[[Image:1844 Map of Fort William and Esplanade.jpg|thumb|Plan (top-view) of Fort William, c. 1844]]

There are two Fort Williams. The original fort was built in the year 1696 by the [[British East India Company]] under the orders of [[John Goldsborough|Sir John Goldsborough]] which took a decade to complete. The permission was granted by [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]].<ref>Sudip Bhattacharya, Unseen Enemy: The English, Disease, and Medicine in Colonial Bengal, 1617 – 1847, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 30 Jun 2014, p.54</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.makemytrip.com/travel-guide/kolkata/fort-william-monuments.html|title=Fort William Kolkata India - History of Fort William|website=www.makemytrip.com|access-date=2018-12-27|archive-date=10 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410174854/https://www.makemytrip.com/travel-guide/kolkata/fort-william-monuments.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Charles Eyre|Sir Charles Eyre]] started construction near the bank of the [[Hooghly River]] with the South-East Bastion and the adjacent walls.

[[John Beard (colonial administrator)|John Beard]], Eyre's successor, added the North-East Bastion in 1701, and in 1702 started the construction of the Government House ('''Factory''', see [[Factory (trading post)]]) at the centre of the fort. Construction ended in 1706.<ref name=fort>{{cite book|title=Forts of India|last=Verma|first=Amrit|year=1985|publisher=The Director of Publication Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India|location=New Delhi|pages=101–3|isbn=81-230-1002-8}}</ref> The original building had two stories and projecting wings. In 1756, the [[Nawab of Bengal]], [[Siraj Ud Daulah]], attacked the Fort, temporarily conquered the city, and changed its name to '''Alinagar'''. This led the British to build a new fort in the [[Maidan (Kolkata)|Maidan]]. [[Robert Clive]] started rebuilding the fort in 1758, after the [[Battle of Plassey]] (1757); construction was completed in 1781 at a cost of approximately two [[1,000,000|million]] [[Pound sterling|pounds]]. The area around the Fort was cleared, and the Maidan became "the Lungs of Kolkata". It stretches for around 3 km in the north–south direction and is around 1 km wide.<ref name=fort/> The headquarters of the [[Indian Ordnance Factories]] was established in 1775 at Fort William.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ddpdoo.gov.in/pages/history |title=History | Directorate of Ordnance (Coordination and Services) | Government of India |publisher=Ddpdoo.gov.in |date= |accessdate=2022-08-11 |archive-date=19 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220119022053/http://ddpdoo.gov.in/pages/history |url-status=live }}</ref>

Today, Fort William is the property of the [[Indian Army]]. The headquarters of [[Eastern Command (India)|Eastern Command]] is based there, with provisions for accommodating 10,000 army personnel. The Army guards it heavily, and civilian entry is restricted.<ref name=fort/>

Much of Fort William is unchanged, but St Peter's Church, which used to serve as a chaplaincy centre for the British citizens of Kolkata, is now a library for the troops of HQ Eastern Command. A major part of the land parcel is home to the family of Army.

A '''war memorial''' has been created at the entrance of the fort, and the fort also houses a museum which displays artifacts from the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], especially those related to the battles in the Eastern sector and the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]].<ref>{{cite news|date=16 December 2013|title=Memories of 1971 Bangladesh War come alive in Army museum|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/memories-of-1971-bangladesh-war-come-alive-in-army-museum/articleshow/27460220.cms|newspaper=Economic Times|access-date=11 June 2020|archive-date=27 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221227130746/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/memories-of-1971-bangladesh-war-come-alive-in-army-museum/articleshow/27460220.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=17 December 2013|title=Indian Army to throw parts of Eastern Command HQ open for public|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/indian-army-to-throw-parts-of-eastern-command-hq-open-for-public/articleshow/73275423.cms|newspaper=Economic Times|access-date=11 June 2020|archive-date=25 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225073745/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/indian-army-to-throw-parts-of-eastern-command-hq-open-for-public/articleshow/73275423.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Presidency of Fort William===
{{Main|Bengal Presidency}}

==Structure==
The Fort is built of brick and mortar in the shape of an irregular octagon with an area of {{cvt|5|sqkm}}. Five of its sides face landward, and three towards the [[Hooghly River]]. The design is that of a [[star fort]], suited to defence against [[cannon]] firing solid shot, and dates from before the advent of explosive shells. A dry [[moat]] {{convert|9|m}} deep and {{cvt|15|m}} broad surrounds the fort. The moat can be flooded but is designed as an area in which to use [[enfilade]] (or flanking) fire against any attackers reaching the walls. There are six gates: ''Chowringhee'', ''Plassey'', ''Calcutta'', ''Water Gate'', ''St Georges'' and the ''Treasury Gate''. There are similar forts at places like [[Thalassery]] in [[Kerala]].<ref>Nandakumar Koroth, ''History of Forts in North Malabar''</ref>{{full citation needed|date=September 2018}}

'''National Security Database''' is reportedly an official accreditation program in [[India]], awarded to information respected cybersecurity experts with proven skills to protect the country's National Critical Infrastructure and economy.

Under the program, reportedly developed by the [[Information Sharing and Analysis Center]] (ISAC), in support with the [[Government of India]], professionals can apply for the program by clearing a technical lab examination and [[Psychometric Test|psychometric test]]. Program alumni reportedly become instrumental in a pool of ethical defence-testing hackers tasked with fixing the weakness of organizational systems in case of large [[cyberattack]]s.

==History==

The project was conceived after the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]] to protect India's National Critical Infrastructure and [[Cyberspace]]. The program was founded by Rajshekhar Murthy,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jammag.com/newjam/careers/n/showart.php?art_id%3D451 |title=JAI VIRU(S) |website=www.jammag.com |access-date=November 18, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111021072710/http://www.jammag.com/newjam/careers/n/showart.php?art_id=451 |archive-date=October 21, 2011 }}</ref> under a non-profit [[Non-profit laws of India|section 25 company]], 'Information Sharing and Analysis Center', supported by the highly specialised technical intelligence agency [[National Technical Research Organisation|NTRO]], run under the Government of India.

Earlier, the program was announced as a pilot at the International Malware Conference, [[MalCon]], in 2010 in Mumbai, where Indian Government officials reportedly asked Indian hackers to learn Chinese.<ref>{{cite web |author=J Dey Date: 2010-12-05 Place: Mumbai |url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/dec/051210-ethical-hackers-chinese-lessons-red-attacks-mumbai.htm |title=Ethical hackers asked to learn Chinese to beat red attacks |publisher=Mid-day.com |date=2010-12-05 |access-date=2013-05-16 |archive-date=2012-09-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120921005418/http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/dec/051210-ethical-hackers-chinese-lessons-red-attacks-mumbai.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=kohi10 |url=http://kohi10.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/got-mad-hacking-skillz-speak-chinese/ |title=Got Mad Hacking Skillz?

