'''DPL Thermal Power Station''' is a coal-fired [[thermal power station]] in [[Paschim Bardhaman district|Paschim Bardhaman]] district, [[West Bengal]], which started its thermal power generation operations in 1960. The thermal power plant is located on the west side of Durgapur Station Road, and is one of the 4 coal-fired power plants in [[Paschim Bardhaman district|Paschim Bardhaman]] district.

The construction of this power plant started in the 1950s. Electricity generation from the power plant started in 1960. The thermal power plant supplies electricity to consumers by two coal-based power generation units. At present, the electricity generation capacity of the center is 550 MW.

On 1 January 2019, 100% ownership of Durgapur Projects Limited was handed over to [[West Bengal Power Development Corporation]]. Currently, DPL works as a subsidiary power generation company of the West Bengal Power Development corporation.<ref name="anandabazar1">{{cite web |author1=Pinaki Banerjee |title=নতুন বছরেই নতুন দৌড় ডিপিএলের |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/business/wbpdcl-to-start-proceedings-of-taking-over-dpl-from-the-new-year-1.923522 |website=Anandabazar |publisher=Anandabazar Patrika |access-date=2 June 2023 |location=Durgapur |language=bn |date=30 December 2018}}</ref><ref name="anandabazar2">{{cite web |title=আজ থেকেই ঢেলে সাজা শুরু ডিপিএলে |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/west-bengal/bardhaman/wbpdcl-to-start-their-new-journey-with-dpl-1.924537 |website=Anandabazar |publisher=Anandabazar Patrika |access-date=2 June 2023 |location=Durgapur |language=bn |date=1 January 2019}}</ref><ref name="Energyworld">{{cite web |title=Durgapur Projects to become subsidiary of WBPDC: Education Minister |url=https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/durgapur-projects-to-become-subsidiary-of-wbpdc-education-minister/61828855 |website=energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com |publisher=Energyworld |access-date=2 June 2023 |date=28 November 2017}}</ref>

== History ==
=== Background ===
[[Durgapur]] city was developed by the [[Government of West Bengal]] as a new and industrial city in the state after the [[Indian independence movement|independence of India]]. Electricity demand for large, small and medium industries in Durgapur and surrounding areas continues to grow. The [[Government of West Bengal|state government]] had set up DPL thermal power plants for the purpose of generating and supplying the required power.<ref name="anandabazar3"/>

=== 1960–2008: Old power generation units ===
Construction of the two units of the power plant began in the 1950s. Two units were commissioned in 1960, each with a power generation capacity of 30 MW. Two more units with a capacity of 77 MW were commissioned in 1964. Two years later in 1966, the fifth unit started generating electricity. The power generation capacity of the fifth unit was also 77 MW. The sixth unit was formed more than a decade later in 1987. The sixth unit was built after more than a decade in 1987. The power generation capacity of this unit was 110 MW.<ref name="anandabazar3">{{cite web |title=সরকার বদলালেও সঙ্কট ডিপিএলে |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/west-bengal/bardhaman/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%93-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%99-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%A1-%E0%A6%AA-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%B2-1.41023 |access-date=2 June 2023 |publisher=Anandabazar Patrika |location=[[Durgapur]] |language=bn |date=16 Jun 2014}}</ref>

'''Simplifly Deccan''', formerly known as '''Air Deccan''', was the first Indian [[low-cost carrier]]. Headquartered in [[Bengaluru]], it operated domestic flights from seven base airports using a fleet of [[Airbus A320]], [[ATR 42]] and [[ATR 72]] aircraft. The airline appealed to [[middle class]] travellers with low fares and a large route network. It employed several innovative methods to ensure the profitability of its business model. Nevertheless, Simplifly Deccan merged with [[Kingfisher Airlines]] in April 2008. Kingfisher replaced the Deccan brand with [[Kingfisher Red]] in August 2008.

Air Deccan was the first low-cost carrier in India.{{sfn|Kazmi|2008|p=531}} Launched amid a booming Indian economy and a growing [[middle class]], the airline targeted middle class travellers with its low fares and extensive route network.{{sfn|Swaminathan|2009|p=144}} Tickets cost around 30% less than those of full-service airlines and cost about the same as or less than first class rail tickets.{{sfn|Sampler|2006|p=1}} Air Deccan focused on providing air service to underserved airports across the country, where competition was low and the airline could acquire a loyal customer base.{{sfn|Gross|Lück|2016}} G.

The airline operated a single cabin class, economy, allowing it to pack more seats into its aircraft. Following its [[no-frills]] approach, it charged for all food and beverages served on board.{{sfn|Kazmi|2008|pp=539–540}} Payment was also required for cancellations,{{sfn|Sampler|2006|p=9}} and no refunds or accommodations were provided to passengers who had missed their flights.{{sfn|Mahadevan|2007|p=26}}

Air Deccan operated a [[point-to-point transit|point-to-point]] route network from seven base airports.{{sfn|Mahadevan|2007|p=26}} It maintained low turnaround times and often outsourced work to local airport employees, especially at airports that saw few Air Deccan flights and did not require dedicated employees throughout the day. Air Deccan also gained advertising revenue by allowing advertisements both inside and outside its aircraft.{{sfn|Kazmi|2008|p=540}} For reservations, the airline utilised multiple channels. Passengers could book tickets through travel agents, on the Internet or through call centres.{{sfn|Sampler|2006|pp=10–11}} Each of these channels was connected to a fully web-enabled reservation system, making Air Deccan the first in India to use such a system.<ref>{{cite news |date=17 March 2007 |title=Air Deccan migrates to Radixx Reservation System |url=http://www.oneindia.com/2007/02/28/air-deccan-migrates-to-radixx-reservation-system-1174136395.html |work=[[Oneindia]] |access-date=18 June 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160810005946/http://www.oneindia.com/2007/02/28/air-deccan-migrates-to-radixx-reservation-system-1174136395.html |archive-date=10 August 2016 }}</ref> Air Deccan also avoided the cost of printing tickets; passengers or travel agents were required to do so off the Internet.{{sfn|Sampler|2006|pp=10–11}}

==Corporate affairs and identity==
[[File:Air deccan.png|thumb|200px|Former logo]]
Through the merger with Kingfisher Airlines, Simplifly Deccan became a subsidiary of United Breweries Group.<ref name="moneycontrol" /> Headquarters were located on [[Cunningham Road, Bangalore|Cunningham Road]] in Bengaluru, the capital of [[Karnataka]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Verma |first=Varuna |date=16 September 2007 |title=In four years we have become bigger than Indian Airlines.

===Livery===
Simplifly Deccan adopted the livery of Kingfisher Airlines following the merger. The tail, engines and underside were painted red, and the [[kingfisher]] bird logo was applied to the tail. The former livery consisted of a fading blue [[Aircraft livery#Cheatline|cheatline]] and, on the tail, a blue circle with two yellow hands joined at the thumb like the wings of a bird.<ref>

==Incidents==
In 2003, on the planned launch flight from Begumpet airport, Hyderabad to Vijayawada, having onboard guests including Pratap Reddy, M Venkaiah Naidu, Pankaj Abani and other political leaders, one of the engines caught fire while taxiing for takeoff and the flight was aborted.

On 11 March 2006, Air Deccan Flight 108 made a hard landing and skidded off runway 27 at [[HAL Bangalore Airport|HAL Airport]] in Bengaluru.

==Legal issues==
''Accessibility in Transport''

Significant legal challenges have shaped the accessibility of air travel in India. In 2006, activists [[Subrata Pramanick]] and Rajiv Ranjan filed a landmark complaint (Case No. 3197/2006) against Deccan Aviation ([[Air Deccan]]) before the Court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities. The case challenged the airline's practice of charging a "wheelchair tax" of ₹500 for mobility assistance. This litigation, cited in the company's 2006 [[SEBI]] prospectus,<ref name="DeccanProspectus2006">{{cite web|title=Prospectus of Deccan Aviation Limited |url=https://www.sebi.gov.in/sebi_data/attachdocs/1292238806451.pdf|publisher=Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) |date=May 31, 2006 |page=144 |access-date=Mar 26, 2026}}</ref> contributed to the eventual mandate that all Indian carriers provide wheelchair assistance to passengers with disabilities free of charge under [[Civil Aviation]] Requirements (CAR).

== In popular culture ==
''[[Soorarai Pottru]]'', a [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language film starring [[Suriya]], directed by [[Sudha Kongara]] was inspired by the initial events of Air Deccan and its founder [[G. R. Gopinath|Cpt. G. R.

== Plot ==
On his 100th birthday, [[billionaire]] [[Business magnate|tycoon]] Ranjeet Dobriyal hosts a lavish party on a luxury [[cruise ship]], accompanied by his son Dev, [[Adoption|adopted]] son Shiraz, loyal [[bodyguard]] Batuk, [[Chief financial officer|CFO]] Maya, [[Chief operating officer|COO]] Bedi, the ship's captain Sameer, and other guests. Before the day of departure, however, Ranjeet suddenly dies of a heart attack. Fearing the news will cause Ranjeet Group's stock to plummet, Dev and the board decide to keep his death a secret. Ranjeet's [[lawyer]] Lucy activates his holographic will, revealing that his entire [[£]]69 [[billion]] [[Wealth|fortune]] is left to his son Jolly from his first marriage to Shakuntala Devi. The will contains unusual clues about Jolly's identity; he is left-handed, married to a foreigner, and has a very distinctive [[scar]] on his [[Buttocks|butt]].

The next day, three men—Jalabuddin, Jalbushan, and Julius—arrive with their respective wives, Zara, Sasikala, and Kaanchi, each claiming to be Jolly and proudly providing identical proof. Unable to determine the true heir, Dev suggests a DNA test, with the results promised the following morning. In the meantime, passengers and guests let loose for a wild night. Chaos erupts when the ship's clown, Aakhri Pasta, attempts to drug Batuk by spiking his drink, but the drink is accidentally mixed into the communal punch, drugging the entire party, and the night descends into total mayhem.

The next morning, the three men wake up in the wrong cabins, with the wrong wives, and no memory of the previous night. Confusion turns into horror when the doctor assigned to perform the DNA test is found murdered. Suspicion falls on the three men and their wives, and Dev orders them all locked in the ship's jail until Interpol arrives. In jail, the men confess to each other that they are all impostors and none of the women are their real wives; Julius is a private detective who was hired by Ranjeet to find the real Jolly, and he decided to pose as Jolly, however Jalabuddin and Jalbushan caught on to the plan due to them unknowingly hiring each other's girlfriends; Kaanchi actually belongs to Jalabuddin, Zara to Jalbushan, and Sasikala to Julius.

While Batuk naps by the cell door, they snatch his keys and escape. The men attempt to dispose of Ranjeet's body while the women crawl through air vents to destroy DNA evidence. While in the lab—turned morgue—the wives witness Bedi coming in and acting suspiciously. He rummages through the dead doctor's pockets, wipes his fingerprints from the door handles, and exits hastily. Convinced he's the killer, the women secretly record him on their phones. Meanwhile, the men carry Ranjeet's body to another room and hide the body in a wardrobe, but it accidentally gets swapped with Bedi's corpse, shot in the head hidden in the same wardrobe.

Baba and Bhiddu, two suspended London police officers, arrive hoping to solve the murder to regain their positions. They find clues pointing toward the real killer, but before they can act, Sameer is murdered, and the allegation falls onto Baba and Bhiddu, who are imprisoned. Their former boss, Interpol officer Daghdu arrives, shares investigation files with suspects, and promises to reveal the killer the next day. That night, a masked assailant sneaks into Daghdu's cabin to stab him, only to plunge the knife into a decoy dummy. Daghdu and Julius spring out from hiding to confront the assailant.

The film features two alternate endings revealing different killers:

'''Housefull 5A Ending''': The masked attacker is revealed to be Dev, who claims he is innocent. But when a second masked figure arrives, stabs Dev and flees, the truth emerges: Dev staged the stabbing as part of his scheme. While Daghdu fights Dev, Julius, along with the others, and Baba and Bhiddu, who Daghdu released from jail prior, chase the other killer into the ship's engine room, who is revealed to Jalbushan. He, along with Dev, who joined hands with him, orchestrated the entire inheritance fraud to gain Ranjeet's fortune. The doctor was killed after he had spotted Dev swapping the DNA samples, Bedi was killed when he found evidence on the doctor's body that pointed to him and confronted him, and Sameer was killed for having witnessed the crime.

'''Housefull 5B Ending''': The same killer, Jalbushan, is caught, but the true mastermind instead is Maya, the cunning CFO. Strangled by gambling debts, Maya plotted the murders to funnel Ranjeet's fortune into her hands.

As chaos engulfs the engine room, the real Jolly; Jalal, finally arrives. Jalal declares he doesn't need his father's fortune, as he himself owns a £169 billion fortune. He offers to split the £69 billion inheritance among everyone present. The film closes as Julius marries Sasikala, Jalabuddin marries Kaanchi, Dev/Maya and Jalbushan are arrested, Zara marries Jalal, and Baba and Bhiddu are reinstated as cops by Daghdu.

===Objectification of women===
The film faced criticism for its objectification of women.

==="Laal Pari" copyright claim===
The film's teaser was released on the occasion of 15th anniversary of the franchise.

