== Early life ==

The son of Kolinio Epeli Vanuacicila Rabuka and Salote Lomaloma Rabuka, Rabuka was raised in the village of Drekeniwai in eastern [[Viti Levu]], Fiji's largest island. He was educated at [[Queen Victoria School (Fiji)|Queen Victoria School]], where he became the head boy in his final year.

== Military career ==

Rabuka was trained initially in New Zealand army schools, from which he graduated in 1973, and completed a professional development course at [[Royal Military Academy Sandhurst]].<ref>{{cite news |date=15 May 1987 |title=Pitched Into A Coup |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/115374365/coup/ |work=[[The Guardian]] |location=London, United Kingdom |page=32 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> He did postgraduate work at the [[Defence Services Staff College|Indian Defence Services Staff College]] in 1979, and at the Australian Joint Services Staff College in 1982.<ref name="Britannica">{{cite book |date=1988 |title=Britannica Book of the Year |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uXCOCnrJkbYC&q=%22He+attended+the+Indian+Armed+Forces+Staff+College+(+1979+)+and+then+Australia%27s%22 |location=Chicago, IL |publisher=Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. |page=79 |isbn=978-0-8522-9486-4 |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref> He was a senior operation plans manager for [[UNIFIL]] peacekeeping troops in [[Lebanon]] in 1980 and 1981.<ref>{{cite news |last=Cava |first=Litia |date=28 May 2017 |title=Rabuka commends Fiji's UN peacekeepers |url=https://www.fijitimes.com/rabuka-commends-fijis-un-peacekeepers/ |work=[[Fiji Times]] |location=Suva, Fiji}}</ref> On his return home, he was appointed Army chief of staff.

For his service in Lebanon, Rabuka was awarded the [[Legion of Honour]] in 1980, and was made an Officer of the [[Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire|Order of the British Empire]] by Queen [[Elizabeth II]] in the [[1981 Birthday Honours]] List.<ref>http://www.saxton.com.au/sitiveni-rabuka/"He was awarded the French Legion D'Honneur for bravery by the French Government for saving a French officer during an attack on the UN Headquarters in Lebanon in 1980."</ref><ref>http://www.saxton.com.au/sitiveni-rabuka/" For outstanding leadership in Lebanon, Rabuka was awarded the OBE (Military Division) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 1981."</ref>

=== 1987 Fijian coups d'état ===

{{main|1987 Fijian coups d'état}}

Rabuka, by now a [[colonel]], emerged suddenly from obscurity on 14 May 1987 when he staged the first of two military coups, allegedly to reassert [[Fijians|ethnic Fijian]] supremacy, following the [[1987 Fijian general election|1987 election]], which had brought to power an ethnic Fijian-led government in which half the ministers were [[Indians in Fiji|Indo-Fijian]] (ethnic Indian). Deposing the elected government, he handed power over to the governor-general, [[Penaia Ganilau]], a [[Ratu|high chief]] whom he expected to implement ethnic Fijian interests. When, however, Ganilau attempted to reinstate the abrogated constitution, Rabuka carried out a second coup on 28 September that year. At first he pledged his allegiance to the [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen]], but on 7 October he issued a decree (Declaration – Republic of Fiji Decree 1987 No. 8)<ref>{{cite web|title=Coup Hanger-on Alipate Qetaki replaced at NLTB|url=http://www.fijileaks.com/home/coup-hanger-on-alipate-qetaki-replaced-at-nltb-what-next-for-rabuka-bainimarama-henchman-remember-he-became-a-g-in-rabukas-post-1987-coup-and-resurfaced-in-same-role-after-the-george-speight-coup|website=Fijileaks|access-date=5 October 2015}}</ref> proclaiming a republic, abolishing the 113-year link to the [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|British Monarchy]]. He handed over power on 5 December to an interim administration, headed by Ganilau as [[President of Fiji|President]] and Ratu Sir [[Kamisese Mara]] as prime minister, but remained Commander of the [[Republic of Fiji Military Forces|Army]] and Minister of Home Affairs, the National Youth Service, and the Auxiliary Army Service. Ganilau and Mara did not feel strong enough to dismiss Rabuka, but the public support they enjoyed as high chiefs was such that he did not feel strong enough to depose them. An uneasy truce existed between Ganilau and Mara on the one hand and Rabuka on the other.

During the time of the coup, Rabuka was sometimes referred to in the press as "Colonel Steve Rambo."{{citation needed|date=July 2025}}

In 2006, Rabuka finally apologised for having executed the coups. [[Fiji Live]] reported on 28 March that Rabuka had told India's Ahmedabad Newsline, while visiting India for medical treatment, that he regretted his role in the coups, which he described as "democratically wrong".<ref>[https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/161122/fiji's-svt-party-says-office-break-in-was-political Fiji's SVT party says office break-in was political], [[Radio New Zealand International]], 28 March 2006</ref>

== Political career ==

=== Prime Minister of Fiji (1992–1999) ===
In April 1991 Rabuka resigned as commander of the armed forces in order join the cabinet of [[Kamisese Mara]] as one of the [[Deputy Prime Minister of Fiji|Deputy Prime Ministers]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Refugees |first1=United Nations High Commissioner for |title=Refworld {{!}} Chronology for Fijians in Fiji |url=https://www.refworld.org/docid/469f388924.html |website=Refworld |language=en}}</ref> Following the adoption in 1990 of a new constitution that guaranteed ethnic Fijian domination of the political system, Rabuka was chosen to lead the newly formed [[Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei]] in 1991. This party won the [[1992 Fijian general election|parliamentary election]] of 1992 and Rabuka became [[Prime Minister of Fiji|Prime Minister]]. His government was weakened from the outset, however, by a leadership challenge by former Finance Minister Josefata Kamikamica. In 1994, Kamikamica left the party with five of his supporters, depriving Rabuka of a parliamentary majority. A [[1994 Fijian general election|parliamentary election]] to resolve the impasse was held three years early; the Fijian Political Party won a plurality but fell two seats short of an absolute majority in the 70-member [[House of Representatives of Fiji|House of Representatives]]. Rabuka formed a coalition with the small General Voters Party, a small party supported almost entirely by [[general electors]], who comprised Europeans, Chinese, and other minorities. He also agreed to negotiate with moderate leaders of the Indo-Fijian community to draft a controversial new [[1997 Constitution of Fiji|Constitution]], which removed most of the provisions that had biased the political system in favour of indigenous Fijians.

The [[1999 Fijian general election|elections of 1999]] were the first in many years to see real competition between ethnic Fijians and Indo-Fijians for power. Rabuka lost these elections, and was replaced by [[Mahendra Chaudhry]], the first Indo-Fijian Prime Minister.

