'''Telugu Americans''' ({{langx|te|అమెరికా తెలుగువారు|Amerikā Teluguvāru}}) are citizens of the [[United States of America]] who belong to the [[Telugu people|Telugu]] ethnolinguistic group. The majority of Telugu Americans can trace their roots back to the [[Indian States|Indian states]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]], but also from other neighboring states including [[Karnataka]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Odisha]], [[Maharashtra]], among others. Telugu Americans are not counted as a distinct group in the [[United States census|United States Census]], so population estimates are based on the number of Telugu-language speakers reported.

== Immigration to United States ==
Historically, majority of the Telugu immigrants to the United States during the 20th century hailed from the [[Coastal Andhra|Krishna and Godavari delta]] regions of Andhra Pradesh. Later, during the early 21st century, they primarily came from all major cities of the undivided Andhra Pradesh, and from 2014 onwards, they have been immigrating from all rural and urban areas of both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The rise in the Telugu American population is attributed to the increasing representation of [[South Indian diaspora]] in the technological field, especially following the [[Y2K bug|Y2K incident]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bhattacharya|first=Ananya|title=America's fastest growing foreign language is from south India|url=https://qz.com/india/1399825/telugu-is-uss-fastest-growing-foreign-language/|access-date=2020-08-17|website=Quartz India|date=24 September 2018 |language=en}}</ref> In fact, the Brookings Institution Report revealed that the Telugu states sent over 26,000 students between 2008 and 2012, with most pursuing degrees in [[STEM]] fields.

==Dispersion==
Telugu people constitute one of the largest groups of [[Indian Americans]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Telugu|first=Reality Check team and BBC|date=2018-10-21|title=Do you speak Telugu? Welcome to America|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-45902204|access-date=2020-09-18}}</ref> The majority of Telugu Americans live in metropolitan areas with significant economic importance in STEM fields. These areas include the [[San Francisco Bay Area|Bay Area]], the [[Texas Triangle]], [[Delaware Valley]], [[Chicago metropolitan area|Chicagoland]], [[Central jersey|Central Jersey]], [[Northern Virginia]], as well as the [[Seattle metropolitan area|Seattle]] and [[Baltimore metropolitan area|Baltimore]] metropolitan areas. Smaller, but significant populations of Telugu Americans exist throughout the country in other metropolitan and micropolitan areas of almost every state.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Avadhuta|first=Mahesh|date=2017-12-14|title=Telugu language scores big in the US|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/141217/telugu-language-scores-big-in-us.html|access-date=2020-09-18|website=Deccan Chronicle|language=en}}</ref> These include [[Greater Boston]], [[Kansas City metropolitan area|Kansas City]], [[Metro Detroit]], [[Greater Cleveland]], and [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]].

== Religion ==
The predominant faith among Telugu Americans is [[Hinduism]], with a significant number also identifying as [[Telugu Christians|Christians]], and a smaller portion as [[Muslims]].

==Language==
{{Americans}}
A recent study by the American Center for Immigration Studies showed Telugu as the fastest growing language in United States, which has grown by 86% in the last seven years.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Bhattacharya|first=Ananya|title=America's fastest growing foreign language is from south India|url=https://qz.com/india/1399825/telugu-is-uss-fastest-growing-foreign-language/|access-date=2020-09-18|newspaper=Quartz|language=en}}</ref>

During the [[2020 United States elections]], the [[Telugu language]] was first listed on voter registration and ballot boxes in select locales.<ref>{{Cite web|title=US Presidential Election 2020: Telugu Appears On Ballot Boxes In California|url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/us-presidential-election-2020-telugu-appears-on-ballot-boxes-in-california-5993321.html|access-date=2020-12-08|website=Moneycontrol}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-10-21|title=Voter ballot papers in the U.S elections offered in Telugu and Urdu|url=https://www.siasat.com/voter-ballot-papers-in-the-u-s-elections-offered-in-telugu-and-urdu-2004351/|access-date=2020-12-08|website=The Siasat Daily|language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Social issues ==
Telugu Americans have suffered from hate crimes in America. The most notable of these incidents was the [[2017 Olathe, Kansas shooting]], in which a white supremacist, Adam Purinton, harassed two Telugu immigrants, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, under the pretense that they were Iranians and or illegal immigrants. Purinton proceeded to shoot them, killing Kuchibhotla and wounding Madasani, as well as Ian Grillot, a White American who had come to their defense.

Aishwarya Thatikonda, a Telugu immigrant from Hyderabad and a Dallas resident, was a victim of the [[2023 Allen, Texas outlet mall shooting]].

'''Politics in West Bengal''' is dominated by the following major political parties: the [[All India Trinamool Congress]], the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and the [[Indian National Congress]]. For many decades, the state has been undergoing gruesome and terrible [[political violence]].<ref>{{cite news |title = Murder, most foul – the people of Bengal created the darkness that envelops them |url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1081005/jsp/opinion/story_9927371.jsp |work = [[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]] |last = Mukherjee |first = Rudrangshu |accessdate = 4 March 2012 |date = 5 October 2008 |location = Kolkata |url-status = dead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120118211018/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1081005/jsp/opinion/story_9927371.jsp |archivedate = 18 January 2012 |df = dmy-all }}</ref> Since the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election]], it has been governed by the Trinamool Congress. Previously, it was ruled by [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] led by the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] for over three decades.

==Government==
[[West Bengal]] is governed through a [[parliamentary system]] of [[representative democracy]], a feature the state shares with other Indian states. [[Universal suffrage]] is granted to residents. There are two branches of government. The legislature, the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]], consists of elected members and special office bearers such as the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, who are elected by the members. Assembly meetings are presided over by the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker in the Speaker's absence. The [[judiciary]] is composed of the [[Calcutta High Court]] and a system of lower courts. [[Executive (government)|Executive authority]] is vested in the Council of Ministers headed by the [[Chief Minister of West Bengal|Chief Minister]] although the titular head of government is the [[Governor of West Bengal|Governor]]. The Governor is the [[head of state]] appointed by the [[President of India]]. The leader of the party or coalition with a majority in the Legislative Assembly is appointed as the Chief Minister by the Governor, and the Council of Ministers are appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister. The Council of Ministers reports to the Legislative Assembly. The Assembly is [[unicameral]] with 294 [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Members of the Legislative Assembly]], or MLAs,.<ref name=294mla>{{cite web |url = http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/States%5Cwestbengal%5Cwesbengal-w.htm |title = West Bengal legislative assembly |accessdate = 28 October 2006 |work = Legislative bodies in India |publisher = National Informatics Centre, India |url-status = dead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20160313022603/http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/states/westbengal/wesbengal-w.htm |archivedate = 13 March 2016 |df = dmy-all }}</ref> Terms of office run for five years, unless the Assembly is dissolved prior to the completion of the term.

== History ==
The area's early history featured a succession of [[List of Indian monarchs|Indian empires]], internal squabbling, and a tussle between [[Hinduism]] and [[Buddhism]] for dominance. Ancient Bengal was the site of several major [[Janapada]]s (kingdoms), while the earliest cities date back to the [[Vedic period]]. The region was part of several ancient pan-Indian empires, including the [[Mauryans]] and [[Gupta Empire|Guptas]]. It was also a bastion of regional kingdoms. The citadel of [[Gauda (city)|Gauda]] served as the capital of the [[Gauda Kingdom]], the Buddhist [[Pala Empire]] (eighth to 11th century) and [[Hindu]] [[Sena Empire]] (11th–12th century). From the 13th{{nbsp}}century onward, the region was ruled by several [[Sultanate of Bengal|sultans]], powerful [[Hindu Rashtra|Hindu states]], and [[Baro-Bhuyan]] landlords, until the beginning of [[British Raj|British rule]] in the 18th{{nbsp}}century. The [[British East India Company]] cemented their hold on the region following the [[Battle of Plassey]] in 1757, and Calcutta served for many years as the capital of [[British India]]. The early and prolonged exposure to British administration resulted in an expansion of Western education, culminating in developments in science, institutional education, and social reforms in the region, including what became known as the [[Bengali Renaissance]]. A hotbed of the [[Indian independence movement]] through the early 20th{{nbsp}}century, Bengal [[1947 Partition of Bengal|was divided]] during India's independence in 1947 along religious lines into two separate entities: West Bengal, a state of India, and [[East Bengal]], a province of [[Pakistan]] which later became independent [[Bangladesh]].

==First Indian National Congress rule (1947–1962)==

===Princely state merge with West Bengal===
In 1950, the Princely State of [[Koch dynasty|Koch Bihar]] merged with West Bengal after King Jagaddipendra Narayan had signed the Instrument of Accession with India.<ref>Dr. Sailen Debnath, ed. Social and Political Tensions In North Bengal since 1947, {{ISBN|81-86860-23-1}}.</ref> In 1955, the former [[French India|French enclave]] of [[Chandannagar]], which had passed into Indian control after 1950, was integrated into West Bengal. Portions (the then Manbhum) of [[Bihar]] were subsequently merged with West Bengal and now this region serves as the district of Purulia. {{Citation needed|date=June 2011}}

During [[Bidhan Chandra Roy]]'s Chief Minister-ship a number of manufacturing industries were set up in the state. He had a dream of developing West Bengal into one of the greatest regions of India. Bidhan Roy is often considered 'The Maker of Modern West Bengal' due to his key role in the founding of several institutions and five eminent cities in the state: [[Durgapur]], [[Kalyani, West Bengal|Kalyani]], [[Bidhannagar]], Ashokenagar and [[Habra]]. Even after being the [[Chief Minister of West Bengal]], Dr. B. C. Roy used to treat patients and never gave up his profession of a doctor. In 1954, a massive food crisis overtook the state.

==United Front (1967–1969)==
{{see also|United Front (1967)}}

After the state legislative elections held in 1967, the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPI(M)]] was the main force behind the [[United Front (1967)|United Front]] government formed. The post of Chief Minister was given to [[Ajoy Mukherjee]] of the [[Bangla Congress]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, Former Chairman, BOG (14.07.1967 - 31.03.1968 & 27.03.1969 - 21.07.1974) |url=https://iimc-archives.iimcal.ac.in/items/show/32 |access-date=2025-08-27 |website=iimc-archives.iimcal.ac.in |language=en}}</ref>

===1969 Assembly election===
Fresh [[1969 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|elections were held in West Bengal in 1969]]. CPI(M) emerged as the largest party in the West Bengal legislative assembly.<ref>Indian National Congress had won 55 seats, Bangla Congress 33 and CPI 30. CPI(M) allies also won several seats.[http://www.eci.gov.in/StatisticalReports/SE_1969/StatReport_WB_69.pdf ECI: Statistical Report on the 1969 West Bengal Legislative Election] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071129141351/http://www.eci.gov.in/StatisticalReports/SE_1969/StatReport_WB_69.pdf|date=29 November 2007}}</ref> But with the active support of CPI and the Bangla Congress, Ajoy Mukherjee was returned as Chief Minister of the state. Mukherjee resigned on March 16, 1970 and the state was put under President's Rule.

===Naxalbari uprising===
{{main|Naxalite}}
In 1967 a peasant uprising broke out in [[Naxalbari]], in northern West Bengal. The insurgency was led by hardline district-level CPI(M) leaders [[Charu Majumdar]] and [[Kanu Sanyal]]. The Naxalbari movement was violently repressed by the West Bengal government. During the 1970s and 1980s, severe power shortages, strikes and a violent [[Naxalite|Marxist-Naxalite]] movement damaged much of the state's infrastructure, leading to a period of economic stagnation.

The [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] of 1971 resulted in the influx of millions of refugees to West Bengal, causing significant strains on its infrastructure.<ref name="londonanthology">{{Harv|Bennett|Hindle|1996|pp=63–70}}</ref> The government was credited for handling the refugee crisis fairly well by the International media. The [[1974 smallpox epidemic of India|1974 smallpox epidemic]] killed thousands of people at this time.

==Second Indian National Congress rule (1972–1977)==
Indian National Congress won the 1972 assembly election, and its leader [[Siddhartha Shankar Ray]] became the chief minister. He wanted to erase every single [[Naxal]] from West Bengal but his and his government's actions backfired, creating state-wide outrage against him and the then West Bengal Government. During this period, the then Prime Minister of India, [[Indira Gandhi]] proclaimed nationwide [[The Emergency (India)|Emergency in 1975]].

This period was marked by large scale violence as the police force battled with the Naxalites in the state of West Bengal.

==Left Front rule (1977–2011)==

West Bengal politics underwent a major change when the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]], headed by [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], won the [[1977 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election]] with 231 seats, thereby gaining a majority and reducing the Indian National Congress to a mere 20 seats. The first Left Front government was established with [[Jyoti Basu]] as the Chief Minister. The state saw rapid developments in this period, with the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Land Reforms]] and the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Panchayat System]] being two of the many notable ones. In this time, the state had become one of the leaders in agricultural output, being the [[Economy of West Bengal|leading producer of rice and the second leading producer of potatoes]]. The Left Front [[34 years of Left Front led Government in West Bengal|governed the state for the subsequent three and a half decades.]]<ref name="longcommu">{{cite news |last=Biswas |first=Soutik |date=2006-04-16 |title=Calcutta's colourless campaign |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4909832.stm |access-date=2006-08-26 |publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref>

The Naxalite movement was crushed during this time.

