She became paralysed from the waist down (mid thoracic injury). All of her colleagues involved in the crash recovered, except for Mary. Her injuries were managed by Dr. [[Paul Brand (physician)|Paul Brand]], who subsequently was her mentor and under whom she learnt surgical skills related to [[leprosy]] rehabilitation. Dr Paul Brand pointed out that she could sit in her wheelchair and operate on the hands of people with Hansen&#039;s Disease.&lt;br /&gt;
Following a course of rehabilitation at Australian Rehabilitation Center, Perth, Verghese secured a fellowship at the [[Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine|Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, New York]], under [[Howard A. Rusk|Dr. Howard A. Rusk]], a pioneer in the field.

== Rehabilitation Institute, CMC Vellore. ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Mary Varghese Institute of Rehabilitation is part of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of the [https://www.cmch-vellore.edu/ Christian Medical College Vellore]. &lt;br /&gt;
[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/madurai/Indias-first-rehabilitation-centre-for-disabled-turns-50/articleshow/55632680.cms The Rehabilitation Institute in Bagayam], Vellore continues to help people with disabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The institute treats people with spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain or head injury, amputations (lost limbs), children with cerebral palsy and many other less common problems. Dr Mary is constantly remembered as the pioneer she was - starting a service that is still going more than 50 years later. As a disabled member in her community with a lack of resources, Dr. Mary returned to India with the Rehabilitation Institute and began to receive patients. Dr. Mary contributed to The Rehabilitation Institute in Bagayam by starting a fund in order to raise money for the people that could not afford these services and disability treatments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On top of the inpatient and outpatient clinical departments, The Rehabilitation Institute has special clinics on different days of the week. With a variety of care, the Rehabilitation Institute in Bagayam continues ongoing research to have better prosthetics, cost effective equipment, incorporate [[virtual reality]], and advance research in spinal cord regeneration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The institute was inaugurated by the then Union Health Minister Dr. [[Sushila Nayyar]], on 26 November 1966.&lt;br /&gt;

{{plot|date=January 2025}} &amp;lt;!--per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words--&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
The story begins at a boathouse in [[Goa]]. Sathya kills his wife Shruthi, and the Goan police later arrests him. In the court, all the witnesses and evidence are against Sathya, but the court sends him to judicial remand  for fourteen days and asks the police to submit primary evidence. The Hyderabad commissioner appoints [[Assistant Commissioner of Police|ACP]] Prakash Varma, an encounter specialist, to deal the case. Prakash is very strict and ruthless in his department, and everyone calls him a psycho. He joins the investigation with his new subordinate Hyder and starts the investigation. First, the duo meets Shruthi&#039;s friend Gouthami, a house surgeon and her colleague, who narrates their encounters earlier. Shruthi and Gouthami met Sathya at a 10K run. After some comical circumstances, Shruthi and Sathya fall in love, but Gouthami suspects Sathya and confronts him for his weird behavior. Then, he admits that he wooed Shruthi to get her property. Enraged, Gouthami informs this to her father Jagannath (Jagannathan in Tamil). After having a private talk, to her shock, he accepts their relationship, and Shruthi and Sathya later get married. After knowing the facts, Shruthi avoided Gowthami. Now Gouthami requests the police to encounter Sathya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After hearing the facts, Prakash later meets Sathya&#039;s best friend Srinu (Srinivasan in Tamil). There, he admits that being a topper in MBA and an Andhra Pradesh team state captain in [[kabaddi]], he starts to act weird after his arrest. Srinu reveals that in a state-level kabaddi match, Sathya accidentally kills Peter D&#039;Souza, the captain of the Goa Kabaddi team, and gets arrested by the police. In the investigation, it was ascertained that Peter is an asthma patient, did not reveal his health record, and played the game regardless. That was the main cause of his death, which proved Sathya innocent, and released him. Soon, Srinu got a job in Dubai. Then Sathya, who is in a middle-class status like him, supports financially by explaining everything to him whenever it is necessary and sends him off to Dubai. Later, Srinu tried to reach Sathya several times but no avail. After hearing this news, he came to Goa to meet him. Prakash records all the statements and confirms that they are true. Then, he discovers that Sathya had been transferred to Goa jail for special investigation.  There, Sathya receives the deadliest welcome by corrupt jailor Albert D&#039;Souza, who is the elder brother of  Peter and swears vengeance on him. Then, he becomes friends with the other inmates and &amp;quot;Selfie&amp;quot; Kishore (Krishna in Tamil), a sub-jailor who has a soft corner on the innocent convicts. Albert tries to kill Sathya to avenge his brother&#039;s death, so he forces him to play kabaddi with his prescribed team by bashing his inmates. Then, Sathya accepts and forms a team by giving confidence to his inmates. Finally in the match, Sathya wins the game.  Meanwhile, Prakash starts the investigation. In the murder place, he founds a severed hand wearing Shruthi&#039;s engagement ring. Then, a forensic report reveals that it was not Shruthi&#039;s hand but Sathya&#039;s fingerprints found on that hand. Then, in the interrogation room Sathya reveals that the hand was from a woman named Catherine, who was Shruthi&#039;s lookalike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the story shifts to before Peter&#039;s death in Goa. Srinu and Satya came to Goa to perform in their Kabaddi match finals there the duo meets Catherine and her friend Sony in their first meeting Satya saves Catherine from an accident in Goa Beach from there on they both fall in love but Peter who happened to meet before Satya attracted towards Catherine feels jealous and tries to bash him then Catherine stops the fight then both challenges each other to win the match Catherine is for them.Later in the match Satya accidentally kills Peter for defending himself as a non-striker after Catherine observing the events Catherine misunderstands him that he wantedly killed and leaves him later he didn&#039;t met her. After hearing his confession Prakash doubts that Satya didn&#039;t killed anyone but Satya admits that he killed and challenges Prakash to prove him on the time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;War of the League of the Indies&#039;&#039;&#039; was a military conflict lasting from December 1570 to 1575, wherein a pan-Asian alliance attempted to overturn the Portuguese presence in the [[Indian Ocean]]. The pan-Asian alliance was formed primarily by the [[Sultanate of Bijapur]], the [[Sultanate of Ahmadnagar]], the [[Zamorin of Calicut|Kingdom of Calicut]], and the [[Sultanate of Aceh]]. It is referred to by the Portuguese historian António Pinto Pereira as &amp;quot;the League of Kings of India&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;the Confederated Kings&amp;quot;, or simply &amp;quot;the League&amp;quot;. The alliance undertook a combined assault against some of the primary possessions of the [[Portuguese India|Portuguese State of India]]: [[Portuguese Malacca|Malacca]], [[Chaul]], the Chale fort, and the capital of the maritime empire in Asia, [[Goa]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a [[total war]], as the Portuguese were forced to mobilize every available means to resist the assault.{{sfn|Feio|2013|p=135}} The Portuguese successfully overcame nearly all of the sieges imposed by the &amp;quot;League&amp;quot;, with the exception of a small fort on the outskirts of Calicut, which fell to the Zamorin, the ruler of Calicut. Although strategically insignificant, this was the first time that a Portuguese-held stronghold formally capitulated in India. &lt;br /&gt;
{{Portuguese colonial campaigns}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ottoman Empire==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Ottoman expedition to Aceh}}At the beginning of 1564, the [[Sunni]] Muslim Sultan of Ahmadnagar dispatched ambassadors to the [[Ottoman Empire]] with rich presents and a large tribute, hoping to gain Ottoman naval support against a strong Portuguese presence at sea. The Ottomans had gained access to the Red Sea following the [[Ottoman-Mamluk War (1516-17)|annexation of Egypt]] in 1517, and [[Sultan Selim II]] agreed to join the effort against Portuguese possessions in India.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1571, 25 galleys and three galleons set out from Suez but were held back by revolts in [[Jeddah]] and [[Yemen Eyalet|Yemen]]. Combined with Ottoman campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean, such as the [[Fourth Ottoman-Venetian War]], this ensured that the Ottoman Empire would not play a significant role in the conflict. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Portuguese preparations==&lt;br /&gt;
Reports and rumors of the preparations of the Adil Shah and the Nizam began reaching Goa through Portuguese merchants and collaborators by 1569. The Portuguese Viceroy, Dom [[Luís de Ataíde, 3rd Count of Atouguia|Luís de Ataíde]], eventually dispatched a fleet of five [[galleon]]s, one [[galley]], and seven half-galleys carrying 800 men, commanded by Dom Luís de Melo da Silva, to Malacca on August 24, 1570 in an attempt to reinforce the city against a possible attack from the Sultanate of Aceh. Another fleet of three galleys and seventeen half-galleys carrying 500 men, commanded by Dom Diogo de Meneses, was sent to patrol the [[Malabar coast|Malabar Coast]] to keep the vital trade routes with southern India, where the Portuguese city of Cochin was located, open and free of raiding from pirates.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|pp=354-355}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Siege of Goa==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Siege of Goa (1570–1571)}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AMH-6577-KB Bird&#039;s eye view of the city of Goa.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Portuguese Goa, ca. 1590. The heaviest fighting took place around Benastarim, southeast of the city (top left)]]&lt;br /&gt;
