', ''Vingans'', ''Maim ti Maim'' (Mother is Mother), ''Soddtam Devache Nitik'', ''Farikponn'' (Debt), ''Dotor Fottas'', ''Nirbhag Axechem'', ''Nores Fonddpi'', ''Patok Dubavachem'' (The Sin of Doubt), ''Inam Zolmancho'', ''Goemkarancheo Sonvoleom'', ''Nisontton Fuddarachem'', ''Inam Patkacho'', ''Ayah'' and ''Lojechem Boglantt'' (Shameful Calumny). De Sa's talents extended beyond the stage. He has had several of his songs recorded by [[HMV|HMV Records]], including "Ankvar Dovortolem", "Irene Mhaka Rabta", and "Kai Borem Tem Mannkulem".<ref name=":0" /> He has also appeared in two [[Konkani cinema|Konkani films]], ''[[Amchem Noxib]]'' and ''[[Nirmon]]'', where his portrayal of a villain in the latter film received particular acclaim. De Sa has been a regular artist in plays organized by [[All India Radio]] (Bombay), with some of his recorded songs broadcast by All India Radio (Bombay) and [[Panaji]].<ref name=":1" />

[[Wilson Mazarello]] further writes, De Sa initially began his career as a singer in J. P. Souzalin's ''tiatr'', but he ultimately made a significant impact, earning similar levels of popularity, respect, and dedication to the [[Tiatr|Konkani stage]] as his director. While not reaching the same level of acclaim as a writer as J. P. Souzalin, De Sa played a pivotal role in upholding the honor and prestige of the Konkani ''[[tiatr]]'' during the first half of the 20th century. His contributions were instrumental in bringing respect and dignity to the Konkani stage, as noted by Mazarello. De Sa has been involved in over 300 ''tiatr'' performances, both in his own productions and in collaborations with others. He has also recorded music for numerous HMV Records and has toured various locations including [[Bombay]], [[Poona]], [[Goa]], and [[East Africa]].<ref name=":1" /> His final self-produced work, ''Ghatkem Kumsar'', was staged at Tejpal Hall in Bombay on 12 February 1969. [[Sharon Mazarello]] further writes, known for his meticulous approach to direction and his pursuit of excellence from his performers, De Sa earned the respect of his peers and collaborators. His last appearance was in [[M. Boyer]]'s ''Atam Konn Ghatki?'' at Damodar Hall in [[Parel]], Bombay on 28 February 1969. Despite starting his career as a singer, De Sa's impact as an actor and director has been widely recognized, as noted by Mazarello.<ref name=":0" />

==Personal life==
Anthony De Sa was born on 1 March 1915, in Dandora ward in the town of [[Cuncolim]], [[Goa]], which was part of [[Portuguese India]] during the [[Portuguese Empire]]. He was the son of Marcus Antonio Benedicto de Sa and Agatha Ernestina Gracias. De Sa had a brother who was a priest and known for his [[orator]]y skills.<ref name=":2" /> On July 10, 1969, De Sa died in [[Dhobitalao]], [[Bombay]], at the age of 54.<ref name=":0" />

==Legacy==
In February 2015, the [[Indian Postal Service]] announced its plans to commemorate the birth centenary of De Sa. As part of the celebration, they planned to release a special [[postal cover]] with a unique cancellation mark. The honor of applying the cancellation mark was bestowed upon Charles Lobo, the [[Post Master General]] of [[Goa]]. The unveiling ceremony and cancellation mark application were scheduled to take place on 1 March at the Municipal hall in [[Cuncolim]]. In addition to the postal cover release, a tribute was planned for De Sa in his hometown. The road leading to De Sa's residence in Dandora, Cuncolim, was to be officially named "Anthony De Sa Rosto," signifying its association with the individual. The event was jointly organized by the [[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] (TAG) and the Cuncolim Municipal Council (CMC).<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-02-28 |title=Spl postal cover, road to be named in honour of tiatrist Anthony De Sa |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/spl-postal-cover-road-to-be-named-in-honour-of-tiatrist-anthony-de-sa/articleshow/46402216.cms |access-date=2024-02-20 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=2024-02-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220181438/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/spl-postal-cover-road-to-be-named-in-honour-of-tiatrist-anthony-de-sa/articleshow/46402216.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 1 March 2015, the Department of [[India Post]] fulfilled its commitment by officially launching the special postal cover in Cuncolim. Charles Lobo, along with several dignitaries, presided over the ceremony. These dignitaries included Landry Mascarenhas, the Chairperson of the Cuncolim Municipal Council, [[Prince Jacob]], the President of TAG, and Fr Manuel Fernandes from the Our Lady of Health Church in Cuncolim.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Road named after tiatrist De Sa in Cuncolim |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/Road-named-after-tiatrist-De-Sa-in-Cuncolim-/85520 |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=oHeraldo |date=31 August 2022 |archive-date=2024-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240221105942/https://www.heraldgoa.in/Goa/Road-named-after-tiatrist-De-Sa-in-Cuncolim-/85520 |url-status=live }}</ref> During the event, Fr Manuel shared his personal connection with De Sa's brother, who was well known for his sermons. Landry expressed his pride in having the road named after Anthony De Sa, particularly since he himself hailed from the same ward in Dandora, Cuncolim. Joe Rose, the Vice President of TAG, delivered a vote of thanks and reminisced about his early encounters with De Sa when they both embarked on their ''[[tiatr]]'' journeys as young individuals.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Times |first=Navhind |date=2015-03-18 |title=India Post releases Special Postal Cover on Anthony De Sa on his Birth Centenary – The Navhind Times |url=https://www.navhindtimes.in/2015/03/18/magazines/buzz/india-post-releases-special-postal-cover-on-anthony-de-sa-on-his-birth-centenary/ |access-date=2024-02-20 |language=en-US |archive-date=2024-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240221105958/https://www.navhindtimes.in/2015/03/18/magazines/buzz/india-post-releases-special-postal-cover-on-anthony-de-sa-on-his-birth-centenary/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Life and background==
Dev was born on 25 December 1982, in Mahisha, a small village near [[Keshpur]], to Gurudas Adhikari and Mousumi Adhikari. His father used to have a food-catering service and his mother is a housewife. His nickname is Raju. He spent his childhood living with his maternal uncle in [[Chandrakona]] and his sister, Deepali. Later in his childhood, he moved to [[Mumbai]] and attended Purushottam High School in [[Bandra]]. His sister, Deepali Adhikari, was married on 9 August 2015 to Anirban.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/photo-features/celebs-and-celebrations-galore-at-devs-sisters-marriage/photostory/48437532.cms|title=Celebs and celebrations galore at Dev's sister's marriage!|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=11 August 2015|archive-date=2 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180602085146/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/photo-features/celebs-and-celebrations-galore-at-devs-sisters-marriage/photostory/48437532.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

