'''Natarajan''' "'''Natty'''" '''Subramaniam''' ({{IPAc-en|n|ə|t|t|i}} born 23 June 1971) is an Indian cinematographer and actor who works in Hindi and Tamil films. As an actor, he achieved recognition through his performance as a con artist in ''[[Sathuranga Vettai]]'' (2014).

==Early life==
Born into a Tamil-speaking family, Natarajan "Natty" pursued an interest in photography and quit school at 18, choosing to take up a series of odd jobs to fund his interest rather than going through college. He worked as a still photographer at weddings, and then performed as a videographer at ceremonies. He briefly assisted cinematographer [[B. R. Vijayalakshmi]] but was unable to get a break in the film industry, so he chose to work on documentaries instead, before venturing into work on commercials and music videos. He shot videos of the music band [[Euphoria (Indian band)|Euphoria]]'s first album, and his work was well received.<ref name="ss">{{cite web|url=http://silverscreen.in/features/interviews/shrewd-business-the-natarajan-subramaniam-interview/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526171652/http://silverscreen.in/features/interviews/shrewd-business-the-natarajan-subramaniam-interview/|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 May 2015|title=Shrewd Business: The Natarajan Subramaniam Interview - Silverscreen.in|date=26 May 2015|website=silverscreen.in|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref>

==Career==

Natty became acquainted with director [[Ram Gopal Varma]] and the pair discussed a film project which did not materialise, before he was recommended by Varma to [[Anurag Kashyap]], whom he worked with for three Hindi projects - ''[[Last Train to Mahakali]]'' (1999), ''[[Paanch]]'' (2003), and ''[[Black Friday (2004 film)|Black Friday]]'' (2004). In between he had also worked for Tamil romantic-comedy ''[[Youth (2002 film)|Youth]]'' (2002) starring [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]], and had briefly agreed to be a part of [[AR Murugadoss]]'s ''[[Ramanaa]]'' (2001), which he later opted out from.<ref name="ss"/> Despite being active in Tamil films, he has chosen to prioritise work as a cinematographer in Hindi films, working on successful films including ''[[Jab We Met]]'' (2007), ''[[Golmaal Returns]]'' (2008), ''[[Raanjhanaa]]'' (2013) and ''[[Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty]]'' (2014).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-cinematographer/natarajan-subramaniam/an-exclusive-interview-with-cinematographer-natarajan-subramanian.html|title=An exclusive interview with cinematographer Natarajan Subramanian|website=behindwoods.com|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-date=6 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806220923/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-cinematographer/natarajan-subramaniam/an-exclusive-interview-with-cinematographer-natarajan-subramanian.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Away from cinematography in big-budget Hindi films, Natarajan has embarked on an alternate career as an actor in small-budget Tamil films. He initially appeared in two films by his friend [[Uday Mahesh]], ''[[Naalai]]'' (2006) and ''[[Chakkara Viyugam]]'' (2008), both of which went unnoticed at the box office but he won positive acclaim for his performance in ''Naalai''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/its-buddies-animus-and-action-again-naalai/article3218534.ece|title=It's buddies, animus and action again - Naalai|newspaper=The Hindu|date=23 June 2006|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-date=10 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211210052828/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/its-buddies-animus-and-action-again-naalai/article3218534.ece|url-status=live}}</ref> He starred in two further [[masala (film genre)|action-masala]] films aimed at the village and town audiences, ''[[Milaga]]'' (2010) and ''[[Muthukku Muthaaga]]'' (2011), which received similar lukewarm responses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/I-love-the-action-masala-films-Natrajan/articleshow/4910692.cms|title=I love the action masala films: Natrajan|website=indiatimes.com|access-date=6 August 2017|archive-date=13 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170813211926/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/I-love-the-action-masala-films-Natrajan/articleshow/4910692.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2014, Natarajan featured in the Tamil caper film, ''[[Sathuranga Vettai]]'' directed by newcomer [[H. Vinoth|Vinoth]] and produced by [[Manobala]]. The film opened to positive reviews and became a surprise success at the box office, with a critic noting Natarajan "is brilliant as Gandhi Babu. He does his part with relish using his brains more than brawn with expressive body and eye language".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/sathuranga-vettai-review-tamil-pcmbufhibfhcd.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315001105/http://www.sify.com/movies/sathuranga-vettai-review-tamil-pcmbufhibfhcd.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 March 2015|title=Review |website=www.sify.com|access-date=6 August 2017}}</ref> However, his 2015 action film ''[[Katham Katham]]'' is not very impressive.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Saraswathi|first=S.|title=Review: Katham Katham is a total waste of time|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-katham-katham-is-a-total-waste-of-time/20150313.htm|access-date=2021-11-30|website=Rediff|language=en}}</ref> Once again, Natty plays the good-man-turned-evil-mind, whose biggest weakness is spondulicks.

The original incarnation of the party was founded in 1999 by [[Sharad Pawar]], [[P. A. Sangma]], and [[Tariq Anwar (politician)|Tariq Anwar]] after a split within the [[Indian National Congress]]. After major disagreements between its leaders, the party [[2023 Nationalist Congress Party split|split again in 2023]].

==Party history and performance==

=== First incarnation led by Sharad Pawar ===
==== Split from Congress ====
The NCP was formed on 10 June 1999, by [[Sharad Pawar]], [[P. A. Sangma]], and [[Tariq Anwar (politician)|Tariq Anwar]] after they were expelled from the [[Indian National Congress]] on 20 May 1999, for disputing the right of [[Italians|Italian]]-born [[Sonia Gandhi]] to lead the party.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://m.rediff.com/%0D%0Anews/1999/may/24jhar.htm |title=Senior Congress leaders quit in Jharkhand |access-date=30 June 2019 |archive-date=4 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190304124143/http://m.rediff.com/%0D%0Anews/1999/may/24jhar.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/news/1999/may/20pawar2.htm|title=Rediff On The NeT: CWC expels threesome for six years|website=m.rediff.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Sangma-meets-Sonia-first-time-in-a-decade/articleshow/4609798.cms |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024005950/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-06-02/india/28205192_1_foreign-origin-sangma-janpath-residence |url-status=live |archive-date=24 October 2012 |title=Sangma meets Sonia Gandhi, first time in a decade |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |date=2 June 2009}}</ref> When the NCP formed, the [[Indian Congress (Socialist) – Sarat Chandra Sinha]] party merged into the new party.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99jun11/spotlite.htm | title = Spotlight: Merger with NCP | newspaper = Tribune India | date = 1999-06-11 | access-date = 2009-05-19 | archive-date = 3 March 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160303185936/http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99jun11/spotlite.htm | url-status = live }}</ref>

==== In government ====
Despite the NCP being founded on opposition to the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, the party joined the Congress-led [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA) to form the [[government of Maharashtra]] in October 1999. In 2004, the party joined the UPA to form the national government led by [[Manmohan Singh]]. The NCP's leader, Sharad Pawar served as the [[Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare|Minister of Agriculture]] for both five-year terms of the Singh-led government. The party remained part of the Congress-led [[Maharashtra]] state government until 2014.<ref name="KohliSingh2013">{{cite book|author1=Suhas Palshikar|author2=[[Prerna Singh]]|author3=Atul Kohli|title=Routledge Handbook of Indian Politics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mbLcAwAAQBAJ&pg=PR1|date=4 January 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-12275-1|pages=92, 97}}</ref> On 20 June 2012, P.

==== In opposition ====
In the [[2014 Indian general election|April and May 2014 Lok Sabha elections]], the UPA lost to the rival [[National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA) led by [[Narendra Modi]] and the NCP was out of government for the first time in ten years. The NCP broke its alliance with the Congress Party just before the [[2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election|October 2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections]] to contest them on its own.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://hwnews.in/news/politics/congress-NCP-seat-sharing-Maharashtra/112929|title = Congress-NCP announce seat-sharing for Maharashtra polls|date = 16 September 2019|access-date = 23 December 2021|archive-date = 23 December 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211223122347/https://hwnews.in/news/politics/congress-NCP-seat-sharing-Maharashtra/112929|url-status = live}}</ref> In the assembly election the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) emerged as the largest party and formed a minority government, initially with support from the NCP.