''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' gave the film 3.5/5, writing, "The movie is a paisa-vasool killer comedy that works due to the performances of the lead cast, subject, humour quotient, unpredictable climax, franchise value and unabashed madness. [[Akshay Kumar]] shines with his humour and charisma, supported well by [[Riteish Deshmukh]]. [[Dino Morea]] and [[Fardeen Khan]] make a strong impression in supporting roles. [[Abhishek Bachchan]] is decent but overshadowed. The female leads add glamour, while [[Sanjay Dutt]] and [[Jackie Shroff]] are let down by weak writing. [[Nana Patekar]] stands out in a brief appearance, while [[Shreyas Talpade]] is underused."<ref>{{Cite web |date=6 June 2025 |title=Housefull 5 Movie Review: HOUSEFULL 5 is a paisa-vasool killer comedy |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/housefull-5/critic-review/housefull-5-movie-review/housefull-5-is-a-paisa-vasool-killer-comedy/ |access-date=12 June 2025 |website=Bollywood Hungama}}</ref>

Risabh Suri of the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' rated the film 3/5 stars and highlighted "The film struggles to maintain energy, relying too heavily on [[Akshay Kumar|Akshay's]] charm rather than strong material.

Renuka Vyavahare of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "What surprises you is the utter lack of humour, even dirty humour, if we may say so in the script and sheer wastage of a zillion actors who are known for their comic timing."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Vyavahare |first1=Renuka |title=Housefull 5 Movie Review : Housefull 5 mistakes noise for humour |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/housefull-5/movie-review/121669920.cms |access-date=7 June 2025 |work=[[Times of India]] |date=6 June 2025}}</ref> Devesh Sharma of the ''[[Filmfare]]'' rated the film 2.5/5 stars and opined "Housefull 5 is an over-the-top comedy set on a cruise.

Jaya Dwivedie of ''[[India TV]]'' rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote "Housefull 5 starts with a good idea and makes the audience laugh a lot in the first half but loses its shine as it moves towards the interval.

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of ''[[NDTV]]'' rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying, "The film is madcap all right but its pull-no-punches and respect-no-limits humour works against its own well-being.

Anuj Kumar of ''[[The Hindu]]'' reviewed the film and summarised "Sporadically funny and unapologetically corny, Sajid Nadiadwala’s fifth instalment of the franchise flirts with disaster. As always, the film is high on the glamour quotient, creating some thinly veiled sexual humour.

===1994 Koothuparamba firing===
Chandrasekhar's appointment has drawn public discussion about the 1994 Koothuparamba firing in Kannur district, in which five Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) activists were killed. As then-Assistant Superintendent of Police, he was one of the senior officers present at the scene. Criminal proceedings against all the police officers in the case were later quashed by the Kerala High Court.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kerala's new DGP appointment puts 1994 Koothuparamba firing back in focus |newspaper=The Indian Express |date=2 July 2025 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/keralas-new-dgp-appointment-1994-koothuparamba-firing-10101487/ |access-date=16 November 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Jacob |first=Jeemon |date=2025-07-01 |title=What new Kerala DGP Ravada Chandrasekhar means for CPI(M), poll-bound Kerala |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/what-new-kerala-dgp-ravada-chandrasekhar-means-for-cpim-poll-bound-kerala-2749051-2025-07-01 |access-date=2025-11-16 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-07-02 |title=With Kerala's new DGP appointment, why the 1994 Koothuparamba firing is being recalled |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/keralas-new-dgp-appointment-1994-koothuparamba-firing-10101487/ |access-date=2025-11-16 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

The show revolves around Anupamaa Shah, a homemaker whose family has a low opinion of her and whose husband cheats on her. She gains more self-respect and becomes more independent. She navigates relationships and societal expectations while on her path of personal growth.

==Plot==
Anupamaa is a middle-aged housewife who toils for her family but is always insulted by her husband, Vanraj, and her mother-in-law, Leela, for being uneducated. Anupamaa's constant emotional supports are her younger son, Samar, and her father-in-law, Hasmukh. However, on her 25th wedding anniversary, upon discovering that Vanraj has cheated on her with his colleague, Kavya, she feels heartbroken and sets out to create her identity. Meanwhile, Anupamaa's elder son, Paritosh, marries Kinjal, while Samar and Nandini, Kavya's niece, fall for each other. Anupamaa and Vanraj divorce, and he marries Kavya soon after her divorce from her husband, Aniruddh.

Anupamaa, along with Samar and Nandini, opens a dance academy due to their shared passion for dance. However, Nandini breaks up with Samar and leaves him forever because of her misunderstandings and insecurities towards him. Anupamaa later reconnects with her college classmate, Anuj Kapadia, who has been in love with her since her college days. Anupamaa eventually falls in love with Anuj, and they marry. Together, they adopt a girl, Chhoti Anu. Anupamaa struggles to balance her responsibilities between her two families. Amidst all this, Kinjal gives birth to a baby girl, Aarya, and learns that Paritosh has cheated on her, but they reconcile for the sake of their child. Anupamaa's daughter, Pakhi, marries Adhik, who is the younger brother and foster son of Anuj's sister-in-law, Barkha. Samar marries a rape victim, Dimple, who herself was divorced by her husband after her rape.

Later on, Chhoti Anu's biological mother, Maya, arrives and takes Chhoti Anu with her. Anuj and Anupamaa feel devastated on Anu's departure, and Anuj leaves Anupamaa to stay with Maya and Chhoti Anu. Maya and Barkha conspire to keep Anuj and Anupamaa apart. Later on, Anupamaa has a chance to be a part of Malti Devi's Academy, Gurukul. Malti Devi is impressed with Anupamaa's hard work and dedication, and offers her a three-year contract to work with her and declares that she would be the heir of Gurukul. Maya realizes her mistake when she tries to separate Anuj and Anupamaa and asks for their forgiveness, but a truck hits her, and Maya dies. Before leaving for America, Anupamaa learns that Anu's health has deteriorated, and she rushes back to her. This angers Malti Devi, so she expels Anupamaa from her Gurukul. Meanwhile, Kavya is pregnant with Aniruddh's child, and Vanraj learns about that and avoids her. Later on, Anupamaa finds Malti Devi roaming in the streets, in a deteriorated condition, and brings her to her house. On Anuj's birthday, the entire family is shocked to know that Malti Devi is Anuj's biological mother, but Anuj refuses to accept her. Later on, Samar is murdered at a party, leaving behind Dimple, who is pregnant with his child. Anupamaa, Vanraj, and Anuj find out Samar's murderer and have him arrested. Paritosh, Kinjal, and Aarya move out of India.

Pakhi, Barkha, and Malti Devi instigate Chhoti Anu against Anupamaa, and she goes against her, whereas Dimple meets a dancer, Tapish, and they become friends. Vanraj tells Dimple to stay away from Tapish, or else he will keep Dimple's child away from her. Kinjal, Paritosh, and Aarya return to India to celebrate Aarya's first birthday. Anupamaa comes to meet Aarya, but Vanraj asks her to leave and tells her to never return to the house. Kavya also leaves the house after Vanraj tells her that her child has no place in this house. Malti Devi and Barkha collaborate to expel Anupamaa from Anuj's life and start instigating Chhoti Anu against Anupama. Anupamaa, Kinjal, Aarya, and Chhoti Anu go out for a picnic, but the car meets with an accident. Although Anupamaa rescues everyone, she is berated by Vanraj and Paritosh. Anupamaa decides to never return to the Shah house and returns to the Kapadia house. Chhoti Anu berates Anupamaa and avoids her. Anuj feels that Anupamaa has never paid attention to Chhoti Anu and the Kapadia family, and has always paid attention to the Shah family, and feels that he has married Anupamaa hastily. Anupamaa then decides to leave Anuj and Chhoti Anu forever and leaves the house. Anuj divorces Anupamaa and renames Chhoti Anu to Aadhya and leaves India.

British colonial rule in [[Burma]] lasted from 1824 to 1948, from the successive three [[Anglo-Burmese Wars]] through the creation of ''Burma'' as a [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|province of British India]] to the establishment of an independently administered colony separate from [[British Raj|British colonial India]], and finally independence. The region under British control was known as '''British Burma''', and officially known as '''Burma''' ({{langx|my|မြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော်|Mranmanuingngamtau |Great Country of [[Bamar people|the Mranma]]}})<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nam.gov.mm/bZbC18dI1w4gnSh.aspx?f=2S7Qjvep37x9oYvdeHbZbC18dI1w4gnShEfZzUqZHlv8EG6j1LGoboIH8uQ4fpGaNwgHdPbBE5XZy3sFmfzwxg== |title=Original Burmese version of Government of Burma Act, 1935, National Archieve of Myanmar |access-date=16 February 2023 |archive-date=9 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309153145/http://www.nam.gov.mm/bZbC18dI1w4gnSh.aspx?f=2S7Qjvep37x9oYvdeHbZbC18dI1w4gnShEfZzUqZHlv8EG6j1LGoboIH8uQ4fpGaNwgHdPbBE5XZy3sFmfzwxg== |url-status=live }}</ref> from 1886.<ref>Burmese part of the [https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proclamation_of_annexation_of_Burma_into_British_Empire.jpg Proclamation of annexation of Burma into British Empire in published in Mandalay on 4 January 1886]</ref>

Some portions of Burmese territories, including [[Rakhine State|Arakan]] and [[Tanintharyi Region|Tenasserim]], were annexed by the British after their victory in the [[First Anglo-Burmese War]]; [[Lower Myanmar|Lower Burma]] was annexed in 1852 after the [[Second Anglo-Burmese War]]. These territories were designated as a [[Chief Commissioner's Province|chief commissioner's province]] known as British Burma in 1862.<ref name="igi-iv-p29">{{Harvnb|Imperial Gazetteer of India vol. IV|1908|p=29}}</ref>

After the [[Third Anglo-Burmese War]] in 1885, [[Upper Myanmar|Upper Burma]] was annexed, and the following year, the province of ''Burma'' in [[British Raj|British ruled India]] was created, becoming a ''major'' province (a lieutenant-governorship) in 1897.<ref name="igi-iv-p29"/> This arrangement lasted until 1937, when Burma was separated from [[British Raj|British-ruled India]] and made a separate Crown Colony administered by the [[Burma Office]] under the [[Secretary of State for India|Secretary of State for India and Burma]]. British rule was disrupted during the [[Japanese occupation of Burma|Japanese occupation]] of much of the country during [[World War II]]. Burma achieved independence from British rule on 4 January 1948.

[[Burma]] is sometimes referred to as "the [[Scotland|Scottish]] Colony" owing to the considerable role played by Scots in colonising and running the country,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Becka |first=Jan |date=1993-03-01 |title=Scots in Burma: Golden Times in a Golden Land. |url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&issn=00224634&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CA14443543&sid=googleScholar&linkaccess=abs |journal=Journal of Southeast Asian Studies |language=English |volume=24 |issue=1 |pages=169–172}}</ref> one of the most notable being [[James George Scott|Sir James Scott]]. It was also known for the important role played by Indian immigrants in managing and administering the colony, especially while it was still part of British India; some historians have called this a case of co-colonialism, drawing attention to the rise of anti-Indian nationalism in Burma.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bowser |first1=Matthew J. |date=22 June 2020 |title=Partners in Empire?

{{History of Myanmar}}

{{Colonial India}}

== Before the British conquest ==
Because of its location, [[trade route]]s of [[Southeast Asia]] passed through the country, keeping Burma wealthy through trade, although self-sufficient agriculture was still the basis of the economy. Indian merchants travelled along the coasts and rivers (especially the [[Irrawaddy River]]) throughout the regions where the majority of Burmese lived, resulting in the assimilation of many Indians into the Bamar population.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} As Burma had been one of the first [[Southeast Asia]]n countries to adopt [[Buddhism]] on a large scale, it continued under the British as the officially patronised religion of most of the population.<ref>For the history of all major religious groups in Burma and modern Myanmar, see [[Religion in Myanmar]].</ref>

The ruling [[Konbaung dynasty]] practised a tightly centralised form of government. The king was the chief executive with the final say on all matters, but he could not make new laws and could only issue administrative edicts. The country had two codes of law, the [[Dhammasattha|Dhammathat]] and the [[Pyidaungsu Hluttaw#Pre-colonial era|Hluttaw]], the centre of government, was divided into three branches—fiscal, executive, and judicial. In theory, the king was in charge of all of the Hluttaw, but none of his orders got put into place until the Hluttaw approved them, thus checking his power. Further dividing the country, provinces were ruled by governors, who were appointed by the Hluttaw, and villages were ruled by hereditary headmen approved by the king.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica">Encyclopædia Britannica</ref>

==Arrival of the British==
{{See also|Britons in Myanmar}}[[File:Battle of rangoon.jpg|thumb|British naval forces entering the harbour of [[Rangoon]] in May 1824]]
Conflict began between Burma and the British when the Konbaung dynasty decided to expand into Arakan in the state of [[Assam]], close to British-held [[Chittagong]] in India. This led to the [[First Anglo-Burmese War]] (1824–26). The British dispatched a large seaborne expedition that took [[Yangon|Rangoon]] without a fight in 1824. In [[Danubyu Township|Danuphyu]], at the Ayeyarwaddy Delta, Burmese General [[Maha Bandula]] was killed and his armies routed. Burma was forced to cede Assam and other northern provinces.<ref name="World Book Encyclopedia">World Book Encyclopedia</ref> The 1826 [[Treaty of Yandabo]] formally ended the First Anglo-Burmese War, the longest and the most expensive war in the history of [[British India]]. Fifteen thousand European and Indian soldiers died, together with an unknown number of Burmese army and civilian casualties.<ref>{{cite book | title=The Making of Modern Burma | url=https://archive.org/details/makingmodernburm00myin | url-access=limited | pages=[https://archive.org/details/makingmodernburm00myin/page/n27 18]| author=Thant Myint-U|year=2001|publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=0-521-79914-7}}</ref> The campaign cost the British between 5 and 13 million pounds sterling (between 18 and 48 billion in 2020 [[United States dollar|U.S. dollars]])<ref name=rlf-113>{{cite book | title=The River of Lost Footsteps—Histories of Burma | pages=113, 125–127| author=Thant Myint-U|year=2006|publisher=Farrar, Straus and Giroux |isbn=978-0-374-16342-6}}</ref> which led to an economic crisis in British India in 1833.<ref name=webster>{{cite book | title=Gentlemen Capitalists: British Imperialism in South East Asia, 1770–1890 | first=Anthony|last= Webster | publisher=I.B.Tauris | year=1998 | pages=142–145 | isbn=978-1-86064-171-8}}</ref>

