The &#039;&#039;&#039;Khamenlok clash&#039;&#039;&#039; occurred during 12–14 June 2023, in the course of [[2023–2025 Manipur violence]] between the [[Meitei people|Meitei]] and [[Kuki people|Kuki]] people, in the Khamenlok river valley, a branch valley of the [[Iril River]] valley, in the [[Saikul subdivision]] of [[Kangpokpi district]]. An estimated mob of 3,000 Meitei assailants, some with sophisticated weapons, launched an attack on the Kuki villages in the Khamenlok valley, over a period of three days, burning houses and rampaging the area. While the Kuki villagers escaped to the hills on arrival of the assailants, security forces were blocked from reaching the area by [[Meira Paibi|women activist groups]]. Finally, on the night of 13–14 June, while the assailants were celebrating in a church building, the Kuki village defence volunteers descended from the hills and carried out a wholesale massacre of the Meitei mobs. The official death count was nine people, but unofficial estimates were in excess of 200 people.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu 15 Jun&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Manipur violence ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[2023–2025 Manipur violence]] broke out on 3 May 2023, soon after a protest rally held by the tribal communities of Manipur. Starting out as clashes between the [[Meitei people|Meitei]] and [[Kuki people|Kuki]] (tribal) communities of Manipur at the border between [[Churachandpur district|Churachandpur]] and [[Bishnupur district|Bishnupur]] districts, the ethnic violence soon spun out of control engulfing the whole state. All the Meiteis living in the hill districts dominated by Kukis fled their homes and the Kukis living in the Imphal Valley did likewise, causing widespread displacement of over 60,000 people lasting a whole year while the violence continued unabated. The Meitei community has developed organised militias such as [[Arambai Tenggol]] and [[Meitei Leepun]], which looted state police armouries to gain advanced weaponry, and used it to wage war against the tribal districts inhabited by Kukis.The Kukis, who possess licensed guns due to their hunting occupation, attempted to organise &amp;quot;village defence volunteers&amp;quot;, while the security forces created &amp;quot;buffer zones&amp;quot; to keep the two sides apart. Both the sides possessed [[Insurgency in Manipur|insurgent groups]], whose role in the violence remained unclear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Khamenlok valley ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Kangpokpi District]],{{Efn|Kangpokpi district was previously the Sadar Hills subdivision of the [[Senapati district]].}} which surrounds the northern [[Imphal Valley]] on three sides, is mainly inhabited by Kukis. The jurisdiction of the Valley districts ([[Imphal West district|Imphal West]] and [[Imphal East district|Imphal East]]) has been extended over the decades to include the river valleys that feed into Imphal, thus encroaching into the hill areas which otherwise belonged to the Kangpokpi district. These extensions are controversial, causing uncertain borders between the valley districts and Kangpokpi district.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |title=Manipur Administrative Atlas |year=2005 |url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/4393/1/50276_2001_ADM.pdf |at=Maps 8–11 |publisher=Census of India, Government of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Vijaita Singh, [https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/several-hill-villages-in-manipur-wrongly-included-in-valley-districts-st-panel/article67296353.ece Several hill villages in Manipur wrongly included in valley districts: ST panel], The Hindu, 11 September 2023. &amp;quot;A report by the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) has observed that several hill villages in Manipur were wrongly included in the valley districts during the Census 2011 exercise.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A portion of the [[Iril River]] valley (also called Saikul Valley) has been part of Imphal East since 1971, but the census map of 2001 shows it extending almost up to the border of the [[Saikul|Saikul Town]]. The &#039;&#039;&#039;Khamenlok valley&#039;&#039;&#039; is a branch valley of the Saikul Valley, extending from a village called Uyumpok. Near the mouth of the valley is a Meitei village called Nongsum,{{efn|Alternative spellings: Nongshum, Nungshum.}} and, next to it, a Tangkhul Naga village called Khongbal Tangkhul (population: 415).{{sfnp|Imphal East District Census Handbook|2011|p=106}} These two are included in the Imphal East district. The remainder of the Khamenlok Valley has numerous Kuki villages, which are part of the Kangpokpi district. These are, in order, H. Khopibung, Khamenlok, Chullouphai, &#039;&#039;&#039;Aigejang&#039;&#039;&#039;, A. Leikot, A. Phainom, Thombol, T. Jordanphai, Songjang and Govajang (total population: 1815).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EastMojo&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!-- However, the Meitei community appears to lay claim to the valley based on the controversial district maps. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within the Imphal East district, Uyumpok is a large village with numerous sub-villages (total population: 2899), and to its north is Sagolmang (population: 967).{{sfnp|Imphal East District Census Handbook|2011|p=106}} Sagolmang has a police station, whose jurisdiction extends to the Khamenlok Valley, even though the latter is in a different revenue district.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, the Imphal East police were responsible for law and order in the Khamenlok area. They were also the main source of news for the media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the month of May 2023, the villagers of Nongsum complained of firing and intimidation by the Kuki villagers of Khamenlok.

On Monday, 12 June, by 10:45 am, armed assailants raided the Khopibung and Khamenlok villages, firing at the &amp;quot;group of civilians&amp;quot;, and setting houses on fire. By the time [[Assam Rifles]] and [[Gorkha regiments (India)|Gorkha Rifles]] troops arrived at the village, the gunmen are said to have fled the area. &#039;&#039;[[The Times of India]]&#039;&#039; report said that three people were injured.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI 13 Jun&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The &#039;&#039;[[Imphal Free Press]]&#039;&#039; provided the information that, as soon as the news about the gun battle was circulated, &amp;quot;women folks&amp;quot; ([[Meira Paibis]]) in the Khurai Lamlong Keithel area (a suburb of Imphal City on the route to Khamenlok) blocked the roads, so that the (central) armed forces could not reach the area.

On 20 June, thousands of Kuki villagers including those from the Khamenlok area protested in [[Saikul]], saying ten villages of Khamenlok were burnt down. They questioned the prime minister&#039;s silence and sought his immediate intervention.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 24 June, a memorial was held for the nine Meitei people killed in the clash. The Meitei activist group Eramdam Kanba Lup (EKAL) urged the government to declare Khamenlok a [[Protected Forest]] and to establish a &amp;quot;war cemetery&amp;quot; for the killed fighters. The president of the Meetei Peace Committee emphasised upholding the &amp;quot;spirit of patriotism&amp;quot; embodied in the nine fighters and the responsibility to safeguard &amp;quot;Manipur&#039;s integrity&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, the [[Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity]] (COCOMI), characterised the Kuki fighters as &amp;quot;narco-terrorists&amp;quot; and declared that the sacrifices made by Meitei civilian volunteers would not go in vain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Editors Guild of India investigation ===&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 July, the [[Indian Army|Indian Army&#039;s]] Information Warfare wing wrote to the [[Editors Guild of India]], raising the issue of bias in Imphal media. The reporting on Khamenlok clash was cited as one of the examples of biased reporting. The letter cited a &amp;quot;mob&amp;quot; attacking the Khamenlok village and the adjoining areas, which was duly supported by womenfolk (Meira Paibis) that blocked Army troops from reaching the village. After carrying out arson of multiple villages, the members of the mob or those supporting them were killed in a &amp;quot;retaliatory strike&amp;quot;. Notwithstanding the truth, the letter said that the newspapers in Imphal covered the incident as civilians being killed by &amp;quot;Kuki militants&amp;quot;. This and other similar examples were &amp;quot;outright (mis)representation of facts&amp;quot;, the Army said, and saw such reporting as a major contributor to the instigation of further violence. It invited the Editors Guild of India to investigate the media bias of Imphal media.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wire media bias&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Editors Guild of India sent a team of three senior editors who investigated the allegations and confirmed that the Imphal media reported fake news and spread disinformation, which progressively deepened the ethnic divide in Manipur. Their report also called out the Imphal media for vilifying security forces, which was being tacitly supported by the state government and Manipur Police.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Few amongst those who got killed were not locals and had been killed elsewhere in the counter-attacks the following day by the Kukis.

