Perry played an integral part in Australia's triumphant [[2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20|2010 World Twenty20]] campaign in the [[West Indies]]. Against [[India national women's cricket team|India]] in the semi-finals, she took 1/19 in the first innings.

Two balls later, Indian captain [[Jhulan Goswami]] was run out by [[Alex Blackwell]]. Perry then had Raut out caught from the next delivery to fully turn the momentum of the match, with India losing 3/1 in the space of four balls.

== Playing style ==<br />
In cricket, Perry is an [[all-rounder]] who bats right-handed and bowls right-arm [[fast bowling|pace]].<ref name="cricinfo" /><ref name="cricketaus" /><ref name=":21" /> She is also a highly skilled fielder with safe hands and a strong throwing-arm.

{{update|date=December 2022}}<br />
[[File:JudgeMehta102715 crop.jpg|thumb|Judge Mehta in 2015]]<br />
<br />
In May 2019, Mehta ruled that accounting firm [[Mazars]] had to provide its records of [[Donald Trump]]'s accounts from before his presidency to the [[House Oversight Committee]] in response to their subpoena.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/politics/mazars-trump-records/index.html|title=Judge orders Trump accounting firm to hand over records to Congress|first=Katelyn|last=Polantz|website=[[CNN]]|date=May 20, 2019}}</ref> In a 41-page opinion, he asserted that Congress has the right to investigate potential illegal behavior by a president, including actions both before and after the president assumed office.<ref name = upholds>{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/20/judge-upholds-dem-subpoena-for-trump-financial-records-1335370|title=Judge upholds Dem subpoena for Trump financial records|last1=Desiderio|first1=Andrew|last2=Cheney|first2=Kyle|date=May 20, 2019|work=[[Politico]]|access-date=21 May 2019}}</ref> The ruling will be appealed by Trump's personal legal team.<ref name = upholds/><br />
<br />
In July 2019, Mehta sided with the pharmaceutical firms [[Merck & Co.]], [[Eli Lilly and Company]], and [[Amgen Inc.]] by blocking a [[First presidency of Donald Trump|Trump administration]] rule requiring drugmakers to put prices in television ads, a central part of the president's push to lower the cost of prescription medications. The goal of the rule was to increase transparency; Mehta ruled that requiring big pharmaceutical companies to disclose prices to consumers in television advertisements was something that could be done only by the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services|Department of Health and Human Services]] if mandated by Congress.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://freepdfhosting.com/9f12cc13ab.pdf|title=MERCK & CO., INC., et al., vs US Dept.

<br />
==== January 6 Capitol attack-related cases ====<br />
Mehta has presided over several cases related to the [[January 6 United States Capitol attack]]. He has charge of the criminal prosecution of [[Oath Keepers]] founder [[Stewart Rhodes]] for [[seditious conspiracy]].<ref name=":3">{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/02/18/stewart-rhodes-jail-seditious-conspiracy/|title=Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes ordered to be jailed until trial on seditious conspiracy|last=Hsu|first=Spencer S.|date=February 18, 2022|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=19 February 2022}}</ref> He is also presiding over three civil lawsuits against Trump and multiple associates, in which several members of Congress and two police officers are suing for damages for physical and emotional injuries they allegedly incurred during the attacks. <br />
<br />
On February 18, 2022, Mehta issued a lengthy opinion that rejected [[Donald Trump|Trump]]'s claim of "absolute [[Legal immunity|immunity]]" from lawsuits, finding that his actions were not part of his presidential duties, and that there was plausible evidence to suggest he engaged in a [[conspiracy (crime)|conspiracy]] with organized groups to use any means, including violence, to [[Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election|overturn the results]] of the [[U.S. presidential election, 2020|2020 election]]. The opinion allows the case to proceed, with the plaintiffs demanding documents, depositions, and other evidence from Trump and members of the Oath Keepers and [[Proud Boys]]. Mehta dropped several other co-defendants from the suit, including [[Rudy Giuliani]], [[Donald Trump Jr.]], and Representative [[Mo Brooks]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/02/18/jan6-trump-lawsuit/|title=U.S. judge rejects Trump claim of 'absolute immunity' from Jan. 6 lawsuits|last=Hsu|first=Spencer S.|date=February 18, 2022|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=19 February 2022}}</ref><br />

===Google antitrust case===<br />
{{Main|United States v. Google LLC (2020)}}<br />
On August 5, 2024, Mehta ruled that [[Google]] is a monopoly and has violated antitrust laws.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Feiner |first1=Lauren |title=Judge rules that Google 'is a monopolist' in US antitrust case |url=https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/5/24155520/judge-rules-on-us-doj-v-google-antitrust-search-suit |website=The Verge |date=5 August 2024 }}</ref> In September 2025, he ruled that Google would not be required to divest of [[Google Chrome|Chrome]] or [[Android (operating system)|Android]], but would be barred from including [[Google Search|Search]] in exclusive contracts and required to share certain [[Search engine indexing|search index]] and user interaction data with competitors.<ref>{{cite news|last=Elias|first=Jennifer|date=September 2, 2025|title=Google stock jumps 8% after search giant avoids worst-case penalties in antitrust case|publisher=CNBC|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/02/google-antitrust-search-ruling.html|access-date=September 2, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Liedtke|first=Michael|date=September 2, 2025|title=Google avoids breakup in search monopoly case, but judge orders other changes in landmark ruling|publisher=Associated Press|url=https://apnews.com/article/google-search-antitrust-remedies-chrome-846916fda0943c5fa359385044a02c8b|access-date=September 2, 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Personal life ==<br />
Mehta is as an avid fan of [[hip hop music]].<ref name=":0" /> In a 2015 [[Copyright law of the United States|copyright case]] regarding the similarity of two songs, Mehta noted in a footnote that he was "not a 'lay person' when it comes to hip-hop music and lyrics," and noted he has "listened to hip hop for decades". American rappers [[Jay-Z]], [[Eminem]], [[Kanye West]] and Canadian rapper [[Drake (musician)|Drake]] are among his favorite artists.<ref name=":1" /><br />

==Plot==<br />
There are two friends, Ramarajan and Rajkiran, who for reasons unknown, prefer to call themselves Dhoni and Sehwag, respectively. They have nothing better to do than hang around together, booze, and tease pretty girls. Dhoni does not believe in the idea of working but is still in search of a government job, knowing very well that he is not likely to get it. Kanaka, a police constable, is the daughter of Dhoni’s maternal uncle, and though their families want them to marry, neither is interested.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Dhoni, while going for an interview, meets and falls in love with Seetha. He is so impressed by her that when he meets the ugly-looking, buck-toothed local councillor Aishwarya, who has promised him a job, he hugs her and declares his undying love for her, believing her to be Seetha. Though he apologizes to her, the much older Aishwarya is now very much in love with Dhoni and is determined to marry him. She gives money to Sehwag so that he separates Dhoni and Seetha's love. Sehwag arranges Dhoni's sister's friends to pose as his lover to separate him. Seetha believes this rumor and breaks up with him. Dhoni blames Seetha as the "accused no. 1" who cheated him. He then learns that it was Sehwag's plan to separate him, so he ends their friendship.<br />
<br />
Aishwarya's fat brothers record Sehwag's speech scolding Aishwarya in an inebriated state. In the early morning, Dhoni attends Kanaka's marriage but is shocked that Sehwag is the marriage groom. Seetha still mistakes Dhoni as a womaniser when she sees the same girl coming out misunderstanding. The girl tells all the truth to Dhoni about the plan which was overheard by Seetha. Aishwarya tries to kidnap Seetha but instead gets kidnapped by Beerpal who mistakes her to be Seetha in order to take revenge on her for rejecting his love. After the marriage, Dhoni scolds Seetha alone himself for loving him then Seetha arrives at that place and again misunderstands him, she urges him to commit suicide. Meanwhile, Varadharajan is searching for Dhoni, who disappeared from home. Seetha is feeling guilty for his disappearance and also thinks that he might have committed suicide. Dhoni arrives at their home, saying he disappeared from home to conduct the marriage of Aishwarya and Beerpal. The film ends with Dhoni and Sehwag uniting with their lovers happily.<br />

The film opened to negative reviews from critics.

<br />
Behindwoods wrote: "The audiences watch Shiva's films purely for the comedy and this film could have done without the few scenes of gory violence, especially since it features Santhanam too, but instead it stretches itself into death and mourning segments that hamper the proceedings".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ya Ya Movie Review Ya Ya Movie Review |url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/ya-ya/ya-ya-review.html |access-date=22 February 2018 |website=behindwoods.com}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Baradwaj Rangan]] of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote "The trouble with Ya Yaa is that it isn’t even much of a comedy — its rhythms are those of drama...if gags are all you’re after, why not go all-out absurd like The Naked Gun movies?"<ref>{{Cite news |date=21 September 2013 |title=Ya Ya: Comic con |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/ya-ya-comic-con/article5153555.ece |access-date=4 August 2019 |work=The Hindu}}</ref><br />

<br />
'''Modern Meitei poetry''' ({{Script|Mtei|ꯑꯅꯧꯕ ꯃꯩꯇꯩꯂꯣꯟ ꯁꯩꯔꯦꯡ / ꯑꯅꯧꯕ ꯃꯅꯤꯄꯨꯔꯤ ꯁꯩꯔꯦꯡ}}) refers to poetic works composed in the [[Meitei language]] (also known as [[Manipuri language]]) from the 20th century onward, particularly before and after [[World War II]]. Marked by a shift from romantic and traditional themes to contemporary concerns, it explores issues such as political unrest, cultural dislocation, and personal identity. Influenced by modernist and postmodernist trends, it features experimentation with form, language, and symbolism, reflecting the changing social and intellectual landscape of [[Manipur]].<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265.">Singh, Ch Manihar (1996). "The Modern Period | Pre-World War II Literature | Poetry ; | Post-World War II Literature | Poetry". A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265. ISBN 978-81-260-1586-3.</ref><br />
<br />
The period before WWII saw the birth of modern Meitei poetry. Poets like Chaoba, Kamal, and Angahal used their talents to bring the Meitei language and literature back to life. They blended tradition with new ideas, and even though each had a different style and focus, together they laid the foundation for future [[Meitei literature]].<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
After World War II, Meitei literature saw a major shift from romantic and traditional poetry to more modern, realistic, and experimental styles. A new generation of young, urban poets emerged, expressing disillusionment with society, politics, and traditional values through bold imagery and free forms influenced by global movements like symbolism and surrealism. While some older poets continued writing in classical styles, the younger voices brought a fresh, often critical perspective that marked a turning point in Meitei poetry.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
== Pre World War II ==<br />
<br />
Before World War II, modern Meitei literature began to take shape, mainly because of three important writers: Khwairakpam Chaoba ({{Script|Mtei|ꯈ꯭ꯋꯥꯏꯔꯥꯛꯄꯝ ꯆꯥꯎꯕ}}), Lamabam Kamal ({{Script|Mtei|ꯂꯃꯥꯕꯝ ꯀꯃꯜ}}), and Hijam Angahal ({{Script|Mtei|ꯍꯤꯖꯝ ꯑꯉꯥꯡꯍꯜ}}). Their writings helped people appreciate the beauty of their own language and sparked interest in Meitei literature, which had been neglected for years. These writers worked in many forms—poetry, novels, dramas, essays, and more.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
=== Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh (1896–1950) ===<br />
<br />
Chaoba ({{Script|Mtei|ꯆꯥꯎꯕ}}) was born in [[Imphal]] and passed his high school exams in [[Shillong]] in 1918. Though he was a smart student, he had to leave college in Kolkata due to illness and became a teacher. His job helped deepen his love for his mother tongue, Meitei language. He realized that earlier Meitei literature had once flourished but had now become inaccessible.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Rajkumar Mani. Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi">Singh, Rajkumar Mani. Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi, 2002.</ref><br />
<br />
In his first poem, he praised the natural beauty of Manipur and expressed hope for new poets. He famously said, “Ignorant is he who speaks of the poverty of my mother tongue,” and this inspired others to write as well.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Rajkumar Mani. Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
His poem Chhatra Macha ({{Script|Mtei|ꯁꯥꯇ꯭ꯔꯥ ꯃꯆꯥ}}) helped Manipuri gain recognition from [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta University]]. Although he wrote many prose works, his poetry is where he truly stood out. His poems were serious and well-structured. In his early poems, like “To a Flower on the Hill-Side” and “On Seeing the Lotus”, he reflected on death and the shortness of life. Later, his poems became more positive and celebrated nature and divine beauty, such as in “Mankind” and “Loktak Mapanda” ({{Script|Mtei|ꯂꯣꯛꯇꯥꯛ ꯃꯄꯥꯟꯗꯥ}}).<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Rajkumar Mani. Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
He was religious and often experienced emotional highs while worshipping [[Jagannath]]. His poems were influenced by traditional devotional songs but didn't fully succeed in bringing back old vocabulary.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Rajkumar Mani. Khwairakpam Chaoba Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
=== Lamabam Kamal Singh (1899–1935) ===<br />
<br />
Kamal ({{Script|Mtei|ꯀꯃꯜ}}), born in 1899, also passed his exams from [[Shillong]] in 1922. Though he wanted to study humanities, he was made to study medicine and became a doctor. He loved reading and was familiar with both English and Bengali literature.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Lamabam Damodar. L. Kamal Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi">Singh, Lamabam Damodar. L. Kamal Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi, 2000.</ref><br />
<br />
If Chaoba is called a romantic poet, Kamal fits that label even more. He loved nature and wanted peace, often using beautiful Bengali words for his poem titles. His first poem, Abhinandan ({{Script|Mtei|ꯑꯚꯤꯅꯟꯗꯟ}}), celebrated the revival of Meitei literature. He often pointed out how people were ignoring their language and culture in favor of foreign ones.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Lamabam Damodar. L. Kamal Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
In poems like “Silent Night” and “Solitude”, Kamal shows how he found deep meaning and wisdom in nature. He believed nature understood people better than other humans could. In “Universal Love”, he described love as powerful and beyond scientific understanding.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Lamabam Damodar. L. Kamal Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
He didn't focus as much on form or rhythm like Chaoba or Angahal, but his poetry was musical and influenced by poets like Tagore.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Lamabam Damodar. L. Kamal Singh. India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
=== Hijam Angahal Singh (1892–1951) ===<br />
<br />
Angahal ({{Script|Mtei|ꯑꯉꯥꯡꯍꯜ}}) was the oldest of the three. He left school after class V due to poverty and worked as a petition writer in court. Despite little formal education, he had a strong command of his language and culture. He was a devout Vaishnava and a kind, humble man.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi">Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi, 1997.</ref><br />
<br />
His short poems often talked about patriotism, devotion, and moral values. For example, in one poem, he mourned a fallen tree and ended with a lesson. Some poems were satirical, poking fun at pride or foolishness. Others dealt with serious themes like slavery, such as “Wa-Tannaba” ({{Script|Mtei|ꯋꯥ ꯇꯥꯟꯅꯕ}}) and “Meenai Luhongba” ({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯤꯅꯥꯏ ꯂꯨꯍꯣꯡꯕ}}), which criticized a society that denied freedom even in marriage.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
Angahal used a form of poetry called payar (rhymed 14-syllable couplets), but his poetry lacked the grace of Chaoba's or Kamal's.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
His poetic story Shingel Indu ({{Script|Mtei|ꯁꯤꯡꯉꯦꯜ ꯏꯟꯗꯨ}}), set during the time of Maharaja Chandrakirti, tells the love story of Gopal and Indu, who grew up like siblings but fell in love. The story ends happily, but the emotional depth was not fully explored.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
His greatest work, though, was the [[Khamba Thoibi Sheireng|Khamba Thoibi Seireng]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯈꯝꯕ ꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯁꯩꯔꯦꯡ}}), a massive epic with 34,000 lines. It mixed ancient and modern Meitei language words and told a dramatic tale using [[blank verse]] and payar. The story is full of tension, romance, war, and drama, based on traditional Meitei legends. His poetic skill and imagination made this his masterpiece.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><ref name=":Dīnamaṇi Siṃha, Elaṃbama., Akademi, Sahitya. Hijam Anangal Singh (Manipuri Writer). India: Sahitya Akademi" /><br />
<br />
=== Other Important Poets ===<br />
<br />
Hawaibam Nabadwipchandra Singh ({{Script|Mtei|ꯍꯋꯥꯏꯕꯝ ꯅꯕꯗ꯭ꯋꯤꯕꯆꯟꯗ꯭ꯔ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ}}; 1897–1946) left school early but became a teacher and supported education. He translated [[Michael Madhusudan Dutt]]’s Meghanad Badh Kavya into Meitei, which earned him great praise, even though he didn't finish the full work.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Arambam Dorendrajit ({{Script|Mtei|ꯑꯔꯥꯝꯕꯝ ꯗꯣꯔꯦꯟꯗ꯭ꯔꯖꯤꯠ}}; 1907–1944) was dedicated to Meitei literature. His epic poem Kangsa Bodh ({{Script|Mtei|ꯀꯪꯁ ꯕꯣꯙ}}), written in Western style, is his most important work. Though inspired by Michael Dutt, Dorendrajit gave it his own touch. His language experiments were creative and he combined Indo-Aryan and local words. In his story, though Kangsa is the focus, Krishna becomes the true hero due to Dorendrajit's religious leanings.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />

[[Hijam Irabot]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯍꯤꯖꯝ ꯏꯔꯥꯕꯣꯠ}}); 1896–1951) started the first Manipuri literary journal Meitei Chanu ({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯆꯅꯨ}}) in 1922. A man of many talents, he is considered the first modern Meitei poet with his 1924 book Seidam Seireng ({{Script|Mtei|ꯁꯩꯗꯝ ꯁꯩꯔꯦꯡ}}).<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature.

