&#039;&#039;&#039;Al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam ibn Khuwaylid al-Asadi&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Langx|ar|الزُّبَيْر بْن الْعَوَّام بْن خُوَيْلِد الأَسَدِيّ|translit=Al-Zubayr ibn al-ʿAwwām ibn Khuwaylid al-ʾAsadī}}; {{circa|594–656}}) was an [[Arab]] [[Muslim]] commander in the service of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and [[caliph]]s [[Abu Bakr]] ({{reign|632|634}}) and [[Umar]] ({{reign|634|644}}) who played a leading role in the [[Ridda Wars]] against rebel tribes in [[Arabia]] in 632–633 and later participated in the [[early Muslim conquests]] of [[Muslim conquest of Persia|Sasanian Persia]] in 633–634, [[Muslim conquest of the Levant|Byzantine Syria]] in 634–638, and the [[Exarchate of Africa]] in 639–643.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An early convert to [[Islam]], Zubayr was a commander in the [[Battle of Badr]] in 624, in which the latter was instrumental in defeating the opponent forces of the [[Quraysh]]. He participated in almost all of the early Muslim battles and expeditions under Muhammad. In the [[Battle of the Trench]], due to his military service, Muhammad bestowed the title &#039;&#039;Hawari Rasul Allah&#039;&#039; (&#039;Disciple of the Messenger of God&#039;) upon him. After Muhammad&#039;s death, Zubayr was appointed a commander in the Ridda Wars by caliph Abu Bakr. He was involved in the [[Battle of Zhu Qissa#Siege of Medina|defense of Medina]] and the [[Battle of Yamama]]. During Umar&#039;s reign, Zubayr served in the [[Muslim conquest of Egypt|Muslim conquests of Egypt]], [[Muslim conquest of the Levant|Levant]], [[Muslim conquest of Persia|Persia]], [[Muslim conquest of Sudan|Sudan]], and [[Tripolitania]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Umar&#039;s assassination, Zubayr became an important political figure of the caliphate, being the chief advisor of the [[Shura]] that elected the third caliph [[Uthman]]. During the latter&#039;s caliphate, Zubayr advised the caliph on political and religious issues.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;تاريخ بلاد الشام&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; After Uthman was assassinated, Zubayr pledged allegiance to the fourth caliph [[Ali]], though later withdrew allegiance, after Ali refused to avenge Uthman&#039;s death. Zubayr&#039;s forces engaged with Ali&#039;s forces in the [[Battle of the Camel]] in December 656. In the aftermath, while Zubayr was prostrating in prayer, he was killed by [[Amr ibn Jarmouz|Amr ibn Jurmuz]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr is generally considered by historians to be one of early Islam&#039;s most accomplished commanders. The Sunni Islamic tradition credits Zubayr with being &#039;&#039;[[The ten to whom Paradise was promised|promised paradise]]&#039;&#039;. The Shia Islamic tradition views Zubayr negatively. The general&#039;s descendants, known as the [[Zubayrids]], are found worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ancestry and early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
His father was the brother of [[Khadija]], [[Awwam ibn Khuwaylid|Al-Awwam ibn Khuwaylid]] of the Asad clan of the [[Banu Quraysh|Quraysh]] tribe. His mother was Muhammad&#039;s aunt, [[Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib]]. Hence Zubayr was Muhammad&#039;s first cousin and brother-in-law.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Muhammad ibn Saad. &#039;&#039;Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir&#039;&#039; vol. 3. Translated by Bewley, A. (2013). &#039;&#039;The Companions of Badr&#039;&#039;. London: Ta-Ha Publishers.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|75}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr ibn al-Awwam was born in [[Mecca]] in [[594]]. He had two brothers, Sa&#039;ib and Abd al-Kaaba; and two sisters Hind bint Al-Awwam, who would later marry [[Zayd ibn Haritha]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; and Zaynab bint al-Awwam who will mary her paternal cousin [[Hakim ibn Hizam]]. He has also a half-brother, Safi ibn Al-Harith, son of Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib precedent wedding with [[Harb ibn Umayya]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad8&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Muhammad ibn Saad. &#039;&#039;Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir&#039;&#039; vol. 8. Translated by Bewley, A. (1995). &#039;&#039;The Women of Madina&#039;&#039;. London: Ta-Ha Publishers.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|29}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al-Awwam died while Zubayr was still young, the day of Al Ablaa, the third year of the [[Fijar War]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, al-Maʿārif, p. 219. p. 89.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His mother, Safiyya, would beat him severely in order to make him &amp;quot;bold in battle&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|76}} While he was still a boy, Zubayr fought an adult man and beat him up so fiercely that the man&#039;s hand was broken. Safiyya, who was pregnant at the time, had to carry the man home.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|765}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conversion to Islam ===&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr is said to have entered Islam at the age of 16. He was one of the first men to accept Islam under the influence of [[Abu Bakr]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ishaq&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Muhammad ibn Ishaq. &#039;&#039;Sirat Rasul Allah&#039;&#039;. Translated by Guillaume, A. (1955). &#039;&#039;The Life of Muhammad&#039;&#039;.

=== Pledge of the Tree ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Pledge of the Tree}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 628 CE (6 AH), Muhammad set out for Mecca to perform the ritual pilgrimage of [[Umrah]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Biografi Rasulullah Mahdi Rizqullah&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Rizqullah Ahmad|Maftukhin|Basyaruddin|2017|p=29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The Quraysh denied the Muslims entry into the city and posted themselves outside Mecca, determined to offer resistance even though the Muslims did not have any intention or preparation for battle, which caused Muhammad to send [[Uthman ibn Affan]] as his envoy to meet with the leaders of Quraysh and negotiate their entry into the city.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Biografi Rasulullah Mahdi Rizqullah&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The Quraysh had Uthman stay longer in Mecca than they originally planned, which caused Muhammad to believe that Uthman had been killed.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In response, Muhammad gathered his nearly 1,400 Sahaba and called them to pledge to fight until death and avenge the death of Uthman.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; After the pledge, verses were revealed in the [[Qur&#039;an]] commemorating and appreciating the pledge and those who made it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Blockquote|Certainly [[Allah]] was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity on them and rewarded them with a near victory.|[[Sura]] [[Al-Fath]], [[Ayah]] 18|{{Cite quran|48|18|s=r|t=s}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to this verse, the pledge is also known as the &#039;&#039;Pledge of Acceptance&#039;&#039; as it was believed in Islam to be a cause for [[God]]&#039;s blessing towards those who took pledge, including Zubayr,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Biografi Rasulullah Mahdi Rizqullah&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; while at the same day, the ratification of [[treaty of Hudaybiyyah]] also occurred.&lt;br /&gt;

Later, in the year of 27 AH, during the [[Muslim conquest of North Africa]], Zubayr and his son, Abdullah were sent by caliph Uthman as reinforcements for [[Abdallah ibn Sa&#039;d]] when fighting a Byzantine splinter group of about 120,000 under [[Gregory the Patrician]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;تاريخ بلاد الشام&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;معركة سبيطلة سنة 27هـ|trans-title=The Battle of Sufetula in the year 27 AH&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Munir al-Janabaz|type=Dictirate |first1=Muhammad |title=معركة سبيطلة سنة 27هـ|trans-title=The Battle of Sufetula in the year 27 AH |url=https://www.alukah.net/culture/0/117572/ |website=Alukah |access-date=28 December 2021 |language=ar|date=2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During this battle, Zubayr&#039;s son, Abdullah ibn Zubayr, played a pivotal role as he led an attack that caught Gregory off guard when the two forces were still in stalemate, and decapitated the Byzantine general, causing the resistance of the Byzantine army to crumble as their morale plummeted.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;تاريخ بلاد الشام&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Ismail Ali |first1=Ahmad |title=تاريخ بلاد الشام |date=1998|trans-title=History of Sham country |publisher=.ع.إ. علي، |page=151 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YHdtAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9%20%D8%B3%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B7%D9%84%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B1%20%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%85 |access-date=28 December 2021 |language=ar|format=Ebook}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When [[Abdullah ibn Masud]] died, Zubayr petitioned caliph [[Uthman]] to give Abdullah&#039;s pension to his heirs, which was granted by the caliph.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Abdullah ibn Mas&#039;ud pension&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Jasim Janabi |first1=Khalid |title=تنظيمات الجيش العربي الإسلامي في العصر الأموي |trans-title=Organizations of the Islamic Arab Army in the Umayyad Era |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ui65AAAAIAAJ&amp;amp;q=%D8%A8%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%85%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%A9%20%D8%B9%D8%AB%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86%20(%20%D8%B1%D8%B6%20)%20%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%B7%D9%86%D9%8A%20%D8%B9%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%A1 |publisher=the University of California |access-date=7 December 2021 |language=ar|date=1984}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Later, when [[Miqdad ibn al-Aswad al-Kindi|Miqdad ibn al-Aswad]], one of Zubayr&#039;s fellow veterans, died of an illness, Miqdad left a message for Zubayr to manage and sell one of his estates, from which the proceeds would given to [[Hasan ibn Ali]] and [[Husayn ibn Ali]], with each receiving 18,000 dirhams from the endowment, while from the rest he asked Zubayr to give each of [[Muhammad&#039;s wives]] 7,000 dirhams.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Miqdad bin Amr, may God be pleased with him&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Shakir |first1=Mahmud |author1-link=Mahmud Shakir |title=المقداد بن عمرو رضي الله عنه|trans-title=Miqdad bin Amr, may God be pleased with him |date=1985 |publisher=المكتب الاسلامي |url=https://books-library.com/read/1290858597|location=Damascus, Syria; Lebanon |access-date=22 December 2021 |language=ar|quote=Tahdhib Al-Kamal Al-Mazi; Jamal ad-Din Yusuf Hajjaj al-Mazi; Usd al-ghabah fi marifat al-Saḥabah, Ali ibn al-Athir; Siyar a&#039;lam Nubala, Shams ad-Din ad-Dhahabi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Zubayr&#039;s engagement in caliph Uthman&#039;s policy of land exchange resulted in him gaining lands in Egypt, such as [[Fustat]] and Alexandria, in return for lands in Arabia.{{sfn|Ibrahim|2011|p=88}}&lt;br /&gt;

Uthman was [[Siege of Uthman|assassinated]] in 656. Zubayr had reason to hope that he would be elected as the next caliph, although he knew that his old ally Talha was also a strong contender.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Al-Tabari, &#039;&#039;Tarikh al-Rusul wa’l-Muluk&#039;&#039;.

&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr, Talha and Aisha called for Uthman&#039;s death to be avenged, and while Ali agreed, he said that he was not able to do it at the time.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|18}} The allies then gathered an army and marched to [[Basra]], where they defeated the governor and took over the city,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|69–70,76}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Muir, W.

&lt;br /&gt;
According to Adrian Brocket&#039;s translation of Tabari, Ali behaved like a man who suspected hostility towards himself, for he soon entered Basra with a professional army of 20,000.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|121}} For several days, there were negotiations, as both sides asserted they wanted only to see justice done.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|122,129,130,132,152}} But on 7 December 656, hostilities erupted as Aisha&#039;s warriors killed Ali&#039;s messenger-boy, and Ali responded, &amp;quot;Battle is now justified, so fight them!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|126–127}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Ibn Kathir in his book &#039;&#039;al Bidaya wa Nihaya&#039;&#039; recorded a more detailed version that the side of Zubayr, Aisha, and Talha were in the way of agreement with Ali as through negotiation of al-Qa&#039;qa ibn Amr as arbitrator.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Areq Encyclopedia=Zubair ibn Awwam 2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, suddenly [[Abdullah ibn Saba&#039;]], [[Malik al-Ashtar]] and Shuraih ibn Awfa incited a riot within the ranks of Ali&#039;s soldiers during the negotiations, plunging both sides into confusion and thus inciting the start of the combat.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Areq Encyclopedia=Zubair ibn Awwam 2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle started, but according to some traditions at some point Zubayr lost the desire to fight. He said that Ali had talked him out of it during the negotiations on the grounds that they were cousins, and reminding him that Muhammad had once told Zubayr that he would one day fight Ali and he (Zubayr) would be on the wrong side. Zubayr&#039;s son &#039;Abd Allah accused him of fearing Ali&#039;s army. &#039;Abd Allah was hostile to Ali because his mother was Aisha&#039;s sister and she had raised him like her son. In a sermon of his, Ali laments that &#039;Zubayr remained a part of our family until his wretched son Abd Allah came along&#039;. Whatever the case, Zubayr left the battlefield while Aisha continued to direct her troops from her camel. A man named [[Amr ibn Jarmouz]] decided to track Zubayr&#039;s movements and followed him to a nearby field. It was time for prayer so, after each had asked the other what he was doing there, they agreed to pray. While Zubayr was prostrating, Amr ibn Jurmuz stabbed him in the neck and killed him.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tabari16&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|111–112,116,126,158–159}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== In Islamic scholarship ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Further|Majlis-ash-Shura}}&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr is generally viewed by Islamic scholars as an important figure, who collectively classified Zubayr as being among the highest-ranked [[Companions of Muhammad]], due to his inclusion among the ten Muslims to whom Muhammad [[The ten to whom Paradise was promised|guaranteed Paradise]] while they were still alive.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Abu Dawud 40:4632.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tirmidhi #3747&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from his inclusion in the hadith about ten companion who guaranteed paradise, scholars also exalted Zubayr for these six particular events:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* His [[Hegira|migration]] from Mecca to Medina, for their perseverance and willingness to leave worldly possessions in favor of mass migration due to the instruction of Muhammad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Battle of Badr]], at which he won an honorific title of &#039;&#039;Al-Badri&#039;&#039;.{{sfn|al-Dihlawī |1991|p=401}} &lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Battle of Uhud]], for which he received the title of &#039;&#039;Al-Uhudi&#039;&#039;.{{sfn|al-Dihlawī |1991|p=401}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mubarakpuri-Hawari&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* The [[Battle of the Trench]], for which Muhammad himself bestowed upon him the special title of &#039;&#039;Hawari Rasulullah&#039;&#039; for his distinguished service.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Suyuti&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{sfn|Ibn Kathir|2009}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shia]] Muslims generally view Zubayr negatively, as he is considered a heretic for his involvement in the [[Battle of the Camel]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shiite view towards Zubayr&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=The battle of Jamal: Understanding Imam Ali&#039;s stance with the leaders who opposed him |date=2020|url=https://www.almahdi.edu/the-battle-of-jamal-understanding-imam-alis-stance-with-the-leaders-who-opposed-him/ |website=Al-Mahdi Institute |access-date=30 December 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Prayer and ethics ===&lt;br /&gt;

Zubayr established a number of traditions in Islamic prayer and ethics, including a prayer gesture of clasping his right middle, ring, and pinky fingers while pointing the index finger and putting the thumb above the clasped middle finger,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tafsir Shalat Ammi Nur baits&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Nur Baits|2021|p=248 Hadith Riwayat Muslim 1336}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; whether to sit down while eating and drinking,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Fiqih Praktis sehari-hari&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt |Nu&#039;man|2020|p=171, Muwatta Imam Malik, no.3424.

