==Early life and education==
Shetty was born at [[Kinnigoli]], a village in [[Dakshina Kannada]] district of [[Karnataka]]. He was the eighth among nine children of his parents. He decided to become a heart surgeon when he was a school student after hearing about [[Christiaan Barnard]], a South African surgeon who had just performed the world's first heart transplant.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125875892887958111#articleTabs%3Darticle|title=The Henry ford of heart surgery|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|date=25 November 2009|access-date=6 November 2012}}</ref>

Shetty was educated at St. Aloysius High School in Mangalore.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Martina |first1=Mala |title=Notable alumni: This Mangaluru College minted bigwigs like KV Kamath, VG Siddhartha & KL Rahul |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/notable-alumni-this-mangalore-college-minted-bigwigs-like-kv-kamath-vg-siddhartha-kl-rahul/articleshow/70481288.cms?from=mdr |work=The Economic Times |date=22 October 2017 |language=en-IN}}</ref> Thereafter, he completed his MBBS in 1979<ref name="Gov">{{Cite journal |publisher=Government of India, Directorate of Printing |date=1981-01-03 |title=Gazette of India|issue=452 |url=http://archive.org/details/in.gazette.1981.452}}</ref> and postgraduation in General Surgery from [[Kasturba Medical College]], [[Mangalore]].<ref>{{cite web|date=December 26, 2020|first=Raj|last=Chengappa|title=When I did a 100 heart operations in 1989, I knew it was possible to start a revolution in cardiac surgery: Dr Devi Shetty|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/anniversary/story/20210104-when-i-did-a-100-heart-operations-without-a-single-fatality-1753003-2020-12-26|access-date=2021-06-19|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref> Later, he completed FRCS from [[Royal College of Surgeons of England|Royal College of Surgeons, England]].<ref>[https://www.narayanahealth.org/bangalore/cardiac-surgery-adult-cardiac-surgery-paediatric/dr-devi-prasad-shetty Brief Profile - Devi Prasad Shetty]</ref> He has also received an advanced cardiothoracic surgery training at [[Guy's Hospital]] in [[London]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jayakumar |first1=Dheeraj |last2=Bansal |first2=Anushree |last3=Albano |first3=Joselv E. |last4=Mirhan |first4=Janelle Lara G. |title=Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty: The Visionary Cardiothoracic Surgeon Who Championed Affordable Healthcare |journal=Cureus |article-number=e70683 |doi=10.7759/cureus.70683 |date=October 2024 |volume=16 |issue=10 |doi-access=free |pmid=39493176 |pmc=11530259 }}</ref>

==Career==
He returned to India in 1989 and initially worked at B.M. Birla Hospital in [[Kolkata]]. He successfully performed the first neonatal heart surgery in the country in 1992, on a 21-day-old baby Ronnie.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Anand |first1=Geeta |title=The Henry Ford of Heart Surgery |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125875892887958111 |website=The Wall Street Journal |date=25 November 2009 |publisher=Dow Jones |access-date=25 November 2009}}</ref> In [[Kolkata]] he operated on [[Mother Teresa]] after she had a heart attack, and subsequently served as her personal physician.<ref name="MSN-India" />
In 2001, Shetty founded [[Narayana Hrudayalaya]] (NH), a multi-specialty hospital in [[Bommasandra]] on the outskirts of Bangalore. He believes that the cost of healthcare can be reduced by 50 percent in the next 5–10 years if hospitals adopt the idea of economies of scale.<ref name="ET_Awards_2012">{{cite news|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-09-19/news/33952757_1_hospital-chain-narayana-hrudayalaya-cardiac-surgery|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103103129/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-09-19/news/33952757_1_hospital-chain-narayana-hrudayalaya-cardiac-surgery|archive-date=3 January 2013|title=ET Awards 2012|newspaper=Economic Times|date=19 September 2012|access-date=6 November 2012}}</ref>

In August 2012 Shetty announced an agreement with TriMedx, a subsidiary of [[Ascension Health]], to create a joint venture for a chain of hospitals . In the past Narayana Hrudayalaya has collaborated with Ascension Health to set up a health care city in the Cayman Islands, planned to eventually have 2,000 beds.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/devi-shetty-to-leveragefrugal-engineeringfor-medical-fraternity/484651/|title=Devi Shetty to leverage frugal engineering for medical fraternity|newspaper=Business Standard|date=28 August 2012|access-date=6 November 2012}}</ref>

Shetty also founded [[Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences]] (RTIICS) in Kolkata, and signed a [[memorandum of understanding]] with the Karnataka Government to build 5,000-bed specialty hospital near [[Bangalore International Airport]]. His company signed a MOU with the [[Government of Gujarat]], to set up a 5,000-bed hospital at [[Ahmedabad]].<ref name=mougujarat>{{cite news|title=Narayana Hrudayalaya, Gujarat join hands for health city project|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.in/2009/01/17/stories/2009011750421700.htm|website=Thehindubusinessline.in|access-date=26 May 2013|date=17 January 2009}}</ref>

== Low cost health care ==
Shetty aims for his hospitals to use [[economies of scale]], to allow them to complete heart surgeries at a lower cost than in the United States. In 2009 ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' newspaper described him as "the [[Henry Ford]] of heart surgery".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125875892887958111?mod=slideshow_overlay_mod|title=The Henry Ford of Heart Surgery|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|date=25 November 2009|access-date=5 June 2012}}</ref> Six additional hospitals were subsequently planned on the Narayana Hrudayalaya model at several cities in India, with plans to expand to 30,000 beds with hospitals in India, Africa and other countries in Asia.<ref name="ET_Awards_2012" /> Shetty aims to trim costs with such measures as buying cheaper [[Scrubs (clothing)|scrubs]] and using [[cross ventilation]] instead of [[air conditioning]].<ref name="cost" /> That has cut the price of [[coronary bypass surgery]] to 95,000 rupees ($1,583), half of what it was 20 years ago.<ref name="Bloomberg 2013">{{cite news|last1=Gokhale|first1=Ketaki|title=Heart Surgery in India for $1,583 Costs $106,385 in U.S.|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-07-28/heart-surgery-in-india-for-1-583-costs-106-385-in-u-s-|access-date=6 May 2016|work=Bloomberg.com|date=28 July 2013}}</ref> In 2013 he aimed to get the price down to $800 within a decade. The same procedure costs $106,385 at Ohio's [[Cleveland Clinic]].<ref name="Bloomberg 2013"/> He has also eliminated many pre-ops testing and innovated in patient care such as "drafting and training patients' family members to administer after-surgical care".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/saritharai/2015/12/16/devi-shetty-who-put-heart-surgeries-within-reach-of-indias-poor-is-taking-narayana-chain-public/#71f6ead2889a|title=Devi Shetty, Who Put Heart Surgeries Within Reach Of India's Poor, Is Taking Narayana Chain Public|last=Rai|first=Saritha|website=Forbes|access-date=2016-05-07}}</ref> Surgeons in his hospitals perform 30 to 35 surgeries a day compared to one or two in a US hospital.

This is because, like a saint (or Rishi in Indian mythology), anybody who comes to Devi Shetty's Ashram/hospital gets a bypass if he or she dreams of it.<ref>[https://www.deccanherald.com/state/top-karnataka-stories/who-is-devi-shetty-head-of-karnataka-s-covid-task-force-985836.html Who is Devi Shetty, head of Karnataka's Covid task force?]</ref>

Afrobeats is primarily produced in [[Lagos]], [[Accra]], and [[London]]. Historian and cultural critic [[Paul Gilroy]] reflects on the changing London music scene as a result of shifting demographics:<ref name="Hancox">{{Cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/its-called-afrobeats-not-afrobeat-and-its-taking-over-london/|title=It's Called Afrobeats And It's Taking Over London|last=Hancox|first=Dan|website=Vice|date=28 December 2013 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191209224712/https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/53azwz/its-called-afrobeats-not-afrobeat-and-its-taking-over-london|archive-date=2019-12-09}}</ref>

<blockquote>We are moving towards an African majority which is diverse both in its cultural habits and in its relationship to colonial and postcolonial governance, so the shift away from Caribbean dominance needs to be placed in that setting. Most of the [[Grime (music genre)|grime]] folks are African kids, either the children of migrants or migrants themselves. It's not clear what Africa might mean to them.</blockquote>

In his earlier book, ''[[The Black Atlantic]]'', Gilroy rejects the notion that Black culture and music can be bound to one geographical region.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gilroy |title=The Black Atlantic |year=1993 |publisher=Verso |isbn=9780860916758 |pages=16}}</ref> Afrobeats exemplifies this syncretism as a transnational genre that since 2019 has received international attention.<ref name="Scher-2015" /> David Drake writes about popular Nigerian music noting it is "Picking up on trends from the U.S., Jamaica, and Trinidad, they reimagine diasporic influences and—more often than not—completely reinvent them."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Drake |title=Pop Music's Nigerian Future |website=Fader |url=https://www.thefader.com/2014/08/01/pop-musics-nigerian-future |access-date=22 August 2019 |archive-date=22 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190822175715/https://www.thefader.com/2014/08/01/pop-musics-nigerian-future |url-status=live }}</ref>

Afrobeats began to experience widespread global mainstream acclaim in the late 2010s, with artists achieving success across Africa, Europe, and North America.

Afrobeat is a genre that developed in the 1960s and 1970s, taking influences from [[Fuji music]] and [[highlife]], mixed in with American [[jazz]] and [[funk]].

Afrobeats is most identifiable by its signature driving drum beat rhythms, whether electronic or instrumental. These beats harken to the stylings of a variety of traditional African drum beats across West Africa as well as the precursory genre Afrobeat.<ref name="Hancox-20122">{{Cite news |last=Hancox |first=Dan |date=2012-01-19 |title=The rise of Afrobeats |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jan/19/the-rise-of-afrobeats |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218175200/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jan/19/the-rise-of-afrobeats |archive-date=2019-12-18 |access-date=2019-08-22 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> The beat in Afrobeats music is not just a base for the melody, but acts as a major character of the song, taking a lead role that is sometimes equal to or of greater importance than the lyrics and almost always more central than the other instrumentals. Afrobeats shares a similar momentum and tempo to house music. Usually using the 4/4 [[time signature]] common in Western music, afrobeats commonly features a 3–2 or 2–3 rhythm called a [[Clave (rhythm)|clave]].<ref name="Drake-2014" /><ref name="Adu-Gilmore-2015" />

Another distinction within Afrobeats is the notably West African, specifically Nigerian or Ghanaian, accented English<ref name="Hancox-20122"/> that is often blended with local slangs, pidgin English, as well as local Nigerian or Ghanaian languages depending on the backgrounds of the performers.

[[Sampling (music)|Sampling]] is sometimes used within Afrobeats music. Burna Boy and Wizkid, for example, have both sampled Fela Kuti.<ref name="Osha-2022"/>

<blockquote>I cannot say I invented Afrobeats. Afrobeats was invented before I was born. It was invented by Fela Kuti.

So that's what I call it when I put them on my mix tapes.</blockquote>

Afrobeats is less of a style like Afrobeat is, and more of an overarching term for the contemporary sound of African pop music and that of those influenced by it.<ref name="Khan-2017" /><ref name="Phillips-2017" /><ref name="Karlisa-2018a" /> DJ 3K criticised the label for being a contemporary marketing category. According to David Drake, the eclectic genre "reimagines diasporic influences and—more often than not—completely reinvents them".<ref name="Drake-2014" /> However, some caution against equating Afrobeats to contemporary pan-African music, in order to prevent the erasure of local musical contributions. Some artists have distanced themselves from the term 'afrobeats' due to the overt similarity it has with 'afrobeat', even though they are different sounds.<ref name="Karlisa-2018a" /><ref name="Smith-2012" />

[[Reggie Rockstone]], a pioneering [[hiplife]] artist, felt conflicted over artists in an interview with Gabriel Myers Hansen:<blockquote>It's like 'Oh come on! We work so hard for you to get on, and now you're gonna deny what it is that we did? Come on!' Sometimes I get that vibe, but then, in the same breath, I'm like, well, it is one Africa, and I'm pan-African to the bone. So do I really care if it's called Afrobeats or hiplife? As long as Black people are getting it, and young people are making money, feeding their kids, I think I'm okay. So, to each their own.</blockquote>Rockstone used "afrobeats" rather than "hiplife"—a genre often placed under the "Afrobeats" umbrella.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GRANDPAPA'S TALES: Rockstone on Nightlife, Hiplife & His MANY LIVES |url=https://enewsgh.com/2019/05/30/grandpapas-tales-rockstone-on-nightlife-hiplife-his-many-lives1/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825200237/https://enewsgh.com/2019/05/30/grandpapas-tales-rockstone-on-nightlife-hiplife-his-many-lives1/ |archive-date=2019-08-25 |access-date=2019-08-25 |website=Proudly Ghanaian! {{!}} Enews |language=en-US}}</ref>

== History ==
=== Beginnings ===
Styles of music that make up afrobeats largely began sometime in the late '90s and early to mid-2000s. With the launching of [[MTV Base (African TV channel)|MTV Base Africa]] in 2005, West Africa was given a large platform through which artists could grow. Artists such as [[M.I Abaga|MI Abaga]], [[Naeto C]] and [[Sarkodie (rapper)|Sarkodie]] were among the first to take advantage of this, however most of the artists were merely making interpretations of American hip hop and R&B. Prior to this, groups such as [[Trybesmen]], [[Plantashun Boiz]], and [[the Remedies]] were early pioneers that fused modern American influences from hip-hop and R&B with local melodies.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-08-08|title=Gateways – Tony Allen and Nigeria: From Afrobeat to Afrobeats|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/aug/08/gateways-tony-allen-and-nigeria-from-afrobeat-to-afrobeats|access-date=2020-10-17|website=The Guardian|language=en|archive-date=9 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201009030817/https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/aug/08/gateways-tony-allen-and-nigeria-from-afrobeat-to-afrobeats|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-10-01|title=Here is a timeline of Nigerian music genres since 1960|url=https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/independence-day-here-is-a-timeline-of-nigerian-music-genres-since-1960/1sgpvbn|access-date=2020-10-17|newspaper=[[Pulse Nigeria]]|language=en-US|archive-date=17 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017223237/https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/independence-day-here-is-a-timeline-of-nigerian-music-genres-since-1960/1sgpvbn|url-status=live}}</ref> While this allowed them to build local audiences, it blocked them from a wider platform due to the language barriers in-place. [[P-Square]] released their album ''[[Game Over (P-Square album)|Game Over]]'' in 2007, which was unique for its usage of Nigerian rhythms and melodies. Meanwhile, artists such as [[Flavour N'abania]] embraced older genres, such as [[highlife]], and remixing it into something more modern, as seen in his song "[[Nwa Baby|Nwa Baby (Ashawo Remix)]]".<ref name="Karlisa-2018a" /> By the late 2000s, artists within the burgeoning scene were beginning to become stars across the continent.<ref>{{Cite web |title=THE EVOLVING SOUNDS OF AFROBEATS |url=https://www.ambushdesign.com/en-ua/universe/field-study/the-evolving-sounds-of-afrobeats |website=www.ambushdesign.com}}</ref>