===Major incidents===

====1979 Marichjhanpi Massacre====
{{main|Marichjhapi incident}}
The massacre in [[Marichjhanpi]], which took place under CPI(M) rule in Bengal between January 26 and May 16, 1979, relates to the eviction of refugees from the reserved island of Marichjhanpi, Sunderbans, who had fled from [[East Pakistan]] thereby leading to the death of a sizable population among them.<ref name="haunt" />

{{blockquote|Out of the 14,388 families who deserted [for West Bengal], 10,260 families returned to their previous places … and the remaining 4,128 families perished in transit, died of starvation, exhaustion, and many were killed in Kashipur, Kumirmari, and Marichjhapi by police firings (Biswas 1982, 19).<ref>{{cite web|last=Ross |first=Mallick|title=The Morichjhanpi massacre: When tigers became citizens, refugees "tiger-food"|url=http://sanhati.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/marichjhapi.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://insightyv.com/?p=879|title=Remembering Marichjhapi Massacre, 1979|work=insightyv.com|accessdate=16 May 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090707120303/http://insightyv.com/?p=879|archivedate=7 July 2009|df=dmy-all}}</ref>}}

After leading the Left Front government for consecutive five terms, Jyoti Basu retired from active politics and [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee]] was appointed as his successor. [[2001 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election|In 2001]], the Left Front came back to the power with Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee again assuming the office of the Chief Minister.<ref name=haunt>{{cite news|last=Bhattacharya |first=Snigdhendu |title=Ghost of Marichjhapi returns to haunt |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/specials/Coverage/Assembly-Elections-2011/Ghost-of-Marichjhapi-returns-to-haunt/AssemblyElections2011-DontMiss/SP-Article10-689463.aspx |accessdate=5 August 2013 |newspaper=The Hindustan Times |date=25 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610222045/http://www.hindustantimes.com/specials/Coverage/Assembly-Elections-2011/Ghost-of-Marichjhapi-returns-to-haunt/AssemblyElections2011-DontMiss/SP-Article10-689463.aspx |archivedate=10 June 2015 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

====Singur Tata Nano controversy====
{{main|Singur Tata Nano controversy}}
The [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee]] government wanted to set up a [[Tata Nano]] factory in [[Singur]], [[Hooghly district|Hooghly]].[[Tata Motors]] started constructing a factory to manufacture a car, [[Tata Nano]] which was estimated to cost $2,500. The small cars were scheduled to roll out of the factory by 2008. [[Singur]] was chosen by the [[Tata Motors]] among six sites offered by the West Bengal state government. The project faced massive opposition from displaced farmers. The unwilling farmers were given political support by West Bengal's then-opposition leader [[Mamata Banerjee]]. Banerjee's "Save Farmland" movement was supported by civil rights and human rights groups, legal bodies, and social activists like [[Medha Patkar]], Anuradha Talwar, [[Arundhati Roy]] and [[Magsaysay]] and [[Jnanpith Award]]-winning author [[Mahasweta Devi]]. Leftist activists also shared the platform with Banerjee's Trinamool Congress. The Tatas finally decided to move out of Singur on 3 October 2008. On 7 October 2008, the Tatas announced that they would be setting up the Tata Nano plant in [[Sanand]] in [[Gujarat]] after [[Ratan Tata]] received a call from the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, [[Narendra Modi]].

====Nandigram violence====
{{main|Nandigram violence}}
The [[Nandigram violence]] was an incident in [[Nandigram]], [[West Bengal]] where, under the orders of the Left Front government, more than 4,000 heavily armed police stormed the Nandigram area with the aim of stamping out protests against the West Bengal government's plans to expropriate {{convert|10000|acre|km2}} of land for a [[Special Economic Zone]] (SEZ) to be developed by the Indonesian-based Salim Group. The area of Nandigram had turned into an internal-security threat for the country.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Terrorism and Rising Security Concerns in West Bengal {{!}} IPCS|url=http://www.ipcs.org/comm_select.php?articleNo=2778|access-date=2021-11-25|website=www.ipcs.org}}</ref> The [[All India Trinamool Congress|Trinamool Congress]], collaborating with the [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)|Maoists]], had isolated the entire area from the rest of the country, by cutting up all the roads and blocking them by tree trunks. Weapons were being collected and stored for an armed rebellion.<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=December 24, 2009 |title=2007-Nandigram violence: A state of failure|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/20091228-2007-nandigram-violence-a-state-of-failure-741632-2009-12-24|access-date=2021-11-25|magazine=India Today|language=en}}</ref> The villagers were brainwashed against the Government and the progressive scheme. However, the shootings, in recent developments have proved to be a conspiracy of the [[All India Trinamool Congress|TMC]] and [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)|Maoists]] alike. Indeed the police had to resort to firing when the armed mob refused to disperse even after much persuasion and tear gassing and started attacking the police. The then Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya was awarded a clean-chit for non-involvement in the Nandigram violence by the CBI.<ref>{{Cite web|title=CBI clean chit to Buddha govt on Nandigram firing|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/|access-date=2021-11-25|website=The Times of India}}</ref> The police shot 13 villagers dead and one died from a very suspicious knife-attack, thus sparking controversies whether the police were, in the least, the ones to fire. At least 30 police officers were injured in the incident.

The SEZ controversy started when the government of West Bengal decided that the [[Salim Group]] of Indonesia<ref>For more information on the Salim Group please see [[Sudono Salim]]</ref><ref>[http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/97/0822/biz1.html Asia Week]</ref><ref>[http://www.saliltripathi.com/articlesReview/8Oct98Review.html Far Easter Economic Review October 1998]</ref> would set up a [[Chemical industry|chemical hub]] under the SEZ policy at Nandigram, a rural area in the district of [[Midnapore East|Purba Medinipur]]. The villagers took over the administration of the area and all the roads to the villages were cut off.

==All India Trinamool Congress rule (2011–2026)==
In the [[2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election]], the Left Front was defeated by the [[All India Trinamool Congress]] which won an [[absolute majority]] of seats. This led to the end of 34 year [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] rule in [[West Bengal]]. [[Mamata Banerjee]], the leader of Trinamool Congress, became the chief minister. The success of the Trinamool Congress was repeated in the [[2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election]]. In [[2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election]], TMC government was re-elected but BJP became second largest party with 77 seats.

Shankar was born as Sarvapunya in Sellur slum at [[Madurai]], Tamil Nadu. At the age of fourteen, they started volunteering [[Ramakrishna Mission]]. Later they were accepted as a probationer for being a monk at [[Ramakrishna Math]]. In 2005, Shankar was given spiritual initiation under the spiritual lineage of [[Swami Vivekananda]] by Swami Gitanandaji (Former Vice-president of Ramakrishna Math and Mission) who is also a disciple of [[Swami Virajananda]]. During Shankar's tenure in Ramakrishna Math, Shankar served as the assistant to the editor of ''[[Sri Ramakrishna Vijayam]]'' Magazine. They were also mentored by [[Pravrajika Bhaktiprana]] and Pravrajika Ramaprana the sanyasinis of Sri Sarada Math.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gaysifamily.com/2017/10/30/conversation-gopi-shankar-madurai-intersex-activist-changing-lives-gender-politics-india/ |title=In Conversation With Gopi Shankar Madurai, The Intersex Activist Who Is Changing Lives And Gender Politics In India |publisher=[[Gaysi]] |date=2017-10-30 |access-date=2018-01-17 |archive-date=26 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926123224/http://gaysifamily.com/2017/10/30/conversation-gopi-shankar-madurai-intersex-activist-changing-lives-gender-politics-india/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In April 2010 Shankar left Ramakrishna Math to pursue Religion, Philosophy, and Sociology studies at [[The American College in Madurai]] (affiliated to [[Madurai Kamaraj University]]).

Reticent,"Peddodu" ({{translation|the elder one}}) resigns from his uncle Brahmananda Rao's company, upset over being chastised, while "Chinnodu" ({{translation|the younger one}}) is sharp-witted and flirtatious. Friends and kin presume that Seetha, being Peddodu's [[parallel and cross cousins|cross cousin]], would marry him. Despite being cognizant of her own feelings for him, Seetha is disappointed with the fact that he never addresses her by her name. Ramachandra Prasad, Seetha's paternal uncle, a wealthy individual, despises the financial stature of Relangi Mavayya's family; his daughter Geetha and Chinnodu meet at the wedding of the former's elder sister, and develop feelings for each other.

A distant relative, Kondal Rao and his son Gooduraju envy Relangi Mavayya and his sons' image among everyone. Geetha's elder sister and her in-laws run into Relangi Mavayya and his daughter Chinni in a train and deem her potential to be the wife of a relative, prompting the alliance to be eventually finalized. Ramachandra Prasad humiliates Peddodu during the wedding ceremony, intensifying the tensions between them. Peddodu and Chinnodu go to [[Hyderabad]] with the intent to find employment. Geetha, who has been in the city with her family, summons Chinnodu to a restaurant, concealing her family's presence. Ramachandra Prasad belittles him and his family once again, causing Chinnodu to insult him in front of his family and threatening to beat him up if he insults his family again and furiously walk out. Geetha attempts to cheer Chinnodu up but they stumble upon Peddodu, who is unhappy about their affair and goes home. Geetha's relationship with Chinnodu is thus strained.

Ramachandra Prasad finds a suitor for her but his mother resists and commands him to get Seetha married in the first place. Ramachandra Prasad discourages Relangi Mavayya's interest in getting Seetha married to Peddodu and finds a marriage proposal for her. Nevertheless, the alliance is spoiled. Relangi Mavayya falls prey to a road accident while rescuing a young boy and sustains minor wounds; Brahmananda Rao, the young boy's uncle, apologizes and offers a job to Chinnodu. Elsewhere, Peddodu and Chinnodu's rift widens, owing to unfinished conversations. Relangi Mavayya and his family attend the annual "Kalyanam" of [[Rama]] and [[Sita]] in [[Bhadrachalam]], which is coincidentally attended by Geetha and her family. A [[short circuit]] causes chaos; Peddodu and Chinnodu rescue Geetha's family and other devotees. Praising the brothers, their father reminds them of their love for each other and details the importance of adjusting, brotherhood and family. This transforms their attitude, prompting their reconciliation. Having eavesdropped on their conversation, Ramachandra Prasad reforms. Peddodu addresses Seetha by her name, hinting his love for her and they marry as Geetha's father performs the rituals on Seetha's father's behalf. Chinnodu and Geetha too harmonize. Later, Chinnodu and Peddodu buy bangles for their grandmother, implying that they have found employment.

Raju said in early October 2011 that ''Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'' would be a [[family drama]]; its title focuses on the family system in India, a part of the Indian ideology of one world family.{{Cn needed|date=September 2025}} According to Addala, "Seethamma" stands for the goddess [[Sita]], "Vakitlo" for India and "Sirimalle Chettu" for the Indian family. The mentality of a person who does not smile at a fellow human but preaches the need for change in society and improvement in human relations was the basis of the film's script. The director tells the story of two brothers of different ages who are not expressive, showing them safeguarding their identities but having a deep love and respect for each other.<ref name="theme">{{Cite web |last=Chowdary |first=Y. Sunita |date=20 January 2013 |title=The hit man |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/the-hit-man/article4324302.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150725125227/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/the-hit-man/article4324302.ece |archive-date=25 July 2015 |access-date=25 July 2015 |website=The Hindu}}</ref>

Addala travelled to [[Yanam]] and other places in [[East Godavari district]] to study the mentality and behaviour of the local people.<ref name="theme" /> He noticed that about 80 percent of the families had good fathers, and their sons (who were struggling to find jobs and establish themselves) reconciled easily after small disagreements. Addala decided to convey in the film that life would be easier if small problems can be corrected.<ref name="theme" /> Most of the characters, except Seetha, are drawn from real life; Babu's character represents youth, and Venkatesh and Prakash Raj's characters exemplify an elder brother and a middle-class father.<ref name="theme" />

The movie draws similarities to the 1962 movie [[Gundamma Katha]], such as the appearance of late actors [[Suryakantham]] and [[SV Ranga Rao]], parent figures in both movies, as well as the idea of two brothers marrying two "almost" sisters (parallel cousins and steps-sisters). Seetha and Lakshmi are both humble orphans, while Saroja and Geetha are more spoiled and live with their parent who conflicts with the main family. Peddhodu and Chinnodu reflect the same mature and immature dynamic as Anji and Raja, as well as ending up with their respective heroine. The movies also share an intro, through which a group of pictures of a certain group of characters is shown on a background before the credits.

According to [[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]], "It is very unlikely to point out a single dull moment in this crowd-pleasing, tear-jerking healthy family entertainer that presents a story akin to every household".

Radhika Rajamani of [[Rediff.com|Rediff]] gave the film three out of five stars: "While it cruises along smoothly, delving into relationships within the family, without too many conflicts or twists and turns, one feels an emotional disconnect sometimes because society has changed so much from what is portrayed on screen". She added, "The storyline is realistic, in that it is all about the happenings in a middle class home, but it's more about situations and doesn't develop as a story. So if you want to see a non-violent, family values kind of film, this one is for you. It's just that it seems a little out of date."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rajamani |first=Radhika |date=11 January 2013 |title=Review: Seethamma Vakitlo... looks outdated |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-seethamma-vakitlo-looks-outdated/20130111.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150726052314/http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-seethamma-vakitlo-looks-outdated/20130111.htm |archive-date=26 July 2015 |access-date=26 July 2015 |publisher=Rediff}} {{rating|3|5}}</ref> B.