&lt;br /&gt;
As one of principal companions of Muhammad who followed him from the beginning of Islam, many [[hadith]] are attributed to Zubayr.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; However, there are very few hadith from Zubayr in comparison with other companions of Muhammad,{{inconsistent}} as he was reluctant to tell many hadith about Muhammad even though he had been constantly in his company. As he explained to his son Abdullah, &amp;quot;I heard Allah’s Messenger say, ‘Anyone who tells a lie about me should take a seat in the Fire.&#039;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|80}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his exegesis, Zubayr emphasized the importance of &#039;&#039;[[sunnah]]&#039;&#039; and tradition as guidance, as opposed to the more analytical &#039;&#039;[[qiyas]]&#039;&#039; method of [[Ahl al-Ra&#039;y]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Alwani Fiqh methodology2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Alwani|DeLorenzo|Al-Shikh-Ali|2003|p=20}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Thus, [[Sunni Islam]] Madhhab scholars have accepted hadith and exegesis from Zubayr as the source of Islam jurisprudence.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern era, [[Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta]] in [[Saudi Arabia]] used the practice of Zubayr as one of their source of fatawa, such as an act of government to [[Espionage|spying]] any endangering act from [[enemy of the state]], such as criminal behavior, alleged terrorism, and other illegal conduct.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saudi scholars about espionage&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The committee based this ruling of espionage from the act of Zubayr of spying on [[Banu Qurayza]] for their alleged betrayal during the Battle of the Trench on the instruction of Muhammad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saudi scholars about espionage&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Burhanuddin|2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In Egypt, Zubayr&#039;s jurisprudence has had widespread influence, as [[Grand Mufti]] of Egypt, [[Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy]] recorded that due to Zubayr and &#039;Amr ibn al-As&#039;s long stay in Egypt, Muslims in Egypt and [[Faqīh]] scholars of the country base much of their [[fatwa]] and rulings on Zubayr&#039;s verdicts during his tenure in Africa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Tantawi|2008|p=112}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Zubayr was known to be very wealthy as a result of his business career.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|80}} His practice of offering loans with no interest became widespread in the Islamic world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Hasan |first1=Zulkifli |date=2008 |title=Islamic Banking, Takaful and Al Rahnu LCA4562 DR.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Manumission of slaves ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Further|Mawla}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr owned at least a thousand slaves and reportedly freed one each day. Some of his ex-slaves became prominent in their own right, including [[Yarba ibn Rabban Mawla az-Zubayr]], who became a scholar of hadith.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ibn Rabban Mawla azZubayr&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=ibn Sa‘d ibn Manī‘ al-Baṣrī al-Hāshimī |first1=Muḥammad |author-link1=Ibn Sa&#039;d |title=الطبقات الكبرى - 5|date=1979 |trans-title=Major classes volume 5 |page=412 |publisher=IslamKotob |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PbFJCwAAQBAJ |access-date=7 December 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Another slave who gained prominence was [[Abu Yahya Mawla az-Zubayr]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Ibn Hanbal |first1=Ahmad |title=Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal vol 6 |url=http://islamport.com/d/1/mtn/1/89/3412.html |website=islamport.com |publisher=مؤسسة قرطبة - القاهرة |access-date=7 December 2021 |language=ar |archive-date=7 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207183944/http://islamport.com/d/1/mtn/1/89/3412.html |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Daniel Pipes argued that the practice of early Muslims such as Zubayr and Uthman ibn Affan of owning massive number of slaves and casual manumissions was the first indication of [[Mamluk]], an Islamic military slave system.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Slave Soldiers and Islam The Genesis of a Military System2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Pipes |first1=Danie|1981|pp=117–121}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Descendants ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Zubayrids}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr&#039;s status as an early Muslim hero and model of religious piety prompted many ethnic communities across the world to claim themselves as his descendants. particularly in [[Hejaz]] and Egypt. The Zubairi community which dwells in [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] also claims Zubayr as their ancestor, as descendant clans of Zubayr allegedly migrated from their homeland to the Indian subcontinent during the [[Umayyad campaigns in India]] in the 7th century AD.{{sfn|Umar|1998|p=24}}{{sfn|KHWANI|2005}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Zuberi clan2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last1=Zuberi|first1=Najmul Hasan|title=Zuberis|url=http://zuberiassociation.pk/index.php/zuberis/|access-date=10 November 2021|website=Zuberis|publisher=Zuberi association|archive-date=10 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211110120350/http://zuberiassociation.pk/index.php/zuberis/|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The descendants of Zubayr, known as [[Zubayrids]], were influential in [[Iraq]] and [[Iran]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal characteristics ==&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr is described as of medium height, lean, dark-complexioned, and hairy, though with a thin beard. His hair hung down to his shoulders, and he did not dye it after it turned white.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|80}} One report described him as having had blue eyes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, al-Maʿārif, p. 585&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Other reports consider him burly and tall.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Misri; Sirah Sahabah: Zubair bin Awwam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Much of his body was covered with battle scars from his many military engagements.{{sfn|al-Asfahani|2016|p=226}} He was said to possess extraordinary physical strength,{{sfn|Ibn Kathir|2009}} as he was reported of being able to split an adult man body perfectly into two with a single blow of his sword.{{sfn|adh-Dhahabī|2008}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zubayr owned many horses,{{sfn|Lewis|1996|p=59}} and established a high quality pedigree which was bred by his descendants for generations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Horse genealogy&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvtxt|Ibn al-Kalbi|2003|p=35}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He possessed a large number of properties,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Saad3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;{{rp|77}} many slaves,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Slave Soldiers and Islam&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Pipes |first1=Daniel |title=Slave Soldiers and Islam The Genesis of a Military System; al Maqrizi; Mawaiz |date=1981 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=978-0-300-02447-0 |page=141 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ByLG-2hZX-MC |access-date=15 October 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and vast wealth, though he was said to be generous.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sayyid Meerakh Shah Kashani&#039;&#039;&#039; (Urdu: سید میرک شاہ کاشانی; 6 September 1895 – 13 December 1971), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Faqir-i-Milat&#039;&#039;&#039;, was a [[Sufism|Kashmiri Sufi]] poet and spiritual teacher active during the late nineteenth centuries. He was associated with Sufi teaching and community service in Kashmir. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashani was known for his poetry, religious instruction, and spiritual leadership. His teachings addressed themes of devotion, ethics, and spiritual discipline, he attracted follows within Kashmir and beyond. He was regarded by his followers as a respected Sufi saint, and his work influenced aspects of the region&#039;s religious and cultural life. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and education ==&lt;br /&gt;
Mirakh Shah Kashani was born on 6 September 1895 in Saraf Kadal, [[Srinagar]], Jammu and Kashmir, to Sayyid Ahmed Shah Naqash. His mother died when he was two years old, and his father died three years later.

The 12961 / 12962 &#039;&#039;&#039;Avantika Superfast Express&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Express trains in India|superfast express]] train belonging to [[Indian Railways]] that runs between {{stnlnk|Mumbai Central}} and {{stnlnk|Indore Junction}} in India. It is a daily service. It operates as train number 12961 from Mumbai Central to [[Indore]] and as train number 12962 in the reverse direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
When this train was introduced back in 1985 it was called as Bombay–Indore Superfast. Later it was renamed as Avantika Superfast Express.&lt;br /&gt;
For about a couple of years, in mid 1990s, the termination of train was changed from Mumbai Central to Bandra Terminus (A western Suburban terminus station). The order was reversed and from 1998 the train started going up to Mumbai Central.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The name &#039;&#039;&#039;Avantika&#039;&#039;&#039; is from &#039;Avanti&#039;, the former name of [[Ujjain]], a historical city located near Indore. This is one of the two Superfast train connections between Indore and Mumbai, the other train is [[Indore Duronto Express]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2019, it was upgraded to [[LHB coach]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=15 Trains Originating From Indore to be Get LHB coach |url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/15-trains-originating-from-indore-to-be-get-lhb-coaches-4265078.html |access-date=5 September 2022 |publisher=News18 |date=30 Sep 2021 |language=English}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |author=Staff Reporter |title=Indore: Additional coaches will be added to 10 pairs of trains |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/indore/indore-additional-coaches-will-be-added-to-10-pairs-of-trains |access-date=5 September 2022 |publisher=Free Press Journal |date=31 Mar 2022 |language=English}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Lashkari |first1=Milind R |title=Avantika Express to have LHB coach |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/indore/avantika-express-to-have-lhb-coaches/story-ci7soIhok4o4oYwWgQLc8J.html |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=23 Nov 2016 |language=English}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is one of the fastest train on this route and one of the only two trains connecting [[Mumbai Central railway station|MMCT]] to [[Indore Junction railway station|INDB]], the other one being [[Mumbai Central–Indore Duronto Express|Mumbai Indore Duronto Express]] which covers the distance of 829 kilometers in just 11 hours 15 mins (73&amp;amp;nbsp;km/h) due to its premium priority and less stoppages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ahfaz-ur-Rahman&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ur|{{Nastaliq| احفاظُ الرّحمٰن}}}} ) (born 4 April 1942 – 12 April 2020), was a Pakistani journalist, writer and poet. He strived for the [[freedom of the press]] and for the rights of journalists under military dictatorships and even civilian governments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rahman was the author of many books including some on the journalist movement against the military dictatorship of [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq|Zia-ul-Haq]] in Pakistan, collections of articles on international dissidents, and collections of poetry. He also translated several books into Urdu.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tribune.com.pk&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/639048/zinda-hai-zindagi-ahfazur-rahmans-poems-hide-messages-of-misfortunes-in-an-optimistic-title/ |title=&#039;Zinda Hai Zindagi&#039;: Ahfazur Rahman&#039;s poems hide messages of misfortunes in an optimistic title |publisher=The Express Tribune|date= 30 November 2013|accessdate=2013-12-03}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He died on 12 April 2020 in Karachi, Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.samaa.tv/news/humanrights/2020/04/journalist-ahfaz-ur-rahman-who-fought-three-military-dictatorships/|title=Journalist who fought 3 dictatorships passes away|date=12 April 2020|website=Samaa TV}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1548615|title=Renowned journalist Ahfaz ur Rahman passes away at 78|first=Imtiaz|last=Ali|date=12 April 2020|website=Dawn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2020/04/12/senior-journalist-ahfazur-rahman-passes-away/|title=Senior journalist Ahfazur Rahman passes away|website=Pakistan Today}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal life==&lt;br /&gt;
===Background===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ahfaz with Faiz Ahmad Faiz.jpg|thumb|right|Rahman receiving the first prize from [[Faiz Ahmad Faiz]] in an [[Indo-Pak]] Youth Essay Writing Competition on Faiz]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rahman was born in [[Jabalpur]], [[British India]] in 1942. He  along with his family migrated to Pakistan in 1947.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jang.com.pk&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Dialogue, NOS, The News International|url=https://jang.com.pk/thenews/mar2008-weekly/nos-09-03-2008/dia.htm|publisher=Jang.com.pk|accessdate=2013-06-04}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During his secondary education, he won prizes for his writings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jang.com.pk&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He was inspired by [[Sahir Ludhyanvi]], [[Krishan Chander]] and other stalwarts of the [[Progressive Writers&#039; Movement]] since his early years. He became a student leader of the left-wing student organization, [[National Students Federation]] (NSF) and took part in 1962 and 1964 student uprisings against General [[Ayub Khan (Field Marshal)|Ayub Khan]]&#039;s regime.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jang.com.pk&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In 1969, he went to work in the [[Foreign Languages Press]] in Beijing, China, during the [[Cultural Revolution]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ahfaz farmers1.jpg|thumb|Rahman working alongside Chinese farmers in rural China, during the [[Cultural Revolution]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Activism===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ahfaz police.jpg|thumb|right|Rahman on the ground during protests against the [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] regime&#039;s decision to ban media channels in 2007]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rahman began his activism upon returning to Pakistan from China at the end of 1972. During the General Zia ul Haq&#039;s dictatorial regime, he organized the movement for the freedom of the press. He was one of the three journalists who went underground to continue the movement, and eventually also went to prison. The movement had started in 1977, when the Daily Musawaat in Karachi, a newspaper with [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] (PPP) leanings, was banned by General Zia&#039;s government.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jang.com.pk&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1977, journalists from all over the country came to Karachi to court arrest in batches. Rahman was the first journalist to be arrested in the first batch. From 30 April 1978 to 30 May 1978, more than 120 journalists who came from various cities to court arrest in [[Lahore]] were arrested and sent to different jails of the [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]] province. Rahman was again among the first to be arrested and sent to Camp Jail, Lahore. Later he was taken out of jail and barred from entering the Punjab province for six months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July 1978 journalists from all corners came to Karachi for courting arrest and were sent to different jails of the Sindh province. In the meantime, Rahman went underground to organize batches consisting of journalists, workers, peasants and student volunteers for court arrest.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jang.com.pk&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the movement ended, Rahman was blacklisted by all major newspapers and magazines. As a result, he faced economic difficulties due to a long period of unemployment. Finally in 1985, he found employment in the Foreign Language Press in Beijing China, for which he had worked sixteen years earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Journalistic career==&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to Pakistan in 1993, with the Zia era over, Rahman joined [[Daily Jang]], the largest selling Urdu newspaper in Pakistan, as the magazine editor.&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002, he was elected unopposed President of the [[Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists]] (PFUJ), which is the sole representative body of Pakistani journalists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the president of the PFUJ&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.ifex.org/en/content/view/full/55804 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120804153154/http://www.ifex.org/en/content/view/full/55804 |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 August 2012 |title=Detained French journalists announce hunger strike, Pakistani journalist&#039;s whereabouts remain unknown |publisher=IFEX |accessdate=2013-06-04 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; he protested against the newspaper and media house owners for not giving the workers their due rights and for not implementing the Wage Board Award&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.pakistanpressfoundation.org/2004/08/govt-believes-in-freedom-of-press/|title=Wage Board Award|publisher=Pakistan Press Foundation.org|accessdate=2015-07-29}}{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as had been directed by the Government.&lt;br /&gt;
He was terminated from services for his outspoken activism.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;asiamedia.ucla.edu&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article-southasia.asp?parentid=9797 |title=AsiaMedia, Sunday, April 4, 2004.

