They align themselves with the Pandavas during the [[Kurukshetra War]], where they are said to have slain numerous enemy combatants. While the text attributes to them the strength and ferocity of their fathers, the epic offers relatively limited individual characterisation for each of the brothers. Nonetheless, they are depicted as formidable figures on the battlefield, with only a select few warriors from the [[Kaurava]] side shown as capable of overcoming them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=The Mahābhārata|url=https://archive.org/details/mahabharata03buit|url-access=registration|year=1981|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|isbn=9780226846644|edition=Phoenix|editor=van Buitenen, J.A.B. |translator=van Buitenen}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the last night of the war after [[Duryodhana]]&#039;s death and the [[Kaurava]]s&#039; defeat, [[Ashvatthama]] gathered the only other surviving [[Kaurava]] warriors - [[Kritavarma]] and [[Kripa]], and attacked the Pandava camp. He killed [[Dhrishtadyumna]] and many other prominent warriors of the Pandava army while they were sleeping or tried to fight him back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ashvatthama]] killed all the Draupadeyas who were awake by then along with [[Shikhandi]] when they came out of their chambers after hearing the screams of other soldiers to fight [[Ashvatthama]]. In some versions of the story, he believes them to be the five Pandava brothers due to darkness; in others, he purposefully attacks the Pandavas&#039; [[Inheritance|heirs]] in order to hurt the Pandavas emotionally by destroying their lineage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ashwatthama was eventually cursed by [[Krishna]] for his heinous act of attempting to kill the baby [[Parikshit]] in the womb of Uttara, to roam the world for 3000 years with loneliness, incurable bruises and ulcers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Jataka tales version of the Mahabharata, Parikshit&#039;s mentors included Sutasoma. Prativindhya, Shrutakarma, and Shatanika at least (who even in Sauptika Parva is shown as wounded not dead) have definite longer lives in Jatakas.{{Citation needed|date=March 2026}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Daijiworld Media]] (Mangalore), the official International Media Partner for the movie, was instrumental in providing worldwide publicity coverage for the movie.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hr&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=68740&amp;amp;n_tit=%91Kazar%92+to+Hit+Silver+Screen+in+Udupi%2C+Mangalore+on+November+27 Kazar’ to Hit Silver Screen in Udupi, Mangalore on 27 November].

&lt;br /&gt;
===Casting===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Larry Fernandes]] had difficulties in facing the camera for the first time, but got used to it within a few days after support from his team. Larry lost 15 kilograms (33&amp;amp;nbsp;lb) in less than two months with a strict diet and regular exercises. Unlike Larry, his co-star, Coorgi actress Harshika Poonacha, had already acted in lead roles in two Kannada movies.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;df4&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Filming===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- [[File:Larry Fernandes (screenshot from Kazar).jpg|thumb|A screenshot of the movie]] --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The movie was shot at various locations such as Mangalore ([[Mangalore Airport (India)|Mangalore International Airport (Bajpe)]], [[Someshwar Beach]], and [[Pilikula Nisargadhama]]), [[Madikeri]] (Chomakudru and King&#039;s Cottage), Goan beaches (especially Dona-Paula), and [[Karwar]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Alvin Mendonca.

Mangaloremithr.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film was completed in May 2009 and was initially scheduled to be released on 9 September 2009.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rt&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Events such as cricket matches in 2009 and several other factors prevented an early release of the movie. The crew also wanted to release the movie in a good theater, due to the limited audience for regional movies.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rt&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; It got the Censor Board approval in November 2009. The movie had some glitches. The top portion of some scenes (including actors) was chopped off, reflecting the lack of professionalism in the work. Song pasteurization was adequate but patchy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;df8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sound ===&lt;br /&gt;
The movie has five songs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;d3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Aloysius Paul D&#039;Souza, Bishop of Mangalore, released the audio CD of the movie on 17 September 2009 at Don Bosco Hall (Mangalore), while the audio cassettes were released by Kundapur Narayana Kharvi, chairman of Konkani Sahitya Academy. The audio was brought out to the market by Julcas Audio International Corporation. The music was composed by Wilfy Rebimbus, Ragdev, and Vijaybharathi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;d44&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=65808&amp;amp;n_tit=Mangalore%3A+Bishop+Releases+Audio+CD+of+Konkani+Movie+%91Kazaar%92+++ Mangalore: Bishop Releases Audio CD of Konkani Movie ‘Kazaar’].

The [[1962 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 41 seats in the state.  The result was a victory for [[Indian National Congress]] winning 31 out of 41 seats. This would mark the last time, that Congress has won more than 30 seats in this state, without the help of allies. After the defeat of Congress, in Madras, in 1967, Congress sought help and allied with local parties, to get seats in Madras/Tamil Nadu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thomas Rayson&#039;&#039;&#039; (5 December 1888 – 28 January 1976) was an English architect who practised in [[Oxford]], and also a watercolourist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Family==&lt;br /&gt;
Rayson was born in [[Chennai|Madras]], India, on 5 December 1888, the second son of William John Rayson, who was then a railway engineer with the Locomotion Fabrication Plant for [[Indian Railways]], and his wife Elizabeth A. English. The family returned to England in 1890 and initially stayed at 8 Chandos Road, [[West Ham]], with the family of Thomas&#039;s maternal grandfather James English, who was a foreman boiler maker.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;1891 census&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Thomas&#039;s father then took over the Union Flag pub at 178 [[Lambeth Road]], London.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;1901 census&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thomas Rayson married Helen Hilton in 1933, and they had two children: Christopher (1934) and Julia (1937).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ Free BMD]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He died at the [[Churchill Hospital]], Oxford, on 28 January 1976.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death notice in &#039;&#039;The Times&#039;&#039;, 31 January 1976, p. 24&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education==&lt;br /&gt;
Rayson served articles with Robert Curwen of [[Bishopsgate Street]] in London, and then studied under Professor [[Arthur Beresford Pite]] and James Black Fulton at the Brixton School of Building.&amp;lt;ref name=who&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Who’s Who in Architecture (1926)&#039;&#039; (The Architectural Press, London)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was admitted as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1918 and as a Fellow in 1927.{{cn|date=December 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Rayson first came to Oxford in 1910 as an assistant to the architect [[Nathaniel William Harrison]], and in 1911 he was an architectural draughtsman of 22 boarding with his employer’s brother Hude Harrison and his family at 28 Warwick Street in east Oxford.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;1911 census of England &amp;amp; Wales&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was unable to undertake active service in the [[First World War]] as he had a [[collapsed lung]]. After spending time in [[Cambridge]] working on hospitals from 1916, in 1918 he was employed at the [[Ministry of Works (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Works]], and  was the site engineer of [[Witney Aerodrome]] in Oxfordshire.&amp;lt;ref name=oxfordtimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He started his practice in Oxford in an office in Turl Street, but had moved his office to 15 Broad Street by 1922 and to 47 Broad Street by 1930. By 1926 he was Housing Architect to the Municipal Authorities at [[Witney]] and [[Tottenham]], London, where he designed housing schemes.&amp;lt;ref name=who /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Roundabouts, The Ridings, Headington, Oxford.jpg|thumb|Roundabouts, the house designed in c.1930 by Thomas Rayson for his family]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In about 1930 he designed his own house called Roundabouts in The Ridings at the foot of [[Shotover]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1936 Rayson&#039;s office at 47 Broad Street was one of the buildings demolished to make way for the New Bodleian Library (now the [[Weston Library]]), and he moved his office to 35 Beaumont Street. In the late 1940s he moved his office again, this time to 29 Beaumont Street.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Kelly’s Directory of Oxford&#039;&#039; up to 1976 for dates of his offices&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rayson, who is described by Geoffrey Tyack as &amp;quot;the last of Oxford&#039;s Arts and Crafts-inspired architects&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Geoffrey Tyack, &#039;&#039;Oxford: An architectural guide&#039;&#039; (Oxford University Press, 1998)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; disliked most modern architecture in Oxford, saying: &amp;quot;St. Catherine&#039;s is in brick. It shouldn&#039;t be. St. Anne&#039;s, Somerville, and St. Hugh&#039;s – I should have liked them all to be in harmony with the Oxford tradition. The Law Library? Frankly I don&#039;t understand it: why that great monolithic block with columns underneath. Two words describe a lot of modern building like a lot of modern painting and music: barren and empty. One longs for something to hang on to and enjoy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=oxfordtimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He enjoyed drawing and painting, and served as Chairman of the Oxford Art Society. He was also musical and ran a quartet with friends and played with the [[Oxford Orchestral Society]].&amp;lt;ref name=oxfordtimes&amp;gt;&amp;quot;50 years&#039; service to architecture in city and County&amp;quot;, article published in the &#039;&#039;Oxford Times&#039;&#039; on 26 July 1968, p. 18 to celebrate Rayson&#039;s half century as an architect in Oxfordshire&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1966 he handed over his office at 29 Beaumont Street to his son Christopher Rayson, who was also an architect, and continued to work with him as a consultant until ill health caused him to retire in 1973/4.&amp;lt;ref name=oxfordtimes /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Family==&lt;br /&gt;
Raja Ratan Singh was born on 6 March 1619 as the eldest son of Rao Mahesh Das in [[Jalore Fort]] under the territory of his paternal home [[Marwar]] and his wife Kachwahiji (Rajawatji) Kusum Deiji, a granddaughter of [[Mirza (name)|Mirza]] [[Raja]] [[Man Singh I]] of [[Kingdom of Amber|Amber]] through his son Jhujhar Singh.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Accession and career ==&lt;br /&gt;
At a young age of twenty-three, Ratan Singh, armed with nothing but a dagger fought and controlled a mad elephant in Delhi and impressed its Emperor.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;RS&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Ratan Singh was recruited as an imperial general by Shah Jahan and was posted in [[Afghanistan]] as a [[mansabdar]]. He continued to gain fame by defeating wild bands of central Asian invaders and by later campaigning against the Persians under the Mughal prince [[Dara Shukoh]]. In 1648 he was given a Mughal rank of 3000 horsemen, the standard of [[Mahi Maratib]] and a [[Jagir]] of [[Malwa]], where he made Ratlam his capital.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;RS&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Ratan Singh was soon informed about [[Aurangzeb]] and [[Murad Bakhsh|Murad]]&#039;s betrayal and he immediately came to the aid of Shah Jahan to stop the Mughal princes. Ratan Singh fought the rebel army at Dharmatpur on 15 April 1658, most sources say that the Mughal generals deputed by Shah Jahan either fled or remained inactive throughout the battle. Ratan Singh thus took command of the remaining army and fought till his death.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{multiref2&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Recognition==&lt;br /&gt;
According to Karuna Joshi - &amp;quot;The Battle of Dharmat did not end after Jaswant Singh&#039;s flight from the war, but it was finished after the death of Ratan Singh.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Though Jaswant Singh fought bravely and got wounded, his escape from the battlefield was considered to be derogatory according to the custom of Rajasthan. So he obtained no place in the heroic poetry of Rajasthan. But Ratan singh&#039;s bravery, courage and sacrifice brought him name and fame which was amply described in the poems of contemporary poets like Khadia Jaga and Kumbhakaran Sada.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|first=Karuna|last=Joshi|title=New Light on the Battle of Dharmat|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress|publisher=Indian History Congress|year=1998|volume=59|pages=427–433|jstor=44147010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James Tod has written - &amp;quot;Of all the deeds of heroism performed on this day, those of Ratan of Ratlam by universal consent are pre-eminent and are wreathed into immortal rhyme by the bard in the Rasa Rao Ratna.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=ML/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Conquest of Malabar&#039;&#039;&#039; (1658–1663) encompassed a series of military campaigns led by [[Rijckloff van Goens]] with the objective of acquiring Portuguese-controlled territories along the Malabar Coast. The Dutch pursued these campaigns with determination, ultimately achieving success in their endeavor. As a result, the Dutch secured control over various regions along the Malabar Coast, marking a significant shift in the regional geopolitical landscape&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
On September 5, 1657, Rijckloff van Goens embarked from [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] on a voyage aimed at challenging the Portuguese presence in the [[Indian subcontinent]]. His journey initially brought him to Ceylon, where his primary objective was to dislodge the Portuguese from their positions on [[Sri Lanka|the island]].{{sfn|Vink|2015|page=366}}&lt;br /&gt;
He fleet departed from Batavia on September 6, 1657. By January 10, 1658, a fleet comprising 9 ships, 2 [[sloops]], and 8 large dhonies for transporting ammunition and supplies had been assembled in Colombo, along with a force of approximately 1,500 men. On February 1, the fleet advanced to [[Tuticorin]], successfully capturing the location. On February 20, they reached the island of Manar and secured the fortress there, which held 181 defenders and was captured on February 22. In March 1, Rijckloff van Goens crossed over and led a march to [[Jaffna]]. On April 27, the fort of &amp;quot;Cais,&amp;quot; located on a small island near [[Jaffna]], was captured. Subsequently, van Goens initiated a siege on the main castle in [[Jaffna]]. Because of the Dutch blockade of [[Goa]], no assistance came from there, and the Jaffna castle succumbed on June 22. The surrender followed significant casualties, with over 1,600 individuals within the castle having perished. [[Negapatam]] was successfully taken on August 1. Afterward, van Goens sailed to [[Pulicat]], a key Dutch base on the [[Coromandel Coast]]. He then made a return voyage via [[Jaffna]] and Manar before arriving in Colombo on November 3. During his return, he observed favorable conditions in [[Colombo]] when he returned.{{sfn|Galletti|2021|page=26}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Conquest==&lt;br /&gt;
Rijckloff van Goens resumed his Malabar campaign, capturing [[Quilon]] from the Portuguese on December 29.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Quilon surrenders to Dutch.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Quilon]] surrenders to the Dutch]] After moving to [[Cannanore]], he was instructed to send 500 men back to [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] and temporarily cease operations. Returning to [[Ceylon]], he left a significant garrison in [[Quilon]]. However, the garrison faced a siege from around &amp;quot;3,000 Portuguese and numerous Nairs.&amp;quot; Governor Van der Meyden [[Dutch Ceylon|of Ceylon]] intervened, withdrawing the garrison on April 14, 1659.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By June 27, 1661, the Batavia Council decided to assemble another fleet to attack Portuguese positions along India&#039;s coast and control the [[Goa]] bar, thwarting their support to Ceylon or Europe. On January 25, 1660, van Goens sailed again for Malabar. In early 1661, Governor Van der Meyden led a fleet with 1,200 men to join a patrol already near Malabar. By February 10, they reached Ayacotta, a key point on the strip known as the Island of Yypeen. This stretch links Cochin to the [[Cranganore]] passage, bridging sea and backwater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Ayacotta, near [[Palliport]], Van der Meyden negotiated with the [[Zamorin of Calicut]]&#039;s heir and the King of [[Cranganore]]. They agreed to attack Portuguese forts at [[Palliport]] and [[Cranganore]], sharing spoils if successful. Terms included keeping Christian captives, expelling Portuguese priests, demolishing forts, sharing costs, revenue, and administration. Near Palliport, Van der Meyden&#039;s troops landed on February 15, 1661, skirmishing with a [[Nair]] force and sustaining minor losses. On February 16, they advanced toward Palliport&#039;s main fortress, which likely differed from the 1507 castle, possibly constructed around 1600. The Portuguese had around 100-150 Europeans and 100 Nairs. The Dutch brought heavy artillery, constructing defenses.{{sfn|Galletti|2021|page=27}}The Dutch positioned two twelve-pound [[cannons]] and a [[Mortar (weapon)|mortar]], building a defensive structure to the south of the fort for protection against potential forces approaching from [[Cochin]]. Simultaneously, the Portuguese fled through the backwater passage, escaping the Dutch sloops before they could intercept them. A group of 300 to 500 Portuguese, accompanied by 4,000 to 5,000 [[Nairs]], had embarked on a journey by land and backwater from [[Cochin]], but their arrival was untimely. The Dutch had already gained control of the fort. A short while later, Van der Meyden gave Palliport to the [[Zamorin]] and returned to Colombo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both Palliport and Cranganore forts held strategic importance for Cochin. However, the Portuguese had fortified Cochin and Cranganore, making it seem too late to take further action in that season. however the Dutch still subsequently laid siege to Cranganore from January 3 to January 15, and their efforts were met with success. The fleet departed on March 5 and reached Colombo on March 26. Some ships were left at Cayenculam to safeguard the company&#039;s factory. Dispatches were sent to Batavia on April 5. Van der Meyden believed it unwise to attack the heavily garrisoned Cochin. In contrast, Van Goens believed it necessary to capture both Cochin and Quilon to strengthen their recent acquisitions and secure the region&#039;s pepper and wild cinnamon resources. He emphasized that the plan for Cochin should be remembered, regardless of any potential peace treaty with Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the meantime, the initial proposal was to make an attempt on S. Thomé. The Governors of Coromandel and Ceylon agreed that seizing this stronghold from the Portuguese should be a priority before pursuing peace. Van der Meyden envisioned S. Thomé becoming the main base for the Coromandel Coast, while Governor Pit of Coromandel preferred to maintain the headquarters at Pulicat. However, these plans did not materialize. In 1661, the King of Golconda placed S. Thomé under his direct protection.{{sfn|Galletti|2021|page=28}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |title=Hendrik Adriaan Van Reed Tot Drakestein 1636-1691 and Hortus, Malabaricus |last=Heniger |first=J. |publisher=CRC Press |year=2017 |isbn=9781351441070 |edition=E-book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rIZHDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=van+Goens+gathered+a+fleet+of+29+ships+and+more+then+4000+men&amp;amp;pg=PP52}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In March 1662, after capturing several forts, Van Goens returned to Batavia to gather additional reinforcements for a decisive expedition. He established garrisons in Cranganur and Quilon, after their capture. Setting out on August 26, 1662, he reached Cranganur on October 24. By October 28, he had commenced the [[siege of Cochin]]. They then occupied Papeneieland, an island near [[Cochin]], and Bolghatti Island. Additionally, he removed the pro-Portuguese claimant, [[Goda Varma]], from [[Anchi Kaimal]].&lt;br /&gt;

