&#039;&#039;&#039;K. R. Pura Assembly constituency&#039;&#039;&#039; (also known as, &#039;&#039;&#039;Krishnarajapura&#039;&#039;&#039;) is an Assembly constituency in the Greater Bangalore region and has the largest number of voters among the 21 constituencies. It comes under [[Bangalore North Lok Sabha constituency]]. Carved out from the erstwhile [[Varthur Assembly constituency]], and a few parts of [[Hosakote Assembly constituency]], it has predominantly urban characteristics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ward map==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All wards of the erstwhile K. R. Pura City Municipal Council, and wards 3 to 11 of Mahadevapura City Municipal Council, which includes Sanna Thammanahalli, Medahalli, Bhattrahalli, K. R.

&lt;br /&gt;
The area has its own set of problems. Traffic congestion, sewage disposal issues, lack of storm-water drains and bad roads are common complaints.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url =http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/K-R-Pura-Where-Two-Worlds-Meet/2015/08/15/article2975333.ece| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150828034205/http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/K-R-Pura-Where-Two-Worlds-Meet/2015/08/15/article2975333.ece| url-status =dead| archive-date =28 August 2015| title = K R Pura: Where Two Worlds Meet}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life== &lt;br /&gt;
Laxmidas Krishna Borkar was born on 17 August 1925 in [[Margao]] to Krishna Dattaram Borkar. He attended the [[Liceu Nacional Afonso de Albuquerque|lyceum]] for seven years.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Vishwakosh1999&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Goa liberation movement==&lt;br /&gt;
Borkar was an active freedom fighter. He is credited as the person who was responsibile for escorting [[Ram Manohar Lohia]] from his hotel on 18 June 1946, as part of the events that are today celebrated as [[Goa Revolution Day]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gomantak77&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;FaleiroGoa1961&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Faleiro |first=Valmiki |author-link=Valmiki Faleiro |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GYLyEAAAQBAJ |title=Goa, 1961: The Complete Story of Nationalism and Integration |date=2023-07-24 |publisher=Penguin Random House India Private Limited |isbn=978-93-5708-175-7 |pages=21 |access-date=21 August 2024 |archive-url= |archive-date= |url-status=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Borkar was also jailed five times by the Portuguese police.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gomantak77&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Borkar&#039;s involvement in the movement continued with several key acts of protest. On 7 November 1946, he and Roque Sequeira offered &#039;&#039;[[satyagraha]]&#039;&#039; at Shiroda to protest the curbs on civil liberties. A speech he gave at the event led to a large procession towards Borim, which was met by Portuguese police gunfire, cited as the first instance of police firing on protestors in Goa. Borkar was arrested following the event.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jnanamrit25&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1954, Borkar travelled to the [[International Court of Justice]] in [[The Hague]] to sign a representation advocating for Goa&#039;s liberation. The following year, on 18 May 1955, he joined [[Nath Pai]] in a &#039;&#039;satyagraha&#039;&#039; at [[Castle Rock, Karnataka|Castle Rock]]. This act of [[civil disobedience]] was intended to disrupt railway traffic to Goa and pressure the Portuguese regime. Through these actions, Borkar became a key figure in the National Congress of Goa and the [[Praja Socialist Party]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jnanamrit25&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It is one of the oldest Christian churches in the region. This church did not participate in the [[Synod of Diamper]]. During the [[Mysorean invasion of Malabar|invasion]] of [[Tipu Sultan]], the church was [[arson]]ed and later reconstructed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Sam C.

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Chattukulangara Pally and late 20th-century historiography===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Fr. Joseph Cheeran.jpg|thumb|Joseph Cheeran, a former vicar of the church]]&lt;br /&gt;
A local belief originating in the late 20th century holds that [[Thomas the Apostle|Saint Thomas]] came to a region near present-day Kunnamkulam where a Jewish community had settled. Joseph Cheeran, a former vicar and influential priest in the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, promulgated these ideas. According to his theory, Saint Thomas preached to the Jews and many were converted to Christianity. The Jewish synagogue in that area is said to have been converted into a Christian church, which Cheeran identifies as Chattukulangara Pally. It is also said that Saint Thomas came to Judakunnu (Jew Hill), where there was a water scarcity. The people appealed to him for help, and he is said to have whipped the ground on the hilltop, causing a spring of fresh water to appear. This is said to have later been called Chattakkulam ({{langx|ml|ചാട്ടക്കുളം}}), and it is hypothesised that the church near it came to be known as Chattakkulangara Pally.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|first=Joseph|last=Cheeran|title=palūr-kunnamkulam idavakakal: charitravum samskaravum|publisher=M. J. D. Publishing House|location=Kunnamkulam|year=2013|page=|language=ml|url=https://archive.org/details/HistoryKunnamkulam}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Cheeran&#039;s theory gained momentum, and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church subscribes to it.&amp;lt;ref name=PPKunnamkulam/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Arthat St. Mary&#039;s Cathedral, Kunnamkulam {{!}} |url=https://mosc.in/pilgrimcentres/1407-2 |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=mosc.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast to this 20th-century identification, the traditional site for the establishment of a Christian community in the region has been the [[St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Church, Palayoor|Palayur Church]] at least since the 14th century.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;MS Vatican Syriac 22 (1301) - one of the oldest known Syriac manuscripts of Indian origin. Written by a deacon named Zakharya bar Joseph bar Zakharya, the colophon states that it was copied in 1301 AD in Chingala (ancient Shingly or Cranganore) at the Church dedicated to Mar Quriaqos (St. Cyriac). This reference could be perhaps the earliest documentary evidence for the existence of a church in Palayur which was originally dedicated to St. Cyriac.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Antonio Gouvea|author-link=Antonio de Gouvea|title=Jornada of Dom Alexis de Menezes: A Portuguese Account of the Sixteenth Century Malabar|editor=Pius Malekandathil|editor-link=Pius Malekandathil|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cUKybwAACAAJ|pages=442–446|year=1606|edition=2003|location=Coimbra|isbn=9788188979004}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.keralatourism.org/christianity/seven-half-churches/7|title = Department of tourism, Kerala }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last= Whitehouse |first= Thomas |title=Lingerings of light in a dark land: Researches into the Syrian church of Malabar|date=1873 |publisher=William Brown and Co.|pages=31–32 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ie4CAAAAQAAJ |language=en |quote= Of palur, little can be said having any special interest. It was the most northern of the seven ancient churches, with Quilon as the most southern. The village at present is an unimportant place and lies off any main road, about a mile or so S.E. of Chowghaut. Gouvea narrates in his account of a visitation by Archbishop Menezes, that in order to bring the Proceedings of the Portuguese Archbishop and his synod at Udiamparur into odium, three of the leading men of place performed a farce or morality play in the church. One of the speakers impersonated St. Peter, another St. Thomas, and the third, who acted as umpire, St. Cyriac, to whom the church was then dedicated. }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cheeran also claimed that the Palayoor Church previously belonged to the Arthat church as a chapel. He stated that the real Paloor church is Arthat church and claimed that the book &#039;&#039;Jornada&#039;&#039; by [[António de Gouveia|Antonio de Gouvea]] and [[Francis Buchanan-Hamilton|Francis Buchanan]]&#039;s account of the Arthat church support his theory. However, Cheeran&#039;s theory has been criticised even by fellow Orthodox scholars such as Kurian Thomas Maledath, who compared Cheeran&#039;s books to children&#039;s literature and noted his theory as ambitious and localistic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=ഭാവനയല്ല ചരിത്രം / ഡോ. എം. കുര്യന്‍ തോമസ് {{!}} Malankara Orthodox TV |url=https://malankaraorthodox.tv/?p=53766 |access-date=2022-03-28 |language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Synod of Diamper and Coonan Cross Oath===&lt;br /&gt;
[[António de Gouveia|Antonio de Gouvea]], a Portuguese missionary and chronicler of [[Alexis de Menezes|Dom Alexis de Menezes]], records in his book &#039;&#039;Jornada Dom Alexis de Menezes&#039;&#039; about the church of Palur and other churches present nearby in the Kingdom of Zamorin. He writes that on his way he was given letters from the &#039;&#039;Cassanars&#039;&#039; and Vicars whom from the Synod he had sent to the church of &#039;&#039;Pallur&#039;&#039; ([[Palayur]]), dedicated to the glorious [[Cyricus and Julitta|Saint Cyriac Martyr]], the last of this Christian community on the Northern side, in the lands of the king Samorin five leagues from &#039;&#039;Panane&#039;&#039; (Ponnani), a place well-known to the Portuguese and to their fleets, which meant to them a big disturbance with which the devil had deceived all those people, and the people of &#039;&#039;Anamaque&#039;&#039; (Enammavu) and &#039;&#039;Mutem&#039;&#039; (Mattam) and &#039;&#039;Chatacolangaree&#039;&#039; (Chattukulangara or Arthat Kunnamkulam), all in the lands of the king Samorin, and close to each other.{{sfnp|Antonio Gouvea|1606}}&lt;br /&gt;
In 1772, Kattumangattu Bishop sent a letter to Sakthan Thampuran which states that in Thalappilli there was only one church existing in that region, which was Chattukulangara Palli. There were two more chapels also present in that region: Chiralayam and Pazhanji (dedicated to Geverghese Sahada).&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from the [[Coonan Cross Oath]] of 1653, both factions of [[Saint Thomas Christians|Malankara Nasranis]] wanted to take over the church. Because of the dispute, the church was closed for a while. In 1805, at their request, the then [[Kingdom of Cochin|King of Cochin]], [[Sakthan Thampuran]], came to Arthat church to resolve the problem. Both parties agreed to a lucky draw. In the draw, the main church and buildings went to the [[Malankara Church (Puthenkur)|Malankara Puthenkoor Syrians]], and the stone cross of the church went to the [[Malankara Church (Paḻayakūṟ)|Pazhayakoor Syrians]].&lt;br /&gt;
===Tipu Sultan&#039;s invasion and destruction===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1789, [[Tipu Sultan]] attacked and set fire to this church. Folklore states that Tipu&#039;s army killed a priest in the altar room, and his blood spilled there. Since it was considered impure, part of the altar was cut and removed. Hence, this church was also called &#039;&#039;Vetti muricha pally&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ml|വെട്ടി മുറിച്ച പള്ളി|translation=cut altar church}}). The altar of this church remains distinct from those in other churches.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Coral Missionary Magazine&#039;&#039; of 1876 gives an account of the Arthat church in Kunnamkulam. It notes that the Syrians had probably been settled in this part of Cochin for centuries, though not in the present town of Kunnankulam, as they had traditions that their forefathers lived near the old church of Arthat, about a mile from Kunnankulam. This old church had no village or bazaar near it, but the Syrians said it was formerly surrounded by a large bazaar, but that in consequence of a destructive fire, the inhabitants removed to the place where the present town of Kunnankulam stood. The church was still regarded by them with great veneration as their parish church, and as the burial place of their forefathers, and was in fact their only cemetery, with no interments being allowed in the churchyards in the town. This old church was burnt by Tippoo when he invaded Cochin in the last century; only the walls were left standing. It had since been re-roofed and thoroughly repaired, and was then one of the finest and most spacious Syrian churches in the country. There was another ancient church at Palur, near Chowghaut, about six miles from Kunnankulam, which was one of the seven churches said to have been founded by St. Thomas. This church was then in the possession of the Roman Catholics. Numbers of Syrians, however, were present at the principal festival of the church every year. The Syrians of Kunnankulam were known anciently as the Chátukulangare Syrians, from a large tank bearing that name, and it was recorded that they never acknowledged the authority of the Roman Archbishop Menezes in the 16th century when the Syrian church came under the influence of this emissary of Rome. It was a very interesting circumstance that there were no representatives of the Chátukulangare Syrians at the famous Synod of Udiamparur (Diamper).{{sfnp|Hope|1876|pp=82–83}}&lt;br /&gt;