After yet another period of unemployment, Rahman found a job in the Urdu newspaper [[Daily Express (Urdu newspaper)|Daily Express]]. He also wrote a weekly column that appeared on Sundays in Daily Express, titled &amp;quot;Black and White&amp;quot; (&#039;&#039;Syaah o Safaid&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2007, Rahman was among the first journalists to be arrested&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://pakistanmartiallaw.blogspot.ch/2007_11_21_archive.html |title=Emergency Times|work=pakistanmartiallaw.blogspot.ch/|accessdate=2015-07-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; during the protests against the [[Pervez Musharraf|Musharraf]] government&#039;s decision to ban several media channels.&lt;br /&gt;
Rahman worked to &amp;quot;revitalize&amp;quot; the [[Karachi Press Club]] and &amp;quot;condemned the opportunist elements that were bent upon de-politicizing the vibrant club&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2008, in what was a first in the history of Pakistani literature, four of his newly published books were launched at Arts Council Karachi&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/290571/karachi-writer-says-imperialism-country |title=Writer Says Imperialism Country&#039;s Biggest Threat|work=Dawn|date= 23 February 2008|access-date=2015-07-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; on the same day in a well-attended ceremony that attracted people, including poets, writers, journalists, trade unionists and activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the sixth International Urdu Conference that took place at the [[Karachi Arts Council]] in November 2013, a new collection of Rahman&#039;s poetry, titled &#039;&#039;Zinda Hai Zindagi&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;Life, it is alive!&amp;quot;) was launched. Leading poet and feminist [[Fehmida Riaz]] spoke on the occasion and said, &amp;quot;His poetry is an engaging account of our collective yearnings for what this nation has yet to achieve.&amp;quot; [[Zahida Hina]] and Shamim Hanfi also spoke on the occasion, about Rahman&#039;s literary works.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tribune.com.pk&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-4-216882-Bold-writings-will-help-reduce-acts-of- |title=Bold writings will help reduce acts of terrorism, says Qaim |publisher=The News International|accessdate=2013-12-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131129045753/http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-4-216882-Bold-writings-will-help-reduce-acts-of- |archivedate=29 November 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Senior writer and [[Man Booker International Prize]] nominee for 2013, [[Intizar Hussain]] in his review of the collection, opined that through his poetry Rahman is &amp;quot;searching for hope amid despair&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dawn_intizar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1058489 |title=Books and Authors, Dawn |work=Dawn|date= 25 November 2013|accessdate=2013-12-02}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Early life and education ==&lt;br /&gt;
Simon Oraon was born in Khaksi Toli village, a small village under the [[Bero Block]], around 35 km away from [[Ranchi]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Meet the Waterman from Jharkhand&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.holdsomedetail.com/meet-the-waterman-from-jharkhand-simon-oraon/ | title=Meet the Waterman from Jharkhand | publisher=Holdsome Detail | date=3 April 2016 | accessdate=4 August 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in a catholic farmer&#039;s family&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian octogenarian honored for preserving the environment&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.ucanews.com/news/indian-octogenarian-honored-for-preserving-the-environment/75776 | title=Indian octogenarian honored for preserving the environment | publisher=UCA News | date=15 April 2016 | accessdate=4 August 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and had school education only up to class IV.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;A 73-year-old who saves rainwater and jungles&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/a-73yearold--who-saves-rainwater-and-jungles/719667/ | title=A 73-year-old who saves rainwater and jungles | publisher=Indian Express | date=3 December 2010 | accessdate=4 August 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Work ==&lt;br /&gt;
Simon&#039;s villagers relied heavily on rainwater for their agriculture and did farming only for a limited period every year due to scarcity of water. This is known to have prompted Oraon in building a reservoir at the footsteps of the nearby hills which he did with the assistance of his fellow villagers in 1961. Though the initial attempt and the subsequent attempt the next year did not last long, the third dam, built with the help of local authorities survived and is providing irrigation assistance to the village to the day. This was followed by two more dams at Deshbali and [[Jharia]] and several ponds in the neighbouring villages of Hariharpur, Jamtoli, Khaksitoli, Baitoli and Bhasnanda.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Simon Baba is still continuing his life-long struggle to conserve jungles of Jharkhand&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=https://pmrdfellows.wordpress.com/2013/06/07/simon-baba-is-still-continuing-his-life-long-struggle-to-conserve-jungles-of-jharkhand/ | title=Simon Baba is still continuing his life-long struggle to conserve jungles of Jharkhand | publisher=PMRD Fellows | date=2016 | accessdate=4 August 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In all, he helped construct five check dams in the region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;PantVerma2010&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=Niranjan Pant|author2=R.

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1964, the villagers elected him as the &#039;&#039;Parha Raja&#039;&#039; (Chief of the tribe) and he initiated the social forestry program at his ancestral property which he continues, planting 1000 trees every year, to prevent [[soil erosion]] and depletion of water resources.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Simon Baba is still continuing his life-long struggle to conserve jungles of Jharkhand&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He formed a 25-member village committee with the representation of all the nearby villages which administers the forestry drive.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Malay Roy Choudhury&#039;&#039;&#039; (29 October 1939 – 26 October 2023) was an Indian [[Bengal]]i poet, playwright, short story writer, essayist and novelist who founded the [[Hungry generation|Hungryalist movement]] in the 1960s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Roychoudhury |first=Malay |title=Interview with Malay Roychoudhury |url=https://www.academia.edu/36190875}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and education ==&lt;br /&gt;
Malay Roy Choudhury was born in [[Patna]], Bihar, India, into the [[Sabarna Roy Choudhury]] clan, which owned the villages that became [[Kolkata]]. He grew up in Patna&#039;s Imlitala ghetto, which was mainly inhabited by [[Dalit]] Hindus and [[Shia Islam|Shia Muslims]]. His was the only Bengali family. His father, Ranjit Roy Choudhury (1909–1991) was a photographer in Patna; his mother, Amita (1916–1982), was from a progressive family of the 19th-century [[Bengali Renaissance]]. His grandfather, [[Laksmikanta Roy Choudhury]], was a photographer in Kolkata who had been trained by [[Rudyard Kipling]]&#039;s father, the curator of the [[Lahore Museum]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of three, Roy Choudhury was admitted to a local Catholic school, and later, he was sent to the Rammohan Roy Seminary [[Oriental Seminary]]. The school was administered by the [[Brahmo Samaj]] movement, a [[Monotheism|monotheistic religion]] founded in 1830 in Kolkata by Ram Mohun Roy, who aimed to purify [[Hinduism]] and recover the simple worship of the [[Vedas]]. There, Roy Choudhury met student-cum-librarian Namita Chakraborty, who introduced him to [[Sanskrit literature|Sanskrit]] and [[Bengali literature|Bengali]] classics. All religious activities were banned at the school, and Roy Choudhury has said that his childhood experience made him instinctively [[Secularity|secular]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Interview with Malay Roychoudhury, Poet of Hungryalism {{!}} City Lights Booksellers &amp;amp; Publishers |url=https://citylights.com/interview-with-malay-roychoudhury-poet-of-hungryalism/ |access-date=2023-10-26 |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Maitreyee B Chowdhury |title=The Hungry Man: Malay Roychoudhury |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/culture-society/the-hungry-man-malay-roychoudhury-news-327012 |access-date=30 October 2023}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hungryalist movement ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Hungryalism}}&lt;br /&gt;
The Hungryalist movement was initially led by Malay; his brother, [[Samir Roychoudhury]]; [[Shakti Chattopadhyay]]; and Haradhon Dhara, known by his pseudonym [[Debi Roy]]. Thirty more poets and artists subsequently joined them, the best-known being [[Rajkamal Chaudhary]], [[Binoy Majumdar]], Utpal Kumar Basu, [[Falguni Roy]], [[Subimal Basak]], [[Tridib Mitra]], [[Rabindra Guha]], and [[Anil Karanjai]]. The movement&#039;s English name was derived from [[Geoffrey Chaucer]]&#039;s line &amp;quot;in the sowre hungry tyme&amp;quot;, and its philosophy was based on [[Oswald Spengler]]&#039;s &amp;quot;[[The Decline of the West]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=H |first=Sara |date=2021-06-08 |title=The Rebel Poets Of 1960&#039;s Bengal |url=https://homegrown.co.in/homegrown-explore/malay-roychoudhury-and-bengals-hungry-generation-of-anarchist-writers |access-date=2023-10-26 |website=Homegrown |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hungryalism petered out in 1965, when the [[West Bengal]] government issued arrest warrants for eleven Hungryalists, including Roy Choudhury and his brother. Some members, such as Subhash Ghosh and Saileshwar Ghosh, testified against Roy Choudhury in Kolkata&#039;s Bankshall Court. He was jailed for a month for his poem [[Stark Electric Jesus]] by Kolkata [[Bankshall Court]] in 1966. However he was exonerated by the Kolkata High Court in 1967. From the letters of [[Sunil Gangopadhyay]] written to [[Sandipan Chattopadhyay]] during 1964 published recently it is known that [[Sunil Gangopadhyay]] felt that [[Hungry generation]] literary movement was a threat to his [[Krittibas (magazine)|Krittibas]] group of poets of 1950s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=পাল |first=শুভম |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s_YLEAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC+%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8C%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%80&amp;amp;pg=PA193 |title=সমান্তরাল সাহিত্য পত্রিকা ( দীপাবলি সংখ্যা ): প্রথম বর্ষ, পঞ্চম সংখ্যা |date=2020-11-30 |publisher=সমান্তরাল সাহিত্য পত্রিকা |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Howard McCord]], a professor of English at [[Washington State University]] and [[Bowling Green University]] who met Roy Choudhury during a visit to Kolkata, wrote in &#039;&#039;City Lights Journal Number Three&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Malay Roy Choudhury, a Bengali poet, has been a central figure in the Hungry Generation&#039;s attack on the Indian cultural establishment since the movement began in the early 1960s. ... Acid, destructive, morbid, nihilistic, outrageous, mad, hallucinatory, shrill—these characterize the terrifying and cleansing visions&amp;quot; that &amp;quot;Indian literature must endure if it is to be vital again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both the [[Bangla Academy (Bangladesh)|Bangla Academy]] and [[Northwestern University]] have archives of Roy Choudhury&#039;s Hungryalist publications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roy Choudhury wrote three drama during the [[Hungryalism]] movement: &#039;&#039;Illot&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Napungpung&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Hibakusha&#039;&#039;, considered to be a mash-up of the [[Theatre of the Absurd]] and [[Transhumanism]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Poetry and translations ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Poet Malay.jpg|thumb|Roy Choudhury in 2009]]&lt;br /&gt;
With his 1963 poem &amp;quot;Prachanda Baidyutik Chhutar&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;[[Stark Electric Jesus]]&amp;quot;), which prompted the government&#039;s actions against the Hungryalists, Roy Choudhury introduced [[Confessional poetry]] to Bengali literature. The poem defied traditional forms (e.g., [[sonnet]], [[villanelle]], [[minnesang]], [[pastourelle]], [[canzone]], etc.), as well as Bengali [[Metre (poetry)|meters]] (e.g., matrabritto and aksharbritto). His poem &amp;quot;Jakham&amp;quot; is better known and has been translated into multiple languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His best-known poetry collections are &#039;&#039;Medhar Batanukul Ghungur&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Naamgandho&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Illot&#039;&#039;, and a complete collection of his poems was published in 2005. He has written about 60 books since he launched the Hungryalist movement in November 1961.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roy Choudhury also translated into [[Bengali language|Bengali]] works by [[William Blake]] (&amp;quot;[[The Marriage of Heaven and Hell]]&amp;quot;), [[Arthur Rimbaud]] (&amp;quot;[[A Season in Hell]]&amp;quot;), [[Tristan Tzara]] ([[Dada]] manifestos and poems), [[André Breton]]&#039;s [[Surrealism]] manifesto and poems, [[Jean Cocteau]] (&amp;quot;Crucifixion&amp;quot;), [[Blaise Cendrars]] (&amp;quot;Trans-Siberian Express&amp;quot;), and [[Allen Ginsberg]] (&amp;quot;[[Howl (poem)|Howl]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[Kaddish (poem)|Kaddish]]&amp;quot;). He has also translated [[Paul Celan]]&#039;s famous poem &amp;quot;[[Death Fugue]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roy Choudhury wrote extensively on the life and works of [[Allen Ginsberg]], [[Henry Miller]], [[James Joyce]], [[Charles Baudelaire]], [[Jean Arthur Rimbaud]], [[Osip Mandelstam]], [[Marcel Proust]] and [[Anna Akhmatova]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003, he was given the [[Sahitya Academy]] award, the Indian government&#039;s highest honour in the field, for translating [[Dharamvir Bharati]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Suraj Ka Satwan Ghora&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Project MUSE&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |title=About the Playwright and Translator |date=2010|journal=Manoa|volume=22|issue=1|publisher= University of Hawai&#039;i Press|pages=142–143|doi=10.1353/man.0.0086}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, he declined to accept this award and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Adhunantika phase ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1995, Roy Choudhury&#039;s writings, both poetry and fiction, took a dramatic turn. A linguist, [[Probal Dasgupta]], dubbed this the Adhunantika Phase (Bengali: অধুনান্তিক পর্ব), a [[portmanteau]] of two Bengali words: &#039;&#039;adhuna&#039;&#039;, meaning &amp;quot;new&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;current&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;contemporary&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;modern&amp;quot;, and &#039;&#039;antika&#039;&#039;, meaning &amp;quot;closure&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;end&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;extreme&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;beyond&amp;quot;. His poetry collections from this phase are &#039;&#039;Chitkar Samagra, Chhatrakhan, Ja Lagbey Bolben, Atmadhangser Sahasrabda, Postmodern Ahlader Kobita&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Kounaper Luchimangso&#039;&#039;. His novels from the period include &#039;&#039;Namgandho, Jalanjali, Nakhadanta, Ei Adham Oi Adham&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Arup Tomar Entokanta&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this phase Roy Choudhury wrote several poetic dramas which were a mash-up of [[Postmodernism]] and [[Transhumanism]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Roy Choudhury shifted to Mumbai from Calcutta he ventured into [[Magic realism]] and wrote novels such as &#039;&#039;Labiyar Makdi&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Chashomranger Locha&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Thek Shuturmurg&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Jungle Romio&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Necropurush&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Naromangshokadhoker Halnagad&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014 Roy Choudhury wrote his autobiography in his distinct style titled &#039;&#039;Rahuketu&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal life ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== In popular culture ==&lt;br /&gt;
A 2014 film based on Roy Choudhury&#039;s poem [[Stark Electric Jesus]] was directed by Mrigankasekhar Ganguly and Hyash Tanmoy. It was an official selection at 20 international film festivals in 15 countries. The film won &amp;quot;Best Video Art&amp;quot; in Poland, &amp;quot;Most Promising Video Artist&amp;quot; in Spain, and &amp;quot;Best Fantasy Film&amp;quot; in Serbia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.ebela.in/details/22366-154859328.html |title= কম বাজেটের প্রতিবাদ |date= 23 September 2014|work=ebela |publisher=  ABP Group |access-date=23 September 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.anandabazar.com/district/southkorcha/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B7-%E0%A6%A3-%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%9A-1.81966 |title= মলয় বিদ্যুৎ|date= 29 October 2014|work=Anandabazar Patrika |publisher=  ABP Group |access-date=29 October 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.epaper.eisamay.com/Details.aspx?id=14130&amp;amp;boxid=41841812|title=কয়েক জন কলেজ পড়ুয়া|date=6 October 2014|work=ei samay|publisher=Times Group|access-date=6 October 2014|archive-date=17 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150417122857/http://www.epaper.eisamay.com/Details.aspx?id=14130&amp;amp;boxid=41841812|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Manavi&#039;&#039;&#039; was originally formed by six South Asian women: [[Shamita Das Dasgupta]], Radha Sarma Hegde, Shashi Jain, Rashmi Jaipal, Vibha Jha, and [[Kaveri Kaul|Kavery Dutta]], as a consciousness raising group interested in addressing concerns faced by South Asian women in the U.S. In a short period of time, this New Jersey–based organization expanded its goals in response to requests from the community to begin providing services to women facing violence and abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Founded in 1985, Manavi (meaning &#039;primal woman&#039; in [[Sanskrit]]) was the first organization in the U.S. to specifically address the needs of [[South Asia]]n women, who are victims of [[Violence against women|violence]]. Although started as a consciousness-raising group, Manavi&#039;s founders soon realized that South Asian women facing abuse were unable to seek help from local authorities and mainstream organizations for variety of reasons. These reasons could be attributed to cultural, lingual and [[immigration]] barriers, among others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Manavi came to existence, many other South Asian organizations for women have been formed in the U.S. along the lines of Manavi. Today, Manavi continues to be a pioneer by championing new strategies for advancing the South Asian women&#039;s movement in the U.S. and by constantly adapting its service provision to the changing needs of South Asian women living in the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While providing direct service to South Asian women in need, Manavi is also a [[social change]] agent within the South Asian community.  In addition, it is a [[cultural competence|cultural competency]] educator and diversity trainer in the mainstream movement to end violence against women in the U.S. In short, Manavi simultaneously addresses both the immediate needs of women facing abuse and the long-term vision of establishing peaceful communities free from gender-based violence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The company&#039;s origins date back to 1964 with the establishment of Sind Electric Stores in [[Lohar Chawl]] by Thakurdas Jaisinghani, who had moved to [[Mumbai|Bombay]] from [[Pakistan]] after the [[Partition of India]]. This store dealt in various electrical products like fans, lighting fixtures, switches, and wires. By 1975, the company established Thakur Industries and a land was acquired from the [[Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation]] in [[Andheri]], Mumbai, for the construction of a cable and wire manufacturing facility.&amp;lt;ref name=Forbesindia/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1983, the company formally entered the electrical goods manufacturing sector with the founding of Polycab Industries by Inder T. Jaisinghani and his brothers. A factory was established in [[Halol]], [[Gujarat]], for the production of PVC insulated wires and cables, copper and aluminum, and bare copper wire.&amp;lt;ref name=Forbesindia/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2008, the company entered into a joint venture with [[Nexans]], a French cable manufacturer. The joint venture, with an initial investment of $37 million, focused on the production of rubber cables for the shipbuilding, railway, and wind power industries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Polycab in JV with Nexans of France for rubber cables |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/energy/power/polycab-in-jv-with-nexans-of-france-for-rubber-cables/articleshow/3005813.cms |publisher=[[The Economic Times]] |date=3 May 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2009, the company entered the [[engineering, procurement, and construction]] (EPC) sector, offering services covering the design, engineering, supply, execution, and commissioning of power distribution and rural electrification projects.&amp;lt;ref name=D/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2008, the [[International Finance Corporation]], the private investment arm of the [[World Bank]], acquired a 12% stake in Polycab Wires for {{INR}}551.5 crore (US$120 million). This transaction valued the company&#039;s cable manufacturing business at ₹4,600 crore (US$1 billion).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Sinha |first1=Vivek |title=IFC to acquire 12% in Polycab for Rs 552 cr |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/indl-goods/svs/engineering/ifc-to-acquire-12-in-polycab-for-rs-552-cr/articleshow/3515439.cms?from=mdr |publisher=[[The Economic Times]] |date=23 September 2008}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2014, Polycab India Limited expanded its product range to include electric fans, LED lighting and luminaires, switches and switchgear, solar products, and conduits and accessories.&amp;lt;ref name=D&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Polycab India jumps 22% on market debut |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/polycab-india-debuts-at-18-premium-over-issue-price/articleshow/68899797.cms |publisher=[[The Economic Times]] |date=16 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190505111007/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/polycab-india-debuts-at-18-premium-over-issue-price/articleshow/68899797.cms?from=mdr |archive-date=5 May 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=C/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013, the company formed a joint venture with [[Nexans]], holding a 49% stake, to establish production facilities in Gujarat. The investment for this venture amounted to $55 million (approximately {{INR}}320 crore).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=French cable maker ties up with Polycab |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/french-cable-maker-ties-up-with-polycab-108022001102_1.html |publisher=[[Business Standard]] |date=5 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2014, Polycab India Limited expanded its product range to include electric fans, LED lighting and luminaires, switches and switchgear, solar products, and conduits and accessories.&amp;lt;ref name=D/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Polycab India Limited established a 50:50 joint venture named Ryker Base with [[Trafigura]] (Singapore) in 2016 to strengthen its backward integration for copper.

