==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The beautiful Sanjana is a divorcee who moves to a hillside house, as she cannot afford a house in the city. To earn her living, she runs her stepfather&#039;s antique shop. However, it is not long before strange occurrences begin near and in her home. One day, a [[Tibetan people|Tibetan]] old lady gives her an antique [[locket]] at her antique shop and leaves. Sanjana sells it to a tourist couple for [[Indian 500-rupee note|500 rupees]]. Sanjana finds the lady on the way to her home to return the money, but she discovers that the lady was dead. The locket is returned to Sanjana by the tourist as the Tibetan lady keeps haunting the couple to make them return it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Sanjana is tortured and physically raped multiple times by an invisible demon, first in her room, then in the shower, and then in front of her own kids. Her dog becomes possessed soon after and attacks her and Vicky, her younger brother. Sanjana consults a psychiatrist who doesn&#039;t believe her, despite telling him multiple times. Soon, the invisible demon has sex with Sanjana, for which she gets an orgasm but soon regrets having sex with an invisible being. After a while, the demon takes away her younger daughter from Sanjana. She calls her psychiatric friend, and he brings a [[parapsychologist]]. Sanjana comes to learn that the demon comes from an old well, where the tribals used to push down and kill criminals as punishment. Due to lightning striking the well, one soul who was a rapist was thrown in the well and killed; he has now escaped, and he fell for Sanjana. The parapsychologist opens the well from which all the evil spirits come out and attacks him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sanjana jumps into the well to bring back her daughter. There all the spirits get combined into a huge demon. Sanjana throws the Tibetan locket to hit the demon, which then dissolves. The soul of Sanjana&#039;s father comes as an angel and returns her younger daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sanjana prepares to leave her house, and suddenly the door closes. A demonic voice calls her, and she opens the door but finds nothing. Before leaving, her younger daughter suddenly runs to the house, and the door closes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi&#039;&#039;&#039;{{Efn|{{langx|ur|احمد رضا خان بریلوی قادری|Aḥmed Raẓā Khān Barelvī}}}} (14 June 1856 – 28 October 1921) was an Indian Islamic scholar who is considered as one of the founders of the [[Barelvi movement]]. His students include [[Amjad Ali Aazmi]], [[Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqi|Abdul Aleem Siddiqi]], [[Ziauddin Madani]] and several others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in [[Bareilly]], [[British India]] into the [[Qadiriyya|Qadiri order]], Khan studied under his father [[Naqi Ali Khan]]. He was authorized in [[Sufism]] by [[Shah Al-i Rasul]] and founded the [[Manzar-i Islam]] in Bareilly in 1904. He was a staunch critic of the [[Ahmadiyya]], [[Deobandi movement|Deobandi]] and [[Wahhabi movement|Wahhabi]] movements, denouncing their beliefs in his book {{Transliteration|ur|[[Husam ul-Haramayn]]}} (1906). His poetic work, {{Transliteration|ur|[[Hada&#039;iq-i Bakhshish]]}} (1907), and [[Quran translations|translation]] of the [[Quran]] into [[Urdu]], {{Transliteration|ur|[[Kanz ul-Iman]]}} (1911), are among his well-known works. Khan&#039;s magnum opus {{Transliteration|ur|[[Fatawa-i Razawiyya]]}} is a compendium of {{Transliteration|ar|[[fatawa]]}} (legal edicts) of the [[Hanafi school]] of [[Sunni Islam]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1920, Khan initiated the [[Jama&#039;at Raza-e-Mustafa|Jama&#039;at Raza-i Mustafa]] aiming to propagate [[Islam]] via [[dawah]]. After his death, his eldest son [[Hamid Raza Khan|Hamid]] succeeded him as organization&#039;s president. while his other son [[Mustafa Raza Khan Qadri|Mustafa]] published his father&#039;s questions and answers during his lifetime as {{Transliteration|ur|[[Malfuzat-i A&#039;la Hazrat]]}}. Khan is often viewed as the {{Transliteration|ar|[[mujadid]]}} (reformer) of his time by Barelvis. His shrine lies at the [[Bareilly Dargah]] and frequently visited by Barelvis during his annual [[urs]] (death anniversary) in the Islamic month of [[Safar]]. He influenced millions of people, and today the Barelvi movement has more than 200 million followers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Allamah Shaikh Saleh Kamal an Alim of Makkatul Mukarrama, he presented five questions to Ahmad Raza on behalf of the Ulema of Makkatul Mukarrama, this question was asked by Makkatul Mukarrama [[Wahhabism|Wahhabi]] Ulema regarding Knowledge of the knowledge of Unseen (Ilm-e-Ghaib). At that time Ahmed Raza was suffering from a high fever, despite the illness he tried to answer all the questions, he answered in such detail that the answer took the form of a book, and this book was named Al Daulatul Makkiya Bil Madatul Ghaibiya.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Al Daulatul Makkiyah Bil Maadatil Ghaibiya |first1=Mufti Zahid Hussain Al-Qadiri |title=A brief history of Al Daulatul Makkiyah Bil Maadatil Ghaibiya by Mufti Zahid Hussain Al-Qadiri |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0L0oadr2TU |website=Youtube |date=25 November 2016 |publisher=Noori Amjadi |access-date=27 October 2022 |archive-date=27 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027053031/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0L0oadr2TU&amp;amp;gl=US&amp;amp;hl=en |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Prophet Muhammad ===&lt;br /&gt;
In this contrast to the beliefs of the Deobandis and Wahhabis, Ahmed Raza Khan supported the following beliefs:&lt;br /&gt;
* Muhammad is a human being made of &#039;&#039;[[Nūr (Islam)|nur]]&#039;&#039; (light) and is all-seeing and all-hearing.

*He opposed the belief of a founder of the Deobandi movement, Rashid Ahmad Gangohi, who stated that God has the ability to lie.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rag&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{citation |url=https://www.academia.edu/282790 |title=Sufis, Scholars and Scapegoats: Rashid Ahmad Gangohi(d. 1905) and the Deobandi Critique of Sufism |first1=Brannon D. |last1=Ingram |journal=The Muslim World |year=2009 |volume=99 |issue=3 |publisher=Blackwell Publishing |page=484 |doi=10.1111/j.1478-1913.2009.01281.x |access-date=2 June 2020 |archive-date=28 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028131851/https://www.academia.edu/282790 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This doctrine is called &#039;&#039;Imkan-i Kizb&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;kizb&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Ingram Brannon D. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GOVvDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;q=Imkan-i+Kizb |title=Revival from Below: The Deoband Movement and Global Islam |publisher=University of California Press |year=2018 |isbn=978-0-520-29800-2 |pages=7, 64, 100, 241 |access-date=14 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209221203/https://books.google.com/books?id=GOVvDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;q=Imkan-i+Kizb#v=snippet&amp;amp;q=Imkan-i%20Kizb&amp;amp;f=false |archive-date=9 February 2024 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rag&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Gangohi also supported the doctrine that God has the ability to make additional prophets after Muhammad (&#039;&#039;Imkan-i Nazir&#039;&#039;) and other prophets equal to Muhammad, a doctrine which was opposed by Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;kizb&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rag&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Ahmed Raza Khan visited Mecca and Medina for pilgrimage in 1905, he prepared a draft document entitled &#039;&#039;Al Motamad Al Mustanad&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;The Reliable Proofs&amp;quot;). In this work, Ahmad Raza branded Deobandi leaders such as [[Ashraf Ali Thanwi]], [[Rashid Ahmad Gangohi]], and [[Qasim Nanotwi]] and those who followed them as &#039;&#039;[[kuffar]]&#039;&#039;. Khan collected scholarly opinions in the [[Hejaz]] and compiled them in an Arabic language compendium with the title, &#039;&#039;Hussam al Harmain&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;The Sword of Two Sanctuaries&amp;quot;), a work containing 34 verdicts from 33 ulama (20 Meccan and 13 Medinese).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;khan&amp;quot;&amp;gt;*Siraj Khan, Blasphemy against the Prophet, in Muhammad in History, Thought, and Culture (Editors: Coeli Fitzpatrick and Adam Hani Walker), {{ISBN|978-1610691772}}, pp. 59–67 *R Ibrahim (2013), Crucified Again, {{ISBN|978-1621570257}}, pp. 100–101&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, Deobandis claim the evidence provided to the scholars in Arabia were fabricated and that Ahmed Raza Khan&#039;s takfir of them was unjust,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;kizb&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; and this initiated a reciprocal series of fatwas between Barelvis and Deobandis which has lasted to the present.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;khan&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Shia ===&lt;br /&gt;
Ahmed Raza Khan wrote various books against the beliefs and faith of [[Shia]] Muslims and declared various practices of Shia as kufr.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Sampark: Journal of Global Understanding|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tixuAAAAMAAJ|year=2004|publisher=Sampark Literary Services|access-date=10 October 2016|archive-date=9 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209222245/https://books.google.com/books?id=tixuAAAAMAAJ|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He considered most Shiites of his day apostates because, he believed, they repudiated necessities of religion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Fatawa-e-Razavia, Fatwa on Sunni marriage with shia, Book of Marriage; vol.11/pg345, Lahore edition&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://www.islamic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Fiqh/Sunni%20marriage%20with%20Shia.htm |title=Fiqh: Sunni marriage with Shia |work=www.islamic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |access-date=4 September 2015 |archive-date=18 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718103949/http://www.islamic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Fiqh/Sunni%20marriage%20with%20Shia.htm |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wahhabi Movement ===&lt;br /&gt;
Ahmed Raza Khan declared [[Wahabis|Wahhabis]] as disbelievers (&#039;&#039;kuffar&#039;&#039;) and collected many fatwas of various scholars against the Wahhabi movement founded by [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab]], who was predominant in the [[Arabian peninsula]], just as he had done with the Ahmadis and Deobandis. Until this day, Khan&#039;s followers remain opposed to the Wahhabi movement and their beliefs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ather&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url= https://mujarabamliyat.com/ |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180820113208/https://mujarabamliyat.com/ |archive-date= 20 August 2018 |url-status= dead |title= Kafirs |access-date= 28 July 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political views==&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other Muslim leaders in the region at the time, Khan and his movement opposed the [[Indian independence movement]] due to its leadership under [[Mahatma Gandhi]], who was not a Muslim.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saag&amp;quot;&amp;gt;R.

&lt;br /&gt;
Imam Ahmed Raza Khan declared that India was [[Divisions of the world in Islam#Dar al-Islam|Dar al-Islam]] and that Muslims enjoyed religious freedom there. According to him, those arguing the contrary merely wanted to take advantage of the provisions allowing Muslims living under the non-Muslim rule to collect interest from commercial transactions and had no desire to fight [[Jihad]] or perform [[Hijra (Islam)|Hijra]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jalal2009&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Ayesha Jalal|author-link=Ayesha Jalal|year=2009|title=Partisans of Allah: Jihad in South Asia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y7VVWhi9jGIC&amp;amp;pg=PA146|publisher=Harvard University Press|page=146|isbn=978-0-674-03907-0}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Therefore, he opposed labeling British India to be [[Dar al-Harb]] (&amp;quot;abode of war&amp;quot;), which meant that waging holy war against and migrating from India were inadmissible as they would cause disaster to the community. This view of Khan&#039;s was similar to other reformers [[Syed Ahmed Khan]] and [[Ubaidullah Al Ubaidi Suhrawardy]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Qureshi1999&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=M.

On 21 June 2010, [[Muhammad al-Yaqoubi]], a cleric and [[Sufi]] from [[Syria]], declared on [[Takbeer TV]]&#039;s program &#039;&#039;Sunni Talk&#039;&#039; that the [[Mujaddid]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]] was Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, and said that a follower of [[Sunni Islam|Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah]] can be identified by his love of Khan and that those outside of that those outside the Ahlus Sunnah are identified by their attacks on him.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;takbeertv&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b92u3Rh7oUc |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/b92u3Rh7oUc| archive-date=2021-12-12 |title=Shaykh Yaqoubi Advocates Imam Ahmed Raza as a Mujaddid from Indian Subcontinent !!!!|work=Sunni Talk|publisher=[[Takbeer TV]]|date=21 June 2010|access-date=19 August 2011}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Allama [[Muhammad Iqbal]] (1877–1938), a poet, Sufi, and philosopher, said: &amp;quot;I have carefully studied the decrees of Ahmed Raza and thereby formed this opinion; and his Fatawa bear testimony to his acumen, intellectual caliber, the quality of his creative thinking, his excellent jurisdiction and his ocean-like Islamic knowledge. Once Imam Ahmed Raza forms an opinion he stays firm on it; he expresses his opinion after a sober reflection. Therefore, the need never arises to withdraw any of his religious decrees and judgments.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Arafat, 1970, Lahore.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In another place he says, &amp;quot;Such a genius and intelligent jurist did not emerge.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Weekly &#039;&#039;Uffaq News Paper&#039;&#039;, Karachi. 22–28 January 1979.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Prof. Sir [[Ziauddin Ahmad]], who was the head of the department of Mathematics at [[Aligarh Muslim University]], was once unable to find solutions to some mathematic algorithms, even after he took help from the mathematicians abroad. He decided to visit Germany for the solution but at the request of his friend Sayyed Suleman Ashraf who was a professor of Islamic Studies at Aligarh Muslim University and also the mureed (disciple) of Ahmed Raza, Ziauddin visited Ahmed Raza on a special visit to get answers to his difficult questions, and under the guidance of Ahmed Raza he finally succeeded in getting solutions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Assunnah Trust |title=Aala Hazrat - An Adept Mathematician, Scientist and Economist |url=https://www.scribd.com/document/479858249/Aala-Hazrat-An-Adept-Mathematician-Scientist-and-Economist |website=Scribd |access-date=28 August 2022 |archive-date=28 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828105231/https://www.scribd.com/document/479858249/Aala-Hazrat-An-Adept-Mathematician-Scientist-and-Economist |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Zafar-ud-din |title=Hayat e Ala Hazrat |publisher=Kashmir International Publishers |year= |edition=2nd |pages=265–272 |language=Urdu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Justice Naeemud&#039;deen, Supreme Court of Pakistan: &amp;quot;Maulana Ahmad Raza&#039;s grand personality, a representation of our most esteemed ancestors, is history-making, and a history uni-central in his self. ... You may estimate his high status from the fact that he spent all his life in expressing the praise of the great and auspicious Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم), in defending his veneration, in delivering speeches regarding his unique conduct, and in promoting and spreading the Law of Shariah which was revealed upon him for the entire humanity of all times. His renowned name is &#039;Muhammad&#039; (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم), the Prophet of Almighty Allah. ...

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Samudra Manthana&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|sa|समुद्रमन्थन|lit=churning of the ocean}}) is a major episode in [[Hinduism]] that is elaborated in the [[Vishnu Purana]], a major text of [[Hinduism]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Chaturvedi |first=B. K. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u8m441zg_KgC&amp;amp;dq=churning+of+the+ocean+purana&amp;amp;pg=PA25 |title=Vishnu Purana |date=2006 |publisher=Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd. |isbn=978-81-7182-673-5 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Samudra Manthana explains the origin of the elixir of eternal life, [[amrita]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nomenclature==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Sāgara manthana&#039;&#039;&#039; (सागरमन्थन) – &#039;&#039;Sāgara&#039;&#039; is another word for &#039;&#039;[[Samudra]]&#039;&#039;, both meaning a sea or large water body.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Kshirasāgara manthana&#039;&#039;&#039; (क्षीरसागरमन्थन) – &#039;&#039;Kshirasāgara&#039;&#039; means the [[ocean of milk]] or milky ocean. &#039;&#039;Kshirasāgara&#039;&#039; = &#039;&#039;Kshira&#039;&#039; (milk) + &#039;&#039;Sāgara&#039;&#039; (ocean or sea).&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Amrita Manthana&#039;&#039;&#039; (अमृतमन्थन) – &#039;&#039;Amrita&#039;&#039; means the elixir. “&#039;&#039;Churning for the Elixir”&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legend==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Indra]], the King of [[Svarga]], was riding on his divine elephant when he came across the sage [[Durvasa]], who offered him a special garland given to him by an [[apsara]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BfV5DwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=Durvasa+apsara&amp;amp;pg=PT65 |title=The Book of Avatars and Divinities |date=2018-11-21 |publisher=Penguin Random House India Private Limited |isbn=978-93-5305-362-8 |pages=65 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The deity accepted the garland and placed it on the trunk (sometimes the tusks or the head of the elephant in some scriptures) of [[Airavata]] (his mount) as a testament to his humility. The flowers had a strong scent that attracted some bees. Annoyed by the bees, the elephant threw the garland on the ground. This enraged the sage, as the garland was a dwelling of &#039;&#039;[[Lakshmi|Sri]]&#039;&#039; (fortune) and was to be treated as a &#039;&#039;[[prasada]]&#039;&#039; or a religious offering. The goddess Lakshmi vanished into the oceans. Durvasa cursed Indra and all the [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]] to be bereft of all strength, energy, and fortune.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Dalal |first=Roshen |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zrk0AwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=Indra+garland+Airavata&amp;amp;pg=PT140 |title=Hinduism: An Alphabetical Guide |date=2014-04-18 |publisher=Penguin UK |isbn=978-81-8475-277-9 |pages=140 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Chaturvedi |first=B.