==Program launch==
The program was released on 26 November,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.techgoss.com/Story/3921S14-NSD-launch-in-Mumbai.aspx |title=techgoss.com |publisher=techgoss.com |date=2011-11-09 |access-date=2013-05-16 |archive-date=2021-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211008094546/http://www.techgoss.com/Story/3921S14-NSD-launch-in-Mumbai.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> the same date as of the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|2008 Mumbai Attacks]], at the International Malware Conference, [[Malcon|MalCon]], at JW Marriott, Mumbai. The program was inaugurated by Shri [[Sachin Pilot|Sachin pilot]], Minister of State in the [[Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies|Ministry of Communications and Information Technology]].

==Access restrictions==
The empanelment in the database can only be applied by Indian citizens, and limited access is available to the Industry to benefit from a list of credible experts. However, most of the database access is restricted to supporting Indian government organisations.

==Debate==
The program is largely believed to identify professional, ethical hackers and security experts by the government of India to protect its critical infrastructure and cyberspace. IT Minister [[Kapil Sibal]] has reportedly expressed the need for a community of ethical hackers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-11-16/news/30405872_1_cyber-security-kapil-sibal-community-of-ethical-hackers |title=We need a community of ethical hackers, says IT minister Kapil Sibal – Economic Times |work=The Economic Times |date=2011-11-16 |access-date=2013-05-16 |archive-date=2013-12-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227073421/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-11-16/news/30405872_1_cyber-security-kapil-sibal-community-of-ethical-hackers |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Alok Vijayant, director of the information dominance group at the [[National Technical Research Organisation]], quoted<ref name="outlookindia1">{{cite web |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?279001 |title=Our Ether Warriors | Debarshi Dasgupta |magazine=Outlook|location=New Delhi |access-date=2013-05-16 |archive-date=2013-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131210165925/http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?279001 |url-status=live }}</ref> in an interview with India's top weekly magazine ''[[Outlook India|Outlook]]'', that NSD should not be "trivialised" by describing it as just a group of hackers. "Supported by the government and the industry, NSD is a good initiative since it will provide a ready-aid database of the most credible security professionals. This is more so because [[information security]] is a domain where individuals have the skills, not companies, to move from one firm to another regularly..

==Official support to the project==
NSD is officially endorsed by the multiple Indian Government organisations, such as [[Indian Computer Emergency Response Team|CERT-IN]] and [[National Technical Research Organisation|NTRO]], for the stated National objectives with recognition of the foundation and declared support for the work being done. The collaboration is open, and all supporting organisations who need to access the database can do so with a formal MoU with the body.

==Industry and community contribution==
Various organisations are actively participating and supporting the National Security Database. Notable organisations having voluntary representations governing the NSD advisory panel at a national level include the HoneyNet India Chapter, Microsoft India and the country's oldest security conference clubhack.

==Current speciality domains of the NSD==
The National Security Database program has the following speciality domains under which professionals can apply for empanelment:

# Information security compliance and penetration testing
# Reverse engineering
# Web application security
# Malware research and analysis
# Exploit development
# Mobile application security
# Digital forensic analysis
# Telecom security (by Invitation)
# Banking security (by Invitation)

In a quote with ''Outlook'' magazine, the director of ISAC, Rajshekhar Murthy, stated<ref name="outlookindia1"/> that it is necessary to have people who are not only competent, but also have a high degree of trustworthiness and integrity. "The selection process will involve examination of references, technical skills, criminal history, and even psychological assessment to generate a credit report for security clearance".

Anwar Ratol

2026-04-10T05:09:41Z

JyotikaSBaliarsingh: created info.

{{short description|Variety of mango}}
{{Infobox cultivar
| name = "Mangifera" 'Anwar Ratol"
| genus = [[Mangifera]]
| species = [[Mangifera indica]]
| cultivar = "Anwar Ratol"
| origin = [[Rataul]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]
| image =

}}
'''Anwar Ratol''' (sometimes spelt '''Anwar Rataul''') is a small, yellow variety of [[mango]] known for its sweetness and fiberlessness. It is sometimes called the 'mini powerhouse'. It is cultivated in the [[Punjab]] and [[Sindh]] regions of [[Pakistan]], and near the village of [[Rataul]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is very sweet in taste with less fiber.<ref name="hindubusiness" />

== History ==
Anwar Ratol was first cultivated near [[Rataul]], a village in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Sheikh Mohd Afaq Faridi, a [[Muslims|Muslim]] farmer returned to the village after completing his inter college in 1905, he noticed a young mango tree near one of the farms. He asked a gardener to graft the plant, and in a year's time, four mango trees sprouted. Years later, Afaq Faridi resigned from his job and devoted his life to this ‘sweet mission’. After his marriage, he set up a mango nursery that he called Shohra-e-afaq in 1928 and got it registered in 1935. Through grafting and cultivation, he nurtured this variety and later named it Anwar Rataul in honor of a family member.<ref name="hindubusiness">{{Cite web|last=Brara|first=Sarita|title=Small, sweet and succulent with history|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/specials/india-interior/small-sweet-and-succulent-with-history/article8626499.ece|access-date=2020-07-22|website=@businessline|language=en}}</ref> In 1947 after partition, a family member took sample plants to Pakistan and planted this mango breed in the [[Multan]] region. The variety became famous, and symbol of pride for Pakistan.<ref name="hindubusiness" />

== Variations ==
There are two variations of this mango:

The early season variety is fragile and prone to the climate elements. Much of the crop is destroyed by strong wind and heavy rain, but it is also the most popular and sweeter of the two varieties. Its growing season is very short - just a few weeks in May and June.

The late season variety is more stable, with a thicker skin and is less sweet. It grows in July and August.

