Anand, a young man haunted by visions of his late mother Sreebala — a respected police constable — dreams of following in her footsteps. Her voice often guides him through his moments of doubt and despair. Though unable to secure a place in the force, Anand takes up a part-time investigator’s job at a news agency, where his girlfriend, coincidentally also named Sreebala, works as a journalist.

When she begins investigating the mysterious death of Merin Joy, a college law student whose six-month-old case was dismissed as suicide, Anand becomes deeply involved. As he digs into the inconsistencies, disturbing truths emerge, suggesting a darker conspiracy behind Merin’s death.

Driven by his mother’s lingering presence and his own thirst for justice, Anand risks everything to expose the truth. But in his pursuit, he must confront a chilling question — will unveiling the real culprit finally bring peace to Merin’s parents, or will it destroy the lives of those he loves most?

== Background and family ==

Singh was born in [[Bhikhiwind]], located along the [[Indo-Pakistani border]] in the [[Tarn Taran district]] of [[Punjab, India]].<ref name=TOI_address>{{cite news |title=Sarabjit's family meets Krishna |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Sarabjits-family-meets-Krishna/articleshow/14459506.cms |newspaper=The Times of India |date=28 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629091628/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Sarabjits-family-meets-Krishna/articleshow/14459506.cms |archive-date=29 June 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> He was fond of wrestling and taking care of rare pigeons.<ref name="about_him">{{cite web |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2013/20130503/punjab.htm#2 | title=Bhikiwind plunges into sorrow | work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] | date=3 May 2013 | access-date=5 May 2013}}</ref> He worked as a farmer on other's fields.<ref name="about_him"/> He was married to Sukhpreet Kaur and had two daughters Swapandeep and Poonam Kaur.

However, another woman named Baljinder Kaur disputed Dalbir's relation to Singh and claimed to be Singh's real sister. According to Baljinder, Singh was the third eldest of ten siblings and Dalbir was not their sister, but had happened to know Singh since 1989; "Dalbir Kaur assured us she had right links and would struggle for the release of Sarabjit on some conditions. We trusted her and let her pursue the matter, only to be pushed out of the picture." Dalbir added that she had nothing to prove her relation with Singh except offering to undergo a DNA test. She also claimed that Singh's real brothers, Charanjit and Harbhajan, were not allowed to light his pyre at his funeral and were "pushed back" by people at the cremation ground. Commenting further on Dalbir, she added: "People have been coming to the fore (after Singh's death) for cheap publicity. They were nowhere when I alone struggled for his release."<ref name="ht">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Punjab/Ludhiana/Sarabjit-s-real-sister-organises-his-bhog/SP-Article1-1089395.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004133455/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Punjab/Ludhiana/Sarabjit-s-real-sister-organises-his-bhog/SP-Article1-1089395.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 October 2013|title=I am Sarabjit's real sister, says Ludhiana woman|work=Hindustan Times|date=9 July 2013|access-date=5 August 2012}}</ref>

This drew a storm of condemnation from right-wing political groups [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan|Jamaat-e-Islami]] and [[Lashkar-e-Taiba|Jamaat-ud-Da'wah]].

Regarding the confusion related to Sarabjit-Surjeet mix-up, Surjeet Singh said that similar Urdu spellings of both the names led to the confusion.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/india/back-from-pak-surjeet-admits-he-went-to-spy/story-6kFYGFUUXiWKHfyfPPU6nO.html|title=Back from Pak, Surjeet admits he went to spy|date=29 June 2012|publisher=Hindustan Times}}</ref> Surjeet also said that Indian prisoners are treated well in Pakistani jails and they are provided with basic necessities.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Indian-prisoners-treated-well-in-Pakistan-Surjeet-Singh/articleshow/14481530.cms|title=Indian prisoners treated well in Pakistan: Surjeet Singh|date=29 June 2012|publisher=Times of India}}</ref> [[BBC News]] reported that in recent years, several Indians returning from Pakistani jails have admitted that they have been maliciously framed by the Pakistani Intelligence for spying for India.

=== Efforts for release ===

On 23 August 2005, Singh's case was taken up in both houses of the [[Parliament of India|Indian Parliament]], where the government was asked to take action for his release.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}}

In March 2008, Singh's family went to Pakistan for his scheduled execution. They met several prominent Pakistani politicians, including former Prime minister [[Nawaz Sharif]] to appeal for his release. Sharif said, "After seeing the plight of the members of Sarabjit's family who have come to Pakistan, any person can feel the pain they are going through." However, Sharif added that he should be released on the condition that India would send him back to Pakistan if further evidence was found against him.<ref name="BBC_hanging_deferred"/>

The Indian External Affairs Minister [[K. Natwar Singh]] took up Sarabjit Singh's case with the Pakistan High Commissioner [[Aziz Ahmed Khan]] and urged him to convey Delhi's hope that [[Islamabad]] would treat the matter as a humanitarian issue.<ref name="BBC_hanging_deferred"/>

==== Mercy petitions ====

After his conviction in 1991, several mercy petitions were filed by Singh's lawyers.  The fifth petition was filed on 28 May 2012 along with 100,000 signatures collected from India. None of the mercy petitions were granted.

==== Free Sarabjit campaign ====

In 2009 British lawyer Jas Uppal started an online campaign "freesarabjitsingh.com"<ref name=freesarabjitsingh.com>{{cite web|title=Free Sarabjit Singh online campaign|url=http://freesarabjitsingh.com/|access-date=30 June 2012}}</ref> Awais Sheikh, Singh's Pakistani lawyer, supported the campaign.<ref name=BBC_UK_lawyer/>

Bollywood actor and activist [[Raza Murad]] also campaigned for his release. As of June 2012, he had 138,226 signatures. The campaign continued after the Pakistani government's reversal regarding Singh's release in June 2012.<ref name=TOI_raza_intensify>{{cite news|title=Raza Murad to intensify his 'Free Sarabjit' campaign|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Raza-Murad-to-intensify-his-Free-Sarabjit-campaign/articleshow/14635292.cms|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103145520/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-03/news-interviews/32523226_1_free-sarabjit-free-sarabjit-indian-prisoner-sarabjit-singh|url-status=live|archive-date=3 January 2013|access-date=5 July 2012|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=3 July 2012}}</ref>