However it was not until the launch of Choice FM's new Afrobeats radio show birthed and presented by DJ Abrantee in April 2011 that the genre gained traction and saw 'Afrobeats' trending for the first time in history. The launch of the show gained popularity and provided a launch pad for both UK based and African artists to submit songs for playlist consideration. Abrantee used his daytime show to test daytime play of Afrobeats. Some of the first Afrobeats songs to be playlisted on daytime radio across the UK were [[Mista Silva]]'s "Boom Boom Tah", [[May7ven]]'s "Ten Ten", [[D'Banj]]'s "[[Oliver Twist (D'banj song)|Oliver Twist]]", and [[Moelogo]]'s "Pangolo" in March 2012. [[P-Square]] released "[[Chop My Money|Chop My Money (Remix)]]" alongside popular Senegalese-American artist [[Akon]] in 2012.<ref name="Karlisa-2018a" /> "[[Oliver Twist (D'banj song)|Oliver Twist]]", released online by Nigerian artist [[D'banj]] in the summer of 2011 charted at number 9 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] in 2012 (making him the first afrobeats artist to make it to the top 10 in the UK) and number 2 on the [[UK R&B Singles and Albums Charts|UK R&B Chart]]. In 2012, P-Square remixed their 2009 hit single "[[E No Easy]]" with [[Matt Houston (singer)|Matt Houston]], and it became the first afrobeats song to reach top 5 on the French [[SNEP]] music chart, as well as top 10 on the Belgian [[Ultratop]] chart, spending 29 weeks and 16 weeks respectively. The song was the first afrobeats summer hit in France, which in turn boosted afrobeats' visibility in the francophone countries.<ref>{{cite web |title=MATT HOUSTON FEAT.

British DJs such as DJ Edu, with his show ''Destination Africa'' on [[BBC Radio 1Xtra]], and [[Abrantee Boateng|DJ Abrantee]], with his show on [[Choice FM]], granted African music a platform in the United Kingdom.

[[Ghanaian British]] artist [[Fuse ODG]] helped popularise afrobeats in the UK. He was also the first to top the iTunes World Chart and received the Best African Act award at the 2013 [[MOBO Awards]]. In 2009, Fuse ODG described his sound as "hip hop with an African vibe". In 2011, Fuse ODG travelled to [[Ghana]] where he discovered the [[Azonto]] dance, and became inspired by hip hop-influenced Afro-pop and Naija beats. Once he returned to London, he fused the sounds he had found in Ghana into what he described as "Afrobeats, but with my U.K. thing added to it", fusing the sound with influences from [[UK funky]] and [[Grime (music genre)|grime]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vibble.co/story/afrobeats/|title=Afrobeats – Vibble|website=vibble.co|access-date=2019-08-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825200242/https://vibble.co/story/afrobeats/|archive-date=2019-08-25|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2012, he saw his first success with the song "[[Antenna (song)|Antenna]]" which peaked at number 7 on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. He followed that up with "[[Azonto (Fuse ODG song)|Azonto]]", which further helped popularise afrobeats and the dance in the UK.<ref name="Scher-2015" /> Such songs, and the Azonto dance craze, helped encourage [[Black British|Black Brits]] to embrace their African heritage rather than, as was the norm before, attempting to fit into [[British African-Caribbean people|British-Caribbean]] communities.<ref name="Shipley-2013" /><ref name="Smith-2012" /> Afrobeats night clubs became primary features of UK's nightlife with clubs opening in most major cities.<ref name="Bristol Afrobeats-2014">{{cite web|url=http://bristolafrobeats.com/about-bristol-afrobeats/|title= About Bristol Afrobeats|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140427034821/http://bristolafrobeats.com/about-bristol-afrobeats/|archive-date=2014-04-27|url-status=dead|access-date=2014-04-27}}</ref>

More viral dances would follow which played an important part in popularising afrobeats. In 2011, Nigerian singer [[Iyanya]] released "[[Kukere]]". The song became popular and known for its adaption of a traditional dance called [[Etighi]].<ref name="Karlisa-2018b">{{Cite web|url=https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/a-history-of-afropop-dance-crazes|title=A history of Afropop dance crazes from Azonto to Kukere and everything in-between.|website=Red Bull|language=en|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190828004459/https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/a-history-of-afropop-dance-crazes|archive-date=2019-08-28|url-status=live}}</ref> Another dance was popularised by Nigerian artist [[Davido]] when he released "[[Skelewu]]" in 2013.

=== Pon Pon ===
Pon Pon is a subgenre that was briefly the main sound in the Nigerian afropop music scene during the mid-2010s. The subgenre has been used to describe songs influenced by dancehall and highlife. Sess The Problem Kid, a producer, characterised the genre by its "mellow vibe and soft-hitting synths, mostly in pairs". The name of the subgenre is an [[onomatopoeia]] of the synths that feature in Pon Pon songs. There has however been confusion over exactly what defines the subgenre.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kulturehub.com/nigerian-afrobeats-takeover/|title=Nigerian Afrobeats, led by stars Burna Boy and WizKid, is poised for a world takeover|date=2018-02-21|website=Kulture Hub|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829014216/https://kulturehub.com/nigerian-afrobeats-takeover/|archive-date=2019-08-29|url-status=usurped}}</ref> It's unknown exactly where the genre originated, but Tekno's song "Pana" has been credited for popularising the sound.<ref name="OkayAfrica-2017">{{Cite web|url=https://www.okayafrica.com/nigeria-new-pon-pon-sound/|title=What Exactly Is Nigeria's New "Pon Pon" Sound?|date=2017-08-10|website=OkayAfrica|language=en|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190920144956/https://www.okayafrica.com/nigeria-new-pon-pon-sound/|archive-date=2019-09-20|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Kpade-2017b">{{Cite web|url=https://www.okayafrica.com/nigerian-music-pon-pon-songs/|title=The 10 Songs That Define Nigeria's 'Pon Pon' Sound|date=2017-10-25|website=OkayAfrica|language=en|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829014214/https://www.okayafrica.com/nigerian-music-pon-pon-songs/|archive-date=2019-08-29|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Olofintuade-2017">{{Cite web|url=https://theculturetrip.com/africa/nigeria/articles/you-need-to-hear-the-nigerian-sound-thats-taking-the-world-by-storm/|title=You Need to Hear the Nigerian Sound That's Taking the World By Storm|last=Olofintuade|first=Ayodele|website=Culture Trip|date=4 September 2017|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829014215/https://theculturetrip.com/africa/nigeria/articles/you-need-to-hear-the-nigerian-sound-thats-taking-the-world-by-storm/|archive-date=2019-08-29|url-status=live}}</ref> Krizbeatz, one of the producers behind "Pana", instead prefers to call the genre "Afro Dance Music" (ADM), denoting the influence of [[Electronic dance music|EDM]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.okayafrica.com/krizbeatz-afro-dance-music-nigeria/|title=Krizbeatz Is Nigeria's 'King of New Wave'|date=2018-01-11|website=OkayAfrica|language=en|access-date=2019-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829014214/https://www.okayafrica.com/krizbeatz-afro-dance-music-nigeria/|archive-date=2019-08-29|url-status=live}}</ref>

Martin Connor, an expert in vocal melodies and rap analysis, described the characteristics of the genre as being "[..] technically in 4/4, what you will hear over and over again is this recurring pattern made up of three notes that are still repeated in the framework of a 4/4 time signature [..] You can hear the inspirations of Jamaican music in the rhythm except Jamaican music doesn't have a bass kick and the snare – that's hip hop, that's traditional rap. So this is that translation of cultures happening subtly in the instrumentation. Yet it still has a hip hop sensibility in terms of lyrical focus and music videos: cars, money, authenticity, hardness".<ref name="Dazed-2018a"/>

=== Bakosó ===
In Cuba, a new genre of music known as Bakosó emerged in the mid-2010s pioneered in [[Santiago de Cuba]] by artists such as Ozkaro and Maikel el Padrino and producers like Kiki Pro. Africans who were studying in Cuba helped influence local Cuban artists by introducing them to African genres, leading to the creation of Bakosó, a fusion of genres such as afrobeats, [[kuduro]], and azonto with local Cuban genres such as [[Cuban rumba|rumba]] and [[Conga (music)|conga]].<ref>{{Citation|title=AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange {{!}} Bakosó: Afrobeats of Cuba {{!}} Season 13 {{!}} Episode 1305|url=https://www.pbs.org/video/bakoso-afrobeats-of-cuba-gbzfjz/|language=en|access-date=2021-07-15|archive-date=15 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715130941/https://www.pbs.org/video/bakoso-afrobeats-of-cuba-gbzfjz/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Leight|first=Elias|date=2021-06-04|title='Bakosó: AfroBeats of Cuba' Captures the Moment When Genres Collide|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bakoso-afrobeats-of-cuba-documentary-1178064/|access-date=2021-07-15|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US|archive-date=15 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715130941/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bakoso-afrobeats-of-cuba-documentary-1178064/|url-status=live}}</ref> An artist named Inka has been credited with coining the name of the genre.

'''Kashipur''' ([[Hindi]]: ''Kāshīpur'' {{IPA|hns|kaːʃiːpʊr|}}) is a city of [[Udham Singh Nagar district]] in the Indian state of [[Uttarakhand]], and one of its seven subdivisions. Located in the western part of [[Udham Singh Nagar district]], it is [[Kumaon division|Kumaun]]'s third most populous city and the [[List of cities in Uttarakhand by population|sixth most populous in Uttarakhand]]. Its ancient name was "Govisana". According to the [[2011 Census of India]], the population is 121,623 for the city of Kashipur and 283,136 for Kashipur Tehsil. Kashipur also has [[IIM Kashipur]], one of the thirteen Indian Institutes of Managements the government has set up during the Eleventh Five-year Plan.

Historically part of [[Kumaon Kingdom|Kumaun]], Kashipur is named after ''Kashinath Adhikari'', the founder of the township and governor of the ''[[pargana]]'', one of the officers of the [[Chand Kings]] of [[Kumaon Kingdom|Kumaun]] in the 16th and 17th centuries.<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V15_077.gif Kashipur town] ''[[The Imperial Gazetteer of India]]'', 1909, v. 15, p. 71.</ref> Kashipur remained under the rule of Chand Kings until the latter half of eighteenth century until ''Nand Ram'', the then governor of Kashipur, became practically independent.

Kashipur was ceded to British in 1801, after which, it played a major role in the conquest of [[Kumaon Kingdom|Kumaon]] during the [[Anglo-Gorkha war]] in 1815.<ref>{{cite web|title=Imperial Gazetteer of India, Volume 18, page 324|url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V18_330.gif|website=dsal.uchicago.edu|publisher=Digital South Asia Library|access-date=19 July 2017}}</ref> After Kumaun was ceded to the British under the [[Treaty of Sugauli]], Kashipur became the headquarters of Terai district in the [[Kumaon division]].

Later Raja Mohan Chand; one of the Kings of Kumaon's younger brother Lal Singh was given the estate Kashipur and Raja Guman Singh became its first King. Kashipur's last king, Raja Hari Chand Raj Singh again got back the titular throne of Kumaon in British India, as Raja Anand Singh (Raja of Almora) had no issue. The exact date of the foundation of the town is disputed, several historians having expressed their own views on the matter. [[Reginald Heber|Bishop Heber]], in his book ''Travels in India'' wrote that Kashipur was founded by a deity named Kashi 5000 years back (approx 3176 BC).<ref name="asiatic" />{{rp|175}}<ref name = "heber" /> [[Alexander Cunningham|Sir Alexander Cunningham]] invalidated his views in his book, ''The Ancient Geography of India'', in which he wrote "the good bishop was grossly deceived by his informant, as it is well known that the town is a modern one, it having been built about AD 1718 by ''kashi-nath'', a follower of [[Chand kings#List of Chand Kings|Raja Devi-Chandra]] of [[Champawat]] in [[Kumaon Kingdom|Kumaon]]".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Cunningham|first1=Sir Alexander|title=The Ancient Geography of India: I.

When the British arrived in Kumaun at the end of the 18th century AD, Kashipur was ruled by King ''Shib Lal'', the second King of Kashipur. Kashipur was ceded to the British by Shib Lal in 1801 after which it became a revenue division.

To the north of the city lies the [[Bhabar]] tract of [[Ramnagar, Nainital|Ramnagar]], which separates the area from [[Shivalik Hills]].

