'''Forum for India–Pacific Islands Cooperation''' ('''FIPIC''') is a multinational grouping developed in 2014 for cooperation between the [[India|Republic of India]] and 14 [[Pacific Islands]] nations which include [[Cook Islands]], [[Fiji]], [[Kiribati]], [[Marshall Islands]], [[Federated States of Micronesia]], [[Nauru]], [[Niue]], [[Samoa]], [[Solomon Islands]], [[Palau]], [[Papua New Guinea]], [[Tonga]], [[Tuvalu]] and [[Vanuatu]]. All [[Head of state|heads of state]] or [[head of government|heads of government]] of the above countries met in [[Suva]], Fiji in November 2014 for the first time where the annual summit was conceptualised.

== Summits ==
===1st Summit-Suva, Fiji===
[[Prime Minister of India]], [[Narendra Modi]] chose to visit [[Fiji]] soon after democracy was re-established in the island country after 8 years. There apart from bilateral meeting, he also met heads of state/government from 14 pacific island states to enhance India's engagement in the region and proposed a 'Forum for India–Pacific Islands Cooperation' (FIPIC) be held on a regular basis.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/PM-Modi-woos-Fiji-days-ahead-of-Xis-visit/articleshow/45211853.cms|title=PM Modi woos Fiji days ahead of Xi's visit|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=20 November 2014|access-date=24 November 2014}}</ref> He conveyed there India's keenness to work closely with Pacific Island nations to advance their development priorities in this regard a number of measures to strengthen India's partnership in the region were proposed which include setting up of a 'special fund of {{currency|1|USD}} [[million]]' for adapting climate change vis-a-vis clean energy, establishing a 'trade office' in India, 'Pan Pacific Islands e-network' to close the physical distance between the islands by improving digital connectivity, extending visa on arrival at Indian airports for all the fourteen Pacific Island countries, 'space cooperation' in space technology applications for improving the quality of life of the islands, 'training to diplomats' from Pacific Island countries to increase mutual understanding.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fijilive.com/news/2014/11/modi-proposes-forum-for-india-pacific-cooperation/59709/ |title=Modi proposes Forum for India-Pacific |publisher=[[Fiji Live]] |date=20 November 2014 |access-date=24 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129075131/http://fijilive.com/news/2014/11/modi-proposes-forum-for-india-pacific-cooperation/59709/ |archive-date=29 November 2014 }}</ref> He also expressed his willingness to host the leaders in any of India's coastal town for the next summit in 2015. It was quite significant to see [[Chinese Communist Party]] [[General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party|general secretary]] [[Xi Jinping]] following Modi's trail visited Fiji on 21 November (just 2 days after Modi's trip) to meet a similar gathering of leaders indicating a struggle for influence between the two Asian giants in the island countries of south pacific.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.claws.in/1288/india-china-chase-now-extends-to-fiji-with-modi-and-xis-visits-dr-monika-chansoria.html|title=India-China Chase now Extends to Fiji with Modi and Xi's Visits|publisher=Centre for Land and Warfare Studies|date=21 November 2014|access-date=24 November 2014|archive-date=3 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141203094255/http://www.claws.in/1288/india-china-chase-now-extends-to-fiji-with-modi-and-xis-visits-dr-monika-chansoria.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/fijian-stopover-as-narendra-modi-and-xi-jinping-charm-pacific/story-e6frg6nf-1227130089619|title=Fijian stopover as Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping charm Pacific|newspaper=[[The Australian]]|date=21 November 2014|access-date=24 November 2014}}</ref>

===2nd Summit-Jaipur, India===
One of the key outcome of the first summit in Suva, Fiji was that top leadership of both India and Pacific Islands should meet at a regular interval and an annual summit should be instituted in this regard. Modi invited all the 14 Pacific Islands nations head of states/head of government to India for the next rounds of talks in 2015 and North Indian city of [[Jaipur]], which is also known as "Pink City", was selected to host the main summit on 21 August 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fijisun.com.fj/2015/08/05/india-to-host-14-pacific-leaders/|title=India To Host 14 Pacific Leaders|publisher=[[Fiji Sun Online]]|date=5 August 2015|access-date=6 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Security-Stepped-up-in-Jaipur-Ahead-of-FIPIC-Summit/2015/08/20/article2984584.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150822181300/http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Security-Stepped-up-in-Jaipur-Ahead-of-FIPIC-Summit/2015/08/20/article2984584.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 August 2015|title=Security Stepped up in Jaipur Ahead of FIPIC Summit|newspaper=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=20 August 2015|access-date=20 August 2015}}</ref>