By December 28, 1570, General Nuri Khan had arrived with the vanguard of the army from Bijapur. Adil Shah&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Cruz |first=Maria Augusta Lima |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CJRPAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=diogo+do+couto+da+asia+oitava |title=Diogo do Couto e a década 8a da Asia |date=1992 |publisher=Comissão Nacional para as Comemorações dos Descobrimentos Portugueses |isbn=978-972-27-0532-5 |language=pt-BR}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; arrived eight days later with the bulk of his forces. He established a camp around his red tent to the east of the island of Goa, with the infantry distributed ahead of Banastarim and the artillery in position to exchange fire with the Portuguese batteries. The artillery of Bijapur began fire on the fort, which was constantly repaired throughout the night when the cannons ceased fire. Throughout the Portuguese lines by the riverbanks, the Viceroy ordered torches and bonfires to be lit on isolated positions by night to give the impression of readiness and encourage the enemy to waste ammunition by firing on them.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Portuguese Fortress of Mangalore.jpg|thumb|right|Portuguese fort of [[Mangalore]]. The town was protected by a stockade and entrenchments.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Siege of Chaul==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cheul.jpg|thumb|right|19th century British map of [[Chaul]]. The forces of Ahmadnagar were unable to prevent the Portuguese from reinforcing the city by sea.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dom João de Castro - Roteiro de Goa a Diu - Dabul.jpg|thumb|Portuguese bastard galley in [[Dabul]] harbour. Galleys were especially suited for naval and amphibious operations along the Indian coast and rivers.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Portuguese warships were distributed in the river to the East, so as to deny the enemy an avenue of approach to the city along the river banks with their artillery.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=274}} This way, the only possible way to approach the city would be through a swampy, narrow section to the north, forcing the enemy to bottleneck their forces and become bogged down in the mud.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=282}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Portuguese numbered 900 soldiers, but each was fully equipped with plate armour and matchlocks. They outnumbered the 300 arquebusiers on the opposing side,{{sfn|Goertz|1985}} but because both cavalry and elephants were rendered useless in a siege by the marshlands and trenches, the infantry would have to bear the brunt of the Portuguese assault.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=282}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February, a small fleet of 5 half-galleys and 25 smaller crafts carrying 2,000 men from [[Kozhikode|Calicut]], commanded by &#039;&#039;Catiproca Marcá&#039;&#039;, arrived in Chaul to meet up with the forces of the Nizam, under cover of night. The Portuguese had five galleys and eleven foists in the harbour, but the Malabares avoided clashing with the Portuguese galleys.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|pp=344–346}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, a Portuguese captain Agostinho Nunes introduced for the first time to an innovation that the Portuguese historian António Pinto Pereira considered to have been critical in withstanding the enemy bombardment: he ordered his soldiers to dig a special trench with a firing [[parapet]], protected by sloped earth—a &amp;quot;fire trench&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=282}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet the disparity in numbers was still immense, and despite frequent [[Sortie|sorties]], little by little, the Portuguese were forced to concede ground to the great mass of enemies. Retreating from several defensive lines, in May they were cornered in their last line of defense.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=280}} For the following thirty days, the Portuguese desperately defended their lines against several waves of attackers, discharging volleys of matchlock fire and hurling gunpowder grenades constantly. Portuguese casualties amounted to over 400, Hindu auxiliaries and civilians notwithstanding.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=280}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The forces of the Nizam, however, failed to overcome the Portuguese in time. They had successfully held out through the [[Wet season|monsoon season]], until the weather finally allowed vessels to flow freely into the city, bearing fresh reinforcements nearly every day. On June 29, the Nizam ordered a general assault on the city. The Portuguese repelled the attack and pushed his army back to their camp in a complete [[rout]], capturing cannon, weapons, and destroying the saps and siegeworks along the way. They had slain over 3,000 of the besiegers at the end of six hours of fighting. After this setback, on July 24 Murtaza Nizam Shah requested peace and withdrew his army.{{sfn|Goertz|1985|p=280}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Siege of Chale, July–November 1571==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chale.png|thumb|right|Chale fort, in &#039;&#039;Lendas da Índia&#039;&#039; ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the weather, the Portuguese managed to send reinforcements and a small amount of supplies through to the fortress when news of the attack reached Goa. The Zamorin placed an artillery battery on the mouth of the river that effectively blockaded Portuguese shallow draft vessels from passing through. The captain of the fortress, 80-year-old Dom Jorge de Castro, influenced by the [[Kingdom of Tanur|King of Tanur]], a local ally of the Portuguese, decided to surrender the fortress on November 4, 1571, in what became the first formal capitulation of territory by the Portuguese. The Zamorin immediately demolished the fort and sent Dom Jorge back to Goa.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|pp=361-362}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the withdrawal of the forces of Adil Khan from Goa, the Portuguese then passed on the offensive against the Zamorin, blockading Calicut and devastating the kingdom, until he was also forced to sue for peace.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=362}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sieges of Malacca==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Battle of Aceh (1569)}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Portuguese Malacca map.png|thumb|right|Portuguese Malacca and its surroundings in 1604]]&lt;br /&gt;
The reinforcements sent from Goa in August 1570, under the command of Dom Luís de Melo da Silva, proved critical in preventing Malacca from being besieged at the same time as Goa and Chaul. In November 1570, the Portuguese destroyed an Aceh fleet of 100 ships by the mouth of River Formoso to the south of Malacca, killing the prince-heir of Aceh, and thus forcing the Sultan to postpone the attack to a later date. Dom Luís de Melo then returned to India with his forces the following January, to assist in the defence of Goa.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|pp=327-330}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Siege of Malacca, October–November 1573===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, by October 1573 Malacca was scarcely defended as most soldiers were embarked in commercial missions, and the Sultan of Aceh had gathered 7,000 men and a fleet of 25 galleys, 34 half-galleys, and 30 craft and requested assistance from the [[Ratu Kalinyamat|Queen of Kalinyamat]] (&#039;&#039;Japará&#039;&#039; in Portuguese) to besiege it.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=386}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 13, without waiting for its ally, the Aceh force landed south of Malacca and dealt severe casualties to the Portuguese who attempted a sortie. Thereafter they began attacking the fortress with incendiary projectiles, causing several fires but a sudden storm put out the fires and scattered the fleet, and the assault was called off. The Aceh commander then decided to establish a naval base by the [[Muar River]] and force the city to surrender through a naval blockade instead, capturing any passing tradeships that carried supplies to the city. An attempt to board a galleon and two carracks anchored by the Island of Naus (modern-day Pulau Melaka) was met with heavy resistance and suffered severe casualties from Portuguese gunfire.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=386}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 2, a [[carrack]] commanded by Tristão Vaz da Veiga arrived with the newly appointed captain of Malacca, Dom Francisco Rodrigues, along with important reinforcements. The captain immediately summoned a council to assess the situation. The Aceh fleet was causing severe shortages in Malacca, and it was decided that it was urgent to organize a force to repel it as soon as possible. Thus, a carrack, a galleon, and eight half-galleys were munitioned and set out on November 16 to the mouth of the River Formoso, where the enemy fleet had shifted to. With the river in sight, the Aceh fleet set out while the wind was in their favour to meet the Portuguese. Despite being outnumbered the Portuguese oar ships positioned themselves ahead of the carrack and the galleon to board the Acehnese galleys in the vanguard. The crews of the oar ships fired volleys of shrapnel and matchlock fire and threw gunpowder grenades, while the carrack and the galleon fired their heavy caliber artillery, sinking many Acehnese oar ships. Despite having Turkish gunners and cannon, the Acehnese artillery was not overly effective.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=390}} Once their flagship, a very large galley with over 200 fighting men, was boarded and its flag taken down by the Portuguese, the remainder of the Aceh fleet scattered, having lost four galleys and five half-galleys, with several more sunk or beached due to the bad weather. The Portuguese suffered ten dead.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=390}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Siege of Malacca, October–December 1574===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Siege of Malacca - 1568.jpg|thumb|right|Malacca under siege, 1568]]&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the Aceh defeat, the Queen of [[Kalinyamat Sultanate|Kalinyamat]] organized an armada with which to attack Malacca, composed of over 70 to 80 [[junk (ship)|junks]] and over 200 craft carrying 15,000 men under the command of Kyai Demang—transliterated as &#039;&#039;Queahidamão&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Quilidamão&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Quaidamand&#039;&#039; by the Portuguese&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hayati, Chusnul (2010). &#039;&#039;Ratu Kalinyamat: Ratu Jepara Yang Pemberani&#039;&#039;.