<br />
== Post World War II ==<br />
{{Further|Anglo-Manipur War|Battle of Imphal}}<br />
<br />
After World War II, some early Meitei literary figures had already passed away or stopped writing. Kamal and Anganghal died before and during the war. Chaoba, who lived until 1950, had stopped writing creatively by 1940. His last major work was Labanga Lata. He only wrote a few essays afterward.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Poets like A. Minaketan and R.K. Shitaljit continued to publish after the war, but their writing styles and ideas didn't change much, despite the war and the political/social upheavals. Their works, like Ketuki ({{Script|Mtei|ꯀꯦꯇꯨꯀꯤ}}), Eekhoulangba ({{Script|Mtei|ꯏꯈꯧꯂꯥꯡꯕ}}), and Vidyai Asirbad ({{Script|Mtei|ꯕꯤꯗ꯭ꯌꯥꯏ ꯑꯥꯁꯤꯔꯕꯥꯗ}}), felt more like they were written before the war, not reflecting the new world.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
By this time, Manipur was going through political tension about whether it should join India. The rise of many political parties led to confusion and frustration among the people, especially the youth.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
In 1949, E. Nilakanta Singh ({{Script|Mtei|ꯑꯦꯂꯥꯡꯕꯝ ꯅꯤꯂꯀꯥꯟꯇ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ}}), then a student, published the poem Manipur. It captured the uneasy mood of the time—global fears of nuclear war and local political instability. His poem was not very emotional but more intellectual, using images to express complex feelings. However, his later poetry didn't match the strength of Manipur.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
=== Rise of a New Generation ===<br />
<br />
Nilakanta's poem inspired a group of young poets who started expressing frustration with modern life. These poets were urban, educated, and experimental. They used symbols, modern language, and new poetic forms. At first, their poetry shocked readers, but people soon saw the truth in what they were saying.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Notable poets like Thangjam Ibopishak, R.K. Madhubir, and Yumlembam Ibomcha wrote poems expressing sadness, loss of faith, and frustration with modern society. They questioned traditional values, mocked outdated morals, and highlighted feelings of loneliness and disconnection. Their style broke away from emotional, romantic poetry of the past and instead used harsh, sometimes disturbing images to reflect reality.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
They were influenced by Western literary movements like Imagism, Symbolism, Surrealism, and the works of T.S. Eliot. For example, Ibopishak's poems like Footpath, Dustbin, and Morgue and Sri Biren's Rotten Fish reflect this modern, raw style.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Poetry collections by these poets in the late 1960s and 70s marked a clear shift from the old, emotional, romantic style to a new, realistic, and sometimes cynical one.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
=== Impact ===<br />
<br />
Some critics feel these young poets tried too hard to be complex or shocking. Their poems could be hard to understand and focused too much on the darkness of life. But they were genuine in their effort and helped modern Meitei poetry grow up. Poetry was no longer about sweet emotions—it now talked about real life, struggles, and the human condition.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
New poets were expected to be thoughtful and intelligent, to express their personal experiences, and to use strong, meaningful language and rhythm. The young poets succeeded in pushing Meitei poetry into a more modern direction.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />

Laishram Somorendra Singh ({{Script|Mtei|ꯂꯥꯏꯁ꯭ꯔꯝ ꯁꯣꯃꯣꯔꯦꯟꯗ꯭ꯔꯣ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ}}), a senior poet, wrote satirical and witty poetry about society. His poems often looked cheerful on the surface but had deep meanings. For example, in Black Trousers, he shows how modern youth have lost direction.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
He also criticized greedy businessmen and fake politicians, but in a humorous way. His major works include ''"The Lotus Blooms in the East"'' <br />
({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯃꯥꯡ ꯂꯩꯀꯥꯏ ꯊꯝꯕꯥꯜ ꯁꯥꯠꯂꯦ}}) and ''"The Story of a Village."''<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
=== More Young Voices ===<br />
<br />
Many other young poets also contributed to this new wave of poetry, such as:<br />
<br />
Tokpam Ibomcha, Sagolsem Dhabal, Ratan Kumar Thiyam, Nabachandra Hamom, Brajakumar Sarma, Imo Meetei, and Ibempishak Devi. Their themes ranged from personal emotion to reflections on society and philosophy.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Notably, some poets were from outside Manipur (like in Assam's [[Cachar district|Cachar District]]), showing the spread of this literary movement.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
=== Old Tradition Continues ===<br />
<br />
While the new style took center stage, traditional poetry was still alive.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /> Older poets like:<br />
<br />
R.K. Surendrajit Singh, Khumanthem Ibohal, Minaketan Singh, and Nilbir Sastri continued writing in the older, more romantic and classical style.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Of them, R.K. Surendrajit ({{Script|Mtei|ꯔꯥꯖꯀꯨꯃꯥꯔ ꯁꯨꯔꯦꯟꯗ꯭ꯔꯖꯤꯠ}}) stood out. His poetry had rich language, hopeful themes, and influences from Tagore. He encouraged poets not to just dream, but to fight the problems of the real world. He believed both tradition and modernity could coexist.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Minaketan Singh ({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯤꯅꯀꯦꯇꯟ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ}}), a respected figure, tried hard to create a unique style, but his poetry sometimes felt forced. He also translated major works from other languages, but his writing sometimes lacked emotional depth. Still, some of his short poems had real charm.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />
<br />
Others like Kalachand Sastri, Nilbir Sastri, and Sanjenbam Nodiachand also continued in the traditional path, though not always successfully.<ref name=":A History of Manipuri Literature. India: Sahitya Akademi. pp. 219–229, 255–265." /><br />

He was born in [[Raipur]], Chhattisgarh<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=स्पर्श भाग 2|publisher=NCERT|isbn=81-7450-647-0|location=New Delhi|pages=127|language=hi|chapter=कारतूस|chapter-url=http://ncertbooks.prashanthellina.com/class_10.Hindi.Sparsh/ch-17.pdf}}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> (erstwhile Madhya Pradesh) to Hafiz Ahmed Khan, who hailed from [[Peshawar]].He passed his matriculation from Laurie Municipal High School, [[Raipur]],<ref name=":0" /> and later completed his B.A. from Morris College, [[Nagpur]] in 1944. Thereafter he studied M.A. for a year at [[Aligarh Muslim University]] .<br />
Early in life, he started writing poetry using his pen name ''Takhallus''. Soon after, he assumed his name, Habib Tanvir.<br />
<br />
===Career===<br />
[[File:Khalid Abidi,Prof. Desnavi,Playwright Habib Tanvir.jpg|thumbnail|Khalid Abidi, Prof. Desnavi Playwright Habib Tanvir.]]<br />
In 1945, he moved to Bombay, and joined [[All India Radio]] (AIR) Bombay as a producer. While in Bombay, he wrote songs for Urdu and Hindi films and even acted in a few of them. He also joined the [[Progressive Writers' Association]] (PWA) and became an integral part of [[Indian People's Theatre Association]] (IPTA) as an actor. Later, when most of the prominent IPTA members were imprisoned for opposing the British rule, he was asked to take over the organisation.<br />
<br />
In 1954, he moved to New Delhi, and worked with Qudsia Zaidi's Hindustani Theatre, and also worked with Children's theatre, where he authored many plays. Later in the same year, he produced his first significant play ''Agra Bazar'' based on the works and times of the plebeian 18th-century Urdu poet, [[Nazir Akbarabadi]], an older poet in the generation of [[Mirza Ghalib]]. For this play he brought together local residents and folk artistes from [[Okhla]] village in Delhi and students of [[Jamia Millia Islamia]] creating a palette never seen before in Indian theatre. Additionally, the play was not staged in a confined space, rather a bazaar, a marketplace.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Beyond The Fourth Wall |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?250267 |author=Shama Zaidi |author-link=Shama Zaidi |date=22 June 2009|magazine=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]] }}</ref> After this, he continued to work with non-trained actors and folk artistes like the folk artists of Chhattisgarh.<br />
<br />
===Stay in Europe===<br />
In 1955, when he was in his 30s, Habib moved to England. There, he trained in Acting at [[Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts]] (RADA) <ref name=":0" />(1955) and in Direction at [[Bristol Old Vic Theatre School]] (1956). For the next two years, he travelled through Europe, watching various theatre activities. One of the highlights of this period, was his eight-month stay in [[Berlin]] in 1956, during which he got to see several plays of [[Bertolt Brecht]], produced by [[Berliner Ensemble]], just a few months after Brecht's death.<ref>[http://www.samarmagazine.org/archive/article.php?id=56 Habib Tanvir:samar, 2001] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070730170634/http://www.samarmagazine.org/archive/article.php?id=56 |date=30 July 2007 }}</ref> This proved to have a lasting influence on him, as in the coming years, he started using local idioms in his plays, to express trans-cultural tales and ideologies. This, over the years, gave rise to a "theatre of roots", which was marked by an utter simplicity in style, presentation and technique, yet remaining eloquent and powerfully experiential.<br />
<br />
===Return to India===<br />
A deeply inspired Habib returned to India in 1958 and took to directing full-time. He produced ''Mitti ki Gaadi'' a post-London play, based on [[Śudraka|Shudraka]]'s Sanskrit work, [[Mrichakatika]]. It became his first important production in [[Chhattisgarhi]]. This was the result of the work he had been doing since his return&nbsp;– working with six folk actors from Chhattisgarh. He went on to found "Naya Theatre", a theatre company in 1959.<br />
<br />
In his exploratory phase, i.e. 1970–73, he broke free from one more theatre restriction&nbsp;– he no longer made the folk artistes, who had been performing in all his plays, speak Hindi. Instead, the artistes switched to Chhattisgarhi, a local language they were more accustomed to. Later, he even started experimenting with "[[Pandavani]]", a folk singing style from the region and temple rituals. This made his plays stand out amidst the gamut of plays which still employed traditional theatre techniques like blocking movements or fixing lights on paper. Spontaneity and improvisation became the hallmark of his new theatre style, where the folk artistes were allowed greater freedom of expression.<br />
<br />
His next venture with Chhattisgarhi ''Nach'' style, saw another breakthrough in 1972, with a staging of the play titled ''Gaon Ka Naam Sasural, Mor Naam Damaad''. This was based on a comic folk tale, where an old man falls in love with a young woman, who eventually elopes with another young man.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050407220639/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2005/01/02/stories/2005010200570500.htm The Hindu, 2 January 2005]</ref><br />
<br />
By the time he produced his seminal play, ''[[Charandas Chor]]'' in 1975, the technique became popular. This play immediately established a whole new idiom in modern India theatre; whose highlight was ''Nach''&nbsp;– a chorus that provided commentary through song. He also brought in [[Govind Ram Nirmalkar]], a noted Nacha artist who would later go on to win [[Padma Shri]] and [[Sangeet Natak Akademi Award]]s, to play the lead role.<ref name="Govind Ram Nirmalkar&nbsp;— Sangeet Natak Akademi profile">{{cite web|url=http://sangeetnatak.gov.in/sna-awards-2012/Citation/034-GobindRamNirmalkar.htm |title=Govind Ram Nirmalkar&nbsp;— Sangeet Natak Akademi profile |publisher=Sangeet Natak Akademi |date=2016 |access-date=February 12, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305191608/http://sangeetnatak.gov.in/sna-awards-2012/Citation/034-GobindRamNirmalkar.htm |archive-date=5 March 2016 }}</ref> Later, he collaborated with [[Shyam Benegal]], when he adapted the play to a feature-length film, by the same name, starring Smita Patil and Lalu Ram. He was awarded the prestigious [[Jawarharlal Nehru Fellowship]] in 1979 for research on ''Relevance of Tribal Performing Arts and their Adaptability to A changing Environment''.<ref>{{cite web| title = Official list of Jawaharlal Nehru Fellows (1969-present)|work = [[Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund]] | url = http://www.jnmf.in/flist.html }}</ref> In 1980, he directed the play ''Moti Ram ka Satyagraha'' for Janam ([[Jan Natya Manch]]) on the request of [[Safdar Hashmi]].<br />
<br />
During his career, Habib has acted in over nine feature films, including [[Richard Attenborough]]'s film, ''[[Gandhi (film)|Gandhi]]'' (1982), ''Black and White'' and in a yet-to-be-released film on the Bhopal gas tragedy.<br />
<br />
His first brush with controversy came about in the 1990s, with his production of a traditional Chhattisgarhi play about religious hypocrisy, ''Ponga Pandit''. The play was based on a folk tale and had been created by Chhattisgarhi theatre artists in the 1930s. Though he had been producing it since the sixties, in the changed social climate after the [[Babri Masjid]] demolition, the play caused quite an uproar amongst Hindu fundamentalists, especially the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), whose supporters disrupted many of its shows, and even emptied the auditoriums, yet he continued to show it all over.<ref>[http://www.countercurrents.org/comm-hariharan031103.htm Ponga Pandit controversy]</ref><br />
<br />
His Chhattisgarhi folk troupe, surprised again, with his rendition of [[Asghar Wajahat]]'s ''Jisne Lahore Nahin Dekhya'' in 1992. Then in 1993 came ''Kamdeo Ka Apna Basant Ritu Ka Sapna'', Tanvir's Hindi adaptation of Shakespeare's ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''.<ref>[http://sia.stanford.edu/india/tanvir.doc Traveling Shakespeares in India] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626114155/http://sia.stanford.edu/india/tanvir.doc |date=26 June 2007 }}</ref> In 1995, he was invited to the United States by the Chicago Actors Ensemble, where he wrote his only English language play, ''The Broken Bridge''. In 2002, he directed ''Zahareeli Hawa'', a translation of ''[[Bhopal (play)|Bhopal]]'' by the Canadian-Indian playwright Rahul Varma, based on the [[Bhopal disaster|Bhopal Gas Tragedy]]. During his illustrious career he brought works from all genres to stage, from ancient Sanskrit works by Shudraka, Bhasa, Vishakhadatta and Bhavabhuti; to European classics by Shakespeare, Molière and Goldoni; modern masters Brecht, Garcia, Lorca, Gorky, and Oscar Wilde; Tagore, Asghar Wajahat, Shankar Shesh, Safdar Hashmi, Rahul Varma, stories by Premchand, Stefan Zweig and Vijaydan Detha, apart from an array of Chhattisgarhi folk tales.<br />

<br />
=== Summary ===<br />
[[Bengaluru FC|Bengaluru]] took an early lead through the fifth tournament goal from [[Sivasakthi Narayanan]] in the 10th minute that was converted from a long ball delivered from the deep by [[Aleksandar Jovanovic (footballer, born 1989)|Aleksandar Jovanovic]], which put the Mumbai City's captain [[Mourtada Fall]] under pressure with Narayanan on his shoulder. After [[Lallianzuala Chhangte]] had the first chance for [[Mumbai City FC|Mumbai City]] in the 17th minute, they got the equalizer at the half-hour mark when [[Sandesh Jhingan]] gave away a free kick and [[Ahmed Jahouh]] played on [[Greg Stewart (footballer)|Greg Stewart]], who went on one of his runs and took a left-footed grounder towards goal which [[Gurpreet Singh Sandhu]] fended off, but Apuia tapped home the rebound with ease. The Blues almost went ahead in the 38th minute, when, off [[Naorem Roshan Singh|Roshan Singh]]'s corner, a rebound fell for [[Roy Krishna]] and he shot towards goal, but Chhangte brought off a stunning goal-line save. The Islanders' next closest chance for a lead came from [[Vinit Rai]] after being played on by Stewart but shot over from close. The only other notable incident of the first half was the match's first yellow card that turned up for Fall in the 44th minute after he elbowed down Krishna near the penalty box.<br />
<br />
The game resumed for the second half with a similar intensity and only five minutes after resumption, Jahouh delivered a measured long ball that fell for Chhangte, who got away from Jovanovic and Jhingan, but with just the keeper to beat, the shot went wide out. At the hour mark, the Blues earned the long-awaited lead in the game, when off the captain [[Sunil Chhetri]]'s corner aimed at the far post, [[Alan Costa]] jumped and nailed a header into the back of the Islanders' net. The most notable chance for Mumbai City in the second half came through [[Alberto Noguera]] in the 77th minute when he went on a solo run from midfield and took a powerful shot which beat Gurpreet but struck the left post to deflect away. Chhetri also had a couple of scoring opportunities, including one in the 69th minute when his left-footed strike missed the target and one in the 87th minute when he was one-on-one with the keeper, but [[Phurba Lachenpa]] was up to it and brought off a brave save. With six minutes of time added on, Mumbai City made constant efforts for an equaliser and Stewart came close to score in the final seconds with a free kick which ultimately went wide, and the final culminated with Bengaluru winning their first-ever Durand Cup.<br />

The '''Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation''' was the apex body for formulation and administration of rules and regulations relating to the development and regulation of the water resources in [[India]]. The Ministry was formed in January 1985 following the bifurcation of the then Ministry of Irrigation and Power, when the Department of Irrigation was re-constituted as the Ministry of Water Resources. In July 2014, the Ministry was renamed to "Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation", making it the [[National Ganga River Basin Authority]] for conservation, development, management, and abatement of pollution in the river [[Ganges]] and its tributaries{{efn|Ministry of National Resources and Scientific Research (1951-52)<br />

'''Operation Battleaxe''' (15–17 June 1941) was a [[British Army]] offensive during the [[Second World War]] to raise the [[Siege of Tobruk]] and re-capture eastern [[Cyrenaica]] from [[Nazi Germany|German]] and [[Kingdom of Italy|Italian]] forces.{{efn|An earlier code-name was Operation Bruiser and it was still referred to as such in telegrams to and from London.<ref>Churchill (2001), p. 1097</ref><ref>Connell, p. 483</ref> Churchill and Rommel also called this action "The Battle of Sollum".<ref>Churchill (2001), p. 872</ref><ref>Rommel, p. 146</ref>}} It was the first time during the war that a significant German force fought on the defensive. The British lost over half of their tanks on the first day and only one of three attacks succeeded.<br />
<br />
The British achieved mixed results on the second day, being pushed back on their western flank and repulsing a big German counter-attack in the centre. On the third day, the British narrowly avoided disaster by withdrawing just ahead of a German encircling movement. The failure of Battleaxe led to the replacement of [[General (United Kingdom)|British General]] Sir [[Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell|Archibald Wavell]], [[Commander-in-Chief]] [[Middle East Command|Middle East]], by [[Claude Auchinleck]]; Wavell took Auchinleck's position as Commander-in-Chief, India.<br />