He also did an acting course at the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Academy.<ref name=Midnapore.IN /> In an interview with ''[[The Times of India]]'', Dev recalled that when his school was closed for summer, he went to the outdoors of ''[[Prahaar: The Final Attack]]'' with his father, where [[Nana Patekar]] was shooting. He described it as more of a family vacation for them and work did not feel like work. As a child, that was the first time he got a taste of cinema. Though that was his first, life continued to be the same for the next couple of years. The family was based in [[Mumbai]] and Dev would often accompany his father to the sets of Abbas–Mustan and Prakash Jha, among several others. There were times when his father would keep busy with other things and he had to chip in. Though he could not cook, he would do the groceries and supervise on his father's behalf. He also said there were times when he washed plates and served food. After receiving his [[Diploma in Engineering|Diploma]] from BV Jawaharlal Nehru Institute Of Technology ([[Bharati Vidyapeeth]]) in [[Pune]], in [[Computer Engineering]], Dev returned to [[Mumbai]] and started his film career as an observer on the set of [[Abbas–Mustan]]'s ''[[Taarzan: The Wonder Car]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/Dev-who-once-served-food-to-SRK-gifts-restaurant-to-dad/articleshow/50118272.cms|title=Dev, who once served food to SRK, gifts restaurant to dad|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=12 January 2017|archive-date=6 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161206152516/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/Dev-who-once-served-food-to-SRK-gifts-restaurant-to-dad/articleshow/50118272.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

Though the former two films were commercial hits, with ''Khoka 420'' and ''Rangbazz'' earning {{INR}}8,000,000 and {{INR}}9,000,000 respectively, the latter gave him a slight decree of critical success. Made on a budget of {{INR}}15,000,000 and shot in [[South Africa]], the film met with critical and commercial success upon release. Dola Mitra of ''[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook (magazine)]]'' reviewed: "Dev charms as Shankar Choudhury, the young Bengali village boy who dreads clerkdom and wangles a job as station master of a tiny train station in Uganda, where only one train stops in a day." Besides many awards, Dev won the Kalakar Awards for his performance in the film and a [[Filmfare Awards East]] nomination. After appearing in two films, one where he gave a special appearance and another critically and commercially unsuccessful film, he gave another critically acclaimed performance in ''[[Buno Haansh]]'', the adaptation of [[Samaresh Majumdar]]'s successful novel of the same name.

In 2015, he appeared in [[Aparna Sen]]'s [[action film|action]] [[romance film|romantic]] [[drama]] [[film]] ''[[Arshinagar]]'' opposite Rittika Sen.

The '''jungle babbler''' ('''''Argya striata''''') is a member of the family [[Leiothrichidae]] found in the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Jungle babblers are gregarious birds that forage in small groups of six to ten birds, a habit that has given them the popular name of "'''Seven Sisters'''" in urban Northern India, and ('''seven brothers''') in [[Bengali language|Bengali]], with [[cognate (etymology)|cognates]] in other [[Languages of India|regional languages]] which also mean "seven brothers".<ref>{{cite book|author=Yule, Henry|year=1903|title=Hobson-Jobson: A glossary of colloquial Anglo-Indian words and phrases of kindred terms etymological, historical, geographical and discursive|editor=William Crooke |publisher=J.

The jungle babbler is a common resident breeding bird in most parts of the Indian subcontinent and is often seen in gardens within large cities as well as in forested areas. In the past, the [[orange-billed babbler]], ''Turdoides rufescens'', of [[Sri Lanka]] was considered to be a subspecies of jungle babbler, but has now been elevated to a species.

==Taxonomy==
The jungle babbler was described by the French zoologist [[Charles Dumont de Sainte Croix]] in 1823, based on specimens from [[Bengal]]. He coined the [[binomial name]] ''Cossyphus striatus''.<ref>{{ cite book | last=Dumont | first=Charles | author-link=Charles Dumont de Sainte Croix | year=1823 | title=Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles | editor-last=Cuvier | editor-first=Frédéric | editor-link=Frédéric Cuvier | volume=29 | language=fr | location=Strasbourg | publisher=F.G. Levrault | page=268 | url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/25298945 }}</ref> This babbler was formerly placed in the [[genus]] ''[[Turdoides]]'' but following the publication of a comprehensive [[molecular phylogenetic]] study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus ''[[Argya]]''.<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Cibois | first1=A. | last2=Gelang | first2=M. | last3=Alström | first3=P. | last4=Pasquet | first4=E. | last5=Fjeldså | first5=J. | last6=Ericson | first6=P.G.P. | last7=Olsson | first7=U. | year=2018 | title=Comprehensive phylogeny of the laughingthrushes and allies (Aves, Leiothrichidae) and a proposal for a revised taxonomy | journal=Zoologica Scripta | volume=47 | issue=4 | pages=428–440 | doi=10.1111/zsc.12296 | s2cid=51883434 }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2019 | title=Laughingthrushes and allies | work=World Bird List Version 9.1 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/laughingthrushes/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=20 January 2019 }}</ref>

There are several named geographically isolated subspecies that show plumage shade differences.<ref name=postilla>{{cite journal|author=Ripley, S Dillon |year=1958|title= Indian Birds. VII. |journal=Postilla |volume=35|pages=1–12|url=https://archive.org/stream/postilla150peab#page/n340/mode/1up/}}</ref> Former race ''rufescens'' of Sri Lanka is considered a full species. The widely accepted subspecies include:
* ''A. s. striata'' (Dumont de Sainte Croix, 1823) which is found over much of northern India south of the Himalayan foothills extending to [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Bhutan]], [[Assam]], [[Odisha]] and northeastern [[Andhra Pradesh]]. The form found in parts of Odisha, ''orissae'', is said to be more rufous above and is usually subsumed into this.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Ripley, S. Dillon |year=1969|title= The name of the Jungle Babbler ''Turdoides striatus'' (Aves) from Orissa. |journal=J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. |volume=66|issue=1|pages=167–168|url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/47961252}}</ref>
* ''A. s. sindiana'' (Ticehurst, 1920) is a paler desert form that is found in the [[Indus River]] plains of [[Pakistan]] and extends into [[Rajasthan]] and the [[Rann of Kutch]] in India.
* ''A. s. somervillei'' (Sykes, 1832) is found in the northern [[Western Ghats]].
* ''A. s. malabarica'' (Jerdon, 1845) is found in the southern Western Ghats.
* ''A. s. orientalis'' (Jerdon, 1845) is found in peninsular India east of the Western Ghats.