The '''Brahmapuri metro station''' is an [[elevated]] [[Meerut Metro]] station on the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut RRTS corridor (also known as the '''Namo Bharat''' corridor) serving [[Brahmapuri, Meerut|Brahmapuri]] in [[Meerut]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]. It serves as a halt for Meerut Metro trains that run at a speed of 120 km/h. The RRTS trains, which do not stop here, pass through the station at a speed of 160 km/h. The station is constructed, owned and operated by the [[National Capital Region Transport Corporation]] (NCRTC). The station was inaugurated on 22 February 2026.<ref name="IT">{{Cite web |date=2026-02-22 |title=PM inaugurates India's fastest metro in Meerut, entire Namo Bharat corridor |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-namo-bharat-delhi-meerut-rrts-meerut-metro-yogi-adityanath-inauguration-2872326-2026-02-22|access-date=2026-02-22 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-02-22 |title=Delhi–Meerut RRTS now fully operational: Will improved connectivity drive real estate demand along the corridor? |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/real-estate/delhimeerut-rrts-now-fully-operational-will-improved-connectivity-drive-real-estate-demand-along-the-corridor-101771743611396.html |access-date=2026-02-22 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
The station is part of the 23 km-long Meerut Metro segment within the Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor. Construction works began in 2020 under the supervision of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). All major civil works and finishing works, including electrical and platform installations, were completed by January 2026, paving the way for the station's inauguration with the entire RRTS and metro corridors on 22 February 2026.<ref name="IT"/><ref>{{cite web |date=April 2025 |title=Delhi–Meerut RRTS construction update: Brahmapuri metro station nears completion |url=https://meerutmetro.in/brahmapuri-meerut-metro-station|access-date=6 March 2026 |publisher=Meerut Metro}}</ref>

== Location ==
The station is located on the old [[Delhi]] road running from [[Meerut|Meerut's]] historic city centre to the [[Delhi–Meerut Expressway]], just beside the junction of Old Delhi Road and Lajpat Rai Marg–one of Meerut's busiest roads, and is surrounded by densely populated areas. Thanks to its location, the station provides direct access to local transport routes, commercial and residential zones.

== Design and structure ==
The station is designed as an elevated structure with two [[island platforms]] and four tracks. The platforms have metro tracks on one side and RRTS tracks on the other. Only one side of the platform (facing the metro tracks) is accessible to passengers, with doors opening onto the metro trains. The other side of the platform (facing the RRTS tracks) is inaccessible to passengers, as RRTS trains pass through without stopping at these stations, thus technically making the platforms [[side platforms]]. This design has optimized land use and reduced construction costs, while also leaving space for future expansion or modifications.

=== Facilities ===

* Four lifts and six escalators
* Passenger waiting areas
* Ticket vending machines and smartcard facilities
* CCTV surveillance and security systems
* [[Platform screen doors]] (PSDs)
* Dedicated facilities for physically challenged passengers
* Parking and drop-off zones for last-mile connectivity

== Connectivity ==
Apart from serving the metro, the station has made multiple transport options accessible for ease of travel, including local modes like [[autorickshaws]], buses and cabs. These plus points have improved accessibility and have cut down travel time from Brahmapuri to Meerut South, directly to Delhi through the RRTS, to the Meerut city centre, and to Modipuram in the city's north.

|}

== Future ==
In view of rising in traffic due to growth in population, Meerut's city expansion and heightened demand for Delhi, Brahmapuri, along with all 13 stations of the metro, have sufficient spaces to expand into RRTS stations to allow both the metro and RRTS trains to halt for handling passengers. This expansion will make the metro stations aligned with the RRTS services, thus enhancing connectivity between Delhi and Meerut even further in the next 10-20 years.

[[Kannur]], [[India]], has a number of tourist attractions, including beaches, hills, temples, and other monuments.

== Beaches ==

Kannur has several [[beach]]es, including the following:

[[File:Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach 2.jpg|thumb|right|Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach]] [[File:Payyambalam.JPG|thumb|200px|[[Payyambalam Beach]]]]
* [[Muzhappilangad Beach|Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach]]: Kerala's only drive-in beach, located about 5 km north of Thalassery and 15 km from Kannur.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.keralatourism.org/destination/muzhapilangad-beach/85|title=Muzhappilangad Beach – Kerala's only drive-in beach at Thalassery, Kannur {{!}} Kerala Tourism|website=www.keralatourism.org|language=en|access-date=2017-12-07}}</ref> An [[unpaved road]] winding through [[coconut]] [[Grove (nature)|grove]]s leads to the beach.
* [[Kannur Beach|Payyambalam Beach]]: A beach located within Kannur city, featuring an unbroken coastline extending several kilometres. Ships in transit along the [[Malabar Coast]] can be seen offshore, travelling beyond [[Kozhikode]] towards [[Mangaluru|Mangalore]], [[Goa]] and [[Mumbai]]. The beach also has a landscaped garden and a sculpture of a mother and child by sculptor [[Kanayi Kunhiraman]].
* Baby Beach: A smaller beach adjacent to [[Kannur Beach|Payyambalam Beach]]. [[St. Angelo Fort]] is located nearby.
* [[Azhikode and Azhikkal|Meenkunnu Beach]]: Situated at Azhikode, approximately 10 kilometres from Kannur city. The beach features the Meenkunnu cliff, from where views of the [[Ezhimala (hill, Kannur)|Ezhimala]] hills can be seen, as well as a viewpoint overlooking Payyambalam Beach.
* [[Mappila Bay]]: Located near St. Angelo's Fort, Mappila Bay has historical significance and was once associated with the Kolathiri rulers. The Kadalayi Fort and Sree [[Krishna]] [[Temple]] were historically notable.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} Remnants of these structures are still visible. A fishing harbour developed with assistance from the [[Indo-Norwegian Project]] is located at the bay.
* Chal Beach: Located about 11 km from Kannur city. A beach park is available for visitors.
* Kizhunna Ezhara Beach: Located approximately 11 km from Kannur, this beach is considered one of the more secluded beaches in Kerala.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}
* Chootad Beach: Situated about 27 km from Kannur city and 4.6 km from [[Pazhayangadi]]. It is noted for its cleanliness.
* Palliyamoola Beach: Located about 5.2 km from Kannur city. The beach is relatively secluded, and several beach resorts are located in the area.
* [[Dharmadam Island]]: Located about 100 metres from the mainland at Dharmadam, this privately owned 5-acre (20,000 m2) [[island]] is covered with [[coconut]] palms and dense vegetation and is visible from Muzhappilangad Beach. During low [[tide]], the island can be reached on foot from the shore. The island is surrounded by [[river]]s and the [[sea]]. Permission is required for entry. Dharmadam, formerly known as Dharmapattanam, was once a [[Buddhists|Buddhist]] stronghold.