== "Mango diplomacy" ==
Since 1981, Pakistan has been sending Anwar Ratol mangoes to heads of state and diplomats as part of its "mango diplomacy" to promote their mangoes around the world and create better relations with other countries like [[Australia–Pakistan relations|Australia]] and [[India–Pakistan relations|India]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Prakash|first=Om|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UAc_Pp6ahK8C&q=Anwar+Ratol|title=A Tryst with Mango: Retrospect, Aspects, Prospects|date=2005|publisher=APH Publishing|isbn=978-81-7648-912-6|language=en|page=28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Diplomats fascinated by Pakistan mangoes, share fondness on social media|url=https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/pakistan/diplomats-fascinated-by-pakistan-mangoes-share-fondness-on-social-media-1.72409709|access-date=2020-07-22|website=gulfnews.com|language=en}}</ref>

==Geographical indication==
It was awarded the [[List of geographical indications in India|Geographical Indication]] (GI) status tag from the [[Geographical Indication Registry (India)|Geographical Indications Registry]] under the [[Government of India|Union Government of India]] on 14 September 2021 (valid until 4 April 2030).<ref>{{cite news |title=CISH helps Rataul mangoes get GI tag |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/lucknow-news/cish-helps-rataul-mangoes-get-gi-tag-101634225568932.html#:~:text=Lucknow%20%3A%20The%20famous%20Rataul%20mango,held%20in%20Varanasi%20on%20Tuesday.&text=The%20mango%20got%20its%20name%20Rataul%20from%20the%20village%20where%20it%20originated. |access-date=13 October 2024 |agency=Hindustan Times}}</ref>

Rataul Mango Producers Association from Rataul proposed the GI registration of the Rataul Mango. After filing the application in 2010, the fruit was granted the GI tag in 2021 by the Geographical Indication Registry in [[Chennai]], making the name "Rataul Mango" exclusive to the mangoes grown in the region.<ref>{{cite web |title=Geographical Indications Intellectual Property India |url=https://search.ipindia.gov.in/GIRPublic/Application/Details/206 |publisher=Intellectual Property India |access-date=12 October 2024}}</ref> It thus became the second mango variety from Uttar Pradesh after [[Malihabadi Dusseheri Mango|Malihabadi Dussheri Mango]] and the 34th type of goods from Uttar Pradesh to earn the GI tag.

==Plot==
The film starts in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] where a [[Pakistani]] [[UN Peace Keeping Forces]] reaches a building where Gangsters are hiding. As the counter insurgency operation begins, the insurgents open fire. The team is stuck in cross firing and calls for reinforcements. At that time, an [[India]]n UN Peace Keeping Forces reaches there and guns down all the militants rescues the contingent. The leader of the contingent is Colonel Mahadevan. He meets the leader of the Pakistani contingent, whose name is Col. Ajmal Raja Akram. He reveals that he is the son of Lt. Col Mohd.Akhram Raja. At a function to honour the [[UN Peace Keeping Forces]], Ajmal reveals that his father was killed in the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]]. On hearing about this, Col. Mahadevan reveals that his father, Major Sahadevan, killed Ajmal's father.

The story shifts to 1971 when [[Bangladesh]] was fighting for independence from [[Pakistan]]. On 3 December 1971, Indian airfields are attacked in retaliation to which the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Indira Gandhi]] announces war. After the announcement, the entire army is rallied, and leaves are cancelled. The war starts when the [[Pakistan Army Armoured Corps]] attack Indian positions at the Basantar river. The Indians are not prepared and face a defeat. The [[Pakistani Army]] takes many [[POWs]]. The prisoners are tortured by the army men. At the same time, Raja notices this and reprimands his senior officer for violating the [[Geneva Convention]] which state that POWs should be treated like guests to which his senior officer is not happy.

Later, the Indians launch a full offensive against the Pakistanis in which one of their best tank commander Chinmay is martyred. On seeing Chinmay's face, Raja remarks that such a young boy had destroyed six tanks. He declares ceasefire to let the [[Indian Army]] collect the body. On seeing Chinmay's death, the Indian Army vows to take revenge. The [[Battle of Basantar]] begins with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, Raja and Sahadevan face each other in a one on one battle, which is won by Sahadevan. At the same time, Pakistan surrenders unconditionally, and the official ceasefire to end the war is declared. Even though India had won the battle, Sahadevan is deeply disturbed by the deaths of the Indian soldiers and the [[Pakistani]] soldiers. He resolves that there should be no more wars as it leads to death and destruction.

In the final credits scene, we can see an aged retired Brigadier Sahadevan narrating this story to his little grandchildren. He tells them that nothing can be gained through wars or conflicts.

=== Development ===

The film is set in two time periods, with Mohanlal playing both [[Major Mahadevan|Colonel Mahadevan]] and his father Major Sahadevan (later brigadier) . The film will also see his transition from a [[Major (rank)|Major]] to a [[Colonel (India)|Colonel]]. The film is based on a true incident and explores the friendship and life of two army officials. Mohanlal will be appearing in his fourth film as Mahadevan after ''[[Keerthi Chakra (film)|Keerthi Chakra]]'' (2006), ''[[Kurukshetra (2008 film)|Kurukshetra]]'' (2008), and ''[[Kandahar (2010 film)|Kandahar]]'' (2010). Ravi said in an interview in October 2015, that unlike the previous films in the series, ''Beyond Borders'' will be more like his last military film ''[[Picket 43]]'' (2015), that "the focus will be on the individuals rather than the war, and will portray the relationships that are forged during the war".<ref>{{cite news|last=Sidhardhan|first=Sanjith|title=Mohanlal in Major Ravi's next!|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/Mohanlal-in-Major-Ravis-next/articleshow/49506103.cms|accessdate=14 January 2017|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=24 October 2015}}</ref> Rahul Subramaniam, [[Siddharth Vipin]], and [[Najim Arshad]] is composing the music for the film.

Singh's character was modeled after a real life soldier in the [[Frontier Force Regiment|Pakistan Frontier Force Regiment]] during the 1971 war. Ravi said, it is not a negative role that he is also fighting for his country and will have equal importance as Mahadevan.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sidhardhan|first=Sanjith|title=Arunoday Singh's debut in M-town as a Pak army officer|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/Arunoday-Singhs-debut-in-M-town-as-a-Pak-army-officer/articleshow/53616639.cms|accessdate=19 January 2017|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=10 August 2010}}</ref> On 22 October 2016, [[Telugu cinema|Telugu]] actor [[Allu Sirish]] himself confirmed his role in the film by announcing in [[Twitter]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Hooli|first=Shekhar H.|title=After Allu Arjun, his brother Sirish to make Malayalam debut with Mohanlal's 1971: Beyond Borders|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/after-allu-arjun-his-brother-sirish-make-malayalam-debut-mohanlals-1971-beyond-borders-700895|accessdate=18 January 2017|work=[[International Business Times]]|date=23 October 2016}}</ref> He plays [[Lieutenant]] (Lt.)

