On 18 September 2024, Pakistan's [[President of Pakistan|President]] [[Asif Ali Zardari]] categorically rejected the J&K legislative assembly elections in the Indian-administered Kashmir asserting that the polls were "no substitute for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Guramani |first1=Nadir |title=President Zardari rejects legislative assembly polls in occupied Kashmir |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1859622/president-zardari-rejects-legislative-assembly-polls-in-occupied-kashmir |work=DAWN |date=18 September 2024 |language=en |archive-date=19 September 2024 |access-date=19 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240919012840/https://www.dawn.com/news/1859622/president-zardari-rejects-legislative-assembly-polls-in-occupied-kashmir |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Minister of Defence (Pakistan)|defense minister of Pakistan]] [[Khawaja Asif]] stated that "There is a high chance the INDIA bloc may come to power and that the bloc and the country are on the same page when it comes to the problems of Article 370 and 35A."

==Plot==<br />
{{Long plot|film|date=July 2017}}<br />
Simran drowns her misery in booze. Her one friend in [[Seoul]] is Aakash, a singer in an [[Indian restaurant]].<br />
<br />
Originally a [[Bargirl|bar dancer]] in [[Mumbai]], India, Simran is the girlfriend of a notorious gangster, Daya. 5 years ago, Daya's boss Khan ordered him to give Simran up. When Khan threatened Simran, Daya turned on him and Khan cut Daya loose from [[Organised crime in India|his gang]].<br />
<br />
She and Daya were forced to flee to Seoul. They took a small boy named Bittu with them. After an [[Encounter killing|encounter]] with the [[Greater Mumbai Police|Mumbai Police]], Bittu was killed, causing a strain in the couple's relationship and pushing Simran toward alcoholism. Leaving Simran alone in Seoul.<br />
<br />
Aakash tells Simran that he cares for her despite her past, and their relationship gradually develops from friendship to love. Daya, who is in [[Dubai]], comes to Seoul. When he learns of Simran's affair with Aakash, he attacks him in a fit of rage. Daya then professes his love for her and promises to reform and fulfill her dreams of a normal life; he also tells her that if she truly loves Aakash he will not hold her back. Before Simran can respond, the police arrive in pursuit of Daya and Simran. The two flee.<br />
<br />
Daya gives up murdering innocents and begins working odd jobs, admitting to Simran that he has found peace in doing honest work. He says that he would like to return to his village in India with her, so that they might live there peacefully. To do so he would have to perform one last crime: [[fake passport]]s for him and Simran.<br />
<br />
Simran, who is longing for Aakash, soon discovers that she is pregnant with his child. When she tells Aakash, he meets her and tells her he would like to marry her, but they will never find peace as long as Daya is at large. He says that for the sake of their unborn child, Daya must be turned in to the police and only Simran can do this. Simran, who is still emotionally attached to Daya, refuses.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Daya, who has gone to forge passports, is intercepted by Khan, who reminds Daya of what had occurred between them years before and says that he intends to make an example of Daya for abandoning the gang. Khan and his men fight Daya and Daya kills Khan. He then calls Simran, warning her that the police are after them and asking her to meet him outside a [[Seoul Station|Seoul train station]] that night.<br />
<br />
Simran arrives at the appointed time to find Daya badly injured from his fight with Khan. He manages to crawl to Simran and takes out a box of [[sindoor]] for her. But just as he reaches and embraces her, they are surrounded by [[police car]]s. Daya realises that Simran informed the police; heartbroken and screaming, he is hauled away. Simran remains at the station until morning and then goes to meet Aakash, whom she finds is not at home. She is soon informed that he is at the [[Embassy of India, Seoul|Indian embassy]].<br />
<br />
When she reaches the embassy, she enters a room full of reporters and sees a large screen showing a video of her telling Aakash about her relationship with Daya. She is thunderstruck when she sees that the one addressing the media is none other than Aakash, who is actually an [[Undercover detective|undercover Indian detective]] hired to capture Daya. Realizing that Aakash befriended and wooed her solely to discover Daya's whereabouts, she explodes in fury in front of the media; Aakash holds her back and slaps her across the face. He tells her that he never cared for her and that his involvement with her was only a part of his duty to end organised crime and bring justice to his country. Enraged, Simran tries to attack him, but she is stopped by security. While she is being hauled away, she yells that to spread justice Aakash and his colleagues have done her an injustice and that Daya, who has never betrayed anyone, is not the gangster but Aakash and his men are. She reminds Aakash that he has betrayed the woman who is carrying his child and that he will regret his actions.<br />
<br />
Daya, who has been arrested and taken to [[Seoul Detention Center|jail]], sends Simran a letter saying that he does not blame her for what she did and that she is the one who has been betrayed; he admits that he has done many cruel and bad things but that, thanks to her, he now knows what it is like to live an honest life. He encloses her fake passport and, stating his love for her, writes that he would feel better knowing that she is living safely in India. After reading Daya's letter, Simran is left pained and guilty.<br />
<br />
Months later, Daya admits and pleads guilty to his crimes. He is tried and [[Capital punishment in South Korea|sentenced to death]]. Simran goes to meet him in prison and asks him to forgive her; they share an emotional goodbye. She later goes to Aakash's residence and, forcefully entering his house with a gun, shoots and fatally injures him. Before he lapses into unconsciousness, Aakash shoots her in the shoulder and they are found and taken to a hospital.<br />
<br />
Aakash dies in the hospital while Simran is transferred to the [[Intensive care unit|I.C.U]]. At dawn she escapes to the roof, where she commits suicide by jumping off the roof. At the same time, Daya is executed. Simran is shown falling through the air. Before she reaches the ground we see her standing in a meadow and gazing at Daya, who is holding Bittu. Smiling, they hold out their arms to her; she happily runs toward them, and they embrace in heaven.<br />

==Reception==<br />
''Gangster'' received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its screenplay, soundtrack and performances of the cast, with particular praise directed towards Ranaut's performance. [[Raja Sen]] of [[Rediff.com|''Rediff'']] awarded the film 3.5 stars (out of 5) and stated that ‘‘Ranaut is a remarkable find, the actress comes across with great conviction. Hers is the pivotal character and an extremely difficult role to essay, but she manages it well. Ranaut's nuances [of an alcoholic dancer] are disconcertingly realistic’’. Praising Hashmi's performance he further added, ‘‘His character is an understated one, and he manages to keep it that way. There is no unnecessary bluster or melodrama, and he does a pretty believable job. There is something lazy about his acting, by which I mean he makes the job look easy’’.<ref>{{cite web|title=This Gangster packs a punch!|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/apr/28gangster.htm|website=www.rediff.com|access-date=11 July 2016|archive-date=26 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130526055306/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/apr/28gangster.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Vinayak Chakraborty of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' praised Basu's direction, noting that he "laces enough twists in the plot to keep surprising you and "keeps the tension quotient high at all times, cunningly moving his script from one climax point to the other. The critic concluded the movie as "definitely the director’s best work yet - better than 2004’s [[Murder (2004 film)|''Murder'']]."<ref>{{cite web|title=Movie Review: Gangster|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/1153_1686579%2C001100030005.htm|website=Hindustan Times|archive-date=12 May 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060512183723/http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/1153_1686579,001100030005.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Film critic [[Rajeev Masand]] of ''[[CNN-IBN]]'' wrote that "The film works primarily because it’s an engaging story that’s neither predictable nor plagarised [sic]. Is it based on underworld don [[Abu Salem]]’s life? I don’t think so, and quite frankly I don’t even care. What I do care about, however, is the director’s conscious attempt to abandon clichés in exchange for originality. And for that reason, Gangster is worth a watch".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://rajeevmasand.com/admin/reviews/our-films/gangster-review/|title=Gangster review|date=28 April 2006|first=Rajeev|last=Masand|author-link=Rajeev Masand|work=[[CNN-IBN]]|via=Rajeev Masand|access-date=14 June 2023|archive-date=31 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731155528/https://rajeevmasand.com/admin/reviews/our-films/gangster-review/|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