<br />
In late March 1941, soon after the arrival of the {{lang|de|[[Afrika Korps]]}} in [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]], [[Libya]] to reinforce the Italians, the Axis forces quickly captured the British [[front line]] position at [[El Agheila]] and by mid-April, had reached as far as [[Sallum]], [[Egypt]]. The British held the fortified port of [[Tobruk]], which was besieged by the Axis. Having been informed by General Wavell that the [[Western Desert Force]] was vastly inferior to the Axis forces now in Africa, Churchill ordered that a convoy of tanks and [[Hawker Hurricanes]], [[Malta Convoys#May – Operation Tiger|Operation Tiger]] (Convoy WS 58), be sailed through the Mediterranean instead of around the [[Cape of Good Hope]] to cut forty days off the journey.<ref>Playfair, p. 114</ref>{{efn|The convoy comprised five {{convert|15|kn|mph+km/h|abbr=on}} merchant ships, {{SS|Clan Chattan||2}}, {{SS|Clan Lamont||2}}, {{SS|Clan Campbell|1937|2}}, ''[[Empire Song]]'' and ''New Zealand Star''. The ships carried 295 tanks and 53 Hurricane fighters.<ref name="Playfair, p. 116"/>}}<br />
<br />
===Tobruk===<br />
{{Main|Siege of Tobruk}}<br />
<br />
The German Armed Forces High Command (''[[Oberkommando der Wehrmacht]]'') sent General [[Friedrich Paulus]] to Africa to investigate the situation. On 12 May, Paulus, after witnessing one of Rommel's failed attempts to assault Tobruk, sent a report to OKW describing Rommel's position as weak, with critical shortages of both fuel and ammunition. With [[Operation Barbarossa]] imminent, [[Field Marshal (Germany)|Field Marshal]] [[Walther von Brauchitsch]], Commander-in-Chief of the [[German Army (Wehrmacht)|German Army]], ordered Rommel not to advance further or attack Tobruk again.<ref name="TSWW166">Bradley, p. 166</ref><br />
<br />
===Operation Brevity===<br />
{{Main|Operation Brevity}}<br />
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-443-1589-07, Nordafrika, Rommel in Befehlsfahrzeug.jpg|right|thumb|[[Erwin Rommel]] in his command halftrack, [[Sd.Kfz. 250|Sd.Kfz. 250/3]].]]<br />
Through [[Ultra (cryptography)|Ultra]] intercepts, the British also received the report by Paulus. Churchill, believing that one strong push would dislodge German forces, began to increase the pressure on Wavell to attack.<ref name="TSWW166"/> [[Operation Brevity]] was quickly planned as a limited operation to seize Sollum, [[Halfaya Pass]] and [[Fort Capuzzo]], then advance on Sidi Aziz and Tobruk. The operation was to continue as far as supply would allow but not risk the forces committed; the objective was to destroy as much Axis equipment as possible and secure a foothold for the larger Operation Battleaxe, once the new tanks were made available.<ref name="Playfair, p. 116">Playfair, p. 116</ref><ref name ="MedII163">Playfair, p. 163</ref> Brevity began on 15 May and Fort Capuzzo and Halfaya Pass were captured but next day [[William Gott]], concerned that his [[22nd Guards Brigade]] would be destroyed if caught in the open by Germans tanks, decided to pull almost the entire force back to Halfaya Pass. The operation ended on 17 May, with only the Halfaya Pass captured. The pass was retaken by a small German force on 27 May, in [[Operation Skorpion]].<ref>Playfair, p. 162</ref><ref>Rommel, p. 137</ref><br />
<br />
===Greece and Crete===<br />
By the end of May, the [[Greece|Greek]] island of [[Crete]] had been captured in the [[Battle of Crete]], providing the ''Luftwaffe'' with more airfields from which to attack Allied shipping and protect their supply convoys and troops in Cyrenaica; delaying Battleaxe could mean stronger Axis opposition.<ref>Hall, p. 189</ref> The British Chiefs of Staff stated that it was imperative that control be wrested in the area between Sollum and [[Derna, Libya|Derna]] and British air power be re-established there.<ref name="MedII163"/><br />
<br />
==Prelude==<br />
===Tiger Convoy===<br />
On 12 May, the Tiger convoy arrived in [[Alexandria]] with {{nowrap|238 tanks}} and {{nowrap|43 Hurricanes}} consisting of {{nowrap|21 [[Light Tank Mk VI]],}} {{nowrap|82 Cruiser}} tanks (including fifty of the new [[Crusader tank]]s) and {{nowrap|135 Matilda II [[Infantry tank]]s.}}<ref>Playfair, pp. 118–119</ref><ref>Pitt, p. 294</ref> There were delays in unloading the tanks, which also had to be adapted for desert use, so Battleaxe was postponed until 10 June.<ref name="Playfair, p. 164">Playfair, p. 164</ref> The tanks were intended for the [[7th Armoured Division (United Kingdom)|7th Armoured Division]], which had been out of action since February, after most of its tanks had worn out during [[Operation Compass]].<ref>Playfair, pp. 1–2, 32, 163–164</ref><br />
<br />
===British plan===<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleaxeContestedArea.svg|thumb|{{center|The contested frontier area of Operation Battleaxe.}}]]<br />
On 28 May, Wavell gave his orders for Operation Battleaxe, an operation in three stages; the Axis forces were to be defeated on the frontier and the area of Halfaya, Sollum, Capuzzo and Sidi Aziez was to be secured. In the second phase, XIII Corps was to secure the area around Tobruk and El Adem, then the areas of Derna and [[Mechili]] were to be captured.<ref name="MedII163"/> The plan was based on intelligence information, which incorrectly indicated that {{frac|2|3}} of the German tank strength was at Tobruk, which would put the British at a decisive material advantage on the frontier.<ref name="RoyalNav135">Brown, p. 135</ref> The attack was originally scheduled for 7 June, but was pushed back at the insistence of General O'Moore Creagh, whose squadrons did not receive their tanks until 9 June. The new date was 15 June, giving Creagh five days for additional training.<ref name="Crucible295">Pitt, p. 295</ref><br />
<br />
In the first stage, the British would advance in a three-prong assault to clear the frontier region. Along the coast was Coast Force and inland was Escarpment Force. The former was responsible for capturing Halfaya Pass, while the latter was to capture the remainder of the frontier at Fort Capuzzo, Musaid and Sollum.<ref name="messervy119">Maule (1961), p. 119</ref> The 7th Armoured Brigade Group and the [[artillery]] of the Support Group were to engage and destroy the German tanks, which were thought to be at [[Hafid Ridge]]. This would also trap Axis units on the frontier between themselves and the remainder of the British forces. After capturing the frontier, the brigades of the 7th Armoured Division would reform and continue north to relieve Tobruk. Once joined by the Tobruk garrison, the combined forces would press on to the west, driving the Germans as far back as possible.<ref name="DesertFox37">Delany, p. 37</ref><br />
<br />
Three days prior to the start of Battleaxe, to help soften the Axis forces, the Royal Air Force was to bomb Benghazi while all aircraft capable of ground attack were to bomb Axis movement on the frontier.<ref name="TSWW166"/> Once the battle began, fighters were to patrol defensively over Allied ground forces, while medium bombers were to stand by to engage Axis columns.<ref name="TSWW166"/> Such was the priority on Battleaxe that [[Arthur Tedder, 1st Baron Tedder|Arthur Tedder]] (Air Officer Commander-in-Chief, Middle East) was instructed by the Chiefs of Staff to accept significant risks in other theatres by diverting all possible air support for it.<ref name="TSWW166"/> Beresford-Peirse and Tedder established headquarters well to the rear, at [[Sidi Barrani]] and [[Baggush Box|Maaten Baggush]].<ref>Crucible, p. 296</ref> Beresford-Peirse chose Sidi Barrani as, even though it was more than a five-hour drive from the battlefield, it was equipped with the most advanced airfield for reconnaissance aircraft and was also the most forward position from which communications could be maintained with Maaten Baggush.<ref name="Playfair166"/><br />
<br />
===Axis preparations===<br />
<br />
[[File:PanzersJune1941.jpg|thumb|German tanks advance in the desert shortly before the Battle of Sollum.]]<br />
Though Brevity had failed to yield any territory to the British, it showed Rommel that his front line defences were quite easy to breach. Anticipating further British attacks, the Axis forces created a line of fortified positions from Halfaya to [[Sidi Aziz]], placing a number of [[anti-tank gun]]s and [[anti-tank mine]]s on the Halfaya Pass, Point 206 (south of Forth Capuzzo) and on Point 208 (west of Fort Capuzzo on the Hafid Ridge).<ref>Moorehead, p. 121</ref> The primary responsibility of the frontier defence was charged to the [[German 33rd Infantry Division|15th ''Panzer'' Division]], which had received a new commander, General [[Walter Neumann-Silkow]], on 8 June.<ref name="Playfair, p. 164"/> Poor signals security in the 7th Armoured Division gave Rommel nine hours notice of the operation.<ref>''Intelligence and Strategy: Selected Essays'', p. 222</ref> Rommel sent the [[5th Light Division]] to the south of Tobruk, ready to use it against either the Sollum area or on Tobruk and ordered a big artillery bombardment of Tobruk the night before the operation, to prevent the Allied garrison from breaking out.<ref>''Afrikakorps (Third Reich)'', p. 52</ref><br />

===15 June===<br />
<br />
[[File:BattleaxeDay1.PNG|thumb|The first day of Operation Battleaxe]]<br />
For the RAF, everything went according to plan on the first day. Axis supply columns and airfields had been hit repeatedly up to the start of the attack and once the operation began, and British columns were able to move unmolested from their starting points at [[Sofafi]] and [[Buq-Buq]] to their destinations covered by RAF fighters. Axis aircraft managed only six attacks that day.<ref>Playfair, 1960, p. 167</ref> On the eastern side, at 05:15, Coast Force—commanded by Brigadier [[Reginald Savory]] and charged with capturing Halfaya Pass, started to move on to their objective.<ref name= "valour284">''Valour Enshrined: A History of the Maratha Light Infantry'', p. 284</ref> On the [[escarpment]] was the ''Halfaya Group'', composed of the 2nd Battalion [[Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders]], the 13 tanks (twelve Matildas and one light tank) of C Squadron, 4th Royal Tank Regiment (which had captured Halfaya Pass during Operation Brevity) and an artillery battery from the 31st Field Regiment.<ref name="TheTanks84">Liddell Hart, p. 84</ref><ref name="TheTanks78">Liddell Hart, p. 78</ref> To their east and below the lip of the escarpment were the 1st Battalion 6th [[Rajputana Rifles]] and 2nd Battalion 5th [[Mahrattas|Mahratta Light Infantry]], two troops of A Squadron, 4th Royal Tank Regiment and a few [[Ordnance QF 25 pounder|25-pounder]] guns.<ref name="TheTanks83"/><ref>Playfair, 2004, p.165</ref><br />
<br />
At 05:40, British artillery for the Halfaya Group was scheduled to open fire on the German and Italian forces in Halfaya, to cover the tanks and infantry but the battery had become bogged down by soft sand.<ref name="TheTanks85">Liddell Hart, p. 85</ref> After waiting until 06:00, 15 minutes after the fighting began to the west below the escarpment, the commander of C Squadron ordered his tanks to attack at the top of the pass; soon after, the [[Anti-tank warfare#Anti-tank guns|anti-tank guns]] of the defenders opened fire and within a few hours all but one light tank and one of the Matildas had been destroyed, including Miles' own.<ref name="TheTanks84"/> The Cameron Highlanders were soon driven back by a detachment of German [[Armored car (military)|armoured cars]] and [[motorised infantry]].<ref name="Messervy120">Maule (1961), p. 120</ref> Below the escarpment four of the Matildas were disabled by anti-tank mines which were supposed to have been cleared; this blocked the path of the remaining two and reduced the small tank force to acting in a [[Bunker|pillbox]] capacity.<ref name="TheTanks83"/> The Rajputana Rifles and Mahrattas made several attempts to reach the pass but were repelled each time; the former lost their commanding officer in the final attack.<ref name="Messervy121">Maule, p. 121</ref><br />
<br />
In the centre, the 7th Royal Tank Regiment reached Fort Capuzzo by noon and scattered the defenders, who retreated north to join the 15th ''Panzer'' Division, between them and Bardia.<ref name="DesertFox39">Delany, p. 39</ref> Soon afterwards, they faced several counter-attacks by a battalion from the 8th ''Panzer'' Regiment of the 15th ''Panzer'' Division. After being joined by the 22nd Guards Brigade, they faced the final and largest counter-attack at 18:30 but managed to repulse it.<ref name="Crucible299">Pitt, p. 299</ref> These were not serious assaults, as Rommel would not commit the 15th ''Panzer'' Division to battle without more information on the situation. The 8th ''Panzer'' Regiment skirmished briefly and then feigned a disorderly retreat to lure Matilda tanks into a chase into range of concealed anti-tank guns. Neither side took much damage from these actions.<ref name="DesertFox41">Delany, p. 41</ref> In response to the British capture of Capuzzo and concerned with a possible attack on Sollum and Bardia, Rommel ordered the 5th Light Division to Sidi Azeiz ready for a possible counter-attack.<ref>''Afrikakorps (Third Reich)'', p. 56</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ItaloGariboldi.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5|Italo Gariboldi]]<br />
The rest of the 4th Royal Tank Regiment had been used as a flank guard for the 7th Royal Tank Regiment. While B Squadron was kept in reserve, the three remaining troops of A Squadron (12 tanks) had initial success against Battle Position (B.P.) 38, capturing 200 Axis prisoners and eight field guns with virtually no loss. These gains were lost when A Squadron were repelled at Point 206 and German forces counter-attacked at B.P. 38. In the evening, after A Squadron was down to only one remaining tank, the sixteen tanks of B Squadron were brought into action and Point 206 was captured.<ref name= "TheTanks85"/> In capturing these objectives, the British also took over 500 German and Italian prisoners.<ref name="Moorehead127">Moorehead, p. 127</ref> That night, the [[Scots Guards|2nd Scots Guards]]—a battalion of the 22nd Guards Brigade—were able to advance further eastward and capture an outpost at Musaid.<ref>Pitt, p. 302</ref><br />
<br />
On the western side, the 7th Armoured Brigade had placed the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, equipped with older cruiser tanks, in front of the 6th Royal Tank Regiment to use their new Crusader tanks as a surprise. The force reached Hafid Ridge (which actually consisted of three [[ridge]]s) by about 09:00. After 2nd Royal Tank Regiment had crossed over the first ridge, they were attacked at near point-blank range by dug in anti-tank guns, destroying two A9 cruiser tanks before the rest could retreat.<ref name="Crucible299"/> This development posed a serious problem for the brigade, as the cruiser tanks were armed with [[Ordnance QF 2 pounder|2-pounder]] anti-tank guns which lacked the High Explosive (HE) rounds needed to engage infantry and artillery. Artillery support was not available as it was attached to the Support Group in the south-west, was covering the 7th Armoured Brigade's flank.<ref>Playfair, 2004, p.167</ref><br />
<br />
It was decided to attempt a flanking attack while waiting for the artillery to arrive. A small force of tanks from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment was sent to the western part of the Hafid Ridge, with orders to turn into the first valley. The attack went well at first, as the tanks caught the Axis forces unaware and were able to strafe along their trenches with their machine guns, losing only one tank in the process.<ref name= "Crucible299"/> As they approached point 208 on their way eastwards, the commander became aware of its fortifications and ordered his units to disengage; due to an equipment shortage, only one tank per [[troop]] was equipped with a radio and five of his tanks, not receiving the order, continued towards Point 208 and were destroyed by its [[8.8&nbsp;cm Flak 18/36/37/41|88&nbsp;mm]] guns.<ref>Playfair, 2004, pp.167–168</ref><br />
<br />
Soon, reports came in from Allied aircraft that German tanks were approaching and the order was given to clear the ridges to use the advantageous terrain for the upcoming tank battle.<ref name="DesertFox41"/> At 17:30 reports came in from forward observers that the defenders were withdrawing from Hafid Ridge.<ref name="Moorehead127"/> After clearing the first ridge, it looked as though the reports were accurate, as German trucks and towed guns were seen moving away over the second crest. Pursuit began but upon the British forces clearing the second ridge, the Axis forces sprung their trap and fired on the Crusader tanks at near point-blank range; within minutes, 11 of the Crusaders were destroyed and six more heavily damaged.<ref name="Crucible300">Pitt, p. 300</ref> The Axis infantry and anti-tank guns, bereft of entrenchments, also took significant casualties.<ref name="DesertFox41"/> Over thirty German tanks from a battalion of the 5th ''Panzer'' Regiment, part of the 5th Light Division which had earlier been stationed north at Sidi Azeiz, were seen arriving from the west.<ref name="Crucible300"/><br />
<br />
[[File:Defence of Fort Capuzzo by Italian anti-aircraft gunners.jpg|thumb|left|upright=.5|Defence of Fort Capuzzo by Italian anti-aircraft gunners]]<br />
By the end of the first day, Fort Capuzzo had been captured but not Halfaya Pass and Hafid Ridge and the British had lost a significant number of tanks. In the 7th Armoured Brigade, the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment was down to 28 cruiser tanks and the 6th Royal Tank Regiment to only 20 of their 50 Crusaders; many of the tanks which had been damaged, were abandoned in the field as the 7th Armoured Brigade withdrew from Hafid Ridge, leaving them for seizure by German tank recovery teams. The 4th Armoured Brigade, from its original strength of roughly 100 Matildas, was down to 37 (though 11 more were repaired by the following morning).<ref>Pitt, pp. 300–301</ref> German ''panzer'' losses were trifling, though there had been many casualties among the garrisons at Hafid Ridge, Point 206 and Fort Capuzzo. Beresford-Peirse planned to have the 11th Infantry Brigade continue its attack next day on Halfaya Pass, the 22nd Guards Brigade to hold their position and for the 4th Armoured Brigade to reinforce the 7th Armoured Brigade for a combined attack on the outnumbered 5th Light Division.<ref>Delany, pp. 41–42</ref><br />
<br />
Through the wireless intelligence service, Rommel had a fairly clear picture of the British situation, including their losses, problems and the new orders issued by Beresford-Peirse.<ref>Pitt, pp. 301–302</ref> Rommel was concerned for the forces at Halfaya Pass, which were trapped by the 22nd Guards Brigade on one side and the 11th Infantry Brigade on the other and running low on supplies. His plan was to have the 5th Light Division, which by midnight had almost fully reached Sidi Azeiz, drive south towards [[Sidi Omar]] and then east towards Sidi Suleiman and then north-east to Halfaya Pass, approaching the 11th Infantry Brigade from the rear. To prevent the re-deployment of Matildas, either to reinforce the 7th Armoured Brigade as Beresford-Peirse planned or to assist the British forces at Halfaya, Neumann-Silkow was ordered to attack Capuzzo.<ref>Delany, p. 42</ref> He ordered the attacks to begin while still dark, as the British intended to start their operations shortly after dawn.<ref name="Crucible303">Pitt, p. 303</ref><br />
<br />
===16 June===<br />
<br />
[[File:Bach in an Italian battery position Halfaya Pass.jpg|thumb|Bach in an Italian battery position, Halfaya Pass]]<br />
The 11th Infantry Brigade renewed their attack on Halfaya Pass, but met with same failure as the day prior. Bach's forces—though outnumbered and running low on supplies—were now totally surrounded, and thus could not retreat even if they were inclined to do so. Messervy saw this lack of progress and disregarded Beresford-Peirse's orders to release his tanks and decided to retain the few remaining Matildas he had until some breach of the Axis defences could be made.<ref name= "FightingFox43">Delany, p. 43</ref> Neumann-Silkow began his attack on British held Fort Capuzzo at 06:00. He organised the 80 tanks under his command into two columns and attacked Capuzzo from either side.<ref name="Crucible303"/> The attack went poorly from the onset, as the 15th ''Panzer'' Division ran directly into heavy artillery from 25-pounders which had been brought up during the night and Matilda tanks in entrenched positions. By 10:00, the 15th ''Panzer'' Division had lost fifty of its tanks, and by 12:00, they were forced to withdraw.<ref name="Crucible303"/> Soon after the German forces withdrew the Scots Guards advanced further west, capturing the Sollum barracks to prevent Axis forces from either flanking on the east or linking up with the Halfaya garrison.<ref name="FightingFox43"/><br />
<br />
Starting at dawn, the 5th Light Division began to advance southwards past the western edge of Hafid Ridge. The 7th Armoured Brigade kept pace with them to the east, joined by the 7th Support Group as the two forces approached Sidi Omar. During the running skirmish, the British tanks had a few successful attacks against unarmoured German transport vehicles, but they found themselves at a significant disadvantage when they engaged the ''panzer''s, who utilised an extremely effective tactic against them. The [[Panzer IV|''Panzer'' IVs]], armed with high-explosive [[7.5&nbsp;cm KwK 37|{{convert|75|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} gun]]s with an effective range of ~2750 m,<ref name="Crucible304">Pitt, p. 304</ref> would open fire while still well out of the roughly {{convert|460|m|yd|abbr=on}} range of the 2-pounder guns found on British tanks.<ref name="Crucible304"/> While this would do minimal damage to the British tanks, it decimated their towed 25-pounder artillery, which would be forced to withdraw. Without British artillery to concern them, the Panzer IV and [[5 cm KwK 38|{{convert|50|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} gun]] armed [[Panzer III]]s could then safely close range with their British counterparts and pick off the thinly armed cruiser tanks while still remaining beyond the range of the British tank guns.<ref name= "Crucible304"/> If the British tanks attempted to move forward to engage the panzers, the latter would quickly retreat behind a screen of anti-tank guns while lighter armoured elements would begin to move around the British flanks.<ref name="FightingFox43"/> To make matters worse for the 7th Armoured Brigade, they suffered numerous breakdowns.<ref name= "FightingFox43"/> By evening, both regiments of the 7th Armoured Brigade had retreated east of the [[Frontier Wire (Libya)|Frontier Wire]] and the 7th Support Group and withdrawn even further. At 19:00, just as [[dusk]] fell, the 5th Light Division further weakened the 7th Armoured Brigade with an attack which only ended when night fell.<ref name="Crucible306">Pitt, p. 306</ref><br />
<br />
Rommel—who had seen several of the engagements between the 7th Armoured Brigade and 5th Light Division—decided to attempt a full thrust against the 7th Armoured Brigade. At 16:00, he ordered the 15th ''Panzer'' Division to leave only minimal elements at its position north of Fort Capuzzo and make all haste to the northern flank of the 5th Light Division, which was pressing eastward to [[Sidi Suleiman]].<ref name="DesertFox44">Delany, p. 44</ref> He hoped to cut off the majority of the British forces, encircling and then eliminating them. During the afternoon, Wavell had flown to Beresford-Peirse, to simplify the making of decisions. When he arrived, Beresford-Peirse was away, meeting with Messervy and Creagh, where he reconfirmed his orders for the infantry to maintain its attack on Halfaya and hold Capuzzo, while the 4th Armoured Brigade was to join the 7th Armoured Brigade, to confront the 5th Light Division to the west.<ref name="Crucible306"/> That night, on learning of the 5th Light Division advance, Messervy took the initiative and ordered his forces to withdraw and ordered the remaining Matildas of the 4th Armoured Brigade to form a screen, to protect the retreating infantry from the advance of the ''panzers'' to the west.<ref name="DesertFox44"/> The 7th Armoured Brigade had lost more than half of the cruiser tanks operational in the morning and was down to 21 runners.<ref>Moorehead, p. 129</ref> The 4th Armoured Brigade had been reduced to 17 Matildas.<ref>''Afrikakorps (Third Reich)'', p. 60</ref><br />
<br />
===17 June===<br />
At 04:30, Rommel's ''panzer''s began their advance.<ref name="Crucible307">Pitt, p. 307</ref> The 5th Light Division encountered the 7th Armoured Brigade at 06:00 and began pushing them back. By 08:00 that morning, they had reached Sidi Suleiman.<ref>''Ravenstein, Portrait of a German General'', p. 60</ref> At Capuzzo, the early morning movements of the 15th Panzer Division led Messervy to believe another attack was imminent, and he thus cancelled Beresford-Peirse's orders for the 4th Armoured Brigade to reinforce the 7th so that they could be retained.<ref name="TheTanks89">Liddell Hart, p. 89</ref> The combination of the two events caused serious alarm to Creagh, who then sent a message to Beresford-Peirse, requesting his presence for instruction;<ref name="TheTanks89"/> Wavell, who was with Beresford-Peirse, took command of the operation and boarded a plane to Creagh's command post at Halfway House.<ref name="Crucible307"/> This message was also intercepted by the Germans, as Rommel later wrote,<br />