Uberoi graduated from [[University College London]] with a degree in electrical engineering and telecommunications in 1955. A chance meeting with the sociologist [[Basil Bernstein]] changed the course of his career from engineering to anthropology.<ref name=":3" />

Uberoi studied anthropology for his masters (1955–1958) at the [[University of Manchester]] under the anthropologists [[Max Gluckman]], [[Victor Turner]], and Pamela Watson.<ref name=":3" /> His graduate work at Manchester culminated in the publication of his first book, ''Politics of the [[Kula Ring]]: An Analysis of the Findings of [[Bronislaw Malinowski]]'' (Manchester University Press), in 1962.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Politics of the Kula Ring an Analysis of the Findings of Bronislaw Malinowski by Jp Singh Uberoi - AbeBooks |url=https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/politics-of-the-kula-ring-an-analysis-of-the-findings-of-bronislaw-malinowski/author/jp-singh-uberoi/ |access-date=7 January 2024 |website=www.abebooks.com |language=en}}</ref>

=== Research ===
Uberoi was instrumental in establishing sociology as a discipline of study in post-colonial India. At a time when the prevalent thinking focused on understanding India as a society, he focused his studies outside of India, primarily focusing on studying European modernity, until the 1980s. As a social anthropologist, he did much of his fieldwork in Afghanistan, studying the [[Tajiks]] of the region. As a head of the department of sociology at the Delhi School of Economics, he is credited for distinguishing the department by its research rigor and quality of teaching.<ref name=":0" /> He established a European Studies Program at the Delhi School of Economics' Department of Sociology, aiming to study western theories and practices from an Indian perspective.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tyabji |first=Khalid |date=7 January 2023 |title=Remembering Prof. JPS Uberoi as a Scholar, Mentor, and Teacher |url=https://thewire.in/the-arts/remembering-prof-jps-uberoi-as-a-scholar-mentor-and-teacher |access-date=7 January 2024 |website=The Wire}}</ref>

'''Alakh Niranjan''' (अलख निरञ्जन) is a term used by [[Nath]] Yogis as a synonym for [[Creator deity|Creator]], and to describe the characteristics of God and the Self, known as the [[Atman (Hinduism)|Atman]]. ''Alakh'' means "unseen" and ''niranjan'' means "unblemished". Also spelled as, "Alekh".

The original Sanskrit term ''Alakhshya'' means "one that can not be perceived"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.5:1:413.apte |title=Revised and enlarged edition of Prin.

==Alakh Niranjan in Yoga tradition==
Alakh means '''A-Lakhshana''' which means beyond identifying features (lakhshana) or attributes. It refers to Attributeless God or [[Nirguna]] [[Brahman]] in here. This idea comes from ancient Yoga traditions originating in Swetashwetara Upanishad. This particular [[Upanishad]] deals with Yoga, [[Vedantic]] [[Monotheism]]. It describes the Supreme Being as [[Sat-Chit-Ananda]].
–
Legend has it, that the slogan or elating cry for the Supreme Being was first coined by [[Matsyendranath]]. Matsyendra is popularly regarded as the 'second [[Guru]]' of Nath Yoga Cult after Lord Shiva as [[Adinath Shiva|Adinath]]. He first used the words "Alakh Niranjan murmu" to denote God as perceived by a Yoga adept in known history. His disciple is known as ''MahaYogi Gorakhnath'', also known as ''[[Gorakshanath]]'', without whose mention, Nath Yoga becomes unimaginable. It is Gorakhnath and Matsyendranath who popularised Kaya Sadhana throughout known limits of India and beyond.

Gorakhnath actually organised and assimilated most Yogis of the [[Hatha Yoga]] and [[Tantra]] Cult into the enormous Nath tradition. The city of [[Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh|Gorakhpur]] in North India is named after the legendary Yogi. 'Alakh Niranjan' became a very popular name for God all over India during and after Gorakhnath's time. Later first [[Sikh Guru]], [[Nanak]] used this holy name to denote God.
* Famous works by Guru Matsyendranath: ''Kaulayogini Tantra''.
* Guru Gorakhnath's celebrated works are ''[[Gorakhsha Samhita]]'', ''Yoga-Bija''.
* Guru Nanak's works include Japji Sahib.

ADESH ADESH –
Whenever Yogis or Nath-Yogis meet, they greet each other with the salutation “Adesh-Adesh!” Gorakshanath the Maha Yogi wrote:

:''Aatmetu paramaatmeti jiivatmeti vicaarane''
:''Trayaanaam aikya-samshutir asdes’s iti kiirtitah''

::''In our relative thought we distinguish between Atman, Paramatman, and Jiva.''
::''The Truth is that these three are one and a realization of it is called [[Adesha]].''

Thus the yogi in his contact with others expressed only the simple truth in the words, “Adesh-Adesh!” It is a foundation stone on which all spiritual light and attainment must be erected. It is the first truth to attain the First Lord

==Film adaptions==
Alakh Niranjan was adapted into Indian films in 1940, 1950, and in 1975 two movies based on the same story of Matsyendranath and Goraknath were simultaneously. 1st one being Telugu movie [[Maya Maschindra (1975 film)|''Maya Maschindra'']], directed by [[Babubhai Mistry]], starring N. T. Rama Rao, Vanisri and a 2nd Hindi movie directed by [[S. N. Tripathi]] starring [[Abhi Bhattacharya]] and [[Kanan Kaushal]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=Alakh+Niranjan Alakh Niranjan] [[IMDb]]</ref>

==Reception==
Jeevi of ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' wrote that "The film is a let down for movie lovers who expected another good film from Ravi Babu. The assets of the film are artwork by Bhupesh and music by Chakri. The main drawback of the film is insipid screenplay, lack of nativity and artificial characterization. The scenes that depict sex are bland in the film".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-ammailu.html|title=Telugu Cinema - Review - Ammailu Abbailu - Ravi Babu T - Chakri - Anandi Arts|website=[[idlebrain.com]]|last=jeevi|access-date=1 March 2022}}</ref> A critic from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "It is not a film to be taken seriously nor to get entertained. .

Direction is great and he showed his talent in his debut movie Allari and he used the talent in this too. First half of the film is full of comedy but the Director has lost the grip in second half. One gets confused about the Sentiment scenes in the second half, if the scene is sentiment or comedy.

== Plot ==
{{more plot|date=June 2022}}
Chikkayya works for an aged landlord called Wodeyar in a village in Mandya. Wodeyar is extremely wealthy and his family is hereditarily respected in their village & surroundings. Chikkayya has great respect and affection towards Wodeyar and he takes care of Chikkayya and looks after him as his own son. Wodeyar hates his eldest daughter Gouraa and her husband for unknown reasons. 15 years earlier, he had ostracised them and gave 50% of his then wealth to Gouraa. Parvati, Wodeyar's younger daughter, arrives at the village after completing her education in the United States. After a series of incidents, Parvati begins to love Chikkayya but he does not reciprocate, thinking that this would be a betrayal to Wodeyar's trust in him. But eventually, Chikkayya too understands Parvati's love and reciprocates.

