The '''Maruti Suzuki Alto''' is a [[city car]] manufactured and marketed by [[Suzuki]] through its subsidiary [[Maruti Suzuki]] primarily for the Indian market since 2000. The first-generation model was essentially the Indian version of the [[Suzuki Alto#HA12|fifth-generation Suzuki Alto]] [[kei car]] (with larger engine options). The second generation was made as a standalone model, which was built on the same platform as the first generation.<ref name="MarutiAlto2">{{cite web|url=https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/new-maruti-alto-800-launched-319431|title=New Maruti Alto 800 launched|date=16 October 2010|work=Auto Car India}}</ref> The third-generation model is built on the same underpinnings as the [[Suzuki S-Presso|S-Presso]].

The first generation was launched to the local Indian market on 27 September 2000<ref name="Maruti" /> although the Alto nameplate had been successfully used to export the [[Maruti Zen|Maruti Suzuki Zen]] to Europe from India since around 1994,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blonnet.com/2008/02/29/stories/2008022951730300.htm|title=Maruti's exports cross half a million|date=28 February 2008|work=The Hindu Business Line|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100502022315/http://www.blonnet.com/2008/02/29/stories/2008022951730300.htm|archive-date=2 May 2010|access-date=26 January 2009|df=dmy-all}}</ref> having captured over 40% market share in Belgium and 33% in Netherlands by 1998.<ref>{{cite web |date=4 June 1998 |title=Maruti to decide on another price hike soon: MD |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/ie/daily/19980605/15650264.html |access-date=26 January 2009 |work=Indian Express}} [https://ciemborowicz.pl/dlaczego-warto-inwestowac-w-reklame-na-auto-i-jakie-korzysci-daje-mobilna-reklama/ reklama na samochód]</ref> The original Alto 800 carries the RF308 chassis code while the three-cylinder K10 is RF310; the four-cylinder export version is RF410.

The Alto was seen as a natural successor to the time-tested and equally popular [[Maruti 800]] (MB 308). It included all the advantages of the 800 model for Indian car buyers, along with additional features such as power steering, power-assisted braking, and a fifth gear, which the 800 lacked. The Alto's popularity has grown steadily in recent years, largely due to its competitive pricing, which has been reduced thanks to lower excise duties. The Alto became the first car in India to sell over 200,000 units in a single financial year, with the last 100,000 units sold within just five months. It also became the only car to sell more than 22,000 units in a single month. Maruti's extensive network of dealerships and Authorized Service Centers (MASS) has significantly contributed to the Alto's substantial success in the Indian entry-level car market.

=== Alto K10 (RF310) ===
Maruti Suzuki India launched a new version of the first generation Alto in the Indian auto market in August 2010, the Alto K10.<ref>Economic Times (30 July 2010). [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/Will-K-spell-magic-Maruti-to-launch-new-Alto-next-month/articleshow/6198364.cms Maruti Alto K10 Launch]</ref> The new Maruti Alto K10 is equipped with the company's 1.0-litre, [[Suzuki K engine|K-series]] DOHC inline-three petrol engine which also powered the Celerio and [[Suzuki Wagon R|Wagon R]], mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The {{convert|998|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}} [[Suzuki K engine#K10B|K10B engine]] delivers {{convert|68|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} of maximum power at 6200 rpm with {{convert|90|Nm|lbft kgm|0|abbr=on}} of maximum torque at 3200 rpm. The K10 has a redesigned front end, with more sculpted headlights. This spelled the end for the F10-engined model, while the F8-engined Alto was replaced by the all-new Alto 800 in late 2012. The Alto K10 remained in production until 2014.

=== Europe ===
This model, using the fuel injected 1061 cc [[Suzuki F engine#F10D|''F10D'' engine]], entered the European market at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2002|March 2002 Geneva Motor Show]].<ref name="SS03">{{cite journal|title=Katalog Samochody Świata 2003|journal=Samochody Świata|date=2002|publisher=Print Shops Prego - Polska Sp. z o.o.|editor-last=Mazur|editor-first=Eligiusz|location=Warsaw, Poland|page=198|trans-title=World Car Catalogue 2003|issn=1234-8198}}</ref> Being built in India by Maruti, it was only available with five doors, unlike earlier Maruti Zen-based Altos in Europe. Unlike in India, European model Alto was available with a 3-speed automatic transmission option.<ref name=AltoDE>{{cite web|url=https://www.veikl.com/d/Suzuki-Alto-Brochure-09-2004-DE-Germany-99061/10|title=Suzuki Alto Brochure 09/2004 DE Germany - Page 10|language=German|website=Veikl|access-date=2021-12-15|archive-date=2021-12-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215070631/https://www.veikl.com/d/Suzuki-Alto-Brochure-09-2004-DE-Germany-99061/10|url-status=dead}}</ref> The car was discontinued in 2006.

=== Specifications ===
Until the late 2010 introduction of the K10 Alto, it was powered by a three-cylinder {{convert|796|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}} gasoline engine with four valves per cylinder, MPFI and a 32-bit ECM. All models have a five-speed manual transmission. There also used to be a '''VX/VXi''' model (RF410) with a four-cylinder 1061-cc engine with {{convert|63|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|85|Nm|kgm lbft|0|abbr=on}} torque, launched in April 2001. This has now been discontinued, although it was sold for longer in certain European countries. The VX model also featured a tachometer not found in lesser Altos.

The Indian-made K10 version in its most basic Latin American market configuration with no airbags was crash tested by [[Latin NCAP]] 1.0 in 2013. It received 0 stars for the adult occupant and 3 stars for child occupant. The car is not equipped with airbags, front seatbelts with pretensioner, ISOFIX or ABS.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latinncap.com/en/result/30/suzuki-alto-k10-no-airbags|title=Suzuki Alto K10 - NO Airbags|publisher=Latin NCAP}}</ref>

A new version of the Alto called the Alto 800 was released in the Indian car market on 16 October 2012.<ref>{{cite web | title = Maruti Finally Presents Its Alto 800 To Indians | url = http://www.motortrend.in/autonews/6327/maruti-finally-presents-its-alto-800-to-indians.htm | work = MotorTrend India | publisher = Carazoo Online Solutions Pvt.

It replaced the first generation Maruti Alto (although the predecessor continued to be produced for a little longer), and while keeping the same {{convert|796|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}} engine, there have been several modifications. The base price of the Alto, already India's best-selling car, was actually lowered with the new model, as it replaced the venerable [[Maruti 800]]. Various methods were found to lower the price, including lowering the weight of each individual component by one gram each, and also by building their own robots for manufacturing the car.<ref name="Business">{{cite journal|last=Sen|first=Sunny|title=Honey, I shrunk the price: Maruti triggers price war with new Alto 800. Will it pay off?|url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/maruti-alto-price-cut/1/189546.html|journal=Business Today|date=12 November 2012 |publisher=Living Media India Limited|issue=2012–11–25|access-date=15 November 2012}}</ref> It was also sold as the '''Suzuki Alto 800''' in many export markets. In May 2016, a refreshed version of Alto 800 was introduced with notable changes to the exterior, interior, features and specifications. The new Maruti Alto 800 comes with improved fuel efficiency and is now capable of returning a mileage of 24.7 km/L (58.1 mpg US) In April 2019, the car received another refresh. The Alto 800 did not comply with [[BS VI|BSVI]] emissions standards and was thus discontinued in 2021 when BSVI Stage II was enforced.

=== Alto K10 ===
[[Maruti Suzuki]] then launched a K10-powered version of the second generation Alto (AOD310) on 3 November 2014.<ref name="Maruti Alto K10 Facelift Launched at Rs. 3.06 Lakh">{{cite web|url=http://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/next-gen-maruti-suzuki-alto-k10-launched-at-rs-306-lac-14410.htm|title=Maruti Alto K10 Facelift Launched at Rs. 3.06 Lakh|author=CarDekho Team|publisher=CarDekho.com|access-date=5 November 2014}}</ref> Introduced at a base price of Rs. 3.06 Lakh, the next gen Alto K10 comes with multiple exterior and interiors updates, however mechanically it remains same. The car is a somewhat upgraded version of the Alto 800 with a new front fascia comprising a new chrome fitted front grille, new swept back headlamps, and a redesigned bonnet line. There are also amendments for tail lights, restructuring of bumpers, 13-inch wheels, door mirrors, door moulding and some other minor modifications. Interiors too have been updated, with a new dashboard, three-spoke steering wheel, refined upholstery, black finished music system and a better looking instrument cluster. Other added features inside the car include front power windows, 12 V power socket, internally adjustable door mirrors, headlamp warning buzzer, key off reminder and gearshift indicator.

Powering the 2015 Alto K10 is the same 1.0-litre K10B engine that also powers the [[Suzuki Celerio|Celerio]] and [[Maruti Suzuki Wagon R|Wagon R]]. However, this time it has been tuned to provide better fuel economy, and the new Alto K10 returns an [[Automotive Research Association of India|ARAI]]-certified fuel economy of 24.06 km/L (56.6 mpg US), 15 percent better than the outgoing model. The Alto K10 facelift is available with two different transmission; 5-speed manual and 5-speed [[Semi-automatic transmission#Suzuki|Auto Gear Shift (AGS)]] transmission. The AGS is an automated manual transmission technology, which shifts gear with the help of an ECU mapped actuator on pre-defined engine speeds. It also allows driver to shift gears when required.

The Alto K10 was discontinued in 2022, being temporarily replaced by the [[Maruti Suzuki S-Presso|S-Presso]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gaadiwaadi.com/maruti-alto-k10-discontinued-as-s-presso-establishes-itself-in-the-market/|title=Maruti Alto K10 Discontinued As S-Presso Establishes Itself In The Market|date=2020-02-01|publisher=GaadiWaadi.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200206051738/https://gaadiwaadi.com/maruti-alto-k10-discontinued-as-s-presso-establishes-itself-in-the-market/|archive-date=2020-02-06}}</ref> The 800 cc variant was later fully discontinued in 2022 due to new emission standards.

==Building and architecture==
The building is a three storied building set out in [[Palladian architecture|Palladian]] form and is constructed in a stripped neo-classical style of architecture with its longitudinal axis running north and south directions. It is constructed in brick and then plastered and also features a hipped Allahabad tiled roof.<ref name="Thesis" /> The ground floor accommodates the offices and the Durbar Hall also known as council chamber, while the first floor has reception rooms. The drawing and dining rooms are also located on the first floor with each measuring 43 by 33 feet.<ref name="Gazette">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a-QaOP5nK-MC&q=Government+House|title=Bihar And Orissa District Gazetteers Patna|last=O`malley|first=L.

The [[Durbar Hall]] and [[Ballroom]] lies on the west of the main block with an area of 65.5 by 43 feet and rise through two floors of the building. The hall is overlooked by colonnaded balconies of the first floor and has a large widening staircase.<ref name="Gazette" /> Both the north and south ends of the main block accommodates the guesthouse block and kitchen. The main block of the house is connected to the kitchen by a connecting bridge. Munnings designed the house with each floor having distinctive functions - ground floor for offices, first floor for reception rooms and second floor for main bedrooms.<ref name="Thesis" />

The top floor consists of bedrooms - 15 in total - each having its own bathroom and furnished with electric ceiling fans, a luxury item at that time. Munnings also installed lifts at both ends of the main building. The notable design features of the building are decorative plaster work in the drawing, dining rooms and the Durbar Hall. The expanded metal plastered ceilings and [[jack arch]] flooring are also distinctive features inside the building.<ref name="Thesis" /> The floor of Durbar Hall is made up of teak planking supported on springs which also doubled up as a ballroom.<ref name="Gazette" /> The house also features highly decorative marble fireplaces and mouldings.<ref name="Thesis" />

==Compound==
The Government House at Patna was planned on a compound of 100 acres in area. The campus contained a number of lawn tennis courts between the two main approach drives.<ref name="Gazette" /> A compound wall surrounds the house and Munnings also designed the main gate piers and police barracks to guard the entrance. The gardens in the campus was designed by Munnings and Mr. Head - then Superintendent of the Government Parks and Gardens, [[Allahabad]] - in 1916.<ref name="Thesis" />

==Donation of land to Patna Zoo==
In 1970, then Governor of Bihar - [[Nityanand Kanungo]] - donated 34 acres of land from the Governor House campus for the establishment of a Botanical Garden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.zoopatna.com/history.aspx|title=SANJAY GANDHI BIOLOGICAL PARK|website=www.zoopatna.com|access-date=2018-03-04|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511082525/https://www.zoopatna.com/history.aspx|archivedate=11 May 2018|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Location==
Raj Bhavan is located in Rajbansi locality of Patna. The roundabout in front of the main gate of Governor's House has a statue of [[Rajendra Prasad]] - the first President of India. Desh Ratna Marg - Desh Ratna is an [[Honorary titles of Indian leaders|honorary title]] given to Rajendra Prasad - connects the Raj Bhavan to Patna Secretariat, while Anne Marg at approximately an angle of 45 degrees in south east direction connects to the residence of [[Chief Minister of Bihar]] - [[1 Anne Marg]].