<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Churchill was displeased with the results of Operation Battleaxe. He had been expecting nothing less than complete success and had instead received news that the operation had failed and the tanks sent for it had been lost. Churchill sacked Wavell but could not have it look as though he was being punished or have Wavell return to England, as embarrassing questions could be raised. Churchill had Wavell exchange duties with General [[Claude Auchinleck]], [[Commander-in-Chief, India]].<ref>Crucible, p. 309</ref> Along with Wavell went [[Michael O'Moore Creagh]], who was replaced by Gott.<ref>''Harding of Petherton: Field Marshal'', p. 73</ref><br />
<br />
[[Noel Beresford-Peirse|Beresford-Peirse]] was criticised for both his plan and control of the operation and on 4 October was sent to [[French Sudan|Sudan]] with the position of [[General Officer Commanding]], Sudan.<ref>''Montgomery's Desert Army'', p. 7</ref><ref>Churchill, Winston. ''The Churchill War Papers'', pg.731</ref> Beresford-Peirse took the place of [[William Platt]], who had been promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the newly created [[East Africa Command]].<ref name=LondGazAug21>{{London Gazette |issue=37695 |date=30 August 1946 |page=4220 |supp=y}}</ref> Beresford-Peirse was replaced as commander of XIII Corps by Lieutenant-General [[Alfred Reade Godwin-Austen|Reade Godwin-Austen]], who had been promoted from command of the [[2nd (African) Division|12th (African) Division]] in the [[East African Campaign (World War II)|East African Campaign]].<ref>Playfair, 1956, p.&nbsp;316</ref><br />
<br />
===Casualties===<br />
The Allies had 969 casualties, with 122 killed, 588 wounded and 259 missing. The Germans had 678 casualties, with 93 killed, 350 wounded and 235 missing and the Italians suffered 592 casualties.<ref name="Playfair171">Playfair, p. 171</ref><ref>Greene, p. 73</ref> The British lost 98 tanks (3 light, 30 cruisers and 65 Matildas) and the Axis had roughly 50 disabled, excluding tanks which had been knocked out and repaired during the battle. The Axis held the battlefield and recovered disabled vehicles; only 12 tanks were written off.<ref name= "Playfair171"/> The British lost 33 fighters and three bombers against 10 German aircraft.<ref name="Playfair171"/> RAF fighter losses were caused by lack of pilot training and the need for continuous air cover; standing patrols could only be maintained by a few aircraft while the bulk were in transit to the battlefield, being repaired, rearmed and refuelled.<ref name="Playfair171"/><br />

'''Chennai metropolitan area''' or '''Greater Chennai''' is the [[List of metropolitan areas in India|fourth-most populous]] [[metropolitan area]] in India and the 35th most populous in the world. It consists of the core city of [[Chennai]], which is coterminous with the [[Chennai district]], and its [[suburbs]] in [[Kanchipuram district|Kanchipuram]], [[Chengalpattu district|Chengalpattu]], [[Tiruvallur district|Thiruvallur]] and [[Ranipet district|Ranipet]] districts.<br />
<br />
The [[Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority]] is the nodal agency that handles town planning and development within the metro area. In 1974, an area encompassing {{cvt|1189|km2}} around the city was designated as the metropolitan area which was subsequently expanded to {{cvt|5904|km2}} in 2022.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />

'''Crocodilia''' ({{IPAc-en|k|r|Q|k|@|'|d|I|l|i|@}}) is an [[Order (biology)|order]] of [[semiaquatic]], predatory [[reptile]]s that are known as '''crocodilians'''. They appeared 83.5 million years ago in the Late [[Cretaceous]] period ([[Campanian]] stage) and are the closest living relatives of [[birds]], as the two groups are the only known survivors of the [[Archosaur]]ia. Members of the crocodilian [[Crown group#Pan-group|total group]], the [[clade]] [[Pseudosuchia]], appeared about 250 million years ago in the [[Early Triassic]] period, and diversified during the [[Mesozoic]] era. The order includes the [[crocodile|true crocodiles]] ([[Family (biology)|family]] [[Crocodylidae]]), the [[alligator]]s and [[caiman]]s (family [[Alligatoridae]]), and the [[gharial]] and [[false gharial]] (family [[Gavialidae]]). Although the term "crocodiles" is sometimes used to refer to all of these families, the term "crocodilians" is less ambiguous.<br />
<br />
Extant crocodilians have flat heads with long snouts and tails that are compressed on the sides, with their eyes, ears, and nostrils at the top of the head. Alligators and caimans tend to have broader U-shaped jaws that, when closed, show only the upper teeth, whereas crocodiles usually have narrower V-shaped jaws with both rows of teeth visible when closed. Gharials have extremely slender, elongated jaws. The teeth are conical and peg-like, and the bite is powerful. All crocodilians are good swimmers and can move on land in a "high walk" position, traveling with their legs erect rather than sprawling. Crocodilians have thick skin covered in non-overlapping scales and, like birds, have a four-chambered [[heart]] and [[lung]]s with unidirectional airflow.<br />
<br />
Like other (non-avian) reptiles, crocodilians are [[ectotherm]]s or 'cold-blooded'. They are found mainly in the warm and tropical areas of the [[Americas]], [[Africa]], [[Asia]], and [[Oceania]], usually occupying [[freshwater habitat]]s, though some can live in saline environments and even swim out to sea. Crocodilians have a largely [[carnivorous]] diet; some species like the gharial are specialized feeders while others, like the [[saltwater crocodile]], have generalized diets. They are generally solitary and [[territory (animal)|territorial]], though they sometimes hunt in groups. During the breeding season, [[Dominance hierarchy|dominant]] males try to monopolize available females, who lay their eggs in holes or mounds and, like many birds, they care for their hatched young.<br />
<br />
Some species of crocodilians, particularly the [[Nile crocodile]], are known to have [[Crocodile attack|attacked humans]], which through activities that include hunting, poaching, and [[habitat destruction]] are the greatest threat to crocodilian populations. Farming of crocodilians has greatly reduced unlawful trading in skins of wild-caught animals. Artistic and literary representations of crocodilians have appeared in human cultures around the world since at least [[Ancient Egypt]].<br />

==Spelling and etymology==<br />
<!--refs in this section need formatting using {{cite book | title= | date= | publisher= }} etc.--><br />
"Crocodilia" and "Crocodylia" have been used interchangeably for decades, starting with [[Karl Patterson Schmidt]]'s re-description of the group from the formerly defunct term [[Loricata]].<ref name="schmidt1953">Schmidt, K. P. 1953. A Checklist of North American Amphibians and Reptiles. Sixth edition. Amer. Soc. Ichthy. Herp. Chicago, University of Chicago Press.</ref> Schmidt used the older term "Crocodilia", based on [[Richard Owen]]'s original name for the group.<ref name="owen1842">Owen, R. 1842. Report on British Fossil Reptiles. Part II. Report British Association Adv. Sci. Plymouth Meeting. 1841:60–240.</ref> Heinz Wermuth chose "Crocodylia" as the proper name,<ref name="wermuth1953">Wermuth, H. 1953. Systematik der Rezenten Krokodile. Mitt. Mus. Berlin. Vol. 29(2):275–514.</ref> basing it on the type genus ''[[Crocodylus]]'' ([[Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti|Laurenti]], 1768).<ref name="laurenti1768">Laurenti, J. N. 1768.

Vol. 38(4):398–406, DOI 10.2307/2992405.</ref> Following the advent of [[cladistics]] and [[phylogenetic nomenclature]], a more-solid justification for one spelling over the other was proposed.<ref name="Brochu20033">{{cite journal |last=Brochu |first=C.

<br />
Prior to 1988, Crocodilia was a group that encompassed the modern-day animals, as well as their more-distant relatives that are now classified in the larger groups [[Crocodylomorpha]] and [[Pseudosuchia]].<ref name="Brochu20033"/> Under its current definition as a [[crown group]], rather than a [[stem-based taxon|stem-based group]], Crocodylia is now restricted to the [[last common ancestor]] of today's crocodilians and all of its descendants, living or extinct.<ref name="Brochu20033"/><br />
<br />
Crocodilia<ref name="owen1842" /> appears to be a [[Latinism]] of the [[Greek language|Greek]] word {{lang|grc|κροκόδειλος}} (''{{transliteration|grc|krokódeilos}}''), which means both [[lizard]] and [[Nile crocodile]].<ref>{{cite web |author1=Liddell, Henry George |author2=Scott, Robert |year=1901 |title=An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon |url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0058%3Aentry%3Dkroko%2Fdeilos |access-date=22 October 2013 |publisher=Tufts University}}</ref> Crocodylia, as coined by Wermuth<ref name="wermuth1953" /> in regards to the genus ''Crocodylus'', appears to be derived from the [[Ancient Greek]]<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |year=1986 |title=Crocodile |encyclopedia=Webster's Third New International Dictionary |publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica |editor=Gove, Philip B.}}</ref> {{lang|grc|κρόκη}} ({{transliteration|grc|kroke}})—meaning shingle or pebble—and {{lang|grc|δρîλος}} or {{lang|grc|δρεîλος}} ({{transliteration|grc|dr(e)ilos}}), meaning ''worm''. The name may refer to the animal's habit of resting on the pebbled shores of the [[Nile]].<ref>Kelly, 2006. p. xiii.</ref><br />

<br />
Crocodilians and birds are members of the clade [[Archosaur|Archosauria]]. Archosaurs are distinguished from other reptiles particularly by two sets of extra openings in the skull; the [[antorbital fenestra]] located in front of the animal's eye socket and the [[mandibular fenestra]] on the jaw. Archosauria has two main groups: the [[Pseudosuchia]] (crocodilians and their relatives) and the [[Avemetatarsalia]] ([[dinosaur]]s, [[pterosaur]]s, and their relatives).<ref>{{cite web |author1=Hutchinson, John R. |author2=Speer, Brian R. |author3=Wedel, Matt |year=2007 |title=Archosauria |url=http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/taxa/verts/archosaurs/archosauria.php |access-date=24 October 2013 |publisher=University of California Museum of Paleontology}}</ref> The split between these two groups is assumed to have happened close to the [[Permian–Triassic extinction event]], which is informally known as the Great Dying.<ref>{{Cite web |last=St. Fleur |first=Nicholas |date=16 February 2017 |title=After Earth's worst mass extinction, life rebounded rapidly, fossils suggest |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/16/science/great-dying-permian-extinction-fossils.html |access-date=6 July 2024 |website=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Crocodylomorpha]], the group that later gave rise to modern crocodilians, emerged in the [[Late Triassic]].

=== Early crocodyliform diversity ===<br />
[[File:Pakasuchus.jpg|thumb|Life restoration of ''[[Pakasuchus]]'']]<br />
<br />
During the early [[Jurassic]] period, dinosaurs became dominant on land and the crocodylomorphs underwent major [[Adaptive radiation|adaptive diversifications]] to fill [[ecological niche]]s vacated by recently extinguished groups. [[Mesozoic]] crocodylomorphs had a much greater diversity of forms than modern crocodilians; they became small, fast-moving [[insectivore]]s, specialist [[Piscivore|fish-eaters]], marine and terrestrial [[carnivore]]s, and [[herbivore]]s.<ref name="Stubbs20133">{{cite journal |author1=Stubbs, Thomas L. |author2=Pierce, Stephanie E. |author3=Rayfield, Emily J. |author4=Anderson, Philip S.

<br />
Protosuchians were small, mostly terrestrial animals with short snouts and long limbs. They had bony armor in the form of two rows of plates extending from head to tail; this armor would still be found in later species. Their vertebrae were convex on the two main articulating surfaces. The [[secondary palate]] was little developed; it consisted only of a [[maxilla]]. The mesosuchians underwent a fusion of the [[palatine bone]]s to the secondary palate, and a great extension of the nasal passages behind the palatine and in front of the [[pterygoid bone]]s. This adaptation allowed the animal to breathe through its nostrils while its mouth was open underwater. The eusuchians continued this process; the interior nostrils now opened through an aperture in the pterygoid bones. The vertebrae of eusuchians had one convex and one concave [[articulating surface]].<ref name="Ross28">Buffetaut, pp. 28–29.</ref> The oldest-known eusuchian is ''[[Hylaeochampsa vectiana]]'' from the [[Early Cretaceous]] whose remains occur on the [[Isle of Wight]] in the United Kingdom.<ref name="Martin22">{{cite journal |author1=Martin, Jeremy E. |author2=Benton, Michael J. |year=2008 |title=Crown Clades in Vertebrate Nomenclature: Correcting the Definition of Crocodylia |journal=Systematic Biology |volume=57 |issue=1 |pages=173–181 |doi=10.1080/10635150801910469 |pmid=18300130 |doi-access=free}}</ref> It was followed by crocodilians such as the [[Planocraniidae]], the ''hoofed crocodiles'', in the [[Palaeogene]].<ref name="BrochuPristi22">{{cite journal |author=Brochu, C.