==History==
Manjampatti derived its name from two [[Tamil language|Tamil]] words, ''manjal'' meaning ''yellow'' and patti meaning "cattle fold" or ''small village''; there is a local opinion that it was so named because of [[endemism|endemic]] wild [[mango]] trees here.

Some groups relying on hunting and gathering partially retained their pre-civilizational lifestyle up to the last century.

The earliest known residents of the area are the Palaiyar (meaning "old ones", incorrectly translated as Paliyan), a Tamil-speaking tribal people, who have been seen in the past 35 years living in small caves in the valley. Historically close extended Palaiyar family groups foraged and hunted at least 128 forest species for subsistence. In the past century, they increasingly depended on shifting cultivation and collection and trading of non timber forest products of over 60 species for: food (14), incense & toiletries (11) medicines (13), construction materials & precious woods (9) and miscellaneous (13) honey, tubers, fruits, herbs, flowers, bark, seeds, fibers, gum, leaves, logs and oils.

Since establishment of the IGWS&NP in 1976, Palaiyar trading was gradually but severely restricted. They are now allowed to collect only tamarind from one small area outside Manjampatti Valley. Their strong cultural ties to the area and traditional avoidance of outsiders keeps them attached to their forest habitat. They must now depend on intermittent plantation labor, primitive low yield cultivation in restricted areas, liaisons with forest product smugglers and poachers, government programs and charity.<ref>"Tribal Development in India: A Case Study", Soundarapandian M., Anmol Publications PVT. LTD., {{ISBN|81-261-0723-5}}, 2001, pp. 135-147.[https://books.google.com/books?id=nMQCgHIZbmoC&dq=tamilnadu+tribes+paliyan&pg=PA111 partial text Tribal Development in India]</ref>

==Communities==
In 2002 there were 401 [[Tribe|tribal]] persons living in three settlements within IGWS&NP boundaries in the valley. This is an average population density of 3.65 persons/km2, 40% higher than the 2.6 persons/km2 living in all 36 tribal settlements in the entire 1769 km2 IGWS&NP.<ref>Sajeev T.K. et al., Management of Forests in India for Biological Diversity and Forest Productivity- A New Perspective WII-USDA Forest Service Collaborative Project Grant No. FG-In-780 (In-FS-120), Volume III Anaimalai Conservation Area (ACA) pp 169 – 190.[http://www.wii.gov.in/download/volume3(ACA).pdf Anaimalai Conservation Area] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070316102346/http://www.wii.gov.in/download/volume3%28ACA%29.pdf |date=16 March 2007 }}</ref> Their peaceful ancient culture in this area is increasingly fragmented as they assimilate modern [[Tamil people|Tamil]] customs and values.<ref>Gardner, Dr. Peter, Bicultural Versatility as a Frontier Adaptation among Paliyan Foragers of South India, 2000 [http://www.mellenpress.com/mellenpress.cfm?bookid=4149&pc=9 Paliyan Foragers of South India]</ref><ref>Gardner, 2000, Excerpts [https://books.google.com/books?id=VSRzAj-b8yAC&dq=%22Peter%2BM%2B%2BGardner%22paliyan&pg=PP15 Excerpts]</ref> The villages have no link roads, no electricity (some solar lamps have been installed recently), no running water, no government school, no medical facilities and no shops.<ref>Aparna Narayanan & Bhaskar Venkateswaran, Trichirapalli Rural and Urban Welfare Development Educational Society (TRUWDES), ''[http://www.ashanet.org/projects-new/documents/879/Manjampatti_School_Site_Visit.doc Site visit] to school for tribal children in Manjampatti village in Kodai Hills run by TRUWDES'', 2007-6-26</ref>

In addition there are three villages within the valley watershed but outside the National Park boundaries: '''[[Mannavanur]]''' pop. 5,927,<ref>OurVillageIndia.org, [http://ourvillageindia.org/Place.aspx?PID=485077 Mannavanur Village] 2007</ref> '''[[Kumbur]]''' pop. 500,<ref>Medhaug</ref> and '''Kilanavayal''' 124 families.<ref>Directorate of Rural Development, Government of TamilNadu [http://bpl.tn.nic.in/TNBPL/bl_rep/bl_scst.php?code=2906009&state=VkVGTlNVd2dUa0ZFVlE9PQ==&district=UkVsT1JFbEhWVXc9&block=UzI5a1lXbHJZVzVoYkE9PQ==Social Group of the Household]{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===Thalinji===
'''Thalinji''' village at {{convert|533|m|ft}}, near the bottom of the valley above the banks of the Ten Ar River, has about 150 houses (pop: m-168, f-155). Most of the people are Pulaiyar caste, early cultivators, but there are some [[Malaimarasar]] tribal people, who do agriculture and coolie work.
[[File:Ancient Ganesha statue at Thalinji.JPG|thumb|200px|Ancient Ganesha statue at site of ruined Kondaiamman Temple]]
This place had some importance in medieval times, as there are mounds with 15th century ruins of a [[Madurai Nayak Dynasty#Vijayanagar Domination.2C 1365|Vijayanagar Dynasty]]<ref name=Ganeshan/> p. 267 [[Kondaiaman]] temple<ref name=topo/> with a substantial temple tank, and numerous scattered stone carvings and broken statues of goddesses such as Kondaiamman and [[Mariamman]] and gods [[Ganesha]], and [[Krishna]], with some text inscriptions. The villagers say they know no history of the temple.

The village is a ward under the [[Manupatti]] [[Panchayati raj in India|Panchayat]] near the Amaraavathi dam, but the people have decided to not elect a representative. They do rely on the Forest Department for many kinds of assistance and advice. When the British created the Amaravathi Reserved Forest they allocated {{convert|200|acre}} to the village for cultivation. This was divided up among families by stone boundary markers, which still exist, but land titles were not given.
[[File:Talinji village houses.JPG|thumb|200px|Talinji houses with solar lighting]]
Thalinji people cultivate rice (monsoon crop) and [[wikt:butter bean|butter beans]] and no other vegetables or crops. They keep a few cows, buffaloes, goats, and chickens. They are allowed to collect minor forest products for their own use, but not to sell. There is a one-room Anti-Poaching Camp used intermittently by forestry staff on their rounds. There is a school with a teacher posted, and a doctor is supposed to come every week but actually comes less than once a month. Men sometimes go out to work in sugarcane fields on the plains, and women go to work in the Manjampatti fields. Thalinji has no store or tea shop. The people do not integrate well in the modern society and economy, though they have accepted [[Photovoltaics|Photovoltaic]] powered home lighting devices from the [[District collector]].

===Manjampatti===
[[File:Manjampatti village.JPG|thumb|200px|Fields and house at Manjampatti village]]
'''Manjampatti''' village at {{convert|730|m|ft}}, near the middle of the valley has 59 households with 191 persons (95 males and 96 females)<ref name="GOI_2001">

It is ethnically more diverse than Talinji. Pulaiyar were the majority inhabitants of Manjampatti when the British gave land to the village for cultivation. About 15 families of Muthuvar, another "tribal" group, live in Manjampatti village where they do cultivation and labor work. Some [[Theivar]] people, a widespread plains agricultural jaathi (caste), came to live in Manjampatti long ago and engage in agriculture on the village lands. There are also a few houses of other plains jaathis such as [[Chakkliyar]] (originally leather-workers). Because of these jaathis, Manjampatti village has some features of plains Tamil villages such as eating of newer types of vegetables and having tea shops.

Manjampatti comes under the [[Mannavanur]] Panchayat and sends its Ward Member up to the monthly meetings. The people receive no benefit from the Panchayat, and prefer to rely on the Forest Department. Manjampatti falls under [[Kodaikanal]] [[Taluk]] office, and the people must travel far to Kodaikanal for official services such as getting a ration card. The ration items (rice, sugar, kerosene) are sent to an agent on the Amaravaathi-Munnar Road ([[State Highway 17 (Tamil Nadu – Kerala, India)|SH 17]]) where the people go to collect them. The village has a small part-time general store selling cooking items and two part-time tea shops. There is a basic primary school of a type designed for tribal people, which is able to provide Transfer Certificates (TC) to students.
[[File:Forest Department Anti-Poaching Camp.JPG|thumb|200px|Forest Department Anti-Poaching Camp]] There is a Forest Department Anti-Poaching Camp with four full-time staff. There is a polling station at the Hydro Matric Survey Building in Manjampatti for all voters from Manjampatti, Muthuvankudi and Mungilpallam (Mannavanur (r.v) Ward-5).<ref>R.Vasuki, I.A.S., District Election Officer & District Collector, 16 July 2008, Dindigul, List of Polling Stations for 127 Palani Assembly Segment within the 22 DINDIGUL Parliamentary Constituency,

The village has a Moopan (headman), assisted by a group of elder men, who organizes activities such as maintaining irrigation channels and resolving disputes, but this position is not recognized in the Panchayat system. The Moopan can be of any [[Caste system in India|caste]], and serves as long as he has the confidence of the people. If someone commits a serious crime, the Moopan will turn the suspect over to the Forest Department, which will arrange for him to be detained by police on the plains.

Manjampatti was given land for cultivation when the Reserved Forest was created and the families have kept their respective fields marked with the original stone boundaries. Villagers earlier practiced [[shifting cultivation]], growing [[millet]]s such as [[Finger millet|raagi]], [[Foxtail millet|thinai]] and [[Pearl millet|kambu]]. Later the Forest Department forbade shifting cultivation and restricted cultivation to the allotted lands. The crops now are rice in rainy season and butter beans otherwise, though with a more diverse population a few vegetables such as eggplant and tomatoes are grown. Farmers here have to protect their crops from wild elephants, gaur, wild boar, deer and sometimes peacocks. A complex and well maintained system of small canals distributes water from the Manalar to irrigate the fields.

'''Muduvankudi''' is a neighboring village inhabited by Muduvar (Muthuvar), and is a 15-minute trek from Manjampatti.

===Mungilpallam===
[[File:Mungilpallam village.JPG|thumb|200px|Mungilpallam village]]'''Mungilpallam''' (Moongilpallam) village at {{convert|1080|m|ft}}, at the headwaters of the TenAr, the third village going up the valley, is a hamlet of just 20 houses of Pulaiyar people (pop: m-22, f-18), on the north side and above the Kumbaar stream. They practice some shifting cultivation on their south facing slope. There is a steep cliff trail from here which leads east to Kumboor village at the end of the road from Kodaikanal.<ref name=Maloney/>

There are 24 [[Muduvan]] and [[Paliyan]] families living there. They were said to have migrated from Manjampatti 200 years ago because of their fear of herds of wild elephants. They originally lived in caves. They eat wild roots, maize, fruits from wild plants, honey and bamboo rice. Their limited income comes from selling bamboo products and lemon grass oil, which they spend to buy rice from other villages. These people are nature worshippers. They do not worship regularly or have a particular place of worship but have a sacred area in their village. They visit this area to celebrate the harvest festival [[Pongal (festival)|Pongal]] and the rain (Mari) festival, during which they sacrifice a goat.

They believe that diseases are manifestations of punishment inflicted by God. Till recently they only took native medicines. A witch doctor from the community was summoned for assessment and further treatment of serious illness. If the witch doctor's said the patient would die, food and medicines were withdrawn and the patient kept in a small hut away other until he or she died. In 2005, more than 50% of the children here suffered from severe chronic malnutrition.<ref>Medhaug Endre, Faculty of Medicine, Trompso, Norway, [http://www.ub.uit.no/munin/bitstream/10037/824/1/student.pdf ''Malnutrition in the Children around Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India''] June 2005, p. 35</ref>
[[File:Mungilpallam School.JPG|thumb|200px|Inside the Mungilpallam school]]
Since 1995, a registered Christian charity "Tribal Education and Medicare Vision" (Team Vision) has assisted the villagers to get identity cards and ration cards from the Revenue Department and Civil Supplies Department. Also, corrugated steel sheets were provided for home roofing. 18 new huts were erected in a new location in 1999. The Forest Department helped the villagers lay stones on the tortuous way to the village. They also erected two solar lamps. A kindergarten school was started and 20 children were enrolled in 1998. In 2005, 9 children from Mungilpallam were attending elementary and secondary school in Kodaikanal.<ref>Lawrence Dr. Bevin G., orphanage.org [http://www.orphanage.org/asia/india/teamvision/ Team Vision Children's Home] 2005-7-29</ref>

==Rivers==
The Manjampatti Valley catchment basin drains into the [[Chinnar River]] from the Athioda Stream and to the Amaravathi River from the Kajadaikatti Odai Ar and Ten Ar Rivers {{convert|2|km|mi}} to the east.
[[File:Athioda Stream.JPG|thumb|200px|Athioda Stream NW of Talinji]]
Athioda is the north to south political and physical boundary for {{convert|1.584|mi|km}} between Tamil Nadu and Kerala between the end of the Pambar River and the top of [[Jambumalai]] peak at the trijunction of Coimbatore and Dindugul Districts and Kerala State. (This peak is locally known as ''Chinna Chambu Malai'').<ref name=Kerala/> The top of the ridge to the west above Athioda is the western limit of the catchment. Thus, the western edge of Manjampatti valley extends up to 2 km into Kerala. Athioda stream joins the Pambar River at the point they both join the Chinnar River at the north west corner of the Valley. West of this point, the Chinnar River forms the boundary between the Indira Gandhi National Park in Tamil Nadu and the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala. East of this point, the Chinnar river becomes the [[Amaravati River]] in Tamil Nadu.
[[File:River Ten Ar at Talinji.jpg|thumb|200px|Ten Ar River at Talinji]]
The Ten Ar River is fed from most of the valley by the Kumbar stream, the Manalaar River ("sand river"), the Kalyanivalasu Odai and other smaller tributaries from the higher forests and sholas to the east. At the northwest end of the valley, the Ten Ar is joined by the Varavandi Odai stream flowing from a smaller adjacent valley to the east and soon joins the Amaravati River {{convert|.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} down stream to the west. The Amaravati River then flows north to the Amaravathi Reservoir and Dam and then to the [[Cauvery River]].<ref name=topo/>

The Kudiraiyar River basin, including [[Kukkal]] village, is just over the northeast ridge of the valley below Vellari Malai.