===Relations with the Anglican Mission===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1800, [[Francis Buchanan-Hamilton|Francis Buchanan]] visited this church and met [[Mar Dionysius II|Pulikkottil Ittoop Ramban]] (later Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious I, also known as Dionysius II).&lt;br /&gt;
In 1806, the Arthat Padiyola (resolution) declared a break from the chains of Rome, Babylon, and Antioch.&amp;lt;ref name=PPKunnamkulam&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.orthodoxspp.org/eventDetails.php?eventid=6 |title=Orthodox Syrian Progressive Party Kunnamkulam |website=Orthodoxspp.org |date=2008-03-24 |access-date=2016-12-24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 1808, [[Claudius Buchanan]] and [[Colin Macaulay]] visited and awarded a large gold medal to this principal church in the name of all Syrian churches in Malabar. According to an account of the visit, Colonel Macaulay accompanied Buchanan from Cochin to the famous Shanscrit college at Trichur and thence to a district of the Syrian Christians which Buchanan had not before visited. It was named by Hyder, Nazarani Ghur or the city of the Nazarenes. It was a beautiful place, fertile and populous. The town was four square, having four gates built on the side of a hill with steps cut in the rock from street to street, surrounded by lofty groves of palm and other trees. A verdant meadow wound about the foot of the hill and the whole country was a scene of hill and dale. The priests and people knew Buchanan and received them with great affection. Colonel Macaulay accompanied Buchanan to the principal church. Having signified his intention of presenting a large gold medal to this church in the name of all the Syrian churches in Malayalam, a vast concourse of people assembled. The medal, which was about three times as large as a college gold medal, exhibited the baptism of Jesus in Jordan elegantly executed and on the reverse a child brought to be baptized. Buchanan placed it on the altar in the presence of the people with due solemnity and beside it a gift to the poor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Memoirs of the life and writings of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan|author=Hugh Pearson|date=1817|page=379|publisher=Benjamin &amp;amp; Thomas Kite|location=Philadelphia}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This church has the largest cemetery (1 hectare) of all churches in Kerala. The present cemetery wall was built on the initiative of [[Geevarghese Mar Gregorios of Malankara]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kunnamkulam Arthat St Marys Orthodox Church Cemetery 04.jpg|thumb|The largest cemetery in Kerala]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Church architecture==&lt;br /&gt;
The church was originally built in the Kerala architectural style with a thatched roof of coconut palm leaves. During the attack by Tipu Sultan, the church was set on fire. Later, the church was rebuilt with a wooden roof covered with clay tiles. [[Pulikkottil Joseph Mar Dionysious II|Mar Dionysius II]], when he was a &#039;&#039;ramban&#039;&#039; (monk), was instrumental in rebuilding the church to its present state. The current structure was built between 1805 and 1827 CE.&lt;br /&gt;
==Church feud==&lt;br /&gt;
A feud between the Patriarch faction and the Catholicos faction led the Patriarch faction to establish another church called Arthat St. Mary&#039;s Simhasana Church in 1920.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.syriacchristianity.info/StSl/ArthatSimhasanaChurch.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128054154/http://www.syriacchristianity.info/StSl/ArthatSimhasanaChurch.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-date=28 January 2016 |title=Arthat St |website=Syriacchristianity.info |date=2002-11-29 |access-date=2016-12-24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* [[Standardisation]] – The oldest applications and evidence of standardisation come from the Indus Valley Civilisation in the 5th millennium BCE characterised by the existence of weights in various standards and categories as&amp;lt;ref name=Kenoyer265/&amp;gt; well as the Indus merchants usage of a centralised weight and measure system. Small weights were used to measure luxury goods, and larger weights were used for buying bulkier items, such as food grains etc.&amp;lt;ref name=Kenoyer265&amp;gt;Kenoyer, 265&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The weights and measures of the Indus civilisation also reached [[Persia]] and [[Central Asia]], where they were further modified.&amp;lt;ref name=Iwata2254_quote&amp;gt;In the third millennium BCE the Indus measuring system was further developed in the ancient regions of Iran and Afghanistan – Iwata, 2254.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt; A total of 558 weights were excavated from Mohenjodaro, Harappa, and [[Chanhudaro|Chanhu-daro]], not including defective weights. They did not find statistically significant differences between weights that were excavated from five different layers, each about 1.5&amp;amp;nbsp;m in thickness. This was evidence that strong control existed for at least a 500-year period. The 13.7-g weight seems to be one of the units used in the Indus valley. The notation was based on the [[Binary numeral system|binary]] and [[decimal]] systems. 83% of the weights which were excavated from the above three cities were cubic, and 68% were made of [[chert]].&amp;lt;ref name=Iwata2254&amp;gt;Iwata2254&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Although the hammered soft iron he used was crude, the bursting strength of the container of black powder was much higher than the earlier paper construction. Thus a greater internal pressure was possible, with a resultant greater thrust of the propulsive jet. The rocket body was lashed with leather thongs to a long bamboo stick. Range was perhaps up to three-quarters of a mile (more than a kilometre). Although individually these rockets were not accurate, dispersion error became less important when large numbers were fired rapidly in mass attacks. They were particularly effective against cavalry and were hurled into the air, after lighting, or skimmed along the hard dry ground. Hyder Ali&#039;s son, [[Tippu Sultan]], continued to develop and expand the use of rocket weapons, reportedly increasing the number of rocket troops from 1,200 to a corps of 5,000.

=== Philosophy and logic ===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Catuṣkoṭi|Catuskoti (Tetralemma)]] – The four-cornered system of logical argumentation with a suite of four distinct functions that refers to a logical proposition P, with four possibilities that can arise. The tetralemma has many [[Epistemology|logico-epistemological]] applications and has been made ample use of by the Indian philosopher [[Nagarjuna|Nāgarjuna]] in the [[Madhyamaka]] school. The tetralemma also features prominently in the Greek [[Skepticism|skepticist]] school of [[Pyrrhonism]], the teachings of which are based on Buddhism. According to [[Christopher I. Beckwith]] ,the founder of the Pyrrhonist school lived in India for 18 months and likely learned the language, which allowed him to carry these teachings to Greece.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Beckwith|first=Christopher I.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RlCUBgAAQBAJ|title=Greek Buddha: Pyrrho&#039;s Encounter with Early Buddhism in Central Asia|date=2015-06-09|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=978-1-4008-6632-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, other scholars, such as [[Stephen Batchelor (author)|Stephen Batchelor]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Stephen Batchelor (author)|Stephen Batchelor]] &amp;quot;Greek Buddha: Pyrrho&#039;s encounter with early Buddhism in central Asia&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;Contemporary Buddhism&#039;&#039;, 2016, pp 195–215&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and Charles Goodman&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Charles Goodman, &amp;quot;Neither Scythian nor Greek: A Response to Beckwith&#039;s Greek Buddha and Kuzminski&#039;s &amp;quot;Early Buddhism Reconsidered&amp;quot;&amp;quot;, &#039;&#039;Philosophy East and West&#039;&#039;, University of Hawai&#039;i Press Volume 68, Number 3, July 2018 pp. 984–1006&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; question Beckwith&#039;s conclusions about the degree of Buddhist influence on Pyrrho&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Trairūpya]] – Trairūpya is a logical argument that contains three constituents which a logical ‘sign’ or ‘mark’ (linga) must fulfill to be &#039;valid source of knowledge&#039; ([[pramana]]):&lt;br /&gt;
#It should be present in the case or object under consideration, the ‘subject-locus&#039; (pakṣa)  &lt;br /&gt;
#It should be present in a ‘similar case’ or a homologue (sapakṣa)  &lt;br /&gt;
#It should not be present in any ‘dissimilar case’ or heterologue (vipakṣa)  &lt;br /&gt;
:When a ‘sign’ or ‘mark’ (linga) is identified, there are three possibilities: the sign may be present in all, some, or none of the sapakṣas. Likewise, the sign may be present in all, some or none of the vipakṣas. To identify a sign, we have to assume that it is present in the pakṣa, however; that is the first condition is already satisfied. Combining these, Dignaga constructed his ‘Wheel of Reason’ (Sanskrit: [[Hetucakra]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ganeri, Jonardon &amp;amp; Tiwari, Heeraman (eds.), (1988). &#039;&#039;The Character of Logic in India&#039;&#039;.

* [[Jaina seven-valued logic]] – The &#039;&#039;Saptabhangivada&#039;&#039;, the seven predicate theory may be summarized  as follows:&amp;lt;ref name=Ganeri&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Ganeri |first1=Jonardon |title=Jaina Logic and the Philosophical Basis of Pluralism |journal=History and Philosophy of Logic |date=December 2002 |volume=23 |issue=4 |pages=267–281 |doi=10.1080/0144534021000051505 |url=https://philarchive.org/rec/JONJLA }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The seven predicate theory consists in the use of seven claims about sentences, each preceded by &amp;quot;arguably&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conditionally&amp;quot; ({{transliteration|sa|syat}}), concerning a single object and its particular properties, composed of assertions and denials, either simultaneously or successively, and without contradiction. These seven claims are the following.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Arguably, it (that is, some object) exists ({{transliteration|sa|syad asty eva}}). &lt;br /&gt;
# Arguably, it does not exist ({{transliteration|sa|syan nasty eva}}). &lt;br /&gt;
# Arguably, it exists; arguably, it doesn&#039;t exist ({{transliteration|sa|syad asty eva syan nasty eva}}). &lt;br /&gt;
# Arguably, it is non-assertible ({{transliteration|sa|syad avaktavyam eva}}). &lt;br /&gt;
# Arguably, it exists; arguably, it is non-assertible ({{transliteration|sa|syad asty eva syad avaktavyam eva}}). &lt;br /&gt;

* [[Sign convention]] – Symbols, signs and mathematical notation were employed in an early form in India by the 6th century when the mathematician-astronomer Aryabhata recommended the use of letters to represent unknown quantities.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96&amp;gt;Bell (1992), page 96&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By the 7th century Brahmagupta had already begun using abbreviations for unknowns, even for multiple unknowns occurring in one complex problem.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; Brahmagupta also managed to use abbreviations for square roots and cube roots.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; By the 7th century fractions were written in a manner similar to the modern times, except for the bar separating the [[numerator]] and the [[denominator]].&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; A dot symbol for [[negative numbers]] was also employed.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; The [[Bakhshali Manuscript]] displays a cross, much like the modern &#039;+&#039; sign, except that it symbolised subtraction when written just after the number affected.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; The &#039;=&#039; sign for equality did not exist.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell96/&amp;gt; Indian mathematics was transmitted to the Islamic world where this notation was seldom accepted initially and the scribes continued to write mathematics in full and without symbols.