As per of India's extended [[Act East policy]], the South Asian country is actively promoting good relations with smaller islands nations of the South Pacific, along with heavyweights in the region, and cooperating on multiple issues which include blue economy (ocean-based economy), oil and natural gas, mining, IT, health care, fishing and marine research. Space collaboration with Pacific countries are of vital for India as they provide [[ISRO]], India's space administration, an eye to monitor launch of their rockets.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/for-india-small-is-big|title=For India, small is big|newspaper=[[The Straits Times]]|date=20 August 2015|access-date=20 August 2015}}</ref> Indian President [[Pranab Mukherjee]] welcomed all the visiting dignitaries at [[Rashtrapati Bhavan]] on 20 August 2015 following which leaders went to [[Agra]], on their way to Jaipur the summit venue, for a tour of famous [[Taj Mahal]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/india-pacific-islands-cooperation-summit-tomorrow-in-jaipur/articleshow/48558866.cms|title=India-Pacific Islands Cooperation Summit tomorrow in Jaipur|newspaper=[[The Economic Times]]|date=20 August 2015|access-date=20 August 2015}}</ref> In Jaipur summit, Modi announced to convene international conference on blue economy in New Delhi in 2016 and invited all the experts form the island nations, set up Space Application Center, in partnership with ISRO, in any of the 14 countries and friendly port calls by the [[Indian Navy]]. Pacific leaders have expressed their concerns over climate change and its effect on their respective counties. India also assured them to voice their concerns and appropriate measures at the [[2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference]] (COP 21) in Paris. In return all the 14 visiting head of state/government reiterated their support to India's bid for a permanent memberships at the reformed [[United Nations Security Council]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Indian-Navy-Visits-Ocean-Economy-Meet-India-Pacific-Islands-for-Closer-Ties/2015/08/22/article2986660.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150826080054/http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Indian-Navy-Visits-Ocean-Economy-Meet-India-Pacific-Islands-for-Closer-Ties/2015/08/22/article2986660.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 August 2015|title=Indian Navy Visits Ocean Economy Meet; India-Pacific Islands for Closer Ties|access-date=21 August 2015}}</ref>

==Plot==
Bijay, the son of a prominent businessman from Siliguri, comes to [[Calcutta]] for his higher studies. At the [[Bidhannagar Road railway station]], he has a chance of meeting with Rupa. Bijay experiences what is termed as "[[love at first sight]]" according to his mentor and maternal uncle Prabhu Mama. In spite of getting off on the wrong foot with a student, Rana, at his college, they become close friends after Bijay helps Rana fight off some goons. Although Bijay comes from a rich and affluent background, he is very down to earth, a fact that Rana appreciates.

Bijay pursues Rupa, unaware of the fact that Rupa is Rana's younger sister. An initially disinterested Rupa gradually falls in love with him too. However, upon hearing from Rana how a friend of his had betrayed him in the past- by eloping with his other sister on the day of her wedding- Bijay sacrifices his love for his friendship with Rana, fearing that Rana would think of his relationship with Rupa as a betrayal too.
Rupa, on the other hand, is unwilling to let go. Unable to change Bijay's mind, she watches helplessly as her family arranges for her wedding. Desperate, she consumes poison and is taken to the hospital, where all is revealed. Rana is touched by his friend's sacrifice and asks Bijay to accept his sister's hand in marriage.

==Plot==
The film begins with Raja, the beloved son of a tycoon, Chakrapani, whom he indulges and allows to spend his life frolicking. Once, Raja clashes with a spirited lady, Radhabai, and contretemps goes on. Besides, Kotilingam, a business ally of Chakrapani, conducts manipulations and schemes to slay his associate via his son Giri. Raja breaks the ploy, sentences Giri, and Chakrapani blackballs him. Consequently, Ranga Rao, a trustworthy worker, slaps Kotilingam and victimizes his avenge by amputation of his leg. Whereat, Bhaskar, the son of Ranga Rao, takes up his post, who is in love with Chakrapani's daughter Nirmala.

Meanwhile, Raja moves to the next town on a business trip when he is acquainted with vainglory Sirisha, who gives Raja a puzzle to detect her whereabouts. In return, he views a turmoil. Nirmala is gravely wounded, and riots are acted against Chakrapani by the workers. Forthwith, he spots Bhaskar dead, and workers accuse Chakrapani as the murderer. Indeed, in his absence, Chakrapani gazes at Nirmala's love affair, which hits Bhaskar hard; that night, goons slaughter him, and Nirmala is wounded while absconding. Presently, Raja decides to undertake atonement and penalty for his father's cruelty and moves as a foster to Ranga Rao. Since then, Raja accepts their liabilities, yet, Ranga Rao's wife Lakshmi treats him like feces, thresholds it with patience, and joins as a worker in the factory. Beholding it, Radha Bai is fond of him.

Moreover, he files a case against Chakrapani as the main convict in Bhaskar's case—Kotilingam artifices in that plight by bailing out Chakrapani. Further, as a surprise, Sirisha debuts as his daughter and desires to possess Raja. Now, she convinces Chakrapani to post her as chairperson of the company to retrieve Raja. From there, Sirisha moves several pawns to coerce him and is accelerated to lock down. Plus, Sirisha tricks and snares Bhaskar's sister Rukmini by Raja's cousin Vishnu. The situation worsens when workers struggle hard for survival. Still, Raja stands firm. At that point, Rukmini conceives what Raja perceives and rages at Sirisha when she reforms. Shortly, he whips out Vishnu against all and arranges the wedlock. On the eve, Kotilingam's men onslaught when Rukmini recognizes them as a homicide of Bhaskar, whom Raja catches and divulges the actuality that Kotilingam slain Bhaskar on behalf of Chakrapani. Parallelly, Chakrapani & Lakshmi overhear it and repent. At last, Raja ceases the baddies. The movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Raja & Radhabai.

NamMcduffie6361: put up a biography

{{Short description|Retired Indian police officer}}

{{Lead rewrite|date=February 2026}}

'''Kuldip Sharma''' is a retired Indian bureaucrat who previously served as the Director General of the Bureau of Police Research and Development, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi. He was awarded Indian Police Medal by the President for meritorious service on Republic Day 1994, Police (Special Duties) Medal for service in J & K, and President's Police Medal for distinguished service on Independence Day 2001.