==Wildlife==

[[File:Panthera tigris.jpg|thumb|200px|Indian tiger]]
Manjampatti Valley currently supports stable breeding populations of several large mammal species including [[apex predator]]s critical to healthy populations of smaller animals.

In colonial times [[Indian tiger]]s (Tamil: ''puli'' or ''புலி'' ) were common in this area and as recently as the 1950s the Raja of Puthukkottai would go out from his house in Kodaikanal and hunt them. At least one tiger has been shot here within the past fifty five years.<ref>Sherman Marcus [http://www.catboat.com/Manjampatti%20Valley.html ''Manjampatti Valley Notes''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927120910/http://www.catboat.com/Manjampatti%20Valley.html |date=27 September 2007 }}, (2007)</ref> Two tigers, a male and a female, were sighted and recorded in the 2007 wildlife census. Tiger populations in the adjoining areas of IGWS&NP and the nearby [[Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve]] could expand back into this area if they and their prey species were better protected.

The census estimated 10 to 20 [[Indian leopard|panther]]s (Tamil: ''sirutthai'') living in the Manjampatti Valley. Wild [[Indian elephant]]s roam over the whole valley. [[Sloth bear]]s (Tamil: ''karadi'') are sighted every year in the upper forests of Manjampatti valley. [[Nilgiri tahr]] (Tamil: ''varaiaadu'') live especially on the spectacular high rocky peaks around the valley, as Mudimalai, Jambumalai, and Attumalai, though they may also be seen in the valley forests. There are several herds of [[gaur]] (popularly called bison) (Tamil: ''kaattu erumai'', "forest buffalo") in the valley. Earlier the area was well known for [[Manjampatti white bison]]. This possible sub-species has recently been seen and photographed here by Forest Department staff.

[[File:Red beetles.JPG|thumb|200px|Unidentified at 1,700 m]]
Wild [[boar]] (Tamil: ''kaattu panri'') live all over the Palani Hills (Tamil: ''பழனி'') and in Manjampatti Valley, where one can frequently see holes in the ground where they have dug for edible roots. The valley has the [[Indian giant squirrel|large mountain squirrel]] (Tamil: ''malai-anil'') and the [[Indian palm squirrel|ash-colored squirrel]] (Tamil: ''saambalnira anil'').

There are wild [[peafowl|peacock]]s, [[Grey junglefowl|jungle fowl]], and many other bird species enumerated in the Wildlife Census.<ref name=Maloney/>

There are no known studies of the many reptiles, amphibians, insects, invertebrates or plants living in the valley.

==Visitor information==

[[File:Manjampatti Watchtower.jpg|200px|thumb|Sarakupatti Watchtower and Palappatti Peak, 1,357 meters (4,452 ft)]]
The Sarakupatti Watchtower is a small bare concrete room on an 8 m tower where one can go and wait to see animals. It has a fine view of the whole valley. It is located 1/2 km east of SH-17, 1/2 km north of Chinnar River checkpoint.<ref name=Maloney/> It is available for overnight lodging. Advance booking is required.

Indiranagar was formed as a [[Bangalore Development Authority|BDA]] layout in the late 1970s, and was named after the famous Kannada author [[M. K. Indira]]. In the beginning, the locality was primarily a suburb, dotted with large [[bungalow]]s and independent houses, mostly owned by defence personnel and public sector employees.

[[File:Jack & Jones store.jpg|thumb|Jack & Jones store]]

The Information Technology boom in Bengaluru in the late 1990s converted Indiranagar and its two arterial roads ([[100 Feet Road]] and Chinmaya Mission Hospital Road) into a semi-commercial area. Today, Indiranagar is an important residential and commercial hub of Bengaluru.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

The Indian locomotive class '''WCP-1''' (originally classified as '''EA/1''') is a class of 1.5 [[Volt|kV]] [[Direct current|DC]] [[electric locomotive]]s that were developed in late 1920s by [[Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works]] (SLM) for the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]] to handle passenger trains. A total of 22 WCP-1s were built in England between 1928 and 1929, and entered service in 1930.

The WCP-1 served passenger trains for nearly 50 years until its withdrawal in the early 1980s. Only one locomotive, GIPR 4006, is preserved at the [[National Rail Museum, New Delhi|National Rail Museum]], with the remainder of the units being scrapped.

== History ==
The electrification of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway began in 1922, and powerful locomotives were required to haul express trains on over the [[Western Ghats]].{{sfn|Haut|2000|page=48}} They also had to be able to reach speeds of 85 miles an hour (137 km/h)<ref name=Buchli>{{citation|surname1=Jakob Buchli|periodical=[[Schweizerische Bauzeitung]]|title=Universal-Antrieb "Winterthur" für elektrische Lokomotiven |trans-title=Universal drive "Winterthur" for electric locomotives |volume=Band 90|issue=23|year=1927|at=pp. 294–296|language=de|doi=10.5169/seals-41817|doi-access=free}}</ref> - a very high speed at that time, which was not even the case with the E 501 and 502 of the [[Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans]] had been requested.<ref name=":0">{{citation|surname1=Mitteilung der SLM|periodical=[[Schweizerische Bauzeitung]]|title=Neuerungen im mechanischen Aufbau elektrischer Schnellzuglokomotiven |trans-title=Innovations in the mechanical design of electric express train locomotives |volume=Band 89|issue=13|year=1927|at=pp. 174–175|language=de|doi=10.5169/seals-41673|doi-access=free}}</ref> Three test locomotives were therefore ordered from different manufacturers in order to be able to select a suitable design for the series. The tender and evaluation was monitored by the UK electrical engineering firm [[Merz & McLellan]] in London.{{sfn|Haut|2000|page=48}}

The Great Indian Peninsula Railway ordered the test locomotives in 1923:{{sfn|Haut|2000|pages=48-49}}
* Number 4000, a 2'Bo(A1) locomotive with the [[Winterthur universal drive]], built by SLM and Metropolitan Vickers and designated as EA/1.
* Number 4001, a 2'Co2' [[Quill drive]] locomotive, built by [[Hawthorn Leslie and Company]] and [[General Electric Company]] and designated as EB/1, later known as the [[Indian locomotive class WCP-3|WCP-3]].
* Number 4002, another Hawthorn Leslie 2'Co2', with the difference being that it had [[Buchli drive]], and was jointly built by [[Brown Boveri]]. It was designated EC/1, later [[Indian locomotive class WCP-4|WCP-4]].

The EA/1 was ultimately selected for serial production, with 21 more locomotives of this design being ordered.<ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |date=18 October 2014 |title=The Electric Locomotive Roster: DC & AC/DC Electrics |url=https://24coaches.com/the-electric-locomotive-roster-dc-acdc-electrics/ |website=24coaches.com |location= |publisher= |access-date=17 January 2025}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=January 2025}} On June 1, 1930, number 4006 hauled a seven-coach [[Deccan Queen]] over the newly electrified line to [[Pune]], then known as Poona.{{sfn|De Cet|Kent|2006|page=264}}

== Design ==

[[File:Side View of WCP-1 20005.jpg|thumb|250px|Side view of no.20005]]
The EA/1 had three driving axles in the middle, a two-axle pilot bogie on one end, and a single trailing axle on the other end, which was joined in a [[Zara bogie]] with the nearest pair of driving wheels.{{sfn|Haut|2000|page=49}}

Two traction motors each drove a driving axle via a [[Winterthur universal drive|universal drive]] The motors were mounted high in the engine room, which
gave the locomotive a high center of gravity and protect it from water damage during the frequent floods in Bombay. The motors could be removed from the side through maintenance openings in the lower part of the engine room side wall.<ref name=Buchli/>

The locomotive's body spanned the entire length of the frame. The middle section between the two cabs was divided into three rooms. The first room housed the braking equipment with vacuum pump and air reservoir, the second room contained a cam-operated switch and other equipment for the control gear, and the third room contained the starting resistors. Control scheme was achieved with all six serially connected traction motors, two parallel groups of three motors each in series, or three groups of two motors each in series. In each grouping two field weakening stages were available, so that the locomotive had a total of nine continuous driving stages.{{sfn|Haut|2000|page=48}}

'''''One Night at the Call Center''''' is a [[novel]] written by [[Chetan Bhagat]], first published in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |title=One Night at the Call Center |url=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105578.One_Night_at_the_Call_Center |website=goodreads.com |access-date=28 May 2022}}</ref> The novel revolves around a group of six [[call center]] employees working at a call center in [[Gurgaon]], [[Haryana]], India. The themes involve the anxieties and insecurities of the young Indian [[middle class]], such as career, inadequacy, marriage, and family conflicts.

The book was the second best-selling novel from the author after ''[[Five Point Someone]]''.

==Plot==

The book begins with a [[frame story]] recounting a train journey from [[Kanpur]] to Delhi. During the journey, the author meets a beautiful girl who offers to tell him a story on the condition that he has to make it his second book. After a lot of hesitation, the author agrees. The story is about six people working in a call center and relates the events that happen one night when get a phone-call from 'God'. Claimed to be based on a true story, the author uses Shyam Mehra ([[pseudonym|alias]] Sam Marcy) as the narrator, who is one among the six call center employees. Shyam loves but has lost Priyanka, who is now planning an [[arranged marriage]] with someone else, Vroom loves Esha, Esha wants to be a model, Radhika is in an unhappy marriage with a demanding mother-in-law, and Military Uncle wants to communicate with his grandson. They all hate Bakshi, their cruel and somewhat sadistic boss.

To cheer themselves up, all the lead characters of the novel decide to go to a night club. After enjoying for a while, they leave back for the office. While returning, they face a life-threatening situation when their vehicle crashes into a construction site hanging over a mesh of iron construction rods. As the rods began to yield slowly, they start to panic. They are unable to call for help as there is no mobile phone network at that place, but Shyam's mobile phone starts ringing. The phone call is from God, who speaks modern English. He speaks to all of them and gives them suggestions to improve their life, and advises them on how to get their vehicle out of the construction site. The conversation with God motivates the group to such an extent that they get ready to face their problems with determination and motivation. Meanwhile, Vroom and Shyam hatch a plan to throw Bakshi out of the call center and prevent the closing of the call center, whose employees are to be downsized radically. When they return to the call center, they carry out their plan successfully. At the end, each character has fixed a part of their life, and the author invites readers to identify aspects of themselves and their lives that they would like to change.

* Esha Singh (Eliza Singer) - An aspiring model. She always wears modern dresses and was voted THE HOTTEST CHICK by her office colleagues. She came to Chandigarh against her parents will. By the end of the book, she becomes a member of [[NGO]] and accepts a date with Vroom.
* Radikha Jha (Regina Jones) - The only married member of the group. She married her college boyfriend Anuj for love, living with his traditional family. Her mother-in-law hates her and always complains about her to Anuj which makes Anuj berate at her, as he only trusts his mother.

Vitla town is placed on a junction of four roads connecting Puttur, Kasaragod , Mangalore and Salethur.
[[Alike]] educational institutions is situated six kilometers from the city. The institution is one of the oldest in India.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} Puttaparthi Sai Baba voluntary super specialty hospital is also located in Alike.

== History ==
This little town at the foot of the Western Ghats is one of the richest areca-growing areas in the country. It is also known for its Panchalingeshwara temple. Hidden from the public glare so far, the temple had a limited patronage from both the government and the devotees, but its glorious past relates to the Mahabharata.

It is said the five Shiva Lingams at the temple were consecrated by the Pandavas. The undated shilashasanas (rock inscriptions) found on the premises of the temple bear testimony to this. An inscription of 1894 speaks about the pension paid to the hereditary trustees belonging to "Doddamarasugalu" by the government.
The Pancha Lingams are different in size resembling the Pandavas' physic. The three-storey temple is similar in structure to those built in Madhur (Ganapathy), Adoor, Kavu and Kaniyaru. They all belonged to the Mayippady royal family of Kumble (which is now in [[Kasaragod district]] of [[Kerala]]).
The sthalapurana says that it belonged to the time of the Pandavas or even earlier as the Pandavas had only performed "prathisthe" of the Pancha Lingams during their "Agnatavasa".

To support the sthalapurana, the geographical features mentioned in the "Upa Katha" of "Bakasura Vadhe" in the Aranya Kanda of the Mahabharata can be seen on the periphery of the temple. The "Gami" where Bakasura lived is on a hillock close to the town. People still visit the place where Bhima vanquished Bakasura.
There are three other places, Netthare Kere (puddle of blood), "Chipparu" where Bakasura's head was found and "Kayyaru" where the hands of the demon were found.

The Vittal Palace – in the present Bantwal taluk – is one among those several monuments, which have not been accorded their due place. History speaks of the Vittal king Achuta Heggade who was overhauled by Hyder Ali. The former was supported by the British and was residing in Talacheri.