The '''Sadanic languages''' are [[Bihari languages]] in the [[Indo-Aryan languages]]. The languages are mostly spoken in the [[Jharkhand]] state of India.<ref name="Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics">{{Cite journal|last1=Paudyal|first1=Netra P.|last2=Peterson|first2=John|date=2020-09-01|title=How one language became four: the impact of different contact-scenarios between "Sadani" and the tribal languages of Jharkhand|journal=Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics|language=en|volume=7|issue=2|pages=275–306|doi=10.1515/jsall-2021-2028|issn=2196-078X|doi-access=free}}</ref>

According to the [[2011 Census of India]], the Sadanic languages had 5.7 million native speakers:  5.1 million [[Nagpuri language|Nagpuri]] (including 4.3 million [[Sadri language|Sadri]]), 0.3 million [[Kurmali language|Kurmali Thar]], and 0.2 million [[Panchpargania language|Panch Pargania]].<ref>{{cite report|title=LANGUAGE (PAPER 1 OF 2018)-CENSUS OF INDIA 2011 |publisher=Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India |url=https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/42458/download/46089/C-16_25062018.pdf}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The [[Nagpuri language]] is known as Sadani as the native language of the [[Sadan people]], the Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group of Chotanagpur. Sadani also referred to closely related Indo-Aryan languages of Jharkhand such as Nagpuri, [[Panchpargania]], [[Kurmali language|Kurmali]] and [[Khortha language|Khortha]]. The origin of the word Sadan is somewhat obscure.<ref name="Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics"/><ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.academia.edu/7294382|title=Sadani / Sadri|publisher=academia.edu|author=Savita Kiran, John Peterson|access-date=5 October 2022}}</ref>

==History==
The Indo Aryan languages of Jharkhand such as [[Nagpuri language|Nagpuri]], [[Panchpargania]], [[Kurmali language|Kurmali]], and [[Khortha language|Khortha]] are known as Sadani languages. Earlier linguists had classified these languages as dialects of [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]] and [[Magahi language|Magahi]], but recent research suggests that these languages developed from a single ancestor language and are closer to each other than to other Bihari languages. Their differences are due to their geographical distribution and contact with different tribal [[Munda languages]].<ref name="Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics"/>

According to scholars, the Sadri/Nagpuri language was in contact with the [[Mundari language]]. Due to widespread use as a [[lingua franca]], it lost [[ergativity]] as Munda languages have no ergativity. It gained attributive possession between alienable and inalienable in third person possessor. It lacks loan words from Dravidian and Austroasiatic languages but contributed countless loan words in its contact languages. According to Abbi (1997), Indo-Aryan languages influenced Dravidian and Austroasiatic languages. The converse marker of [[Kharia language|Kharia]] (-ke, -kon) and [[Kurukh language|Kurukh]] (-ki) is due to influence from Indo-Aryan language.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PSFBDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA316|title=The Languages and Linguistics of South Asia: A Comprehensive Guide|publisher=Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG|author=Hans Henrich Hock, Elena Bashir|page=316|year=2016|isbn=978-3110423303}}</ref>

Panchparganiya does not have large numbers of loan words. It retain its morphological ergativity and did not develop an alienable or inalienable distinction in attributive possession.<ref name="Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics"/>

The '''Lucknow–Moradabad line''' (also known as Lucknow–Moradabad main line) is a railway line connecting [[Lucknow Charbagh railway station|Lucknow]] and {{stnlnk|Moradabad}} railway stations, both in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. The line is under the administrative jurisdiction of [[Northern Railway zone|Northern Railway]].

==History==
After connecting Varanasi with Lucknow, the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]] started working west of Lucknow. Construction of railway line from Lucknow to Sandila and then on to Hardoi was completed in 1872. The line up to Bareilly was completed in 1873. A line connecting Moradabad to Chandausi was also built in 1872 and it was continued up to Bareilly in 1873. The Bareilly–Moradabad chord was completed in 1894. The former main line became Chandausi loop and the one via Rampur became main line. A branch line linked Chandausi to Aligarh in 1894.<ref name=orr>{{cite web | url = http://management.ebooks6.com/The-Oudh-Rohilkhand-Railway-download-w23852.html | title = Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway | publisher = Management Ebooks | access-date = 17 January 2014 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.today/20140111051716/http://management.ebooks6.com/The-Oudh-Rohilkhand-Railway-download-w23852.html | archive-date = 11 January 2014 | df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html |title = IR History – Early Days II (1870-1899)| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 17 January 2014}}</ref>

'''Varagunavarman II''' ({{langx|ta|வரகுண வர்மன்}}), also known as '''Varaguna II,''' and Arimardhana, was a king of the [[Pandyan Dynasty|Pandya dynasty]] in south India whose reign lasted from c. 862 until c. 879 CE.<ref>Sastri, K.

The Lankan sources and Pandyan sources vary each other. According to the K. A Nilakanta Sastry and other historians Pandyan sources are reliable. He mentions in his book named 'Pandyan Kingdom' that "The Pandyan side of the evidence makes the ruling king successful in repelling a Maya Pandya and thus keeping his throne to himself at the end of the struggle, the Ceylon account makes out a disaster of the first magnitude to the Pandyan kingdom from the story of the counter-invasion undertaken by Sena partly in support of the Pandya prince There is no possibility of reconciling these accounts, one of them must be rejected as untrustworthy Now, on the face of it, it seems impossible to suppose that such a serious disaster befell the Pandya power in the reign of Srimara and that the Sinnamanur plates suppressed the truth or deliberately gave a false account of the reign. On the other hand, the Mahavamsa is a highly embellished and poetic account of the history of Ceylon. And one cannot help feeling that in this chapter of the Mahavamsa some transactions belonging to a later age (twelfth century A D.) have been repeated perhaps to take off the edge from the story of the conquest of Ceylon by the Pandya king, narrated a little earlier. When we come to the Pandyan civil wars of the twelfth century in which Ceylonese kings often interfered, we shall see that the Mahavamsa persistently colours the account favourably to the Ceylonese kings and commanders Our conclusion, therefore, is that Srimara did carry out a successful raid against Ceylon and that he repulsed the attempt at retaliation.<ref name="Sastri, K. A 1929"/><ref name="South Indian Inscriptions 2025"/>

== Battle of Idavai and vembil ==

Both of which places are on the north side of the Kavery river, and therefore in territory belonging to the Gangas.Ganga king Prithivipati I effected an alliance with the Pallava king Nripatunga, whose country was in danger from the Pandya's advance, and together the Ganga and Pallava forces the latter led by the crown prince Aparajita attacked Varaguna. An officer of his, who had accompanied Varaguna when he captured the town of Idavai on the north bank of the Kaveri, constructed a tank near Dindigul.<ref>{{Cite book |url=http://archive.org/details/historicalinscri035270mbp |title=Historical Inscriptions Of Southern INida |publisher=Kitabistam, Allahabad |others=BRAOU, Digital Library Of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=The Pandyan kingdom : From the earliest to the sixteenth century | date=1929 | url=https://archive.org/details/dli.csl.5955/page/n83/mode/1up }}</ref>

{{Main|Battle of Thirupurambiyam}}
Varaguna tried to check the Pallava influence by marching north (and even crossing the [[Kaveri]] in the [[Chola dynasty|Chola]] country by c. 879 AD).<ref name=":2">Sastri, K. A. Nilakanta.

A decisive battle was fought at Sri Purambiyam (Tiruppurambiyam near [[Kumbakonam]]) in c. 880 AD. An alliance led by the Pallava Aparajita, supported by Chola [[Aditya I]] and [[Western Ganga dynasty|Ganga]] Prithvipati I, opposed and defeated the Pandya king (although Prithvipati I lost his life in the battle).<ref name=":2" /> The Pandya advance was rolled back.<ref name=":3">Sastri, K.

'''Aortic dissection''' ('''AD''') occurs when an injury to the [[Tunica intima|innermost layer]] of the [[aorta]] allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, [[Dissection (medical)|forcing the layers apart]].<ref name=Criado2011/> In most cases, this is associated with a sudden onset of agonizing [[acute aortic syndrome|chest or back pain]], often described as "tearing" in character.<ref name=Lancet2016/><ref name=White2013/> [[Vomiting]], [[diaphoresis|sweating]], and [[lightheadedness]] may also occur.<ref name=White2013/> Damage to other organs may result from the decreased blood supply, such as [[stroke]], lower extremity ischemia, or [[mesenteric ischemia]].<ref name=White2013/> Aortic dissection can quickly lead to death from [[Coronary ischemia|insufficient blood flow to the heart]] or complete [[Aortic rupture|rupture of the aorta]].<ref name=White2013/>


AD is more common in those with a history of [[hypertension|high blood pressure]]; a number of [[connective tissue disease]]s that affect blood vessel wall strength including [[Marfan syndrome]] and [[Ehlers–Danlos syndrome]]; a [[bicuspid aortic valve]]; and previous [[heart surgery]].<ref name="White2013">{{cite journal|last1=White|first1=A|last2=Broder|first2=J|last3=Mando-Vandrick|first3=J|last4=Wendell|first4=J|last5=Crowe|first5=J|title=Acute aortic emergencies – part 2: aortic dissections|journal=[[Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal]]|date=2013|volume=35|issue=1|pages=28–52|pmid=23364404|doi=10.1097/tme.0b013e31827145d0}}</ref><ref name="Criado2011" /> [[Major trauma]], [[smoking]], [[cocaine]] use, [[pregnancy]], a [[thoracic aortic aneurysm]], [[arteritis|inflammation of arteries]], and [[dyslipidemia|abnormal lipid levels]] are also associated with an increased risk.<ref name=Lancet2016/><ref name=White2013/> The diagnosis is suspected based on symptoms with [[medical imaging]], such as [[CT scan]], [[magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]], or [[echocardiography|ultrasound]] used to confirm and further evaluate the dissection.<ref name=Lancet2016/> The two main types are Stanford type A, which involves the [[ascending aorta|first part of the aorta]], and type B, which does not.<ref name=Lancet2016/>

While the pain may be confused with that of a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]], AD is usually not associated with the other suggestive signs, such as [[heart failure]] and [[ECG]] changes. Less common symptoms that may be seen in the setting of AD include [[congestive heart failure]] (7%), [[syncope (medicine)|fainting]] (9%), [[stroke]] (6%), ischemic [[peripheral neuropathy]], [[paraplegia]], and [[cardiac arrest]].<ref name=She2013>{{cite journal|last=Sheikh|first=AS|author2=Ali K|author3= Mazhar S|title=Acute aortic syndrome.|journal=Circulation|date=September 3, 2013|volume=128|issue=10|pages=1122–1127|pmid=24002714|doi=10.1161/circulationaha.112.000170|doi-access=free}}</ref> If the individual fainted, about half the time it is due to bleeding into the pericardium, leading to pericardial tamponade.

If the AD involves the abdominal aorta, compromise of one or both [[renal artery|renal arteries]] occurs in 5–8% of cases which may cause kidney damage, while [[mesenteric ischemia|ischemia of the intestines]] occurs about 3% of the time.<ref name="pmid26024781">{{cite journal |vauthors=Orihashi K |title=Mesenteric ischemia in acute aortic dissection |journal=Surgery Today |volume=46 |issue=5 |pages=509–516 |date=May 2016 |pmid=26024781 |doi=10.1007/s00595-015-1193-4 |s2cid=2896905 }}</ref><ref name="pmid28823323">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kamman AV, Yang B, Kim KM, Williams DM, Michael Deeb G, Patel HJ |title=Visceral Malperfusion in Aortic Dissection: The Michigan Experience |journal=Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery |volume=29 |issue=2 |pages=173–178 |date=2017 |pmid=28823323 |doi=10.1053/j.semtcvs.2016.10.002 }}</ref>

===Blood pressure===
People with AD often have a history of [[hypertension|high blood pressure]]. The blood pressure is quite variable at presentation with acute AD. It tends to be higher in individuals with a distal dissection. In individuals with a proximal AD, 36% present with hypertension, while 25% present with [[hypotension]]. Proximal AD tends to be associated with weakening of the vascular wall due to [[cystic medial degeneration]]. In those who present with distal (Stanford type B) AD, 60–70% present with high blood pressure, while 2–3% present with [[hypotension|low blood pressure]].<ref name="Alfson2017">{{cite journal|last1=Alfson|first1=DB|last2=Ham|first2=SW|title=Type B Aortic Dissections: Current Guidelines for Treatment|journal=Cardiology Clinics|date=August 2017|volume=35|issue=3|pages=387–410|doi=10.1016/j.ccl.2017.03.007|pmid=28683909}}</ref>

Severe hypotension at presentation is a grave prognostic indicator. It is usually associated with pericardial tamponade, severe aortic insufficiency, or rupture of the aorta.