===Geology===
Geologically, Kashipur is dominated by the [[Terai]] tract, which runs horizontally through the city from [[Jaspur]] in the west, passing through the city center, to [[Bajpur]] and [[Rudrapur, Uttarakhand|Rudrapur]] in the east. Terai formation consists of [[clay]]s, sandy clays,
fine to medium [[sand]] and occasional [[gravels]].<ref name="bussa">{{cite book|last1=Bussa|first1=Ravikalyan|title=District Udham Singh Nagar at a Glance|publisher=Central Ground Water Board, Uttaranchal Region|location=Dehradun|url=http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Uttarakhand/UdhamSinghNagar.pdf|access-date=6 June 2017}}</ref>{{rp|14}} In this formation there is a dominance of clayey successions over sandy horizons.<ref name="bussa" />{{rp|14}} There are damp and marshy tracts in places. It is the zone of seepage where fine sand, silt and clay are deposited by the emerging streams. Almost level and fertile soil along with high water table has rendered the belt useful. According to the [[Bureau of Indian Standards]], the town falls under [[Earthquake hazard zoning of India|seismic zone 4]], in a scale of 2 to 5 (in order of increasing vulnerability to earthquakes).<ref>{{cite book|title=Hazard profiles of Indian districts|publisher=National Capacity Building Project in Disaster Management, UNDP|url=http://www.undp.org.in/dmweb/hazardprofile.pdf|access-date=17 October 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060519100611/http://www.undp.org.in/dmweb/hazardprofile.pdf|archive-date=19 May 2006}}</ref><ref name="sdmap">{{cite web|title=Complete sdmap, Uttarakhand|url=http://dmmc.uk.gov.in/files/pdf/complete_sdmap.pdf|access-date=26 October 2016}}</ref>{{rp|27}}

===Climate===
[[File:Daily life of Kashipur with patterned clouds.jpg|thumb|Clouds hovering over the city]]
Kashipur has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cwa''),<ref name="climate" /> like much of the [[Indo-Gangetic Plain]]s to its south, with average maximum temperatures in summer (June) being around {{convert|31.6|°C|°F}}; and in winter (January) around {{convert|14.5|°C|°F}}.<ref name="climate" /> The driest month is November, with 5 mm of rain. With an average of 374 mm, the most precipitation falls in July.<ref name="climate" /> There is a difference of 369 mm of precipitation between the driest and wettest months.<ref name="climate" /> During the year, the average temperatures vary by 17.1 °C. The main seasons are summer from March to June, the [[monsoon]] season from July to November and winter from December to February.<ref name="sdmap" />{{rp|13}}

The climate of Kashipur is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. In summer, Kashipur is largely under the influence of moist, maritime airflow from the western side of the subtropical anticyclonic cells over [[Indian Ocean|low-latitude ocean waters]]. Temperatures are high and can lead to warm, oppressive nights.<ref name="sdmap" />{{rp|13}} Summers are usually somewhat wetter than winters, with much of the rainfall coming from convectional thunderstorm activity; [[tropical cyclones]] also enhance warm-season rainfall in some regions.<ref name="sdmap" />{{rp|13}} The coldest month is usually quite mild, although frosts are not uncommon, and winter precipitation is derived primarily from frontal cyclones along the polar front.
But in the recent years kashipur has witnessed a drastic change in weather and its climatic conditions due to increase in construction in the nearby regions also due to overpopulation and increase in demand by people for the region's resources. due to this we have seen that the trees are cut due to which average temperature is increasing. also the most popular lake in the girital region has alao dried up.

==Economy==
Agriculture is the main economic activity in the region. Fertile land, coupled with water availability, makes the region an intensively cropped area. Apart from Rice and Wheat, major produces are sugarcane, mango, guava, jamun, jack fruit and litchi. Large number of farmers in this region are actually settlers from outside, having land holdings in excess of five acres. government has allotted agricultural plots to refugees around Garhi Negi village and to the hill people at [[Maldhan Chaur|Maldhan]] village.

Historically, Industrial activities in the region were very small scale and agriculture based. Later, with administrative encouragement and support, rapid industrial development took place around Kashipur town. About 603 industrial units were functioning in the town, as reported by the Kashipur 2011 Master Plan. These included 163 Cottage industries, 415 small scale industries, and 25 medium (or large) Industries. Industrial development coupled with rich agricultural cash crops practices made this area more prosperous, relative to other parts of Kumaon region.

The region accounts for almost 50% of the medium and large scale industries in the district. Major Industrial units, mostly located on Kashipur-Thakurdwara road, include Surya Roshini Limited (Bulbs and Tubes), India Glycols limited, Kashi Vishwanath Steels limited, Jindal Solvents extraction limited, DSM Sugar mills limited, Naini Papers limited, SRF limited and Shriram extraction private limited etc. Large industrial houses such as [http://www.flexituff.com/ Flexituff Ventures International Limited], IGL, [[HCL Technologies]], [[Videocon]], Pasupati Arcylon Limited etc. also have branch establishments in the city. Kashipur is becoming a thriving industrial center, as the city is suited for industrial park projects with cost of living compared to metros. Because of cheap and abundant raw materials available, several paper and sugar mills already have a presence in the city.

'''Military operations''' took place in '''[[Ladakh]]''' in '''1948''' during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1947-1948]] between the [[Indian Army]] and [[Pakistan]]i raiders infiltrated to capture the [[Kashmir and Jammu (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir state]].{{Campaignbox Indo-Pakistani war of 1947-1948}}

==Relief of Leh==
Pakistani raiders had besieged and reduced [[Skardu]] in early 1948.<ref name="Offl_Hist_1947">{{cite book |title=History of Operations In Jammu and Kashmir 1947-1948 |last1=Prasad|first1=S.N.|last2=Dharm Pal |year=1987 |publisher=History Department, Ministry of Defence, Government of India. (printed at Thomson Press (India) Limited) |location=New Delhi |pages=418 }}.</ref>{{Rp|300–305}} It was vital that Leh, the next likely target, be relieved before it was attacked by the raiders. Maj Prithi Chand, a [[Lahaul and Spiti district|Lahauli]] officer with a band of 40 volunteers from the 2nd Battalion, [[Dogra Regiment]] began a hazardous mid-winter ascent of [[Zojila]] pass on 16 February 1948, with rifles and ammunition for the garrison. They reached Leh on 8 March, where an ad hoc force for defence was organised, followed soon by a Jammu and Kashmir State Forces detachment bringing additional weapons.<ref name="Slender">{{cite book |title=Slender Was the Thread: Kashmir Confrontation 1947-48 |last=Sen |first=Maj Gen L.

==Reinforcement of Leh==
The slow advance of raiders permitted reinforcement of Leh by air by a company of 2nd Battalion, [[4 Gorkha Rifles]] (2/4 GR) and later a company of 2nd Battalion, [[8th Gorkha Rifles]] (2/8 GR) by air just in time to repulse the raiders.<ref name="Rescue">{{cite book |title=Operation Rescue:Military Operations in Jammu & Kashmir 1947-49|last=Sinha |first=Lt.

The garrison of Leh held despite shortage of troops, weapons and ammunition, sickness and fatigue. In August another company of 2/8 GR was flown in by air and the remaining part of the battalion, codenamed ''Arjun'' column, with a large column of supplies on mules, trekked to Leh from [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh|Manali]]. Another large mule column, codenamed ''Chapati'' column, followed in September to provide adequate supplies for the winter.<ref name="Rescue"/>{{rp|110–111}} Lt Col (later Col) HS Parab, CO 2/8 GR, was airlifted to Leh on 23 Aug and later designated Commander, Leh Brigade (though the force never exceeded two battalions in strength).<ref name="Offl_Hist_1947"/>{{rp|336}} Spirited small unit actions and guerrilla raids on both banks of the Indus effectively held the raiders at bay throughout September and October.

==Capture of Zoji La==
When Zoji La fell to the Pakistani forces in May 1948, it was vital for the Indians that the pass be recaptured before winter so as to relieve Leh. An unsuccessful frontal attack was launched by [[77th Indian Infantry Brigade|77 Parachute Brigade]] under Brig Hiralal Atal to capture Zoji La pass.<ref name="Rescue"/>{{rp|112}} Operation Duck, the earlier epithet for this assault, was renamed as Operation Bison by Lt Gen [[Kodandera Madappa Cariappa|Cariappa]], the Western Army commander.<ref name="Rescue"/>{{rp|113}} [[M3 Stuart|M5 Stuart light tanks]] of [[7th Light Cavalry|7 Cavalry]] were moved in dismantled conditions through [[Srinagar]] to [[Baltal, Jammu and Kashmir|Baltal]] while the superhuman efforts of two field companies of the [[Madras Engineer Group|Madras Sappers]] working day and night improved the mule track from [[Baltal, Jammu and Kashmir|Baltal]] up the Zoji La to Gumri.<ref name="Offl_Hist_1947"/>{{rp|356–357}} The surprise attack on 1 November by the brigade with armour, led by the division commander [[Kodendera Subayya Thimayya|Thimayya]] in the lead tank,<ref name="Amazing">{{cite book |title=Thimayya:An Amazing Life |last=Khanduri|first=Chandra B. |year=1969 |publisher=Centre for Armed Historical Research, United Service Institution of India, New Delhi through Knowledge World |location=New Delhi |isbn=81-87966-36-X |page=137 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZWXfAAAAMAAJ |access-date=6 August 2010}}</ref> and supported by two regiments of [[Ordnance QF 25 pounder|25 pounders]] and a regiment of [[3.7-inch mountain howitzer|3.7 inch guns]], saw the enemy being surprised. The pass was forced and the enemy pushed back to Matayan.

==Liberation of Leh and Kargil==
[[File:Kargil War Memorial, Hall of Fame Museum, Leh, Ladakh, India (2016) 1.jpg|thumb|right|1947 Ladakh War Memorial of the Indian Army]]
Since the raiders were inactive on the Leh front during 77 Para Brigade's operations in Zoji La, Leh Brigade went onto the offensive advancing from Tharu to Marol on the north bank of the [[Indus]] and from Chilling to [[Lamayuru Monastery|Lamayuru]] to Kargil on the south bank. Another detachment advanced along the [[Shyok River]] clearing opposition on that axis and securing the [[Nubra Valley]] flank.

On the Zoji La front, 77 Parachute Brigade launched a deliberate attack and captured Matayan on 13 November and [[Dras]] on 15 November. The brigade linked up on 24 November at [[Kargil town|Kargil]] with Indian troops advancing from [[Leh]] while the Pakistani positions withdrew northwards toward [[Skardu]].<ref name="Rescue"/>{{rp|126}} The Indian pursuit was halted by fierce military action at Chathatang as the Pakistani soldiers blew themselves under Indian tanks to save their posts, 5 km ahead of the Marol fork of the Indus. The strong Pakistani defenses, on both banks of the Indus, resisted till 1 January 1949 when a ceasefire was called.

Originally pilgrims observed these "stations" in Jerusalem, on the Via Dolorosa, the "sorrowful way" from the fortress Antonia in Jerusalem to Golgota outside the city gates, but they exported them around the world so that even those who could not make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land could still pray through them during Lent and Holy Week especially.}}</ref> Communicants of the [[Moravian Church]] have a Good Friday tradition of [[God's Acre|cleaning gravestones in Moravian cemeteries]].<ref name="WSJ2020"/>

==Etymology==
The term ''Good Friday'' comes from the sense '[[wikt:pious|pious]], holy' of the word ''good''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yourdictionary.com/good-friday |title=Good Friday – Definition of Good Friday in the American Heritage Dictionary |publisher=Yourdictionary.com |date=4 April 2014 |access-date=23 April 2014 |archive-date=30 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430172455/https://www.yourdictionary.com/good-friday |url-status=live }}</ref> Less common examples of expressions based on this obsolete sense of ''good'' include 'the good book" for the Bible, 'good tide' for Christmas or [[Shrovetide]], and [[Good Wednesday]] for the Wednesday in Holy Week.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/79925#eid2855682 |title=Home: Oxford English Dictionary |publisher=Oed.com |access-date=23 April 2014 |archive-date=27 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211227231406/https://www.oed.com/start;jsessionid=AC6A96D110D79C6AD2FEA1CCDC2A0C2C?authRejection=true&url=%2Fview%2FEntry%2F79925#eid2855682 |url-status=live }}</ref> With regard to the usual sense of the word ''[[wikt:good|good]]'', "Christians believe that Jesus's death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins, saving mankind from death."<ref name="Riggleman2025">{{cite web |last1=Riggleman |first1=Heather |title=What is Good Friday and What is the Meaning of "Good"? |url=https://www.crosswalk.com/special-coverage/easter/why-is-it-called-good-friday.html |website=[[Crosswalk.com]] |access-date=18 April 2025 |language=en |date=11 April 2025}}</ref>

A common [[folk etymology]] analyses ''Good Friday'' incorrectly as a corruption of ''God Friday'', of a type similar to the (linguistically correct) derivation of ''[[wiktionary: goodbye|goodbye]]'' from a contraction of 'God be with ye'.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MptAAAAAYAAJ&dq=good+friday&pg=PA295 | title=Chambers's Encyclopaedia: A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge | last1=Chambers | first1=Robert | date=7 April 1890 }}</ref> In Old English, the day was called ''Long Friday'' ({{lang|ang|langa frigedæg}} {{IPA|ang|ˈlɑŋɡɑ ˈfriːjedæj|}})—referring to the lengthy observances of fasting and religious services, making it a day of extended devotion—and equivalents of this term are still used in Scandinavian languages and Finnish.<ref>{{cite web |website=runeberg.org |title=Svensk etymologisk ordbok 434 |url=https://runeberg.org/svetym/0522.html |access-date=April 2, 2021 |archive-date=25 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211025212047/http://runeberg.org/svetym/0522.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File: Gustave Doré - The Holy Bible - Plate CXLI, The Judas Kiss.jpg|thumb|upright|''The Judas Kiss'' by [[Gustave Doré]], 1866]]
{{Death of Jesus|Holy Week}}
According to the accounts in the Gospels, the royal soldiers, guided by Jesus' disciple [[Judas Iscariot]], [[Arrest of Jesus|arrested]] Jesus in the [[Garden of Gethsemane]]. Judas received money ([[30 pieces of silver]]) <ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|26:14–16|KJV}})</ref> for [[Bargain of Judas|betraying Jesus]] and told the guards that whomever [[Kiss of Judas|he kisses]] is the one they are to arrest. Following his arrest, Jesus was taken to the house of [[Annas]], the father-in-law of the [[Cohen Gadol|high priest]], [[Caiaphas]]. There he was interrogated with little result and sent bound to Caiaphas the high priest where the [[Sanhedrin]] had assembled.<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|18:1–24|KJV}}</ref>

Conflicting testimony against Jesus was brought forth by many witnesses, to which Jesus answered nothing. Finally the high priest adjured Jesus to respond under solemn oath, saying "I adjure you, by the Living God, to tell us, are you the Anointed One, the Son of God?" Jesus testified ambiguously, "You have said it, and in time you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty, coming on the clouds of Heaven." The high priest condemned Jesus for [[blasphemy]], and the [[Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus|Sanhedrin concurred with a sentence of death]].<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|26:57–66|KJV}}</ref> Peter, waiting in the courtyard, also [[Denial of Peter|denied Jesus]] three times to bystanders while the interrogations were proceeding just as Jesus had foretold.