On January 5, 1663, Van Goens made the decision to launch an assault on the fort at [[Cochin]].&lt;br /&gt;
By January 7, the fort had surrendered. He displaced the Portuguese inhabitants and relocated them elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
However, news reached Van Goens that Cranganur had been retaken by the Portuguese. Responding promptly, he dispatched a well-equipped force to regain control, successfully recapturing it. This marked the definitive expulsion of the Portuguese from the Malabar region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |title=Hendrik Adriaan Van Reed Tot Drakestein 1636-1691 and Hortus, Malabaricus |last=Heniger |first=J. |publisher=CRC Press |year=2017 |isbn=9781351441070 |edition=E-book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rIZHDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=van+Goens+gathered+a+fleet+of+29+ships+and+more+then+4000+men&amp;amp;pg=PP52}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{History of Gujarat}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Gujarat]], a region in western India, fell under the [[Delhi Sultanate]] following [[Alauddin Khalji&#039;s conquest of Gujarat|repeated expeditions]] under [[Alauddin Khalji]] around the end of the 13th century. He conquered the Kingdom of Gujarat which had been under the rule of the [[Vaghela dynasty]] under [[Karna (Vaghela dynasty)|Karna II]] and established Muslim rule in Gujarat. Soon the [[Tughluq dynasty]] came to power in Delhi whose emperor carried out expeditions to quell rebellion in Gujarat and established their firm control over the region by the end of the century. Following [[Timur]]&#039;s invasion of Delhi, the Delhi Sultanate weakened considerably so that the last Tughluq governor [[Muzaffar Shah I|Zafar Khan]] declared himself independent in 1407 and formally established the [[Gujarat Sultanate]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the long coast of Gujarat, Muslim presence on its shores has been recorded since the 8th century due to economic and cultural reasons.{{sfn | Patel |2004|p=13}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat remained free from interference of Muslim rulers except for the expedition of [[Mahmud of Ghazni|Mahmud Ghazni]] against the [[Somnath temple|Somnath Temple]] in 1024; the defeat of [[Muhammad of Ghor]] by [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukya]] King [[Bhima II]] of Aṇahilaváḍa (now [[Patan, Gujarat]]) in about 1178; the Ghurid campaigns in 1172 and 1197; and the avenging sack of Aṇahilaváḍa and defeat of Bhíma by [[Mamluk dynasty (Delhi)|Mamluk]] Emperor [[Qutb al-Din Aibak]] in 1194, until the reign of [[Alauddin Khalji|Alá-ud-dín Khalji]] (1295–1315).{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=230}}{{sfn | Patel |2004|pp=3-6}}{{efn-ua|The &#039;&#039;Mirăt-i-Áhmedi&#039;&#039; gives an account of an expedition by one Alif khán a noble of Sultán Sanjar’s against Aṇahilaváḍa in 1257. He is said to have built the large stone mosque without the city. Alif khán returned unsuccessful, but not without levying tribute.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second half of the 13th century, [[Cambay]] (now Khambhat) was under Muslim official Shihabuddin ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya who must have been appointed under Chaulukya-Vaghela rulers.{{sfn | Patel |2004|pp=13-11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Governors under Khalji dynasty==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Alauddin Khalji&#039;s conquest of Gujarat}}&lt;br /&gt;
In 1297, [[Ulugh Khan]], general and brother of Alá-ud-dín Khalji, and [[Nusrat Khan Jalesari|Nasrat Khán Wazír]] were sent against [[Patan, Gujarat|Aṇahilaváḍa]]. They took the city expelling [[Karna (Vaghela dynasty)|Karna II]] of [[Vaghela dynasty]], who took refuge in Deccan. They next seized [[Khambhat]], and, after appointing a local governor, returned to Delhi. Ulugh Khán consolidated the conquest by repeated expeditions. The &#039;&#039;[[Kanhadade Prabandha]]&#039;&#039; says that he plundered [[Somnath temple|Somnath]], and there is no doubt that he conquered [[Jalore]] (the ancient Jhálindar) from the Songadha Chauháns. Ulugh Khán died circa 1301–1302.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=230}}{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|p=348}}{{sfn|Peter Jackson|2003|p=197}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alp Khan]], a brother-in-law of Alá-ud-dín, was appointed as the governor of Gujarat. He had governed Gujarát for few years. At the instigation of [[Malik Kafur|Malik Káfur]], he was recalled and put to death by the emperor Alá-ud-dín Khalji in 1316. The [[Jain]] works praise Alp Khan for allowing reconstruction of the shrines destroyed by the Muslim conquerors.{{sfn|Iqtidar Alam Khan|2008|p=24}} Kakka Suri&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Nabhi-nandana-jinoddhara-prabandha]]&#039;&#039; records the [[Palitana temples|Shatrunjaya temple]] renovation permitted by him.{{sfn|John Cort|2010|pp=213-214}}{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=230}}{{sfn|Edward Clive Bayley|1886|p=39}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alp Khán’s execution shook Muslim power in Gujarát, and [[Kamal al-Din Gurg|Kamál-ud-dín]], whom [[Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah|Mubárak Khalji]] sent to quell the disturbances, was slain in battle. Sedition spread till [[Ayn al-Mulk Multani|Ain-ul-Mulk Multáni]] arrived{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=230}} with a powerful army, defeated the rebels and restored order. He was succeeded by Zafar Khán, who after completing the subjection of the country was recalled, and his place supplied by Hisám-ud-dín Parmár.{{efn-ua|According to Ziá Barni (Elliot, III. 218) Hisám-ud-dín was the mother’s brother, according to others he was the brother of Hasan afterwards Khusraw Khán Parmár the favourite of Mubárak Sháh. On coming to Gujarát Hisám-ud-dín collected his Parmár kindred and revolted, but the nobles joining against him seized him and sent him to Dehli. To their disgust Mubárak in his infatuation for Hisám-ud-dín’s nephew or brother, after slapping Hisám-ud-dín on the face set him at liberty.}} This officer, showing treasonable intentions, was imprisoned and succeeded by Malik Wájid-ud-dín Kuraishi, who was afterwards ennobled by the title of Táj or Sadr-ul-Mulk. Khusraw Khán Parmár was then appointed governor, but it is not clear whether he ever joined his appointment.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=231}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Governors under Tughluq dynasty==&lt;br /&gt;
===Táj-ul-Mulk, 1320 and successors===&lt;br /&gt;
The next governor to whom reference is made is Táj-ul-Mulk, who about 1320, was, for the second time, chosen as governor by Sultán [[Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq|Ghiás-ud-dín Tughluq]]. He was succeeded by Malik Mukbil, who held the titles of Khán Jahán and Náib-i-Mukhtár, and who was appointed by the Emperor [[Muhammad bin Tughluq]] (1325–1351).{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=231}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subsequently, Muhammad bin Tughluq granted the government of Gujarát to Áhmad Ayáz, Malik Mukbil continuing to act as his deputy. Afterwards when Áhmad Ayáz, who received the title of Khwájah Jahán, proceeded as governor to Gujarát, Malik Mukbil acted as his minister. And about 1338, when Khwájah Jahán was sent against the emperor’s nephew Karshásp and the Rája of Kampila{{efn-ua| In [[Karnataka]], probably on the [[Tungabhadra River]] near [[Vijayanagar]].

On one occasion between [[Baroda]] and [[Dabhoi]], Malik Mukbil, who was escorting treasure and a caravan of merchants to Delhi, was plundered by some bands of the Amírán-i Sada{{efn-ua|literally Captains of Hundreds; singular &#039;&#039;Amír-i Sada&#039;&#039;.