== Family ==
He is a brother of [[Pradeep Nirankarnath Sharma]].{{Relevance|reason=Why is his brother important? What bearing does his bother have on his career?|date=February 2026}}

== Biography ==

A member of the 1976 IPS batch, he was serving as an [[Additional Director General]] in the CID department when he accused BJP politician and then home minister of Gujarat [[Amit Shah]] of taking a ₹2.5 crore bribe for releasing [[Ketan Parekh]], who was involved in a ₹1600 crore scam by [[Madhavpura Mercantile Cooperative Bank|Madhavpura Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited]].{{When|reason=When did this happen? 1976, today, or some other time?|date=February 2026}} He was transferred to another department after he began investigating the bribery allegations against Amit Shah.{{When|reason=When did his investigations start? When was he transferred?|date=February 2026}} {{Sfn|Singh|2025}}

In a trafficking case involving [[Mallika Sarabhai#Politics|Mallika Sarabhai]], who had previously filed a petition in the Supreme Court against BJP CM of Gujarat Narendra Modi for his involvement in the [[Gujarat violence]], Sharma argued that he was pressurized and threatened by Amit Shah when he ordered the closure of the case. Sharma also stated that he faced threats from Amit Shah when he ordered a case against BJP politician [[Kamlesh Tiwari]] for extortion. {{Sfn|Singh|2025}}

In 2010, Gujarat Police submitted a report suspecting Amit Shah of involvement in the [[Death of Sohrabuddin Sheikh|encounter killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh]], which led to his arrest and subsequent chargesheeting in the case. The report was submitted on the orders of Sharma.{{Sfn|Singh|2025}}

In 2011, he was named as an accused in a fake encounter killing by the Modi government as part of a political vendetta, this case later was quashed by Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and Sharma was cleared of all charges. {{sfn|''www.ndtv.com''|2011}}
In 2012, acting on an official sanction issued by Narendra Modi, the court began the prosecution of Sharma in a minor wrongful confinement case dating to 1984. Sharma filed repeated appeals challenging the sanction. {{Sfn|Singh|2025}}{{sfn|Trivedi|2025}}

In 2015, Sharma's counsel [[Kapil Sibal]] claimed that the Gujarat government tried "every trick in the book to send the officer behind bars. It is very well known why such action was taken against him and the state government was hell-bent to wreck vengeance on Sharma." {{Sfn|Singh|2025}}

In early 2025, he was convicted in the case and an arrest warrant was issued against him later that year.{{sfn|Jha|2025}}{{sfn|''The Indian Express''|2025}} This was criticized as a politically motivated act against Sharma. {{Sfn|Singh|2025}}{{sfn|Trivedi|2025}}{{sfn|Mann|2025}} Congress spokesperson for Gujarat Hiren Banker stated "There are two types of law system operating in Gujarat. The one who speaks in favour of BJP government gets all the perks including promotions etc. The other is the one who questions the government and gets punishment by the state. The process is the punishment for them,".{{sfn|Mann|2025}}

'''Harbans Lall Gulati''' (c. 1896 – 13 June 1967) was an Indian-born physician living in [[London]], who was a councillor for both the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] and [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] parties. After the [[World War II|Second World War]] he took a special interest in the effect of [[rationing]] on the health of the population and was an active campaigner for the extension of mobile canteen services to older people who could not queue for rations. He had a special interest in [[ophthalmology]] and worked as a [[general practitioner]] in [[Battersea]], London for over four decades.

== Early life ==
Gulati, known popularly as "Lall", was born around 1896 in Shaipur, near [[Lahore]], Punjab, India. His exact date of birth is uncertain. He was the tenth son of Dola Ram Gulati and he had one younger sister.<ref name=":simpson"/>

==Career==
In 1916, Gulati became a medical officer in the [[Indian Medical Service]] after completing his medical training in [[Lahore]]. In 1919, he was in Amritsar at the time of the [[Jallianwala Bagh massacre|Amritsar massacre]]. In 1920, for reasons unknown, he worked his passage to the [[United Kingdom]] where he arrived in Liverpool penniless and walked to London.<ref name=":simpson"/><ref name=":obituary"/> His qualifications were not recognised in the UK and therefore he repeated his further education and medical training at [[Charing Cross Hospital]]. Friendless and without money, he did unskilled work at night to pay for his studies.<ref name=":obituary"/> Eventually qualifying with [[LRCP]] and [[Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom|MRCP]]<ref name=":simpson"/> in 1926, he entered [[general practice]] in the largely working-class district of Battersea in London.<ref name=":simpson">{{Cite ODNB|last=Simpson|first=Julian M.|date=4 October 2012|title=Gulati, (Harbans) Lall (1895/6–1967), general practitioner, ophthalmologist, and local politician {{!}} Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-73274|language=en|volume=|pages=|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/73274|isbn=9780198614111|via=}}{{Subscription required}}</ref><ref name=":esmail2007">{{Cite journal|last=Esmail|first=Aneez|date=1 October 2007|title=Asian doctors in the NHS: service and betrayal|journal=The British Journal of General Practice|volume=57|issue=543|pages=827–834|pmc=2151817|pmid=17925142}}</ref>

== Politics ==
In 1934, Gulati was elected a councillor for the Conservative Party. However, he resigned from the party in 1947 because of their lack of support for the [[National Health Service]]<ref name=":esmail2007" /> He was a member of the Food Control Committee, where he was concerned about post-war rationing effects on the health of the population and he joined the [[Socialist Medical Association]] and the Labour Party, becoming a Labour member of the [[London County Council]] for [[Battersea South (London County Council constituency)|Battersea South]] and later standing unsuccessfully for parliament.{{Citation needed|reason=No evidence he stood for Parliament.