In [[2019 Indian general election in Maharashtra|April 2019, voting]] took place for the 48 [[2019 Indian general election|Lok Sabha]] seats from Maharashtra. The Congress and NCP had a seat-sharing arrangement.<ref>{{cite news |title=Raj Thackeray, Dhananjay Munde in demand to campaign for Cong |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/maharashtra/raj-thackeray-dhananjay-munde-in-demand-to-campaign-for-cong/articleshow/68833350.cms |work=April 11 |agency=PTI |date=2019 |archive-date=27 April 2019 |access-date=26 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190427215740/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/maharashtra/raj-thackeray-dhananjay-munde-in-demand-to-campaign-for-cong/articleshow/68833350.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Similarly, despite their differences, the BJP and [[Shiv Sena (1966–2022)|Shiv Sena]] once again contested the elections together under the NDA banner.<ref>{{cite news |title=Opinion Poll: BJP-Shiv Sena may lose 8 seats in Maharashtra, Congress-NCP to improve figures |url=https://www.newsnation.in/election/lok-sabha-election-2019/opinion-poll-lok-sabha-elections-2019-bjp-shiv-sena-seats-maharashtra-congress-ncp-sharad-pawar-devendra-fadnavis--article-216712.html |issue=March 23 |publisher=New Nation |date=2019 |archive-date=17 April 2019 |access-date=26 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417175255/https://www.newsnation.in/election/lok-sabha-election-2019/opinion-poll-lok-sabha-elections-2019-bjp-shiv-sena-seats-maharashtra-congress-ncp-sharad-pawar-devendra-fadnavis--article-216712.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=NCP will welcome BJP's decision to merge India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, says Maharashtra minister |url=https://scroll.in/latest/979191/NCP-will-welcome-bps-decision-to-merge-India-Pakistan-Bangladesh-says-Maharashtra-minister |website=[[Scroll.in]] |date=23 November 2020 |access-date=23 December 2021 |archive-date=23 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223122344/https://scroll.in/latest/979191/NCP-will-welcome-bps-decision-to-merge-India-Pakistan-Bangladesh-says-Maharashtra-minister |url-status=live }}</ref> The election was another landslide victory for the NDA, with the BJP and Shiv Sena winning 23 and 18 seats, respectively, out of the total of the state's 48 Lok Sabha seats.

==== Formation of Maharashtra Vikash Aghadi and subsequent split ====
During the [[2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election|October 2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections]], the BJP–Shiv-Sena and NCP–Congress alliances remained intact for seat sharing. The BJP and Shiv Sena together gained the majority of seats in the assembly but could not form a government due to disagreements between the two parties. The BJP, with 105 seats, was far short of the 145 seats required to form a majority and declined to form a minority government. As a result, Shiv Sena started talks with the NCP and Congress to form a government. However, in a controversial move, on 23 November 2019, the BJP formed a government with support from the NCP, with [[Ajit Pawar]] as Deputy Chief Minister. This government collapsed three days later with Chief Minister [[Devendra Fadnavis]] and Pawar resigning their respective positions. Finally, the NCP came back into power at the state level as part of the [[Maha Vikas Aghadi]] coalition formed with Shiv Sena and the Congress. On 28 November 2019, the Governor of Maharashtra swore in Shiv Sena chief [[Uddhav Thackeray]] as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Thackeray's cabinet included ministers from the NCP in key portfolios.<ref>{{cite news |title=Political drama has gripped the home state of Bollywood |url=https://www.economist.com/asia/2019/11/29/political-drama-has-gripped-the-home-state-of-bollywood |access-date=30 November 2019 |issue=30 November 2019 |publisher=The Economist |archive-date=30 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191130034233/https://www.economist.com/asia/2019/11/29/political-drama-has-gripped-the-home-state-of-bollywood |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Maharashtra: With 169 votes, Uddhav-led govt sails through Assembly floor test, BJP stages walkout |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/maharashtra-assembly-floor-test-uddhav-thackeray-fadnavis-bjp-shiv-sena-ncp-congressmaharashtra-uddhav-led-mahavikasaghadi-govt-wins-trust-vote-bjp-stages-walkout-6144236/ |access-date=30 November 2019 |work=Indian Express |issue=30 November 2019 |publisher=Indian Express newspapers |archive-date=30 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191130131712/https://indianexpress.com/article/india/maharashtra-assembly-floor-test-uddhav-thackeray-fadnavis-bjp-shiv-sena-ncp-congressmaharashtra-uddhav-led-mahavikasaghadi-govt-wins-trust-vote-bjp-stages-walkout-6144236/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Controversies and criticism==

The Nationalist Congress Party has been extensively criticized for several reasons such as political corruption, insensitive comments, links to the underworld, and moral policing.

NCP leader [[Sharad Pawar]] was accused of having links to the underworld. This was revealed by former Supreme Court lawyer [[Ram Jethmalani]], who had confirmed that after the [[1993 Bombay bombings|March 1993 bombings in Bombay]], [[Dawood Ibrahim]] had called him from [[London]], saying that he was prepared to come to India and stand trial, on the condition that he should not be subjected to any [[Third-degree methods|third degree]] treatment from the police.<ref name="algebra">{{cite web |title=The legend of Ram – a conversation with Ram Jethmalani |url=http://www.algebratheclub.com/event/the-legend-of-ram/ |website=Algebra talks |publisher=Algebra |access-date=13 June 2018 |archive-date=13 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613111832/http://www.algebratheclub.com/event/the-legend-of-ram/ |url-status=live }}</ref> When Jethmalani had conveyed this to [[Sharad Pawar]], the political leaders in power did not agree to this proposal.

In May 2005, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) workers stormed a pub in [[Pune]], [[Maharashtra]], broke window panes, damaged furniture, and thrashed visitors. The move came days after [[Pune Police]] had forced five pubs to shut before the closing time of 12:30 am.<ref name=PuneNightLife>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/70139/ |title=Moral police hit Pune nightlife |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=11 May 2011 |access-date=8 December 2014}}</ref>

On 29 November 2008, in the aftermath of the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|terrorist attack in Mumbai]], NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister [[R.R. Patil]] was forced to resign after making insensitive comments after the attack. He was quoted as saying, "They (the terrorists) came to kill 5,000 people but we ensured minimal damage".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.merinews.com/article/minister-paid-dearly-for-the-small-incident-remark/151221.shtml|author=Damini Berry|title=Minister paid dearly for the 'small incident' remark|website=Merinews|date=2 December 2008|access-date=18 July 2018|archive-date=21 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821191755/http://www.merinews.com/article/minister-paid-dearly-for-the-small-incident-remark/151221.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> When asked at a press conference whether the terror strike was an intelligence failure Patil said, "It is not like that.

On 7 April 2013, NCP leader [[Ajit Pawar]]'s statement at a speech in [[Indapur]] sparked controversy due to its alleged callousness. In response to a 55-day fast by activists protesting the Maharashtra governments inability to provide water during a drought, he asked whether he should "urinate into [the dam]" to make up for the lack of water in it. After a public outcry against his statement, he publicly apologized, saying that the comment was the "biggest mistake of [his] life".<ref>{{cite news |date=8 April 2013 |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-08/india/38372423_1_ajit-pawar-crass-humour-deputy-cm |title=Ajit Pawar apologizes again, says 'this is biggest mistake of my life' |access-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601065447/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-08/india/38372423_1_ajit-pawar-crass-humour-deputy-cm |archive-date=1 June 2013 |url-status=dead |work=[[The Times of India]] |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

'''Ganti Vijaya Kumari''' is an Indian politician from the state of Andhra Pradesh.

== Population makeup ==
Traditionally Muslims of Kerala are [[Sunni Islam|Sunnis]], predominantly [[Shafi'i school|Shafi'is]] where around two-thirds of the Muslim population is [[Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar|AP]] and [[E. K. Aboobacker Musliyar|EK]] Sunnis, respective Samasthas of which emerged in 1989 due to disagreement in Samastha. The reformist Mujahids, belonging to the [[Salafi movement]], make up around 10 percent of the total Muslim population of Kerala. Though there is presence of groups like [[Tablighi Jamaat|Tabligi Jamaat]] and [[Jamaat-e-Islami Hind|Jamaate Islami]], by far the biggest groupings are Sunnis and Mujahids.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":3" />

Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama (AP faction), [[Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama (EK Sunnis)|Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama]] (EK faction), [[Dakshina Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama|Dakshina Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama]] and Kerala Samsthana Jem-iyyathul Ulama are different factions of Sunnis in [[Kerala]], while Dakshina Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama is the dominant group in the southern part of the state.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-07-04 |title=By revisiting unity talks, Sunni groups look to bury differences |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2023/Jul/04/by-revisiting-unity-talks-sunni-groups-look-to-bury-differences-2591117.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240707121834/https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2023/Jul/04/by-revisiting-unity-talks-sunni-groups-look-to-bury-differences-2591117.html |archive-date=2024-07-07 |access-date=2024-07-07 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

== Ideological difference ==
Samastha began in 1926 to counter [[Vakkom Moulavi]]'s Kerala Muslim Aikya Sangam<ref name=":132" />—the precursor of [[Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen|KNM]] and the wider Mujahid movement. Only traditionalist Sunnis are called Sunnis in Kerala in contrast to the reformist ones. The four different factions of [[Sunni Islam|Sunnis]] in [[Kerala]] have "almost the same ideology and beliefs". Haris Madani, a young scholar belonging to AP Sunnis, in 2022, said the difference between AP and EK Sunnis is purely organisational whereas [[Hussain Madavoor|Husain Madavoor]], a Mujahid leader, considers ''[[fiqh]]'' to be irrelevant.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":8" />
== Samastha in AP Sunnis' words ==
=== Change of name ===
[[Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar|Kanthapuram]], a leader of AP Sunnis says Sunnis formed an organisation to counter the religious [[Bid'ah|reformists]] with the name Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama. But the reformist people had registered the same name. So Sunnis had to add the term "Samastha" to the name of the organisation at the conference held at Kozhikode Town Hall on 26 June 1926.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |last=Musliyar |first=Kanthapuram A.