Achuta would visit Vittal occasionally to regroup his men and fight Hyder Ali. For this, he had to lose his life. Hyder Ali had him hanged to death. His palace in Vittal is on a {{convert|10|acre|ha|adj=on}} land with a large magnificent stone-carved door. The ancient foundation has round towers and even had a stable.

[[Ravivarma Narasimha Domba Heggade]], the successor of Achuta Heggade kindled the sparks for the first revolt against the British who were ruling coastal Karnataka after the death of Tipu. But Domba Heggade was hanged by the British.

The foreigners took possession of all that Vittal Heggade owned, except the personal property and wealth. In return, the Englishmen paid an annual royalty.

The descendants of the royal family still live in the palace. In 1783, the family went on a pilgrimage to Kashi and in memory of it set up a Kashi Math.

[[Ravivarma Narasimha Domba Heggade]] built a new palace within the premises of the old one between 1790 and 1800. He along with his son-in-law won back the Vittal kingdom and ruled to the end of his life.
The palace today is in a state of decay, requiring considerable renovation if this heritage building is not to be lost.

The prominent hills are found via Mangaluru road in a place called Kelinja and Kodapadav. Kalenjimale Forest is spread across the region from Vitla Town to Kanyana & from Ukkuda to Salethur. There is a river beside Kalenjimale that finally flows into the [[Arabian Sea]], the river is seasonal, will be dry during the summer and will be overflowing during peak monsoon season. The best of views of Kalenjimale can be found on the left side beside Vitla-Salethur road. And there are few flat lands between the forests which has the clearest of night skies in Bantwal Taluk, it can be best visible after pre-monsoon showers when the air is clean and fresh. On a clear day, the Kundremukh peak can also be visible from the hills of Kanyana.

At the start of his career, he edited literary Kannada magazines such ''Katha Manjari'' and ''Vishva Vani''.<ref name="dh">{{cite web|url=http://archive.deccanherald.com/Content/Nov42008/spectrum2008110398607.asp |title=Remembering A na kru |work=[[Deccan Herald]] |date=4 November 2008 |access-date=22 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916032852/http://archive.deccanherald.com/Content/Nov42008/spectrum2008110398607.asp |archive-date=16 September 2011 }}</ref> He was also an editor of the [[Kannada Sahitya Parishath]]'s publication ''Kannada Nudi'' ("Kannada speech"). Anakru was nominated as the president of 42nd [[Kannada Sahitya Sammelana]] held in [[Manipal]].<ref name="dh"/> He is known for his passion for his native language Kannada. Once when introducing Anakru to an audience, [[Masti Venkatesh Iyengar]], one of Kannada's most well-known writers said "I am a Tamil Kannadiga, [[Sir Mirza Ismail]] is a Muslim Kannadiga, and Anakru is a pure Kannadiga". This tribute from the likes of Masti mirrors the Kannada fervour Anakru was known for.

Anakru fought for the unification of [[Kannada]] speaking regions, when Kannada speakers were spread across different provinces in [[British India]]. He started a movement to promote and popularize Kannada. He openly criticized people in authority who neglected Kannada. In one such case, he wrote an article in the ''Kannada Nudi'', criticizing the [[Hindi]] oriented policies of R. R. Divakar (the first governor of Bihar), the President of [[Kannada Sahitya Sammelana]] in 1929. On being asked to apologize, Anakru resigned from the post of the editor.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}} Anakru lived most of his life in his house (called ''Annapoorna'') in Vishveshwarapuram, a suburb in South [[Bangalore]].<ref name="dh"/> He died on 8 July 1971 at the age of 63.

==Literature==
Starting with his first novel, ''Jeevanayathre'' ("Journey of life"), Anakru wrote for about 40 years and authored more than a hundred novels.<ref name="dh"/> He was a prolific writer and his literary output exceeded eighty thousand pages. When he started writing, the ''Navodaya'' form of [[Kannada literature]] was in vogue. He rejected this form because he felt such writings were a creation of aesthetes and did not reflect the disturbing realities of life.<ref name="bk">P. K. Rajan (1989), p112</ref> He came up with themes that formed a new movement in itself, called ''[[Pragatishila]]'' ("progressive"). Anakru saw literature as an instrument of social change. Influenced by Anakru, other promising writers such as [[Ta Ra Su]] (T.R. Subba Rao), [[Basavaraj Kattimani]] and [[Anupama Niranjana]] wrote novels that belonged to the ''Pragatishila'' genre.<ref name="bk"/>

Not known to follow the beaten track, Anakru penned three novels, ''Nagna Sathya'', ''Shani Santaana'' and ''Sanje Gaththalu'', with themes dwelling on the topic of prostitution for which he was criticized for depicting vulgarity in these novels.<ref name="bk1">Sisir Kumar Das (1995), p404, 405</ref> To defend his theme, Anakru wrote in his work ''Sahitya mattu kama prachodane'' ("Literature and the propagation of lust"): "If telling the truth is vulgar, then I am a vulgar writer. If the act of covering with a cloth, a downtrodden helpless naked woman on the street is vulgar, then I am a vulgar writer".<ref name="bk1"/> His non-moralistic approach to writing and extensive usage of dialogue contributed to vast readership.<ref name="bk2"/>

His magnum opus novel Natasarvabhowma runs for 750 pages, delves into the dire state of Kannada drama world, during the early 20th century. He provides the details about what was ailing the Kannada drama companies and provides valuable suggestions on their improvement. The novel covers the life of fictitious stage actor Rajacharaya, his struggle to establish as an actor and then to run the drama company as its proprietor. This novel was first published in 1940 and was way ahead of its time. The novel was criticized for celebrating the extramarital affairs of Rajacharya. However out of 750 pages hardly 3–4 pages covers this and the rest wonderfully depicts the do good nature of Rajachraya, where he donates majority of his earnings to charity. Krishna Raos love for the Kannada culture, its people and his quest to see the Kannada speaking areas integrated comes out clearly. He severely criticizes the language bigotry and tries to convey that all languages are great through Rajacharya.

Anakru wrote many novels where the protagonist was an artist. These novels follow a plot which narrates the story of a gifted musician who becomes famous, only to succumb to the charms of a woman. This leads to his subsequent failure as his commitment on the art deteriorates. At the end, the artist either overcomes this to regain his touch or succumbs completely to passion leading to his eventual failure.<ref name="bk6">C.N. Ramachandran, Si. En Rāmacandran (2001), p55</ref> One of Anakru's most popular novels ''Sandhyaraaga'' belonged to this theme and narrates of the life of a dedicated musician while contrasting him with his mean brother.<ref name="bk2">K. M. George (1992), p182</ref> a Kannada movie based on this novel in 1966 received critical acclaim. This same novel motivated [[Beechi]], one of the great [[Kannada]] humorist, to contribute to [[Kannada literature]]. Other notable novels written by Anakru with on theme are the ''Mia Malhar'', ''Udayaraga'', ''Sahitya Ratna'' and ''Vijayanagara Samrajya (11 novels)''.

'''''Okkadunnadu''''' ({{Literal translation|There is one man}}) is a 2007 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[action thriller film]] directed by [[Chandra Sekhar Yeleti]] and produced by [[Chiranjeevi Pedamallu]]. The film stars [[Gopichand (actor)|Gopichand]] and [[Neha Jhulka]], with [[Mahesh Manjrekar]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]], and [[Rahul Dev]] in key roles. It marks the film debut of model Neha Jhulka and Mahesh Manjrekar's debut in Telugu cinema.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 February 2007 |title=First Look: Yeleti's Okkadunnadu |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/ssyeleti/20070227.htm |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=[[Rediff.com]] |language=en}}</ref> The music was composed by [[M. M. Keeravani]].

The film follows Kiran, who has the rare [[Hh blood group|Bombay blood group]], and is forced to fight for survival when a gangster with the same blood group needs his blood and heart for a transplant. Released on 3 March 2007, the film received positive reviews for its screenplay, action sequences, and technical aspects.

== Plot ==
Kiran, who has the rare [[Hh blood group|Bombay blood group]], arrives in [[Mumbai]] to sell his guest house through the real estate agent Gautami. While helping a man in need of blood, he is approached by the gangster Sona Bhai, who shares the same blood type. Kiran agrees to donate blood, but Sona's nephew secretly warns him that he will be killed. After being sedated, Kiran is about to undergo the procedure when Sona's blood pressure rises uncontrollably, causing the operation to be delayed by 24 hours. When Kiran wakes up, Jayadev, Sona's trusted aid, tells him he must donate and leave the next day. Realising their true intentions, Kiran fights off the henchmen and escapes, angering Sona.

Later, Sona's nephew contacts Kiran and reveals that it's not just blood, but Kiran's heart that is needed for transplantation, and that Sona wants it. He urges Kiran to leave Mumbai. Meanwhile, Jayadev visits Gautami's office to buy Kiran's guest house but is told it's already sold and the seller has gone to [[Hyderabad]]. When Jayadev exits, he runs into Kiran, leading to a chase and a fight where Kiran defeats Jayadev's henchmen. Over drinks, Kiran explains how he once led a wealthy life thanks to his father, who owned an honest private bank. However, his father was arrested after the bank suffered major losses and couldn't pay the depositors. The auditor told Kiran the losses happened because other board members gave large loans to [[Very important person|VIPs]] who didn't repay, though Kiran's father tried to fix things by selling his property.

Kiran got his father out on bail and promised to resolve the payment issues. They met [[Reserve Bank of India|RBI]] official Janakiram, who demanded a ₹4 [[crore]] bribe. Kiran then came to Mumbai to secure the payment for the guest house in six months. After a violent fight with Sona's henchmen, Kiran is injected with a [[sedative]], but he fights back, using improvised weapons to kill them all and escape with Gautami. Later, Kiran reveals everything about Sona to her. Seth, who had purchased the guest house, backs out of the deal, so Kiran forces him to pay the amount within 30 minutes. At the beach, Sona's nephew informs Kiran that Seth won't be paying.

Realizing that Seth fled out of fear of being killed by Sona, Kiran asks Gautami to find a new buyer for the guest house. He then meets Sona's nephew, who reveals that Sona will remain a threat to him as long as he is alive, and that the only way to eliminate him is by killing Kiran. A fight ensues, with Kiran defeating all the henchmen but sparing Sona's nephew for his earlier help. Kiran later contacts his father, discovering that Jayadev Investments is willing to invest ₹200 crore in their bank. He is shocked to learn that it was Sona who arranged the deal, offering the money in exchange for his heart. Kiran asks for time to think it over.

Kiran continues searching for a buyer for the guest house, and Gautami contacts Jayadev, who agrees to purchase it. However, Jayadev vandalises her office and orders her to inform Kiran that Sona will pay him ₹200 crore. Kiran confronts Sona, who has now bought the guest house, and threatens to cut off his life support if he does not pay him. After receiving ₹4 crore, Kiran meets Janakiram in Mumbai. At a hotel, Kiran discovers a CD revealing that Janakiram had colluded with Jayadev, but was later killed. Jayadev had promised Janakiram ₹10 crore to keep Kiran from getting help.

Kiran goes to Sona's place and fights his goons. During the fight, Sona's nephew secretly reveals the room number where the money is kept. Kiran retrieves the money and destroys Sona's life support system. Sona's nephew is exposed when Sona and Jayadev see the room number written on his hand. The nephew admits that he wanted to inherit Sona's power, but since Sona's children will inherit everything, he planned to eliminate him. He then attempts to kill Sona, but is instead shot by Jayadev. Sona also meets his demise. Kiran survives a gunfight and an explosion, while Jayadev shoots himself. Kiran escapes with the money.