&lt;br /&gt;
By October 5, 1574, the armada anchored within the nearby River of Malaios and began landing troops, but the besiegers suffered Portuguese raids that caused great damage to the army when assembling stockades around the city.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=394}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, Tristão Vaz da Veiga ordered Fernão Peres de Andrade to blockade the river mouth with a small carrack and a few oarships, trapping the enemy army within it and forcing the Javanese commander to come to terms with the Portuguese. Not coming to any agreement, in December Tristão Vaz finally ordered his forces to withdraw from the river mouth. The Javanese hastily embarked in the few ships they had left, overloading them, and sailed out of the river, only to be then preyed upon by Portuguese ships, who chased them down with their artillery. The Javanese lost almost all of their junks and suffered about 7,000 dead at the end of the three-month campaign.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|pp=395-397}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Final siege of Malacca, February 1575===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Saint Francis Xavier Inspiring Portuguese Troops.png|thumb|right|Portuguese troops in Malacca fighting the Acehnese, painting by André Reinoso.]]In the final day of January 1575, a new Acehnese armada composed of 113 vessels, which included 40 galleys, once more laid siege to Malacca. The captain of Malacca Tristão Vaz da Veiga had received reports of the imminent threat. In response, he had dispatched the merchants away from Malacca on their vessels (to prevent their collusion with the Acehnese), merchant ships to fetch supplies in [[Bengal]] and [[Pegu]], and urgent messages to the Viceroy in Goa requesting reinforcements, knowing these would not be forthcoming at least until May because of the monsoon season, if they came at all.{{Fcn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the naval supply lines of the city open, he stationed 120 Portuguese soldiers on a galley, a caravel, and a carrack.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=406}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third siege of Malacca was brief: only seventeen days after landing, the Acehnese lifted the siege and sailed back to Sumatra. The Portuguese claimed the Acehnese commander hesitated in ordering a general assault, though it is just as possible the Acehnese retreated due to internal problems.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=408}} In June, Dom Miguel de Castro arrived from Goa with a fleet of a [[galleass]], three galleys, and eight half-galleys to relieve Tristão Vaz as captain of Malacca, along with 500 soldiers in reinforcements.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=408}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Manuel Fernandes - Livro de Traças de Carpintaria - 500 tonne galleon.jpg|thumb|right|Portuguese galleon]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|By the passion of Our Lord, fear not for your fortresses built in our fashion in these parts, with moats, towers and artillery, well supplied and garrisoned, though you might be told there that they are under siege; if there is no betrayal, God willing, there is no reason to fear that the moors may contest your fortresses and anything you ought to lay hands upon; it should come as no surprise that kings and lords would besiege those you take from them, once and twice and ten times; but they won&#039;t take any fortress from the Portuguese wearing their helmets among the battlements.{{cn|date=February 2024}}|Letter of Afonso de Albuquerque to King Manuel I, 1512}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Besides proving the difficulty of coordinating an attack on such scale, the combined assault of some of the most powerful kingdoms in Asia on Portuguese possessions failed to achieve any significant objectives. Neither did it decisively overturn Portuguese influence in the Indian Ocean. On the contrary, the rulers of Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, and the Zamorin were forced to come to terms that were favourable to the Portuguese: among other terms, they would charge no fees from Christian merchants, harbour no enemy fleets of the Portuguese, and resume paying tribute to Goa, in exchange for Portuguese assistance in clearing the western Indian coast of piracy and authorization to trade in Portuguese ports (provided every ship carried an appropriate trading license, or &#039;&#039;[[cartaz]]&#039;&#039;), essentially recognizing Portuguese dominion of the sea.{{Fcn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fort of Chale had little strategic interest, and its loss did not represent a serious setback for the Portuguese.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=339}} The fall of Vijayanagara however, had indirectly greater strategic implications for the Portuguese State of India, whose finances suffered a severe blow with the loss of the extremely lucrative horse trade with the Empire.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=371}} It would take the assistance of other European powers to challenge the hegemony of the Portuguese, who would suffer their first serious setback with the [[Capture of Ormuz (1622)|fall of Hormuz]], at the hands of combined Anglo-Persian force, about forty years later in 1622.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dom Luís de Ataíde was succeeded in office by [[António de Noronha|Dom António de Noronha]] in September 1571. On his arrival in Portugal in July 1572, Ataíde was solemnly received by [[King Sebastian]], and awarded several honours including the command of the [[Battle of Alcácer Quibir|planned expedition to Morocco]]—which he turned down, for disagreeing with the nature of the undertaking. In 1578, he was reappointed Viceroy of India, and would in fact be the last Viceroy nominated by the Portuguese Crown before the [[Iberian Union]]. He died in office in 1581.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Situation in the Moluccas, 1570–1575===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Ternatean–Portuguese conflicts}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Blaeu - Moluccae Insulae Celeberrimae.jpg|thumb|right|Moluccas Islands, Dutch engraving]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the Moluccas, the great distances made it extremely difficult, if not completely impossible, for the Portuguese Crown to direct a consistent policy in such a remote region, meaning it was often reduced to the initiative of individual captains assigned to the archipelago.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late 1570, the captain of Ternate, Diogo Lopes de Mesquita had [[Sultanate of Ternate|Sultan Khairun of Ternate]] assassinated, as the latter had been persecuting native Christians for some time. This proved untimely, as it provoked a major rebellion led by the late Sultan&#039;s son [[Sultan Babullah of Ternate|Baabullah]] (&#039;&#039;Babu&#039;&#039; in Portuguese), who allied with the [[Sultanate of Tidore|Sultan of Tidore]] with support of the Javanese against the Portuguese.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=337}} Although seemingly unrelated to the &amp;quot;league&amp;quot;, the larger conflict in mainland Asia left the Portuguese incapable of sending sufficient reinforcements to the Moluccas in each sailing season, between the monsoons. In a prolonged conflict that extended to Portuguese positions in [[Gilolo]], [[Ambon Island|Ambon]], and [[Banda Islands|Banda]], the critically isolated Portuguese could count on little aid to defend not just themselves, but also the nascent communities of local Christians.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, in 1575, with dwindling supplies and no hope of reinforcement, the less than 100 remaining defenders of the fortress of Ternate surrendered, at the end of a five-year long siege, to Sultan Babu. The Sultan then occupied the fort as his royal palace. Probably fearing retaliation from the Portuguese, he nonetheless allowed a few (about 18 married men) to remain on the island to maintain trade which, given the circumstances, the next Portuguese captain, Lionel de Brito, accepted upon arriving, just three days after the surrender, and was allowed to trade as usual.{{sfn|Monteiro|2011|p=414}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 1576, the Portuguese began construction of a new fortress on [[Ambon Island|Ambon]], that henceforth became the center of Portuguese activity in the Moluccas. In 1578, as per request of its Sultan, the Portuguese built a new fort on Tidore, to which those still in Ternate relocated.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As per the New York Times, &#039;The New BJP&#039; showed how Modi and BJP&#039;s growth after 2014 resulted from an expansion of the party&#039;s traditional power base beyond Hindu nationalism to new voters - across caste, class and gender. Much of this was because of targeted and &amp;quot;direct digital welfare payments,&amp;quot; the wooing of previously marginalised caste groups and meshing of technology with politics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mujib Mashal, &#039;Modi’s Power Keeps Growing, and India Looks Sure to Give Him More,&#039; April 19, 2024, The New York Times, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/world/asia/modi-india-election.