==Plot summary==<br />
The original story starts with Shakthi ([[Ramya Krishnan]]) wanting to find her relatives and unite her mother with her uncle Vetrivel Annachi ([[Vijayakumar (Tamil actor)|Vijayakumar]]) and her father with her aunt Nagavalli ([[Vadivukkarasi]]). Still, in a tragic accident set up by Nagavalli, Shakthi's parents die, and she is the only survivor. She returns to the serial after many episodes. She marries Ponnurangam ([[Sai Kiran]]). Still, after a while, it is revealed that since the accident, Shakthi's twin sister, Archana IAS ([[Ramya Krishnan]]), separated from her a long time ago, has been acting as Shakthi. She did this because, after the accident in which her parents died, Shakthi was very ill, so when she met her twin sister, Archana IAS, at the hospital for the first time, she asks her to act as Shakthi and defeat Nagavalli and protect her family. Archana wanted to reveal her true identity later. Still, when the police arrest her husband Ponnurangam for Archana's murder, she is forced to disclose that she is not Shakthi but Archana IAS.<br />
<br />
After this moment, Ponnurangam and many of the others in Shakthi's family start ignoring Archana and treating her as an outcast. She is forced even to do house chores. One day, Archana also refuses the Chennai collector post because Ponnurangam told her to do so. Meanwhile, Doctor Madhan (Sakthi Saravanan), who originally intended to marry Shakthi (actually Archana), but married Bhoomika (Sandhiya), dislikes Bhoomika and tries in many ways first to marry Supriya (Reshma Pasupuleti) and then later Actress/ Gwaliyar Ilavarasi Myna (Sandhiya). He succeeds in marrying Myna even though Bhoomika has a child. Archana is also pregnant with twins, but Ponnurangam donates one of his daughters in the hospital to Solaiyamma (K.S. Jayalakshmi) and Krishna, husband of Rukmini. He has lost her child six times. He does this to save Rukmini's life. Solaiyamma later refuses to give him the child because she wants the 500 crores property of Rukmini. Ponnurangam is torn between getting his child back and telling Archana about all this. It is revealed that Bhoomika has been acting as Myna to win Madhan's affection and later Vasantha finds out and Bhoomika and Vasantha have the challenge to see who will make Madhan believe them. Currently, Shakthi lives in Singapore and helps Archana. Rukmini now knows the truth about her cunning mother-in-law and husband and is staying in Archana's house while making Solaiyamma and Krishna believe that she is in Singapore. Roja and Ramamani are trying to find this out. The court has ruled that Subashree is Archana's daughter and Solaiyamma didn't let Rukmini come into her house. Currently, Madhan and Vasantha are trying many ways to get rid of Bhoomika and Solaiyamma is trying to get the 500 crores property of Rukmini. Archana is also trying to protect her family from Kanchana. Now, Bhoomika has found her father because she looks exactly like her mother, Devika, who died 25 years ago. Ponnurangam has now become assistant commissioner due to Archana's work. Now, Madhan has turned right and wants Bhoomika to find a better life. Now Radha reenters the story, and she is pregnant caused by Nandhakumar, who is engaged to Jothika.<br />
After a very disastrous marriage, Nandhakumar reluctantly marries Radha and Sarvesh marries Jothika. However Nandhakumar kidnaps Jothika, then Bhoomika, and even Sarvesh in his goal of marrying Jothika. He also creates a dupe of Jothika and erases Jothika and Sarvesh's memories. He fixes a girl from Andhra for Sarvesh, Radhika, whose brother Sudhan, shockingly looks precisely like Dr Madhan. Nandhakumar is unable to marry Jothika as his many attempts are thwarted by Bhoomika, Radha, Archana, and Shakthi. One day, Velayudham reveals that Nandhakumar is not his son but was given to him 25 years ago by Thamba, an evil sorcerer. He has now come back for his son so he can destroy the Ammayi family, but Bhoomika and Velayudham refuse as Nandhakumar should go to jail so Madhan can be released. When Bhoomika tells this to Archana, Thangamma is shocked and later reveals that Archana and Shakthi are the great-granddaughters of Ammayi and Thamba intends to destroy them. Later, Archana shoots Nandhakumar, and he dies. Shakthi also marries DCP Keerthi's brother Sarath Narayanan. Keerthi intends to kill Sarath for what his father Nambikkai Narayanan did to her father, Shankar Narayanan. Keerthi's mother comes back, and Keerthi goes to jail. Sarath's friend Sudhakar turns evil and starts to use a girl named Jeeva to blackmail Sarath. Jeeva is introduced, and the plot thickens Jeeva is the A.O. of P.S. hospital, and the son-in-law of the chairman Suryamoorthy hates Jeeva for getting all the credit. He has a daughter Priya who loves the chairman's grandson Siddharth, but Siddharth loves Jeeva's daughter Iniya. Archana goes to jail for shooting Sarath and Shakthi stands against her.<br />
<br />
In a mysterious murder, Radha dies, and Bhoomika vows to find and kill whoever murdered her. Deepa's brother Sudhakar plans to kill Archana, Shakthi, Jeeva, Sarath, and Bhoomika. Vanitha tries to marry her daughter Priya to Siddharth without his consent, but Siddharth secretly marries Jeeva's daughter Iniya with the help of Raj Narayanan. However, Suryamoorthy's wife, Vanitha, is angry. Later she realises her mistake through her father Perumalswamy and accepts Iiniya as her daughter. Then Sundari (Urvashi) comes to Bhoomika's house and sees Radha as a ghost who talks to her and gets scared. It is revealed that Suryamoorthy killed the ten people at the hospital and later Radha and now Urvashi and Deepa (who has now changed) plan to stop him, Shilpa, and Sudhakar. Surya then dies, and Deepa, Shakthi, and Archana plan to save Sarath from Sudhakar. Sudhakar attaches a bomb to himself and tries to destroy Archana and Shakthi's entire family, but Shakthi shoots and kills Sudhakar and keeps everyone. The whole family takes a group photo and serial ends.<br />