== Snake Park ==

The Snake Park is a landmark in Kannur district, located at [[Parassinikkadavu]] on the route from Kannur to Taliparamba, about {{convert|2|km}} from National Highway 17. The park houses a wide range of snakes and other small animals. It also conducts live demonstrations in which trained personnel handle and explain various species of snakes, including [[cobra]]s and members of the [[viper]] family, with the aim of addressing common myths and superstitions associated with snakes.

The Snake Park was established by the Visha Chikista Kendra at Pappinisseri and has become a tourist attraction for both domestic and international visitors. The centre provides treatment for snakebites and is known for combining [[Ayurveda]] and allopathic medicine in its approach to treatment.

The park is reported to house around 150 varieties of snakes, including the [[Indian cobra|Spectacled cobra]], [[King cobra]], [[Daboia|Russell's viper]], [[Bungarus|kraits]], and various [[pit viper]]s. It also maintains a collection of non-venomous snakes, including members of the [[Pythonidae|python]] family. A research laboratory for the extraction of snake venom has been proposed for the site. The park is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of snakes, many species of which are considered threatened. The laboratory is located about {{convert|16|km}} from Kannur.

Parassinikkadavu is also known for the [[Muthappan Temple|Muthappan temple]], which is notable as the only temple in Kerala where a [[Theyyam]] performance is conducted daily as a ritual offering.

== Forts ==

=== St. Angelo Fort ===

[[File:St.angelo fort side view.jpg|thumb|St. Angelo Fort]]

[[St. Angelo Fort]], built in 1505 by Sir [[Francisco de Almeida]], the first Portuguese Viceroy of India, is situated near the coast, about {{convert|2|km}} from Kannur town. The fort witnessed several conflicts for control until it came under British rule in 1790. It is currently in a relatively good state of preservation and is a protected monument under the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] (ASI). A painting depicting the fort and a fishing ferry in the background is held in the [[Rijksmuseum]] in [[Amsterdam]].

St. Angelo Fort is a prominent historical monument and tourist site. The Kerala Police has deployed Tourism Police Officers at the fort for the protection of the monument and to assist visitors. One of the officers, Sathyan Eddakkad, has written a Malayalam-language book titled ''Vasco Da Gaamyum charithrathile kaanaappurangalum'' (''Vasco da Gama and the Unknown Pages of History''), which discusses the historical background and present condition of the fort.

Although smaller than [[Bekal Fort]] in [[Kasaragod district|Kasaragod]], the fort is known for its greenery and maintained surroundings. Nearby landmarks include [[Kannur Beach|Payyambalam]] and the Government Guest House.

=== Tellicherry Fort ===

[[Tellicherry Fort]] is located in [[Thalassery]] (Tellicherry) town. Tellicherry was one of the important European trading centres in Kerala. In the 17th century, the British established a trading factory north of Tellicherry. Subsequently, they obtained land from Vadakkelamkur, the de facto ruler of Kolathunad, and established a factory at Tellicherry in 1708.

== Paithalmala ==

[[Paithalmala]] is a hill station located on the Kerala–Karnataka border, approximately 65 km north of Kannur. Situated at an elevation of about 1,371.6 metres above sea level, it is a popular destination for trekking. A base reception centre and a watchtower at the summit operate for the benefit of tourists and trekkers. Paithalmala is located near [[Naduvil and Kudianmala|Kudianmala]].

== Ezhimala ==

[[Ezhimala (hill, Kannur)|Ezhimala]], identified as the capital of the ancient [[Mushika dynasty|Mooshika kings]], is regarded as a significant historical site. It is a prominent and isolated cluster of hills forming a promontory, located about 38 km north of [[Kannur]] town. In ancient Kerala, Ezhimala was a flourishing seaport and centre of trade, and it was one of the major battlefields during the 11th-century [[Chola Empire|Chola]]–[[Chera dynasty|Chera]] conflicts.

According to tradition, [[The Buddha|Buddha]] is believed to have visited Ezhimala. An old [[mosque]], believed to contain the mortal remains of Shaikh Abdul Latif, a [[Muslims|Muslim]] reformist, is also located in the area. The hills are noted for the presence of rare medicinal [[herb]]s.

Ezhimala is also home to the Mount Deli Lighthouse, an ancient tower of historical significance. It is maintained by the [[Indian Navy]] and lies within a restricted area. The local beach sand is noted for its distinct texture, and the sea is considered comparatively clearer than in surrounding regions. At [[Ettikulam Bay]], dolphin sightings have been reported. Bordered by the sea on three sides, Ezhimala has gained prominence in India's naval history following the establishment of the [[Indian Naval Academy]] in the area.

== Madayipara ==

[[File:Madayi para in sept.JPG|thumb|Madayi Para in August]]

[[Madayipara]] is noted for its [[biodiversity]] as well as its historical significance. It is believed to have served as an administrative centre of the Ezhimala kings. Remnants of historical structures can be found in and around the plateau. On the southern side of the hill are the remains of a fort known as Pazhi Kotta (''kotta'' meaning fort in Malayalam), along with watchtowers located at its four corners. Between AD 14 and AD 18, Madayipara is said to have been the site of coronation ceremonies of the rulers of the princely state of [[Kolathunadu]].

The hillock, which bears several indicators of historical importance, is also significant from a religious perspective. A pond shaped like a hand-held mirror, associated with ancient Jewish settlers, is one of the notable features of the area. Another attraction is the Vadukunda Siva Temple and its adjoining lake, covering an area of about one acre. The lake does not dry up even during peak summer months and supports local flora and fauna. The Pooram festival of Madayi Kavu (''kavu'' referring to family temples and those located amid dense vegetation), held at Madayipara, has contributed to the site's prominence.