&lt;br /&gt;
In the battles following the incident, the devas were defeated, and the [[asura]]s, led by [[Mahabali|Bali]], gained control over [[Trailokya|the three worlds]]. The devas sought [[Vishnu]]&#039;s wisdom, who advised them to treat the asuras in a diplomatic manner. The devas formed an alliance with the asuras to jointly churn the ocean for the [[amrita|nectar of immortality]], and to share it among themselves. However, Vishnu assured the devas that he would arrange for them alone to obtain the nectar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Chaturvedi |first=B.

[[File:Myths of the Hindus &amp;amp; Buddhists - Shiva drinking the World-Poison.jpg|thumb|Shiva drinks the &#039;&#039;kalakuta&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The churning of the [[Ocean of Milk]] was an extensive process. [[Mount Mandara]] was uprooted and used as the churning rod and [[Vasuki (snake)|Vasuki]], a [[Nāga|naga]] who resided on Shiva&#039;s neck, became the churning rope after being promised that he would get his share. While carrying the massive mountain, several devas and asuras fell to their deaths and some perished due to sheer exhaustion. Vishnu flew upon his mount [[Garuda]] and revived them all, and placed Mandara on his mount and carried it towards its destination, the midst of the ocean. Reaching their destination, Vasuki coiled himself around Mandara. Vishnu counseled the devas to tug from the head of the serpent and the asuras the tail, but perceiving it as inauspicious the asuras refused. The devas relented and held the tail henceforth and the churning commenced. However, Mandara was too enormous and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Vishnu, in the form of his [[Kurma]] avatara (lit. &#039;&#039;turtle&#039;&#039;), came to the rescue and supported the mountain on his shell.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Klostermaier |first=Klaus K. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=avYkrkSmImcC&amp;amp;dq=kurma+supported+mandara&amp;amp;pg=PA241 |title=A Survey of Hinduism: Second Edition |date=1994-01-01 |publisher=SUNY Press |isbn=978-0-7914-2109-3 |pages=241 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Samudra Manthana&#039;&#039; bequeathed a panoply of substances from the Ocean of Milk. One of them was the lethal poison known as &#039;&#039;[[halahala]].&#039;&#039; In some variations of the story, the poison escaped from the mouth of [[Vasuki]] as the asuras and devas churned. This terrified the devas and the asuras because the poison was so powerful that it could destroy all of creation. The asuras were poisoned by fumes emitted by Vasuki. Despite this, the devas and the asuras pulled back and forth on the snake&#039;s body alternately, causing the mountain to rotate, which in turn churned the ocean. [[Shiva]] consumed the poison to protect the three worlds, the consumption of which gave a blue hue to his throat, offering him the epithet &#039;&#039;Neelakantha&#039;&#039; (the blue-throated one; &amp;quot;neela&amp;quot; = &amp;quot;blue&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;kantha&amp;quot; = &amp;quot;throat&amp;quot; in [[Sanskrit]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Sinha |first=Purnendu Narayana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GIBBAAAAYAAJ&amp;amp;dq=churning+of+the+ocean+bhagavata+purana&amp;amp;pg=PA169 |title=A Study of the Bhagavata Purana: Or, Esoteric Hinduism |date=1901 |publisher=Freeman &amp;amp; Company, Limited |pages=170 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ratnas===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sagar Manthan.jpg|thumb|Samudra Manthana]]&lt;br /&gt;
All kinds of herbs were cast into the ocean and fourteen [[wikt:ratna|ratna]]s (gems) were produced from it and were divided between the asuras and the devas. Though the ratnas are usually enumerated as 14, the list in the scriptures ranges from 9 to 14.  According to the quality of the treasures produced, they were claimed by Shiva, Vishnu, Maharishis, the devas, and the asuras. There were three categories of goddesses who emerged from the ocean; most lists include:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vp&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Wilson|first=Horace Hayman |author-link=Horace Hayman Wilson|title=The Vishnu Purana|url=http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/vp/vp044.htm#fr_236|year=1840}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Lakshmi]]: the goddess of prosperity and wealth, who chose Vishnu as her eternal consort.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Shastri |first1=J.

* [[Apsaras]]: divine damsels like [[Rambha (apsara)|Rambha]], [[Menaka]], Punjisthala, and others, who chose the [[Gandharva|Gandharvas]] as their companions.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Varuni]]: the goddess of wine (sura) and the virgin daughter of [[Varuna]], accepted by the devas. (Some interpretations believe her acceptance to be the etymology of devas being termed as suras and the [[Daitya|daityas]] as asuras.)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Krishnan |first=K. S. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O6SoDwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=sura+and+asura+varuni&amp;amp;pg=PT321 |title=Origin of Vedas |date=2019-08-12 |publisher=Notion Press |isbn=978-1-64587-981-7 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise, three types of supernatural animals appeared:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kamadhenu]] or Surabhi: the wish-granting cow, taken by [[Brahma]] and given to the sages so that the ghee from her milk could be used for [[yajna]]s and similar rituals.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Airavata]] and several other elephants, taken by Indra.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Uchhaishravas]]: the divine seven-headed horse, given to Bali.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three valuables were also produced:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kaustubha]]: the most valuable ratnam (divine jewel) in the universe, claimed by Vishnu.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kalpavriksha]]: a divine wish-fulfilling and flowering tree with blossoms that never fade or wilt, taken to [[Svarga|Indraloka]] by the devas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally produced were:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Chandra]]: a crescent, claimed by Shiva.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Dhanvantari]]: the &amp;quot;[[vaidya]] of the devas&amp;quot; with [[amrita]], the nectar of immortality. (Sometimes considered as two separate [[wikt:Ratna|Ratna]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;s)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Halahala]]: the poison swallowed by Shiva.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This list varies among the different Puranas and it is also slightly different in the [[Ramayana]] and [[Mahabharata]]. Lists are completed by adding the following [[wikt:Ratna|ratnas]]:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vp&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Panchajanya]]: Vishnu&#039;s conch&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Jyestha (goddess)|Jyestha]] ([[Alakshmi]]): the goddess of misfortune&lt;br /&gt;
* The umbrella taken by [[Varuna]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The earrings given to [[Aditi]] by her son Indra&lt;br /&gt;
* Nidradevi, goddess of sleep&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Amrita ===&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, [[Dhanvantari]], the God of Ayurveda emerged with a pot containing the [[Amrita|amṛta]], the heavenly nectar of immortality. Fighting ensued between the devas and the asuras for its possession. The Asuras took the Amrit from Dhanvantari and ran away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The devas appealed to Vishnu, who took the form of [[Mohini]], a beautiful and enchanting damsel. She enchanted the asuras into submitting to her terms. She made the devas and the asuras sit in two separate rows and distributed the nectar among the devas, who drank it. An asura named [[Svarbhanu]] disguised himself as a deva and drank some nectar. Due to their luminous nature, the deities of the sun and the moon, [[Surya]] and [[Chandra]], noticed this disguise. They informed [[Mohini]] who, cut off his head with her discus, the [[Sudarshana Chakra]]. From that day, his head was called [[Rahu]] and his body [[Ketu (mythology)|Ketu]], the Hindu myth behind eclipses. When all the Devas were served, Vishnu assumed his true form, riding on Garuda and departing to his abode. Realising that they had been deceived, the asuras engaged in combat with the devas, who had been bolstered by their consumption of amrita. Indra fought Bali, [[Kartikeya]] fought [[Tārakāsura|Taraka]], [[Varuna]] fought Heti, [[Yama]] fought Kalanabha, [[Brihaspati]] fought [[Shukra|Sukra]], [[Mitra (Hindu god)|Mitra]] fought Praheti, [[Vishvakarma]] fought [[Mayasura|Maya]], Vrishapati fought Jambha, [[Shani]] fought Naraka, [[Saraswati|Savitri]] fought [[Virochana|Vilochana]], [[Chandra]] fought [[Rahu]], [[Vayu]] fought [[Puloman]], and Aparajita fought Namuchi. There are also descriptions of duels between groups of beings: the [[Ashvins|Ashvini twins]] and Vrishaparva, [[Surya]] and the hundred sons of Bali, the sons of Brahma with [[Ilvala]] and Vatapi, the [[Maruts]] and the [[Nivatakavacha]], [[Kali]] with [[Sumbha and Nisumbha|Shumba and Nishumba]], the [[Rudras]] and the [[Krodhavasa|Krodavasas]], and the [[Vasu|Vasus]] and the Kaleyas. Rejuvenated by the amrita, the devas emerged victorious and exiled the asuras to the [[Patala|Patalaloka]], regaining [[Svarga]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Sinha |first=Purnendu Narayana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GIBBAAAAYAAJ&amp;amp;dq=churning+of+the+ocean+bhagavata+purana&amp;amp;pg=PA169 |title=A Study of the Bhagavata Purana: Or, Esoteric Hinduism |date=1901 |publisher=Freeman &amp;amp; Company, Limited |pages=172 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Origin of the Kumbha Mela ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Medieval [[Hindu theology]] extends this legend to state that while the asuras were carrying the amṛta away from the devas, some drops of the nectar fell at four different places on the Earth: [[Haridwar]], [[Prayagraj|Prayaga]] (Prayagraj),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/featurephilia/story/allahabad-to-be-renamed-as-prayagraj-a-look-at-up-govt-s-renaming-streak-1368908-2018-10-16|title = Allahabad to be renamed as Prayagraj: A look at UP govt&#039;s renaming streak}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Trimbak]] ([[Nashik district|Nashik]]), and [[Ujjain]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;KM_2003&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |jstor=3591863 |title=Making the Colonial State Work for You: The Modern Beginnings of the Ancient Kumbha Mela in Allahabad |author=Kama MacLean |journal=The Journal of Asian Studies |volume=62 |issue=3 |date=August 2003 |doi=10.2307/3591863 |pages=873–905 |s2cid=162404242 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to the legend, these places acquired a certain mystical power and spiritual value. A [[Kumbh Mela|Kumbha Mela]] is celebrated at these four places every twelve years for this reason. People believe that after bathing there during the Kumbha mela, one can attain [[moksha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While several ancient texts, including the various [[Puranas]], mention the &#039;&#039;Samudra Manthana&#039;&#039; legend, none of them mentions the spilling of the amṛta at four places.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;KM_2003&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Arvind Krishna Mehrotra |title=The Last Bungalow: Writings on Allahabad |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4DRuAAAAMAAJ |year=2007 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0-14-310118-5 |page=289 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Neither do these texts mention the Kumbha Mela. Therefore, multiple scholars, including R. B. Bhattacharya, D. P. Dubey and Kama Maclean believe that the &#039;&#039;Samudra Manthana&#039;&#039; legend has been applied to the Kumbha Mela relatively recently, in order to show scriptural authority for the mela.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Kama_2008&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Kama Maclean |title=Pilgrimage and Power: The Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, 1765-1954 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MALacgnsroMC&amp;amp;pg=PA5 |date=28 August 2008 |publisher=OUP USA |isbn=978-0-19-533894-2 |pages=88–89 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Association with Mandar Parvat ====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mandar Parvat]], located in [[Banka district|Banka]] district of [[Bihar]], is believed by locals to be the actual site of Samudra Manthana. According to regional legends, the hill served as Mount Mandara used in the churning of the ocean.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/story-banka-tourist-place-mandar-hill-is-special-for-three-religions-8449649.html|title = बांका स्थित मंदार पर्वत से देवताओं ने किया था समुद्र मंथन, आज भी देखने को मिलते हैं साक्ष्य}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A nearby pond, Paapharni, is associated with the nectar (amrita) that emerged. Devotees believe all 14 divine treasures (ratnas) appeared here.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.abplive.com/states/bihar/bihar-banka-district-mandar-parvat-have-samudra-manthan-14-ratna-come-out-know-full-story-ann-1952901|title = Mandar Parvat: बिहार के बांका में है वो पर्वत जिससे हुआ था समुद्र मंथन, निकले थे 14 रत्न और कालकूट विष, जानें पूरी कहानी}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparative study==&lt;br /&gt;
This episode has been analyzed [[comparative mythology|comparatively]] by [[Georges Dumézil]], who dubiously connected it to various historical &amp;quot;Indo-European&amp;quot; facts and even the European medieval legend of the [[Holy Grail]], reconstructing a proto-story (the &amp;quot;[[ambrosia]] cycle&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;cycle of the [[mead]]&amp;quot;) about a theoretical [[trickster]] deity who steals the drink of immortality for mankind but fails in freeing humans from death. Dumézil later abandoned his theory, but the core of the idea was taken up by Jarich Oosten, who posits &amp;quot;similarities&amp;quot; with the [[Hymiskviða]]. In this Old Norse poem, beer is prepared for the gods by the [[jötnar|Jotunn]] sea god Ægir, after Thor and Tyr recover a giant kettle Ægir needs to make the beer. Oosten claims the serpent [[Jörmungandr]] takes the place of Vasuki, although his role in the story is not at all similar or comparable.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;eiec&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite encyclopedia |first1=J.

Dingal was used in [[Rajasthan]] and adjoining areas including [[Gujarat]], [[Kutch district|Kutch]], [[Malwa]], and [[Sindh]]. Most of Dingal literature is said to be composed by [[Charan]]s. It was prominently used in composition of [[war poet]]ry praising the martial exploits of [[Rajput]] and [[Charan]] war heroes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Paniker|first=K.