==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Isisaurus Size Comparison.svg|thumb|Size compared to a human]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Isisaurus&#039;&#039; was a medium-sized sauropod, with some estimates of its body length up to {{convert|18|m|ft}} long and weighing {{convert|15|MT|ST}}.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Paul|first=Gregory S.|title=The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs|year=2016|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=978-1-78684-190-2|oclc=985402380|page=232}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The angle between the [[occipital bone]] and occipital condyle in &#039;&#039;Isisaurus&#039;&#039; and the fellow Indian titanosaur &#039;&#039;[[Jainosaurus]]&#039;&#039; is different. In the specimen from Dongargaon it is equal to 120°. In that matter, the cranium of &#039;&#039;Isisaurus&#039;&#039; resembles the skulls of &#039;&#039;[[Diplodocus]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Apatosaurus]]&#039;&#039; (genera belonging to the [[Diplodocidae]]), but the bone modifications are different.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wilson&amp;amp;09&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Classification==&lt;br /&gt;
While &#039;&#039;Isisaurus&#039;&#039; has consistently been considered to be a titanosaurian sauropod, its exact placement within this clade and its relationships with other titanosaurs has been controversial and problematic. Most analyses have recovered it with close affinities to taxa such as &#039;&#039;[[Rapetosaurus]]&#039;&#039; or the [[Saltasauridae]]. Various alternative positions suggested in that past are displayed in the following [[cladogram]]s:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Isisaurus&#039;&#039; was placed within [[Opisthocoelicaudiinae]] by Curry-Rogers in 2005.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Curry Rogers |first1=Kristina |title=The Sauropods: evolution and paleobiology |last2=Wilson |first2=Jeffrey A. |date=2005 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=978-0-520-24623-2 |location=Berkeley}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sathyamoorthy lives with his mother and grandfather in the Boat Club area. He earns a degree with first class honors.

After a violent confrontation, Sathyamoorthy’s grandfather dies, and he and his mother are forced to relocate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In their new surroundings, Sathyamoorthy’s mother finds work and encourages him to find better prospects. Later events involve riots, wrongful arrest, and struggles with local criminal factions.

The film depicts the journey of a girl who gradually becomes a strong woman. She knowingly marries a man who is affected with cancer and he dies very soon. She somehow manages to get rid of the trauma and marries another man, who has lost his wife and has a little daughter. But her second husband becomes intolerant of the love and affection she shows towards him. She thus ends up by taking care of his daughter and the parents of her first husband.&lt;br /&gt;

== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|2020–2021 Indian farmers&#039; protest}}&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2020, the Parliament enacted three bills: the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020; the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Government will repeal all 3 farm laws: Modi |url=https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/agriculture/government-will-repeal-all-3-farm-laws-modi-80280 |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=downtoearth.org.in |date=18 November 2021 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The administration claims that such laws would diminish the government&#039;s involvement in agriculture and create greater opportunities for the private sector. The farmers were concerned that eliminating government protections would make them vulnerable to businesses.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last1=Mashal |last2=Schmall |last3=Goldman |first1=Mujib |first2=Emily |first3=Russell |date=2021-01-27 |title=What Prompted the Farm Protests in India |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/27/world/asia/india-farmer-protest.html |access-date=2024-03-01 |work=The New York Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2021, farmers protested against these laws. Over 200 farmers&#039; organisations joined the protest. On November 19, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that the centre had chosen to revoke the three agriculture laws passed by Parliament in the year 2020.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Shamim |first=Sarah |title=Why are Indian farmers marching on New Delhi? |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/13/india-farmers-march-what-are-their-demands-why-is-govt-blocking-roads |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=Al Jazeera |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The farmers protested once more, alleging that the governmentfailed to fulfil the promises made in 2020–2021. They also blamed the government for not attempting to double their incomes. Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) organised a statewide rural and industrial strike to show displeasure with the government.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* Legal Guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for All Crops: The central demand of the protest is a legal framework guaranteeing MSP for all agricultural produce. Currently, the government announces MSP for only a select few crops, leaving others vulnerable to market fluctuations and potentially lower prices. A legal guarantee would provide farmers with a more stable and predictable income.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-02-13 |title=&#039;MSP law, free power, Rs 10,000 pensions&#039;: SKM reiterates demands in letter to PM Modi |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/india/story/farmers-protest-msp-law-free-power-rs-10000-pensions-skm-reiterates-demands-in-letter-to-pm-modi-417326-2024-02-13 |access-date=2024-02-26 |website=Business Today |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Implementation of Swaminathan Committee Recommendations: The protestors seek the implementation of the recommendations made by the M.S. Swaminathan Committee, a high-level committee formed in 2006 to address agricultural issues in India. The committee&#039;s report proposes various measures to improve farmers&#039; income and welfare, including improved infrastructure, investment in research and development, and market reforms.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;