'''St. John's Masonic Hall & Temple''' also known as '''The St. John's''', is a historic building located in [[Marredpally|West Marredpally]], [[Secunderabad]], [[Telangana]], [[India]], serving as a hub for Masonic activities in the region.<br />
<br />
It is the primary meeting place of '''St. John's Lodge No. 434''' [[United Grand Lodge of England|EC]]. It has also been used by '''Golconda Lodge No. 3249''' [[United Grand Lodge of England|EC]], '''Universal Peace No.1208''' [[Grand Lodge of Scotland|SC]] and other masonic lodges under the warrant of the [[Grand Lodge of India]]<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
St. John's Lodge No. 434 EC was founded on 16 August 1822 <ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.librarything.com/work/15565833/t/Ars-Quatuor-Coronatorum-Being-the-Transactions-of-the-Lodge-Quatuor-Coronati-No-2076-Vol-59 |title=Ars Quatuor Coronatorum : Being the Transactions of the Lodge Quatuor Coronati, No. 2076. Vol. 59}}</ref> by [[British Armed Forces|British military]] officers stationed in the [[Secunderabad Cantonment Board|Secunderabad Cantonment]], a key base for the East India Company.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Gribble |first=J. D. B. (James Dunning Baker) |url=https://archive.org/details/historyoffreemas00grib/page/n7/mode/2up |title=History of Freemasonry in Hyderabad (Deccan) |date=1910 |publisher=Madras : Higginbothan |others=University of California Libraries}}</ref> The foundation stone of the building was laid on 11 March 1824. The lodge gets its name from [[St. John's Church, Secunderabad|St. John's Church]], located about a kilometer away.<br />
<br />
Formally constituted in 1836 under the [[United Grand Lodge of England|English Constitution]], the lodge provided a space for officers to practice Freemasonry, fostering brotherhood and philanthropy. Its establishment reflects the cultural influence of the British military and its enduring legacy in Secunderabad. <ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
There was a story that it had originally been a church. Later, when the current [[St. John's Church, Secunderabad|St. John's Church]] was built about a quarter mile away, the old building was given to the Freemasons by the contractor.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Six chairs now used by the Past Masters originally came from the [[Royal Pavilion|Brighton Royal Pavilion]] and were sent to the [[British Residency, Hyderabad|British Residency]] at [[Chaderghat|Chudderghat]] in the early 19th century. Though there's no official record, six were likely gifted to the Lodge. Richly gilt but lacking in taste and comfort, the chairs hold more historical value than practical use. <ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
On September 7, 1850, a proposal was made to nominate two prominent Muslim noblemen—the newly appointed Minister of Hyderabad and his nephew, [[Mir Turab Ali Khan, Salar Jung I|Salar Jung I]], but it failed due to a royal order restricting the Minister’s movement. Since Lodge meetings were held in Secunderabad, outside Hyderabad city, the Minister could not attend without special permission. <br />
<br />
== Activities ==<br />
Many prominent members of the region, both British and Indian alike, have been part of the lodge, many of whose ancestors as far from the [[British Isles]] still continue to visit the lodge.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kaushik |first=Shrimansi |date=2024-11-08 |title=British woman traces her family history to Secunderabad |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/southern-states/telangana/british-woman-traces-her-family-history-to-secunderabad-1836564 |access-date=2025-02-08 |website=www.deccanchronicle.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
Most members of the St. John's Lodge have also been members of the [[Secunderabad Club]]. It is primary meeting place of freemasonry in [[Secunderabad]] alongside [[Goshamahal Baradari]]. <br />

Sean returned in late 2007 with the new single "[[Ride It (Jay Sean song)|Ride It]]", which was the first single from his second album ''[[My Own Way (album)|My Own Way]]''. It was to be the first album released as a joint-venture between his own label Jayded and [[2Point9 Records]]. The video for "Ride It", released in early 2008, featured Sean with a new style after being out of the limelight for nearly three and a half years. ''My Own Way'' debuted at No. 6 in the official [[UK Albums Chart]] and generated two more UK top 20 singles, "Ride It" and "Maybe". On the back of this Sean received two [[MOBO Awards|MOBO Award]] nominations, for Best UK Male (alongside [[Dizzee Rascal]], [[Taio Cruz]], [[Wiley (rapper)|Wiley]] and [[Sway DaSafo|Sway]]) and Best R'n'B/Soul (alongside [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]], [[Estelle (musician)|Estelle]], [[Ne-Yo]] and [[Chris Brown (American singer)|Chris Brown]]).

''Touch'' Magazine in the UK described him as "the UK's answer to Ne-Yo," while The Independent called him "...an urban legend in the making."

==Career==<br />
Parthasarthy has described her aim when creating webcomics as being to "bring out historical and contemporary angst using vintage art." She contrasts the historical imagery she uses with social or philosophical dialogue on contemporary issues. Parthasarthy finds herself unwilling to merchandise her work, and therefore does not sell any prints of her webcomics.<ref name=ET /><br />
<br />
===''Royal Existentials''===<br />
{{main article|Royal Existentials}}<br />
Inspired by [[David Malki]]'s ''[[Wondermark]]'', Parthasarathy started the webcomic ''Royal Existentials'' in November 2014. By overlaying [[Mughal miniature]] paintings with unique dialogue, Parthasarathy used this webcomic to comment upon various social and political events. She described her webcomic as a sort of "diary of thoughts", as she uses it to describe how she feels about whatever is keeping her mind occupied at the moment.<ref name=RoyalExist /><br />
<br />
===''Urbanlore''===<br />
In 2015, Parthasarathy started to collaborate with her friend [[Kaveri Gopalakrishnan]] in order to create ''Urbanlore'', which captures the life in urban Indian cities, such as Bengaluru, by focusing on the history and culture of the people who live there. The two form a writer-artist duo in order to create ''Urbanlore'', Parthasarathy writing the prose of the webcomic while Gopalakrishnan does the black-and-white drawings. The two also started an extension for the series, titled ''Urbanshorts'', which comments on India's political affairs.<ref name=Urbanlore /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.femina.in/achievers/illustrator-kaveri-gopalakrishnan-41138.html|work=[[Femina (India)|Femina]]|title=Kaveri Gopalakrishnan on the joys of illustration|last=Jaychander|first=Neeti|date=2017-03-10}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Kadak==<br />
Together with eight other South-Asian artists, Parthasarathy became part of online [[feminist]] art group, [[Kadak Collective]] in March 2016. Describing the representation of female characters in older comics, such as ''[[Archie (comic book)|Archie]]'', as "problematic", Parthasarathy notes that there has been a cultural shift in how female characters are presented in comics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/art-and-culture/women-in-comics-have-they-got-their-due-yet/story-120zFmiHawF3fh3eVf4KVI.html|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|title=Women in comics: Have they got their due yet?|last=Chatterjee|first=Arundhati|date=2016-12-01}}</ref> Animator and journalist Aindri Chakraborty found that an art collective made up entirely out of women of color could address the lack of diversity at [[Comic Con]]s and art festivals. Kadak creates [[gender]]-related pieces to present both online, on the website [[Medium (website)|Medium]], and in the physical world, through a kind of traveling library dubbed the "Reading Room".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/magazine/822731/a-womens-art-collective-is-serving-a-dose-of-truth-strong-and-kadak|work=Scroll.in|title=A women's art collective is serving a dose of truth–strong and Kadak|last=Kulkarni|first=Damini|date=2016-12-01}}</ref><br />
<br />
As part of Kadak, Parthasarathy collaborated with various other cartoonists to create short-form webcomics. In August 2016, she collaborated with Mira Malhotra to write ''Personal (Cyber) Space'', a short webcomic that features a woman scrolling through her online news feed, coming across headlines about [[sexism]], [[rape]], as well as stories about a possible [[female president]] and [[women at the Olympics]]. The webcomic further comments upon the daily cycle of such news stories and how mass opinions have been turned into statistics. In September that same year, Parthasarathy collaborated with Renuka Rajiv to write ''Aloe Vera and The Void'', which is presented as series of conversations about belief, [[God]], and [[social exclusion]]. To write ''Aloe Vera and The Void'', Parthasarathy held multiple interviews with people from the Indian [[transgender]] community, which she worked into its script. In an interview, Parthasarathy stated that she was curious how someone's belief systems are impacted when they are excluded from many social norms and customs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/travelling-library-self-published-comics-mumbai-guide-feminism-gender-identity/17773188|work=[[Mid-Day]]|title=Travelling library of self-published comics exploring various themes to arrive in Mumbai|last=Lobo|first=Joanna|date=2016-11-21}}</ref><br />