One day, suddenly, Parvati accuses Chikkayya of trying to rape her. This angers Wodeyar, and he slaps Chikkayya and sends him away from his home. At this time, Chikkayya's father Muthayya is released from jail after 14 years and comes to meet Wodeyar. Muthayya also worked under Wodeyar earlier and was a trusted aide, but Parvati gets angry at seeing Muthayya and asks him to leave the house because he had been jailed for murdering Wodeyar's wife Lakshmi. Parvati also reveals that she staged a drama to send Chikkayya away from her father. Wodeyar is shocked knowing the truth and feels bad that he misunderstood Chikkayya, believing his daughter's deception. Chikkayya deeply hates his father Muthayya since childhood as he believes Muthayya killed Lakshmi for money. He refuses to accept his father into his house and Wodeyar is forced to come to his rescue, and tells Chikkayya the truth, after apologising to Chikkayya for the earlier incident.

Muthayya was a childhood best friend and loyal servant in Wodeyar's home. Wodeyar and his family treat Muthayya as one of their own, despite others disregarding Muthayya due to his lower caste. Lakshmi's younger brother who was then a simple farmer, and his younger brother live with them. Since Wodeyar does not want to send his daughter to a place far off, her wedding is arranged with Lakshmi's brother, with an agreement that he will stay in Wodeyar's house. On the day of the wedding, Lakshmi learns about her brother's affair with another woman and decides to cancel the wedding; Her brother grievously injures Lakshmi, hides her in a room, and proceeds to the wedding stage. However, Muthayya finds Lakshmi and learns the truth about her brother. The wedding is over before he can prevent it, so he does not want him to go to jail as that would impact Gouraa's life. Lakshmi dies from her injuries and Muthayya admits that he had murdered her for money and is arrested by the police. This leads Gouraa and Parvati to hate him and his family. Wodeyar does not believe this, so he meets Muthayya in jail and asks him for the truth. Muthayya tells the truth to Wodeyar and is promised that Wodeyar will not reveal this truth to anyone else as Gouraa would be alone then.

Wodeyar agrees but sends his son in law away from his house. Wodeyar brings the then-12 year old boy Chikkayya to his house to care for him and the entire family protests. His son in law alleges that Chikkayya may be an illegitimate son of Wodeyar, resulting in such deep affection. Deeply angered by these words, Wodeyar banishes his son-in-law. Gouraa also leaves his home without knowing the truth and understanding her father.

The story returns to the present, and the wedding of Parvati's and Gouraa's brother in law is planned. On the wedding day, Gouraa's husband's mistress comes back to him with her brother saying that he wishes to marry his daughter. During this event, the truth about Lakshmi's death is revealed which is witnessed by Gouraa. Her husband tries to kill Gouraa so that the wedding would not stop and they can take all of Wodeyar's properties. But, Muthayya comes to Gouraa's aid and saves her. Gouraa tearfully apologises to him for misunderstanding him as Lakshmi's murderer. Gouraa reveals the truth to everybody during the wedding. Her husband then tries to kill Gouraa with a sword but Muthayya saves her but instead he gets stabbed. Gouraa's husband is killed by his brother with the sword, who felt remorseful after discovering the truth that his elder brother killed their own sister Lakshmi. After learning the truth, Parvati also apologizes to Muthayya who hands over her to Wodeyar and succumbs to his fatal wound. Wodeyar then cries in front of Muthayya's dead body and also dies.

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2025}}

The '''siege of Santhome (1558)''' was a military campaign led by [[Rama Raya]] of Vijayanagara against the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] settlement of [[Santhome]] of Mylapore. Portuguese records provide limited details, Indian sources suggest that [[Rama Raya]]’s forces, numbering around 500,000 troops, surrounded the city while a separate [[Vijayanagara]] contingent besieged [[Goa]] to prevent reinforcements. The Portuguese opted for negotiation over resistance. A ransom of 100,000 pagodas was imposed, and five leading citizens were taken hostage until full payment was made.<ref name="aps"/><ref name="bps"/><ref name="fps"/><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/forgotten_empire_vijayanagar_-_robert_sewell/page/n247/mode/1up?view=theater |title=Forgotten Empire Vijayanagar - Robert Sewell|pages=193–194}}</ref>

==Background==
The Franciscan Friars, who had been present in [[Santhome]] and [[Negapatam]] from the outset, were responsible for the desecration of several [[Hindu temples]] and the destruction of idols, replacing them with [[Christian churches]] and chapels. By 1542, they had constructed two churches in [[Negapatam]] one dedicated to St. Francis and the other to Nossa Senhora da Saude leading to the conversion of around three thousand people to [[Catholicism]]. Shortly after, the Jesuits arrived and continued the Franciscans’ efforts, further expanding missionary activities. The [[Brahmins]] deeply concerned about these actions, brought the matter to the attention of the Regent of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]]. However, he refrained from taking any action against the Portuguese probably because of the need to uphold favorable ties with them, especially to ensure a consistent supply of warhorses, which were vital for the empire’s military campaigns.<ref name="bps">{{Cite book |last=Rev Henry Heras |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.77307/page/n115/mode/1up?view=theater |title=The Aravidu Dynasty Of Vijayanagar |date=1927|pages=67–69}}</ref><ref name="cps">{{Cite book |last=M.h.

==Planning==
In the early summer of 1558, [[Rama Raya]] carefully planned his military campaign, organizing his forces into two divisions. One was placed under his direct command, while the other was entrusted to his cousin, Rama Raya Vitthala, a seasoned warrior who had proven his abilities in the conflicts against [[Travancore]] in 1544 and the [[Pandyas]] in 1549. This contingent, numbering approximately 100,000 troops, included 10,000 cavalry, 100 war elephants, and a limited number of artillery pieces. Accompanying him was the Keladi prince, Dodda Sankanna Nayaka, an experienced commander known for his decisive victory over the rebellious Jambur chief Virupanna. Sankanna Nayaka’s forces consisted of around 20,000 soldiers, 1,000 cavalry, and 50 elephants. Together, their mission was to march toward [[Goa]] focusing their attack on its vulnerable southern approach.<ref name="aps">{{Cite book |last=Unknown |url=https://archive.org/details/journal-21st-issue-2/page/155/mode/1up?view=theater |title=Journal of Indian history and culture |date=2015|pages=156–160}}</ref>