=== Flag ===
According to AP Sunnis, Samastha for the first time adopted the Samastha's flag on 29 December 1963, at a meeting of Samastha held at the Thalankara Malik Dinar Valiya Jumuath Mosque in Kasaragod.

== History ==
In March 2017, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for building the Hulimavu metro station on the 7.5 km Kalena Agrahara - South Ramp section of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. This section comprises 5 stations, excluding Jayadeva Hospital, which was part of a joint venture between HCC - URC Constructions. Initially, Simplex Infrastructures won the tender in September 2017 but due to slow progress, their contract was terminated.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-02-04 |title=Bangalore Metro Terminates Simplex Infra's Pink Line Contract |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2021/02/04/bangalore-metro-terminates-simplex-infras-pink-line-contract/ |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref> In July 2021, GR Infraprojects became the lowest bidder and was awarded the Rs 364.87 Crore contract for this section. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreement.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-07-16 |title=GR Infra Wins Bangalore Metro Pink Line's Pending Work |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2021/07/16/gr-infra-wins-bangalore-metro-pink-lines-pending-work/ |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref>

'''Nisha Sharma Pokharel''' (born 2 September 1971) is a [[Nepal]]ese actor. In 2023 she was chosen as the first woman Chancellor of the Nepal Academy of Music and Drama.

==Life==
Sharma was born in 1971 in [[Kathmandu]].{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} She met [[Sunil Pokharel]] and Badri Adhikari while she was still at school. They had cast her sister as the lead in their production and they wanted a girl to play her sister. She was cast despite her sister's worries that the job would distract her from her studies.<ref name=topjob/>

She has had a career of more than thirty years in Nepali theatre and she has appeared in about fifty different productions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nisha Sharma {{!}} Theatricalia |url=https://theatricalia.com/person/2hz4/nisha-sharma |access-date=5 April 2024 |website=theatricalia.com}}</ref>

The translated play, ''Putaliko Ghar'', had been adapted by [[Sunil Pokharel]] from Henry Ibsen's original. The play was seen by Nepali nationals or those with a Nepali heritage. The important theme of the play is that Nora finally gives up on her husband in order that she can have her own life.<ref name=play>{{Cite web |date=14 March 2010 |title=Nora walks out |url=https://wagle.com.np/2010/03/14/nora-walks-out/ |access-date=5 April 2024 |website=Dinesh Wagle on Nepali Society |language=en}}</ref>

Halal certification in India

2026-03-10T17:57:58Z

KathleenQdc: Starting basic pg v1

{{Short description|Islamic product certification in India}}

{{Islam}}
In India, [[Halal|halal certification]] indicates that a food product complies with [[Islamic dietary laws]]. It is neither mandatory nor regulated by a unified national framework.

Halal certification was first introduced in India in 1974, initially restricted to meat products. By 1993, its scope had expanded to encompass a wider range of goods, as businesses began to recognise the market potential among Muslim consumers. Prominent Indian corporations, including [[Reliance Industries]], the [[Tata Group]], and [[Adani Group]], have since obtained halal certification for various products.

== Certification bodies ==
In India, halal certification is primarily managed by [[Non-governmental organization|non-governmental organisations]] (NGOs), rather than by governmental authorities. Notable certifying bodies such as [[Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind]] issue halal certificates and typically charge businesses for both the initial certification and periodic renewals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jamiathalaltrust.org/fee-structure.php|title=Jamiat Ulama E Hind : Fee structure|website=www.jamiathalaltrust.org}}</ref> However, certain manufacturers and vendors label their products as halal in an effort to appeal to Muslim consumers, despite not obtaining certification from recognised authorities.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 January 2025 |title=Does UP Govt's move against Halal certification jeopardize India's stake in the booming $5.96 trillion Halal Food market? |url=https://indiatomorrow.net/2025/01/27/does-up-govts-move-against-halal-certification-jeopardize-indias-stake-in-the-booming-5-96-trillion-halal-food-market/ |website=India Tomorrow}}</ref>

== Economic impact ==
In India, halal certification serves as an assurance that a food product has been prepared in accordance with Islamic dietary laws. However, the country neither mandates such certification nor maintains a unified regulatory framework governing its implementation.<ref name=":0" />

Halal certification in India was formally introduced in 1974, initially limited to the regulation and certification of meat products in accordance with Islamic dietary laws. The certification was expanded to other products in 1993. It gradually gained recognition within the Indian commercial landscape, particularly in response to the growing demand among the country's substantial Muslim population.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Chadha |first=Saroj |date=7 April 2022 |title=Halal certification – to be or not to be? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/blunt-frank/halal-certification-to-be-or-not-to-be/ |website=[[Times of India]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=18 November 2023 |title=What are halal-certified products?

A multi-billion dollar market, many corporations and conglomerates in India, such as Reliance Industries, Tata Group, Adani Group, have obtained halal certifications.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shireen |first=Rabia |date=2 April 2022 |title=Not just Himalayas, Adani Wilmar, Reliance, Tata, Parle, Patanjali, and others are also halal certified |url=https://thehindustangazette.com/latest-news/not-just-himalayas-adani-wilmar-reliance-tata-parle-patanjali-and-others-are-also-halal-certified-9156 |website=The Hindustan Gazette}}</ref><ref name=":1" /> Furthermore, in 2022, India's halal meat exports were valued at over [[United States dollar|$]]4.4 billion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 December 2024 |title=India Exports US $4.4 Billion Worth of Halal Meat as Demand Soars in Global Markets |url=https://kashmirlife.net/india-exports-us-4-4-billion-worth-of-halal-meat-as-demand-soars-in-global-markets-376466/ |website=[[Kashmir Life]]}}</ref>

== Reception and government actions ==
The expansion of halal certification beyond meat products has sparked debates on both economic and ethical grounds. The certification has regularly been opposed by [[Hindutva]] political organisations and leaders. Critics, particularly from political parties such as the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP), have called for a ban on halal products across India, citing concerns over the certification's impact on non-Muslim consumers and its potential misuse for commercial or political purposes.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Raj |first=Sagay |date=23 November 2023 |title=After UP, Karnataka BJP leaders urge for nationwide ban on Halal certification |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/karnataka-bjp-leaders-call-for-nationwide-ban-on-halal-certification-in-letter-to-piyush-goyal-2466451-2023-11-23 |website=[[India Today]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Pandey |first=Manisha |date=21 December 2023 |title='Halal-certified food should be banned in Maharashtra too': BJP leader |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/halal-certified-food-should-be-banned-maharashtra-bjp-leader-nitesh-rane-2478721-2023-12-21 |website=[[India Today]]}}</ref>

On December 28, 2020, a [[Hindu nationalism|hindu nationalist]] organisation named [[Hindu Aikya Vedi]] issued a notice to a bakery, asking it to not advertise or stock halal food brands. The Mody bakery removed the tag after receiving the notice.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jacob |first=Jeemon |date=24 November 2021 |title=Why Kerala is witnessing a Halal war |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/why-kerala-is-witnessing-a-halal-war-1880378-2021-11-24 |website=[[India Today]]}}</ref>

On November 17, 2023, a case was registered in [[Lucknow]] against some entities for allegedly exploiting religious sentiments to boost sales by providing halal certificates to customers of a specific religion.<ref name=":0" /> Entities mentioned in the case included Halal India, Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind Halal Trust, Halal Council of India, and Jamiat Ulema Maharashtra. The Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration has since launched a crackdown on halal-certified products across all 75 districts of the state.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Anand |first=Akriti |date=19 November 2023 |title=UP bans halal-certified products: What are they and what's the controversy? |url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/what-are-halal-certified-products-and-whats-the-controversy-around-it-11700327934965.html |website=[[Mint (newspaper)|Mint]]}}</ref>

==Plot==
The rhythm of life, even for a master drummer, is at the same moment disrupted and harmonized by the love, passion, jealousy, hate and spite of those around. Unequaled in the art of playing the [[Chenda]], Unni, and Nalini, peerless in [[Mohiniyattam]], are drawn to each other by an affection that transcends the devotion to their arts and the love for each other. The pulse of their passion cannot hold up against the tumults of Unni's life. A brother and a father figure, whose love sours to jealousy and hate, a wife who despises his drumming and a mother from whom the truth about his birth is not forthcoming all hasten the tempo of a mental imbalance rooted in Unni's childhood to an inevitable dark end.

The name of the film is based on [[Chikku Bukku Rayile|the song of the same name]] from ''[[Gentleman (1993 film)|Gentleman]]'' (1993).

==Plot==

The film is narrated in a [[Nonlinear narrative|nonlinear]] manner.

In the present, Arjun is a London-based [[disc jockey|DJ]], leads a happy life. Also, there is Anu, who is pursuing her [[Master of Business Administration|MBA]] in a London university. One day, Arjun is forced to come to his native village in Karaikudi to ensure that his ancestral property is not sold in an auction. Also, Anu too is forced to come to Karaikudi to meet her father, who is injured in an accident. The two strangers meet in a train. There begins their journey towards their respective destinations. Meanwhile, a diary of Arjun's father pops out from his bag. He browses through it to understand his father's love life.