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;amp;referringSource=articleShare&amp;amp;login=google&amp;amp;auth=login-google&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A significant part of this growth was due to the creation of &amp;quot;a new kind of welfare state,&amp;quot; as [[the Wall Street Journal]] noted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tripti Lahiri and Vibhuti Agarwal, &#039;A Billion Indians Are About to Vote. Many Think They Already Know the Result,&#039; Wall Street Journal, April 20, 2024. https://www.wsj.com/world/india/a-billion-indians-are-about-to-vote-many-think-they-already-know-the-result-1eb7848e&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mehta&#039;s book shows how the party overtook the [[Chinese Communist Party]] as the world&#039;s largest political organisation by broadening its appeal beyond its erstwhile small base of city-based upper-caste voters through welfare programmes, the creation of a new class of &#039;labharthees&#039; (benefeciaries) and outreach to women.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mathew Wade, &#039;&#039;BJP v CCP: The rise of the world’s biggest political party&#039;&#039;, Sydney Morning Herald, October 16, 2022, https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/bjp-v-ccp-the-rise-of-the-world-s-biggest-political-party-20220916-p5bise.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The book ignited a major debate on Indian politics and caste - with new caste data in the book challenging and disproving caste data and research by the French scholar [[Christophe Jaffrelot]], the Belgian scholar Giles Verniers and Ashoka University&#039;s Trivedi Centre for Political Data.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Arun Anand,  &#039;Uttar Pradesh’s caste conundrum: Why political pundits are getting it wrong&#039;, First Post, 8 February 2022, See https://www.firstpost.com/politics/right-word-uttar-pradeshs-caste-conundrum-why-political-pundits-are-getting-it-wrong-10345591.html. For more on this debate, see the public debate on this that unfolded in the pages of The Hindustan Times and News18 by the concerned scholars.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Alau’d-din Ahmad Shah&#039;&#039;&#039; was the tenth sultan of the [[Bahmani Sultanate]]. He was considered a benevolent ruler, albeit weak in administration.{{Sfn|Sherwani|1946|p=223}}{{Sfn|Yazdani|1947|p=130}} His reign is marked by rebellions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rift between the Dakhanis, or old-comers, and Afaqis, or new-comers&amp;lt;ref group=&amp;quot;note&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Afaqis are referred to as new-comers rather than foreigners by Sherwani, as the Dakhnis were also of foreign origin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dakhni camp also included the [[Habesha peoples|Habashis]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; worsened during his reign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Alauddin was the eldest son of [[Ahmad Shah I Wali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his father&#039;s reign, Alauddin participated in military campaigns.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reign ==&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his coronation, he assumed the title of Alauddin Ahmad [[Shah]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vijayanagara campaign and the rebellion of Muhammad Khan ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first major military campaign during Alauddin&#039;s reign began against [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagara]], over the non-payment of tribute by [[Deva Raya II]]. Alauddin deputed his brother Muhammad Khan to demand tribute by force. This venture was successful and Deva Raya sent &amp;quot;eight lacs of huns, twenty elephants and two hundred girls adept in the arts of dance and song&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his return from Vijayanagara, Muhammad Khan launched a rebellion against the sultan on the premise that according to the will of Ahmad Shah, Alauddin and Muhammad were designated to rule the kingdom jointly. Muhammad Khan captured several forts including [[Raichur Fort|Raichur]], [[Mudgal]] and Solapur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He fled to the jungle and was pursued by Alauddin&#039;s soldiers, who had express orders not to harm the prince. Muhammad was pardoned and awarded the jagir of Rajachal.[[File:Daultabad_Fort.jpg|thumb|[[Chand Minar]] built to commemorate the victory at [[Daulatabad Fort|Daulatabad]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Khandesh campaign ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Second Vijayanagara campaign ===&lt;br /&gt;
Alauddin himself commanded the army at Mudgal. A peace treaty was signed and the arrears of tribute were paid in full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Chakan massacre ===&lt;br /&gt;
Mushir ul Mulk besieged the [[Khoja (Turkestan)|Afaqis]] in the [[Chakan fort|fort of Chakan]]. He informed the sultan that they had insulted the king. Alauddin ordered the execution of all of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They lured the Afaqis into the camp, and massacred practically all of them, including many [[Sayyid|Sayyids]].{{Sfn|Haig|1925|p=405}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The king removed Dakhnis from office, including Prime Minister Mian Minallah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[massacre]] further strained Dakhni-Afaqi relations.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rebellion of Jalal Khan ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1455, Jalal Khan, a brother-in-law of Alauddin and the jagirdar of Nalgonda, declared himself king. This was due to a rumour of Alauddin&#039;s death as he had been suffering from a wound on his shin.{{Sfn|Sherwani|1946|p=243-244}} Alauddin marched on Nalgonda, and Jalal&#039;s son Sikandar enlisted [[Mahmud Khalji]] to join their rebellion. In 1456, Mahmud invaded [[Berar Province|Berar]].{{Sfn|Haig|1925|p=409}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At [[Mahur, Maharashtra|Mahur]], Alauddin commanded a force of 180,000 men. He divided his army into three contingents. Faced with an army thrice the size of his own, [[Mahmud Khalji]] withdrew leaving behind a token force of 1000 men.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mahmud Gawan]] was put in charge of suppressing the revolt. Jalal was pardoned by the sultan and allowed to retain [[Nalgonda]].{{Sfn|Sherwani|1946|p=245}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Public works and social welfare ===&lt;br /&gt;
Alauddin is credited with building a large hospital at Bidar. He endowed several villages, the revenue from which would fund the hospital.{{Sfn|Sherwani|1946|p=227-228}}{{sfn|Haig|1925|p=407}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Death and succession ==&lt;br /&gt;
Alauddin died on 6 May 1458,&amp;lt;ref name=Dhir/&amp;gt; from the malignant wound on his shin. He was succeeded by his son, [[Humayun Shah]] Zalim Bahmani.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tomb_of_Ala-ud-din_Ahmad_Shah_among_the_Bahmani_tombs,_Bidar.jpg|thumb|The tomb of Ala-ud-din is embellished with encaustic tiles]]Alauddin was described as a benevolent ruler, but weak in administration.&lt;br /&gt;

The plant was constructed as a 120-MW gas turbine power plant with four units, each with a capacity of 30&amp;amp;nbsp;MW, the plant with all the four units was commissioned in February–March 1996. The power station was built at a cost of about {{INR}} 400 crores. The first two units were supplied by Overseas Economic Co-operative Fund, Japan, while the third and fourth units were from [[Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited|BHEL]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TANGEDCO_BBGasTurbineStation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The plant is run and maintained by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and is normally used during peak hours (06:00 to 09:00 hours and 18:00 to 21:00 hours).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu_FireAtBBPowerPlant&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Operations==&lt;br /&gt;
The units can be operated by various fuels, such as [[naphtha]] and [[natural gas]] (dual-fuel system), and the starting fuel used is [[high-speed diesel]] (HSD). However, due to non-availability of natural gas/LNG in Chennai, the units are operated on naphtha fuel. From 20 January 2010, the units are run also as synchronous condenser to supply reactive power to the grid for better voltage profile and system stability. The plant is operated in open cycle mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TANGEDCO_BBGasTurbineStation&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The cost of generation of power at the plant was {{INR}} 9.72 per unit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web &lt;br /&gt;

==Incidents==&lt;br /&gt;
On 6 March 2000, a fire broke out at around 21:00 hours at Unit IV of the power station, which was put out by more than 20 fire tenders and Metrowater tankers. Initially, smoke emanated from the reduction gear compartment used to reduce the speed of the machine. At the time of the event, three of the four units were functioning, generating 90&amp;amp;nbsp;MW of power. All the units were switched off as a precautionary measure until the fire was put out. There was neither any causality nor any loss of power generation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu_FireAtBBPowerPlant&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Shatranj Ke Khilari&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lit|The Chess Players}}) is a 1924 [[Hindi]] short-story written by [[Munshi Premchand]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Premchand|first=Munshi|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kSPvwQEACAAJ|title=Shatranj Ke Khiladi &amp;amp; Other Stories (शतरंज की खिलाड़ी औë|date=2021-03-15|publisher=Diamond Pocket Books|isbn=978-93-5165-495-7|language=hi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Premchand also made the [[Urdu]] version titled &amp;quot;Shatranj ki bazi&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