As of Mid 2025 the protests have ended. Small agitation still continue but for other reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Government proposals==&lt;br /&gt;
===Centre proposes 5-year plan to farmers to buy pulses, maize at MSP===&lt;br /&gt;
Following the fourth round of talks between a government panel and the farmers, the central government proposed a 5-year plan for the procurement of pulses and maize at Minimum Support Price (MSP). The MSP serves as a protective measure devised by the government to assure farmers of a guaranteed price for their harvest, shielding them from market uncertainties. Acknowledging the significance of pulses and maize in the agricultural landscape, the government&#039;s proposition seeks to extend enduring assistance by ensuring a steady income for farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the proposal, a fixed quantity of pulses and maize will be procured at MSP over the next five years. This initiative holds paramount importance in fostering price stability, curbing the exploitation of farmers by intermediaries, and fostering agricultural sustainability. By establishing a dependable market and an equitable pricing system, the plan endeavours to motivate farmers to persist in cultivating these crops, thus bolstering the country&#039;s food security efforts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Centre proposes 5-year plan to farmers to buy pulses, maize at MSP {{!}} Best IAS Coaching in Delhi, India |url=https://web.shriramias.in/upsc-zone/centre-proposes-5-year-plan-to-farmers-to-buy-pulses-maize-at-msp/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219135858/https://web.shriramias.in/upsc-zone/centre-proposes-5-year-plan-to-farmers-to-buy-pulses-maize-at-msp/ |archive-date=19 February 2024 |access-date=2024-02-19 |website=web.shriramias.in |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{better source needed|reason=Per WP:VENDOR|date=February 2024}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Government proposes 5-year plan for key crop prices, over to farmers |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/farmers-protest-government-talks-msp-5-year-proposal-pulses-cotton-diversification-delhi-chalo-paused-skm-shambhu-border-2503918-2024-02-19 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220144149/https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/farmers-protest-government-talks-msp-5-year-proposal-pulses-cotton-diversification-delhi-chalo-paused-skm-shambhu-border-2503918-2024-02-19 |archive-date=20 February 2024 |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=India Today |date=19 February 2024 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In this video, Dallewal is shown indicating that they want to bring down [[Narendra Modi]]&#039;s graph (his popularity) that soared due to the [[consecration of the Ram Mandir]], and that these protests offer a window of opportunity to achieve that.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Phadke |first=Ruddhi |date=2024-02-15 |title=&#039;Need To Bring Modi&#039;s Graph Down...&#039;: Big &#039;Political&#039; Comment By Farmer Leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal Triggers Row (VIDEO) |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/will-bring-modis-graph-down-says-farmer-leader-jagjit-singh-dallewal-amid-delhi-chalo-protest |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220072738/https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/will-bring-modis-graph-down-says-farmer-leader-jagjit-singh-dallewal-amid-delhi-chalo-protest |archive-date=20 February 2024 |access-date=2024-02-20 |work=The Free Press Journal}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These remarks were criticized by Khattar, the Haryana Chief Minister.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2024-02-15 |title=Farmers moving like army with tractors; making political comments: Haryana CM |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/farmers-moving-like-army-with-tractors-earthmovers-making-political-comments-haryana-cm-101707987919745.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220072738/https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/farmers-moving-like-army-with-tractors-earthmovers-making-political-comments-haryana-cm-101707987919745.html |archive-date=20 February 2024 |access-date=2024-02-20 |work=Hindustan Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, Pawan Khera of the [[Indian National Congress]] supported Dallewal&#039;s remarks, responding that the farmers have every right to express their political views.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2024-02-15 |agency=PTI |title=&#039;Modi graph&#039; video: Cong says farmer has right to air political views, BJP points to PM&#039;s popularity |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/modi-graph-video-cong-says-farmer-has-right-to-air-political-views-bjp-points-to-pms-popularity/articleshow/107728820.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220072738/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/modi-graph-video-cong-says-farmer-has-right-to-air-political-views-bjp-points-to-pms-popularity/articleshow/107728820.cms |archive-date=20 February 2024 |access-date=2024-02-20 |work=Hindustan Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;General Post Office, Patna&#039;&#039;&#039; (abbreviation &#039;&#039;&#039;GPO&#039;&#039;&#039;, commonly known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Patna GPO&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a [[British Raj]] building located in [[Patna, Bihar]], India. It is the central [[post office]] of the city of Patna and the headquarters of India Post&#039;s Bihar Circle. It is located on the intersection of Buddh Marg and New Market Station Road. The post office handles most of the city&#039;s inbound and outbound mails and parcels. As of 2017, GPO Patna delivers 1 lakh letters and parcels daily through 96 postmen. It also has more than 12 lakh [[savings accounts]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The building was designed by New Zealand-born architect Joseph Fearis Munnings. The GPO campus also houses the office of the [[Postmaster|Chief Postmaster]] General for Bihar Circle. The construction of building started in 1912 and was completed in 1917. The building was opened to public in 1917 and was then known as Post and Telegraph Office. The building was part of the New Patna that British established in 1912 after the division of [[Bihar and Orissa Province|Bihar and Orissa]] from [[Bengal Presidency]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Thesis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The post office celebrated its centenary year in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
At the Delhi Durbar of 1911 King [[George V]] announced the creation of a new province of [[Bihar and Orissa Province|Bihar and Orissa]] under a lieutenant-governor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/hardinge-park-turns-102-viceroy-statues-pedestal-demolished/1242888|title=Hardinge Park turns 102; viceroy statue&#039;s pedestal demolished|access-date=2018-03-04|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511080513/https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/hardinge-park-turns-102-viceroy-statues-pedestal-demolished/1242888|archive-date=11 May 2018|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; British decided Patna to be the capital of the new province. With this came the need to establish government offices and buildings such as the [[Patna Secretariat]], [[Raj Bhavan (Bihar)]], [[Patna University]] campus, [[Patna High Court]], Post and Telegraph Office.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Thesis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Munnings was appointed as Consulting Architect to the Government of Bihar and Orissa in the year 1912 and was tasked with the planning and development of New Patna.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AdAZDgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;q=Consulting+Architect+to+the+Government+of+Bihar+and+Orissa+J+F+Munnings&amp;amp;pg=PA78|title=India: Modern Architectures in History|last1=Scriver|first1=Peter|last2=Srivastava|first2=Amit|date=2015-02-15|publisher=Reaktion Books|isbn=9781780234687|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511080512/https://books.google.com/books?id=AdAZDgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA78&amp;amp;lpg=PA78&amp;amp;dq=Consulting+Architect+to+the+Government+of+Bihar+and+Orissa+J+F+Munnings&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=mX4GOetPb1&amp;amp;sig=-hWmgadKusWfxM3X5THa4FFMDyo&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwj8zpWesNPZAhUQq1kKHfefBigQ6AEINzAC#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=Consulting%20Architect%20to%20the%20Government%20of%20Bihar%20and%20Orissa%20J%20F%20Munnings&amp;amp;f=false|archive-date=11 May 2018|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst|Lord Hardinge]] laid the stone of new buildings in Patna on 1 December 1912.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Kerosene-lamps-illuminated-Patna-in-1912/articleshow/19138112.cms|title=Kerosene lamps illuminated Patna in 1912 - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-03-04|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511080512/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Kerosene-lamps-illuminated-Patna-in-1912/articleshow/19138112.cms|archive-date=11 May 2018|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The construction of the building started in 1912 and was completed in 1917.

&lt;br /&gt;
Patna GPO when built was known as Post and Telegraph Office. It was however, not the first post office in Patna. The first post office in official records of Patna was near Anisabad area. This post office was later shifted to [[Bankipore]], 150 metres away from the current GPO building. When the GPO building was constructed, the Bankipore post office moved to Muradabad area on Ashok Rajpath. The first post office of the province of Bihar and Orissa was opened near [[Hazaribagh]] - now part of the state of [[Jharkhand]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/patnas-iconic-gpo-turns-100-today/articleshow/59391907.cms|title=Patna&#039;s iconic GPO turns 100 today - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-03-12|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317211746/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/patnas-iconic-gpo-turns-100-today/articleshow/59391907.cms|archive-date=17 March 2018|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Building and architecture==&lt;br /&gt;
The post and telegraph office, Patna was built in Gothic Revival architectural style.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://thebiharpost.com/glorious-moment-for-bihar-as-british-era-gpo-completes-100-years/|title=Glorious moment for Bihar as British era GPO completes 100 years|date=2017-07-01|work=The Bihar Post|access-date=2018-03-16|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317103547/http://thebiharpost.com/glorious-moment-for-bihar-as-british-era-gpo-completes-100-years/|archive-date=17 March 2018|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; J.F. Munnings was the main architect on the project and was influenced by choice of local materials and plain designs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Thesis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; These constraints were also practical in nature as it was the time when [[World War I]] was waging and [[British Empire]] was one of the main belligerents of the [[Allies of World War I|allied powers]]. This led to the plain designs of the building as the empire was spending more on war efforts.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Thesis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The building is a flat roofed, plastered brick building featuring [[Chhajja]]. The building also has [[Mughal architecture|Mughal]] features as when built, it was located on the edge of the old city of Patna and was on the road leading from old city to the new capital city of Patna. It also features an [[Arcade (architecture)|arcade]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Thesis&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original structure had three porticoes - north, south and east. East portico functioned as the main entrance. The western flank was added later. The ground floor has seven rooms and four halls with counter areas. The first floor houses 14 halls which are quite huge in size. The chief postmaster&#039;s office is now located in the central portion, while the deputy postmaster&#039;s office is located underneath it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The building was renovated in the year 2000 at a cost of INR 1.25 crore. The renovation also added five gardens, including one having medicinal herbs to the campus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;HT&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Location ==&lt;br /&gt;
Patna GPO is located in [[Beer Chand Patel Path]] locality of Patna. The main building is located on the intersection of Buddh Marg and New Market Station Road. The main portico of the building faces in the south east direction. GPO is less than 1&amp;amp;nbsp;km from [[Patna Junction]] and around 6&amp;amp;nbsp;km from [[Patna Airport]]. [[Hardinge Park]] is located on west side of the GPO campus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current use==&lt;br /&gt;
Patna GPO currently serves as the main post office of the city of Patna and is also the head office of Bihar circle of India Post. The area of the building is around 2.5 lakh sq ft and houses almost 296 employees. One multipurpose hall on ground floor houses the counters of all the mail and booking services. The other three halls on ground floor deal with financial services, staff and [[philately]]. A separate area for 96 postmen is housed in seven other rooms on the same floor in the southern flank. Mail, delivery and parcel sections are also present in the same section. There are separate counters for senior citizens and students in the northern side of the building.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TOI1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The popularity of the song prompted many comparisons with &amp;quot;[[Munni Badnaam Hui]]&amp;quot; from the 2010 film &#039;&#039;[[Dabangg]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;munnivssheila&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Munni - Sheila battle heats up|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100162156&amp;amp;keyword=bollywood&amp;amp;subcatg=MOVIESINDIA|publisher=NDTV Movies|accessdate=21 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206074900/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100162156&amp;amp;keyword=bollywood&amp;amp;subcatg=MOVIESINDIA|archive-date=6 December 2010|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It has since become one of the most viewed Bollywood songs on [[YouTube]] with more than 305 million views to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Influences==&lt;br /&gt;
Katrina Kaif stated that [[Farah Khan]] presented her with DVDs of [[Madhuri Dixit]]&#039;s movies, so that Katrina could concentrate on Dixit&#039;s dances. Kaif then stated that it helped her a lot.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Madhuri&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Ashar|first=Urvashi|title=Katrina&#039;s &#039;Sheila&#039; dedicated to Madhuri|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-08/news-interviews/28217808_1_madhuri-dixit-raunchy-number-dance|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103091300/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-08/news-interviews/28217808_1_madhuri-dixit-raunchy-number-dance|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=8 December 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kaif describes her performance in this song as &amp;quot;one of the sexiest&amp;quot; she has ever done.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=&#039;Sheila Ki Jawani&#039; is the sexiest song I have ever shot, says Katrina|url=http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/music/sheila-ki-jawani-is-the-sexiest-song-i-have-ever-shot-says-katrina_76548.htm|publisher=Zee News|accessdate=22 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She said, &amp;quot;It was kind of a learning experience for me. I don&#039;t take the song being called item number as an offense. There is exposure in the song but it is more about attitude and I was specific about it...&amp;quot; Director Farah Khan recalls, &amp;quot;Katrina was very conscious of revealing her navel in &#039;Sheila ki Jawani&#039; and worked out for two months for it, telling me to allow her an option to cover herself with a dupatta if her abs weren&#039;t flat. But in the end, she was extremely confident, not bothering to cover up with a bathrobe in between shots or even in the walk from her vanity van to the set.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/blog-radio/story/20110613-bollywood-deepika-padukone-katrina-navel-look-is-new-cleavage-for-sexy-indian-women-and-re-emergence-of-sari-746338-2011-06-03|title=Bollywood navel fashion has led to re-emergence of sari|author=Shilpa Rathnam Prachi Rege Kaveree Bamzai |date=June 3, 2011 |magazine=India Today|language=en|access-date=2019-05-27}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Music video ==&lt;br /&gt;
Both the official music video and the full video feature Kaif shooting for an eponymous film with Dadlani as director in a special appearance. Kumar and his gang, comprising [[Ali Asgar (actor)|Ali Asgar]], Dharampal and [[Vijay Maurya]], then interrupt the music video shoot twice, only to be dragged away by security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extended video cut ends with Kumar smashing director Dadlani&#039;s head with a mug and carrying away Kaif on his shoulders as the background dancers scatter in a frenzy. Kumar is shown to detest the shoot and tries to distract Kaif, annoying director Dadlani in the bargain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The song was well received by film critics, who praised the choreography of Farah Khan and the moves of Katrina. [[Anupama Chopra]] of [[NDTV]] wrote, &amp;quot;Farah continues to be the consummate choreographer – So, Sheila ki Jawani has a superb, infectious energy&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|title=Review: Tees Maar Khan|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_review.aspx?id=583&amp;amp;albumname=Movie%20Review:%20Tees%20Maar%20Khan&amp;amp;cp|publisher=NDTV Movies|accessdate=22 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714162056/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_review.aspx?id=583&amp;amp;albumname=Movie%20Review:%20Tees%20Maar%20Khan&amp;amp;cp|archive-date=14 July 2011|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Nikhat Kazmi]] of &#039;&#039;[[The Times of India]]&#039;&#039; wrote &amp;quot;Of course Sheila Ki Jawani is eye-popping chartbuster fare and adds another definition to the item number with Katrina&#039;s explosive rendition&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Kazmi|first=Nikhat|title=Tees Maar Khan|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Tees-Maar-Khan/movie-review/7149954.cms|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=Times of India|date=23 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; India Today wrote &amp;quot;The stunning Katrina Kaif brings sexy back with her latest item song from Farah Khan&#039;s &#039;&#039;Tees Maar Khan&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/katrina-kaifs-bold-act-in-sheila-ki-jawani-85672-2010-11-15|title=Katrina Kaifs bold act in Sheila Ki Jawani|access-date=2017-09-24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Times of India, praising Katrina in item songs, wrote, &amp;quot;Katrina Kaif made men go weak on their knees with her [[navel exposure]] for the item songs, &#039;Sheila ki Jawani&#039; and &#039;[[Chikni Chameli]]&#039; which were major hits in her career.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://photogallery.indiatimes.com/celebs/celeb-themes/celebrities-with-hot-navel-show/Katrina-Kaif-made-men-go-weak-on-their-knees-Photogallery-Times-of-India/articleshow/47472777.cms|title=Katrina Kaif made men go weak on their knees Photogallery - Times of India|work=The Times of India Photogallery|access-date=2018-01-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The song turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year, along with &amp;quot;[[Munni Badnaam Hui]]&amp;quot; from &#039;&#039;[[Dabangg]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;munnivssheila&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; [[Malaika Arora]], who featured in &amp;quot;Munni Badnaam Hui&amp;quot; was frequently compared with Kaif, in what was popularly known as the &amp;quot;Munni vs Sheila&amp;quot; debate.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Nagpaul-D&#039;Souza|first=Dipti|title=Munni vs Sheila: The way of the &#039;Item Bomb&#039;|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/munni-vs-sheila-the-way-of-the-item-bomb/729468/1|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=Indian Express|date=26 December 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Wangoo|first=Anupama|title=Sheila steals Munni&#039;s thunder|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Sheila-steals-Munnis-thunder/articleshow/7164852.cms|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701180033/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-26/chandigarh/28217169_1_munni-badnaam-hui-malaika-arora-jawani|url-status=live|archive-date=1 July 2012|access-date=22 December 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=26 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2010, a [[Public Interest Litigation]] (PIL) was filed in the Lucknow bench of the [[Allahabad High Court]], with the petitioner asking for a ban of the song, claiming it was &amp;quot;indecent&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;immoral&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=PIL demands ban on Munni Badnaam Hui and Sheila Ki Jawani|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/123107/pil-demands-ban-munni-badnaam.html|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Deccan Herald|date=23 December 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the movie was released with minimal cuts, and was given a [[Censor Board of India#Current certificates|U/A censor rating]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Tees Maar Khan in censor trouble; gets U/A certificate|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Tees-Maar-Khan-in-censor-trouble--gets-U-A-certificate/723416|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Indian Express|date=11 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Cathedrals ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[cathedral]] of the Archdiocese is the [[Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians]], in [[Shillong]]. It was built over 50 years ago. This place of worship stands on the very site of the first Church built by the German fathers ([[Salvatorians]] from [[Germany]]).&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The earlier 1913 building – the Church of the Divine Saviour – was a wooden structure. &lt;br /&gt;
It was destroyed in the Good Friday fire of 10 April 1936. Built by the first Catholic missionaries to set foot on these hills, the Salvatorians from Germany, it was the first Catholic Cathedral in what was then the Mission of Assam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Ecclesiastical Province of Shillong ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Shillong Archdiocese serves not only as an ecclesiastical seat but also as the metropolitan Archdiocese of the Shillong province. A province within the Catholic Church is a grouping of dioceses under the authority of an archbishop. In the case of the Shillong province, it comprises the Shillong Archdiocese itself, along with the Tura Diocese, Aizawl Diocese, Agartala Diocese, Jowai Diocese, and Nongstoin Diocese. This arrangement reflects the hierarchical structure of the Church, wherein archbishops oversee the administration and spiritual welfare of multiple dioceses within their respective province.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Archbishop of Shillong though have no ruling power over the other dioceses but in disputes within a diocese of the province, the diocese may seek assistance from the metropolitan archdiocese of their ecclesiastical province where the metropolitan Archbishop may intervene under canon law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Province of Shillong comprises the following [[suffragan]] dioceses that has Shillong as its [[metropolitan see]]:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Agartala|Agartala]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Aizawl|Aizawl]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Jowai|Jowai]]&lt;br /&gt;