In flashback, the movie goes back to 1985. It is revealed that Sekhar returns to his village after getting selected as a police officer. Sekhar falls in love with Meenal, but when their romance is revealed, Sekhar's family resists the relationship due to class differences. A dejected Sekhar leaves to begin training as a police officer. There, he becomes acquainted with Ammaiyappan, a young colleague. He learns that Ammaiyappan is in love with his uncle's daughter. A sequence of events reveals that both men love the same girl, Meenal, who in turn loves only Sekhar. After learning that Sekhar and Meenal are already in love with each other, a heartbroken Ammaiyappan attempts suicide. Feeling guilty for hiding about his love from his friend Ammaiyappan, Sekhar breaks up with Meenal and leaves his village forever leaving Meenal heartbroken.

Returning to the film's contemporary setting, we find that Arjun and Anu, after crossing several hurdles in their journey, reach their respective houses. They then realize that they have fallen for each other. Meanwhile, the film employs a [[Deus Ex Machina|Deus ex machina]] in the form of Anu's father Ammaiyappan to ensure that all story arcs are resolved. When Anu's father Ammaiyappan realizes that Anu is in love with Sekhar's son Arjun, he tells Anu that Arjun's father Sekhar was his old friend who had sacrificed his own life and happiness for Ammaiyappan's well-being, adding greatness to their friendship. Regretting his past mistake, Ammaiyappan immediately approves of their relationship and advises Anu to go after Arjun. On learning about Arjun's love for her, a happy Anu rushes to the airport with Ammaiyappan, succeeds in stopping Arjun and happily unites with him. It is implied that Anu and Arjun are then to stay happily together.

They associated their interest with director Manikandan, who had worked in completing ''Dhaam Dhoom'' after the original director [[Jeeva (director)|Jeeva]] had suffered a heart attack and died during the shooting in 2007.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jeeva's 'Dhaam Dhoom' ready for release|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/17/stories/2008041759280200.htm|access-date=6 July 2007|location=Chennai, India|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080421024807/http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/17/stories/2008041759280200.htm|archive-date=21 April 2008|date=2008-04-17|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Manikandan along with Aneez Jeeva, the late director's wife, completed the film under the production of Metro Films.<ref>{{cite web| title=P C Sreeram takes over Dhaam Dhoom| work=Behindwoods.com| url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/july-07-01/06-07-07-pc-sreeram.html| access-date=6 July 2007| archive-date=8 July 2007| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070708183212/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/july-07-01/06-07-07-pc-sreeram.html| url-status=live}}</ref> ''Chikku Bukku'' was announced to the general public on 10 February 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiareel.com/Tamil/news.asp?ID=4477 |title=Arya to romance Genelia |date=11 February 2009 |access-date=19 February 2009 |work=Indiareel.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226194017/http://www.indiareel.com/Tamil/news.asp?ID=4477 |archive-date=26 February 2009 }}</ref>

With the initial announcement, the cast was revealed. Arya, who had enjoyed critical and commercial success with his role of an [[aghori]] in ''[[Naan Kadavul]]'', was signed up for his second successive love story after completing his shoot for ''[[Sarvam]]''.

The '''Marwari''', also known as the '''Malani'''<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1988876,prtpage-1.cms|title=Marwari horses find new home in India|journal=The Times of India|access-date=19 May 2009|date=14 September 2006|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506083755/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1988876,prtpage-1.cms|archive-date=6 May 2010|df=dmy-all}}</ref> is a rare [[horse breed|breed of horse]] from the [[Marwar]] region of [[Rajasthan]], in [[Northwest India|north-west India]]. It is closely related to the [[Kathiawari (horse)|Kathiawari]] breed of the [[Kathiawar]] peninsula of [[Gujarat]],{{r|gupta}} with which it shares the distinctive inward-curving ears. Marwari horses are found in all [[equine coat color|equine colours]], including [[piebald]] and [[skewbald]]. It is a hardy [[riding horse]] and may exhibit a natural [[ambling gait]].

The [[Rathores]], traditional rulers of the [[Marwar]] region of western India, were the first to breed the Marwari. Beginning in the 12th century, they espoused strict breeding that promoted purity and hardiness. Used throughout history as a cavalry horse by the people of the Marwar region, the Marwari was noted for its loyalty and bravery in battle. The breed deteriorated in the 1930s, when poor management practices resulted in a reduction of the breeding stock, but today has regained some of its popularity. The Marwari is used for light [[draft horse|draught]] and agricultural work, as well as [[equestrianism|riding]] and [[Pack horse|packing]]. In 1995, a [[Breed registry|breed society]] was formed for the Marwari horse in India. The exportation of Marwari horses was banned for decades, but between 2000 and 2006, a small number of exports were allowed. Since 2008, visas allowing temporary travel of Marwari horses outside India have been available in small numbers. Though they are rare they are becoming more popular outside of India due to their unique looks.

== Characteristics ==

The height at the [[withers]] of the Marwari averages {{cvt|150|cm|hand|lk=out}} for males, and {{cvt|140|cm|hand}} for mares.{{r|dad}} The coat may be of any colour, and is most often [[bay (horse)|dark]] or light bay, at times with the metallic sheen often seen in the [[Akhal-Teke]]; it may also be [[gray (horse)|grey]] or [[chestnut (coat)|chestnut]], or occasionally [[palomino]], [[piebald]], or [[skewbald]].{{r|elise|page=328}}<ref name=Bongianni>{{cite book |editor= Bongianni, Maurizio |title= Simon & Schuster's Guide to Horses and Ponies |publisher= Simon & Schuster, Inc |location= New York |year= 1988 |isbn= 0-671-66068-3 |page= Entry 122 |url= https://archive.org/details/lish00maur |url-access= registration }}</ref> [[White (horse)|White horses]] cannot be registered.{{r|ihsi2}} Grey horses are considered auspicious and tend to be the most valuable, with piebald and skewbald horses the second-most favoured. [[Black (horse)|Black]] horses are considered unlucky, as the colour is a symbol of death and darkness. Horses with a [[blaze (horse marking)|blaze]] and four white socks are considered lucky.<ref name=Storey/>

The neck is arched and carried high, running into pronounced [[withers]], with a deep chest and muscular, broad, and angular shoulders. Marwaris generally have a long back and sloping [[Rump (animal)|croup]]. The legs tend to be slender and the hooves small but well-formed. Members of the breed are hardy and [[easy keeper]]s, but they can also be of tenacious and unpredictable temperaments. They are quite similar to the [[Kathiawari horse]], another breed from India,<ref name=Bongianni/> having much of the same history and physical features. The main difference between the Marwari and the Kathiawari is their original geographic origin – Marwaris are mainly from the [[Marwar]] region while Kathiawaris are from the [[Kathiawar]] peninsula. Kathiawaris have inward-slanting ears, a short back, and a straight, slender neck and are more similar to Arabians, but they are pure in breed. Kathiawaris are slightly smaller than Marwaris in general.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horseindian.com/indianhorse.htm|title=About Indian Horses|publisher=Indigenous Horse Society of India|access-date=16 January 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161230034333/http://www.horseindian.com/indianhorse.htm|archive-date=30 December 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The Marwari horse often exhibits a natural [[ambling]] gait, close to a [[Horse gait#Pace|pace]], called the ''revaal'',<ref name=Edwards>{{cite book |author= Edwards, Elwyn Hartley |title= The Encyclopedia of the Horse |publisher= Dorling Kindersley |edition=1st American|location=New York |year=1994|isbn=1-56458-614-6|pages=162–163}}</ref> ''aphcal'',<ref name=Storey/> or ''rehwal''. [[Hair whorl (horse)|Hair whorls]] and their placement are important to breeders of Marwaris. Horses with long whorls down the neck are called ''devman'' and considered lucky, while horses with whorls below their eyes are called ''anusudhal'' and are unpopular with buyers.<ref name=Hendricks>{{cite book|pages=280–281|title=International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds|author=Hendricks, Bonnie|publisher=University of Oklahoma Press|isbn=978-0-8061-3884-8|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CdJg3qXssWYC&pg=PA279|year=2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418005850/https://books.google.com/books?id=CdJg3qXssWYC&pg=PA279|archive-date=18 April 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Whorls on the [[fetlock]]s are thought to bring victory.<ref name=Storey/> The horses are expected to have correct proportions, based on the width of a finger, said to be the equal of five grains of [[barley]]. For example, the length of the face should be between 28 and 40 fingers, and the length from the [[Poll (livestock)|poll]] to the [[Rump (animal)|dock]] should be four times the length of the face.<ref name=Edwards/>