In 1852, the [[Second Anglo-Burmese War]] was provoked by the British, who sought the [[teak]] forests in Lower Burma as well as a port between [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] and [[Singapore]].{{cn|date=November 2024}} After 25 years of peace, British and Burmese fighting started afresh and continued until the British occupied all of Lower Burma. The British were victorious in this war and as a result obtained access to the [[Economy of Myanmar#British Burma (1885–1948)|teak, oil, and rubies]] of their newly conquered territories.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

In Upper Burma, the still unoccupied part of the country, King [[Mindon Min|Mindon]] had tried to adjust to the thrust of imperialism. He enacted administrative reforms and made Burma more receptive to foreign interests. But the British initiated the [[Third Anglo-Burmese War]], which lasted less than two weeks during November 1885. The British government justified their actions by claiming that the last independent king of Burma, [[Thibaw Min]], was a tyrant and that he was conspiring to give [[French colonial empire#Evolution in the use of the term Empire between the years of 1870–1939|France]] more influence in the country. British troops entered [[Mandalay]] on 28 November 1885. Thus, after three wars gaining various parts of the country, the British occupied all the area of present-day Myanmar, making the territory a province of British India on 1 January 1886.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" /><ref name="DIB">{{cite book|title=Dictionary of Indian Biography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y8AKI2nqPBQC|publisher=Ardent Media|year=1906|id=GGKEY:BDL52T227UN|page=82}}</ref>

==Early British rule==
[[Burmese resistance movement 1885–95|Burmese armed resistance continued sporadically for several years]], and the British commander had to coerce the High Court of Justice to continue to function. Though war officially ended after only a couple of weeks, resistance to colonial conquest continued in northern Burma until 1890, with the British choosing to systematically destroy villages and appoint new officials to quash the liberation movement.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

Traditional Burmese society was drastically altered by the demise of the monarchy and the separation of religion and state.{{cn|date=November 2024}} Intermarriage between Europeans and Burmese gave birth to an indigenous Eurasian community known as the [[Anglo-Burmese people|Anglo-Burmese]] who would come to dominate the colonial society, hovering above the Burmese but below the British.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

After Britain took over all of Burma, they continued to send tribute to Chinese officials to avoid offending them, but this unknowingly lowered the status they held in Chinese minds.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/chinahermysterie00stearich|quote=Burma was a tributary state of China, and for fear of hurting Chinese feelings the British continued for some time to forward the tribute to Peking.|title=China and her mysteries|author=Alfred Stead|year=1901|publisher=Hood, Douglas, & Howard|location=LONDON|page=[https://archive.org/details/chinahermysterie00stearich/page/100 100]|access-date=19 February 2011}} (from the University of California)</ref> It was agreed at the Burma convention in 1886 that China would recognise Britain's occupation of [[Upper Burma]], while the British government continued the Burmese payment of tribute every ten years to Peking.<ref>{{cite book|author=William Woodville Rockhill|url=https://archive.org/details/chinasintercour01rockgoog|title=China's intercourse with Korea from the XVth century to 1895|publisher=Luzac & Co.|year=1905|location=LONDON|page=[https://archive.org/details/chinasintercour01rockgoog/page/n11 5]|quote=tribute china.|access-date=19 February 2011}}(Colonial period Korea; WWC-5)(Original from the University of California)</ref>

===Administration===
The British controlled their new province through [[wikt:direct rule|direct rule]] in the Burmese heartland, making many changes to the previous governmental structure. For example, Burmans lived under a British-style legal code and were governed by a British-style civil service. Areas outside the central plains were governed indirectly through their traditional structures. In this way, ethnic differences between the majority Burmans of the central plain and the ethnic minorities in the hills were exacerbated. This was part of the British colonial practice of "divide and rule".<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=http://www.culturalorientation.net/content/download/1338/7825/version/2/file/refugeesfromburma.pdf |title=Refugees from Burma: Their Backgrounds and Refugee Experiences |publisher=Center for Applied Linguistics |year=2007 |series=Culture Profile 21 |location=Washington, D.C.}}</ref>{{Rp|page=6}} The monarchy was abolished, King [[Thibaw Min|Thibaw]] sent into exile, and religion and state separated. This was particularly harmful, because the Buddhist monks, collectively known as the [[Sangha]], were strongly dependent on the sponsorship of the monarchy. At the same time, the monarchy was given legitimacy by the Sangha, and monks as representatives of Buddhism gave the public the opportunity to understand national politics to a greater degree.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" />

The [[British Raj]] also implemented a [[secular education]] system. The colonial Government of British India, which was given control of the new colony, founded secular schools, teaching in both English and [[Burmese language|Burmese]], while also encouraging Christian missionaries to visit and found schools. In both of these types of schools, Buddhism and traditional Burmese culture was frowned upon.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" />

The Christian missionaries had success in converting some of the minority ethnic groups to Christianity, particularly the Chin, Kachin, Karen and Karenni. Furthermore, missionaries built hospitals and schools which, in the minority ethnic areas, spurred the development of writing systems for their languages, which allowed for the promotion of social progress, education and culture.<ref name=":0" />

The British abolished chattel slavery in Burma. This was however a gradual process. In the report of slavery in Burma and India to the [[Temporary Slavery Commission]] in the 1920s, the British [[India Office]] stated that the slaves in Assam Bawi in Lushai Hills were now secured the right to buy their freedom; that chattel slavery still existed in parts of Assam with weak British control; that the British negotiated with Hukawng Valley in Upper Burma to end slavery there, where the British provided loans for slaves to buy their freedom; that all slave trade had been banned, and that slavery in Upper Burma was expected to be effectively phased out by 1926.<ref>Miers, S.

==Administrative divisions==
[[File:Burma_Province_1931.png|thumb|upright=1.3|Administrative map of the [[Burma Province]], 1931]]
The province of Burma after 1885 was administered as follows:{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}}
# Ministerial Burma (Burma proper)
# [[Tenasserim Division]] ([[Taungoo District|Toungoo]], [[Thaton District|Thaton]], [[Kyaikkhami|Amherst]], [[Papun|Salween]], [[Dawei District|Tavoy]], and [[Mergui District]]s)
# [[Rakhine State|Arakan Division]] ([[Sittwe District|Akyab]], [[Paletwa Township|Arakan Hill]], [[Kyaukpyu District|Kyaukpyu]] and [[Thandwe District|Sandoway Districts]])
# [[Pegu Division]] ([[Yangon|Insein]], [[Thanlyin Township|Hanthawaddy]], [[Bago District|Pegu]], [[Tharrawaddy District|Tharrawaddy]] and [[Pyay District|Prome Districts]])
# [[Irrawaddy Division]] ([[Pathein District|Bassein]], [[Hinthada District|Henzada]], [[Thayet District|Thayetmyo]], [[Ma-ubin District|Maubin]], [[Myaungmya District|Myaungmya]] and [[Pyapon District]]s)
# [[Scheduled Areas]] (Frontier Areas)
# [[Shan State]]s
# [[Chin State|Chun tracts]]
# [[Kachin State|Kachin tracts]]

The "[[Frontier Areas]]", also known as the "Excluded Areas" or the "[[Scheduled Areas]]", compose the majority of [[Administrative divisions of Myanmar|states]] within Burma today. They were administered separately by the British with a Burma Frontier Service and later united with Burma proper to form Myanmar's geographic composition today. The Frontier Areas were inhabited by ethnic minorities such as the [[Chin people|Chin]], the [[Shan people|Shan]], the [[Jingpo people|Kachin]] and the [[Karen people|Karenni]].

By 1931, Burma had 8 divisions, split into a number of districts.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}}

===Economy===
The traditional Burmese economy was one of [[Distribution (economics)|redistribution]] with the prices of the most important commodities set by the state. For the majority of the population, trade was not as important as self-sufficient agriculture, but the country's position on major trade routes from India to China meant that it did gain a significant amount of money from facilitating foreign trade. With the arrival of the British, the Burmese economy became tied to global market forces and was forced to become a part of the colonial export economy.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" />
[[File:Burma024.jpg|thumb|An image of [[Deforestation in Myanmar|deforestation]] in Burma taken by a [[Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation]] official.]]
Burma's annexation ushered in a new period of economic growth. The economic nature of society also changed dramatically. The British began exploiting the rich soil of the land around the Irrawaddy delta and cleared away the dense [[mangrove]] forests. Rice, which was in high demand in Europe, especially after the building of the [[Suez Canal]] in 1869, was the main export. To increase the production of rice, many Burmese migrated from the northern heartland to the delta, shifting the population concentration and changing the basis of wealth and power.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" />

To prepare the new land for cultivation, farmers borrowed money from Indian Tamil moneylenders called [[Chettiars]] at high interest rates, as British banks would not grant [[Mortgage loan|mortgages]]. The Indian moneylenders offered mortgage loans but foreclosed on them quickly if the borrowers defaulted.

At the same time, thousands of Indian labourers migrated to Burma ([[Burmese Indians]]) and, because of their willingness to work for less money, quickly displaced Burmese farmers. As the Encyclopædia Britannica states: "Burmese villagers, unemployed and lost in a disintegrating society, sometimes took to petty theft and robbery and were soon characterized by the British as lazy and undisciplined. The level of dysfunction in Burmese society was revealed by the dramatic rise in homicides."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Myanmar|title=Myanmar – The initial impact of colonialism|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2019-12-17|archive-date=4 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504062055/https://www.britannica.com/place/Myanmar|url-status=live}}</ref>

With this quickly growing economy came industrialisation to a certain degree, with a railway being built throughout the valley of the Irrawaddy, and hundreds of steamboats travelled along the river. All of these modes of transportation were owned by the British. Thus, although the balance of trade was in favour of British Burma, the society was changed so fundamentally that many people did not gain from the rapidly growing economy.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica" />

The civil service was largely staffed by Anglo-Burmese and Indians, and the ethnic Burmese were excluded almost entirely from military service, which was staffed primarily with Indians, Anglo-Burmese, Karens and other Burmese minority groups. A British General Hospital Burmah was set up in Rangoon in 1887.<ref>Service record held in Army Medical Service Museum, Aldershot, page 145, return no 5155.</ref> Though the country prospered, the Burmese people largely failed to reap the rewards. (See [[George Orwell]]'s novel ''[[Burmese Days]]'' for a fictional account of the British in Burma.) An account by a British official describing the conditions of the Burmese people's livelihoods in 1941 describes the Burmese hardships:

<blockquote>“Foreign landlordism and the operations of foreign moneylenders had led to increasing exportation of a considerable proportion of the country’s resources and to the progressive impoverishment of the agriculturist and of the country as a whole…. The peasant had grown factually poorer and unemployment had increased….The collapse of the Burmese social system led to a decay of the social conscience which, in the circumstances of poverty and unemployment caused a great increase in crime.”<ref>{{Cite journal |jstor = 20067745|title = The Withdrawal of the Last British Residency from Upper Burma in 1879|journal = Journal of Southeast Asian History|volume = 10|issue = 2|pages = 253–278|last1 = Chew|first1 = Ernest|year = 1969|doi = 10.1017/S0217781100004403}}</ref>

==Burmese nationalism==
=== Early days ===
By early twentieth century, a nationalist movement began to take shape in the form of the [[Young Men's Buddhist Association (Burma)|Young Men's Buddhist Association]] (YMBA), formed in 1906, modelled after the [[YMCA]], as religious associations were allowed by the colonial authorities.<ref name="ms" /> They began to establish a number of schools through private donations and government grants.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Aung-Thwin |first=Michael Arthur |date=9 December 2025 |title=The emergence of nationalism |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Myanmar/The-emergence-of-nationalism#ref986261 |access-date=10 December 2025 |website=Britannica}}</ref> The YMBA was later superseded by the [[General Council of Burmese Associations]] (GCBA) which was linked with ''Wunthanu athin'' or National Associations that sprang up in villages throughout Burma.<ref name="ms">{{cite book|author=Martin Smith|year=1991|title=Burma – Insurgency and the Politics of Ethnicity|publisher=Zed Books|location=London and New Jersey|pages=49, 91, 50, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58–59, 60, 61, 60, 66, 65, 68, 69, 77, 78, 64, 70, 103, 92, 120, 176, 168–169, 177, 178, 180, 186, 195–197, 193, 202, 204, 199, 200, 270, 269, 275–276, 292–3, 318–320, 25, 24, 1, 4–16, 365, 375–377, 414}}</ref> Between 1900 and 1911 the "Irish Buddhist" [[U Dhammaloka]] publicly challenged Christianity and imperial power, leading to two trials for [[sedition]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Turner |first=Alicia |date=2010 |title=The Irish Pongyi in Colonial Burma: The confrontations and challenges of U Dhammaloka |url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14639947.2010.530070 |journal=Contemporary Buddhism |language=en |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=149–171 |doi=10.1080/14639947.2010.530070 |issn=1463-9947|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