===Locomotion===<br />
[[File:CrocoLoco-swimming-01-LtoR.jpg |thumb |[[Nile crocodile]] swimming.]]<br />
<br />
Crocodilians are excellent swimmers. During [[aquatic locomotion]], the muscular tail undulates from side to side to drive the animal through the water while the limbs are held close to the body to reduce [[Drag (physics)|drag]].<ref name="Firefly" /><ref>{{cite journal |last=Fish |first=F. E. |year=1984 |title=Kinematics of undulatory swimming in the American alligator |journal=Copeia |pages=839–843 |url=http://darwin.wcupa.edu/~biology/fish/pubs/pdf/1984CopeiaKinematics.pdf |doi=10.2307/1445326 |volume=1984 |issue=4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021220152/http://darwin.wcupa.edu/~biology/fish/pubs/pdf/1984CopeiaKinematics.pdf |archive-date=21 October 2013 |jstor=1445326 }}</ref> When the animal needs to stop or change direction, the limbs are splayed out.<ref name="Firefly" /> Swimming is normally achieved with gentle sinuous movements of the tail, but the animals can move more quickly when pursuing or being pursued.<ref name="Ross46">Mazzotti, pp. 43–46.</ref> Crocodilians are less well-adapted for moving on land, and are unusual among vertebrates in having two means of terrestrial locomotion: the "high walk" and the "low walk".<ref name="Kelly70" /> The ankle joints flex in a different way from those of other reptiles, a feature crocodilians share with some early archosaurs. One of the upper row of ankle bones, the [[talus bone]], moves with the [[tibia]] and [[fibula]], while the [[heel bone]] moves with the foot and is where the ankle joint is located. The result is the legs can be held almost vertically beneath the body when on land, and the foot swings during locomotion as the ankle rotates.<ref name="Ross21">Sues, p. 21.</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Alligator02 Asit.jpg|thumb|left|[[American alligator]] showing the crocodilian "high walk", with lower limb portions held almost vertically, unlike other reptiles.]]<br />
<br />
The limbs move much the same as those of other [[quadruped]]s; the left forelimb moves first, followed by the right hindlimb, then right forelimb, and finally left hindlimb. The high walk of crocodilians, with the belly and most of the tail held off the ground and the limbs held directly under the bodies, resembles that of mammals and birds.<ref name="Ross46" /> The low walk is similar to the high walk, but the body is not raised, and is quite different from the sprawling walk of [[salamander]]s and lizards. Crocodilians can instantly change from one walk to the other; the high walk is the usual means of locomotion on land. The animal may immediately push up its body up use this form, or it may take one or two strides of low walk before raising the body. Unlike most other land vertebrates, when crocodilians increase their pace of travel, they increase the speed at which the lower half of each limb (rather than the whole leg) swings forward, so stride length increases while stride duration decreases.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Reilly, S.

The snout shape of crocodilians varies between species. Alligators and caimans generally have wide, U-shaped snouts while those of crocodiles are typically narrower and V-shaped. The snouts of the gharials are extremely elongated.<ref name="Grigg326" /><ref>Grigg and Kirshner, p. 3.</ref> The muscles that close the jaws are larger and more powerful than the ones that open them,<ref name="Grigg326" /> and a human can quite easily hold shut a crocodilian's jaws, but prying open the jaws is extremely difficult.<ref name="Kelly, p. 68">Kelly, p. 68.</ref> The powerful closing muscles attach at the middle of the lower jaw.

Crocodilian teeth vary from dull and rounded to sharp and pointed.<ref name="bite" /> Broad-snouted species have teeth that vary in size, while those of slender-snouted species are more consistent. In general, in crocodiles and gharials, both rows of teeth are visible when the jaws are closed because their teeth fit into grooves along the outside lining of the upper jaw. By contrast, the lower teeth of alligators and caimans normally fit into holes along the inside lining of the upper jaw, so they are hidden when the jaws are closed.<ref name="Grigg227">Grigg and Gans, pp. 227–228.</ref><ref>Grigg and Kirshner, p. 4.</ref> Crocodilians are [[homodont]]s, meaning each of their teeth are of the same type; they do not have different tooth types, such as canines and molars.

Crocodilians were traditionally thought to breathe like mammals, with airflow tidally moving in and out, but studies published in 2010 and 2013 conclude respiration in crocodilians is more [[Lung#Birds|bird-like]], with airflow moving in a unidirectional loop within the lungs. During inhalation, air flows through the trachea and into two primary [[Bronchus|bronchi]] (airways) that divide into narrower secondary passageways. The air continues to move through these, then into even narrower tertiary airways, and then into other secondary airways that were bypassed the first time. The air then flows back into the primary airways and is exhaled.<ref>{{Cite journal |author1=Farmer, C.

In crocodilians, the [[diaphragmaticus]] muscle, which is [[analogous structure|analogous]] to the [[Thoracic diaphragm |diaphragm]] in mammals, attaches the lungs to the liver and pelvis. During inhalation, the [[external intercostal muscles]] expand the ribs, allowing the animal to take in more air, while the [[ischiopubic ramus |ischiopubis]] muscle causes the hips to swing downwards and push the belly outward, while the diaphragmaticus pulls the liver back. When exhaling, the [[internal intercostal muscles]] push the ribs inwards while the [[rectus abdominis]] pulls the hips and liver forwards and the belly inward.<ref name="Carrier">{{cite journal|author1=Farmer, C.

===Thermoregulation===<br />
[[File:Yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) 2.jpg|thumb|[[Yacare caiman]] basking and gaping]]<br />
<br />
Crocodilians are [[ectotherm]]s ('cold-blooded'), relying mostly on their environment to control their body temperature. The main means of warming is sun's heat, while immersion in water may either raise its temperature via [[thermal conduction]] or cool the animal in hot weather. The main method for regulating its temperature is behavioural; temperate-living alligators may start the day by basking in the sun on land and move into water for the afternoon, with parts of the back breaking the surface so it can still be warmed by the sun. At night, it remains submerged and its temperature slowly falls. The basking period is longer in winter. Tropical crocodiles bask briefly in the morning and move into water for rest of the day. They may return to land at nightfall when the air cools. Animals also cool themselves by gaping the mouth, which cools by [[evaporation]] from the mouth lining.<ref name="Ross51">Mazzotti, pp. 48–51.</ref> By these means, the temperature range of crocodilians is usually maintained between {{convert|25|and|35|°C}}, and mainly stays in the range {{convert|30|to|33|°C}}.<ref>Grigg and Gans, p. 330.</ref><br />
<br />
Both the [[American alligator|American]] and [[Chinese alligator]] can be found in areas that sometimes experience periods of frost in winter. In cold weather, alligators remain submerged with their tails in deeper, less-cold water and their nostrils projecting just above the surface. If ice forms on the water, they maintain ice-free breathing holes, and there have been occasions when their snouts have become frozen into ice. Temperature-sensing probes implanted in wild American alligators have found their core body temperatures can fall to around {{convert|5|°C}}, but as long as they remain able to breathe, they show no ill effects when the weather warms.<ref name="Ross51" /><br />
<br />
===Osmoregulation===<br />
[[File:Saltwater crocodile on a beach in Darwin, NT.jpg|thumb|left|[[Saltwater crocodile]] resting on beach]]<br />
All crocodilians need to maintain a suitable concentration of salt in body fluids. [[Osmoregulation]] is related to the quantity of salts and water that are exchanged with the environment. Intake of water and salts occurs across the lining of the mouth, when water is drunk, incidentally while feeding, and when present in foods.<ref name="Mazzotti and Dunson">{{cite journal |title=Osmoregulation in Crocodilians |author1=Mazzotti, Frank J |author2=Dunson, William A. |journal=American Zoologist |year=1989 |volume=29 |issue=3 |pages=903–920 |jstor=3883493 |doi=10.1093/icb/29.3.903 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Water is lost during breathing, and salts and water are lost in the urine and faeces, through the skin, and in crocodiles and gharials via [[Salt gland |salt-excreting glands]] on the tongue.<ref name="Ross55">Mazzotti, pp. 52–55.</ref><ref name="Kelly, p. 68"/> The skin is a largely effective barrier for water and ions. Gaping causes water loss by evaporation.<ref name="Ross55" /> Large animals are better able than small ones to maintain [[homeostasis]] at times of osmotic stress.<ref name="Grigg333" /> Newly hatched crocodilians are much less tolerant of exposure to salt water than are older juveniles, presumably because they have a higher [[surface-area-to-volume ratio]].<ref name="Ross55" /><br />
<br />
The kidneys and excretory system are much the same as those in other reptiles, but crocodilians do not have a [[Bladder#Reptiles |bladder]].<ref>{{cite journal |pmc=7152205 |date=2009 |last1=Nevarez |first1=J. |title=Crocodilians |journal=Manual of Exotic Pet Practice |pages=112–135 |doi=10.1016/B978-141600119-5.50009-3 |isbn=978-1-4160-0119-5 }}</ref> In fresh water, the [[osmolality]] (the concentration of solutes that contribute to a solution's [[osmotic pressure]]) in the [[Blood plasma|plasma]] is much higher than that of the surrounding water.

In seawater, the opposite is true; the osmolality in the plasma is lower than that of the surrounding water, causing the animal to dehydrate. The cloacal urine is much more concentrated, white, and opaque, and nitrogenous waste is mostly excreted as insoluble [[uric acid]].<ref name="Ross55" /><ref name="Grigg333" /><br />

<br />
Crocodilians use various types of aquatic habitats. Due to their diet, gharials are found in pools and backwaters of rapidly flowing rivers. Caimans prefer warm, [[Turbidity|turbid]] lakes and ponds, and slow-moving parts of rivers, although the [[dwarf caiman]] inhabits cool, relatively clear, fast-flowing waterways, often near waterfalls. The Chinese alligator is found in slow-moving, turbid rivers that flow across China's [[floodplain]]s. The highly adaptable American alligator is found in swamps, rivers and lakes with clear or turbid water. Crocodiles live in marshes, lakes and rivers, and can live in saline environments including [[Estuary |estuaries]] and [[mangrove]] swamps.<ref name="Ross139" /> American and saltwater crocodiles swim out to sea.<ref name="Ross65">Ross, p. 65.</ref><ref name="Ross68"/> Several extinct species, including the recently extinct ''[[Ikanogavialis |Ikanogavialis papuensis]]'', which occurred in coastlines of the [[Solomon Islands]], had marine habitats.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rauhe |first1=M. |last2=Frey |first2=E. |last3=Pemberton |first3=D.

<br />
Crocodilians also use terrestrial habitats such as forests, savannas, grasslands and deserts.<ref name="Ross139" /> Dry land is used for basking, nesting and escaping from temperature extremes. Several species make use of shallow burrows on land to keep cool or warm, depending on the environment.<ref name="Ross146">Alcala and Dy-Liacco, pp. 144–146.</ref> Four species of crocodilians climb trees to bask in areas lacking a shoreline.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.herpetologynotes.seh-herpetology.org/Volume7_PDFs/Dinets_HerpetologyNotes_volume7_pages3-7.pdf |title=Climbing behaviour in extant crocodilians |author1=Dinets, Vladimir |author2=Britton, Adam |author3=Shirley, Matthew |journal=Herpetology Notes |year=2013 |volume=7 |pages=3–7}}</ref> Tropical rainforests bordering rivers and lakes inhabited by crocodilians are of great importance to them, creating microhabitats where they can flourish.

<br />
==Behaviour and life history==<br />
<br />
Adult crocodilians are typically [[Territory (animal)|territorial]] and solitary. Individuals may guard basking spots, nesting sites, feeding areas, nurseries, and overwintering sites. Male saltwater crocodiles defend areas with several female nesting sites year-round. Some species are occasionally [[Gregarious behaviour|gregarious]], particularly during droughts, when several individuals gather at remaining water sites. Individuals of some species may share basking sites at certain times of the day.<ref name="Firefly" /><br />

===Feeding===<br />
[[File:Crocodile attack during Mara River crossing - frame 1 - Flickr - Lip Kee.jpg|thumb|left|[[Nile crocodile]] ambushing migrating [[wildebeest]] crossing the [[Mara River]]]]<br />
<br />
Crocodilians are largely [[carnivorous]]. The diets of species varies with snout shape and tooth sharpness. Species with sharp teeth and long, slender snouts, like the Indian gharial and Australian freshwater crocodile, are specialized for snapping fish, insects, and crustaceans. Extremely broad-snouted species with blunt teeth, like the Chinese alligator and the broad-snouted caiman, are equipped for crushing hard-shelled molluscs. Species whose snouts and teeth are intermediate between these two forms, such as the saltwater crocodile and American alligator, have generalized diets and opportunistically feed on invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.<ref name="bite" /><ref name="Ross80">Pooley, pp. 76–80.</ref> Though mostly carnivorous, several species of crocodilian have been observed consuming fruit, and this may play a role in [[seed dispersal]].<ref name="Platt2013">{{cite journal|author1=Platt, S.

In general, crocodilians are stalk-and-ambush predators,<ref name="bite" /> though hunting strategies vary between species an their prey.<ref name="Firefly" /> Terrestrial prey is stalked from the water's edge, and grabbed and drowned.<ref name="Firefly" /><ref name="Grigg229">Grigg and Gans, pp. 229–330.</ref> Gharials and other fish-eating species sweep their jaws from side-to-side to snatch prey; these animals can leap out of water to catch birds, bats and leaping fish.<ref name="Ross80" /> A small prey animal can be killed by [[Whiplash (medicine)|whiplash]] as the predator shakes its head.<ref name="Grigg229" /> When foraging for fish in shallow water, caiman use their tails and bodies to herd fish<ref name="Firefly" /> and may dig for bottom-dwelling invertebrates.<ref name="Kelly70" /> The [[smooth-fronted caiman]] will leave water to hunt terrestrial prey.<ref name="bite" /><br />

Crocodilians are unable to chew and need to swallow food whole, so prey that is too large to swallow is torn into pieces. Crocodilians may be unable to deal with a large animal with a thick hide, and may wait until it becomes putrid and comes apart more easily.<ref name="Ross91"/> To tear a chunk of tissue from a large carcass, a crocodilian continuously spins its body while holding prey with its jaws, a manoeuvre that is known as the ''death roll''.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Fish, F.

Crocodilians are generally [[Polygyny in nature|polygynous]], and individual males try to mate with as many females as they can.<ref name="Kelly86" /> [[Monogamous pairing in animals|Monogamous pairings]] of American alligators have been recorded.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Lance, S.

Males of some species, like the American alligator, try to attract females with elaborate [[courtship display]]s. During courtship, crocodilian males and females may rub against each other, circle around, and perform swimming displays. Copulation typically occurs in water. When a female is ready to mate, she arches her back while her head and tail dip underwater. The male rubs across the female's neck and grasps her with his hindlimbs, and places his tail underneath hers so their cloacas align and his penis can be inserted. Intermission can last up to 15 minutes, during which time the pair continuously submerge and surface.<ref name="Kelly86">Kelly, pp. 86–88.</ref> While dominant males usually monopolise females, single American alligator [[Clutch (eggs)|clutch]]es can be sired by three different males.<ref name="Firefly" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Crocnest.JPG|thumb|Mother [[American alligator]] with nest and young]]<br />
<br />
Depending on the species, female crocodilians may construct either holes or mounds as nests,<ref name="Firefly" /> the latter made from vegetation, litter, sand or soil.<ref name="Grigg333" /> Nests are typically found near dens or caves. Those made by different females are sometimes close to each other, particularly in hole-nesting species. Clutches may contain between ten and fifty eggs. Crocodilian eggs are protected by hard shells made of [[calcium carbonate]]. The [[Egg incubation|incubation period]] is two to three months.<ref name="Firefly" /> The sex of the developing, incubating young is [[Temperature-dependent sex determination|temperature dependant]]; constant nest temperatures above {{convert|32|C|F|abbr=on}} produce more males, while those below {{convert|31|C|F|abbr=on}} produce more females. Sex in crocodilians may be established in a short period of time, and nests are subject to changes in temperature. Most natural nests produce hatchlings of both sexes, though single-sex clutches occur.<ref name="Grigg333" /><br />
<br />
All of the hatchlings in a clutch may leave the nest on the same night.<ref name="Ross109" /> Crocodilians are unusual among reptiles in the amount of [[parental care]] provided after the young hatch.<ref name="Gans1996" /><ref name="Firefly" /> The mother helps excavate hatchlings from the nest and carries them to water in her mouth.

Crocodilians are the most vocal of the non-avian reptiles.<ref name="Ross109" /> They can communicate with sounds, including barks, bellows, chirps, coughs, growls, grunts, hisses, moos, roars, toots and whines.<ref name="Russell2020">{{cite journal |author=Russell, Anthony P. |author2=Bauer, Aaron M. |year=2020 |title=Vocalization by extant nonavian reptiles: A synthetic overview of phonation and the vocal apparatus |journal=The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology |volume=304 |issue=7 |pages=1478–1528 |doi=10.1002/ar.24553 |pmid=33099849 |s2cid=225069598 |doi-access=free}}</ref> Young start communicating with each other before they are hatched. It has been shown the young will repeat, one after another, a light tapping noise near the nest. This early communication may help young to hatch simultaneously.

Even unrelated adults respond quickly to juvenile distress calls.<ref name="Ross109">Lang, pp. 104–109.</ref><br />

Juveniles are highly vocal, both when scattering in the evening and congregating in the morning. Nearby adults, presumably the parents, may warn young of predators or alert them to the presence of food. The range and quantity of vocalisations vary between species. Alligators and caimans are the noisiest while some crocodile species are almost completely silent. In some crocodile species, individuals "roar" at others when they get too close. The American alligator is exceptionally noisy; it emits a series of up to seven throaty bellows, each a couple of seconds long, at ten-second intervals. It also makes various grunts, growls and hisses.<ref name="Ross109" /> Males create vibrations in water to send out [[infrasonic]] signals that attract females and intimidate rivals.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Vliet, K. A. |year=1989 |title=Social displays of the American alligator (''Alligator mississippiensis'') |journal=American Zoologist |volume=29 |issue=3 |pages=1019–1031 |doi=10.1093/icb/29.3.1019 |doi-access=free}}</ref> The enlarged boss of the male gharial may serve as a [[Vocal resonation|sound resonator]].<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Martin, B.