In the following year, 1347, Muhammad bin Tughluq, advancing in person, defeated the rebels, and sacked the towns of [[Cambay]] (now Khambhat) and [[Surat]]. During the same campaign he drove the Gohil chief Mokhadaji out of his stronghold on [[Piram Island]] near [[Ghogha]] on the [[Gulf of Khambhat]], and then, landing his forces, after a stubborn conflict, defeated the Gohils, killing Mokhadaji and capturing Ghogha. Afterwards Muhammad bin Tughluq left for [[Daulatabad, Maharashtra|Daulatabad]] in the Deccan, and in his absence the chiefs and nobles under Malik Túghán, a leader of the Amírán-i Sada, again rebelled, and, obtaining possession of Patan, imprisoned Muîzz-ud-dín the viceroy. The insurgents then plundered Cambay, and afterwards laid siege to [[Bharuch]]. Muhammad Tughlak at once marched for Gujarát and relieved Bharuch, Malik Túghán retreating to Cambay, whither he was followed by Malik Yúsuf, whom the emperor sent in pursuit of him. In the battle that ensued near Cambay, Malik Yúsuf was defeated and slain,{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=231}} and all the prisoners, both of this engagement and those who had been previously captured, were put to death by Malik Túghán. Among the prisoners was Muîzz-ud-dín, the governor of Gujarát. Muhammad Tughluq now marched to Cambay in person, hence Malik Túghán retreated to Pátan, pursued by the emperor, who was forced by stress of weather to halt at Asáwal (now [[Ahmedabad]]). Eventually the emperor came up with Malik Túghán near [[Kadi, Gujarat|Kadi]] and gained a complete victory, Malik Túghán fleeing to [[Thatta]] in [[Sindh]].{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=232}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Subdues Girnár and Kutch, 1350 ====&lt;br /&gt;
To establish order throughout Gujarát, Muhammad bin Tughluq marched against [[Girnar]], reduced the fortress, and levied tribute from the it [[Chudasama dynasty|Chudasama]] chief [[Khengara]]. He then went to [[Cutch State|Kutch]], and after subduing that country returned to Sorath. At [[Gondal, Gujarat|Gondal]], he contracted a fever, and before he was entirely recovered, he advanced through Kutch into Sindh with the view of subduing the [[Sumra dynasty|Sumra]] chief of Thatta, who had sheltered Malik Túghán. Before reaching Thatta he succumbed to the fever, and died in the spring of 1351. Shortly before his death, he appointed Nizám-ul-Mulk to the government of Gujarát.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=232}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1351, [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq]] succeeded Muhammad bin Tughluq on the throne of Dehli. Shortly after his accession the emperor marched to Sindh and sent a force against Malik Túghán. About 1360 he again advanced to Sindh against Jám Bábunia. From Sindh he proceeded to Gujarát, where he stayed for some months.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=232}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Zafar Khan, 1371 and successors===&lt;br /&gt;
Next year, on leaving for Sindh for the third time, Firuz Shah Tughlaq bestowed the government of Gujarát on Zafar Khán in place of Nizám-ul-Mulk. On Zafar Khán’s death, in 1373 according to &#039;&#039;Farishtah&#039;&#039; and 1371 according to the &#039;&#039;Mirăt-i-Áhmedi&#039;&#039;, he was succeeded by his son Daryá Khán who appears to have governed by a deputy named Shams-ud-dín Anwar Khán. In 1376, besides presents of elephants horses and other valuables, one Shams-ud-dín Dámghání offered a considerable advance on the usual collections from Gujarát. As Daryá Khán would not agree to pay this sum he was displaced and Shams-ud-dín Dámghání was appointed governor. Finding himself unable to pay the stipulated amount this officer rebelled and withheld the revenue. Firuz Shah Tughlaq sent an army against him, and by the aid of the chieftains and people, whom he had greatly oppressed, Shams-ud-dín was slain. The government of the province was then entrusted to Farhat-ul-Mulk Rásti Khán.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=232}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Farhat-ul-Mulk, 1376–1391===&lt;br /&gt;
In about 1388, a noble named Sikandar Khán was sent to supersede Farhat-ul-Mulk, but was defeated and slain by him. As the emperor Firuz Shah Tughluq died shortly after no notice was taken of Farhat-ul-Mulk’s conduct and in the short reign of Fírúz’s successor [[Tughluq Khan|Ghiás-ud-dín Tughluq]], no change was made in the government of Gujarát. During the brief rule of [[Abu Bakr Shah]], Farhat-ul-Mulk continued{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=232}} undisturbed. But in 1391, on the accession of [[Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq|Násir-ud-dín Muhammad Tughluq II]], a noble of the name of Zafar Khán was appointed governor of Gujarát, and despatched with an army to recall or, if necessary, expel Farhat-ul-Mulk.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=233}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Zafar Khán, 1391–1403===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Muzaffar Shah I}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:002Muzaffir-1.JPG|thumb|Copper coin of [[Muzaffar Shah I|Muzaffar Shah]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 1391, Sultan Nasir ud din Muhammad Shah III appointed Zafar Khan, the son of Wajih-ul-Mulk as governor of Gujarat and conferred him the title of Muzaffar Khan. In passing [[Nagaur|Nagor]] he was met by a deputation from Cambay, complaining of the tyranny of Rásti Khán. Consoling them, he proceeded to Pátan, the seat of government, and then marched against Rásti Khán. The armies met near the village of [[Kamboi]], a dependency of Pátan, and Farhat-ul-Mulk Rásti Khán was slain and his army defeated. To commemorate the victory, Zafar Khán founded a village on the battle-field, which he named Jítpur (the city of victory), and then, starting for Cambay, redressed the grievances of the people.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=233}} It was rumoured that Farhat-ul-Mulk was trying to establish independent rule in Gujarat. In 1392, Farhat-ul-Mulk was defeated and killed in the battle of Khambhoi or Kambhor (now Gambhu), near [[Anhilwad Patan|Anhilwada Patan]] and occupied the city of Anhilwada Patan. He founded Jitpur at the site of victory.&amp;lt;ref name=m1&amp;gt;{{Cite book|title=The Delhi Sultanate|last=Majumdar|first=R.C.|publisher=Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan|year=2006|location=Mumbai|pages=155–157}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{sfn | Taylor |1902|pp=4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the death of Nasir ud din Muhammad Shah III in 1392, his son Sikandar assumed the throne but he died just after 45 days. He was succeeded by his brother [[Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq]] II but his cousin [[Nasir-ud-din Nusrat Shah Tughluq|Nusrat Khan]] also claimed similar rank in [[Firozabad|Firuzabad]].{{sfn | Taylor |1902|pp=5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zafar Khán’s first warlike expedition was against the Rao of [[Idar State|Idar]], who, in 1393, had refused to pay the customary tribute, and this chief he humbled. The contemporary histories seem to show that the previous governors had recovered tribute from all or most of the chiefs of Gujarát except from the Ráo of [[Junagadh]] and the Rája of [[Rajpipla State|Rajpipla]], who had retained their independence. Zafar Khán now planned an expedition against the celebrated [[Somnath temple]], but, hearing that Ádil Khán of [[Asirgarh Fort|Ásír-Burhánpur]] had invaded Sultánpur and [[Nandurbar]], he moved his troops in that direction, and Ádil Khán retired to Ásir.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=233}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1394, he marched against the Ráo of Junágaḍh named [[Mokalasimha]] and exacted tribute. Afterwards, proceeding to Somnath, he destroyed the temple, built an Jumma Mosque, introduced Islám, left Muslim law officers, and established a &#039;&#039;thána&#039;&#039; or post in the city of [[Prabhas Patan|Somnáth Pátan]] or Deva Pátan. He heard that the Hindus of [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]] were oppressing the Muslims, and, accordingly, marching there, he beleaguered that fortress for a year, but failing to take it contented himself with accepting the excuses of the Rája. From Mándu he performed a pilgrimage to [[Ajmer]]. Here he proceeded against the chiefs of [[Sambhar, Rajasthan|Sambhar]] and Dandwana, and then attacking the Rájputs of Delváḍa and Jháláváḍa,{{efn-ua|Identification of Delváḍa and Jháláváḍa are somewhat difficult. The context suggests either [[Jalore]] in [[Rajasthan]] or Jháláváḍa in the extreme south-east of Rajasthan, south of [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]]. The combination Delváḍa and Jháláváḍa seems to favour [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]] region of Gujarat since there is a [[Delvada]] in the south of the Saurashtra near [[Diu, India|Diu]] and a [[Jhalawad prant|Jháláváḍa]] in the north-east. But the Delváda of the text can hardly be near Diu. It apparently is Delváda near [[Eklingji]] about twenty miles north of [[Udaipur]]. The account of [[Ahmad Shah I]]’s expedition to the same place in 1431 confirms this identification.}} he defeated them, and returned to Pátan in 1396.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=234}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About this time his son [[Muhammad Shah I|Tátár Khán]], leaving his baggage in the fort of [[Panipat]], made an attempt on Delhi. But Iqbál Khán took the fort of Pánipat, captured Tátár Khán’s baggage, and forced him to withdraw to Gujarát. In 1397, with the view of reducing Ídar, Zafar Khán besieged the fort, laying waste the neighbouring country.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=234}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In prevailing situation, [[Timur]] invaded India and marched on Delhi in 1398. In early 1399, he defeated Mahmud II and looted and destroyed the much of Delhi. Sultan Mahmud II escaped and after many wanderings, reached Patan. He hoped to secure Zafar Khan&#039;s alliance to march to Delhi but Zafar Khan declined. He went to Malwa where he was declined again by local governor. Meanwhile, his Wazir Iqbal Khan had expelled Nusrat Khan from Delhi so he returned to Delhi but he had no longer enough authority over provinces which were ruled independently by his governors.{{sfn | Taylor |1902|pp=5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Zafar Khan had taken the Idar fort Zafar Khán received news of Timur&#039;s conquest of Delhi, and concluding a peace with the Ídar king, returned to Pátan. In 1398, hearing that the Somnáth people claimed independence, Zafar Khán led an army against them, defeated them, and established Islám on a firm footing.{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=234}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1403, Zafar Khan&#039;s son Tatar Khan urged his father to march on [[Delhi]], which he declined. As a result, in 1403, Tatar imprisoned him in Ashawal (future Ahmedabad) and declared himself sultan under the title of Muhammad Shah. He humbled the chief of [[Nandod]] in [[Rajpipla]]. He marched towards Delhi, but on the way he was poisoned by his uncle, Shams Khán Dandáni at Sinor on the north bank of [[Narmada River]].  Some sources says he died naturally due to weather or due to his habit of heavy drinking. After the death of Muhammad Shah, Zafar was released from the prison in 1404. Zafar Khán asked his own younger brother Shams Khán Dandáni to carry on the government, but he refused. Zafar Khán accordingly sent Shams Khán Dandáni to Nágor in place of Jalál Khán Khokhar. Zafar took over the control over administration. In 1407, he declared himself as Sultan [[Muzaffar Shah I]] at Birpur or Sherpur, took the insignia of royalty and issued coins in his name. Thus he formally established [[Gujarat Sultanate]].{{sfn | Taylor |1902|pp=6-7}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;m1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{sfn | Nayak |1982|pp=66-73}}{{snf|Campbell|1896|p=235}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Architecture==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Jami Masjid Complex, Khambhat.JPG|thumb|[[Jami Masjid, Khambhat|Jami Masjid]] in Khambhat, built in 1325 during Tughluq rule, marks the start of Islamic architecture in Gujarat.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The construction during this period continued earlier local architecture tradition which has reached in its pinnacle as [[Māru-Gurjara architecture|Maru-Gurjara Architecture]]. The tradition continued in temples, mosques, residents and civic structures. The local tradition was modified and expanded to suit Islamic believes, rituals and practices. The construction of Islamic ritual buildings such as mosques were codified and standardised. Such codification is found in 15th century Sanskrit treatise, &#039;&#039;Rahmana-Prasada&#039;&#039;. One such early example of mosque include the Jami Mosque in [[Mangrol, Kathiawar|Mangrol]] built in 1383-84.{{sfn | Patel |2004|pp=7-11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The notable mosques built during this period include Mosque of Al-Iraji at Junagadh (1286–87), Rahimat Mosque in Mangrol (1382–1383), [[Jami Masjid, Bharuch|Jami Mosque of Bharuch]] (1321), [[Jami Masjid, Khambhat|Jami mosque of Khambhat]], Bahlol Khan Gazi or Hilal Khan Kazi Mosque (1333) and Tanka Mosque (1361) in [[Dholka]]. The tomb of Al-Khazeruni in Khambhat was built in 1333.{{sfn | Patel |2004|pp=xi-xvi}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stepwells ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Madhavav]] in [[Wadhwan]] was built in 1294 (Vikram Samvat 1350) by Nagar Brahmin Madha and Keshav, the ministers in court of the last Vaghela ruler Karna. The Batris Kotha stepwell in [[Kapadvanj]] may have belonged to the 13th century due to its similarity with the  Madha and Vikia stepwells.{{sfn | The Stepwells of Gujarat: In Art-historical Perspective | 1981 |page=22}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A large number of stepwells were constructed in the 14th century. Sodhali stepwell in [[Mangrol, Kathiawar|Mangrol]] was built in 1319 (V. S. 1375) by Vali Sodhala of Modha caste.{{sfn | The Stepwells of Gujarat: In Art-historical Perspective | 1981 |page=22}} The stepwell near the Brahma temple of [[Khedbrahma]] belonged to the 14th century judged by its style. The Suda stepwell in [[Mahuva, Bhavnagar|Mahuva]] (1381), Hani stepwell in Dhandhusar (1389/1333 AD) and Siddhnath Mahadev stepwell in Dholka were built during Tughluq rule in Gujarat. The stepwell of Sampa near Ahmedabad was built in 1328.{{sfn | The Stepwells of Gujarat: In Art-historical Perspective | 1981 |page=23}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Honest and diligent [[Forest Range Officer|Range Forest Officer]] Kishan Srivastav (Jackie Shroff) and his wife Jaya (Jaya Prada) come to the rural area of Ramgarh, and upset the criminal activities of Thakur Dayalu (Anupam Kher), a corrupt police inspector, Kiran Kumar (Kumar) and their cronies. These activities include the capture and killing of wildlife so that Dayalu can decorate his palatial home. As Kishan attempts to disrupt their criminal enterprise, he finds that Dayalu Singh has by-passed him and complained to his superiors, thereby getting him dismissed from employment and being framed and imprisoned for a murder. Dayalu has not only gotten away with murder, but had also killed Gopal (Sunny Deol) in the presence of his girlfriend and to-be bride, Jugni (Sridevi), making her lose her sanity. Dayalu frames Jugni&#039;s dad, Jwalaprasad (Kharbanda) for the murder of Gopal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Jaya all by herself, Dayalu turns his lustful eyes towards her, but just at the right moment, Ramu, a baby elephant comes to her rescue and fights with the Thakur. When Kishan is jailed for seven years, his wife Jaya faints in the court and falls sick. Her son and Ramu the elephant take care of her, doing a street play to earn money for her medicines. Kishan escapes from jail with the help of Ramu the elephant, who packs his favorite boots for him. Ramu helps the family flee from the clutches of Thakur and his crony policemen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the family is hiding in the jungle, the son starts feeling hungry. Ramu goes near a temple and starts blessing women, who give him money. With this money, he buys bread for the family. Inspector Kiran Kumar sees this and follows Ramu the elephant into the jungle. Kiran finds the family and prepares to shoot Kishan; however, Ramu snatches the gun from him using his trunk. Together Kishan and Ramu fight off the policemen. Ramu eventually kills Kiran by trampling him. Meanwhile, Jwalaprasad is released from jail, only to find out that Jugni has escaped from the asylum. Jwalaprasad finds her in front of a temple, with perfect makeup, where she refuses to recognize him. Jugni is still under the perception that she is going to get married. Jwalaprasad managed to corner Thakur&#039;s men and tries to fight them alone. The men throw him into a swamp, but Kishan comes at the right time to save him, and Ramu the elephant pulls Jwalaprasad out of the swamp. Thakur&#039;s chief goon into the swamp making Thakur very angry. His men manage to shoot the sole witness to Kishan&#039;s innocence. Kishan takes this man to the hospital and threatens a doctor in order to save the witness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thakur has an epiphany that he is going to die, and in order to protect himself, he goes back to abduct Jaya, and kills a villager in the process. Jugni is reminded of the tragedy she faced and faints. Jwalaprasad informs Kishan that his wife has been abducted and both of them go to fight Thakur in his palatial house. They are both captured. Jugni arrives there, calling Dayalu Thakur her father, who tells her that he himself is Jugni&#039;s fiancée. Jugni then dresses up, and starts dancing in an attempt to fool him. Jugni, revealing her fighting skills, manages to release all three captives. Amidst this fight she is shot. Thakur manages to escape the drama, but Kishan, Jugni and Ramu the elephant catch up with him. Jugni kills Thakur and avenges Gopal&#039;s death. Ramu the elephant also remembers that Thakur had killed his mom and tramples Thakur. Jugni eventually dies from her injuries. Ramu the elephant implores the audience to save animals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Watch Main Tera Dushman Full HD Movie Online on ZEE5 |url=https://www.zee5.com/movies/details/main-tera-dushman/0-0-2507 |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=ZEE5 |language=en-IN}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This film dubbed is in Tamil titled &#039;&#039;Mutham Thara Vaa&#039;&#039; and in Telugu as &#039;&#039;Rangeela&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;movie&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://moviegalleri.net/2013/04/mutham-thara-vaa-movie-stills-riya-sen-veena-malik.html |title=Mutham Thara Vaa Tamil Movie Stills |access-date=13 April 2013 |archive-date=14 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130414102357/http://moviegalleri.net/2013/04/mutham-thara-vaa-movie-stills-riya-sen-veena-malik.html |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Zindagi 50-50 revolves around three different stories. Zindagi means life. Sometimes it&#039;s fun, and sometimes it&#039;s a curse, but it&#039;s just a point of view. People pray to God for happiness so that they can enjoy their lives. But God says that he had already given a life to them, to enjoy all the happiness. It has been said that the way you ask questions about your life, it answers you in the same manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Zindagi 50:50&amp;quot; is the same story of such questions and answers: it&#039;s a story of Rupa (a housewife), Madhuri (a prostitute), and Naina (a struggling actress). Rupa&#039;s husband, Birju (an auto driver), has a dream of getting a house. To fulfill his dream, Rupa breaks all the limits of her life. To complete her dream of house, CR Lele (a government servant) pushes her in a dark side of her life, where she gets the house, but also gets a smirch on her respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zindagi 50:50 is a story of the special dreams of a common man. And to fulfill those dreams, he has to struggle a lot, but sometimes they get it easily, and sometimes he has to lose everything. &amp;quot;Zindagi 50:50&amp;quot; has this same feeling of losing and getting.&lt;br /&gt;

Prasanna D Zore for [[Rediff.com]] has given 2/5 stars and says &#039;&#039;Zindagi 50–50&#039;&#039; makes a brave but half-hearted effort to depict the dark cruelty that surrounds ordinary lives of three women.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Family background ===&lt;br /&gt;
Khan&#039;s family were said to be descendants of [[Ali]], the fourth [[Khalifa|Caliph]] of [[Rashidun Caliphate]].&amp;lt;ref name=pre/&amp;gt; Initially settling in [[Bukhara]], they migrated to [[Multan]] and later to [[Kannauj]] (also sometimes spelled as Qannawj). Khan was born in Bareilly, which was the natal home of his mother, on 14 October 1832.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Abu Nasr Syed Mohammad Ali Hasan Khan, &#039;&#039;Maasir e Siddiqui Part 2&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Shaharyar Khan]], &#039;&#039;The Begums of Bhopal: A History of the Princely State of Bhopal&#039;&#039;, p. 120.