== Breed history ==

[[File:Brooklyn Museum - Equestrian Portrait of Maharaja Sujan Singh of Bikaner - Kasam Son of Muhammad.jpg|thumb|upright|A mid-1700s portrait of [[Rathore dynasty|Maharaja Sujan Singh of Bikaner]] shown on a horse with Marwari curved ears]]
The origins of the Marwari are obscure.{{r|elise|page=328}} It is thought to descend from the warhorses of the [[Rajput]] warriors of the Marwar and [[Mewar]] regions of [[Rajasthan]],{{r|agr|page=54}} with subsequent influence of horses of [[Turkoman (horse)|Turkoman]] type brought to the area by [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] invaders in the sixteenth century.{{r|cabi|page=485|edwards|page2=162|edwards2|page3=116}} Unlike the Kathiawari, the Marwari shows little Arab influence.{{r|cabi|page=485}} In the late sixteenth century [[Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak]], in his ''[[Ain-i-Akbari]]'', says that the finest horses in India were those of [[Kutch district|Kutch]], and recounts a myth that an Arab ship carrying seven fine Arab horses was shipwrecked on the shore of that district;{{r|fazl|p=133}}<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9aJyjYuTruAC&q=Marwari+horse+arabian+wrecked+ship&pg=PA559|title=The Hindus: An Alternative History|pages=558–559|author=Doniger, Wendy|publisher=Penguin Group|year=2009|isbn=978-1-59420-205-6}}</ref> Kutch is in modern [[Gujarat]], while Marwar is in Rajasthan. Abu'l-Fazl also makes clear that the Emperor [[Akbar]] had about twelve thousand horses in his court stables, and that there were constant arrivals of new horses from all parts of the Islamic world.{{r|fazl|p=132}} There is also the possibility of some [[Mongolian horse|Mongolian]] influence from the north.<ref>{{cite book |author= Edwards, Elwyn Hartley |title= The Encyclopedia of the Horse |publisher= Dorling Kindersley |edition=1st American|location=New York |year=1994|isbn=1-56458-614-6|page=196}}</ref> The breed probably originated in northwest India on the Afghanistan border, as well as in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, and takes its name from the Marwar region (also called the Jodhpur region) of India.<ref name=Edwards/>

The [[Rathores]], rulers of Marwar and successful [[Rajput]] cavalry, were the traditional breeders of the Marwari. The Rathores were forced from their [[Kannauj|Kingdom of Kanauj]] in 1193, and withdrew into the [[Great Indian Desert|Great Indian]] and [[Thar Desert]]s. The Marwari was vital to their survival, and during the 12th century they followed strict selective breeding processes, keeping the finest stallions for the use of their subjects.<ref name=Edwards/> During this time, the horses were considered [[divine being]]s, and at times they were only allowed to be ridden by members of the Rajput families.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horsemarwari.com/breedinformation.htm|title=Breed Information|publisher=horsemarwari.com|access-date=30 March 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509090358/http://www.horsemarwari.com/breedinformation.htm|archive-date=9 May 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref> When the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] captured northern India in the early 16th century, they brought [[Turkoman horse]]s that were probably used to supplement the breeding of the Marwari. Marwaris were renowned during this period for their bravery and courage in battle, as well as their loyalty to their riders. During the late 16th century, the Rajputs of Marwar region, who were under the suzerainty of Mughal emperor [[Akbar]], formed a cavalry force over 50,000 strong.<ref name=Edwards/> The Rathores believed that the Marwari horse could only leave a battlefield under one of three conditions – victory, death, or carrying a wounded master to safety. The horses were trained to be extremely responsive in battlefield conditions, and were practised in complex riding maneuvers.<ref name=Storey>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zTCdZctefhAC&q=Marwari%20horse&pg=PA160|title=Storey's Illustrated Guide to 96 Horse Breeds of North America|author=Dutson, Judith|year=2005|publisher=Storey Publishing|isbn=1-58017-612-7|pages=160–164}}</ref> Over 300 years later, during the [[World War I|First World War]], Marwar [[lancer]]s under [[Pratap Singh of Idar|Sir Pratap Singh]] assisted the British.<ref name=Edwards/>

[[File:MarwariHorseRajasthan.jpg|thumb|In traditional tack]]
The period of [[British Raj|British colonial rule]] hastened the Marwari's fall from dominance, as did the eventual [[Indian Independence Act 1947|independence of India]]. The British preferred other breeds, and tried to eliminate the Marwari, along with the Kathiawari.<ref name=Mag>{{cite journal|url=http://www.horsemanmagazine.com/2008/08/marwari-horse/|title=Marwari Horse|journal=Horseman Magazine|access-date=16 December 2009|date=10 August 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605144723/http://www.horsemanmagazine.com/2008/08/marwari-horse/|archive-date=5 June 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080608/haryana.htm|title=Reliving History on Horseback|author=Sirhindi, Manish|date=8 June 2008|access-date=18 January 2010|journal=The Tribune, Haryana Edition}}</ref> Britons living in India instead preferred [[thoroughbred]]s and [[polo pony|polo ponies]], and reduced the reputation of the Marwari to the point where even the inward-turning ears of the breed were mocked as the "mark of a native horse".<ref name=NagMag>{{cite journal|url=http://www.friendsofmarwari.org.uk/_docs/Nagmag.pdf|title=The Marwari Horse: Divine Horses of Rajasthan|author=Eveleigh, Mark|journal=NagMag|date=June 2009|access-date=5 February 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524010359/http://www.friendsofmarwari.org.uk/_docs/Nagmag.pdf|archive-date=24 May 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref> During the 1930s the Marwari deteriorated, with breeding stock diminishing and becoming of poorer quality due to poor breeding practices.<ref name=Edwards/> Indian independence, along with the obsolescence of warriors on horseback, led to a decreased need for the Marwari and many animals were subsequently killed.<ref name=Mag/> In the 1950s many Indian noblemen lost their land and hence much of their ability to take care of animals, resulting in many Marwari horses being sold as [[pack horse]]s, [[castration|castrated]], or killed. The breed was on the verge of extinction<ref name=Storey/> until the intervention of [[Umaid Singh|Maharaja Umaid Singhji]] in the first half of the 20th century saved the Marwari. His work was carried on by his grandson, [[Gaj Singh, Maharaja of Jodhpur|Maharaja Gaj Singh II]].<ref name=Edwards/>

A British horsewoman named Francesca Kelly founded a group called Marwari Bloodlines in 1995, with the goal of promoting and preserving the Marwari horse around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horsemarwari.com/indigenous.htm|title=Indigenous Horse Society of India|publisher=horsemarwari.com|access-date=30 March 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205124734/http://www.horsemarwari.com/indigenous.htm|archive-date=5 December 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 1999, Kelly and Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod, a descendant of Indian nobility, led a group that founded the Indigenous Horse Society of India (of which the Marwari Horse Society is part), a group that works with the government, breeders, and the public to promote and conserve the breed. Kelly and Dunlod also entered and won endurance races at the Indian national equestrian games, convincing the Equestrian Federation of India to sanction a national show for indigenous horses – the first in the country. The pair worked with other experts from the Indigenous Horse Society to develop the first breed standards.<ref name=Rajashorse/>

The government of India had originally banned the export of indigenous horse breeds, although not [[polo pony|polo ponies]] or [[Thoroughbred]]s, in 1952. This ban was partially lifted in 1999, when a small number of indigenous horses could be exported after receiving a special license.<ref name=Babus/> Kelly imported the first Marwari horse into the United States in 2000.<ref name=Rajashorse>{{cite journal|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/raja.html?c=y&page=1|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909140250/http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/raja.html?c=y&page=1|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-09-09|title=Saving the Raja's Horse|journal=Smithsonian Magazine|author=Overdorf, Jason|date=June 2004|access-date=19 May 2009}}</ref> Over the next seven years, 21 horses were exported, until, in 2006, licenses stopped being granted over concerns that native breeding populations were being threatened.<ref name=Babus/> One of the last Marwaris to be exported was the first to be imported to Europe, in 2006, when a stallion was given to the French [[Living Museum of the Horse]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horsemarwari.com/horse_europe.htm|title=Horses in Europe|publisher=horsemarwari.com|access-date=30 March 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080929194025/http://www.horsemarwari.com/horse_europe.htm|archive-date=29 September 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 2008, the Indian government began granting licenses for "temporary exports" of up to one year, to allow horses to be exhibited in other countries.