A fire broke out aboard &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; while the vessel was in [[Visakhapatnam]] in February 2010. One sailor was killed and two others were injured. Navy officials reported that the fire had been caused by an explosion in the submarine&#039;s battery compartment, which occurred due to a faulty battery valve that leaked hydrogen gas.&amp;lt;ref name=it14a13&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Explosion on Indian Navy submarine INS Sindhurakshak possibly due to gas buildup|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/indian-navy-submarine-ins-sindhurakshak-fire-explosion-gas-buildup-173752-2013-08-13|access-date=14 August 2013|date=14 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Fire mishap on INS Sindhurakshak due to explosion in battery: Navy |work=Hindustan Times|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/India/Fire-mishap-on-INS-Sindhurakshak-due-to-explosion-in-battery-Navy/Article1-513475.aspx |date=27 February 2010 |access-date=14 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130817013123/http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/India/Fire-mishap-on-INS-Sindhurakshak-due-to-explosion-in-battery-Navy/Article1-513475.aspx |archive-date=17 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Upgrades===&lt;br /&gt;
After the fire damage in 2010, &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; was transported to Russia on board a heavy lift ship from [[Visakhapatnam]] in June 2010 for refit, overhaul and upgrade which lasted two and a half years.&amp;lt;ref name=isnov13&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Commodore (Retd) Ranjit B Rai|title=The Indian Navy&#039;s Submarine Arm is Dependable|url=http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories3022_The_Indian_Navys_Submarine_Arm_is_Dependable.htm|publisher=India Strategic|access-date=23 November 2013|archive-date=16 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016021556/http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories3022_The_Indian_Navys_Submarine_Arm_is_Dependable.htm|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In August 2010, &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; arrived at the Zvezdochka shipyard in Russia. The submarine was modernised, repaired and retrofitted under Project 08773, and after the upgrade, the sea trials started in October 2012. The upgrades included improved [[electronic warfare]] systems, an integrated weapon control system and a new cooling system, and were expected to extend the service life of the submarine by ten years.&amp;lt;ref name=it14a13/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;nyt14j&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Explosion Partly Sinks Indian Naval Submarine|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/14/world/asia/explosion-partly-sinks-indian-naval-submarine.html?_r=0|access-date=14 August 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=14 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[3M-54 Klub#Klub-S.5B3.5D|Club-S]] (3M54E1 anti-ship and 3M14E land attack) missiles, [[USHUS (sonar)|USHUS]] sonar, СCS-MK-2 radio communication systems and Porpoise radio-locating radar, and other safety-enhancing features were incorporated.&amp;lt;ref name=it12a13/&amp;gt; The submarine was handed back to the Indian Navy on 27 January 2013,&amp;lt;ref name=zn27j13/&amp;gt; after which it sailed back to India, under Commander Rajesh Ramkumar.

===Incident in the Mediterranean===&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2013, while returning from the refit, &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; encountered severe storms in the [[Mediterranean Sea]] when it was travelling near [[Alexandria]]. This was part of the submarine&#039;s extensive three-month-long deployment, where it traveled 10,000 miles.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;nyt14j&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Russian-Built Submarine Catches Fire in Mumbai, Sailors Feared Dead|url=http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russian-built-submarine-catches-fire-in-mumbai-sailors-feared-dead/484561.html|access-date=16 August 2013|newspaper=The Moscow Times|date=15 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The severity of the storms prevented the Alexandria port authorities from sending a [[tugboat]], and the shallow waters prevented the submarine from diving.

===Explosion and sinking (2013)===&lt;br /&gt;
On 14 August 2013, the &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; sank after explosions caused by a fire on board when the submarine was berthed at [[Mumbai]]. The fire, followed by a series of ordnance blasts on the armed submarine, occurred shortly after midnight. Though the fire was put out within two hours, due to damage from the explosions, the submarine sank and was partially submerged in 15 metres deep water at its [[Berth (moorings)|berth]], with only a portion of the sail visible above the water surface.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bs0991&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=International help to salvage sunken submarine|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/international-help-to-salvage-sunken-submarine-113081900991_1.html|access-date=20 August 2013|newspaper=Business Standard|date=20 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/picture-gallery/ins-sindhurakshak-submarine-submerges-after-explosion/3209-1.html |title=PHOTOS: INS Sindhurakshak submarine submerges after explosion Photo Gallery, Picture News Gallery |work=The Indian Express|access-date=2013-08-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130818082158/http://www.indianexpress.com/picture-gallery/ins-sindhurakshak-submarine-submerges-after-explosion/3209-1.html |archive-date=18 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dnaiss&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=INS Sindhurakshak fire set off torpedoes causing minor damage to INS Sindhuratna; fate of 18 sailors on board, Initial immediate Salvage was conducted by Grafftech Marine &amp;amp; Engineering Pvt Ltd, a registered marine firm with the Indian Navy for providing diving &amp;amp; dredging services, the Salvage operation was headed as an joint military operations by Capt.

Due to the explosion, the front section of the submarine was twisted, bent and crumpled, and water had entered the forward compartment. Another submarine, {{INS|Sindhughosh|S55|6}} was berthed very close to &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039; in the congested Mumbai naval dockyard; and sustained minor fire damage, though the navy did not release details of the extent of damage.&amp;lt;ref name=bs0991/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Divers reach front cabin |url= http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130819/jsp/nation/story_17246221.jsp#.UhM8HZIwemo|archive-url= https://archive.today/20130820101451/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130819/jsp/nation/story_17246221.jsp%23.UhM8HZIwemo|url-status= dead|archive-date= 20 August 2013|access-date=20 August 2013|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=19 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Sindhurakshak&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[double hull]] was credited with preventing further damage to surrounding vessels.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=INS Sindhurakshak tragedy: Submarine&#039;s twin hulls contained fire, reduced losses|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/ins-sindhurakshak-tragedy-submarines-twin-hulls-contained-fire-reduced-losses/1155858/0|access-date=16 August 2013|newspaper=The Indian Express|date=16 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=dnaiss/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=INS Sindhurakshak: A &#039;&#039;Sindhughosh&#039;&#039;-class submarine with latest weapons|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/ins-sindhurakshak-a-sindhughosh-class-submarine-with-latest-weapons/414168-3-237.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130817150918/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/ins-sindhurakshak-a-sindhughosh-class-submarine-with-latest-weapons/414168-3-237.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=17 August 2013|access-date=14 August 2013|newspaper=IBN Live|date=14 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Official sources at the time said it was &amp;quot;highly unlikely&amp;quot; the submarine could be returned to service.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Chor Gumbad, Gulbarga &#039;&#039;&#039; is a domed building in Gumbad, [[Kalaburagi]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Yazdani |first=Ghulam |url=https://ignca.gov.in/Asi_data/22688.pdf |title=Annual Report of the Archaeological Department of His Exalted Highness The Nizam&#039;s Dominions |publisher=Baptist Mission Press |year=1917 |location=Calcutta |pages=3–4}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is listed as a [[State Protected Monuments of India|state protected monument]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Protected Monuments in Karnataka |url=https://asi.nic.in/protected-monuments-in-karnataka/ |access-date=2023-08-22 |website=[[Archaeological Survey of India]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{failed verification|date=May 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Etymology ==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Chor Gumbad&#039;&#039; (lit. Dome of thieves), as it is colloquially known, might have been named as it came to have been occupied by thieves.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another name for the building is the &#039;&#039;Shor Gumbad&#039;&#039; (lit. Dome of noise), also spelt &#039;&#039;Shor Gumbaz&#039;&#039;. This is ascribed to the supposed use of the building as a [[watchtower]]. As the soldiers deployed on the [[Turret (architecture)|turrets]] would sound an alarm upon spotting any enemy army approaching, which could be heard from a distance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Patel |first=Rehaman |title=Shor Gumbaz that inspired Gol Gumbaz |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/shor-gumbaz-that-inspired-gol-gumbaz-999133.html |access-date=2023-08-22 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The building dates back to the [[Bahmani Sultanate|Bahmani]] period. There are no graves within the building, and it may have been built as a commemorative monument by [[Ahmad Shah I Wali|Ahmad Shah]] to mark his victory over [[Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah|Firuz Shah]] and ascension to the throne in 1422.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Philon |first=Helen |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AfjtoQEACAAJ |title=Gulbarga, Bidar, Bijapur |date=2014 |publisher=Jaico Publishing House |isbn=978-81-8495-601-6 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
It is situated on a hillock, to the west of [[Gulbarga Fort]]. The square-shaped building is surmounted by a massive dome. This dome rises to a height of 100 feet. At four corners of the roof are turrets which are crowned by kiosks. A five feet tall [[parapet]] rises above the structure. The walls have arches carved into them, with each wall having ten arches arranged in two stories. There is only one entrance, at the Eastern end.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Internally, the tomb measures 74&#039; by 66&#039;. A corridor beneath the dome has arched windows covered by [[jali]] screens. This was probably provided to allow elite women of the &#039;&#039;[[zenana]]&#039;&#039; to observe events while maintaining their privacy as required by &#039;&#039;[[purdah]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Haidar |first1=Navina Najat |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iWNHYID4WqAC&amp;amp;dq=chor+gumbad+gulbarga&amp;amp;pg=PA195 |title=Sultans of the South: Arts of India&#039;s Deccan Courts, 1323-1687 |last2=Sardar |first2=Marika |date=2011 |publisher=Metropolitan Museum of Art |isbn=978-1-58839-438-5 |pages=195 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last= |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.153598/page/n255/mode/2up |title=History of Medieval Deccan |date=1974 |editor-last=Sherwani |editor-first=H.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Mohammed Rafi&#039;&#039;&#039; (born 24 May 1982) is an Indian former professional [[football (soccer)|footballer]] who played as a [[striker (association football)|striker]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Club career==&lt;br /&gt;
Mohammed Rafi came through the ranks of [[State Bank of Travancore (football club)|SBT]] which had distinction of fielding not only all-Indian but also all-Malayali squad. SBT was promoted to first division of National Football League in 2004 and in that season he scored 4 goals and came into limelight. Unfortunately, SBT got relegated but he was roped in by [[Mahindra United]] for the next season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 09-10 I-league, he finished the season with record 14 goals, which is best ever for an Indian striker, he was also adjudged Mahindra United&#039;s player of the year.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;footballkerala&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://footballkerala.com/2010/05/28/rafi-is-mahindra-uniteds-player-of-the-season/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110408174336/http://footballkerala.com/2010/05/28/rafi-is-mahindra-uniteds-player-of-the-season/|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 April 2011|title=I League: Rafi is Mahindra United&#039;s Player Of The Season - Kerala football news|access-date=13 November 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rafi&#039;s example was followed by his younger brothers Mohammad Shafi, who played for [[Viva Kerala FC]] and Mohammad Razi, with KSEB.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/others/rafi-makes-soccer-pay-262 |title=Rafi makes soccer pay |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010151130/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/others/rafi-makes-soccer-pay-262 |archive-date=2012-10-10}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mumbai===&lt;br /&gt;
On 24 November 2013 it was announced that Rafi has signed for Mumbai on loan from IMG Reliance with three other players [[Khelemba Singh]], [[Pappachen Pradeep|N.P. Pradeep]] and Peter Costa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Mumbai FC sign four IMG-Reliance contracted players on loan|url=http://arunfoot.blogspot.in/2013/11/mumbai-fc-sign-four-img-reliance.html?m=1|access-date=26 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203155939/http://arunfoot.blogspot.in/2013/11/mumbai-fc-sign-four-img-reliance.html?m=1|archive-date=3 December 2013|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He made his debut on 2 December 2013 against [[East Bengal F.C.]] at the [[Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex|Balewadi Sports Complex]] in which he played the whole match as Mumbai won the match 3-2.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Mumbai vs. East Bengal 3-2|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/12/02/india/i-league/mumbai-fc/east-bengal-club-fc/1585358/|work=Soccerway|access-date=8 December 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===DSK Shivajians===&lt;br /&gt;
After having a good season with [[Kerala Blasters]] in the [[2015 Indian Super League]] season, Rafi joined [[DSK Shivajians]], which gained a place in the league through bidding a direct entry slot, for the [[2015–16 I-League]] season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Indian Super League===&lt;br /&gt;
In the inaugural season of Indian Super League (ISL), Rafi played for [[Atletico de Kolkata]], the team owned by Sourav Ganguly and Atletico de Madrid.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiansuperleague&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/atletico-de-kolkata|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140920211647/http://www.indiansuperleague.com/atletico-de-kolkata|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 September 2014|title=ISL - Indian Super League - Atlético de Kolkata|access-date=13 November 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rafi was signed by [[Kerala Blasters FC]] for the second ISL season. He scored on his debut, the second goal of the match against North East United, and also set up [[Sanchez Watt]]&#039;s goal.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;indiansuperleague2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/kerala-blasters-fc|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140920232657/http://www.indiansuperleague.com/kerala-blasters-fc|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 September 2014|title=ISL - Indian Super League - Kerala Blasters FC|access-date=13 November 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He won ISL Emerging Player of the Match award against [[NorthEast United FC]] in the [[2015 Indian Super League]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
When Kavitha is forced by her father to marry an IAS officer, she seeks helps from her tutor. On the day of the wedding, Kavitha runs away from the mandap as she is not interested in marrying the groom, Prabhulla Kumar, an [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]] officer that has been arranged for her. The bride&#039;s father suffers a heart attack upon learning that his daughter ran away from the mandap. Upon investigation, the groom is revealed to be a fraudster who has married different women in various districts of Kerala posing as multiple professions such as doctor and chartered account. Meanwhile, a woman is crying at the hospital because she doesn&#039;t have money to buy medicines and arrange for a heart surgery for her daughter. Here enters Vinod, who is this woman&#039;s son with cash for his sister&#039;s treatment and surgery. The sister and the bride&#039;s father are admitted to the same hospital. It turns out that Vinod&#039;s family and Kavitha&#039;s family used to be neighbours in their childhood days and they were childhood friends. Upon the death of Kavitha&#039;s mother, Kavitha and her father had to move away to their native place. Vinod meets Kavitha&#039;s father at the hospital and during their conversation, it comes out that Kavitha was abducted on the day of the wedding. Vinod reflects back to the day. It was on his bike that Kavitha fled, but unknowingly. Further, it is revealed that Prabhulla Kumar was the one who paid Vinod to abduct Kavitha. A fight ensues between Vinod and Prabhulla Kumar as Vinod tries to save Kavitha from Prabhulla Kumar. Prabhulla Kumar confesses that he had feelings for Kavitha which is why he wanted to stop the wedding and hence arranged for her kidnapping. In the fight, Vinod gets stabbed, but survives and they both unite.&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{more plot|date=June 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
The story revolves around a male [[Kathakali]] artiste Kunjikuttan, an admirable and respected performer but a member of a lower caste. He struggles to come to terms with the rejection and estrangement of his father, a member of an upper caste who denies his paternity. Poor, unhappy, and stuck in an arranged marriage that provides no respite, he gets by for the sake of his daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One night, whilst performing as [[Putana]] from &#039;&#039;Poothanamoksham&#039;&#039; from the epic &#039;&#039;[[Mahabharata]]&#039;&#039; on stage, his performance is witnessed by Subhadra, an educated and married upper-caste woman, niece of the [[Dewan]] and an aspiring composer. Impressed by his performance she invites him to play [[Arjuna]] in her adaptation of [[Subhadraharanam]]. Defying norms of India&#039;s rigid caste system, the two have an affair which results in the birth of a son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It soon becomes clear that Subhadra loves the character Arjuna from his stage performances, and not Kunhikuttan the artiste. More in love with the valiant, noble hero of the &#039;&#039;Mahabharata&#039;&#039;, than the lower-caste dancer Kunhikuttan, she rejects him and refuses to let him see their son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Denied access to his son, and rejected by his father, Kunhikuttan returns to the stage, leaving behind his hero roles to play demonic characters, reaching within the dark corners of his mind, becoming increasingly resentful and full of anger, until one last dance which brings the feature to a stunning end.&lt;br /&gt;