Some older literature can be confusing due to some incorrect usage, such as with Whistler (1944, ''Spolia Zeylanica'', 23:131), who used the name ''affinis'' which is a completely different species, ''[[Turdoides affinis]]'', restricted to peninsular India. Although the two can sometimes be confused in poor lighting conditions, their calls are entirely different.<ref name=hbk/><ref name=postilla/>

==Description==
[[File:Jungle Babbler (Turdoides striatus) in Kawal, AP W IMG 1953.jpg|thumb|left|Adult ssp. ''orientalis'' in Kawal, A.P., [[India]].]]
The jungle babbler's habitat is [[forest]] and [[Tillage|cultivation]]. This [[species]], like most babblers, is non-[[bird migration|migratory]], and has short rounded wings and a weak flight. The sexes are identical, drably coloured in brownish grey with a yellow-bill making them confusable only with the endemic [[yellow-billed babbler]]s of peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The upper parts are usually slightly darker in shade and there is some mottling on the throat and breast. Subspecies ''somervillei'' of [[Maharashtra]] has a very rufous tail and dark primary flight feathers. The jungle babbler can be separated from the white-headed babbler by the dark loreal zone between the bill and the eye as well as the lack of a contrasting light crown. The calls of the two species are however distinct and unmistakable. The jungle babbler has harsh nasal calls while the white-headed babbler has high pitched calls. Another babbler that is similarly found in urban areas is the [[large grey babbler]]; however, that species has a distinctive long tail with white outer tail feathers.<ref name=hbk>{{cite book|author1=Ali, S |author2=S D Ripley| title=Handbook of the birds of India and Pakistan|edition=2nd|publisher=Oxford University Press|volume= 6|year= 1996 |pages =224–230 }}</ref>

The jungle babbler lives in flocks of seven to ten or more. It is a noisy bird, and the presence of a flock may generally be known at some distance by the harsh mewing calls, continual chattering, squeaking and chirping produced by its members.

==Behaviour and ecology==
[[File:A Pair of Jungle Babblers.jpg|thumb|right|A pair from [[Western Ghats]] [[allopreening]] after a [[monsoon]] rain ]]
Jungle babblers are gregarious and very social. They sometimes form the core of a [[mixed-species foraging flock]].<ref name=pcr>{{cite book|author1=Rasmussen, PC |author2=JC Anderton|year=2005|title= Birds of South Asia: The Ripley Guide.|publisher= Smithsonian Institution & Lynx Edicions|volume=2|pages=445–446}}</ref> They feed mainly on insects, but also eat grains, nectar and berries.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Food habits of jungle babbler ''Turdoides striatus'' (Dumont) and its role in the ecosystem|journal=Indian Journal of Ecology |volume=13|issue=1|pages=38–45| year=1986|author1=Narang, ML |author2=Lamba, BS}}</ref> The groups maintain territories and will defend them against neighbours, which are nevertheless sometimes tolerated.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gaston, AJ |year=1978|title= The Evolution of Group Territorial Behavior and Cooperative Breeding. |journal=The American Naturalist |volume=112|issue=988|pages=1091–1100|doi=10.1086/283348|s2cid=84022037}}</ref> For their size, they are long lived and have been noted to live as long as 16.5 years in captivity.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Flower SS |year=1938|title= Further notes on the duration of life in animals.

When foraging, some birds take up a high vantage point and act as sentinels. They are known to gather and [[mobbing behavior|mob]] potential predators such as snakes.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Devasahayam, S |author2=Devasahayam, Anita |year=1991|title= Aggressive behaviour of Jungle Babblers ''Turdoides striatus'' (Dumont) towards a snake.|journal= J. Bombay Nat. Hist.

Young birds have a dark [[Iris (anatomy)|iris]]. Older birds have an iris of a pale creamy colour and it has been found that the iris has a dark epithelium, which becomes invisible when the muscle fibres develop in the iris and make the dark basal colours invisible and thus appear cream-coloured.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Andrew MI |author2=RM Naik |year=1965|title= Structural basis of the change of eye colour of the Jungle Babbler, ''Turdoides striatus'' (Dumont), during post-embryonic development. |journal=Pavo |volume=3|pages=72–74}}</ref>

They breed throughout the year, with peak breeding in northern India being noted between March–April and July–September. Birds reach [[sexual maturity]] after their third year.<ref name=demog/> The nest is built halfway up in a tree, concealed in dense masses of foliage. The normal clutch is three or four (but can be up to seven) deep greenish blue eggs. In northern India, birds breeding during July–September tend to be [[Parasitism|parasitized]] by the [[Clamator jacobinus|pied crested cuckoo]] and sometimes by the [[common hawk-cuckoo]].<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gaston, A. J.|year=1976|title=Brood parasitism by the Pied Crested Cuckoo ''Clamator jacobinus''.|journal= Journal of Animal Ecology |volume=45|pages=331–48|doi=10.2307/3878|issue=2|jstor=3878}}</ref> [[Helpers at the nest|Helpers]] assist the parents in feeding the young.

[[File:WikipediaBroodParasitism.webm|thumb|alt=brood parasitism|Parasitised jungle babblers feeding a common hawk-cuckoo.]]
Birds fledge and females tend to leave their natal group after about two years.<ref name=demog/> Birds within a group often indulge in [[allopreening]], play chases and mock fights.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gaston, A. J. |year=1977|title=Social behaviour within groups of jungle babblers ''Turdoides striatus'' |journal=Animal Behaviour|volume=25|issue=828–848|doi=10.1016/0003-3472(77)90036-7|pages=828–848|s2cid=53146659}}</ref> When threatened by predators, they have been said to sometimes [[Thanatosis|feign death]].<ref>{{cite journal|author=Neelakantan, KK |year=1957|title= Hypnotic behaviour of a White-headed Babbler (''Turdoides striatus'')|journal=J.