A new generation of Burmese leaders arose in the early twentieth century from amongst the educated classes, some of whom were permitted to go to London to study law.{{cn|date=November 2024}} They returned with the belief that the Burmese situation could be improved through reform. Progressive constitutional reform in the early 1920s led to a legislature with limited powers, a university and more autonomy for Burma within the administration of India.{{cn|date=November 2024}} Efforts were undertaken to increase the representation of Burmese in the civil service. Some people began to feel that the rate of change was not fast enough and the reforms not extensive enough.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

[[File:Districtcourts publicoffices rangoon1868.jpg|thumb|District Courts and Public Offices, Strand Road, Rangoon, 1868. Photographer J. Jackson]]Social discontent was also on the rise in the 1920s mainly against being disadvantaged in relation to the Indian and Chinese migrants who were financially better. Local population felt strongly against being economically exploited though the communities lived relatively at peace with each other.<ref name=":2" /> In 1909 minor changes were made to the Burmese constitution vis-a-vis major reforms to the Indian constitution. Further changes in 1920 aimed to ignore reforms in Burma which led to nationwide protests spearheaded by the barristers.<ref name=":1" />

In 1920 a student strike broke out in protest against the new University Act which the students believed would only benefit the elite and perpetuate colonial rule. 'National Schools' sprang up across the country in protest against the colonial education system, and the strike came to be commemorated as '[[Public holidays in Myanmar|National Day]]'.<ref name="ms" /> There were further strikes and anti-tax protests in the later 1920s led by the ''Wunthanu athin''s. Prominent among the political activists were Buddhist monks (''hpongyi''), such as U Ottama and U Seinda in the Arakan who subsequently led an armed rebellion against the British and later the nationalist government after independence, and U Wisara, the first martyr of the movement to die after a protracted hunger strike in prison.<ref name="ms" />

=== The rise ===
In December 1930, a local tax protest by [[Saya San]] in Tharrawaddy quickly grew into first a regional and then a national insurrection against the government. Lasting for two years, the [[Galon Rebellion]], named after the mythical bird [[Garuda]] – enemy of the [[Nāga|Nagas]] i.e. the British – emblazoned on the pennants the rebels carried, required thousands of British troops to suppress along with promises of further political reform. The eventual trial of Saya San, who was executed, allowed several future national leaders, including Dr [[Ba Maw]] and [[U Saw]], who participated in his defence, to rise to prominence.<ref name="ms"/>

During the [[1930 Rangoon riots|1930 Rangoon riot]], the ''[[Dobama Asiayone]]'' (We Burmans Association) was founded, whose members called themselves ''thakin'' (an ironic name as ''thakin'' means "master" in the Burmese language – rather like the Indian 'sahib' – proclaiming that they were the true masters of the country entitled to the term usurped by the colonial masters).<ref name="ms"/> The second university student strike in 1936 was triggered by the expulsion of [[Aung San]] and [[Thakin Nu|Ko Nu]], leaders of the [[University of Yangon|Rangoon University]] Students Union, for refusing to reveal the name of the author who had written an article in their university magazine, making a scathing attack on one of the senior university officials. It spread to Mandalay leading to the formation of the All Burma Students Union. Aung San and Nu subsequently joined the Thakin movement progressing from student to national politics.<ref name="ms"/>

[[Archibald Cochrane (politician)|Archibald Cochrane]] was appointed it governor <ref name=":3" /> and the reforms were celebrated across the nation initially.<ref name=":2" /> Soon, this proved to be a divisive issue as some Burmese felt that this was a ploy to exclude them from any further Indian reforms. [[Ba Maw]] served as the first prime minister of Burma, but he was forced out by [[U Saw]] in 1939, who served as prime minister from 1940 until he was arrested on 19 January 1942 by the British for communicating with the Japanese.

A wave of strikes and protests that started from the oilfields of central Burma in 1938 became a general strike with far-reaching consequences. In Rangoon student protesters, after successfully picketing the Secretariat, the seat of the colonial government, were charged by the British mounted police wielding batons and killing a Rangoon University student. In Mandalay, the police shot into a crowd of protesters led by Buddhist monks killing 17 people. The movement became known as ''Htaung thoun ya byei ayeidawbon'' (the '[[1300 Revolution]]' named after the Burmese calendar year),<ref name="ms"/> and 20 December, the day the first martyr Aung Kyaw fell, commemorated by students as '[[Bo Aung Kyaw Day]]'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.burmalibrary.org/reg.burma/archives/199912/msg00642.html|title=The Statement on the Commemoration of Bo Aung Kyaw|publisher=All Burma Students League|date=19 December 1999|access-date=23 October 2006|archive-date=25 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025132939/http://burmalibrary.org/reg.burma/archives/199912/msg00642.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

==World War II==
{{Main|Japanese occupation of Burma}}

{{see also|Japanese invasion of Burma|Burma Campaign|Saharat Thai Doem}}
The [[Empire of Japan]] invaded Burma in December 1941 and by the end of 1942 controlled much of the colony. In 1943 the [[State of Burma]] was proclaimed in Rangoon, with the government run as a [[puppet state]] under Japanese control, led by head of state [[Ba Maw]] who escaped from prison in April 1942. Japan never succeeded in fully conquering all of the colony, however, and insurgent activity was pervasive, though not as much of an issue as it was in other former colonies. By 1945, British-led troops, mainly from the [[British Indian Army]], had regained control over most of the colony with Rangoon being recaptured in May 1945.[[File:The_British_Army_in_Burma_1944_SE2911.jpg|thumb|right|The [[British Army]] in Burma 1944]]
==After Japanese surrender ==
The surrender of the Japanese brought a military administration to Burma. The British administration sought to try Aung San and other members of the British Indian Army for treason and collaboration with the Japanese.<ref>{{cite book | title=The Political Theory of Tyranny in Singapore and Burma | url=https://archive.org/details/politicaltheoryt00mcca | url-access=limited | publisher=Routledge | author=Stephen Mccarthy | year=2006 | page=[https://archive.org/details/politicaltheoryt00mcca/page/n165 153]| isbn=0-415-70186-4}}</ref> [[Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma|Lord Mountbatten]] knew that a trial was an impossibility considering Aung San's popular appeal.<ref name="ms"/> After the war ended, the British governor, [[Colonel (United Kingdom)|Colonel]] [[Reginald Dorman-Smith|Sir Reginald Dorman-Smith]], returned. The restored government established a political programme that focused on the physical reconstruction of the country and delayed discussion of independence. The [[Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League]] (AFPFL) opposed the government leading to political instability in the country. A rift had also developed in the AFPFL between the [[Communist Party of Burma|communists]] and Aung San together with the socialists over strategy, which led to Than Tun being forced to resign as general secretary in July 1946 and the expulsion of the CPB from the AFPFL the following October.<ref name="ms"/>

Dorman-Smith was replaced by [[Major General (United Kingdom)|Major-General]] [[Hubert Rance|Sir Hubert Rance]] as the new governor, and the Rangoon police went on strike. The strike, starting in September 1946, then spread from the police to government employees and came close to becoming a general strike. Rance calmed the situation by meeting with Aung San and convincing him to join the governor's Executive Council along with other members of the AFPFL.<ref name="ms"/> The new executive council, which now had increased credibility in the country, began negotiations for Burmese independence, which were concluded successfully in London as the Aung San-[[Clement Attlee|Attlee]] Agreement on 27 January 1947.<ref name="ms"/>

The agreement left parts of the communist and conservative branches of the AFPFL dissatisfied, sending the [[Communist Party (Burma)|Red Flag Communists]] led by [[Thakin Soe]] underground and the conservatives into opposition. Aung San also succeeded in concluding an agreement with ethnic minorities for a unified Burma at the [[Panglong Conference]] on 12 February, celebrated since as 'Union Day'.<ref name="ms"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/docs/panglong_agreement.htm|title=The Panglong Agreement, 1947|publisher=Online Burma/Myanmar Library|access-date=22 December 2006|archive-date=20 February 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220060245/http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/docs/panglong_agreement.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Shortly after, rebellion broke out in the Arakan led by the veteran monk U Seinda, and it began to spread to other districts.<ref name="ms"/> The popularity of the AFPFL, dominated by Aung San and the socialists, was eventually confirmed when it won an overwhelming victory in the April 1947 constituent assembly elections.<ref name="ms"/>

== Aung San's assassination ==
On 19 July 1947, U Saw, a conservative pre-war prime minister of Burma, engineered the assassination of Aung San and several members of his cabinet including his eldest brother [[Ba Win]], the father of today's [[National League for Democracy]] exile-government leader Dr [[Sein Win (Burmese government in exile)|Sein Win]], while meeting in the Secretariat.<ref name="ms" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irrawaddy.org/database/1997/vol5.4.5/aungsan.html|title=Who Killed Aung San? – an interview with Gen.

[[Thakin Nu]], the Socialist leader, was now asked to form a new cabinet, and he presided over Burmese independence instituted under the [[Burma Independence Act 1947]] on 4 January 1948. Burma chose to become a fully independent republic, and not a [[British Dominion]] upon independence. This was in contrast to the independence of India and Pakistan which both resulted in the attainment of dominion status. This may have been on account of anti-British popular sentiment being strong in Burma at the time.<ref name="ms" />

== Colonial independence ==
{{Main|Union of Burma (1948–1962)}}

Burma became an independent [[republic]] on 4 January 1948. Civil war broke out just three months after independence. This [[Myanmar conflict|conflict]] has continued under various guises to the present day.

== Production ==
''Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari'' was written and directed by P. Neelakantan, and produced by B. R. Panthulu under Padmini Pictures. The film became embroiled in a plagiarism controversy; playwright Vedam Venkataraya Sastri accused the makers of lifting the plot from his Telugu play ''Vyamoham''.<ref name="hindu" /> A notice was sent via lawyer N. K. Mohanrangam Pillai to Panthulu, who offered compensation to Sastri to avoid creating trouble before the film's release. Sastri wanted his name to be shown in the film's credits, but this request was outrightly refused by Panthulu. Sastri filed a copyright infringement case with Mohanrangam Pillai as his lawyer, but ultimately lost the case even after appealing.<ref name="hindu2" /> A few sequences from the 1952 [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film ''[[Pasher Bari]]'' were reported to have been copied in bits in this film.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vamanan |date=23 April 2018 |title=Tamil cinema's bong connection |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/tracking-indian-communities/tamil-cinemas-bong-connection/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228093357/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/tracking-indian-communities/tamil-cinemas-bong-connection/ |archive-date=28 February 2019 |access-date=29 September 2020 |website=[[The Times of India]] |author-link=Vamanan}}</ref>

== Plot ==
The film starts with Musallapadu Nagabhushanam ([[Mukesh Rishi]]) arranging his daughter's marriage where two men ([[Ajay (actor)|Ajay]] and Bharani) try to kill him. He manages to escape.

The film shifts to Hyderabad where Nandu ([[N. T. Rama Rao Jr.]]), a jovial student, lives with his parents ([[Tanikella Bharani]]) and ([[Pragathi (actress)|Pragathi]]). He falls for Akarsha ([[Samantha Akkineni|Samantha Ruth Prabhu]]), and tries to get close to her through his neighbour Asha Jyothi ([[Vidyullekha Raman]]) by blackmailing her. As his plan fails, he gets closer to Akarsha's grandmother Baby Shalini ([[Rohini Hattangadi]]). Akarsha slowly starts to fall for him. Four of them leave to Akarsha's sister's marriage, who is revealed to be Nagabhushanam's daughter.

At the wedding, Nagabhushanam is attacked. To save himself, Nagabhushanam asks Nandu for help. Eventually, Nandu kills him, asking him to remember a mysterious girl Ammulu at Adityapuram.

After the murder, Nandu makes sure that no clues are left at the spot. The investigating officer Avinash ([[Rao Ramesh]]) finds that Nandu is behind the murders. When Avinash tries to arrest Nandu, he kidnaps Akarsha at gunpoint and escapes. When she asks him why he murdered her father, he reveals his past. Nandu's real name is Ramu, who fell in love with Ammulu ([[Shruti Haasan]]), a resident of Adityapuram village. Nandu's parents were actually Ammulu's parents. Both their families are in approval of their marriage. Meanwhile, Nagabhushanam, along with Home Minister Umapathi ([[Kota Srinivasa Rao]]) and his son Bhikshapathi ([[P. Ravi Shankar]]), plans to grab a land that was very fertile. Bhikshapathi is a womanizer and lusts over Ammulu during their confrontation. When he misbehaves with her, he is attacked by Ramu.