===Aortic insufficiency===
[[Aortic insufficiency]] (AI) occurs in half to two-thirds of ascending AD, and the diastolic [[heart sounds|heart murmur]] of aortic insufficiency is audible in about 32% of proximal dissections. The intensity (loudness) of the murmur depends on the blood pressure and may be inaudible in the event of low blood pressure.<ref>{{cite journal |url= https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557428/ | title= Aortic Insufficiency

Multiple causes exist for AI in the setting of ascending AD. The dissection may dilate the annulus of the [[aortic valve]], preventing the leaflets of the valve from coapting. The dissection may extend into the aortic root and detach the aortic valve leaflets. Alternatively, following an extensive intimal tear, the intimal flap may prolapse into the [[left ventricular outflow tract]], causing intimal [[intussusception (blood vessel growth)|intussusception]] into the aortic valve, thereby preventing proper valve closure.<ref>{{cite journal |url= https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557428/ | title= Aortic Insufficiency | website= National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine | year= 2022 | pmid= 32491360 | access-date= 29 June 2021| last1= Patibandla | first1= S. | last2= Heaton | first2= J. | last3= Azzam | first3= J. S. }}</ref>

===Myocardial infarction===
[[Myocardial infarction|Heart attack]] occurs in 1–2% of aortic dissections. Infarction is caused by the involvement of the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]], which supply the heart with oxygenated blood, in the dissection. The right coronary artery is involved more commonly than the left coronary artery. If the myocardial infarction is treated with [[thrombolytic]] therapy, the mortality increases to over 70%, mostly due to bleeding into the pericardial sac, causing [[cardiac tamponade]].<ref>{{cite journal |url= https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459269/ |last1= Mechanic |first1= O |last2= Gavin |first2= M | last3= Grossman | first3= S |date= 9 March 2021 | title= Acute Myocardial Infarction

== Predisposing factors ==
Aortic dissection is associated with [[hypertension]] (high blood pressure) and many [[connective tissue]] disorders. [[Vasculitis]] ([[inflammation]] of an artery) is rarely associated with aortic dissection. It can also be the result of chest trauma. About 72 to 80% of individuals who present with an aortic dissection have a previous history of hypertension. Use of stimulants such as [[cocaine]] and [[methamphetamine]] is also a modifiable risk factor for AD.<ref name="Lech2017"/><ref name="pmid25657055">{{cite journal |vauthors=Stankowski RV, Kloner RA, Rezkalla SH |title=Cardiovascular consequences of cocaine use |journal=Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine |volume=25 |issue=6 |pages=517–526 |date=August 2015 |pmid=25657055 |doi=10.1016/j.tcm.2014.12.013 }}</ref> It can also be caused by smoking.

A [[bicuspid aortic valve]] (a type of [[congenital heart disease]] involving the [[aortic valve]]) is found in 7–14% of individuals who have an aortic dissection. These individuals are prone to dissection in the ascending aorta. The risk of dissection in individuals with bicuspid aortic valves is not associated with the degree of [[aortic stenosis|stenosis]] of the valve.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

[[Connective tissue disorder]]s such as [[Marfan syndrome]], [[Ehlers–Danlos syndromes|Ehlers–Danlos syndrome]], and [[Loeys–Dietz syndrome]] increase the risk of aortic dissection.<ref name="Alfson2017"/> Similarly, vasculitides such as [[Takayasu's arteritis]], [[giant cell arteritis]], [[polyarteritis nodosa]], and [[Behçet's disease]] have been associated with a subsequent aortic dissection.<ref name="Alfson2017"/><ref name="Lech2017"/> Marfan syndrome is found in 5–9% of individuals who had an aortic dissection. In this subset, the incidence in young individuals is increased. Individuals with Marfan syndrome tend to have aneurysms of the aorta and are more prone to proximal dissections of the aorta.<ref name="pmid24443022">{{cite book |vauthors=Cook JR, Ramirez F |title=Progress in Heritable Soft Connective Tissue Diseases |chapter=Clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of the Marfan syndrome |volume=802 |pages=77–94 |date=2014 |pmid=24443022 |doi=10.1007/978-94-007-7893-1_6 |series=Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-94-007-7892-4 }}</ref>

[[Turner syndrome]] also increases the risk of aortic dissection, by aortic root dilatation.<ref name=Turner2006/>

Chest trauma leading to aortic dissection can be divided into two groups based on cause: blunt chest trauma (commonly seen in [[car accident]]s) and [[iatrogenic]]. Iatrogenic causes include trauma during [[cardiac catheterization]] or due to an [[intra-aortic balloon pump]].{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

Aortic dissection may be a late sequela of [[cardiac surgery|heart surgery]]. About 18% of individuals who present with an acute aortic dissection have a history of open-heart surgery. Individuals who have undergone aortic valve replacement for [[aortic insufficiency]] are at particularly high risk because aortic regurgitation causes increased blood flow in the ascending aorta. This can cause dilatation and weakening of the walls of the ascending aorta.<ref>{{cite journal |pmc=4429846 |date=2015 |title=Aortic dissection associated with blunt chest trauma diagnosed by elevated D-dimer |journal=International Journal of Surgery Case Reports |volume=10 |pages=76–79 |doi=10.1016/j.ijscr.2015.03.027 |pmid=25805614 | vauthors = Penn JL, Martindale JL, Milne LW, Marill KA}}</ref>

[[Syphilis]] only potentially causes aortic dissection in its tertiary stage.<ref name=Kamalakannan2007/>

==Pathophysiology==
[[File:AoDissect Schema 01a.png|right|thumb|Blood penetrates the intima and enters the media layer.]]
As with all other arteries, the aorta is made up of three layers, the [[tunica intima|intima]], the [[tunica media|media]], and the [[tunica adventitia|adventitia]]. The intima is in direct contact with the blood inside the vessel, and mainly consists of a layer of [[endothelium|endothelial cells]] on a [[basement membrane]]; the media contains connective and muscle tissue, and the vessel is protected on the outside by the adventitia, comprising connective tissue.<ref name=Hiratzka2010/>

In an aortic dissection, blood penetrates the intima and enters the media layer. The high pressure rips the [[biological tissue|tissue]] of the media apart along the laminated plane splitting the inner two-thirds and the outer one-third of the media apart.<ref name=Seidensticker2008>{{cite book |last1=Das |first1=M. |last2=Mahnken |first2=A. H. |last3=Wildberger |first3=J. E. |editor1-last=Seidensticker |editor1-first=P. R. |editor2-last=Hofmann |editor2-first=L. K. |title=Dual Source CT Imaging |publisher=Springer Medizin |location=Heidelberg |year=2008 |isbn=978-3-540-77601-7}}</ref> This can propagate along the length of the aorta for a variable distance forward or backward. Dissections that propagate towards the iliac bifurcation (with the flow of blood) are called anterograde dissections and those that propagate towards the aortic root (opposite of the flow of blood) are called retrograde dissections. The initial tear is usually within 100 mm of the [[aortic valve]], so a retrograde dissection can easily compromise the pericardium leading to a hemopericardium. Anterograde dissections may propagate all the way to the iliac bifurcation of the aorta, rupture the aortic wall, or recanalize into the intravascular lumen leading to a double-barrel aorta. The double-barrel aorta relieves the pressure of blood flow and reduces the risk of rupture. Rupture leads to hemorrhaging into a body cavity, and prognosis depends on the area of rupture. Retroperitoneal and pericardial ruptures are both possible.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.lecturio.com/concepts/abdominal-aortic-aneurysms/ | title= Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms | website= The Lecturio Medical Concept Library | date= 16 October 2020 | access-date= 30 June 2021}}</ref>

[[File:Aortic dissection (1) Victoria blue-HE.jpg|thumb|Histopathological image of dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta in a patient without evidence of Marfan syndrome: The damaged aorta was surgically removed and replaced by artificial vessel, Victoria blue and HE stain.]]
The initiating event in aortic dissection is a tear in the intimal lining of the aorta. Due to the high pressures in the aorta, blood enters the media at the point of the tear. The force of the blood entering the space between the intima and media layers causes the tear to extend. It may extend proximally (closer to the heart) or distally (away from the heart) or both. The blood travels through the space, creating a [[pseudoaneurysm|false lumen]] (the true lumen is the normal conduit of blood in the aorta). Separating the false lumen from the true lumen is a layer of intimal tissue known as the intimal flap.<ref name="Mussa 2025" />

Two-thirds of aortic dissections involve the ascending aorta, the rest involve only the descending aorta (type B aortic dissections).<ref name="Mussa 2025" />

While it is not always clear why an intimal tear may occur, quite often it involves degeneration of the [[collagen]] and [[elastin]] that make up the media. This is known as [[cystic medial necrosis]] and is most commonly associated with Marfan syndrome and is also associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.<ref name="omim.org">{{cite web |url= https://omim.org/entry/607086 | title= Aortic Aneurysm, Familial Thoracic 1; AAT1

In about 13% of aortic dissections, no evidence of an intimal tear is found. In these cases, the inciting event is thought to be an intramural [[hematoma]] (caused by bleeding within the media). Since no direct connection exists between the true lumen and the false lumen in these cases, diagnosing an aortic dissection by [[#Aortogram|aortography]] is difficult if the cause is an intramural hematoma. An aortic dissection secondary to an intramural hematoma should be treated the same as one caused by an intimal tear.<ref name="omim.org"/><ref name="Elsevier Health Sciences"/>

==Diagnosis==
Because of the varying symptoms of aortic dissection, the diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make. Concern should be increased in those with low blood pressure, neurological problems, and unequal pulses.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Ohle|first1=R|last2=Kareemi|first2=HK|last3=Wells|first3=G|last4=Perry|first4=JJ|title=Clinical Examination for Acute Aortic Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.|journal=Academic Emergency Medicine|volume=25|issue=4|pages=397–412|date=18 December 2017|doi=10.1111/acem.13360|pmid=29265487|doi-access=free}}</ref>

The diagnosis of aortic dissection is made by visualization of the intimal flap on a diagnostic imaging test. The gold standard test is [[CT angiography]] of the aorta. Other possible tests include a [[CT scan]] of the chest, cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI), or [[echocardiography]].<ref name="Baliga 2014">{{cite journal |last1=Baliga |first1=Ragavendra R. |last2=Nienaber |first2=Christoph A. |last3=Bossone |first3=Eduardo |last4=Oh |first4=Jae K. |last5=Isselbacher |first5=Eric M. |last6=Sechtem |first6=Udo |last7=Fattori |first7=Rossella |last8=Raman |first8=Subha V. |last9=Eagle |first9=Kim A. |title=The Role of Imaging in Aortic Dissection and Related Syndromes |journal=JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging |date=April 2014 |volume=7 |issue=4 |pages=406–424 |doi=10.1016/j.jcmg.2013.10.015 |pmid=24742892 }}</ref><ref name="Corvino 2024">{{cite journal |last1=Corvino |first1=Antonio |last2=Lonardo |first2=Valeria |last3=Tafuri |first3=Domenico |last4=Cocco |first4=Giulio |last5=Pizzi |first5=Andrea Delli |last6=Boccatonda |first6=Andrea |last7=Corvino |first7=Fabio |last8=Costantino |first8=Thomas G. |last9=Horer |first9=Tal |last10=Catalano |first10=Orlando |title=Aortic dissection: How to identify it during an abdominal ultrasound examination and achieve a potentially lifesaving diagnosis |journal=Journal of Clinical Ultrasound |date=September 2024 |volume=52 |issue=7 |pages=967–972 |doi=10.1002/jcu.23741 |pmid=38822664 |hdl=11585/1010575 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

===D-dimer===
A measurement of blood [[D-dimer]] level may be useful in diagnostic evaluation.

===Chest X-ray===
[[File:AoDiss ChestXRay.jpg|thumb|Aortic dissection on CXR: Note is made of a wide [[aortic knob]].]]
According to the American Heart Association (AHA) a [[chest x-ray]] should not be used to diagnose or assess for aortic dissections. The AHA states that chest x-rays are not adequately sensitive nor specific to accurately diagnose aortic dissections.<ref name="Isselbacher 2022">{{cite journal |last1=Isselbacher |first1=Eric M. |last2=Preventza |first2=Ourania |last3=Hamilton Black |first3=James |display-authors=etal |title=2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease: A Report of the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines |journal=Circulation |date=13 December 2022 |volume=146 |issue=24 |pages=e334–e482 |doi=10.1161/CIR.0000000000001106 |pmid=36322642 |pmc=9876736 }}</ref>

However, certain findings on a chest x-ray may suggest an aortic dissection. These findings include: widening of the [[mediastinum]], disruption of the normal contour of the [[aortic knob]], the calcium sign (a separation of more than 5 mm of the calcified intimal plaque layer from the aortic wall), a "double density" seen in the aorta, and deviation of the trachea to the right.<ref name="Isselbacher 2022"/>

===Computed tomography===
[[Computed tomography angiography]] has a 98-100% sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing aortic dissections.

[[Transthoracic echocardiography]] is not recommended in the evaluation of aortic dissections owing to its limited ability to evaluate the aortic arch, the descending aorta or the blood vessels branching from the aorta. Its sensitivity may be further reduced in patients with obesity or [[lung emphysema]].<ref name="Isselbacher 2022" /><ref name="Vardhanabhuti 2016" /> Transthoracic echocardiography has high sensitivity in evaluating the [[aortic root]] and proximal ascending aorta.<ref name="Vardhanabhuti 2016" /><ref name="Isselbacher 2022" /> It can also be done at bedside and no sedation is required.