In terms of biodiversity, Madayipara is reported to host around 300 species of flowering plants, approximately 30 varieties of grass, and several insectivorous plant species. The region is also known for rare medicinal herbs. Faunal diversity includes about 100 species of butterflies and nearly 150 species of birds. The [[Atlas butterfly]], one of the largest butterflies in the world, has been recorded in the area.

== V-Pra Kaayal Floating Park ==

[[File:Vpra floating park boat walking path.jpg|thumb]]

'''''Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale''''' ({{Translation|[[Shivaji|Shivajiraje Bhosale]] Once Again}}) is a 2025 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language [[socio-political]] [[Drama (film and television)|drama]] film directed by [[Mahesh Manjrekar]]. The film follows a young girl’s fight for justice after her farmer father’s suicide, which awakens the spirit of [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj]].

The film was theatrically released on 31 October 2025 and received a positive response from critics, but it underperformed at the box office and emerged as a [[box-office bomb]].

== Reception ==

=== Critical reception ===
Anub George of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave 3 out of 5 stars and noted that the first half is emotional, whereas the second half features power-packed action and impactful dialogues. However, he felt the narrative becomes unfocused in the latter half due to the introduction of multiple antagonists, which detracts from the central issue and a solution-oriented resolution.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale Movie Review: An inspiring cinematic experience |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/punha-shivajiraje-bhosale/movie-review/125012817.cms |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref> Aunupama Gunde ''[[Pudhari]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and noted that, despite a slight excess in director Mahesh Manjrekar’s creative liberties, the film effectively portrays the emotional reality of farmers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=शिकलगार |first=स्वालिया न |date=2025-11-01 |title=Movie Review Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale {{!}} बळीराजाच्या व्यथेला घातलेली साद - पुन्हा शिवाजीराजे भोसले |url=https://pudhari.news/soneri/punha-shivajiraje-bhosale-marathi-movie-review-ss88 |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=Pudhari News |language=mr}}</ref> Santosh Bhingarde of ''[[Sakal]]'' awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars stars, praising Hitesh Modak’s music and background score, Abhimanyu Dange’s cinematography, and Mahesh Manjrekar’s direction for maintaining a brisk narrative pace. Despite a few flaws, he described it as an engaging film that evokes Marathi pride while addressing the struggles of farmers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhingarde |first=Santosh |date=2025-11-01 |title=MOVIE REVIEW: महाराज पुन्हा आले तर काय होईल हे दाखवण्यात मांजरेकर यशस्वी ठरलेत का? कसा आहे 'पुन्हा शिवाजीराजे भोसले' |url=https://www.esakal.com/premier/punha-shivajiraje-bhosle-review-a-powerful-socio-political-drama-that-successfully-reimagines-maharaj-in-modern-maharashtra-psn14 |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=Sakal |language=mr}}</ref>

Devendra Jadhav of ''[[Lokmat]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, stating that while the action scenes are thrilling, their length weakens the film’s core theme. He also noted pacing issues and some technical flaws, adding that [[Hitesh Modak]]’s music supports the scenes but the songs are not very memorable.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jadhav |first=Devendra |date=2025-10-31 |title=Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale Review: मराठी माणसाला जागं करणारे 'शिवाजीराजे भोसले पुन्हा' आलेत, पण यावेळी...; वाचा रिव्ह्यू |url=https://www.lokmat.com/filmy/reviews/punha-shivajiraje-bhosale-movie-review-mahesh-manjrekar-mangesh-desai-trisha-thosar-prithvik-pratap-a-a998/ |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=Lokmat |language=mr}}</ref> Kalpeshraj Kubal of ''[[Maharashtra Times]]'' gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, praising Siddharth Bodke’s portrayal of [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj]] and the performances of Trisha Thosar, Mangesh Desai, Vikram Gaikwad, and Siddharth Jadhav.

== Controversy ==
Everest Entertainment LLP accused the makers of copying their 2009 blockbuster ''[[Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy!]]''. Everest claimed it owned the full intellectual property rights of the 2009 film after a 2013 agreement with director Mahesh Manjrekar, which allegedly transferred the rights to create prequels, sequels, or other derivative works to Everest. The company also issued a public legal notice in June 2025, asserting that it held the sole ownership of the film’s intellectual property, including the script, music, negatives, and other underlying works, with rights valid worldwide for 60 years. The notice warned that no individual or company, including Manjrekar or other producers, had the authority to enter into agreements related to the film’s rights without Everest’s permission.
The dispute arose in the context of the release of Manjrekar’s Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale, intended as a spiritual sequel to Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy. Everest Entertainment indicated it would pursue legal action in case of infringement.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2025-07-12 |title=EXCLUSIVE: Mahesh Manjrekar’s grand Diwali release Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale triggers IP Battle; Everest Entertainment warns of legal action |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/exclusive-mahesh-manjrekars-grand-diwali-release-punha-shivajiraje-bhosale-triggers-ip-battle-everest-entertainment-warns-legal-action/ |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=Bollywood Hungama |language=en}}</ref>

Based on these claims, Everest approached the [[Bombay High Court]] seeking to stop the release of the new film. However, the Bombay High Court refused to halt the film’s release on 31 October 2025. Justice Amit S. Jamsandekar ruled that Everest had delayed filing the case, even though it had known about the project since April 2025, and had approached the court only at the last moment before the film’s release. The court observed that such last-minute attempts to restrain a film’s release should be discouraged.<ref name=":0" />

After reviewing the material presented by both sides, the court also held that there was no substantial reproduction of the earlier film. It noted that the two films differed in theme and concept, with the 2009 film focusing on the identity crisis of a common Maharashtrian man in Mumbai, while the new film dealt with issues such as farmers’ struggles and corruption. The court further stated that commonly used Marathi phrases and references to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj could not be monopolised under copyright, as they form part of the region’s shared cultural heritage. Consequently, the court declined to restrain the release of the film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-31 |title=HC refuses to stall release of Marathi movie ‘Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale’ |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/hc-refuses-to-stall-release-of-marathi-movie-punha-shivajiraje-bhosale-101761849327701.html |access-date=2026-03-09 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref>

The '''Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution''' is a [[Ministry (government department)|government ministry]] of [[India]]. The ministry is headed by a [[Council of Ministers of the Republic of India|Cabinet rank]] [[Minister (government)|minister]].