&amp;lt;ref name=Bell97&amp;gt;Bell (1992), page 97&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Modern [[elementary arithmetic]] – Modum indorum or the method of the Indians for arithmetic operations was popularised by Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Kindi by means of their respective works such as in Al-Khwarizmi&#039;s on the Calculation with Hindu Numerals (ca. 825), On the Use of the Indian Numerals (ca. 830)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Al-Kindi biography|url=http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Al-Kindi.html|website=www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071026091801/http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Al-Kindi.html|archive-date=26 October 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as early as the 8th and 9th centuries.They, amongst other works, contributed to the diffusion of the Indian system of arithmetic in the Middle-East and the West.The significance of the development of the positional number system is described by the French mathematician Pierre Simon Laplace (1749{{ndash}}1827) who wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;It is India that gave us the ingenuous method of expressing all numbers by the means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position, as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit, but its very simplicity, the great ease which it has lent to all computations, puts our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions, and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this achievement when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest minds produced by antiquity.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In response, India issued a formal protest calling the claims of Shah&#039;s involvement &#039;absurd and baseless&#039;, with a spokesperson from the Indian Foreign Ministry further stating &amp;quot;such irresponsible actions will have serious consequences for bilateral ties”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-10-29 |title=Canada alleges Indian Home Minister Amit Shah ordered campaign targeting Sikh separatists |url=https://apnews.com/article/canada-india-amit-shah-sikh-c86c66930302357e3159688bede3e4e6 |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=AP News |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-11-02 |title=India protests Ottawa&#039;s allegation its home minister ordered targeting of Sikh activists in Canada |url=https://apnews.com/article/india-canada-killing-amit-shah-sikh-row-84f1a126fb92e6bbc40dbfdbc1f5fd98 |access-date=2024-12-06 |website=AP News |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In June 2025, [[David Eby]], the [[Premier of British Columbia]], asked Prime Minister [[Mark Carney]] to list the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a [[designated terrorist group]]. Later that year, an RCMP report on the Lawrence Bishnoi gang assessed that it had been &amp;quot;acting on behalf of the Indian government&amp;quot; and that its criminal enterprise in Canada was growing. In September 2025, the government listed the gang as a terrorist entity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Bell |first=Stewart |date=13 January 2026 |title=RCMP report says Bishnoi gang ‘acting on behalf of’ Indian government |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/11609940/rcmp-report-bishnoi-gang-acting-on-behalf-of-indian-government/ |access-date=14 January 2026 |newspaper=[[Global News]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Canadian Prime Minister [[Mark Carney]] made a state visit to India in early 2026, where he met with Indian officials, including Prime Minister Modi; the two nations signed multiple MOUs worth billions of dollars, relating to energy, minerals, pharmaceuticals, academics, and more. Carney&#039;s openness towards restoring ties with India has received criticism from some Sikh rights organizations within Canada, in the wake of allegations of foreign interference. In addition, in February 2026, a senior Canadian official told the &#039;&#039;[[Toronto Star]]&#039;&#039; that India was no longer linked to violent crime in Canada, a claim disputed by others.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-modi-canada-india-deal-9.7110805|title= Carney signs deals worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India&#039;s Modi|date=2 March 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This claim was later affirmed by RCMP commissioner [[Michael Duheme]] in March.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/rcmp-says-no-current-clandestine-activities-in-canada-linked-to-government-of-india/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The tower was designed by the American studio [[Gensler]] for its architecture and Canadian studio [[Yabu Pushelberg]] for its interior.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | title = Four Seasons Completes New Residential Tower in Mumbai&#039;s Worli District | newspaper = Hotel News Resource | date = 31 July 2025 | access-date = 29 September 2025 |url = https://www.hotelnewsresource.com/article137485.html }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is located in the [[Worli]] district of [[Mumbai]]. It is part of the same building complex alongside [[Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai]] and the proposed Four Seasons Serviced Apartments building. The tower houses a total of 26 luxury apartment units under hotelier tenancy owned by the [[Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts]] franchise. The tower&#039;s architectural design has a slenderness ratio of 1:10 (floor to height ratio). This, according to &#039;&#039;RP Realty Plus&#039;&#039;, is the only slender tower in Mumbai. Residents were also allowed to customize their bedroom facades.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.rprealtyplus.com/realty-spotlight/four-seasons-private-residences-7651.html|title=Four Seasons Private Residences|work=rprealityplus.com|publisher=Reality Plus|date=14 October 2016|access-date=23 October 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glenn Pushelberg of Yabu Pushelberg stated that the  building concept focused on the interaction between the interior and exterior. For this project, his firm took a minimalist approach in the space, with &amp;quot;bold statements&amp;quot; coming from pops of color or specific finishes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/a-first-look-inside-the-yabu-pushelberg-designed-four-seasons-private-model-residence/|title=A first look inside the Yabu Pushelberg-designed Four Seasons private model residence|work=architecturaldigest.in|publisher=[[Architectural Digest]]|date=6 April 2016|access-date=23 October 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Thar&#039;&#039;&#039; (Thar: ঠার &#039;&#039;Ṭhar&#039;&#039;), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Ther&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Thet&#039;&#039;&#039; (Thar: ঠের &#039;&#039;Ṭher&#039;&#039; or ঠেট &#039;&#039;Ṭheṭ&#039;&#039;) , is the traditional language of the [[Bede people]], a semi‑nomadic riverine community of [[Bangladesh]] and parts of [[India]]. The language is predominantly oral,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://dailyasianage.com/news/282274/habibur-rahmans-drive-to-preserve-thar-language|date=22 Feb 2022|title=Habibur Rahman&#039;s drive to preserve &#039;Thar&#039; language|website=[[The Asian Age]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; lacking a standardized writing system and is spoken within Bede communities across various districts, upazilas and towns including [[Savar Upazila|Savar]], [[Kaliganj Upazila, Jhenaidah|Kaliganj]], [[Munshiganj District|Munshiganj]], [[Sunamganj District|Sunamganj]], [[Joydebpur|Joydevpur]], [[Mirsharai Upazila|Mirsarai]], [[Comilla District|Cumilla]] and [[Sonagazi Upazila|Sonagazi]].  Most speakers are bilingual in [[Bengali language|Bengali]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/daily-star-books/news/unpacking-the-language-the-bede-community-3097661|date=18 Aug 2022|title=Habibur Rahman&#039;s &amp;quot;Thar&amp;quot;: Unpacking the language of the Bede community|website=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of Thar speakers is not well documented due to the community&#039;s mobility, internal dispersion and limited linguistic surveys, some say it is around 40,000.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://alpha.rtvonline.com/english/others/13874|date=5 Jul 2023|title=Preserving the Thar language of the Bede community|website=[[RTV Online]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some say it is an [[Eastern Indo-Aryan languages|Eastern Indo-Aryan]] language of the [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] family,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Thar |website=Multiling Bangladesh |url=https://multiling.cloud/language/thar |publisher=EBLICT Project |access-date=1 November 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[Luish languages|Chak-Luish]] or [[Burmish languages|Burmish]] branch of the [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]] family.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.chintasutra.com/article/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AD/|title=বেদে জনগোষ্ঠীর ভাষা (&amp;quot;Bede Jongoshthir Bhasha&amp;quot; – The Language of the Bede Community)|website=[[ChintaSutra]]|date=29 Oct 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; But most of the time, it is considered an [[argot]] because it is a &amp;quot;secret language&amp;quot; used to prevent outsiders from understanding.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Contains special characters|Indic}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Grammar==&lt;br /&gt;
Thar exhibits distinct linguistic features, including [[syntax]], [[phonology]], [[Phonetic transcription|phonetic]] transformations, verb changes, [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphology]], [[Grammatical tense|tenses]], moods, [[Grammatical gender|genders]], sentence structure, and [[vocabulary]]. The language contains thousands of basic words, as well as synonyms and antonyms, and shows patterns in how social, economic, cultural and environmental terms are expressed and transformed in its [[lexicon]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Quadir |first=Serajul Islam |title=The story of a people through the story of their language |url=https://www.tbsnews.net/features/panorama/story-people-through-story‑their‑language‑496046 |website=The Business Standard |date=14 September 2022 |accessdate=31 October 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Thar exhibits nominal gender and inflects verbs for tense and mood. The language marks three tenses, present, past, and future and employs verb conjugation to express mood. Structurally, Thar follows a [[subject-object-verb]] (SOV) word order, similar to neighboring [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] languages. Verbs typically take suffixes to indicate tense and mood, a feature also found in Bengali. Thar uses [[postpositions]] to mark grammatical relations and maintains a clear distinction between present and past forms.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Quadir |first=Serajul Islam |title=The story of a people through the story of their language |url=https://www.tbsnews.net/features/panorama/story-people-through-story‑their‑language‑496046 |website=The Business Standard |date=14 September 2022 |accessdate=31 October 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The language&#039;s known vocabulary comprises approximately 2,131 words.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Thar |website=Multiling Bangladesh |url=https://multiling.cloud/language/thar |publisher=EBLICT Project |access-date=1 November 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Phonology===&lt;br /&gt;
Thar utilizes the sounds, phonemes and letters of [[Bengali language|Bengali]], though their pronunciation may vary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ঠার বেড়ো জঙ্গৌশলীর ভাষা গ্রন্থ/পাঠ্যত্তর ধারনা |url=https://samakal.com/sahitto-o-sangskriti/article/175398/%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE |website=সমকাল |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some sounds are retained with identical pronunciation, while others undergo modification.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ঠার বেড়ো জঙ্গৌশলীর ভাষা গ্রন্থ/পাঠ্যত্তর ধারনা |url=https://samakal.com/sahitto-o-sangskriti/article/175398/%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE |website=সমকাল |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phonetic analysis indicates that Thar is based on the fifty letters of the [[Bengali alphabet]]. Among these, ten letters ঙ (ṅa), ঞ (ña), ণ (ṇa), ড় (ṛa), ঢ় (ṛha), য় (ya), ৎ (ta), ং (ṅa), ঃ (ḥa) and ঁ (m̐a) are never used as the initial letter of a word. Of the remaining forty letters, thirty-six of them—ক (ka), খ (kha), গ (ga), ঘ (gha), চ (ča), জ (ja/za) , ট (ṭa), ঠ (ṭha), ড (ḍa), ঢ (ḍha), ত (ta), থ (tha), দ (da), ধ (dha), ন (na), প (pa), ফ (pha/fa), ব (ba), ভ (bha), ম (ma), য (ja), র (ra), ল (la), হ (ha), অ (a/ô), আ (ā), ই (i), ঈ (ī), উ (u), ঊ (ū), ঋ (r̥i), এ (e), ঐ (ai), ও (o), ঔ (au), and ৱ (wa/va)—are typically transformed into the sound ঝ (jha/zha) in Thar speech. For example, the Bengali word &amp;quot;চশমা&amp;quot; (čôšma, &amp;quot;glasses&amp;quot;) becomes ঝশমা (jhôšma), and বায়ান্ন (bāyānnô, &amp;quot;fifty-two&amp;quot;) becomes ঝায়ান্ন (jhāyānnô).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ঠার বেড়ো জঙ্গৌশলীর ভাষা গ্রন্থ/পাঠ্যত্তর ধারনা |url=https://samakal.com/sahitto-o-sangskriti/article/175398/%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE |website=সমকাল |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some words begin with ঝ (jha/zha) instead of replacing the first letter completely, this only happens for vowel letters.