== Production ==

=== Development ===
The storyline of ''Okkadunnadu'' was originated from [[Chandra Sekhar Yeleti]]’s idea of using rare blood groups as the central conflict. The film revolves around the rare [[Hh blood group|Bombay blood group]], discovered in [[Mumbai|Bombay]] (now Mumbai), with real-life incidents related to it forming the basis of the plot.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=20 February 2007 |title=Press Meet - Okkadunnadu |url=https://www.idlebrain.com/news/functions/pressmeet-okkadunnadu.html |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=Idlebrain.com}}</ref> Additionally, the film features a backdrop of [[heart transplantation]]. To balance the unique theme, Yeleti included a familiar backdrop of bank scams in the hero's flashback.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=6 March 2007 |title=Interview with Chandra Sekhar Yeleti |url=https://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/chandrasekharyeleti.html |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=[[Idlebrain.com]]}}</ref>

While the hero's invincibility aligned with commercial cinema norms, scenes were included where he retreats from the antagonist's gang to introduce moments of vulnerability and balance the narrative. Additionally, a large suitcase was used as a battery backup for patients with rare blood groups to enhance the drama, even though smaller packs would have been more realistic.<ref name=":1" /> To offset the intense conflict between the protagonist and antagonist, Yeleti added a humorous dimension through the heroine's character. Humour and entertainment were intentionally kept minimal to maintain the film's serious tone.<ref name=":1" />

P. Chiranjeevi, also known as Cherry, made his debut as a film producer with ''Okkadunnadu'' under the Clap Entertainment banner, collaborating with his friend and director Chandra Sekhar Yeleti. He has been active in the Telugu film industry since 1993, having previously worked as an executive producer and distributor on several successful films.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=18 December 2006 |title=Chitchat with Cherry |url=https://www.idlebrain.com/news/2000march20/chitchat-cherry.html |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=Idlebrain.com}}</ref>

[[Koratala Siva]] wrote the dialogues for the film. After sharing dialogue writing credits on four films produced by [[Dil Raju]], he took on the role of solo dialogue writer for this film.<ref name=":2" />

=== Casting ===
Chandra Sekhar Yeleti wrote the script with [[Gopichand (actor)|Gopichand]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]], and [[Rahul Dev]] in mind for key roles. However, casting the antagonist and the female lead proved more challenging. The team sought a villain aged between 50 and 60 years and a heroine with a unique body language and unconventional appearance.<ref name=":1" />

After careful consideration, [[Mahesh Manjrekar]] and [[Neha Jhulka]] were cast in these roles. ''Okkadunnadu'' marked Manjrekar's Telugu film debut. Despite his busy schedule as both a director and actor, he was convinced to join the project due to the script's strong appeal. Neha Jhulka, who had previously worked in commercials for brands such as Santoor, [[Bharti Airtel|Airtel]], and [[HDFC Bank|HDFC]], made her feature film debut with this project.<ref name=":2" />

Gopichand was advised by Yeleti to study [[Tom Hanks]]' performances for inspiration. For his role, Nassar adopted a distinct look by acting with one eye larger than the other to enhance his villainous presence.<ref name=":1" />

=== Filming ===
The film was shot extensively in [[Mumbai]].<ref name=":2" /> [[Jaya Krishna Gummadi]], known for his work on [[Mr & Mrs Sailaja Krishnamurthy|''Mr. & Mrs. Sailaja Krishnamurthy'']] (2004), handled the cinematography. The art direction was managed by Ravindar, who oversaw the construction of sets in both Mumbai and Hyderabad, including three major sets in Hyderabad. Three fight masters—[[Allan Amin]], [[Ram Lakshman (stunt choreographers)|Ram Lakshman]], and Vijay—were hired to choreograph the action sequences.<ref name=":2" />

During the [[Re-recording (filmmaking)|re-recording]], director Chandra Sekhar Yeleti stayed in Hyderabad, while the team had to travel to [[Dubai]] to shoot the songs. [[Krishna Vamsi]] directed these songs, with choreography by Noble.<ref name=":3" />

The band is renowned for its unique fusion of [[Carnatic music]] with [[progressive rock]] elements. Agam gained significant commercial recognition with the release of ''Malhar Jam'', which was featured on ''[[Coke Studio (Indian TV program)|MTV's Coke Studio]]'' and included in their debut album, ''The Inner Self Awakens (2012).'' <ref>{{Cite web |title=From shy kid to showman |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/from-shy-kid-to-showman-764208.html |access-date=2025-02-08 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>

Over the years, the band's subsequent career has included extensive touring, collaborations with notable artists within the Indian music scene, and contributions to film music compositions.

== History ==
Agam was formed in Bengaluru by a group of college musicians who shared a deep passion for progressive rock and Indian classical music.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kusnur |first=Narendra |date=2019-08-30 |title=Carnatic blended with rock |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/carnatic-blended-with-rock/article29302736.ece |access-date=2025-02-08 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> The band derived its name from the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] word 'Agam', meaning 'inner self', reflecting their introspective and experimental musical approach. In their early days, Agam focused on blending Carnatic ragas with Western [[progressive rock]], creating a unique sound that became a defining element of the band's identity.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Paul |first=Chokita |date=2023-08-03 |title=Agam on its echoes of selfhood |url=https://www.indulgexpress.com/culture/music/2023/Aug/03/agam-on-its-echoes-of-selfhood-51698.html |access-date=2025-02-08 |website=Indulgexpress |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=M |first=Nisha Jain |date=2019-06-20 |title=Synchronised by music |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2019/Jun/20/synchronised-by-music-1992445.html |access-date=2025-02-08 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

Each member brought unique musical influences that shaped Agam's distinctive sound. [[Harish Sivaramakrishnan]], a trained Carnatic vocalist with over 30 years of classical music experience, infused traditional South Indian elements into their compositions. Praveen Kumar Thyagarajan, the lead guitarist, was deeply influenced by metal music, contributing to Agam’s progressive rock edge. Ganesh Ram Nagarajan had diverse musical interests, spanning both Western genres and Indian classical music. Swaminathan Seetharaman brought in influences from [[reggae]], [[hip-hop]], [[blues]], and [[soul music]], adding another layer of diversity to the band's sound. This eclectic mix of backgrounds led to the development of Agam’s signature Carnatic progressive rock sound.

In 2007, the band had their first major breakthrough after winning ''Ooh La La La'', a music reality show hosted by [[Sun TV (India)|Sun TV]] and judged by [[A. R. Rahman]].

The band's sound is equally shaped by modern genres, incorporating progressive rock elements, including complex time signatures, dynamic song structures, and metal-inspired guitar riffs.

'''Ambika Charan Guha''' ({{langx|bn|অম্বিকাচরণ গুহ}}; 1843–1900), popularly known as '''Ambu babu''' ({{langx|bn|অম্বুবাবু}}) or '''Ambu Guha''' ({{langx|bn|অম্বু গুহ}}), was an Indian [[wrestling|wrestler]] who pioneered the growth of ''[[akhara]]'' culture in [[Bengal]].

== Early life ==
Ambika Charan came from a family of wrestlers. His grandfather, Shiv Charan Guha, patronized [[Pehlwani]] and is credited with popularizing the sport in Bengal. Ambika Charan was born to Abhay Charan Guha in 1843 in Hogolkuria in [[Kolkata]]. The locality is near the Masjidbari Street near [[Hatibagan]].

Ambika Charan suffered a serious injury at the age of eight or nine. At the advice of the doctor he began to continue his studies at home. He also continued his physical exercises and took lessons in [[horse riding]] at home. He was trained in Pehlwani by Kalicharan Chaubey of [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=baTsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA45|title=Sport, Literature, Society: Cultural Historical Studies|last1=Tadié|first1=Alexis|last2=Mangan|first2=J. A.|last3=Chaudhuri|first3=Supriya|date=2016-04-08|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781134920242|language=en}}</ref>

== Career ==

In 1857, at the age of sixteen, Ambika, founded the first ''akhara'' of Bengal, at the advice of his grandfather.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wrestling.org.in/pro-wrestling/|title=Wrestling History {{!}} Indian Pro Wrestling Base|date=20 March 2015 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-07-30}}</ref> Ambika then travelled throughout [[British India]] learning different wrestling and [[Powerlifting|weight lifting]] tricks. He engaged in wrestling bouts with contemporary Indian wrestlers and became victorious in many of them. He came to be known as "Ambu babu" or "Raja babu".

His ''akhara'' became a pilgrimage to the budding wrestlers of India. Ambika Charan became a Pehlwani trainer and the budding wrestlers of Bengal used to train under him. [[Swami Vivekananda]] in his early years, learned [[wrestling]] in Ambu babu's ''akhara''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Swami Vivekananda in India: A Corrective Biography|last=Rajagopal Chattopadhyaya|year=1999|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EtcoeaQIQdAC|isbn = 8120815866|page=22}}</ref>

Some of his famous students are listed below.
* Khetra Charan Guha or Khetu babu
* [[Jatindra Charan Guho]]
* [[Swami Vivekananda]]
* [[Swami Brahmananda]]
* [[Jatindranath Mukherjee]] or Bagha Jatin
* Phanindra Krishna Gupta

== Legacy ==
His son, [[Khetra Charan Goho]], (popularly known as Khetu babu) also became an accomplished wrestler. Khetu babu's nephew, [[Gobar Goho|Jatindra Charan Goho]], went on to become an accomplished wrestler who became the first [[Asian people|Asian]] to win the World Light Heavyweight Championship in the United States in 1921.

The ''akhara'' culture subsequently flourished in Bengal and the [[Bengali Hindu]] elite were drawn into it. Hundreds of ''akharas'' began to proliferate in the nooks and crannies of Bengal, some of which later became the breeding ground of revolutionary nationalist activities.

'''Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal''' is a common tribunal to solve river water disputes, created by the Government of India on 10 April 1969.

== Detailed information ==
The [[Government of India]] (GoI) constituted a common tribunal on 10 April 1969 to solve the river water utilization disputes about the river basin states of [[Godavari River|Godavari]] and Krishna rivers under the provisions of [[Interstate River Water Disputes Act]] – 1956.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cwc.gov.in/main/downloads/legal_instruments_2.pdf|title=Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal final report, (page 52)|year=1980|access-date=21 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110112113204/http://cwc.gov.in/main/downloads/legal_instruments_2.pdf|archive-date=12 January 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cwc.gov.in/main/downloads/1956.pdf|title=The interstate river water disputes act, 1956 - As modified up to 6th August 2002|publisher=Government of India|access-date=21 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326133949/http://www.cwc.gov.in/main/downloads/1956.pdf|archive-date=26 March 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The common tribunal was headed by Sri RS Bachawat as its chairman with Sri DM Bhandari and Sri DM Sen as its members.

[[Godavari River]] basin spreads through the states of Telangana (TS), [[Maharashtra]] (MR), [[Odisha]], old Madhya Pradesh {later bifurcated into present [[Madhya Pradesh]] (MP) and [[Chhattisgarh]]}, [[Karnataka]] (K) and [[Andhra Pradesh]] (AP).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kgbo-cwc.ap.nic.in/About%20Basins/Godavari.pdf |title=Godavari river basin map |access-date=10 February 2013 |archive-date=12 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012032632/http://www.kgbo-cwc.ap.nic.in/About%20Basins/Godavari.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/Publications/BasinReports/Godavari%20Basin.pdf|title=Godavari basin status report|publisher=Government of India|access-date=21 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117020801/http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/Publications/BasinReports/Godavari%20Basin.pdf|archive-date=17 November 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Krishna River]] basin states Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh insisted on the quicker verdict as it had become more expedient for the construction of irrigation projects in Krishna basin. So the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal (GWDT) could not proceed until the [[Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal]] final verdict was submitted, the verdict was submitted to the Government on 27 May 1976.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://irrigationap.cgg.gov.in/img/tribunaryDisputes/GWDT%20AWARD.pdf |title= Refer page 8, Volume 1 of GWDT Award |publisher=Government of India|access-date=21 March 2015}}</ref><ref>Appendix U (pages 293 and 294) of Volume III, KWDT report in 1973</ref>

Before the reorganization of the states in 1956, the Planning Commission conducted a meeting on 27 July 1951 involving the then Godavari river basin states: [[Bombay State]], [[Hyderabad State]], [[Madras State]], and Madhya Pradesh state, excluding [[Odisha]] state. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and finalize the utilization of Godavari river water among the riparian states. A memorandum of agreement (found on page 105 of the draft GWDT report) was prepared and later ratified by the participating states. According to the agreement, water allocations were to be reviewed after 25 years, specifically on 27 July 1976.

As the old agreement was nearing expiration, all five states of the Godavari river basin, including Odisha, signed a new agreement on 19 December 1975. This new agreement pertained to the sanction and clearance of projects in accordance with certain bilateral agreements that were made between them after the formation of the GWDT.

This agreement, together with its annexures, was filed before the GWDT on 12 July 1976.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://irrigationap.cgg.gov.in/img/tribunaryDisputes/GWDT%20AWARD.pdf|title=GWDT Award|publisher=Government of India|access-date=21 March 2015}}</ref> The voluntary cooperation shown by the disputing states through this gesture made the process easier for the Tribunal. However, the states of Odisha and Chhattisgarh were unable to reach an agreement with Andhra Pradesh on various aspects related to the [[Polavaram Project|Polavaram dam]], such as Full Reservoir Level (FRL)/Maximum Water Level (MWL), spillway design capacity, and flood gates operation schedule during the flood season. The GWDT adjudicated on this issue, and its decision can be found in clause VI of its final order (page 25 of the final GWDT report).

The remaining sections of the final order address the definition of 'water uses' (clauses I & II), 'water use measurement' (clause III A & B), 'water use and losses accounting in a water year from the storage in a reservoir' (clause III C), 'export of Godavari waters to other river basins' (clause IV), 'agreements related to the Godavari river' (clause V), 'Godavari waters' (clause VIII b), and other relevant aspects to interpret and implement the various agreements between the states.

The final report of the GWDT was submitted to the Government of India on 7 July 1980 for approval and notification. The Government of India accepted the verdict of the GWDT and made it legally binding on the river basin states in 1980. The agreements reached between the riparian states at the sub-basin level are reviewed and approved by all riparian states within the entire Godavari basin. Once the tribunal award is accepted, no state can withdraw from the total tribunal award.

The tribunal award applies in full to all riparian states, and no state can obstruct the construction of an agreed-upon or identified interstate project on any grounds by refusing to cooperate.[[File:Sri Ram Sagar Project (Pochampahad).jpg|thumb|350 px|[[Sriram Sagar Project]], an idling project for lack of water inflows in most of the years]]
[[File:Nizam Sagar,Nizamabad.jpg|thumb|350 px|[[Nizam Sagar]], another idling project for lack of water inflows in most of the years]]

==Water allocations==
The water used under the existing / completed major, medium & minor irrigation projects up to 6 October 1975 is protected in all the states. The water use sanctioned / cleared up to 6 October 1975 for the major, medium & minor irrigation projects is also protected in all the states. The river basin is mainly bifurcated into the following broad areas to share the river water:

*The catchment area located upstream of [[Sriram Sagar Project|Pochampadu dam]] site.
*Rest of the river downstream of Pochampadu dam site including major tributaries [[Pranhita River|Pranhita]], [[Indravati River|Indravati]], and [[Sabari River|Sabari]].