[[Transesophageal echocardiography]] has a sensitivity of 96.8% and specificity of 100% in the diagnosis of aortic dissections. It is also able to assess the [[descending aorta]] in the thorax. It can also assess the [[aortic valve]] and other heart valves, as well as assess the true lumen or false lumin of aortic dissections, which can help guide surgical repair planning and options.<ref name="Isselbacher 2022" /> Transesophageal echocardiography requires the person to be sedated.<ref name="Vardhanabhuti 2016" />

===Aortogram===
{{Main|Aortography}}
An aortogram involves injection of contrast material while taking X-rays of the aorta. Once commonly used, its use has since been supplanted by less invasive and more sensitive imaging modalities. The American Heart Association does not recommend the use of aortograms as a first line imaging modality in the diagnoses of aortic dissections. They note that aortograms have limited sensitivity and are more invasive than other tests.<ref name="Isselbacher 2022" />

Several different classification systems have been used to describe aortic dissections. One such classification is based on chronicity and labels aortic dissections as hyperacute (<24 hours duration), acute (2–7 days), subacute (8–30 days), and chronic (>30 days).<ref name="Lech2017">{{cite journal|last1=Lech|first1=C|last2=Swaminathan|first2=A|title=Abdominal Aortic Emergencies|journal=Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America|date=November 2017|volume=35|issue=4|pages=847–867|doi=10.1016/j.emc.2017.07.003|pmid=28987432}}</ref> The systems commonly in use are based on either the anatomy of the dissection or the duration of onset of symptoms before the presentation. The Stanford system is used more commonly now, as it is more attuned to the management of the patient.{{sfn|Demers|Miller|2016|p=1216}}

=== DeBakey ===
The DeBakey system, named after cardiothoracic surgeon [[Michael E. DeBakey]], is an anatomical description of the aortic dissection. It categorizes the dissection based on where the original intimal tear is located and the extent of the dissection (localized to either the ascending aorta or descending aorta or involving both the ascending and descending aorta).<ref name=DeBakey1965/>
* '''Type I''' – originates in ascending aorta, and propagates at least to the aortic arch and often beyond it distally. It is most often seen in patients less than 65 years of age and is the most lethal form of the disease.
* '''Type II''' – originates in the ascending aorta and is confined to it.
* '''Type III''' – originates in the descending aorta and rarely extends proximally, but will extend distally. It most often occurs in elderly patients with [[atherosclerosis]] and hypertension.

=== Stanford ===
The Stanford classification is divided into two groups, A and B, depending on whether the ascending aorta is involved.<ref name=Daily1970/>
* '''A''' – TAAD involves the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch, and possibly the descending aorta. The tear can originate in the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, or more rarely, in the descending aorta. It includes DeBakey types I and II.
* '''B''' – TBAD involves the descending aorta or the arch (distal to the left subclavian artery), without the involvement of the ascending aorta. It includes DeBakey type III.

The Stanford classification is useful as it follows clinical practice, as type A ascending aortic dissections generally require primary surgical treatment, whereas type B dissections generally are treated medically as initial treatment with surgery reserved for any complications.<ref name="Aortic Dissection">{{cite web |url= https://www.lecturio.com/concepts/aortic-dissection/ | title= Aortic Dissection
| website= The Lecturio Medical Concept Library | access-date= 29 June 2021}}</ref>

The main indication for surgical repair of type A dissections is the prevention of acute hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade due to leakage of blood through the dissected layers of the intrapericardial proximal aorta. A secondary indication is acute aortic valve insufficiency (regurgitation): ascending aortic dissections often involve the aortic valve, which, having lost its suspensory support, telescopes down into the aortic root, resulting in aortic incompetence. The valve must be resuspended to be reseated, as well as to repair or prevent coronary artery injury. Also, the area of dissection is removed and replaced with a Dacron graft to prevent further dissection from occurring. However, type B dissections are not improved, from a mortality point of view, by the operation, unless leaking, rupture, or compromise to other organs, e.g. kidneys, occurs.<ref name="Aortic Dissection"/>

==Prevention==
Among the recognized risk factors for aortic dissection, hypertension, [[Dyslipidemia|abnormally high levels of lipids (such as cholesterol) in the blood]], and smoking tobacco are considered preventable risk factors.<ref name=Lancet2016/>

Repair of an enlargement of the ascending aorta from an [[aortic aneurysm]] or previously unrecognized and untreated aortic dissections is recommended when greater than {{convert|5.5|cm|1|abbr=on}} in size to decrease the risk of dissection. Repair may be recommended when greater than {{convert|4.5|cm|1|abbr=on}} in size if the person has one of the several connective-tissue disorders or a family history of a ruptured aorta.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Saliba|first1=Emile|last2=Sia|first2=Ying|date=2015-01-20|title=The ascending aortic aneurysm: When to intervene?|journal=International Journal of Cardiology, Heart & Vasculature|volume=6|pages=91–100|doi=10.1016/j.ijcha.2015.01.009|pmid=38598654 |issn=2352-9067|pmc=5497177}}</ref>

==Management==
In an acute dissection, treatment choice depends on its location. For Stanford type A (ascending aortic) dissection, surgical management is superior to medical management.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> For uncomplicated Stanford type B (distal aortic) dissections (including abdominal aortic dissections), medical management is preferred over surgery.<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last1=Levy |first1=David |title=Aortic Dissection |date=2023 |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441963/ |work=StatPearls |access-date=2023-10-31 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=28722992 |last2=Goyal |first2=Amandeep |last3=Grigorova |first3=Yulia |last4=Farci |first4=Fabiola |last5=Le |first5=Jacqueline K.}}</ref> Complicated Stanford type B aortic dissections require surgical intervention after initiation of medical therapy, with endovascular stent-grafting (TEVAR) available as a less invasive alternative to surgery.<ref name=":0" /> Complications in type B aortic dissections that require TEVAR or surgical correction are aortic rupture or blood leak outside the aorta, and organ malperfusion due to the dissection blocking branch vessels from the aorta.<ref name="Mussa 2025"/>

The risk of death due to aortic dissection is highest in the first few hours after the dissection begins, and decreases afterward.<ref name=":0" /> Because of this, the therapeutic strategies differ for the treatment of an acute dissection compared to a chronic dissection. An acute dissection is one in which the individual presents within the first two weeks. If the individual has managed to survive this window period, their prognosis is improved.<ref name=":0" /> About 66% of all dissections present in the acute phase. Individuals who present two weeks after the onset of the dissection are said to have chronic aortic dissections.<ref name=":0" /> These individuals have been self-selected as survivors of the acute episode and can be treated with medical therapy as long as they are stable.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

===Medication===
For type B aortic dissections, patients without rupture of the aorta or organ perfusion abnormalities may be treated with medications.<ref name="Mussa 2025" /> For others, including those with type A aortic dissections, surgery is preferred. Aortic dissection generally presents as a hypertensive emergency, and the main consideration of medical management is to decrease the [[shear force|shear stress]] in the aortic wall by decreasing blood pressure and the heart rate. The target blood pressure should be a [[mean arterial pressure]] (MAP) of 60 to 75 [[mmHg]] or a systolic blood pressure between 100-120 mmHg, or the lowest blood pressure tolerated. Initial decreases should be by about 20%.<ref name=White2013/> The target heart rate is 60-80 beats per minute.<ref name="Mussa 2025"/> Long-term blood pressure control is required for every person who has experienced aortic dissection.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="AHA surveillance" />

[[Beta blockers]] are the first-line treatment for patients with acute and chronic aortic dissection.<ref name="Mussa 2025"/> In acute dissection, fast-acting agents can be given intravenously and have doses that are easier to adjust (such as [[esmolol]], [[propranolol]], or [[labetalol]]) is preferred. Vasodilators such as [[sodium nitroprusside]] can be considered for people with ongoing high blood pressure, but they should never be used alone, as they often stimulate a [[reflex tachycardia|reflexive increase in the heart rate]].{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

[[Opiates]] are commonly used for relief of severe pain and may lower the blood pressure further.<ref name="Mussa 2025" />

[[Calcium channel blocker]]s can be used in the treatment of aortic dissection, particularly if a contraindication to the use of beta-blockers exists.<ref name="Suzuki 2012">{{cite journal |last1=Suzuki |first1=Toru |last2=Isselbacher |first2=Eric M. |last3=Nienaber |first3=Christoph A. |last4=Pyeritz |first4=Reed E. |last5=Eagle |first5=Kim A. |last6=Tsai |first6=Thomas T. |last7=Cooper |first7=Jeanna V. |last8=Januzzi |first8=James L. |last9=Braverman |first9=Alan C. |last10=Montgomery |first10=Daniel G. |last11=Fattori |first11=Rossella |last12=Pape |first12=Linda |last13=Harris |first13=Kevin M. |last14=Booher |first14=Anna |last15=Oh |first15=Jae K. |last16=Peterson |first16=Mark |last17=Ramanath |first17=Vijay S. |last18=Froehlich |first18=James B. |title=Type-Selective Benefits of Medications in Treatment of Acute Aortic Dissection (from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection [IRAD]) |journal=The American Journal of Cardiology |date=January 2012 |volume=109 |issue=1 |pages=122–127 |doi=10.1016/j.amjcard.2011.08.012 |pmid=21944678 }}</ref>

If the individual has refractory hypertension (persistent hypertension on the maximum doses of three different classes of antihypertensive agents), involvement of the renal arteries in the aortic dissection plane should be considered.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

===Surgical===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2025}}
Indications for the surgical treatment of aortic dissection include an acute proximal aortic dissection and an acute distal aortic dissection with one or more complications. Complications include compromise of a vital organ, rupture or impending rupture of the aorta, retrograde dissection into the ascending aorta. These are more common with a history of Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

The objective in the surgical management of aortic dissection is to resect (remove) the most severely damaged segments of the aorta and to obliterate the entry of blood into the false lumen (both at the initial intimal tear and any secondary tears along the vessel). While excision of the intimal tear may be performed, it does not significantly change mortality.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

The particular treatment used depends on the segment or segments of the aorta involved. Some treatments are:{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}
* [[Open aortic surgery]] with replacement of the damaged section of the aorta with a tube graft (often made of [[Dacron]]) when no damage to the [[aortic valve]] is seen
* [[Bentall procedure]] – replacement of the damaged section of the aorta and replacement of the aortic valve
* [[David procedure]] – replacement of the damaged section of the aorta and reimplantation of the aortic valve
* [[TEVAR|Thoracic endovascular aortic repair]], a minimally invasive surgical procedure usually combined with ongoing medical management
* Frozen elephant trunk procedure (FET) is one-stage procedure for the repair of acute aortic dissection that permits concurrent total aortic arch replacement with antegrade delivery of a descending aortic stent-graft which itself functions as a proximal landing zone to facilitate prospective endovascular intervention (TEVAR) to treat residual or de novo disease in the more distal aorta.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sef |first1=D |last2=Thet |first2=MS |last3=Acharya |first3=M |last4=Tyson |first4=N |last5=Hadjinikolaou |first5=L |last6=Mariscalco |first6=G |last7=Oo |first7=A |last8=Benedetto |first8=U |last9=Luthra |first9=S |title=Aortic arch replacement in patients with previous repair of acute aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |journal=European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery |date=1 November 2024 |volume=66 |issue=5 |article-number=ezae396 |doi=10.1093/ejcts/ezae396 |pmid=39485377}}</ref>

A number of comorbid conditions increase the surgical risk of repair of an aortic dissection. These conditions include the following:{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}
* Prolonged preoperative evaluation (increased length of time prior to surgery)
* Advanced age
* Comorbid disease states (e.g.: [[coronary artery disease]])
* Aneurysm leakage
* [[Cardiac tamponade]]
* [[Shock (circulatory)|Shock]] - [[obstructive shock]]
* Past history of myocardial infarction 
* History of [[kidney failure]] (either acute or chronic kidney failure)

===Follow-up===

Patients who have suffered aortic dissection are at risk of [[aortic aneurysm]] formation at the site of the dissection, thought to be due to weakening of the aortic wall.<ref name="AHA surveillance">{{cite journal |vauthors=Fleischmann D, Afifi RO, Casanegra AI, Elefteriades JA, Gleason TG, Hanneman K, Roselli EE, Willemink MJ, Fischbein MP |title=Imaging and Surveillance of Chronic Aortic Dissection: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association. |journal=Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging |date=March 2022 |volume=15 |issue=3 |at=e000075 |pmid=35172599 |doi=10.1161/HCI.0000000000000075}}</ref> The risk of this aneurysm degeneration is 10 times higher in individuals who have uncontrolled hypertension, compared to individuals with a systolic pressure below 130 mmHg.

Regarding long term mortality after aortic dissection, the risk of death is highest in the first two years after the acute event. About 29% of late deaths following surgery are due to rupture of either a dissecting aneurysm or another aneurysm. The rate of aortic aneurysm formation after dissection in the affected section of aorta is 25-40%.<ref name="Mussa 2025" /> Other studies estimate a 17% to 25% incidence of new aneurysm formation, typically due to dilatation of the residual false lumen. These new aneurysms are more likely to rupture, due to their thinner walls.<ref name="AHA surveillance" />

Serial imaging of the aorta is recommended after dissection to assess for progression of the dissection, durability of the repair, screen for aneurysm formation, and assess aortic remodeling.<ref name="Mussa 2025" /> Repeat imaging of the aorta after type B dissections is recommended at 1, 6, 12 months after diagnosis and then yearly.<ref name="Mussa 2025" />

Of all people with aortic dissection, 40% die immediately and do not reach a hospital in time. Of the remainder, 1% die every hour, making prompt diagnosis and treatment a priority. Even after diagnosis, 5–20% die during surgery or in the immediate postoperative period.<ref name=Hiratzka2010/> In ascending aortic dissection, if surgery is decided to be not appropriate, 75% die within 2 weeks. With aggressive treatment, 30-day survival for thoracic dissections may be as high as 90%.<ref name=Woo2009/>

==Epidemiology==
Establishing the incidence of aortic dissection has been difficult because many cases are only diagnosed after death (which may have been attributed to another cause), and is often initially misdiagnosed. Aortic dissection affects an estimated 2.0–3.5 people per every 100,000 every year. Studies from Sweden suggest that the incidence of aortic dissection may be rising.<ref name=Olsson2006>{{cite journal | author1 = Olsson C | author2 = Thelin S | author3 = Ståhle E | author4 = Ekbom A | author5 = Granath F | year = 2006 | title = Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection.