Conversely, the letters শ (ša/śa), ষ (ṣa), স (sa), ছ (čha), and ঝ (jha/zha) (not always for ঝ) tend to be replaced with ন (na) in Thar. For instance, শরৎকাল (šôrôtkāl, &amp;quot;autumn&amp;quot;) becomes নরৎকাল (nôrôtkāl), and সবুজ (sôbuj, &amp;quot;green&amp;quot;) becomes নবুজ (nôbuj). Despite these phonetic transformations, Thar also contains a number of unique, indigenous words not derived from Bengali. Besides ঝ  (jha/zha) and ন (na), Sometimes some letters are replaced with খ (kha). &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ঠার বেড়ো জঙ্গৌশলীর ভাষা গ্রন্থ/পাঠ্যত্তর ধারনা |url=https://samakal.com/sahitto-o-sangskriti/article/175398/%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE |website=সমকাল |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Morphology===&lt;br /&gt;
The morphology of Thar has been examined to describe its structure and word formation. The language exhibits distinct patterns in the composition of words and morphemes, indicating both influence from Bengali and the presence of original grammatical features.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ঠার বেড়ো জঙ্গৌশলীর ভাষা গ্রন্থ/পাঠ্যত্তর ধারনা |url=https://samakal.com/sahitto-o-sangskriti/article/175398/%E0%A6%A0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B7%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B7%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE |website=সমকাল |language=bn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The Thar language may have derivation from Middle Indo‑Aryan [[Prakrit]] forms, suggesting a long history of linguistic formation rather than a recent invention,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://indraprasthalawreview.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ILR_Summer2020_Vol-1_Iss.1-1.pdf|title=ILR Summer 2020 Vol 1 Issue 1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ethnographically, Thar shows influence from older Eastern Indo-Aryan forms and from the dialects of [[Rakhine language|Rakhine]] and [[Sak language|Chak]] speakers in [[Myanmar]], [[Mizoram]] and the [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Bedey|title=Bedey}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Many of its words originate from the early Prakrit form of Bengali. It was also influenced by [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Arabic]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[English language|English]] and [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] besides [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Rakhine people|Arakanese]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Status and usage==&lt;br /&gt;
The Thar language is spoken by Bede or other river gyspy people only, not in mainstream society.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.tbsnews.net/features/panorama/story-people-through-story-their-language-496046|title=People Through Story: Their Language |date=14 September 2022 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://en.prothomalo.com/opinion/prygz8ek42|title=Reviving a language, rescuing a community, and an extraordinary Habibur Rahman |date=30 October 2022 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Thar language developed as a &amp;quot;community code&amp;quot; to be used internally. The language has no formal recognition or use in government activities. It is listed among &amp;quot;ethnic languages&amp;quot; in a digitisation project of Bangladesh&#039;s government (for 40 endangered ethnic languages) including &amp;quot;Thar&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Bangladesh to digitally preserve 40 ethnic languages |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/bangladesh-digitally-preserve-40-ethnic-languages-3313571 |website=The Daily Star |date=7 May 2023 |access-date=30 October 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Over time, modern developments have altered the Bede way of life, which in turn impacts the language. For example, more Bede children speak Bengali and fewer speak Thar regularly. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.observerbd.com/news/479488|title=Preserve cultural heritage of our Bede community}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Because the language is spoken in scattered communities across the [[Ganges Delta]] and plains, it has many dialects, subdialects and variations, some of which are unintelligible to one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thar is endangered, the language is used by fewer people, transmission to younger generations is weak and mainstream Bangla (Bengali) dominates.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://docslib.org/doc/3021644/everyday-challenges-and-overall-social-impact-of-the-bede-community-in-a-quest-for-equality-in-the-society-of-bangladesh|title=Everyday Challenges and Overall Social Impact of the Bede Community: In a Quest for Equality in the Society of Bangladesh}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.observerbd.com/news/479488|title=Preserve cultural heritage of our Bede community}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparison==&lt;br /&gt;
Thar is close to [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Rakhine language|Arakanese]], [[Sak language|Chak]] and nearby [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] languages. Here is a comparison between [[Bengali language|Standard Bengali]], Thar (Dhaka) and [[Romani language|Romani]] ([[Vlax Romani language|Vlax]]):&lt;br /&gt;

==In popular culture==&lt;br /&gt;
The Thar language is the subject of a book by [[Habibur Rahman (police officer)|Habibur Rahman]], titled &amp;quot;Thar: Bede Jonogoshthhir Bhasha&amp;quot; (2022), which describes its grammar, vocabulary and use among native speakers. The book also examines the social and cultural context of the language, including traditional expressions, oral stories, and everyday communication practices. As one of the few sources documenting the language in detail, it has been used in linguistic studies, educational materials and initiatives aimed at promoting awareness and preservation. Through this publication, the language has reached a wider audience beyond its native-speaking community, helping to highlight its distinctive features and the cultural heritage of its speakers. The book has also encouraged interest in further research and documentation of the language, providing a foundation for future works on its structure and usage.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/daily-star-books/news/unpacking-the-language-the-bede-community-3097661|date=18 Aug 2022|title=Habibur Rahman&#039;s &amp;quot;Thar&amp;quot;: Unpacking the language of the Bede community|website=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of Chawinda&#039;&#039;&#039; was a major engagement between [[Pakistan]] and [[India]] during the [[Indo-Pakistani war of 1965]] as part of the [[Sialkot District|Sialkot]] campaign. It is well known as being one of the largest [[tank]] battles in history since the [[Battle of Kursk]], which was fought between the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Nazi Germany]] in [[World War II]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Haskew2015&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{cite book |author=Michael E. Haskew |title=Tank: 100 Years of the World&#039;s Most Important Armored Military Vehicle |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O8JQCgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA201 |year= 2015 |publisher=Voyageur Press |isbn=978-0-7603-4963-2 |pages=201–}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The initial clashes in [[Chawinda]] coincided with the [[Battle of Phillora]], and the fighting here intensified once the [[Pakistan Armed Forces|Pakistani forces]] at Phillora retreated. The battle came to an end shortly before the [[United Nations Security Council]] mandated an immediate [[Indo-Pakistani war of 1965#Ceasefire|ceasefire]], which would formally end the hostilities of the 1965 war.{{sfn|Pradhan|2007}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;GlobalSecurity.org - Indo-Pakistan War of 1965&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sialkot campaign ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Sialkot campaign was part of the strategy of [[riposte]] that India had devised to counter Pakistan&#039;s advances into [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] (J&amp;amp;K).&amp;lt;ref name=MajorAH/&amp;gt; It called for relieving Jammu by advancing from either [[Samba, Jammu and Kashmir|Samba]] (in J&amp;amp;K) or [[Dera Baba Nanak]] (in Indian Punjab) with a view to encircling the city of [[Sialkot]] along the [[Marala–Ravi Link Canal]] (MRL).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Barua 190&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Barua|2005|p=190}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{sfn|Singh|2013|loc=Part 1, paragraphs 32–33}}{{efn|Pakistani military has long held a theory that the Indian objective was to cut the [[Grand Trunk Road]] at [[Wazirabad]]. The Grand Trunk Road is a major north–south highway that links, for example, Islamabad and Lahore.{{sfn|Bajwa|2013|pp=254–255}}{{sfn|Krishna Rao|1991|p=129}} Some western military analysts also reproduce this theory.{{sfn|Zaloga|1980|pp=22–23}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The canal starts from the Marala Headworks on the [[Chenab River]] close to Pakistan&#039;s border with J&amp;amp;K, and runs to the west and south of Sialkot, eventually draining into the [[Ravi River]] near the town of Narang Mandi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GOC Western Command Gen. [[Harbakhsh Singh]] favoured launching the campaign from Dera Baba Nanak using the [[1st Armoured Division (India)|1st Armoured Division]]. But he was overridden by the Chief of Army Staff Gen. [[J. N. Chaudhuri]], who created a new [[I Corps (India)|I Corps]] under the command of Lt. Gen. Pat Dunn for the purpose. It would operate from Samba.{{sfn|Pradhan|2007|pp=49–50}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gen. Dunn was given an assortment of units. In addition to the [[1st Armoured Division (India)|1st Armoured Division]] under Maj. Gen. Rajinder Singh, he had:{{sfn|Pradhan|2007|p=50}}{{sfn|Bajwa|2013|pp=252–253}}&lt;br /&gt;
* the 6th Mountain Division under Maj. Gen. [[Siri Kanth Korla|S. K. Korla]]&lt;br /&gt;
* the 14th Infantry Division under Maj. Gen. Ranjeet Singh and&lt;br /&gt;
* the 26th Infantry Division under Maj. Gen. M. L. Thapan.&lt;br /&gt;
The new corps was still in the process of formation when the hostilities broke out in September 1965. Some of the units were also under-strength because of their forces being tied up elsewhere.{{sfn|Chakravorty|1992a|p=194}} According to the Indian official history, the force contained 11 infantry brigades and 6 tank regiments.{{sfn|Chakravorty|1992a|p=223}}{{efn|However, the history lists only 5 tank regiments in the composition: 4 Horse, 16 Cav, 17 Horse, 2 Lancers and 62 Cav.{{sfn|Chakravorty|1992a|p=194}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pakistani defence ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Pakistani forces opposing the Indian thrust were part of [[I Corps (Pakistan)|Pakistan&#039;s I Corps]] under Lt. Gen. [[Bakhtiar Rana]]. Included in it were:{{sfn|Bajwa|2013|pp=253–254}}&lt;br /&gt;
* the [[6th Armoured Division (Pakistan)|6th Armoured Division]] commanded by Maj. Gen. [[Abrar Hussain (general)|Abrar Hussain]], &lt;br /&gt;
* the 4th Artillery Corps under Brig. Amjad Ali Khan Chaudhury (affiliated to the 6th Armoured Division), and&lt;br /&gt;
* the 15th Infantry Division under Brig. S. M. Ismail.&lt;br /&gt;
The 15th Infantry Division was a mixed infantry and armour force, with four pairs of a brigade and an armoured regiment each. However, only one out of the four pairs (the 24th Brigade and 25th Cavalry) was in the conflict area when the Indian campaign started.{{sfn|Bajwa|2013|pp=253–254}} They were based in and around Chawinda. The 24th Brigade was commanded by Brig. Abdul Ali Malik and the 25th Cavalry was led by Lt. Col. Nisar Ahmed Khan.{{sfn|Nawaz|2008|pp=224,&amp;amp;nbsp;225}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 6th Armoured Division, normally based at [[Gujranwala]], was moved to [[Pasrur]] in preparation for the war.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Nawaz|2008|p=224}}: &amp;quot;When news of the Indian attack came, he was told to move his troops to Pasrur on the night of 6/7 September as reserve for the 1 Corps. The move occurred during the night. Then at midnight, the division’s staff were told to return to their previous position around Gujranwala by 05:00 hours on 7 September! ... GHQ seemed to be making decisions quite arbitrarily.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It had three cavalry regiments: [[Guides Cavalry|10th Cavalry]] (also called the Guides Cavalry), the [[22nd Cavalry (Pakistan)|22nd Cavalry]] and the [[11th Cavalry (Frontier Force)|11th Cavalry]].{{sfn|Higgins|2016|p=46}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvnb|Bajwa|2013|pp=253–254}}. Bajwa does not list 11th Cavalry as being part of the 6th Armoured Division. But it is said to have came under its command from 8 September.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The 11th Cavalry, along with the 4th Artillery Corps, was in Chamb as part of [[Operation Grand Slam]] when the operations started. The units were recalled and deployed in the vicinity of [[Battle of Phillora|Phillora]] by 8 September.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later reinforcements included the 8th Infantry Division and 1st Armoured Division.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;

The main striking force of the [[Indian Army|Indian]] [[I Corps (India)|I Corps]] was the [[1st Armoured Division (India)|1st Armoured Division]], which was supported by the 14th Infantry and 6th Mountain divisions. [[Indian Armed Forces|Indian forces]] seized the [[India–Pakistan border|border]] area on 7 September 1965. This was followed by a short engagement at Jassoran in which the Pakistanis suffered losses in the form of about 10 tanks, consequently ensuring complete Indian dominance over the Sialkot-Pasrur railway.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gupta_1965&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=India-Pakistan war, 1965, Volume 1 |last=Gupta |first=Hari Ram |year=1946 |publisher=Haryana Prakashan, 1967 |pages=181–182 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.111576/page/n209/mode/2up |via=archive.org}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{failed verification|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Realizing the severe threat posed by the Indians in Sialkot, the Pakistanis rushed two regiments of the [[6th Armoured Division (Pakistan)|6th Armoured Division]] from Chamb, Indian-administered [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] (located today in Pakistani-administered [[Azad Kashmir|Azad Jammu and Kashmir]]) to the [[Sialkot District|Sialkot sector]] to support the Pakistani [[7th Infantry Division (Pakistan)|7th Infantry Division]] fighting there. These units, supported by an independent tank destroyer [[Squadron (army)|squadron]], amounted to about 135 tanks; 24 [[M47 Patton|M47]] and [[M48 Patton]]s, about 15 M36B1s and the rest [[M4 Sherman|Shermans]]. The majority of the [[United States|American]] Pattons belonged to the new 25th Cavalry under the command of [[Lieutenant colonel|Lieutenant Colonel]] Nisar Ahmed Khan, which was sent to [[Chawinda]]. Intense fighting around the village of [[Gadgor]] between the Indian 1st Armoured Division and the Pakistani 25th Cavalry Regiment resulted in the Indian advance being stopped.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian plan was to drive a wedge between Sialkot and the Pakistani 6th Armoured Division. At the time, only one Pakistani regiment was present in the area, and it was wiped out by the Indian 1st Armoured Division&#039;s thrust, spearheaded by the 43rd Lorried Infantry Brigade and a tank regiment attacking Gat. The bulk of the Indian 1st Armoured Brigade was [[Battle of Phillora|hurled towards Phillora]]. [[Pakistan Air Force|Pakistani air attacks]] caused significant damage to the Indian tank columns and exacted a heavy toll on the [[Motorized infantry|truck columns]] and [[infantry]]. The terrain of the area was very different from that of the area surrounding [[Lahore]], being quite dusty, and therefore the Indian offensive&#039;s advance was evident to the Pakistani 25th Cavalry by the rising dust columns on the Charwah-Phillora road.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indian forces resumed their offensive on 10 September 1965 with multiple [[corps]]-sized assaults and succeeded in pushing the [[Pakistan Armed Forces|Pakistani forces]] back to their base at Chawinda, where the Indian advance was eventually stopped. A Pakistani counterattack at Phillora was repulsed with heavy losses, after which the Pakistanis took up defensive positions. The situation for the Pakistanis at this point was highly perilous; the Indians outnumbered them ten to one.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the Pakistani situation improved as reinforcements arrived, consisting of two independent [[brigade]]s from [[Kashmir]]: the 8th Infantry Division, and more crucially, the 1st Armoured Division.{{Clarify|reason=two brigades or two divisions?|date=April 2021}} For the next several days, Pakistani forces repulsed Indian attacks on Chawinda. A major Indian assault involving India&#039;s 1st Armoured and 6th Mountain divisions on 18 September was repelled, with the Indians suffering heavy losses. Following this, on 21 September, the Indians withdrew to a defensive position near their original bridgehead,{{Where|date=April 2021}} with the retreat of India&#039;s advancing divisions, all the offensives were effectively halted on that front.{{sfn|Barua|2005|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=FIIQhuAOGaIC&amp;amp;pg=PA192 192]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pakistani [[Officer (armed forces)|officers]] vetoed the proposed counterattack, dubbed &amp;quot;Operation Windup&amp;quot;, in light of the Indians&#039; retreat. According to the Pakistani [[commander-in-chief]], the operation was cancelled due to the fact that &amp;quot;both sides had suffered heavy tank losses.… would have been of no strategic importance....&amp;quot; and, above all: &amp;quot;the decision... was politically motivated as by then the [[Government of Pakistan]] had made up their mind to accept [the] ceasefire and foreign-sponsored proposals&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=MajorAH/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Outcome==&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 22 September 1965, the [[United Nations Security Council]] unanimously passed a resolution that called for an immediate and [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965#Ceasefire|unconditional ceasefire from both nations]].{{sfn|Pradhan|2007}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Midlarsky&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The war ended the following day. The international military and economic assistance to both countries had stopped when the war started. [[Pakistan]] had suffered [[Attrition warfare|attrition]] to its military might and serious reverses in the [[Battle of Asal Uttar]] and Chawinda, which made way for its acceptance of the United Nations ceasefire.{{sfn|Krishna Rao|1991}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the end of hostilities on 23 September 1965, [[India]] claimed to have held about {{Convert|518|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} of Pakistani territory in the [[Sialkot District|Sialkot sector]] (although neutral analyses put the figure at around {{Convert|460|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} of territory), including the towns and villages of [[Battle of Phillora|Phillora]], Deoli, Bajragarhi, Suchetgarh, Pagowal, Chaprar, Muhadpur and Tilakpur.