=== 2000 Fijian coup d'état ===
Following his electoral defeat, Rabuka was elected [[Chairman of the Great Council of Chiefs]]. He was forced to relinquish this post in 2001, however, in the wake of allegations made against him by former President Ratu Sir [[Kamisese Mara]] of complicity in the [[2000 Fijian coup d'état|Fiji coup of 2000]], which deposed both Mara and the Indo-Fijian Prime Minister, [[Mahendra Chaudhry]], on 19 May 2000. Claiming that the coup leader [[George Speight]] – who was then in custody and was later convicted of treason – was only a front, Mara appeared on the ''Close-Up'' television program on 30 April 2001 and revealed that on 21 May 2000, two days after the coup, he had confronted Rabuka and [[Isikia Savua]], the police chief, about their possible involvement in it. "I could see it in their faces," Mara declared. Ratu Mara told the programme that within half an hour of Speight's forcible occupation of the Parliament, Rabuka had telephoned Government House (the official residence of the President) to offer to form a government. He further alleged that the [[Counter Revolutionary Warfare Unit]] of the [[Republic of Fiji Military Forces|Army]] had been involved in the coup after receiving training on a farm owned by Rabuka.

In an interview with [[Fiji's Daily Post]] on 2 July 2001, Rabuka angrily denied the allegations, saying that they were the ravings of "an angry old man" and "very unbecoming of a national leader and of a statesman." The charges, however, were repeated on the floor of the [[Senate of Fiji|Senate]] on 23 October 2004 by Adi [[Koila Nailatikau]], Mara's daughter.

Former Attorney-General Sir [[Vijay R. Singh|Vijay Singh]] published a [[memoir]] in 2006, supporting the allegations against Rabuka. [[Fiji Village]] quoted Singh on 18 August 2006 as saying, at the launch of his memoir, ''"Speaking Out"'', that Rabuka had told him personally that he was one of the ring-leaders and that real target of the coup was not the Chaudhry government, but Ratu Mara, and that Mara had voiced his own suspicions about Rabuka to Singh. "On Monday (following the Friday coup) I had a telephone conversation with the President Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara. He had no doubts that it was Mr Sitiveni Rabuka and Mr [[Isikia Savua]]", the then Commissioner of Police "who had organised the miserable affair at parliamentary complex," Singh said. Rabuka refused to comment on Singh's allegations, citing [[sub judice]].

=== Alleged role in 2000 mutiny ===

{{BLP unreferenced section|date= April 2018}}
Rabuka was also accused of instigating or supporting [[Mutinies of the 2000 Fijian coup d'état|the mutiny]] that took place at [[Suva]]'s [[Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Suva|Queen Elizabeth Barracks]] on 2 November 2000. In an interview with the ''[[Fiji Times]]'' on 12 November 2000, the Military Commander, Commodore [[Frank Bainimarama]] charged that while the revolt was in progress, Rabuka had visited the barracks with his army uniform in the car, ready to take over command of the army. He also allegedly started issuing orders to soldiers. "Rabuka's words to one of my colonels at the height of the shootings raised my suspicions," Bainimarama said. "He said the Colonel should listen to his instructions. He also criticised my leadership." Bainimarama accused Rabuka of leading soldiers astray by using "confusing" and "deceiving" words.

Bainimarama also accused Rabuka of having "politicised" the Counter Revolutionary Warfare (CRW) unit, which he (Rabuka) had founded as a bodyguard in 1987, to favour both the mutiny and the earlier [[2000 Fijian coup d'état|takeover of parliament]] in May. Members of the CRW were involved in both the May coup and the November mutiny.

Bainimarama's version was supported by Lieutenant Colonel [[Viliame Seruvakula]], who led the counteroffensive to put down the mutiny. On 13 November 2000, he said that rebels interrogated by the military had implicated Rabuka. He accused Rabuka of trying to take civilians into the barracks to act as human shields for the mutineers, and stated that Rabuka's intention was to "claim military leadership and ultimately overthrow the Government of the day."

Rabuka, a retired officer, denied supporting the mutiny, but refused to comment on an accusation from Bainimarama that he had called a meeting of senior officers loyal to him to depose Bainimarama.

=== 2006 arrest ===

Rabuka's denials of the allegations against him did not end the controversy. On 14 May 2005, ''[[The New Zealand Herald]]'' reported in its ''[[Weekend Herald]]'' edition that the Fiji police force was close to making a decision on whether to charge certain unnamed individuals, one of whom the ''Herald'' believed to be Rabuka.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}} The report quoted Police Commissioner [[Andrew Hughes (police)|Andrew Hughes]] as saying that a major hindrance to their investigation was a "cone of silence" among the close associates of the suspects.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}}

Rabuka was arrested on 11 May 2006 on charges of inciting Lieutenant Colonel [[Viliame Seruvakula]] to commit [[Mutinies of the 2000 Fijian coup d'état|a military mutiny]] on 2 November 2000, in the aftermath of the [[2000 Fijian coup d'état|2000 coup]].{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}} He was alleged to have approached Seruvakula back on 4 July that year, with a view to overthrowing the Military Commander, Commodore [[Frank Bainimarama]]. He entered no plea, was released on $F 1000 bail, and was required to surrender his passport. He was ordered to report to the [[Namadi]] police station between 6 am and 6 pm every Monday and Saturday, and was warned not to try to influence any witnesses, according to a [[Fiji Live]] report. It was announced on 17 June that at the request of the Director of Prosecutions, the case had been transferred to the [[High Court of Fiji|High Court]] due to the serious nature of the charge.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}}

Rabuka appeared in the High Court on 30 June and pleaded not guilty, ''[[Fiji Village]]'' reported. The trial was set for 20 October, but this was later changed to 6 November.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}}

''Fiji Village'' reported on 6 September that Rabuka had been refused permission to travel to [[Papua New Guinea]] for a golf tournament.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}} Judge Gerard Winter ruled that the charges against Rabuka were serious and that he must not be allowed to abscond. Permission to leave Fiji would therefore be granted for medical emergencies only; the golf tournament did not qualify, he declared.{{Citation needed|date= April 2018}}

On 11 December 2006, Rabuka was found not guilty on two counts of inciting a mutiny. The judge cast a deciding vote after the panel of assessors was split.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200612/s1809005.htm |title=Rabuka not guilty of mutiny |publisher=ABC |date=11 December 2006 |access-date=20 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070127194233/http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200612/s1809005.htm |archive-date=27 January 2007 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== 2006 parliamentary election ===

In early 2005, Rabuka ruled himself out of contesting the [[2006 Fijian general election|2006 parliamentary election]], but on 7 May said he was reconsidering, following appeals from Fijian businessmen and former politicians to be part of a move to unite all ethnically Fijian parties in a joint ticket to contest the next election. "I am genuinely interested because I have always been for Fijian unity," he said. He has stressed that he believes that political unity among indigenous Fijians is essential to prevent the election of an Indo-Fijian dominated government in 2006. He admitted, however, that he was seen as "a stumbling block" by many, but added, "I want to change all that." On 29 May, he said that political unity among the Fijian people should not be looked at half-heartedly as a possibility but wholeheartedly as a need. He accused Prime Minister [[Laisenia Qarase]], who has also called for unity among ethnic Fijians, of hypocrisy, saying that in the 1990s there was only one mainstream Fijian party, but that others had split from it and founded numerous competing groups. Qarase and his [[Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua]] (SDL) were implied to be among those responsible for the disunity.