The story depicts decadent royalty of Central North India. It is set around the life of the last independently ruling [[Nawab]] (noble) [[Wajid Ali Shah]] and concludes with the British annexation of the Nawab&#039;s kingdom of [[Awadh]] in 1856. The two main characters are the aristocrats Mirza Sajjad Ali and Mir Raushan Ali who are deeply immersed into playing [[chess]]. Their desire for the game destroys the competency of the characters, and makes them irresponsible in their duties towards their families and society. They derive immense pleasure in developing chess strategies and ignore the real life invasion by the British. Their city [[Lucknow]] falls to British attackers as they are busy playing a game of chess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Film==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1977, [[Satyajit Ray]] made a film with the same name, based on this story, also titled &#039;&#039;[[Shatranj Ke Khilari]]&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Jindal|first=Suresh|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8zY7DwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;q=Shatranj+ke+Khiladi|title=My Adventures with Satyajit Ray: The Making of Shatranj Ke Khilari|date=2017-10-10|publisher=HarperCollins|isbn=978-93-5277-103-5|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which won the [[National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{IMDb title|id=0076696|qid=Q76582|title=Shatranj Ke Khilari}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Ice Hockey Association of India&#039;&#039;&#039; (IHAI) is the governing body responsible for overseeing [[ice hockey in India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.icehockeyindia.com/ihai.html |title=Ice Hockey Association of India |website=www.icehockeyindia.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091118202105/http://www.icehockeyindia.com/ihai.html |archive-date=2009-11-18}} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  It became a member of the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF) on April 27, 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to working with other sport organisations, such as the [[Indian Olympic Association]] and the [[Sports Authority of India]], the IHAI is governing all national sections and tournaments, mainly the [[Indian Ice Hockey Championship]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IHAI&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title = IHAI: Ice Hockey Association of India | publisher = Ice Hockey Association of India | url = http://icehockeyindia.com/ihai.html | access-date = 2009-06-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091118202105/http://www.icehockeyindia.com/ihai.html | archive-date = 2009-11-18 | url-status = dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In April 2015, the players started a crowdfunding campaign on &#039;&#039;BitGiving&#039;&#039; to take part in an international tournament. The hashtag #SupportIceHockey trended nationwide. In response to the campaign, the team also received its first corporate sponsorship deal with the [[Mahindra Group]]. The group&#039;s head [[Anand Mahindra]] tweeted that he had &amp;quot;decided to support these passionate athletes&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite tweet |number=585396005773840386 |user=anandmahindra |title=I’ve decided to support these passionate athletes. #SupportIceHockey |first=Anand |last=Mahindra |author-link=Anand Mahindra |date=7 April 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of the members of the Indian national team, coordinated by the IHAI, are recruited from clubs associated with military units and regiments.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | title = Teams | publisher = Ice Hockey Association of India | url = http://icehockeyindia.com/teams.html#main | access-date = 2009-06-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091118202141/http://www.icehockeyindia.com/teams.html#main | archive-date = 2009-11-18 | url-status = dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The IHAI has created programs to introduce the sport to a wider audience, for example through the Learn to Play program that has been implemented in [[Ladakh]], [[Kargil town|Kargil]], [[Delhi]], and [[Mumbai]]. As an alternative for players who do not have access to outdoor [[ice rink|ice rinks]], the association began holding programs in the [[in-line hockey]], building on existing in-line hockey being played in [[Gujarat]] and Mumbai.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | title = Learn to Play Programs | publisher = Ice Hockey Association of India | url = http://icehockeyindia.com/programs.html | access-date = 2009-06-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091118202135/http://www.icehockeyindia.com/programs.html | archive-date = 2009-11-18 | url-status = dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2015, the Ice Hockey Association of India sent the men&#039;s national team to [[Canada]] to play a game against the [[ECHL]]&#039;s [[Brampton Beast]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.bramptonbeast.com/news/index.html?article_id=455 |title=BRAMPTON BEAST TO PLAY HISTORIC GAME AGAINST NATIONAL ICE HOCKEY TEAM OF INDIA |publisher=Brampton Beast Website |access-date= 2015-10-04}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On the team&#039;s trip through Canada, the team led by [[Adam Sherlip]]  also played the [[CWHL]]&#039;s [[Calgary Inferno]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://thehockeywriters.com/indias-hockey-presence-continuing-to-grow/ |title=India&#039;s Hockey Presence Continuing to Grow |date=3 October 2015 |publisher=The Hockey Writers |access-date=2015-10-04}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2025, IHAI launched their first national ice hockey league &#039;&#039;&#039;India Ice Hockey League&#039;&#039;&#039;. It aims to develop homegrown talent and help the national team to enter into the World Championships system. The league is set to be held from December to March annually. The competition will feature men&#039;s, women&#039;s and under-18 categories.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.eurohockey.com/article/5986-india-set-to-launch-its-first-national-ice-hockey-league.html |title=India set to launch its first national ice hockey league |date=23 December 2025 |publisher=EuroHockey }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Critical reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
Coffee Ani Barach Kahi received Positive reviews from critics. A reviewer of &#039;&#039;[[Maharashtra Times]]&#039;&#039; gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and says &amp;quot;Prakash Kunte has given a good package in his first movie. Only the life of the story they chose is not very long. The length of the movie seems long in comparison. Sometimes it lingers. But this slowness is overshadowed by the freshness of the arrangement, the music&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=4 April 2015 |title= आजच्या पिढीच्या चवीची &#039;कॉफी&#039;! |url=https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/coffee/moviereview/46799280.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114010735/https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/coffee/moviereview/46799280.cms |archive-date=14 January 2023 |access-date=14 January 2023 |website= [[Maharashtra Times]] |language=Marathi &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie begins with Shankar ([[Sudeep]]), who runs an advertising agency, boarding a train to visit his native village to invite all of his friends to his wedding. The journey to his childhood days begins there. The happenings in the school, his tussle with his friends, and his first love with his classmate Kamala ([[Deepa Bhaskar|Deepu]]) are all pictured realistically. Shankar reaches the village and invites all including Kamala, who promises to come to the wedding, with her husband and three children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, he goes to Kerala where he had his college education. His major crush at that time was Lathika ([[Sridevika]]), a Malayali girl with whom he falls in love, but the affair proves to be short-lived as her parents marry her off to her cousin Madhavan. On reaching Kerala to invite her, Shankar is shattered to see his lover as a widow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, he is dejected at the failure of his love affair, and he comes across a trusted friend, Divya ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]), who instills confidence, unearths his hidden talents, and teaches him the lesson that one has to go ahead in life without looking back. However, she does not reveal the tragedy that occurred in her past. As time passes by, she reveals that her mother is a paralytic patient and that she now has to work for her  survival. While she and Shankar travel on a bus, she reveals that she was in love with someone and believed that he was a good man but got cheated. A poetic narration on the need for a good friend has been stressed upon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Towards the end, Shankar marries a girl of his parents&#039; choice, Rashmi (Rashmi Kulkarni). All three girls who had played a part in his life and many college friends attend the wedding. Shankar sets a very nice ending to the main story.&lt;br /&gt;

[..] Good camerawork and dialogues are other plus points apart from the performances of Sudeep, Srinivasamurthy and Meena. The only flaw, perhaps, is the lengthy narration. But somewhere Sudeep, like Cheran in his Autograph, is able to convince you that he is not alone and many among those who see the movie would have undergone similar experiences&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb192006/movies1625302006218.asp|title=My Autograph|website=Deccan Herald|access-date=8 April 2025|first=S.