==In culture==
Jungle babblers are very common near towns and cities, particularly in northern India. They are well known for their habit of moving in groups, which has earned them the local [[Hindi-Urdu]] name ''Sat Bhai'' (meaning "seven brethren"); in [[Indian English]], however, this is often translated as the "Seven Sisters".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/popularhandbooko033226mbp#page/n73/mode/1up/|author=Whistler, Hugh|year=1949|title=Popular handbook of Indian birds|pages=40–43|edition=4th| publisher=Gurney and Jackson, London}}</ref> Visitors to India are very likely to notice these vocal and active birds, and [[Frank Finn]] notes an incident during the colonial period in India:

{{blockquote|Some years back, a new [[Governor-General of India|Viceroy]] was being shown the wonders of his temporary kingdom, and among these the [[Taj Mahal|Taj]] at [[Agra]] held, of course, an important place. Arrived before the glorious monument of Eastern love and pride, the artless [[Aide-de-camp|Aide-de-Camp]] was mute; the gilded [[Staff (military)|staff]] were still as [[Rudyard Kipling|Kipling]] says, in anxious expectation of the comment of [[Excellency|His Excellency]]. But this, alas when it came was merely the remark: "What are those funny little birds?" The shock must have been the greater for the fact that the mean fowls thus honoured were it seems, of that singularly disreputable species which is commonly known in India as the "Seven Sisters" or "Seven Brothers," or by the Hindustani equivalent of ''sat-bhai''.<ref>{{cite book|author=Finn, Frank|year=1904|title= The Birds of Calcutta|publisher=Thacker, Spink and Co.|url=https://archive.org/details/birdsofcalcutta00finnrich}}</ref>}}

The Indian folklorist [[Saratcandra Mitra]] recorded a belief among the Lushai-Kuki people that during a solar eclipse, humans could transform into jungle babblers.<ref>{{cite journal|pages=150–151|title=Studies in bird-myths, No XXIV-on a Lushai-Kuki aetiological myth about the Jungle babbler|journal=Quarterly Journal of the Mythic Society|volume=19|issue=2| year=1928|author=Mitra, S.C.}}</ref>

'''Bhavesh Bhatt''' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]: ભાવેશ ભટ્ટ) is a [[Gujarati language]] [[ghazal]] [[poet]] from [[Gujarat]], [[India]]. His published works include ''[[Chhe To Chhe]]'' (2009) and ''[[Bhitarno Shankhanaad]]'' (2014). He won the [[Shayda Award]] of 2014 for his contributions to Gujarati [[ghazal]] poetry.<ref name=":0"/>

== Early life ==
Bhavesh Bhatt was born on 12 January 1975 in [[Ahmedabad]], [[Gujarat]] to Dilipbhai and Jayabahen. He completed his primary education (standards 1 to 5) at Ankur High school, Ahmedabad, in 1985 and secondary education (standards 6 to 9) at H. B. Kapadia High School, located at Delhi Darwaza, Ahmedabad, in 1989. He completed his Standard 10 from B. V. High School, Ahmedabad, in 1990 and Standard 12 from Ashish High School, Ahmedabad, in 1992. In 1994, he joined the Bachelor of Arts program at [[Gujarat College]] and dropped out after the first year. Bhavesh married Bijal in 2007 and they have a daughter.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|title = Navya Kavi Navya Kavita|last = Parikh|first = Dhiru |author-link=Dhiru Parikh |date = December 2015|journal = [[Kavilok]]}}</ref>

== Career ==
He started writing at the age of 25. His first publication was a ghazal, published in the Gujarati poetry journal, ''[[Kavilok]]'' in 2003. Subsequently, his ghazals are published in several Gujarati literary magazines including ''[[Gazalvishwa]]'', ''[[Shabdasrishti]]'', ''[[Dhabak]]'', ''Tadarthya'', ''Shabdasar'', ''Navneet Samarpan'' and ''Kavita''. In 2007, his ghazals have been anthologized in ''Vis Pancha'', a collection of Gujarati ghazals, with four other young poets including [[Anil Chavda]], [[Ashok Chavda]], [[Hardwar Goswami]] and Chandresh Makwana. He also writes ghazal in the [[Urdu language]].<ref name=":1" />

== Works ==
''[[Chhe To Chhe]]'', his first poetry collection, was published in 2009, followed by ''[[Bhitarno Shankhanaad]]'' in 2014, which gained him critical acclaim. He is considered a forerunner of modernity in the Gujarati ghazal and emphasized on the need to derive innovative works from the language itself. His ghazals mainly revolved around subjects like love, social paradoxes, contemporary life, and God.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

==Awards==
He received the [[Shayda Award]] in 2014. He also received the Ravji Patel Award in 2014, instituted by [[Gujarat Samachar]] and Samanvay, as well as the Yuva Puraskar (2014) instituted by [[Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad]], [[Kolkata]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title = Gujarati Sahityakar Kosh|last = Shukla|first = Kirit|publisher = Gujarat Sahitya Akadami|year = 2013|isbn = 9789383317028|location = Gandhinagar|pages = 244}}</ref>

'''Everard Richard Calthrop''' (3 March 1857 – 30 March 1927) was a British [[railway]] [[engineer]] and [[inventor]]. Calthrop was a notable promoter and builder of [[narrow-gauge railway]]s, especially of {{RailGauge|2ft6in|lk=on}} [[narrow gauge]], and was especially prominent in India. His most notable achievement was the [[Barsi Light Railway]], but he is best known in his home country for the [[Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway]]. Calthrop has been described as a "railway genius".<ref name=Bennett>Bennett, Paul
''Pickled Passengers – The Narrow Gauge number 219''. Narrow Gauge Railway Society.</ref> Later in life he took an interest in [[aviation]], patenting some early designs for [[parachute]]s.