==History==
The earliest fully documented case of aortic dissection is attributed to [[Frank Nicholls]] in his [[autopsy]] report of [[George II of Great Britain|King George II of Great Britain]], who had been found dead on 25 October 1760; the report describes a dissection of the aortic arch and into the pericardium.<ref name=Criado2011/><ref name=Nicholls1761/> The term "aortic dissection" was introduced by the French physician J. P. Maunoir in 1802, and [[René Laennec]] labeled the condition "dissecting aneurysm".<ref name=Criado2011/><ref name=Leonard1979/> London cardiologist [[Thomas Bevill Peacock]] contributed to the understanding of the condition by publishing two series of the cases described in the literature so far: 19 cases in an 1843 review, and 80 in 1863.<ref name=Leonard1979/> The characteristic symptom of tearing pain in the chest was recognized in 1855 when a case was diagnosed in life.<ref name=Leonard1979/>

Surgery for aortic dissection was first introduced and developed by [[Michael E. DeBakey]], [[Denton Cooley]], and Oscar Creech, cardiac surgeons associated with the [[Baylor College of Medicine]], Houston, Texas, in 1954. DeBakey developed aortic dissection himself at age 97 in 2005,<ref name=Criado2011/> and underwent surgery in 2006.<ref name=Altman2006/> Endovascular treatment of aortic dissection was developed in the 1990s.<ref name=Criado2011/>

The '''Kumaon Regiment''' is one of the oldest [[infantry]] [[regiment]]s of the [[Indian Army]]. The regiment traces its origins to the 18th century and has fought in every major campaign of the [[British Indian Army]] and the Indian Army, including the two world wars, and is one of the highest decorated regiments of the Indian Army.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

==Recruitment of troops==
The '''Kumaon Regimental''' Centre, established at [[Ranikhet]], recruits [[Kumaoni people]] from the [[Kumaon division]] of [[Uttarakhand]], [[Himachal]] and [[Ahirs]] from [[Haryana]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Bihar]], [[Rajasthan]] and other parts.

Soldiering has been an important profession of the [[Kumaoni people|Kumaonis]] and the region has a long history of warfare with neighbours, including the [[Kingdom of Nepal|Nepal]] and [[Garhwal Kingdom|Garhwal]].<ref name="Sharma1990">{{cite book|last=Sharma|first=Gautam|title=Valour and Sacrifice: Famous Regiments of the Indian Army|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xLrTzZd0j1kC&pg=PA16|date=1 January 1990|publisher=Allied Publishers|isbn=978-81-7023-140-0|pages=265–270}}</ref> The Kumaonis were never fully subjugated by the powerful Muslim dynasties of Delhi. They often offered their martial services as mercenaries, and fought on British side in the [[Anglo-Nepalese War]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Pande, Badri Datt|title=History of Kumaun (English version of "Kumaun ka itihas").|date=1993|publisher=Shyam Prakashan|isbn=81-900209-4-3|oclc=833063116}}</ref>

The Fierce fighting battalions of the Nizam of Hyderabad made up of Kumaonis and men from this region of the Himalayan foothills.
Well before the split from royal Gurkha rifles, the kumaonis had been enlisted in the five regiments of Gurkhas belonging to the Bengal Infantry and the Punjab Frontier Force. The [[3rd Gorkha Rifles|Third Gorkha Rifles]] recruited heavily from the then greater kumaon kingdom(which included parts of terai presently in Nepal) the large recruitment of Kumaonis led to this being known the Kemaoon Battalion.

The Kumaonis were recruited in the military of the [[East India Company]] from the early 19th century.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} They often moved to other states in search of military service, including in the service of the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].

The [[Nizam's Contingent]] was formed when [[Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley]], brother of [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington]], became [[Governor-General of India]] and formed a plan to rid India of French influence.<ref name="History of the Kumaon Regiment, Global Security">{{cite web|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/rgt-kumaon.htm|title=History of the Kumaon Regiment|publisher=Globalsecurity.org|access-date=2009-05-21}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=July 2025|certain=y}} His first action, on arriving in India in 1798, was to effect the disbandment of the Indian units of the Nizam under the command of Monsieur Raymond and officered by non-British Europeans. These soldiers were formed into the British officered Nizam's Contingent that fought at the [[Battle of Seringapatam]] in 1799 against [[Tippu Sultan]] in the final battle of the [[Fourth Anglo-Mysore War]].<ref name="History of the Kumaon Regiment" />

In 1813, Sir [[Sir Henry Russell, 2nd Baronet|Henry Russell]], then British Resident in the court of [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], raised the Russell Brigade comprising two battalions. Later, four more battalions were raised and they were known as the Berar Infantry. In addition, two battalions known as the Elichpur Brigade, were raised by Nawab Salabat Khan, Subedar of Berar, as a part of the Nizam's forces. The men of the Russell Brigade were chiefly [[Hindu]]s, recruited from [[Oudh]] and other parts of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Kumaonis, along with other North Indian classes served in the Hyderabad contingent which was raised, trained and led by British officers under Russell, but paid for by the Nizam of Hyderabad.<ref name="IndArmy">{{cite web |url=http://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTemp12PLM8C.aspx?MnId=EQkOus1s8ZdRl6B/ao9C0w==&ParentID=VZWqJKkvQcHQDWIWaX+hAA== |title=Brief History of the Kumaon Regiment |publisher=Indian Army website |access-date=6 April 2014}}</ref>

By 1853, at the time of the signing of a treaty between the Nizam and the British, the Nizam's forces consisted of 8 battalions. The force was renamed as the [[Hyderabad Contingent]], and became part of the British Indian Army, subsequently, becoming the 19th Hyderabad Regiment. Over time, the class composition changed to Kumaonis and Ahirs.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

During [[World War I]], a Kumaon battalion was raised at [[Ranikhet]] on 23 October 1917 as 4/39th Kumaon Rifles. In 1918, it was redesignated as 1st Battalion, 50th Kumaon Rifles and a second battalion was raised. These were merged with the Hyderabad Contingent into the [[19th Hyderabad Regiment]] in 1923. The first battalion of the 50th Kumaon Rifles survived to become the 1st Kumaon Rifles, and is today the 3rd Battalion, Kumaon Regiment (Rifles) of the Indian Army.
Some units of the Berar and Elichpur infantry were demobilized after World War I. However, the Hyderabad Regiment was again expanded during World War II.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

On 27 October 1945, after the Second World War, the 19th Hyderabad Regiment was renamed as '''19th Kumaon Regiment'''. Post-independence, it has been known as the '''Kumaon Regiment'''.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

Two state forces battalions, 4th Gwalior Infantry and Indore Infantry were allocated to the Kumaon Regiment becoming 14 Kumaon (Gwalior) and 15 Kumaon (Indore) respectively.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

The Kumaon Regiment has produced three Indian Army Chiefs: General [[Satyawant Mallannah Shrinagesh]] (4 Kumaon), General [[Kodendera Subayya Thimayya]] (4 Kumaon) and General [[Tapishwar Narain Raina]] (14 Kumaon).<ref name="Bharat-Rakshak">{{cite web|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/111-Kumaon-Regt.html|title=The Kumaon Regiment|work=Bharat-Rakshak.com|access-date=6 April 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140219232556/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/111-Kumaon-Regt.html|archive-date=19 February 2014}}</ref>

==Affiliations==
*The senior battalion, 1 Kumaon, originally raised in March 1813, was converted to the airborne role in 1946. It fought with distinction in the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1947]] as 1 Kumaon (Para). It remained a part of the regiment until April 1952 when it was formally inducted into the [[Parachute Regiment (India)|Parachute Regiment]] as 3 Para (Kumaon). In 2000, the battalion was converted to Special Forces as part of the expansion of the special operations forces of the Indian Army, and renamed 3rd Battalion [[Para (Special Forces)]] or 3 Para (SF).

Upon conversion to Para(SF), class composition has been made heterogeneous, consisting of men from all across India.<ref name="IndArmy"/>

*On 1 November 1970, the [[Naga Regiment]] was raised and affiliated with the Kumaon Regiment.<ref name="IndArmy"/> The class composition of this regiment comprises [[Naga people|Naga]]s, Kumaonis, Garhwalis and Gurkhas.
*A Border Scouts battalion was raised and named as "Kumaon Scouts".<ref name="IndArmy"/>
*14 Kumaon (Gwalior), was converted to the [[mechanised infantry]] role, and transferred to the [[Mechanised Infantry Regiment]], as its 5th Battalion.

==Engagements==

===World War I===
During World War I, the first all Kumaoni battalions were raised. The first was formed in 1917 as the 19th Kumaon and redesignated in 1918 as the 1st Battalion, 50th Kumaon Rifles when it fought in the [[Battle of Megiddo (1918)]]. A 2nd Battalion was also raised in 1918 but disbanded in 1923. The Hyderabad Contingent, with its mixed Kumaoni, Jats, [[Ahir]]s and Deccan Muslims, continued and fought with distinction in the Great War. In 1922, during the Indian Army reorganisation, the six regiments of the Hyderabad Contingent were renamed as the 19th Hyderabad Regiment and infantry companies formed from the Kumaon region replaced many of the Deccan Muslim-based companies. In 1923 the 1/50th Kumaon Rifles joined the 19th Hyderabad Regiment as the 1st Kumaon Rifles.<ref name="History of the Kumaon Regiment">{{cite web|url=http://indianarmy.nic.in/arms/kumaon/history.html |title=Indian Army, A brief history of the Kumaon Regiment |publisher=Official Home of the Indian Army |access-date=2009-05-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410115110/http://indianarmy.nic.in/arms/kumaon/history.html |archive-date=10 April 2009 }}</ref> In 1935 the battalion commanders attempted to have the regiment renamed as the 19th Kumaon Regiment, due to the diminishing links to the Deccan and Hyderabad regions. The request was refused.<ref name="History of the Kumaon Regiment, Global Security" />{{Unreliable source?|date=July 2025|certain=y}}

===World War II===
The [[19th Hyderabad Regiment]] in 1939 consisted of four regular battalions; the 1st (Russell's), 2nd (Berar), 4th and The Kumaon Rifles. The Hyderabads expanded during the war adding another eight battalions to the 19th Hyderabad Regiment. Two more battalions, the 1st and 2nd Hyderabad Infantry, were raised as part of the [[Indian State Forces]]. The battalions of the 19th Hyderabad Regiment fought in the [[Middle East]], [[North African campaign]], [[Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran|Persia]], [[Battle of Malaya]], [[Battle of Singapore]] and [[Burma campaign]].<ref name="History of the Kumaon Regiment"/>

The Kumaon Rifles were based in [[Hong Kong]] at the beginning of the [[Second World War]] but were transferred to the Middle East as part of the [[24th Indian Infantry Brigade]]. The battalion took part in the [[Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran]] in 1941 under Major-General [[William Slim]]. They remained in Persia as part of the garrison throughout the rest of the war.<ref name="The Kumaon Rifles in WW2">{{cite web|url=http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=9686&Tab=Sup|title=Orders of Battle.com|last=Gardner|first=Brian|access-date=2009-05-21}}</ref>

The 4th Battalion was part of the [[12th Indian Infantry Brigade]] based in [[British Malaya|Malaya]] when the Japanese Army invaded in December 1941. The 4/19th Hyderabads were one of the few battalions in Malaya that were relatively well trained in jungle warfare. Although the battalion performed well in the fighting retreat in north-west Malaya, they were practically annihilated at the disastrous [[Battle of Slim River]] on 7 January 1942. The few survivors of the 4th Battalion were withdrawn to [[Singapore]] where they took part in the brief [[Battle of Singapore|defence of the island]] before it surrendered on 15 February 1942.

===Indo-Pakistani War of 1947-48===
1 Kumaon(airborne) [now 3rd PARA SF] and 4 Kumaon was dispatched to [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] to participate in the defence of Srinigar. 4 Kumaon elements were decisive in the [[Battle of Badgam]]. The valor of kumaonis saved kashmir from Pakistani intruders, in recognition of the gallant action in kashmir, 1st and 4th kumaon were hailed as the saviors of kashmir and bestowed with the battle honor "Srinagar(badgam)".
It was for this action that Major [[Somnath Sharma]] was posthumously awarded the Param veer chakra. It was a singular honour for the kumaon regiment to be the first to win the highest recognition for gallantry in the face of enemy.