Prem Panickar of &#039;&#039;[[Rediff.com|Rediff]]&#039;&#039; wrote, &amp;quot;From a viewer&#039;s point of view, it is interesting that after watching the film, you come away talking of the passionate &#039;virtual love story&#039;, of the stunning visuals, of Mohanlal&#039;s brilliance and Suhasini&#039;s surcharged performance -- but rarely, if ever, of the director. Perhaps that is Shaji N Karun&#039;s biggest victory. He is there, in the meticulously etched story and the sparse, telling dialogues. He is there in the use of Kathakali as a medium -- inspired, perhaps, by his mentor, the late Malayalam auteur [[G. Aravindan|Aravindan]]&#039;s 1988 opus, &#039;&#039;Marattam&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2001-11-08 |title=rediff.com, Movies: The Rediff Review: Vaanaprastham |url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/jul/31vaan.htm |access-date=2023-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011108051430/http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2001/jul/31vaan.htm |archive-date=8 November 2001 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Kunnath Madhavan Nair, a teacher living happily with his two sons, Raja and Surya Narayanan, accidentally kills a boy named Gopi, who belongs to a rival family. Raja takes the blame to save Madhavan. Despite Raja getting released from prison, Madhavan refuses to accept him not knowing about his innocence. Raja leaves for [[Madurai]] and saves the son of the village landlord Maniannan. Due to this, Raja turns into his right-hand and was named as &#039;&#039;Madurai Raja&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Years later, Raja becomes a powerful gangster called Pokkiri Raja, while Surya is an educated person and is also well known for getting involved in fights. To change his character, Surya is sent to [[Ernakulam]] to his brother-in-law [[Sub Inspector|SI]] Sugunan. At Ernakulam, Surya falls in love with Aswathy, the daughter of [[Police Commissioner|city commissioner]] Rajendra Babu. Sugunan takes advantage of Surya&#039;s character and sends him in his uniform to take care of severe police cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Surya follows Aswathy, but is unaware that [[Home Minister]] Kumaran&#039;s son Mahendran is also in love with Aswathy. Aswathy hates Surya as she assumes that he is a cop, but she tells him that Rajendra Babu is her step-father and was the person behind her mother&#039;s death. Rajendra Babu have left her alive because Mahendran was in love with her. Rajendra Babu and Mahendran learns of Surya and Aswathy&#039;s relationship, where they arrests Surya on false charges of smuggling [[narcotics]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rajendra Babu and Mahendran also plan to kill Surya and gives the contract to Raja. At this point, Madhavan leaves for Madurai in search of Raja and asks for his help to rescue Surya. Realizing that Surya is his brother, Raja rescues Surya and warns Rajendra Babu. Raja and Surya crosses many hurdles and manages to defeat Rajendra Babu and Mahendran, but they spare them. The story ends with Surya reuniting with Aswathy, and the two getting married.&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===31 December 2014===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young woman tries to call the emergency hotline to save her before she is murdered in a flat in Chennai (Tamil)/Visakhapatnam (Telugu). Someone is shown covering up the crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Present day===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sathish Ganapathy aka Saga ([[Aadhi Pinisetty]]), a regular, middle-class college student from Chennai arrives in [[Mumbai]] to meet Mudaliar ([[Mithun Chakraborty]]), the city&#039;s underworld don and protector of the poor. At around the same time, Mudaliar is rushed to the hospital after he is almost killed in an assassination attempt. A mob assembles before his house and demands he shows up to prove he is alive. When he finally does appear, the crowd is grateful for his survival and pray for his well-being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Four months ago===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saga and his three wealthy friends skip their finals on purpose, so that they can continue to stay in college and enjoy themselves rather than face adulthood. Despite being warned by his parents to stay away from his friends as they are a bad influence on him, Saga hangs out with them. He finally decides to turn over a new life after Kayal ([[Nikki Galrani]]), the girl he falls in love with, convinces his father that Saga can be a responsible adult if given the chance. His parents then put him in charge of his sister&#039;s wedding arrangements before leaving for their hometown to meet relatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===31 December 2014===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With his family out of town, Saga follows his three friends for a night in the city to celebrate New Year&#039;s Eve. At a restaurant, two of his friends are drunk and get into a fight with a girl named Priya and her boyfriend, Surya. When the police come to resolve the ruckus, they realise that Saga&#039;s third friend is the son of the police commissioner and decides to arrest Surya instead. Priya protests and is publicly humiliated by the police inspector, without knowing who she is. She then warns Saga and his friends to go into hiding as they will not live to see the light of day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1 January 2015===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By midnight, Saga and his friends come to know that Priya is actually the daughter of Mudaliar. Her brother, Guna, who runs Mudaliar&#039;s businesses in Chennai (Tamil)/Visakhapatnam (Telugu) is after them for revenge. Saga&#039;s friends try to convince him to follow them into hiding as arranged by their wealthy and influential fathers, but he insists on staying to arrange for his sister&#039;s wedding. Later that morning, Saga is chased down by Guna&#039;s men while in town. He is finally saved by Deva, Guna&#039;s henchman who realises that Saga saved his brother&#039;s life once. Deva advises Saga to go to Mumbai to meet Mudaliar in person and explain everything since he is a sensible man, unlike Guna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Present day===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saga goes to Mudaliar&#039;s home and claims that Guna sent him. When it is discovered he is lying, he is tortured since he is suspected of the assassination attempt on Mudaliar. Saga finally gets to meet Mudaliar and explains the truth of what happened that night in Chennai. However, Mudaliar drops a bombshell by saying that after Priya bailed out Surya from the police station that night, both of them went missing and have not been seen since. Since Saga and his friends were the last to see the couple alive, they are the prime suspects. Saga refuses to reveal his friends&#039; whereabouts until Mudaliar threatens to have his family killed. Mudaliar then gives Saga some time to find his friends or else his family will die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Kayal and Deva&#039;s help, Saga finds out where his friends are hiding. In between, Saga is being attacked by a person in a purdah. As Saga cannot see his face, he is unable to catch his attacker. Saga goes into hiding as he suspects that he is being targeted by the father of one of his friends, in order to keep their identities safe. The attacker then tries to kill Deva and runs away. In the process, he begins to suspect that their fathers are trying to frame him for Priya&#039;s disappearance to save their sons. This forces Saga to reveal his friends&#039; hideouts to Mudaliar, who releases his family. Saga then visits Deva in the hospital who is receiving treatment. Deva hands Saga a paper that has a symbol and says the attacker had this symbol tattooed in his hand. After much thinking, Saga realises that he saw such a tattoo on Surya&#039;s forearm and he might know about Priya&#039;s whereabouts and goes to his flat. Once there, he finds Surya&#039;s frozen body being kept by Surya&#039;s psychotic ex-girlfriend, Nila who also has the same tattoo on her hand. It is then revealed that she killed both Surya and Priya on New Year&#039;s Eve out of jealousy. Before Saga can take Nila to meet Mudaliar, she is killed by Deva&#039;s brother, leaving Saga with no alternative to convince the don of the truth. At around the same time, Mudaliar and Guna find Priya&#039;s body washed up on the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once his men have rounded up Saga and his friends, Mudaliar orders Guna and their men to kill them. However, the friend who tried to hit on Priya and caused the whole misunderstanding finally admits his mistake to Mudaliar and pleads for his friends&#039; release in return for his life. Moved by the young man&#039;s deed, Mudaliar lets the four friends go as he realises they couldn&#039;t have killed his daughter as they were willing to sacrifice their life for their friends.&lt;br /&gt;

== Critical response ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Times of India]] gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, &amp;quot;There are films whose twists in the script make them unpredictable and interesting and there are films that have one twist too many and end up exasperating us. &#039;&#039;Yaagavarayinum Naa Kaakka&#039;&#039; belongs in the latter category&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |title=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com is temporarily unavailable |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Yaagavarayinum-Naa-Kaakka/movie-review/47850338.cms |access-date=2015-08-15 |work=indiatimes.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Hindu]] wrote, &amp;quot;when the film does eventually begin in the second half, there&#039;s quite a lot to like...Some subtlety could&#039;ve been nice towards the end, as there&#039;s too much emotion being milked with over-the-top performances and extra-poignant loud music. But that&#039;s not really the film’s biggest problem.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Shivangi from [[Sikar]], [[Rajasthan]] lives in London with her husband, Kunwar Veer Singh. Veer receives a strange locket as a gift from an unknown admirer in Rajasthan. A ghost comes out of the locket and possess Veer. Without knowing Veer is possessed, Shivangi admits Veer in a hospital. Veer&#039;s body begins to contort unnaturally and Veer begins growling in strange languages. The doctors seem to diagnose it as [[tetanus]], which is incurable. Shivangi&#039;s handmaiden, Kesar Ma, deems it as [[black magic]]. As the doctors are unable to save Veer, Shivangi visits her family in Rajasthan. Shivangi and her family visit an exorcist to remedy Veer&#039;s condition. The exorcist attempts to confront the ghost by entering the other realm through a mirror but is soon expelled, being too weak to confront the ghost. The exorcist ask Shivangi&#039;s family to visit Mewar Baba whose real name is Jai Singh Gujjar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some years ago, Shivangi was deeply in love with Jai. Rana saw Shivangi and Jai together and attempted to misbehave with Shivangi but Jai intervened. Rana reports Shivangi and Jai&#039;s relationship to Shivangi&#039;s father. Jai was charged with attempted murder and Shivangi testifies against Jai. Jai was then sentenced to prison for five years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shivangi meets and pleads with Jai to help Veer. Jai finally agrees to go to London. Jai investigates the matter and discovers that Veer&#039;s troubles began upon receiving the strange locket. Jai proves about the possession to the doctors and the doctors agree to discharge Veer. At Veer&#039;s house, Jai makes Shivangi into reciting a spiritual chant to bind the spirit and Jai throws the locket into the [[Thames]] River. It is revealed that the locket was actually sent by Jai to get revenge on Shivangi for Jai&#039;s false imprisonment. Jai pretends to help but continues to inflict more pain to Shivangi. Shivangi confronts Jai about knowing the source of the locket and Jai admits everything to Shivangi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shivangi reveals to Jai that Shivangi&#039;s father would have killed Jai if Shivangi did not agree to falsely imprison Jai. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After hearing the truth, Jai agress to help. Jai traps the ghost in a bottle and buries the bottle in a graveyard but the ghost escapes and attacks Jai.&lt;br /&gt;
Jai meets and asks help from his Guru. Jai&#039;s guru regretfully says that the ghost will not leave without taking a soul. Jai&#039;s guru directs Jai to an abandoned church where Jai and Shivaangi receive a pair of knives. Jai enters the other realm through a mirror. The ghost attacks Jai which also affects the real world. Jai recovers the locket and throws the locket to Shivangi through the mirror. Jai smashes the mirror to close the portal which traps Jai in the other realm. Shivangi burns the locket which destroys the ghost and Veer comes back to normal. Shivangi sees Jai smile peacefully from a shard of the mirror before the shard breaks. After two weeks, Veer and Shivangi find the letter from Jai. Jai had offered Jai&#039;s soul so Veer could be freed. Veer is touched and places Jai&#039;s photograph on a shelf along with other photos.&lt;br /&gt;