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early proposals ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, ISRO chief [[K. Sivan]] presented the features of the proposed space station for the first time, saying that the space station may weigh up to 20 tons. Three years later, in his New Year&#039;s speech delivered before retiring as chairman, Sivan stated that India&#039;s first crewed spaceflight project [[Gaganyaan]] had completed the design phase and entered into the testing phase, hinting that the organization has achieved a breakthrough in reaching the space mission milestone.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;isrostation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last1=Tiwari |first1=Sakshi |date=17 January 2022 |title=India&#039;s Space Station: As China Set To Become The Only Country With A Space Station, Will ISRO Hit Its 2030 Deadline? |url=https://eurasiantimes.com/china-exclusive-space-station-will-indian-isro-meet-its-2030-deadline/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231213183247/https://www.eurasiantimes.com/china-exclusive-space-station-will-indian-isro-meet-its-2030-deadline/ |archive-date=13 December 2023 |access-date=9 November 2022 |work=Eurasian Times }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2023, chief [[S. Somanath]] said: &amp;quot;Our Gaganyaan programme is towards a human space flight capability to space and once that happens, we will be able to look at space station building in subsequent modules. The timeline for this space station project spans the next 20 to 25 years. We will be definitely looking at manned exploration, a human spaceflight for a longer duration, space exercise there in our agenda&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hindustan-20231008&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |editor1-last=Dhar |editor1-first=Aniruddha Dhar |last=Anand |first=Nisha |date=8 October 2023 |title=When will India build own space station?

The BAS will have 5 modules connected via the [[Common Berthing Mechanism]]. The entire station will have dimensions of 27m × 20m, It will have a maximum short duration crew capacity of 6 astronauts and a nominal crew size of 3-4 astronauts. BAS will orbit between 400–450&amp;amp;nbsp;km with an inclination of 51.6° making it accessible to [[NASA|American]], [[Roscosmos|Russian]], [[JAXA|Japanese]] as well  [[European Space Agency]]&#039;s spaceports.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The establishment of the Bharatiya Antariksha Station is poised to enhance India&#039;s presence in space research and exploration significantly as it will provide a unique platform for conducting scientific experiments in microgravity and foster advancements in space technology, potentially leading to economic activities based on lunar resources by 2047.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two to four astronauts could stay in space on the BAS. The crew module and rocket that will transport humans to and from the space station will dock at one end of the station. India is creating a unique docking port that will work with the [[International Space Station]]&#039;s docking port. At least four pairs of solar panels and four distinct modules are possible for the Indian Space Station once it is finished. In case of an emergency, it will also feature a permanently docked safety crew module escape system. According to the existing blueprints, the Bharatiya Antariksha Station would be powered by two sizable solar panels in the initial phase.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Bagla |first=Pallava |date=4 March 2024 |title=ISRO Starts Work On India&#039;s Maiden Space Station, Here&#039;s How It May Look |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/isro-starts-work-on-indias-maiden-space-station-heres-how-it-may-look-5171921 |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=NDTV.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The successful test of FCPS, a 100 [[Watt]] payload, onboard [[POEM-3]] was reported by ISRO on 2 January 2024. Under high pressure, a [[chemical reaction]] was sparked using [[oxygen]] and [[hydrogen]], when moved through a fuel cell assembly. It assisted in producing 180 Watt electricity and clean drinking water as byproduct. The complete system functioned as planned in radiation-filled, temperature-extreme, and weightless environment.The next phase will be the construction of a 100 Kilowatt system. [[Fuel cell]]s have already been constructed by ISRO and provided to other organizations for testing. The International Space Station (ISS) is already using this technology, but ISRO is working to broaden its application. On board [[PSLV Orbital Experiment Module|POEM-3]], the 10 [[Ampere-hour]] high-power energy cells based on silicon–[[graphite]] anode were also tested. These [[Lithium-ion battery|lithium-ion]] batteries are lightweight, have a compact design, and an improved energy density thanks to the silicon-graphite content.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;nie-20240102&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Chaitanya |first=SV Krishna |date=2 January 2023 |title=ISRO successfully tests fuel cell technology |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2024/jan/02/isro-successfully-tests-fuel-cell-technology-2647044.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240103040856/https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2024/jan/02/isro-successfully-tests-fuel-cell-technology-2647044.html |archive-date=3 January 2024 |access-date=3 January 2024 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;hindu-20240102&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2 January 2024 |title=ISRO successfully tests Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell on PSLV-C58&#039;s orbital platform POEM3 |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/isro-successfully-tests-polymer-electrolyte-membrane-fuel-cell-on-pslv-c58s-orbital-platform-poem3/article67708743.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240103040856/https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2024/jan/02/isro-successfully-tests-fuel-cell-technology-2647044.html |archive-date=3 January 2024 |access-date=6 January 2024 |work=[[The Hindu]] |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The energy cells have [[Crimped connection|crimped sealing]] based design which reduces the hardware and fabrication costs.