Later, Ammulu and Ramu's marriage is fixed by her parents and Ramu's grandfather Raja Rao Bahadur Ramchandra Naidu ([[Nagineedu]]). During the preparations, Nagabhushanam's son Vicky (Bharath Raju) and some more goons attack Ammulu. Nagabhushanam's son kills Ammulu, and Ramu loses her and his near and dear ones. Ramu then kills Vicky in retaliation. He moves to Hyderabad along with Ammulu's parents and changes his name to Nandu. He later leaves her safely at her home through his friends. Ramu and his brothers killed Nagabhushanam to lure Bhikshapathi out of hiding. In order to seek revenge, through a girl ([[Hamsa Nandini]]), Ramu plans to invite Bhikshapathi to a youth fest as the chief guest. Bhikshapathi lusts at her and accepts to attend. There, he sees Ramu and plans to attack him with his henchmen, but he escapes. Later, he informs Bhikshapathi that he kidnapped Umapathi and challenges him to face him at Adityapuram. Ramu reminds Bhikshapathi about Ammulu's death and kills him with a [[plough]]. Umapathi doesn't bear to see this and dies because of heart attack. The film ends with Nandu starting a trust in the name of his mother in the village and Akarsha teaching the children there.

His capital was at [[Junagadh]]. He was a contemporary of [[Jayasimha Siddharaja]], the [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukya]] ruler of [[Anhilwad Patan|Anahilapataka]]. According to bardic legends, Jayasimha attacked during his reign and he was defeated and became is vassal. He moved capital to Junagadh. He was succeeded by [[Khengara (12th century king)|Khengara]] who had vowed to take revenge.

==Defeat by Jayasimha Siddharaja==
Jayasimha's [[Dahod]] inscription (VS 1196/1140 CE) boasts that he imprisoned the king of Saurashtra; this is most probably a reference to his victory over Khengara. In ''Siddha-Haima-Shabdanushasana'', [[Hemachandra]] has given two examples of grammar mentioning Jayasimha's victory over Saurashtra. The verses attributed to Ramachandra, disciple Hemachandra, in ''[[Prabandha-Chintamani]]'' of [[Merutunga]], Jayasimha is referred as ''Giridurgamalla'', i. e. the "Champion of the Giridurga or [[Junagadh]]". The ''Prabandhachintamani'' also mentions Jayasimha's victory over Saurashtra.<ref name=AKM/><ref name=IAMJV>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.3740|title=Kavyanushasana by Acharya Hemachandra|last=Parikh|first=Rasiklal C.|author-link=Rasiklal Parikh|publisher=Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya|year=1938|volume=II Part I|location=Bombay|pages=CLXXVIII-CLXXXIII|chapter=Introduction}}</ref><ref name=BG1>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.280094|title=Gazetteer Of The Bombay Presidency: History of Gujarat|last=Campbell|first=James Macnabb|publisher=The Government Central Press|year=1896|volume=I.

Jain chronicler Prabhachandra, in ''Prabhavaka-charitra'', mentions that Jayasimha had first dispatched an army led by Kirtipala (brother of [[Kumarapala (Chaulukya dynasty)|Kumarapala]]) to attack Navaghana. When this army was unsuccessful, another force led by Udayana was dispatched in its support. This joint army defeated Navagaha, but Udayana was killed in the battle.<ref name=AKM/>

Gulab Chandra Chaudhary opines that Merutunga, in ''Prabandha-chintamani,'' wrongly identifies Navaghana with Khengara; mentioning Navaghana in prose and [[Khengara (12th century king)|Khengara]] in verses while all other sources mention Khengara.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.49663|title=Political History Of Northern India from Jain Sources (c. 650 A.D. to 1300 A.D.)|last=Chaudhary|first=Gulab Chandra|publisher=Sohanlal Jaindharma Pracharak Samiti|year=1954|location=Amritsar|pages=[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.49663/page/n273 249]-251}}</ref> Based on the multiple tales and Navaghna's confusion with Khengara, Campbell theorises that Jayasimha might have led multiple expeditions against the more than one king with similar names.<ref name="Sankalia1941">{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.282975/2015.282975.The-Archaeology|title=The Archaeology of Gujarat: Including Kathiawar|last=Sankalia|first=H.

=== ''Prabandha-chintamani''<nowiki/>'s Navaghana ===

In ''Prabandha-chintamani'', Merutunga has given following account of Navaghana but it may be applied to Khengara if his identification in incorrect:

Navaghana is mentioned as the '' Ranaka'', similar to Hemachandra's reference to [[Graharipu]] in ''Dvyashraya''. Merutunga claims in his prose that Navaghana defeated Jayasimha eleven times, but Jayasimha went himself twelfth time after capturing newly fortified Vardhamanapura (now [[Wadhwan]]). Merutunga's claim cannot be taken literally: 12 was a favourite number of the Jain writers, and he may have used the number to emphasize the seriousness of the war. Jayasimha besieged Junagadh fort. Navaghana's nephews had agreed to show secret entry of the fort on condition that Jayasimha will not kill Navaghana with weapons but with coins which they meant that Jayasimha will only collect a tribute from him. When Jayasimha entered the fort, he captured Navaghana from his great palace in which he was hidden by his queen. He was not killed with weapons but he was beaten to death with vessels full of coins.<ref name=AKM>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ffAdAAAAMAAJ |title=Chaulukyas of Gujarat |first=Asoke Kumar |last=Majumdar |publisher=Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan |year=1956 |page=69 }}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.314113|title=Prabandhachintamani|last=Acharya |first=Merutunga |publisher=Singhi Jaina Granth Mala|year=1940|editor-last=Muni|editor-first=Jinvijayaji|editor-link=Jinvijay|series=3|volume=I|location=Ahmedabad-Culcatta|pages=76–77|language=hi|translator-last=Dwivedi|translator-first=Hajariprasadji|chapter=3}}</ref>

==== Bardic legends ====

===== Khengara's vows =====
The bardic tales says that Navaghana was defeated and insulted by Jayasimha who compelled him on one occasion to take grass in his mouth and make submission. Navaghana was also enraged against Harraj of Umeta on the [[Mahi River]] (also referred as Harraj Mahida) and contrived also to have a feud with the [[Vaghela dynasty|Vaghela]] of [[Bhoira]]. He was much displeased with a [[Charan]] named Mesan who had insulted him and thus he had vowed that he would split this Charan's cheeks.<ref name="GBP1884"/>

Navaghana had four sons; Shatrashalji, the founder of the houses of Bhadli, Sarva and Gamph; Devghanji and Savghanji who received the Osham Chorasi; and [[Khengara (12th century king)|Khengara]] who succeeded him.<ref name="GBP1884"/>

It is said that when Navaghana lay a dying his spirit would not pass from his frame until his sons would promise to perform four behests with which he charged them. These were; to slay Harraj of Umeta, to destroy the fort of Bhoira, to break down the gate of Anahilapataka (Patan) and to split the cheeks of a Charan named Mesan who had spoken disrespectfully of him. Khengar alone undertook to perform these four tasks and poured water into his father's hand as a token that he had sworn perform these deeds. Then Navaghana died. Khengara succeeded Navaghana and made Junagadh his capital, though often residing at Vanthali.<ref name="GBP1884"/>

When Khengara was informed that Jayasimha was absent in Anahilapataka warring in Malwa, he marched to Anahilapataka and broke down one of the gates. He carried off the wooden gates to Junagadh and put them up in the Kalve gateway at that town. He then advanced to Umeta killed Harraj and washed his blade in the Mahi River and on his return he passed by Bhoira and broke down the fortress thereof. When he returned to Junagadh, he sent for the Charan and filled his mouth with gold and jewels until he said, "My cheeks are split"; thus fulfilling the vow and afterwards he bestowed on him the village called after him Mesanka near [[Palitana]].<ref name="GBP1884"/><ref name="Parikh">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.325016/page/n163|title=ગુજરાતનો રાજકીય અને સાંસ્કૃતિક ઇતિહાસ: સોલંકી કાલ|last=Shastri|first=Keshavram Kashiram|publisher=Bholabhai Jeshingbhai Institute of Learning and Research|year=1977|editor-last=Parikh|editor-first=Rasiklal Chhotalal|editor-link=Rasiklal Parikh|series=Research Series - Book No. 69|volume=IV|location=[[Ahmedabad]]|pages=137–138|language=gu|trans-title=Political and Cultural History of Gujarat: Solanki Era|author-link=Keshavram Kashiram Shastri|editor-last2=Shastri|editor-first2=Hariprasad Gangashankar|editor-link2=Hariprasad Shastri}}</ref>

The breaking of gates of Anahilapataka had enraged Jayasimha and he later attacked Junagadh in which Khengara lost eventually.

==Dates and succession==
Based on the literature, it known that he was a contemporary of Jayasimha Siddharaja who reigned from c. 1092 – c. 1142 CE thus Navaghana must be reigning during the early years of his reign. He was succeeded by his son [[Khengara (12th century king)|Khengara]] according to bardic tales who is also mentioned in the literature related to Jayasimha.

According to the ''Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency'', Navaghana reigned from 1067-1098 CE and he was succeeded by his son Khengara. Though these dates are not reliable.<ref name="GBP1884"/>

== ''A Breath of Fresh Air'' (2002)==
In an interview, she spoke about the influences behind her first book, ''A Breath of Fresh Air'' (2002). While she was nine years old, her family was living in the Indian city of [[Bhopal]] because her father was posted in the Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. During that time, on the night of 3 December 1984, [[methyl isocyanate]] gas leaked from Bhopal's [[Union Carbide]] plant that killed many people. When this [[Bhopal disaster|gas tragedy]] occurred, her family and she were staying at the Army Center which was a few kilometers away from the plant. Due to the wind that blew in a direction opposite to theirs, they remained unaffected by the gas leak. However, she remembered how those affected described the methyl isocyanate gas as [[chili powder]] in their lungs. These images stayed with her and took the form of a story, which she wanted to tell but had no idea how to. While living in [[Utah]], the writing process for her first novel began.<ref name="amulya_rdgrndintw" /><ref name="amulya_bookbriwseintw">{{cite web|url=http://www.bookbrowse.com/author_interviews/full/index.cfm?author_number=791|title=A Note From Amulya Malladi|last=Malladi|first=Amulya|accessdate=2008-02-23}}</ref>

''[[SF Weekly]]'' wrote in its review about this book:
<blockquote>Amulya Malladi's gemlike first novel has a provocative, almost absurd concept. Built on too-familiar notions about womanhood, fidelity, and family ... But, the quality of Malladi's writing elevates ''Fresh Air'' well above standard-issue book-club fodder, and her strong control over plot helps her avoid the overwritten narrative drift that plagues most first novels. The prose ... is economical, more [[Raymond Carver]] than [[Bharati Mukherjee]]. Plainly told, Malladi's story is a fine study of the tenuous control we have over love and memory.<ref name="freshair_sfweekly">{{cite web|url=http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-07-31/culture/a-breath-of-fresh-air/|title=Book review: A Breath of Fresh Air|last=Athitakis |first=Mark|date=2002-07-31|accessdate=2008-02-23| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080221150254/http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-07-31/culture/a-breath-of-fresh-air/| archivedate= 21 February 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref></blockquote>

A review from the ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine said:
<blockquote>Malladi's subject is ... compelling the survivors of the Bhopal tragedy remain neglected and angry after 18 years. [Malladi] was a child in Bhopal when the disaster happened and wasn't affected because her house was upwind of the Carbide factory. The victims of the accident now total 14,000, a number Malladi humanizes by keeping her story intimate.<ref name="freshair_time">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.bookbrowse.com/reviews/index.cfm?book_number=1065|title=Book reviews: A Breath of Fresh Air |last=Hempel|first=Jessi|date=2002-07-31|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |via=[[BookBrowse]] |accessdate=2008-02-23}}</ref></blockquote>

== ''The Mango Season'' (2003)==
As to how Malladi came up with the title and names of the characters from ''The Mango Season'', she said in an interview that unless she has a title of the book she is writing, she cannot move on. Same is the case with the names of her characters from her works of literature.<ref name="mangoseason_raghupathi">{{cite web|url=http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780345450319&view=auqa|title=A Conversation with Amulya Malladi|last=Raghupathi|first=Priya|work=Random House Inc.|accessdate=2008-02-23}}</ref> Most of the influences on her characters came from her Hyderabad connection, which she corroborated by saying, "I think it's easier to write about a place you've lived in. The research element definitely shrinks and you can write more confidently. I also feel I have an obligation to write about a place I've lived in. I have moved a lot in my life, as a child and even as an adult, and I just feel that it would be such a waste if I wouldn't write about the places I have lived in."<ref name="mangoseason_raghupathi"/> She said that writing this book was like taking a trip to Hyderabad.<ref name="mangoseason_raghupathi"/>

A review from the ''[[Santa Monica Mirror]]'' said:
<blockquote>Amulya Malladi lays India out like a living picture before her readers. The smells curl out through the spine of the book, the tastes leave our throats burning with an unknown spice. The heat causes sweat to run down our backs, the curious sounds block the more familiar ones of cars and traffic from our ears.<ref name="mangoseason_santamonica">{{cite web|url=http://www.smmirror.com/volume5/issue14/books_in_the.asp|title=Mangoes vs. Big Macs|last=Stecher|first=Leah|work=Santa Monica Mirror|date=2003-09-23|accessdate=2008-02-23}}</ref></blockquote>

'''Sir Gurunath Venkatesh Bewoor''' [[Order of the Indian Empire|KCIE]], [[Indian Civil Service|ICS]] (20 November 1888 – 2 December 1950) was an Indian civil servant. He served on the [[Viceroy's Executive Council]] during the [[World War II]] and the first Indian director of the Post and Telegraph department of India. He later served as Managing Director of [[Air India]].