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Chalaki Mogudu Chadastapu Pellam&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{translation|Charging husband, chaste wife}}) is a 1989 [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[comedy film]], produced by G. Nirmala under the Nirmala Arts banner and directed by [[Relangi Narasimha Rao]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://vidhaatha.com/news/18-december-on-wednesday-upcoming-movies-in-telugu-tv-channeles-are-104550&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It stars [[Rajendra Prasad (actor)|Rajendra Prasad]], [[Rajani (actress)|Rajani]] and music composed by [[J. V. Raghavulu]]. The film was a hit at the box office. This movie was remade in [[Kannada]] as &#039;&#039;[[Golmaal Radhakrishna|Golmal Radhakrishna]]&#039;&#039;   (1990) and was also remade in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] as &#039;&#039;[[Pondatti Pondattithan]]&#039;&#039; (1991).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film begins with the marriage of a beautiful duet, Giri &amp;amp; Sita. Being an orthodox woman, Sita harries her husband Giri with her rigid mores by the goad of her eccentric grandmother Akhilandeswari. Giri is an employee in a branch office of a chit-fund company owned by Krishna. He resides in [[Hyderabad]] and leads a delightful life with his loving wife, Radha. Once Giri is conscious of his arrival for inspection, when Sita spoils an extensive line for her idiocy, Giri rebukes. Startlingly, Krishna appreciates Giri&#039;s sincerity and transfers him to the head office, bestowing him with upgradation. Giri walks on, questing for a home rental, but in vain. Whereat, he met with a hooker Sandhya on a train journey. Both advance to a hotel when the guilt of betraying Sita haunts Giri and backs. Suddenly, a hardship knocks through the Police raid. To abscond, Giri proclaims Sandhya as his wife before Inspector Ramadasu, who calls Krishna for evidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consequently, it locks Giri since Krishna accommodates the two as his neighbors, and he quiets because of job security. Over the top, Sita &amp;amp; Akhilandeswari approach Giri, who throws him into a dichotomy. Now, he juggles between them, with various trials he undergoes to avoid suspicion. As a glimpse, Prasad, Krishna&#039;s brother-in-law &amp;amp; hand, is hounded by his wife Janaki with her terrific poems—additionally, Kannaiah, a laundryman, choruses if she kicks off.  Over the top, Kasipati, his adjoin &amp;amp; colleague, who is regretful for tiny things, hugs Janaki mistakenly. From there, he tortures Prasad for an apology. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Sandhya&#039;s avarice, sister Ranganayaki lands and the siblings threaten and try to loot Giri. Ranganayaki also lures Krishna when Radha is shady. Plus, Giri downlinks his doing for Krishna before Sita &amp;amp; Akhilandeswari and forges him as a tomcat. Fortuitously, Akhilandeswari meets Radha, who gives faux propaganda about Krishna, bearing Giri&#039;s words in mind when a rift arises and they split. Giri suddenly has to vacate the house with Sita by Akhilandeswari&#039;s fuss, and they check into a hotel room. Due to the adversity, Ramadasu reemerges therein and apprehends them. Being notified, Krishna steps to the Police Station when Giri divulges the totality. Hereupon, Sandhya &amp;amp; Ranganayaki sham as a courtesy and incriminate Giri. Ramadasu breaks the actuality, seizes the knaves, and acquits Giri with a warning. At last, he pleads pardon from Krishna and reunites him with Radha. Finally, the movie ends happily.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Game&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a 2011 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[action thriller film]] directed by [[Abhinay Deo]] and produced by [[Farhan Akhtar]] and [[Ritesh Sidhwani]] under [[Excel Entertainment]]. It stars [[Abhishek Bachchan]], [[Kangana Ranaut]], [[Gauahar Khan]], [[Jimmy Sheirgill]], [[Boman Irani]], [[Anupam Kher]], [[Shahana Goswami]], and [[Sarah-Jane Dias]]. The film was shot in [[Mumbai]], [[Samos Island]] in [[Greece]], [[Istanbul]], [[London]], and [[Bangkok]]. It was released on 1 April 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Long plot|date=October 2016}}&lt;br /&gt;
Kabir Malhotra ([[Anupam Kher]]) is a billionaire tycoon who invites four people to his island home in Greece by sending a different letter to each. The four people, who have never met before, are Neil Menon ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]), a casino owner in [[Turkey]] who has financial problems with mob bosses that Kabir offers to help with, Vikram Kapoor ([[Jimmy Sheirgill]]), an actor in [[India]], who suffers with drug, cancer, and career problems; Kabir writes to him that he wants to finance the biggest film ever made, and offers Vikram a role in it, Om Prakash &amp;quot;OP&amp;quot; Ramsay ([[Boman Irani]]), a political leader and prime ministerial candidate in [[Thailand]] whose campaign is under threat of scandal; Kabir offers to provide new funding to him, and Tisha Khanna ([[Shahana Goswami]]), a crime journalist in the [[United Kingdom]] who is looking for her big break; Kabir writes to her that he has a huge story and invites her to cover it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four guests arrive on the island, where they are greeted by Kabir&#039;s executive assistant, Samara Shroff ([[Gauahar Khan]]), who takes them into a dining room that is being secretly filmed. There, Kabir reveals that he has invited them because of their link to his daughter, Maya ([[Sarah-Jane Dias]]), whom Kabir has spent years trying to find. Maya was trafficked as a child by OP Ramsay, as an adult brought into the crime world by Neil Menon, and in the end, was injured in a car accident and buried alive by Vikram Kapoor. Kabir has gathered evidence against the three of them and invited the International Vigilance Squad (IVS) to the island to arrest them. Tisha Khanna, the only innocent one of the group, was invited because, previously unknown to her, she is Maya&#039;s fraternal twin sister and Kabir&#039;s only remaining biological child. Tisha rejects Kabir&#039;s attempts to forge a relationship with her, claiming that she doesn&#039;t want his fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to escape the island, the group awaits the arrival of the IVS. In the morning, they hear what sounds like a gunshot from Kabir&#039;s room. They find Kabir Malhotra dead in his study, seemingly having committed suicide with a gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The IVS, led by Sia Agnihotri ([[Kangana Ranaut]]), arrives on the island. She watches the video of the previous night&#039;s speech by Kabir, but as they are unable to find the evidence that Kabir claimed to have, they let the guests go. Although the case is officially declared a suicide, Sia is not convinced and puts all four guests under surveillance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through flashback, it is revealed that Neil was in love with Maya, who saved his life during a shootout at his casino, and that on the day of her death, she told Neil, in a voice mail, that she was expecting their child. In the present day, Neil evades Sia&#039;s surveillance and takes revenge on OP Ramsay and Vikram for what they did to Maya. Both are tricked into giving public confessions of their crimes. Vikram commits suicide, and OP Ramsay dies of a heart attack (his medication being stolen by Neil). Sia, who has been monitoring Vikram and OP Ramsay, knows that Neil is responsible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is revealed that Neil is also an officer of the IVS. His real name is Major Arjun Singhania, and he has been in deep cover for many years in the Turkish drug cartel. He, too, doesn&#039;t believe that Kabir committed suicide, and works together with Sia to find the true culprit. Neil noticed that Kabir was left-handed, yet the gun that killed him was in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tisha, as Kabir Malhotra&#039;s only child, is to inherit Kabir&#039;s fortune, but Neil and Sia receive news that Tisha attempted suicide. When Tisha wakes up, she tells them that it wasn&#039;t suicide, but someone attacked her in her house. Meanwhile, it is found that Kabir has a brother, Iqbal, who is next in line to inherit his fortune. Sia and Neil travel to the missionary where Iqbal lives, but they find him too ill to speak to them. A nurse tells them that Iqbal had a daughter who died, but Neil notices that there are letters sent to him dated after her supposed death, so she must still be alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neil and Sia travel back to the island, where they confront the late Kabir&#039;s personal assistant, Samara. It is revealed that Samara is actually Natasha, Iqbal&#039;s daughter and Kabir&#039;s biological niece, unknown to Kabir. Neil realised that there was foul play when, at the missionary, he saw a picture of Kabir and Iqbal when they were children, and they were identical twins, so the man in the missionary couldn&#039;t have been Kabir&#039;s brother. Iqbal reveals himself, explaining that he&#039;s been working with Natasha to get Kabir&#039;s fortune. Tisha was a surprise they hadn&#039;t anticipated. They used Kabir&#039;s three guilty guests to deflect suspicion from Samara, predicting that the police would suspect one of the guests as responsible for Kabir&#039;s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iqbal attempts to kill Neil and Sia, but Neil resists, which results in Iqbal being killed and Natasha being arrested.&lt;br /&gt;