== International collaboration ==&lt;br /&gt;
A Joint Statement of Intent on Human Space Exploration was signed by ISRO and the European Space Agency (ESA) on 7 May 2025, during the Global Space Exploration Conference 2025. It emphasizes [[Low Earth orbit]] (LEO) operations, such as compatibility of docking and rendezvous systems, collaboration in parabolic flight operations, analog missions on Earth, and astronaut training. Both agencies will work together to investigate large-scale space missions in the future. ESA is planning to use BAS with possibility of future visits and research by European astronauts. ESA will assist ISRO in developing the BAS by providing cargo-delivery support.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Marar |first=Anjali |date=2025-05-08 |title=Direct and clear objectives to collaborate with ISRO: ESA chief Josef Aschbacher |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/science/direct-and-clear-objectives-to-collaborate-with-isro-esa-chief-josef-aschbacher-9989487/ |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Tripathi |first=Sibu Kumar |date=2025-05-09 |title=European spacecraft could dock with future Indian space station |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/science/story/european-spacecraft-could-dock-with-future-indian-space-station-2722056-2025-05-09 |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=India Today |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The joint statement expands on past agreements that allowed the two agencies to promote responsible and sustainable space exploration, as well as on the experience of collaborating on [[Axiom Mission 4]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Thakur |first=Aksheev |date=2025-05-09 |title=Euro Space Agency, ISRO ink pact for moon missions |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/india/euro-space-agency-isro-ink-pact-for-moon-missions/ |access-date=2025-05-09 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Discussions are underway between ISRO and ESA, with a preliminary proposal to be established by April 2026.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Tripathi |first=Sibu |date=2025-10-03 |title=European astronauts could live and work on Bharatiya Antariksh Station |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/science/story/european-astronauts-could-live-and-work-on-bharatiya-antariksh-station-2797156-2025-10-03 |access-date=2025-10-05 |website=India Today |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Siyaka is the earliest Paramara ruler known from his own [[Indian copper plate inscriptions|inscriptions]], which have been discovered in present-day [[Gujarat]], and suggest that he was once a feudatory of the [[Rashtrakutas]] of [[Manyakheta]]. After the death of the Rashtrakuta emperor [[Krishna III]], he fought against the new king [[Khottiga]], and sacked the Rashtrakuta capital [[Manyakheta]] in c. 972 CE. This ultimately led to the decline of the Rashtrakutas, and established the Paramaras as a sovereign power.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Siyaka was the son of Vairisimha II.{{sfn|G. P. Yadava|1982|p=37}} The [[Harsola copper plates|Harsola copper-plate inscriptions]] issued by Siyaka are dated 31 January 949. Based on this, it can be inferred that Siyaka must have ascended the Paramara throne sometime before January 949 CE.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|p=75}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Names and titles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his own inscriptions, as well as the inscriptions of his successors [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]] and [[Bhoja]], he is called &amp;quot;Siyaka&amp;quot;. In [[Udaipur, Madhya Pradesh|Udaipur]] &#039;&#039;[[prashasti]]&#039;&#039; inscription (which mentions an earlier king called Siyaka), as well as the [[Arthuna]] inscription, the predecessor of Munja has been called Harsha (or [[Shri]] Harsha-[[deva (Hinduism)|deva]]). Therefore, modern historians also refer to him as Siyaka II to distinguish him from Siyaka I mentioned in the Udaipur inscription; some scholars believe that Siyaka I is a fictional person.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|p=75}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Merutunga, in his &#039;&#039;[[Prabandha-Chintamani]]&#039;&#039;, names the king as Simha-danta-bhata (alternatively Simha-bhata). According to one theory, &amp;quot;Siyaka&amp;quot; is the Prakrit corruption of the Sanskrit &amp;quot;Simhaka&amp;quot;. [[Georg Bühler]] suggested that the full name of the king was Harsha-simha, and both parts of this name were used to refer to him.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|p=75}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time of Siyaka&#039;s ascention to the Paramara throne, the once-powerful [[Gurjara-Pratihara]]s had declined in power, because of attacks from the Rashtrakutas and the [[Chandela]]s. Siyaka&#039;s 949 CE [[Harsola copper plates|Harsola inscriptions]] suggests that he was a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta ruler [[Krishna III]]. However, the same inscription also mentions the high-sounding &#039;&#039;[[Maharajadhiraj]]apati&#039;&#039; as one of Siyaka&#039;s titles. Based on this, K. N. Seth believes that Siyaka&#039;s acceptance of the Rashtrakuta lordship was nominal. Seth also theorizes that Siyaka was originally a Pratihara vassal, but shifted his allegiance to the Rashtrakutas as the Pratihara power declined.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=76-77}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Yogaraja ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inscriptions of Siyaka are the earliest known Paramara inscriptions: they have been discovered in present-day Gujarat, and therefore, it appears that the Paramaras were connected with Gujarat in their early years.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|p=9}} The Harsola inscriptions record Siyaka&#039;s village grants to two [[Nagar Brahmins]], after a victorious campaign against one Yogaraja. The identity of Yogaraja is uncertain: he may have been a [[Chavda dynasty|Chavda]] chief or the [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chalukya]] chief Avantivarman Yogaraja II. Both these rulers were vassals of the [[Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty|Pratiharas]], and Siyaka may have led an expedition against either of them as a Rashtrakuta subordinate. Siyaka issued the grants at the request of the ruler of Khetaka-mandala ([[Kheda]]), who might have been a Rashtrakuta feudatory as well.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=4-5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hunas ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Nava-sahasanka-charita]]&#039;&#039;, an epic poem by the Paramara court poet Padmagupta, states that Siyaka defeated [[Huna people|Huna]] princes, and turned their [[harem]]s into a residence of widows.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|p=79}} The fragmentary [[Jayavarman II (Paramara dynasty)#1258 Modi inscription|Modi inscription]] also corroborates this victory of Siyaka, stating that he ruled the land &amp;quot;sprinkled over by the blood of the Hunas&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Arvind K. Singh|2012|p=16}} This Huna territory was probably located in the north-western part of Malwa. Siyaka might have defeated a successor of the Huna chief Jajjapa, who had been killed by the Chalukya feudatory Balavarman in 9th century.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|p=79}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Chandelas ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Nava-Sahasanka-Charita&#039;&#039; also mentions that Siyaka defeated the lord of Rudapati. This territory appears to be same as &amp;quot;Rodapadi&amp;quot; mentioned in a fragmentary inscription found at [[Vidisha]]; it appears that Rudapati lay on the eastern frontier of the Paramara kingdom. The conquest of Rudapati would have brought Siyaka in conflict with the [[Chandela]] king [[Yashovarman (Chandela dynasty)|Yashovarman]]. A 956 CE Chandela inscription in [[Khajuraho]] states that Yashovarman was the God of death for the Malavas (that is Paramaras, the rulers of Malwa region). Yashovarman extended the Chandela kingdom up to Bhasvat (Vidisha) and Malava river (possibly [[Betwa River|Betwa]]) in the west. Based on these facts, it appears that Siyaka had to face a defeat against the Chandelas.{{sfn|K. C. Jain|1972|p=334}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sack of Manyakheta ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 963 CE, the Rashtrakuta king Krishna III led a second expedition of northern India. The 965 CE and 968 CE inscriptions of his [[Western Ganga dynasty|Western Ganga]] feudatory Marasimha state that their forces destroyed [[Ujjayani]], a major city of the Malwa region. Based on this, historians such as [[Anant Sadashiv Altekar|A. S. Altekar]] theorize that Siyaka had rebelled against the Rashtrakutas, resulting in a military campaign against him. However, K. N. Seth believes that Ujjain was under [[Gurjara-Pratihara]] rule at this time, and Krishna III&#039;s campaign was directed against them: there is no evidence to show that Siyaka rebelled against Krishna III or faced a battle against his forces.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=80-81}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the death of Krishna III in {{Circa|967 CE}}, the Rashtrakuta power started declining.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=76-77}} His successor [[Khottiga Amoghavarsha|Khottiga]], probably wary of the growing Paramara power, fought a battle against Siyaka. The battle was fought at Khalighatta on the banks of the [[Narmada River]]. Khottiga appears to have been the aggressor in this battle, as it was fought closer to the traditional Paramara territory. Siyaka was victorious, although he lost his [[Vagada]] feudatory Kanka (or Chachha) in the battle.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=81-84}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, Siyaka pursued Khottiga&#039;s retreating forces to the Rashtrakuta capital [[Manyakheta]], and sacked that city.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=81-84}} The Udaipur &#039;&#039;prashasti&#039;&#039; states that Siyaka was as fierce as [[garuda]] when he took the wealth of Khottiga in battle. This event happened in 972-973 CE, as suggested by the poet Dhanapala, who states that he wrote &#039;&#039;Paiyalacchi-namamala&#039;&#039; when the lord of Malava was looting Manyakheta.{{sfn|Arvind K. Singh|2012|pp=16-17}} Siyaka&#039;s victory led to the decline of the Rashtrakutas, and the establishment of the Paramaras as a sovereign power in Malwa.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=81-84}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Last years ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At its zenith, Siyaka&#039;s kingdom extended from [[Banswara]] in north to the [[Narmada River]] in south, and from Khetaka-mandala (present-day [[Kheda]] / [[Mahi River]]) in the west to [[Vidisha]] area ([[Betwa River]]) in the east.{{sfn|K. C. Jain|1972|p=335}}{{sfn|Arvind K. Singh|2012|p=17}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Paramara court poet Padmagupta, Siyaka was a [[Rajarshi]] (&amp;quot;king-sage&amp;quot;): he [[sannyasa|retired as an ascetic]], after which he wore clothes made of grass.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=84}} &#039;&#039;Tilaka-Manjari&#039;&#039;, a work composed by Dhanapala (the court poet of Siyaka&#039;s son Munja), suggests that Siyaka was a devotee of the goddess [[Lakshmi]] (&#039;&#039;Sri&#039;&#039;).{{sfn|G. P. Yadava|1982|p=37}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siyaka and his queen Vadaja had two sons: [[Vakpati Munja|Munja-raja]] (alias Vakpati) and [[Sindhuraja|Sindhu-raja]]. Siyaka sacked Manyakheta in c. 972 CE, and his successor Munja&#039;s earliest inscription is dated 974 CE, so Siyaka must have retired or died somewhere between 972 and 974 CE.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=85}}&lt;br /&gt;