Dingal is a New [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] (NIA) poetic language or style. It is called by various names such as Maru-Bhasha, [[Marwari language|Marwari]], and [[Old Western Rājasthāni]]. Dingal is also described as one of five &amp;quot;pre-modern [[Hindi]] literary dialects&amp;quot;, listed together with [[Braj Bhasha|Braj]], [[Awadhi language|Avadhi]], [[Sadhu bhasa|Sadhu]] and [[Maithili language|Maithili]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Jain |first1=Dhanesh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C9MPCd6mO6sC |title=The Indo-Aryan Languages |last2=Cardona |first2=George |date=2003 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-7007-1130-7 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dingal has also been called as the ancestor of [[Marwari language|Marwari]] and [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Mayaram|first=Shail|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zL-7m2MDp2EC&amp;amp;dq=%22dingal%22+%22rajput%22&amp;amp;pg=PA43|title=Against History, Against State: Counterperspectives from the Margins|date=2004|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=978-81-7824-096-1|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Origins and Antiquity of Dingal ==&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest reference of the term &#039;Dingal&#039; is found in the 8th-century text &#039;&#039;[[Kuvalaya-mālā|Kuvalayamālā]]&#039;&#039;, composed by Udhyotana Sūrī. According to Dingal scholar [[Shakti Dan Kaviya|Kaviya]], Dingal came into existence by the 9th-century, derived from the [[Apabhraṃśa|Apabhramsa]] of Western [[Rajasthan]], and became the literary language of the region and beyond.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Kamphorst |first=Janet |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z6eR2CX_zbsC |title=In Praise of Death: History and Poetry in Medieval Marwar (South Asia) |date=2008 |publisher=Leiden University Press |isbn=978-90-8728-044-4 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usage of the word &amp;quot;Dingal&amp;quot; is also found in &amp;quot;Uḍiṁgala Nāma Mālā&amp;quot; by the [[Jainism|Jain]] poet Vācaka Kuśalābha and in &amp;quot;Nāga Damana&amp;quot; by the saint-poet Sāyājī Jhūlā, both written at the beginning of the 15th century.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Rawat Saraswat|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.347797|title=Dingal Geet|date=1960}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Jhaverchand Meghani]], Dingal, the [[Charan]] tongue, was developed from [[Apabhraṃśa|Apbhramsha]] and [[Prakrit]]. Meghani considered Dingal both as a language and poetic medium which &amp;quot;flowed freely between [[Rajasthan]] and [[Saurashtra (region)|Suarashtra]] and conformed to the contours of other phonetic tongues like [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]] and [[Kutchi language|Kutchi]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Kothiyal |first=Tanuja |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IQS-DAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=%22dingal%22+%22rajput%22&amp;amp;pg=PA228 |title=Nomadic Narratives: A History of Mobility and Identity in the Great Indian Desert |date=2016-03-14 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-316-67389-8 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Uktiratnākara&#039;&#039; by Sādhu Sundara is not a bardic work, but a work on grammar in the form of an etymological glossary, and its chief importance lies in the fact that it throws a considerable light on the Old Mārwāri of the beginning of the seventeenth century A.D. I have shown elsewhere that the &#039;&#039;&#039;Dingaļa&#039;&#039;&#039; language of the Cāraṇas of Rajputana is ultimately but Old Mārwārī, or, to use a more comprehensive term, [[Old Western Rājasthāni]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-[[Luigi Pio Tessitori|L. P. Tessitori]] (1916) &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VY9EAQAAMAAJ |title=Journal &amp;amp; Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal |date=1916 |publisher=Asiatic Society |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vocabulary ==&lt;br /&gt;
An interesting feature of Dingal is that it preserves archaic words from the early medieval period which are not found anywhere else. Dingal distinguishes itself from other [[Northern Indo-Aryan languages|Northern Indo-Aryan]] languages since it contains older language forms and also incorporates novel grammatical and lexical constructs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Owing to its geographical origin at Western Rajasthan, Dingal vocabulary also shares words common with [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], and [[Sanskrit]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Tessitori |first=Luigi Pio |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=56r-tAEACAAJ |title=Bardic and Historical Survey of Rajputana: A Descriptive Catalogue of Bardic and Historical Manuscripts |date=2018-02-19 |publisher=Creative Media Partners, LLC |isbn=978-1-378-04859-7 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Luigi Pio Tessitori|Tessitori]] explains the archaic [[vocabulary]] of Dingal poets as follows: &amp;quot;The bards have been more conservative in the matter of [[lexicon]] than in the matter of [[grammar]], and most of the poetical and archaic words which were used by them five hundred years ago, can still be used by the bards of the present day, though their meaning may be no longer intelligible to any of his hearers or readers, but the initiated. This fact of the preservation of archaic words in &#039;&#039;Ḍiṇgaḷa&#039;&#039; is easily explained by the existence of the poetical glossaries such as the &#039;&#039;Hamīranāmamālā&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;Mānamañjarināmamālā&#039;&#039;, etc., and the large part they have been playing in the curriculum of the studies of the bards for the last three centuries or more. A great part of these obsolete words are borrowed from the vocabulary of the [[Sanskrit]] poetry, and it is chiefly to these that the extraordinary richness in synonyms of &#039;&#039;Ḍiṇgaḷa&#039;&#039; is ultimately due&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dingal and Maru Bhasha ==&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, the language of Western [[Rajasthan]], was known as Dingal.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Maheshwari|first=Hiralal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rK42AAAAIAAJ|title=History of Rajasthani Literature|date=1980|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The name Dingal was considered identical to &#039;&#039;Maru-Bhasha&#039;&#039; (otherwise called [[Marwari language|&#039;&#039;Marwari Bhasha&#039;&#039;]], &#039;&#039;Marubhum Bhasha&#039;&#039;, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are numerous historical examples of statements by Dingal writers which confirm the view that the spoken language of the region is also called Dingal. In &#039;&#039;Rukamaṇī Maṃgala&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Haraji ro Vyanwalo&#039;&#039;, late 15th-century &#039;&#039;Akhyan Kavya&#039;&#039; text, composed by Padam Bhagat is in the spoken language. A couplet found in one of its manuscripts says: &amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;The language of my poem is Dingal. It does not know any metre or continuity. It consists of only divine contemplation&#039;. &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Charan saint [[Swarupadas|Swarupdas]] in his &#039;&#039;Pandav Yashendu Chandrika&#039;&#039;, early 19th-century, says: &amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;My language is a mixed one. It contains Dingal, [[Braj Bhasha|Braj]], and [[Sanskrit]], so that all may understand. I beg apology of greater poets for this.&#039; &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Charans and Dingal ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although it is true that most of the Dingal literature was composed by the [[Charan]]s, other castes also adopted it and made great contributions. In addition to the [[Charan]]s, Dingal poetry is available in sufficient quantity by many poets of the [[Rajput]], Pancholi ([[Kayastha]]), [[Motisar (caste)|Motisar]], [[Brahmin]], [[Rawal (caste)|Rawal]], [[Jainism|Jain]], Muhata, and [[Bhats|Bhat]] communities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Bhati|first=Dr Narayansingh|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.401053|title=Dingal Geet Sahitya|date=1961}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Several [[Rajput]] kings wrote poems in Dingal, particularly [[Man Singh of Marwar|Maharaja Man Singh Rathore]] (reign 1803-1843) of [[Marwar]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Sharma |first=Padmaja |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WtkI7NNbbIIC&amp;amp;q=%22man+singh%22+%22dingal%22 |title=Maharaja Man Singh of Jodhpur and His Times (1803-1843 A.D.) |date=1972 |publisher=Shiva Lal Agarwala |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dingal Gīt ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dingal Gīt is a unique feature of Dingal and is considered to be an invention of [[Charan]]s. There is an important distinction to be made about Dingal Gits. The notion that these songs were sung is misleading. Dingal Gīts were recited by Charans in a way similar to [[Vedas|Vedic]] hymns.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It is a unique feature of Rajasthani poetry. As [[Doha (poetry)|doha]] is the most popular metre of &#039;&#039;[[Apabhraṃśa|Apabhramsa]]&#039;&#039;, so is Gīt for [[Rajasthani languages|Rajasthani]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gīts are of 120 types. Usually, In the Dingal texts of prosody, there have been 70-90 types of Gīts in usage.  A Git is like a small poem. Its not to be sung but recited in &amp;quot;high-pitched tones in a peculiar style&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of such Gīts have been written in commemoration of historical deeds. Many of them are contemporary in relation to the historical incident and as such are known as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Sākh rī Kavitā&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; or the poetry of [[testimony]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Ziegler |first=Norman P. |date=1976 |title=The Seventeenth Century Chronicles of Mārvāṛa: A Study in the Evolution and Use of Oral Traditions in Western India |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3171564 |journal=History in Africa |volume=3 |pages=127–153 |doi=10.2307/3171564 |jstor=3171564 |s2cid=156943079 |issn=0361-5413|url-access=subscription }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rules for composition ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are [[Prosody (linguistics)|prosodical rules]] for the composition of a Gīt. They are:-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &#039;&#039;Jathā:&#039;&#039; a special system of poetic composition; there are 18 types of Jathā&lt;br /&gt;
# &#039;&#039;Vaiṇsagāī:&#039;&#039; alliteration; it is rigidly followed; there are many types of Vaiṇsagāī&lt;br /&gt;
# &#039;&#039;Ukti&#039;&#039;: a statement, the basis being the speaker, the listener and the object&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, a composition has to avoid the &#039;&#039;dosas&#039;&#039; (flaws), which are peculiar to the Cāraṇ prosody and are of 11 types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, there are 22 types of &#039;&#039;chappay&#039;&#039;, 12 types of &#039;&#039;nīsāṇī&#039;&#039;, and 23 types of &#039;&#039;dohā&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Captain (armed forces)|Captain]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Gurbachan Singh Salaria&#039;&#039;&#039;, [[Param Vir Chakra|PVC]] (29 November 1935 – 5 December 1961) was an Indian [[Officer (armed forces)|military officer]] and member of a [[United Nations peacekeeping]] force. Salaria was an alumnus of the [[Bangalore Military School|King George&#039;s Royal Indian Military Colleges in Bangalore]] and [[Chail Military School|in Jalandhar]] as well as the [[National Defence Academy (India)|National Defence Academy]] (NDA). He was the first NDA alumnus and is the only [[UN Peacekeeper]] to be awarded a [[Param Vir Chakra]] (PVC), India&#039;s highest wartime military decoration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1961, Salaria was among the Indian troops deployed to the [[Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville)|Republic of the Congo]] as part of the [[United Nations Operation in the Congo]]. On 5 December, as part of [[Operation Unokat]], Salaria&#039;s battalion was tasked to clear a roadblock of two armoured cars manned by 150 [[Katangese Gendarmerie|gendarmes]] of the secessionist [[State of Katanga]] on the way to the [[Elizabethville Airport]]. The plan was that Salaria and his men were to block their retreat. His [[rocket launcher]] team attacked and destroyed the Katangese armoured cars. This unforeseen move confused the Katangese gendarmes, and Salaria felt it would be best to attack before they reorganised. Though his troops were outnumbered, they charged towards the Katangese and killed 40 men in a [[kukri]] assault. During the attack, Salaria was shot twice in the neck and eventually succumbed to his injuries. The remaining gendarmes fled in confusion, leaving their dead and wounded behind. This helped the main battalion to easily overrun the Katangese and clear the roadblock. For his duty and courage, and disregard for his own safety during the battle, Salaria was awarded the PVC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and education==&lt;br /&gt;
Gurbachan Singh Salaria was born on 29 November 1935, in Jamwal, a village near [[Shakargarh]], [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]], [[British Raj|British India]] (now in [[Pakistan]]). He was the second of five children of Munshi Ram and Dhan Devi.{{sfn|Rawat|2014|p=70}} His father had earlier been drafted into the Dogra Squadron of the [[Hodson&#039;s Horse]] regiment in the [[British Indian Army]]. Listening to tales of his father and his regiment motivated Salaria to join the army at a very young age.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=187}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of the [[partition of India]], Salaria&#039;s family moved to the Indian part of Punjab and settled in Jangal village in [[Gurdaspur district]]. Salaria enrolled in the local village school.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=187}} He was not very attentive to his studies and spent much of his time playing [[kabaddi]]. In July 1946 he applied for admission into the [[Bangalore Military School|King George&#039;s Royal Indian Military College]] in [[Bangalore]].