The '''Indian anti-corruption movement''', popularly known as '''Anna Andolan''', was a series of demonstrations and protests across India that began in 2011 and was intended to establish strong legislation and enforcement against perceived endemic [[political corruption]].<ref name="bloomberg.com">{{Cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-21/indians-divide-over-policing-a-watchdog-world-view.html|title=Indians Divide Over Policing a Watchdog: World View|publisher=bloomberg.com|date=22 June 2011|access-date=25 August 2011|first=Chandrahas|last=Choudhury|archive-date=25 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110625135458/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-21/indians-divide-over-policing-a-watchdog-world-view.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The movement was named as one of the "Top 10 News Stories of 2011" by ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine.<ref name="anna time">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101344_2101368_2101650,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107201533/http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101344_2101368_2101650,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 January 2012|title=The Top 10 Everything of 2011: Number 10 – Anna Hazare's Hunger Fasts Rock India|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time magazine]]|date=7 December 2011|access-date=9 December 2011}}</ref><br />

The wheels of this development took a public outburst first during the rally at Jantar Mantar organised by yoga guru [[Ramdev]] on 14 Nov 2010 to hand over police complaint against the corruption in [[Concerns and controversies at the 2010 Commonwealth Games|2010 Commonwealth Games]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-11-14 |title=Ramdev,Bedi,Kejriwal file joint police complaint over CWG |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/print/ramdev-bedi-kejriwal-file-joint-police-complaint-over-cwg/ |access-date=2024-09-29 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
A rally was organised at historic Ramlila Maidan, Delhi in which group of eminent persons including [[Arvind Kejriwal]], [[Shanti Bhushan]], [[Prashant Bhushan]], [[Kiran Bedi]], [[Ram Jethmalani]], [[Medha Patkar]], [[Agnivesh|Swami Agnivesh]], [[Devinder Kumar Sehrawat|Col. Devinder Sehrawat]], [[Sunita Godara]], [[Harsh Mander|Harsh Mandar]], [[Archbishop of Delhi]], Justice D. S. Tewatia, Devinder Sharma, [[Rajagopal P. V.|PV Rajgopal]], Trilok Sharma marched after holding a public meeting in which the decision to invite Social Activist [[Anna Hazare]] to lead the movement was taken. In what could be termed as the biggest outpouring against corruption by citizens, peaceful public march against corruption were held in several cities in India. People demanded proposed new Lokpal Bill.<br />
<br />
The movement gained momentum from 5 April 2011, when anti-corruption activist [[Anna Hazare]] began a [[hunger strike]] at the [[Jantar Mantar, New Delhi|Jantar Mantar]] monument in [[New Delhi]]. The movement aimed to alleviate corruption in the [[Indian government]] through introduction of the [[Jan Lokpal Bill]]. Another aim, which was led by [[Ramdev]], [[Kiran Bedi]], [[Arvind Kejriwal]] and others was the repatriation of [[Indian black money|black money]] from foreign banks.<br />
<br />
Mass protesters focussed on legal and political issues, including political corruption, [[kleptocracy]], and other forms of corruption. The movement was primarily one of non-violent [[civil resistance]] and was composed of demonstrations, marches, acts of civil disobedience, hunger strikes, and rallies, and the use of [[social media]] to organise, communicate, and raise awareness. The protests were [[Nonpartisanism|nonpartisan]] and most protesters were hostile to political parties' attempts to use them to strengthen their own [[political agenda]].<br />

Issues of corruption in India have become increasingly prominent in recent years. After independence in 1947, the country was subject to socialist-inspired economic policies until the 1980s. [[Over-regulation]], [[protectionism]], and government ownership of industry led to slow economic growth, high unemployment, and widespread poverty.<ref>{{cite journal|first1=Tushar |last1=Poddar |first2=Eva |last2=Yi |year=2007 |title=Global Economics Paper No: 152 |journal=Goldman Sachs Economic Research |page=23 |publisher=[[Goldman Sachs]] |url=http://www.usindiafriendship.net/viewpoints1/Indias_Rising_Growth_Potential.pdf |access-date=17 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724120152/http://www.usindiafriendship.net/viewpoints1/Indias_Rising_Growth_Potential.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author=[[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] |year=2007 |title=Economic Survey of India, 2007 |journal=Policy Brief |publisher=[[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] |url=http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/17/52/39452196.pdf |access-date=17 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606112149/http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/17/52/39452196.pdf |archive-date=6 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This system of bureaucratic control by government, which is called the [[License Raj]], was at the core of endemic corruption.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/2007/08/15/wipro-tata-corruption-ent-law-cx_kw_0814whartonindia.html |title=Will Growth Slow Corruption in India? |author=[[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania]] |date=15 August 2007 |work=Knowledge@Wharton |publisher=[[Forbes]] |access-date=17 June 2011| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110604044924/http://www.forbes.com/2007/08/15/wipro-tata-corruption-ent-law-cx_kw_0814whartonindia.html| archive-date= 4 June 2011| url-status= live}}</ref><br />

The 1993 [[Vohra Report]] submitted by the former Indian Union [[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)#Home Secretary and other senior officials|Home Secretary]] [[Narinder Nath Vohra]] studied the [[criminalisation of politics]] and contains several observations made by official agencies on the criminal network that was [[Virtual reality|virtually]] running a parallel government. It also discussed criminal gangs that enjoyed the patronage of politicians and the protection of government functionaries. According to the report, political leaders had become leaders of street gangs and rogue elements in the military.

The 2005 [[Right to Information Act]] (RTI) helped civilians work towards tackling corruption. The Act allows Indian citizens to request information for a fixed fee of {{INR}} 10 ([[US$]]0.22) from a public authority, which is required to reply to the request within thirty days. Activists&nbsp;– some of whom have been attacked and killed&nbsp;– have used this law to uncover corruption cases against politicians and bureaucrats.<ref>{{cite news |title=Dying for data: the Indian activist killed for asking too many questions |author=Jason Burke |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/27/india-rti-activists-deaths |work=The Guardian |date=27 December 2010 |access-date=17 June 2011 |location=London| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110709001509/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/27/india-rti-activists-deaths| archive-date= 9 July 2011| url-status= live}}</ref><br />

====Civil society response====<br />
Ramdev said the government was not serious about discussing corruption and black money, and that government negotiator Kapil Sibal had cheated him through a "scheming and cunning" attitude. He said there was a conspiracy to kill him and that he was threatened during a meeting with senior ministers. He also said the ruling government chairperson [[Sonia Gandhi]] and the [[United Progressive Alliance]] government will be responsible for any threat to his life, and that he was nearly strangled by the police.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/baba-ramdev-says-his-fast-will-continue-135026-2011-06-05 |title=Baba Ramdev targets Cong, Sonia; says agitation will continue |work=India Today |date=5 June 2011 |access-date=16 June 2011 |archive-date=9 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609153343/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/story/baba-ramdev-says-his-fast-will-continue/1/140452.html |url-status=live }}</ref> After being evicted from Delhi, Ramdev wanted to continue his fast at [[Noida]] but was denied permission to do so by the [[Uttar Pradesh]] government.

Hazare said there might have been some faults with Ramdev's agitation, the beating up of people at night rather than in the daytime was a "blot on democracy", and that "there was no firing otherwise the eviction was similar to Jallianwala Bagh incident".