Following inscriptions of Siyaka have been discovered. All of these record grants, and are written in [[Sanskrit]] language and [[Nagari script]].{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=3-9}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 949 Harsola copper plates ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Harsola copper plates}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This inscription, issued on 31 January 949 CE, was discovered in the possession of a Visnagar Brahmin of [[Harsol]] in the 20th century. It suggests that Siyaka was a Rashtrakuta feudatory in his early years. It records the grants of two villages to a [[Nagar Brahmin]] father-son duo of Anandpura (identified with [[Vadnagar]]). The villages - Kumbharotaka and Sihaka - are identified with the modern villages of Kamrod and Sika.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=3-5}}The dapaka or the officer-in-charge of registering the grants was a Thakkura named Vishnu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 969 Ahmedabad copper plate ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This fragmentary inscription, issued on 14 October 969 CE, was in the possession of a resident of [[Kheda]] in the early 20th century. He presented it to [[Jinvijay|Muni Jinavijaya]] of Ahmedabad&#039;s Gujarat Puratatva Mandir in 1920.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=8-9}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inscription originally comprised two copper plates, of which only the second one is now available. The inscription records a grant, but the exact nature of this grant cannot be determined from the 10-line second plate. The plate depicts a Garuda (the Paramara royal emblem) in human form, about to strike a snake held in its left arm. Below the Garuda is the [[sign manual]] of the king. The name of the &#039;&#039;dapaka&#039;&#039; (the officer-in-charge of registering the grants) is mentioned as Kaṇhapaika. The same name appears in the 974 CE Dharmapuri grant of Siyaka&#039;s son Munja.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=8-9}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Production ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Srusti&#039;&#039; is based on a true incident that a friend informed him about and marked [[Vinod Prabhakar]]&#039;s foray into the romantic genre from the action genre. The film was produced by P Kumaraswamy, a theatre owner from Hospet and was in production for a year and a half since the film exceeded its budget. &#039;&#039;Srusti&#039;&#039; was shot in many outdoor locations in Bengaluru and the Kalagooru tea estate in Chikkamagaluru.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.nowrunning.com/news/kannada/srushti-based-on-real-life-incident/1663/story.htm|title=&#039;Srushti&#039; based on real-life incident|date=1 November 2004|work=[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]]|via=Nowrunning|access-date=29 November 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
A critic from &#039;&#039;[[Sify]]&#039;&#039; wrote, &amp;quot;Debutant director Basavaraj, an engineering graduate has the adequate stuff but fails to make the film convincing and racy. The highlights of this triangular love story are good cinematography from Surendranath Begur and a few melodious tunes from S. A. Rajkumar&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web | title=Srusthi | website=[[Sify]] | url=http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=13604243&amp;amp;ctid=5&amp;amp;cid=2427 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041221210442/http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=13604243&amp;amp;ctid=5&amp;amp;cid=2427 | archive-date=2004-12-21 | access-date=2025-11-29|author=Moviebuzz}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sharma&#039;s unit was stationed in the [[Kupwara district]] of J&amp;amp;K in 2009 and frequently participated in operations against militants. On March 21, 2009, the security forces decided to conduct a search and destroy operation based on intelligence concerning a militant infiltration attempt in the Kupwara district. Leading the Bravo Assault Team against the militants who were infiltrating the dense Haphruda Forest was Sharma&#039;s responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Attempting to ambush and overwhelm the team, militants opened heavy fire from three directions as the team manoeuvred stealthily through rugged foliage. As a result of the sudden onslaught in the initial burst, four commandos were critically injured. Sharma crawled forward to save his soldiers. Under continuous enemy fire, he pulled two wounded commandos to safety. Recognizing that the militants were trying to sever contact and move, Sharma threw grenades and eliminated two militants. In the process, he received a gunshot injury to his chest. In spite of the serious injury, he persisted in leading the attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the situation escalated and the surviving militants presented an immediate threat to his forces, Sharma took down two additional militants before succumbing to his wounds. In recognition of Sharma&#039;s sacrifice during the Kupwara operation, he received the nation&#039;s top peacetime bravery honour, the [[Ashoka Chakra (military decoration)|Ashok Chakra]], on 26 January 2010.&amp;lt;ref name=Gov&amp;gt;{{citation|url=https://www.honourpoint.in/profile/major-mohit-sharma-ac-sm/|title=Honourpoint &amp;amp;#124; Major Mohit Sharma AC SM|date=21 March 2009 |access-date=26 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180327023414/https://www.honourpoint.in/profile/major-mohit-sharma-ac-sm/|archive-date=27 March 2018|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Jagat Singh Binjal was born to Sada Singh, a peasant and Kishan Kaur, a housemaker in 1893 in Binjal, British India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Revolutionary activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
On November 26, 1914, sixty [[Ghadar Party]] members gathered outside the [[Firozpur Cantonment|Ferozepur Cantonment]]. However, [[Kartar Singh Sarabha]] informed them that British authorities had got wind of their plan. The plan was abandoned, and the Ghadarites dispersed. On their way back to [[Moga district|Moga]], a police party in Ghal Kalan Village intercepted Jagat Singh and other Ghadarites. In the ensuing clash, Bisharat Ali, a police sub-inspector, and Jawala Singh, a Zaildar were killed. The Villagers mistook them for thieves and surrounded them. They ran towards the nearby bushes to hide. Police set on fire the entire area trapping them leading to their arrest. On February 2, 1915, he was tried by Ferozepur Session Judge under sections 149, 302 (for murder of Bisharat Ali), 114, 307, 402, and 399. The judge noted that there were seven charges against him. On 25 March 1915, Jagat Singh was hanged in the Montgomery Jail, along with Bakhshish Singh and Lal Singh. The British did not allow family members to meet him for the last time. He was either buried inside the jail or his death was never revealed to his family members.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Mahotsav |first=Amrit |title=Jagat Singh Binjhal |url=https://amritmahotsav.nic.in/unsung-heroes-detail.htm?4561 |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, Ministry of Culture, Government of India |language=English}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Cheema |first=M.

== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Expand section|November 2025|date=November 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
Kumar is a software engineer who lives in a joint family. All of the marriages in his family have been love marriages for generations. He, however, swears off girls and love because of bad experiences in his childhood and teenage years. One day, he falls in love with Sanjana, a new employee in his office. Unable to convey his feelings, he seeks the help of Mokia (Premji in Telugu), a man who earns a living by helping men impress their lovers. Mokia teaches him to be more assertive and flirtatious. He makes Kumar spread the rumour that Sanjana is seeing her boss, George. As a result, Sanjana stops spending time with George. George then asks her to be his girlfriend, coincidentally when Kumar was planning to confess his love for Sanjana. She accepts, leaving Kumar heartbroken. Mokia then intervenes and breaks up George and Sanjana. Sanjana and Kumar finally get together but Mokia tries to break them apart after he finds out it is his sister (niece in Telugu) he has been helping Kumar with. Then, Kumar admits to Sanjana that he manipulated her feelings but then seeks her forgiveness. Then they get back together, with the acceptance of Mokia who sees Kumar&#039;s true love for Sanjana.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Ventilator&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a 2016 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language [[comedy drama]] film written and directed by [[Rajesh Mapuskar]] and produced by [[Priyanka Chopra]]. The film features an [[ensemble cast]] of more than 100 actors, including [[Ashutosh Gowariker]], [[Jitendra Joshi]], [[Sulbha Arya]], and [[Sukanya Kulkarni]]. It tells the story of the Kamerkar family, whose oldest and most beloved member enters a [[coma]] and is put on a [[medical ventilator]] a few days before the [[Ganesh Chaturthi]] festival celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mapuskar conceived the film after one of his family members was hospitalised and put on a ventilator; he started writing the script after noting the reaction of his family members, trying to treat the difficult situation with humour. On its completion, he approached several producers, who were sceptical and tried to discourage him from making it in Marathi. Later, Chopra accepted it to produce under her production company [[Purple Pebble Pictures]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film was released on 4 November 2016 in [[Maharashtra]] and several other cities in India. &#039;&#039;Ventilator&#039;&#039; received widespread critical acclaim, garnering praise for its direction, screenplay, cast performances, music and its treatment of humour and emotion. Made on a small budget of {{INR}}35 million (US$550,000), the film was a commercial success, earning {{INR}}250 million (US$4 million) at the box office. {{As of|October 2017}}, &#039;&#039;Ventilator&#039;&#039; is the [[List of highest-grossing Indian films#Marathi|10th highest-grossing Marathi film of all time]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ventilator&#039;&#039; won three awards at the [[64th National Film Awards]]; [[National Film Award for Best Director|Best Director]] for Mapuskar, [[National Film Award for Best Editing|Best Editing]] and [[National Film Award for Best Audiography|Best Sound Mixing]]. The film was nominated in 16 categories at the 2017 [[Filmfare Marathi Awards]]; including Best Film, Best Director for Mapuskar, Best Actor for Joshi, Best Supporting Actor for Gowariker and Best Supporting Actress for Kulkarni. It won five categories, including Best Screenplay. The film was remade in [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] in 2018 under [[Ventilator (2018 film)|the same title]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Every year, the Kamerkar family assembles in their ancestral village to celebrate the [[Ganesh Chaturthi]] festival. Three days before the festival, a doyen of the family — the much-loved and respected Gajanan Karmerkar, who is fondly known as Gajju Kaka — passes into a state of [[coma]]. He is placed on life support — a [[medical ventilator]] — in a hospital in [[Mumbai]]. Gajanan&#039;s nephew, Raja Kamerkar, a popular [[Bollywood]] film director, receives this news from his father during a screening of his film starring [[Priyanka Chopra]], who suggests Raja leave for the hospital. Gajju Kaka has been extremely kind to Raja, who is having some issues with his own father. On his way to the hospital, Raja informs everyone, including the family in the village, about the situation. Although his relatives are worried about Gajju Kaka, they are also worried about the upcoming festivities. Gajju Kaka&#039;s death during the festival would mean a period of mourning, spoiling their festive plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of the family members and their neighbours visit Gajju Kaka in the hospital, praying to [[Lord Ganesha]] for his speedy recovery. Gajanan&#039;s wife, Manda, and their son, Prasanna, are happy to see Raja at the hospital, while others are excited about Raja&#039;s upcoming film and his popularity. Raja meets everyone in the hospital, most of whom are occupied with concerns other than Gajju Kaka&#039;s health. Raja is amused by the chaos around the family members and their different attitudes to the situation. Even in this difficult time, Prasanna is busy with political endeavours and his plans to win a competition to prove himself to his boss. Meanwhile, Pritam, Prassana&#039;s and Raja&#039;s cousin from the village, is on his way with his uncle (Gajju Kaka&#039;s older, unmarried brother), his mother, father, wife, and other relatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prasanna has a dysfunctional relationship with his father, Gajju Kaka, of which all the family members are aware. On the contrary, Prasanna&#039;s sister, Sarika, shares a deep relationship with their father. Manda reminds Prasanna that Gajju Kaka had always loved him and that Prasanna should have been there for him. Prasanna&#039;s employer dismisses him and gives his job to his assistant. The family from the village arrives, only to be shocked to learn about the ventilator and that Gajju Kaka will always depend on it. Prasanna decides to keep Gajju Kaka on the ventilator until the following afternoon and the family understands. Raja, who had problems with his own father, requests Prasanna to visit Gajju Kaka&#039;s and see him for the last time. Prasanna reveals his anger towards his father and how he could not be like &amp;quot;his favourite Raja&amp;quot;, and that Gajju Kaka never understood him and overlooked him in favour of his sister Sarika.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Raja and Prasanna&#039;s cousin, Lata, arrives from the [[United States]] with her husband and their young son. The boy has drawn a [[family tree]], which he presents to the whole family. He enquires Prasanna about his father, and Prasanna informs the child his father never loved him. After overhearing this, Raja&#039;s father and Gajju Kaka&#039;s brother remind Prasanna about all the difficulties Gajju Kaka faced after Prasanna was born with a thin [[nostril]], and contrary to Prasanna&#039;s belief, how much Gajju Kaka loved him. This changes Prassana&#039;s opinion, and he rushes to the ward to order the doctors to let his father remain on the ventilator as he makes peace with Gajanan. He rejoins his mother and sister, and they all embrace each other. This gives confidence to Raja, who tries to bury his misunderstanding with his own father. While still on the ventilator, Gajju Kaka is seen smiling.&amp;lt;!-- , alluding to his recovery. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mapuskar had the idea for the film when a family member was hospitalised and put on a [[medical ventilator]]. According to the director, the word &amp;quot;ventilator&amp;quot; became a part of his daily life and he began to follow the stories of the people undergoing medical treatment.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In an interview with Scroll.in, Mapuskar recalled how relatives of people who were under medical treatment made efforts &amp;quot;to treat life with humour in the face of death. That is how the story was born in my mind, and I began to write it&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; After completing the script, he approached several filmmakers, who thought it was &amp;quot;a great script&amp;quot; but were skeptical of producing it. He revealed that these people tried to discourage him from making it in [[Marathi cinema|Marathi]], since his debut film &#039;&#039;[[Ferrari Ki Sawaari]]&#039;&#039; (2013) was in Hindi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; They thought going from Hindi to Marathi would be a downgrade. However, he was confident the film would be a Marathi production. He said &amp;quot;It makes economic sense to make the film in Marathi, where better scripts are accepted and projects are wrapped up in record time&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, Priyanka Chopra set up Purple Pebble Pictures and was looking for content-driven, regional cinema scripts. After reading the script, Chopra was impressed and immediately agreed to produce the film under her production company.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; She said, &amp;quot;It&#039;s one single moment that defines the best of the film. It is funny, ironical and a deeply moving tale that will leave you laughing and crying. I am very lucky to have such a talented collection of actors coming together for my debut Marathi production.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;watch&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Rajesh Mapuskar believed that having Chopra as producer helped to create a larger market for the film.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; When the director approached [[Ashutosh Gowariker]] with the script, he assumed Mapuskar wanted him to produce the film. However, despite liking the script, he declined after learning that he wanted Gowariker to act. Gowariker, who had last acted in a film 18 years earlier, was shocked at the idea of returning to acting.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mid-day.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ashutosh-gowariker-acting-comeback-18-years-ventilator-priyanka-chopra-rajesh-mapuskar-marathi-film/17705182|title=The reluctant comeback: Ashutosh Gowariker talks about returning to acting after 18 years with &#039;Ventilator&#039;|last=Maskeen|first=Anju|work=[[Mid-Day]]|date=23 October 2016|access-date=21 October 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109083748/http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ashutosh-gowariker-acting-comeback-18-years-ventilator-priyanka-chopra-rajesh-mapuskar-marathi-film/17705182|archive-date=9 November 2016|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was also busy with his own directorial venture. After six months, Rajesh Mapuskar approached him again; Gowariker insisted on an audition so he could be rejected. He finally agreed after getting a phone call from Chopra, who insisted he do the film.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mid-day.com&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Meri Jung&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;abbr&amp;gt;transl.&amp;lt;/abbr&amp;gt; My War) is a 1985 Indian Hindi movie produced by N N Sippy and directed by [[Subhash Ghai]]. The film stars [[Anil Kapoor]], [[Meenakshi Sheshadri]], [[Nutan]], [[Amrish Puri]], [[Javed Jaffrey]] (in his debut film), [[A. K. Hangal]], [[Iftekhar]], [[Kushboo]] and [[Parikshat Sahni]]. The films music is by [[Laxmikant Pyarelal]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The story begins with a happy lower-middle-class family – Arun Verma([[Anil Kapoor]]) an 8-year-old boy, his sister Komal Verma ([[Kushboo Sundar|Khushboo]]) a 5-year-old girl, his mother, Aarti Verma ([[Nutan]]) and his father, Deepak Verma ([[Girish Karnad]]) – living a peaceful life. Arun&#039;s parents teach their children through the famous title song &amp;quot;Zindagi Har Kadam Ek Nayi Jung Hai, Jeet Jayenge Hum, Jeet Jayenge Hum Tu Agar Sang Hai&amp;quot; which means that life is full of problems at every step and still we will overcome all these if we are together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deepak Verma is trapped in a murder case. A famous criminal lawyer G.D. Thakral ([[Amrish Puri]]) proves him guilty, and he is sentenced to be hanged by the court. Pleas by Arun&#039;s mother fail to convince Thakral to be truthful and spare her husband. Thakral asks her to give evidence for his innocence, to which she sadly quotes &amp;quot;Jiske paas koi sabut, koi gavanh nahi hote kya we begunah nahin hote&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;one who does not have any proof or witness of innocence, are they not innocent?&amp;quot;). Thakral was adamant to let her husband be hanged. He was hanged as per court&#039;s decision. His mother becomes mentally unstable from shock and is sent to a mental institution. Later Advocate Gupta ([[A.K. Hangal]]), the lawyer who defended Arun&#039;s father, finds out that Thakral had known all along that he was innocent, but only wanted him to be hanged. Arun finds out that Thakral abused the law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arun&#039;s house and all his property is auctioned off by the court. Arun and his sister are not offered help. He grows up with the seeds of revenge in his heart. He becomes a successful defence lawyer and keenly follows every case of Thakral so that some day he can stand up in court against the unbeaten Thakral and beat him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day Geeta Srivatsav ([[Meenakshi]]) comes to him and asks him to fight the case of her sister, Dr. Asha Mathur ([[Beena Banerjee]]) who is accused of killing a patient on duty with her medicine, which she gave from her purse. Arun refuses saying that if she can produce even an iota of evidence of her sister being innocent he will fight for her. Geeta replies coincidentally the same sentence &amp;quot;Jiske paas koi sabut, koi gavanh nahi hote kya we begunah nahin hote.&amp;quot; Arun is instantly reminded of his mother&#039;s pleadings before Thakral. Geeta storms out of his office, but Arun is convinced to take the case. He meets Asha Mathur in police custody. He learns from her that on that fateful night she got a call from her ward assistant that her patient is in the ICU and needs her. She stops on the way (due to a traffic jam), and she impatiently moves out of car her to ask the reason. Meanwhile, somebody replaces the medicine bottle with the look-alike bottle of poison from her purse. On arrival in the hospital, she gives the liquid from that bottle to stabilise the patient. This resulted in the patient&#039;s death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is shown that Asha Mathur&#039;s husband, Dr. Dinesh Mathur ([[Parikshat Sahni]]), had gone to meet Thakral and had asked him to fight his wife&#039;s case. Thakral says no claiming he is very busy at the moment but later tells his assistant that there is no way that this case could be won. Arun meets Dinesh Mathur and informs him that he will fight the case. He asked him about the nature of poison and for how long a person can sustain the poison; he learns that poison if might result in death within 2 to 15 minutes depending on the body resistance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The case begins with the prosecution lawyer recounting the events of that fateful day and telling that the medicine given to the patient was actually poison. Arun defends the case says that the patient did not die of this medicine. To prove himself right he drinks the medicine in court and refutes the claim. The court declares Geeta&#039;s sister innocent. Just after the judgement Dr. Mathur rushes Arun to hospital. It is revealed that the medicine contained poison, and Arun is saved in the nick of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Mathur wants to appreciate and compensate Arun for the risky effort he took to save his wife. He calls him for a get-together in his mansion. Dr. Mathur gives Arun a blank cheque. Arun rejects the offers politely and says he did for his self-satisfaction. He then finds the same piano with the sticker of Bhagwat Geeta of Krishna which his father used to play and was auctioned. His memories are refreshed again and with the emotional request he tells Dr. Mathur that this piano is very significant to him and asks for it. Dr. Mathur very happily gives the piano and asks him the reason for accepting this small fees. He tells the Mathur family his tragic story. He says that his mother was never seen after his father&#039;s death, and he assumes that she is dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geeta calls Arun on a beach to appreciate his efforts and kindness at the canteen. They both fall in love. Thakral&#039;s son Vikram Thakral ([[Javed Jaffrey]]), a spoilt brat, not knowing anything about Arun, teases Geeta, which irritates the couple. Soon things take an ugly turn and Arun beats up Vikram.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Mathur sees a photo of his mother hanging in the wall. She immediately recognises the face with the patient she is handling for mental disorders. Arun and his sister request them to take to her. In the mental hospital they see their mother. Her memories had stopped on the day of the incident; she feels that their children are eight and five, staying with father. Arun brings her mother to his house and tries to make her come back to normal; she resumes her memory on hearing the song &amp;quot;Zindagi Har Kadam...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vikram plans to trap Arun&#039;s sister Komal and learns she studies in the same college to exact revenge. He tries to impress her by his charms, dancing skills, and ways of flattering people. The plan works. Komal falls for him and he convinces her to run away with him (so that he can publicly defame Arun by leaving his sister). At the planned moment, when one of Vikram&#039;s ex-girlfriends, Indu Gupta, shows up and tells Komal of Vikram&#039;s evil intentions. In the ensuing argument, Vikram murders Indu which is witnessed by the Dr. Mathur&#039;s family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arun had been waiting for this moment to take revenge on Thakral. He steps in as the prosecutor against Thakral who is defending his son. The case moves to and fro and, in the end, Arun has the upper hand. Thakral kidnaps Arun&#039;s mother and attempts to blackmail him. Arun goes to save his mother and is beaten up by Thakral&#039;s goons. Even though injured, Arun fights back. In an attempt to shoot Arun, Thakral shoots his friend&#039;s son and is jailed. He is unsuccessful in saving his son, who is given the death penalty. Thakral becomes a mentally unstable person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arun and his family are happy again and sing the famous &amp;quot;Zindagi Har Kadam Ek Nayi Jung Hai&amp;quot; song.&lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
The film was simultaneously made in Hindi as &#039;&#039;Godhuli&#039;&#039;. The casting was different in both languages. The Kannada version has Maanu as the foreign-returned hero, while Kulbhushan Kharbanda portrayed the role in Hindi. For the role of Yengta, Sundar Raja was chosen for Kannada and Om Puri for Hindi. The role of the village priest was initially assigned to two different people however due to a last minute difficulty about the availability of the Kannada actor, Naseerudin Shah did the role in both languages.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IT&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Batra |first=Bindu |date=31 March 1977 |title=Tabbiliyu Neenade Magane: Confrontation between East and West |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-and-the-arts/films/story/19770331-tabbiliyu-neenade-magane-confrontation-between-east-and-west-823630-2014-08-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230724155833/https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-and-the-arts/films/story/19770331-tabbiliyu-neenade-magane-confrontation-between-east-and-west-823630-2014-08-01 |archive-date=24 July 2023 |access-date=24 July 2023 |website=[[India Today]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Ramesan Nair is a Kerala [[Kerala Government Secretariat|government secretariat]] official, cocooned in his own small and happy world. An honest and sincere man, Ramesan&#039;s family consists of his loving wife Lekha, son Manu who is a plus-two student, and daughter Manju, a primary school student. His biggest ambition is to see his son becoming an IAS ([[Indian Administrative Service]]) officer, something he himself had failed to achieve despite being a brilliant student. Manu is a very loving son and an intelligent student who shares a strong emotional bond with his father.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://ratheesh.livejournal.com/225772.html|title=Thanmathra, a brilliant script|publisher=[[LiveJournal]]|access-date=19 July 2011|archive-date=27 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327213629/http://ratheesh.livejournal.com/225772.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ramesan starts to develop problems with his [[memory]]. What starts as commonplace omissions and absentmindedness, quickly grows into handicapping cognitive and behavioral impairments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first time we notice this is when Ramesan misplaces a very important office file at his home, inside the [[refrigerator]]. One day he arrives in office after buying a bag of vegetables and starts behaving as if he had reached home after his office hours. He begins acting strangely in the office, as if he has lost his sense of time and place. He is taken to the doctor by his family and close friend, Joseph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the hospital, Ramesan is diagnosed with [[Familial Alzheimer&#039;s disease|Early onset Alzheimer&#039;s disease]], a disease which causes a gradual loss of memory and cognitive abilities. The news comes as a huge shock for the happy family and turns their world upside down. The family is devastated by the sad news, but tries to adjust to the situation with a lot of determination underscored by strong emotional bonds. How they cope up with the trauma, insecurity and uncertainty caused by Ramesan&#039;s plight, forms the gist of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
B S Srivani from &#039;&#039;[[Deccan Herald]]&#039;&#039; wrote &amp;quot;The artwork and background score also add to the mood. Dialogues, co-written by J M Prahlad and the director himself, sometimes do stray towards turning preachy, but that’s it. &#039;&#039;Prarthane&#039;&#039; is a bold film in times of wanton neglect of legacies built with blood and sweat. Will those concerned hear this prayer though?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/217348/prarthane.html|title=Prarthane|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=7 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A critic from [[News18 India]] wrote &amp;quot;Veera Samarth gives a good background score for the film and the song &amp;quot;Jayabharathi&amp;quot; is soothing to ears. Camera work is average. &#039;&#039;Prarthane&#039;&#039; is a really good attempt and deserves to be encouraged&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/kannada-review-prarthane-is-a-must-watch-435378.html|title=Kannada Review: &#039;Prarthane&#039; is a must watch|work=[[News18 India]]|date=8 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote  &amp;quot;Sudha Murty makes a disastrous film debut. Her plea for Kannada medium schools, that forms part of the climax, is nothing short of a histrionic equivalent of hara-kiri. Unable to dub fluently, she makes a mess of her role. The main problem of the film is a weak script and even the background score which, at some places, sounds like the ‘bits’ inserted in seedy morning shows&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/prarthane-a-miserable-mans-story/articleshow/21443688.cms|title=Prarthane: A miserable man&#039;s story|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=6 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Performances and technical presentation contributed to its reception among audiences who favor crime and suspense-oriented commercial cinema.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehansindia.com/cinema/tollywood/zamana-a-slick-gripping-crime-thriller-1043845|title=Zamana: A slick, gripping crime thriller|first=Suhas|last=Sistu|date=30 January 2026|website=www.thehansindia.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TA Kiran Kumar of &#039;&#039;[[Zee News Telugu]]&#039;&#039; said &amp;quot;The film presents a visually energetic tone with a stylized approach. Interpersonal tensions between the lead characters drive parts of the narrative, while supporting roles remain underdeveloped and offer limited impact.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/telugu/no-rev/zamana-telugu-movie-review-rating-public-talk-full-movie-details-ta-284325|title=Zamana Movie Review: జమానా మూవీ రివ్యూ..! మెప్పించిందా..!|language=Telugu|trans-title=Zamana Movie Review|date=30 January 2026|website=Zee News Telugu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sunil Boddula from [[News18 Telugu]] rated the film 2.75/5 stars and said &amp;quot;The director presents the narrative in a linear manner from start to finish. The post-interval portion maintains momentum with a series of impactful sequences, appealing to viewers who prefer fast-paced thriller films.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://telugu.news18.com/news/movies/hero-surya-srinivas-jamana-movie-review-and-rating-slb-3028558.html|title=Hero Surya Srinivas Zamana Movie Review|language=Telugu|trans-title=Hero Surya Srinivas Zamana Movie Review|date=30 January 2026|website=News18.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Critical reception==&lt;br /&gt;