== Departments ==
The ministry is divided into two departments, the Department of Food and Public Distribution and the Department of Consumer Affairs.

===Department of Food and Public Distribution===

The objectives of the department are to ensure:

*remunerative rates for the farmers.
*supply of food grains at reasonable prices through the public distribution system.

====Public Distribution System====

The Indian [[Public Distribution System]] (PDS) is a national [[food security]] system that distributes [[Subsidy|subsidised]] food to [[Poverty in India|India's poor]]. Major commodities include [[wheat]], [[rice]] and [[sugar]]. Surpluses of food from increased [[crop yield]]s (as a result of the [[Green Revolution]] and good [[monsoon]] seasons) are managed by the [[Food Corporation of India]], established by the Food Corporation Act 1964. The system implements national policy for farm [[price support]], operations, procurement, storage, preservation, inter-state movement and distribution. PDS has a network of about 478,000 Fair Price Shops (FPS), perhaps the largest distribution network of its type in the world, operated by the [[Government of India|Union Government]] and state governments.

===Department of Consumer Affairs===

The department administers the policies for Consumer Cooperatives, price monitoring, essential commodity availability, consumer movement and control of statutory bodies such as the [[Bureau of Indian Standards]] (BIS) and Weights and Measures.<ref name="Dept of Consumer Affairs - Overview">{{cite web|title=Dept of Consumer Affairs – Overview |url=http://consumeraffairs.nic.in/consumer/?q=node/3 |publisher=Dept of Consumer Affairs |access-date=4 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121212183527/http://consumeraffairs.nic.in/consumer/?q=node%2F3 |archive-date=12 December 2012 }}</ref>

The department is responsible for:<ref name="Dept of Consumer Affairs - Overview" />

*National Test House
*Standards of Weights and Measures
*The [[Bureau of Indian Standards]]
*Monitoring of Prices and Availability of essential commodities
*The [[Consumer Protection Act, 2019]]
*Consumer Welfare Fund
* Internal Trade
* Inter-State Trade: The Spirituous Preparations (Inter-State Trade and Commerce) Control Act, 1955 (39 of 1955).
* Control of Futures Trading: the Forward Contracts (Regulations) Act, 1952 (74 of 1952).

The department regulates the availability and prescribes measures to see that the system works towards the food security of vulnerable people. This intent is to increase dignity, accountability, visibility, positive orientation and changed mind set.

== Production ==
After the success of ''[[Pulan Visaranai]]'', producer [[Ibrahim Rowther]] decided to make another project with star [[Vijayakanth]] and director [[R. K. Selvamani]] titled ''Captain Prabhakaran'', the plotline of the film was based on the forest brigand [[Veerappan]]. The film also was the 100th project of Vijayakanth. Since majority of the scenes were set in a forest, Selvamani who was scouting locations all over India finally zeroed in Chalakudy. The filming was held at [[Chalakudy]] for 60 days.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 September 2013 |title='புலன் விசாரணை' வெற்றி எதிரொலி: 'டைரக்ஷனுக்கு ரூ.25 லட்சம் தருகிறேன்!' செல்வமணிக்கு 'ஜீவி' அழைப்பு |url=http://cinema.maalaimalar.com/2013/09/05231139/selvamani-cinema-history.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101210751/http://cinema.maalaimalar.com/2013/09/05231139/selvamani-cinema-history.html |archive-date=1 January 2015 |access-date=13 November 2013 |website=[[Maalai Malar]] |language=ta}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=6 September 2013 |title=கேப்டன் பிரபாகரன் படப்பிடிப்பு பயங்கர காடுகளில் நடைபெற்ற மெய்சிலிர்க்கும் சம்பவங்கள் |url=http://cinema.maalaimalar.com/2013/09/06231550/selvamani-cinema-history.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101223815/http://cinema.maalaimalar.com/2013/09/06231550/selvamani-cinema-history.html |archive-date=1 January 2015 |access-date=13 November 2013 |website=[[Maalai Malar]] |language=ta}}</ref> Many scenes were also filmed at [[Athirappilly Falls]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=15 April 2022 |title=ரம்யா கிருஷ்ணனின் ராசியை மீறி ஜெயித்த கேப்டன் பிரபாகரன்! |url=https://tamil.news18.com/photogallery/entertainment/cinema-vijayakanth-rk-selvamani-captain-prabhakaran-breaks-ramya-krishnan-failure-sign-scs-731589.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920042524/https://tamil.news18.com/photogallery/entertainment/cinema-vijayakanth-rk-selvamani-captain-prabhakaran-breaks-ramya-krishnan-failure-sign-scs-731589.html |archive-date=20 September 2022 |access-date=20 September 2022 |website=[[News18]] |language=ta}}</ref> Due to excessive rainfall and accidents happened there, Rowther ordered Selvamani to conduct remaining filming at Mundanthurai forest at Thirunelveli; however, Selvamani was unimpressed with that location and choose to film again at Chalakudy.<ref name="vi">{{Cite web |date=13 August 2025 |title=உறுமிய மன்சூர், அலறிய சரண்யா, கர்ஜித்த விஜயகாந்த் - `கேப்டன் பிரபாகரன்' நினைவுகள் பகிரும் செல்வமணி |url=https://cinema.vikatan.com/kollywood/vijayakanth-captain-prabhakaran-re-release-rk-selvamani-interview?pfrom=also-read |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250821135708/https://cinema.vikatan.com/kollywood/vijayakanth-captain-prabhakaran-re-release-rk-selvamani-interview?pfrom=also-read |archive-date=21 August 2025 |access-date=21 August 2025 |website=Cinema Vikatan |language=ta}}</ref> The film had [[Mansoor Ali Khan (actor)|Mansoor Ali Khan]] in his first major role,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kumar |first=S.

== Plot ==
The story begins in a village where a wise woman named Ramanamma raises her two sons, Prabhakar and Sudhakar. Soon after the wedding, Prabhakar acquires a job but then quits, neglecting his family. Ramanamma strives hard to civilise Sudhakar.