On 21 August, Rabuka said he was of the opinion that Prime Ministers defeated at the polls should not stand again. Former Prime Ministers remaining politically active led to instability, he said, pointing to recent political upheavals in [[Vanuatu]] and the [[Solomon Islands]] as examples. "It is healthy for party leaders who become prime ministers after being defeated at general elections to take the responsibility for the defeat and bow out of active politics and just become an adviser or remain as a party supporter but not in the front seat running for another election."

On 19 October, Rabuka said that the current parliamentary team representing [[Cakaudrove Province|Cakaudrove]] enjoyed his full support. He said he would follow the will of the people, however, in deciding whether or not to contest the 2006 elections. Current members of Parliament from Cakaudrove include Ratu [[Naiqama Lalabalavu]], the paramount chief of the Tovata Confederacy, [[Manasa Tugia]], and [[Niko Nawaikula]].

Despite his role in the formation (30 July 2005) of the [[Grand Coalition for Fiji]], an electoral pact of five political parties supported mostly by indigenous Fijians, to contest the 2006 elections, Rabuka expressed doubts about its workability on 27 December. Public feuding threatened to derail the project, he warned. The recent attack on the 1997 [[1997 Constitution of Fiji|Constitution]] by [[Nationalist Vanua Tako Lavo Party (Fiji)|Nationalist Vanua Tako Lavo Party]] leader [[Iliesa Duvuloco]] had upset him, he said.

At the same time, Rabuka said that another coup would be unlikely and that given the disunity among indigenous Fijians, attitudes towards a non-indigenous Prime Minister would not matter. The multi-party Cabinet provisions of the Constitution could not be implemented if either the SDL or the [[Fiji Labour Party]] (FLP) won the election, he said; if the two parties found the provision unworkable, they should have amended the Constitution and had had five years in which to do so.

On 7 February 2006, Rabuka said that he was still considering whether to contest the forthcoming elections. He thought it "unwise", without elaborating, to contest seats in his native [[Cakaudrove Province|Cakaudrove]], or those held by members of the Grand Coalition, and might contest only if an urban [[Open constituencies|open constituency]] was available. He considered, however, that given his length of time out of politics, making a comeback would be difficult. He also called for all political parties to be, and be seen to be, representing all ethnic groups. Otherwise, the racial faultline in Fijian politics would not be overcome, he said.

In the end, Rabuka decided not to contest the election, and his party fielded only one candidate.

=== 2006 Fijian coup d'état ===

The [[Fiji Times]] reported on 15 December 2006 that Rabuka stated that he saw no possibility that [[Laisenia Qarase]], deposed as Prime Minister in a [[2006 Fijian coup d'état]] on 5 December, would return to power. He denied supporting the coup, but said that Qarase, along with deposed President Ratu [[Josefa Iloilo]], were weak leaders who had done nothing to forestall the coup by negotiating with the Military while there was still time. Qarase should have seen the coup coming, Rabuka said.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=53582 |title=Fiji's Qarase is finished, says Rabuka |work=Fiji Times |date=15 December 2006 |access-date=20 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070114124701/http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=53582 |archive-date=14 January 2007}}</ref>

Following the coup, he criticised Bainimarama's refusal to hold elections, saying it was because Bainimarama wanted to "[keep] away from the role of governing, people and groups he has pre-determined should not govern."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=102473 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081003115839/http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=102473 |archive-date=3 October 2008 |title=Truth, lies and elections |work=Fiji Times |author=Sitiveni Rabuka |date=3 October 2008 |access-date=20 November 2018}}</ref>

=== 2014 parliamentary election ===

Rabuka mostly kept a low profile after the 2006 coup. In June 2013 however, he came out and said that he would consider running in the proposed [[2014 Fijian general election|2014 national elections]], if they went ahead.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.3news.co.nz/Sitiveni-Rabuka-ready-to-re-enter-politics/tabid/1682/articleID/303236/Default.aspx |title=Sitiveni Rabuka ready to reenter politics {{!}} General {{!}} 3 News |access-date=1 September 2013 |archive-date=1 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131101065915/http://www.3news.co.nz/Sitiveni-Rabuka-ready-to-re-enter-politics/tabid/1682/articleID/303236/Default.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> He sought the leadership of the newly formed [[Social Democratic Liberal Party]] (SoDelPa), the successor party to former Prime Minister Qarase's ''[[Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua]]'' (SDL), which the Military-backed interim government had dissolved, but was rebuffed after he said that he had no regrets about the 1987 coups.

Rabuka won 77,040 votes in the election, gaining a seat in parliament. In a post-election interview, he said that it was unfortunate that the leaders of the two main parties were coup-leaders and that there needed to be "a move away from coup profiled people".<ref>{{cite web |date=19 November 2018 |title=Fiji's coup politicians should quit – Rabuka |url=https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/376271/fiji-s-coup-politicians-should-quit-rabuka |access-date=20 November 2018 |publisher=RNZI}}</ref>

On 26 May 2020, Sodelpa had been suspended for the breach of the Political Parties Act for 60 days effective immediately. All appointees have been declared null and void, and now have 60 days to rectify all issues or face deregistration. Thus, Rabuka can not represent himself as the leader of Sodelpa after the registrar declared the party suspension. On 29 June 2020, Sodelpa suspension was lifted.<ref>{{cite web |date=26 May 2020 |title=SODELPA suspended for 60 days for breach |work=Fiji Broadcasting Corporation |url=https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/politics/sodelpa-suspended-for-60-days-for-breach/ |access-date=26 May 2020 |publisher=FBC |archive-date=25 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225172835/https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/politics/sodelpa-suspended-for-60-days-for-breach/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== 2020 SODELPA leadership contest ===

On 27 November 2020, Rabuka was ousted as SODELPA leader in a leadership contest. There was speculation that Rabuka would form a new party after his ousting as leader, however he later denied that he would form a new party and would continue to support SODELPA. Gavoka was formally recognised as SODELPA leader on 28 November during the party's AGM meeting. Prominent lawyer Filimoni Vosarogo was chosen as the new Deputy Leader. 21 members of the SODELPA Management Board voted for Gavoka while 20 members voted for Rabuka. The party's caucus was said to be evenly divided over whether the leadership change was the correct course of action.<ref>{{cite news |last=Narayan |first=Vijay |date=27 November 2020 |title=Gavoka will be next SODELPA Leader Vosarogo is Deputy Leader |url=https://www.fijivillage.com/news/-Reports-confirm-that-Gavoka-will-be-next-SODELPA-Leader-48rx5f/ |access-date=28 November 2020}}</ref>