==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;1920 London&#039;&#039; received generally negative reviews from critics.  Mohar Basu of &#039;&#039;[[The Times of India]]&#039;&#039; gave the film 1/5 stars and wrote,&amp;quot;There isn&#039;t an inkling of innovative thinking in the third installment of the 1920 series. The best thing that can be said about it is that it will remain one of the year&#039;s funniest films&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Basu |first1=Mohar |title=1920 London Movie Review |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/1920-London/movie-review/52149079.cms?from=mdr |website=The Times of India |access-date=6 May 2016 |archive-date=4 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231104043934/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/1920-London/movie-review/52149079.cms?from=mdr |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Manjusha of &#039;&#039;[[Gulf News]]&#039;&#039; gave 1.5/5 to the film and wrote,&amp;quot;Vikram Bhatt exhausts every cliché that has been regurgitated in Bollywood love stories. Corny dialogues such as &amp;quot;we will live together and die together&amp;quot; and sappy songs with lovers dancing around in picturesque locations will make you nauseous. While the first few scenes in which evil spirit unleashes her fury are startling, it gets tiring&amp;quot; {{Citation needed|date=May 2016}}.&lt;br /&gt;

Delhi School of Journalism started in 2017 through a makeshift arrangement hosted at University Stadium in North Campus of University of Delhi. It did not have any proper classrooms and infrastructure needed for functioning of a Journalism course.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Rai|first=Arpan|date=2018-08-03|title=We Are Being Cheated, Claim Students of Delhi School of Journalism|url=https://www.thequint.com/news/education/delhi-school-of-journalism-students-protest|access-date=2020-08-20|website=TheQuint|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The administration promised to resolve all issues and provide necessary infrastructure in few months.

Mass Communication Research Centre|url=https://www.jmi.ac.in/aboutjamia/centres/mcrc/faq|access-date=2021-03-12|website=[[Jamia Millia Islamia]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Over the years, Hemant has worked with directors like [[Ram Gopal Varma]], [[Vishal Bhardwaj]] and [[Aparna Sen]], also shot films such as Company, [[Maqbool]], [[Makdee]] and &#039;&#039;[[Kurbaan (2009 film)|Kurbaan]]&#039;&#039; and various television shows like &amp;quot;[[Rendezvous with Simi Garewal]]&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;[[Kaun Banega Crorepati]]&amp;quot; amongst others.

In last year, he has been part of four group shows and has had one solo show of his still photography works with Wonderwall Gallery, New Delhi. In 2018 he finished two commemorative still photography projects for his alma mater, St.Xavier&#039;s College, Mumbai. These involved a Sesquicentennial Calendar Project and a series of portraits of retired Jesuits, teachers and staff. Both were received with tremendous appreciation and acclaim. &lt;br /&gt;
There is a continuing project on the Guru-Shishya Parampara in Dhrupad (a form of Indian Classical Music) and has finished photographing two Gurukuls so far. Also in progress is a complex project on the subject of Single Screen Cinemas, which is a Pan-India Project.&lt;br /&gt;
Hemant Chaturvedi only works on his own, self-initiated projects, and now only as a still photographer.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Punjabi cuisine&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[culinary]] style originating in the [[Punjab]], a region in [[South Asia]], which is now divided into an [[Punjab, India|Indian part]] to the east and a [[Punjab, Pakistan|Pakistani part]] to the west. This cuisine has a rich tradition of many distinct and local ways of cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:A Punjabi woman cooking, Punjab, circa 19th century.jpg|thumb|A Punjabi woman cooking, Punjab, circa 19th century]]&lt;br /&gt;
The local cuisine of Punjab is heavily influenced by the [[agriculture]] and [[farming]] lifestyle prevalent from the times of the ancient [[Indus Valley Civilization]]. Dishes similar to [[tandoori chicken]] may have existed during the [[Indus Valley Civilisation|Harappan]] civilization during the [[Bronze Age]] of [[History of India#Indus Valley Civilisation|India]]. According to the archeologist Professor Vasant Shinde, the earliest evidence for a dish similar to tandoori chicken can be found in the Harappan civilization and dates back to 3000 BC. His team has found ancient ovens at Harappan sites which are similar to the tandoors that are used in the state of Punjab. Physical remains of chicken bones with char marks have also been unearthed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Lawler |first=Andrew |date=30 January 2013 |title=The Mystery of Curry |journal=Slate |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2013/01/indus_civilization_food_how_scientists_are_figuring_out_what_curry_was_like.html}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Ritu |first=Grishm |title=Virasat |url=http://www.intach.org/pdf/virasat-april-june2017-eng.pdf}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;eco&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Bhuyan |first=Avantika |date=9 April 2017 |title=How archaeologists across the country are unearthing the food of ancestors to shed light on the evolution of eating |newspaper=The Economic Times |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/how-archaeologists-across-the-country-are-unearthing-the-food-of-ancestors-to-shed-light-on-the-evolution-of-eating/articleshow/58085366.cms}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Harappan houses had keyhole ovens with central pillars which were used for roasting meats and baking breads.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=7 Kenoyer 2015 Indus Civilization.pdf: ANTHRO100: General Anthropology (002) |url=https://canvas.wisc.edu/courses/48978/files/2427913?module_item_id=697603 |access-date=2020-08-22 |website=canvas.wisc.edu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Sushruta Samhita]] records meat being cooked in an oven (kandu) after marinating it in spices like black mustard (rai) powder and fragrant spices.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Full text of &amp;quot;Indian Food Tradition A Historical Companion Achaya K.

==Style of cooking==&lt;br /&gt;
There are many styles of cooking in Punjab. In the villages many people still employ the traditional methods and equipment for cooking purposes. This includes [[wood-fired oven|wood-fired]] and [[masonry oven]]s. Modern methods include cooking on gas cookers. Tandoori style of cooking involves use of the [[Punjabi tandoori cooking|tandoor]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/11/24/stories/2008112450160200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629015351/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/11/24/stories/2008112450160200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-06-29 |title=Metro Plus Delhi / Food : A plateful of grain |date=2008-11-24 |access-date=2009-05-07 |work=[[The Hindu]] |location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In India, tandoori cooking is traditionally associated with Punjab&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IcAGtDUWtYEC&amp;amp;pg=PA47|title= The Rough Guide to Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra |first1=Daniel |last1=Jacobs|first2= Gavin |last2=Thomas|publisher=Rough Guides Limited|year= 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as [[Punjabis]] embraced the tandoor on a regional level.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indiacurry.com/faqhistory/mughalcuisine.htm|title=What is Mughalai Cuisine?|access-date=30 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131010004646/http://www.indiacurry.com/faqhistory/mughalcuisine.htm|archive-date=10 October 2013|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This style of cooking became popular throughout India after the 1947 partition when Punjabis resettled in places such as Delhi.

==Staple foods==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Punjabi Thali.JPG|thumb|Punjabi food thali]]&lt;br /&gt;
Punjab is a major producer of wheat, rice and dairy products. These products also form the staple diet of the Punjabi people. The state of Punjab has one of the highest capita usage of dairy products in India.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Times of India {{cite web|date=30 June 2014|title=Punjab records highest per capita milk availability: Report|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Punjab-records-highest-per-capita-milk-availability-Report/articleshow/37517980.cms|access-date=29 August 2014|publisher=Times of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Therefore, dairy products form an important component of Punjabi diet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Cooking methods==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chulla and Bharroli.jpg|thumb|A traditional Punjabi stove (&#039;&#039;Chulla&#039;&#039;) and oven (&#039;&#039;Bharolli&#039;&#039;)]]&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional and modern methods are employed for cooking Punjabi cuisine. The traditional stoves and ovens used to cook Punjabi food include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chullah===&lt;br /&gt;
The traditional name of the stove in the [[Punjabi language]] is &#039;&#039;chulla&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=OWcZAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=punjabi+chulha Asian Perspectives, Volume 42 (2003) University Press of Hawaii]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Traditional houses also have [[oven]]s (&#039;&#039;wadda chulla&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;band chulla&#039;&#039;) that are made from bricks, stones, and in many cases clay. Older communities in Punjab also used [[earth oven]]s (&#039;&#039;khadda chulla&#039;&#039;), but this tradition is dying out now. {{citation needed|date=August 2014}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bhathi===&lt;br /&gt;
A masonry oven is known as a [[Punjabi bhathi|bhathi]]. [[Outdoor cooking]] and [[grilling]] have many different types of bhathi. A bhathi is used to roast wheat or corn for which Kalsi (1992) describes as a &amp;quot;special oven with an open pan in which sand is heated to roast corn.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Kalsi|first= Sewa Singh |year=1992|title= The evolution of a Sikh community in Britain: religious and social change among the sikhs of Leeds and Bradford. {{!}} Community Religions Project Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Leeds |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rjEIAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=punjab+bhathi+oven}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hara===&lt;br /&gt;
A hara is a six-foot-tall oven with its own roof. The hara is traditionally used to slow-heat milk or slow-cook pulses such as chickpeas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|first1=Sidhu |last1=Brard|first2= Gurnam |last2=Singh |year=2007|title= East of Indus: My Memories of Old Punjab|publisher= Hemkunt Press |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UUdYFH9skIkC&amp;amp;q=hara&amp;amp;pg=PA352}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tandoor===&lt;br /&gt;

The tandoor is traditionally made of clay and is a bell-shaped oven, set into the earth and fired with wood or charcoal reaching high temperatures. According to Roy Hayter&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Hayter|first= Roy |year=1992|title= Food Preparation and Cooking: Levels 1 &amp;amp; 2. |publisher=Macmillan International Higher Education|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mDhdDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=Punjabi+tandoors+can+also+rest+above+the+ground&amp;amp;pg=PA68}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the original versions of the tandoor &amp;quot;in the Punjab, a province in the north-west of India, were sunk neck deep in the ground&amp;quot;. He further states that modern versions can also rest above the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modern methods===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Pressure cooker]]s&lt;br /&gt;
* Iron griddle&lt;br /&gt;

==Etiquette of Punjabi dining==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Etiquette of eating is considered a major part of the cuisine. Every Punjabi household follows certain regional [[etiquette]]. The word etiquette has many local names depending on the particular region of Punjab. Though certain etiquette varies regionally, there are many etiquette practices that are common throughout Punjab. [[Communal dining]] is a norm in Punjabi families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bringing and sending fresh fruits, sweets and food items as gifts to family members is a common practice in Punjab, particularly during the [[Spring (season)|spring season]]. Food items are distributed among neighbors as well on special occasions and as a sign to show hospitality. [[Mango]] is considered a delicacy and produced widely in Punjab,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TRTA Pakistan Mangoes&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://trtapakistan.org/sector-products/horticulture/mangoes/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140516121946/http://trtapakistan.org/sector-products/horticulture/mangoes/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=16 May 2014|title=Mangoes &amp;amp;#124;TRTA Pakistan |date=26 November 2010 |access-date=29 July 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and mango parties are common during the fruit&#039;s harvest season. [[Watermelon]] and [[radish]] at food stalls are shared among friends and relatives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Major features of etiquette ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Table manners|Eating utensil etiquette}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An invitation to a meal or tea is typically distributed few days beforehand. Denying the invitation for no major reason is considered a breach of etiquette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Table setting]] is done before the arrival of the guests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family members or any occupants within one home make sure to eat together during the dinner. If any other person is present in the vicinity, then they are offered meals as a way of giving respect. It is considered rude to start eating food without asking others to participate in a meal. It is customary to offer food to anyone in your vicinity before eating. The invited guest or elder person is given special respect and attention. Usually the invited guest is requested to start the meal. It is considered rude if the host starts eating without taking into account the attendance of all guests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Punjabi families use a hybrid style of South Asian and European utensil etiquette most of the time. The bread and rice are eaten with the hands. Desserts are eaten with spoons. [[Soup spoon]]s are used for consuming soup and forks are used for eating noodles. Chewing food with one&#039;s mouth open and burping in front of others is considered rude. In the villages of Punjab, an additional common plate is usually placed on the table for any bones left from the consumption of bone meat. Placing leftovers on the floor or on the table floor is considered bad etiquette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Punjabi dhaba==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Dhaba|Truck stop|Cafeteria}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The roadsides often serve as suburban eatery centers. They can also be a communal place to sit and chat. Some serve on the same concept of the [[greasy spoon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Punjabi restaurants ==&lt;br /&gt;