==Early life==

Gajpati was the son of the Ujjainiya ruler, Raja Badal Singh and the nephew of Raja Dalpat Sahi.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite book |last1=Garg |first1=Sanjay |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JM5wDwAAQBAJ&dq=gajpati+ujjainia&pg=PA363 |title=Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H.

In 1532, his mother requested [[Sher Shah Suri]] to help her sons get back the throne of Bhojpur. With the support of Sher Shah Suri, Gajpati defeated and killed Shivram Singh and ascended the throne of Bhojpur in 1534.<ref name="Ansari2019">{{cite book |author=Tahir Hussain Ansari |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kUueDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT234 |title=Mughal Administration and the Zamindars of Bihar |date=20 June 2019 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-00-065152-2 |pages=61–62}}</ref><ref name="Ahmad" />

==Battle of Surajgarha==
The Ujjainiyas under the leadership of Raja Gajpati helped [[Sher Shah Suri]] in the battle of Surajgarha against the [[Bengal sultanate]] who at the time were a major regional power. Raja Gajpati handpicked 2000 of his best men and was able to help Sher Shah Suri in achieving victory. General Ibrahim Khan was killed by Raja Gajpati and all the camp equipment, elephants and artillery pieces of the Bengal army fell into the hands of Ujjainiyas. In return for their help, the Ujjainiyas were entitled to any of the spoils of war that they looted from the defeated army. Sher Shah also assigned Rohtas and Buxar to him as a reward and gifted a sword to his brother, Bairi Sal.<ref name="Ansari2019" /><ref>{{cite journal | title=The Role of Ujjainia Chiefs of Bhojpur in the Battle of Surajgarha (1530 A.D.): Summary | author=Muhammad Iftekhar Alam | journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress |volume = 52| year=1991 | pages= 122–127|jstor = 44142625}}</ref>

==Aftermath==
Following the battle, Gajpati was embroiled in another familial feud with Birbhan of Arail who requested Emperor [[Humayun]] in gaining the throne of Bhojpur in 1538.<ref name="Ansari2019" /> Humayun provided him with some retainers and they succeeded in driving Gajpati out of his stronghold. Birbhan also supported Humayun in his clashes with Sher Shah Suri as a result of this. Gajpati in turn, after being dispossessed from his dominion, joined Sher Shah Suri and possibly took a leading role in the [[Battle of Chausa]]. He then managed to recapture his dominion and made [[Jagdishpur]] his capital and constructed a fortress there. After the defeat of [[Humayun]], Gajpati extended his boundaries till Jaunpur, becoming the most powerful ruler of the North-western Bihar. However, he remained under the suzerainty of [[Sur Empire]].<ref name="Ansari2019" />

Later in his life, he eventually did alliance with the Mughals in their offensive against Afghans in Bihar but oftentimes kept raising the standard of rebellion.<ref name="Ahmad" />

'''Neo-scholasticism''' (also known as '''neo-scholastic [[Thomism]]'''<ref name=":0">{{cite web |author=Feser |first=Edward |author-link=Edward Feser |date=15 October 2009 |title=The Thomistic tradition, Part I |url=http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2009/10/thomistic-tradition-part-i.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101129133527/http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2009/10/thomistic-tradition-part-i.html |archive-date=29 November 2010 |access-date=30 October 2025 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> or '''neo-Thomism''' because of the great influence of the writings of [[Thomas Aquinas]] on the movement) is a revival and development of medieval [[scholasticism]] in [[Catholic]] [[theology]] and [[scholastic philosophy|philosophy]] which began in the second half of the 19th century.

==Origins==
During the medieval period, [[scholasticism]] became the standard accepted method of philosophy and theology. The Scholastic method declined with the advent of [[humanism]] in the 15th and 16th centuries, after which time it came to be viewed by some{{who?|date=October 2021}} as rigid and formalistic. "Scholastic philosophy did not, however, completely disappear. An important movement of [[Second scholasticism|Scholastic revival]] took place during the 16th and 17th centuries and enriched Scholastic literature with many eminent contributions, in addition to adapting scholastic thought to modern problems and synthesising the currents of thought of various authors of medieval scholasticism, such as Thomism, Scotism or nominalism. [[Francisco de Vitoria]] (1483–1546), [[Thomas Cajetan|Thomas de Vio Cajetan]] (1469–1534), [[Gabriel Vásquez]] (1551–1604), [[Francisco de Toledo (Jesuit)|Francisco de Toledo]] (1532–1596), [[Pedro da Fonseca (philosopher)|Pedro da Fonseca]] (1528–1599), and especially [[Francisco Suárez]] (1548–1617) were profound thinkers, worthy of the great masters whose principles they had adopted."<ref>Joseph Louis Perrier, ''The Revival of Scholastic Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century'', "Chapter VIII: "Chapter VIII: Forerunners of the Neo-Scholastic Revival," Accessed 30 October 2025.</ref> Moreover, as J. A. Weisheipl emphasises, within the [[Dominican Order]] Thomistic scholasticism has been continuous since the time of Aquinas: "Thomism was always alive in the Dominican Order, small as it was after the ravages of the Reformation, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic occupation. Repeated legislation of the General Chapters, beginning after the death of St. Thomas, as well as the Constitutions of the Order, required all Dominicans to teach the doctrine of St. Thomas both in philosophy and in theology."<ref>{{cite web |title=The Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Albert the Great » "The Revival of Thomism: An Historical Survey" (James Weisheipl) |url=http://domcentral.org/blog/the-revival-of-thomism-an-historical-survey-weisheipl/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927202339/http://domcentral.org/blog/the-revival-of-thomism-an-historical-survey-weisheipl/ |archive-date=27 September 2013 |access-date=30 October 2025}} "The Revival of Thomism: An Historical Survey", James Weisheipl, 1962.</ref> A further idea of the longstanding historic continuity of Dominican scholasticism and neo-scholasticism may be derived from the [[list of people associated with the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas]].