In the morning, the whole assembly brought Jesus to the Roman governor [[Pontius Pilate]] under charges of subverting the nation, opposing taxes to Caesar, and making himself a king.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Luke|23:1–2|KJV}}</ref> Pilate authorized the Jewish leaders to judge Jesus according to their own law and execute sentencing; however, the Jewish leaders replied that they were not allowed by the Romans to carry out a sentence of death.<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|18:31|KJV}}</ref>

[[Pilate's court|Pilate questioned]] Jesus and told the assembly that there was no basis for sentencing. Upon learning that Jesus was from Galilee, Pilate referred the case to the ruler of [[Galilee]], [[Herod Antipas|King Herod]], who was in [[Jerusalem]] for the [[Passover]] Feast. [[Jesus at Herod's court|Herod questioned]] Jesus but received no answer; Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate. Pilate told the assembly that neither he nor Herod found Jesus to be guilty; Pilate resolved to have Jesus whipped and released.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Luke|23:3–16|KJV}}</ref> Under the guidance of the chief priests, the crowd asked for [[Barabbas]], who had been imprisoned for committing murder during an insurrection. Pilate asked what they would have him do with Jesus, and they demanded, "Crucify him."<ref>{{Bibleverse||Mark|15:6–14|KJV}}</ref> [[Pontius Pilate's wife|Pilate's wife]] had seen Jesus in a dream earlier that day, and she forewarned Pilate to "have nothing to do with this righteous man."<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:19|KJV}}</ref> Pilate had Jesus [[Flagellation of Christ|flogged]] and then brought him out to the crowd to release him. The chief priests informed Pilate of a new charge, demanding Jesus be sentenced to death "because he claimed to be God's son." This possibility filled Pilate with fear, and he brought Jesus back inside the palace and demanded to know from where he came.<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|19:1–9|KJV|}}</ref>

[[File:Ecce homo by Antonio Ciseri (1).jpg|thumb|left|[[Antonio Ciseri]]'s depiction of ''[[Ecce Homo]]'' with Jesus and [[Pontius Pilate]], 19th century]]
Coming before the crowd one last time, Pilate declared Jesus innocent and washed his own hands in water to show he had no part in this condemnation. Nevertheless, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified in order to forestall a riot.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:24–26|KJV}}</ref> The sentence written was "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." Jesus carried his cross to the site of execution (assisted by [[Simon of Cyrene]]), called the "place of the Skull", or "[[Golgotha]]" in Hebrew and in Latin "Calvary". There he was crucified along with two criminals.<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|19:17–22|KJV}})</ref>

Jesus agonized on the cross for three hours, from noon to 3 pm, [[Crucifixion darkness|darkness fell over the whole land]].<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:45}}; {{Bibleverse||Mark|15:13}}; {{Bibleverse||Luke|23:44}}</ref> In the gospels of Mathew and Mark, Jesus is said to have [[Sayings of Jesus on the cross|spoken from the cross]], quoting the messianic [[Psalm 22]]: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:45}}; {{Bibleverse||Mark|15:34}}</ref>

With a loud cry, Jesus gave up his spirit. There was an earthquake, tombs broke open, and the curtain in the Temple was torn from top to bottom. The [[centurion]] on guard at the site of crucifixion declared, "Truly this was God's Son!"<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:45–54|KJV}}</ref>

[[Joseph of Arimathea]], a member of the Sanhedrin and a secret follower of Jesus, who had not consented to his condemnation, went to Pilate to request the body of Jesus.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Luke|23:50–52|KJV}}</ref> Another secret follower of Jesus and member of the Sanhedrin named [[Nicodemus]] brought about a hundred-pound weight mixture of spices and helped wrap the body of Jesus.<ref name="Bibleverse||John|19:39–40|KJV">{{Bibleverse||John|19:39–40|KJV}}</ref> Pilate asked confirmation from the centurion of whether Jesus was dead.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Mark|15:44|KJV}}</ref> A soldier pierced the side of Jesus with a lance causing blood and water to flow out,<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|19:34|KJV}}</ref> and the centurion informed Pilate that Jesus was dead.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Mark|15:45|KJV}}</ref>

Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body, wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, and placed it in his own new tomb that had been carved in the rock<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:59–60|KJV}}</ref> in a garden near the site of the crucifixion. Nicodemus<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|3:1|KJV}}</ref> also brought 75 pounds of [[myrrh]] and [[aloes]], and placed them in the linen with the body, in keeping with Jewish burial customs.<ref name="Bibleverse||John|19:39–40|KJV"/> They rolled a large rock over the entrance of the tomb.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Matthew|27:60|KJV}}</ref> Then they returned home and rested, because [[Shabbat]] had begun at sunset.<ref>{{Bibleverse||Luke|23:54–56|KJV}}</ref>

==Eastern Orthodox==
[[File:Crucifixion by Theophanes the Cretan.jpg|thumb|[[Icon]] of the Crucifixion, 16th century, by [[Theophanes the Cretan]] ([[Stavronikita Monastery]], [[Mount Athos]])]]
Byzantine Christians ([[Eastern Christians]] who follow the [[Rite of Constantinople]]: [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christians]] and [[Greek Catholic Church|Greek-Catholics]]) call this day "Great and Holy Friday", or simply "Great Friday".<ref>{{cite book|title=A Concise Dictionary of Theology|author=Gerald O'Collins, Edward G. Farrugia|page=108|publisher=Paulist Press|year=2013|isbn=978-1-587-68236-0}}</ref> Because the sacrifice of Jesus through his crucifixion is recalled on this day, the [[Divine Liturgy]] (the sacrifice of bread and wine) is never celebrated on Great Friday, except when this day coincides with the [[Great Feast]] of the [[Annunciation]], which falls on the fixed date of 25 March (for those churches which follow the traditional [[Julian Calendar]], 25 March currently falls on 7 April of the modern [[Gregorian Calendar]]). Also on Great Friday, the clergy no longer wear the purple or red that is customary throughout [[Great Lent]],<ref>There is a wide variety of uses regarding the [[liturgical colors]] worn during Great Lent and Holy Week in the Rite of Constantinople.</ref> but instead don [[black vestments]]. There is no "stripping of the altar" on [[Maundy Thursday|Holy and Great Thursday]] as in the West; instead, all of the [[antipendia|church hangings]] are changed to black, and will remain so until the Divine Liturgy on [[Great Saturday]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VcQ7AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA131 |page=131 |title=Worship for the Whole People of God: Vital Worship for the 21st Century |author=Ruth C.

The faithful revisit the events of the day through the public reading of specific [[Psalms]] and the [[Gospel]]s, and singing [[hymn]]s about Christ's death. Rich visual imagery and symbolism, as well as stirring hymnody, are remarkable elements of these observances. In the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] understanding, the events of [[Holy Week]] are not simply an annual commemoration of past events, but the faithful actually participate in the death and the [[resurrection of Jesus]].<ref name="Bulg">{{Cite book

Great and Holy Friday is observed as an absolute [[Fasting|fast]], and adult Byzantine Christians are expected to abstain from all food and drink the entire day to the extent that their health permits. "On this Holy day neither a meal is offered nor do we eat on this day of the crucifixion. If someone is unable or has become very old [or is] unable to fast, he may be given bread and water after sunset. In this way we come to the holy commandment of the Holy Apostles not to eat on Great Friday." (cf. ''[[Black Fast]]'')<ref name="Bulg"/>

===Matins of Holy and Great Friday===
The Byzantine Christian observance of Holy and Great Friday, which is formally known as '''The Order of Holy and Saving Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ''', begins on Thursday night with the '''Matins of the Twelve Passion Gospels'''. Scattered throughout this [[Matins]] service are twelve readings from all four of the Gospels which recount the events of the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion]] from the [[Last Supper]] through the [[Crucifixion]] and [[Holy Sepulchre|burial]] of Jesus. Some churches have a candelabrum with twelve candles on it, and after each Gospel reading one of the candles is extinguished.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Matins for Great and Holy Friday|url=https://mci.archpitt.org/sheetmusic/general/Holy_Friday_Matins.pdf|url-status=live|archive-date=3 October 2021|access-date=3 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003013131/https://mci.archpitt.org/sheetmusic/general/Holy_Friday_Matins.pdf}}</ref>
[[File:Agias Triados frescos cross.jpg|thumb|upright|Good Friday cross from the [[Katholikon|Catholicon]] at Holy Trinity Monastery, [[Meteora]], Greece]]

The first of these twelve readings<ref>{{Bibleverse||John|13:31–18:1|KJV}}</ref> is the longest Gospel reading of the [[Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar|liturgical year]], and is a [[concatenation]] from all [[four Gospels]]. Just before the sixth Gospel reading, which recounts Jesus being nailed to the cross, a large [[Christian cross|cross]] is carried out of the sanctuary by the priest, accompanied by [[incense]] and candles, and is placed in the center of the [[nave]] (where the congregation gathers) ''Sēmeron Kremātai Epí Xýlou'':

<blockquote>Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the Cross ''(three times)''. He who is King of the angels is arrayed in a crown of thorns. He who wraps the Heavens in clouds is wrapped in the purple of mockery. He who in Jordan set Adam free receives blows upon His face. The Bridegroom of the Church is transfixed with nails. The Son of the Virgin is pierced with a spear. We venerate Thy Passion, O Christ ''(three times)''. Show us also Thy glorious Resurrection.<ref>{{Cite book

The service does not end with the [[First Hour]], as usual, but with a special [[dismissal (liturgy)|dismissal]] by the priest:

<blockquote>May Christ our true God, Who for the salvation of the world endured spitting, and scourging, and buffeting, and the Cross, and death, through the intercessions of His [[Theotokos|most pure Mother]], of our holy and [[Holy Fathers|God-bearing fathers]], and of all the [[saint]]s, have mercy on us and save us, for He is good and the Lover of mankind.</blockquote>

===Royal Hours===
[[File:Service of the Royal Hours - Great Friday -- Annunciation, Toronto, 2014.JPG|right|thumb|Vigil during the Service of the Royal Hours]]
{{main|Royal Hours}}
The next day, in the forenoon on Friday, all gather again to pray the '''''Royal Hours''''',<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSgOFbH-fQ |title=Royal Hours |website=[[YouTube]] |date=26 April 2019 |access-date=30 April 2019 |archive-date=2 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002232857/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSgOFbH-fQ |url-status=live }}</ref> a special expanded celebration of the [[Little Hours]] (including the First Hour, [[Third Hour]], [[Sext|Sixth Hour]], [[Ninth Hour]] and [[Typica]]) with the addition of scripture readings ([[Old Testament]], [[Epistle]] and Gospel) and hymns about the Crucifixion at each of the Hours (some of the material from the previous night is repeated). This is somewhat more festive in character, and derives its name of "Royal" from both the fact that the Hours are served with more solemnity than normal, commemorating Christ the King who humbled himself for the salvation of mankind, and also from the fact that this service was in the past attended by the Emperor and his court.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What happened on Good Friday?

===Vespers of Holy and Great Friday===
[[File:Toronto-Apokathylosis-2012-04-13.jpg|thumb|The crucified Christ, just before the [[Deposition from the Cross]] and the placing of the [[Epitaphios (liturgical)|Epitaphios]] in the Sepulchre]]
In the afternoon, around 3 pm, all gather for the Vespers of the Taking-Down from the Cross,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTqiy-p7EkA |title=Vespers of the Taking-Down from the Cross |website=[[YouTube]] |date=26 April 2019 |access-date=30 April 2019 |archive-date=2 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002232858/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTqiy-p7EkA |url-status=live }}</ref> commemorating the [[Deposition from the Cross]]. Following Psalm 103 (104) and the Great Litany, 'Lord, I call' is sung without a Psalter reading. The first five stichera (the first being repeated) are taken from the Aposticha at Matins the night before, but the final 3 of the 5 are sung in Tone 2. Three more stichera in Tone 6 lead to the Entrance. The Evening Prokimenon is taken from Psalm 21 (22): 'They parted My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture.'

There are then four readings, with Prokimena before the second and fourth:

* Exodus 33:11-23 - God shows Moses His glory
* The second Prokimenon is from Psalm 34 (35): 'Judge them, O Lord, that wrong Me: fight against them that fight against Me.'
* Job 42:12-20 - God restores Job's wealth (note that verses 18-20 are found only in the Septuagint)
* Isaiah 52:13-54:1 - The fourth [[Servant songs|Suffering Servant song]]
* The third Prokimenon is from Psalm 87 (88): 'They laid me in the lowest pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.'
* 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:2 - St. Paul places Christ crucified as the centre of the Christian life

An Alleluia is then sung, with verses from Psalm 68 (69): 'Save Me, O God: for the waters are come in, even unto my soul.'

The Gospel reading is a composite taken from three of the four the Gospels (Matthew 27:1-38; Luke 23:39-43; Matthew 27:39-54; John 19:31-37; Matthew 27:55-61), essentially the story of the crucifixion as it appears according to St. Matthew, interspersed with St. Luke's account of the confession of the Good Thief and St. John's account of blood and water flowing from Jesus' side. During the Gospel, the body of Christ (the ''soma'') is removed from the cross, and, as the words in the Gospel reading mention Joseph of Arimathea, is wrapped in a linen shroud, and taken to the [[altar]] in the sanctuary.[[File:Gold embroidery example.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Epitaphios (liturgical)|epitaphios]] ("winding sheet"), depicting the preparation of the body of Jesus for burial]] The Aposticha reflects on the burial of Christ. Either at this point (in the Greek use) or during the troparion following (in the Slav use):

{{blockquote|text=Noble Joseph, taking down Thy most pure body from the Tree, wrapped it in pure linen and spices, and he laid it in a new tomb.<ref name="Ware-1977">{{cite book |last1=Ware |first1=Kallistos |last2=Mother Mary |title=The Lenten Triodion |date=1977 |publisher=St Tikhon's Seminary Press |location=South Canaan, PA |isbn=1-878997-51-3 |page=616}}</ref>}}

An ''[[Epitaphios (liturgical)|epitaphios]]'' or "winding sheet" (a cloth embroidered with the image of Christ prepared for burial) is carried in procession to a low table in the nave which represents the Tomb of Christ; it is often decorated with an abundance of flowers. The epitaphios itself represents the body of Jesus wrapped in a burial shroud, and is a roughly full-size cloth icon of the body of Christ. The service ends with a hope of the Resurrection:

{{blockquote|text=The Angel stood by the tomb, and to the women bearing spices he cried aloud: 'Myrrh is fitting for the dead, but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption.<ref name="Ware-1977"/>}}