==Early life and education==

The family name comes from [[Bevoor]] village then part of [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur district]] of the old [[Bombay Presidency]] and now in the [[Bagalkot]] district of northern [[Karnataka]]. Gurunath Bewoor was born there on 20 November 1888 in a [[Deshastha Brahmin|Deshastha Madhva Brahmin]] family. He got his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Deccan College, Pune (then part of [[Bombay University]], and won the Dakshina Fellowship. His further education was [[Cambridge University]] following which he passed the [[Indian Civil Service (British India)|Indian Civil Service]] (ICS) entrance examination.

==Civil servant==

Bewoor joined the ICS in 1921 in the [[Central Provinces]] cadre. After a year of district service he was transferred to the Posts and Telegraphs Department in 1922. He served as Post Master General at Patna, Nagpur and Bombay. He was appointed a CIE in the [[1932 King's Birthday Honours]] List.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=33831 |date=31 May 1932 |page=3572 |supp=y |nolink=yes}}</ref> In 1934, he was appointed as the Director General of the Post and Telegraph Department of India; he was [[Knight Bachelor|knighted]] five years later,<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=34633 |date=6 June 1939 |page=3853 |supp=y |nolink=yes}}</ref> being officially invested as a Knight Bachelor on 20 June 1939 at [[Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi|Viceregal Lodge]], [[Shimla|Simla]], by the [[Governor-General of India|Viceroy of India]], [[Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow|Lord Linlithgow]].

In 1941, he was appointed Secretary, Posts and Air Department. Despite the pressures of World War II and the disruptions caused by the [[Quit India]] movement, Bewoor efficiently managed the communications infrastructure of Britain's Indian empire. Bewoor, along with others such as [[C.D. Deshmukh]], [[N. R. Pillai]], [[Y. N. Sukthankar]], [[R. K. Nehru]], [[H. M. Patel]], [[S. Jagannathan]], was a member of the [[Finance and Commerce Pool]] (FCP),<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/article1753620.ece |title=Finance and Commerce Pool: An old-is-gold idea |first=Sumit K. |last=Majumdar |work=[[The Hindu]]: Business Line |date=2 December 2006 |accessdate=19 June 2015}}</ref> an elite group of Indian administrators tasked with managing the economic, commercial, industrial and supply-related issues of the war in India.

In 1946 he reached the pinnacle of the British Raj as a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council under [[Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell|Lord Wavell]] and was appointed a KCIE ([[Knight Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire]]) in the [[1946 New Year Honours]] List.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=37407 |date=28 December 1945 |page=10 |nolink=yes}}</ref>

Bewoor was the originator of a formula known as the "Bewoor Time Test" to judge the efficiency of postal work. This was based on a report he authored for the postal department in 1929, similar to the [[time-and-motion studies]] of [[Frederick Winslow Taylor]].

==Aviation==

In 1944, he represented India at the [[International Civil Aviation Organization|ICAO Conference]] in Chicago. He was also a member of the [[United Nations]] Transport and Communications Commission.

Sir Gurunath Bewoor died unexpectedly in December 1950.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1950/1950%20-%202084.html |title=Obituaries |issue=2185 |volume=LVIII |page=520 |journal=[[Flight International|Flight]] |date=7 December 1950 |accessdate=19 June 2015}}</ref>

'''Mint Clock Tower''' is a standalone [[clock tower]] in [[George Town, Chennai|George Town]], [[Chennai]], [[India]]. It is one of the four standalone clock towers in Chennai, the other three being the ones at [[Royapettah]], [[Purasawalkam|Doveton]] and [[Pulianthoppu|Pulianthope]].<ref name="NIE_StopWatch">{{cite news

==History==
The first standalone clock tower in the city was built at [[Doveton, Chennai|Doveton Junction]] at [[Purasawalkam]] in the early 1900s. Before the tower was built, until the end of the 19th century, officers at [[Fort St. George, India|Fort St. George]] used to fire [[cannonball]]s at 8:00 p.m. every day. This practice, however, stopped after the construction of the first standalone clock tower. Following this, a similar tower was built at Mint Junction in George Town.<ref name="Hindu_ClockTowerTicksAgain">{{cite news

The clock at the tower was built by Gani and Sons, initially known as the South India Watch Company, which was started in 1909 by Haji Mirza Abdul Gani Namazi of Iranian descent. It is the company that also provided clocks for the independent clock towers at Royapettah, [[Choolai]] and [[Tiruvottiyur]] among others.<ref>{{cite news

==Location==
The clock tower is located at the Mint Junction, where [[Basin Bridge Road, Chennai|Basin Bridge Road]], [[North Wall Road, Chennai|North Wall Road]], [[Mint Street, Chennai|Mint Street]], and [[Old Jail Road, Chennai|Old Jail Road]] meet.

==Features==
The clock tower remains a classic example of [[art deco]] architecture in the city. The features of the clock tower include linear model, thin lines, high use of cement concrete, rich usage of colours and fewer floral engravings. The architectural style of the clock tower was influenced by the [[Industrial Revolution|Industrial]] and the [[French Revolution|French revolutions]], as were the other clock towers and cinema theatres built in the city in the 1900s.<ref name="Hindu_ClockTowerTicksAgain"/>

The tower is {{convert|60|ft}} high. Each of the dials on the clock is made of [[aluminium]] and measures {{convert|4|ft}} in diameter.<ref name="Hindu_ClockTowerTicksAgain"/> The clock has a [[pendulum]], a swinging weight, as its time-keeping element and runs on weight-driven mechanism. The internal mechanism consists of six iron plates tied to a metal rope, which are connected to a chain of wheels. As the wheels rotate, they move the iron plates down, moving the brass pointer on the dial.<ref name="Hindu_ClockTowerTicksAgain"/> The clock has to be manually wound using a spanner as key once every 30 hours.<ref name="NIE_StopWatch"/> The clock stops working, however, once the plates hit the floor. The plates are lifted manually once a week by keying it.<ref name="Hindu_ClockTowerTicksAgain"/>

==Renovation==
The clock had been defunct for several decades.<ref>{{cite web

{{History of Bihar}}
'''Chirand''' is an [[archaeological site]] in the [[Saran district]] of [[Bihar]], India, situated on the northern bank of the [[Ganga River]].

The excavations in Chirand have revealed stratified Neolithic, [[Chalcolithic]], and [[Iron Age]] settlements, and transitions in human habitation patterns dating from 2500 BC to 30 AD.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RIUZjYEuqskC&q=chirand+archaeological+site&pg=PA74|title=Historical dictionary of Ancient India|isbn=9780810853669|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730151838/https://books.google.com/books?id=RIUZjYEuqskC&pg=PA74&lpg=PA74&dq=chirand+archaeological+site&source=bl&ots=NrXsjoO-Bn&sig=bmlLDnlJlg6jEtJ1RhMbfMxVxKg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis8raU7OrSAhUBto8KHTorBgsQ6AEITzAI#v=onepage&q=chirand%20archaeological%20site&f=false|archive-date=30 July 2017|last1=Roy|first1=Kumkum|year=2009|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield }}</ref>

The river [[Ghaghara]] joins Ganga a short distance away from the village, near [[Revelganj]]. The [[Sone River]] also joins Ganga about a few kilometres away from Chirand. About {{Convert|2.5|km}} to the north of the mound there is a dry river bed which is inferred as one of the meandering dry loops of the [[Gandaki River]]. Thus, there are four rivers in the vicinity of Chirand. The village has undergone erosion due to which the mound abutting the Ganga River bank is exposed, revealing brick features and potsherds. On the top of the mound there is a [[mosque]], which was built by Sultan [[Abul Muzaffar Hussain Shah]] of [[Bengal]] in 1503 AD. This mosque reveals ruins of [[pilasters]] of [[Hindu]] temples.<ref name=Saran>{{Cite web|url=http://yac.bih.nic.in/Da-02.htm|title=Directorate of Archaeology|work=Chirand, Saran|publisher=National Informatics Centre|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525025802/http://yac.bih.nic.in/Da-02.htm|archive-date=25 May 2012}}</ref>

==Climate==
The average annual rainfall in the area is {{Convert|125|cm}}.{{Sfn|Peregrine|Ember|2003|p=128}} Much of the rainfall occurs from June to September when the monsoons tend to start.{{Sfn|Peregrine|Ember|2003|p=128}} The Ganga River tends to flow beyond capacity causing flooding and deposition of alluvium in the adjoining area.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}

===River erosion===
Part of the village, including about {{Convert|10|m}} of the mound, have been subject to submergence and river erosion caused by the Ganga river. The ''Nonia tola'' in the village was in imminent danger of getting submerged. In 2010, protection of the part of the village exposed to erosion was envisaged by way of stone pitching.<ref name=Singh/>

==History==
The [[Pala Empire|Pal dynasty]] ruled the region that included Chirand during the medieval period. [[Ananda]], a disciple of [[Buddha]], died in Chirand. King Mayurdhwaj of the [[Chero dynasty]] ruled from Chirand.<ref name=Singh/> [[William Wilson Hunter|W.W. Hunter]], a historian known for publishing nine volumes of [[The Imperial Gazetteer of India]], has recorded an account of this village which he visited in 1871.<ref name=Singh/>

The Bihar State Directorate of Archaeology conducted excavations at the Chirand mound 1962–63 and returned for more 1970–71. The mound is {{Convert|1|km}} in length. The Neolithic deposits uncovered a layer of {{Convert|3.5|m}} thickness.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}<ref name=Singh/>{{Sfn|Singh|2008|p=120}} The civilisation includes area in [[India]] and [[South Asia]] that dates back to the Neolithic age according to archaeological finds from this village mound and four other locations{{refn | name= four other locations | [[Burzahom archaeological site|Burzahom]] in [[Kashmir]], [[Bhimbetka rock shelters|Bhimbetka caves]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], Ayad Valley civilisation in [[Rajasthan]], and [[Brahmagiri archaeological site|Brahmagiri]] in [[Karnataka]] }} in India.<ref name=Historic>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sunday-guardian.com/artbeat/5-pre-historic-sites-that-shaped-india|title=5 pre-historic sites that shaped India|date=23 August 2014|work=Sunday Guardian|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130195204/http://www.sunday-guardian.com/artbeat/5-pre-historic-sites-that-shaped-india|archive-date=30 January 2016}}</ref>

Chirand Neolithic group occupied the plains, while their contemporaries inhabited the plateaus and hills. The occupational categorisation in Chirand covers three periods – Period I Neolithic (2500–1345 BC), Period II [[Chalcolithic Age|Chalcolithic]] (1600 B.C) and Period III [[Iron Age]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yac.bih.nic.in/Da-02.htm#Chirand|title=distinguishing features of Chirand Neolithic pottery first noticed at Chirand was post-firing painting in ochre colour mainly on grey ware, but sometimes on red-ware also|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525025802/http://yac.bih.nic.in/Da-02.htm#Chirand|archive-date=25 May 2012}}</ref> [[Carbon dating]] of the top layer of the Neolithiic period dates the layer between 1910 BC and 1600 BC.

===Economy===
Neolithic people experienced an economy that included hunting, gathering, fishing and animal rearing.{{Sfn|Sahu|1988|p=182}} Paddy husk impressions in some potsherds indicate Neolithic involvement in cultivating rice and cereals such as wheat, moong, masoor, and barley.{{Sfn|Sahu|1988|p=182}} Both cultivated and wild rice was harvested during summer and again during winter.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}} The wild forms of rice are ''Oryza rifipogon'' and ''Oryza perennis'', from which ''[[Oryza sativa]]'' (Asian rice) originated.{{Sfn|Peregrine|Ember|2003|p=130}}

==Archaeological finds==
The archaeological finds in Chirand are from a Neolithic deposit of {{Convert|3.5|m}} thickness, a Chalcolithic layer {{Convert|5.5|m}} thick and iron age formation of {{Convert|2.45|m}} thickness. Copper was used during the Chalcolithic period, while iron was found in the upper strata.<ref name= Saran/> A cache of 88 Kushan period coins were unearthed at the site.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kushan.org/sources/coin/copperhoards.htm|title=Copper and Silver Hoards|work=#039 Chirand (Saran District, Bihar)|access-date=3 January 2016|publisher=A rough guide to Kuhan History|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130211639/http://www.kushan.org/sources/coin/copperhoards.htm|archive-date=30 January 2016}}</ref>

===Animals===
Analysis of antiquities related to skeletal remains revealed 12 species of domesticated and wild animals: cattle, buffaloes (''[[Bubalus|Bubalisbubalis linn]]''), sheep (''[[Ovis aries]]''), cheetal (''Axis axis''), [[barasinga]], [[pig]], [[elephant]], [[rhinoceros]], [[cheetal]] (''Axis axia''), dog, a [[carp]] and two types of [[turtle]]s. Bones of birds and fish were also found. Faunal finds indicate that the area was forested over an undulating topography.{{Sfn|Sahu|1988|p=181}}{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=81}}

===Pottery===
25,000 [[potsherds]] excavated from Chirand are grouped according to the Period II Neolithic pottery appearing more refined than the Period I pottery, all from smoothed clay mixed with mica. Most of the pottery was hand made. Some vessels were made by turn table or dabbing. Half of the potsherds are red ware and half are [[Black and red ware culture|black and red ware]] from different shapes and sizes of vases, bowls, and knobbed pottery.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}

Pot wares in varying designs in post-firing painting technique in ochre colour, generally of grey ware and few in red-ware were also found.<ref name= Saran/> The Chalcolithic pottery unearthed at the site are of black and red ware pots and pans.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}

===Housing===

Neolithic people lived in circular [[wattle and daub]] huts made of mud and reeds with rammed floors. Earlier hut floors were built below ground level, later hut floors were built at ground level.