The Anna Hazare movement was criticised by various people as having collusion with corporations, the opposition BJP, and the ideological organization RSS. Chandra Mohan, who was part of the national committee of India Against Corruption, said that the movement was stage-managed by the RSS.<ref name="Allegations 1">{{cite news |title=RSS stage-managed Anna Hazare movement, says ex-India Against Corruption team member |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/news/rss-stage-managed-anna-hazare-movement-says-ex-india-against-corruption-team-member-180413|access-date=13 June 2023|work=[[The News Minute]]|date=30 July 2023|archive-date=13 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231113140255/https://www.thenewsminute.com/news/rss-stage-managed-anna-hazare-movement-says-ex-india-against-corruption-team-member-180413|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

The Chambal finds mention in ancient Hindu scriptures. The Hindu epic [[Mahabharata]] refers to the Chambal River as Charmanyavati: originating from the blood of thousands of animals sacrificed by the King [[Rantideva]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Vedic era===<br />
During the [[Vedic era]], the ancient name of Chambal river was [[Charmanvati]], meaning the river on whose banks leather is dried. In due course of time, this river became famous as the river of ‘charman’ (skin) and was named as ''Charmanvati''.<ref>{{cite book |title=Hydrology and water resources of India- Volume 57 of Water science and technology library - Tributaries of Yamuna river |last=Jain |first=Sharad K.|author2=Pushpendra K. Agarwal|author3=Vijay P. Singh |year=2007 |publisher=Springer|isbn=978-1-4020-5179-1 |page=350 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZKs1gBhJSWIC&dq=Yamuna+River&pg=RA1-PA345}}</ref><ref name="hy"/><br />
The epic [[Sanskrit]] narrative the [[Mahabharata]], refers to the Chambal river as the ''[[Charmanwati|Charmanyavati]]'' : originating from the blood of thousands of animals sacrificed by the King [[Rantideva]]. <br />
:"So large was the number of animals sacrificed in the [[Agnihotra]] of that king that the secretions flowing from his kitchen from the heaps of skins deposited there caused a veritable river which from this circumstance, came to be called the ''Charmanwati''."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ancientvoice.wikidot.com/mbh:charmanwati|title=charmanwati, Mbh.7.65.2817|work=Ancient Voice|publisher= Jijith Nadumuri Ravi|access-date=29 December 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
Chambal area was part of [[Shakuni]]'s kingdom and the dice-game played thereabouts. After the attempted disrobing of [[Draupadi]] (the daughter of Drupada) she cursed anyone who would drink the water of the Charmanwati river.<ref name="ST"><br />
{{cite web |date=2010 |title=Charms of Chambal |work=The Sunday Tribune, Spectrum |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100418/spectrum/main3.htm |url-status=live |access-date=29 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005203651/http://www.tribuneindia.com:80/2010/20100418/spectrum/main3.htm |archive-date=2011-10-05 }}</ref> Thus it is believed that due to the curse by Draupadi, have helped the Chambal to survive unpolluted by man, and its many animal inhabitants to thrive relatively untouched. The Chambal remains one of India's most pristine rivers.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2025-05-16 |language=en |title=Keeping the river clean: Chambal River, India |url=https://wwf.panda.org/es/?97000/Keeping-the-river-clean-Chambal-River-India |website=wwf.panda.org}}<!-- auto-translated from Portuguese by Module:CS1 translator --></ref><br />
<br />
==Chambal ==<br />
===Basin===<br />
The Chambal is a rainfed catchment with a total drained area up to its confluence with the Yamuna of {{convert|144,591|km2}}. The drainage area resembles a rectangle up to the junction of the Parvathi and Banas Rivers with the Chambal flowing along its major axis. The Chambal Basin lies between latitudes 22° 27' N and 27° 20' N and longitudes 73° 20' E and 79° 15' E. On its south, east and west, the basin is bounded by the [[Vindhya Range|Vindhyan]] mountain ranges and on the north-west by the [[Aravalli Range|Aravallis]]. Below the confluence of the Parvathi and Banas, the catchment becomes narrower and elongated. In this reach, it is bounded by the Aravalli mountain ranges on the North and the Vindhyan hill range on the south.<ref name="Jain, Sharad K. 2007 p. 350"/><br />
<br />
The Vindhyan scarps, in the northwest, flank the left bank of the Chambal, and subsequently, is mainly drained by it. The Chambal rising within about 16&nbsp;km of the Narmada river, appears as a consequent on the Mesozoic surface, superimposed on the scarps, and cuts straight through them, with subsequent tributaries on the softer shales. The River Chambal and its tributaries [[Kali Sindh]] and [[Parbati]] have formed a triangular alluvial basin, about {{cvt|200|–|270|m}} above the narrow trough of the lower Chambal in [[Kota District|Kota]]. It is a typical anterior-drainage pattern river, being much older than the rivers Yamuna and Ganges, into which it eventually flows.<ref>Mani, M.S. 1974. Ecology and Biogeography of India. W. Junk. The Hague.</ref><br />
<br />
===Course===<br />
[[File:Chambal River near Kota, Rajasthan.jpg|thumb|Chambal River near Kota, Rajasthan]]<br />
The {{cvt|1024|km}} long Chambal River originates from the Bhadakla Falls in [[Janapav|Janapav Hills]] on the northern slopes of the [[Vindhyas|Vindhyan escarpment]] near [[Mandav]], {{cvt|67.5|km}} south-west of [[Mhow]] in [[Indore]] District, [[Madhya Pradesh]] at an elevation of about {{cvt|843|m}}. The river flows first in a northerly direction through Madhya Pradesh for about {{cvt|376|km}} and then in a generally north-easterly direction for {{cvt|249|km}} through [[Rajasthan]]. Then it flows for another {{cvt|216|km}} between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and a further {{cvt|150|km}} between Madhya Pradesh and [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It flows for about {{cvt|33|km}} before joining the [[Yamuna River]] in [[Jalaun]] District at an elevation of {{cvt|123|m}}, to form a part of the greater Gangetic drainage system.<ref name="Jain, Sharad K. 2007 p. 350">Jain, S. K.; Pushpendra K., Agarwal, V., P. Singh (2007). Hydrology and water resources of India- Volume 57 of Water science and technology library - Tributaries of Yamuna river. Springer. p. 350. {{ISBN|1-4020-5179-4}}.</ref><br />
From its source to its junction with the Yamuna, the Chambal has a fall of about {{cvt|717.6|m}}. Of this, around {{cvt|305|m}} is within the first {{cvt|26|km}} reach from its source. It falls for another {{cvt|195|m}} in the next {{cvt|312|km}}, where it enters the gorge past the Chaurasigarh Fort. During the next {{cvt|157|km}} of its run from the Chaurasigarh Fort to [[Kota District|Kota]] city, the bed falls by another {{cvt|91|m}}. For the rest of its {{cvt|529|km}} run, the river passes through the flat terrain of the [[Malwa Plateau]] and later the [[Gangetic Plain]] with an average gradient of 0.21&nbsp;m/km.<ref name="Jain, Sharad K. 2007 p. 350"/><br />
<br />
===Tributaries ===<br />
The tributaries of the Chambal include [[Shipra]], Choti Kalisindh, [[Shivna River|Shivna]], Retam, Ansar, Kalisindh, Banas, Parbati, Seep, Kuwari, Kuno, Alnia, Mej, Chakan, Parwati, Chamla, Gambhir, Lakhunder, Khan, Bangeri, Kedel and Teelar.<ref name="Jain, Sharad K. 2007 p. 350"/><ref name="Lallanji Gopal 2008">Lallanji Gopal, Vinod Chandra Srivastava (2008).