Years later, Sudhakar enters college and confronts the dirty politics of a moneybag, Rao Bahadur Nambitonda. Therein, his daughter Padma adores Sudhakar's ideals and loves him. Padma knits Sudhakar without her father's acceptance; however, she cannot acclimate to poverty nor her husband's priority toward his mother. Hence, she detaches him from his mother, which Ramanamma also insists on. This causes Sudhakar to forge as a gambler and drunkard. His nephew Krishna learns about his grandmother and decides to live with her. Ramanamma, on her deathbed, is overjoyed to see Krishna.

Later, Padma becomes pregnant and gives birth to a boy, but Sudhakar splits the baby from the mother. Thus, Rao Bahadur files a case where Sudhakar proclaims that it is a play to convey genuine motherly affection when Padma pleads for pardon. After Ramanamma dies, they now live in her place, including the now-bankrupt Prabhakar.

==Critical reception==
[[Derek Elley]] of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote that "Despite a cast that "reunites" some of Hindi cinema's biggest names, the long-awaited ''Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam'' which finally premiered in late May, reps a major disappointment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2002/film/reviews/hum-tumhare-hain-sanam-1200549063/|title=Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam|first=Derek|last=Elley|date=17 June 2002}}</ref> Omar Ahmed of ''[[Empire Online]]'' noted that "Love triangles are a common device in Bollywood flicks, and sadly, ''Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam'' has nothing new to offer."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/hum-tumhare-hain-sanam-review/|title=Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam|date=1 January 2000|website=Empire}}</ref> A critic from ''Radio Times'' stated that "Nuance isn't a Bollywood specialty, and there's little in the way of subtle shading here but, with its impressive all-star cast and songs from some of India's leading composers, this enjoyable melodrama can't be beaten for big, bold emotion".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/film/nbcjv/hum-tumhare-hain-sanam/|title=Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam – review &#124; cast and crew, movie star rating and where to watch film on TV and online|website=Radio Times}}</ref> ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote that "The film is a ready reckoner for everything that should be avoided in a good film".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Review-Hum-Tumhare-Hain-Sanam/articleshow/11005391.cms|title=Review: Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam |website=The Times of India}}</ref>

Anita Bora of [[Rediff.com]] writes, "A medium-sized dose of love with a big dash of suspicion. Add to it several scoops of friendship. Towards the end, add a few drops of humor". She even says that "The premise of the film is simple. Jealousy. If you discount the fact the 'falling in love' was instant (but when is it not?), the topic is quite interesting. Haven't we all at some point read too much into situations, overreacted, undergone pangs of jealousy that seem downright silly later?"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/may/24hum.htm|title=rediff.com: Movies: The Rediff Review: Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam|work=Rediff.com|access-date=2016-10-06}}</ref>

The '''Kerala Legislative Assembly election of 1967''' was held to constitute the fourth assembly in [[Kerala]].

This election, was held in the backdrop of the [[1965 Kerala Legislative Assembly election|1965]] election which resulted in a hung assembly and subsequent President's rule. As a result of that, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) formed a seven-member coalition known as the [[Saptakakshi Munnani]]. The Indian National Congress and the Kerala Congress contested separately.

The election resulted in a landslide victory for the [[Saptakakshi Munnani]] which won a whopping 113 out 133 seats, the highest won by a coalition till date. The [[Indian National Congress]] suffered a massive debacle, being reduced to a mere 9 seats- the worst performance of the party in the state till date.

Veteran Communist Leader [[E. M. S. Namboodiripad|E. M. S. Namboothiripad]] was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 6 March 1967.<ref name="KeralaLegislature">{{cite web | url=http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776:history-of-kerala-legislature | title=History of Kerala Legislature | publisher=Kerala Government | access-date=30 July 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006101549/http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776%3Ahistory-of-kerala-legislature | archive-date=2014-10-06 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=STATISTICAL REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTION, 1965 TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF KERALA |url=http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/KLA/KL_1965_ST_REP.pdf |website=www.ceo.kerala.gov.in |publisher=ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA NEW DELHI }}</ref>

A total of seven parties contested in the front, and the front was known as ''[[Saptakakshi Munnani]]''. Congress and Kerala Congress contested separately. The total polling percentage was 75

==Constituencies==
There were 133 constituencies in total, out of which 120 were General Category, 11 Scheduled Castes, and 2 Scheduled Tribe seats.

==Political parties==
The national parties contested were the Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Indian National Congress, Praja Socialist Party, Sanghata Socialist Party, and Swatantra Party along with the state parties Indian Union Muslim League and Kerala Congress.

== Government formation ==
The United Front performed spectacularly swept most of the seats. Congress and Kerala Congress were decimated with 9 and 5 seats respectively. E M S became the Chief Minister for the second time. [[Second E. M. S. Namboodiripad Ministry]] had 14 members. For the first time in Kerala's history, the cabinet also included members from Muslim League.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kerala chronicles: When a coalition of 7 political parties came together only to fall apart|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-chronicles-when-coalition-7-political-parties-came-together-only-fall-apart-63905|access-date=2020-09-05|website=www.thenewsminute.com}}</ref> [[K. Karunakaran]] became the opposition leader in the assembly.

==Fall of EMS Government==
CPI (M) and CPI continued to have suspicions with each other. Due to the alleged high-handedness of CPI (M) in governance, most smaller parties were unsatisfied. This period also was marked by a series of student strikes and police firings. CPI, SSP & Muslim League eventually became a group within the front and worked together. Many ministers from the smaller parties resigned eventually, and many parties subsequently left the front. On 24 October 1969, EMS submitted resignation owing to the loss of majority in the assembly.<ref name="KeralaLegislature" />

== Achutha Menon Ministry ==
Within a week of the resignation of E M S Namboothiripad, M N Govindan Nair of CPI informed the Governor that their party was ready to form an alternate government.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} CPI formed a government with outside support from Congress. C. Achutha Menon became the Chief Minister of Kerala on 1969, 1 November. The [[First Achutha Menon Ministry]] had 8 members.

'''Jayatsena''' is a character in the ancient Hindu epic the ''[[Mahabharata]]'', mentioned as a king of [[Magadha]]. He is the brother of King [[Sahadeva of Magadha|Sahadeva]], the son of [[Jarasandha]] who was installed on the throne of Magadha by the [[Pandava|Pandavas]] following the death of their father. Jayatsena is famous for bringing an ''[[akshauhini]]'' to support the Pandavas before the [[Kurukshetra War]], although there is ambiguity regarding his actual alliance during the war itself.