<br />
The head slap is another form of acoustic communication. This typically starts when an animal in water elevates its snout and remaining stationary. After some time, the jaws are sharply opened then clamped shut with a biting motion that makes a loud, slapping sound that is immediately followed by a loud splash, after which the head may immerse below the surface and blow bubbles from the throat or nostrils. Some species then roar while others slap water with their tails. Episodes of head slapping spread through the group. The purpose varies and it seems have a social function, and is also used in courtship.<ref name="Ross109" /> Dominant individuals intimidate rivals by swimming at the surface and displaying their large body size, and subordinates submit by holding their head forward above water with the jaws open and then flee below.<ref name="Firefly" /><br />
<br />
===Growth and mortality===<br />
[[File:Young saltwater crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin, Australia, 02.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|Young saltwater crocodiles in captivity]]<br />
<br />
Eggs and hatchlings have a high death rate, and nests face threats from floods, drying, overheating, and predators.<ref name="Firefly" /> [[Flood|Flooding]] is a major cause of failure of crocodilians to successfully breed; nests are submerged, developing embryos are deprived of oxygen and juveniles are swept away.<ref name="Ross148"/> Despite the maternal care they receive, eggs and hatchlings are commonly lost to predation.<ref name="Firefly" /> Predators, both mammalian and reptilian, may raid nests and eat crocodilian eggs.<ref name="Ross97">Pooley and Ross, pp. 94–101.</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author1=Hunt, R. Howard |author2=Ogden, Jacqueline J. |year=1991 |title=Selected aspects of the nesting ecology of American alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp |journal=Journal of Herpetology |volume=25 |issue=4 |pages=448–453 |jstor=1564768 |doi=10.2307/1564768 }}</ref> After hatching and reaching water, young are still under threat.<ref name="Kelly91">Kelly, p. 91.</ref> <br />
<br />
In addition to terrestrial predators, young are subject to aquatic attacks by fish. Birds take their toll, and malformed individuals are unlikely to survive. In northern Australia, the survival rate for saltwater crocodile hatchlings is 25 percent but this improves with each year of life, reaching up to 60 percent by year five.<ref name="Firefly" /> Mortality rates among subadults and adults are low, though they are occasionally preyed upon by [[Felidae|large cats]] and [[Snake|snakes]].<ref name="Ross97" /><ref name="Firefly" /> [[Elephant]]s and [[hippopotamus]]es may defensively kill crocodiles.<ref name="Firefly" /> Authorities are uncertain how much [[Cannibalism (zoology)|cannibalism]] occurs among crocodilians. Adults do not normally eat their own offspring but there is some evidence of subadults feeding on juveniles, while subadults may be preyed on by adults. Adults appear more likely to protect juveniles and may chase away subadults from nurseries. Rival male Nile crocodiles sometimes kill each other during the breeding season.<ref name="Ross97" /><br />
<br />
Growth in hatchlings and young crocodilians depends on the food supply. Animals reach sexual maturity at a certain length, regardless of age. Saltwater crocodiles reach maturity at {{convert |2.2|–|2.5|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} for females and {{convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} for males. Australian freshwater crocodiles take ten years to reach maturity at {{convert|1.4|m|abbr=on}}. The spectacled caiman matures earlier, reaching its mature length of {{convert|1.2|m|ft|0 |abbr=on}} in four to seven years.<ref name="Kelly86" /> Crocodilians continue to grow throughout their lives; males in particular continue to gain weight as they age, but this is mostly in the form of extra girth rather than length.<ref name="H31">Huchzermeyer, p. 31.</ref> Crocodilians can live for 35–75 years;<ref name="teeth" /> their age can be determined by growth rings in their bones.<ref name="Kelly86" /><ref name="H31" /><br />
<br />
=== Cognition ===<br />
Crocodilians are among the most cognitively complex non-avian reptiles. Embryological studies of developing amniotes have shown similar brain structures in the [[telencephalon]] between crocodilians, mammals and birds.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Pritz |first=M.

<br />
Crocodilians are opportunistic predators that are at their most dangerous in water and on shorelines. Several species are known to attack humans and may do so to defend their territories, nests or young; these attacks occur either unintentionally while the animal is attacking domestic animals such as dogs, or deliberately for food. Large crocodilians can take prey as big as or bigger than humans. Most of the data about such attacks involve the [[saltwater crocodile]], the [[Nile crocodile]], the [[mugger crocodile]], the [[American crocodile]], the [[American alligator]] and the [[black caiman]]. Other species that often attack humans are [[Morelet's crocodile]] and the [[spectacled caiman]].<ref name=IUCN-CSG>{{cite web |title=Crocodilian Attacks |url=http://www.iucncsg.org/pages/Crocodilian-Attacks.html |publisher=IUCN Crocodile Specialist Group |access-date=3 February 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Alligator warning.jpg|thumb|Sign in Florida warning of alligators]]<br />
<br />
It is estimated over 1,000 attacks by the Nile crocodile occurred between 2010 and 2020, almost 70% of which were fatal.<ref name=IUCN-CSG/> The species is considered to be the most-dangerous large predator in Africa, particularly because it is both widespread and numerous. It can easily sneak up on people or domestic animals at the edge of water. Fishers, bathers, waders and those washing clothes are particularly vulnerable. Once grabbed and dragged into water, it is unlikely the victim will escape. Analysis of attacks show most-such attacks take place when crocodiles are guarding nests or newly hatched young.<ref name=Ross177>Pooley, Hines and Shield, pp. 174–177.</ref> <br />
<br />
Saltwater crocodiles have been implicated in over 1,300 attacks on humans between 2010 and 2020, almost half of which were fatal.<ref name=IUCN-CSG/> Animals of various sizes may attack humans but large males are generally responsible for fatalities. Large animals require large prey, and humans are the correct size. Most victims of attacks by saltwater crocodile attacks have been in water but they occasionally occur on land. Saltwater crocodiles sometimes attack boats but do not usually appear to be targeting the occupants. Attacks occur when a human encroaches on the crocodile's territory.<ref name=AusCrocAttack>{{cite journal |author1=Caldicott, David G.

Several species of crocodilian are traded as [[exotic pet]]s. They are appealing when young but crocodilians do not make good pets; they grow large, and are dangerous and expensive to keep. As they grow older, pet crocodilians are often abandoned by their owners, and feral populations of spectacled caimans exist in the United States and Cuba. Most countries have strict regulations for keeping these reptiles.<ref>Kelly, pp. 208–211.</ref><br />

The main threat to crocodilians worldwide is human activity, including hunting and habitat destruction. Early in the 1970s, more than 2&nbsp;million wild crocodilian skins had been traded, depleting the majority of crocodilian populations, in some cases almost to extinction. Starting in 1973, [[CITES]] attempted to prevent trade in body parts of endangered animals, such as crocodile skins. This proved to be problematic in the 1980s because in some parts of Africa, crocodiles were abundant and dangerous to humans, and hunting them was legal. At the Conference of the Parties in Botswana in 1983, it was argued on behalf of aggrieved local people the selling of lawfully hunted skins was reasonable. In the late 1970s, crocodile farming began in different countries, starting from eggs taken from the wild. By the 1980s, farmed crocodile skins were produced in sufficient numbers to greatly diminish the unlawful trade in wild crocodilians. By 2000, skins from twelve crocodilian species, whether harvested lawfully in the wild or farmed, were traded by thirty countries and the unlawful trade had almost vanished.<ref name=Adams>{{cite book |title=Against Extinction: The Story of Conservation |url=https://archive.org/details/againstextinctio00adam |url-access=limited |publisher=Earthscan |author=Adams, William M. |year=2004 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/againstextinctio00adam/page/n212 197]–201 |isbn=978-1-84407-056-5}}</ref><br />

The American alligator has also undergone serious declines from hunting and habitat loss throughout its range, threatening it with extinction. In 1967, it was listed as an endangered species but the [[United States Fish and Wildlife Service]] and state wildlife agencies in the southern United States stepped in and worked towards its recovery. Protection allowed the species to recuperate and in 1987 it was removed from the endangered species list.<ref name=ufws>{{cite web |title=American Alligator ''Alligator mississippiensis'' |publisher=United States Fish and Wildlife Service |date=1 February 2008 |access-date=3 September 2012 |url=http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/alligator.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170429215953/https://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/alligator.pdf |archive-date=29 April 2017}}</ref> In Australia, the saltwater crocodile was heavily hunted and was reduced to five percent of its historical numbers in the [[Northern Territory]] by 1971.

<br />
Crocodilians have prominent roles in the narratives of various cultures around the world and may have inspired stories of [[dragon]]s.<ref>Kelly, p. 41.</ref> In [[ancient Egyptian religion]], both [[Ammit]] the devourer of unworthy souls and [[Sobek]] the god of power, protection and fertility are represented as having crocodile heads. This reflects the ancient Egyptians' view of the crocodile as both a terrifying predator and an important part of the Nile ecosystem. The crocodile was one of several [[Animal mummy|animals the Egyptians mummified]].<ref>Kelly, pp. 49–50.</ref> West African peoples also associated crocodiles with [[water deities]]. During the [[Benin Empire]], crocodiles symbolised the power of the ''[[Oba (ruler)|oba]]'' (king) and linked him to the life-giving rivers.<ref>Wylie, pp. 46, 51.</ref> The [[Leviathan]] described in the [[Book of Job]] may have been based on a crocodile.<ref>Wylie, p. 28.</ref> In [[Mesoamerica]], the [[Aztec]]s had a crocodilian god of fertility named [[Cipactli]] who protected crops. In [[Aztec mythology]], the earth deity [[Tlaltecuhtli]] is said to bond with a "great caiman". The [[Maya civilization|Maya]] also worshipped crocodilian gods and believed the world is supported on the back of a swimming crocodile.<ref>Kelly, pp. 58–59.</ref><br />
<br />
The gharial features in the folk tales of India. In one story, a gharial and a monkey become friends when the monkey gives the gharial fruit but the friendship ends after the gharial confesses it tried to lure the monkey into a house to eat it.<ref>Kelly, pp. 45–46.</ref> [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] and [[African American]] folk tales often pair an alligator with a [[trickster]] rabbit, [[Br'er Rabbit]] in the African American stories.<ref>Kelly, p. 62.</ref> An Australian [[Dreamtime]] story tells of a crocodile ancestor who had fire all to himself until a rainbow bird stole fire-sticks for man, hence the crocodile lives in water.<ref>Wylie, pp. 120–121.</ref><br />

<br />
Ancient historians have described crocodilians from the earliest written records, though often their descriptions contain as much assumption as observation. The Ancient Greek historian [[Herodotus]] (c. 440 BC) described the crocodile in detail, though much of his description is fanciful; [[Cleaning symbiosis#History|he claimed]] the crocodile would lie with its mouth open to permit a "trochilus" bird, possibly an [[Egyptian plover]], to remove [[leech]]es.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2707/2707-h/2707-h.htm#link22H_4_0001 |title=Histories |author=Herodotus |author-link=Herodotus |edition= Book II, chapter 68}}</ref> The crocodile was described in the late-13th century [[Rochester Bestiary]], which is based on classical sources, including [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]]'s [[Natural History (Pliny) |''Historia naturalis'']] (c. 79 AD)<ref>{{cite book |title=Natural History |author=Pliny the Elder |author-link=Pliny the Elder |pages=37–38 |chapter=8}}</ref> and [[Isidore of Seville]]'s [[Etymologiae |''Etymologies'']].<ref>{{cite book |title=Etymologies |author=Isidore of Seville |pages=19–20 |chapter=12.6}}</ref><ref name=McCulloch>{{cite book |last=McCulloch |first=Florence |title=Mediaeval Latin and French Bestiaries |publisher=University of North Carolina Press |location=Chapel Hill |year=1960 |pages=22, 28–29}}</ref> Isidore said the crocodile is named for its [[Saffron (color)|saffron colour]] (Latin croceus, 'saffron') and may be killed by fish with serrated crests sawing into its soft underbelly.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville |url=https://archive.org/details/etymologiesisido00barn |url-access=limited |publisher=Cambridge University Press |author1=Barney, Stephen A. |author2=Lewis, W.

Since the ninth-century text ''[[Bibliotheca (Photius)|Bibliotheca]]'' by [[Photios I of Constantinople]], crocodiles have been [[crocodile tears|reputed to weep]] for their victims.<ref>{{cite book |title=Bibliothèque.

<blockquote>In that country [of [[Prester John]]] and by all Ind [India] be great plenty of cockodrills, that is a manner of a long serpent, as I have said before. And in the night they dwell in the water, and on the day upon the land, in rocks and in caves. And they eat no meat in all the winter, but they lie as in a dream, as do the serpents. These serpents slay men, and they eat them weeping; and when they eat they move the over jaw, and not the nether jaw, and they have no tongue.<ref name=Mandeville/></blockquote><br />

Crocodilians have been recurring characters in stories for children, such as [[Roald Dahl]]'s ''[[The Enormous Crocodile]]'' (1978) and [[Emily Gravett]]'s ''[[The Odd Egg]]'' (2008).<ref>Wyle p. 181</ref> [[Lewis Carroll]]'s ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'' (1865) contains the poem ''[[How Doth the Little Crocodile]]''. In [[J. M.

<br />
In movies and shows, crocodilians are often represented as dangerous water obstacles<ref name="Kelly228"/> or as monstrous [[Man-eating animal|man-eater]]s, as in the horror films ''[[Eaten Alive]]'' (1977), ''[[Alligator (film) |Alligator]]'' (1980), ''[[Lake Placid (film) |Lake Placid]]'' (1999), ''[[Crocodile (2000 film) |Crocodile]]'' (2000), ''[[Primeval (film) |Primeval]]'' (2007) and ''[[Black Water (2007 film) |Black Water]]'' (2007).<!-- Please do not add any more titles, these movies are mentioned in the cite --><ref>Wylie p. 183.</ref> In the film ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]'' (1986), the title character [[Mick Dundee]]'s nickname comes from an incident involving a crocodile attack.<ref>Kelly. pp. 234–235.</ref> Some media texts, such as [[Steve Irwin]]'s [[Nature documentary |wildlife documentary]] series ''[[The Crocodile Hunter]]'', have attempted to portray crocodilians in a more positive or educational tone.<ref name="Kelly228">Kelly. p. 228.</ref><br />

Veera Chandrahasa follows the life of Chandrahasa, an orphan discovered in the forest and raised by Kulinda, a noble of Kuntala. As he grows up, his virtues and noble character earn him respect.<br />
<br />
However, Dushtabuddhi, a minister in the kingdom, learns of a prophecy that Chandrahasa could be a threat to the royal family. Fearing this, he makes several attempts to kill him. Each attempt fails, as Chandrahasa survives through his honesty, courage, and divine grace.<br />
<br />
In time, Chandrahasa unknowingly returns to the very kingdom that once rejected him, leading to a dramatic clash between fate, loyalty, and power. The film draws heavily from Kannada folklore and the Yakshagana tradition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Veera Chandrahasa OTT release: When and where to watch Ravi Basrur's Kannada film online|publisher=Pinkvilla|date=1 June 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Veera Chandrahasa Movie Review: Ravi Basrur triumphs daring to blend cinema and Yakshagana|publisher=Cinema Express|date=18 April 2025}}</ref><br />

{{More citations needed|date=March 2017}} '''[[Aurangabad]]''' is a [[medieval India]]n town named after [[Mughal emperors|Mughal Emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]], who established this town during his tenure as the [[Viceroy of the Deccan]] (''Dakhin''), a geographical region comprising parts of modern-day [[Maharashtra]], [[Telangana]] and [[Karnataka]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Malik Ambar]] made it his capital and the men of his army raised their dwellings around it. Within a decade, Kharki became a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar cherished strong love and ability for architecture. Aurangabad was Ambar's architectural achievement and creation. However, 1621, it was ravaged and burnt down by the imperial troops under [[Jahangir]]. Ambar the founder of the city was always referred to by harsh names by Emperor Jahangir. In his memoirs, he never mentions his name without prefixing epithets like wretch, cursed fellow, Habshi, Ambar Siyari, black Ambar, and Ambar Badakhtur. Malik Ambar died in 1626.<ref>Qureshi Dulari, "Tourism Potential in Aurangabad," p.6</ref> He was succeeded by his son [[Fath Khan|Fateh Khan]], who changed the name of Kharki to Fatehnagar. In the same year, the Moghal viceroy [[Khan Jahan Lodi]], advanced on the city, but retired to [[Burhanpur]] on being bribed by the [[Deccan sultanates|Nizam Shahi]] Commander, Hamid Khan. With the [[Siege of Daulatabad (1633)|capture of Daulatabad Fort]] by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals. In 1653 when Prince [[Aurangzeb]] was appointed the viceroy of the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and called it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.<br />

[[File:Panchakki.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Panchakki]], Baba Shah Mosafar Dargah 1880s]]<br />
In March 1666, accompanied by a body of 1,000 select troops, [[Shivaji]] arrived at Aurangabad on his way to [[Agra]]. Safshikan Khan, the governor of Aurangabad, treated him with scant respect. For this act, he was severely reprimanded by Jai Singh and made to pay a courtesy call on [[Chatrapati Shivaji]]. In 1668, the city nearly became a scene of a conflict between the imperial troops under Diler Khan, and those commanded by [[Bahadur Shah I|Prince Muazzam]], the viceroy. In 1681, after plundering Burhanpur, the [[Marathas]] assembled in the neighbourhood of the Satara hills in order to attack Aurangabad. The plan was, however, abandoned on hearing of the arrival of the viceroy, Khan Jahan Bahadur. In the same year, Khan Jahan Bahadur erected a wall around Aurangabad to protect it against surprise attacks of the Marathas. It was done at the order of the Emperor, and cost rupees three lakhs. Two years later, the Emperor himself arrived at Aurangabad.<br />
[[File:Bibi ka Makbara.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Bibi Ka Maqbara]] 1880s]]<br />
[[Bibi Ka Maqbara]] is a monument built in 1660 by Aurangzeb's son [[Muhammad Azam Shah|Azam Shah]] to his mother, Dilras Bano Begam.<br />
In 1692, he ordered a magnificent palace to be erected near the great reservoir to the north of the city - the ruins of which are now to be seen in the Killa Ark. A fortified wall was thrown round the suburb of Begampura in 1696 AD. Shortly after the death of Aurangzeb, the city of Aurangabad slipped from the hands of the Moghals. In 1720, [[Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk]] [[Asaf Jah]], a distinguished General of Aurangzeb with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], arrived at Aurangabad. He paid a visit to Delhi in 1723, but returned in 1724 {{Clarify|date=August 2009}}, defying the orders of Emperor [[Muhammad Shah]]. [[Ali Khan Asaf Jah II|Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II]] transferred his capital from Aurangabad to [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]] in 1763.<br />
[[File:Aurangabad Street View.jpg|thumb|200px|Street View Aurangabad 1868]]<br />
The Emperor ordered [[Mubariz Khan]], the Subhedar of the Deccan to oppose the [[Nizam]]. A battle was fought near [[Sakharkherda]], subsequently called Fatehkherda, in which Murbariz Khan was defeated and killed. Raghoji, a young scion of the house of the Jadhavs of Sindkhed who fought on the side of the Moghals was also killed. Incensed at the support lent by the Jadhavs to Mubariz Khan, the Nizam despatched a posse of troops to Deulgaon to capture the Jadhav family. But being informed of the design the family escaped to Satara and sought asylum with Chhatrapati Shahu. At the intervention of Shahu the Jagir was restored back to the Jadhavs.<br />
<br />
In 1853, Aurangabad was the scene of a conflict between the contingent troops and a body of Arab mercenaries ([[Chaush]]) belonging to Mansing Rav, the Raja of Devalgaon. The Arabs placed the Raja under restraint, and threatened his life because their pay was in arrears. Brigadier Mayne, commanding the station, being apprised of the situation, marched out in the first week of October, with the 5th regiment cavalry, 6th regiment infantry, and a battery of artillery to Jasvantpura, just outside the Roshangate, where the Arabs had posted themselves. After a stiff resistance, the Arabs were defeated and dispersed and the Raja was released. In the action that was fought the Contingent lost 15 killed and 40 were wounded. Among those killed was Lieut. Boswell, and among those wounded Lieut. [[Vaughan]], and Captain Parker. Both of them succumbed to their wounds later.<br />
<br />
==During 1857 rebellion==<br />
[[File:General Woodburn's Moveable Brigade.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Indian Mutiny: General Woodburn's Moveable Brigade Aurungabad 1857]]<br />
The year 1857 was eventful in the history of Aurangabad with the rest of the country. The British moved the first cavalry from Mominabad ([[Ambejogai]]) to Aurangabad, in order to relieve 3rd cavalry which had marched to [[Malegaon]], and was the first regiment to show signs of disaffection. The 2nd Infantry also came under suspicion. It was also feared that the people of the city might join hands with the troops. In order to prevent this, all the precautionary measures were taken and two companies of infantry were ordered to guard the bridge which spans the river Kham and separates the cantonment area from the spot where the cavalry was encamped. This precautionary measure on the part of the British alarmed the cavalry, and the men turning out without orders threw pickets in the direction of the cantonment. The authorities at Hyderabad were kept informed of the course of events by express. Upon this, a column of troops was ordered to march from Pune to Aurangabad. In the meanwhile, the artillery was also showing signs of rebellion, but the rumour of [[Bombay]] troops marching towards Aurangabad had a quieting effect. The men of the cavalry also returned to their posts.<br />
<br />
The [[Pune]] force was under the command of General Woodburn, and consisted of three troops of, the 14th Hussars under Captain Gall, Captain Woodcombe's battery of European artillery, and the 24th Bombay infantry under [[Colonel]] Folliot. Upon his arrival, General Woodburn marched straight to the encampment of the 3rd Cavalry, and the disaffected regiment was ordered out to a dismounted parade. The rissaldar of the first troop was directed to call out the names of the revolutionaries, and commenced by giving the name of the senior jamadar, who ordered his men to load their carbines. By this time the General with his staff and the English officers were mixed up with the disaffected troops, and hence the guns could not be used to put down the latter. In the confusion that followed, some of the troopers broke away, ran to their horses and fled away. The guns were fired upon them and the Hussars were sent in pursuit; but several of them managed to escape. A dafadar of the cavalry, Mir Fida Ali by name, fired a shot at his commanding officer, Captain Abbott. For this act of his, he was tried by a drum-head court-martial and hanged. The court-martial continued its sittings, and 24 men were condemned, of whom 21 were shot and 3 blown away from guns. About two-thirds of the regiment which had remained quiet was marched to Edalabad and recruited to its full strength by men from the other three regiments of the cavalry. Subsequently, the third cavalry served throughout the campaign under Sir Hugh Rose.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}<br />