In 2013, he was suspended by [[Samajwadi Party]], national president [[Akhilesh Yadav|Akhilesh yadav]] for anti party activities.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-08-28|title=SP suspends dance bar MLA, 2 others|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/353822/sp-suspends-dance-bar-mla.html|access-date=2022-01-04|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2013-08-28|title=UP: Akhilesh finally gets tough on errant leaders, suspends 3 MLAs for anti-party activities|url=https://www.news18.com/news/politics/sp-mla-call-girls-up-min-son-635025.html|access-date=2022-01-04|website=News18|language=en}}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Akela was born in an extremely poor [[Dalit]] family. Due to extreme poverty, every member of the Akela family performed labour in order to survive and fight poverty. Akela got his primary education in a primary school of his village.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}}

==Career==

After completing his higher education, he worked as an assembly operator in Indian telephone industries. Possessing a high degree of leadership capability, Akela was also selected as the union secretary of ITI.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}}

==Ambedkar Samajotthan Mission==

During his service period in ITI, Akela laid the foundation of Ambedkar Samajotthan Mission in 1980 in order to help Dalits.

==Leadership==

Inspired by the works of Indira Gandhi, Akela took the membership of the Indian National Congress in 1982. Influenced by his capabilities, the party appointed him as the chairman of the SC/ST Community of Uttar Pradesh.

Despite his numerous works, he did not receive the desired motivation and respect, after which he left the congress in 1991. He then acquired the membership of Samajwadi party and was made the general secretary of Raebareli district. In 1993, Akela contested the election from Bachhrawan legislative assembly against sitting MLA of Congress Rajaram Tyagi, but lost by a minor difference of 3000 votes.

Influenced by Akela's stamina, Samajwadi Party president at the time, Mulayam Singh Yadav, gave him the ticket from the legislative assembly of Bachhrawan in 2002. This time Akela won by defeating the Congress MLA who contested against him. But again in 2007, he lost the legislative assembly election with a minute difference in votes. Consecutively, third time, in 2012 Akela was made the Samajwadi Party contestant by Mulayam Singh Yadav. Akela proved to be a winner again by acquiring a huge number of votes. Overjoyed by the victory in the region over Congress, CM Akhilesh Yadav awarded Ramlal Akela with the post of chairman of the S.C./S.T. Community in Uttar Pradesh.

How Indian women's are suffering in the society, by the hands of Men. Condition of women is desolate and distraught, just living under the shadow of man. Karan's poetry shows not only the plight of Indian women but of the women in Asia and Africa (the third world) as well. His poetry successfully tells us about the half world (aka second sex) is not independent anywhere. They are bound by law not of government but of men. Poems written on women's by Karan can indisputably become a part of World women's poetry. Karan is very well respected among the intellectual, and his work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets of his generation.

Anil Ravipudi penned the dialogues and Gautham Raju handled the editing department. The film is inspired from [[Yamudiki Mogudu (1988 film)|''Yamudiki Mogudu'']]. The movie was a semihit at box office.

==Plot==
The film's story is similar to fantasy films like ''[[Yamagola]]'', ''[[Yamudiki Mogudu (1988 film)|Yamudiki Mogudu]]'', ''[[Yamaleela]]'', and ''[[Yamadonga]]''.

Bullet Raja ([[Ravi Teja]]) is a small-time crook with a good heart. He bumps into Swetha ([[Taapsee Pannu|Taapsee]]) at a function and falls in love with her, but she is already engaged to Harbour Babu ([[Sushant Singh]]), a powerful local goon. One day, using Swetha's dance master Vidya Balan ([[Brahmanandam]]), Raja and Swetha manage to run away from Babu to reach a hilltop, but Babu tracks them down and is severely beaten by Raja. At the last moment, Babu uses his [[Mahindra Scorpio|Scorpio]] car to hit Raja off the hilltop. Raja clings on to a branch growing on the hill but slips off it and falls down, yet still manages to survive. Just then, Chitragupta ([[M. S. Narayana]]) changes the story, and the car that was stuck on the edge of the hill falls down on top of Raja, and as he was crushed. The Scorpio car blasts, thus killing him.

Raja heads to Yamalokam, where he realizes that his life has unjustly been terminated by Chitragupta, and so he picks up a fight with Yamadharma Raja ([[Prabhu (actor)|Prabhu]]). A helpless Yama gives Bullet Raja three options. Either he could be a [[China|Chinese]] warrior who was to die two days later, a [[terrorist]] who also has the same life span, or greedy, evil, and corrupt [[Home Minister]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]], Ravindra (Ravi Teja), who decides to turn over a new leaf after he realizes the affection and support that the public has for him, but he is killed by his associates Balram ([[Sayaji Shinde]]), Shantaram ([[Avinash Yelandur|Avinash]]), and Pavitrananda ([[Raghu Babu]]). Thus, Raja decides to enter Ravindra, who seemed the most normal among them. After Raja enters into Ravindra's body, he beats up Ravindra's assassins and kills them with the help of Yamakinkaras (servants of the lord Yama), Deceives Shantaram, Balaram and Pavitrananda by usurping their assets and throwing them behind bars and reforms the political ecosystem of the ruling party. The trio (Shantaram, Balaram and Pavitrananda) receive bail with the help of Harbour Babu and try to kill Ravindra (Raja), but the trio gets reformed due to the social welfare conducted by Ravindra (Raja) with their confiscated assets. Harbour Babu gets arrested, and when Ravindra (Raja) was about to get home he was shot by a labourer (who was not able to receive justice due to some mishap when Ravindra was alive). Ravindra (Raja) survives due to his good deeds, which he did from the beginning. Ravindra (Raja) gets blessings from Lord Yama as he did the righteous job by supporting the people.

The movie met with negative reviews, however Ravi Teja's Performance received praise. [[Rediff.com|Rediff]] gave a review stating "Daruvu may be lapped up by Ravi Teja fans but others may find it pretty dreary.

[[File:Silk Letter Movement - India Stamp 2013.jpg|thumb|Stamp from 2013 commemorating the Movement.]]
The '''Silk Letter Movement''' ('Tehreek-e-Reshmi Rumal') was a movement organised by [[Deobandi]] leaders between 1913 and 1920, aimed at gaining Indian independence from [[British Raj|British rule]] by forming an alliance with the [[Ottoman Empire]], the [[Emirate of Afghanistan]] and the [[German Empire]]. This plot was uncovered by the [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]] [[Criminal Investigation Department|CID]] with the capture of letters from [[Ubaidullah Sindhi]], one of the Deobandi leaders then in [[Emirate of Afghanistan|Afghanistan]], to [[Mahmud Hasan Deobandi]], another leader then in Hejaz. The letters were written on [[silk]] cloth, hence the name.<ref name=Qureshi>Pan-Islam in British Indian Politics: A Study of the Khilafat Movement, 1918-1924.(Social, Economic and Political Studies of the Middle East and Asia).