Hearths and oblong shaped ovens were found in a semicircular hut. The white colour of the soil around the hearth and the ovens found at the site pointed to animal meat roasted in the ovens, likely for community feeding. Rice was a staple food.<ref name= Saran/>{{Sfn|Singh|2008|p=121}}{{Sfn|Sinha|2009|p=410}} Mud boundary walls of houses were traced. Burnt chunks of clay with reed or bamboo impressions suggest that houses were destroyed by fire. Houses were larger in size in the Chalcolithic period compared to the Neolithic period, made of reeds and bamboo with mud plaster and flooring of fired earth.{{Sfn|Singh|2008|p=121}} A circular hearth and a few post-holes were also found.<ref name= Saran/>

The Neolithic stone implements of celts were found. Axes found were made of [[quartzite]], [[basalt]] and [[granite]]. The finds included nine types of [[microliths]]. Waste flakes found in the area indicate prevalence of the process of manufacture in a well established [[microlithic industry]] in the area that included [[chert]], [[chalcedony]], [[agate]] and [[Jasper (mineral)|jasper]], derived from the dry river bed of the Son river. The final products in the collection are stone discs in long, cylindrical and triangular shapes.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}

===Crafts===
Pendants, ear-rings, bangles, discs and combs from the Neolithic period were found.{{Sfn|Singh|2008|p=120}} 400 bone tools, mostly used for hunting, made from antler and long bones of deer and cattle were found in Chirand and at [[Burzahom archaeological site|Burzahom]] from Period II and Period III. Terracotta figurines included humped bulls, birds, snakes, and human female figurines. The snake figures are indicative of existence of [[Nāga|Naga]] cult among the Neolithic people.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}}{{Sfn|Sahu|1988|p=181-82}} The human female figurines possibly relate to either a mother goddess, a goddess of fertility, or both. Ornaments made from tortoise and ivory were also found.{{Sfn|Gopal| Srivastava|2008|p=80}} A painted motif of the sacred peepal leaf (''[[Ficus religiosa]]'') was found. A foot stand of large [[sarcophagus]] indicates mortuary rites of the Neolithic people.{{Sfn|Peregrine|Ember|2003|p=131}}

==Celebrations==

The '''2014–15 Senior Women's One Day League''' was the 9th edition of the women's [[List A cricket|List A]] [[cricket]] [[Senior Women's One Day League|competition]] in [[India]]. It took place from 6 December 2014 to 5 January 2015, with 26 teams divided into an Elite Group and a Plate Group. [[Railways women's cricket team|Railways]] won the tournament, their third in a row and eighth overall, by topping the Elite Group Super League.<ref name="CA">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/23/Inter_State_Womens_One_Day_Competition_2014-15.html |title=Inter State Women's One Day Competition 2014/15 |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=14 August 2021}}</ref>

==Competition format==
The 26 teams competing in the tournament were divided into the Elite Group and the Plate Group, with the 10 teams in the Elite Group further divided into Groups A and B and the 16 teams in the Plate Group into Groups A, B and C. The tournament operated on a [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] format, with each team playing every other team in their group once. The top two sides from each Elite Group progressed to the Elite Group Super League, which was a further round-robin group, with the winner of the group being crowned Champions. The bottom side from each Elite Group was relegated to the Plate Group for the following season. Meanwhile, the top two from each Plate Group progressed to a knockout stage, with the two teams that reached the final being promoted for the following season, as well as playing off for the Plate Group title. Matches were played using a [[Limited overs cricket|50 over]] format.

The groups worked on a points system with positions within the groups based on the total points of each team. Points were awarded as follows:<ref name="CAtable">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/Tables/23/Inter_State_Womens_One_Day_Competition_2014-15.html |title=Inter State Women's One Day Competition 2014/15 Points Tables |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=14 August 2021}}</ref>

'''Win''': 4 points. 
'''[[Result (cricket)#Tie|Tie]]''': 2 points. 
'''Loss''': 0 points. 
'''No Result/Abandoned''': 2 points.

==Early life and family==
Goburdhun was born in a middle class [[Indo-Mauritian]] family in the [[Rivière du Rempart District]] of the [[Mauritius]], an island archipelago in the [[Indian Ocean]] where [[French language|French]] is widely spoken.

At the time of his birth, [[British Mauritius|Mauritius was a British colony]]. Goburdhun's grandfather had arrived in the Mauritius as an [[indentured laborer]] from India and rose up to become a schoolmaster.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=134}}

Goburdhun was educated in [[Port Louis]] at the [[Royal College Port Louis]] and the ''[[Institut français du Royaume-Uni]]''. As a child, he was considered to be "naughty and rebellious, through intelligent", and was known as "Tipu the Rebel".{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=134}}

His father was a stern, authoritarian man who often beat his son with a rod for his rebellious streak.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=134}} An outstanding student, in spite of being frequently caned by his teachers, Goburdhun also excelled as an athlete.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=135}} As the Mauritius had no universities under British colonial rule, Goburdhun left to attend university in Britain, but while on his way, passed through [[France]], and decided to attend university there instead.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=135}} Goburdhun had a lifelong love affair with [[Paris]], which was always his favorite city.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=135}}

His brother [[Hurrylall Goburdhun]] became a Judge of the [[Supreme Court of Mauritius]].<ref>{{cite web |title=L'ancien juge Hurrylall Goburdhun décède à 100 ans |date=15 September 2019 |url=https://www.lexpress.mu/article/360973/lancien-juge-hurrylall-goburdhun-decede-100-ans |publisher=L'Express |accessdate=2019-11-15}}</ref>

==Lawyer and diplomat==
Goburdhun was educated in France and remained a lifelong [[Francophile]].{{sfn|McLaughlin|2019|p=185}} While attending the [[University of Lille]] in France in the 1930s, Goburdhun befriended a young [[Catholic Church in Vietnam|Vietnamese Catholic]] student named [[Ngô Đình Nhu]], who remained a lifelong friend.{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=302}} Afterwards, he obtained a law degree at the [[Middle Temple]] in [[London]]. Goburdhun worked as a lawyer in Port Louis. From 1939 to 1944, he served as a judicial officer of the Supreme Court of the Mauritius. In 1943, Goburdhun was made a Civil member of the [[Order of the British Empire]] for his work as a civil servant in the Mauritius.<ref>{{cite news |title=Supplement to the Gazette |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/35841/page/20/data.pdf |accessdate=30 May 2020 |date=1 January 1943}}</ref>

In 1945-1946, he served as a judge at a labour court in Port Louis. In the [[1948 Mauritian general election|1948 elections for the Legislative Council of Mauritius]], he ran for office, winning 405 votes in the [[Pamplemousses District]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Results of 1948 Legislative Council elections |url=http://electoral.govmu.org/English/electionresult/nasselec/Documents/1948%20Elections.pdf |publisher=Government of Mauritius |accessdate=2020-07-26}}</ref> Following the failure of his political career, Goburdhun moved to [[India]], which became independent in 1947 to pursue a career in diplomacy. In 1949, he married Kamala Sinha, by whom he had one daughter, [[Anuradha Goburdhun Bakhshi]].

Goburdhun served as the ''charge d'affairs'' at the Indian embassy in [[Prague]], [[Czechoslovakia]] from 1948 to 1952. As India had stationed no ambassador in Prague, Goburdhun was in charge of the embassy. Once he organised a diplomatic reception to be attended by all of the other ambassadors in Prague, causing his wife to be extremely upset when she learned the British ambassador would be attending, requiring him to explain that India was now independent and he was the equal of the British ambassador.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=139-140}} In 1951 his name briefly hit the headlines when the Czechoslovak police arrested and charged with espionage an American journalist, [[William N. Oatis]]. At Oatis's trial in Prague, Oatis confessed to espionage and named Goburdhun as one of the diplomats he was alleged to have spied for.{{sfn|Schmidt|1952|p=35}} After Oatis was released in 1953, he retracted his confession as being induced by torture, and stated he merely sometimes cross-checked information with Goburdhun, engaging in standard journalistic practice, before writing a story.

In January–February 1953, he served as the deputy secretary at the Indian foreign ministry. Goburdhun subsequently served as the counselor at the Indian embassy in [[Beijing]] in 1953-55. Before a dispute over where the precise Sino-Indian border was high up in the Himalayas spoiled Indo-Chinese relations, the relationship between the two nations were warm and friendly, and Goburdhun enjoyed being stationed in Beijing, where he was treated with respect as a diplomat from a friendly nation.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=144}} It was as Goburdhun's service in China was winding down that relations between New Delhi and Beijing began to sour as India maintained its claim to the [[McMahon Line]] that had been laid down by the British in 1914 as the Sino-Indian frontier, a claim that China rejected.

From 1955 to 1957, he worked as a counselor at the Indian embassy in [[Paris]], [[France]]. Of all his diplomatic postings, Goburdhun enjoyed the one in Paris the most, being described by his daughter as being "overjoyed" to be living in his beloved Paris.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=145}} In March–December 1958, Goburdhun worked as the head of public relations department at the Foreign Ministry in New Delhi. In December 1958, Goburdhun arrived at the [[Dar al-Makhzen (Rabat)|Dar al-Makhzen]] in [[Rabat]], [[Morocco]] to present his credentials as India's ambassador to King [[Mohammed V of Morocco|Mohammed V]]. During his time in Morocco, Goburdhun came close to adopting the daughter of an Italian diplomat after her parents were drowned at sea.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=148}}

==The "Maneli Affair"==
He became chairman of the [[International Control Commission]] in October 1962 assigned to supervise the [[Geneva Accords of 1954|Geneva accords of 1954]]. Goburdhun was well suited for this role as an honest broker, establishing cordial relations with the leaders of both North Vietnam and South Vietnam.{{sfn|McLaughlin|2019|p=185}} As Goburdhun was fluent in French, a language widely spoken by Vietnamese elites, he had no difficulty in communicating with Vietnamese elites. The American historian [[Ellen Hammer]] called Goburdhun an "exuberant and assertive" man with a strong interest in finding a way to end the Vietnam war.{{sfn|Hammer|1987|p=86}}

Just after Goburdhun's arrival in Vietnam, the [[Sino-Indian War]] of October–November 1962 saw China defeat and humiliate India in a sharp, short campaign in the [[Himalayas]].{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=237}} The spectacle seeing the [[Indian Army]] being utterly crushed by the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]] and retreating in chaos back into India caused Indian diplomacy to take a pronounced anti-Chinese turn as the Indian Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] never forgave [[Mao Zedong]] for that humiliation.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=237}} The British ambassador in Saigon, Henry Hohler, reported the Sino-Indian war was having "repercussions" on the Indian delegation to the ICC.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=239}} Hohler reported to London after talking to Goburdhun that he had previously maintained that the ICC needed "positive objectivity", but after India's defeat, "he now considers it his duty to use his influence discreetly on the side of the free world-encouraging any activity which favors Western interests".{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=239}}

However, the conclusion Goburdhun reached was that the war was pushing North Vietnam closer to China, and that ending the war would allow the traditional Sino-Vietnamese antagonism to reassert itself as Goburdhun knew from his contacts within Hanoi that North Vietnamese leaders were willing to accept Chinese help only because the United States was supporting South Vietnam.{{sfn|Preston|2004|p=139}} After the Sino-Indian war, the principal aim of Indian diplomacy was to reduce and weaken China's influence in Asia.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=238}} Unlike the Americans who knew little about [[History of Vietnam|Vietnamese history]], the Indians were more familiar with the histories of near-by Asian states, and appreciated the full depth of the profound mistrust the Vietnamese had of China, a state had conquered Vietnam in 111 BC and ruled it as a Chinese province for the next thousand years. The Americans had hoped that after the Sino-Indian war that India would become an American ally in Asia as the two nations had common anti-Chinese foreign policies, but the conclusion reached by Nehru was that India should promote neutralism in Southeast Asia as the best way of reducing Chinese influence in Southeast Asia.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=240-241}}

This was especially the case because after the Sino-Indian war on the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", Nehru took an advantage of the Sino-Soviet split to form a ''de facto'' alliance with the Soviet Union against China.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=240-241}} Because the Americans had a military alliance with India's archenemy Pakistan, from the Indian perspective this ruled out the possibility of an alliance with the United States and caused the Indians to reach out to the Soviet Union instead. Since the Soviet Union was also supporting North Vietnam, the Indians resisted the pressure from the Americans to have their ICC delegates condemn North Vietnam.{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=241}} Instead of taking the expected pro-American positions, Hohler reported in late 1962 that Goburdhun was engaged in "masterly inactivity" while "marking time for an infinite period".{{sfn|Lawrence|2004|p=241}}

His daughter described Vietnam as the most difficult of his diplomatic assignments, recalling that he "spent long hours in his office and often returned in a bad mood or imprisoned in a pregnant silence. As soon as he got back, he would lock himself in his study or pace furiously along the long veranda that circled the house".{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=150}} Goburdhun lived in a house in Saigon built by a wealthy Chinese merchant, and notably refused to allow his children to leave the grounds of the house, saying that Saigon was too dangerous.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=150}}

Working closely with the French ambassador to South Vietnam, Roger Lalouette, and the Polish Commissioner to the ICC, [[Mieczysław Maneli]], Goburdhun met in the spring of 1963 with both Chairman [[Ho Chi Minh]] of North Vietnam and President [[Ngo Dinh Diem]] of South Vietnam to discuss a possible federation of the two Vietnams as a way to end the war.{{sfn|Jacobs|2006|p=165}} In March 1963, Maneli reported to Warsaw: "It would be desirable for the North and the guerrillas to give Diem some respite. Then, as Diem promised Goburdhun, he would get rid of the Americans by himself and would join the India line. It would be necessary to facilitate direct North-South contacts. This could take place in [New] Delhi, where the two sides have their representatives."<ref name="McMath">{{cite news |last1=McMath |first1=James |title=Ken Burns, JFK and the unopened door |url=https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2017/oct/15/ken-burns-jfk-and-the-unopened-door-201/ |accessdate=25 April 2020 |publisher=Arkansas Democrat-Gazette |date=15 October 2017}}</ref>

In 1963, North Vietnam had suffered its worst drought in a generation, and the possibility of having rice exported from the fertile Mekong river valley, South Vietnam's "rice bowl", would have solved a number of problems in North Vietnam.{{sfn|Jacobs|2006|p=165}} At the same time, the [[Sino-Soviet split]] with both [[Nikita Khrushchev]] and Mao Zeodong pressuring Ho to side with them left Ho in a precious position.{{sfn|Jacobs|2006|p=165}} At the same time, the [[Buddhist crisis]] had caused a rift in the once warm relations between President [[John F. Kennedy]] of the United States and Diem, with Kennedy pressuring Diem to disallow his younger brother and right-hand man, [[Ngô Đình Nhu]].