In the mid-19th century, interest in scholastic thought began once again to flourish, in large part in reaction against the [[Modernism in the Catholic Church|Modernist]] current inspired by thinkers such as [[René Descartes]], [[Immanuel Kant]] and [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel|Georg Hegel]], whose principles were perceived to conflict with Christian dogma.<ref>Fergus Kerr, ''Twentieth-Century Catholic Theologians'', (Blackwell, 2007), p. 1.</ref> Theological Modernism never coalesced into an authoritative doctrine; perhaps it was most clearly [[Pascendi Dominici gregis|defined by Pius X in 1907]], when he condemned it as ‘the sum of all heresies’. However, the most consistent threads of Modernist thought include: (1) the belief that revelation continues up to the present day and did not stop after the apostles; (2) the belief that dogmas are not immutable, and their formulas could change both in interpretation and content; (3) the use of the historical-critical method in biblical exegesis.<ref>See Jürgen Mettepenningen, ''Nouvelle Théologie – New Theology: Inheritor of Modernism, Precursor of Vatican II'', (London: T&T Clark, 2010), p. 20.</ref>

For many thinkers, the dangers of Modernism could only be overcome by a complete restoration of scholastic theology which culminated in Aquinas. His writings were increasingly viewed as the ultimate expression of orthodox philosophy and theology, to which all Catholic thought must remain faithful.<ref>This way of approaching Thomas was itself scholastic in inspiration. The scholastics used a book by a renowned scholar, called [[Author|auctor]], as basic course literature. By reading this book thoroughly and critically, the disciples learned to appreciate the theories of the auctor and, thus, of the problems studied in the whole discipline, in a critical and self-confident way. Scholastic works therefore have a tendency to take the form of a long list of "footnotes" to the works studied, not being able to take a stand as theories on their own.</ref>

This was particularly vigorous at first in Italy. "The direct initiator of the neo-Scholastic movement in Italy was [[Gaetano Sanseverino]] (1811–1865), a canon at Naples."<ref>Joseph Louis Perrier, ''The Revival of Scholastic Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century'', "Chapter IX: The Neo-Scholastic Revival in Italy", {{cite web |title=Jacques Maritain Center: Revival 9 |url=http://www3.nd.edu/Departments/Maritain/etext/perrier9.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151009074833/http://www3.nd.edu/Departments/Maritain/etext/perrier9.html |archive-date=9 October 2015 |access-date=30 October 2025}}</ref> The influential German Jesuit [[Joseph Kleutgen]] (1811–83), who taught at Rome, argued that post-Cartesian philosophy undermined Catholic theology, and that its remedy was the Aristotelian scientific method of Aquinas.<ref>Fergus Kerr, ‘Thomism’, in ''The Cambridge Dictionary of Christian Theology'' (Cambridge, 2011), p. 507.</ref> From 1874 to 1891, the Accademia di San Tommaso published the review ''La Scienza Italiana''. Numerous works were produced by [[Giovanni Maria Cornoldi]] (1822–92), [[Giuseppe Pecci]], [[Tommaso Maria Zigliara]] (1833–93), Satolli (1839–1909), [[Matteo Liberatore]] (1810–92), Barberis (1847–96), Schiffini (1841–1906), de Maria, Talamo, Lorenzelli, Ballerini, Mattiussi and others. The Italian writers at first laid special emphasis on the metaphysics of Scholasticism, and less on the empirical sciences or the history of philosophy.

Papal support for such trends began under Pope [[Pius IX]], who praised the movement in various letters. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception (1854), the ''[[Syllabus of Errors]]'' (1864) and the proclamation of papal infallibility (1870) all heralded a move away from Modernist ideas.<ref>Jürgen Mettepenningen, ''Nouvelle Théologie – New Theology: Inheritor of Modernism, Precursor of Vatican II'', (London: T&T Clark, 2010), p. 19.</ref>

The most decisive impetus was Pope [[Leo XIII]]'s [[encyclical]] ''[[Aeterni Patris]]'' of 4 August 1879, which set out and strongly endorsed the principles of neo-scholasticism, calling for "Christian philosophy to be restored according to the spirit of St Thomas".

==Key principles==
[[File:Gentile da Fabriano 052.jpg|thumb|[[Thomas Aquinas]]]]{{Original research|date=February 2023}}
"Neo-Scholasticism is characterized by systematic investigation, analytical rigor, clear terminology, and argumentation that proceeds from first principles, chief among them that objective truth is both real and knowable."<ref>[https://www.newoxfordreview.org/documents/can-neo-scholasticism-make-a-comeback/# Iovino, James. "Can Neo-Scholasticism Make a Comeback?", ''New Oxford Review'', January-February 2018]</ref> Neo-scholasticism sought to restore the fundamental doctrines embodied in the scholasticism of the 13th century, which may be summarised as follows:

1. [[God]] is [[Actus purus|pure actuality]] and absolute perfection, substantially distinct from every finite thing. He alone can create and preserve all beings other than Himself. His infinite knowledge includes all that was, is, or shall be, and all that is possible.