He returned to India in April 1916 with Ghalib Nama (Silk Letter) which he showed to freedom fighters in India and the autonomous areas, and then took to Kabul where he arrived in June 1916.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.darululoom-deoband.com/urdu/books/tmp/1388990860%20Silk%20Letter%20Movement.pdf |title= Silken Letters Movement|date=2012 |website=darululoom-deoband.com |access-date=2021-03-31}}</ref>

With the onset of [[World War I]], [[Ubaidullah Sindhi]] and [[Mahmud Hasan Deobandi|Mehmud Hasan]] (principal of the [[Darul Uloom Deoband]]) had travelled to Kabul and Hejaz respectively in October 1915 with plans to initiate a Muslim insurrection in the tribal belt of India. For this purpose, Ubaid'Allah was to propose that the [[Habibullah Khan|Amir of Afghanistan]] declare war on [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Britain]], while Mahmud al Hasan sought German and Turkish help. Hasan proceeded to the [[Hejaz Vilayet]]. Ubaid Allah, in the meantime, was able to establish friendly relations with Amir. As the plans unfolded in what came to be called the Silk Letter Movement, [[Ubaidullah Sindhi|Ubaid'Allah]] was able to establish friendly relations with Amir. At Kabul, [[Ubaidullah Sindhi|Ubaid'Allah]], along with some students who had preceded him to [[Ottoman Empire|Turkey]] to join the [[Caliph]]'s "''[[Jihad]]''" against Britain, decided that the pan-Islamic cause would be best served by focussing on the [[Indian Freedom Movement]].<ref>{{harvnb|Ansari|1986|p=515}}</ref>

The [[Berlin Committee|Berlin-Indian Committee]] (which became the ''Indian Independence Committee'' after 1915) also produced an [[Niedermayer-Hentig mission|Indo-German-Turkish mission]] to the Indo-Iranian border, with the purpose of encouraging the local tribes to attack British interests.<ref>{{harvnb|Ansari|1986|p=514}}</ref><ref name=Strachan788>{{Harvnb|Strachan|2001|p=788}}</ref> This group met the Deobandis in Kabul in December 1915. The mission, along with bringing members of the Indian movement right to India's border, also brought messages from the [[Kaiser]], [[Enver Pasha]] and Abbas Hilmi, the displaced [[Khedive]] of Egypt, expressing support for Pratap's mission and inviting the Amir to move against British India<ref name=Sims-Williams120>{{Harvnb|Sims-Williams|1980|p=120}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Seidt|2001|p=1,3}}</ref>

The mission's immediate aim was to rally the Amir against [[British India]]<ref name=Sims-Williams120/> and to obtain from the Afghan Government a right of free passage.<ref name=Ansari516>{{harvnb|Ansari|1986|p=516}}</ref> But after the leakage of the plan, the top Deobandi leaders were arrested – [[Mahmud Hasan Deobandi|Mahmud Hasan]] was arrested in Makkah and together with [[Hussain Ahmad Madani|Husayn Ahmad]], was exiled to Malta, later being released on account of advanced [[Tuberculosis|T.B]].

== Prison of Malta ==
Maulana Hakim Saiyed Nusrat Hussain,<ref>Safarnama Asir-i-Malta, by Hadrat Madani</ref> a freedom fighter, was arrested in 1917 by the British along with Sheikh-ul-Hind Mahmood Hasan Deobandi during the Silk Letter Movement and imprisoned in Malta Jail.<ref>{{cite web | title=Where were Indian Muslim scholars interned in Malta? | date=18 July 2019 | url=https://www.basair.net/where-were-indian-muslim-scholars-interned-in-malta/# }}</ref> He was the only one among the group who died in prison, earning him the title "Shaheed-e-Malta". The remaining companions—Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madani, Maulana Waheed Ahmad Madani, and Maulana Uzair Gul Peshawari—were known as "Aseerān-e-Malta" (Prisoners of Malta)

[[Geography of Nepal|Geographically, Nepal]] is a mountainous region. When heavy rains occur in the mountains of central and eastern Nepal the water flows into the major drainages of the [[Gandaki River|Narayani]], [[Bagmati]], and [[Koshi river|Koshi]] rivers. As these rivers cross into India they break their banks and flood the plains and lowlands of Bihar. To protect the Koshi River's embankments as well as the [[Koshi Barrage]], or sluice gates, Indian engineers who are in charge of the dam in Nepal, open the sluice gates, which can cause flooding downriver in Bihar. In 2008, during a high-flow episode, a breach in the East Koshi afflux embankment, above the barrage, occurred and the Koshi river, known as the Sorrow of Bihar, found an old channel, near the border with Nepal and India, it had abandoned over 100 years previously. Approximately 15 million people were affected as the river broke its embankment at Kusaha in Nepal, submerging several districts of Nepal and India. 95% of the Koshi's total flowed through the new course.

===Embankments===
A recent fact-finding report on the [[Koshi river|Kosi]] floods of 2008 – prepared by a civilian organization, the Fact Finding Mission on the Kosi, composed of various experts such as Sudhirendar Sharma, [[Dinesh Kumar Mishra]], and Gopal Krishna – highlighted the fact that although India has built over 3000 km of [[Levee|embankments]] in [[Bihar]] over the last few decades, the propensity for flooding has increased by 2.5 times during the same time period, mention that embankments failed during each major flooding event.<ref name="Sharma–Krishna 2008">{{cite book |last1=Sharma |first1=Sudhirendar |last2=Krishna |first2=Gopal |title=Kosi Deluge – the Worst is Still to Come: the Report of the Fact Finding Mission on the Kosi |date=2008 |location=New Delhi |publisher=Ashoka Fellowship Initiative |oclc=649085026}}</ref>

The report, titled ''Kosi Deluge: The Worst is Still to Come'', stressed that embankments straitjacket the river. In the case of the Kosi, it found that because of [[siltation]] the river bed had risen several feet in relation to the adjoining land. The high and low lands separated by embankments have created a situation where the lowlands have become permanently waterlogged. Sixteen per cent of the land mass of north Biharis permanently waterlogged.<ref name="Sharma–Krishna 2008" />

In 1954, when Bihar's flood policy was introduced, Bihar had approximately 160 km of embankments. At that time, the flood-prone area in the state was estimated to be 2.5 million hectares. Upon completion of the system of embankments, 3,465 km had been constructed and were administered by the Water Resources Department (WRD). However, the amount of flood-prone land had increased to 6.89 million hectares by 2004.