==Early life and career==
Calthrop was born on 3 March 1857, the eldest son of farmer Everard Calthrop. He had six brothers, one of whom was [[Guy Calthrop|Sir Guy Calthrop]], general manager of the [[London and North Western Railway]]. The family lived at [[Deeping Fen]], [[Lincolnshire]], where Calthrop was born, and later at [[Sutton-in-the-Isle|Sutton]] in the [[Isle of Ely]]. Calthrop was educated at [[Uppingham School]].<ref name=Hughes>Hughes, Hugh 1994 ''Indian Locomotives Pt. 3, Narrow Gauge 1863-1940''. Continental Railway Circle.</ref><ref name=Gratton>Gratton, Robert, 2005,''The Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway'', RCL Publications.</ref>

Calthrop started work with [[Robert Stephenson and Company]] and then was apprenticed to the London & North Western Railway at [[Crewe]] in 1874. In 1879 he joined the [[Great Western Railway]], where he rose to assistant manager of the Carriage and Wagon Works. In 1882 he went to India to join the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]] as a [[locomotive]] inspector.<ref name=Hughes/><ref name=Turner>Turner, Keith 1980, ''The Leak and Manifold Light Railway'', Newton Abbot, David & Charles.</ref>

Once in India, Calthrop came to see narrow-gauge railways as a way to help develop the country. This led him to chairing a Government committee to investigate light railways throughout India. He then published a pamphlet entitled ''A System of Standard Details as applied to the Construction of Rolling Stock in India''. As a result of this pamphlet, the Indian Government adopted systems of uniformity of gauge and equipment throughout the country, and eventually adopted {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} gauge as the standard narrow gauge throughout the country.<ref name=Gratton/>

Calthrop requested leave in 1886 to investigate proposals for independent branch lines. He identified two schemes of particular interest, a {{convert|5|mi|km|0|adj=on}} tramway connecting the [[Hindu]] religious centre of [[Nasik]] with the railway, and a {{convert|21|mi|km|adj=on}} branch line to the town of [[Barsi]]. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway approved both schemes, and Calthrop surveyed both lines. In 1887, he registered the Indian Railways Feeder Lines Company in London to promote the construction of feeders to the railway. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway suggested that he either return to his duties as a locomotive inspector or, with their support, resign to further promote branch lines. His health was failing, and so in 1889 Calthrop resigned from the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. Working as a consultant he then supervised the construction of the {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} gauge horse-powered [[Trams in India#Nasik|Nasik Tramway]], using his previous survey.<ref name=Gratton/>

==Move to Liverpool==
Returning to the United Kingdom in 1892, Calthrop established a railway engineering consulting practice in [[Liverpool]], where three of his brothers had started a [[Fodder|stockfeed]] company. Soon Calthrop had entered into a partnership with them and spent much of the next two years designing equipment for feed production. He took out a number of [[patent]]s relating to the equipment and to [[refrigerate]]d transport.<ref name=Gratton/>

While Calthrop was resident in Liverpool, the [[Chamber of Commerce]] was concerned future expansion was being limited by the railway companies that linked that city with [[Manchester]], and invited proposals for alternative methods for moving goods. Calthrop proposed a system of narrow-gauge railways linking the two cities, running along streets directly serving factories. His proposal was highly commended, but the proposed street running precluded its adoption.<ref name=Gratton/>

Calthrop was also interested in road transport. He was a member of the Self-Propelled Traffic Association and in May 1898 was a judge at their trials for "motor vehicles for heavy traffic", held in Liverpool. The winner was a [[Thornycroft]] 4-ton [[steam wagon]]. Later he was a foundation member of the [[Royal Automobile Club]].<ref name=Gratton/>

==Development of narrow-gauge concepts and the Barsi Light Railway==
During his time in India Calthrop developed his ideas on the construction of narrow-gauge railways. He surmised that the [[axle load]] on the [[axle]]s of all [[rolling stock]], including locomotives, could be equal, allowing a maximum loading of goods wagons. He settled on a loading of {{convert|5|LT|t ST|1}} per [[Axle load|axle]], which was light enough to allow railway lines to be built with {{convert|30|lb/yd|kg/m|1|abbr=off|lk=in}} [[Rail profile|rail]]. It also allowed the loading of one {{convert|20|LT|t ST|1}} capacity 4-wheel standard-gauge wagon to be carried on a single bogie narrow-gauge wagon. Further, he argued that using a track gauge of {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} gave the greatest capacity as a percentage of capital cost. He estimated a {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} gauge railway could be built to four times the length of a standard-gauge railway for the same capital cost.<ref name=Gratton/><ref name=Calthrop>Calthrop, E. R., 1997,''Light Railway Construction'', Plateway Press.</ref>

Calthrop had been engaged in negotiations with the Indian government for concessions to build a railway from Barsi Road to Barsi since 1887. In 1895, negotiations reached a satisfactory conclusion, and Calthrop formed a new company to build the [[Barsi Light Railway]], and employed himself as consulting engineer.<ref name=Gratton/> The railway became a showcase for his ideas. Five [[0-8-4]]T locomotives, with even distribution of axle load, were constructed to Calthrop's specification by [[Kitson & Co.]] The goods rolling stock was constructed on common {{Convert|25|x|7|ft}} pressed steel underframes, reducing [[tare weight]] and maximising potential wagon loads.

Calthrop recognised the importance of railways in warfare, and designed the rolling stock to facilitate the movement of troops and equipment.<ref name=Calthrop/> Rolling stock rode on pressed-steel [[Fox bogie]]s, using the [[Timmis system]] of [[Coil spring|double coiled springs]].<ref name=Engineering>anon ''Engineering'' 12 January 1897.</ref> The line was constructed with rail inclination, then a new idea, which involves tilting the rail a few degrees to make its surface more nearly parallel with that of the tyre. Inclination is now applied universally to railways.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.narrow-gauge-pleasure.co.uk/rlyleekandmanifold.html |title=The Leek and Manifold Light Railway |access-date=2008-06-02 |author=Lewis, Nick |work=Narrow Gauge Pleasure |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509050715/http://www.narrow-gauge-pleasure.co.uk/rlyleekandmanifold.html |archive-date=9 May 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The rolling stock could accept {{convert|100|ft|m|2|adj=on}} radius curves.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article61295829 |title=Light Railways for the Colonies. |newspaper=[[The Daily Examiner|Clarence and Richmond Examiner (Grafton, NSW : 1889–1915)]] |location=Grafton, NSW |date=16 August 1898 |access-date=15 August 2012 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