2. As to our knowledge of the material world: whatever exists is itself, an incommunicable, individual substance. To the core of self-sustaining reality, in the [[oak]]-tree for instance, other realities (accidents) are added—size, form, roughness, and so on. All oak-trees are identical in respect of certain constituent elements. Considering this likeness and even identity, our human intelligence groups them into one species and again, in view of their common characteristics, it ranges various species under one genus. Such is the Aristotelean solution of the [[problem of universals]]. Each substance is in its nature fixed and determined; and Scholasticism excludes a theory of [[evolution]] which would regard even the essences of things as products of change.

But this static conception requires as its complement a moderate dynamism, supplied by the central concepts of [[Entelechy|act]] and potency. Whatsoever changes is, just for that reason, limited. The oak-tree passes through a process of growth, of becoming: whatever is actually in it now was potentially in it from the beginning. Its vital functions go on unceasingly (accidental change); but the tree itself will die, and out of its decayed trunk other substances will come forth (substantial change). The theory of matter and form is simply an interpretation of the substantial changes which bodies undergo. The union of matter and form constitutes the essence of concrete being, and this essence is endowed with existence. Throughout all change and becoming there runs a rhythm of finality; the activities of the countless substances of the universe converge towards an end which is known to God; finality involves optimism.

3. Man, a compound of body (matter) and of [[soul]] (form), puts forth activities of a higher order—knowledge and volition. Through his senses he perceives concrete objects, e.g. this oak; through his intellect he knows the abstract and universal (the oak). All our intellectual activity rests on sensory function; but through the active intellect (intellectus agens) an abstract representation of the sensible object is provided for the intellectual possibility. Hence the characteristic of the idea, its non-materiality, and on this is based the principal argument for the spirituality and [[immortality]] of the soul. Here, too, is the foundation of logic and of the theory of knowledge, the justification of our judgments and [[syllogism]]s.

Upon knowledge follows the appetitive process, sensory or intellectual according to the sort of knowledge. The [[Will (philosophy)|will]] (''appetitus intellectualis'') in certain conditions [[Free will|is free]], and thanks to this liberty man is the master of his destiny. Like all other beings, we have an end to attain and we are morally obliged, though not compelled, to attain it.

Natural happiness would result from the full development of our powers of knowing and loving. We should find and possess God in this world since the corporeal world is the proper object of our intelligence. But above nature is the order of grace and our supernatural happiness will consist in the direct intuition of God, the beatific vision. Here philosophy ends and theology begins.

==Late-19th-century spread==
In the period from the publication of ''[[Aeterni Patris]]'' in 1879 until the 1920s, neo-scholasticism gradually established itself as exclusive and all-pervading.<ref>Jürgen Mettepenningen, ''Nouvelle Théologie – New Theology: Inheritor of Modernism, Precursor of Vatican II'', (London: T&T Clark, 2010), p. 20.</ref>

On October 15, 1879, Leo XIII created the [[Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas]], and ordered the publication of the critical "Leonine Edition", of Aquinas' complete works.<ref>Previous critical editions of Thomas’s work had been published before, at Parma in 1852–73, and in Paris in 1871–80, but the Leonine edition, produced under the guidance of [[Tommaso Maria Zigliara]], professor of theology at the ''Collegium Divi Thomae de Urbe'' (the future [[Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas|Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum'']]), superseded both of these.</ref> The pope expanded Thomist studies in the ''Collegium Divi Thomae de Urbe'' (the future [[Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas|Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum'']]), founding its Faculty of [[Philosophy]] in 1882 and its Faculty of [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Canon Law]] in 1896.

The thought of Thomas Aquinas gained papal ascendency over all other ‘modern’ systems of thought. In particular, the Aristotelianism of Thomas preferred to the thought of [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]].<ref>For example, Boutroux thought that Aristotle's system might well serve as an offset to [[Kantism]] and evolution. ''Aristote, Etudes d'histoire et de philosophie'', (Paris, 1901, 202). Moreover, [[Friedrich Paulsen|Paulsen]], ‘Kant der Philosoph des Protestantismus’, ''Kantstudien'', (1899) and [[Rudolf Christoph Eucken|Eucken]], ''Thomas von Aquino u. Kant, Ein Kampf zweier Welten'', loc. cit., 1901 declared neo-Thomism the rival of Kantism, and the conflict between them the "clash of two worlds". [[Adolf von Harnack]], ''Lehrbuch d. Dogmengesch'', III, 3rd. ed., 327, [[Seeberg]], ''Realencyklopädie f. Prot. Theol. '' 5. v. "Scholastik" and others argued against underrating the value of scholastic doctrine.</ref> Other ‘modern’ forms of thought, including [[ontologism]], [[Traditionalist School (perennialism)|traditionalism]], the [[Dualistic cosmology#In Christianity|dualism]] of [[Anton Günther]], and the thought of [[Descartes]], were also seen as flawed in comparison to Thomism.