Leiden: Brill Publishers, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After few days, his mother brought him to his ancestral city [[Kannauj]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ReferenceA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khan grew up in a family which was impoverished despite its history of [[Ulama|Islamic scholarship]]; his father converted from [[Shia Islam|Shi&#039;a Islam]] to [[Sunni Islam]] in the early 1800s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Siddiq Hasan&#039;s father Sayyid Awlad Hasan was a strong supporter of [[Sayyid Ahmad Shahid|Sayyid Ahmad]], pledging &#039;&#039;[[Bay&#039;ah]]&#039;&#039; (oath of allegiance) at his hands and had accompanied him to [[Afghanistan]] in the [[North-West Frontier Province|northwest frontier Province]] to participate in his famous &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith#Indian Jihad Movement|Jihad]]&#039;&#039; movement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Alavi|first=Seema|title=Muslim Cosmopolitanism in the Age of Empire|publisher=Harvard University Press|year=2015|isbn=978-0-674-73533-0|location=Cambridge, MA; London|page=268|chapter=Chapter 5: Nawab Siddiq Hasan Khan and the Muslim Cosmopolis}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Wilayat Ali Khan and Inayat Ali Khan, two major leaders of the Wahhabi Jihad movement  had stayed briefly in Khan&#039;s house in Qannauj. Under the instructions and tutelage of Wilayat Ali, Khan studied the Hadith work &#039;&#039;[[Bulugh al-Maram]]&#039;&#039; and later wrote a well-known commentary on it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Ahmed |first=Qeyamuddin |author-link=Qeyamuddin Ahmad |title=The Wahhabi Movement in India |publisher=Routledge: Taylor and Francis Group |year=2020 |isbn=978-0-367-51483-9 |location=Abingdon, Oxon |page=257 |chapter=IX: The Concluding Phase of the Movement}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Religious Studies ===&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, Khan was influenced by the religious ideals of Sayyid Ahmad and his Wahhabi Jihad movement in his early life. Khan received much of his education in [[Farrukhabad|Farukhabad]], [[Kanpur]] and Delhi under the care of friends of his father, who died when Khan was only five years old.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Khan, p. 121.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;alav5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 5.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While in Delhi, Siddiq Hasan studied [[Hadith studies|Hadith sciences]] under the tutelage of &#039;Abd al Haqq Banarasi (d.1870) who was a major source of influence in shaping the teachings of &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith]]&#039;&#039;. &#039;Abd al Haqq Banarasi was a member of [[Syed Ahmad Barelvi|Sayyid Ahmad Shahid&#039;s]] &#039;&#039;[[Hajj]]&#039;&#039; to [[Mecca]] in 1821 and decided to stay behind in [[Hejaz]]. Later Banarasi travelled to the Yemenite capital [[Sana&#039;a]], and studied under the theologian [[Shawkani|al-Shawkānī]] (d. 1834). After his studies under in [[Yemen]], Banarasi would be the first scholar in India to introduce the works of Shawkani in [[Indian subcontinent|India]]. When Khan adopted &#039;Abd al-Haqq as his teacher, the latter had become a well known &#039;&#039;[[Muhaddith]]&#039;&#039; noted for his stances against &#039;&#039;[[Taqlid]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Krawietz, Tamer 2013 174&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|editor1-last=Krawietz|editor1-first=birgit|editor2-last=Tamer|editor2-first=Georges|title=Islamic Theology, Philosophy and Law: Debating Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya|publisher=Walter De Gruyter|year=2013|isbn=978-3-11-028534-5|location=Berlin|page=174|chapter=Screening Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khān&#039;s Library: The Use of Ḥanbalī Literature in 19th-Century Bhopal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After pursuing [[Islamic studies]] with two Yemeni clerics who had emigrated to Bhopal, Khan came under the influence of the works of prolific Yemeni Islamic scholar [[Muhammad ash-Shawkani]].&amp;lt;ref name=pre/&amp;gt; The [[Islah|reformist]] influence on Khan&#039;s thinking only increased with his performance of &#039;&#039;[[Hajj]]&#039;&#039; (Muslim pilgrimage) to [[Mecca]], during which he became familiar with the works of the 14th century [[Syrians|Syrian]] polemicist [[Ibn Taymiyyah]]. Khan brought back a large amount of books with him upon returning to [[Bhopal]] and began writing commentaries.&amp;lt;ref name=jamal71/&amp;gt; Khan relocated to Bhopal in 1854 initially selling perfume but later working as a schoolteacher, where his religious views gained him the ire of traditionalist locals.&amp;lt;ref name=alav5/&amp;gt; He was expelled to [[Tonk (princely state)|Tonk]] in 1857, but soon returned to Kannauj to protect his family during the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]].&amp;lt;ref name=khan122&amp;gt;M.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rise to Power ===&lt;br /&gt;
Siddiq Hasan Khan took up a job as an archivist and state historian in 1859 under [[Shah Jahan Begum of Bhopal|Shah Jahan]], who at the time was notable as a woman in the [[Bhopal State|Kingdom of Bhopal]] who was heir apparent to the throne.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; For the first time in his life, Khan was financially well-off and brought his sister and mother to live with him in [[Bhopal]]. Khan married for the first time in 1860, to the daughter of the prime minister who was eleven years his senior. Siddiq Hasan Khan eventually married Begum on suggestion of his father-in-law (father of his first wife). Upon Shah Jahan&#039;s coronation in 1871, Khan was promoted to the position of chief secretary, began spending longer periods of time alone with Shah Jahan and the two were eventually married; with his second marriage, Khan had become the male consort of the female monarch.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jamal71&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;khan122&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;alav6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 6.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Lepel Griffin]], the marriage was in part to quash the rumor mongering, and officials made it clear that Khan was merely the Sultan&#039;s husband and would not function in any executive role.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;M. Khan, p. 125.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The marriage was controversial due to Indian beliefs regarding the remarriage of widows; ironically, the stated justification for support of the marriage by British officials – themselves predominantly Christians – was that [[Islam]] encourages widows to remarry. Despite remaining the spouse of the actual monarch, Khan&#039;s wife began to observe &#039;&#039;[[purdah]]&#039;&#039; and corresponded with male diplomats with Khan as her representative.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Shāh Jahān Bēgum&#039;s daughter Sulṭān Jahān Bēgum was one of her stepfather&#039;s fiercest opponents, often labelling him as a &amp;quot;Wahhabi&amp;quot;; for forcing her mother to be in &#039;&#039;purdah&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Krawietz, Tamer 2013 183&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|editor1-last=Krawietz|editor1-first=birgit|editor2-last=Tamer|editor2-first=Georges|title=Islamic Theology, Philosophy and Law: Debating Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya|publisher=Walter De Gruyter|year=2013|isbn=978-3-11-028534-5|location=Berlin|page=183|chapter=Screening Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khān&#039;s Library: The Use of Ḥanbalī Literature in 19th-Century Bhopal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Khan&#039;s mother-in-law held rather negative reviews of her daughter&#039;s new husband, and there was friction between the two families.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Implementation of Reforms ===&lt;br /&gt;
Once in power, Siddiq Hasan Khan began enforcing his reformist ideas through the authority of the state. Under his wife&#039;s reign, the doctrines of the &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith]]&#039;&#039; began to be enforced as the [[state religion]]. Various royal ceremonies and folk rituals which Khan regarded as &#039;&#039;[[Bidʻah|bid&#039;at]]&#039;&#039; (religious innovations) were banned. Apart from this, a comprehensive religious educational programme was also implemented by the [[Bhopal State]]. Numerous &#039;&#039;[[madrasa]]hs&#039;&#039; teaching &#039;&#039;Ahl-i Hadith&#039;&#039; doctrines were set up, hundreds of religious treatises of Khan were published and mass distributed across South Asia through the state-run printing press.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Daly Metcalf|first=Barbara|title=Islamic Revival in British India: Deoband, 1860–1900|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1982|isbn=9780195660494|location=Princeton, New Jersey|pages=293}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|editor1-last=Krawietz|editor1-first=birgit|editor2-last=Tamer|editor2-first=Georges|title=Islamic Theology, Philosophy and Law: Debating Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya|publisher=Walter De Gruyter|year=2013|isbn=978-3-11-028534-5|location=Berlin|page=167|chapter=Screening Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khān&#039;s Library: The Use of Ḥanbalī Literature in 19th-Century Bhopal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of Yemeni Islamic scholars in Bhopal, Khan also attacked [[folk Islam]] as well as the practices of both [[Sufism]] and [[Shia Islam|Shi&#039;a Islam]]. As the de facto ruler of Bhopal, Khan banned [[Mawlid|celebrations]] for the Islamic [[Prophets in Islam|prophet]] [[Muhammad]]&#039;s birthday (&#039;&#039;[[Mawlid]]&#039;&#039;) as heretical practices without basis in Islam, something which upset Sufis greatly. Additionally, his [[Islah|reformist]] ideas in regard to [[Fiqh|Islamic jurisprudence]] upset the predominant [[Hanafi]] [[Madhhab|school]] of [[Islamic law]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jamal763&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Malik, p. 76.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Khan&#039;s humble beginnings and working-class background also caused him to become the object of scorn, condescension yet also jealousy on the part of Bhopal&#039;s gentry.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Khan, p. 127.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Khan was still described as a prototypical [[Indo-Persian culture|Indo-Persian]] gentleman, multilingual, educated and with wide-reaching international ties.&amp;lt;ref name=alav5&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 5.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khan&#039;s socio-political efforts proved to be his undoing; just as quickly as he rose to become Bhopal&#039;s most influential [[Islamic leadership|Islamic leader]], so did he lose this status. Siddiq Hasan&#039;s enemies in [[Bhopal State]] and other Muslim religious circles had often accused him of being a &amp;quot;[[Wahhabism#Etymology|Wahhabi]]&amp;quot;, a label commonly employed by the colonial authorities to denote &amp;quot;[[Anti-British sentiment|anti-British]]&amp;quot; rebels, &amp;quot;fanatic&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;puritan&amp;quot; etc.; with the intention to eradicate his influence in [[Bhopal]]. Initially, the British ignored accusations of his Muslim opponents that Khan was a proponent of &amp;quot;[[Wahhabism#Etymology|Wahhabism]]&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Wahhabi&amp;quot; label was detested within both the [[British Empire|British]] and [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] Empires due to the political challenge posed by the Arabian reformer [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Muwahideen|Muwahhidun]]&#039;&#039; movement to the dominance of the two states in the Middle East. Later, the British authorities began to inspect Siddiq Hasan&#039;s books closely and discovered his treatises which elaborated his doctrines on &#039;&#039;[[Jihad]]&#039;&#039;. Furthermore, when they detected that 17 [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi]] scholars from [[Najd]] had come to study in Bhopal under Khan&#039;s tutelage, the British suspected him of being part of a [[Pan-Islamism|pan-Islamic]] [[Anti-British sentiment|anti-British]] conspiracy; extending across [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|India]], [[Egypt]], [[Istanbul]], and [[Mahdist State|Mahdist Sudan]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Claudia Preckel p. 31&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Claudia Preckel, [[hdl:1887/16843|Wahhabi or National Hero?

{{See also|British Raj}}&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing Khan&#039;s treatises that incited to &#039;&#039;[[Jihad]]&#039;&#039; and observing several students from [[Arabia]] attend lessons under Khan, the British authorities publicly accused Khan of [[Islamic puritanism|puritanism]] and [[anti-colonial]] agitation in 1881.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jamal723&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Malik, p. 72.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Claudia Preckel p. 31&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The [[British press]] at the time maligned Khan as a negative influence in the region, and pejoratively dubbed him as &amp;quot;the penniless adventurer.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Despite being accused of sedition against the state, [[Governor-General of India]] [[Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava|Lord Dufferin]] found no evidence of seditious acts on Khan&#039;s part at all after official inquiries.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jamal763&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Malik, p. 76.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Khan even went so far as to write criticisms of [[Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab|Muhammad ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab]], who followed an entirely different school of Islamic law, to exonerate himself from the accusations of Wahhabism.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jamal763&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;alav82&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 8.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Deposal and House Arrest (1885–1890) ===&lt;br /&gt;
Wary of Khan&#039;s influential position in the [[Bhopal State]], British [[Resident (title)|Resident]] [[Lepel Griffin|Sir Lepel Griffin]] deposed Khan in 1885; charging him with instigating [[Indian Muslims]] against the [[British Raj|British administration]]. For his part, Siddiq Hasan Khan firmly denied any Wahhabi influence on the Indian reformists. Furthermore, Khan had directly criticised the Najdi Wahhabis for their religious fanaticism, which caused bloodshed among fellow [[Muslims]]. Despite this, the British dismissed all his titles and sentenced him to house-arrest until his death in 1890. He was forbidden to visit his wife [[Shah Jahan Begum of Bhopal|Shāh Jahān Bēgum]] during the day, but was permitted to spend the night in her palace, the Tāj Maḥal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Preckel|first=Claudia|year=2002|title=Wahhabi or National Hero?