==Genetic studies==
As a direct result of indiscriminate breeding practices, as of 2001 only a few thousand purebred Marwari horses existed.<ref name=study>{{cite journal|title=Genetic diversity and bottleneck studies in the Marwari horse breed|journal=Journal of Genetics|volume=84|date=December 2005|doi=10.1007/BF02715799|pages=295–301|author1=Gupta, A.K. |author2=Chauhan, M. |author3=Tandon, S.N. |pmid=16385161|issue=3|s2cid=23041709}}</ref> Research studies have been conducted to examine the genetics of the Marwari horse and its relationship to other Indian and non-Indian horse breeds. Six different breeds have been identified in India: the Marwari, Kathiawari, [[Indian Country Bred|Spiti pony]], [[Indian Country Bred|Bhutia pony]], [[Manipuri Pony]], and [[Zaniskari pony|Zanskari]]. These six are distinct from each other in terms of unique performance traits and different agroclimactic conditions in the various areas of India where they originated. A 2005 study was conducted to identify past [[genetic bottleneck]]s in the Marwari horse. The study found that, in the DNA of the horses tested, there was no evidence of a genetic bottleneck in the breed's history. However, since the population has decreased rapidly in past decades, bottlenecks may have occurred that were not identified in the study.<ref name=study/> In 2007, a study was conducted to assess [[genetic variation]] among all Indian horse breeds except the Kathiawari. Based on analysis of [[Microsatellite (genetics)|microsatellite]] DNA, the Marwari was found to be the most genetically distinct breed of the five studied, and was most [[genetic distance|distant]] from the Manipuri; none of the breeds were found to have close genetic ties to the Thoroughbred. The Marwari was distinguishable from the other breeds in terms of both physical characteristics (mainly height) and environmental adaptability. The physical differences were attributed to differing ancestries: the Marwari horse are closely associated with the Arabian horse, while the four other breeds are supposedly descended from the [[Tibetan pony]].<ref>{{cite journal|title= Genetic relationships of five Indian horse breeds using microsatellite markers|journal=Animal|volume=1|issue=4|date=May 2007|pages=483–488|doi=10.1017/S1751731107694178|pmid=22444405|author1=Behl, R. |author2=Behl, J. |author3=Gupta, N. |author4=Gupta, S.C. |doi-access=free|bibcode=2007Anim....1..483B }}</ref>

ProtoVillage in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, has emerged as a rural hub for skateboarding in India. The community built its first skatepark in 2018 and a second, larger park in 2025. Designed to be contest-ready, they host skate jams, contests and have athletes visiting giving local youth exposure to higher standards of the sport. Children from Proto Village have already won dozens of medals in state and national level skateboarding competitions having trained on their first park.

Integrated into ProtoVillage’s education and youth-development model, the skateparks provide local children from under resourced backgrounds sustained access to training, international skateboarders, and national-level contests. The project demonstrates how skateboarding can support rural empowerment, offering a positive lifestyle, skill development, and broader cultural exposure for youth outside major urban centres.This integration of sport, education, and rural development positions ProtoVillage as a notable contributor to the growth and diversification of skateboarding in India.

India's first rural skate park, Janwaar Castle, in Janwaar village in [[Bundelkhand]], Madhya Pradesh, teaches children to skate.<ref>{{cite news |title=No School, No Skateboarding: India's First Rural Skate Park |url=https://hindustantimes.com/static/groundglass/no-school-no-skateboarding/ |access-date=15 July 2024 |work=Hindustantimes.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=HISTORY TV18 {{!}} Skateboarding Village |url=https://www.historyindia.com/story/skateboarding-village |access-date=15 July 2024 |website=HISTORY TV18}}</ref> It is free of charge for village children, with the only condition that the children must attend school. The children respect girls and help to bridge caste differences.

In September 2023, [[Chandigarh]] skatepark was opened to the public. It is located next to the football turf in Tiranga Urban Park, across the Sector 17 market plaza. It spans a whopping 44,000 square feet, currently the biggest of its kind in the country.<ref>{{Cite news |date=Jul 23, 2025 |title=How skateboarding is growing big in Chandigarh |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/how-skateboarding-is-growing-big-in-chandigarh/ |access-date=9 Sep 2025 |work=The Tribune}}</ref>

== Scientific Contributions ==
Chandra has made outstanding contributions to the invention, discovery and development of Noscapinoids, which was a transformational event in the treatment of drug resistant cancers.{{cn|date=October 2025}} During the past more than two decades, Chandra has been engaged with anticancer drug discovery focused on tubulin binding cytotoxic agents and new therapeutic combinations to treat cancer more effectively. He has also contributed towards the design and development of new drugs for management of human cancer based on HDAC inhibitors. He has demonstrated that Noscapine and its derivatives (Br-Nos, Rd Br-Nos) are effective in texane resistant cancer, and do not show sign of neurotoxicity or immunosuppression. He has also integrated in-silico analysis, in-vitro and in-vivo studies, to identify and validate novel therapeutics. He has led the team which brought this revolutionary drug to clinical trials but also has continued to work in the development of Noscapinoids as new cancer drugs. (Nat Sci Rep, 2018; Artificial Cells Nanomed and Biotechnol, 2018, 46(6), 1288-12199).<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Tomar |first1= Ravi |last2= Sahni |first2= Ashweta |last3= Chandra |first3= Ishita |last4= Tomar |first4= Vartika |last5= Chandra |first5= Ramesh |title= Review of Noscapine and its analogues as potential anti-cancer drugs |journal= Mini-Reviews in Organic Chemistry |date= 2018 |volume= 15 |issue= 5 |pages= 345–363 |url= https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322653093 |doi=10.2174/1570193X15666180221153911}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | last1=Singh | first1=Snigdha | last2=Goel | first2=Tanya | last3=Singh | first3=Aarushi | last4=Chugh | first4=Heerak | last5=Chakraborty | first5=Nayanika | last6=Roy | first6=Indrajit | last7=Tiwari | first7=Manisha | last8=Chandra | first8=Ramesh |title= Synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA@Ag core–shell nanoparticles and biological application on human lung cancer cell line and antibacterial strains |url= https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/21691401.2023.2295534?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed | journal= Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology | date=2024 | volume=52 | issue=1 | pages=46–58 | doi=10.1080/21691401.2023.2295534 | pmid=38156875 |access-date= September 17, 2025}}</ref>

For SAR study, he has synthesized a library of derivatives of noscapine (Noscapinoids), a known antitussive chemotherapeutic agent having low toxicity in humans, and have shown that they promote assembly of tubulin subunits, a characteristic suitable for the treatment of tumors and various neoplastic diseases. His group has demonstrated that derivatives of the natural opioid, Noscapine (such as halogeno-, nitro- and partially reduced Noscapine) have interesting anti-microtubular properties that differ from other two principal classes of anticancer drugs that target microtubules i.e. Vinca alkaloids and taxanes widely used in chemotherapy (albeit, both are toxic at effective doses). In particular, they have reported on the high promise shown by brominated derivatives of noscapine (EMO11 & EMO12) as anticancer chemotherapy agents while improving on some of the limitations of the other anti-microtubule acting drugs. Treatment with one or more of these compounds selectively halts cell cycle progression at theG2/M phase in cancer cells without affecting the cell cycle of normal human fibroblast cells. This mitotic catastrophe in cancer cells is then followed by induction of apoptosis. The apoptotic mechanism is associated with activation of the key executioner cysteine protease,caspase-3. Most importantly, these compounds are more potent against cancer cells that have become resistant to currently used drugs, like vinblastine, teniposide and paclitaxel, as compared to their respective sensitive-parent lines. Additionally, he has contributed to regulate the Noscapine-based nanoparticle drug delivery in glioblastoma and skin cancer cells.

He has carried out extensive in-depth studies on binding affinity of Heme Oxygenase Inhibitor, Sn protoporphyrin, with proteins, apomyoglobin and serum albumin. The researchers have led to a description of a mechanism by which the rate-limiting enzyme, Heme Oxygenase, in the degradation of heme to bilirubin, is inhibited by SnPP and SnMP, which finally controls physiological jaundice. He has also studied the detailed mechanism of interaction of retinoic acid, singly as well as in conjunction with Sn-protoporphyrin, with Heme Oxygenase, and the antagonistic effect of ZnPP on gossypol-mediated induction of hepatic and renal Heme Oxygenase. These studies have permitted simple exploration of the kinetic mechanism of porphyrins binding by apomyoglobin and serum albumin. Based on these fundamental studies, a therapy for neonatal jaundice has been discovered. A compendious account of his notable contributions in this area has appeared in Drug Metabolism Reviews (1993).<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Chandra |first1= R. |last2= Upadhyaya |first2= G. |last3= Dass |first3= S.

In his research on activation of gene transcription, he has demonstrated the successful employment (in vivo) of hairpin triplex forming oligonucleotides for targeted activation of gene expression of two genes mapping on chromosomes of saccharomyces cerevisiae.
His other noteworthy contributions relate to free-radical-mediated oxidative DNA cleavage, and significant modifications of structure and evaluation of active principles of ayurvedic plants such as Asparagus Racemosus, Acacia Catechu, Ocimum Sanctum, Annona Squamosa and Papaver Somniferous, which display high potential for medical applications.
His recent contribution relates to development of several polymer based non-viral vectors, wherein he has successfully demonstrated their efficacy to deliver genes and siRNA to mammalian cells. He explored two different polymers i.e. chitosan and PEI and modulated them to fabricate nanoparticles for delivery of genes and siRNA.

== Background ==
The ruling LDF government in the state faced infightings, especially among [[V. S. Achuthanandan]] and [[Centre of Indian Trade Unions|CITU]] as the former was denied the Chief Ministerial post. KSKTU launched agitations against paddy field reclamation, which spiraled into a law and order issue. The state High Court directed the government to return the crop fields to the farmers. M. L. Ahuja cited "an element of militancy" and "disregard for democratic forms of agitations" among the CPI(M) activists during the agitation.