On 18 December 2024, around 04:00 pm (local time), &#039;&#039;Neel Kamal&#039;&#039;, a privately owned passenger [[ferry]], was headed towards the [[Elephanta Caves]], a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] on [[Elephanta Island]], from the [[Gateway of India]] in [[Mumbai]], India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Al Jazeera&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=At least 13 dead after naval vessel hits passenger boat off Mumbai |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/18/at-least-13-dead-after-naval-vessel-hits-passenger-boat-off-indias-mumbai |work=Al Jazeera |date=18 December 2024 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; An [[Indian Navy]] craft with six persons on board was undergoing engine trials when it lost control and collided with the passenger ferry.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;The Hindu3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; At least 13 people were killed, including three navy personnel, while two more were missing.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Thirteen dead after naval speedboat hits ferry off Mumbai |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gpkzggydjo |work=BBC |date=18 December 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ferry was permitted to carry up to 90 people, including six crew members and 84 passengers.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Rajni Tilak&#039;&#039;&#039; (27 May 1958 – 30 March 2018) was one of the most prominent Indian [[Dalit]] rights activists and a leading voice of [[Dalit feminism]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToPrint_TOI&amp;amp;Type=text/html&amp;amp;Locale=english-skin-custom&amp;amp;Path=TOIH/2011/06/05&amp;amp;ID=Ar01801|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217202834/http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToPrint_TOI&amp;amp;Type=text/html&amp;amp;Locale=english-skin-custom&amp;amp;Path=TOIH/2011/06/05&amp;amp;ID=Ar01801|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 17, 2018|title=Who will clean up the lives of manual scavengers?|website=epaper.timesofindia.com|access-date=2018-02-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and writing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://roundtableindia.co.in/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=6155:need-to-redefine-dalit-movement-rajni-tilak&amp;amp;catid=119:feature&amp;amp;Itemid=132|title=An Interview with Rajni Tilak|date=17 January 2013|website=Roundtable India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She served as the executive director of the [http://www.cadam.org.in/ Centre for Alternative Dalit Media],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.cadam.org.in/aboutus.html|title=About Us - Centre for Alternative Dalit Media|website=www.cadam.org.in|access-date=2018-10-20}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; co-founded the National Association of Dalit Organisations,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Association-of-Dalit-Organisations-NADO/505489719488846|title=National Association of Dalit Organisations-NADO - Local Business {{!}} Facebook|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2018-10-20}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and served as President of the Dalit Lekhak Sangh (Dalit Writers&#039; Group).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.shethepeople.tv/news/rajni-tilak-leading-voice-dalit-activism-passes-away/|title=Rajni Tilak – Leading Voice of Dalit Activism Passes Away|date=31 March 2018|website=She The People}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Tilak was born in Old [[Delhi]], India on 27 May 1958 in a family with limited means. Her father was a tailor whose ancestors had migrated to Delhi from the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Being the first of seven children, she had to give up on her aspiration of becoming a nurse due to lack of financial support and took up a job to aid her family.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://feminisminindia.com/2018/04/26/rajni-tilak-leading-dalit-feminist/|title=Rajni Tilak: A Leading Dalit Feminist Of Our Times|last=Angmo|first=Deachen|date=2018-04-25|website=Feminism In India|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She had an early interest in writing, expressed by writing a poem called “&#039;&#039;Ka Se Kahu Dukh Apna”&#039;&#039; as her first poem.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.museindia.com/Home/ViewContentData?arttype=articles&amp;amp;issid=72&amp;amp;menuid=7161|title=Museindia|website=www.museindia.com|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After completing her higher education in 1975, she joined ITI (Industrial Training Institute) for vocational courses like stenography, cutting and tailoring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activism and career ==&lt;br /&gt;
While in college at ITI in Delhi, she organised a union for girls protesting the gender based discrimination faced by them. She found her strength as a leader, merging this group with the Progressive Students&#039; Union (PSU). She later split from them citing ideological and political differences. She also went on to organise a 4000-strong organisation of [[anganwadi]] workers, to address demands of regularization of pay scale.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://feminisminindia.com/2018/04/26/rajni-tilak-leading-dalit-feminist/|title=Rajni Tilak: A Leading Dalit Feminist Of Our Times|last=Angmo|first=Deachen|date=2018-04-25|website=Feminism In India|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Over the years Tilak became involved in Dalit activism and also made her mark by also challenging patriarchy within the caste dimension.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://roundtableindia.co.in/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=6155:need-to-redefine-dalit-movement-rajni-tilak&amp;amp;catid=119:feature&amp;amp;Itemid=132|title=An Interview with Rajni Tilak|date=17 January 2013|website=Roundtable India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She organised agitations over the [[Mathura rape case]] in 1972 all over Delhi and became associated with &#039;&#039;Saheli&#039;&#039;, an autonomous women&#039;s group. There onward she began working on issues of health, sanitation, counselling for family planning, rape, molestation, etc.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://roundtableindia.co.in/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=6155:need-to-redefine-dalit-movement-rajni-tilak&amp;amp;catid=119&amp;amp;Itemid=132|title=Need to redefine Dalit Movement: Rajni Tilak|last=kuffir|website=Round Table India|language=en-gb|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1980s, Tilak started a union with &#039;&#039;Bharthiya Dalit Panthers&#039;&#039; in Delhi. They opened a Dalit theatre group called &#039;&#039;Ahahwan&#039;&#039; and started a students&#039; awareness programme by establishing a youth study circle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://feminisminindia.com/2018/04/26/rajni-tilak-leading-dalit-feminist/|title=Rajni Tilak: A Leading Dalit Feminist Of Our Times|last=Angmo|first=Deachen|date=2018-04-25|website=Feminism In India|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was associated with multiple organisations, such as {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20170611035623/http://nacdaor.org/ NACDAOR]}} (National Confederation of [[Dalit]] and [[Adivasi]] Organizations), CADAM (Center for Alternative Dalit Media), NFDW ([[National Federation of Dalit Women]]), Rashtriya Dalit Mahila Andolan (RDMA), and many more.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/article/874154/rajni-tilak-1958-2018-was-an-activist-and-poet-who-fought-tirelessly-against-caste-and-patriarchy|title=Rajni Tilak (1958-2018) was an activist and poet who fought tirelessly against caste and patriarchy|last=Thakur|first=Sandali|website=Scroll.in|date=3 April 2018 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, the [[Bollywood]] film &#039;&#039;[[Aarakshan]]&#039;&#039; (directed by [[Prakash Jha]]) caused controversy, as the director was alleged to have insulted Dalits. Tilak was asked to view the film before its release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/HC-asks-for-home-depts-views-on-quota-movie/articleshow/9473515.cms|title=HC asks for home dept&#039;s views on quota movie - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-02-17|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2012, she was part of a coalition of Dalit and non-Dalit writers, scholars, and activists who petitioned the [[National Council of Educational Research and Training]] (NCERT) to correctly represent the role of Dr. [[B.R. Ambedkar]] in school textbooks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/humour-is-by-no-means-exempt-from-prejudice/article3501903.ece|title=Humour is by no means exempt from prejudice|date=8 June 2012|newspaper=The Hindu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot outline==&lt;br /&gt;
The film revolves around Nita (played by [[Supriya Choudhury]]), a young girl who lives with her family, refugees from [[East Pakistan]], in the suburbs of [[Calcutta]]. Nita is a self-sacrificing person who is constantly exploited by everyone around her, even her own family, who take her goodness for granted. Her father, who had had an accident, is unable to make a living. Her elder brother Shankar (played by [[Anil Chatterjee]]) believes that his craft (singing) needs to be perfected before he can make any income from it and therefore the burden of taking care of the family falls on Nita. Her life is ridden with personal tragedy: her lover Sanat leaves her for her sister Geeta, her younger brother is injured while working in a factory and finally she herself becomes a burden to her family when she contracts [[tuberculosis]]. Her mostly absent would-be singer brother is the only person who cares about her in the end. At the end of the film, she screams out her agony, throwing herself into her brother&#039;s arms. She utters her last words: &amp;quot;Elder Brother, I want to live (দাদা,আমি বাঁচবো!).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

In contrast to many [[Bollywood]] films made in [[Mumbai]], India&#039;s main film center, Ghatak&#039;s films are formally elaborate and somber, and often address issues related to the [[Partition of India]]. Although Partition is never explicitly mentioned in &#039;&#039;Meghe Dhaka Tara,&#039;&#039; the film takes place in a refugee camp in the outskirts of Calcutta, and concerns an impoverished genteel Hindu [[bhadralok]] family and the problems they face because of Partition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film is perhaps the most widely viewed film among Ghatak&#039;s works; it was his greatest commercial success at home, and coincided with an international film movement towards personal stories and innovative techniques (the so-called &#039;new wave&#039;). After Ghatak&#039;s death, his work (and this film in particular) began to attract a more sizable global audience, via film festivals and the subsequent release of DVDs both in India and in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Meghe Dhaka Tara&#039;&#039; is strongly melodramatic in tone, especially as concerns the sufferings heaped on the protagonist. As in many of his other films, Ghatak also uses [[surrealism|surrealistic]] sound effects, such as sounds of a [[Flagellation|lashing]] as the heroine suffers yet another tragic twist of fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Music ===&lt;br /&gt;
Jyotirindra Moitra composed the film score. He used classical Indian musical forms and included a song by [[Rabindranath Tagore]], sung to Nita by her brother, Shankar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Dasgupta|first=Chidananda|date=1985|title=Cinema, Marxism, and the Mother Goddess|journal=India International Centre Quarterly|volume=12|issue=3|pages=260|jstor=23001400}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Moitra also wrote the film music for Ritwik Ghatak&#039;s Komalgandhar.&lt;br /&gt;

== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ghatak on the film ===&lt;br /&gt;