But a lazy and rather uninterested narrative takes away the pleasure.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/chef-movie-review-saif-ali-khan-film-is-a-bland-dish/story-HfSAarZ5rTi8tJWL2LePbO.html |title=Chef movie review: Saif Ali Khan film is a bland dish |newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]]}}{{Rating|1.5|5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sukanya Verma of [[Rediff.com]] gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and said that, &amp;quot;In a premise begging for food porn, there&#039;s a shocking scarcity of sensory pleasure or vision. &#039;&#039;Chef&#039;&#039; is too dull to be delicious.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-chef-is-too-dull-to-be-delicious/20171006.htm |title=Review: Chef is too dull to be delicious |publisher=[[Rediff]]}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Shubhra Gupta of &#039;&#039;[[The Indian Express]]&#039;&#039; rated it 2 out of 5 and said that, &amp;quot;Saif Ali Khan&#039;s film has some interesting flavours. But &#039;&#039;Chef&#039;&#039; feels derivative, and is a late coming of age tale of [[Peter Pan (character)|Peter-Pan]]-like adults. And that&#039;s got to do with the uneven writing. It is a good-looking film, with good-looking people only.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/chef-movie-review-saif-ali-khan-star-rating-4875927/ |title=Chef movie review: This Saif Ali Khan film doesn&#039;t come together as a fully satisfactory dish |newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]}}{{Rating|2|5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Rajeev Masand]] awarded the film 2.5 out of 5, saying that, &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Chef&#039;&#039; isn&#039;t perfect; it lags in places, offers quick-fix solutions to characters’ problems, and feels wholly familiar. But at a little over two hours, it doesn&#039;t ask much of you, and offers some pleasure in Saif Ali Khan&#039;s return to form as an actor hard to look away from.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rajeevmasand.com/reviews/our-films/half-cooked/ |title=Chef Movie Review – Half cooked! |publisher=[[Rajeev Masand]]}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early years and personal life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Prabha Varma was born in 1959 at [[Kadapra]], Thiruvalla as the youngest son of late T. K. Narayanan Namboothiri and late N. Pankajakshi Thampuratty. He had four siblings - two brothers and two sisters. Varma has a master&#039;s degree and a degree in law. He studied at the Devaswom Board College, Parumala, [[NSS Hindu College, Changanassery]], and [[Kerala Law Academy Law College|Kerala Law Academy Law College, Trivandrum]]. He was a student activist and was elected to the executive of the Kerala University Union during the academic year of 1979–80. Varma&#039;s family comprises Manorema (wife), Jyotsna (daughter), Col. K.V Mahendra (son-in-law) and Jahnavi (Grand Daughter).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
===Literary career===&lt;br /&gt;
Varma&#039;s first collection of poems was &#039;&#039;Sourparnika&#039;&#039;, published in 1990. It won him the Vyloppilli Award and also the Ankanam Award. His second anthology &#039;&#039;Arkkapoornima&#039;&#039; won the [[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Poetry]]. This was followed by poetical collections like &#039;&#039;Chandananazhi, Aaardram, Kalaprayaga, Avicharitham, Manjinotu Veyil Enna Poleyum,  Aparigraham&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Ponnin Kolus&#039;&#039;. He has also published collections of his poems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His magnum opus &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039; is a novel in verse (&#039;&#039;kaavyakhyayika&#039;&#039;) in 15 chapters.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shyama Madhavam The Hindu&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Meena T. Pillai |title=Lament of a mortal god |url=https://www.thehindu.com/books/books-reviews/Shyama-Madhavam-Prabha-Varma%E2%80%99s-novel-in-verse-is-an-interesting-poetic-suffix-to-the-Gita/article17352811.ece |access-date=3 February 2023 |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=24 February 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It revolves around Lord Krishna and the lives of those who came across him during his earthly sojourn, which the poet says is not a series of ecstasies as many believe, but agonies.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shyama Madhavam The Hindu&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Shyama Madhavam gets a Sanskrit version |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Thiruvananthapuram/shyama-madhavam-gets-a-sanskrit-version/article23404125.ece |access-date=4 February 2023 |work=The Hindu |date=31 March 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It portrays the travails of a solitary soul and the rare courage with which Krishna deals with life. The work begins in a dramatically poignant and pensive mood and culminates in his &#039;&#039;swargaarohana&#039;&#039;, between which he lapses into a series of confessions and repentance. &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039; offers a wide spectrum of Chhandas, Alankaaras and metric patterns such as Dandakas on the one hand and brings out the genuine concern of the lonely inner voice of the legendary hero against the backdrop of changing times. Varma received the [[Vayalar Award]] (2013), Malayattoor Award (2013) and the [[Sahitya Akademi Award|Central Sahitya Akademi Award]]  for this work.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Rohini Swamy |title=Kerala poet accused of calling Lord Krishna &#039;immoral with no conscience&#039; gets award, sparks row |url=https://theprint.in/india/lord-krishna-immoral-with-no-conscience-award-to-kerala-poet-who-wrote-this-triggers-row/372756/ |access-date=4 February 2023 |work=The Print |date=28 February 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039; was adjudged as the best book of the decade by the Kerala State Library Council in the year 2020. &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039; has been published in English with the title &#039;&#039;Lament of the Dusky Lord&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Varma&#039;s other work is &#039;&#039;Kanal Chilambu,&#039;&#039; which is a novella in verse. The story, told in seven chapters of around five thousand words, is about love, lust, intrigue, power, revenge and incest. In short, all the elements that go into the making of tragedies are in full play here. Most importantly, this poignant story of love and revenge answers an age-old riddle that posits the question: &amp;quot;why did the milkmaid laugh when her earthen pot of milk fell to doom?&amp;quot; This is the second narrative poem written by Prabha Varma after &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039;. The professional drama based on &#039;&#039;Kanal Chilambu&#039;&#039; was staged on more than 500 stages all over Kerala. &#039;&#039;Shyama Madhavam&#039;&#039; was also repeatedly staged as a musical drama. The English version of &#039;&#039;Kanal Chilambu&#039;&#039; has been published with the title &amp;quot;Anklet of Fire&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third novel in verse is &#039;&#039;Roudra Sathwikam,&#039;&#039; which deals with the perennial conflict that exists between art and power.