==Travellers' accounts==<br />
Indeed, when Monsieur Thevenot visited Aurangabad it was not walled. Aurangzeb caused a wall to be built round the city in 1682, during the second viceroyalty of Khan Jahan, in order to protect it from the sporadic attacks of the [[Marathas]]. Begampura was similarly fortified in 1696. The city wall is terraced, and is of solid masonry. It is of no great height, at places not more than fourteen feet. The battlements are loopholed for musketry, and the merlins over the gateways and at certain places along the wall, are machicolated. [[Semicircular]] bastions surmounted by [[towers]], occur at each flanking angle, and at regular intervals along the works. The total length of the wall is a little over six miles. The wall has not been able to survive the ravages of time and lies practically in rains. It was pierced with thirteen gateways, exclusive of a small postern wicket. The four principal gates faced the cardinal points and consisted of the Delhi gate on the north, the Jalna gate on the east, the Paithan gate on the south, and the Mecca gate on the west. Besides these, there were the Jaffar, [[Khirki]], Barapul, Mahmud, Roshan, Khizi, Khadgar, Mada and Kumhar gates. The Barapul had also been walled up for some time; and at a distance of three-fourths of a mile from it, the city road runs through a large square [[Rock (geology)|stone]] gateway, called Barkul, ascribed to Malik Ambar. The town has spilt much beyond the fortifications.<br />
<br />
Dr. Bradley in his 'Statistics of the City of Aurangabad' gives a picturesque description of the city and its environs as he viewed it from the tower upon the corner bastion at the north-east angle of the city wall: "Below is seen the town partly lying in the hollow and partly covering the high grounds rising all round, except towards the north-east and south-west, which is the direction of a valley where a perennial stream meanders. The buildings are neatly concealed in thick foliage, and were it not for a dome or minaret peering out here and there, the observer might imagine that he was gazing upon a forest. Beautiful clumps of mango and [[tamarind]] trees, upon the outskirts increase the illusion. Seldom is a more varied and beautiful landscape than is here presented; and the palms and minarets scattered about the town, confer a character peculiarly eastern upon the scenery. Looking westward beyond the city walls, the... [[cantonment]] is seen occupying a large space of ground. Further in the distance two or three isolated bills observed cutting the horizon. On the summit of one of them stands the remarkable fortress of [[Daulatabad Fort|Daulatabad]]; and behind it the bluff headland of the northern range fades way into misty indistinctness".<br />

B. V. Pandit, an [[Ayurveda|Ayurvedic]] physician by profession and the formulator of ''Nanjagud Ayurvedic Dental Powder'', was scholastically inclined and maintained a home library that helped Sreekantan develop a reading habit from an early age. Sreekantan attended the local high school in Nanjangud and completed his intermediate degree course at Mysore. He secured his graduate degree in physics, with [[honours degree|honours]], in 1946 and completed his master's degree the following year, specializing in [[Wireless communication]], from [[Mysore University]].<ref name="Profile of a Scientist">{{cite web | url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252335709 | title=Profile of a Scientist | date=2015 | access-date=12 July 2015}}</ref> He continued his studies as a research scholar at the [[Indian Institute of Science]], Bangalore, but moved to Mumbai in 1948 to the [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] (TIFR)<ref name="Indian Astronomical Union profile">{{cite web | url=http://www.iau.org/administration/membership/individual/4287/ | title=Indian Astronomical Union profile | publisher=Indian Astronomical Union | date=2015 | access-date=12 July 2015}}</ref> when [[Homi J.

One of his early assignments at TIFR was the study of cosmic-ray-produced [[muons]] detected deep underground and Sreekantan conducted [[Particle experiments at Kolar Gold Fields|experiments]] at [[Kolar Gold Fields|Kolar Gold Mines]] in Karnataka, for the detection of the elementary particles at 2760&nbsp;m deep. Though his experiments failed to find cosmic ray produced muons, he continued his search, which resulted in the detection of cosmic ray produced [[neutrino]]s, reportedly the first detection of the subatomic particles at such depth.<ref name="Profile of a Scientist" /> His experiments served as the base of his doctoral thesis on the intensity and angular distribution of muons at different depths, prepared under the guidance of [[Homi J. Bhabha|Homi Bhabha]].<ref name="Homi Bhabha’s Legacy">{{cite web | url=http://www.tifr.res.in/~aset/Bhabha/talk011510.html | title=Homi Bhabha's Legacy | publisher=Tata Institute of Fundamental Research | date=15 January 2010 | access-date=13 July 2015}}</ref> A noted Italian experimental physicist, [[Bruno Rossi]] of [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], examined the thesis and [[Mumbai University]] awarded him PhD in 1954.<ref name="A versatile and humane scientist -1" /><br />
<br />
Sreekantan's first stint at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] in 1954 was when he worked with [[Bruno Rossi|Rossi]] on [[cloud chamber]]s and [[K-meson]]s.<ref name="Profile of a Scientist" /> During that trip, he visited several laboratories in the UK and France to familiarize himself with the advances in high energy physics.<ref name="A versatile and humane scientist -1" /> He also visited [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]] and conducted experiments on K-meson decay which resulted in the publication of three scientific papers, jointly written with [[Herbert S. Bridge]] and others. Once back at TIFR, he started a new series of balloon-borne experiments for studying cosmic X-ray sources above 20 keV which helped in the future development of X-ray detectors for X-ray astronomy missions. Three X-ray instruments developed by his group were carried on the [[Astrosat]], the first Indian multiwavelength astronomy observatory, which was launched in October 2015.<ref name="astro15">{{cite news | url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/isro-to-launch-astrosat-in-2015/article5723333.ece | title=ISRO to launch Astrosat in 2015 | journal=The Hindu | access-date=27 February 2014| date=24 February 2014 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Sreekantan was known to have furthered the studies of [[Homi J. Bhabha|Homi Bhabha]] and [[Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi]] on the lifespan and decay spectrum of muons. He set up his laboratory using war-surplus goods from [[World War II]] procured by TIFR as well as from other sources and with the assistance of H. L. N. Murthy, an expert in glass work, who helped him in the development of [[Geiger counter]]s, he measured the lifespan of the positive muons as 2.24±0.15 microseconds. His findings were published in the Indian journal, ''Proceedings of Indian Academy of Sciences'' in 1951.<ref name="A versatile and humane scientist -1" /><br />

'''Roy Pomeroy''' (April 20, 1892 &ndash; September 3, 1947) was an American [[special effect]]s artist and [[film director]]. One of the only three technicians that founded the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]], he was awarded the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Engineering Effects]] for the film ''[[Wings (1927 film)|Wings]]'' at the [[1st Academy Awards]].<ref name="Oscars1929">{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1929 |title=The 1st Academy Awards (1929) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=June 16, 2013|work=oscars.org}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Pomeroy's career began during the silent era, when he worked as a special effects engineer for [[Famous Players–Lasky]] and its successor studio [[Paramount Pictures]]. For 1923's ''[[The Ten Commandments (1923 film)|The Ten Commandments]],'' Pomeroy designed the [[crossing of the Red Sea|parting of the Red Sea]] sequence and an effect in which the commandments appeared in letters of flame.<ref name=Walker>Walker, Alexander. ''The Shattered Silents: How the Talkies Came to Stay.'' 1978. Morrow, 1979.</ref>{{rp|104}} He worked on ''[[Peter Pan (1924 film)|Peter Pan]], [[Old Ironsides (film)|Old Ironsides]],'' and ''[[The Rough Riders (film)|The Rough Riders]],'' all for Famous Players or Paramount. His work on the groundbreaking aviation film ''[[Wings (1927 film)|Wings]],'' released in 1927, earned him the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Engineering Effects]] at the [[1st Academy Awards|first-ever Academy Awards ceremony]].<br />
<br />
Pomeroy was head of research at Paramount, and experimented on an ultimately unsuccessful device to add [[sound film|sound]] to the studio's large-format [[List of motion picture film formats|Magnascope process]].<ref name=Walker />{{rp|43}} He was sent to visit the [[RCA Corporation|RCA]] and [[Western Electric]] sound laboratories to study [[Vitaphone]] sound technology, and upon his return was treated by studio workers and executives as an expert.<ref name=Walker />{{rp|64}} Jesse Lasky said, "We couldn't have treated him with more awe and homage if he had been Edison himself." Propman Joe Youngerman said, "He threw his weight around. He claimed he knew all about it."<ref name=Eyman>Eyman, Scott. ''The Speed of Sound: Hollywood and the Talkie Revolution 1926-1930.'' Simon and Schuster, New York: 1997.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1928, Paramount decided it was ready to release an "all-talkie", a film with synchronized dialogue throughout rather than in select scenes. They chose ''[[Interference (film)|Interference]],'' a [[silent film]] directed by [[Lothar Mendes]] that had been completed but not yet released. Pomeroy was assigned to reshoot the film with sound. He demanded—and received—a pay raise from $250 per week to $2,500. The silent and sound versions were released simultaneously; the sound version was better regarded by critics, but still detracted for stilted dialogue. However, the sound techniques were praised for their relative sophistication (the critic [[Mordaunt Hall]] noted that the audience "even heard a pen scratching its way over the paper as Evelyn Brent wrote a message"), anticipating many elements commonplace today; in particular, a scene in which one character is crying shows not the character crying but a [[reaction shot]] of her lover, placing the attention on his emotional reaction rather than insistently displaying the source of the sound.<ref name=Walker />{{rp|104–105}}<br />
<br />
After being tapped for his next directing assignment, Pomeroy asked for another raise to $3,500 a week. The studio balked and reassigned the project to William DeMille instead, and Pomeroy resigned from the studio.<ref name=Eyman /><ref name=Walker />{{rp|104}} He directed two more sound films: ''[[Inside the Lines (1930 film)|Inside the Lines]]'' for [[RKO Pictures|RKO]] in 1930, and ''[[Shock (1934 film)|Shock]]'' for [[W.T. Lackey Productions]] in 1934. Pomeroy was passionate about archery and kept a collection of bows in his studio office.<ref name=Eyman /><br />

'''''The Indian English Novel: Nation, History and Narration''''' is a 2009 book by [[Priyamvada Gopal]].<br />
<br />
A work of [[literary history]], the study traces the interrelationships between India's nationhood and its fiction from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth.<ref name=":11" /> Gopal argues that nineteenth-century Indian writers were influenced by British imperial claims that India lacked not only culture but specifically history, and that Anglophone Indian novels were strongly influenced by an impulse to resist this.<ref name=":13">Philippa St George, "Priyamvada Gopal, ''The Indian English Novel: Nation, History and Narration'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009), 209 pp., £40.00 (hbk), £14.99 (pbk)", ''Textual Practice'', 23 (2009), 883-86.</ref> Thus, notwithstanding the heterogeneity of Anglophone Indian novels, Gopal argues that they are connected by their concern to comment on and shape ideas of Indianness and of India.<ref name=":12" /> The book draws on novels that have been translated from Indian languages into English (prominently [[Bankim Chandra Chatterjee|Bankimchandra Chatterjee]]'s ''[[Anandamath]]'' and [[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s ''[[The Home and the World]]''),<ref name=":13" /> but focuses on works composed originally in English, whose status in India Gopal characterises as "rootless" yet also India's pan-national tongue.<ref name=":12" /><br />
<br />

<br />
According to Sharon Pillai, "in format, each chapter of ''The Indian English Novel'' couples synoptic theme-centric surveys with more focused (though brief) analysis of a clutch of selected texts, rounded off by a short, supplementary list of works for further perusal."<ref name=":12" /> The earlier part of the book is largely chronological, whereas after the 1980s, Gopal's attempt to cover a large amount of writing leads to more cursory coverage, and she organises the book more by literary form, theme, and place.<ref name=":11">Dieter Riemenschneider, "The Indian English novel: nation, history, and narration, by Priyamvada Gopal, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2009, 209 pp., £14.99, ISBN 978 0 1995 4437 0; Genres of modernity: contemporary Indian novels in English, by Dirk Wiemann, Amsterdam and New York, Rodopi, 2008, 334 pp., €69.00, ISBN 978 9 0420 2493 9", ''Journal of Postcolonial Writing Volume'', 46 (2010), 428–30; {{doi|10.1080/17449855.2010.482761}}.</ref><br />
<br />
The book discusses around forty novels. Most were written in what after 1948 became India, but some were composed in what became Pakistan and Bangladesh, and chapter 8 especially focuses on writing by the Indian diaspora, including [[Bharati Mukherjee]], [[M. G. Vassanji]], [[V. S. Naipaul]] and [[Hanif Kureishi]]'s ''[[The Buddha of Suburbia (novel)|The Buddha of Suburbia]]''.<ref name=":13" /><ref name=":12" /> Other works and writers that get particular attention include [[Khushwant Singh]]'s ''[[Train to Pakistan|Train To Pakistan]]'', [[Salman Rushdie]]'s [[Midnight's Children|''Midnight’s Children'']], [[Shama Futehally]]'s ''Tara Lane'', [[Rohinton Mistry]]'s ''[[Such a Long Journey (novel)|Such a Long Journey]]'', [[Mumtaz Shah Nawaz]]'s ''The Heart Divided'', [[Amitav Ghosh]]'s ''[[The Hungry Tide]]'', [[Lal Behari Dey]]'s ''Govinda Samanta'', [[Anita Desai]]'s ''Baumgartner's Bombay'', [[Mukul Kesavan]]'s ''Looking Through Glass'', [[Vikram Seth]]'s ''[[A Suitable Boy]]'', [[Kiran Nagarkar]]''<nowiki/>'s Ravan and Eddie'', [[Attia Hosain]]'s ''[[Sunlight on a Broken Column]]'', and [[Githa Hariharan]]'s ''In Times of Siege''.<ref name=":12" /><br />

In the view of Dieter Riemenschneider, the book "serves well its purported aim to introduce a 'regional' literature by offering a broad survey combined with close analyses of a large number of texts".<ref name=":11" /> He also noted that "the author’s familiarity with the 19th- and early 20th-century novel is particularly informative since past critics frequently merely quoted from [[K. R. S. Iyengar]]'s pioneering literary history ''Indian Writing in English''".<ref name=":11" /><br />
<br />
Reviewers praised Gopal's inclusion of writers and texts little known outside India, such as [[Bhabani Bhattacharya]]'s ''He Who Rides a Tiger'', [[Nayantara Sahgal]], [[Shashi Tharoor]], and [[Mukul Kesavan]].<ref name=":11" /><ref name=":12" /><br />
<br />
Sharon Pillai argued that<blockquote>Gopal is at her best when reading novels for the many ways in which they counter or consolidate the national hegemonic. [...] There are, however, a few caveats to go with the recommendations for ''The Indian English Novel''. [...] Nationalist and majoritarian identity-politics is excoriated and deconstructed in sensitive and sophisticated terms in Gopal’s book. Yet, the moment the positions are reversed and the usual victims become victimizers, as in [[Siddhartha Deb|Siddharth Deb]]’s ''Point of Return'', there are appeals made to history as extenuating circumstance [...] Such moves are seldom anything but disingenuous and unconvincing.<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal |last=Pillai |first=S. |date=2011-09-01 |title=PRIYAMVADA GOPAL, The Indian English Novel: Nation, History and Narration. |url=https://academic.oup.com/nq/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/notesj/gjr080 |journal=Notes and Queries |language=en |volume=58 |issue=3 |pages=467–468 |doi=10.1093/notesj/gjr080 |issn=0029-3970|url-access=subscription }}</ref></blockquote><br />

==Origin and area==<br />
The Pahari school developed and flourished during the 17th and 19th centuries, in the sub-[[Himalayas|Himalayan]] northern [[India]], stretching from [[Jammu region|Jammu]] to [[Garhwal Kingdom|Garhwal]], through [[Himachal Pradesh]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Randhawa |first=M.S. |date=2013 |title=Basohli Painting |url=https://ia803103.us.archive.org/2/items/basohlipainting00rand/basohlipainting00rand.pdf |access-date=12 August 2024 |publisher=Ministry of Information and Broadcasting |pages=1–3 |publication-place=New Delhi |via=Internet Archive}}</ref> Each created stark variations within the genre, ranging from bold intense [[Basohli Painting]], originating from [[Basohli]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]], to the delicate and lyrical [[Kangra paintings]], which became synonymous to the style before other schools of paintings developed, and finally to the poetic and cinematic representations in [[Garhwal Kingdom|Garhwali]] [[Paintings]] by [[Mola Ram]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Randhawa |first=M.S. |date=2013 |title=Basohli Painting |url=https://ia803103.us.archive.org/2/items/basohlipainting00rand/basohlipainting00rand.pdf |access-date=12 August 2024 |publisher=Ministry of Information and Broadcasting |pages=7–15 |publication-place=New Delhi |via=Internet Archive}}</ref> The [[Kangra painting|Kangra]] style reached its pinnacle with paintings of [[Works of Jayadeva#Pahari paintings|Radha and Krishna]], inspired by [[Jayadeva]]'s [[Gita Govinda]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=8EGUpX1O0hoC&dq=Kangra+painting&pg=RA2-PA62 Pahari centres] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230522213307/https://books.google.com/books?id=8EGUpX1O0hoC&dq=Kangra+painting&pg=RA2-PA62 |date=22 May 2023 }} ''Arts of India: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Music, Dance and Handicraft'', by Krishna Chaitanya.