While some verses suggest that he supported the Pandavas, the ''Mahabharata'' also describes that Jayatsena—'the king of Magadha' and 'son of Jarasandha'—fought on the side of the [[Kaurava|Kauravas]] and was slain by the Pandava warrior [[Abhimanyu]]. Due to this inconsistency, scholars have proposed two interpretations: either there were two Magadhan princes named Jayatsena aligned with opposing sides, or the text contains a transmission or attribution error.

== Etymology ==
The name ''Jayatsena'' ([[Sanskrit]]: जयत्सेन) is a compound of ''jayat'' (from ''jaya'', meaning “victory” or “conquest”) and ''sena'' (meaning “army”). Thus, ''Jayatsena'' can be translated as 'he of the victorious army' or 'one who possesses a victorious army'.{{sfn|Williams|1872|p=339-340}}{{sfn|Fitzegarld|1975|p=262}}

Other than the Magadhan king, the name occurs in other several contexts In Sanskrit literature:{{sfn|Williams|1872|p=339-340}}{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}

* As the name of a son of Sarvabhauma (''Mahabharata'' I.3769), and of Nadina (''[[Harivaṃśa|Harivamsa]]'' 1516; ''[[Vishnu Purana]]'' IV.9.8; ''[[Vayu Purana]]'').
* As a pseudonym assumed by a Pandava prince [[Nakula]] while in disguise at the court of King [[Virata]] (''Mahabharata'' IV.176)
* As the name of one of [[Kaurava]] brothers, who fought [[Upapandavas|Shanatika]] (''Mahabharata'' VI.69).

== Identity and Lineage ==
According to the ''[[Adi Parva]]'' (I.67.2684), Jayatsena is described as the incarnation of the eldest of the Kālakeya demons.{{sfn|Buitenen|1973a|p=152}}{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}} He was a Magadhan royal and the younger brother of King [[Sahadeva of Magadha|Sahadeva]], the son of the powerful [[Jarasandha]] of [[Magadha]]. After the [[Pandava]] [[Bhima]], assisted by [[Krishna]] and [[Arjuna]], killed Jarasandha, Sahadeva was installed as king by them. The kingdom subsequently became divided in its loyalties, as various rulers emerged in its western and eastern territories. Jayatsena is mentioned as having possessed some sovereignty in the region alongside his brother Sahadeva.{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}

Jayatsena is first seen in the epic as present at the ''[[svayamvara]]'' of [[Draupadi]] (''I.186.6988''), where he is listed along with Sahadeva of Magadha as a distinguished guest.{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}{{sfn|Buitenen|1973a|p=349}}{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}}

== Association with the Pandavas ==
Jayatsena's loyalty to the Pandavas is clearly established in the ''[[Sabha Parva]]'' (II.44.1538), which mentions him as the ruler of Magadha. During the preparations for war, the ''Sainyodyoga Parva'' provides multiple attestations of his allegiance. In ''[[Udyoga Parva]]'' (''V.4.71–82'' and again in ''V.19.577)'', Jayatsena is recorded as having brought a full ''[[akshauhini]]''—a massive contingent of forces comprising 21,870 chariots, 21,870 elephants, 65,610 cavalry, and 109,350 infantry—to support [[Yudhishthira]]. This alliance is reaffirmed in ''V.50.2014'', where the verse explicitly states, "Jarāsandha's son Jayatsena and Sahadeva—both sided with Yudhiṣṭhira".{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}{{sfn|Buitenen|1973b|p=139, 219, 532}}{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}}

He is also mentioned in the battle narrative of the ''[[Drona Parva]]'' as fighting [[Kaurava]] princes.{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}}

== Association with the Kauravas ==
While the ''[[Udyoga Parva]]'' explicitly mentions that Jayatsena had sided with the [[Pandava|Pandavas]]—along with [[Sahadeva of Magadha]]—several other references across the war books of the ''Mahabharata'' seem to indicate a contradictory tradition regarding his allegiance. In multiple war parvans, a Magadhan king named Jayatsena, also identified as the son of Jarasandha, is repeatedly mentioned as a prominent ally of the [[Kaurava|Kauravas]].{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}{{sfn|Partiger|1908|p=316-317}}

This Jayatsena appears in the ''[[Bhishma Parva]]'' (VI.16.623) as a regional king who brought one ''akṣauhiṇi'' of troops to [[Duryodhana]]'s army. He is referred to as ''Māgadhaḥ'' in ''Bhishma Parva'' (VI.108.5007), where he is described fighting [[Bhima|Bhimasena]]. In the ''[[Karna Parva]]'' (VIII.5.120), he is explicitly called ''Jārāsandhiḥ...Māgadhaḥ'' and is said to have been slain by [[Abhimanyu]]—an event corroborated in VIII.73.3657, which states that the ''Māgadhānām adhipatiḥ'' (lord of the Magadhas) had been killed by Abhimanyu seven days earlier.{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}} His death is again lamented in the ''[[Stri Parva]]'' (XI.25.712), where the Maghadan women mourn the slain ruler of the Magadhas.{{sfn|Fitzegarld|1975|p=69}}{{sfn|Sørensen|1904|p=363}}

== Scholarly interpretations ==
The ''Mahabharata'' does not explicitly clarify whether these refer to one individual or two distinct figures. This ambiguity has led to contrasting scholarly perspectives.