According to Crawford (1969), the Chambal river valley is part of the Vindhyan system which consists of massive sandstone, slate and limestone, of perhaps pre-Cambrian age, resting on the surface of older rocks.<ref>Crawford, A.R. 1969.

Hillocks and plateaus represent the major landforms of the Chambal valley. The Chambal basin is characterised by an undulating floodplain, gullies and ravines.<ref name="Lallanji Gopal 2008"/> The Hadauti plateau in Rajasthan occurs in the upper catchment of the Chambal River to the southeast of the Mewar Plains. It occurs with the Malwa plateau in the east. Physiographically, it can be divided into Vindhyan scarp land and Deccan Lava (Malwa) plateau.<ref>Sinha-Roy S., Malhotra G. and Mohanty M. 1998. Geology of Rajasthan, Geological Society of india, Bangalore.</ref> According to Heron (1953), the eastern pediplain, occurring between the Vindhyan plateau and the [[Aravalli Hill Range|Aravalli hill range]], contains a thin veneer of Quaternary sediments, reworked soil and river channel fills. At least two erosional surfaces can be recognised within the pediplain are the Tertiary age. The Vindhyan upland, the adjoining Chambal valley and the Indo-Gangetic alluvial tract (older alluvium) are of Pleistocene to Sub-recent age. Badland topography is a characteristic feature of the Chambal valley, whereas kankar has extensively developed in the older alluvium.<ref>Heron A.M. 1953.‘The Geology of Central Rajaputana’, Memoir of Geological Survey of India, Vol. 79: 389.</ref><br />

In a stretch of {{cvt|96|km}}, from km 344 to km 440 from its source, the Chambal flows through a deep gorge, while lower down, there are wide plains. The [[Gandhi Sagar Dam]] is located near the center of this reach. As there is a deep gorge immediately upstream of the dam, the reservoir has a large storage capacity despite its comparatively low height. For the next {{cvt|48|km}}, the river flows through the Kundal Plateau, and the [[Rana Pratap Sagar Dam]] is constructed at the lower end of this. The topography permits fairly good storage upstream of the dam. Further down, the Jawahar Sagar Dam is located in the middle of the Kota gorge. The Kota Barrage is located near Kota town, where the river emerges from the gorge section into the plateau. The total area draining the Kota Barrage is {{cvt|27319|km2}}.<ref name="Jain, Sharad K. 2007 p. 350"/><br />
The Gandhi Sagar dam is the first of the four dams built on the Chambal River, located on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border. It is a 64 metre high masonry gravity dam, with a live storage capacity of 6,920 [[million cubic metre]]s and a catchment area of {{cvt|22584|km2}}, of which only {{cvt|1537|km2}} is in Rajasthan. The dam was completed in the year 1960. The hydro-power station comprises five generating units of 23&nbsp;MW capacity each. The water released after power generation is used for irrigation through Kota Barrage.<ref name="waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in">Water Resources Department, Govt. Of Rajasthan. {{cite web |url=http://waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in/4chambal.htm |title=Chambal Valley Project |access-date=2016-07-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304085442/http://waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in/4chambal.htm |archive-date=4 March 2016 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><br />

* '''[[Rana Pratap Sagar dam]]''' is a dam located 52&nbsp;km downstream of Gandhi Sagar dam on across the Chambal River near Rawatbhata in Chittorgarh district in Rajasthan. It was completed in the year 1970 and it is the second in the series of Chambal Valley Projects. It is 54 meters high. The power house is located on the left side of the spillway and consists of 4 units of 43&nbsp;MW each, with firm power generation of 90&nbsp;MW at 60% load factor. The total catchment area of this dam is 24,864&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, of which only 956&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> are in Rajasthan. The free catchment area below Gandhi Sagar dam is 2,280&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. The live storage capacity is 1,566&nbsp;MCM.<ref name="waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in"/><br />
<br />
* '''[[Jawahar Sagar Dam]]''' is the third dam in the series of Chambal Valley Projects, located 29&nbsp;km upstream of Kota city and 26&nbsp;km downstream of Rana Pratap Sagar dam. It is a concrete gravity dam, 45 meter high and 393 m long, generating 60&nbsp;MW of power with an installed capacity of 3 units of 33&nbsp;MW. The work was completed in 1972. The total catchment area of the dam is 27,195&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, of which only 1,496&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> are in Rajasthan. The free catchment area below Rana Pratap Sagar dam is 2,331&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.<ref name="waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in"/><br />
<br />
* '''[[Kota Barrage]]''' is the fourth in the series of Chambal Valley Projects, located about 0.8&nbsp;km upstream of Kota City in Rajasthan. Water released after power generation at Gandhi Sagar dam, Rana Pratap Sagar dam and Jawahar Sagar Dams, is diverted by Kota Barrage for irrigation in Rajasthan and in Madhya Pradesh through canals on the left and the right sides of the river. The work on this dam was completed in 1960. The total catchment area of Kota Barrage is 27,332&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, of which the free catchment area below Jawahar Sagar Dam is just 137&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. The live storage is 99&nbsp;MCM. It is an earthfill dam with a concrete spillway. The right and left main canals have a headworks discharge capacity of 188 and 42 m<sup>3</sup>/s, respectively. The total length of the main canals, branches and distribution system is about 2,342&nbsp;km, serving an area of 2,290&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> of CCA. The Barrage operates 18 gates to control flow of flood and canal water downstream, and serves as bridge between parts of Kota on both side of the river.<ref name="waterresources.rajasthan.gov.in"/><br />

"'''Lihaaf'''" ("The Quilt") is an Urdu short story written by [[Ismat Chughtai]] which was published in the Urdu literary journal ''Adab-i-Latif'' in 1942. In the coming decades, it was widely anthologised and faced an obscenity trial.<ref name="Gopal2012">{{cite book |author=Priyamvada Gopal |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lf8wfOR1058C&pg=PT83 |title=Literary Radicalism in India: Gender, Nation and the Transition to Independence |date=2012 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-134-33253-3 |pages=65–88}}</ref> It is one of Chughtai's well known works.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rekhta Foundation |date=2023-12-01 |title=Ismat Chughtai |url=https://www.rekhta.org/authors/ismat-chughtai/all |access-date=2023-12-01 |website=rekhta}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story deals with suggestive [[lesbianism]], but also with the insulated and suffocating life of a neglected wife in a [[Indian feudalism|feudal society]] as well as [[sexual abuse]].<br />
<br />
== Storyline ==<br />
<br />
The story is told from the point of view of a small girl who is the niece of the protagonist, the beautiful Begum Jaan. Begum Jaan has had a very depressing life after marriage. Her husband, the Nawab, was much older than her and was thought to be extremely respectable for never having had any encounters with prostitutes. But it is soon revealed that it is because he is interested in boys. Begum Jaan starts to wither but is saved by Rabbu, her masseuse. Rabbu is a servant girl who is not so pretty but very skilled with her hands. She is constantly massaging Begum Jaan’s body in some way. When the narrator is left at Begum Jaan's place by her mother, she realises that despite her past admiration of love for Begum Jaan, there lie many secrets with her.<br />
<br />
At night, shadows in the form of an elephant formed by the quilt of Begum Jaan leaves the narrator in fear. In the absence of Rabbu, Begum Jaan’s behaviour changes as she is irritated and sad. The stay at her aunt’s house leaves the narrator traumatised when Begum Jaan not only sexually abuses her in Rabbu’s absence but also when she turns on the light one night as the quilt is shaking and ends up seeing something she didn’t want to see. It is never revealed what that is as the story ends abruptly.<br />
<br />
All this sheds light on the relationship between the two women which is hinted at throughout the story but never explicitly confirmed.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
The publication of "Lihaaf" ("The Quilt") led to much controversy, uproar and an obscenity trial, where Ismat had to defend herself in the [[Lahore High Court|Lahore Court.]] She was asked to apologize and refused, winning the case after her lawyer said that the story makes no suggestion to a sexual act, and prosecution witnesses could not point out any obscene words: the story is merely suggestive and told from perspective of a small girl.<ref name="Gopal2012" /> Years later, she mentioned in detail the court trial in her memoir, ''Kaghazi Hai Pairahan'' (A Life in Words: Memoir).<ref>{{cite web |author=Arunima Mazumdar |date=Jan 30, 2014 |title=Ismat Chughtai, a 'woman' above all |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/books/Ismat-Chughtai-a-woman-above-all/articleshow/13164671.cms |accessdate=2023-12-01 |work=The Times of India}}</ref><br />