The movement spread outside Italy, finding supporters in Germany,<ref>Such as [[Joseph Kleutgen|Kleutgen]] (1811–83) and [[Albert Stöckl|Stöckl]] (1823–95), and the authors of the "Philosophia Lacensis" published at Maria Laach by the Jesuits (Pesch, Hontheim, Cathrein), Gutberlet, Commer, Willmann, Kaufmann, Glossner, Grabmann and Schneid.</ref> Spain,<ref>Such as Gonzalez (1831–92), Orti y Lara, Urráburu, and Gómez Izquierdo</ref> the Netherlands,<ref>Such as de Groot</ref> Belgium,<ref>Such as de San (1832–1904), Dupont and Lepidi</ref> England,<ref>Clarke, Maher, John Rickaby, [[Joseph Rickaby]], Boedder (Stonyhurst Series)</ref> Switzerland,<ref>Such as [[Mandonnet]] at Freiburg</ref> France,<ref>Such as Farges, Dormet de Vorges (1910), Vallet, Gardair, Fonsegrive and Piat</ref> Hungary,<ref>Kiss and Pécsi.</ref> the United States,<ref>Such as Coppens, Poland, Brother Chrysostom, and the professors at the Catholic University (Shanahan, Turner, and Pace).</ref> Argentina,<ref>[[Julio Meinvielle]] and [[Nimio de Anquín]]</ref> Mexico,<ref>Garcia</ref> Brazil<ref>Santroul</ref> and Australia.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 July 2018 |title=Toongabbie's Thomist philosopher |url=https://catholicoutlook.org/toongabbies-thomist-philosopher-parra |access-date=30 October 2025 |website=Catholic Outlook |language=en-AU}}</ref> At [[Leuven|Louvain]] in Belgium (then still a francophone university), Leo XIII in 1891 established the ''Institut de philosophie'' to teach the doctrine of Aquinas together with history and the natural sciences.<ref>The Institute was placed in charge of [[Désiré-Joseph Mercier]] whose "Cours de philosophie" was translated into many major European languages.</ref> It was endorsed by four [[Catholic lay organisations|Catholic Congress]]es: Paris (1891), Brussels (1895), Freiburg (1897), and Munich (1900).

==Early-20th-century development==
In the early 20th century, neo-Thomism became official Catholic doctrine, and became increasingly defined in opposition to Modernism.

In July 1907, [[Pope Pius X]] issued the decree ''[[Lamentabili sane exitu]]'', which condemned 65 Modernist propositions. Two months later, he issued the encyclical ''[[Pascendi Dominici gregis|Pascendi Dominici Gregis]]'', in which he unequivocally condemned the agnosticism, immanentism, and relativism of Modernism as the 'synthesis of all heresies'.<ref name="Hans Boersma 2009 p18">[[Hans Boersma]], ''Nouvelle Theologie and Sacramental Ontology: A Return to Mystery'', (Oxford: OUP, 2009), p. 18.</ref> The anti-Modernist oath of 1910 was very important; this remained in force until 1966.<ref name="Hans Boersma 2009 p18" /> In 1914, Pius X issued a list of 24 philosophical propositions summarising the central tenets of neo-scholasticism to be taught in all colleges as fundamental elements of philosophy; and in 1916, these 24 propositions were confirmed as normative. In 1917, the Church's new [[1917 Code of Canon Law|Code of Canon Law]] (''Codex Iuris Canonici'') insisted that the doctrine, methods, and principles of Thomas should be used in teaching philosophy and theology.<ref>Jürgen Mettepenningen, ''Nouvelle Théologie – New Theology: Inheritor of Modernism, Precursor of Vatican II'', (London: T&T Clark, 2010), p. 25.</ref> Thomist thought therefore became the basis of the manuals and textbooks in Catholic colleges and seminaries before [[Vatican II]], and was promoted also to the laity.<ref>{{cite news |author=Ryan |first=Patrick Joseph |author-link=Ryan |date=17 May 1934 |title=The Fundamental Tenets of Scholasticism: Old and New |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/104375893 |access-date=30 October 2025 |work=Catholic Press |location=Sydney}}</ref>

==Variation within the tradition==
Writers such as [[Edouard Hugon]], [[Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange]], and [[Henri Grenier]] maintained the tradition of the manuals. Others varied in their interpretation, including [[Martin Grabmann]] (1875–1949), Amato Masnovo (1880–1955), Francesco Olgiati (1886–1962), and [[Antonin-Dalmace Sertillanges]] (1863–1948).<ref>Battista Mondin's Metafisica di san Tommaso d'Aquino e i suoi interpreti (2002).</ref> Authors such as [[Étienne Gilson]], [[Jacques Maritain]], and [[Joseph Maréchal]] investigated alternative interpretations of Aquinas from the 1920s until the 1950s. Gilson and Maritain in particular taught and lectured throughout Europe and North America, influencing a generation of English-speaking Catholic philosophers.

Historical investigation into Thomas's thought led some to believe that neo-Thomism did not always reflect the thought of Thomas Aquinas himself, as argued by writers such as [[Étienne Gilson]], [[Marie-Dominique Chenu]], and [[Henri de Lubac]]. At [[Vatican II]], traditional neo-Thomist thought was opposed by exponents of this ''[[nouvelle théologie]]''.