===Upstream of Pochampadu dam site===
This river basin area is further subdivided into the following areas:

*Catchment area upstream the [[Jayakwadi Dam|Paithan dam]] site on Godavari: All the water available up to Paithan dam site is allotted to MR for its use.
*Catchment area upstream [[Siddheshwar Dam]] site on [[Purna River (tributary of Godavari)|Purna]] tributary: All the water available up to Siddheswar dam site is allotted to MR for its use.
*Catchment area upstream [[Nizamsagar|Nizamsagar dam]] site on [[Manjira River|Manjira]] tributary: Karnataka can use 13.10 thousand million cubic feet (tmc) under Karanja Project and 1.17tmc under Chukinala Project (Page 86 of original GWDT)

MR can use 22 tmc up to Nizamsagar dam site on Manjira River (Page 90 of original GWDT)

AP can draw 4 tmc for drinking water of [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] city. 58 TMC is agreed and protected water use under the existing Nizamsagar project. (Page 90 of original GWDT)

One tmc water lifting from the Manjira river is allowed by Karnataka. (Page 133 of original GWDT)

*Catchment area upstream of Pochampadu dam site but below Nizamsagar, Siddheswar and Paithan dam sites: MR should not use more than 60 tmc in a water year from the waters of this area. As submitted to the Supreme Court (section 19), MR was using / developing projects for 42 tmc water utilisation in this catchment area before 6 October 1975 agreement with AP,<ref name=SCverdict>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/160288133/|title= Supreme Court verdict on Babhali project dispute |date=February 2013|access-date=21 March 2013}}</ref> The total permitted water usage from the water generated in this catchment area by MR is 102 tmc.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/aurangabad/barrages-built-on-marathwada-rivers-hold-11-3-tmc-water/articleshow/72420836.cms|title= Barrages built on Marathwada rivers hold 11.3 TMC water |newspaper= The Times of India |date= 8 December 2019 |access-date=10 December 2019}}</ref> K should not use more than 2.5 tmc in a water year (Page 133 of original GWDT) and AP is at liberty to use remaining waters available at Pochampadu dam site.

* Supreme court verdict (section 83 ii b) on [[Babli Project]] dispute stipulated that the gates of Babhali barrage remain lifted during the monsoon season, i.e., 1 July to 28 October and there is no obstruction to the natural flow of Godavari river during monsoon season below the three dams (Paithan, Siddheshwar & Nizamsagar dams) mentioned in clause II (i) of the agreement dated 6 October 1975 towards Pochampad dam.<ref name=SCverdict/> Thus Pochampadu reservoir is accorded priority over any other reservoir (major, medium, minor, barrage, etc.) to receive the water generated from the Godavari basin area located below these three dams. As stipulated by Supreme court, central government has set up a monitoring committee to implement / supervise the water sharing as per the agreement dated 6 October 1975 and the supreme court verdict.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newindianexpress.com/nation/Centre-sets-up-panel-on-Babli/2013/10/18/article1841969.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024045413/http://newindianexpress.com/nation/Centre-sets-up-panel-on-Babli/2013/10/18/article1841969.ece |url-status= dead |archive-date= 24 October 2013 |title= Centre sets up panel on Babli|access-date=19 October 2013}}</ref>

=== Downstream of Pochampadu dam site ===
MR, AP and old MP states can use 300 tmc each and Odisha can use 200 tmc for new projects / uses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Headworks_(Dam,_Barrage,Weir,_Anicut,_Lift)|title= Dams, Barrages, Weirs, Anicuts & Lifts in Godavari river basin|access-date= 11 March 2015|archive-date= 28 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150528221639/http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Headworks_(Dam,_Barrage,Weir,_Anicut,_Lift)|url-status= dead}}</ref>

This river catchment area is further subdivided into the following areas (not complete list):

*Catchment area upstream Lower Penganga dam on Penganga tributary: All the water available up to Lower Penganga dam is allotted to MR subject to the condition that this project would be taken up as joint project of MR and AP.
*Warda sub basin: MP should not use more than 9 tmc for its existing, ongoing and proposed projects upstream of upper Warda project of MR. MP can also use additionally 1 tmc for its existing, ongoing and proposed projects located in the remaining sub basin.
*Indravati tributary: Odisha state can use all the water of Indravati tributary in its territory except 45 tmc subject to the condition that minimum 85 tmc is exported outside the Godavari basin from the Upper Indravati project. During the water years, when the water export is below 85 tmc, the water made available to Chhattisgarh state is proportionately reduced. Chhattisgarh state should not use more than 273 tmc upstream of Bhopalapatnam hydro electric project in Indravati sub basin.
*Sabari tributary: Odisha state can use all the water of Sabari (Kolab) tributary up to the point where Sabari river forms common boundary between Odisha and Chhattisgarh states.

These agreements also permit to construct various interstate projects such as Pochampadu project between MR and AP, Lower Penganga project between MR and AP, [[Pranahita Chevella lift irrigation scheme|Pranhita barrages]] between MR and AP, Lendi project between MR and AP, Bhopalpatnam Hydro electric project between MR and Chhattisgarh, [[Icchampally Project|Inchampalli project]] between MR, Chhattisgarh and AP, Lower Sileru irrigation scheme between AP and Odisha, Polavaram Project between Odisha, Chhattisgarh and AP, future projects across Sabari river between Odisha and Chhattisgarh, [[Singur Dam|Singoor project]] between Karnataka and AP, Storage projects located in MP for water use in MR, etc.

==Scientific approach==
When rain falls on the land mass, soil absorbs a part of rain water and remaining part of the rain water joins the nearby stream by flowing on the surface of soil. Some of the water absorbed by the soil gets evaporated from the soil, some part of the remaining water in the soil emerges into the surface stream as seepage flows and rest of water collects in the underground aquifer as ground water. This process also takes place when the land is irrigated by surface water. The surface run off and the subsurface seepage out of the total rainfall is the available water in the river basin after deducting the natural evaporation loss from the naturally formed water bodies (both perennial and non perennial) in the river basin in a water year. The water thus available is called primary water supplies / flows in a river.

If there is no ground water extraction, over a period of time all ground water aquifers get saturated fully and further ground water percolation to the aquifers would join the river streams as enhanced seepage flows / [[baseflow|base flows]]. Thus any underground water extraction / use from the river basin aquifers reduce the primary water flows in the river basin.

When river water is used in surface irrigation, the part of water joining the stream is termed as 'return flows' and the part of water joining the aquifer is termed as 'seepage loss' or manmade ground water charging. The total water available for use is the sum of primary water supplies and return (recycled) flows in a river basin. The total available water for use in a river basin is almost one-and-half times the primary water supplies if net ground water use is also accounted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/Publications/IWMI_Research_Reports/PDF/pub083/RR83.pdf |title=Spatial variation in water supply and demand across river basins of India|author=IWMI Research Report 83|access-date=23 August 2012}}</ref> If ground water use is intensive or close to ground water mining, the return flows would be during heavy rains period only which are below 10% of primary water supplies in the river basin. There would be negligible base flows into the river streams during the remaining period and good chance of river turning in to [[losing stream]] due to unsustainable ground water exploitation.

Both evaporation loss and seepage loss take place in manmade water works such as canals, reservoirs, ponds, tanks, percolation ponds / meadows, sewage treatment plants, water harvesting / ground water recharging works / contour bunding of fields, etc. Land is often used for enhanced ground water charging from rain water by constructing contour bunds to the fields for better soil moisture and salt's leaching from the top soil. All these works are either manmade reservoirs or manmade other works as explained in Clause III B & C of final order of GWDT.

Water reservoir creates space to store water for various requirements such as domestic, municipal, irrigation, industrial, power production, navigation, carryover storage for future year's use, pisciculture (fish rearing), wild life protection and recreation purposes. Clause II declares each of above purpose is water use along with the evaporation loss from the associated storage. The sum of all storages (without repetition) associated with all water uses is the total storage of all manmade reservoirs and other works. The loss of water by seepage is due to natural cause/ phenomenon from the manmade reservoirs and other manmade works.

Clause III A defines how the water use is quantified / measured for domestic, municipal, irrigation, industrial, production of power and diversions outside the Godavari river basin area. Clause III B defines how a water use from the manmade reservoirs and other works are measured for remaining uses (navigation, pisciculture, wild life protection and recreation purposes) which are not covered under Clause III A.

Every manmade reservoir's water is invariably used for pisciculture, wild life survival, navigation, recreation, etc. additionally though main water use is for irrigation or domestic or industrial requirements.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cwc.gov.in/main/downloads/Real%20Integrated%20Operation%20of%20Reservoirs%20.pdf|title= Real time integrated operation of reservoirs (sections 2.2.5, page 8)|author= Central Water Commission, GoI |access-date=23 January 2013}}</ref> So the actual seepage loss from the manmade reservoirs and other works are to be accounted under water uses for pisciculture, wild life protection, navigation, recreational purposes as per Clause III B.

Clause I declares that ground water use shall not be reckoned as river water use. In Godavari basin the ground water use exceeds surface / river water use in irrigation, etc. So the actual return flows available would not exceed 10% of primary water supply of the river. Thus as an exception in case of irrigation use, Clause II B aptly says that the extent of return flows shall not be deducted from the water lifted / diverted for the irrigation use (clause III A i). Also, it implies that return flows deduction is applicable for water uses under domestic & municipal water supply (clause III A iii) and industrial purpose (clause III A iv) at the rate of 80% and 97.5% respectively.

Clause III C very clearly says seepage and evaporation water losses to the extent of actual depletion from a manmade reservoir shall be accounted under water use in each water year whether stored water is put to use or not. The water diverted from a reservoir in a water year shall be considered water use only in that year. Mere creation of water storage in a reservoir in a water year is not reckoned as water use in that water year. Thus GWDT allows the creation of carry over storage in reservoirs for future years use when surplus river water is available in a water year to meet water shortfall in the river in future water deficit years up to the permitted water uses. This clause implies that the water use permits are from average annual water availability in the river.

Clause VIII b defines 'Godavari waters' as water of the main stream of the Godavari river, all its tributaries and all other streams contributing water directly or indirectly to the Godavari river. Clause III C implies that any temporary or permanent manmade bund constructed across any stream / point in Godavari river basin / system to obstruct and impound the natural flow of Godavari waters shall be considered as manmade reservoir whatever may be its storage capacity. It also very clearly says seepage and evaporation water losses to the extent of actual depletion from a manmade reservoir in a water year shall be accounted under water use in that water year.

===Available water for use===
From the above elaboration of clauses I to IV of GWDT final order, the total available water in a water year from the Godavari river is sum of
* Primary water supplies / flows in a water year,
* Carryover storages available in manmade reservoirs and other works at the beginning of the water year,
* Return flows from the domestic and municipal water supply within the basin at the rate of 80% in that water year and
* Return flows from the Industrial supply within the basin at the rate of 97.5% in that water year.

===Total water use===
From the above elaboration of clauses I to IV of GWDT final order, the total water use in a water year from the Godavari river shall be measured as sum of the following

* 100% of Irrigation water supplies made available to minor, supplementary irrigation (water pumped from nearby streams during rainy season for watering dry land crops), medium irrigation and major irrigation,
* 20% of domestic and municipal water supply made available in Godavari river basin
* 2.5% of water supplies made available for Industrial use within the Godavari river basin.
* 100% of water supplies made available for diversion outside the Godavari river basin.
* The extent of depletion of water as evaporation loss from the water storages in all man made reservoirs and other works which shall include canals, reservoirs, ponds, tanks, percolation ponds / meadows, sewage treatment plants, water harvesting / ground water recharging works / rainfed cultivated fields with contour bunds, etc.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiawaterportal.org/articles/national-wetland-atlas-updated-database-wetlands-india-ministry-environment-and-forests|title= Wetlands atlas of India|date= 17 June 2011|access-date=25 August 2012}}</ref>
* The extent of depletion of water as seepage loss from the water storage in all man made reservoirs and other works which shall include canals, reservoirs, ponds, tanks, percolation ponds / meadows, sewage treatment plants, water harvesting / ground water recharging works / rain fed cultivated fields with contour bunds, etc.

There is surplus water available in the river in 75% of water years after meeting the total water use allocations by GWDT, present and future ground water use, for the moderate environmental flow requirements and [[dissolved load|salt export]] or [[Alkali soils|alkalinity]] control in Godavari river.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nrlp.iwmi.org/PDocs/DReports/Phase_01/14.%20Environmental%20water%20demand%20-%20Smakhtin%20et%20al.pdf|title=An assessment of environmental flow requirements of Indian river basins|author1=V.

'''Sahajanand Saraswati''' ([[Hindi]]: सहजानन्द सरस्वती [[Help:IPA/Hindi and Urdu|/sɛɦɛdʒa:nɐnd sɐrɐswɐti/]] {{audio|Sahajananda saraswati.ogg|pronunciation}}, 22 February 1889 – 26 June 1950) was an [[ascetic]], a nationalist and a peasant leader of India. Although born in [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|United Provinces]] (present-day [[Uttar Pradesh]]), his social and political activities focussed mostly on [[Bihar]]<ref>{{cite book |last1=Nadkarni |first1=MV |title=The Bhagavad-Gita for the Modern Reader: History, Interpretations and Philosophy |date=2016 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781315438993 |page=111}}</ref> in the initial days, and gradually spread to the rest of India with the formation of the [[All India Kisan Sabha]]. He had set up an ashram at [[Bihta]], near Patna, Bihar carried out most of his work in the later part of his life from there. He was an intellectual, prolific writer, [[social reformer]] and revolutionary.