During the first half of the year, Portuguese fleets were occupied in their long voyages across the [[Atlantic]] and [[Indian Oceans]], leaving their territories vulnerable. Viceroy Francisco Barreto, who governed from 1555 to 1558, had no reason to anticipate an attack from [[Vijayanagara]], an ally of the Portuguese. However, this attack was only a diversion. While Vitthala Nayaka led a siege on [[Goa]] Rama Raya commanded the main force, a massive army of nearly 500,000 troops, in a direct assault on [[Santhome]] of Mylapore. Santhome was of great religious importance to the Portuguese making its conquest highly symbolic. Moreover, with Portuguese forces in [[Goa]] occupied by Vitthala Nayaka's offensive, no reinforcements could be dispatched to defend [[Mylapore]].<ref name="aps"/><ref name="fps"/>

==Expedition==
Portuguese chroniclers like Da Couto and Faria y Sousa mention only the campaign against [[Santhome]] claiming that a Portuguese renegade convinced [[Rama Raya]] to launch the attack, aiming to capture its vast riches, estimated at over 2,000,000 gold pagodas. However, the identity of this traitor remains unknown. With an army of half a million soldiers and a formidable artillery force, [[Rama Raya]] advanced toward the city. News of his approach caused panic among the settlers, This led the city’s leaders to gather for a council to decide their course of action. Among them, a merchant named Pero da Taide Inferno advocated for armed resistance against the attack. Others believed that resistance was futile and instead recommended negotiating a settlement.<ref name="aps"/><ref name="bps"/><ref name="fps"/>

Pero da Taide, refusing to support negotiations, departed [[Santhome]] on a ship bound for [[Bengal]]. To appease [[Rama Raya]] four prominent citizens of the city presented him with a gift worth 4,000 cruzados, though its exact details remain unknown. The city itself was lavishly adorned with flowers and fine cloth to welcome the regent. However, instead of entering [[Rama Raya]] established his camp outside and ordered his captains to gather all residents, regardless of age or status, and detain them without harm. The city’s wealth was then presented before him, but it amounted to only 100,000 pardaos far less than expected. Enraged at the deception, he had the renegade executed by trampling under an [[Elephant|elephant]]. He then agreed to release the captives in exchange for a ransom of 100,000 pagodas, with half payable immediately and the rest within six months. To ensure Obedience, he took five prominent citizens as hostages but ordered all confiscated property to be returned to its rightful owners. A notable incident occurred when a silver spoon was reported missing from a house after inquiries the [[Vijayanagara]] captains ensured its return. Satisfied with the outcome, [[Rama Raya]] returned to his capital and later released the hostages pleased with their conduct.<ref name="aps"/><ref name="bps"/><ref name="fps"/>

==Aftermath==
[[Rama Raya]]’s campaign successfully restrained Portuguese aggression, preventing them from engaging in further hostilities for the rest of his rule. No records exist of Portuguese attacks on [[Vijayanagara]]’s vassals until the empire’s eventual downfall. Trade and commerce between the two powers continued unhindered, leading to the growth and prosperity of Portuguese settlements. Missionary activities, which had previously caused tensions, were largely put on hold. the Portuguese focused on strengthening their fortifications, a decision that proved crucial in the years following [[Vijayanagara]]’s collapse. Meanwhile, the empire suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the Deccan Sultans in the [[Battle of Tallikota]] in 1565.<ref name="aps"/>

Rama Raya’s death and the destruction of Vijayanagara’s capital marked the end of the empire’s dominance. Though the kingdom persisted in a weakened state, shifting its capital to Penukonda and later to Chandragiri, it never recovered its former strength. This decline had significant consequences for the Portuguese. They lost a crucial trading partner and no longer enjoyed the autonomy and protection they had benefited from for over fifty years. However, in the immediate aftermath, they faced no direct setbacks. With Vijayanagara no longer a formidable force, the Portuguese were free to expand their influence along the coast without opposition and soon resumed their aggressive maritime activities unchecked by the weakened remnants of the empire.<ref name="aps"/>

==Geography==
[[File:Road on the top of Bhima Dam.jpg|left|thumb|Road over the Bhima Dam]]
The Bhima River on which the Ujjani Dam has been built rises from Bhimashankar hills in the Western Ghats, also known as the [[Sahyadri]] hill range. The river flows for a length of {{convert|725|km|abbr=on}} till it meets the Krishna River (one of the two major river systems in Maharashtra, the other being the [[Godavari River]]) near Raichur in Raichur district in Karnataka. Bhima River Basin has many tributaries of which the major ones are the [[Kundali River]], [[Kumandala River]], [[Ghod river]], Bhama River, [[Indrayani River]], [[Mula River (India)|Mula River]], [[Mutha River]], [[Pavna River]], Bori, Sina, Man, Bhogwati and [[Nira river|Nira]]. The total drainage area of {{convert|48631|km2|abbr=on}} of Bhima River basin, an inter state river basin, covers both Maharashtra (75%) and [[Karnataka]] (25%) states, out of which {{convert|14858|km2|abbr=on}} drains into the Ujjani Reservoir created by the Ujjani Dam. The Upper Bhima River basin is subdivided into three zones namely northern, middle and southern, the main stem of the river is in the middle zone where the Bhima Dam is built, while the southern zone is dominated by five reservoirs. The basin above the dam has intense rural, agricultural, urban and industrial activities. The river basin, which has a slope from west to east has extreme [[Physical geography|physiographic]] and agro-climatic variations. The [[drainage basin]] has rich and fertile agricultural land, and several water resources development projects have been built on its river system. Government of Maharashtra has classified the stretches of the Upper Bhima River for the purpose of various uses as, A-I for drinking water without conventional treatment but after disinfection, A-II Drinking water after conventional treatment followed by disinfection, A-III for fish and wildlife propagation and A-IV for agriculture, industrial cooling and process.<ref name=Shrishti/><ref name=Pune>{{cite web|url=http://envis.maharashtra.gov.in/envis_data/files/envreportPune.pdf|title=Report of Environmental Status of Pune Region|access-date=1 July 2011|publisher=Envis, Government of Maharashtra|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=brit>{{cite web|url=http://geoanalyzer.britannica.com/ebc/article-9357199|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130102131650/http://geoanalyzer.britannica.com/ebc/article-9357199|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 January 2013|title=Bhima River|access-date=30 June 2011|publisher=Britannica Concise article}}</ref> The dam and the reservoir are approachable from [[Pune|Pune city]], which is {{convert|160|km|abbr=on}} away.<ref name=Global/> The dam is about {{convert|5|mi|abbr=on}} upstream of the bridge across the Bhima River on the Pune-Sholapur Road.<ref name=Gazette/>