==Congo Crisis==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Congo Crisis}}&lt;br /&gt;
In June 1960, the [[Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville)|Republic of the Congo]] became independent from [[Belgium]]. But during the first week of July, [[1960 Force Publique mutinies|a mutiny]] broke out in the [[Land Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|Congolese Army]] and violence erupted between black and white civilians. Belgium sent troops to protect fleeing whites and two areas of the country, [[State of Katanga|Katanga]] and [[South Kasai]], subsequently seceded with Belgian support. The Congolese government asked the [[United Nations]] (UN) for help, and on 14 July 1960, the organisation responded by establishing the [[United Nations Operation in the Congo]], a large multi-national peacekeeping force and aid mission. Between March–June 1961, under the command of Brigadier [[K.A.S. Raja]], India contributed the [[99th Mountain Brigade|99th Infantry Brigade]], around 3,000 men, to the UN force.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=182}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After attempts at reconciliation between the Congolese government and Katanga failed, on 24 November, the [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]] approved [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 169|UN Security Council Resolution 169]].{{efn|United Nations Security Council Resolution 169, adopted on 24 November 1961.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;UN Resolution 169&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|title=UN Resolution 169|url=https://undocs.org/S/RES/169(1961)|website=United Nations Documents|publisher=[[United Nations]]|access-date=7 November 2017|format=PDF|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170909233950/https://undocs.org/S/RES/169(1961)|archive-date=9 September 2017|df=dmy-all}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;}} The resolution condemned Katanga&#039;s secession and authorised the use of force to immediately resolve the conflict and establish peace in the region.{{sfn|Mockaitis|1999|pp=32–33}} In response, the Katangese Gendarmerie took two senior UN officials hostage. They were later released, but Major Ajit Singh of the 1 Gorkha Rifles was also captured{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=183}} and eventually killed, as was his driver.{{sfn|Mockaitis|1999|p=33}} Roadblocks were erected by the gendarmes to prevent communication between the UN detachments and isolating them from each other, making it easier to take down the detachments one by one.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=183}} On 4 December a block was established on the road between the city of [[Élisabethville]] and the [[Lubumbashi International Airport|nearby airport]]. UN troops reacted by initiating [[Operation Unokat]] to defend their positions and reestablish their freedom of movement in the region.{{sfn|Mockaitis|1999|p=33}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Operation Unokat===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Operation Unokat}}&lt;br /&gt;
On 5 December 1961, the 3rd battalion, 1 Gorkha Rifles was tasked to clear the roadblock on the way to Élizabethville Airport at a strategic roundabout. The roadblock was held by 150 gendarmes{{efn|As per Chakravorty, there were 90 gendarmes.{{Sfn|Chakravorty|1995|p=69}}}} with two armoured cars. The plan was for the first attack to be made by Charlie Company, led by Major Govind Sharma. Captain Salaria, with a platoon from Alpha Company close to the airport road,{{efn|Some sources claim that Captain Salaria was leading 16 men,&amp;amp;lt;ref name=tehelka/&amp;amp;gt; while some claim 26.{{Sfn|Army Training Command|1997|p=113}}{{Sfn|Singh|2007|p=102}}}} was to block the gendarmes&#039; retreat, and to attack them if required. The rest of Alpha Company was kept in reserve. The plan was to be executed at midday.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=184}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Captain Salaria and his troops reached the specified location with their [[armoured personnel carrier]]s.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=185}} They were positioned around {{convert|1500|yards}} from the Katangese roadblock.{{Sfn|Reddy|2007|p=35}} His rocket launcher team was soon able to get close enough to the gendarmes&#039; armoured cars to destroy them. This unforeseen move left the Katangese confused and disorganised. Contrary to the prior plan of Charlie Company making the first attack, Salaria felt that it was prudent to attack before the gendarmes reorganised.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=185}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though his troops were heavily outnumbered by the gendarmes, he charged towards them, engaging in a hand-to-hand [[kukri]] assault whilst shouting the Gorkha war cry, &amp;quot;Ayo Gorkhali&amp;quot; ({{langx|en|The Gorkhas have arrived}}). Salaria and his men killed 40 gendarmes, but he was shot twice in the neck by automatic gunfire. He collapsed due to blood loss at the last line of trenches.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=185}}{{Sfn|Chakravorty|1995|p=70}} His second-in-command was ordered to evacuate him in an armoured personnel carrier to the airport hospital as soon as possible.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}} Regardless, Salaria succumbed to his injuries.{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=185}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The close engagement with the Indian troops resulted in the gendarmerie losing about half their men; they fled in confusion, leaving their dead and the injured behind. This enabled the main battalion to easily overrun the Katangese force, clear the roadblock, and prevent the gendarmes from encircling the UN Headquarters in Élisabethville. For his duty and courage, and disregard for his own safety, Salaria was awarded the [[Param Vir Chakra]].{{Sfn|Cardozo|2003|p=185}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Param Vir Chakra===&lt;br /&gt;
For his actions on 5 December 1961, Salaria was awarded the Param Vir Chakra. The citation read:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Blockquote|&lt;br /&gt;
On 5 December 1961, 3/1 Gorkha Rifles was ordered to clear a roadblock established by the gendarmerie at a strategic roundabout at Elizabethville, Katanga. The plan was that one company with 2 Swedish armoured cars would attack the position frontally and Captain Gurbachan Singh Salaria with two sections of Gorkhas and two Swedish armoured personnel carriers would advance towards this roadblock from the airfield to act as a cutting-off force. Captain Salaria with his small force arrived at a distance of 1500 yards from the roadblock at approximately 1312 hours on 5 December 1961 and came under heavy automatic and small-arms fire from an undetected enemy position dug in on his right flank. The enemy also had two armoured cars and about 90 men opposing Captain Salaria’s small force. Captain Salaria appreciating that he had run into a subsidiary roadblock and ambush and that this enemy force might reinforce the strategic roundabout and thus jeopardise the main operation, decided to remove this opposition. He led a charge with bayonets, khukris, and grenades supported by a rocket launcher. In this gallant engagement, Captain Salaria killed 40 of the enemy and knocked out the two armoured cars. This unexpected bold action completely demoralised the enemy who fled despite their numerical superiority and protected positions. Captain Salaria was wounded in his neck by a burst of automatic fire but continued to fight till he collapsed due to profuse bleeding. Captain Salaria’s gallant action prevented any enemy movement of the enemy force towards the main battle scene and thus contributed very largely to the success of the main battalion’s action at the roundabout and prevented the encirclement of UN Headquarters in Elizabethville. Captain Salaria subsequently died of his wounds.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Nelson João Sulpicio Afonso&#039;&#039;&#039; (20 April 1934 – 18 June 1982) was an Indian singer, composer, playwright, and [[theatre director]] who worked on the [[Tiatr|Konkani stage]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Nelson João Sulpicio Afonso was born on 20 April 1934, in [[Vasco da Gama, Goa]], which was a part of [[Portuguese India]] during the era of the [[Portuguese Empire]] (now in India). He was born into a [[Goan Catholic]] family, with his father, Manoel Adolfo Alfonso, originating from [[Aldona]], and his mother, Evelina Idinha Cardoso e Afonso, being a [[homemaker]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=30 June 2006 |title=Registo De Nascimento |url=https://goaonline.gov.in/Appln/UIL/BirthDeathCertificate_af?__Key=&amp;amp;_Mode=B&amp;amp;__cscKey= |access-date=10 August 2023 |website=Goa Online |archive-date=10 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810131321/https://goaonline.gov.in/HomePage |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Afonso&#039;s mother possessed vocal abilities, which he inherited, and it became evident at a young age that he had a natural talent for singing.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Encouraged by his neighbors, Afonso began showcasing his vocal prowess in village concerts and &#039;&#039;[[tiatrs]]&#039;&#039;, a popular form of [[Konkani language|Konkani]] [[musical theater]]. One of his neighbors, Baptista Lobo, provided him with the opportunity to perform in these events. Although originally from Aldona, Goa, Afonso eventually settled in Vasco da Gama, Goa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Afonso embarked on his professional journey in the [[Tiatr|Konkani theater]] at the age of 17, marking his debut on the stage. Known for his vocal prowess, he swiftly gained popularity within local villages. It was during this time that [[A. S. Conception]], a &#039;&#039;[[tiatrist]]&#039;&#039; residing in Afonso&#039;s neighborhood, discerned his abilities while witnessing one of his performances in a village drama. Recognizing Afonso&#039;s potential, Conception took it upon himself to introduce the budding talent to the established &#039;&#039;tiatrists&#039;&#039; of that era. Conception&#039;s efforts culminated in Afonso securing a breakthrough opportunity on the commercial &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]&#039;&#039; stage, which facilitated his acceptance and artistic growth. Conception also took a personal interest in nurturing Afonso&#039;s development. Afonso&#039;s talents soon captured the attention of senior &#039;&#039;tiatrists&#039;&#039;, who promptly cast him in their productions. Initially, [[Cross-gender acting|he primarily portrayed female characters]], exhibiting an ability to convincingly embody their essence through his attire, actions, and comedic timing.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Mazarello |first=Wilson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |title=100 Years of Konkani Tiatro |date=2000 |publisher=Government of Goa, Directorate of Art &amp;amp; Culture |pages=133–136 |language=en |access-date=2024-03-07 |archive-date=2024-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240107200151/https://books.google.com/books?id=K-1PAQAAIAAJ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Gradually, Afonso&#039;s passion for music composition began to emerge, leading him to create a [[repertoire]] of songs. His multifaceted abilities as an actor and singer left a mark on the &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; stage. As his career blossomed, Afonso ventured into the realm of playwriting. Crafting his own &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039;, he showcased proficiency in constructing compelling narratives. Afonso&#039;s scripts were appreciated for their thematic depth and meaningful messages.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Fernandes |first=William |title=TIATR 125th Anniversary Commemorative Volume |publisher=[[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] |year=2019 |location=[[Panaji, Goa]] |pages=59}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Afonso emerged as a known figure in the world of &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039;, crafting a collection of theatrical works during his era. With a total of 27 &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039; under his belt, Afonso covered a wide range of topics, including [[social issue]]s and [[politics]]. His [[Political drama|political &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039;]] titled &#039;&#039;Nationalist&#039;&#039; propelled him to fame and resonated with the [[Goan]] audience. Among Afonso&#039;s popular &#039;&#039;tiatrs&#039;&#039; are &#039;&#039;Doctor Salazar&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Ghorabo&#039;&#039; (Family), &#039;&#039;Almas do Outro Mundo&#039;&#039; (Souls from the Other World), &#039;&#039;Jikle re Jikle&#039;&#039; (We won, We won), &#039;&#039;Goenkar Te Goenkar&#039;&#039; (Goans are Goans), &#039;&#039;Suttka Uprant&#039;&#039; (Post Freedom), &#039;&#039;Dolorosa&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Doganch Puro&#039;&#039; (Two is enough). Afonso&#039;s contributions extended beyond writing, as he played a pivotal role in shaping the &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; landscape. Afonso established the [[Theatrical troupe|troupe]] Stars of the Goa Stage, consisting primarily of young and aspiring &#039;&#039;tiatrists&#039;&#039;. The troupe&#039;s name was eventually changed to Young Stars of Goa. Furthermore, during the staging of his &#039;&#039;tiatr Asro&#039;&#039;, Afonso formed his own group, known as the Old and Gold Stars of Goa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; This group comprised both seasoned and emerging &#039;&#039;tiatrists&#039;&#039;. Afonso had a particular focus on composing songs. Initially, he composed [[duet]]s and performed alongside artists such as Anthony, Conception, and Champion Peter. Subsequently, Afonso formed a [[trio (music)|trio]] with Conception and Anthony, specializing in politically charged songs. These compositions gained popularity for their outspoken commentary on issues like [[corruption]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; While the songs exhibited a satirical and critical tone, they maintained a respectful approach, avoiding any defamatory content.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=the times they are a-changin&#039;... |url=https://www.thegoan.net//the-times-they-are-achangin%E2%80%99/32064.html |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=The Goan EveryDay |language=en |archive-date=2024-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307141226/https://www.thegoan.net//the-times-they-are-achangin%E2%80%99/32064.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The trio&#039;s success propelled them to continue performing together, placing Afonso in the forefront as the primary composer. As the demand for [[Political criticism|government criticism]] grew, Afonso&#039;s songwriting abilities were put to the test, as he met the audience&#039;s expectations by delivering thought-provoking compositions. Afonso&#039;s creative innovation extended to the realm of [[stage design]]. In 1968, he made history by introducing the first single [[revolving stage]] in [[Konkani language|Konkani]] &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]&#039;&#039; with his popular production, &#039;&#039;Dolorosa&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; This stage design, named the &amp;quot;ring and roll&amp;quot;, featured a kitchen hall on one side and a road scene on the other.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2013-07-31 |title=Tiatr magic &#039;revolves&#039; around innovation |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/movie-details/news-interviews/tiatr-magic-revolves-around-innovation/articleshow/21503686.cms |access-date=2024-03-07 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=2024-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307141128/https://ow.pubmatic.com/setuid?bidder=amx&amp;amp;uid=4895c12c-e1e4-4d4d-88dd-a046be2ae856&amp;amp;do=timesofindia.indiatimes.com |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The stage&#039;s unique fabrication by Afonso allowed for seamless transitions between sets, eliminating the need for frequent set changes. By situating the two sets opposite each other, Afonso enabled a swift rotation of the stage, presenting the second set to the audience after the completion of the first.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Over the course of his career, Afonso composed and performed over 100 songs. Songs like &amp;quot;Nak Chepta,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Knockout,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Gaddo&amp;quot; gained popularity. Additionally, he participated in more than 500 &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; performances, spanning across his own productions and collaborative endeavors. Afonso&#039;s talent led him to tour various regions, including [[Bombay]], [[Goa]], and [[East Africa]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Among the notable zamindars of Jharia Raj were, Raja Durga Prasad Singh who inherited estate in 1850s when he was still a minor. Durga died in 1916, who was succeeded by  Raja Shiva Prasad Singh.  Shiva Prasad died in January 1947 and his eldest son, Shri Kali Prasad Singh became the last Raja of Zharia till the zamindari was abolished in 1952.&amp;lt;ref name=n&amp;gt;Diary of Golden Days in Jharia - – A Memoir &amp;amp; History of Gurjar Kashtriya Samaj of Kutch in Coalfields of Jharia – written by Natwarlal Devram Jethwa compiled by Raja Pawan Jethwa of Calcutta - 1998 pp: iv, 41&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The major coal mining areas were in the five big estates - Jharia Raj, Nawagarh Raj, Katrasgarh Raj, Tundi Raj and Pandra Raj, which covered the entire area between the Damodar and Barakar rivers in what was then [[Manbhum|Manbhum district]], which later became [[Dhanbad district]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Economy, society &amp;amp; politics in modern India - Page 97 by D. N. Panigrahi, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library - 1985&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Jharia Raj area was first surveyed and mapped by T.W.H. Hughes in 1866, and in 1890 by T. H. Ward who estimated 804 million tons of good coal reserve.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Indian Journal of History of Science - Volumes 17-18 - Page 386&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Earlier, in 1858 Messrs. Borrodaile and Co. had applied for a lease for the whole of Jharia estate. The Estate or Raj was at that time under the Court of Wards for a lease to mine coal in the Jharia estate was not granted. The first lease were not given before 1890. In 1895, Dhanbad, Jharia, Katras, Kusunda and Patherdih were connected by railway lines via [[Asansol]] to [[Calcutta]] and this considerably helped mining industry of this area to take off in a big scale.  With the railways came the [[KGK Community|Gujarati people]] as an expert railway contractor with an experience of railway construction work at [[Thane]]. They met the then Raja of Jharia and purchased some land having underneath a vast wealth in the shape of coals on lease.&amp;lt;ref name=t/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Coal Industry in India: An Historical and Analytical Account by Ghosh, Amiya B - 1977&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Among, them the pioneer Indian was [[Khora Ramji]], which was also acknowledged by British gazetteer.&amp;lt;ref name=n/&amp;gt; By early 1900s there were several coal mines operating in Jharia coalfields belt, which was now connected to Calcutta by a train link and the Jharia Raj began to prosper with the income coming from royalties and migrant population and Jharia becoming a major coal mining hub and business center in rival to [[Raniganj|Ranigunj]] coal region.&amp;lt;ref name=n/&amp;gt; There was intense competition between mine owners of the major coalfields, Jharia and Raniganj&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;History of Technology in India - Volume 3 - Page 428 by A.

The Jharia Raj was part of Manbhum district, the headquarters of which was Bangsoorna later shifted to [[Govindpur, Jharkhand|Govindpur]].

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jagiroad&#039;&#039;&#039; is a town in the state of Assam. It is located on the south bank of the [[Kolong river|Kolong River]], in the Mayong Subdivision of [[Marigaon district|Morigaon district]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://nenow.in/north-east-news/assam/assam-guwahati-city-to-be-extended-jagiroad-palashbari.html&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
It was earlier known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Nakhola&#039;&#039;&#039;, but in [[British Rule of India]], it was changed due to frequent confusion with the name [[Noakhali]] of [[Bangladesh]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vikas&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://as.vikaspedia.in/education/9859b89ae9f0-9ac9c19f099e9cd99c9c0/9b89829959cd9b79bf9aa9cd9a4-9f09c19aa9a4-9ae9f09bf9979be981993-99c9bf9b29be9f0-9879a49bf9b99be9b8-9859a49c09a4-9869f09c1-9ac9f09cd9a49ae9be9a8|title= সংক্ষিপ্ত ৰুপত মৰিগাঁও জিলাৰ ইতিহাস, অতীত আৰু বৰ্তমান|last= |first= |date= |website=vikaspedia.in |publisher=|access-date=|quote=|language=as|trans-title=Brief history, past and present of Morigaon district}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=allen&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=allen |first=Basil Copleston |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lXAoAAAAYAAJ&amp;amp;dq=nakhola&amp;amp;pg=PA173 |title=Assam District Gazetteers: Nowgong |date=1905 |publisher=Printed at the Baptist Mission Press |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In medieval times, there was a war between the Kacharis and [[Jungal Balahu]]. He was defeated and forced to retreat. The place where he stopped to drink the water of the [[Kolong River|Kolong river]], later became known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Raha&#039;&#039;&#039;. The place where he jumped into the Kolong and escaped is called &#039;&#039;&#039;Jagi&#039;&#039;&#039; and the road to Jagi, a place in Morigaon, passes through this place. Thus, the place known as Jagiroad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allen&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Deo Langkhui]], Dr. Rita Choudhary, 2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another theory suggests that the name may have originated from the word &#039;&#039;&#039;Jaglau,&#039;&#039;&#039; which means impossible or improbable in Dimasa Language. This theory is based on the belief that the area was once known for its cultural and intellectual activities, and the name Jagiroad may have been a reflection of this. Regardless of the origin, the name Jagiroad has become an integral part of the town&#039;s identity and history.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;xobdo&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.xobdo.org/dic/Jaglau|title=Jagalu &amp;amp;#124; English-Assamese Dictionary |last= |first= |date= |website=xobdo.org |publisher=|access-date=|quote=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Geography==&lt;br /&gt;
Jagiroad is a town located in the Morigaon district of Assam, India. It is situated on the southern bank of the [[Brahmaputra River]], approximately 55 kilometers east of the city of Guwahati.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The town has an elevation of around 52 meters above sea level and is situated in a region that is characterized by low hills and valleys. The area is part of the Brahmaputra Valley, which is known for its fertile alluvial soil and is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The town has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. The area was once inhabited by various tribes and communities, including the Tiwas, the Kacharis, and the Karbis. In the medieval period, Jagiroad was part of the Tiwa kingdom, which was ruled by the Tiwa dynasty.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vikas&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhimsingh’s writings provide valuable insights into the past of the present-day Morigaon town and its surrounding areas. In earlier times, this region was under the rule of six independent monarchs. During this era, two princes from Darrang, Supradhvaj and Makardhvaj, fled their native land due to internal strife. They crossed the vast Brahmaputra River and settled in Bahakajari. Supradhvaj eventually married the daughter of Mangalsingh, the ruler of Baghara. Following this marriage, Supradhvaj was appointed as the seventh ruler of the area, establishing his own autonomous kingdom.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://morigaon.gov.in/frontimpotentdata/district-profile|title= Morigaon District Profile|last= |first= |date= |website=morigaon.gov.in |publisher=|access-date=|quote=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the colonial period, Jagiroad was an important center for tea cultivation and trade. The British established several tea gardens in the area, which led to the growth of a tea-based economy. In addition to tea, the area was also known for its jute and silk industries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.gopalkrishnatea.com/|title= Gopal Krishna Tea Estate  |last= |first= |date= |website= gopalkrishnatea.com|publisher=|access-date=|quote=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jagiroad also played an important role in the [[Assam Movement]], which was a popular movement in the 1970s and 1980s that sought to protect the rights of the indigenous people of Assam. The town was a center of protests and demonstrations during this period.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |author = |date = |title= নেলী গণহত্যাৰ সুবিচাৰ হ&#039;বনে?|url=https://www.sangbadprahari.com/2019/02/blog-post_78.html?m=1 |work= |publisher=sangbadprahari.com |location= |access-date=|language=as|trans-title=Will the Neli genocide be justified?}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Her [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]], stroke, and early death at the age of 54 have been attributed in part to the trauma of her hunger strike and [[Force-feeding|force feeding]] by the prison authorities.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Timeline&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Women&#039;s suffrage==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===(1908) Conversion to suffragette cause===&lt;br /&gt;
Between September 1908 and October 1909 Constance Lytton&#039;s conversion to the militant suffragette cause was complete. On 10 September 1908 she wrote to Adela Smith:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I intend to interview the female inspector of Holloway prison, and will take part in the Suffragette breakfast with the next batch of released Suffrage prisoners on 16 September. I had a long talk with Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence.