Then the priest may deliver a [[homily]] and everyone comes forward to venerate the epitaphios. In the [[Slavic peoples|Slavic]] practice, at the end of Vespers, [[Compline]] is immediately served, featuring a special ''Canon of the Crucifixion of our Lord and the Lamentation of the Most Holy Theotokos'' by Symeon the Logothete.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Good Friday {{!}} Definition, History, & Facts|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Good-Friday|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2020-05-27|archive-date=2 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200502051925/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Good-Friday|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Matins of Holy and Great Saturday===
[[File:Epitaphios Peleka.jpg|thumb|left|The Epitaphios being carried in [[procession]] in a church in Greece]]
On Friday night, the Matins of [[Holy and Great Saturday]], a unique service known as ''The Lamentation at the Tomb''<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2_zMVTcdpg |title=The Lamentation at the Tomb |website=[[YouTube]] |date=26 April 2019 |access-date=30 April 2019 |archive-date=5 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005142107/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2_zMVTcdpg |url-status=live }}</ref> ''(Epitáphios Thrēnos)'' is celebrated. This service is also sometimes called ''Jerusalem Matins''. Much of the service takes place around the tomb of Christ in the center of the nave. In Greek communities all over the world, the Epitaphios procession is a ceremonial funeral procession for Christ that takes place in Greek Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic traditions on Good Friday, where a decorated kouvouklion is carried around local cities. The decorated kouvouklion symbolizes the casket or tomb of Jesus Christ, and when it is fully decorated with flowers, candles, and the special iconographic cloth depicting the dead body of Christ known as the epitaphios cloth, the entire object is referred to as the Epitaphios.<ref>{{Cite web|title=History of Good Friday – Good Friday Story, Eastergoodfriday.com|url=http://www.eastergoodfriday.com/history-of-good-friday.html|website=www.eastergoodfriday.com|access-date=2020-05-27|archive-date=3 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003004835/http://www.eastergoodfriday.com/history-of-good-friday.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[File:Epitaphios.jpg|thumb|Epitaphios adorned for veneration, Church of Saints Constantine and Helen, Hippodromion Sq., Thessaloniki, Greece]]
A unique feature of the service is the chanting of the Lamentations or Praises (''[[Encomium|Enkōmia]]''), which consist of verses chanted by the clergy 9 interspersed between the verses of [[Psalm 119|Psalm 118]] (which is, by far, the longest [[psalm]] in the Bible). The ''Enkōmia'' are the best-loved hymns of Greek Byzantine hymnography, both their poetry and their music being uniquely suited to each other and to the spirit of the day.<ref name="Maunder">{{Cite book |last=Maunder |first=Chris |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NgulDwAAQBAJ&dq=good+friday+possibly+before+the+time+of+St.+Romanos+the+Melodist.&pg=PA159 |title=The Oxford Handbook of Mary |date=2019-08-07 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-879255-0 |language=en}}</ref>
[[File:Holy Friday, Greece.png|thumb|350 px|left|''[[Holy Friday, Greece]]'' by [[Théodore Ralli|Théodore Jacques Ralli]] c. 1893, Greek women decorating the kouvouklion with flowers featuring the iconographic cloth known as the Epitaphios]]
They consist of 185 [[tercet]] [[antiphon]]s arranged in three parts (''stáseis'' or "stops"), which are interjected with the verses of Psalm 118, and nine short ''doxastiká'' ("[[Gloria in excelsis Deo|Gloriae]]") and ''Theotókia'' (invocations to the Virgin Mary). The three ''stáseis'' are each set to its own music, and are commonly known by their initial antiphons: {{lang|grc|Ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τάφῳ}}, "Life in a grave", {{lang|grc|Ἄξιον ἐστί}}, "Worthy it is", and {{lang|grc|Αἱ γενεαὶ πᾶσαι}}, "All the generations". Musically they can be classified as [[strophic]], with 75, 62, and 48 tercet [[stanza]]s each, respectively.<ref name="Maunder"/>

The climax of the ''Enkōmia'' comes during the third ''stásis'', with the antiphon "Ω γλυκύ μου ἔαρ", a lamentation of the Virgin for her dead Child ("O, my sweet spring, my sweetest child, where has your beauty gone?"). Later, during a different antiphon of that stasis ("Early in the morning the myrrh-bearers came to Thee and sprinkled myrrh upon Thy tomb"), young girls of the parish place flowers on the Epitaphios and the priest sprinkles it with rose-water. The author(s) and date of the ''Enkōmia'' are unknown. Their High Attic linguistic style suggests a dating around the 6th century, possibly before the time of [[St. Romanos the Melodist]].<ref name="Maunder"/>
[[File:Epitaph Adelaide.jpg|thumb|The Epitaphios mounted upon return of procession, at an Orthodox Church in Adelaide, Australia]]

The Evlogitaria (Benedictions) of the Resurrection are sung as on Sunday, since they refer to the conversation between the myrrh-bearers and the angel in the tomb, followed by kathismata about the burial of Christ. Psalm 50 (51) is then immediately read, and then followed by a much loved-canon, written by Mark the Monk, Bishop of Hydrous and Kosmas of the Holy City, with irmoi by Kassiani the Nun. The high-point of the much-loved Canon is Ode 9, which takes the form of a dialogue between Christ and the Theotokos, with Christ promising His Mother the hope of the Resurrection. This Canon will be sung again the following night at the Midnight Office.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Smith |first1=William |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LTb6zWm5PMcC&dq=%22Ode+9%22+%22saturday%22+%22midnight+office%22&pg=PA1446 |title=Encyclopaedic Dictionary Of Christian Antiquities (in 9 Volumes) |last2=Cheetham |first2=Samuel |date=2005 |publisher=Concept Publishing Company |isbn=978-81-7268-111-1 |pages=1446 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Drillock |first1=David |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LD3IFU9NklwC&dq=%22Ode+9%22+%22saturday%22+%22Evlogitaria%22&pg=PR5 |title=Holy Week |last2=Erickson |first2=John H. |date=2005 |publisher=St Vladimir's Seminary Press |isbn=978-0-88141-023-5 |language=en}}</ref>

Lauds follows, and its stichera take the form of a funeral lament, while always preserving the hope of the Resurrection. The doxasticon links Christ's rest in the tomb with His rest on the seventh day of creation, and the theotokion ("Most blessed art thou, O Virgin Theotokos...) is the same as is used on Sundays.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}

At the end of the [[Great Doxology]], while the [[Trisagion]] is sung, the epitaphios is taken in [[crucession|procession]] around the outside of the church, and is then returned to the tomb. Some churches observe the practice of holding the epitaphios at the door, above waist level, so the faithful must bow down under it as they come back into the church, symbolizing their entering into the death and resurrection of Christ. The epitaphios will lie in the tomb until the Paschal Service early Sunday morning. In some churches, the epitaphios is never left alone, but is accompanied 24 hours a day by a reader chanting from the Psalter.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}

When the procession has returned to the church, a troparion is read, similar to the ones read at the Sixth Hour throughout Lent, focusing on the purpose of Christ's burial. A series of prokimena and readings are then said:

* The first prokimenon is from Psalm 43 (44): 'Arise, Lord, and help us: and deliver us for Thy Name's sake.'
* Ezekiel 37:1-14 - God tells Ezekiel to command bones to come to life.
* The second prokimenon is from Psalm 9 (9–10), and is based on the verses sung at the kathismata and Lauds on Sundays: 'Arise, O Lord my God, lift up Thine hand: forget not Thy poor forever.'
* 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Galatians 3:13-14 - St. Paul celebrates the Passion of Christ and explains its role in the life of Gentile Christians.
* The Alleluia verses are from Psalm 67 (68), and are based on the Paschal verses: 'Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered.'
* Matthew 27:62-66 - The Pharisees ask Pilate to set a watch at the tomb.

At the end of the service, a final hymn is sung as the faithful come to venerate the Epitaphios.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}

[[File:Karfreitag - Fürbitten.jpg|thumb|The Great Intercessions are sung at [[Heiligenkreuz Abbey]], Austria]]

The Good Friday liturgy consists of three parts: the [[Liturgy of the Word]], the Veneration of the Cross, and the [[Holy Communion]].
* The Liturgy of the Word consists of the clergy and assisting ministers entering in complete silence, without any singing. They then silently make a full [[prostration]].

In Rome, since the papacy of [[John Paul II]], the heights of the [[Temple of Venus and Roma]] and their position opposite the main entrance to the Colosseum have been used to good effect as a public address platform. This may be seen in the photograph below where a red canopy has been erected to shelter the Pope as well as an illuminated cross, on the occasion of the '''Way of the Cross''' ceremony. The Pope, either personally or through a representative, leads the faithful through meditations on the stations of the cross while a cross is carried from there to the Colosseum.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Traditional Via Crucis at the Colosseum in Rome|url=https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/traditional-crucis-colosseum-rome|access-date=2021-06-28|website=ITALY Magazine|language=en|archive-date=2 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002142350/https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/traditional-crucis-colosseum-rome|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Lutheran Church===
[[File:Chancel of Grace Lutheran Church on Good Friday.jpg|thumb|The [[chancel]] of this Lutheran church is adorned with black [[parament]]s on Good Friday, the liturgical colour associated with Good Friday in the Lutheran Churches.]]

In [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] tradition from the 16th to the 20th century, Good Friday was the most important religious holiday, and abstention from all worldly works was expected. During that time, Lutheranism had no restrictions on the celebration of the Eucharist on Good Friday; on the contrary, it was a prime day on which to receive the Eucharist, and services were often accentuated by special music such as the ''[[St Matthew Passion]]'' by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]].<ref name="GassmannOldenburg2011"/>

[[File: 2014-04-18 Apostelkirche Hannover, Karfreitag-Gottesdienst, (005) Johannespassion, William-Byrd-Ensemble, Apostelchor, Andreas Schmidt-Adolf, Erwin Schütterle.jpg|thumb|Good Friday service in a Lutheran church in [[Hanover]], Germany, 2014]]

More recently, Lutheran liturgical practice has recaptured Good Friday as part of the larger sweep of the great Three Days: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Vigil of Easter. The three days remain one liturgy which celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus. As part of the liturgy of the three days, Lutherans generally fast from the Eucharist on Good Friday. Rather, it is celebrated in remembrance of the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and at the [[Vigil of Easter]]. One practice among Lutheran churches is to celebrate a [[Tenebrae#Lutheran practice|tenebrae]] service on Good Friday, typically conducted in candlelight and consisting of a collection of passion accounts from the four gospels. While being called "Tenebrae" it holds little resemblance to the now-suppressed Catholic monastic rite of the same name.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.historiclectionary.com/2010/03/a-word-about-tenebrae |title=A Word About Tenebrae | |publisher=Historiclectionary.com |date=22 March 2010 |access-date=23 April 2014 |archive-date=6 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211006232713/http://www.historiclectionary.com/2010/03/a-word-about-tenebrae/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Good Friday liturgy appointed in ''[[Evangelical Lutheran Worship]]'', the worship book of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, specifies a liturgy similar to the revised Roman Catholic liturgy. A rite for adoration of the crucified Christ includes the optional singing of the [[Improperia#Lutheranism|Solemn Reproaches]] in an updated and revised translation which eliminates some of the [[Jewish deicide|anti-Jewish overtones]] in previous versions. Many Lutheran churches have Good Friday services, such as the [[Three Hours' Agony]] centered on the remembrance of the "Seven Last Words," sayings of Jesus assembled from the four gospels, while others hold a liturgy that places an emphasis on the triumph of the cross, and a singular biblical account of the Passion narrative from the Gospel of John.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Johnson |first=Maxwell E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2l93BwAAQBAJ&dq=%22Evangelical+Lutheran+Worship%22+%22good+friday+liturgy%22&pg=PT124 |title=The Church in Act: Lutheran Liturgical Theology in Ecumenical Conversation |date=2015-04-01 |publisher=Fortress Press |isbn=978-1-4514-9668-0 |language=en}}</ref>

In the Anglican Communion, the [[Black Fast]] has been historically observed by devout believers.<ref name="Armentrout2000">{{cite book|last=Armentrout|first=Don S.|title=An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church|date=1 January 2000|publisher=Church Publishing, Inc.|language=en|isbn=9780898697018|page=139}}</ref> The Black Fast was especially popular during the 19th century as it sought to imitate "the fasting of the ancient church."<ref name="Armentrout2000"/>

The [[Book of Common Prayer (1662)|1662 ''Book of Common Prayer'']] did not specify a particular rite to be observed on Good Friday but local custom came to mandate an assortment of services, including the Seven Last Words from the Cross and a three-hour service consisting of Matins, Ante-communion (using the [[Reserved Sacrament]] in [[high church]] parishes) and [[Evening Prayer (Book of Common Prayer)|Evensong]]. In recent times,{{When|date=April 2017}} revised editions of the Prayer Book and [[Common Worship]] have re-introduced pre-[[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]] forms of observance of Good Friday corresponding to those in today's Roman Catholic Church, with special nods to the rites that had been observed in the Church of England prior to the [[English Reformation|Henrican, Edwardian and Elizabethan reforms]], including Creeping to the Cross.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9KelyELTFVwC&dq=%22Creeping+to+the+Cross%22+%22good+friday+liturgy%22&pg=PA95 |title=Preaching in the Age of Chaucer: Selected Sermons in Translation (Medieval Texts in Translation Series) |date=2008 |publisher=CUA Press |isbn=978-0-8132-1529-7 |pages=95 |language=en}}</ref>

===Germany===

In Germany Good Friday is known as ''Karfreitag'' (''kara'' means "sorrow" in [[Old High German]]); it is a ''Stiller Feiertag'' (silent holiday), and there are strict rules banning activities deemed disrespectful to Christians. Rules vary among the sixteen different federal states, but often prohibit dancing and the use of loud appliances such as lawnmowers and leaf blowers. Nightclubs are shut, and films that may be shown in cinemas are restricted.