Prior to shipment of the rolling stock to India, Calthrop and the manufacturer ([[Leeds Forge Company]]) conducted tests on a specially-built test track located at [[Newlay]], near [[Leeds]]. The line was opened for inspection by railway officials and journalists, and a number of reports were published in the technical railway press.<ref name=NGIRMR>anon ''E R Calthrop & the Newlay Exhibition'' Narrow Gauge & Industrial Railway Modelling Review No. 69 Jan 2007</ref>

The Barsi Light Railway opened in 1897, and was extended on a number of occasions until it reached a total length of {{Convert|202|mi|km}} in 1927.<ref name=Hughes/> The line is seen as having revolutionised the narrow-gauge railway system on Indian subcontinent,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.irfca.org/articles/isrs/isrs082004-steam-history.html |title=Steam in History |access-date=2008-06-02 |author=Bhandari, R R |work=The IRFCA Server |publisher=Indian Railways Fan Club}}</ref> and the railway was immensely successful, establishing Calthrop as one of the leading figures in the field.<ref name=Turner/> Calthrop remained consulting engineer until he retired due to poor health two years before his death.<ref name=Gratton/> The Barsi Light Railway continued to be operated as a privately owned railway until 1954 when it was purchased by the Indian government, and continued to operate as a narrow-gauge railway until conversion to [[broad gauge]] began in the late 1990s as part of [[Indian Railways]] conversion program for all metre- and narrow-gauge lines.<ref name=Marshall>Marshall, Lawrence C., 2001 ''Indian Narrow Gauge Steam Remembered'' Plateway Press, East Harling</ref>

==Involvement in other railways==
With the success of the Barsi Light Railway, Calthrop was in demand as a consultant for other narrow-gauge railway projects.<ref name=Turner/>

===Barbados Railway===
{{main|Barbados Railway}}
The [[Barbados Railway]] opened in 1883 as a {{RailGauge|3ft6in|lk=on}} gauge railway from [[Bridgetown]] to [[Saint Andrew, Barbados|St Andrew]], [[Barbados]]. By 1897, the railway and its rolling stock was in very poor condition. Further, much of the railway had been constructed with rail too light for the locomotives. A new company was established in 1898 to rebuild and operate the railway, and Calthrop was engaged as consulting engineer. Calthrop arranged for the railway to be rebuilt in {{RailGauge|2ft6in|lk=on}} gauge, and had [[Baldwin Locomotive Works]] build four new locomotives, two [[2-8-2]]T's, a [[2-6-0]]T and an [[0-6-0]]T.<ref name=Horsford>Horsford, Jim 2004 ''From the Caribbean to the Atlantic: a brief history of the Barbados Railway''. Locomotives International.</ref>

===Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway===
{{main|Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway}}
Calthrop appeared at the Light Railway Inquiry for the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway on 3–4 August 1897, and spoke particularly on the proposed open level crossings and the use of [[transporter wagon]]s. Calthrop claimed it only took three minutes to transfer wagons, based on his experience on the Barsi Light Railway. However, the order was not made until 8 September 1899, and in early 1900, the proprietors reached agreement with the [[Cambrian Railways]] to build the line. Their engineer, Alfred J. Collins, took charge of the engineering requirements, with consequent conservative 4-wheel wagons and other provisions.<ref name=Cartwright>Cartwright R.J., 2002, ''The Welshpool and Llanfair'', Rail Romances</ref>

===Victorian Railways narrow-gauge lines===
{{main|Victorian Railways}}
In 1898 Calthrop corresponded with the government of the colony of [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia, regarding proposals for the construction of [[Narrow-gauge lines of the Victorian Railways|narrow-gauge lines]] in that colony. Subsequently, on his advice, the gauge of the railways as built was changed from {{RailGauge|2ft|lk=on}} to {{RailGauge|2ft6in}}.<ref name=Downs>Downs, Edward A. 1963 ''Speed Limit 20''. Australian Railway Historical Society.</ref>

===Fayoum Light Railway===
{{main|Fayoum Light Railway}}
Calthrop was appointed to advise on engineering matters for this {{RailGauge|750mm|lk=on}} gauge [[Egypt]]ian light railway, construction of which began in 1898. The railway comprised seven, mostly roadside, branch lines with a total length of {{convert|97|mi|km}}. The Fayoum Light Railway served an irrigation district south of [[Cairo]], centred on the provincial capital of [[Medinet-el-Fayum]]. Calthrop used pictures of rolling stock from the railway to illustrate a chapter he wrote for the book ''Pioneer Irrigation and Light Railways''.<ref name=Gratton/>

===Serbian narrow-gauge railways===
Calthrop was one of several foreign concessionaires involved with the initial development of {{RailGauge|760mm|allk=on}} gauge railways in Serbia after 1898.<ref name=Chester>Chester, Keith. 2008 ''The Narrow Gauge Railways of Bosnia-Hercegovina''. Frank Setvalls Forlag, Malmo.</ref>

===Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway===
{{main|Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway}}
The Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway was a {{Convert|12.3|mi|km|adj=on}} long standard-gauge branch line linking the Great Western Railway at [[Cleobury Mortimer]] in [[Shropshire]] with mineral deposits in the [[Clee Hills]]. Calthrop was appointed Consulting Engineer in 1900, responsible for surveying the route and preparing the construction plans.<ref name=Gratton/>

===Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway===
{{main|Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway}}
In the United Kingdom Calthrop is most associated with the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway. The line had been promoted under the [[Light Railways Act 1896|Light Railways Act]], and the initial plan was to build a railway of {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} gauge to be powered by [[electricity]]. Under the influence of one of the Light Railway Commissioners the company directors commissioned a report on the proposed line from Calthrop in mid-1900. In early December the railway's engineer died, and on 19 December 1900 the Directors sat down to consider both a replacement and Calthrop's report. Calthrop proposed specifications for the line which would result in substantial savings in construction costs, and so he was offered the position of engineer, which he promptly accepted.<ref name=Turner/>

Calthrop constructed the line for £35,944, £11,000 less than the original estimate. He had Kitson & Co construct two 2-6-4T locomotives, similar in outline but smaller than the Barsi Light Railway locomotives. Goods rolling stock included four coaches, two [[bogie]] open wagons and one bogie van, once again similar to Barsi stock. He also introduced four [[transporter wagon]]s, designed to transport [[standard-gauge]] wagons. Each station on route had a short section of standard-gauge track where the wagons could be placed. The use of transporter wagons eliminated transshipment, and removed the need for large numbers of goods wagons.<ref name=Turner/>