== Alliances and parties ==
<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=PC: Alliances Kerala 1998|url=https://www.indiavotes.com/alliance/partyWise/12/28}}</ref>

==Writing==

His major works were before introduction of printing press in Odisha. So all of his works are found in the form of Palm leaf manuscript.<ref name="Dāsa Mishra Baḍajenā Behera 1987 p. 7" /> He has experimented with different forms of and styles of writing. He wrote ''Chatura Binoda'' (English translation "Four Tales of amusement"
) around 1770.<ref name="Mukherjee 1998 p. 73">{{cite book | last=Mukherjee | first=S. | title=A Dictionary of Indian Literature: Beginnings-1850 | publisher=Orient Longman | year=1998 | isbn=978-81-250-1453-9 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YCJrUfVtZxoC&pg=PA16 | access-date=2019-07-12 | page=73}}</ref> This is regarded as one of the earliest Odia Fictional prose.<ref name="Sahitya Akademi 2001 p.

There are several stories that follow when these 2 characters meet which in turn have more subplots. This form of fiction writing was not new but the usage of language makes it a nearly modern work.

His magnum opus is ''Samara Taranga'' (English translation "Wave of war"), ballad written on Maratha -Dhenkanal war of 1781. He was an eyewitness to the battles and the poem is a testimony to the events. It has been historically accurate as the events and places mentioned have been corroborated by other sources. The king of Dhenkanal was pleased with his work and granted him a village named Nuagaon near the river Brahmani.<ref name="Indian History Congress 1976 p.245-251 "/>

'''''Wallaceophis''''' is a genus of snake in the family [[Colubridae]].<ref name=RDB/> It was first described in 2016.

==Etymology==
The genus has been named ''Wallaceophis'' in honour of the legendary 19th century British naturalist [[Alfred Russel Wallace]] (1823–1913), considered the father of biogeography. The [[Specific name (zoology)|specific name]] ''gujaratenisis'' commemorates the western Indian state where it was discovered.<ref name=":0"/>

==Description==
''Wallaceophis'' is a medium-sized snake in relation to members of the family, measuring {{convert|250|-|930|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. The [[holotype]] measured {{convert|501|mm|abbr=on}} in SVL and had {{convert|61|mm|abbr=on}} long tail. A 3–4 dorsal scale row wide black longitudinal stripe runs from the post nasal to the tail tip on each side on a wheat colored [[Dorsum (anatomy)|dorsum]].<ref name=":0"/>

== Diagnosis ==
The genus differs from most colubrid genera in lacking hypapophyses on posterior dorsal vertebrae and in bearing nine maxillary teeth (the posterior-most teeth are subequal) and nine palatine teeth. Dorsal scale reduction is characterized by vertebral reductions, increase of scale rows posterior to neck, a single lateral reduction at midbody, and regular vertebral reductions in posterior half of the body. The [[rostral scale]] is not visible from above; a small [[presubocular scale]] is present. There are eight [[Supralabial scale|supralabials]], the fourth and fifth ones are in contact with the orbit. The [[anal scale]] is undivided. There are 215–216 [[ventral scales]] and 51–54 [[subcaudal scales]]. The [[hemipenis]] is subcylindrical and spinose throughout.<ref name=":0" />

''Wallaceophis'' may be distinguished from most members of the family Colubridae by its lack of hypapophyses on posterior dorsal vertebrae. This condition is present in racers and whip snakes of the genera ''[[Platyceps]]'', ''[[Hemorrhois]]'', ''[[Spalerosophis]]'', ''[[Hemerophis]]'', ''[[Dolichophis]]'', ''[[Hierophis]]'', ''[[Eirenis]]'', ''[[Orientocoluber]]'', ''[[Coluber]]'', ''[[Macroprotodon]]'', ''[[Bamanophis]]'', and ''[[Lytorhynchus]]''. ''Wallaceophis'' differs from these genera in bearing unique vertebral dorsal scale reductions (vs. lateral reductions in ''Platyceps'', ''Hemorrhois'', ''Hemerophis'', ''Dolichophis'', ''Hierophis'', ''Eirenis'', ''Orientocoluber'', ''Coluber'', ''Macroprotodon'', ''Bamanophis'', and ''Lytorhynchus''); nine maxillary teeth (vs. 15–17 in ''Spalerosophis'', 14–19 in ''Platyceps'', 13–16 in ''Hemorrhois'', 17–20 in ''Hemerophis'', 16–18 in ''Hierophis'', 16–26 in ''Eirenis'', 15–19 in ''Bamanophis''); presubocular present (vs. absent in ''Macroprotodon'', ''Orientocoluber'', ''Bamanophis''). The genus is closely related to the genus ''[[Lytorhynchus]]'' based on ~3047bp of nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences. However, it differs from that genus in having vertebral dorsal scale reduction (vs. lateral in ''Lytorhynchus'') and in having nine palatine teeth (vs. 3–5 in ''Lytorhynchus'').<ref name=":0" />

== Intelligibility with Indian Meitei ==
{{Further|States of India by Meitei speakers{{!}}Meitei language in India}}
Regarding the similarities and differences between the Bangladeshi Meitei language and Indian Meitei language, [[Ethnologue]] says the following:
{{Blockquote|''“Intelligibility of Meitei in Bangladesh is difficult. Those in Bangladesh may understand India Meitei better than vice versa possibly due to more language change in Bangladesh over the years. India Meitei is more standard. Intelligibility between dialects in Bangladesh definitely sufficient to understand complex and abstract discourse.

The mosque is considered the heart of the Darul Uloom neighborhood of Qadian, with the neighborhood being founded following the construction of the mosque. It was built in conjunction with a hostel and high school building to accommodate the increasing population of [[Qadian]].<ref name=":0" />

== History ==
The [[Cornerstone|foundation stone]] of the mosque was laid on 5 March 1910 by the first caliph, after [[Fajr (prayer)|Fajr prayer]],<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Hazrat Maulana Maulvi Nooruddin as Khalifatul Masih I |url=https://www.alislam.org/articles/hazrat-maulana-nooruddin-khalifatul-masih-i/ |access-date=2025-06-21 |website=Islam Ahmadiyya |language=en}}</ref> and two months later, on 22 April 1910, when one portion of the mosque was built, the mosque was inaugurated with [[Asr (prayer)|Asr prayers]].<ref name=":0" /> The construction of the mosque was completed with {{INRConvert|5,000|year=1910}}, through the donations of the members of the community.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Following its inception, it was used as a hostel for a small time.<ref name=":1" />

=== Jalsa Salana Qadian ===
Between 1912-1913, the courtyard of the mosque was constructed, which spans across 5700 square ft. For a period of 10 years, spanning from 1913-1923, the [[Jalsa Salana|Jalsa Salana in Qadian]] was held at the mosque here.<ref name=":0" />

=== Khilafat Election ===
Following the death of [[Hakeem Noor-ud-Din]], as per his will of the selection of a successor, the election of the second caliph was held at this mosque on 14 March 1914, following which [[Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad]] was elected as the [[Ahmadiyya Caliphate|second caliph in Ahmadiyya]].<ref name=":0" />

=== Partition of Indian subcontinent ===
Following the [[partition of India]], the mosque remained closed when it was temporarily taken over by [[Hindus]] and [[Sikhs]], with the exterior being used as a make-shift [[Dhobi Ghat|dhobi ghat]] and interior for public meetings.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ahmad |first=Mirza Bashir |url=https://new.alislam.org/library/books/qadian-diary?page=38&option=toc |title=The Qadian Diary: a story of bloodshed, loot and destruction |year=2023 |pages=20,94-95}}</ref> It continued to remain closed until 1990 when [[Friday prayer|Friday prayers]] were resumed, along with the resumption of regular prayers in 2006.<ref name=":0" />

== Architecture ==
The mosque has several features:

* 1 central dome with 2 small minarets
* 2 bigger minarets on the corner of the mosques

In February 2017, the entire mosque was renovated with new waterproof plastering and painting.

== Water pollution ==
Besides its high crime rate, Maroofganj is also unpopular in [[Gaya, India|Gaya]] for its poor [[sewerage]] infrastructure where residents see occasional and [[Sanitary sewer overflow|regular overflows]] especially in the area surrounding Nala Road ([[Hindi]]: नाला रोड, lit. 'drainage road').<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":12" />

The campaign aims to address and reduce the use of gender-based abusive language in daily conversations, promoting respectful communication within households and communities. It gained national attention after being featured in Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]]’s ''[[Mann Ki Baat]]'' radio program.