After deposing Ṣiddīq Ḥasan, the colonial authorities banned him from maintaining contacts with his publishers in [[Cairo]] or [[Istanbul]], and the publication of his works were proscribed. After the emergence of &#039;&#039;[[Salafi movement|Salafiyya]]&#039;&#039; movement, his Arabic treatises would be published across the [[Arab world]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Krawietz, Tamer 2013 183&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In 1890, Khan fell extremely ill with [[hepatitis]]. [[Resident (title)|Resident]] Francis Henvey, Griffin&#039;s replacement, dispatched a medical officer but refused to administer medicine for fear that, given the terminal nature of Khan&#039;s illness, Henvey would be accused of poisoning him.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;khan141&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Khan died on 20 February 1890.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://umm-ul-qura.org/2015/08/18/biography-of-allamah-nawab-siddiq-hassan-khan/|title=Biography of Allamah Nawab Siddiq Hassan Khan {{!}} Umm-Ul-Qura Publications|access-date=2017-06-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://rekhta.org/ebooks/nawab-siddique-hasan-khan-raziya-hamid-ebooks|title=Nawab Siddique Hasan Khan – {{!}} Rekhta|last=Hamid|first=Razia|date=|website=Rekhta|page=38|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2017-06-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[University of Erfurt]] professor [[Jamal Malik]], the British overthrow of Khan was due to a number of political concerns rather than wrongdoing on Khan&#039;s own part. The start of the [[Mahdist War]] in Sudan in 1881 (which Khan ironically openly opposed), diplomatic ties between Khan&#039;s wife and the [[Sharif of Mecca]] and Khan&#039;s letter exchanges with [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] Sultan [[Abdul Hamid II]] all caused the British authorities to fear a pan-Islamist uprising.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=alav7&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 7.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To withdraw the accusations against Khan, however baseless they were, would have weakened the British Empire&#039;s position in the wider [[Muslim world]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Malik, p. 77.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Eventually, British officials admitted that they had overreacted based on rumors and intrigues among Bhopal&#039;s political elite and that Khan had been falsely accused;&amp;lt;ref name=pre/&amp;gt; regardless, the [[Indian independence movement|Indian nationalist movement]] still regarded him as a hero in the anti-colonialist struggle. Upon Khan&#039;s death, his widow Shah Jahan negotiated with British authorities to have all of his official titles restored posthumously; Shah Jahan saw this as vindication of her belief that her husband had been falsely slandered, and filled her new court with Khan&#039;s relatives and associates.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Khan, p. 142.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Among other details, Siddiq Hasan Khan had accused the Wahhabis of engaging in inter-religious violence and bloodshed and still clinging to the same traditionalist views for which Khan also criticized the Indian [[Sufism|Sufis]] and [[Shia Islam|Shi&#039;ites]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pre&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khan lived during an era when repercussions of the defeat of the &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith#Indian Jihad Movement|Mujahidin]]&#039;&#039; movement of [[Sayyid Ahmad Shahid|Sayyid Ahmad]] at the [[Battle of Balakot]] (1831) were felt widespread across South Asia. Followers of Sayyid Ahmad were being threatened and punished for various practices, such as saying &amp;quot;Ameen&amp;quot; loudly in prayer rituals. As an [[Ulama|Islamic scholar]] who was able to attain a position of high political authority, Khan began facing numerous rivals as well as threats from the British government who accused him of spreading Wahhabi doctrines, which were criminalised. Since Khan was unable to defend [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Muhammad Ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab]] and his doctrines, his main concern was to protect the &#039;&#039;Muwahhidin&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Ahl-i Hadith&#039;&#039;) in India, who were accused of being Wahhabis. He argued that the beliefs of &#039;&#039;Ahl-i Hadith&#039;&#039; of India were based on &#039;&#039;[[Quran|Qur&#039;an]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Sunnah]]&#039;&#039;, and were not derived from Najdi scholars; attempting to distinguish them from the &#039;&#039;Ahl-i Hadith&#039;&#039;. Yet Khan had also rebutted various claims made against Wahhabism, by bringing up Ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab&#039;s responses as well as defenses made by various supporters of the movement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Zarabazo|first=Jamal Al-Din M|title=The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abul-Wahhaab|publisher=The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Dawah and Guidance, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia|year=2005|isbn=9960-29-500-1|location=Riyadh|pages=179–180}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Giving a resume of the life and reform efforts of Muhammad ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab, Khan traced the political rise and subsequent defeat of the &#039;&#039;Muwahhidun&#039;&#039; movement in the [[Arabian Peninsula]] in 1818. Khan asserts that followers of Ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab and [[Syed Ahmad Barelvi|Sayyid Ahmad]] were labelled &amp;quot;Wahhabis&amp;quot; due to ulterior motives of imperial powers. Since the works of the Arabian reformer were not published by the followers of Sayyid Ahmad, labelling them as &amp;quot;Wahhabis&amp;quot; was a policy of religio-political abuse. Khan asserts that the apt term for Sayyid Ahmad&#039;s followers was &#039;&#039;[[Ahl al-Hadith]]&#039;&#039; (followers of the Hadith), since the term was as old as the early eras of [[Islam]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Ahmed |first=Qeyamuddin |author-link=Qeyamuddin Ahmad |title=The Wahhabi Movement in India |publisher=Routledge: Taylor and Francis Group |year=2020 |isbn=978-0-367-51483-9 |location=Abingdon, Oxon |pages=258, 261–262 |chapter=IX: The Concluding Phase of the Movement}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, Khan had based his religious views on the [[Pan-Islamism|Pan-Islamist]] internationalism borne by the networks created by [[Colonialism|colonialists]] themselves. The Wahhabi movement, on the other hand, was geographically specific to the [[anti-colonial]] struggle and cultural environment of the Middle East. Khan elaborated that the Wahhabi movement had no relevance to the situation and experience of reform-minded Muslims in India:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Alavi, p. 9.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;quot;Those who worship one God object to being called Wahhabis in the Ibn Abdul-Wahhab kind of way not only due to his belonging to a different nation and all of its politics, but because they consider God as the ruler and the protector of the whole world and this universalistic stance is blunted if they are said to be followers of a terrotorially rooted Abdul-Wahhab.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By denying any communications with the inhabitants of [[Najd]] and stressing that he did not publish the works of [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Ibn &#039;Abd al-Wahhab]]; Khan sought to publicly delink his Indian followers from the Wahhabi movement and thereby avert the potential repercussions from the [[British Raj|British government]]. However, the British eventually took action against Siddiq Hasan Khan, accusing him of involvement in [[Pan-Islamism|Pan-Islamist]] [[Anti-British sentiment|anti-British]] agitation. This was after the British authorities had discovered various treatises of Khan elucidating his stance on &#039;&#039;[[Jihad]]&#039;&#039; and detected several Najdi scholars under Khan&#039;s tutelage in [[Bhopal State|Bhopal]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last1=Beránek|last2=Ťupek|first1=Ondřej|first2=Pavel|title=The Temptation of Graves in Salafi Islam: Iconoclasm, Destruction and Idolatry|publisher=Edinburgh University Press|year=2018|isbn=978-1-4744-1757-0|location=Edinburgh|pages=90–91|chapter=2: Early Wahhabism and the Beginnings of Modern Salafism|quote=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite his own defense and the efforts of his wife to protect him, Khan was deposed by the British in 1885 and spent the remaining five years of his life living in privacy.&amp;lt;ref name=pre/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann2073&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside politics Khan&#039;s efforts to preserve and revive [[Hadith studies]], focusing on the statements and actions of [[Muhammad]], were well received. Due to his large amount of edited and original published works, he has been dubbed &amp;quot;the Indian [[Al-Suyuti]].&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Muḥammad Isḥāq, &#039;&#039;India&#039;s contribution to the study of Hadith literature&#039;&#039;, p. 175.

He also reconciled Ibn Taymiyya&#039;s thought with what he regarded as authentic [[Sufism|Sufi]] spirituality.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Nizami|first=Khaliq AHmad|title=The Impact of Ibn Taymiyya on South Asia|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26195671|journal=Journal of Islamic Studies|year=1990|publisher=Oxford University Press|volume=1|pages=139–140|doi=10.1093/jis/1.1.120 |jstor=26195671|quote=After Shah Wali Allah, the most powerful advocate of Ibn Taimiyya&#039;s ideology was Nawab Sayyid Muhammad Siddiq Hasan Khan (1832–1890)...|url-access=subscription}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Coupled with the reformist ideas of Yemeni theologian [[Al-Shawkani|Muhammad ibn &#039;Ali Al-Shawkani]], Khan and his &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith|Ahl al-Hadith]]&#039;&#039; movement established similar iconoclastic ideas to the mainstream at the time.&amp;lt;ref name=alav6/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an [[Traditionalist theology (Islam)|Athari]] theologian who embraced their doctrines, Khan strongly condemned &#039;&#039;[[Taqlid]]&#039;&#039; (blind-following) and believed in the literal  interpretation of God&#039;s Attributes as part of upholding &#039;&#039;[[Tawhid]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Rahmatullah 2015 3, 122&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Rahmatullah|title=Contribution of Nawab Siddique Hasan Khan to Quranic and Hadith Studies|publisher=Aligarh Muslim University|year=2015|location=Aligarh, India|pages=3, 122}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|date=June 2014|title=Nawab Siddiq Hasan Khan and His Tafsir Works|url=http://hazaraislamicus.hu.edu.pk/public/uploads/2014/Issue_1/13-nawab-siddique-hasan-khan.pdf|journal=Hazara Islamicus|pages=21–26|via=hazaraislamicus.hu.edu.pk/}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Uzundaģ|first=Sait|date=2014|title=XIX.

Through the publication of his works as well as classical creedal manuscripts across South Asia and the [[Arab world]], Khan considered the spread of Taymiyyan theology as one of the central aspects of his religious programme.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |editor1-last=Krawietz|editor1-first=birgit|editor2-last=Tamer|editor2-first=Georges |title=Islamic Theology, Philosophy and Law: Debating Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya |publisher=Walter De Gruyter |year=2013 |isbn=978-3-11-028534-5 |location=Berlin|pages=501–502 |chapter=Ibn Taymiyya&#039;s Worldview and the Challenge of Modernity}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Ibn Taymiyya, Khan also condemned &#039;&#039;[[Kalam|Kalām]]&#039;&#039; as a discipline &amp;quot;full of speculation&amp;quot; which was introduced by scholars of &amp;quot;[[Greek philosophy]]&amp;quot;. However, Siddiq Hasan Khan downplayed Ibn Taymiyya&#039;s denunciation of [[Ash&#039;ari|Ash&#039;ari school]] and did not follow him on this point.  While the &#039;&#039;Ahl-i Hadith&#039;&#039; favoured the literalist, anti-speculative Atharite approaches, they also considered Ash&#039;aris as part of [[Sunni Islam]] and did not seek to deteriorate relations with the Ash&#039;arite scholarship in the [[Bhopal State]]. In his treatise &#039;&#039;Ḥujaj al-kirāma&#039;&#039;, Ṣiddīq Ḥasan asserts that the core differences between the Ashʿaris and Atharis were limited to three or four points, without naming those issues. According to Khan, these were merely &amp;quot;practical&amp;quot; divergences (&#039;&#039;khilāf-i taṭbīq&#039;&#039;) and &amp;quot;differences in terminology&amp;quot; (&#039;&#039;nizāʿ-yi lafẓī&#039;&#039;); which were of minor importance. At the same time, Khan attacked the foundational premises of both [[logic]] and &#039;&#039;Kalam&#039;&#039; through his treatises like &#039;&#039;Abjad al-ʿulūm&#039;&#039;; basing himself on the works of past scholars like [[Al-Shawkani]], Al-San&#039;ani and Ibn Taymiyya.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|editor1-last=Krawietz|editor1-first=birgit|editor2-last=Tamer|editor2-first=Georges|title=Islamic Theology, Philosophy and Law: Debating Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya|publisher=Walter De Gruyter|year=2013|isbn=978-3-11-028534-5|location=Berlin|pages=195–196|chapter=Screening Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khān&#039;s Library: The Use of Ḥanbalī Literature in 19th-Century Bhopal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Schmidtke 2014 428&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Reformist Vision ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Islah|Pan-Islamism|Islamic fundamentalism}}&lt;br /&gt;
Siddiq Hasan Khan&#039;s writings had a striking tone of pervasive pessimism, a fear of the [[Islamic eschatology#Signs of the end times|End of the World]], which propelled him towards an emotional commitment to herald drastic reforms. He thought that the [[British Raj|English rule]] over [[Muslims]] was a sign of the End Times and viewed rebellions and religious disorder across the [[Muslim world]] as evidence of a total decline. Proposing a solution to revert this decline, Siddiq Hasan Khan envisioned the revival of a unified &#039;&#039;[[Ummah|Umma]]&#039;&#039; welded together by a singular interpretation of the scriptures. For Khan and his disciples, the horror of disorder drove them to establish a true and common standard on which all Muslims could unite. However, this forced exclusivity and vision of drastic reforms created dissension and sparked protest from the rest of the scholarly establishment.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Daly Metcalf|first=Barbara|title=Islamic Revival in British India: Deoband, 1860–1900|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1982|isbn=9780195660494|location=Princeton, New Jersey|pages=269–270}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The theological and intellectual attitudes of Khan and his &#039;&#039;[[Ahl-i Hadith]]&#039;&#039; students were based on their pursuit of doctrinal uniformity through textual literalism and refuting the ideas of all other [[Muslim sects]]. Asserting that [[Pan-Islamism|Islamic unity]] can only be attained through literalist understanding of the Scriptures, Siddiq Hasan Khan writes:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Those who are sincere servants of God and followers of the Tradition shun matters of dissension and disruption in the same way that worldly people shun matters of piety. . . . On the many new roads [i.e. the Law schools] that appeared approximately three hundred years after the hijrah or that day and night are constantly appearing, let no one walk. He who travels the straight path reaches the desired goal.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Daly Metcalf|first=Barbara|title=Islamic Revival in British India: Deoband, 1860–1900|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=1982|isbn=9780195660494|location=Princeton, New Jersey|pages=269–270}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Not surprisingly given the fate of his ideological predecessors, much of Khan&#039;s polemics was based as a reaction against the prevailing religious climate; [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad]], the [[Deobandi]] and [[Barelvi]] movements and the [[Shi&#039;ites]] from which Khan himself was descended were all targets of Khan&#039;s reformist criticism.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ann208&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Khan&#039;s religious views have been described as centering on a desire to return to the pristine values with which [[Islam]] originally came, and to rid the Muslim world of the ills of charlatans, frauds and Hindu influence on Muslim practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;khan148&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Works===&lt;br /&gt;
After his marriage to the Sultan, Khan began publishing his own original works in Arabic, [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Urdu]]; the number of his works eventually topped 200, and many of them were distributed by the state press for free in Bhopal&#039;s schools.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Malik, p. 75.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His polemical and theological works are generally underlain by the principles of self-judgment, reason and rationality.&amp;lt;ref name=alav7/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khan has been noted as one of the first scholars to research the topic of [[lexicography]] of the Arabic language, a field of study which the [[Arabs]] themselves had ignored until recently.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;John A. Haywood, &#039;&#039;Arabic Lexicography&#039;&#039;, p. 1. Leiden: Brill Publishers, 1965.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=con&amp;gt;John A. Haywood, &amp;quot;An Indian Contribution to the Study of Arabic Lexicography.&amp;quot; [[Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society]], October 1956, pp. 165–180.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Khan also made a comprehensive review of Arabic [[philology]] and [[lexicons]] produced up to his time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Haywood, &#039;&#039;Lexicography&#039;&#039;, p. 61.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khan also compiled a &#039;&#039;[[Quran|Qurʾānic]]&#039;&#039; commentary titled &#039;&#039;Fatḥ al-bayān fī maqāṣid al-Qurʾān&#039;&#039;, a seminal work in the field of &#039;&#039;[[Tafsir]]&#039;&#039; which inspired numerous [[Islamic revival]]ist movements. It drew extensively from Yemeni theologian Shawkani&#039;s 1814 work on &#039;&#039;Qur&#039;anic&#039;&#039; exegesis, &#039;&#039;Fatḥ al-qadīr&#039;&#039;. Being written in [[Arabic]], &#039;&#039;Fatḥ al-bayān&#039;&#039; was also widely circulated across the [[Arab world]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Schmidtke 2014 770&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last1=Schmidtke|first1=Sabine|title=The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Theology|last2=Pink|first2=Johanna|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2014|isbn=978-0-19-969670-3|location=New York|page=770|chapter=Striving for a New Exegesis of the Qurʾān}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Prelude ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Battle of Purandar]] concluded with the signing of the [[Battle of Purandar|Treaty of Purandar]] on 11 June 1665. [[Shivaji]] relinquished control of 23 of his forts to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]], and subsequently acknowledged Mughal suzerainty.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kLbwcH7DltYC |title=Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bombay |date=1962 |publisher=The Society |pages=178 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Shivaji, then a Mughal commander was tasked to capture the [[Panhala Fort|fort of Panhala]] and [[Ponda Fort|Phonda]] from the [[Sultanate of Bijapur|Bijapur Sultanate]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Gordon |first=Stewart |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iHK-BhVXOU4C |title=The Marathas 1600-1818 |date=2007-02-01 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-03316-9 |pages=[https://books.google.com.bd/books?redir_esc=y&amp;amp;id=iHK-BhVXOU4C&amp;amp;q=Ponda#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false 74] |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shivaji]] made the decision to initiate the siege of [[Ponda, Goa|Ponda]] fort. The fort was being held by a Bijapuri commander named Muhammad Khan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Ali|1996|p=129}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