===Climate===
[[File:Ujjani dam.png|thumb|left|200px|The reservoir as seen from a satellite]]
The basin experiences tropical monsoon climatic conditions. The rainfall is dictated by the southwest monsoon, which varies from {{convert|6000|-|3000|mm|abbr=on}} (from South to North) near the North–South trending mountain range of the basin but drastically drops to {{convert|700|mm|abbr=on}} within a distance of {{convert|70|km|abbr=on}} towards the east. The average annual precipitation of the basin above the dam in the Upper Bhima River Basin (UBB) has been assessed as {{convert|1096|mm|abbr=on}} out of which {{convert|945|mm|abbr=on}} (87%) occurs during the four monsoon months (mid June to mid September). Thereafter, the basin falls under the rain shadow area towards the east with rainfall incidence ranging between {{convert|450|-|600|mm|abbr=on}} and is thus under drought conditions quite frequently.<ref name=Ranade>{{cite web|url=http://www.riversymposium.com/2006/index.php?element=06RANADEVidyanand|title=Participatory Irrigation Management and mini watershed development for well being of the community|author=Vidyanand Ranade|access-date=2 July 2010|publisher=riversymposium.com|year=2006|archive-date=3 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003232158/http://www.riversymposium.com/2006/index.php?element=06RANADEVidyanand|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Hydrology==
Based on rainfall data and other characteristics of the basin, the average annual yield of the Upper Bhima River basin has been assessed as {{convert|7.373|km3|abbr=on}}. Since the Bhima River which is a major tributary of the Krishna River is an interstate river, the flows are shared by the Upper riparian state of Maharashtra with the lower riparian Karnataka state. The [[Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal]], in its award in the year 1976 permitted Maharashtra to use only {{convert|4.753|km3|abbr=on}} from the Upper Bhima River Basin.<ref name=Ranade/> The Bhima or Ujjani dam has a planned annual utilization of {{convert|1.878|km3|abbr=on}} (including evaporation losses).<ref name=Salient/>

The total length of the dam is {{convert|2534|m|abbr=on}}, which comprises a central portion which is the spillway dam of {{convert|602|m|abbr=on}} length, of concrete gravity section of {{convert|56.4|m|abbr=on}} (maximum height above the deepest foundation level). The spillway is flanked by Non Overflow (NOF) concrete gravity dams of {{convert|314|m|abbr=on}} length. Earth dam sections flank the NOF dams on the left and right banks. The volume content of the dams is {{convert|3.320|km3|abbr=on}}. The gross storage capacity created is {{convert|3.320|km3|abbr=on}} at the Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of {{convert|497.58|m|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Salient/> The spillway, structure has an Ogee shaped downstream slope designed to dispose a design flood discharge of {{convert|15717|m3/s|abbr=on}} (the maximum probable flood discharge of {{convert|18013|m3/s|abbr=on}} and a breaching section is provided between the NOF block and the earth dam section, controlled by 41 radial gates of {{convert|12|m|abbr=on}}x{{convert|6.5|m|abbr=on}} size erected over the crest of the dam. In addition, four river sluices (gate controlled) are also provided in the body of the spillway pier numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6 with outlet level at {{convert|470|m|abbr=on}}, with each sluice designed for a discharge capacity of {{convert|60|m3/s|abbr=on}} for silt flushing. The energy dissipation arrangements on the downstream slope of the spillway is in the form of high level and low level slotted roller bucket type. Measuring instruments have been installed in the body of the dam to record and analyse various parameters related to the behaviour of the dam over the years as part of the dam safety programme<ref name=Salient/><ref name=Bhima/> The dam is founded on massive [[basalt]]ic rock formations.

===Reservoir===
[[File:Full doownstream view of the Bhima or Ujjani Dam.jpg|right|thumb|Panoramic view of Ujjani or Bhima Dam and the reservoir]]
The reservoir created by the dam has a water spread area of {{convert|357|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} at the High Flood Level (HFL) and {{convert|336.5|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} at Full Reservoir Level causing submergence of land and houses in 82 villages.<ref name=Salient/><ref name=Bhima/> The reservoir stretches upstream of the dam to a length of around 50 km, and the maximum width of the reservoir is {{convert|8|km|abbr=on}}. The rim of the reservoir periphery measures {{convert|670|km|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Salient/>

As a result of reservoir submergence, realignment of railway line (of the [[Daund]] [[Solapur]] section) to a length of {{convert|33.251|km|abbr=on}}, realignment of [[National Highway (India)|National Highway No. 9]] between Pune and Solapur sector over a length of {{convert|23.4|km|abbr=on}}, and the State Highway between [[Tembhurni]] and [[Karmala]] to the extent of {{convert|15.35|km|abbr=on}} was involved.<ref name=Salient/>

Two years after the commissioning of the project, the reservoir water quality was tested to establish its suitability for various uses. The physical and chemical analysis indicated that the [[pH]] values, free carbon dioxide, total hardness, alkalinity, nitrates, nitrites, chlorides, sulphates, calcium and magnesium were within prescribed limits. Heavy metals, copper and lead were not present. However, during the rainy season, the iron content though high, was found to be within permissible limits. [[Potassium]] and [[ammonia]] were within prescribed safe limits of acceptance for use of stored water for drinking, industrial use and for fish propagation.<ref name=Abbasi>{{Cite book|last=Abbasi|first=Shahid A.|title= Water resources projects and their environmental impacts|pages=178–179|access-date=30 June 2011|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eo44tioUHxgC&q=Fisheries+in+Ujjani+Reservoir&pg=PA178|publisher= Discovery Publishing House|year=2001|isbn= 81-7141-579-2}}</ref> However, since its creation in 1980, it is now recorded that substantial quantity of the untreated sewage is discharged into the streams which flow into the Ujjani Reservoir, particularly in the river stretch close to the Pune city.<ref name=Shrishti/>

The reservoir created by the Ujjani dam is also one of the largest backwaters in [[India]], Since its creation in 1980, the reservoir backwaters attract, every year, a large number of migratory birds (from [[North India]] and other countries); about 100–150 species of [[flamingo]]s and [[cormorants]] are reported.<ref name=Save>{{cite web|url=http://envis.maharashtra.gov.in/envis_data/?q=bird_protection_campaign|title=Ujani Dam: Theme: Save the Birds|access-date=30 June 2011|publisher=Environmental Information Centre, Government of Maharashtra|archive-date=19 December 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121219061736/http://envis.maharashtra.gov.in/envis_data/?q=bird_protection_campaign|url-status=dead}}</ref> The migratory bird species in the Ujjani reservoir have been studied by the Science and Technology Park (STP), a Pune-based institution.