===Farakka Barrage===
The recent period has seen serious interruption in the dynamic equilibrium of the river, hindering the natural oscillation of the river within its meandering belt. The meandering belt of the Ganges in [[Malda district|Malda]] and [[Murshidabad district|Murshidabad]] districts is 10 km wide. Upstream of the [[Farakka Barrage]], the water level of the Ganges has risen about 8 meters. The river, which flowed in a South Easterly course between Rajmahal and Farakka during early decades of this century, has now formed a concentration of meander loops to accommodate the additional discharged due to the barrage. Due to the obstruction caused by the Barrage, each year nearly 640 million tonnes of silt are accumulated in the riverbed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/article/815066/over-50-years-ago-bengals-chief-engineer-predicted-that-the-farakka-dam-would-flood-bihar|title=Over 50 years ago, Bengal's chief engineer predicted that the Farakka dam would flood Bihar}}</ref> In the last three decades this has resulted in the accumulation of nearly 18.56 billion tonnes of silt.

Farakka barrage has led to following problems upstream of the barrage:

* Interception of the flow channel being changed from straight to oblique
* Sedimentation (640 x106 metric tonnes per year)
* Reduction of the cross-sectional area
* Declining slope of the long profile
* Widening of the river and increasing length
* Increase in flood frequency and magnitude
* Reduction of flora and fauna in the river, specially the Hilsha fish.

A 2016 Central Water Commission (CWC) report on Bihar floods states that the Farakka Barrage, even under the worst scenario, can impact areas up to 42 km upstream, due to a backwater effect.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/farakka-not-to-blame-for-bihar-floods-cwc/articleshow/57318767.cms|title=Farakka not to blame for Bihar floods: CWC|website=[[The Times of India]] }}</ref> Patna is located about 400 km upstream. The report blamed the number of banana plantations on the river bank between Patna and [[Bhagalpur]] as one of the reasons for the floods, based on the assessment of 100 years of flooding of the Ganga. The CWC report stated that the sedimentation in Ganga, in Bihar, is basically due to huge sediment load contributed from its northern tributaries – the [[Ghaghra]], [[Gandak]] and [[Koshi River|Kosi]] rivers. The flood-affected area in Bihar was 2.5 million hectares in 1954 when the length of all embankments in Bihar was 160 km, but the flood-affected area increased to 7.295 million hectares in 2016, after the construction of 3731 km of embankments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/patna/bjp-leader-sushil-modi-questions-nitish-demand-for-decommissioning-farakka-barrage-4536765/|title=BJP leader Sushil Modi questions Nitish demand for decommissioning Farakka barrage}}</ref>

Jaishankar was the incumbent [[Minister of External Affairs]] of the [[Government of India]] in the [[Second Modi ministry]] at the time of publishing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=S Jaishankar Gives First Copy Of His Book 'Why Bharat Matters' To PM Modi |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-presents-his-book-why-bharat-matters-first-copy-to-prime-minister-narendra-modi-4771349 |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=NDTV.com}}</ref>

In this work, Jaishankar discusses India's foreign policy and emphasises the importance of [[Names for India#Bharat|Bharat]], i.e. [[India]], with its ever-growing role on the global stage as a [[India as a potential superpower|potential superpower]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2024-02-17 |title='Why Bharat Matters' book review: India's Worldview Reset |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/books/2024/Feb/17/why-bharat-matters-book-review-indias-worldview-reset |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

==Synopsis==
''Why Bharat Matters'' is Jaishankar's second book, followed by his previous book ''The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World'', in which he provided his analysis of India's geopolitical strategy since independence, along with India's historical statecraft and the impact of [[colonisation]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gupta |first=Arvind |date=2020 |title=Review of The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/48630160 |journal=Indian Foreign Affairs Journal |volume=15 |issue=1 |pages=62–69 |jstor=48630160 |issn=0973-3248}}</ref>

In ''Why Bharat Matters'', Jaishankar delves deeper into India's [[foreign policy|foreign policy landscape]], emphasising the country's [[Culture of India|cultural values]] and global ambitions. He explores the significance of [[List of World Heritage Sites in India|India's historical heritage]], particularly drawing insights from the epic [[Ramayana]]. It discusses India's evolving role in the global arena, emphasising the importance of transparent [[India Stack|digital realms]], resilient [[supply chains]], and strategic economic decisions.

The book also addresses key initiatives implemented by [[Government of India|Indian government]] such as '[[Security and Growth for All in the Region|SAGAR]]' and '[[South Asian foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government|Neighbourhood First]]', showcasing India's surfacing as a positive force on the global stage. Through a blend of tradition, heritage, and modernity, Jaishankar portrays India as a confident and committed nation poised to play an important role in [[international affairs]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2024-02-05 |title=Book Review {{!}} Jaishankar's 'Why Bharat Matters' unveils India's foreign policy renaissance |url=https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/book-review-jaishankars-why-bharat-matters-unveils-indias-foreign-policy-renaissance-13690772.html |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=Firstpost |language=en-us}}</ref>

==Reception==
Columnist and scholar Harshil Mehta, in his review for ''[[Firstpost]]'', called the book important for encouraging debates over [[Culture of India|civilisational heritage]] of India and presenting views of the [[Modi government]] on international affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-02-28 |title=Book Review {{!}} Jaishankar's 'Why Bharat Matters' reveals diplomatic tapestry of Indian epics |url=https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/book-review-jaishankars-why-bharat-matters-reveals-diplomatic-tapestry-of-indian-epics-13743023.html |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=Firstpost |language=en-us}}</ref>

In a review for ''[[The Indian Express]]'', the editor [[C Raja Mohan]] praised the book for sparking much-needed debate about [[Jawaharlal Nehru]]'s foreign policy. He further added that the book will help readers break away from the perspective that everything Indian foreign leadership did in the past was the correct choice for that moment.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-01-03 |title=C Raja Mohan writes: Jaishankar's new book questions Nehru's foreign policy, sparks much-needed debate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/jaishankar-new-book-questions-nehru-foreign-policy-sparks-debate-9093256/ |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref> ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' hailed the book calling it a well-timed collection of historical essays that explores India’s foreign policy initiatives, that underscore major pivotal moments.<ref>{{Citation |last=Michael |first=Arndt |title=India's Cognitive Prior: Ideas, Norms, and the Evolution of India's Foreign Policy |date=2013 |work=India’s Foreign Policy and Regional Multilateralism |pages=21–47 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137263124_2 |access-date=2024-03-12 |place=London |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan UK |doi=10.1057/9781137263124_2 |isbn=978-1-349-44245-4|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Writing for ''[[The Asian Age]]'', editor ''Indranil Banerjie'' stated, the book is invaluable, but not reader-friendly, calling it a textbook on government foreign policy instead of a juicy [[thesis]] on Bharat.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.asianage.com/books/020324/book-review-textbook-on-government-foreign-policy-not-juicy-thesis-on-bharat.html |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=The Asian Age|title=Book Review: Textbook on government foreign policy, not juicy thesis on Bharat|date=3 March 2024 }}</ref>