[[F. E. Pargiter]], in his historical analysis, does not accept the alliance of Jayatsena with the Pandavas. He contends that after Jarasandha's fall, Magadha was politically fragmented. Sahadeva, though placed on the throne by the Paṇḍavas, controlled only the western part of the kingdom. The eastern region, including the capital [[Girivraja]], remained under separate rulers—Danda, Dandadhara, and a Jayatsena (or Jayasena)—who supported the Kauravas. Pargiter also mentions another Magadha prince named Jalasandha, who took the same side. He notes that Jayatsena was killed by Abhimanyu, further indicating his position as a Kaurava ally.{{sfn|Partiger|1908|p=316-317}} While acknowledging that some verses (such as V.577 and V.2014) name Jayatsena among the Pandava forces, Pargiter treats these as textual errors or misattributions, where the name has been used mistakenly for Sahadeva.{{sfn|Partiger|1908|p=314}} For him, the key issue is the political division within Magadha rather than the presence of two individuals with the same name.{{sfn|Partiger|1908|p=316-317}}

In contrast, [[Vettam Mani]], in his ''Purāṇic Encyclopaedia'', recognises the existence of two kings named Jayatsena, both referred to as sons of Jarasandha. However, he affirms that the Jayatsena who fought on the side of the Pandavas was the son of the famous Jarasandha who had been slain by Bhima. After Jarasandha's death, the Paṇḍavas installed his son Sahadeva as the ruler of Magadha, and Mani identifies Jayatsena as Sahadeva's brother. To reconcile the conflicting references to Jayatsena's allegiances, Mani suggests that the Jayatsena who supported the Kauravas must have been the son of another Magadhan warrior named Jarasandha, thus proposing a distinction between two individuals with the same name.{{sfn|Mani|2015|p=355-356}}

[[James L. Fitzgerald|James L. Fitzegarld]], translator of the critical edition, lists Jayatsena as an important ally of the Pandavas.{{sfn|Fitzegarld|1975|p=240}}

Kevin McGrath interprets this ambiguity as part of a broader editorial phenomenon in the ''Mahabharata'', where the epic's poets and editors may have been drawing on multiple narrative traditions, each with differing accounts of Magadha's allegiance. The lack of narrative consistency may not have been viewed as problematic by the compilers, who prioritised thematic richness and poetic inclusion over strict coherence.{{sfn|McGrath|2017|p=223}} McGrath also theorises that the shifting portrayal of Magadha could also suggest regional or sectarian interpolations, with different recensions preserving varying versions of the same characters.{{sfn|McGrath|2017|p=53}}

'''Nityananda''' ({{langx|bn|নিত্যানন্দ}}, {{IAST3|Nityānanda}}; c. 1474-c. 1540), also called '''Nityananda Prabhu''' and '''Nitai''', was a primary religious figure within the [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism|Gaudiya Vaishnava]] tradition of [[Bengal]]. Nityananda was [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]]'s friend and disciple. Chaitanya and Nityananda are often mentioned together as ''Gaura-Nitai'' (''Gaura'', referring to Chaitanya) or ''Nimai-Nitai'' (''Nimai'' being a name of Chaitanya).<ref name=Dimock1958>{{cite journal | author = Dimock, E.C. | year = 1958 | title = The Place of Gauracandrika in Bengali Vaisnava Lyrics | journal = Journal of the American Oriental Society | volume = 78 | issue = 3 | pages = 153–169 | doi = 10.2307/595285| jstor=595285}}</ref>

According to Gaudiya-Vaishnava tradition, Nityananda is [[Balarama]] Himself (so is also called '''Nityananda Rama''', where ''Rama'' refers to Balarama), with Chaitanya being His eternal brother and friend, [[Krishna]].<ref>[http://vedabase.net/cc/adi/5/6/en1 Chaitanya Charitamrita Adi-lila, 5.6] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080503154531/http://vedabase.net/cc/adi/5/6/en1 |date=3 May 2008 }}</ref> Chaitanya is considered the "most merciful" incarnation of Krishna as ''[[Svayam bhagavan]]''.<ref name=Rosen2004>{{cite journal | author = Rosen, S.J. | year = 2004 | title = Who Is Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu> | journal = The Hare Krishna Movement: The Postcharismatic Fate of a Religious Transplant | isbn = 978-0-231-12256-6 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=mBMxPdgrBhoC&dq=Nityananda+Prabhu&pg=PA63 | access-date = 2008-06-07}}</ref>

[[Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati]], the early 20th-century Gaudiya-Vaishnava reformer, writes about Nityananda's theological position as the embodiment of the mercy of the [[guru]]: "Nityananda is the Primary Manifestive Constituent of the Divinity.{{clarify|date=January 2024}} Nityananda alone possesses the distinctive function of the guru. In Nityananda, the function is embodied. Nityananda is the servant-God."<ref>'Associates of Sri Caitanya – Part Two, Sri Nityananda Prabhu'</ref>

[[File:Chaitanya sankirtan.jpg|thumb| Chaitanya and Nityananda, is shown performing a '[[kirtan]]' (devotional song) in the streets of [[Nabadwip]], Bengal. ]]
Nityananda was born to a religious [[Bengali Brahmins|Bengali Brahmin]] called Pandit Hadai, and his wife, Padmavati,<ref>Sen, Sukumar (1991, reprint 2007).

His devotion and great talent for singing Vaishnava hymns ([[bhajan]]) were apparent from a very early age. In his youth, he generally played the part of [[Lakshman]], the god [[Rama]]'s younger brother, in dramatic re-enactments of Rama's pastimes, along with the other boys of Ekachakra.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}

At the age of thirteen, Nityananda left home with a travelling renunciate (''[[sannyasi]]'') known as [[Lakshmipati Tirtha]]. Nityananda's father, Hadai, offered Lakshmipati anything he wished as a gift, who replied that he was in need of someone to assist him in his travels to the holy places, and that Nityananda would be perfect for the job. As he had given his word, Hadai agreed, and Nityananda joined Lakshmipati in his travels. Apart from Lakshmipati, who at some point initiated him, Nityananda was also associated with Lakshmipati's other disciples: [[Madhavendra Puri]], [[Advaita Acharya]], and [[Ishvara Puri]], the [[guru|spiritual master]] of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}

]]
Nityananda married two daughters of Suryadasa Sarakhela: Vasudha and [[Jahnava Devi]] with the help of [[Uddharan Dutta Thakura]] of Saptogram. After marriage, he settled in [[Khardaha]], [[24 Parganas]], West Bengal. He had a son, Virachandra Goswami or Virabhadra (who was later initiated to [[Vaishnava]] rites by his co-mother Jahnava Devi) and a daughter, Ganga, by his first wife, Vasudha.<ref>Sen, Sukumar (1991, reprint 2007).

==Legacy==
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2021}}
Chaitanya and Nityananda's deeds have deep religious and cultural implications in Bengal. They are credited with the revival of [[Hinduism]] in Eastern India. Much of Vaishnava literature, regarded as one of the finest literary heritages of medieval Bengal, came from them or their disciples. Chief among Nityananda's disciples were the Twelve [[Gopalas]], who spread the faith throughout the region.