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|American scholar (born 1945)}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{About|the scholar of Old English||John Niles (disambiguation){{!}}John Niles}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;John D. Niles&#039;&#039;&#039; (born 1945) is an American scholar of medieval English literature best known for his work on &#039;&#039;[[Beowulf]]&#039;&#039; and the theory of [[oral literature]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
A graduate of the [[University of California, Berkeley]], where he received his higher degrees (BA in English, 1967; PhD in Comparative Literature, 1972), Niles taught for an initial four years as Assistant Professor of English at [[Brandeis University]]. He then was invited to join the faculty of the Department of English at the University of California, Berkeley, where he remained for 26 years until taking early retirement. In 2001, he joined the faculty of the [[University of Wisconsin–Madison]], where he taught for 10 years in the Department of English, was named the Frederic G. Cassidy Professor of Humanities, and was a Senior Fellow at the UW Institute for the Humanities. After his retirement from UW-Madison in 2011, he has remained active in research as Professor Emeritus at both UC Berkeley and UW-Madison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Niles is the author of nine books on Old English literature and related topics. He has edited or co-edited another eight books, in addition to upwards of sixty scholarly articles and other publications. His first book, &#039;&#039;Beowulf: The Poem and Its Tradition&#039;&#039; (1983), ascribes the poem&#039;s strengths to its grounding in [[Germanic heroic legend]] and the oral traditions of [[alliterative verse]] cultivated in early medieval England.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Niles |first=John D. |url=https://archive.org/details/beowulfpoemitstr0000nile_u1s2?q=%22eric+monnin%22 |title=Beowulf: The Poem and Its Tradition |date=1983 |publisher=Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-674-06725-7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 1980s, he conducted fieldwork into singing and storytelling traditions in [[Scotland]], particularly among [[Scottish Romani and Traveller groups|Scottish Traveller]] groups, including the noted storyteller [[Duncan Williamson]]. This research led first to his book &#039;&#039;Homo Narrans: The Poetics and Anthropology of Oral Literature&#039;&#039; (1997)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/56/monograph/book/673 |title=Homo Narrans: The Poetics and Anthropology of Oral Literature |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |year=2010 |isbn=9780812202953}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which argues for [[storytelling]] as a defining characteristic of the human species, and later to his book &#039;&#039;Webspinner: Songs, Stories and Reflections of Duncan Williamson, Scottish Traveller&#039;&#039; (2022), a portrait of a single gifted tradition-bearer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Shaw |first=John |date=2025-02-03 |title=Webspinner: Songs, stories, and reflections of Duncan Williamson, Scottish Traveller, by John D.

This became the kernel of his 2015 book &#039;&#039;The Idea of Anglo-Saxon England 1066-1901&#039;&#039;, a sustained account of the evolution of the study of [[Old English literature]], the [[Old English]] language, and the [[Anglo-Saxons]] from the early Middle Ages to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=The Idea of Anglo–Saxon England 1066–1901 - Niles John D. {{!}} Libro Wiley-Blackwell 09/2026 - HOEPLI.it |url=https://www.hoepli.it/libro/the-idea-of-anglosaxon-england-10661901/9781119071242.html |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=www.hoepli.it |language=it}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Porck |first=Thijs |date=2016 |title=[Review of] J.

&lt;br /&gt;
His researches into the archaeology and prehistory of early Northwest Europe led to the jointly-authored publication &#039;&#039;Beowulf and Lejre&#039;&#039; (2007), which centers on the prehistoric Danish site at the present-day hamlet of [[Lejre]], Zealand, where much of the imagined action of the Old English poem &#039;&#039;[[Beowulf]]&#039;&#039; is set.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=RI OPAC: Authors |url=https://opac.regesta-imperii.de/lang_en/autoren.php?name=Niles,+John+D. |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=opac.regesta-imperii.de |language=de}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Niles argues that the origins of the &#039;&#039;Beowulf&#039;&#039; story can be traced to the topography and [[legend]]s associated with this monumental landscape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His 2019 book &#039;&#039;God’s Exiles and English Verse: On the Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry&#039;&#039; is the first integrative book-length critical study of the earliest anthology of English-language poetry, the [[Exeter Book]], a late-tenth-century collection that includes such Old English poems as [[The Wanderer (Old English poem)|&#039;&#039;The Wanderer&#039;&#039;]] and [[The Seafarer (poem)|&#039;&#039;The Seafarer&#039;&#039;]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Matto |first=Michael |date=2020-06-20 |title=John D.