==Benefits==
The Ujjani Dam and its large reservoir provide multi-purpose benefits of irrigation, [[hydroelectric]] power generation, drinking and industrial water supply, and fisheries.<ref name=Salient/>

===Irrigation===
[[File:Irrigation Canal taking off from the dam.jpg|right|thumb|Left bank irrigation canal from the Ujjani Dam]]
Irrigation from the storage created in the reservoir are provided via two irrigation canal systems originating from the dam – The Left Bank Main Canal (LBMC) and The Right Bank Main canal (RBMC) – the LBMC is {{convert|126|km|abbr=on}} long, designed to carry a discharge of {{convert|109|m3/s|abbr=on}} and provides irrigation to a command of {{convert|688.4|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} while the RBMC, which is {{convert|112|km|abbr=on}} long, designed to carry {{convert|42.5|m3/s|abbr=on}} provides irrigation benefits to an area of {{convert|44100|m3/s|abbr=on}} through its network of canal system.<ref name=Salient/>

Bhima to [[Sina River|Sina]] interlink (Jod Kalava) with 21 km long tunnel from Ujjani reservoir is constructed to supply water for vast lands in catchment area of [[Sina River|Sina tributary]].

The storage created by the Ujjani Dam has resulted in the irrigation of {{convert|500|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, particularly in Solapur district, resulting in doubling the yield of [[sorghum]] (jowar) and tripling the yield of [[Peanut|groundnut]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://operations.ifad.org/web/ifad/operations/country/project/tags/india/23/project%20overview|title=Bhima Command Area Development Project |access-date=30 June 2011|publisher=operations.ifad.org}}</ref> Farmers management organizations set up in the command area of the project are an important component of equitable distribution of irrigation under the rotational irrigation water management practice followed in the command.

The lower pond in the pumped storage scheme of operation was built initially itself, soon after commissioning of the dam. The power plant is reported to be providing benefits since then. However, the power generation estimated initially at 105 GWh was expected to reduce to 21 GWh, as water was utilized for irrigation through the RBC and LBC canal systems.<ref name=Salient/>

During the drought year 2015, the inflows into the reservoir were very meagre due to the failure of rains in the catchment area. However, nearly 36 [[tmcft]] dead storage water available in the reservoir could not be used for the dire needs. With minor external modifications to the exiting reversible hydro turbine unit, all the dead storage water can be put to use during the drought years by using the hydro power plant for pumping water into the nearby left canal. Water would be released downstream into the tail pond through the existing river sluice gates. The pen stock of the hydro power unit is extended (less than 100 m long) to connect to the nearby left canal. The hydro power unit is operated in pumping mode to pump water from the tail pond to the left canal when the reservoir level is below the canal's minimum draw down level (MDDL). The pen stock extension piping is detached when water pumping to the canal is not required to restore its normal power generation when the reservoir level is above the left canal's MDDL<ref>{{cite web|url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Ujjani_Dam_D02963|title=Ujjani Dam D02963|access-date=30 June 2016|archive-date=21 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221144932/http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Ujjani_Dam_D02963|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Bird watching==
With the water reservoir of Ujani Dam, Bhigwan is a small town developed on the Pune-Solapur Highway around 105 km from Pune which is on the backwaters of Ujani dam. Bhigwan is famous for [[birdwatching]] especially flamingos and wild life photography.<ref>[http://www.mumbaitravellers.in/1-day-birdwatching-and-photography-at-bhigwan/ Bhigwan]</ref><ref>[http://www.punemirror.in/pune/others/Bhigwan-low-on-flamingos-this-year/articleshow/50097581.cms Bhigwan low on flamingos this year]</ref> It is also known as mini [[Bharatpur district|Bharatpur]].<ref>[http://www.mid-day.com/articles/bhigwan-is-a-new-flock-spot-for-birding-near-mumbai/16912178 Bhigwan is a new flock-spot for birding near Mumbai]</ref> Many kinds of Ducks, Herons, Egrets, Raptors and Waders along with flocks of hundreds of flamingos can be seen. Variety of birds at Bhigwan gives of sighting of almost all the prime bird species there and also creates great photographic opportunities for wildlife photographers. At times, 1,000-1,200 flamingos are seen.<ref>[http://www.placesnearpune.com/2013/02/bird-watching-bhigwan-flamingos/ Bhigwan]</ref> The low rains and low water level has now reduced the number of flamingos over some years. It is a favorite spot for migratory birds, with more than 230 species found here. One can see flamingos, painted storks, bar-headed geese, demoiselle cranes, etc. These birds can be seen in the winter season between December and March. The bird generally migrates via marine routes and adult females depart from the breeding grounds .<ref>[http://www.punemirror.in/pune/others/Birders-at-Bhigwan-get-a-rare-treat/articleshow/51502038.cms Birders at Bhigwan get a rare treat]</ref>

Treaty of Majuli

2025-07-15T20:54:37Z

JyotikaSBaliarsingh: Creating a info...

{{Short description|1563 treaty between Ahom and Koch}}
The '''Treaty of Majuli''' (1563) was settled between the [[Cooch Behar State|Koch]] king [[Nara Narayan]] and the [[Ahom kingdom|Ahom]] king [[Sukhaamphaa]]. The treaty followed a successful campaign against the Ahom kingdom led by [[Chilarai]], the general of the Koch forces and the brother of the king, which resulted in the fall of [[Garhgaon]], the Ahom capital. The fall of the capital resulted in the Ahom kings flight, as well as treason by high Ahom officials including the kings own brother. The Ahom king sued for peace via his emissary, Aikhek Burhagohain. During the peace negotiations Nara Narayan was camped at [[Majuli]].<ref name=nath1989p58>{{harv|Nath|1989|p=58}}</ref> The terms that were finally settled on were:<ref>{{harv|Sarkar|1992|p=80}}</ref>

# The Ahom king would accept Koch overlordship.
# The land on the North bank of the Brahmaputra to the west of [[Subansiri river]]<ref name=nath1989p58/> were to be ceded to the Koch
# Five sons of Ahom nobles were to be handed over as hostage.
# Hand over the elephant Khamring and the horse Paksirai
# The Ahoms were to pay a war indemnity—60 elephants, 60 pieces of clothes, 60 maidens, 300 men, a red royal standard along with gold and silver.

Furthermore, the Koch king stationed three Koch officers as ''rajkhowas''—Ujir Bamun, Tapasvi Laskar and Malamulya Laskar—as well as a garrison at [[Narayanpur, Assam|Narayanpur]] to administer the newly acquired region.