==Biography==
Swami Sahajanand Saraswati was born in [[Deva Village]] near Dullahpur, Ghazipur district in eastern Uttar Pradesh Provinces in 1889 to a [[Bhumihar]] family.<ref>{{cite book |first=Peter |last=Robb |title=Peasants, Political Economy and Law (at p. 38, fn. 36) |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-19-568160-4}}</ref> He was the last of six sons and was then called Naurang Rai. His mother died in his childhood, and he was raised by his aunt.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virginia.edu/soasia/symsem/kisan/papers/swami.html|title=Swami And Friends – Arvind N. Das|work=virginia.edu}}</ref>

The Kisan Sabha movement started in Bihar under the leadership of Saraswati, who formed the [[Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha]] (BPKS) in 1929, to mobilise peasant grievances against the [[zamindari]] attacks on their occupancy rights, and thus sparking the farmers' movements in India.<ref>{{cite book |first=Śekhara |last=Bandyopādhyāya |title=From Plassey to Partition: A History of Modern India |publisher=[[Orient Longman]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-81-250-2596-2 |page=406}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Peasant Struggles in India |first=Akshayakumar Ramanlal |last=Desai |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1979 |page=349}}</ref>

Gradually the peasant movement intensified and spread across the rest of India. All these radical developments on the peasant front culminated in the formation of the [[All India Kisan Sabha]] (AIKS) at the [[Lucknow]] session of the [[Indian National Congress]] in April 1936 with Saraswati elected as its first President<ref>{{cite book |first=Śekhara |last=Bandyopādhyāya |title=From Plassey to Partition: A History of Modern India |publisher=[[Orient Longman]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-81-250-2596-2 |page=407}}</ref> and it involved prominent leaders such as [[N. G. Ranga]] and [[E. M. S. Namboodiripad]]. The Kisan Manifesto, which was released in August 1936, demanded abolition of the zamindari system and cancellation of rural debts. In October 1937, the AIKS adopted the red flag as its banner.<ref>{{cite book |title=Mahatma Gandhi |first=Sankar |last=Ghose |publisher=Allied Publishers |year=1991 |isbn=81-7023-205-8 |page=262}}</ref> Soon, its leaders became increasingly distant with Congress, and repeatedly came in confrontation with Congress governments in Bihar and United Province.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Saraswati organised the Bakasht Movement in Bihar in 1937–1938. "Bakasht" means self-cultivated. The movement was against the eviction of tenants from Bakasht lands by [[zamindar]]s and led to the passing of the Bihar Tenancy Act and the Bakasht Land Tax.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=23eYY4sR3KQC&pg=PA175|title=Rural Development And Social Change: Thoughts Of Swami Sahajanand|last=Kumar|first=Dalip|year=2007|publisher=Deep & Deep Publications|isbn=9788184500004}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GL_yRdwbQP8C&pg=PA79|title=Agrarian Movements in India: Studies on 20th Century Bihar|last=Das|first=Arvind N.|year=1982|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=9780714632162}}</ref> He also led the successful struggle in the Dalmia Sugar Mill at [[Bihta]], where peasant-worker unity was the most important characteristic.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HvYpVtBXw5kC&pg=PA24|title=Insurrection to Agitation: The Naxalite Movement in Punjab|last=Judge|first=Paramjit S.|date=1992|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=9788171545278}}</ref>

On hearing of Saraswati's arrest during the [[Quit India Movement]], [[Subhash Chandra Bose]] and [[All India Forward Bloc]] decided to observe 28 April as [[All-India Swami Sahajanand Day]] in protest of his incarceration by the [[British Raj]].<ref name="bose">{{cite book |first=S.

Subhash Chandra Bose, leader of the Forward Bloc, said: {{blockquote|Swami Sahajanand Saraswati is, in the land of ours, a name to conjure with. The undisputed leader of the peasant movement in India, he is today the idol of the masses and the hero of millions.

For the Forward Block it was a privilege and an honour to get him as one of the foremost leaders of the Left movement and as a friend, philosopher and guide of the Forward Block itself. Following Swamiji's lead, a large number of front-rank leaders of the peasant movement have been intimately associated with the Forward Block.<ref name="bose" />}}

'''''Cyrtodactylus jeyporensis''''', also known as the '''Jeypore Indian gecko''', the '''Jeypore ground gecko''', or the '''Patinghe Indian gecko''',<ref name="iucn status 20 November 2021" /> is an endangered species of [[gecko]] found in [[India]], which was until recently considered [[extinct]]. Described from a single specimen in 1877, it was rediscovered in 2010 in the [[Eastern Ghats]] of [[Odisha]] state, [[India]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Extinct lizard rediscovered after 135 years|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-23/flora-fauna/37960218_1_species-extinct-lizard-varad-giri|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411032949/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-23/flora-fauna/37960218_1_species-extinct-lizard-varad-giri|archive-date=11 April 2013|access-date=23 March 2013|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=23 March 2013}}</ref>

==Discovery and rediscovery==
The [[species]] was described in 1877 by then Lt Col [[Richard Henry Beddome]] of the [[Madras Presidency]] Army, from a single male specimen obtained from the woods on "Patinghe hill" in the [[Jeypore]] forests of present-day [[Odisha]], at an altitude of {{convert|4200|ft|m|disp=flip}}. The [[holotype]] is deposited as BNHM 82.5.22.37 in the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]] (earlier British Museum of natural history).<ref name="Agarwal_et_al_2012">{{cite journal|author=Agarwal, Ishan|author2=Aniruddha Datta-Roy|author3=Aaron M.

In 2009, Ishan Aggarwal, a doctoral student at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, [[Indian Institute of Sciences]], [[Bangalore]], started working on the genus ''[[Geckoella]]''. He hoped to rediscover this "lost" species as it would help piece together the evolutionary history of the genus. The search began with piecing together the route of Beddome's explorations in the Eastern Ghats. After many months of research, the CES and the [[Bombay Natural History Society]] (BNHS) put together expeditions in high elevation areas of the Eastern Ghats in southern Odisha in September 2010 and northern Andhra Pradesh in November 2011.<ref name="Agarwal_et_al_2012"/><ref name="KJReptiles">{{cite web |url=http://www.kjreptilesupplies.co.uk/blog/jeypore-ground-gecko-geckoella-jeyporensis-has-been-rediscovered/ |title=Jeypore ground gecko (Geckoella Jeyporensis) has been rediscovered after 135 years |author=Molloy, Kieron |date=25 March 2013 |website=KJ Reptile Supplies |access-date=10 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130513081300/http://www.kjreptilesupplies.co.uk/blog/jeypore-ground-gecko-geckoella-jeyporensis-has-been-rediscovered/ |archive-date=13 May 2013 }}</ref>

A sub-adult male lizard was collected on 20 September 2010 in [[Koraput]] district, [[Odisha]], by Ishan Agarwal and Aniruddha Datta-Roy of CES which was deposited in the collection of the BNHS. A second specimen, an adult male, was recorded on 9 October 2011 from Galikonda, [[Visakhapatnam]] district, [[Andhra Pradesh]] extending its known distribution range.<ref name="Agarwal_et_al_2012"/>

The lizard appears to inhabit semi-evergreen forests in high elevation areas (> {{convert|1200|m|ft}}) of the [[Eastern Ghats]] of southern [[Odisha]] and northern [[Andhra Pradesh]]. However, the areas where the lizard has been found are under tremendous pressure from deforestation and mining.

| title = 1311 massacre of Mongols in the Delhi Sultanate
| location = [[Delhi Sultanate]]

}}
In 1311, the [[Delhi Sultanate]] ruler [[Alauddin Khalji]] ordered a mass massacre of the "New Muslims" ([[Mongols]] who had recently converted to [[Islam]]), after some Mongol ''[[emir|amirs]]'' of [[Delhi]] conspired to kill him. According to chronicler [[Ziauddin Barani]], 20,000 or 30,000 Mongols were killed as a result of this order.

== Background ==
The [[Khalji dynasty]] of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] was of [[Turco-Afghan]] ethnicity and had fought several wars against the [[Mongol invasions of India#Chagatai Khanate vs. the Khaljis|Mongol invaders]] from Central Asia. In 1292, the Delhi Sultan [[Jalaluddin Khalji]] had permitted several thousand Mongols to settle in his empire after they converted to [[Islam]].{{sfn|Bowman|2005|p=267}} These Mongol converts were called New Muslims (or Neo-Muslims), and by 1311, more than 10,000 of them lived in the capital [[Delhi]] alone.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} Several of them served in the Delhi army, and during the 1299 Gujarat campaign of Jalaluddin's successor Alauddin, some of them had staged an [[Alauddin Khalji's conquest of Gujarat#Mutiny near Jalore|unsuccessful mutiny]].{{sfn|Lal|1950|p=87}} After facing [[Rebellions against Alauddin Khalji|three other rebellions]] (not by Mongols), Alauddin had taken several measures to prevent further rebellions, including [[prohibition]] and confiscation of wealth from his subjects.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|pp=350-351}} His administration had greatly reduced salaries and ''[[inamdar (feudal title)|inam]]s'' (feudal land grants) of the Mongol ''[[emir|amirs]]'', and some of them had lost their employment.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} All these factors caused discontent among the leading Mongols of Delhi.{{sfn|Lal|1950|p=295}}

== Conspiracy against Alauddin ==
In 1310-1311, Alauddin had sent his general [[Malik Kafur]] on a campaign to the southern [[Hoysala]] and [[Pandya]] kingdoms. During [[Malik Kafur's invasion of the Pandya kingdom|Kafur's invasion]] of the Pandya kingdom, his Mongol commander Abachi (or Abaji Mughal) conspired to betray the imperial forces and to kill Kafur. The plot failed, and Abachi was brought as a prisoner to Delhi, where Alauddin ordered him to be [[execution|executed]].{{sfn|Jackson|2003|p=174}}

Abachi's execution prompted the already resentful Mongols to conspire against Alauddin. The conspirators made a plan to kill Alauddin when he would come out to fly his [[hawk]]s, wearing a cloak without any armour. Alauddin's attendants at this time would be unarmed, so the Mongols thought that a contingent of 200-300 Mongol horsemen could easily overpower them. The conspirators planned to set up a government after killing Alauddin.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} They believed that the general public would support them for liberating the people from Alauddin's tyranny.{{sfn|Lal|1950|p=295}}

== Alauddin's order ==
Before the Mongol ''amirs'' could put their plan into action, Alauddin's agents discovered the conspiracy. Alauddin then issued a confidential order, instructing his royal officers to kill all the Mongol men in his empire on a specified day.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} The wives and children of the victims were to be handed over to the assassins.{{sfn|Lal|1950|p=295}} This event has been mentioned by the 14th century chroniclers [[Ziauddin Barani]] and [[Isami (historian)|Isami]].{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} The later chronicler [[Yahya bin Ahmad Sirhindi|Yahya]] also mentions the event in ''Tarikh-i-Mubarakshahi'', but he confuses it with the [[Alauddin Khalji's conquest of Gujarat#Mutiny near Jalore|Mongol mutiny]] during Alauddin's Gujarat campaign.{{sfn|Jackson|2003|p=174}}

A manuscript of Barani's ''Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi'' states that Alauddin's order was to kill the New Muslims who held ''[[jagir]]s'' (feudal land grants). However, the term ''jagir'' was not used in Barani's days, and seems to be a copyist's addition. Alauddin ordered ''all'' New Muslim men of Delhi Sultanate to be killed.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}} According to Barani, 20,000 or 30,000 Mongol men were massacred as a result of Alauddin's orders.{{sfn|Jackson|2003|p=174}} Their women and children became destitute. Most of the victims were unaware of the conspiracy against Alauddin.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=418}}

According to historian [[Peter Jackson (historian)|Peter Jackson]], the victims of this massacre may have included Ali Beg and Tartaq, the Mongol commanders who had led the [[Mongol invasion of India, 1305|1305 Mongol invasion of India]].{{sfn|Jackson|2003|p=174}} Isami states that after being defeated and imprisoned, they had been recruited into Alauddin's service (probably because of their high ranks), but they were later killed on Alauddin's orders.{{sfn|Saksena|1992|p=393}}{{sfn|Lal|1950|p=170}}

'''Gawnaha railway station''' (also '''Gaunaha''') is a small railway station on [[Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line]] in [[West Champaran district]], [[Bihar]].

'''Jalalpur''' is a village located in [[Zamania]] tehsil of [[Ghazipur district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]], India. The village was originally a part of Dewaitha but was later made into a separate village. The village derived its name from Jalaluddin Khan who was a child of Wasil Khan (First Pradhan and Raja of Dewaitha). Wasil Khan was referred to{{by whom|date=February 2021}} as the most charitable and helping person of Dewaitha and nearby villages. The name Jalalpur was kept in honour of Wasil Khan who was father of Jalaluddin Khan. It is said that Wasil Khan and his brothers bought land and after some year donated almost [[Acre|150 acres]] of land to poor people for the establishment of this village so the people named the village after Wasil Khan's son, Jalaluddin Khan. Jalaluddin Khan also served as the Pradhan of Dewaitha. The village of Jalalpur was previously known as Babhanpura, a large population of Brhaman family's also here who shifted here in 1950s and bought land from poor families who went to the cities. Much of the land donated by Wasil Khan and his brother was owned by Braahman and Rajput families of nearby villages.<ref>{{Cite web|title="Bhulekh"|url=http://upbhulekh.gov.in/public/public_ror/Public_ROR.jsp}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title="2011 census of India"|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/}}</ref>