==History and origin==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Muslim Nat are a semi-nomadic community, traditionally associated with rope dancing, juggling, fortune telling and begging.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Wayback Machine|url=https://tiss.ac.in/uploads/files/Working_Paper_5_Khursheed_Akbar.pdf|website=tiss.ac.in|access-date=2026-01-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250809202609/https://tiss.ac.in/uploads/files/Working_Paper_5_Khursheed_Akbar.pdf|archive-date=2025-08-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Nat of [[Bihar]] are said to have immigrated from the [[Middle East]] and Central Asia. They are found mainly in the Bihar state districts of [[Madhubani district|Madhubani]], [[Darbhanga]], [[Samastipur]] and [[Patna]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|title=Muslims by religion, Hindu by tradition, nomads in Buxar excite scholars|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/patna/muslims-by-religion-hindu-by-tradition-nomads-in-buxar-excite-scholars/story-JpGL0EPOn55h6d6JF4VRCK.html|work=hindustantimes.com|date=2019-03-01|access-date=2026-01-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301113925/https://www.hindustantimes.com/patna/muslims-by-religion-hindu-by-tradition-nomads-in-buxar-excite-scholars/story-JpGL0EPOn55h6d6JF4VRCK.html|archive-date=2019-03-01|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They speak [[Urdu]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Singh |first1=K.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Present circumstances ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Muslim Nat are now mainly cattle dealers,{{Clarify|reason=Where? in Bihar alone?|date=September 2025}} while a small number are involved in begging. They are one of the most marganalized [[Muslim]] community in [[Bihar]]. Almost all the Nat are landless. A small number of Nat have now settled down and are cultivators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Nat are strictly endogamous, and generally live in isolation from other [[Muslim]] communities in their neighbourhood. Although they are [[Sunni]] [[Muslim]]s, they incorporate many folk beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Uttar Pradesh]], the Nat are said to have come originally from [[Chittaur]] in [[Rajasthan]]. They are found mainly in the districts of [[Varanasi]], [[Allahabad]], [[Barabanki district|Barabanki]] and [[Jaunpur district|Jaunpur]]. The Nat speak [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi]] and converted to [[Islam]] during the rule of the [[Nawabs of Awadh]], about two hundred years ago. The Muslim Nat consist of number of sub-groups, the main ones being the Aman, Goleri, Mahawat, Rari, Siarmaroa and Turkata. Many Nat are still involved with fortune telling and live a semi-nomadic lifestyle. Most Nat are now landless agricultural labourers, and are in depressed economic circumstances. The Nat are [[Sunni]] [[Muslim]]s, but incorporate many folk beliefs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=K. S. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_Z2dwQEACAAJ |title=People of India: Volume XLII: Uttar Pradesh (in 3 Parts) |date=2005 |publisher=Anthropological Survey of India |isbn=978-81-7304-114-3 |pages=1053–6 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Haryana]], they are found mainly in the districts of [[Faridabad]], [[Gurgaon]] and [[Rohtak]]. They speak [[Haryanvi]], and understand [[Hindi]]. Little is known about the exact circumstances that there conversinon to [[Islam]]. Historically, the community in [[Haryana]] were rope dancers, jugglers and acrobats. The Nat consist of a number of exogamous clans, the main ones being the Dagariya, Sansebar, Baraike, Khoyareke, Paharike, Nangariye, Dhadhasiya, Palike, Jirmichya, Dangiya, Kotiya, Shirkarake, Dilwati, Occhluke, Rashidiya, and Badanke. The Nat are no longer involved in their traditional occupation, and are now largely landless agriculture workers, migrating to different places in search of employment. They are nominally [[Sunni]] [[Muslim]], but practice many folk beliefs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://opac.cug.ac.in:8000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=au:%22Sharma%2C%20M%20L%2C%22 People of India Haryana Volume XXIII]  edited by M.K Sharma and A.K Bhatia pages 380 to 385 Manohar&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sunity Academy&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[higher secondary]] girls&#039; school in [[Cooch Behar]], West Bengal, India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Her Highness Maharani Suniti Devi of Cooch Behar.jpg|thumb|Her Highness Maharani Sunity Devi, the Maharani of Cooch Behar]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The school was founded in 1881 as Sunity College by His Highness, the Maharaja of [[Cooch Behar State|Cooch Behar]]. It was named after Her Highness Maharani [[Suniti Devi]], who was the brain behind its establishment.&amp;lt;ref name=a&amp;gt;[http://coochbehar.nic.in/htmfiles/sunity/sunity_home.html SUNITY ACADEMY]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=z&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Women&#039;s crusader for 125 years – Cooch behar school salutes Suniti devi on foundation day |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060208/asp/siliguri/story_5818461.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140317151626/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060208/asp/siliguri/story_5818461.asp|url-status=dead|archive-date=17 March 2014|date=8 February 2006|work=The Telegraph|accessdate=27 June 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She was the daughter of [[Keshub Chandra Sen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The school was rechristened as Sunity Academy in 1916. In 1928, the Sunity Academy was affiliated to the [[University of Calcutta]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hundred years of the University of Calcutta: a history of the university issued in commemoration of the centenary celebrations, Volume 1, 1957. pp 138.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;West Bengal District Gazetteers: Cooch-Behar, 1977. pp 163, 180.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the school is now attached to [[University of North Bengal]] since its inception in 1962.&amp;lt;ref name=a/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1937, when the representative of the Governor General of the [[Eastern States Agency|Eastern States]] came to visit Sunity Academy, he was highly impressed with its management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003, the erstwhile president of India, [[APJ Abdul Kalam]] visited the school.&amp;lt;ref name=a/&amp;gt; In 2004, Her Highness [[Gayatri Devi]], the [[Rajmata]] of Jaipur and the Princess of Cooch Behar, paid a visit.&amp;lt;ref name=a/&amp;gt; In 2006, the school celebrated its 125th anniversary.&amp;lt;ref name=z/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharani Suniti Devi&#039;s second son Maharaja Jitendra Narayan Bhup Bahadur&#039;s three daughters Princesses Ila, Gayatri and Menaka (Princesses of Cooch Behar) appeared for their matriculation examination from Sunity Academy.&lt;br /&gt;

is a village and a [[grazing|grazing area]] in the [[Skakjung]] pastureland, which runs along the right bank of [[Indus River]] from China-administered Dumchele and Tsoskar Lake in south to India-administered [[Nyoma#Geography|Dungti]]-Loma in north,  near the [[Line of Actual Control]] between [[Ladakh]] and [[Tibet]]. Dumchele and the area around it have been under Chinese administration since 1962 but claimed by India. The locale is in the disputed [[Demchok sector]], about 50 kilometers northwest from [[Demchok, Ladakh|Demchok]] and 50 kilometers southeast of [[Chushul]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wahid&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;US India&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; It lies on a historic trade route between Ladakh and [[Rutog Town|Rutog]], with an erstwhile border pass at &#039;&#039;&#039;Chang La&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Shingong La&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-zh|t=新贡拉|p=Xīn gòng lā}}) to the southeast of Dumchele.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the west of the [[Chang La]] pass, flows the &#039;&#039;&#039;Kigunaru River&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-zh|t=基古纳鲁河|p=Jī gǔ nà lǔ hé}}) forming a rich grazing ground that is also called Kigunaru.{{efn|Alternative spellings include &#039;&#039;&#039;Keegunaru&#039;&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Demchok-sector-map.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Map-1: The disputed Demchok sector between China and India: the Chinese claim line on the west, the Indian claim line on the east and the [[Line of Actual Control]] in the middle.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dumchele is at present an ancient trading village for cross-border trade in Chinese-administered part of the northern [[Demchok sector]]. It is on the right bank of Indus River, north of [[Geography of Ladakh#Koyul Ridge|Koyul Ridge]] and Kigunaru River.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally, the region was a grazing area. The Indus valley here is about four miles wide, and sandy with a thin layer of grass.{{sfnp|Drew, Upper-Indus Basin|1873|p=462}} That, coupled with the fact that there is no snow here in winter, makes it a most important winter grazing area for the [[Changpa]] nomads.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvp|Drew, The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories|1875|p=315}}: &amp;quot;This is where the Champas [Changpas] of Rupshu spend the winter.... At Dora falls hardly any snow. This is why the place is chosen for winter quarters, the sheep and the cattle being thus able to graze on the extensive though thin pasture found on the flat.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Ladakhis call this area &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Skakjung]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;Kokzhung&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The present Dumchele village is on the bank of a mid-sized lake, which is apparently fed by a strand of the Kigunaru River (or Shingong Lungpa). The river flows down from the mountains of the Kailash Range, which forms the eastern watershed of the Indus Valley. The river passes by the Chang La pass, where it makes a 90 degree bend, and flows west through a gap in the Kailash Range into the Indus valley. Afterwards, it gets &amp;quot;divided by an island&amp;quot;,{{sfnp|Moorcroft &amp;amp; Trebeck, Travels in the Himalayan Provinces, Vol. 1|1841|p=441}} with a strand flowing straight, and another flowing north parallel to the Indus River. The north-flowing strand gathers into the Dumchele lake, which appears to be [[Endorheic lake|endorheic]]. The formation of the lake appears to be a recent phenomenon as it is not shown on any maps prior to 1960.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the west of Dumchele is an older, more natural lake called &#039;&#039;&#039;Tsoskur&#039;&#039;&#039;, also called &#039;&#039;&#039;Tsoskar Lake&#039;&#039;&#039; (see map-3). The [[Line of Actual Control]] between the Indian and Chinese-administered parts in this sector runs between the two lakes.&lt;br /&gt;