The title &#039;Meghe Dhaka Tara&#039; was given by me, original story was published in a popular newspaper by the name of &#039;Chenamukh&#039;. Something in this story stirred me. And that is why Shakespeare&#039;s &#039;The Cloud Capped Star&#039; struck my mind and I decided to pen a new script all together. It could be a bit sentimental, but to throw overtones out of it came to mind gradually. Here I made use of Indian mythology which is a part of my life. &#039;Meghe Dhaka Tara&#039; expressed my thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arun and Teena, a young couple, were walking down the street, laughing and clicking pictures when some auto-rickshaw drivers mocked them. A few minutes later, a few thugs take illicit photographs of Teena, which angers Arun, and he incites a fight. At Teena&#039;s request, Arun stops fighting and walks back while the thugs warn him that they will kidnap Teena in front of him. At the same time, a speeding van kidnaps Teena, taking her to a flat nearby where many prominent personalities live. A distraught Arun is unable to find her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of a few auto-rickshaw drivers, they find the flat but cannot go inside as the watchman does not allow them to enter, fearing that it will create chaos for the residents. They decide to call the police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, in the flat, Mohan and his family, consisting of a wife and their daughter, are planning to move to [[Bangalore]]. Salim runs an illicit business and is desperate to make a thirty-crore rupee transaction with the help of a [[Goonda]] leader. While the Goonda cannot go down as a few other men are waiting for him down the road, he chit-chats with a woman working for Salim. Down the road, a police [[Sub-inspector]] questions Arun and others who witnessed Teena&#039;s kidnapping. The thugs are waiting for the Goonda leader, and two journalists are secretly watching the drama of the crime and reporting it. Arun does not disclose to the police the nature of his and Teena&#039;s relationship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salim calls the woman working for him and instructs her to release the Goonda leader as he is of no use anymore and to leave him to the thugs waiting for him down the road. In turn, Salim asks another guy, a friend of the Goonda to conduct the transaction on his behalf. He reluctantly accepts. Mohan and his family are packing bags and about to leave. While Arun is helplessly sitting, unable to do anything. The CCTV cameras are turned off on the instructions by Salim, which makes Teena unlocatable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Arun reveals that Teena is an online friend of Jeevan, an old police commissioner who has come to investigate the case. On his order, the police search the flats but find nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a few more hours, Mohan goes down the road and creates a scene that alarms the thugs, who promise him that they will find Teena, to locate the Goonda leader. Mohan, Arun, and the thugs forcefully enter the flat, pushing the watchman. The Sub-inspector witnesses the break-in but doesn&#039;t interfere, thinking it to be the only way to locate Teena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the thugs waiting down meets the woman with The Goonda leader and apologizes to her as they cannot track the leader, which reveals that the woman was the one who ordered The thugs to beat and Kill The Goonda leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arun finds Teena Unconscious in the basement. With the help of Mohan, Teena, and Arun, and gets into the car with SI and speeds toward Hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the story is revealed. Teena, Arun, and Mohan, with the help of the woman who is Arun&#039;s sister has made this kidnapping plan. It was done to extract money from Salim, who has harassed them all at some point in their life. They have robbed the money, which is ploy as to teach Salim a lesson. The woman has hidden Teena in a room, and when all the people enter the flat, Arun finds the guy who was assigned to carry out the transaction unconscious, and robbed the money. Mohan Kept the Money in the bag and took the car. The woman reveals the plan to the Goonda leader, who finds that the thugs waiting for him are part of the plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They initially angered the SI but later learn that what they have done is right because they have just robbed the money, earned in illicit ways. The SI asks them to leave and happily calls his wife, walking down the road.&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Delhi-Topra pillar&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the [[pillars of Ashoka]], inscribed with the moral edicts promulgated by [[Ashoka]], the Mauryan Emperor who ruled in the [[Indian subcontinent]] during the 3rd century BCE. The [[Edicts of Ashoka]] were either carved on in-situ rocks or engraved on pillars erected throughout the empire. The pillar, originally erected in [[Topra Kalan]], was transferred to Delhi in the 14th century by [[Feroz Shah Tughlaq]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bhandarkar pp.206–207&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Bhandarkar pp. 206–207&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Pillar edicts in Delhi==&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|Pillars of Ashoka|Major Pillar Edicts}}&lt;br /&gt;
All of the Ashokan pillar or column edicts were made out of [[Chunar stone|Chunar sandstone]] quarried from [[Chunar]] in the [[Mirzapur District]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. They were chiseled at the quarry and then transported to various places in the country. They were chiseled from massive rock blocks of {{convert|1.22|m|ft}} square and {{convert|15.2|m|ft}} long, which were extracted from the quarry. They were chiseled as monolith pillars of size between {{convert|12.2|m|ft}} and {{convert|15.2|m|ft}} in length with an average diameter of {{convert|0.785|m|ft}}.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bhandarkar p.206&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Bhandarkar p.206&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The pillars were cut, dressed, finely polished into circular columns, and carved with edicts, before being transported to various locations in the country.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bhandarkar pp.206–207&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Bhandarkar pp. 206–207&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Feroz Shah Tughlaq]], who ruled from Delhi as [[Sultan]] during the medieval period between 1351 and 1388, was a keen historian, architect, game hunter, and with deep sense of commitment to build public utilities related to irrigation works and establishing urban towns. Feroz Shah, during one of his campaigns, was enthralled by the two spectacular monoliths – inscribed Ashokan pillars he saw, one at Topra near Ambala and the other near Meerut, till then undeciphered – and decided to shift them to his palatial Feruzabad palace in Delhi as &amp;quot;totemic embellishments&amp;quot;. He shifted the pillars from these places and got them erected in Delhi; the former in his new capital and the latter on the ridge, near Pir-Ghaib, his hunting palace. The first pillar was erected in the 1350s, next to the Friday mosque in the new city of Feruzabad.).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sharma, pp. 1, 10-11&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Sharma, pp. 1, 10–11&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=Singh/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=john&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Keay|first= John|title=India: A History|work=The Arm of the Guptas|page=136|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3aeQqmcXBhoC&amp;amp;q=Ashokan+Pillar,+Delhi&amp;amp;pg=PA136|publisher= Grove Press|year=2001|isbn=0-8021-3797-0}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Flood p. 248&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Near the gate of the building that holds the Ashokan pillar, every Thursday afternoon is a kind of &#039;&#039;djinns date&#039;&#039;, as a large number of people visit the place to either mollify or revere the &#039;&#039;djinns&#039;&#039; or genies (said to be a pre-Islamic belief) that are believed to prowl there.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Peck p.82&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Peck p. 82&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Delhi-Topra Pillar was moved from [[Topra Kalan]] in [[Yamunanagar district]] of [[Haryana]] (original location at {{coord|30.12889|N|77.15965|E|display=inline}}), and was erected above the palace building at [[Feroz Shah Kotla]]. It is {{convert|13|m|ft}} high (with one metre below the platform) and made of sandstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inscription in Brahmi script, which was deciphered by James Princep, a renowned scholar in [[India]]n [[antiquarian]] [[Study (art)|studies]] in 1837, conveys the same message as the other Ashokan Pillars erected such as &amp;quot;code of dharma:virtue, social cohesion and piety&amp;quot; but with one difference that on this pillar there is also a reference to issues related to taxation. The building that houses the pillar is a three-storied structure built in rubble masonry. It has a large number of small domed rooms in the first and second floors, with links to the roof. Rooms on each floor have arched entrances, which are now stated to be used for &#039;&#039;pujas&#039;&#039; (worship). It is a pyramidal-shaped structure with reducing size at each level with the pillar installed on the terrace of the building. It is conjectured that originally the pillar had a lion capital (similar to the Ashoka Emblem), which is the [[National Emblem of India]]. Feroz Shah is said to have embellished the top of the pillar with frescoes in black and white stone topped with a gilded copper cupola. But at present, what is visible is the smooth polished surface of the pillar, and an elephant carving added much later.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sharma p.131&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Sharma p.131&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Peck p.85&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Peck p.85&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=hort&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Horton|first= Patrick |author2=Richard Plunkett |author3=Hugh Finlay|title= Delhi|work=Feroz Shah Kotla|page=104|access-date=2009-07-22|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ee1HTcplZS0C&amp;amp;q=Ashokan+Pillar,+Delhi&amp;amp;pg=PA104|publisher= Lonely Planet|year=2002|isbn=978-1-86450-297-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This pillar, apart from the Ashokan edicts, has another set of text inscribed in Sanskrit &amp;quot;below and around Ashokan edict&amp;quot;, in &#039;&#039;nagari&#039;&#039; script. These are three inscriptions of the 12th century AD, by [[Vigraharaja IV|Visala Deva Vigraharaja IV]] of the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Chauhan dynasty]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;US208&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Singh |first1=Upinder |title=Delhi: Ancient History |date=2006 |publisher=Berghahn Books |isbn=978-81-87358-29-9 |page=208 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KkpdLnZpm78C&amp;amp;pg=PA208 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
These inscriptions record the conquests of [[Vigraharaja IV|Visala Deva Vigraharaja IV]] of the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Chauhan dynasty]], which was still ruling over Delhi at the time of Ghurid conquests in the 1190s, and his victories over a Mlechha enemy (presumably [[Ghaznavid]] or [[Ghurid]]).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;US208&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; With this finding, it has been inferred that Visala Deva reused this pillar to record his triumphs in wars.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Flood pp.249–250&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Flood pp.249–250&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are also two 16th century inscriptions: a short Sanskrit one by a writer named Ama, and a longer one in a mix of Sanskrit and Persian, mentioning the ruler [[Ibrahim Lodhi]] (ruled 1517–1526) of the [[Lodhi dynasty]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;US208&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Transportation techniques==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sirat i-Firuz Shahi 14th century illustration of the transportation of the Topra pillar to Delhi.jpg|thumb|Transportation of the Topra pillar to Delhi. Sirat i-Firuz Shahi, 14th century illustration.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The transportation of the massive pillars to Delhi, planned under the direction of Sultan Feruz Shah, was documented by contemporary historian Shams-i-Siraj.&amp;lt;ref name=john/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;Bhandarkar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Bhandarkar pp. 207–209&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truncated pillar now at the ruined palace of Feruz Shah came from Khizrabad, in the upstream reaches of the [[Yamuna River]], about {{convert|90|km|mi}} from Delhi. The transportation of the pillar was highly demanding, requiring soldiers (both cavalry and foot) to pitch in with all tools and tackles to transport it to Delhi. Silk cotton from the [[Bombax|Silk cotton tree]], the &#039;&#039;simal&#039;&#039;, was gathered in large quantities to surround the pillar before it was lowered horizontally to the ground. The covering was then removed, and replaced by reeds and raw hide to protect the pillar. A 42-wheeled cart was used to transport it to the river bank, where it was loaded onto a large boat. The cart required 8,400&amp;amp;nbsp;men to move it, 200 to each wheel.&amp;lt;ref name=john/&amp;gt; A purpose-built palatial building was constructed out of stone and lime mortar to house the pillar. The square base stone was placed at the base of the pillar before the task was completed. The building is now in a ruined state, but the pillar still stands as it was erected.&amp;lt;ref name=john/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;Bhandarkar&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Lingam|Shivalinga]] of the temple was made by joining two celestial stones fallen from the sky at two different villages near the present temple. Since the divine stones came from the sky, so the Shivalinga is also known as &#039;&#039;Baba Adbhutanath Aakash Margi Mahadev&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |title=अन्हारी के बाबा अद्भूतनाथ शिव मंदिर सज धज कर तैयार |url=https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/sitamarhi/story-baba-adbhutnath-shiva-temple-of-anhari-is-all-decorated-and-ready-10505519.html |work=Hindustan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Bharat |first=E.