==Early life==
Saad Kandhlawi was born on 10 May 1965 (1385 [[Hijri year|AH]]) in Western Uttar Pradesh's Kandhla town in [[Shamli|Shamli District]]. He is the great-grandson of the founder of [[Tablighi Jamat]], [[Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi]] through former ameer of the Tablighi Jamat [[Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi]].<ref name="DhakaTribune"/>

He completed his [[Dars-i Nizami|Dars-e-Nizami]] studies from Madrasa Kashiful Uloom at [[Nizamuddin Markaz]], [[Nizamuddin West]], [[South Delhi]] in 1987.<ref name="DhakaTribune"/><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2018/01/12/saad-kandhalvi-indian-preacher-centre-ijtema-dispute|title = Saad Kandhalvi: The Indian preacher at the centre of Ijtema dispute|date = 12 January 2018|access-date = 8 July 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180610142012/https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2018/01/12/saad-kandhalvi-indian-preacher-centre-ijtema-dispute/|archive-date = 10 June 2018|url-status = live}}</ref>

==Career==
Former head of the Tablighi Jamat [[Inamul Hasan Kandhlawi]] had formed a 10-member legislation before his death in 1995 to look after the Jamat affairs. Most of the scholars in this group died in between 1995 and 2015, including [[Zubair ul Hassan Kandhlawi]]. On 16 November 2015, a meeting was held in [[Raiwind Markaz]] facilitate the development of the shura legislation and to fill in the vacant spaces. This resulted in the formation of a new group consisting of 13 members including [[Muhammad Abdul Wahhab]]. Kandhlawi did not agree with this shura and declared himself as the head of Jamat, leading to conflicts within the movement.<ref name="milli">{{cite web |title=Tablighi Jamaat at the crossroads |url=http://www.milligazette.com/news/14612-tablighi-jamaat-at-the-crossroads |website=MilliGazette |accessdate=30 March 2020 |date=30 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301055304/http://www.milligazette.com/news/14612-tablighi-jamaat-at-the-crossroads |archive-date=1 March 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> He subsequently started to lead the [[Banglewali Mosque|Nizamuddin Markaz]] faction of the Tablighi Jamat.<ref name="muslim500"/><ref name="counter" />

=== Relationships ===
In her heyday, Vyjayanthimala was the subject of many controversies, particularly for her misconstrued relationships with her co-stars. In the early 1960s, actor [[Raj Kapoor]] had commenced the filming of ''[[Sangam (1964 Hindi film)|Sangam]]'' with Vyjayanthimala playing the female lead along with [[Rajendra Kumar]] and Kapoor himself as the male lead. The filming took four years to finish. During this time Vyjayanthimala is said to have been romantically involved with Kapoor and almost married him. Initially, she was vexed with him and kept him at a distance. However, Kapoor did not give up over her attitude. However, Vyjayanthimala in her autobiography mentioned that it was a publicity stunt by newspapers in North India to link her with Raj Kapoor and that she was never in any relationship with him.

Vyjayanthimala married the already married Chamanlal Bali, a [[Punjabi Hindu]] [[Arya Samaji]] from Delhi but lived in [[Anna Salai]], [[Chennai]] in 1968. After marriage, she gave up her acting career and moved to Chennai. However, between 1968 and 1970, she shot for those films which she had signed before her marriage, such as ''Pyar Hi Pyar'', ''Prince'' and ''Ganwaar''. They have a son, [[Suchindra Bali]]. In 2007, she published her autobiography, titled ''Bonding'', with Jyoti Sabarwal as a co-writer.

The movie was a big success and was remade in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] after one year as ''[[Jeevitham]]'' (1950) with a slightly different cast, namely [[C. H. Narayana Rao]], [[S.

=== 1955–1957: ''Devdas'' and breakthrough ===
In 1955, Vyjayanthimala acted in five Hindi films. The first one was director [[Abdur Rashid Kardar]]'s ''[[Yasmin (1955 film)|Yasmin]]'' alongside actor Suresh, which won the [[Filmfare Award for Best Cinematography]] for Dwarka Divecha. Besides that, she also starred in three other films, ''Pehli Jhalak'' with [[Kishore Kumar]], ''Sitara'' with [[Pradeep Kumar (actor)|Pradeep Kumar]] and ''Jashan'' with Karan Dewan. Eventually all her four films released in 1955 failed at the box office. The same year, [[Bimal Roy]] cast her as [[Chandramukhi (character)|Chandramukhi]] opposite [[Dilip Kumar]] in the critically acclaimed ''[[Devdas (1955 film)|Devdas]]'', which was the adaptation of the novel with same [[Devdas|title]] by [[Sharat Chandra Chatterji]]. The industry initially was not in favour of this choice when they heard about Vyjayanthimala being cast in Bimal Roy's film, the response being: "Why don't you take comedian [[Kishore Kumar]] as Devdas?".<ref name="Rediff">{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/may/06dinesh.htm |title=Bollywood's Dancing Queen |author=Dinesh Raheja |date=6 May 2002 |work=[[Rediff]] |access-date=2 January 2011}}</ref> Initially [[Nargis]] was selected for Chandramukhi's role, but she refused to accept the role. The role was later offered to [[Bina Rai]] and [[Suraiya]] but they too turned it down as they wanted to essay the lead role of Paro, which was earlier offered to [[Meena Kumari]].<ref name="devdas2">{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/jul/05ghosh.htm |title=I did not approve of Vyjayanthimala as Chandramukhi |date=5 July 2002 |author=Lata Khubchandani |access-date=11 May 2011 |work=[[Rediff]]}}</ref> Subsequently, the film unit suffered with [[financial crisis]] and at this point Vyjayanthimala offered to do the role of Chandramukhi, where she said to [[Bimal Roy]], "I am ready if you think I can do it".<ref name="devdas2" /> On the other hand, [[Nabendu Ghosh]], the script writer of ''[[Devdas (1955 film)|Devdas]]'', said that, "I did not approve of Vyjayanthimala [as Chandramukhi], but we had no option – no one wanted to play Chandramukhi, and we were committed to our distributors... She was, of course, a very good actress, but she was too young for Chandramukhi, as envisioned by Saratbabu".<ref name="devdas2" /> On her performance, [[Rediff]] wrote: "Vyjayanthimala imbues Chandramukhi with true sympathy.