Many Thomists, however, continue in the neo-scholastic tradition. Some relatively recent proponents are treated in Battista Mondin's ''Metafisica di san Tommaso d'Aquino e i suoi interpreti'' (2002), which treats Carlo Giacon (1900–1984), Sofia Vanni Rovighi (1908–1990), [[Cornelio Fabro]] (1911–1995), Carlo Giacon (1900–1984),<ref>{{cite web |title=GIACON, Carlo in "Dizionario Biografico" |url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/carlo-giacon_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ |access-date=30 October 2025 |website=www.treccani.it}}</ref> [[Tomáš Týn]] (1950–1990), Abelardo Lobato (1925–2012), Leo Elders (1926–2019), and Enrico Berti (1935–2022), among others. Due to its suspicion of attempts to harmonise Aquinas with non-Thomistic categories and assumptions, neo-scholastic Thomism has sometimes been called '''strict observance Thomism'''.<ref name=:0/>

Anglophone theologians such as [[Edward Feser]], [[Ralph McInerny]], [[Brian Davies (philosopher)|Brian Davies]] have defended a contemporary revival of traditional neo-scholastic Thomistic metaphysics in response to modern philosophy.<ref>{{cite web |last=Feser |first=Edward |date=30 November 2008 |title=A Neo-Scholastic revival? |url=http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2008/11/neo-scholastic-revival.html}}</ref><ref name="Feser">{{cite web |author=Feser, Edward |date=15 October 2009 |title=The Thomistic tradition (Part 1) |url=http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2009/10/thomistic-tradition-part-i.html |access-date=30 October 2025}}</ref>

A '''kshullak''' (or kshullaka, lit. small or junior) is a junior [[Digambar]] [[Jain monk]].{{sfn|Jaini|1998|p=184}}<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071121212914/http://www.hindu.com/2006/05/14/stories/2006051404820300.htm ] Jain muni initiates his father into dharmic order</ref> A kshullak wears two garments as opposed to a full monk who wears no clothes.<ref>Jinendra Varni, Jainendra Siddhanta Kosa, V.2, pages, 188-189</ref> Specifically a Kshullaka is a Shravaka of the highest degree at 11th [[Pratima (Jainism)|Pratima]].

A kshullak is sometimes referred to by the earlier title Varni, even though Varni corresponds to the seventh [[Pratima (Jainism)|Pratima]].

Well known kshullakas include:

* Kshullaka [[Ganeshprasad Varni]]
* Kshullaka Jinendra Varni

A Digambara Jain [[shravaka]] at the highest rank of 11th [[Pratima (Jainism)|pratima]] is either a kshullaka or an ailaka. He is just one step below a full muni. His conduct is prescribed in Vasunandi Sravakachara and Lati Samhita.

A kshullaka wears a loin cloth (kaupina) and a white rectangular cloth as a wrap. An ailak uses only a loin cloth.

A kshullaka may live in a house or may be a wanderer. He may eat food placed in his palms, or from a container. He eats once a day. He may beg from a single house or from multiple ones.

A kshullaka may keep a yajnopavita and a shikha. In Jain tradition, [[Narada]] muni is assumed to be a Kshullak Jain monk.

[[Kolhapur]] in Maharashtra was also once known as Kshullakapur because of the presence of many Jain monks during the [[Shilahara]] rule.

== Etymology ==
The Sanskrit term ''kṣullaka'' is a late Vedic corruption of an earlier ''kṣudraka'' and means "tiny, small, trifling".

'''Moti Nagar''' is a neighbourhood located in the [[West Delhi]] district of [[Delhi]], [[India]]. It is situated near the Ring Road and is approximately half a kilometer from [[Punjabi Bagh]]. The area is also known for the Moti Nagar Market.

The area used to be part of the villages of Jhandewalan, Shadipur, and Basai Darapur, which were predominantly Rajput villages and consisted of humble hutments, farmlands, and forests, before being reorganized into the Moti Nagar resettlement colony in 1948–50.”<ref>Prerana Chatterjee, "Managing Urban Transformations of Refugee Settlements in West Delhi from Camps to Nagars: The Story of Moti Nagar and Kirti Nagar," p. 189, Scribd, https://www.scribd.com/document/911797295/121-Article-Text-195-1-10-20190807. Quote: “Moti Nagar was formed in 1948–50, aided by the Delhi Improvement Trust, to accommodate the people living as temporary squatters at Jhandewalan, Shadipur and Basai Darapur, which used to be Rajput villages with humble hutments and vast expanses of farmlands bordered by dense forests.”</ref>

This locality has 100 acres of the green park known as DDA district park Swatantra Bharat Mills, positioned adjacent to the DLF Capital Greens.<ref>[http://www.capitalgreensdelhi.com DLF Capital Greens]</ref>

The border haats aim at promoting the wellbeing of the people dwelling in remote areas across the borders of two countries by establishing a traditional system of marketing the local produce through local markets. Supporters of the policy believe that Border Haats enhance the bilateral people-to-people [[international relations]], rejuvenate local economy, create jobs, and provide diversity of quality goods at cheaper price specially in the remote border areas.<ref name=ne1>[https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/closer-economic-ties-with-neighbours-vital/article27060646.ece Closer economic ties with neighbours vital], The Hindu, 7 May 2019.</ref>

== Functioning of Haats ==

=== Management ===

Each border Haat is managed and organised by the ''Haat Management Committee'' of the respective border haat. It is jointly staffed by the India and the concerned nation which shares border with India.

=== Trade volume and currency ===

The trade at border haats is permitted to be carried out either on a [[barter]] basis or in [[Indian rupee|Indian Rupees]] and the currency of country with which border is shared, for example, Indian Rupee and [[Bangladeshi Taka]] on India-Bangladesh border. Data of barter trade is maintained by the Haat Management Committee of the respective border haat.