'''Muktabai''' or '''Mukta''' or '''Muktai Vitthalpant Kulkarni''' was a saint in the [[Varkari]] Movement. She was born in a [[Deshastha Brahmin]] family and was the younger sister of [[Dnyaneshwar]], the first [[Varkari]] saint.<ref>{{cite book |title=Faces of the feminine in ancient, medieval, and modern India |author=Mandakranta Bose |year=2000 |publisher=Oxford University Press US |isbn=0-19-512229-1 |page=192}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Women Saints of East and West |author1=Swami Ghanananda |author2=John Stewart-Wallace |year=1979 |publisher=Vedanta Press |isbn=0-87481-036-1 |page=[https://archive.org/details/womensaintseastw0000unse/page/60 60] |url=https://archive.org/details/womensaintseastw0000unse/page/60 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Women saints in world religions |author=Arvind Sharma |year=2000 |publisher=SUNY Press |isbn=0-7914-4619-0 |page=169}}</ref> She wrote forty-one [[abhang]]s throughout her life.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Muktabai's father's name was Vitthalpant Kulkarni, and her mother was Rukminibai Kulkarni.<ref>Chitre, Dilip. "Muktabai." In ''The Oxford Encyclopedia Women in World History'' : Oxford University Press, 2008. https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780195148909.001.0001/acref-9780195148909-e-732 .</ref> She had 3 elder brothers named Sopan, Dnyaneshwar (also known as Gyaneshwar Mauli), Nivrutti. Folk stories says that these children studied Vedas. Nivruttinath, Dnyandev, and Sopandev<br />
* Brothers of Saint Muktai-<br />
[[File:Dnyaneshwar humbles Changdev.jpg|thumb|The siblings Muktabai, Sopan, Dnyaneshwar and Nivrutinath seated on the flying wall greet Changdev seated on a tiger. In the centre, Changdev bows to Dnyaneshwar.]]<br />
# [[Nivruttinath]]: The eldest brother of Muktabai, Nivrutti was an authority on the philosophy of the [[Nath]]. Gahininath, one of the nine Nath gurus, accepted Nivrutti as his disciple and initiated him into the Nath sect, instructing him to propagate devotion to Shri [[Krishna]]. Dnyaneshwar accepted his elder brother as his own guru. After the early samadhi of Dnyaneshwar, Nivrutti travelled with his sister Muktai on a pilgrimage along the [[Tapti River]], where they were caught in a thunderstorm and Muktai was swept away. Nivrutti obtained samadhi at Tryambakeshwar. Around 375 abhangs are attributed to him but the authorship of many of them is disputed due to difference in writing style and philosophy.<br />
<br />

<br />
# [[Sopan]]: Her younger brother, attained [[samadhi]] at Saswad near [[Pune]]. He wrote a book, the ''Sopandevi'' based on the Marathi translation of the ''Bhagavad Gita'' along with 50 or so [[abhang]]s.<br />
<br />
==Traditional history==<br />
{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2020}}<br />
According to [[Nath]] tradition Muktabai was the last of the four children of Vitthal Govind [[Kulkarni]] and Rukmini, a pious couple from Apegaon near [[Paithan]] on the banks of the river [[Godavari]]. Vitthal had studied the [[Veda]]s and set out on pilgrimages at a young age. In [[Alandi]], about 30&nbsp;km from [[Pune]], Sidhopant, a local Yajurveda Brahmin, was very much impressed with him and Vitthal married his daughter Rukmini.<br />
<br />
After some time, getting permission from Rukmini, Vitthal went to [[Varanasi|Kashi]] ([[Varanasi]]), where he met Ramananda Swami and requested to be initiated into ''sannyas'', lying about his marriage. But Ramananda Swami later went to Alandi and, convinced that his student Vitthal was the husband of Rukmini, he returned to Kashi and ordered Vitthal to return home to his family. The couple was excommunicated as Vitthal had broken with sannyas, the last of the four ''[[ashram]]s''. Four children were born to them; Nivrutti in 1273, Jñāneśvar in 1275, Sopan in 1277 and daughter Muktai in 1279. According to some scholars their birth years are 1268, 1271, 1274, 1277 respectively. It is believed that later Vitthal and Rukmini ended their lives by jumping into the waters at [[Allahabad|Prayag]] which is the confluence of three rivers, the [[Ganges]], [[Yamuna]], and the now extinct [[Saraswati]], hoping that their children would be accepted into the society after their death.<br />
<br />
Earlier the couple set out on a pilgrimage with their children to Tryambakeshwar, near [[Nashik]], where their elder son Nivrutti (at the age of 10) was initiated into the [[Nath]] tradition by Gahininath. The paternal great grandfather of [[Dnyaneshwar]] had been initiated into the Nath cult by Goraksha Nath (Gorakh Nath). The [[orphan]]ed children grew up on [[alms]]. They approached the Brahmin community of [[Paithan]] to accept them but the Brahmins refused. According to the disputed "Shuddhi Patra" the children were purified by the Brahmins on condition of observing celibacy. Their argument with the Brahmins earned the children fame and respect due to their righteousness, virtue, intelligence, knowledge and politeness. Dnyaneshwar became the student of [[Nivruttinath]] along with his younger siblings Sopan and Mukta at the age of 8. He learnt and mastered the philosophy and various techniques of [[Kundalini yoga]].<br />
<br />
===Writings===<br />
<br />
* "Tatiche Abhang" (The Song of the Door) -<br />
She says: "An ascetic is pure in mind and forgives the offences of people. If the world is hot as fire owing to exasperation, a sage should with pleasure be cool as water. If people hurt them with weapons of words, saints should treat those remarks as pieces of advice. This universe is a single piece of cloth woven with the one thread of Brahman, so please open the door, O Jnaneshwar."<br />
<br />
* Preachings to Changdev -<br />
She says: "Though he has no form my eyes saw him, his glory is fire in my mind that knows his secret inner form invented by the soul. What is beyond the mind has no boundary. In it our senses end. Mukta says: Words cannot hold him yet in him all words are."<br />
"Where darkness is gone I live, where I am happy. I am not troubled by coming and going, I am beyond all vision, above all spheres. His spirit lives in my soul. Mukta says: He is my heart's only home."<ref>[http://www.boloji.com/index.cfm?md=Content&sd=Articles&ArticleID=10432#sthash.fzC4LcIX.dpuf Muktabai of Maharashtra]</ref><br />
<br />
== Legacy ==<br />
<br />
* In many places in Maharashtra, devotees worship Muktabai. In north Maharashtra people worship Muktai and do varis (devotional visits) to Muktai's temple. Varkari consider saint Muktai 'Adishakti', Goddess. Varkaris sing abhangas written by Muktai. They call saint Muktabai - Muktai means mother Muktabai.<br />
* A town's name is changed from Edlabad to [[Muktainagar]] to honor saint Muktabai. This town is administrative center of Muktainagar taluka so the taluka also became Muktainagar taluka.<br />
*Saint Muktai's abhangas are included in Marathi text books of [[Balbharati]] in Maharashtra.<br />
*Bhagwat Katha readers mention saint Muktai with great respect.<br />