I want to be of use if I can. Is there anything I can possibly do to help you?&amp;quot; A good deal of talk ensued. She said, &amp;quot;Yes,&amp;quot; I could help them. Could I see to it that Herbert Gladstone was asked to treat the Suffragettes as political offenders, which they are, and not as common criminals, which they are not?}}{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;Prison and Prisoners&#039;&#039;, she stated: &amp;quot;Women had tried repeatedly, and always in vain, every peaceable means open to them of influencing successive governments. Processions and petitions were absolutely useless.

As the motor appeared I stepped out into the road, stood straight in front of the car, shouted out, &amp;quot;How can you, who say you back the women&#039;s cause, stay on in a government which refuses them the vote, and is persecuting them for asking it,&amp;quot; and threw a stone at the car.

Lytton was imprisoned in [[Holloway prison]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC 1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; twice during 1909, after demonstrating at the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]], but her ill health (a weak heart) meant that she spent most of her sentence in the infirmary.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; When the authorities discovered her identity, the daughter of Lord Lytton, they ordered her release. The [[Her Majesty&#039;s Government|British government]] were also aware that her health problems and hunger striking could lead to martyrdom. Infuriated by such inequality of justice she wrote to the &#039;&#039;[[Liverpool Daily Post]]&#039;&#039; in October 1909 to complain about the favourable treatment she had received.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 24 February 1909, Lytton wrote to her mother about prison and reform in &#039;&#039;Prisons and Prisoners&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|My Angel Mother... If you ever see this letter it will mean that after joining the deputation I have been arrested and shall not see you again until I have been to Holloway... Prisons, as you know, have been my hobby. What maternity there lurks in me has for years past been gradually awakening over the fate of prisoners, the deliberate, cruel harm that is done to them, their souls and bodies, the ignorant, exasperating waste of good opportunities in connection with them, till now the thought of them, the yearning after them, turns in me and tugs at me as vitally and irrepressibly as ever a physical child can call upon its mother.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she was imprisoned in [[Holloway Prison]] during March 1909 she started to deliberately injure her body. Her plan was to cut &amp;quot;Votes for Women&amp;quot; from her breast to her cheek, so that it would always be visible. But after completing the &amp;quot;V&amp;quot; on her breast and ribs she requested sterile dressings to avoid [[Bacteremia|blood poisoning]], and her plan was aborted by the authorities.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC Schama 1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Lytton wrote of the [[Self-harm|self-injury]] action in &#039;&#039;Prisons and Prisoners&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|I had decided to write the words &amp;quot;Votes for Women&amp;quot; on my body, scratching it in my skin with a needle, beginning over the heart and ending it on my face. I proposed to show the first half of the inscription to the doctors, telling them that as I knew how much appearances were respected by officials, I thought it well to warn them that the last letter and a full stop would come upon my cheek, and be still quite fresh and visible on the day of my release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning before breakfast I set to work in real earnest and, using each of these [needle and broken hatpin] in turn, I succeeded in producing a very fine V just over my heart. This was the work of fully twenty minutes, and in my zeal I made a deeper impression than I had intended. The scratch bled to a certain extent. I had no wish for a blood-poisoning sequel, and, fearing the contact with the coarse prison clothes, when the wardress came to fetch me for breakfast I asked her for a small piece of lint and plaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was taken down to the Senior Medical Officer...and the ward superintendent, who ushered me into his presence and exposed the scratched &amp;quot;V&amp;quot; for his inspection, were evidently much put out. I felt all a craftsman&#039;s satisfaction in my job. The V was very clearly and evenly printed in spite of the varying material of its background, a rib bone forming an awkward bump. As I pointed out to the doctor, it had been placed exactly over the heart, and visibly recorded the pulsation of that organ as clearly as a watch hand, so that he no longer need be put to the trouble of the stethoscope.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{blockquote|I joined the W.S.P.U. again, filling up the membership card as Miss Jane Warton. The choice of a name had been easy. When I came out of Holloway Prison, a distant relative, by name Mr. F. Warburton, wrote me an appreciative letter...but Warburton was too distinguished a name; that would at once attract attention. I must leave out the &amp;quot;bur&amp;quot; and make it &amp;quot;Warton.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Jane&amp;quot; was the name of [[Joan of Arc]] (for Jeanne is more often translated into &amp;quot;Jane&amp;quot; than &amp;quot;Joan&amp;quot;) and would bring me comfort in distress.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|I accomplished my disguise in Manchester, going to a different shop for every part of it, for safety&#039;s sake. I had noticed several times while I was in prison that prisoners of unprepossessing appearance obtained least favour, so I was determined to put ugliness to the test. I had my hair cut short and parted, in early Victorian fashion, in smooth bands down the side of my face. This, combined with the resentful bristles of my newly-cut back hair, produced a curious effect. I wished to bleach my hair as well, but the hairdresser refused point-blank to do this, and the stuff that I bought for the purpose at the chemist&#039;s proved quite ineffective. A tweed hat, a long green cloth coat, which I purchased for 8s. 6d., a woollen scarf and woollen gloves, a white silk neck-kerchief, a pair of [[pince-nez]] spectacles, a purse, a net-bag to contain some of my papers, and my costume was complete. I had removed my own initials from my underclothing, and bought the ready-made initials &amp;quot;J.W.&amp;quot; to sew on in their stead, but to my regret I had not time to achieve this finishing touch.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|I returned to the house of my friends, selected from their garden small, flat stones in case of need, which I wrapped in paper, and snatched a hasty meal. My kind hostess had heard that I was a vegetarian, and had provided a most appetising dish of stewed white pears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The police then took hold of me. As for once it was my object above all else to get arrested and imprisoned, I began discharging my stones, not throwing them, but limply dropping them over the hedge into the Governor&#039;s garden. One of them just touched the shoulder of a man who had rushed up on seeing me arrested. I apologised to him. Two policemen then held me fast by the arms and marched me off to the police station.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Force-feeding====&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|He said if I resisted so much with my teeth, he would have to feed me through the nose. The pain of it was intense and at last I must have given way for he got the gag between my teeth, when he proceeded to turn it much more than necessary until my jaws were fastened wide apart, far more than they could go naturally. Then he put down my throat a tube which seemed to me much too wide and was something like four feet in length. The irritation of the tube was excessive. I choked the moment it touched my throat until it had got down. Then the food was poured in quickly; it made me sick a few seconds after it was down and the action of the sickness made my body and legs double up, but the wardresses instantly pressed back my head and the doctor leant on my knees. The horror of it was more than I can describe. I was sick over the doctor and wardresses, and it seemed a long time before they took the tube out. As the doctor left he gave me a slap on the cheek, not violently, but, as it were, to express his contemptuous disapproval, and he seemed to take for granted that my distress was assumed... Before long I heard the sounds of the forced feeding in the next cell to mine. It was almost more than I could bear, it was Elsie Howey, I was sure. When the ghastly process was over and all quiet, I tapped on the wall and called out at the top of my voice, which wasn&#039;t much just then, &amp;quot;No surrender,&amp;quot; and there came the answer past any doubt in Elsie&#039;s voice, &amp;quot;No surrender.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners Chapter 8&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lytton&#039;s health continued to deteriorate and she suffered a heart attack in August 1910,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC 1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; and a series of strokes which paralysed the right side of her body.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Undaunted, she used her left hand to write &#039;&#039;Prisons and Prisoners&#039;&#039; (1914), which became influential in prison reform.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC 1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prisons &amp;amp; Prisoners&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The book is also notable for making an explicit link between [[animal rights]] and women&#039;s rights.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Scholl 2022&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 9 October 1909 Lytton was awarded a [[Hunger Strike Medal]] by the WSPU.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=News - Suffragettes Anniversary |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/videos/crgygjwz68yo |access-date=2022-03-13 |website=BBC Archive |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1911 onwards===&lt;br /&gt;
In June 1911, Lytton&#039;s brother had a letter from [[Ellen Avery]], the local school headmistress, and forty-one other &amp;quot;Suffrage women of Knebworth and Woolmer Green&amp;quot;, thanking the Lyttons for having &amp;quot;laboured for our Cause&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;for faith in us as Women&amp;quot;: seventeen were [[Women&#039;s Social and Political Union|WSPU]] signatories, including Constance&#039;s own cook Ethel Smith, [[Dora Beedham|Dora Spong]], and nine who were in the non-militant suffragist [[National Union of Women&#039;s Suffrage Societies|NUWSS]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|title=Rise up, women! : the remarkable lives of the suffragettes|last=Atkinson|first=Diane|publisher=Bloomsbury|year=2018|isbn=9781408844045|location=London|pages=258–9|oclc=1016848621}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 1911 Lytton was imprisoned in Holloway for the fourth time, after breaking windows in the [[Houses of Parliament]], or of a post office in [[Victoria Street, London]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Chambre&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{Failed verification|date=August 2022}}{{Clarify|date=August 2022|reason=Is it not known which was the reason for her imprisonment?

&lt;br /&gt;
After the WSPU ended its militant campaign at the outbreak of war in 1914, Lytton gave her support to [[Marie Stopes]]&#039; campaign to establish [[birth control]] clinics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 1918 parliament passed a bill giving women over 30 the vote if they were married to a property owner or were one themselves.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BBC 1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Constance Lytton never fully recovered from her prison treatment, heart attack and strokes, and was nursed at Knebworth by her mother. They lived at [[Homewood, Knebworth|Homewood]], a house designed by Constance&#039;s brother-in-law, [[Edwin Lutyens]]. She died in 1923, aged 54,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Knebworth1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; only days after moving out of Homewood to a flat in [[Paddington]], London, in an attempt to restart an active life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jenkins (2015), pp. 228–30.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At her funeral, the purple, white and green Suffragette colours were laid on her coffin.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;HertsLife&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hertfordshirelife.co.uk/the-magazine-your-life-features-the-lady-and-the-vote--4618 Hertfordshire Life, Feature on Lady Constance Lytton, The Lady and the vote] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202023958/http://www.hertfordshirelife.co.uk/the-magazine-your-life-features-the-lady-and-the-vote--4618 |date=2 December 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Her ashes lie in the [[Lytton Mausoleum|family mausoleum]] in [[Knebworth House|Knebworth Park]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Indo-Aryan Languages Tree.png|thumb|Classification tree of the Indo-Aryan languages|class=skin-invert-image]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Indo-Aryan family as a whole is thought to represent a [[dialect continuum]], where languages are often transitional towards neighbouring varieties.{{sfnp|Masica|1991|p=25}} Because of this, the division into languages vs. dialects is in many cases somewhat arbitrary. The classification of the Indo-Aryan languages is controversial, with many transitional areas that are assigned to different branches depending on classification.{{sfnp|Masica|1991|pp=446–463}} There are concerns that a [[tree model]] is insufficient for explaining the development of New Indo-Aryan, with some scholars suggesting the [[wave model]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;kogan&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Kogan |first1=Anton I. |title=Genealogical classification of New Indo-Aryan languages and lexicostatistics |journal=Journal of Language Relationship |date=2016 |volume=14 |issue=4 |pages=227–258 |doi=10.31826/jlr-2017-143-411 |s2cid=212688418 |url=https://www.jolr.ru/files/(190)jlr2016-14-3-4(227-258).pdf |doi-access=free}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Inner–Outer hypothesis}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Inner–Outer hypothesis&#039;&#039;&#039; argues for a core and periphery of Indo-Aryan languages, with Outer Indo-Aryan (generally including Eastern and Southern Indo-Aryan, and sometimes Northwestern Indo-Aryan, [[Dardic languages|Dardic]] and [[Pahari language|Pahari]]) representing an older stratum of Old Indo-Aryan that has been mixed to varying degrees with the newer stratum that is Inner Indo-Aryan. It is a contentious proposal with a long history, with varying degrees of claimed phonological and morphological evidence. Since its proposal by [[Rudolf Hoernlé]] in 1880 and refinement by [[George Abraham Grierson|George Grierson]] it has undergone numerous revisions and a great deal of debate, with the most recent iteration by [[Franklin Southworth]] and [[Claus Peter Zoller]] based on robust linguistic evidence (particularly an Outer past tense in &#039;&#039;-l-&#039;&#039;). Some of the theory&#039;s sceptics include [[Suniti Kumar Chatterji]] and [[Colin P. Masica]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|Dardic languages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Dardic languages&#039;&#039;&#039; (also Dardu or Pisaca) are a group of Indo-Aryan languages largely spoken in the northwestern extremities of the Indian subcontinent. Dardic was first formulated by [[George Abraham Grierson]] in his [[Linguistic Survey of India]] but he did not consider it to be a subfamily of Indo-Aryan. The Dardic group as a genetic grouping (rather than areal) has been scrutinised and questioned to a degree by recent scholarship: Southworth, for example, says &amp;quot;the viability of Dardic as a genuine subgroup of Indo-Aryan is doubtful&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;the similarities among [Dardic languages] may result from subsequent convergence&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southworth&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Southworth |first=Franklin C. |title=Linguistic archaeology of South Asia |publisher=[[Routledge]] |year=2005 |isbn=0-415-33323-7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|149}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dardic languages are thought to be transitional with Punjabi and Pahari (e.g. Zoller describes Kashmiri as &amp;quot;an interlink between Dardic and West Pahāṛī&amp;quot;),&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;zoller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Zoller |first1=Claus Peter |title=Outer and Inner Indo-Aryan, and northern India as an ancient linguistic area |journal=Acta Orientalia |date=2016 |volume=77 |pages=71–132 |url=https://journals.uio.no/actaorientalia/article/download/5355/4695}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|83}} as well as non-Indo-Aryan [[Nuristani languages|Nuristani]]; and are renowned for their relatively conservative features in the context of [[Proto-Indo-Aryan language|Proto-Indo-Aryan]].&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Northwestern Indo-Aryan languages&#039;&#039;&#039; are spoken in the northwestern region of India and eastern region of Pakistan. [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] is spoken predominantly in the [[Punjab region]] and is the official language of [[Punjab, India|the northern Indian state of Punjab]], in addition to being the most widely-spoken language in Pakistan. [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]] and its variants are spoken natively in the Pakistani province of [[Sindh]] and neighbouring regions. Northwestern languages are ultimately thought to be descended from [[Shauraseni Prakrit]], with influence from [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Arabic]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sigfried J. de Laet.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Western Indo-Aryan languages&#039;&#039;&#039; are spoken in central and western India, in states such as [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Rajasthan]], in addition to contiguous regions in Pakistan. Gujarati is the official language of [[Gujarat]], and is spoken by over 50 million people. In Europe, various [[Romani languages]] are spoken by the [[Romani people]], an itinerant community who historically migrated from India. The Western Indo-Aryan languages are thought to have diverged from their northwestern counterparts, although they have a common antecedent in [[Shauraseni Prakrit]].&lt;br /&gt;

==== {{vanchor|Central}} Zone ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Central Indo-Aryan languages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within India, [[Central Indo-Aryan languages]] are spoken primarily in the western [[Gangetic plains]], including [[Delhi]] and parts of the [[Central Highlands (India)|Central Highlands]], where they are often transitional with neighbouring lects. Many of these languages, including [[Braj]] and [[Awadhi language|Awadhi]], have rich literary and poetic traditions. [[Urdu]], a Persianised derivative of [[Dehlavi]] descended from [[Shauraseni Prakrit]], is the official language of [[Pakistan]] and also has strong [[Dakhini|historical]] connections to [[India]], where it also has been designated with official status. [[Hindi]], a standardised and Sanskritised register of [[Dehlavi]], is the official language of the [[Government of India]] (along with [[English language|English]]). [[Hindustani language|Together with Urdu]], it is the third most-spoken language in the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Eastern Indo-Aryan&#039;&#039;&#039; languages, also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Magadhan&#039;&#039;&#039; languages, are spoken throughout the [[Eastern South Asia|eastern subcontinent]], alongside other regions surrounding the northwestern Himalayan corridor. [[Bengali language|Bengali]] is the seventh most-spoken language in the world, and has a strong literary tradition; the [[national anthem]]s of [[India]] and [[Bangladesh]] are written in Bengali. [[Assamese language|Assamese]] and [[Odia language|Odia]] are the official languages of [[Assam]] and [[Odisha]], respectively.