Pahari painting grew out of the [[Mughal painting]], though this was patronized mostly by the Rajput kings who ruled many parts of the region, and gave birth to a new idiom in Indian painting.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.culturopedia.com/Painting/pahari.html |title=Pahari |access-date=28 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091211185646/http://www.culturopedia.com/Painting/pahari.html |archive-date=11 December 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Some local antecedents have also been suggested, as a vivid [[Culture of Kashmir|Kashmir]]i tradition of mural paintings flourished between the 9th and 17th centuries, as seen in the murals of [[Alchi Monastery]] or [[Tsaparang]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Chaitanya |first1=Krishna |title=A History of Indian Painting |date=1976 |publisher=Abhinav Publications |pages=6–7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aDo6x0OAdqAC&pg=PA7 |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
No Dogra artwork from before the Mughal-era has been found or come down to us.<ref name=":7">{{cite book |last1=Seth |first1=Mira |title=Dogra Wall Paintings in Jammu and Kashmir |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780195615494 |edition=illustrated |page= |pages=1–4 |chapter=1: Background}}</ref> At the height of the reign of the Dogras, artists were patronized and temples and fortresses were decorated with mural paintings, such as the temples of Krimchi, Babbor, and in the fort at Bahu.<ref name=":7" /> Artwork flourished under the Dogras due to two main reasons: contact with the Mughals and the ascendance of the Jammu State.<ref name=":7" /> Exchanges between the Dogras and the Mughals led to the transmission of Mughal manners, methods, and tastes regarding artwork, to the Dogras.<ref name=":7" /> The first Pahari ruler to directly interact with the Mughals was Raja Bhupat Pal of Basohli State (r. 1598–1635), who was imprisoned by Jahangir from 1613–1627, during which he likely witnessed Mughal artwork.<ref name=":7" /> This led to the [[Basohli (town)#Basohli painting|art of painting to arise first in Basohli State]], with the successors Raja Sangram Pal (r. 1635–73) and Raja Kirpan Pal (r. 1678–93) further developing Basohli as a centre of painting.<ref name=":7" /> The tradition of painting later developed in the hill states of Jasrota, Mankot, Lakhanpur, Samba, Bhoti, Bandralta, Bhadrawaha, Poonch, and Rajauri.<ref name=":7" /><br />
<br />
As for Jammu State, the first paintings seem to date to the reign of Raja Hari Dev (r. 1660–90).<ref name=":7" /> As Jammu became a powerful and hegemonic entity within the region above the rest, this brought upon peace, prosperity, and stability, which attracted painters to the Jammuite court, leading to the developing of Jammu State as a painting centre in the hills region.<ref name=":7" /> Raja Dhruv Dev's four sons were all patrons of painting, especially Raja Balwant Singh of Jasrota State.<ref name=":7" /><br />
<br />
==Schools of Pahari painting==<br />
The earliest examples discovered of the original Pahari style of paintings are a series of illustrations from 1690, the "Rasamañjarī".<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Basohli painting |url=https://www.britannica.com/art/Basohli-painting |access-date=2024-08-12 |website=Britannica |language=en}}</ref> Over the following two centuries, this style was perfected in various major and minor centres of Pahari Art.<ref name=":2" /> The major centres consist of the Guler, Chamba, Mandi and Kangra schools, while the minor ones include: Garwhal, Hindur, Jammu, Kullu, Bilaspur, Srinagar, and a few other schools located in the Punjab plains.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Chandramani |title=Centres of Pahari painting |date=1982 |publisher=Abhinav Publ |isbn=978-0-391-02412-0 |location=New Delhi}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> The Basohli school is further sub-divided into the Nurpur and Mankot sub-schools, while Kangra school also constitutes the [[Sikh art|Sikh]], and the Nalagarh or Hindur branches, and Mandi branch falls under the Kullu branch.<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
The various schools are characterised by diversities of style, theme and content, yet there is a common Himalayan softness and perspective that weaves them together.<ref name=":2" /> The human figures represented are moderately statured. Both male and female figures are exquisitely drawn, and made alluring, as are the representations of deities, which are given an anthropomorphic appeal, particularly visible in the portraits of [[Radha]] and [[Krishna]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Khandalavala |first=Karl |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.ministry.26567 |title=Pahari miniature painting |publisher=The New Book Company |year=1958 |location=Bombay |pages=26–30}}</ref> The figures have round faces, semicircular foreheads above small, deep set eyes that distinctly define this school of miniature art.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
===Major Pahari schools of painting===<br />
* '''Basohli School''': Basohli is credited with the initiation of the Pahari school in the mid-17th Century.<ref name=":3" /> As the first school of Pahari miniatures, Basohli can be differentiated by its double storey building structures in a square-format background, lotus flowers and use of elaborate shikharas, and other decorative elements.<ref name=":22">{{Cite web |last=Randhawa |first=M.S. |date=2013 |title=Basohli Painting |url=https://ia803103.us.archive.org/2/items/basohlipainting00rand/basohlipainting00rand.pdf |access-date=12 August 2024 |publisher=Ministry of Information and Broadcasting |pages=19–26 |publication-place=New Delhi |via=Internet Archive}}</ref> Literary classics like the Rasa-Manjari, Ramayana, themes from the Ragamala, and Gita Govinda were drawn at Basohli that defined the beginnings and the thematic-base of the entire Pahari form of art which next flourished at Guler.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* [[Haripur Guler#Guler Paintings|'''Guler School''']]: The Guler paintings are delicate, similar to the Mughal form of miniatures, but different in terms of the feelings and emotions they evoke.<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Madanjeet |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.pahar.3400 |title=Himalayan Art |publisher=The Macmillan Company, published in agreement with UNESCO |year=1971 |location=New York |pages=151–155}}</ref> Artworks from this school have refined lines and delicate shades of colours.<ref name=":4" /> The school is noted for its wondrous portraiture of the feminine world, and space. Landscapes here are presented with marked sensitivity.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* '''Chamba School''':<ref>[http://www.culturenorthindia.com/hp/fine_arts.htm Pahari Paintings] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071022043908/http://culturenorthindia.com/hp/fine_arts.htm|date=22 October 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dalhousie.net/paharipaintings.htm |title=Pahari paintings |access-date=28 May 2008 |archive-date=1 August 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120801160330/http://www.dalhousie.net/paharipaintings.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The typical female figures in paintings of the Chamba school exude warm, sensual and charming beauty. Noted for its deft handling and mixing of colours, the canvas space of Chamba paintings is dominated by red and blue colours.<ref name=":0" /> <br />
* '''Mandi''': Art from this school is noted for its depictions of the [[Tantra]] cult associated with the worship of the [[Devi]] or the Goddess. The ferocious and wrathful forms of the Devi are given a larger-than-life finish, and crude mystified look with deep tones of red, black and blue shades.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* '''[[Kangra paintings|Kangra School]]''': It is at Kangra, that the Pahari miniature form reaches its finest and creative best. The Kangra paintings are closer to the soil given their degree of realism; soft, almost musical effect of the colour textures, and interplay of the primary palette. Red, yellow, and blue dominate the Kangra canvas framed inside fine borders, either plain, or richly embellished. Jewellery with fine brushstrokes, neat buildings and arrangement of the background space, contrasting colours differentiating the relieved landscapes carefully painted with intricately delicate trees, leaves, flowers, birds, etc. - reveal the school's artistic splendour and maturity.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Śarmā |first=Oṅkāracandra |title=Kangra school of pahari painting |date=2018 |publisher=National Publishing House |isbn=978-81-214-0653-6 |edition=1st |location=New Delhi |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Other Pahari schools of painting===<br />
<br />
* '''[[Garhwal Division|Garhwal]] School''': It shares an affinity with the Guler School and its sensitive portrayals of landscape. A Garwhal miniature often has an overcast sky with clouds, foggy landscapes, etc.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* '''Hindur or Nalagarh School''': This school of Pahari miniatures can be distinguished by their evolved symbolism, narrative details, realist depictions of human figure with sharp features, rich costumes, each figure busy in his/her own lifestyle.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* '''Jammu School''': The human figures strewn across the Jammu School's canvas are tall, slim with marked well-defined physical characteristics. Hills and strained nature depictions, with light colours employed in bright shades, are other stylised features of this school.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />
* '''Patiala School''': An integral part of the [[Sikh art|Sikh School]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kamboj |first=B. P. |title=Early Wall Painting of Garhwal |publisher=Indus Publishing |year=2003 |isbn=9788173871399 |pages=107}}</ref> this style developed in the Punjab plains and was characterised by Sikh images, and stereotypical costumes, and emphasis on features like beards and moustaches. <ref name=":0" /><br />
* '''Kashmir, Lahore, Mankot and other schools''': The surrounding minor centres where Pahari art developed following the conventions of the major art centres. There exists little difference in between these schools.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><br />

Chole bhature spread to Delhi in the 1940s,<ref name="Statesman" /> with differing claims over who introduced it. Peshori Lal Lamba, a native of [[Lahore]], moved to Delhi after the 1947 [[partition of India]] and opened [[Kwality Restaurant]] in the [[Connaught Place, New Delhi|Connaught Place]] neighbourhood.<ref name="Panwar" /> A fine-dining establishment that also sold [[Anglo-Indian cuisine]], it became primarily known for its chole bhature.<ref name="Awal">{{Cite news |last=Awal |first=Vernika |date=3 April 2025 |title=Bengaluru to Delhi, a Culinary Odyssey |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2025/Apr/03/bengaluru-to-delhi-a-culinary-odyssey-2 |access-date=21 September 2025 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref> Some consider Lamba to be the first to have paired {{lang|hi-Latn|chole}} with bhature.

He migrated to Delhi with his son, Diwan Chand, and began selling chole bhature, a dish that had been popular in his hometown, from a [[food cart]].

Chole bhature is often said to be the origin of the [[Indo-Trinidadian]] dish [[doubles (food)|doubles]], especially in the view of Indians, though this is disputed.{{sfn|Jayaram|2022|p=274}} This hypothesis notes the similarity between chole bhature, when served as a [[wrap (food)|wrap]], and doubles. However, many people consider doubles to have uniquely originated in Trinidad and Tobago.{{sfn|Nacchia|2022|p=227}} Badru Deen, a member of the family credited with the invention of doubles, wrote that the two dishes are very different; sociologist N.

'''Rao Chunda Rathore''' (died 1428) was the 12th [[Rai (title)|Rao]] of [[Kingdom of Marwar|Marwar]] from 1384 until his death in 1428. His reign saw the consolidation of Rathore rule in Marwar, through his diplomatic and military prowess.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Chunda's father Viramdev died in a battle against the [[Johiya]]s, resulting in the annexation of his inheritance. Chunda was given refuge by a [[Charan]] named [[Alhaji Barhath]] who raised him at his home in Kalau village. As Chunda grew older, Alhaji equipped him with a horse and weapons and presented him to his uncle [[Rawal Mallinath]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Chandra|first=Yashaswini|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VawSEAAAQBAJ|title=The Tale of the Horse: A History of India on Horseback|date=2021-01-22|publisher=Pan Macmillan|isbn=978-93-89109-92-4|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Singh|first=Sabita|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0bSmDwAAQBAJ|title=The Politics of Marriage in India: Gender and Alliance in Rajasthan|date=2019-05-27|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-909828-6|language=en}}</ref> His uncle granted him a small outpost of Salavari which was given to him for his maintenance.

<br />
==Reign==<br />
In 1395 the [[Pratihar]]s of [[Mandore]] approached Chunda and proposed an alliance against the [[Tughlaq Empire]]. Chunda agreed and was married to a Pratihar princess, he was further given the fortified city of Mandore and a thousand villages in dowry.<ref name=CD/><ref name=DQ>{{Cite book|first=Melia|last=Belli|title=Royal Umbrellas of Stone: Memory, Politics, and Public Identity in Rajput funerary arts|publisher=Brill|year=2005|pages=142|isbn=9789004300569|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6dR0CgAAQBAJ&dq=rao+chunda+of+mandore&pg=PA142}}</ref> This incident was recorded in an old Rajasthani([[Dingal]]) couplet:<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Ujwal |first=Kailash Dan S. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pkkqAAAAYAAJ |title=Bhagwati Shri Karniji Maharaj: A Biography |date=1985 |publisher=<nowiki>[s.n.]]</nowiki> |language=en}}</ref><blockquote>''"ईदौं रो उपकार, कमधज कदे न बीसरे,''<br />

<br />
The Tughlaq Empire soon reacted by sending an army under Zafar Khan, the governor of [[Gujarat]]. Chunda was able to successfully defend Mandore against this army, [[Timur]]'s invasion further forced Zafar to start negotiations with Chunda. Chunda had agreed to pay tribute to the Tughlaqs after this battle, but he later reneged and invaded Tughlaq territory, capturing [[Sambhar Lake Town|Sambhar]], [[Didwana]], [[Khatu]] and [[Ajmer]]. He continued his expansion and defeated the Chauhans of [[Nadol]] and captured their lands. Chunda also attacked his brother Jai Singh for not helping him against the Tughlaqs and captured [[Phalodi]].<ref name=KA>{{Cite book|first=Khaliq Ahmad Nizami|last=Mohammad Habib|title=A COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF INDIA VOL.5|publisher=PEOPLE’S PUBLISHING HOUSE,NEW DELHI|year=1970|pages=811|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WzARcgAACAAJ&q=A+COMPREHENSIVE++HISTORY+OF+INDIA+VOL.5|quote=Rao Chunda, son of Rao Biram, who rose to prominence by establishing hinself at Mandor....He successfully resisted the attack of Zafar Khan of Gujarat on Mandor in 1396.

<br />
==Death==<br />
Chunda's aggressive expansion intimidated the surrounding chieftains, who made an alliance against him. This alliance included the Rao of [[Pugal]], Sankhlas of [[Jangladesh|Janglu]] and Khidar Khan of [[Multan]]. They attacked Chunda and surrounded him at [[Nagaur]]. There was treachery in Chunda's army<ref name=KA/> and therefore, Chunda did not anticipate the attack and was not able to make preparations to give battle. Finding no way out of the situation, he charged his enemies and was killed in action. Chunda's wife Sona urged him to appoint their son Kanha, as his successor. [[Ranmal]] was Chunda's eldest son however Chunda declared his younger son Kanha as his heir to appease Sona. Ranmal therefore left Marwar and went to the neighbouring kingdom of Mewar.<ref name=CD/> <br />

The '''6th King Edward's Own Cavalry''' was a [[cavalry]] [[regiment]] in the [[Bengal Army]] (1842–1895) and the [[British Indian Army]] (1895–1921) until it was amalgamated with the [[7th Hariana Lancers]] to form the [[18th King Edward's Own Cavalry]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Image:Shri Sir Nripendra Narayan, Maharaja of Cooch Behar.jpg|thumb|300px|Shri Sir Nripendra Narayan, Maharaja of Cooch Behar (1862-1911); seen here in 1896 in the dismounted review order uniform of a [[Major (rank)|Major]] of the 6th (Prince of Wales's) Bengal Cavalry]]<br />
The 6th King Edward's Own Cavalry was raised at [[Fatehgarh]] in 1842 by Lt W H Ryves as the 8th Regiment of Bengal Irregular Cavalry.<ref>Chris. Kempton: ''A Register of Titles of the Units of the H.E.I.C. & Indian Armies 1666-1947''</ref><ref>John Gaylor: ''Sons of John Company: The Indian and Pakistan Armies 1903- 1991.''</ref><br />
<br />
Their first action was in 1843 during the [[Gwalior campaign]] in central India for which they earned the battle honour ''[[Punniar]]''.<br />
<br />
In 1845 they were involved in the [[First Anglo-Sikh War]] and participated in the ''[[Battle of Mudki|Battle of Moodkee]]'', the ''[[Battle of Ferozeshah]]'' and the ''[[Battle of Sobraon]]''.<br />
<br />
They were next in action in [[Egypt]] during the [[1882 Anglo-Egyptian War]] where they were awarded the battle honours ''[[Egypt 1882]]'' as a theatre honour and for the ''[[Battle of Tel-El-Kebir]]''. It was while on service in Egypt that [[khaki]] was worn by all ranks for the first time.<ref>Bengal Cavalry Regiments 1857–1914 By R. G. Harris, Christopher Warner</ref><br />
<br />
During [[World War I]] they were part of the [[2nd (Sialkot) Cavalry Brigade]], [[1st Indian Cavalry Division]] which arrived in France in November 1914. They were involved in the [[First Battle of Ypres]] and other actions on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] but notably in the German [[Retreat to the Hindenburg Line]] and the [[Battle of Cambrai (1917)|Battle of Cambrai]].<ref>{{cite web | title=The 1st Indian Cavalry Division in 1914-1918 | url=http://www.1914-1918.net/1cavdiv_indian.htm | last=Baker | first=Chris | publisher=The Long, Long Trail | access-date=6 July 2008 }}</ref><br />

* [[17th (Duke of Cambridge's Own) Lancers]]<br />
* 6th King Edward's Own Cavalry<br />
* [[19th Lancers (Fane's Horse)]]<br />
* Brigade Signal Troop<br />
<br />
They moved to Egypt in March 1918 and were transferred to [[22nd Mounted Brigade]]. They took part in [[Edmund Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby|Allenby]]'s campaign in Palestine.<br />
<br />
The regiment then spent the period 1919–20 in West Asia on occupation duties. It returned to India in October 1920, landing at [[Bombay]] from where it took a train to [[Ferozepore]] which it reached on 15 October 1920.<br />
<br />
In 1921, the regiment was amalgamated with the [[7th Hariana Lancers]] to form the '''6th/7th Cavalry'''. This was quickly changed in 1922 to '''[[18th King Edward's Own Cavalry]]'''.<ref name=Mills18KEOC>{{cite web|url=http://regiments.org/regiments/southasia/cav/1921-18.htm |title=18th King Edward VII's Own Cavalry at regiments.org by T.F.Mills |access-date=2015-07-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070420083053/http://regiments.org/regiments/southasia/cav/1921-18.htm |archive-date=20 April 2007 |df=dmy }}</ref><br />