In recent times the holiday has been informally called ''Carfreitag'' by extreme car enthusiasts, including those from other countries who visit Germany, who [[Car tuning|tune cars]] illegally and hold [[Street racing|illegal races]] on public roads. Police seek to prevent unauthorised tuning, illegal races, noise, and pollution. Offenders can be fined and have points put on their licences, and in some cases lose their licences and have their cars confiscated.<ref>{{cite news| last=Connolly | first=Kate | title=German police crack down on illegal street car tuning as season begins |newspaper=The Guardian | date=18 April 2025 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/18/german-police-crack-down-on-street-car-tuning-as-its-season-begins}}</ref>

===Poland===
In Polish churches, a tableau of Christ's Tomb is unveiled in the sanctuary. Many of the faithful spend long hours into the night grieving at the Tomb, where it is customary to kiss the wounds on the Lord's body. A life-size figure of Jesus lying in his tomb is widely visited by the faithful, especially on Holy Saturday. The tableaux may include flowers, candles, figures of angels standing watch, and the three crosses atop Mt Calvary, and much more. Each parish strives to come up with the most artistically and religiously evocative arrangement in which the Blessed Sacrament, draped in a filmy veil, is prominently displayed.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

==Calculating the date==
{{see also|Date of Easter}}
{{Dates for Good Friday}}

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter, which is calculated differently in [[Eastern Christianity]] and [[Western Christianity]] (see [[Computus]] for details). Easter falls on the first Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, the full moon on or after 21 March, taken to be the date of the vernal [[equinox]]. The Western calculation uses the [[Gregorian calendar]], while the Eastern calculation uses the [[Julian calendar]], whose 21 March now corresponds to the Gregorian calendar's 3 April. The calculations for identifying the date of the full moon also differ.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

In Eastern Christianity, Easter can fall between 22 March and 25 April on Julian Calendar (thus between 4 April and 8 May in terms of the Gregorian calendar, during the period 1900 and 2099), so Good Friday can fall between 20 March and 23 April, inclusive (or between 2 April and 6 May in terms of the Gregorian calendar).{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

A Wednesday Crucifixion of Jesus allows for him to be in the tomb ("heart of the earth") for three days and three nights as he told the Pharisees he would be (Matthew 12:40), rather than two nights and a day (by [[Counting#Inclusive counting|inclusive counting]], as was the norm at that time) if he had died on a Friday.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thebereancall.org/node/5889 |title=The Cradle & the Cross (original) |publisher=thebereancall.org |date=1 December 1992 |access-date=23 April 2014 |archive-date=4 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100804072020/http://www.thebereancall.org/node/5889 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/19941.html |website=factnet.org |title=Cult, Cults, Abuse by Religions, Abuse Recovery Discussion & Resources, Peer-Support, Legal support |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416103539/http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/19941.html |archive-date=16 April 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==History==

After contact with the British, the agrarian Sikkimese society witnessed a drastic change in land use and settlement pattern. The British encouraged migration of Nepalese to Sikkim mainly for agriculture and labour. The two Newar trade families of Lachhimidas Pradhan and Chandrabir Maskey from princely estates of Kathmandu were given land as a contract or ‘’thika’’. These new landlords hence came to be known as Newar Thikadars. They could mint coins as ‘’Taksaris’’, engage labourers to clear forests for agriculture and encourage human settlements in their estates.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=16 April 2023 |title=Wayback Machine has not archived that URL. |url=http://14.139.211.59/bitstream/123456789/1239/10/10_chapter_04.pdf}}{{dl|date=April 2023}}</ref>

In 1867, [[Newar]] trader Lachhimidas Pradhan was the first Nepalese to be given territories in East and South Sikkim by Khangsa Dewan and Phudong Lama under British influence by issuing a “Sanad”(ordinance) establishing a hereditary feudal estates. Lachhimidas and his brother Chandrabir Pradhan divided the areas into number of estates to be distributed within the members of the family. During this period another Newar family led by Chandrabir Maskey settled in Sadam, South Sikkim. In the same year an agreement was reached between the two families where Chandrabir Maskey was given the Pendam, Temi, Regu, Pakyong and Chotta Pathing estates. Lachhimidas Pradhan and his family took control of the estate bordering [[Majitar]] to Kaleej khola and Barmick in South Sikkim. His brother Chandrabir Pradhan(Kasaju) Chandrabir (Kasaju} was given Rhenock, Mamring, Pache Khani, and Taja along with a joint supervision of Dilding and parts of Pendam. “Ilakhas” or estates of Sadam, Pachekhani, Dikling and parts of Pendam were put under joint supervision of both the families.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://14.139.211.59/bitstream/123456789/1239/13/13_appendix.pdf|title= Role of Llu.chimadas Pradhan and his family for the socio- economic development of Sikkim|access-date= 2022-02-03|archive-date= 2022-06-07|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220607034026/http://14.139.211.59/bitstream/123456789/1239/13/13_appendix.pdf|url-status= live}}</ref><ref name="rhenock"/>

Thikadars who were granted lessee landlordships were mostly from the Nepali [[Newar]]s and enjoyed a position just below the Kazis. Later, Kazis and Thikadars were more or less given equal status as the institution evolved in Sikkim.

Families of six traders - Lachhimidas Pradhan, Kancha Chandbir Pradhan, Chandrabir Pradhan Maskey of Pakyong, Jitman Singh Pradhan, Prasad Singh Chettri of Tarku Estate and Bharaddoj Gurung of Khani Goan were addressed as “Taksaris” who were given land estates on lease to mint coins.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://gorkhapedia.wikidot.com/the-coinage-system-of-sikkim|title= Coinage of Sikkim|access-date= 2022-02-03|archive-date= 2022-02-02|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220202055704/http://gorkhapedia.wikidot.com/the-coinage-system-of-sikkim|url-status= live}}</ref>

==Legacy==
The Newar Taksaris are considered accomplished in the fields of trade, administration, agriculture, arts and business. They are credited with bringing coinage system to Sikkim and contributing to economic and agricultural growth of the Himalayan state. The first cart road connecting [[Teesta]] with [[Gangtok]] was built by the Taksaris. Bazaars of [[Rangpo]], [[Singtam]], [[Rhenock]] and [[Rongli]] were established due to the efforts of the Taksaris of Sikkim. In the judicial history of Sikkim, some of the earliest courts established in the former kingdom was the “Adda” courts of the Kazis and Thikadars. A Taksari family's residence is known as a ''Kothi'' accompanied with a ''Kuchcheri''(court) which had jurisdiction over their land estate. There are many well preserved Kothis and Kuchcheris across Sikkim under the possession of the descendants of the Taksaris. To encourage floriculture Chandra Nursery was established in Rhenock by Rai Saheb Ratna Bahadur Pradhan in 1910. Some descendents have also converted their traditional residencies into heritage hotels and museums. Many members of the Taksari families have held influential position in political, economical and social life of Sikkim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.turukkothiheritage.com/pages/about.html|title=About | Turuk Kothi – The Heritage Home|website=Turukkothiheritage.com|access-date=3 February 2022|archive-date=3 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220203043332/http://www.turukkothiheritage.com/pages/about.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://newarsinsikkim.weebly.com/10/post/2011/10/the-newars-aspect-in-zamindari-system-in-sikkim-kalo-bhari-and-jharlange-demystified.html|title=THE NEWARS ASPECT IN ZAMINDARI SYSTEM IN SIKKIM : Kalo-bhari and Jharlange demystified|website=Newarsinsikkim.weebly.com|access-date=3 February 2022|archive-date=23 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323052845/http://newarsinsikkim.weebly.com/ins-and-outs/the-newars-aspect-in-zamindari-system-in-sikkim-kalo-bhari-and-jharlange-demystified|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="rhenock">{{cite web |last1=Rai |first1=Prava |title=Rhenock: The Forgotten Black Hill — Sikkim Project |url=https://www.sikkimproject.org/rhenock-the-forgotten-black-hill/ |website=sikkimproject.org |access-date=16 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220218041256/https://www.sikkimproject.org/rhenock-the-forgotten-black-hill/ |archive-date=February 18, 2022 |language=en |date=18 February 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>

|Kadambari for me is a challenge . . . . this role is a different challenge. It is a period film based on real life incidents and characters. The role demands that I remain conscious of my makeup, costume, dialogue delivery, body language etc. Yet act naturally. Because I have to pretend that I belong to a Bengal of a bygone era. Kadambari is famous in Bengal's cultural and literary history. I cannot take too many liberties with the external aspects of the character. I am confident that with the hard work I put in and the good wishes of my mentors and fans, I will certainly live up to the expectations of my audience with my enactment of Kadambari.

She mesmerized with her verve. She created a jugglery with the rapid change in posture and movement especially in the north-eastern Indian sequence and the spectators were bewitched and awe-struck. She has really been a sincere observer and lover of Indian heritage. She has that probing Indian mind that keeps searching and researching on what the modern, cultural outcome has descended from or the overlooked factors of our heritage.

Roy had an interrupted dance career due to her commitment to film industry. She was always in a dilemma regarding which to focus primarily on between dance and film. After the major success of ''Bichitro'', Roy was persuaded by some of her close ones to pay priority to her dance over her film career as she was regarded as much more excellent as a dancer than an actress. As Roy was, at that time, the most bankable female star of Bengali cinema, directors and producers did not want her to focus less on her film career.<ref name=":5" /> Besides, Roy was getting offered to essay a lot of substantial roles and she did not want to refuse them for the sake of her stage career.

But I can vouch for the fact that not even for a day did Chumki and I go out or even watch a film together. We didn't date. Suddenly, one day, Chumki came to my flat and said, 'I want to marry you'. Huh! She said, 'I've left my house and you have to marry me, right now'. At that moment I felt like I was some Prithviraj Chauhan! On top of the world! I was a big star then and I agreed and we tied the knot. Everything was going fine and then one day Chumki left me."

| width = 80%|At that time my marriage to Prosenjit was going through a bad patch. Nothing I did could make him happy. Our relationship was never like a husband-wife relationship should be – where the two compromise and adjust. I did try to adjust, but my efforts were of no avail as Bumba did neither. I know that he'd have been happy if I gave up acting altogether and became a housewife. But that was something I didn't want to do and he knew it even before he married me. Anyway I had virtually stopped acting during that period because my domestic life was in such a mess. Bumba was very insecure of my success. He was professionally jealous of me. I think his ego, his jealousy and his inferiority complex worked in his mind against me. To him I was the actress Debasree Roy and not his wife Chumki.

== Plot ==
{{more plot|date=June 2021}}
The conservative [[Brahmin]] Pathanjali Sasthri severs relations with his modern brother-in-law Bharathi, a doctor. When Sasthri's wife Parvathi, who had two miscarriages, finds herself pregnant, she goes to her brother to get medical aid and incurs the displeasure of her husband. The wife gives birth to a son but simultaneously adopts the son of a lower-caste woman who [[Maternal death|died in childbirth]], creating some confusion for Sasthri as to which baby is his son. Eventually the couple raise the adopted child while their biological son becomes a [[rickshaw]]-puller. The two boys grow up and become friends. In the end, the family reunites.

== Plot ==

Manokamna "Mannu" Tripathi ([[Nushrratt Bharuccha]]) is an ambitious and smart girl who lives with her parents, two younger sisters and a younger brother. She is adored by her childhood friend Devi, who is in love with her but never expresses it in front of her. To escape the pressure from her family to get married, Mannu takes a high-paying job as a sales executive at a condom manufacturing factory, which Devi joins later. She excels at her job despite the hurdles. She soon meets and falls in love with Ranjan Prajapati, a freelance [[nautanki]] artist who lives in a joint family led by his overbearing father, Keval Prajapati.

Mannu and Ranjan bribe the Pandit to make their matrimonial alliance seem an arranged marriage as Keval is against love marriage. After the wedding, Ranjan's family finds out the true nature of Mannu's work and forces her to quit the job. Mannu starts selling plastic boxes; one of her colleagues undergoes abortion, as decided by the village's [[Nyaya panchayat]], and dies of infection. This shocks Mannu who decides to return to her previous job and use it as a means to create awareness for safe sex, as it's only women who suffer the emotional, physical and mental consequences. Her father-in-law, who is contesting municipality elections, summons her parents and asks Mannu to a divorce. Mannu confronts Ranjan for not standing up for her and willing to divorce her despite his love for her and only to please his father. Ranjan promises to stand up to his father. The family court gives the couple six months to reconcile their differences before finalising divorce.

Mannu is determined to create awareness among women. She appears in a TV advertisement to promote the use of condoms as protection during sex, as opposed to the previous marketing strategy where it was sold as pleasure for men. She is approached by a [[Misogyny|misogynistic]] news reporter and she responds truthfully. The interview and ad become talk of the town, much to the chagrin of her father-in-law. On the election day, when he wins the election, he is told that his victory is in fact public support for Mannu. He walks away from the ceremony and throws Ranjan and Mannu out of the house when Ranjan refuses to sign the divorce papers. Ranjan's sister goes into labour. At the hospital, the doctor scolds her husband for impregnating her child following two miscarriages. Hearing his daughter's life is in danger, Keval asks his son-in-law, why he did not use condoms for protection. His father, Dadaji, points out that Mannu was trying to teach the same, but Keval could not accept that. Later doctor announces that the mother and child are safe and out of danger. Keval, after realising his mistake accepts Mannu's job and welcomes her back in the family. The movie ends with Mannu breaking the fourth wall - addressing the audience to be responsible by using protection.

'''Nurpur''' is a town and a [[municipal council]] in [[Kangra district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. It was formerly part of the [[Nurpur State]] since the 11th century AD. It got its name from [[Nur Jahan]], the wife of [[Mughal emperor]] [[Jahangir]], when they visited Kangra (Nagarkot) after [[Jahangir]]'s successful conquest of the Kangra Fort.

==Geography==
Nurpur is located at {{coord|32.3|N|75.9|E|}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/11/Nurpur.html |title=Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Nurpur |publisher=Fallingrain.com |date= |accessdate=2 July 2012}}</ref> It has an average elevation of 643 metres (2109 feet).

==Demographics==
{{As of|2001}}, according to the India [[census]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archivedate=16 June 2004|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|accessdate=1 November 2008|publisher= Census Commission of India}}</ref> Nurpur had a population of 9,045. Men constitute 52% of the population and women 48%. Nurpur has an average literacy rate of 78%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 81%, and female literacy is 75%. In Nurpur, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. Majority of population is [[Hindu]] and [[Kangri language]] is spoken in Nurpur.

== Climate ==
Nurpur has a pleasant climate. The summer season is slightly higher than Himachal Pradesh's seasonal average, but the morning and evening daily weather is relatively cooler, thanks to a sustained, chilled breeze descending from the nearby snow-clad Dhauladhar mountains. During the monsoon season, there is a considerable amount of rainfall because Dharamsala, which receives second highest rainfall in India, is nearby. The winter season is very cold because of windchill from the aforementioned Dhauladhar. The temperature during the summertime rises up to 40 °C, but only for a few days at a time. Monsoons arrive by the end of June and remains until September. The presence of tourists peaks between October and November, largely because of the ideal weather.

'''Alipurduar Junction''' is one of the four railway stations that serve [[Alipurduar]] city in [[Alipurduar district]] in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. Its station code is APDJ and it lies in [[New Jalpaiguri–Alipurduar–Samuktala Road line]] and [[Alipurduar–Bamanhat branch line]]. An adjacent railway junction is {{stnlnk|New Alipurduar}} (station code NOQ).