'''Rudrasena II''' (r. 256–278) was a king of the [[Western Satraps]], and the 19th ruler of the Kshatrapa dynasty. The Kshatrapa dynasty seems to have reached a high level of prosperity under his rule.<br />
<br />
The region of [[Sanchi]]-[[Vidisha]] was again captured from the [[Satavahanas]] during the rule of Rudrasena II, as shown by finds of his coinage in the area.<ref name="Shaw 58" /> The region had already been held once by the Western Satraps under [[Rudradaman]] ({{Circa|130 CE}}).<ref name="Shaw 58"/><br />
<br />
After the conquest of Central India, Western Satraps are then known to have remained in the area well into the 4th century, as shown by the nearby [[Kanakerha inscription]] mentioning the construction of a well by the Saka chief and "righteous conqueror" Sridharavarman.<ref name="Shaw 58">{{cite book |last=Shaw |first=Julia |title=Buddhist Landscapes in Central India: Sanchi Hill and Archaeologies of Religious and Social Change, c.

<br />
A marital alliance between the [[Andhra Ikshvaku]] and the Western Satraps seems to have occurred during the time of Rudrasena II, as the Andhra Ikshvaku ruler Māṭharīputra Vīrapuruṣadatta seems to have had as one of his wives Rudradhara-bhattarika, the "daughter of the ruler of [[Ujjain]]" (''Uj(e)nika mahara(ja) balika''), possibly king Rudrasena II.{{sfn|K.

On January 8 and 9, 2019, one of the largest [[General strike|general strikes]] in [[Labour movement|workers' history]] took place in [[India]] with almost 200 million striking people.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Grevatt|first=Martha|date=2019-01-14|title=All-India General Strike is largest in world history|url=https://www.workers.org/2019/01/40392/|access-date=2022-02-06|website=Workers World|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Over 250 million workers join national strike in India|language=en|work=IndustriALL|url=https://www.industriall-union.org/over-250-million-workers-join-national-strike-in-india|access-date=2022-02-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Two-day general strike to protect national security: Trade unions|url=https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2019/01/07/Two-day-general-strike-to-protect-national-security-Trade-unions.html|access-date=2022-02-06|website=The Week|language=en}}</ref> Ten Indian union federations had called for the nationwide strike.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2019-01-11|title=[8. und 9.

<br />
The call for strikes led to strong participation, both in the various sectors of the public service and in privately organized industry and the informal sector. The trade union federations had agreed on a catalog of 12 demands and wanted, among other things, to prevent anti-union legislation from the [[Premiership of Narendra Modi|Modi government]] that was about to be passed. The strikers also demanded a minimum wage and pension for people in India, and a 12-month limit on contract work.<ref name=":0" /> The governments of various Indian states, e.g. from [[West Bengal]] and [[Tamil Nadu]] threatened the strikers with countermeasures.<ref name=":0" /> The following [[2020 Indian general strike]] that was held across [[India]] on 26 November 2020 was even larger.<br />
<br />
The trade union federations [[Indian National Trade Union Congress|INTUC]], AITUC, [[Hind Mazdoor Sabha|Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS)]], CITU, [[All India United Trade Union Centre|All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC)]], TUCC, [[Self Employed Women's Association|Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA)]], AICCTU, [[Labour Progressive Federation|Labour Progressive Federation (LPF)]] and UTUC had called for the strike. Only the RSS union, which belongs to the right-wing Hindu [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]], did not take part.<br />

In English, its title can be translated literally as "meditation on the Gita," and it is also sometimes called the ''Invocation to the Gita''.<ref name=easwaran75/>{{rp|395}}<br />
<br />
The nine ''Gita Dhyanam'' verses offer salutations to a variety of sacred scriptures, figures, and entities, characterize the relationship of the ''Gita'' to the ''[[Upanishads]]'', and affirm the power of divine assistance. Although differing accounts are given of its origins, the poem is widely circulated in India, and its verses have been quoted by many [[Hindu]] leaders.<br />

|}The ''Gītā Dhyānam'''s first verse opens by affirming an act of meditation (''anusandadhāmi''): "Om. I meditate on the ''[[Bhagavad Gītā]]'', which gave enlightenment to [[Arjuna]]... by the [[Narayana|Lord himself]]"<ref name=easwaran75/>{{rp|395}}<ref name=verse1skrit>(italics added) The corresponding [[Sanskrit]] reads: "Om [[Arjuna|pārthāya]] [[Bodhi|pratibodhitāṃ]] [[Narayana|bhagavatā nārāyaṇena svayaṃ]]... tvam anusandadhāmi [[Bhagavad Gita|bhagavad-gite]]" (See Easwaran, 1975, p. 394, or Chinmayananda, 1998, pp. 1-2).</ref> The ''Gītā'' is also affirmed as a mother (''bhagavatīm'', ''amba'') who rescues from ceaseless change (''bhava dveṣiṇīm''). The next verse offers salutations to [[Vyasa|Vyāsa]], the traditional recorder of the ''Gītā''. Several additional verses offer salutations (''namaḥ'', bowing down) to [[Krishna|Kṛṣṇa]] (verses 3, 5, 8), or to the supreme Godhead (''devāya'', verse 9<ref name=chinmayav9>About verse 9, Chinmayananda (1998) comments that "The invocation of the Supreme-most is undertaken here through a peculiar literary trick. The extent of the Infinite cannot be comprehended by anyone and therefore, it can only be indicated by suggestive terms. Even the Creator and the ''Vedik'' Deities representing the phenomenal powers must be praying to and invoking their own glorious powers only at the altars of the Infinite and so it is said that we invoke Him, whom the deities of the ''Vedik'' period invoke by their Divine hymns" (p. 26).</ref>).<br />
<br />
The commonly quoted fourth verse characterizes the ''[[Bhagavad Gita|Gītā]]'' as a distillation of the wisdom of the ''[[Upanishads]]''. It uses the image of the ''Upanishads'' as like cows, and Arjuna (the person to whom the ''Gītā'' is told) as like a calf who is receiving their milk. This and another selected verse are shown in the table at right, in English translation, [[Sanskrit]] original, and romanized transliteration.<br />
<br />
The eighth verse affirms faith that God (represented in the ''[[Bhagavad Gita|Gītā]]'' as [[Krishna|Kṛṣṇa]]) can work benevolent miracles, such as giving speech to the dumb. This verse, shown in the table, is also commonly quoted.<br />
<br />
The remaining ''Gītā Dhyānam'' verses extoll the virtues of the ''[[Mahabharata|Mahābhārata]]'', the larger scripture in which the ''Gītā'' is embedded, or describe the challenges and foes overcome by [[Arjuna]], to whom [[Krishna|Kṛṣṇa]] spoke the ''Gītā'' (verses 6 and 7).<br />