&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the priest &#039;&#039;Roshan Jha&#039;&#039; of the temple and the villager &#039;&#039;Ramesh Kumar&#039;&#039;,  Once a day in the year 1288 CE at morning, it rained with thunder. Then a celestial stone was seen falling towards the earth and soon the celestial stone broke into two parts before it fell on the earth. One part of the celestial stone fell in Anahari village and the other part in the fields of Rewasi village in the Sitamarhi district. After that it became dark during the day. It is said that Lord Shiva appeared in the dream of a [[Brahmin]] of &#039;&#039;Ransambha&#039;&#039;. And Lord Shiva said to join the two pieces of the celestial stone. After that the villagers joined the two pieces of the celestial stone and started worshipping the joined celestial stone as [[Lingam|Shivalinga]]. The village was earlier known as &#039;&#039;Ujiarpur&#039;&#039; but during the fall of the celestial stone, the day became dark, so later it was called Anahari village. The term Anahari is associated with the darkness, so the village was later called as Anahari. The worship in the temple started from the year 1288 CE.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;St. Joseph&#039;s Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School&#039;&#039;&#039; is an all-girls day school, located on Siruvallur High Road at [[Perambur]] in the city of [[Chennai]] that was founded in 1883 by Fr. J. Allen, initially as an attachment to &#039; Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine &#039;. It is now managed by the [[Presentation Sisters]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 1842, the [[Presentation Sisters]] established their congregation on Indian soil. In 1883, it was found imperative to bring into being an institution to cater to the educational requirements of the children. The erstwhile Archbishop of Madras cum parish priest of the &#039; Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes &#039;, Rev. Fr. J. Allen was the first manager of the school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Anuradha N. Naik&#039;&#039;&#039; is an Indian researcher working at the Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute (CCARI) in [[Goa]]. She received the 2018 [[Nari Shakti Puraskar]] for her work supporting tribal women in cultivating [[Khola chilli]]es.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anuradha N. Naik comes from  [[Goa]] and studied in the department of Botany at [[Goa University]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-130319&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Goan botanist helps tribals conserve, promote Khola chilli, gets nat&#039;l award |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/68382920.cms |access-date=11 December 2020 |work=The Times of India |agency=TNN |date=13 March 2019 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Congrats&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Congratulations |url=https://www.unigoa.ac.in/uploads/confg_docs/20190311.103432~Anuradha-Naik.pdf |website=unigoa.ac.in |publisher=University of Goa |access-date=11 December 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Naik worked as a researcher at the [[National Institute of Oceanography, India|National Institute of Oceanography]] (NIO) and then at the [[Indian Council of Agricultural Research]]&#039;s Central Coastal Agricultural Research Institute (CCARI).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-130319&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Spicy&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Pawaskar |first1=Bharati |title=The spicy side of Goan heritage |url=https://www.thegoan.net//the-spicy-side-of-goan-heritage/50035.html |access-date=11 December 2020 |work=The Goan |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Whilst at CCARI, she noticed the red Khola chillies lying in the sun to dry when visiting [[Cabo de Rama]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Spicy&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The chillies take their name from the village of Khola and are only grown on hillsides in the [[Canacona]] region during the monsoon season.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-060720&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Sayed |first1=Nida |title=Agri dept to try growing Khola chillies on flat land|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/agri-dept-to-try-growing-khola-chillies-on-flat-land/articleshow/76804361.cms |access-date=11 December 2020 |work=The Times of India |agency=TNN |date=6 July 2020 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tribal women cultivating the chillies were at first reluctant to discuss their growing techniques with Naik, but she persuaded them of the value of scientific research.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Spicy&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; She helped the women to form a community organisation, the Khola Canacona Chilli Cultivators Group, which packages and sells the chillies at market.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Spicy&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The group was awarded the Plant Genome Saviour Community Award and Naik received the 2018 [[Nari Shakti Puraskar]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-060720&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-130319&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The latter is India&#039;s highest civilian award only for women and Naik was the first Goan to win it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-130319&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2020, the Khola chili was given [[List of geographical indications in India|geographical indication]] status and trials were announced aiming to broaden its cultivation area, although Naik expressed concerns about growing it on flatlands.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Times-060720&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; She had turned her attention to other local crops such as [[Harmal chilli]]es from [[Agaçaim]] and [[Taleigão]], and okra from St Estevav island.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Spicy&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Atul&#039;&#039;&#039; is an Indian politician and a former [[Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha|member of Parliament]] from the [[Ghosi (Lok Sabha constituency)|Ghosi]] constituency in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. According to his election filing he had assets worth more than 6 crore rupees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Atul Kumar Singh, BSP MP from Ghosi - Our Neta |url=https://ourneta.com/neta/atul-kumar-singh/ |access-date=2024-02-23 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Atul Rai was born on 20 February 1982 in Birpur village of [[Ghazipur]] district in [[Uttar Pradesh]] in a Bhumihar family. His father, Bharat Singh Rai, was an employee of [[Diesel Locomotive Works]] in [[Varanasi]]. Atul got his early education from [[Kendriya Vidyalaya]], DLW, Varanasi. He graduated from [[Harish Chandra Postgraduate College]], Varanasi. After graduation, he started his own business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His brother is Pawan Kumar Rai, and his wife is Priyanka Singh.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.patrika.com/mau-news/know-about-ghosi-lok-sabha-bsp-candidate-atul-rai-4428544/|title=जानिए कौन हैं अतुल राय|publisher=patrika.com|accessdate=23 May 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political career==&lt;br /&gt;
Atul Rai joined [[Bahujan Samaj Party]] in 2015. He contested the assembly election of Uttar Pradesh in 2017 from [[Zamania (Assembly constituency)]] and garnered 67,559 votes. In his first election, he lost a close contest with 9,264 votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2019 General Lok sabha election, Atul Rai Contested the Parliament election from [[Ghosi Lok Sabha constituency|Ghosi  Loksabha Constituency]] and won the election by a margin of 122000+votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was dropped in 2024.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rape allegations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2019, a woman accused Atul Rai of rape at his home in Varanasi.  Mr. Rai, who denied the accusation, was arrested a month later and has been in jail since then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2020, Atul Rai&#039;s brother registered a police complaint accusing the victim of committing forgery.  The woman called the accusations as harassment and an attempt to force her to withdraw the rape charge. However, the court, in August 2021, issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In desperation, the woman and a male friend travelled from their state in Uttar Pradesh to the capital, Delhi, and on 16 August 2021, self-immolated themselves outside India&#039;s Supreme Court.  They were live on Facebook as they sprinkled petrol on themselves and lit the fire.  Before setting themselves alight, the duo named several police officials, including then SSP Varanasi Amit Pathak and CO Bhelupur Amrendra Singh, and a judge of MPMLA court Prayagraj, accusing them of conspiring with Mr. Rai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The man died at the hospital on Saturday, 21 August 2021.  The woman succumbed to her death on the evening of Tuesday, 24 August 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this incident, the [[Yogi Adityanath]] government registered an FIR against Rai and ex-[[Indian Police Service|IPS]] [[Amitabh Thakur]], who had announced to contest the election against Yogi Adityanath while leaving everyone else.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Alliance Bank of Simla&#039;&#039;&#039; was a British-run though [[India]]-registered bank that commenced operations in [[Shimla|Simla]] in 1874 under the management of [[Worplesdon Place Hotel, Guildford#Sir James Lewis Walker and Lady Catherine Featherston Walker|James Lewis Walker]]. The bank was established to take over the business of the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[United Bank of India (1866–1874)|United Bank of India]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, established in 1866, which had operations in Simla and [[Umballa]]. Its board put the United Bank of India in voluntary liquidation on 21 March 1874, and Alliance Bank commenced operations two days later.&amp;lt;ref name=Cyclo&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The Cyclopedia of India: biographical, historical, administrative, commercial&#039;&#039;, (1907), Volume 1, p.248.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After 49 years, Alliance Bank failed on 27 April 1923 due to speculation by its management.  At the time that it failed it had 36 branches, including ones in [[Lahore]], [[Lucknow]], [[Peshawar]], [[Rawalpindi]], and [[Yangon|Rangoon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Alliance Bank expanded by taking over the operations of other failed banks. By doing so it was able to extend its branch network and reduce the competition that some of its branches faced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the liquidator for [[Punjab Bank (1862–1877)|Punjab Bank]] (est. 1862), and subsequently opened branches at [[Murree]] (10 July 1877), Rawalpindi (6 August 1877), and Lahore (16 January 1878). Alliance Bank then opened branches at Umballa on 14 July 1885 and [[Cawnpore]] on 1 December 1887. Branches in [[Calcutta]] (15 October 1889), [[Ajmere]] (2 February 1891), [[Agra]] (1 February 1894), and [[Bombay]] (16 February 1903) followed.&amp;lt;ref name=Cyclo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Reserve Bank of India ZTC, Kolkata (Calcutta), Council House Street.JPG|thumb|upright|Alliance Bank, later the Reserve Bank of India, on [[Council House Street]], Kolkata (Calcutta)]]&lt;br /&gt;
Alliance Bank opened its Calcutta branch on 15 October 1889 at 8, Council House Street in Central Kolkata&#039;s [[Dalhousie Square]] (now BBD Bagh). The firm [[Martin Burn|Martin &amp;amp; Co.]], founded by Sir [[Rajendra Nath Mookerjee]] and Sir [[Thomas Acquin Martin]], built the building, which still exists. After Alliance Bank failed, the [[Imperial Bank of India]] took over the building. After the Imperial Bank became the [[Reserve Bank of India]] in 1935, the Reserve Bank took over the premises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alliance was appointed the liquidator of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Himalaya Bank]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (est. 1874), and opened a branch at [[Mussoorie]] on 21 August 1891. Next, it was the liquidator for [[Lloyd&#039;s Bank]]&#039;s branch at [[Darjeeling]] and opened a branch there on 1 January 1896.&amp;lt;ref name=Cyclo/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early In 1913, it acquired some of the assets and liabilities of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Bank of Upper India]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, which had been founded in [[Meerut]] in 1862 and had been the first joint-stock bank in India. This bank had opened a branch in Agra after the failure of [[Agra and Masterman&#039;s Bank]]. It had short-lived branches in Cawnpore and [[Faizabad|Fyzabad]], and more successful ones in Simla (est. 1885), Lucknow, [[Allahabad]], [[Bareilly]], [[Naini Tal]], [[Delhi]] and Mussoorie.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The Cyclopedia of India: biographical, historical, administrative, commercial&#039;&#039;, (1907), Volume 2, p.385.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in 1916 Alliance Bank acquired the Indian business and six Indian branches of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Delhi and London Bank]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (est. 1844). Boulton Brothers, of London, acquired the London business of Delhi and London Bank.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jones (1995), p.407.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Alliance and Boulton Brothers had been associated since 1914.&amp;lt;ref name=Jones157&amp;gt;Jones (1995), pp.157–158.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alliance Bank also acquired in 1916 &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Punjab Banking Company]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, which Sir [[David Parkes Masson|David P. Masson]] had founded in Lahore in 1889. The bank had branches in [[Abbottabad]], [[Dalhousie, India|Dalhousie]], [[Ferozepore]], [[Jullundar]], [[Karachi]], Cantonment [sic], [[Multan]], [[Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Naushera]] (in the North-west Frontier province), [[Quetta]], [[Peshawar]], [[Sialkot]], Simla, and [[Srinagar]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1917 Alliance Bank acquired the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Bank of Rangoon]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (est. 1906),&amp;lt;ref name=Shirras&amp;gt;[[George Findlay Shirras]] (1920) &#039;&#039;Indian finance and banking&#039;&#039;. (Macmillan), p.363.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which had a branch in [[Madras]] in addition to its head office in Rangoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, Alliance Bank moved its headquarters to [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], shortly before the bank&#039;s collapse and closure in 1923.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Failure==&lt;br /&gt;