==== Proto-Indo-Aryan ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Proto-Indo-Aryan language}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proto-Indo-Aryan (or sometimes Proto-Indic{{efn|name=indic&amp;quot;}}) is the [[Linguistic reconstruction|reconstructed]] [[proto-language]] of the Indo-Aryan languages. It is intended to reconstruct the language of the [[Indo-Aryan peoples#History|pre-Vedic Indo-Aryans]]. Proto-Indo-Aryan is meant to be the predecessor of [[#Old Indo-Aryan|Old Indo-Aryan]] (1500–300 BCE), which is directly attested as [[Vedic Sanskrit|Vedic]] and [[Indo-Aryan superstrate in Mitanni|Mitanni-Aryan]]. Despite the great archaicity of Vedic, however, the other Indo-Aryan languages preserve a small number of [[Proto-Indo-Aryan language#Differences from Vedic|conservative features lost in Vedic]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mitanni-Aryan hypothesis ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Indo-Aryan superstrate in Mitanni}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some theonyms, proper names, and other terminology of the Late [[Bronze Age]] [[Mitanni]] civilisation of [[Upper Mesopotamia]] exhibit an Indo-Aryan superstrate. While what few written records left by the Mittani are either in [[Hurrian language|Hurrian]] (which appears to have been the predominant language of their kingdom) or [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] (the main [[diplomatic language]] of the Late Bronze Age Near East), these apparently Indo-Aryan names suggest that an Indo-Aryan elite imposed itself over the [[Hurrians]] in the course of the [[Indo-Aryan migration|Indo-Aryan expansion]]. If these traces are Indo-Aryan, they would be the earliest known direct evidence of Indo-Aryan, and would increase the precision in dating the split between the Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages (as the texts in which the apparent Indicisms occur can be dated with some accuracy).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a treaty between the [[Hittites]] and the Mitanni, the deities [[Mitra]], [[Varuna]], [[Indra]], and the [[Ashvins]] ([[Nasatya]]) are invoked. [[Kikkuli]]&#039;s horse training text includes technical terms such as &#039;&#039;aika&#039;&#039; (cf. Sanskrit &#039;&#039;eka&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;one&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;tera&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;tri&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;three&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;panza&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;panca&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;five&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;satta&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;sapta&#039;&#039;, seven), &#039;&#039;na&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;nava&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;nine&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;vartana&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;vartana&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;turn&amp;quot;, round in the horse race). The numeral &#039;&#039;aika&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;one&amp;quot; is of particular importance because it places the superstrate in the vicinity of Indo-Aryan proper as opposed to Indo-Iranian in general or early Iranian (which has &#039;&#039;aiva&#039;&#039;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Paul Thieme, The &#039;Aryan&#039; Gods of the Mitanni Treaties. JAOS 80, 1960, 301–17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Another text has &#039;&#039;babru&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;babhru&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;brown&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;parita&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;palita&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;grey&amp;quot;), and {{transliteration|mis|pinkara}} (&#039;&#039;pingala&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;red&amp;quot;). Their chief festival was the celebration of the [[solstice]] (&#039;&#039;vishuva&#039;&#039;) which was common in most cultures in the ancient world. The Mitanni warriors were called &#039;&#039;marya&#039;&#039;, the term for &amp;quot;warrior&amp;quot; in [[Sanskrit]] as well; note &#039;&#039;mišta-nnu&#039;&#039; (= &#039;&#039;miẓḍha&#039;&#039;, ≈ Sanskrit &#039;&#039;mīḍha&#039;&#039;) &amp;quot;payment (for catching a fugitive)&amp;quot; (M. Mayrhofer, &#039;&#039;Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindoarischen&#039;&#039;, Heidelberg, 1986–2000; Vol. II:358).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sanskritic interpretations of Mitanni royal names render [[Artashumara]] (&#039;&#039;artaššumara&#039;&#039;) as &#039;&#039;Ṛtasmara&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;who thinks of [[Ṛta]]&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer II 780), Biridashva (&#039;&#039;biridašṷa, biriiašṷ&#039;&#039;a) as &#039;&#039;Prītāśva&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;whose horse is dear&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer II 182), Priyamazda (&#039;&#039;priiamazda&#039;&#039;) as &#039;&#039;Priyamedha&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;whose wisdom is dear&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer II 189, II378), Citrarata as &#039;&#039;Citraratha&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;whose chariot is shining&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer I 553), Indaruda/Endaruta as &#039;&#039;Indrota&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;helped by [[Indra]]&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer I 134), Shativaza (&#039;&#039;šattiṷaza&#039;&#039;) as &#039;&#039;Sātivāja&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;winning the race price&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer II 540, 696), Šubandhu as &#039;&#039;Subandhu&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;having good relatives&amp;quot; (a name in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], Mayrhofer II 209, 735), Tushratta (&#039;&#039;tṷišeratta, tušratta&#039;&#039;, etc.) as *tṷaiašaratha, Vedic [[Tvastar]] &amp;quot;whose chariot is vehement&amp;quot; (Mayrhofer, Etym. Wb., I 686, I 736).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== {{Anchor|Old Indo-Aryan}}Old Indo-Aryan ====&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest evidence of the group is from [[Vedic Sanskrit]], which is used in the ancient preserved texts of the [[Indian subcontinent]], the foundational canon of the [[Hindu synthesis]] known as the [[Veda]]s. The [[Indo-Aryan superstrate in Mitanni]] is of similar age to the language of the [[Rigveda]], but the only evidence of it is a few proper names and specialised loanwords.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=The Roots of Hinduism: The Early Aryans and The Indus Civilization |last=Parpola |first=Asko |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |year=2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Old Indo-Aryan is the earliest stage of the Indo-Aryan branch, from which all known languages of the later stages Middle and New Indo-Aryan are derived, some documented Middle Indo-Aryan variants cannot fully be derived from the documented form of Old Indo-Aryan (on which Vedic and Classical Sanskrit are based), but betray features that must go back to other undocumented dialects of Old Indo-Aryan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Oberlies |first=Thomas |year=2007 |chapter=Chapter Five: Aśokan Prakrit and Pāli |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OtCPAgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA161 |editor1-last=Cardona |editor1-first=George |editor2-last=Jain |editor2-first=Danesh |title=The Indo-Aryan Languages |publisher=Routledge |page=179 |isbn=9781135797119}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Vedic Sanskrit, &amp;quot;[[Sanskrit]]&amp;quot; (literally &#039;put together, perfected, elaborated&#039;) developed as the prestige language of culture, science and religion, as well as the court, theatre, etc. Sanskrit of the later Vedic texts is comparable to [[Classical Sanskrit]], but is largely [[mutually unintelligible]] with Vedic Sanskrit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Gombrich |first=Richard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jZyJAgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA24 |title=Theravada Buddhism: A Social History from Ancient Benares to Modern Colombo |date=14 April 2006 |publisher=[[Routledge]] |isbn=978-1-134-90352-8 |page=24 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Middle Indo-Aryan (Prakrits) ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Middle Indo-Aryan languages}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside the learned sphere of Sanskrit, vernacular dialects ([[Prakrit]]s) continued to evolve. The oldest attested Prakrits are the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] and [[Jainism|Jain]] canonical languages [[Pali]] and [[Ardhamagadhi Prakrit]], respectively. Inscriptions in [[Ashokan Prakrit]] were also part of this early Middle Indo-Aryan stage, developing into [[Gandhari Prakrit]] and [[Monumental Prakrit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By medieval times, the Prakrits had diversified into various [[Middle Indo-Aryan languages]]. &#039;&#039;[[Apabhraṃśa]]&#039;&#039; is the conventional cover term for transitional dialects connecting late Middle Indo-Aryan with early modern Indo-Aryan, spanning roughly the 6th to 13th centuries. Some of these dialects showed considerable literary production; the &#039;&#039;Śravakacāra&#039;&#039; of Devasena (dated to the 930s) is now considered to be the first book written in Hindi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next major milestone occurred with the [[Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent]] in the 13th–16th centuries. Under the flourishing [[Turco-Mongol tradition|Turco-Mongol]] [[Mughal Empire]], [[Persian language in the Indian subcontinent|Persian]] became very influential as the language of prestige of the Islamic courts due to adoption of the foreign language by the Mughal emperors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The largest languages that formed from Apabhraṃśa were [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]], [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]], [[Assamese language|Assamese]], [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]], [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]], [[Odia language|Odia]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]], and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|Parya language}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Parya language|Parya]] is spoken in [[Tajikistan]] and [[Uzbekistan]] by the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent. The language retains many features similar to Punjabi and the Western Hindi dialects, while also bearing some influence from Tajik Persian.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tiwari&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Tajuzbeki|last=Tiwari|first=Bholanath|publisher=National Publishing House|url=https://archive.org/details/Tajuzbeki-Dr.BholanathTiwari|year=1970}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Romani ====&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Romani language}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Romani language is usually included in the Western Indo-Aryan languages.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Romani (subgroup) |work=Ethnologue |publisher=[[SIL International]] |date=n.d. |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/romani |access-date=15 September 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Romani varieties, which are mainly spoken throughout Europe, are noted for their relatively conservative nature; maintaining the Middle Indo-Aryan present-tense person concord markers, alongside consonantal endings for nominal case. Indeed, these features are no longer evident in most other modern Central Indo-Aryan languages. Moreover, Romani shares an innovative pattern of past-tense person, which corresponds to Dardic languages, such as Kashmiri and Shina. This is believed to be further indication that proto-Romani speakers were originally situated in central regions of the subcontinent, before migrating to northwestern regions. However, there are no known historical sources regarding the development of the Romani language specifically within India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research conducted by nineteenth-century scholars Pott (1845) and Miklosich (1882–1888) demonstrated that the Romani language is most aptly designated as a New Indo-Aryan language (NIA), as opposed to Middle Indo-Aryan (MIA); establishing that proto-Romani speakers could not have left India significantly earlier than AD 1000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The principal argument favouring a migration during or after the transition period to NIA is the loss of the old system of nominal case, coupled with its reduction to a two-way nominative-oblique case system. A secondary argument concerns the system of gender differentiation, due to the fact that Romani has only two genders (masculine and feminine). Middle Indo-Aryan languages (named MIA) generally employed three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), and some modern Indo-Aryan languages retain this aspect today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is suggested that loss of the neuter gender did not occur until the transition to NIA. During this process, most of the neuter nouns became masculine, while several became feminine. For example, the neuter &#039;&#039;aggi&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;fire&amp;quot; in Prakrit morphed into the feminine &#039;&#039;āg&#039;&#039; in Hindustani, and &#039;&#039;jag&#039;&#039; in Romani. The parallels in grammatical gender evolution between Romani and other NIA languages have additionally been cited as indications that the forerunner of Romani remained on the Indian subcontinent until a later period, possibly as late as the tenth century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Sindhic migrations ====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kholosi]], [[Jadgali]], [[Luwati language|Luwati]], Maimani and Al Sayigh&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Jahdhami |first=Said Humaid Al |date=31 July 2022 |title=Maimani Language and Lawati Language: Two Sides of the Same Coin? |url=https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/JML/article/view/27667 |journal=Journal of Modern Languages |language=en |volume=32 |issue=1 |pages=37–57 |doi=10.22452/jml.vol32no1.3 |issn=2462-1986|doi-access=free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; represent offshoots of the [[Sindhi languages|Sindhic]] subfamily of Indo-Aryan that have established themselves in the [[Persian Gulf]] region, perhaps through sea-based migrations. These are of a later origin than the Rom and Dom migrations which represent a different part of Indo-Aryan as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Indentured labourer migrations ====&lt;br /&gt;
The use by the [[British East India Company]] of indentured labourers led to the transplanting of Indo-Aryan languages around the world, leading to locally influenced lects that diverged from the source language, such as [[Fiji Hindi]] and [[Caribbean Hindustani]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Phonology ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Consonants ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Stop positions ====&lt;br /&gt;
The normative system of New Indo-Aryan stops consists of five [[places of articulation]]: [[Labial consonant|labial]], [[Dental consonant|dental]], &amp;quot;[[Retroflex consonant|retroflex]]&amp;quot;, [[palatal consonant|palatal]], and [[velar consonant|velar]], which is the same as that of Sanskrit. The &amp;quot;retroflex&amp;quot; position may involve retroflexion, or curling the tongue to make the contact with the underside of the tip, or merely retraction. The point of contact may be [[alveolar consonant|alveolar]] or [[postalveolar]], and the distinctive quality may arise more from the shaping than from the position of the tongue. Palatal stops have [[affricate consonant|affricate]]d release and are traditionally included as involving a distinctive tongue position (blade in contact with hard palate). Widely transcribed as {{IPA|[tʃ]}}, {{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|p=94}} claims {{IPA|[cʃ]}} to be a more accurate rendering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moving away from the normative system, some languages and dialects have alveolar affricates {{IPA|[ts]}} instead of palatal, though some among them retain {{IPA|[tʃ]}} in certain positions: before [[front vowel]]s (esp. {{IPA|/i/}}), before {{IPA|/j/}}, or when [[geminate]]d. Alveolar as an &#039;&#039;additional&#039;&#039; point of articulation occurs in [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and [[Konkani people|Konkani]] where dialect mixture and others factors upset the aforementioned complementation to produce minimal environments, in some West Pahari dialects through internal developments ({{IPA|*t̪ɾ}}, {{IPA|t̪}} &amp;gt; {{IPA|/tʃ/}}), and in [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]]. The addition of a [[Voiceless retroflex affricate|retroflex affricate]] to this in some [[Dardic languages]] maxes out the number of stop positions at seven (barring borrowed {{IPA|/q/}}), while a reduction to the inventory involves *ts &amp;gt; {{IPA|/s/}}, which has happened in [[Assamese language|Assamese]], [[Chittagonian language|Chittagonian]], [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]] (though there have been other sources of a secondary {{IPA|/ts/}}), and Southern Mewari.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further reductions in the number of stop articulations are in Assamese and [[Romani language|Romani]], which have lost the characteristic dental/retroflex contrast, and in Chittagonian, which may lose its labial and velar articulations through [[spirantisation]] in many positions (&amp;gt; {{IPA|[f, x]}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=94–95}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; /q x ɣ f/ are restricted to Perso-Arabic loanwords in most IA languages but they occur natively in Khowar.{{sfnp|Cardona|Jain|2003|p=932}} According to Masica (1991) some dialects of Pashayi have a /θ/ which is unusual for IA languages. Domari which is spoken in the Middle East and had high contact with Middle Eastern languages has /q ħ ʕ ʔ/ and emphatic consonants from loanwords.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Nasals ====&lt;br /&gt;
Sanskrit was noted as having five [[nasal stop|nasal-stop]] articulations corresponding to its oral stops, with the palatal and velar nasals only appearing in homorganic clusters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among modern Indo-Aryan languages, Dogri, Kacchi, Kalasha, Rudhari, Shina, Saurashtri, and Sindhi have been analysed as having this full set of phonemic nasals {{IPAslink|m}} {{IPAslink|n}} {{IPAslink|ɳ}} {{IPAslink|ɲ}} {{IPAslink|ŋ}}, with the last two generally as the result of the loss of the stop from a [[homorganic]] nasal + stop cluster ({{IPA|[ɲj]}} &amp;gt; {{IPA|[ɲ]}} and {{IPA|[ŋɡ]}} &amp;gt; {{IPA|[ŋ]}}), though there are other sources as well.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=95–96}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In languages that lack phonemic nasals at some places of articulation, they can still occur allophonically from place assimilation in a nasal + stop cluster, e.g. Hindustani {{IPA|/nɡ/}} &amp;gt; {{IPA|[ŋɡ]}}. Furthermore, some nasals are restricted to certain positions as a merger of several sounds, e.g. {{IPA|[ŋ]}} being the realization of any nasal in final position in Sinhala and Dhivehi. These allophonic and derived examples are not included in the following table.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aspiration and breathy-voice ====&lt;br /&gt;
Most Indo-Aryan languages have contrastive [[Aspirated consonant|aspiration]] ({{IPA|/ʈ/ ~ /ʈʰ/}}), and some retain historical [[breathy voice]] on voiced consonants ({{IPA|/ɖ/ ~ /ɖʱ/}}). Sometimes both phenomena are analysed as a single aspiration contrast. The places and manners of articulation which allow contrastive aspiration vary by language; e.g. Sindhi permits phonemic {{IPA|/mʱ/}}, but the phonemic status of this sound in Hindustani is uncertain, and many &amp;quot;Dardic&amp;quot; languages lack aspirated retroflex sibilants despite having unaspirated equivalents.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=101–102}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In languages that have lost breathy-voice, the contrast has often been replaced with tone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Regional developments ====&lt;br /&gt;
Some of these are mentioned in {{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=104–105}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Implosive consonant|Implosives]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Languages in the [[Sindhi languages|Sindhic]] subfamily, as well as [[Saraiki language|Saraiki]], western [[Marwari language|Marwari]] dialects, and some dialects of Gujarati have developed implosive consonants from historical intervocalic geminates and word-initial stops. Sindhi has a full implosive series except for the dental implosive: {{IPA|/ɠ ʄ ᶑ ɓ/}}. It has been claimed that [[Wadiyari Koli]] has the dental implosive too. Other languages have less complete implosive series, e.g. Kacchi has just {{IPA|/ᶑ ɓ/}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Prenasalized stops]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Sinhala and Maldivian (Dhivehi) have a series of prenasalised stops covering all places except for palatal: {{IPA|/ᵐb ⁿd ᶯɖ ᵑɡ/}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Palatalization (phonetics)|Palatalization]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Kashmiri (natively) and some Romani dialects (from contact with Slavic languages) have contrastive palatalisation.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[ɬ|Voiceless lateral]]&#039;&#039;&#039; In Gawarbati, some Pashai dialects, partly Bashkarik and some Shina dialects have /ɬ/ from clusters of tr kr or sometimes pr; dr gr and br merged with /l/ in these languages.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lateral affricate]]s&#039;&#039;&#039;: [[Bhadarwahi language|Bhadarwahi]] has an unusual series of lateral retroflex affricates ({{IPA|/ʈ͡ꞎ ɖ͡ɭ ɖ͡ɭʱ/}} derived from historical {{IPA|/Cɾ/}} clusters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vowels ===&lt;br /&gt;
Vowel typologies are varied across Indo-Aryan due to diachronic mergers and (in some cases) splits, as well as different accounts by linguists for even the widely-spoken languages. Vowel systems per {{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=108–113}} are listed below. Many languages also have phonemic nasal vowels.&lt;br /&gt;