===Sino-Indian War of 1962===
====Battle of Walong====
{{main | Battle of Walong }}

On 21 October 1962, the Chinese attacked the Dhola sector in Arunachal Pradesh's Kameng Division at a post at [[Kibithu]] (40 km north of Walong). The battle started by Chinese machine guns and mortars fire from south of Sama, followed by infantry attacks on two platoons with over 3000 soldiers. It started at around midnight and went on for three hours. At about 5 am, the Chinese reinforced their assaulting troops and launched another fierce attack. About 60-70 Chinese soldiers died in that attack and four Indian soldiers were killed, including {{anchor | Bahadur |Naik Bahadur Singh}}'''Naik Bahadur Singh''' Vir Chakra awardee of Kumaon Regiment, who took over the light machine gun (LMG) after his LMG detachment was killed, and kept firing till he was hit in the chest. In the days to follow, multiple such skirmishes and change in deployments took place, both from the Indian and the Chinese side. Acknowledging that Kibithu could not be defended, 6 Kumaon was ordered to withdraw to Walong.<ref>Ref Kumaoni Nostalgia! by Col N.N. Bhatia (retd)</ref>

"23 October marks a landmark win against the 153 Regt of PLA (Chengdu Sub area) when Delta Company of 6 Kumaon under Lt Bikram Singh Rathore (IC 11867) was ordered to establish screen position on Ashi Hill (NH 5484). Lt. Bikram Singh planned and executed a classic ambush at a small hanging bridge over Namti Nallah (5 km away from Walong). Lt Bikram removed the last few planks of the hanging bridge and positioned his men at various positions adjoining Namti Nullah and sighted the MMGs and Mortars of his men on spots likely to be enemy position and to bring down accurate fire. Lt Bikram Singh briefed his soldiers to hold fire until he fired the first 'Very Light'. At 3 a.m. on 23 October, the Chinese Army marching towards Walong walked down Ashi hill to reach the hanging bridge on Namti Nullah. The first Chinese soldier of 153 Regiment crossed the bridge and stepped on the last few plank and fell into the nullah. The following Chinese soldiers milled around and Lt. Bikram Singh fired the first Very Light revealing the Chinese in a cramped path of a planned accurate fire of Indian MMG and Mortar fire. About 200 Chinese troops were killed or wounded in this action against nine Indian fatalities. At 4 a.m. the screen by Delta Company of 6 Kumaon was ordered to withdraw.<ref>Bharat Rakshak.com; http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/ARMY/history/1962war/263-walong.html 2.1962</ref>
<ref>The War That Wasn't – by Shiv Kunal Verma</ref><ref>Lt. Bikram Singh's Letter dt. 11 Nov 1962 to his father Th. Ranbir Singh</ref>

After the success at Namti Nullah, The Delta Company of 6 Kumaon was tasked to occupy critical defenses on "West Ridge" overlooking the Advanced Landing Grounds, Walong.

On 5 November, there were multiple exchanges of fire between the Indian and the Chinese troops when a company under then Captain Ravi Mathur was asked to occupy Green Pimple and rescue an Assam Rifles patrol which was ambushed in the area.

On 14 November 1962, 6 Kumaon attacked and captured Chinese defenses in the Walong sector, [[Arunachal Pradesh]], without any [[artillery]] or aerial support.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} This was the only battle of the war in which an [[India]]n unit attacked the Chinese, rather than defending. The attack continued until 15 November but the captured positions could not be sustained because of a lack of ammunition, heavy casualties and large enemy buildup.<ref>Through Wars and Insurgency by Brigadier Kuldip Singh, VSM(retd); 1962, A View from the Other Side of the Hill (A USI Study)</ref>

The main Battle of Walong<ref>1962: a View From the Other Side of the Hill, a USI Study</ref> was on 16 November, when a large number of soldiers of the PLA [[130th Division (People's Republic of China)]] attack on approx. 100 soldiers of Delta Company of 6 Kumaon which were holding West Ridge. Lt. Bikram was tasked to hold this defense at all costs till 1100 hours<ref name="ReferenceA">DO No A/F/13 dated 24 December by Brig N.C. Rawlley</ref> and he promised Brigadier N.C. Rawley that he would never withdraw & hold on till his end. Waves of Chinese attacks came on his post one after the other. However, Kumaonis fought gallantly and repulsed the attack. Then the Chinese fanned out and the next attack came with an overwhelming superiority of numbers from three sides (the fourth side was a steep cliff) and was supported by machine gun fire & artillery bombardment. The tenacity of the troops still prevented the Chinese from capturing West Ridge, however at a heavy price in lives. By now, Lt Bikram Singh had held on to the post well beyond the assigned time of 1100 hrs. He was now left with a handful of troops, all their ammunition was exhausted and had no logistical support. They then engaged in hand-to-hand combat and fought to the last man and bullet. In the words of Brig. N. C. Rawlley, MC, <blockquote>"He (Lt. Bikram Singh) held on as long as humanly possible. Very few men from his Company managed to escape. The bulk of them being killed and wounded on the hill. Under his courageous and gallant leadership the men fought until all their ammunition was exhausted and they were completely overrun. Bikram's message to me over the wireless was that he would hold on and not withdraw. He has fulfilled these words to the limit."<ref name="ReferenceA"/> </blockquote>It is said that five times as many Chinese soldiers died in this battle of 16 November on West Ridge.<ref>Chinese Book, A History of Counter Attack War in Self Defense Along Sino-Indian Border, Military Science Publications, Beijing, 1994.</ref> Only 17 Indian soldiers of Delta Company returned from this battle.<ref>Historical records of the Jangi 6th - 6 Kumaon Regiment</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://arunachaltimes.in/index.php/2018/07/15/heroes-of-1962-war-in-arunachal-6/|title=Heroes of 1962 War in Arunachal | The Arunachal Times|date=15 July 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://usiofindia.org/publication/usi-journal/1962-war-operations-in-the-walong-sector-a-view-from-the-other-side-of-the-hill/|title=1962 War – Operations in the Walong Sector (A View from the Other Side of the Hill)|website=usiofindia.org|access-date=20 September 2020|archive-date=11 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111035935/https://usiofindia.org/publication/usi-journal/1962-war-operations-in-the-walong-sector-a-view-from-the-other-side-of-the-hill/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In March 1963, a cremation party of 6 Kumaon, led by Maj Prem Nath Bhatia reached Walong to cremate Lt. Bikram Singh and soldiers of Delta Company on West Ridge, however, due to heavy snow, the operation could not be completed.<ref>Through Wars and Insurgency by Brigadier Kuldip Singh, VSM(retd)</ref> Subsequently, this assignment could not be completed because of the untimely death of Maj. Bhatia in 1965, in a road accident.
In 1986 (almost 24 years after the Battle of Walong) a patrol party of the 6th Battalion of The Assam Regiment climbed up to West Ridge and discovered the skeletal remains of the soldiers of Delta Company of 6 Kumaon who died fighting on 16 November 1962. A lot of war relics such as helmets, LMG magazines, water bottles and used/burnt ammunition and a pair of binoculars (possibly of the company commander, Lt. Bikram Singh) were also found on the site.<ref>Company commander of 6 Assam Regiment</ref> The Patrol party of 6th Assam Regiment cremated the bodies of at least 37 soldiers of Delta Company and kept their ashes in a make shift memorial on the West Ridge. 6th Assam Regiment also constructed a memorial of "Unknown Soldiers" displaying the helmets and battle relics.

The area assigned to C Company was defended by three [[platoon]] positions, but the surrounding terrain isolated 13 Kumaon from the rest of the battalion. The Indian artillery was located behind a hill feature blocking the line of fire so the infantry had to fight the battle without artillery support. The Chinese suffered no such disadvantage and brought heavy artillery fire upon C Company.

The Chinese attack, which was expected, came through a dry [[river]] bed. It was repulsed with heavy [[machine gun]] fire by the Indian soldiers. The Chinese regrouped and attacked persistently with more reinforcements. Maj. Shaitan Singh went from post to post raising the morale of his men and continued to fight even after being seriously wounded. Of C Company's 120 troops, 114 men were killed; 5 were severely injured and captured. They are all said to have escaped captivity and returned. The other remaining survivor was sent by Shaitan Singh to inform the headquaraters. The Chinese casualties are not known, but a memorial in [[Rewari]] claims that 1,300 Chinese soldiers were killed in the battle.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sekhar Gupta|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/web/nobody-believed-we-had-killed-so-many-chinese-at-rezang-la-our-commander-called-me-crazy-and-warned-that-i-could-be-courtmartialled/|title=Nobody believed we had killed so many Chinese at Rezang La.

===Indo-Pakistan War of 1965===
{{Main|Indo-Pakistan War of 1965}}

====Battle of Kumaon Hill====
Two Kumaoni Battalions continued to operate against the guerrillas. One Infantry Brigade was ordered to oust the enemy from the area, own side of a river and destroy the bridges.

The enemy was holding the area with a company of 23 [[Azad Kashmir Regiment|Azad Kashmir]] and one company of the Pakistani special forces unit – [[Special Service Group]] . Lt Col Salick decided to attack the feature with two Companies. It was to be a silent attack, though the battalion had adequate artillery support on call. The leading platoon under Jemadar Ram Singh hit an enemy minefield shortly after midnight on 21 September. Despite being wounded, this brave JCO pressed forward to find a way through the mines.

At 7.45 AM the assaulting companies resumed the advance. Despite the heavy automatic fire that greeted them, the Kumaonis charged. In the initial assault, Capt (later Maj Gen) Surendra Shah, and his signaller were wounded. The fighting thereafter was fierce and continued for two and a half hours. Capt Shah was wounded a second time but he refused to be evacuated till the battle was over.

The Kumaonis tenacity ultimately won the day and the hill was in their hands at 10 AM. For conspicuous gallantry in the action, Capt Surendra Shah received Vir Chakra. Another recipient of this award was Nk Chander Singh. In addition to these awards, one officer and two JCOs were Mentioned in Despatches. To commemorate the Kumaonis victory, the hill was named the KUMAON Hill.

It was a significant achievement as a regular infantry battalion's Kumaoni troops ousted re-enforced enemy positions at significant heights occupied by better equip enemy special forces unit.

This however was not the last encounter between the kumaoni troops and Pakistani commandos as they faced off again on the icy heights of siachen in '84.

====3rd Kumaon (Rifles)====

The Chhamb sector saw heavy fighting between the Indian and Pakistani troops. On moving from Srinagar to Akhnur, 3rd Kumaon was ordered to undertake several operations against the Pakistani forces in this sector. One of these included a raid on Gulaba-Chappar, a strong enemy position, in which 63 casualties were inflicted on the enemy at loss of 5 (4 injured, 1 Killed). Large quantities of arms and ammunitions were captured.

Later, the Battalion was tasked with capturing the Keri-Pail area held by approximately one infantry battalion. At 3:15 AM, the battalion's A Coy, led by Major Dhirendra Nath Singh, charged the enemy post at Keri and captured it after a fierce hand-to-hand fight. Meanwhile, C Coy had made an abortive attack on Pail and was held by the positions Pakistani defenders. Then, a counterattack from the Pakistanis drove C Coy back, who were able to successfully retreat under A Coy's fire.<ref name="Valour Triumphs: A History of the Kumaon Regiment">{{Cite web |url=http://lib.perdana.org.my/PLF/PLF2/Digital_Content/PLF/000013/OCRed/Valour%20Triumphs.pdf== |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200525141049/http://lib.perdana.org.my/PLF/PLF2/Digital_Content/PLF/000013/OCRed/Valour%20Triumphs.pdf== |archive-date=25 May 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

====Battle of Maharajke====
Another Kumaon Battalion captured 'Maharajke' in West Pakistan with a fierce attack during the night of 6 and 7 September 1965. On 13 September 1965, the Battalion attacked and captured village Pagowal an enemy stronghold which was 13 miles inside Pakistan. Not content with this, by 23 September 1965 (the day cease fire came into effect) the Battalion had made another deep wedge into Pakistani territory.

Nk Ganesh Dutt was awarded Vir Chakra for his conspicuous bravery. The Battalion was also awarded four Mentioned in Dispatches and four Chief of the Army Staff Commendation Cards during these operations and was bestowed with the Theatre Honour 'Punjab'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimpleWithThreePara.aspx?MnId=kiwwHjbkHtqMIhyjc/yhuA==&ParentID=vSfImH/Z36gHfaJt/E8qjw==|title= Maharajke}}</ref>

====Battle of Chhamb====
To preempt Pakistani attacks into India, a Kumaon battalion advanced into the Mandiala Heights in West Pakistan at the end of August 1965. Before they had the chance to set up any defenses, the Pakistan Army began a major offensive in the Chhamb sector during the early hours of 1 September, accompanied by massive artillery shelling targeting the Kumaon battalion's positions. There followed an armoured thrust by two Pakistani armoured divisions. Faced with enemy advancing from 3 sides, the battalion held off for a day and a half. On 2 September, the battalion was ordered to withdraw after they had destroyed four Pakistani tanks. One Vir Chakra was awarded for the action.

===Indo-Pakistan War of 1971===
{{Main|Indo-Pakistan War of 1971}}
Kumaon battalions were deployed and fought on both the Eastern and the Western fronts during the war.<ref name=kumaon-1971>{{cite web|url=http://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTemp16P31C.aspx?MnId=xkFw09/aom0=&ParentID=1/O4fj0Mcdg=|title=Official Website of Indian Army|access-date=26 November 2014}}</ref>

===Operation Meghdoot===
{{Main|Siachen Conflict}}
The Indian Army's initiative to hold the [[Siachen Glacier]] consisted of units of the Kumaon Regiment and the [[Ladakh Scouts]]. It was led by Maj. R.S. Sandhu, who was awarded the Vir Chakra for his leadership. Capt. Sanjay Kulkarni's unit was the first to land on [[Bilafond La]] and hoist the Indian tricolour. Kumaon units were instrumental in Indian success in capturing the glacier and repelling Pakistani attempts to retake it.<ref name="kumaon-op">{{cite web|url=http://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTemp3PLMMCRM6C.aspx?MnId=YSzhf1kWAbU=&ParentID=1/O4fj0Mcdg=|title=Official Website of Indian Army|access-date=26 November 2014}}</ref>

Anticipating a Pakistani attack on the glacier at the start of the spring thaw in 1984, a full Kumaon battalion led by Lt. Col. (later Brigadier) D.K. Khanna, marched on foot with full packs and equipment for weeks in the dead of the winter across [[Zoji La]], through the world's toughest terrain, highest altitudes and most forbidding climate. To their credit they achieved this without suffering a serious casualty or a single fallout en route. They also became the first battalion to operate as a unit in the Nubra Valley and on the Siachen Glacier.