==History==
The [[Cooch Behar State Railway]] built a {{track gauge|2ft6in}} [[narrow-gauge railway]] from [[Geetaldaha]] on the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]] to Jainti in 1901. The line passed through Alipurduar. It was converted to {{track gauge|1000mm}} [[metre gauge]] in 1910.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

With the [[partition of India]] in 1947, railway links of [[Assam]] and the Indian part of [[North Bengal]], earlier passing through the eastern part of [[Bengal]], were completely cut off from the rest of India. The Assam Rail Link project was taken up on 26 January 1948 to construct a {{convert|229|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} {{track gauge|1000mm}} [[metre-gauge railway]] linking [[Fakiragram]] with [[Kishanganj]] in [[Bihar]] via Alipurduar.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.nfr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,1,444 |title = History of NFR|publisher=Northeast Frontier Railway| access-date = 2013-02-22 }}</ref> The first train ran on the route on 26 January 1950. The route was converted to {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] in 2003–2006.<ref name=iricen>{{cite web | url = http://wiki.iricen.gov.in/doku/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=11301:vps.pdf | title = Role of Engineering Deptt in Meeting Corporate Objectives of Indian Railways | first = V.P. | last = Srivastava | access-date = 2013-02-21 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140330160317/http://wiki.iricen.gov.in/doku/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=11301:vps.pdf | archive-date = 30 March 2014 | url-status = dead | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

Now all the railway tracks in Alipurduar city are broad gauge.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

==Other adjacent stations==
Two adjacent local railway stations are Alipurduar (station code APD) and Alipurduar Court (station code APDC). Long-distance trains do not stop there.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Most of the long-distance trains from other parts of India pass through and stop at New Alipurduar railway junction (station code NOQ) constructed in the early 1950s as it is connected with double track to Assam and the rest of Bengal. The older Alipurduar station was on metre-gauge track that was converted to broad gauge much later in 2006 and fewer trains pass through Alipurduar station.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

The two junctions are on different lines and only one short-distance train Alipurduar–Kamakhya InterCity Express (train number 15471) runs between the two junctions.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Northeast Frontier Railway converted the Alipurduar–Bamanhat branch line to {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] in 2007.<ref name=iricen />

'''HMIS ''Lawrence'' (L83)''' was a [[sloop of war|sloop]], commissioned in 1919 into the [[Royal Indian Marine]] (RIM).<ref name="JFS31 p96"/><ref name=ub-lawrence>{{Cite web|url=http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3876.html|title=HMIS Lawrence (L 83 / U 83) of the Royal Indian Navy - Indian Sloop of the 24 class - Allied Warships of WWII - uboat.net}}</ref>

She served during [[World War II]] in the [[Royal Indian Navy]] (RIN), the successor to the RIM. Her [[pennant number]] was changed to '''U83''' in 1940. Although originally built as a minesweeper, she was primarily used as a convoy escort during the war. She was scrapped soon after the end of the war.

==History==
HMIS ''Lawrence'' was ordered under the Emergency War Programme of the [[World War I|First World War]],{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} being launched at [[William Beardmore and Company]] on 30 July 1919 and completed on 27 December 1919.<ref name="JFS31 p96"/> In the immediate post-war years, ''Lawrence'' was used by the Royal Indian Marine for servicing buoys and lighthouses and as a transport for high officials in the [[Persian Gulf]].<ref name="RIN p6-7">Collins 1964, pp. 6–7.</ref>

In 1925 while conducting anti-slavery patrols the ship conducted a bombardment of [[Fujairah Fort]], destroying three of the forts towers.<ref>Zahlan, Rosemarie Said (2016-03-22). The origins of the United Arab Emirates : a political and social history of the Trucial States. London. p. 165. ISBN 9781317244653. OCLC 945874284.</ref>

On the outbreak of the Second World War, the ''Lawrence'', whose armament had been increased by the addition of four [[3-pounder gun]]s and a second 2-pounder pom-pom,<ref name="RIN p13">Collins 1964, p. 13.</ref> deployed to [[Masirah Island]] off the coast of [[Oman]] where it was used to carry out patrols,<ref name="RIN p33">Collins 1964, p. 33.</ref> taking part in the unsuccessful search for the missing airliner [[Handley Page H.P.42#G-AAGX Hannibal|Hannibal]] in March 1940.<ref name="RIN p36">Collins 1964, p. 36.</ref>

Immediately prior to the outbreak of the [[Anglo-Iraqi War]], ''Lawrence'' helped to cover the landing of the [[20th Indian Infantry Brigade]] at Basra on 18 April 1941.<ref name="RIN p71-2">Collins 1964, pp. 71–72.</ref> When Britain and the Soviet Union [[Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran|invaded Iran]] in August 1941, ''Lawrence'' took part in the attack on [[Abadan, Iran|Abadan]] on 25 August 1941, boarding and capturing the Iranian gunboats ''Karkas'' and ''Shahbaaz'' and two Italian merchant ships.<ref name="RIN p78-82,88-2">Collins 1964, pp. 78–82, 88–92.</ref>

In late 1944 ''Lawrence'' was assigned to HMIS ''Himalaya'', the Gunnery school in [[Karachi]] as a Gunnery School Firing Ship,<ref name="RIN p128">Collins 1964, p. 128.</ref> and joined the Bombay training squadron in November 1945.<ref name="RIN p144">Collins 1964, p. 144.</ref>

''Lawrence'' was decommissioned and scrapped in 1947, two years after the end of the war.

The [[Meitei people]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯩꯇꯩ ꯀꯥꯡꯂꯨꯞ}}), also known as the [[Manipuris]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯃꯅꯤꯄꯨꯔꯤ ꯃꯤꯌꯥꯝ}}),<ref>{{Cite web|title=Meitei {{!}} Manipur, People, Culture, & Language {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Meitei|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}</ref> originating primarily from the [[northeast India]]n state of [[Manipur]] and to a lesser extent from [[Meitei people in Bangladesh|Meitei populated areas of Bangladesh]], constitute a small but gradually expanding diaspora in [[the Americas]], notably in the [[Meitei people in the United States|United States]] and [[Meitei people in Canada|Canada]]. This population includes individuals who have migrated for educational, professional, and familial reasons. Within their host countries, Meiteis participate in multicultural settings while maintaining elements of [[Meitei culture|their cultural identity]]. Expressions of Meitei heritage—through cinema, [[Meitei cuisine|cuisine]], dance, music, and [[Meitei festivals|festivals]]—are occasionally presented on community and international platforms in the region.<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" />
Organizations such as the Association of Meiteis in the Americas (AMA), the North American Manipuri Association (NAMA), and the North American Bangladeshi Manipuri Society (NABMS) contribute to the development of the diaspora community. These associations facilitate cultural exchange, provide support networks, and promote community engagement among Meiteis in North America.<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" />

In the U.S., the Meitei community started moving there in the 1960s. Now, there are about 1,000 Meitei people living in different states. They celebrate festivals, share their culture, and take part in American life. In Canada, the Meitei community is smaller but still active. Some work in schools, hospitals, and other jobs. In Mexico, there is no large Meitei community. Most Meitei people who go there are part of cultural programs, like dancers or musicians, who visit for a short time and then go back to India.<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" />

== USA ==
{{Main|Meitei people in the United States of America}}

The Meitei people of the United States hail primarily from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur and parts of Bangladesh. Since the late 1960s, they have gradually migrated to the United States, beginning with students and skilled professionals seeking education and career opportunities. Over the decades, migration occurred in several waves, with the community growing steadily to around 1,000 individuals by 2020. Today, Meitei populations are spread across numerous states, including [[New Jersey]], [[California]], [[Texas]], and [[Virginia]], among others, where they have started to establish a vibrant presence.<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121">Routledge Handbook of Asian Diaspora and Development.

Despite being a relatively small diaspora, the Meitei community in the U.S. actively preserves its cultural heritage through traditional cuisine, dance, festivals, and religious practices. They celebrate important cultural events like [[Ningol Chakouba]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯅꯤꯉꯣꯜ ꯆꯥꯛꯀꯧꯕ}}) and [[Yaoshang]] ({{Script|Mtei|ꯌꯥꯎꯁꯪ}}), perform classical Manipuri dances, and maintain [[Meitei cuisine|Meitei culinary traditions]] involving dishes like Eromba ({{Script|Mtei|ꯏꯔꯣꯝꯕ}}) and fermented delicacies.<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" /><ref name=":24th_NAMA_Annual_Convention_Report_2015" /> The community also contributes socially and economically by supporting relief efforts in Manipur, producing protective masks during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and promoting [[Meitei traditional games]].<ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" /> Additionally, efforts to sustain [[Meitei literature]] and language continue, although younger generations tend to be more comfortable with English.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Manipuri Literature Event In New York City 200607|url=https://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=news_section.Top_Stories.Manipuri_Literature_Event_In_New_York_City_200607}}</ref><ref name=":Taylor & Francis, 2021. p. 107-121" />

Compared to the United States and Canada, there are fewer Meitei people living in Mexico.
In 2018, a group of 15 Manipuri artists went to Mexico to perform at the 47th Festival International Cervantino, a cultural event. They performed Manipuri classical dances and music at eight different places, attracting large audiences. Their shows included famous dances like Basanta Ras ({{Script|Mtei|ꯕꯁꯟꯇ ꯔꯥꯁ}}), Pung Chollom ({{Script|Mtei|ꯄꯨꯡ ꯆꯣꯂꯣꯝ}}), and Dhol Chollom ({{Script|Mtei|ꯙꯣꯜ ꯆꯣꯂꯣꯝ}}). The troupe had 7 women and 8 men and was supported by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).<ref name=":Manipuri artistes wow audience in Mexico">{{Cite web|title=Manipuri artistes wow audience in Mexico : 25th oct18 ~ E-Pao!

This festival was special because India was the guest of honor for the first time, with 125 Indian artists from 10 groups performing. The Manipuri team, led by senior artist N Rina Devi, showcased their culture and helped make India's participation the biggest ever from Asia in [[Latin America]]. Their tour ended on October 25 with a final performance in Contzacoalcos.<ref name=":Manipuri artistes wow audience in Mexico" />

'''Yenning-tha''' ({{Script|Mtei|ꯌꯦꯟꯅꯤꯡꯊꯥ}}), also known as '''Yening-tha''' ({{Script|Mtei|ꯌꯦꯅꯤꯡꯊꯥ}}), refers to the [[Spring (season)|spring season]] in [[Meitei language]]. It is one of the seasons in the [[Meitei calendar]] of [[Ancient Kangleipak]] (early [[Manipur]]). It plays an important role in different elements of the [[Meitei culture]], including but not limited to [[Meitei festivals]], [[Meitei folklore]], [[Meitei folktales]], [[history of Manipur|Meitei history]], [[Meitei literature]], [[Meitei mythology]], [[Meitei proverbs]], [[traditional Meitei religion]] ([[Sanamahism]]), etc.<ref>The 10 Days - A Revelation: The Escape From Death. N.p.: N.P., 2016.</ref>

Yenning-tha is viewed as ''"the season of new sprouts; it is symbolic of new beginnings, new hopes and dreams"''. Multiple people refer to Yenning-tha as the season of new beginnings. It's seen as a sign of better times ahead and is linked to positive energy (including effervescent youthful spirit). It is considered as just opposite of the [[Naken-tha]] (autumn season).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Autumn Sentiment Sensibilities and the Maangang By Rekha Konsam|url=https://e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=reviews.arts.Autumn_Sentiment_Sensibilities_and_the_Maangang_By_Rekha_Konsam|access-date=2025-03-01|website=e-pao.net|quote=In Manipuri culture, spring is yenningtha, the season of new sprouts; it is symbolical of new beginnings, new hopes and dreams... Much has been said about spring or yenningtha as the season of re-awakening, a harbinger of hopefully good times and associated with positive energy. The effervescent youthful spirit of spring is qualitatively different from the calm of autumn.}}</ref>

== Overview ==
According to "Manipuri Language Studies", Yenning-tha is explained as follows:
{{quote|''yen is often shortened to ye (/n/ dropping) when it is compounded with another [[morpheme]] that begins with a /n/, /m/ or /i/ and follows it. ... The compound of ye (leaf) and ning (butt or buttocks), yening literally means the butt of a leaf, the butt-like projection of a leaf that emerges at the axil (the upper angle between a leaf or petiole and the stem, or between a branch and the trunk) in early spring, which is bud in English. Yening does not usually occur alone. It it often found in the phrases yening hunba ((of a tree) to bring forth new leaves in spring season and yeningtha (sping{{sic}} season, the months when trees bring forth new leaves and flowers bloom). When yeningtha begins, yenou or new/young leaves (ye meaning leaf and nou meaning new) emerges on trees, shrubs and other perennial plants that have been bare since the fall. Young leaves breaking forth in early spring is called yenou chongba or yenou hunba.''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Meaning of "ye(n)" in "yening" etc.|url=https://manipuri.boards.net/thread/2/meaning-ye-yening-etc|website=Manipuri Language Studies}}</ref>}}

== In Meitei festivals ==
[[Yaoshang]], a popular [[Meitei festival]] is annually celebrated during the spring season.<ref>KANGLA LANPUNG VOLUME XII ISSUE I: Summer 2018. N.p.: RK Sanatomba Memorial Trust, Imphal, Manipur, 2018. p. 81</ref>

The precincts of a temple (not different from the annual agricultural cycle) are related to the several Rasa dance forms of the classical [[Manipuri dance]]. According to Meitei traditions, the spring season gives rise to the Basanta rasa and the autumnal to the Maha rasa.<ref>Vatsyayan, Kapila.

A seven-day Manipuri Solo Dance festival “Okchari Yeningtha” was organized by the Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy (JNMDA), Imphal in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Service|first=NEA News|date=2021-02-21|title=Manipuri solo dance festival 'Okchari Yeningtha' begins|url=https://thenortheastaffairs.com/manipuri-solo-dance-festival-okchari-yeningtha-begins/|access-date=2025-03-01|website=Latest News, Manipur News, Breaking News of Northeast, India News, World News {{!}} The Northeast Affairs {{!}} The NEA|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Solo dance fest kicks off : 22nd feb21 ~ E-Pao!

== In Meitei literature {{anchor|In Meitei mythology and folklore}} ==
=== The Kumdamsei ===
{{main|Kumdamsei}}
The [[Meitei language]] poem Kumdamsei has a musical rhythm. It talks about the spring season representing a new start. It shows that Earth is full of life again. The sun brings a new day and spreads light over the villages. This gives hope and inspires people to connect emotionally with the ancient Meitei way of life.<ref name=":Taylor&Francis_Kumdamsei">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DEZ1EAAAQBAJ&dq=kumdamsei&pg=PT169|title=Northeast India Through the Ages: A Transdisciplinary Perspective on Prehistory, History, and Oral History|last=Bhattacharyya|first=Rituparna|date=2022-07-29|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-000-62390-1|location=India|pages=169, 170|language=en}}</ref>

Seasonal changes show the natural order of the universe. The changing seasons are like the stages of a person’s life: from birth to adulthood, old age, and death. This reminds people that death is a natural part of life.<ref name=":Taylor&Francis_Kumdamsei" />
The seasons also help people learn about celestial events. This helps make a calendar for farmers. The calendar tells them when to plant their crops. Without it, farming would be hard to manage.<ref name=":Taylor&Francis_Kumdamsei" />
=== The Leiron ===
The [[Meitei language]] text Leiron talks about the spring season as follows:
{{quote|The swamp now presents a spectacle of teeming tender grass. The field is pointed green with young shoots...<ref>Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature: K to Navalram. India: Sahitya Akademi. 1987. p. 2494. ISBN 978-0-8364-2283-2.</ref>}}

[[File:Bombaywardsmap''H-E''.PNG|thumb|180px|Location of Khar-Santa Cruz in Mumbai.]]
'''Khar''' (Marathi pronunciation: [[Help:IPA/Marathi|[kʰaːɾ]]]) is an affluent [[suburb]] of [[Mumbai]], north of [[Bandra]] and south of [[Santacruz, Mumbai]]. Originally one of the 'villages' that made up the larger Bandra, the present suburb is divided into Khar West and Khar East areas. It is serviced by [[Khar Road]] railway station of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. It is an area within convenient distances of several schools, restaurants, parks, promenades and shopping centres. Khar bears the Mumbai Postal Index Number (Pin Code) 400052.