The following are consonant systems of major and representative New Indo-Aryan languages, mostly following {{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|pp=106–107}}, though here they are in [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]. Parentheses indicate those consonants found only in loanwords: square brackets indicate those with &amp;quot;very low functional load&amp;quot;. The arrangement is roughly geographical.&lt;br /&gt;

== Sociolinguistics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Register ===&lt;br /&gt;
In many Indo-Aryan languages, the literary register is often more archaic and utilises a different lexicon (Sanskrit or Perso-Arabic) than spoken vernacular. One example is Bengali&#039;s high literary form, [[Sadhu bhasha|Sādhū bhāṣā]], as opposed to the more modern [[Calita bhasa|Calita bhāṣā]] (Cholito-bhasha).{{sfn|Masica|1991|p=57}} This distinction approaches [[diglossia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Language and dialect ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the context of South Asia, the choice between the appellations [[Language or dialect|&amp;quot;language&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;dialect&amp;quot;]] is a difficult one, and any distinction made using these terms is obscured by their ambiguity. In one general colloquial sense, a language is a &amp;quot;developed&amp;quot; dialect: one that is standardised, has a written tradition and enjoys [[Prestige (sociolinguistics)|social prestige]]. As there are degrees of development, the boundary between a language and a dialect thus defined is not clear-cut, and there is a large middle ground where assignment is contestable.&lt;br /&gt;
There is a second meaning of these terms, in which the distinction is drawn on the basis of linguistic similarity. Though seemingly a &amp;quot;proper&amp;quot; linguistics sense of the terms, it is still problematic: methods that have been proposed for quantifying difference (for example, based on [[mutual intelligibility]]) have not been seriously applied in practice; and any relationship established in this framework is relative.{{sfn|Masica|1991|pp=23–27}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Mullapudi Venkata Ramana was born in middle-class traditional family and his childhood mostly spent in a tiny village called [[Dowleswaram]] near [[Rajahmundry]], Andhra Pradesh. Mullapudi had one elder sister and a younger brother. It was a happy family with no troubles until his father expired when Mullapudi was 9 years old.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://telugu.greatandhra.com/mbs/nov2010/edharu_part3_1.php Ramana&#039;s stories by MBS Prasad]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This turned their status upside down and they shifted to [[Chennai]] (called [[Madras]] in those days) for better opportunities. Mullapudi&#039;s mother Mrs. Adilakshmi took all the pains to raise the family in such situation. Mullapudi&#039;s education and career happened in Madras. During his study days, he had shown penchant for literature in Telugu and inclination in writing up short, effective storylines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the same period, he got a good friend in [[Bapu (director)|&#039;Bapu&#039;]]. Their friendship was unconditional and mutually expending talents as Mullapudi is good at write-ups whereas Bapu is good at painting and caricature drawing. Soon they excelled in their talents and gave some of the most admirable Telugu films later in their life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Katha Ramaneeyam&#039; Part-1&#039;&#039; having around 40 stories off 8 chapters each of them representing one of Navarasams (Nine emotions each human has). Some of them were made Films later viz. Seetha Kalyanam, Bhogimanta, Swayamvaram etc..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Katha Ramaneeyam&#039; Part-2&#039;&#039; having about 45 stories some of which representing Indian middle-class&#039; tryst with life in hilarious way. While others pointing out the superstitions in our society, treatment of underprivileged in society which are definitely thought provoking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Runanandalahiri&#039;&#039; is representation of average Indians, leading life in the times of inflation, joblessness, less privileged society and their tryst with their lives&#039; problems. Mullapudi himself suffered such upsets in his life and even frank enough that some characters inspired from his own sufferings but dealt with in a humorous way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
After completing SSLC in Madras, Mullapudi had to do many odd jobs before starting as a reporter for then-popular newspaper &#039;&#039;[[Andhra Patrika]]&#039;&#039; in 1953.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://telugu.greatandhra.com/mbs/nov2010/vikra_part1.php Vikramarkudi marku simhasanam kathalu preview by MBS Prasad]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Here he got the opportunity to interact with eminent writers of Telugu literature like [[Nanduri Ramamohana Rao]], [[Pilaka Ganapati Sastri]], [[Surampudi Seetaram]] etc. who were working for the same newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sri. Mullapudi was first working for the &amp;quot;Daily&amp;quot; section of the newspaper and then shifted to &amp;quot;Weekly&amp;quot; section. While working here, his stories for children in the name of &#039;Budugu&#039; (lil kid) were published and became very popular. He authored these stories to present the views of the little kids off their elders in the family. These stories are humorous, informative, knowledgeable to children and at the same time helping the elderly to know the thought process of their kids. Later, these stories were published in the form of a book, which was well received.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While writing for the &amp;quot;Cinema Page&amp;quot; section in the paper, Mullapudi&#039;s short and crisp writing helped him to gain popularity for his film reviews. That was the same time when he got introduced to film industry and befriended the famous stars of film fraternity. He got introduced to some great directors of those times, Adurthi SubbaRao and Dundi, who encouraged him to work for films. &#039;&#039;RakthaSambandam&#039;&#039; was his first break as a writer; since then he never lagged in his progress as story, screenplay, dialogue writer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Films===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mullapudi&#039;s writing talent highlighted with his movie reviews and stories he wrote for films. Some of the initial films for story, screenplay dialogue &#039;&#039;Velugu needalu&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Kanney manasulu&#039;&#039; were runaway hits, that has kept Mullapudi in good stead. &#039;&#039;Mooga manasulu&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Bharya Bharthalu&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Velugu Needalu&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Teney manasulu&#039;&#039; have firmly established him as story writer. Some of these films had ANR (Akkineni NageswarRao) in the lead and their association brought their talent to the fore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, he became sought after film story writer and gave up his journalist job at &#039;&#039;Andhra Patrika&#039;&#039;. He partnered with his childhood friend Bapu and co-produced their first film &#039;&#039;Sakshi&#039;&#039; featuring actor Krishna which got accolades for its storyline and direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Bhakta Kannappa&#039;&#039; (great disciple of &#039;Lord Siva&#039;) with actor Krishnam Raju, who was till then doing villain roles, was a huge hit and gave him stardom. However, the milestone in his career is &#039;&#039;Sampurna Ramayanam&#039;&#039; (Ramayan epic) which featured Shoban Babu as Lord Rama turned out to be a major hit and is a masterpiece of Telugu films which is the best representation of the epic &#039;Ramayana&#039; till today. The music of this film is ever popular and is played in festivals and functions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Association with Bapu===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mullapudi&#039;s association with [[Bapu (director)|Bapu]] has a 60-year career plan. They first met in 1942 in P.S. High School, Madras where they studied V and VI level and then continued schooling at Kesari High School. Mullapudi&#039;s first short story &amp;quot;Amma Maata Vinakapothe&amp;quot; was published in 1945 in &#039;&#039;Bala&#039;&#039;, a children&#039;s magazine published by Radio Annayya (Nyayapathi Raghava Rao). He was 14 then. Bapu illustrated the story. His paintings were liked and that was the beginning of their long-standing association.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Bapu achieved much of his fame sticking to a subtle style of artistic elegance, Mullapudi announced his entry through a bunch of talkative characters, who try to make no sense out of the sensible world around them, because of their askew point of view. Beginning as an illustrator-story writer team and then turning into a film-director-writer duo, they have contributed immensely to the enrichment of Telugu cultural ethos through literature and cinema&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mullapudi provided an able foil, providing script/dialogue that suited Bapu&#039;s visuals and this celebrated friendship and professional association made some very meaningful social films that were decent hits like &#039;&#039;Radha Kalyanam&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Vamsa Vruksham&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Pelli Pustakam&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Mr. Pellam&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Sundarakanda&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Radhaagopalam&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;MuthyalaMuggu&#039;&#039; is one of the path-breaking films of yesteryear as the characters and story are even relevant today. This film launched Ravu Gopalarao in a negative role who soon became most sought-after actor in negative roles for next 20 years. The dialogues by Mullapudi were a runaway hit with all generations alike and popular even now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mullapudi translated the [[Thiruppavai]] written by the Tamil Vaishnavite saint [[Andal]] into Telugu as &#039;&#039;Melupalukula Melukolupu.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last=Nadadhur|first=Srivathsan|date=2019-12-27|title=Telugu touch to Thiruppavai goes digital|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/the-hindu-friday-review/article30413239.ece|issn=0971-751X}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This translation used Bapu&#039;s illustrations for each translated verse.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Television===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the years 1985–90, Mullapudi and Bapu made videos for school subjects for children on television. At the behest of then the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Dr. N.T RamaRao, Bapu-Ramana made these education videos which were aired by Doordarshan in Telugu were very popular. The same were later dubbed and aired by National Doordarshan. A.R. Rahaman, the present day music maestro, was then an upcoming drummer, providing background music for few of these videos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this millennium, the magic of the Bapu-Ramana combination provided their expertise for the mega mythology serial &#039;&#039;Bhagavatham&#039;&#039; on ETV. Etv Sri Bhagavatam serial cast : Arun Govil as Dasavatara and Maha Vishnu, Sunil Kumar Sharma as Rama and Krishna, Gargi Roy Chaudhury as Sita and Rukhmini, Sharmilee Raj as SatyaBhama and Bhudevi, Bhavana as Jambavati, Sana as Yashodha, AVS as Narada, etc.,. It was well received by audience and firmly scaled up TRPs for the channel. Also directed Sri Venkateswara Vaibhavam for SVBC-TTD Channel by Bapu Ramana with SaiKiran, Mounica, Ashmita.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Autobiography==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Kothi Kommachi&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Inkothi Kommachi&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Mukkothi Kommachi&#039;&#039; are Mullapudi&#039;s three-volume autobiography in books and audio forms. Just like the titles, the story keep hopping timelines and incidents. To put it in Mullapudi&#039;s own words, &amp;quot;it is like a monkey hopping from one branch to another branch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Awards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Mullapudis&#039; career has many faces – journalist, story teller, film critic, film story writer, dialogue writer and a popular film personality who represented a genre that produced the finest work in film arts, literature, journalism – many are dissatisfied that he has not been nominated for Padma awards, instituted by Government of India. His humble background and disinclination to associate with any political party could have been the reason for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, he received endless appreciation of the Telugu people for his excellent work and has made a respectable place in their hearts. He is one of those who kept the flag of Telugu pride flying high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* He was felicitated with [[Raghupathi Venkaiah Award]] for excellence in Films in 1986 instituted by the state of A.P.&lt;br /&gt;
* Received Honorary Doctorate awarded by Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati.&lt;br /&gt;

/ɤ/ only appears in the dialect in Myanmar.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis2017&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tones===&lt;br /&gt;
Khamti uses five tones, namely: low falling /21/, mid rising /34/, mid falling /42/, high falling /53/~[33], and high level /55/~[44].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis2017&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Grammar==&lt;br /&gt;
===Syntax===&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other Tai languages that display SVO word order, Khamti has SOV word order.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Wilaiwan Kanittanan. 1986. Kamti Tai: From an SVO to an SOV language. In Bhadriraju Krishnamurti (ed.), South Asian Languages: Structure, Convergence and Diglossia, 174-178. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nouns===&lt;br /&gt;
Nouns are divided into common nouns and proper nouns.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Inglis |first1=Douglas |title=Nominal Structure in Tai Khamti |date=2007 |website=www.academia.edu |url=https://www.academia.edu/35155172 |access-date=13 June 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Common nouns====&lt;br /&gt;
Common nouns can pluralized by adding {{tone superscript|/nai1 khau/}} behind the noun. Common nouns are class categorized by using classifiers such as the generic {{tone superscript|/an3/, /ko1/}} for people and {{tone superscript|/to1/}} for animals.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Proper nouns====&lt;br /&gt;
People&#039;s names and place names are classified as proper nouns. Khamti prefixes people&#039;s names, depending on the social class or status of that person. These prefixes are gender specific. The prefix for Miss is {{tone superscript|/na:ng4/}} and the prefix for Mr is {{tone superscript|/tsa:i3/}}. A prefix for Mr used to respectfully address a male of higher status is {{tone superscript|/tsau2/}} or {{tone superscript|/tsau2 nuai/}}.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pronouns===&lt;br /&gt;
Khamti uses a triparte pronoun system, consisting of singular, dual and plural forms. The dual form and the first person plural form are further divided between inclusive and exclusive forms. The following set of pronouns are the pronouns found in the Khamti language:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Demonstratives===&lt;br /&gt;
Khamti uses the following demonstratives:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;inglis&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;

| {{tone superscript|/amaeu4 nai1/}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&#039;that near you&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| {{tone superscript|/amaeu4 nai1 khau/}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&#039;those by you&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! distal&lt;br /&gt;
| {{tone superscript|/an3 pu:n nai1/}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&#039;that over there&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| {{tone superscript|/an3 pu:n nai1 nai1 khau/}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&#039;those over there&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Writing system==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Mon–Burmese script}}&lt;br /&gt;
The Tai Khamtis have their own writing system called &#039;Lik-Tai&#039;, which they share with the [[Tai Phake people]] and [[Tai Aiton people]].&amp;lt;ref name=diller/&amp;gt; It closely resembles the Northern [[Shan script]] of Myanmar, which is a variant of the [[Mon–Burmese script]], with some of the letters taking divergent shapes.&amp;lt;ref name=inglis2017/&amp;gt; Their script is evidently derived from the [[Lik Tho Ngok]] script since hundreds of years ago. There are 35 letters including 17 consonants and 14 vowels. The script is traditionally taught in monasteries on subjects like [[Tripitaka]], [[Jataka tales]], code of conduct, doctrines and philosophy, history, law codes, astrology, and palmistry etc. The first printed book was published in 1960. In 1992 it was edited by the Tai Literature Committee, Chongkham. In 2003 it was again modified with tone marking by scholars of Northern Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;