===Matheran Light Railway===

{{main|Matheran Hill Railway}}
The [[Matheran Hill Railway|Matheran Light Railway]] is a mountain railway near [[Mumbai]], India, and opened in 1905. Unusually for a railway for which Caltrhrop was consulting engineer, it was of {{RailGauge|2ft}} gauge, with tight curves and 1 in 20 (5%) [[Grade (slope)|grades]]. Calthrop designed a 0-6-0T with [[Klein-Linder]] articulated coupled axles to provide a flexible wheelbase, and four were supplied by [[Orenstein & Koppel]]. Calthrop's firm also supplied the wagon stock and the points and crossings for the railway.<ref name=Hughes/><ref name=Gratton/><ref name=Bhandari>Bhandari, R.

===Arakan Light Railway===
[[File:Arakan Light Railway Garratt.jpg|thumb|One of the Garratt locomotives supplied to the Arakan Light Railway]]
In 1910 Calthrop was engaged as consulting engineer by the promoters of a new railway between [[Buthidaung]] and [[Maungdaw]] in [[Burma]], later known as the [[Arakan Light Railway]]. Calthrop had the proposed gauge changed from {{RailGauge|2ft}} [[narrow gauge]] to {{RailGauge|2ft6in|lk=on}} narrow gauge. For this railway Calthrop had built two {{whyte|0-6-0+0-6-0}} [[Garratt locomotive]]s, to which he had attached plates reading "E.R.Calthrop's System of Narrow Gauge Mountain Railways".<ref name=Parkes>Parkes, Kevin, 1993, ''The Arakan Light Railway'' Indian Railways Study Group Newsletter issue 8, January 1993</ref> Calthrop was an early adopter of the Garratt type, this being the ninth order for Garratts taken by [[Beyer-Peacock]], and the smallest Garratt design ever built by them.<ref name=Durrant>Durrant,A.E. 1981, ''Garratt Locomotives of the World'' David & Charles</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Hughes|first=H.C. |title=Garratts in Arakan: The forgotten Buthidaung-Maungdaw Tramway and its articulated locomotives |magazine=Railway Magazine |volume=112 |date=November 1966|pages=624–625 |issue=787 }}</ref>

==Patents for parachutes==
[[File:The horse, as comrade and friend BHL24291193.jpg|thumb|left|Calthrops black "Guardian Angel" parachute]]

Calthrop was a close personal friend of [[Charles Rolls]], of [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]] fame. Rolls was a pioneer aviator, being the first man to fly across the [[English Channel]] in both directions. On 12 July 1910 Calthrop accompanied him to the Bournemouth International Aviation Meeting, and was present when Rolls died after he lost control of his [[biplane]] and crashed. That and a similar, non-fatal, accident involving his son Tev, led Calthrop to believe that a parachute could be used to save pilots in similar circumstances.<ref name=Gratton/>

In 1913 he patented his first [[parachute]]. As [[World War I]] progressed he continued to develop his parachute. In 1915 he offered it to the [[Royal Flying Corps]], and successful tests were completed at the time.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWparachutes.htm |title=Parachutes |access-date=2008-06-02 |author=Simkin, John |work=Spartacus Educational |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515225235/http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWparachutes.htm |archive-date=15 May 2008 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> An unofficial report offered the opinion that parachutes "might impair the fighting spirit of pilots" and the offer was rejected. Calthrop was encouraged to remain quiet about his invention, but faced with increasing losses of pilots he publicised the parachute in 1917. Despite a campaign by some pilots, the Royal Flying Corps declined to introduce parachutes during World War I, although air forces of most other nations did so.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=2503 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130421050106/http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=2503 |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 April 2013 |title=Technology and the First World War, Parachutes and the class war |access-date=2008-06-02 |author=Simkin, John |work=History Teachers' Discussion Forum |publisher=schoolhistory.co.uk }}</ref>

Calthrop's "Guardian Angel" parachute received much praise and was used during the war to drop agents behind enemy lines. In October 1918 an article on use of parachutes<ref>"The Problem of the Parachute", The Motor Cycle, 17 October 1918</ref> stated that the "Guardian Angel" was one of the best known and that "balloonists can take their perilous leap, when attacked by a Hun scout, with real confidence in a safe landing". By 1918 it was known that the Germans were fully aware of Calthrop's work, and supplied their pilots with a similar design. However, when the Royal Air Force finally adopted parachutes after the war, they chose an American design.<ref name=Gratton/>

In 1916 Calthrop also patented an [[Ejection seat|ejector seat]] for aircraft using [[Pneumatics|compressed air]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/PROJECT/YEAR_Pages/1910s.htm |title=1910s |access-date=2008-06-02 |author=Bennett, Michael C. |work=Ejection seat history |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101122095053/http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/PROJECT/YEAR_Pages/1910s.htm |archive-date=22 November 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Private life==
[[File:The horse, as comrade and friend BHL24291165.jpg|thumb|Image as depicted in ''The Horse, as Comrade and Friend'', published in 1920]]

During his time in India, Calthrop made occasional trips back to Britain. On one such trip he married Isabel Mary Earle, the daughter of the Reverend Walter Earle, a friend of his parents. The wedding took place on 19 November 1890 at the [[Bilton, Warwickshire|Bilton]] Parish Church, [[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]]. They had four children, Everard Earle (Tev, b. 1892), Keith de Suffield (b. 1894), Isabelle Iris (b. 1895), and Betty Marion (b. 1899). Tev joined the army and became a Colonel in the [[Royal Engineers]], while Keith, after a stint in the Royal Engineers went on to become Assistant General Manager and Mechanical Engineer of the Barsi Light Railway, a post he held until 1932.<ref name=Gratton/>