When their Van, under Rustam, approached, he beat his drums and sounded his trumpets and thus gave his friend Shivaji timely warning to escape.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masud Siddi charged the retreating Marathas with 600 cavalry, killing 200 of them. While returning back he intercepted Shivaji&#039;s friendly letters to Rustam. The letters were immediately sent to Adil Shah who unwillingly, pardoned Rustam but threatened to dismiss him if he fails to lift the siege of Phonda.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Sarkar|1961|p=235}} &amp;quot;At this Adil Shah wrote to Rustam that though he reluctantly pardoned this act of disloyalty, he would dismiss him unless he raised the siege of Phonda. Rustam then wrote to his agent Muhammad Khan to save Phonda by all means&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Rustam communicated to Muhammad Khan to spare no effort in defending the fort. The [[Portuguese India|Portuguese Viceroy of Goa]] provided ammunition and other assistance to the commander, aligning with the Adil Shahis of [[Bijapur]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Apte |first=Bhalchandra Krishna |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jx48AAAAMAAJ |title=Chhatrapati Shivaji: Coronation Tercentenary Commemoration Volume |date=1975 |publisher=University of Bombay |pages=112 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Ali|1986|p=86}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muhammad Khan carved a plan to attack the Maratha army under Shivaji&#039;s general. Moving down in a town off from Phonda with a small force, Muhammad Khan informed Shivaji&#039;s general that he had come to visit his country. As Shivaji and Rustam were friends, the general did not suspect. The Muslim general began offering prayers on top of the hill. Muhammad Khan ambushed and defeated the unprepared Maratha army, routing their siege-camp and overcoming the returning forces after a fierce battle. Despite the protracted siege, Shivaji failed&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Sarkar|1961|p=235}} &amp;quot;Muhammad Khan could get together only a small force, with which he went and sat down in a town of his master’s about three miles from Phonda, and sent word to the general of Shivaji that he had only come to look after his own country. The general suspected no stratagem, as his master and Rustam were friends. He went with his Muslim soldiery to a hill a mile off in order to say his prayers in public. Muhammad Khan seized this opportunity; he surprised and routed the soldiers left in the siege-camp, and after a long and well contested fight defeated the rest of the Maratha army who had hurried back from the hill.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the protracted siege, Shivaji now failed&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Powell-Price|1955|p=357}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to seize control of the fort&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Ali|1986|p=66}}; {{Harvard citation no brackets|Tamble|1982|p=84}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and ultimately retreated to his territory at Raigarh Fort.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Pagdi|1974|p=|pp=157-158}}; {{Harvard citation no brackets|Mhamai|1984|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=kUZSHKhKJ4gC&amp;amp;pg=PP17&amp;amp;source=gbs_selected_pages&amp;amp;cad=1#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false 5]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The fort&#039;s commandant emerged triumphant in defending the fort and preventing it from falling under Shivaji&#039;s dominion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Ali|1986|p=62}}; {{Harvard citation no brackets|Mhamai|1984|p=[https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=kUZSHKhKJ4gC&amp;amp;pg=PP17&amp;amp;source=gbs_selected_pages&amp;amp;cad=1#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false 5]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Aftermath ==&lt;br /&gt;
After an unsuccessful siege, Shivaji returned to [[Raigad Fort|Raigarh]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvard citation no brackets|Powell-Price|1955|p=357}} &amp;quot;While Shivaji have failed to capture the Bijapur fort of Ponda near Goa and returned to Raigarh&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Rustam also took five towns viz.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Editions ==&lt;br /&gt;
The first edition (&#039;&#039;EI1&#039;&#039;) was modeled on the [[Pauly-Wissowa]] &#039;&#039;[[Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft]]&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;EI1&#039;&#039; was created under the aegis of the [[International Union of Academies]], and coordinated by [[Leiden University]]. It was published by Brill in four volumes plus supplement from 1913 to 1938 in English, German, and French editions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An abridged version was published in 1953 as the &#039;&#039;Shorter Encyclopaedia of Islam&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;SEI&#039;&#039;), covering mainly law and religion. Excerpts of the &#039;&#039;SEI&#039;&#039; have been translated and published in Turkish, Arabic, and Urdu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second edition of &#039;&#039;Encyclopaedia of Islam&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;EI2&#039;&#039;) was begun in 1954 and completed in 2005 (several indexes to be published until 2007); it is published by the Dutch academic publisher Brill and is available in English and French.  Since 1999, (&#039;&#039;EI2&#039;&#039;) has been available in electronic form, in both CD-ROM and web-accessible versions. Besides a great expansion in content, the second edition of &#039;&#039;EI&#039;&#039; differs from the first mainly in incorporating the work of scholars of Muslim and Middle Eastern background among its many hundreds of contributors:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote||text=&#039;&#039;EI1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;SEI&#039;&#039; were produced almost entirely by European scholars, and they represent a specifically European interpretation of Islamic civilization. The point is not that this interpretation is &amp;quot;wrong&amp;quot;, but that the questions addressed in these volumes often differ sharply from those which Muslims have traditionally asked about themselves. &#039;&#039;EI2&#039;&#039; is a somewhat different matter. It began in much the same way as its predecessor, but a growing proportion of the articles now come from scholars of Muslim background. The persons do not represent the traditional learning of [[Qom]] and [[Al-Azhar University|al-Azhar]], to be sure;  they have been trained in Western-style universities, and they share the methodology if not always the cultural values and attitudes of their Western colleagues. Even so, the change in tone is perceptible and significant.|author=R. Stephen Humphreys&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Humphreys&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Publication of the Third Edition of &#039;&#039;EI&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;EI3&#039;&#039;) started in 2007. It is available online, printed &amp;quot;Parts&amp;quot; appearing four times per year. The editorial team consists of twenty &#039;Sectional Editors&#039; and five &#039;Executive Editors&#039; (i.e. editors-in-chief). The Executive Editors are Kate Fleet, Gudrun Krämer ([[Free University, Berlin]]), Everett Rowson (New York University), John Nawas ([[Université catholique de Louvain|Catholic University of Leuven]]), and Denis Matringe (EHESS, CNRS). The scope of &#039;&#039;EI3&#039;&#039; includes comprehensive coverage of Islam in the twentieth century; expansion of geographical focus to include all areas where Islam has been or is a prominent or dominant aspect of society; attention to Muslim minorities all over the world; and full attention to social science as well as humanistic perspectives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.brill.nl/default.aspx?partid=18&amp;amp;pid=24186 |title=Encyclopaedia of Islam Three |publisher=[[Brill Publishers]] |access-date=2008-04-02 |archive-date=2008-04-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080403030602/http://www.brill.nl/default.aspx?partid=18&amp;amp;pid=24186 |url-status=live }} Serial. {{ISSN|1873-9830}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.brill.nl/uploadedFiles/EI3preview.pdf |title=IE3 Preview |date=Spring 2007 |publisher=[[Brill Publishers]] |access-date=2008-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411154128/http://www.brill.nl/uploadedFiles/EI3preview.pdf |archive-date=April 11, 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = The story is set in Gulaabganj, a fictional town where government-licensed opium is grown. The vast majority of opium flow is controlled by two rival gangs, led by Ganchi and Nabeed. Gangaram, a local student, witnesses Babu Tiger, the right-hand man of Ganchi, being murdered by a hired killer named Four-Cut Aatmaram. Ganchi strikes a deal with Sukanto to deliver a large quantity of opium by the end of the month. Tipu, Babu&#039;s son, is a mechanic who is disgusted by Babu&#039;s criminal ways. He rejects Ganchi&#039;s offer to join his gang. Tipu wants to impress his crush Chandralekha (&amp;quot;Lekha&amp;quot;), an English teacher at the school, by writing her a letter in English expressing his feelings. Since he cannot speak English, he hires Gangaram and his friends Nannu and Ikhlaq to write the letter. When Gangaram finds out that the letter is for Lekha, he sabotages it as he also has a crush on her. Lekha is outraged by the contents of the letter and berates Tipu. A new Narcotics officer, Arjun, arrives in Gulaabganj. The corrupt policeman Mishra explains to him the opium smuggling system and asks him to join in, but Arjun refuses. At home, Arjun hides a mysterious call from his wife Madhu and daughter Jyotsna (&amp;quot;Jo&amp;quot;). Two thugs working for Aatmaram come to Tipu&#039;s workshop to get their motorbike fixed but end up harassing him over his father&#039;s death (which was ordered by Nabeed). Already heartbroken by Lekha&#039;s rejection and driven into a fit of rage, Tipu murders them both with a spanner.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Tipu and his friend Suneel get rid of one body but the other is found by Aatmaram&#039;s men. Arjun meets with Yamini, the mysterious caller, who blackmails him over some compromising photographs. After an altercation with middleman Dheeraj, Arjun manages to intercept the photos from reaching Madhu. Ganchi, who has never delivered such a large quantity of opium, meets with Arjun to bribe him, but Arjun remains steadfast. Tipu finds out that Gangaram sabotaged his letter and gets Nannu to write him a new letter. When he gives this new letter to Lekha, she acknowledges his feelings for her, but doesn&#039;t want to marry him as he is too simple and not ambitious enough. However, she is impressed that he killed two men with his bare hands, which makes Tipu uncomfortable. Arjun learns that all the large-scale opium farmers of the area work with the two gangs, and only small farmers work with the government. He calls his blackmailer Pratap, a disgraced IAS officer who is in jail due to Arjun&#039;s investigation, to set up a meeting. At home, Ganchi falls through a newly-constructed staircase and severely injures himself. Aatmaram and his men corner Tipu and Suneel; Tipu manages to escape but not before Aatmaram kills Suneel in front of his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Ganchi is in the ICU and in a coma; Ganchi&#039;s son Jugnu and his men attempt to keep this news under wraps. However, Aatmaram finds out and reports it to Nabeed. Seizing this opportunity, Nabeed starts raiding the farmers who supply to Ganchi. Tipu, distraught over Suneel&#039;s death, decides to leave town as he feels insignificant, but he changes his mind after seeing Aatmaram and realising that he is driven by a need to avenge Suneel. He joins the Ganchi gang and is assigned to protect Ganchi at the ICU. Arjun meets with Pratap, who outlines his plan to destroy Arjun&#039;s life and career the same way Arjun destroyed his. Arjun meets with Yamini, who admits she has feelings for him, to try and acquire negatives of the photos, but she refuses as she is loyal to Pratap. Gangaram, Nannu, and Ikhlaq draw an obscene sketch of Jo on a town wall after she constantly embarrasses them in class. Under pressure from Sukanto, Jugnu decides to rob the government farmers to generate additional opium. As news of Ganchi&#039;s coma spreads, the gang loses influence in the area. While trying to find out how the news leaked, Jugnu accidentally kills the ICU doctor. His fellow gang members congratulate him on his first murder, but he is disgusted and vomits at the sight of what he has done.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Jugnu visits his friend Nirmal (implied to be a former lover), still shaken at having committed a murder. Jugnu wants to roll back the days to their time in college but Nirmal is reticent as he is now married. Mishra advises Jugnu to back out of the deal with Sukanto, but Jugnu brushes him off. Mishra then sets up a meeting between Sukanto and Nabeed as he does not believe Jugnu can deliver the opium. Jo, being harassed at school due to Gangaram&#039;s sketch, bonds with Nannu, not knowing he too was involved in the sketch. Developing feelings for her, decides to wash off the sketch. Meanwhile, Lekha is impressed by Tipu&#039;s newfound power as a Ganchi gang member. Jugnu and his men crash the Sukanto-Nabeel meeting. Sukanto suggests the two gangs work together as neither can deliver the opium individually, but both Jugnu and Nabeed refuse. Sukanto then threatens Jugnu with dire consequences should he fail to deliver the opium by the end of the month. Tipu and Bunty go to Sherpur (the neighbouring town that is Nabeed&#039;s base) to look for Aatmaram but instead are chased by Aatmaram&#039;s gang; they escape to Gulaabganj by the skin of their teeth. Arjun begins raiding the farms of both Ganchi and Nabeed farmers; unbeknownst to his team, he doesn&#039;t log the crops he has seized. Arjun then meets with Sukanto and promises to deliver the entire quantity of opium to him, as he controls the entire opium flow in the area. At the ICU, Tipu witnesses Ganchi wake up from his coma.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Arjun meets with Pratap and agrees to pay him a hefty amount of money to stop his blackmailing. At the ICU, the doctors inform Jugnu that Ganchi is recovering but it will take time for him to be fully cognizant. Jugnu is desperate to complete the deal prior to Ganchi fully waking up in order to prove himself to his father. He meets with Arjun to try and strike a deal with him, but Arjun once again refuses. Arjun&#039;s assistant Ramprasad begins to get suspicious of his boss after he finds out that Arjun isn&#039;t logging the crops seized in various raids. Despite bonding over an ice cream date with Tipu, Lekha asks him to keep their relationship a secret, which irks Tipu. Nannu and Jo grow closer after Jo realises that Nannu is the one who cleaned up the sketch; however this leads to conflict between Nannu and Gangaram. When Gangaram outs Nannu&#039;s involvement in the sketch, Jo refuses to talk to either of them. Jugnu&#039;s men begin raiding the government farmers; one of those farmers is Lekha&#039;s father who stands to lose his government licence. When Tipu finds out about this, he requests Jugnu to let go a small amount of opium so that Lekha&#039;s father can keep his farm, but Jugnu refuses and chides Tipu for mixing work and love. Meanwhile, Nabeed orders Aatmaram to kill Ganchi, leading to an attack on the ICU. In the resulting shootout, Tipu sneaks up on Aatmaram and shoots him through the pants, not injuring the hitman, but scaring him enough that he and his men retreat from the ICU.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Arjun recruits Ramprasad to his cause after explaining his philosophy that stealing from thieves is not a crime. Arjun finalises the date of the opium delivery with Sukanto but he is spotted by Tipu and Bunty. Jugnu finds out that Ganchi was ready to name Nabeed as his heir after failing to conceive a male child (until Jugnu came along); Jugnu wonders why Ganchi would not allow one of his daughters to run the business. Jugnu then meets with Nabeed to try to work together on the opium delivery but Nabeed only insults him. Tipu finds out that Arjun is storing unreported opium from the raids in a government processing factory. He plans to rob the factory to recover a small amount of opium for Lekha&#039;s father, but is easily caught. However, Arjun is moved by his story of love and decides to let him go. Arjun meets Yamini to tell her that he does not regret his actions and he will never see her again. Mishra informs Arjun that he knows what game the narcotics officer is playing and threatens him. After finding out that Gangaram is a neglected child of a drunkard single father, Lekha meets with him to encourage him to focus on studying. He apologises for acting out and reconciles with his friends. Aatmaram vows to kill Tipu with his own hands. When Tipu finds out about Jugnu&#039;s meeting with Nabeed, he assumes the two gangsters are working together. Upset that his boss would join forces with the man he holds responsible for Suneel&#039;s death, he and Bunty resolve to teach Jugnu a lesson.&lt;br /&gt;