On 24 April 1963, Maneli reported to Warsaw after meeting Goburdhun: "Today Ambassador [Ramchundur] Goburdhun left for India. He again reminded [me] that he would visit Ambassador [[Przemysław Ogrodziński]]...They [the Indians] consider Diem, his brother [Ngo Dinh Nhu], and sister-in-law, [[Madame Nhu]], to be the main elements [which] strive to make the Americans withdraw. c) They are against the American-English conception of removing them from power by means of a possible coup, because they do not want an official government run by a military junta. d) [Jawaharlal] Nehru supposedly agreed to a wide political amnesty due to the Indian advice. The policy of so-called “open arms” has already been proclaimed towards the insurgents who resigned from the fight"<ref>{{cite web |last1=Maneli | first1=Mieczysław |title=Secret Telegram from Maneli (Saigon) to Spasowski (Warsaw) [Ciphergram No. 5295] |url=https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/118948.pdf?v=56425315316b4e5e60329ea2b24d8ae3 |website=International History Declassified |publisher=Wilson Center |accessdate=31 May 2020}}</ref>

In a meeting in Hanoi, Ho told Goburdhun that Diem was "in his own way a patriot", noting that Diem had opposed French rule over Vietnam, and ended the meeting saying that the next time he met Diem "shake hands with him for me".{{sfn|Jacobs|2006|p=165}} In May 1963, Ho publicly posted a ceasefire with the only condition being the withdrawal of all the American advisers from South Vietnam.{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=305}} In a meeting in Hanoi, the North Vietnamese Premier [[Phạm Văn Đồng]] told Maneli that his government was prepared to accept a federation and would drop its demand for the National Liberation Front, the 'Viet Cong', to enter the government in Saigon as part of the price for peace.{{sfn|Jacobs|2006|p=165}} Reflecting the problems imposed by the drought in North Vietnam, Đồng told Maneli that he was willing to accept a ceasefire which would be followed up by a barter trade with coal from North Vietnam being exchanged for rice from South Vietnam.{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=305}} Maneli later wrote that he had the impression that the North Vietnamese were still angry with the outcome of the Geneva conference in 1954, believing that the Soviet Union and China had imposed an unfavorable settlement on them for the sake of better relations with the West.{{sfn|Langguth|2000|p=232-233}} He felt that Đồng did not want the Soviets, the Chinese or the Americans involved in any new talks.{{sfn|Langguth|2000|p=232-233}}

In Saigon, Goburdhun renewed his friendship with Nhu, and uniquely was able to maintain a friendship with Nhu's abrasive wife, [[Madame Nhu]].{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=302}} Accordingly to one of Nhu's bodyguards, he saw at a dinner hosted by Goburdhun, Nhu talking to an unknown man with an "intellectual" demeanor and whose chest pocket had on it a yellow star on a red background, the symbol of North Vietnam.{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=302}} The fact that this account first appeared in a book published in 1971 in Saigon, ''How Does One Kill a President?'', co-written by Dr. [[Trần Kim Tuyến]], the spymaster under the Ngo brothers who had fallen out with them in 1963, has led many historians to dismiss this account.{{sfn|Miller|2013|p=303}}

However, regardless if Goburdhun did set up a meeting between Nhu and a North Vietnamese official, on 25 August 1963 he arranged for Nhu to meet Maneli at a reception at the [[Gia Long Palace]].{{sfn|Jones|2003|p=311}} Goburdhun together with Lalouette formed a semi-circle who edged Maneli towards Nhu, who agreed to meet Maneli on 2 September.{{sfn|Langguth|2000|p=232}} Through Goburdhun, Lalouette and Maneli all believed there was a chance for peace, the coup of 1–2 November 1963 that saw the Ngo brothers killed put an end to their plans.<ref name="McMath"/>

==Later life==
After leaving the ICC, Goburdhun served as the Indian ambassador to Algeria from 1964 to 1966. From 1967 to 1969, he served as the Indian ambassador to Turkey. From 1970 to his retirement in 1985, he worked as a legal adviser to the Supreme Court of India in New Delhi. An Indian nationalist, Goburdhun's favorite advice to his children was "Don't lose faith in India!", contending that the problems of poverty in India would be one day solved.{{sfn|Bakshi|2008|p=192}}

'''Pratap Singh Bhonsle''' or '''Pratapsinha''' ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]: तंजावरचे प्रतापसिंह) was the [[Maratha]] ruler of [[Thanjavur]] of the [[Bhonsle]] dynasty from 1739 to 1763. His rise to power followed three years of [[anarchy]] and [[civil war]] and restored the state to its previous greatness. His reign witnessed the Carnatic Wars and the Seven Years' War.

== Early life ==

Pratapsinha was born to [[Tukkoji]], the Raja of Thanjavur and a [[concubine]] Annapurna. Initially, he was not expected to rule as he was not a legitimate son of the Raja. However, the early demise of the king's eldest son Ekoji II who died after ruling Thanjavur for a year and a period of anarchy which followed thrust Pratap Singh on the forefront of palace intrigues.

== Period of Anarchy 1736–1739 ==
Following Tukkoji's death in 1736, a period of anarchy followed. [[Ekoji II|Ekoji]], the king's eldest son and heir apparent succeeded to the throne but died after ruling Thanjavur for a year. However, in spite of his poor health, Ekoji offered a determined resistance to [[Chanda Sahib]] who invaded Thanjavur during the former's short reign and forced him to retreat to [[Tiruchirapalli]].

Ekoji died in 1737 succeeded by his wife [[Sujana Bai]]. Sayyid, the Governor of the Thanjavur Fort, rose into prominence during this period as a kingmaker and actively participated in court intrigues promoting one puppet ruler after another to the throne. He imprisoned Sujanbai in 1738 when the latter questioned his authority.

Shahuji returned in 1738 and ruled for about a year. In February 1739, Chanda Sahib forced Shahuji to cede [[Karaikal]] to the French and in April, the Raja confirmed the Grant. In July 1739, Shahuji prevented the French from landing in Karaikal. This resulted in invasion of Thanjavur by Chanda Sahib who captured Shahuji and imprisoned him on the pretext that he was not the actual Shahuji but an impostor. The [[Dutch East India Company]] based at [[Nagapattinam]] sent home the following report on the events at Thanjavur:

{{cquote| Chanda imprisoned Shahuji Maharaj in Tanjore under a pretext that he was not of royal blood. Pratap was placed on the throne against his own will. Having gone to prison and expressing his unwillingness to ascend the throne to Shagy's prejudice, Pratap was answered by Shagy, "If you do not accept the Government, both of us lose our heads, if, on the other hand, we continue alive, we may watch the course of events. Hence ascend the throne"}}

== Reign ==
Pratapsinha ascended the throne in 1739. He was the last ruler of Thanjavur to be referred in the official records of the [[Honourable East India Company|English East India Company]] as "His Majesty". His court was noted for its patronage of the arts notably of the [[devadasi]]/poetess [[Muddupalani]]. <ref>{{Cite web |title=The Tribune...Sunday Reading |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99dec12/sunday/head3.htm |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=www.tribuneindia.com}}</ref>

As soon as Pratapsinha ascended the throne he had to contend with the intrigues of the pretender Shahuji in the company of a treacherous Maratha noble Koyaji Kattigai.<ref name="p48">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian, Pg 48]]</ref> It was also evident that the conspirators were in league with Sayyid.<ref name="p49">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian, Pg 49]]</ref> So immediately after ascending the throne, Pratapsingh ordered the death of Sayyid.

In 1748, the pretender Shahuji sent an envoy, first to [[Puducherry (city)|Puducherry]]<ref name="p50">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian, Pg 50]]</ref> and then to [[Fort St. David]] to negotiate terms of alliance with the [[French Indies Company|French East India Company]].<ref name="p50"/> The British East India Company initially supported Pratapsingh but switched sides when Shahuji offered the fort of Devikottai at the mouth of the Coleroon river.<ref name="p51">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 51</ref> The British sent two expeditions against Devikkottai which was defended by a garrison of 5,000 men.<ref name="p51"/> Their first attempt was a complete failure while the second ended in a truce.<ref name="p51"/> The second expedition was remarkable as the one in which [[Stringer Lawrence|Lawrence]] and [[Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive|Clive]] distinguished themselves.<ref name="p52">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 52</ref> The War was brought to an end by the treaty of friendship between Pratapsingh and the Company. Devikkottai was made over to the English as per the provisions of the treaty.<ref name="p52"/>

In the early part of his reign, Pratapsinha also had to deal with the imperious attitude of Dost Ali, the [[Nawab of the Carnatic]]. Pratapsinha was soon deposed by Dost Ali who took over the administration of Thanjavur. But a Maratha invasion from the north brought about the death of Dost Ali and the restoration of Pratapsingh. The Maratha troops left after making one [[Murari Rao|Murari Rao Ghorpade]] the ruler of Tiruchirapalli, with whom Pratapsinha was on bad terms. Soon afterwards, the Nizam of Hyderabad sent a formidable force to Thanjavur to exact tribute. Two other expeditions forced the Raja into submission.

The third and final expedition of the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] in 1742, resulted in the deposition of Murari Rao and the annexation of Tiruchirapalli. As a result of this campaign, Thanjavur was forced to become a vassal of Hyderabad and pay annual tribute.

=== The Seven Years' War ===
During the [[Seven Years' War]], Pratapsingh supported the English with arms and supplies. At Lawrences' behest, the great Thanjavur general Manoji took Coillady from the French and captured Chanda Sahib and beheaded him.<ref name="p53">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 53</ref>

However, the confederacy broke when Nanja Raja realized that he had been deceived by Muhammad Ali who had promised to give him Tiruchirapalli as per an early arrangement.<ref name="p54">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 54</ref> Pratapsingh supported his cause when the French under Dupleix tried to threaten him. Muhammad Ali and Murari Rao forged an alliance with the French.

In 1758, [[Thomas Arthur, comte de Lally|Lally]] marched to Thanjavur from [[Karaikal]] in order to force Thanjavur into subjugation but was repulsed by Manoji.<ref name="p54"/> He had to retreat with an insignificant plunder at [[Nagore]] when an English fleet made its appearance off the coast at Karaikal.<ref name="p54"/> The Thanjavur troops supported by a small English contingent harassed the French who eventually succumbed to starvation. The British inflicted a crshing defeat on the French in the siege of Puducherry in 1761.<ref name="p55">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 55</ref> This dealt a death-blow to the French power in India.

=== Loss of Independence ===
From the onset, the [[Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah|Nawab of Carnatic Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah]] wasn't in good terms with Pratap Singh and desired to annex [[Thanjavur]]. However, for the sake of their common interests, Pratap Singh maintained an uneasy alliance with Muhammad Ali. Matters reached a boiling point after the [[Seven Years' War]]. The [[Carnatic Sultanate]] was getting ready for plans to attack the [[Thanjavur Maratha kingdom]]. However, their common ally, the [[British East India Company]], averted a crisis by stepping in to mediate a truce in 1762. The Raja agreed to pay twenty lakhs as arrears and an annual tribute of four lakhs to the Nawab of Carnatic.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ramaswami |first1=N.S. |title=Political History of Carnatic Under the Nawabs |date=1984 |publisher=Abhinav Publications |location=India |page=253}}</ref> In return, Coiladdy and Yelengadu were ceded to Thanjavur. Notwithstanding allegations of partiality on part of the British, this treaty practically ended Thanjavur's independence.

=== Border disputes with Ramnad ===
There were frequent border disputes with the state of Ramnad on the [[Aranthangi]] frontier. Actively supported by the Tondaiman of [[Pudukkottai]], Manoji once led a large army into the territory of the Sethupathy of Ramnad and even captured Aranthangi. The Nawab of Carnatic who was the actual overlord to whom Thanjavur paid tribute, stepped in and stopped the Raja from pursuing further hostilities.

== Death ==
Pratapsinha died on 16 December 1763<ref name="p57">[[#Subramanian|K. R. Subramanian]], Pg 57</ref> after reigning for 24 years. His third and fifth queens committed [[Sati (practice)|Sati]].<ref name="p57"/> He was succeeded by his eldest son [[Thuljaji]].<ref name="p57"/>