Calthrop had a great interest in breeding [[Arabian horse]]s. Following the long-term rental of a villa in Goldings Road, [[Loughton]], Essex, he purchased a permanent home, Goldings, at Clays Lane in Loughton,<ref>{{cite book |last=Pond |first=Chris |title=The buildings of Loughton and notable people of the town |year=2003}}</ref> with stables and {{convert|40|acre|m2}} of grounds. It was here that he bred his horses and developed his theories of horse training. Calthrop rejected the cruel methods of breaking horses common in that era, and practiced gentle methods. Such was his concern for his horses that he had them humanely destroyed rather than have them commandeered by the British army at the start of the [[First World War]]. After the war he was able to return to his horses, and wrote an authoritative book, ''The Horse, as Comrade and Friend'', published in 1920. Calthrop was a prominent member of the [[Arab Horse Society]], and received commendations for his stallion, Fitz, at its first show in 1919.<ref name=Gratton/>

Developing and promoting his parachute had left Calthrop drained, both financially and physically. Failing health forced him to resign his position as consulting engineer for the Barsi Railway in 1925, although he remained a director. Calthrop died at his [[Paddington]], London, home on 30 March 1927, in the company of his son, Tev. He was seventy years old.<ref name=Gratton/>

Calthrop is commemorated by a [[blue plaque]] on Goldings, unveiled in June 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.loughton-tc.gov.uk/2bhpl.htm |title=Blue Heritage Plaques |access-date=2008-08-15 |work=Loughton Town Council |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080827195716/http://www.loughton-tc.gov.uk/2bhpl.htm |archive-date=27 August 2008 }}</ref>

The '''2014–15 Senior Women's Cricket Inter Zonal Two Day Game''' was the inaugural season of [[India]]'s [[Senior Women's Cricket Inter Zonal Three Day Game|Inter Zonal]] women's [[First-class cricket|first-class]] competition. Five teams representing regions (or "zones") of India competed in a [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] league, playing four two-day matches. All matches were held at grounds in [[Kolkata]]. [[Central Zone women's cricket team|Central Zone]] won the tournament, winning three matches on first innings. The tournament replaced the [[Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition]].

==Competition format==
The five teams played in a [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] league, therefore playing four matches each. Matches were played using a [[First-class cricket|two-day format]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/24/Inter_Zone_Womens_Two_Day_Competition_2014-15.html |title=Inter Zone Women's Two Day Competition 2014/15 |work=CricketArchive |access-date=19 July 2021}}</ref>

The league worked on a points system with positions within the league being based on the '''total points'''. Points were awarded as follows:<ref name="Table"/>

'''Win''': 6 points. 
'''[[Result (cricket)#Tie|Tie]]''': 3 points. 
'''Loss''': 0 points. 
'''Drawn (lead after first innings)''': 3 points 
'''Drawn (trail after first innings)''': 1 point 
'''Drawn (no decision on first innings)''': 1 point 
'''Abandoned without a ball bowled''': 1 point

If points in the final table are equal, teams are separated by most wins and then by their quotient (runs per wicket for divided by runs per wicket against).

==History==
TMT Center is designed by architect [[George Wittet]], in 15 acres of land surrounded by trees, lawns, pathways and flower beds, which once belonged to F. E. Dinshaw. In 1918, Dinshaw acquired the services of Wittet, the consulting architect to the Government of [[Bombay]], to build him a country home.

'''Manyu''' ({{Langx|sa|मन्यु|lit=passion}}) is a war god in [[Historical Vedic religion|Vedic Hinduism]]. He is a deity referenced in the [[Rig veda|Rigveda]], with hymns dedicated to him in the eponymous [[manyu sukta|Manyu Sukta]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Mysore Orientalist, Volume 18|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vwdkAAAAMAAJ|page=161|publisher=Oriental Research Institute, University of Mysore|year=2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Vicāravaibhavam|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q8coAAAAYAAJ|author=V. R. Panchamukhi|publisher=Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha|year=2000|page=227|quote=The commentary Manyu Sūkta by Sri Dhirendratirtha interprets Manyu as Narasimha - who is the internal controller of Rudra and who is the embodiment of knowledge.}}</ref>

== Literature ==
{{Hindu mythology}}

=== Vedas ===
The hymns of the [[Rigveda]] extol Manyu as the "slayer of foes", "self-existent", "wielder of the thunder", and "much-invoked". Manyu is identified with deities such as [[Indra]], [[Varuna]], and [[Agni]]. These hymns urge Manyu to grant treasure and wealth, strength in battles, and overwhelm the enemy with terror.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Griffith |first=Ralph T. H. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XhxaDwAAQBAJ&dq=manyu+rigveda&pg=PA505 |title=The Hymns of the Rigveda |date=1920 |publisher=Jazzybee Verlag |isbn=978-3-8496-7241-6 |pages=505 |language=en}}</ref>

The [[Atharvaveda]] also mentions the deity in a hymn dedicated to [[Kamadeva|Kama]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pAspAAAAYAAJ&dq=manyu+rigveda&pg=PA6-IA5 |title=The Pandit |date=1895 |publisher=E.J. Lazarus |pages=6 |language=sa}}</ref>

=== Brahma Purana ===
The [[Brahma Purana]] describes the origin of Manyu. It states that a terrible war was once waged between the [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]] and the [[Asura|asuras]], in which the former were defeated. The devas are stated to have travelled to the Gautamī river valley, where they performed a penance to propitiate [[Shiva]]. The destroyer deity is said to have produced Manyu from his third eye, and presented him to the devas. In the subsequent battle that followed, Manyu's assistance allowed the devas to gain victory.<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2015-07-28 |title=Manyu: 15 definitions |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manyu |access-date=2022-11-11 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>

=== Bhagavata Purana ===
Shiva is referred to as Manyu in the [[Bhagavata Purana]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2022-08-13 |title=Appeasement of Rudra—Revival of Dakṣa [Chapter 6] |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-bhagavata-purana/d/doc1127090.html |access-date=2022-11-11 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>

=== Associations ===
Manyu is also described to be one of the eleven [[Rudras]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2019-01-28 |title=Story of Rudra |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/compilation/puranic-encyclopaedia/d/doc241891.html |access-date=2022-11-11 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>

Some philosophers like [[Madhvacharya|Madhavacharya]] have posited that Manyu is merely an epithet of [[Narasimha]], an avatar of [[Vishnu]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Panchamukhi |first=Vadiraj Raghawendracharya |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q8coAAAAYAAJ&q=manyu+narasimha |title=Vicāravaibhavam |date=2000 |publisher=Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha |pages=216, 227 |language=en}}</ref>