{{Conservation status}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;threatened species&#039;&#039;&#039; is any [[species]] (including [[animal]]s, [[plant]]s and [[fungus|fungi]]) which is vulnerable to [[extinction]] in the near future. Species that are threatened are sometimes characterised by the [[population dynamics]] measure of &#039;&#039;[[critical depensation]]&#039;&#039;, a mathematical measure of [[biomass]] related to [[population growth rate]]. This quantitative metric is one method of evaluating the degree of endangerment without direct reference to human activity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Liermann|first=Martin|year=2001|title=Depensation: evidence, models and implications|url=http://www.seaturtle.org/PDF/LiermannM_2001_FishFish.pdf|journal=Fish and Fisheries|volume=2|issue=1 |pages=33–58|doi=10.1046/j.1467-2979.2001.00029.x|bibcode=2001AqFF....2...33L }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==IUCN definition==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) is the foremost authority on threatened species, and treats threatened species not as a single category, but as a group of three categories, depending on the degree to which they are threatened:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Guidelines for Using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, version 15.1|date=July 2022|author=IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee|url=https://www.iucnredlist.org/documents/RedListGuidelines.pdf|publisher=International Union for Conservation of Nature|access-date=2 January 2023}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|8–11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Vulnerable species]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Endangered species]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Critically endangered species]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less-than-threatened categories are [[near threatened]], [[least concern]], and the no longer assigned category of [[conservation dependent]]. Species that have not been evaluated (NE), or do not have sufficient data ([[data deficient]]) also are not considered &amp;quot;threatened&amp;quot; by the IUCN.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Status iucn3.1 threatened.svg|thumb|left|The three categories of the threatened species on [[IUCN Red List]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although &#039;&#039;threatened&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;vulnerable&#039;&#039; may be used interchangeably when discussing IUCN categories, the term &#039;&#039;threatened&#039;&#039; is generally used to refer to the three categories (critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable), while &#039;&#039;vulnerable&#039;&#039; is used to refer to the least at risk of those three categories. They may be used interchangeably in most contexts however, as all vulnerable species are threatened species (&#039;&#039;vulnerable&#039;&#039; is a category of &#039;&#039;threatened species&#039;&#039;); and, as the more at-risk categories of threatened species (namely &#039;&#039;endangered&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;critically endangered&#039;&#039;) must, by definition, also qualify as vulnerable species, all threatened species may also be considered vulnerable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Threatened species are also referred to as a [[red-listed]] species, as they are listed in the [[IUCN Red List|IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Subspecies]], populations and stocks may also be classified as threatened.&lt;br /&gt;

===Australia===&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|Threatened fauna of Australia|List of threatened flora of Australia}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Federal====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Commonwealth of Australia]] (federal government) has legislation for categorising and protecting endangered species, namely the &#039;&#039;[[Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999]]&#039;&#039;, which is known in short as the &#039;&#039;EPBC Act&#039;&#039;. This Act has six categories: extinct, extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, and conservation dependent, as defined in Section 179 of the Act.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/species.html#categories |title=Threatened species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999|publisher=Australian Government.

*&amp;quot;Extinct&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;no reasonable doubt that the last member of the species has died&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Extinct in the wild&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;known only to survive in cultivation&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;despite exhaustive surveys&amp;quot; has not been seen in the wild;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Critically endangered&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Endangered&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Vulnerable&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;high risk of extinction in the wild in medium-term future&amp;quot;; and&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Conservation dependent&amp;quot; – &amp;quot;focus of a specific conservation program&amp;quot; without which the species would enter one of the above categories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;EPBC Act&#039;&#039; also recognises and protects threatened ecosystems such as plant communities, and [[Ramsar Convention]] wetlands used by [[migratory bird]]s.&amp;lt;ref name=epbc/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lists of threatened species are drawn up under the Act and these lists are the primary reference to threatened species in Australia. The &#039;&#039;Species Profile and Threats Database&#039;&#039; (SPRAT) is a searchable [[online database]] about species and ecological communities listed under the &#039;&#039;EPBC Act&#039;&#039;.

A &#039;&#039;Threatened Mammal Index&#039;&#039;, publicly launched on 22 April 2020 and combined {{as of|lc=yes|June 2020}} with the &#039;&#039;Threatened Bird Index&#039;&#039; (created 2018&amp;lt;ref name=tmiabc/&amp;gt;) as the &#039;&#039;Threatened Species Index&#039;&#039;, is a research collaboration of the National Environmental Science Program&#039;s Threatened Species Recovery Hub, the [[University of Queensland]] and [[BirdLife Australia]]. It does not show detailed data of individual species, but shows overall trends, and the data can be downloaded via a [[web-app]] &amp;quot;to allow trends for different taxonomic groups or regions to be explored and compared&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=tsxabout&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=About – TSX | website=TSX – A threatened species index for Australia | date=20 May 2020 | url=https://tsx.org.au/about/ | access-date=28 June 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Index uses [[data visualisation]] tools to show data clearly in graphic form, including a graph from 1985 to present of the main index, geographical representation, monitoring consistency and time series and species accumulation.&amp;lt;ref name=tsx&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=Australian Threatened Species Index | website=Threatened Species Recovery Hub | url=https://tsx.org.au/tsx/#/ | access-date=28 June 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In April 2020 the Mammal Index reported that there had been a decline of more than a third of threatened mammal numbers in the 20 years between 1995 and 2016, but the data also show that targeted conservation efforts are working.

====States and territories====&lt;br /&gt;
{{further|Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999#State acts}}&lt;br /&gt;
Individual [[states and territories of Australia]] are bound under the EPBC Act, but may also have legislation which gives further protection to certain species, for example [[Western Australia]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Wildlife Conservation Act 1950]]&#039;&#039;.  Some species, such as [[Lewin&#039;s rail]] (&#039;&#039;Lewinia pectoralis&#039;&#039;), are not listed as threatened species under the EPBC Act, but they may be recognised as threatened by individual states or territories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests and weeds, [[climate change]] and habitat loss are some of the key threatening processes faced by native plants and animals listed by the [[Department of Planning, Industry and Environment]] of [[New South Wales]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web  | title=Key threatening processes | website=NSW Government.

The [[Germany|German]] [[Federal Agency for Nature Conservation]] ({{langx|de|Bundesamt für Naturschutz}}, BfN) publishes a regional Red List for Germany of at least 48000 animals and 24000 plants and fungi. The scheme for categorization is similar to that of the IUCN, but adds a &amp;quot;warning list&amp;quot;, includes species endangered to an unknown extent, and rare species that are not endangered, but are highly at risk of extinction due to the small population.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=BfN: Rote Liste (Verzeichnis)|periodical=BFN.de|url=https://www.bfn.de/themen/rote-liste.html|access-date=27 December 2019|language=de}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Status ESA LT.svg|left|thumb|&amp;quot;Threatened&amp;quot; in relation to &amp;quot;endangered&amp;quot; under the [[Endangered Species Act|ESA]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Federal====&lt;br /&gt;
Under the [[Endangered Species Act]] in the United States, &amp;quot;threatened&amp;quot; is defined as &amp;quot;any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.fws.gov/endangered/laws-policies/section-3.html|title=Endangered Species Program – Laws &amp;amp; Policies – Endangered Species Act – Section 3 Definitions|first=U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/Endangered Species|last=Program|website=www.fws.gov|access-date=8 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170429155642/https://www.fws.gov/endangered/laws-policies/section-3.html|archive-date=29 April 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is the less protected of the two protected categories. The [[Bay checkerspot butterfly]] (&#039;&#039;Euphydryas editha bayensis&#039;&#039;) is an example of a threatened subspecies protected under the [[Endangered Species Act]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====States====&lt;br /&gt;
Within the U.S., state wildlife agencies have the authority under the ESA to manage species which are considered endangered or threatened within their state but not within all states, and which therefore are not included on the national list of endangered and threatened species.  For example, the [[trumpeter swan]] (&#039;&#039;Cygnus buccinator&#039;&#039;) is threatened in the state of [[Minnesota]], while large populations still remain in [[Canada]] and [[Alaska]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/natural_resources/ets/endlist.pdf|title=Minnesota Endangered &amp;amp; Threatened Species List|website=state.mn.us|access-date=8 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519114000/http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/natural_resources/ets/endlist.pdf|archive-date=19 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