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Demchok-sector-north-US-Army-map-1954.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Map-2: The northern part of Demchok sector drawn by US Army Map Service, 1954]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Dumchele plain lies along an ancient trade route between [[Lahaul and Spiti district|Lahaul]] and [[Rudok]], which is known at least since the 17th century. The Ladakhis also used this route on occasion, even though their main route was via [[Chushul]] (called the &amp;quot;Junglam&amp;quot;).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Wahid&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{See also|Demchok sector}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[William Moorcroft (explorer)|Moorcroft]]&#039;s associate, [[George Trebeck]], visited the area in early 19th century, travelling south on the right bank of Indus. He stayed at a place called &#039;&#039;&#039;Chibra&#039;&#039;&#039; very near Dumchele.{{efn|The coordinates of Chibra given in the &#039;&#039;Gazetteer of Kashmir and Ladakh&#039;&#039;, {{coord|79|10|N|83|5|E}}, are virtually the same as those of Dumchele.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{citation |title=Gazetteer of Kashmir and Ladak |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.43256/page/n7 |publisher=Superintendent of Government Printing |location=Calcutta |year=1890 |page=268}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The name Chibra disappeared from the British literature after 1850s.}} The area was studded with small ponds and lakes, and a rivulet crossed the Indus bed (Kigunaru river, also called Xingong Lungpa), getting divided by an island.{{efn|The rivulet coming down from the Chang La pass is called &amp;quot;Xingong Lungpa&amp;quot; on Chinese maps. It is obtained by the merger of two further streams coming down from mountain heights. On the Indus bed, the rivulet divides, with a large strand flowing into a lake that has formed near Dumchele.}} He described the Indus river bed as consisting of loose sand, with a form of sand-grass called &#039;&#039;Long-ma&#039;&#039; growing on it. It provided winter grazing for the Ladakhis, apparently the only winter grazing available in the whole of [[Rupshu]].{{sfnp|Moorcroft &amp;amp; Trebeck, Travels in the Himalayan Provinces, Vol. 1|1841|p=440}} He also noticed a trading party belonging to the Kalon of Ladakh return from Rudok, carrying fifty-six sheep loads of shawl wool (&#039;&#039;[[pashm]]&#039;&#039;) and further loads of coarse wool.{{sfnp|Moorcroft &amp;amp; Trebeck, Travels in the Himalayan Provinces, Vol. 1|1841|p=444}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The border of Ladakh was described to Trebeck as running from &amp;quot;the angle of a hill about five miles to the east&amp;quot;  to the low pass of &#039;&#039;La Ganskiel&#039;&#039; (the &amp;quot;Lagankhel&amp;quot; of later maps).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{harvp|Moorcroft &amp;amp; Trebeck, Travels in the Himalayan Provinces, Vol. 1|1841|p=440}}: &amp;quot;... the boundary of Ladakh was pointed out to us as extending from the angle of a hill about five miles to the east, to the low pass of La Ganskiel on the road to Gardokh, about fourteen miles distant to the southward.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scholar Janet Rizvi confirms that traders often travelled with donkeys via Chang La to Rudok and returned with salt and wool. Ladakhi monks that went to Tibet for education and training also used the route, travelling with traders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |first=Sonam |last=Joldan |title=Relationship between Ladakh and Buddhist Tibet: Pilgrimage and trade |journal=The Tibet Journal |volume=31 |number=3 |date=Autumn 2006 |pages=44–45 |jstor=43300982}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1847, [[Henry Strachey (explorer)|Henry Strachey]] visited the left bank of  Indus, as part of a British boundary commission for Kashmir. In contrast to Trebeck&#039;s testimony, he found that Ladakh&#039;s territory stretched up to a [[Charding Nullah|rivulet]] flowing into the Indus next to the [[Demchok, Ladakh|Demchok]]. The Tibetan guards at Demchok did not allow him to proceed beyond this point.{{sfnp|Lamb, The China-India border|1964|p=68}}{{efn|Demchok extended to the southern side of the rivulet in Strachey&#039;s view, which was under the control of Tibet. The Chinese call this village [[Dêmqog, Ngari Prefecture|Dêmqog]], which is the Tibetan pinyin spelling of Demchok.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After conducting Kashmir Survey between 1855 and 1865, the British government published a &#039;&#039;Kashmir Atlas&#039;&#039;, with a defined border. This border ignored Strachey&#039;s findings and tried to represent Trebeck&#039;s information. It excluded Demchok on the left bank of Indus, leaving the border at Lagankhel, and excluded all the right bank up to the confluence of the Kigunaru river. In between Lagankhel and Kigunaru river, the border ran along the Indus river itself.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;See {{harvp|Lamb, The China-India border|1964|pp=72–73}} for a description.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (See the map by the US [[Army Map Service]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashmir&#039;s geologist [[Frederic Drew]] created a map in connection with his book, &#039;&#039;The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories&#039;&#039;, in 1875. His border, professedly based on the territories actually used by the Ladakhis and Tibetans for grazing, placed the Chang La (&amp;quot;Chang Pass&amp;quot;) and the entire basin of the Kigunaru River within Ladakh.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvp|Drew, The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories|1875|pp=316,&amp;amp;nbsp;496}}: &amp;quot;About north-north-east from Dora the northern mountain-ridge changes in point of composition from granite to a more or less altered shale; the line of it is more to the east than before, while in the line of its original direction are some more hills which are joined to the other ridge by a neck called on the Survey Map &amp;quot;Chang Pass&amp;quot;; this Pass is practically the boundary of Chinese Tibet in that direction; in the Indus Valley the boundary will be a day or two&#039;s march beyond Dora.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the various British efforts at border definition, the situation on the ground was essentially unchanged. The state of [[Kashmir]] was ruled by a native Maharaja who enjoyed considerable autonomy. The traditional borders appear to have continued until the time of India&#039;s independence in 1947.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |first=R. C.

=== 1962 war and aftermath ===&lt;br /&gt;
In October 1962, during the [[Sino-Indian War]], the Chinese occupied the Dumchele area, along with the entire right bank of the Indus to the south of Dumchele.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{harvp|Bhattacharji, Ladakh|2012|loc=Chapter 6}}: &amp;quot;In the Chinese bazaar of Dumchulle, in the territory occupied from India in 1962, [...]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Line of Actual Control resulting from the war runs between Dumchele and the smaller lake of Tsoskur to the west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During and following the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]], the Dumchele area saw some action mainly in the form of the Indian and Chinese governments exchanging notes blaming each other for intruding into &#039;&#039;their&#039;&#039; territory.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Type of Indian dhow (sailboat)}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Boutre indien.jpg|thumb|A Patamar]]&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Patamar&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]), ({{langx|en|Pattamar, Patimar}}, {{langx|fr|Patemar, Patmar}}),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado, &#039;&#039;Portuguese Vocables in Asiatic Languages&#039;&#039;, AES (Reprint Lisbon 1913 edn.) 1988, {{ISBN|812060413X}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is a type of [[India|Indian]] [[Dhow]]. It was traditionally used in the western coast of the [[Indian subcontinent]] as a [[cabotage]] vessel between [[Gujarat]] and [[Ceylon]], usually for the transport of [[rice]]. Some can still be seen on the [[Malabar Coast]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
Patamar are commonly between 200 and 300 tons in weight and are rigged with one to three masts bearing [[lateen sail]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
They feature a peculiarly-shaped keel with a club-shaped end of the bow.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.ebook.de/de/product/19830512/henry_coleman_folkard_the_sailing_boat.html;jsessionid=261F3FE84565C4CE5225DF1F548290A2.www04|title=Henry Coleman Folkard: The Sailing Boat (Buch) - portofrei bei eBook.de|website=www.ebook.de|language=de-DE|access-date=2018-03-19}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The wide stern of the average Patamar is somewhat similar to the [[Baghlah]], [[Sambuk]] and [[ghanjah|Kotiya]] but without a [[poop deck]], which is replaced by a [[bamboo]] [[deck house]] thatched with [[coconut palm]] leaf.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.sevenoceans.com/Ships/ShipsByType/Pattamar.htm|title=Pattamar|website=www.sevenoceans.com|access-date=2018-03-19}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:KGVI rupees 10 note cdd front reverse.jpg|thumb|Pattamar on a 10 Indian rupee note]]&lt;br /&gt;
A pattamar in full sail appeared on the reverse of the 10 [[Indian rupee]] banknotes that preceded the [[Mahatma Gandhi Series (banknotes)|Mahatma Gandhi Series]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1806, &#039;&#039;[[Lieutenant de vaisseau]]&#039;&#039; [[Pierre Bouvet]] observed the indigenous ships of the Patamar type while a prisoner in Bombay. Back in [[Isle de France (Mauritius)|Isle de France]] (now [[Mauritius]]), Bouvet suggested the use of armed Patamars to General [[Charles Mathieu Isidore Decaen|Decaen]], Governor General of the French possessions in the [[East Indies]], to conduct reconnaissance and raids on the British.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |first=Jean-Michel |last=Roche |year=2005 |title=Dictionnaire des bâtiments de la flotte de guerre française de Colbert à nos jours, 1671 - 1870 |isbn=978-2-9525917-0-6 |oclc=165892922 |pages=249|publisher=Group Retozel-Maury Millau}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was able to have  {{ship|French patamar|Entreprenant|1807|2}} built in 1807 and sailed her on a [[privateering]] cruise.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;The Unified Pension Scheme (UPS)&#039;&#039;&#039;, introduced by the [[Government of India]] in 2024 as an optional pension scheme along with the [[National Pension System]] (NPS) for the government employees, it aims to provide a comprehensive and centralised pension system for Central government employees. The scheme is designed to consolidate various existing pension schemes, offering a more equitable and efficient approach to retirement benefits.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Unified Pension Scheme Explained In 6 Simple Points |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/what-is-unified-pension-scheme-that-will-impact-23-lakh-government-workers-6412270 |access-date=2024-08-25 |website=NDTV.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Jigeesh |first=Vikas Dhoot, Jagriti Chandra &amp;amp; A.