 |ShortSummary = Arjun makes a deal with Mishra to move the opium to a warehouse in exchange for 50% of the profits; separately he asks Tipu to steal the opium from the warehouse and deliver it to Sukanto in the woods, in exchange for clearing Lekha&#039;s father&#039;s name. Aatmaram, tired of Nabeed&#039;s insults, kills him in his house. After leaving, he&#039;s hired by middleman Dheeraj (now left out of the Pratap-Arjun deal) to kidnap Jo. Nannu writes a rap song for Jo and begins reciting it to her, but they are both kidnapped by Aatmaram&#039;s men. Jugnu finds out about the relocation of the opium and arrives at the warehouse to take control. After a brief shootout, Jugnu kills Mishra but finds that the opium is missing; unknown to him, Nirmal is killed by a stray bullet. Tipu delivers the opium to the designated location but when Sukanto arrives there, he finds nothing. Meanwhile, Aatmaram tells Arjun to deliver the opium to him in order to free his daughter. Arjun steals the opium truck from the woods moments before Sukanto arrives. Enraged over Nirmal&#039;s death, Jugnu instigates a shootout with Sukanto&#039;s gang; he is the only survivor. Gangaram and Lekha arrive at Aatmaram&#039;s hideout to rescue Jo and Nannu but are captured by the hitman&#039;s goons. In the resulting chaos, Aatmaram is accidentally run over by Tipu, driving a van, seemingly killing him. Arjun arrives with the opium and rescues the children, killing Dheeraj in the process. Aatmaram revives and attacks Tipu, slicing him three times, but Tipu manages to shoot him with his father&#039;s gun before he can make the fourth cut. On the way to the hospital, Tipu seemingly dies in Lekha&#039;s arms after giving her the receipt that clears her father&#039;s name. Yamini gives Arjun the photo negatives, but implores him to do the right thing for Madhu, not just for his own guilt. He calls Pratap to tell him that their deal is off, and decides to return all the opium to the government. Aatmaram, left for dead, reaches for his knife. Jugnu arrives at the ICU dressed as a woman; after concluding that she can never be the son that her father wants her to be, she takes Ganchi off the ventilator and kills him. She resolves to do things her way going forward.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Indian name|Subbaiah Naidu|Subburayulu Munuswami}}&#039;&#039;&#039;Subburayulu Munuswami Subbaiah Naidu&#039;&#039;&#039; (a.k.a. &#039;&#039;&#039;SMS&#039;&#039;&#039;) (15 March 1914&amp;amp;nbsp;– 26 May 1979) was an Indian composer, conductor, and orchestrator. He was one of the oldest music directors. He worked as an in-house music composer for [[Central Studios]] and [[Pakshiraja Studios]] and well associated with [[S. M. Sriramulu Naidu]]. SMS also worked with many films under [[Jupiter Pictures]] banner and a favorite of [[M. G. Ramachandran]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
He was born on 15 March 1914 into a [[Balija]] family in [[Kadayanallur]] (now a [[Municipality]] in [[Tenkasi district]], [[Tamil Nadu]]). Having had an unhappy childhood, he ran away from home with dreams of finding his fortune in [[Singapore]], but ended up working in drama troupes such as those of Jagannatha Aiyer and Nawab Rajamanickam Pillai. Finding himself drawn more to music than acting, SMS learned music from masters such as Rajagopala Iyengar and Subramaniya Bagavathar. When the company&#039;s play &#039;&#039;Baktha Ramadas&#039;&#039; was made into a movie, SMS worked on the music for the movie as well.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=https://newdhool.blogspot.com/search/label/S.M.%20Subbiah%20Naidu | title= மலர்ந்தும் மலராதவை # 20 | author=Saravanan Natarajan | work=Dhool | date=3 February 2018 | access-date=30 October 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career life==&lt;br /&gt;
He is fondly known as &amp;quot;Sangeethayya&amp;quot; in the south Indian film industries. He somehow had never changed his trend of composing much from the beginning days. He is well versed in the Indian music but never showed interest in Western tunes and music.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SMS worked jointly with other composers on a few movies in the early 1940s. He then composed music for the first movie in which MGR played the hero [[Rajakumaari]] in 1947. All through the 1950s, SMS continued to compose memorable songs in the movies that came his way. Films such as [[Ezhai Padum Padu]] (1950), [[Kanchana (1952 film)|Kanchana]] (1952) and [[Malaikkallan]] (1954) helped him to consolidate his place among the front-ranking composers of the decade. There were also [[Thirumanam]], [[Maragadham]], [[Nadodi Mannan]] and the magnificent classic [[Konjum Salangai]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he was composing music for [[Rajakumaari]] at Central Studious, SMS made the acquaintance of the hero MGR. This laid the basis for a lifelong friendship between the two, which was further strengthened during the making of [[Marmayogi (1951 film)|Marma Yogi]] and [[Malaikkallan]]. When MGR turned producer and director with [[Nadodi Mannan]], he invited SMS to compose the songs, along with N.S. Balakrishnan who had composed 2 songs. Later, when the fortunes of SMS were on the decline in the 1960s, MGR secured for his friend a few opportunities such as [[Thaayin Madiyil]], [[Aasai Mugam]] and [[Thalaivan (1970 film)|Thalaivan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=https://newdhool.blogspot.com/search/label/S.M.%20Subbiah%20Naidu | title= மலர்ந்தும் மலராதவை # 20 | author=Saravanan Natarajan | work=Dhool | date=3 February 2018 | access-date=30 October 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the 1960s progressed, SMS engaged in a few projects towards the end of the 1960s such as [[Naam Moovar]], [[Raja Veetu Pillai]], [[Uyir Mel Aasai]], [[Sabash Thambi]], [[Panakkara Pillai]], Naalum Therindhavan, [[Chakkaram]] and [[Mannippu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1970s, opportunities were few and far between Snegithi, Vairakiyam, [[Therottam]] and [[Thanga Gopuram]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His contribution is invaluable. Not only he is a composer, but also very good conductor, orchestrator, and what not. He is considered as [[O. P. Nayyar]] of South India. His tunes were very catchy and his songs instant hits. He has made [[J. P. Chandrababu]] a great singer in the song &#039;&#039;Kunguma Poove Konjum Puraave&#039;&#039;. He would leave no stone unturned to bring the best of his singers. Till date, the best of [[S. Janaki]] is &#039;&#039;Singaara Velane Deva&#039;&#039; which was composed by him. He innovated the concept of voice with [[Nadaswaram]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He worked with singers like [[C. S. Jayaraman]], [[T. M. Soundararajan]], [[Ghantasala (musician)|Ghantalasa]], [[A. M. Rajah]], [[Thiruchi Loganathan]], [[Seerkazhi Govindarajan]], V. N. Sundharam, T. A. Mothi, [[P. B. Sreenivas]], [[S. C. Krishnan]], [[A. L. Raghavan]], [[M. L. Vasanthakumari]], [[P. A. Periyanayaki]], [[P. Leela]], [[Jikki]], [[P. Susheela]], [[T. V. Rathnam]], K. V. Janaki, [[A. P. Komala]], [[K. Jamuna Rani]], [[Radha Jayalakshmi]], [[Soolamangalam Sisters|Soolamangalam Rajalakshmi]], S. Janaki and [[L. R. Eswari]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The singing actors [[P. U. Chinnappa]], [[Honnappa Bhagavathar|C. Honnappa Bhagavathar]], [[N. C. Vasanthakokilam]], [[U. R. Jeevarathinam]], [[T. R. Rajakumari]], [[K. R. Ramasamy (actor)|K. R. Ramasamy]], [[V. Nagayya]], [[N. S. Krishnan]], [[T. A. Madhuram]], [[P. Bhanumathi]], [[S. Varalakshmi]] and [[J. P. Chandrababu]] also sang memorable songs under his compositions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*In 1947, SMS was the first music composer in [[Tamil film industry]] who had introduced playback singing for &#039;&#039;[[Rajakumari (1947 film)|Rajakumari]]&#039;&#039;. [[Thiruchi Loganathan]] sang &amp;quot;Kasinimel Nangal&amp;quot;, a playback song for [[M. N. Nambiar]]. It is notable that it is [[MGR]]&#039;s first movie as a hero.&lt;br /&gt;
*In 1948 under SMS&#039;s composition, [[Kannadasan]] wrote his first song &amp;quot;Kalangathiru Manamey Un Kanavellan Nanavagum Oru Dinamey&amp;quot; for &#039;&#039;Kanniyin Kathali&#039;&#039; sung by [[K. V. Janaki]]. The film was released in 1949.&lt;br /&gt;
* His all-purpose assistant, [[M. S. Viswanathan]] at Jupiter Pictures later became the musician of Tamil films. As his assistant, [[M. S. Viswanathan]] practised composing tunes when SMS was not around.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/04/16/stories/2004041601730600.htm |title=The Hindu : Musical sojourn with MSV |website=www.hindu.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040830022906/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/04/16/stories/2004041601730600.htm |archive-date=30 August 2004 |url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When [[MGR]] was the [[Chief Minister]] of Tamil Nadu, [[M. S. Viswanathan]] had organised a programme to honour his &amp;quot;master&amp;quot; SMS. SMS was a very close friend of [[MGR]].&lt;br /&gt;
*He featured in a role as a doctor in [[Malaikkallan]] that won the [[National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil]].&lt;br /&gt;
* He had composed a few songs for [[Thirudadhe]] and was working on setting the tune for a duet when producer AL. Srinivasan made him listen to a song &#039;&#039;En Aruge Nee Irundhaal&#039;&#039; sung by P. B. Sreenivas &amp;amp; P. Susheela. The song had been composed by [[Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy]] for an earlier project and had remained unused. AL. Srinivasan suggested that the song be included in the movie. Seeing that it was by his protégé [[M. S. Viswanathan]], SMS readily agreed, and thus the song featured with the credit once again going to SMS.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=https://newdhool.blogspot.com/search/label/S.M.%20Subbiah%20Naidu | title= மலர்ந்தும் மலராதவை # 20 | author=Saravanan Natarajan | work=Dhool | date=3 February 2018 | access-date=30 October 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* M. S. Viswanathan and Kannadasan, who have acknowledged many a time the crucial role played by SMS in shaping their career, organized a grand function to celebrate the 60th birthday of the master composer. In the function graced by MGR and Sivaji Ganesan, a cash award was presented to SMS as a token of his contribution to Tamil cinema.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | url=https://newdhool.blogspot.com/search/label/S.M.%20Subbiah%20Naidu | title= மலர்ந்தும் மலராதவை # 20 | author=Saravanan Natarajan | work=Dhool | date=3 February 2018 | access-date=30 October 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* M. S. Viswanathan brought the childless SMS and his wife to his house and attended to their every need with solicitude until each of their end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Salvi are found in the states of [[Gujarat]] and [[Rajasthan]] in [[India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=National Handloom Day {{!}} The handloom communities of India|url=https://www.thestatesman.com/india/handloom-communities-india-1502670307.html|date=2018-08-07|website=The Statesman|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History and origin==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Salvi trace their origin from the word Sal, which means a loom. They are said to have migrated from [[Gujarat]] to [[Malwa]] in the Middle Ages. The community is traditionally associated with the art of weaving. They speak Mewari among themselves.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal  &amp;amp; N.N Vyas pages 859 to 861 Popular Prakashan&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While in [[Gujarat]], the  Salvi who are also known as the Patliwala or Patua, claim to have been brought from [[Maharashtra]] in the 11th Century by the [[Rajput]] rulers to [[Patan, Gujarat|Patan]]. They have been traditionally associated with silk weaving.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;People of India Gujarat Volume XXI  Part  Three edited by R.B Lal, P.B.S.V Padmanabham, G Krishnan &amp;amp; M Azeez Mohideen pages 1232-1235&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=The &#039;Fashioning&#039; Of &#039;Gujarati Patola Saree&#039; – A Priceless Heirloom {{!}} #KhabarLive Hyderabad {{!}} Breaking News, Hyderabad News, Telangana News, Andhra Pradesh News, Business, Analysis|url=http://www.hydnews.net/the-making-of-gujarati-patola-saree-a-priceless-heirloom/|last=Haseeb|first=Ahssanuddin|date=23 March 2019 |language=en-GB|access-date=2020-05-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As per the census of India, 1921 approximately 6.88 laks sale or salve people were living in Madras, Rajasthan, Hyderabad and Bombay provinces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Present circumstances==&lt;br /&gt;
The community speak [[Mewari]] among themselves and [[Hindi]] with outsiders. They have two sub-divisions, the Marwari Salvi and Mewara Salvi, which are further sub-divided into smaller clans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the decline in there traditional occupation of weaving, they are now mainly a community of landless agricultural labourers. A small number are still involved with weaving, and make thick cotton clothes and turban.  The Salvi are a [] community, their family goddess is juses&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal  &amp;amp; N.N Vyas pages 859 to 861 Popular Prakashan&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Salvi of are split into two distinct groupings, the [[Jain]] Salvi and the Vaishnav [[Hindu]]. Each of these groups restrict their marriages within their respective religious groups. They have exogamous clans such as the Sanghvi, Tapadia, Kapadia, Dhara and Rawalia. These clans regulate the matrimonial alliances. The Salvi consider themselves of [[Vaishya]] status. Most of  Salvis have abandoned their traditional occupation and are now engaged in a number of trades. As small number continue with their traditional occupation which is silk weaving. The Salvi speak languages&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;People of India Volume XXI  Part  Three edited by R.B Lal, P.B.S.V Padmanabham, G Krishnan &amp;amp; M Azeez Mohideen pages 1232-1235&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Thennilavu is set in a holiday cottage in [[Kodaikanal|Kodiakanal]] following four couples&#039; honeymoon routine. The four couples include a couple who always plan to murder the other, a couple who are stopped getting closer by their family members, a couple who suffers from Sleepwalking and an old couple who recently got remarried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The show begins with Ram and Revathy going for their honeymoon with a hired vehicle and the driver. The driver gives unwanted glances at Revathy who informs Ram, but Ram dismisses it. It is soon revealed that the driver has been set by Ram to kill Revathy so he can unite with his wealthy girlfriend. Unbeknowest to Ram, Revathy too has an ex, with whom she plans to kill Ram and together they can elope. They stay in a room in the resort. &lt;br /&gt;
Next is Suresh aka Suchu and Vino, a brahmin couple. Suchu is innocent and a cowards, while Vino is the complete opposite. Vino has an illness of somanabulism and dresses up as a Malayali and beats Suchu every night, but the next morning she forgets it. Suchu thus distances himself from her, and this causes Vino to feel sad. They rent another room next to Ram&#039;s. &lt;br /&gt;
Next comes Kalyan and Meena. Surprisingly, they come in busload of their family members for their honeymoon, which also includes Kalyan&#039;s asthma grandfather. Both family members don&#039;t get along well with the couples sisters fighting frequently and their respective husbands, Tirupathi and Alex, fighting but unite on several occasions to drink. &lt;br /&gt;
A while later, an elderly couple who got recently married, Mr and Mrs Rajashekar arrive. &lt;br /&gt;
Ram and Revathy attempt to kill each other. Vino&#039;s night tantrums continue, which causes Suchu to call his sister-in-law, Vino&#039;s sister for advice, which Vino learns and causes friction. The large group of families almost cause issues everyday and every night, preventing Kalyan and Meena from having some privacy. &lt;br /&gt;
One morning, Suchu finds the driver dead on the resorts doorstep. Rajashekar is revealed to be a retired police and leads and investigation. The group is held for a few days and they all live to go by their lifestyle in Chennai. &lt;br /&gt;
When the driver&#039;s body from Kodaikanal mortuary goes missing, everyone is called back again. At this point, Meena and Kalyan are separated by their families. In the end, the driver&#039;s mysterious murder is uncovered revealing that his twin brother killed him. Kalyan and Meena run away causing their families to realise their mistakes and all unite. Vino and Suchu unite after Vino&#039;s treatment. Ram and Revathy realise they love each other and unite. Rajashekar calls all of them to his house for lunch and everything happens here and he puts senses into each individual. Agalya (Ram&#039;s girlfriend) and Revathy&#039;s boyfriend realise their mistake, and the two end up together.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Arwal subdivision&#039;&#039;&#039; is an administrative subdivision in [[Arwal district]], in the Indian state of [[Bihar]], with its headquarters at the town of [[Arwal]]. The subdivision is coterminous with Arwal district (the district comprises a single subdivision) and contains the district headquarters and the district&#039;s rural and urban settlements. The subdivision covers an area of 634.23&amp;amp;nbsp;km² and had a total population of 700,843 at the [[2011 census of India|2011 Census of India]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://arwal.nic.in/demography/ |title=Demography – Arwal district |publisher=District Administration Arwal |access-date=29 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/251/download/654/DH_2011_1038_PART_B_DCHB_ARWAL.pdf |title=District Census Handbook: Arwal (Part B) |publisher=Registrar General &amp;amp; Census Commissioner, India |access-date=29 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Geography==&lt;br /&gt;
Arwal subdivision lies in south-western Bihar on the plains adjoining the Son (Sone) River basin. The subdivision is primarily flat alluvial plain with fertile soils derived from recent alluvium. The Son River and its tributaries influence the drainage of the subdivision; parts of the district adjoining the Son are low-lying and prone to seasonal flooding during the monsoon. Groundwater resources, aquifer characteristics and district-level [[hydrogeology]] have been studied and documented by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) for the Arwal area. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.cgwb.gov.in/old_website/District_Profile/Bihar/Arwal.pdf |title=Arwal — District Ground Water Brochure |publisher=Central Ground Water Board |access-date=29 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Administration==&lt;br /&gt;
Arwal district contains a single subdivision, Arwal. The subdivision is divided administratively into five Community Development (CD) blocks: Arwal, Kaler, Karpi, Kurtha and Sonbhadra Banshi Suryapur. The town of Arwal is the subdivision (and district) headquarters. The district administration provides block-level listings and contact details on its official portal. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://arwal.nic.in/subdivision-blocks/ |title=Subdivision &amp;amp; Blocks – Arwal district |publisher=District Administration Arwal |access-date=29 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://arwal.nic.in/contact-directory/ |title=Contact Directory – Arwal district |publisher=District Administration Arwal |access-date=29 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As per the 2011 Census (District Census Handbook and related PCA tables), the subdivision (equivalently the district) had a total population of 700,843 (363,497 males and 337,346 females).