Khar, which is derived from the word ''Khāra'' (meaning 'salty' in the local language [[Marathi language|Marathi]]) has acquired this name in reference to the salt pans that were used to farm salt by locals near the [[Khar Danda]] sea shore a couple of centuries ago. Here, one also finds the historic fishing village of "[[Khar Danda]]", which is one of the villages that made up the original Bandra area and is also one of the oldest settlements of Mumbai.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kharwest.com/blog/khar-danda-khar-west/|title=Khar Danda {{!}} KharWest.com - Khar West Local News|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110042336/http://kharwest.com/blog/khar-danda-khar-west/|archive-date=2013-11-10|access-date=2020-04-27}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Mumbai 03-2016 06 Khar Road station.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Khar Road]] station]]

Most of the historic Khar area of [[Bandra]] was a marshland of salty sea water.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} Alongside fishing, salt production was one of the vocations that sustained the earliest dwellers of Khar Danda.

[[Pathare Prabhus]] were one of the earliest inhabitants of Khar, from almost a century and half ago. In the early 1900s, the Pathare Prabhu community lived in South Mumbai and used their quaint bungalows in Khar as weekend dwellings. [[Khar Danda]] was one of the original villages of the erstwhile larger Bandra. Back then, the local Bandra railway station was felt distant to alight from trains and hire 'tangas' (horse carriages) to get to these bungalows in the Khar part of Bandra. Keeping these factors in mind, as well as the growing number of homes in this part, a second railway station named 'Khar Road' was introduced in north Bandra on 1 July 1924. This development is the primary reason for Khar to start being spoken of as a suburb by itself.<ref name="NDTV.com article">{{cite news |title=Mumbai's Khar Station Turns 90 |url=https://www.ndtv.com/mumbai-news/mumbais-khar-station-turns-90-582737 |access-date=July 1, 2014 |publisher=ndtv.com}}</ref> The Pathare Prabhu community still has land ownership over a large area of Bandra/Khar.

== Profile ==
Raman Lamba was born on 2 January 1960 in [[Meerut]]. He was a right-handed batsman who was noted for his fitness. He commenced his [[Ranji Trophy]] career in 1980-81 and continued until his death in the 1997–98 season. He scored 6,362 runs at an average of 53.91 in 87 matches, scoring 22 [[century (cricket)|centuries]] including 5 double centuries and his career highest of 312 versus Himachal Pradesh at Delhi in 1994–95, which is not only his personal highest score but also among the highest individual scores for Delhi. In 1994-95 he aggregated 1,034 runs in 10 matches at an average of 73.86 with 3 centuries and 4 half-centuries, which was a record number of runs in a Ranji Trophy season. He led Delhi in 8 matches in the season 1994–95, winning 3 and drawing 5. His 320 in the Duleep Trophy for North Zone against West Zone in the final at Bhilai in 1986-87 still remains among the highest individual scores. In first-class cricket, he scored a total of 8,776 runs at 53.84 and his 175 innings including 31 centuries and 27 fifties.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Raman Lamba profile and biography, stats, records, averages, photos and videos |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/raman-lamba-30745 |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

Lamba's highest score 320* came in the [[Duleep Trophy]] Final in 1987-88 for North Zone v West Zone. The West might have felt very satisfied with their first innings score of 444, with their captain and Test opener [[Anshuman Gaekwad]] making 216. Their opponents, however, had other ideas and replied with 868 all out. Lamba left Gaekwad in the shade with 320 in 720 minutes which was scored off 471 balls including six 6s and thirty 4s. That season he totalled 1097 runs at 84.38. Seven years later he crossed the triple hundred mark again with 312 for Delhi in a Ranji Trophy match versus Himachal Pradesh at Delhi. The hosts ran up 637-3 [[declare (cricket)|declared]] owing much to a first wicket Indian record stand of 464 between Lamba and [[Ravi Sehgal]], who made 216. Lamba's 312 came off 392 balls with two 6s and twenty five 4s and took 567 minutes. These innings and similar knocks, such as his 617-ball 250 for Delhi v Punjab in 1996/97 gained him a somewhat mixed reputation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Famous Irish cricketers: Raman Lamba |url=http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES4/articles/000026/002607-p.shtml |publisher=cricketeurope4.net |accessdate=20 September 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031142717/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES4/articles/000026/002607-p.shtml |archivedate=31 October 2011 }}</ref><ref name=RLamba>{{cite journal |title=Special Profile on Raman Lamba: Shocking end of a brave cricketer |journal=[[Indian Cricket (annual)|Indian Cricket]] |date=December 1998 }}</ref>

===One-day cricket===
Lamba appeared for India as a one-day player in the [[Australasia Cup#First edition 1986|1986 Australasia Cup]] final, when he also took a good catch under pressure to dismiss [[Abdul Qadir (cricketer)|Abdul Qadir]] off [[Kapil Dev]], where he played as substitute fielder.<ref>{{cite web |title=Raman Lamba Takes a Good Catch vs Pak at Sharjah in Australasia Cup 1986 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o-hUnw0d8M |publisher=[[YouTube]] |accessdate=25 February 2019}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead Youtube links|date=February 2022}}</ref> He had a great opening in One day cricket as he scored 64 in his first match and 102 in his sixth match as he won the man of the series against Australia for scoring 278 runs at an average of 55.60 per innings with a century and 2 fifties.

==Personal life==
In 1987 Raman Lamba met his future wife, Irishwoman Kim Michelle Crothers and they were engaged for 3 years before getting married on 7, September 1990. Lamba started playing as an overseas professional cricketer in Ireland with [[Ulster]] from 1990. Raman and Kim have two children Jasmyn and Kamran.

It is said that Lamba was asked to wear a helmet, but he thought it was unnecessary because only three balls of the over were remaining when he was asked to move to that position. He was known by his teammates not to use a helmet while fielding close in. Lamba was playing for Dhaka's leading club, [[Abahani Limited cricket team|Abahani Krira Chakra]], in the final of the Premier Division cricket match versus [[Mohammedan Sporting Club cricket team|Mohammedan Sporting Club]] at the Dhaka [[Bangabandhu Stadium]] on 20 February 1998. The shot was so ferocious that the ball deflected from his head and flew into wicketkeeper [[Khaled Mashud]]'s gloves. [[Aminul Islam (cricketer, born 1968)|Mohammad Aminul Islam]], the former Bangladesh captain, recalled "I was the new man in and asked Raman if he was okay.

Although a [[Neurosurgery|neurosurgeon]] was flown in from Delhi, all efforts were in vain. After three days, his ventilator was removed and Lamba was declared dead.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-02-22 |title=Raman Lamba's death: A tale of determination and brilliance ending in tragedy |url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/raman-lamba-a-tale-of-determination-brilliance-and-tragedy-101379 |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=Latest Sports Updates, Cricket News, Cricket World Cup, Football, Hockey & IPL |language=en-US}}</ref>

There were tributes from all over the world when Lamba died. His wife, Kim, paid him a moving tribute when she put the cap of his local team, Sonnet Club, on Lamba.<ref name=RLamba/>

==Trivia==
* On his first tour abroad to England in 1986, he was involved in a rare incident when 12 fielders were on the field for one full over from [[Ravi Shastri]] in the second Test against England at Leeds, when as a substitute for [[Krishnamachari Srikkanth|K. Srikkanth]], he remained on the field even though Srikkanth had already arrived on the field quietly, without requesting Raman Lamba to go back to the pavilion. The umpires were also unaware of Srikkanth's return to the field throughout the 6-ball over in which nothing untoward took place on the field.<ref name=RLamba/><ref name="Kim Lamba"/>
* Just as Lamba could not play a Test on the tour of England in 1986, he missed a test on his next tour of Pakistan in 1989–90 due to a finger injury in the morning of the first test day.<ref name=RLamba/>
* Lamba was involved in one more controversial incident. He had a wordy clash with West Zone cricketer [[Rashid Patel]] on the field of play during a [[Duleep Trophy]] match at Jamshedpur in 1990–91. The [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) on 25 February 1991 banned Lamba till 31 December 1991 and Patel till 31 March 1992 from playing in any first-class cricket match as a punishment.<ref>{{Citation|author-link=Express News Service|title=Ban on Lamba, Patel|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|date=1991-02-25|accessdate=2016-10-03|page=16|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19910222&printsec=frontpage}}</ref><ref name=RLamba/><ref name="Kim Lamba"/><ref>{{cite web|last1=Roy|first1=Ayan|title=Cricket's fight club: Five infamous on-field spats|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/crickets-fight-club-five-infamous-on-field-spats/16553198|publisher=Mid Day|accessdate=5 November 2016|date=23 September 2015}}</ref>

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2023}}
{{Use Indian English|date=April 2023}}'''Morobhatt Dandekar'''{{efn|[[IAST]]: Mora-bhaṭṭa Dāndekara;{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=26}} Alternative transliterations of the name include Morabhat Dandekar,{{sfn|Hulas Singh|2015|p=185}} Morobhat Dandekar,{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=12}} and Moro-bhatt Dandekar{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=25}} }} was a Hindu [[pandit]] and apologist from [[Bombay]], [[British India]]. In response to Christian missionary activities, he wrote the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] language [[Hindu apologetics|Hindu apologetic]] work ''Shri Hindu Dharma Sthapana'' (1831) and published the monthly magazine ''Upadesha Chandrika'' (1844).

== ''Shri Hindu Dharma Sthapana'' ==
{{Infobox book

In February 1831, Dandekar debated with Christian missionary [[John Wilson (Scottish missionary)|John Wilson]] for six successive evenings, each man aiming to defend his religion. Dandekar's 1831 Marathi language text ''Shri Hindu Dharma Sthapana''{{efn|[[IAST]]: ''Śrī-hindu-dharma-sthāpana''. English translations of the title include "Establishment of the Venerable Hindu Religion",{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=26}} "Foundations of Hindu Religion",{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=25}} "The Verification of the Hindoo Religion"{{sfn|Rosalind O'Hanlon|2002|p=65}} and "Vindication of Hindu Religion"{{sfn|Robert A. Yelle|2013|p=118}} }} summarizes his objections to Christianity.{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=26}}

In the book, Dandekar responds to several Christian criticisms of Hinduism. For example, he argues:
* The virtuous actions of the Hindu gods far outnumber those of [[Jesus]].{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=26}}
* [[Krishna]]'s acts of stealing butter are justified because he is the lord of the Universe, and everything belongs to him. Moreover, the residents of [[Gokul]]a wanted him to come to their homes, and he gratified them by visiting their homes to steal.{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=27}}
* The legends of [[Rama]] and Krishna should not perplex to those who believe in the Christian [[trinity]]. For example, the descriptions of power of the god are inconsistent with the description of Jesus' sufferings and miserable death: if Christians don't find this bewildering, why should Hindus find the stories of Rama and Krishna bewildering?{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=27}}
* Christians say that ignorance arises from Hindu rituals such as bathing in the [[Ganges]] water or worshipping of an idol of Krishna. Then, how do they justify Christian rituals such as [[immersion baptism|baptism by water]], [[sacramental bread|eating bread]] while muttering words, or [[sacramental wine|drinking spirits]]?{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=28}}

{{quotebox|If you ask why Rama, Krishna, and other incarnations, accomplished the salvation of men in this or that particular manner, we ask you in return why God sent his Son into the world, and why, for the salvation of men, he brought him into a state so reproachful and so appalling. What! Had he no other way of saving the world?
| source = English translation of ''Shri Hindu Dharma Sthapana'' in Wilson's ''An Exposure of the Hindu Religion''{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|pp=27-28}}
}}

According to Dandekar, the people who see something objectionable in Hinduism must have committed sins in their former births, which explains their "unhappy circumstance".{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=28}}

[[Balshastri Jambhekar]], in the 13 April 1832 issue of ''[[The Bombay Durpun]]'', described the work as "the first instance of a Brahmin coming forward publicly to vindicate the Hindu Religion, and entering the field of public discussion by publishing a work in defence of it."{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=25}}

An English translation of the text appears in Wilson's ''An Exposure of the Hindu Religion'', along with Wilson's response to these objections.{{sfn|Richard F. Young|1981|p=26}} [[Svadesha-dharmabhimani|Narayan Rao]] of Satara responded to Wilson's text in a pamphlet edited by Dandekar, and Wilson repsonded to it with ''A Second Exposure of the Hindu Religion'' (1834).{{sfn|Rosalind O'Hanlon|2002|p=65}}

== ''Upadesha Chandrika'' ==

In 1843, Narayan Sheshadri, a [[Deshastha Brahmin]] educated in a mission school, adopted Christianity, leading to a controversy in Bombay.{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=12}} In response, Morobhat Dandekar published the Marathi monthly magazine ''Upadesha Chandrika''{{efn|[[IAST]]: Upadeśa-candrikā; also transliterated ''Updesh Chandrika'',{{sfn|Hulas Singh|2015|p=185}} Marathi for "Moonlight of Admonition"{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1995|pp=166}}}}, which featured anti-Christianity religious polemic.{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|pp=12-13}}{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1995|pp=155-156}} The publication ran for one year, during 1844; the 12th issue – dated December 1844 – was published in January 1845.{{sfn|Frank F. Conlon|1992|p=25}}

==History==
In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the Kadugundanahalli metro station along the 4.59 km Shadi Mahal Ramp - North Ramp stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, ITD Cementation India emerged as the lowest bidder for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-02 |title=ITD Cem Begins Work on Bangalore Metro's Underground Stations |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2020/09/02/itd-cem-begins-work-on-bangalore-metros-underground-stations/ |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref>