19 Kumaon was the first battalion to hoist the Indian flag on the Saltoro Ridgeline (at Point 5705, an altitude of 18,717 feet) in the face of enemy fire, thus dominating Gyongla (18,655 feet) which was under enemy occupation. On 29 May 1984, 19 Kumaon lost 19 of its best soldiers, including one officer (2Lt. P.S. Poondir), who had volunteered to obey orders which they fully knew could take them to their certain death. During April and May 1984, 19 Kumaon was spread all through the area of Siachen with Capt. Roshan Lal Yadav at the Indira Col, Maj. Shashi Kant Mahajan and Maj. Darshan Lal Julka on the Central Glaciers (Gyongla, Zingrulma Lagongma, and Layogma Glaciers) and Maj B B Dhyani with Alpha company was in the Urdelop Glacier. 19 Kumaon was thus the first battalion ever to be spread out so much on the glacier (about 100 km), which, perhaps, no other battalion has been subjected to ever since.<ref>Gorichen to Siachen, The Untold Saga of Hoisting the Tricolour on Saltoro By Brig DK Khanna, VSM -{{ISBN|978-93-86367-10-5}} Publisher Alpha Editions, Chapter 16, Page 116</ref>

Nk. (later Subedar/Honorary Captain) Ram Mehar Singh was awarded the [[Shaurya Chakra]] for his gallant role during the move. This turned out to be a vital move that enabled Indian victory in Operation Meghdoot.

===Operation Pawan===
{{Main|Operation Pawan}}
Kumaon units were deployed to [[Sri Lanka]] during [[Operation Pawan]]. A Kumaon battalion was the first Indian Army unit to land in [[Jaffna]] at the Palali airfield.<ref name="kumaon-op"/> It successfully cleared the Kokuvil area, and moving to [[Mallakam]]. A number of LTTE militants were killed or captured.

Another battalion was deployed to search and destroy LTTE camps in the Kumurupiddi and Irrakandi areas of the [[Trincomalee]] Sector. Among the areas in which Kumaon units were deployed and operated included Kilividdi of Muttur Sector, [[Sampur, Trincomalee|Sampur]], Vellvutturai and [[Point Pedro]].

===Kargil War===
{{Main|Kargil War}}
Kumaon units were deployed during [[Operation Vijay (1999)|Operation Vijay]] to oust Pakistan Army regulars who had infiltrated the [[Kargil district|Kargil]] sector in [[Ladakh]] posing as insurgents. In difficult terrain and hostile weather conditions, they cleared and captured a number of altitude features. The regiment was honored with a number of gallantry awards for the operations.

Various countries in Africa have experienced democratic backsliding. [[Christopher Fomunyoh]], a longtime Africa expert with the U.S.-based [[National Democratic Institute]], said in 2020 testimony to the [[United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Global Human Rights|U.S. House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Global Human Rights]] that there were strong democratic advances in Africa (especially [[West Africa]]) occurred between the late 1980s to the late 2010s, but that by 2019, democratic trends had reversed, with the result being "there are now fewer democracies in Africa" in 2021 than in 1991.<ref name=Fomunyoh>Christopher Fomunyoh, [https://www.ndi.org/publications/christopher-fomunyoh-facing-democratic-backsliding-africa-reversing-trend Facing Democratic Backsliding in Africa & Reversing the Trend] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210811120647/https://www.ndi.org/publications/christopher-fomunyoh-facing-democratic-backsliding-africa-reversing-trend |date=11 August 2021 }}, ''Democratic Backsliding in Sub-Saharan Africa'', House Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations (September 30, 2020).</ref> Fomunyoh noted that in the first 20 years of the 21st century, about a dozen countries in [[sub-Saharan Africa]] weakened or abolished constitutional [[term limit]]s for presidents; these moves weakened [[constitutionalism]] to benefit incumbents, removed one method of facilitating "the peaceful and orderly renewal of political leadership" and led to "excessive fragmentation and polarization of the [[polity]], and, in some cases outright violence, and the further shrinking of political space."<ref name=Fomunyoh/>

==Historical countries==
===Roman Republic===
{{Excerpt|Constitutional reforms of Augustus|only=paragraph|paragraph=1}}
Historian Edward Watts lists the following causes as contributing to the devolution of the [[Roman Republic]] into an empire, on the theme of violating long-established norms of the republic:<ref>[https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2019/01/11/rome-america-edward-watts-mortal-republic Rome Traded Freedom For Autocracy. How Does America's Republic Compare?]</ref>
* Abuse of political processes to personally punish opponents (by not approving a treaty) and obstructionist tactics that blocked reforms to deal with economic inequality, forcing proponents to use more aggressive political tactics.
* Soldiers becoming loyal to their commanders rather than the state, with their commanders seeking personal gains.
* Resorting to violence rather than political processes to solve disputes. The first political [[assassination]]s in centuries led to armed factions influencing votes and elections, and to [[mob violence]] and civil war.
* Complacency among people who found it difficult to imagine that a centuries-old republic could fail.
* Ability of Augustus, the first emperor, to prevent control of Rome by foreigners and corrupt politicians, and to prevent civil war through personal dominance.

Watts points out one of the main features of a functioning republican system is that loss of an election does not result in imprisonment or execution.

===Weimar Republic===
{{See also|Weimar Republic#Reasons for failure}}
The causes of the devolution of the [[Weimar Republic]] into [[Nazi Germany]] are much debated, but [[Weimar Republic#Reasons for failure|several reasons]] are commonly cited:
* The way the government came to power: During the [[German Revolution of 1918–19]], backers of a republic joined with military mutineers who refused to fight in the face of certain defeat in [[World War I]]. The [[stab-in-the-back myth]] counterfactually proposed that Germany could have continued fighting successfully had it not been for the surrender, but for that and other reasons, many Germans blamed the republicans for losing the war, and the new system of government did not have widespread support.
* Severe unemployment and economic problems caused by the [[Great Depression]], war debts imposed by the [[Treaty of Versailles]], and mismanagement that caused [[hyperinflation]].
* [[Article 48 (Weimar Constitution)|Article 48]] of the constitution, which gave the President the power to rule by emergency [[decree]], a practice which was adopted as normal lawmaking broke down.
* The ability of the Parliament to remove the Chancellor without assigning a replacement, which left the office vacant in 1932.
* A practice of ignoring the Constitution if a law passed with a two-thirds majority, which was done in the passing of the [[Enabling Act of 1933]], which abolished democracy.
* The lack of democratic tradition and experience in lawmaking.
* The actions of [[Heinrich Brüning]] in cutting social spending, and [[Paul von Hindenburg]] in appointing [[Adolf Hitler]] to be Chancellor.
* The [[Reichstag fire]] establishing a pretext for an anti-Communist crackdown and abolition of civil liberties, though it is disputed as to whether it was a [[false flag]] operation.

===Empire of Japan===
After [[World War I]], a semi-democratic system emerged in the [[Empire of Japan]] as an experiment, with important steps including universal male suffrage in 1925 and the [[Rikken Seiyūkai]] and [[Rikken Minseito]] engaging in competitive elections. However, a partisan divide emerged between the parties, leading to many challenges such as the [[May 15 incident]] which assassinated Prime Minister [[Inukai Tsuyoshi]], growing economic inequality and poverty, and increasing military influence in politics. These events culminated in the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] dissolving political parties in response to resentment of economic inequality, dragging Japan into the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] in 1937.<ref>[https://www.asiaglobalonline.hku.hk/democratic-backsliding-lessons-from-interwar-japan Democratic Backsliding: Lessons from Interwar Japan]</ref>

==Politics==
{{Conservatism in India|Intellectuals}}
Dasgupta started as a [[Trotskyism|Trotskite]] during college but became a [[Thatcherism|Thatcherite]] in England; since then, he has self-identified with [[centre-right politics]]. Dasgupta has been active in national politics since the early 90s as a member of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP); he believed in the potential of the [[Mandal Commission|Mandal Commission recommendations]] and the [[Ram Rath Yatra]] to forge a common Hindu identity.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rajagopal |first=Arvind |url=https://www.questia.com/read/105171686/politics-after-television-religious-nationalism |title=Politics After Television: Hindu Nationalism and the Reshaping of the Public in India |date=2001-01-25 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9780521648394 |location=Cambridge, England |pages=343, 194 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jEUdPqYQjhoC|title=Contesting the Nation: Religion, Community, and the Politics of Democracy in India|last=Ludden|first=David|date=April 1996|publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press|isbn=9780812215854|language=en}}</ref>

Throughout these years, Dasgupta emphasized the value of English in reaching out to the elites — who were allegedly mass-committed to the left-liberal cause — and winning them over towards [[Hindutva]];<ref>{{Cite book |last=Basu |first=Manisha |title=The Rhetoric of Hindu India by Manisha Basu |date=August 2016 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-107-14987-8 |pages=xi |language=en |chapter=Preface |access-date=2019-08-03 |chapter-url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/rhetoric-of-hindu-india/23F550BAE62DCB5D3884F9345105AA57}}</ref> he was one of the most fierce critics of the pro-vernacular policies followed by the communist government of [[West Bengal]].<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Kapoor |first=Richa |title=Understanding and Interpreting English as a School Discipline in Postcolonial India |date=2008 |publisher=[[University of Minnesota]]}}</ref>

=== Legislation ===
In April 2016, the incumbent [[Premiership of Narendra Modi|BJP government]] nominated Dasgupta to the [[Rajya Sabha]] as an eminent personality in literature; his term would have continued till 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-official-swamy-sidhu-swapan-dasgupta-and-mary-kom-nominated-to-rajya-sabha-by-the-centre-2205080|title=Official: Swamy, Sidhu, Swapan Dasgupta and Mary Kom nominated to Rajya Sabha by PMO - Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis|date=22 April 2016|website=dnaindia.com|access-date=20 July 2017}}</ref> However, in 2021, Dasgupta resigned from Rajya Sabha to contest the [[2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|Legislative Assembly election in West Bengal]] for BJP from [[Tarakeswar (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Tarakeswar]]; he lost by over 7000 votes. A month later, Dasgupta was renominated to the [[Rajya Sabha]] for the remainder of his original term — opposition politicians and constitutional scholars questioned the legal soundness of the renomination.

=== Director ===
Jain made his directorial debut with ''[[Mor Chhainha Bhuinya|Mor Chhainha Bhuiyan]]'' (2000).

==Plot==
The year is 1975, the place is [[Mahim]], Bombay. This is the story of Tikku, a [[Hijra (South Asia)|Hijra]] and the only child of yesteryear Bollywood actress Nazneen Begum. Begum has fallen upon hard times, is virtually destitute, and is dependent on Tikku, who does make-up/hair-dressing of Bollywood actresses. When she passes away, Tikku is beside herself with grief. After the funeral, she witnesses a woman leaving a child in a garbage bin. Tikku picks up the girl, longing for human company, decides to keep her, names her Tamanna, and brings her up on her own with the help of a close friend, Saleem.

When she is old enough, Tikku arranges for her education in St. Mary's High School's hostel. When she completes school, she returns home to find Tikku in the guise of a [[Hijra (South Asia)|hijra]] and shuns her, but subsequently relents. Then Tikku finds out that Tamanna is the daughter of Ranvir Chopra, an up-and-coming politician. She tells her, and she goes to their palatial house. What follows is the impact this visit has on the Chopra family and the excuse they have for abandoning Tamanna. Ranvir considered a daughter as a burden and favoured sons over them. When Tamanna records his confession, he tries to kill her but Tikku saves Tamanna. Ranvir is arrested for his crimes. When Tamanna's mother and brother request her to return to them, she declines and prefers to stay with Tikku.

== Plot ==

Shankarnath ([[Balraj Sahni]]) is an honest Government employee, while his subordinate Sadhuram ([[Om Prakash]]) is a corrupt employee. Shankarnath, even though employed in a supervisory capacity, nets only Rs.630/-, and hence is unable to accede to any of the demands placed by his three school-going children, Ravi, Roopa, and Raja. When the trio declares a hunger-fast until their demands are met, he decides to let them run the household expenses, for a period of six months, by giving Ravi his entire salary. Ravi thinks that he can save a lot of money and get stuff for himself and his siblings - but things go seriously wrong when Raja loses money while gambling; relatives descend on them during Diwali; cash is stolen; and his mother, Padma ([[Nirupa Roy]]), becomes seriously ill.

== Plot ==
In [[1828]], Manikarnika is born in the [[ghat]]s of [[Varanasi]]. She is raised by her father, Moropanth, and [[Peshwa]] [[Bajirao II]] in [[Bithoor]]. She is a favourite of the Peshwa and he has brought her up with a lot of love. One day Dixit Ji of [[Jhansi State|Jhansi]] spots her facing a ferocious tiger fearlessly. Impressed, he asks Peshwa for her hand in marriage with [[Maharaja]] of the [[Maratha Empire|Maratha-ruled]] [[princely state]] of Jhansi, [[Gangadhar Rao]]. Dixit Ji is aware that the [[British people|British]] are eyeing Jhansi and want to annexe the kingdom. He realises that her brave persona would play a crucial role in giving a tough fight to the British. The marriage takes place and as per the tradition, the king gives her a new name – ‘Laxmibai’ (or Lakshmi Bai). All these developments upset Gangadhar's brother Sadashiv Rao. He is friendly with the British and wants to usurp the throne.