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Shadow puppetry from Odisha, India}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rabana Chhaya, Odisha (Ravana Chhaya) 01.jpg|thumb|386x386px|Ravana tries to kidnap Sita]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rabana Chhaya&#039;&#039;&#039; is a form of [[shadow puppetry]] from the [[East India|eastern Indian]] state of [[Odisha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Rabana Chhaya&#039;&#039; literally means &#039;the shadow of [[Ravana]]&#039; and is named after the eponymous evil king of the [[Hindu]] epic [[Ramayana]]. The lyrics for the performance are taken from the Bichitra Ramayana by the [[Odia literature|Odia poet]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Biswanatha Khuntia&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google_b&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Williams|first=Joanna Gottfried|title=The Two-headed Deer: Illustrations of the Rāmāyaṇa in Orissa|year=1996|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley|pages=39–40|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=22wCxbKAdmkC&amp;amp;pg=PA39|isbn=9780520080652}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sangeetnatak&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Ravana Chhaya|url=http://sangeetnatak.gov.in/publication/ravan%20chhaya.htm|publisher=Sangeet Natak Akademi|accessdate=16 January 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; That it has been named after the villain of the Ramayana. Alternately it has been suggested that it was not named after Rama as he is an incarnation of the god [[Vishnu]] and it would have been inauspicious to refer to him as a shadow.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Law|first=Jonathan|title=The Methuen Drama Dictionary of the Theatre|year=2011|publisher=Bloomsbury Methuen|location=London|page=415|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Tb-OAQAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA415|isbn=9781408131480}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Puppets==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sita, wife of Rama, Ravana Chhaya, Orissa, India - Museu do Oriente - Lisbon, Portugal - DSC06719.JPG|thumb|right|Sita, wife of Rama, Rabana Chhaya]][[Puppet]]s used in Rabana Chhaya are made of [[deerskin]], range from 6 inches to 2 feet in height and are mounted on [[bamboo]] poles. A complete performance requires as many as 700 puppets with multiple puppets being used to depict a diversity of moods for individual characters. Besides these puppets, there are others that set the background and the stock characters of the village barber and his grandson.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sangeetnatak&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The puppets are not coloured, have no joints and have perforations that outline their figures and costumes. The puppeteer manipulates the puppets using a split bamboo stick that runs down the middle of the puppet. The puppeteers magnify the shadows by holding the puppets away from the screen.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google_a&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Ghosh|first=Sampa|title=Indian Puppets|year=2006|publisher=Abhinav Publications|location=New Delhi|pages=72–72|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iy6_TtXCZjMC&amp;amp;pg=PA473|isbn=9788170174356}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;angul&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=RAVAN CHHAYA|url=http://angul.nic.in/ravanchhaya.htm|accessdate=16 January 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These puppets are treated ceremonially, being blessed before they are first used and are cremated and the ashes strewn in a river when they become worn out and unusable.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Another feature of the puppets is that the puppet form of Rabana is much larger than that of Rama with greater dramatic impact and casts an impressive shadow on the screen.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Kapoorv|first=Subodh|title=Indian Encyclopaedia, Volume 1|year=2002|publisher=Cosmo Publications|location=Delhi|page=5860|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SDh2WjvLo7gC&amp;amp;pg=PA5860|isbn=9788177552577}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Performances ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Odissi Classical Music sidebar}}Rabana Chhaya performances are held at night, the shadow of the puppets being projected onto a white curtain against the light of an oil lamp. The performance begins with the breaking of a [[coconut]] and with invocations to the [[Hindu gods]] [[Rama]] and [[Ganesha]]. The story of the performance is narrated in prose by a narrator, called gayak, who is accompanied by two singers. The performers traditionally belong to the &#039;&#039;Bhata&#039;&#039; community and the singing is accompanied by musical instruments including {{Transliteration|or|ramatali}} ([[castanets]]), {{Transliteration|or|kabuji}} ([[cymbals]]) and the {{Transliteration|or|[[khanjani]]}}, a kind of tambourine.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google_a&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;angul&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The dialogues and the songs in the performance are accompanied by lively, rhythmic music that combines elements of folk and classical  [[Odissi music]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Stanton|first=Sarah|title=The Cambridge Paperback Guide to Theatre|year=1996|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|page=305|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ubr35UeE-UQC&amp;amp;pg=PA305|isbn=9780521446549}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Performances have little by way of dance or fight sequences, the action being limited by the jointless nature of the puppets, but the dramatic effect is elevated by the use of poetic language, music and the religious themes narrated.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;angul&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Brandon|first=James R.|title=The Cambridge Guide to Asian Theatre|year=1993|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|page=107|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ttnH5W9qoBAC&amp;amp;pg=PA107|isbn=9780521588225}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A full performance takes an entire week with a night each for each of the seven &#039;&#039;kandas&#039;&#039; of the Ramayana but in recent years performances have been shortened to only a few hours duration.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google_b&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;2024 Lonavala waterfall tragedy&#039;&#039;&#039; occurred on June 30, 2024, when five people, including four children, were swept away by sudden flooding near a [[waterfall]] close to [[Bhushi Dam]] in [[Lonavala]], [[Maharashtra]], [[India]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=5 from a Pune family drown in Lonavala waterfall |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/five-feared-drowned-waterfall-lonavalas-bhushi-dam-9424280/ |newspaper=Indian Express |date=2 July 2024 |access-date=3 July 2024 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Lonavala waterfall mishap: Family of 5, including 2 minors die by drowning in Bhushi Dam.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Tragedy==&lt;br /&gt;
On the day of the incident, 16–17 family members from Sayyad Nagar in [[Pune]]’s [[Hadapsar]] area were having a [[picnic]] near the waterfall. The group trekked about 2 km up the hilly area adjacent to the Bhushi Dam.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Watch: Waterfall trip turns tragic as 5 picnickers drown in Pune’s Bhushi Dam near Lonavala|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/waterfall-trip-turns-tragic-as-5-drown-near-lonavala-dam/articleshow/111387136.cms |newspaper=Times of India |date=1 July 2024 |access-date=3 July 2024 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to intense rainfall, the water level rose suddenly, catching the picnickers off guard. Ten people were swept away by the strong currents, but five were rescued by nearby villagers and official rescuers.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:8&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=One Of Two Children Found After Drowning In Waterfall In Maharashtra&#039;s Pune During Picnic |url=https://news.abplive.com/news/india/one-of-two-children-found-after-drowning-in-waterfall-in-maharashtras-pune-during-picnic-1609308 |newspaper=ABP Live |date=1 July 2024 |access-date=4 July 2024 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Response and safety measures==&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, the Pune district administration imposed prohibitory orders at several popular picnic spots, including Bhushi Dam and the Pavana Dam, to ensure the safety of tourists. These orders were effective from July 2 to July 31, 2024.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Lonavala waterfall tragedy: Prohibitory orders imposed at picnic spots in Pune|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/maharashtra/lonavala-waterfall-tragedy-prohibitory-orders-imposed-at-picnic-spots-in-pune-3090561 |newspaper=Deccan Herald |date=3 July 2024 |access-date=3 July 2024 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=After Lonavala waterfall tragedy, Pune administration comes up with safety measures for tourists|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/lonavala-waterfall-tragedy-pune-administration-issues-guidelines-for-tourists/cid/2030927 |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=2 July 2024 |access-date=4 July 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additional safety measures include the deployment of [[Lifeguard|lifeguards]], installation of warning signs, and strict monitoring of visitor activities in hazardous areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Public reaction==&lt;br /&gt;
The tragedy led to widespread grief and raised concerns about the safety of popular [[Tourist attraction|tourist destinations]] in the region. Locals and [[Tourism in Maharashtra|tourists]] alike called for better safety infrastructure and more stringent regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Tragic waterfall mishap at Lonawala raises concerns about safety|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/maharashtra/tragic-waterfall-mishap-at-lonawala-raises-concerns-about-safety-3087806 |newspaper=Deccan Herald |date=1 July 2024 |access-date=3 July 2024 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The incident also prompted discussions on [[social media]] about the responsibility of tourists to heed safety warnings and the need for authorities to enforce safety protocols more rigorously.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Noamundi&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[census town]] in [[West Singhbhum district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]]. It is also an administrative block. It is a mining town located close to the [[Odisha]] border. It lies near [[Jamshedpur]] and {{convert|64|km|0|abbr=on}} from [[Chaibasa]]. Nearby towns include Padapahar, [[Barajamda]], [[jagannathpur-Parulia|jagannathpur]], [[Kharsawan]], [[Gua, Jharkhand|Gua]] and [[Kiriburu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
The major produce of this mine is [[iron ore]] (including blue dust). The mines are run by the [[Tata Steel]] and most of the residents of this town are employed by this company. In the recent past a lot of private mine-owners have also set up shop in and around the town. A [[Pelletizing]] Plant of [[Tata Steel]] to convert blue dust to pellets, suitable for use in blast furnace functioned here from 1972 to 1986 but was closed down because it was not economically viable . The town is the right on the border of Jharkhand and [[Odisha]] with some of the iron-mines spanning the two states. The portion of iron mining area of Noamundi in the state of [[Odisha]] is called Katamati.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Legend has it that when the first iron ore explorers came to this region, they were amazed to find the local tribal population ([[Adivasis]]) using iron axes. When the explorers asked the tribals where they had found the ore, they pointed to a hill nearby and called it Noamundi, which literally means &#039;that hill&#039; in their language. The native tribal are known as [[Ho people]] and their language is also known by the same name, [[Ho language|Ho]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In spite of the commodity boom across the world over the last couple of years and the consequent effect of this on the area around Noamundi, the trickle down effect of this boom on the local Adivasi population has been negligible. [[Illegal mining]] thrives and is the rule rather than the exception. The result is the increased popularity of the Naxalite movement in this area and in greater Jharkhand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Geography==&lt;br /&gt;
Noamundi is located at {{Coord|22.15|N|85.53|E|}}.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/38/Noamundi.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Noamundi]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It has an average elevation of 487&amp;amp;nbsp;metres (1597&amp;amp;nbsp;feet).&lt;br /&gt;
Noamundi is located in the heart of [[Saranda forest]], which is the densest deciduous forest of Asia. &#039;Saranda&#039; in the local tribal language means &#039;The land of 700 hills&#039;. The administrative boundary of the Saranda reserve forest, however, lie a few kilometres away.&lt;br /&gt;
Along with dense [[forest cover]] Noamundi, is highly resourceful region. The place is rich in iron ore hematite and Indian multinations like TATA STEEL operate in this region. Apart from forest cover and mining belt, Noamundi has a diversified population, inside the TATA STEEL township people for various regions of India can be found, apart from that being the border of orissa and jharkhand, two most resourceful states of India cultural flavor of both the states can be seen here. With the scenic view of forest cover and hills of saranda forest this region is developing fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Demographics==&lt;br /&gt;
{{As of|2011}} India [[census]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&amp;amp;state5=999|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&amp;amp;state5=999|archivedate=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns  (Provisional)|accessdate=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Noamundi had a population of 126,994.