== History ==
Jaglan observed that men in his village [[Bibipur]], frequently used [[abusive language]], particularly towards women, during [[Panchayati raj|panchayat]] meetings.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Saikia |first1=Pari |last2=Nabi |first2=Safina |date=2022-01-26 |title=Cut the cussing: the Indian man on a mission to end sexist swearing |url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/jan/26/cut-the-cussing-the-indian-man-on-a-mission-to-end-sexist-swearing |access-date=2025-01-08 |work=[[The Guardian]] |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> His inspiration to start the campaign came after his daughter returned home asking him about the meaning of a curse she had heard on the playground.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news |last=Bhowmick |first=Nilanjana |date=2023-08-02 |title=We need a new way to swear … one that doesn't demean the women of India |url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/aug/02/we-need-new-way-swear-that-doesnt-demean-women-of-india |access-date=2024-12-26 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dsouza |first=Krystelle |date=2024-09-20 |title=His Daughter's Birth Turned Him Into a Feminist: Sunil Jaglan's Fight Against Female Foeticide |url=https://thebetterindia.com/366915/sunil-jaglan-selfie-with-daughter-bibipur-village-haryana-daughters-day-women-empowerment-female-foeticide/ |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=The Better India |language=en-US}}</ref>

== 2025 Survey ==
In 2025, a survey conducted by Sunil Jaglan under the Gaali Bandh Ghar campaign collected data from 70,000 individuals across India, with a focused sample of 7,400 residents in Haryana. The survey revealed that 62% of Haryana respondents (approximately 4,600 individuals from Jind, Hisar, Gurugram, and Nuh districts) regularly used gender-based abusive language at home. Nationally, the survey identified varying prevalence across states:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Study points to widespread use of gender-based cuss words |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/study-points-to-widespread-use-of-gender-based-cuss-words/ |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ഇന്ത്യയിൽ ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതൽ ആളുകൾ അശ്ലീല പദങ്ങൾ ഉപയോ ഗിക്കുന്നത് ഈ ന ഗരത്തിലോ? സർവേ കണ്ടെത്തിയത് ഞെട്ടിക്കുന്ന വിവരങ്ങൾ |url=https://www.suprabhaatham.com/details/431797 |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=suprabhaatham |language=ml}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Delhi 'Most Abusive' In India, Gen-Z Blame OTT, Video Games {{!}} How 'Gaalibaaz' Is Your State? |url=https://www.news18.com/viral/delhi-most-abusive-state-in-india-gen-z-blame-ott-video-games-full-ranking-list-ws-l-aa-aa-aa-aa-9458423.html |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=News18 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-07-23 |title=Prof. Jagan Survey Reveals Delhi Leads India in Swearing; Gali Band Ghar Campaign Seeks Change {{!}} ગાળ બોલવામાં દિલ્હી દેશમાં પહેલા ક્રમાંકે, પંજાબ અને ઉત્તર પ્રદેશ બીજા અને ત્રીજા નંબરે |url=https://www.gujaratimidday.com/news/national-news/article/delhi-tops-nation-in-swearing-kashmir-least-11-year-survey-by-prof-sunil-jaglan-248428 |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=www.gujaratimidday.com |language=gu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Paul |first=James |date=2025-07-17 |title=Delhi Ranks Number One In States Using The Most 'Maa-Behen Ki Gaali'; Internet Jibes 'Maja Nahi Aata Gaali Ke Bina' |url=https://in.mashable.com/culture/97245/delhi-ranks-number-one-in-states-using-the-most-maa-behen-ki-gaali-internet-jibes-maja-nahi-aata-gaa |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=Mashable India |language=en-in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=People In This City Are The Most Abusive — Is Your State On The List? |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/people-in-this-city-are-the-most-abusive-is-your-state-on-the-list |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=Free Press Journal |language=en}}</ref>

'''''Stories by Rabindranath Tagore''''' is a 2015 Indian [[Hindi]]-language television series which aired on the [[Epic (TV channel)|Epic]] channel.<ref name="Kumar"/> It is directed by [[Anurag Basu]].

==Overview==
Set in [[Bengal]] of the 1920s, the show is a representation of the classic short stories by the Bengali writer and Nobel laureate [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. In his literary work, Tagore focused on relationships which were colored by human shortcomings and idiosyncrasies. More often than other fiction of Tagore's era, confident women were the [[protagonist]]s of his stories, strong in their stead while cocooned in a conservative [[Culture of India|Indian society]].<ref>For a feminist overview of such protagonists, see Nikhat Hoque (20 February 2019): https://feminisminindia.com/2019/02/20/progressive-women-stories-by-rabindranath-tagore/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813031531/https://feminisminindia.com/2019/02/20/progressive-women-stories-by-rabindranath-tagore/ |date=13 August 2020 }}</ref> In a culture where adultery, rebellion, sorrow, and death were a taboo, Tagore’s stories were [[progressivism|progressive]] and brought a shift in the mindset of traditional Indian values.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/kids/anurag-basu-to-helm-stories-by-rabindranath-tagore-for-epic-150514 |title=Anurag Basu to helm 'Stories by Rabindranath Tagore' for Epic |newspaper=Indian Television |date=14 May 2015 |accessdate=9 November 2015 |archive-date=1 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101060014/http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/kids/anurag-basu-to-helm-stories-by-rabindranath-tagore-for-epic-150514 |url-status=live }}</ref> All the episodes are available on streaming network [https://www.epicon.in/tv-shows/stories-by-rabindranath-tagore/season-1/e1-chokher-bali-part-1 Epic On]

==Background and production==
The show launched on 6 July 2015 on The EPIC Channel. In ‘Stories By Rabindranath Tagore’, Anurag Basu chose to translate the stories in his own way. He handpicked different stories like [[Chokher Bali (novel)|Chokher Bali]], Charulata, Kabuliwala, Detective, Samapti, Chutti, etc. and created a unique [[background score]] for them. The show devoted two or three episodes to each novel, while short stories were narrated in a single episode. The director chose a unique way for these stories to unfold – each story was linked with the next in an intrinsic manner and the narration was blended with translations of Tagore's songs. The show covered over 14 stories in 26 episodes, each episode duration being 60 minutes.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/the-epic-channel-unveils-first-look-of-stories-rabindranath-tagore-directed-anurag-basu |title=The EPIC Channel unveils first look of 'Stories by Rabindranath Tagore' directed by Anurag Basu=Telly Chakkar |date=8 May 2015 |accessdate=9 November 2015 |archive-date=26 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151026131151/http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/the-epic-channel-unveils-first-look-of-stories-rabindranath-tagore-directed-anurag-basu |url-status=live }}</ref>

The show is set in old [[Kolkata]]. Basu produced a colossal set, and also filmed on location and used authentic [[costumes]]. Basu's wife, Tani Basu, led the creative development of the show to delve deeper into cultural references and political and social manifestations. Original [[Film score|music score]] and Tagore's [[Bengali language|Bengali]] songs were re-created to further enhance the appeal of the show. Indian singers like [[Arijit Singh]], [[Shaan (singer)|Shaan]] and [[Shalmali Kholgade]] lent their voices for these melodious [[soundtracks]].

The EPIC Channel developed a marketing campaign ‘Epic at 10’ to fortify the show's time-slot. A mnemonic was established to signify the show's airing slot of 10 pm. Innovative marketing initiatives were taken to create awareness such as Twitter Alarm, Epic at 10 contest on social media, Live Twitter chats with Anurag Basu, special screenings for the media, and so on.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/mam/marketing/mam/grey-group-indias-epic10-wins-two-gold-at-pro-max-awards-160514 |title=Grey Group India's Epic@10 wins two gold at Pro Max awards |newspaper=Indian Television.com |date=14 May 2015 |accessdate=9 November 2015 |archive-date=13 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160613134334/http://www.indiantelevision.com/mam/marketing/mam/grey-group-indias-epic10-wins-two-gold-at-pro-max-awards-160514 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Reception==
[[Deccan Herald]] – "Basu's direction of Stories from Rabindranath Tagore is especially charming in its portrayal of the [[Bengal]]i milieu of those times. From the [[clothes]] worn by the [[protagonists]] (especially the women in their puff-sleeved, lace-trimmed blouses and the [[sari]]s worn the Bengali way) to the period furniture and the [[locale (geographic)|locale]]s, everything is picture-perfect, as is the casual dropping of Bengali words."<ref name="Kumar">{{cite web |url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/498036/an-epic-discovery.html |title=An 'epic' discovery |last=Kumar |first=Melanie P. |date=30 August 2015 |work=Deccan Herald |accessdate=10 June 2016 |archive-date=18 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180218090139/http://www.deccanherald.com/content/498036/an-epic-discovery.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[DNA]]- "What makes the serial is the [[lighting]], so canny that it becomes both narrator and character. In an [[amber]] [[chiaroscuro]] of a bygone era it details a range of moods from the stark to the tender. Basu has achieved a fine balance between the [[populist]] and the elite."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/telescope-a-question-for-tv/ |title=Telescope: A question for TV |newspaper=Indian Express |date=14 January 2015 |accessdate=9 November 2015 |archive-date=17 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160117102400/http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/telescope-a-question-for-tv/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Business Standard]] – "While most of us have read Tagore, to see [[Cultural icon|iconic]] stories such as [[Kabuliwala (short story)|Kabuliwala]] come to life is a different [[pleasure]] altogether. Moreover, the women in Tagore's stories are not scheming vessels of family politics. There is [[Cultural diversity|diversity]] of representation and each story is nuanced with many [[shades]] of grey. Basu has said in an interview that he was so tired of watching women on Indian TV that he jumped at the chance of adapting Tagore."

[[The Indian Express]] praised the show in the article, "Tagore's stories have a strange sense of gender equality: Anurag Basu"<ref>{{cite news |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/entertainment-others/tagores-stories-have-a-strange-sense-of-gender-equality/ |title=Tagore's stories have a strange sense of gender equality: Anurag Basu |newspaper=The Indian Express |date=3 July 2015 |accessdate=9 November 2015 |archive-date=22 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151022211013/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/entertainment-others/tagores-stories-have-a-strange-sense-of-gender-equality/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and spoke about Anurag Basu's brilliance and the [[genre]]-defying format of the show.