Laxmibai, after a few years, gives birth to Damodar and she is unable to contain her happiness. Her joy, however, is short-lived as Sadashiv surreptitiously poisons Damodar. Gangadhar, at the same time, falls ill too. Knowing that his death is near, he and Laxmibai decide to adopt a son who will rule Jhansi in the future. Much to Sadashiv's dismay, his son is not adopted, and instead, ‘Anand Rao’, the son of a courtier, is named the heir. He was renamed as Laxmibai instinctively calls him [[Damodar Rao of Jhansi|Damodar Rao]]. Gangadhar passes away, and the British attempt to annexe the throne. However, Laxmibai surprises everyone as she decides to take over the reins. She proclaims herself as the queen of Jhansi and challenges the British openly. When the British force her to vacate the palace, she walks gracefully into the village and is welcomed and greeted by a massive parade of villagers led by [[Jhalkaribai]]. She continues to live among the civilians quietly strategising to reclaim the throne.

The rebellions from the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]] reach Jhansi where the revolutionaries led by Sangram Singh kill General Gordon and his officers. They further attempt to kill their children and wives but their attempts are thwarted by Laxmibai. She plans to conquer the throne of Jhansi back while Sangram Singh and his men join the rebellion in [[Delhi]]. The [[East India Company]] requests the British government to appoint [[Hugh Rose, 1st Baron Strathnairn|Sir Hugh Rose]] to salvage the situation and remove Laxmibai from the throne permanently.

Knowing very well that she will soon be attacked again, Laxmibai begins training her own army, especially women, to fight. Laxmibai assembles an army of 20,000 troops, and Pathans join her later in 1858. During the siege of Jhansi, Laxmibai valiantly steps onto the battlefield to destroy the British cannons strategically placed in front of a temple. The strong fort walls keep Laxmibai and her army steady until Sadashiv Rao divulges secrets about the fort to the British, who finally break the siege and manage to storm the keep, resulting in the death of ‘Gaus-Baba’. Jhalkaribai, despite discovering that she is pregnant, acts as a decoy pretending to be the queen due to her striking resemblance to Laxmibai. She manages to distract the British army so that Laxmibai and Damodar can escape the castle safely. Jhalkaribai sacrifices herself in a major gunpowder explosion, killing numerous British officers along with her.

Laxmibai escapes to [[Kalpi]] to reunite with [[Tatya Tope]] and other allies. She captures the [[princely state]] of [[Gwalior State|Gwalior]] and motivates the troops to participate in the war. With a heavy heart, Laxmibai leaves Damodar and leads an attack on the British. Laxmibai bravely sets out to attack the huge British army even though she faces a certain defeat. Laxmibai gets shot by one of the British soldiers, and while taking her last breath she looks at Hugh Rose and immolates herself in a fire to avoid being captured and humiliated by the British. After Laxmibai's death, Jhansi is surrendered to the British Government in 1860 on behalf of Damodar Rao. Damodar Rao survives but lives a life suffering from prolonged illness and dire poverty, dying at the age of 58 in 1903. General Hugh Rose wrote about Rani Laxmibai's bravery and courage in his autobiography that "She was the most dangerous of all rebel leaders, best and bravest of all, the only man among mutineers".

== Critical reception ==
''Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi'' received mixed reviews from critics, who criticised the film's length; however, Ranaut's performance received widespread critical acclaim.<ref name="ManiReview"/> {{Rotten Tomatoes prose|score=45|count=11|average=5.2|consensus=|ref=yes |access-date=7 June 2025}}
[[File:KanganaRanaut 67thNationalFilmAwards1.jpg|thumb|300x300px| Ranaut's performance garnered widespread critical acclaim winning her the [[National Film Award for Best Actress]] at the [[67th National Film Awards]].]]

=== India ===
[[Anupama Chopra]] of ''[[Film Companion]]'' gave the film a rating of 3/5 and stated, "''Manikarnika'' reveals Ranaut as an artist with boundless ambition". Calling Ranaut's performance in the film "fiery" she wrote, "Ranaut is on fire as the iconic Rani Lakshmi Bai. Her spine is erect, her eyes are unblinking and she seems propelled by some other-worldly power. She’s riding horses, wielding swords, leaping on elephants, and making it all look plausible. When she looks into the camera and insists on dying for the country, you want to follow her into battle".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URGRnoDZpJ8|title=Anupama Chopra's Movie Review of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi | Kangana Ranaut|date=24 January 2019 |via=YouTube|access-date=25 January 2019|archive-date=20 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201120195627/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URGRnoDZpJ8|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Rajeev Masand]] of ''[[CNN-IBN]]'' gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote, "This is a deliberately simplistic film; an old-fashioned patriotic saga told in the broadest of strokes, and with full nationalist fervor". Praising Ranaut's performance he further wrote, "Ranaut’s extraordinary performance is the film’s biggest strength. She is unwavering in her portrayal of Rani Lakshmibai; There’s a hard-to-miss intensity in her eyes, and tenacity in her voice. She commands the screen with a fiery, arresting presence, never letting your attention wander away from her".<ref>{{Cite news|date=26 January 2019|title=Manikarnika Movie Review: Kangana Ranaut's Terrific Performance is the Film's Biggest Strength|url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/manikarnika-movie-review-kangana-ranaut-extraordinary-performance-is-the-film-biggest-strength-2014415.html|first=Rajeev|last=Masand|url-status=live|access-date=29 December 2021|website=[[CNN-IBN]]|archive-date=28 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128135557/https://www.news18.com/news/movies/manikarnika-movie-review-kangana-ranaut-extraordinary-performance-is-the-film-biggest-strength-2014415.html}}</ref> [[Namrata Joshi]] of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "Ranaut doesn’t just share the director’s credit; she overshadows all of the cast, including veterans like Danny Denzongpa and consummate performers like Atul Kulkarni and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub.

;''Paani''
Paani is an installation created with thousands of safety pins that hang on the wall, imitating a cascade of water, in a reimagination of the disaster that killed at least 5,700 people.<ref name=":1" />

;''My Salute''
My Salute is 8 feet long, three and a half feet high sculpture created with over one hundred thousand safety pins, stainless steel, and acrylic sheets.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":7">{{cite news |title=इन्होंने एक लाख सेफ्टीपिन से बनाया हेलिकॉप्टर, बनाने में लगा पूरा एक साल |url=https://www-bhaskar-com.translate.goog/news/RAJ-JAI-HMU-surendra-pal-joshi-made-helicopter-from-safety-pins-5317902-PHO.html?_x_tr_sl=hi&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=nui,sc |work=Dainik Bhaskar |date=7 May 2016 |language=hi}}</ref> The artwork is a tribute to the helicopters that navigated fog, rain, and treacherous Himalayan terrain to airlift about 23,892 people. The choppers air-dropped 650 tonnes of relief material but did not always escape the disaster themselves. One Mi-17 aircraft crashed in bad weather, killing 20 people on board who were all rescuers.<ref name=":1" /> The helicopter was a symbol of hope during the [[Kedarnath]] tragedy. It speaks of human labour, struggle and continued existence.<ref name=":1" /> It took Surendra Pal Joshi about a year to create the helicopter in his [[Jaipur]] studio. Joshi visited [[Hindustan Aeronautics Limited]] in Bangalore to research how helicopter is manufactured and understand the process to create safety pins of different sizes for their use in the helicopter.<ref name=":7" />

;''The Abode''
The Abode is an installation artwork depicting a double-storied house of [[Garhwali people|Garhwali]] village that stands half-collapsed. Deodar wood has been used to make the house. The roof is of slate stones which were brought from the villages of [[Yamunotri]] for authenticity. A few corn cobs, ready for harvest, hang from the sides of the artwork.<ref name=":1" />

==Governance==
The Uttara Museum of Contemporary Art was established by the [[Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority]] (MDDA) which is a state-run parastatal. The museum is now administered by Department of Culture, [[Government of Uttarakhand]]. In 2019, both MDDA and Department of Culture were criticised for not being able to find an art curator for the gallery along with unresolved maintenance issues of the building.<ref name=":9">{{cite news |last1=Mukherjee |first1=Sukanta |title=Almost 2 yrs after launch, city's lone art gallery yet to get curator {{!}} Dehradun News - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/almost-2-yrs-after-launch-citys-lone-art-gallery-yet-to-get-curator/articleshow/68070204.cms |work=The Times of India |date=19 Feb 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

The '''Hrusish''' or '''Southeast Kamengic''' languages<ref name="Anderson2014">Anderson, Gregory D.S. 2014. ''On the classification of the Hruso (Aka) language''. Paper presented at the 20th Himalayan Languages Symposium, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.</ref> possibly constitute a [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]] branch in [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[northeast India]]. They are [[Hruso language|Hruso]] (Aka) and [[Mijiic languages|Mijiic]].<ref name="Anderson2014"/> In [[Glottolog]], Hammarström, et al.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/hrus1242|title = Glottolog 4.4 - Hruso}}</ref> does not accept Hrusish, and considers similarities between Hruso and Miji to be due to loanwords.

==Names==
[[George van Driem]] (2014) and Bodt & Lieberherr (2015)<ref name="Bodt-Lieberherr"/> use the name ''Hrusish'', while Anderson (2014)<ref name="Anderson2014"/> prefers ''Southeast Kamengic''.

==Classification==
Anderson (2014)<ref name="Anderson2014"/> considers Hrusish to be a branch of [[Tibeto-Burman]]. However, Blench and Post (2011) suggest that the Hruso languages likely constitute an independent [[language family]].<ref>{{citation | first1 = Roger | last1 = Blench | first2 = Mark | last2 = Post | title = (De)classifying Arunachal languages: Reconstructing the evidence | url = http://www.rogerblench.info/Language/South%20Asia/NEI/General/Lingres/Declassifying%20Arunachal.pdf | year = 2011 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130526230734/http://www.rogerblench.info/Language/South%20Asia/NEI/General/Lingres/Declassifying%20Arunachal.pdf | archive-date = 2013-05-26 }}</ref>

==Reconstruction==
Proto-Hrusish has been reconstructed in by Bodt & Lieberherr (2015). Bodt & Lieberherr (2015:101) note that Proto-Hrusish displays a [[sound change]] from [[Proto-Tibeto-Burman]] *s- to ''t''-, which they note had also occurred in Bodo-Garo, Kuki-Chin, Tangkhulic, Central Naga, and Karbi languages. The Proto-Tibeto-Burman *-l and -r have also been lost in Proto-Hrusish.

Reconstructed Proto-Hrusish forms from Bodt & Lieberherr (2015) are given below.

==Habitat and ecology==
''H. brachysoma'' is found in smooth flowing areas with much vegetation. [[Periyar (river)|Periyar river]] in Kerala state is the best habitat but now they are commonly seen in the [[Chalakudy River]] due to the less disturbed habitats. The population genetic structure of this species has been studied extensively by using genetic markers.<ref>Abdul Muneer, P.M., Gopalakrishnan, A., Musammilu, K.K., Basheer, V.S., Mohindra, V., Lal, K.K., Padmakumar, K.G. & Ponniah, A.G.

''Biochemical Genetics, 45 (9-10): 637–645.''</ref> This species occupies lowland areas of rivers and backwaters with mud or sand substrate. It has also been recorded in deep pools and hill streams.<ref name=summary/>
The diet of ''H. brachysoma'' has been studied. It is an unspecialized feeder and eats a variety of meaty foods. Food items include [[crustacean]]s, [[mollusc]]s, and [[fish]]. Adults may consume terrestrial [[insect]]s and even [[frog]]s. Stomachs of these fish contain [[detritus]] which is indicative of its bottom-feeding habits.<ref name=diet/> This flexible diet is beneficial in its variable habitat, in which food availality is affected by [[monsoon]]s.<ref name=diet/> Feeding rate is known to increase during the breeding season in the months following the monsoon season.<ref name=diet/> Spawning occurs before the monsoons and finishes by the southwest monsoon in the summer.<ref name=summary/>

==Relationships with humans==
''H. brachysoma'' is an important food fish in India and is also sold in the [[aquarium]] trade. The [[IUCN]] considers ''H. brachysoma'' to be a [[vulnerable species]], while other have considered it to be an [[endangered species]].<ref name=biodiversity>{{cite journal|url=http://www.lars2.org/unedited_papers/unedited_paper/Kurup.pdf |title=Biodiversity Status of Fishes Inhabiting Rivers of Kerala (S.India) with Special Reference to Endemism, Threats, and Conservation Measures |author=Kurup, B.M. |author2=Radhakrishnan, K.V. |author3=Manojkumar, T.G. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008153352/http://www.lars2.org/unedited_papers/unedited_paper/Kurup.pdf |archive-date=2007-10-08 }}</ref> [[Overexploitation]], [[habitat destruction|habitat alteration]], [[pollution]] and related anthropogenic pressures on their natural habitats have considerably reduced populations of this species by 60–70% during the last few years.<ref name=diet/>