When Alliance Bank failed, the Imperial Bank took over its assets. For instance, Imperial Bank took over Alliance Bank&#039;s branch in Lahore and promised payment of 50% of the amount owed to creditors.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/64309026/4569701 &#039;&#039;The Register&#039;&#039; (Adelaide, SA),  2 July 1923, p.12 &amp;quot;INDIAN BANK&#039;S DIFFICULTIES&amp;quot;.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IndiaSportsAdministrators14.jpg|right|thumb|240px|alt=text|Indian Olympic Association, 1942]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The background behind the creation of the Indian Olympic Association was related to [[India at the Olympics|India&#039;s participation in the 1920 and 1924 Olympics]].  After the 1920 Games, the committee sending the team to these games met, and, on the advice of Sir Dorab Tata, invited Dr. Noehren (Physical Education Director of YMCA India) to be secretary, along with AS Bhagwat, of the provisional Indian Olympic Committee; Dorab Tata would serve as its president.  Subsequently, in 1923–24, a provisional All India Olympic Committee was formed, and the All India Olympic Games (that later became the [[National Games of India]]) were held in Feb 1924. Eight athletes from these games were selected to represent India at the 1924 Paris Olympics, accompanied by manager [[Harry Buck|Harry Crowe Buck]]. This gave impetus to the development and institutionalization of sports in India, and, in 1927, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), was created at the initiative of Harry Crowe Buck and Dr. A. G. Noehren (both of the Madras (YMCA) College of Physical Education).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dr A G Noehren was National Physical Education Director of the YMCAs in India, and H C Buck was Principal of the National YMCA school of physical education in Madras&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sir [[Dorabji Tata|Dorab Tata]] was important in financing and supporting the movement and became the first Indian Olympic Association president in 1927. Messrs Buck and Noehren travelled across India and helped many states organise their Olympic associations.  Noehren was the first Secretary and [[Guru Dutt Sondhi]] was the first assistant secretary of the Indian Olympic Association, and after Noehren resigned in 1938, Sondhi and [[Moin-ul-Haq|S.M. Moinul Haq]] became the secretary and joint secretary of the Indian Olympic Association.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian Olympic Association was formed in 1927, and since that year was officially recognised by the [[IOC|International Olympic Committee]] as India&#039;s national Olympic organisation.{{ref|IOCIndia}} In 1928, [[Bhupinder Singh of Patiala|Maharaja Bhupindra Singh]] took over as Indian Olympic Association president.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-hNADAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA57|title=Physical Education Class 12|last=Sharma|first=V. K.|publisher=Saraswati House Pvt Ltd|isbn=978-93-5041-921-2|page=57}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Early tasks&#039;&#039;&#039;: &lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Sending teams to the Olympics&#039;&#039;: In its first decade, the Indian Olympic Association selected sportspersons to represent India [[India at the Olympics#Early History|at the Olympic Games in 1928, 1932, and 1936]]. Subsequently, by 1946–47, the Indian Olympic Association took responsibility only to send the Indian team to the Olympics (principally, this meant arranging transport, board, and accommodation), while the separate federations for each sport were responsible for selecting and training competitors for their sport. Reflecting this, ahead of the [[India at the 1948 Summer Olympics|1948 Olympics]], the IOA Council agreed that a team representing athletics, swimming, weight lifting, wrestling, boxing, football, and hockey, with officials for each of these sports, and a Chief Manager, would be entered for the 1948 Olympics. And so, from 1948 onward, India began sending teams representing several sports – each selected by its respective sports federation – to the Olympics. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Securing funding&#039;&#039;: One of the Indian Olympic Association&#039;s main early challenges was to secure funding, so that it could send the national team to the Olympics and finance the related costs of transport, room, and board. It obtained funding from the Indian government, from the state governments, and from various state sports federations.&lt;br /&gt;
Illustrating this, IOA President Yadavindra Singh&#039;s appeal for funding in 1948 stated: &amp;quot;We need about 3 [[lakh]] of [[rupee]]s to finance&amp;quot; the Indian Olympic team for the London Olympics; that &amp;quot;the youth taking part in these games become ambassadors of goodwill&amp;quot; for India; and that &amp;quot;careful selection, intensive training and proper equipment is most essential&amp;quot; to field a competitive team, but that the Indian Olympic Association is &amp;quot;greatly handicapped for want of sufficient funds&amp;quot; for these tasks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Appeal by Yadavindra Singh, President, Indian Olympic Association, 1948&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Indian Olympic Association thus undertook wider outreach with several national sports federations, and essentially became a clearing house that coordinated the sending of multiple sports teams – each selected by their respective sports federations – to the Olympics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;The National Games&#039;&#039;: The Indian Olympic Association had one other major responsibility, that of holding the biennial [[National Games of India|National Games]] (Indian Olympics). It recognised, in the 1920s-1940s, that the promotion of sports in India needed a National Games, because there was no overall national sports federation of India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abdul Ghani Bhat&#039;&#039;&#039; (1932 – 17 September 2025) was an Indian academic and [[Kashmiri separatism|Kashmiri separatist leader]]. He co-founded the [[Muslim United Front]] (MUF) in 1986, later served as chairman of the [[All Parties Hurriyat Conference]] (APHC), a coalition of separatist groups formed in 1993, and was president of the Muslim Conference, Jammu and Kashmir (MCJK), a [[political faction]] banned by the [[government of India]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;m103&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Ashiq | first=Peerzada | title=Hurriyat leader Abdul Ghani Bhat expelled for meeting Centre&#039;s representative | website=The Hindu | date=10 December 2017 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/prof-bhat-removed-as-muslim-conference-chief/article21385135.ece | access-date=22 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;s849&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | author=The Hindu Bureau | title=Government bans two factions of Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir outfit Muslim Conference, Jammu and Kashmir under UAPA | website=The Hindu | date=28 February 2024 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/two-factions-of-muslim-conference-jk-banned-by-home-ministry/article67896485.ece | access-date=22 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and education ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat was born in 1932 in [[Botingoo]]. He studied at [[Sri Pratap College]] in [[Srinagar]], where he completed undergraduate degrees in Persian, Economics, and Political Science. He later obtained a postgraduate degree in Persian and a law degree from [[Aligarh Muslim University]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;NYTObit&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;s826&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=Abdul Ghani Bhat | website=Al Jazeera | date=24 April 2003 | url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2003/4/24/abdul-ghani-bhat | access-date=22 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat began his professional career as a lawyer in [[Sopore]] but left the practice after a short time. In March 1963, he was appointed a professor in [[Persian language|Persian]] at [[Shri Krishan Chander Government Degree College, Poonch|Government Degree College, Poonch]]. He served in the state education department for over two decades until 1986, when he was dismissed from service by the [[government of Jammu and Kashmir|state government]] on security grounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;s826&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;g510&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Life | first=Kashmir | title=Over to Professor | website=Kashmir Life | date=30 March 2016 | url=https://kashmirlife.net/over-to-professor-issue-02-vol-08-100506/ | access-date=23 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Activism ===&lt;br /&gt;
In July 1986, Bhat co-founded the [[Muslim United Front]] (MUF), a political coalition of religious and social groups. The MUF contested the [[1987 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election]]s, which were later alleged by observers and opposition groups to have been rigged. Following the elections, he was arrested and spent several months in jail.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;s826&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;g510&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In the aftermath, the MUF fragmented, with Bhat reviving the Muslim Conference, Jammu and Kashmir (MCJK) as one of its successor factions, while the [[Jammu and Kashmir National Conference]] (JKNC) continued as the state&#039;s ruling party.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;u105&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=Interview: Abdul Ghani Bhat, MG Vol. 1 No. 13 | website=milligazette.com | date=15 August 1947 | url=https://www.milligazette.com/Archives/15-7-2000/Art18.htm | access-date=23 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004, Bhat, as a leader of the Hurriyat Conference, took part in a delegation that met [[Prime Minister]] [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]] and deputy Prime Minister [[L. K. Advani]] in [[New Delhi]] for talks on the [[Kashmir conflict|Kashmir issue]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;j217&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Reshi | first=Haroon | title=Kashmir fondly remembers Atal Bihari Vajpayee | website=National Herald | date=17 August 2018 | url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/obituary/kashmir-fondly-remembers-atal-bihari-vajpayee | access-date=23 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also took up the Kashmir issue with the then prime minister of India, [[Manmohan Singh]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;b091&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Lone | first=Sameer Showkin | title=With Geelani taking the backseat, will Professor now drive Hurriyat? | website=dailyO | date=30 June 2020 | url=https://www.dailyo.in/politics/hurriyat-conference-sas-geelani-abdul-gani-bhat-kashmir-mirwaiz-umar-farooq-33217 | access-date=23 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[2016–2017 Kashmir unrest]] in aftermath of the killing of [[Hizbul Mujahideen]] leader [[Burhan Wani]], Bhat distanced himself [[Stone pelting in Kashmir|from the street protest]]s. He also criticised the Hurriyat&#039;s practice of issuing shutdown calendars, arguing that such tactics are ineffective and instead proposed alternative approaches to resolve the conflict.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;b091&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2017, Bhat was removed from his position as president of the MCJK amid internal disagreements over his reported meeting with India&#039;s interlocutor, [[Dineshwar Sharma]]. The removal was initiated by other party leaders, including Mohammad Sultan Magray, who was appointed acting president.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | last=Ashiq | first=Peerzada | title=Hurriyat leader Abdul Ghani Bhat expelled for meeting Centre&#039;s representative | website=The Hindu | date=10 December 2017 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/prof-bhat-removed-as-muslim-conference-chief/article21385135.ece | access-date=23 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat also mentored [[Mukhtar Ahmed Waza]] from his teen years into a Politician and intellectual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Death ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat died on 17 September 2025, at the age of 93.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|date=17 September 2025|title=Prof Abdul Gani Bhat Passes Away at 89|website=Kashmir Life|url=https://kashmirlife.net/prof-abdul-ghani-bhat-passes-away-at-89-405709/|access-date=17 September 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=18 September 2025 |title=Abdul Gani Bhat, former Hurriyat chairman and &#039;voice of moderation&#039;, passes away at 93 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/abdul-gani-bhat-former-hurriyat-chairman-and-voice-of-moderation-passes-away-at-90-10256448/ |access-date=18 September 2025 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Pumpwell&#039;&#039;&#039;  is one of the busiest junctions in [[Mangalore]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. It is just {{Convert|3|km|mi}} away from [[Hampankatta]], a major commercial centre, {{Convert|3|km|mi}} from [[Mangalore Central railway station]], and {{Convert|2.3|km|mi}} from [[Mangalore Junction railway station]]. [[Karnataka Bank]], one of the major public sector banks of India, has a head office at Pumpwell. The junction plays a significant role in city transport due to the number of important roads including [[National Highway 66 (India)|NH-66]], [[Virajpet]]-[[Byndoor]] road that passes through this location. Mangalore - Bangalore highway [[National Highway 75 (India)|NH-75]], which connects two big cities of Karnataka, originates here. Additionally, there is a proposal to build new a bus stand under public-private-partnership (PPP) mode at this location.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/dk-to-seek-rs-10-crore-for-building-stadium/article9222458.ece|title=DK to seek Rs. 10 crore for building stadium|date=2016-10-15|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-11-13}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