Yogesh Maitreya, in &#039;&#039;[[Firstpost]]&#039;&#039;, commended its effort to place Ambedkar’s work in the context of global resistance movements, such as the African-American struggle, but noted that some essays are limited by privileged perspectives that may not fully capture Dalit experiences.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Firstpost&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;[[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]]&#039;&#039; highlighted the book’s analysis of Ambedkar’s diverse roles as a philosopher, activist, and jurist.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;FinancialExpress&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;[[Deccan Chronicle]]&#039;&#039; emphasized Ambedkar’s role as a powerful advocate for equality, noting the book’s focus on his contributions to India’s Constitution.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DeccanChronicle&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Chinnaiah Jangam, in &#039;&#039;[[Economic and Political Weekly]]&#039;&#039;, praised the book for portraying Ambedkar as a philosopher who reshaped India’s social discourse.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;EPW&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Jangam |first= Chinnaiah|date=11 December 2021 |title=Ambedkar as Philosopher |url=https://www.epw.in/journal/2021/50/review-article/ambedkar-philosopher.html |access-date=21 May 2025 |journal=[[Economic and Political Weekly]] |volume=56 |issue=50}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A [[York University]] publication appreciated the book’s focus on three key moments in &#039;&#039;Annihilation of Caste&#039;&#039;, though it suggested a need for more Dalit-centered perspectives.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;York&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{more citations needed|date=December 2019}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Babur]], the founder of the [[Mughal dynasty]] conquered northern India in 1526, the wealth of the country already largely depended on foreign trade, exporting India&#039;s enormous production of many types of commodities,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Keay, 320-321&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in particular textiles.  These left India by land and by sea, the latter in relatively small ships making relatively short voyages from the east and west coasts, as they had done for centuries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Keay, 118-128&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By the time Indian commodities reached Western Europe, normally after passing through several intermediary traders, they were enormously expensive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 17th century the [[Mughal Empire]] ruling nearly all the subcontinent was still a confident superpower with huge military strength.  European countries wanted to access Indian goods, both processed natural products such as spices, and [[indigo]] dye, and manufactured products, above all textiles.  The Europeans tried to interest the Indian market in European products with very little success, apart from a small demand for furs and luxury products such as clocks for India&#039;s royal courts.  Europeans therefore needed to pay for their purchases with gold.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Attitude of the Mughal empire to the trade ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Portrait of a European.jpg|thumb|Portrait of a European painted by Mughal artists, Ca.1590]] &lt;br /&gt;
Contact between Western Europe and the Mughal Empire was put into practice at the very beginning of the 17th century. The Portuguese, English, and later on, the Dutch were the ones to trade with the Mughal Empire. As the first Islamic power on the Indian subcontinent, the Mughal empire was more interested in assimilating the land, studying the history, customs and religion of the people occupying this area, and communicating with the other two Islamic empires – the [[Safavid]] and the [[Ottoman Empire]]s. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mughal Empire had strong leaders, however, very different in approach and strategy. [[Akbar]] was known for his tolerance towards unorthodox Muslims and Hindus. The [[Akbarnama]], a book written by Abu’l Fazl on the life and rule of Akbar, gives a lot of evidence on how [[Hinduism]] was viewed and explained by the Muslims. Along with being tolerant towards his Hindu and Muslim subjects, Akbar welcomed Portuguese [[Jesuits]], which allowed Portugal to enter the trade with Indian goods. At the very end of his rule, the British, Dutch, and Portuguese started to trade with the Mughal Empire as well. Even though the trade started during the reign of Akbar the Great, his son [[Jahangir]] was the one to strengthen this economic activity in the Indian subcontinent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main agreements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The English and Dutch were granted 21-year permission of monopoly in the “[[East Indies]]”, which was followed by the retorted answer from the Indian kings – they encouraged the establishment of coastal posts for trade.  Half a century afterwards, the competition for trade in the [[Indian Ocean]] was increased by the establishment of the [[Louis XIV&#039;s East India Company| French East India Company]] in 1664. It followed [[Jean-Baptiste Colbert]]&#039;s doctrine of [[mercantilism]] that claimed to keep the national exports greater than the imports. As France&#039;s First Minister of State, he had enormous influence in directing this strategy.  In his Memorandum on English Alliances and Memorandum to the King on Finances written in 1669 and 1670 respectively, Jean-Baptiste Colbert defended his theory and tried to figure out a way to undercut the Dutch trade. This document gave evidence of the strength of the [[Netherlands]]’ trade in the 17th century not only in India but also in the [[Caribbean]]. Moreover, it gave the precise numbers of the Dutch superiority over both the British and the French – 15,000 to 16,000 vessels per year versus 3,000 to 4,000 for the British and 500 to 600 for the French. The British managed to increase the trade in textiles to 22.7 million square meters over a period of just twenty years. They did that in the same year that France intervened in the Indian trade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The implementation of trade on the local level in India and the various trading posts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trade in India was implemented mainly on the coast. During the 17th century there were two big Islamic empires between Western Europe and the Mughal Empire – the [[Safavid]] and the [[Ottoman Empire]]s – their trade was implemented only by ships. Therefore, the main ports were on the coast of both the [[Arabian Sea]] and the [[Bay of Bengal]] with the small exception of [[Calcutta]], located on the bank of the river [[Hooghly River|Hooghly]], yet still accessible by water. [[Bombay]] and [[Surat]] on the Arabian sea coast and [[Madras]] (today’s [[Chennai]]) or - as the British named it - [[Fort St. George]], were the four main locations of Indo-European trade during the 17th century. Trade as a tool for the Early World globalization was very prosperous and profitable for both the European and the Indian merchants. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sudden and completely unexpected collapse of Mughal power in a few years after the death of [[Aurangzeb]] in 1707 led to a very different situation in the following century, as local rulers formed autonomous or semiautonomous states. Eventually the European trading companies took part in Indian political conflicts and processes; by 1800 the British [[East India Company]] had become the most powerful force in the sub-continent. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Typical kangers measure approximately {{convert|6|in|cm}} in diameter and can reach temperatures of around {{convert|150|F|C}}. They are produced in various sizes, including smaller versions for children and larger ones for adults.&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kashmiri Kanger.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kashmiri Ornamental Kanger]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the earthen pots are moulded and fired, the artisans complete the [[wickerwork]] around them,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Symbolism of the East and West |url=https://archive.org/details/symbolismeastan00birdgoog |last=Murray-Aynsley |first=Harriet Georgiana Maria Manners-Sutton |author2=George Christopher Molesworth Birdwood |year=1900 |publisher=Redway |oclc=60177010 |page=208 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; by erecting two arms to handle the pot, propping the back side with strong wicker sticks, and colour it (optionally) to give an aesthetically delicate shape.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Basketry in India |last=Singh |first=Kumar Suresh |year=1993 |publisher=[[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)]] |oclc=30361817 |page=28 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
It is generally believed that Kashmiris learned the use of the &#039;&#039;kanger&#039;&#039; from the Italians who were in the retinue of the [[Mughal emperor]]s and usually visited the Valley during summer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Gazetteer of Kashmir and Ladak |author=India Quarter Master General&#039;s Dept. |year=1991 |publisher=Sang-e-Meel Publications |isbn=978-969-35-0104-9 |page=476 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In Italy (where a similar device was known as a &#039;&#039;[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scaldino scaldino]&#039;&#039;)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Central Asia |last=MacGregor |first=Charles Metcalfe |author2=F.

Historical data, however, contradict the claim that &#039;&#039;kanger&#039;&#039; came to Kashmir from Italy, but it is known that it was used in the time of the [[Mughal Empire]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Kashmir under the Mughals, 1586-1752 |last=Mattoo |first=A. Majid |year=1988 |publisher=Golden Horde Enterprises |oclc=19811895 |page=137 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Those visiting Kashmir for the first time during the winter season are surprised to find people carrying fire pots in their hands or in their laps&amp;lt;ref name=Vigne&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Travels in Kashmir, Ladak, Iskardo, the Countries Adjoining the Mountain-course of the Indus, and the Himalaya, North of the Panjab ...: With Map. |last=Vigne |first=G.

It is a part of Kashmiri tradition and even in modern times it sees a huge demand, and is even used in public or private offices during winters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current use==&lt;br /&gt;
Kanger are widely used in Kashmir. Its use is most prevalent in the countryside where power cuts during winters are frequent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Fayaz |first=Aiman |date=2023-12-24 |title=Video: Kashmir Kangri Survives The Modernity Shift, Still a Big Business |url=https://kashmirlife.net/video-kashmir-kangri-survives-the-modernity-shift-still-a-big-business-336201/ |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=Kashmir Life |language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Generally, everyone in the household has one. In some urban households, other devices, such as hot water bottles, blowers and electric blankets, have taken their place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aromatic seeds, such as isband ([[Peganum harmala]]), are often burnt in a kanger for ceremonial purposes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2007/20071202/spectrum/main3.htm |title= Warm up to kangri &lt;br /&gt;
|author= Rajesh Bhat |date= 2 December 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond Kashmir, people of the erstwhile Hill states of Himachal, Uttarakhand, and some parts of Nepal also use other local variants of kanger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, a shopkeeper in [[Srinagar]] commissioned a kanger, described as [[List of largest roadside attractions|the world&#039;s largest]], to attract customers to his textile shop. &#039;&#039;[[Kashmir Life]]&#039;&#039; reported that the size, over a metre long, posed technical challenges to the wicker-weavers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Aafaq|first1=Zafar|title=The &#039;Biggest Kanger&#039; and the Sales Thereof|url=http://www.kashmirlife.net/the-biggest-kanger-and-the-sales-thereof-94510/|access-date=10 November 2016|agency=KL NEWS NETWORK|publisher=Kashmir Life|date=17 January 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manufacturing ==&lt;br /&gt;
Kangeris are weaved by small scaled farmers known as kanile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Charari Sharief]] town is the most famous for a peculiar kind of kanger called &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;charar kangir&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. [[Anantnag]] is also another major producer. The sector is not organized but is covered under different government schemes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://m.greaterkashmir.com/news/business/in-line-with-cm-s-direction-jk-bank-launches-micro-finance-initiative-adopts-village-in-kulgam/235470.html|title=Greater Kashmir|last=Kashmir|first=Greater|date=6 December 2016|access-date=21 February 2019|archive-date=21 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190221000219/https://m.greaterkashmir.com/news/business/in-line-with-cm-s-direction-jk-bank-launches-micro-finance-initiative-adopts-village-in-kulgam/235470.html|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/2003/11/10/stories/2003111001730300.htm|website=[[The Hindu]]|title=Kangri under threat of extinction|date=2003-11-10|access-date=2019-02-21}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Popular culture==&lt;br /&gt;
This Kashmiri proverb, &amp;quot;what [[Layla and Majnun|Laila was on Majnun’s]] bosom (Legendary Lovers), so is the Kanger to a Kashmiri&amp;quot;, sums up the relationship between a Kashmiri and the Kanger and its cultural importance, which is also shown by this verse:&amp;lt;ref name=Vigne/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Ai kangri! ai kangri!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;You drive fear from my heart.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Medical hazards==&lt;br /&gt;
Regular use of the kanger can cause a specific skin cancer known as [[kangri cancer]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Cancer |last=Raven |first=Ronald William |year=1957 |publisher=Butterworth |oclc=2730378 |page=277 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This effect was first studied by W.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Tirusulam Railway Station&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the railway stations of the [[Chennai Beach]]–[[Chengalpattu]] section of the [[Chennai Suburban Railway Network]]. It serves the neighbourhood of [[Tirusulam]], a suburb of [[Chennai]] where the city&#039;s [[Chennai Airport|airport]] is located. It is located at a distance of {{cvt|21|km}} from Chennai Beach terminus and is situated on the [[GST Road]] across the airport, with an elevation of {{cvt|20|m}} above [[Mean sea level|sea level]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The station was opened in the year 1985.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} The station lies in the Chennai Beach–Tambaram section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network, the first suburban section of the city. With the completion of track-lying work in March 1931, which began in 1928, the suburban services were started on 11 May 1931 between Beach and Tambaram, and was electrified on 15 November 1931, with the first MG EMU services running on 1.5&amp;amp;nbsp;kV&amp;amp;nbsp;DC.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IRFCA_ElectricTraction1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web&lt;br /&gt;

==Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
The station has two suburban platforms and another [[island platform]] for long-distance mainline trains. Since mainline trains do not halt at the station, the island platform remains unused. The platform is 280&amp;amp;nbsp;m long and has been considered to be extended to 575&amp;amp;nbsp;m as there are plans to halt long-distance trains at the station.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news&lt;br /&gt;

The platforms are connected by [[Subway (underpass)|subways]]. These platforms are built to accumulate 24 coaches express train. The platforms are equipped with modern facility like display board of arrival and departure of trains. This is the first station and only till date that has subways to enter and exit the station. All other stations in Chennai have only foot overbridge. Initially, the subways were only up to G.S.T. road (station side). In 2006, the subway was extended inside the Thirusoolam airport complex.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Bapunagar&#039;&#039;&#039; is a neighbourhood in [[Ahmedabad]], Gujarat, India. It is in the eastern part of the city, in the Bpunagr ward. Its name derives from the word &#039;&#039;bapu&#039;&#039;, which refers to [[Gandhi]], who was popularly called &#039;&#039;bapu&#039;&#039;, or &#039;father&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bapunagar was established in the early 1960s as a residential area for the poor mill workers, when Ahmedabad was a flourishing textile centre. Many of these mills had closed by the late 1980s, reducing the now unemployed mill workers to home businesses, such as making incense sticks or candles. The present day detergent giant [[Nirma]] began as just one such home industry; the owner started by making household detergents and selling them door to door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Industry and business ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 1990s, diamond cutting arose as an industry in the absence of the [[textile mill]]s. At present, Bapunagar ranks second in India as a diamond cutting centre, after only [[Surat]]. Diamond cutting has absorbed many of the workers who used to be employed by textile mills, and attracted additional people from the [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra region]]. This influx of new residents caused a resultant increase in the housing sector and construction is causing a second more recent employment boom. Bapunagar Darpan is local bi-weekly newspaper operated from Bapunagar, [[Ahmedabad]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Landmarks ==&lt;br /&gt;
Maleksaban, or Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium, was the first sports stadium in Ahmedabad, but due to insufficient use and funding, it was converted into a sports complex, Sardar Patel Stadium. It is occasionally used for military drills and informal cricket games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Built in the 1450s, Malik Saban [[Rauza|Roza]] is now home to many. Encroachers have connected sandstone pillars with brick walls to demarcate their spaces, robbing the roza of its magnificent beauty.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=The Crying Roza |url=http://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&amp;amp;sectname=News%20-%20City&amp;amp;sectid=3&amp;amp;contentid=201011252010112502111831050180307 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202105913/http://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&amp;amp;sectname=News%20-%20City&amp;amp;sectid=3&amp;amp;contentid=201011252010112502111831050180307 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 February 2014 |access-date=25 November 2010 |newspaper=Ahmedabad Mirror }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vijay Chowk is a square which divides the old and new portions of Bapunagar, and serves as a site for political gatherings and speeches, particularly when election campaigns are underway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city also serves as a source of agricultural products such as mangoes and chilis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Diversity==&lt;br /&gt;
Bapunagar has a diverse population, but is nicknamed &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Mini-Saurashtra&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, as majority of its population have roots in the Amreli, Bhavnagar, Junagadh, Jamnagar and other districts of the Saurashtra region of Gujarat{{cn|date=February 2017}}. The area is considered communally sensitive and has witnessed some of the worst post-independence violence, primarily struggles between the Hindu majority and the Muslim minority. The [[1969 Gujarat riots|1969 riots]] were the worst riots of that period, with about 1,100 lives lost, and the [[2002 Gujarat violence|2002 riots]] also took about 300 lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The VHP leader [[Pravin Togadia]] started his professional as well as political career from here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bapunagar also has multi-specialty hospital units like Sardar Hospital and Kakadia Hospital. The ESIC (Employees State Insurance Corporation) hospital is situated on Stadium Road.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Rs. 126 crore centrally AC ESIC hospital opened in Ahmedabad| url=http://deshgujarat.com/2011/06/03/rs-126-crore-centrally-ac-esic-hospital-opened-in-ahmedabad/|access-date=3 June 2011|newspaper=Deshgujarat}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