In the same year, she also acted in [[swashbuckler]] film ''[[Devta (1956 film)|Devta]]'', which was a remake of the hugely successful Tamil film ''Kanavaney Kankanda Deivam''.<ref name="devta">{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article73473.ece |title=Blast from the past: Kanavaney Kankanda Deivam |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=21 December 2009 |author=Randor Guy |access-date=27 March 2011 |location=Chennai, India}}</ref> Surprisingly though, she accepted a supporting role as a [[Femme fatale#20th century film and theatre|vamp]] which was originally done by [[Lalitha (actress)|Lalitha]] in the Tamil version. However, according to Upperstall.com, her role was very crucial in the film and her portrayal as the Naag Rani accompanied by her dance is the main attraction of the film.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.upperstall.com/films/1956/devta |title=Devta |publisher=Upperstall.com |date=21 December 2009 |author=Karan Bali |access-date=18 October 2011}}</ref> Also starring in the movie, reprising their lead roles from the original, were [[Gemini Ganesan]] and [[Anjali Devi]].<ref name="devta" /> Meanwhile, she was signed by [[Sohrab Modi]] for his film ''Rajhath'' opposite [[Pradeep Kumar (actor)|Pradeep Kumar]].

Vyjayanthimala then acted with [[Kishore Kumar]] again in the [[romantic comedy]] ''[[New Delhi (1956 film)|New Delhi]]'', which became the fifth highest-grossing film of 1956.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=162&catName=MTk1Ng== |title=Box Office 1956 |publisher=Box Office India |access-date=20 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110121001052/http://boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=162&catName=MTk1Ng== |archive-date=21 January 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The film showcases a love that sprouts between a [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]] boy, played Kishore Kumar, and a [[Tamil people|Tamil]] girl, played by Vyjayanthimala. Her performance was applauded by fans and critics alike; a review on ''Upperstall.com'' regarding her performance in the film states that: "Vyjayanthimala proves to be the perfect foil for Kishore Kumar...has always had the mandatory dance sequence in practically every film of hers evoking "classical art" associations. She excels in the two main dances in New Delhi – the solo Bharatnatayam Aliruppu number and the Bhangra folk dance in her Punjabi avatar and she is absolutely brilliant in the Bhangra folk dance...in her second avatar. Even Vyjayanthimala played a Punjabi girl and most successfully too".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.upperstall.com/films/1956/new-delhi |title=New Delhi |publisher=Upperstall.com |author=The Third Man |access-date=5 May 2011}}</ref> Subsequently, she did a Tamil film called ''[[Marma Veeran]]'', along with Sriram, [[Rajasulochana]], [[M.

In 1957, director [[Baldev Raj Chopra|B. R. Chopra]] planned to make ''[[Naya Daur (1957 film)|Naya Daur]]'', with [[Ashok Kumar]] in the lead. However, the actor refused to accept this role and it later went to [[Dilip Kumar]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.upperstall.com/films/1957/naya-daur |title=Naya Daur |publisher=Upperstall.com |access-date=8 May 2011}}</ref> For the female lead, the first choice of the director was the biggest star-actress of those days, [[Madhubala]]. But, as fate would have it, after 15 days of initial shooting at [[Mumbai]], the director wanted the unit to travel to [[Bhopal]] for an extended outdoor shooting. However, Ataullah Khan, the father of [[Madhubala]], objected to this and the role went to Vyjayanthimala. Chopra later sued Madhubala for the cash advance she received from him for the film, saying that she accepted the sum and now had no intention of completing it.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_revisiting-naya-daur-s-purana-memories_1306770 |title=Revisiting Naya Daur's purana memories |work=[[Daily News and Analysis]] |date=3 November 2009 |author=Prithwish Ganguly |access-date=8 May 2011}}</ref> Vyjyanthimala had previously acted with Dilip Kumar in [[Devdas (1955 film)|Devdas]] and the duo shared an easy chemistry on-screen.

In 1968, Vyjayanthimala appeared in three big budget films with high-profile actors such as [[Dilip Kumar]], [[Dev Anand]] and [[Rajendra Kumar]]. Her first release of the year was ''[[Sunghursh]]'', directed by [[H. S. Rawail|Harnam Singh Rawail]]. She co-starred with Dilip Kumar for the seventh and final time in her career, with [[Balraj Sahni]] and [[Sanjeev Kumar]] in key roles. Originally offered to actress [[Sadhana Shivdasani|Sadhana]], the role later went to Vyjayanthimala as the former suffered with her thyroid problem.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/feb/11dinesh.htm |title=Sadhana's Song |publisher=[[Rediff]] |date=11 February 2002 |author=Dinesh Raheja |access-date=23 July 2012}}</ref> Reportedly she did not exchange a word with Kumar while filming, since their relationship broke up.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/will-a-hindu-muslim-love-story-work-news-bollywood-kkfvOfedfda.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912131337/http://www.sify.com/movies/will-a-hindu-muslim-love-story-work-news-bollywood-kkfvOfedfda.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 September 2015 |title=Will a Hindu-Muslim love story work? |website=[[Sify]] |date=2 January 2004 |author=Subhash K.

Anuj Kumar from ''[[The Hindu]]'' said that: "Vyjayanthimala is graceful as ever. In a film dominated by men, Rawail made sure she had a substantial role.

After her retirement from films, Vyjayanthimala was offered many roles by big banners opposite leading actors of that time. But she refused all those offers as she did not want to make a comeback. In 1968, she was signed opposite [[Raj Kapoor]] in Mahesh Kaul's ''[[Sapno Ka Saudagar]]'', she refused the role which went to the debutante [[Hema Malini]], who become one of the most popular actresses in Hindi films later.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.upperstall.com/people/mahesh-kaul |title=Mahesh Kaul Biography |publisher=Upperstall |author=Karan Bali |access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref> However, in 1975, Vyjayanthimala was almost signed in [[Gulzar]]'s ''[[Aandhi]]'' with [[Sanjeev Kumar (actor)|Sanjeev Kumar]] but she backed out from the project as the role resembled [[Indira Gandhi]]'s personal life.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20111127/spectrum/book5.htm |title=From Naagin to nritya |author=Nonika Singh |work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] |date=27 November 2011 |access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/down-memory-lane/874591/0 |title=Down Memory Lane |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=12 November 2011 |access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref> Perhaps the most famous role that Vyjayanthimala ever turned down was the 1975 crime-drama film ''[[Deewaar]]''.

Subir is a professional singer with a soaring career. He has no plans to marry—until he meets Uma, a sweet village girl who is musically gifted. Subir falls in love with Uma and marries her and returns to [[Mumbai]] with his new bride. Subir continues as a singer and fosters Uma's singing career. His career falters, however, just as Uma's singing career begins to thrive.

Eventually, she becomes more successful than her husband, sparking jealousy from Subir. His pride and jealousy tears the marriage apart. The couple separates, and Uma has a miscarriage. After heavy criticism from his aunt, Subir realises the folly of his vanity and reconciles with Uma. In an emotional reunion they sing together.

==Plot==
The movie starts with Malini taking a video message of herself to send to Raman while driving telling him that she is coming this year to visit the Edanthottam. Unfortunately, she meets with an accident. At the hospital, her husband, Elvis, discovers Malini is having a love affair with Raman from her phone. The film flashbacks to a year back, when Elvis, Malini, their 10-year-old daughter and their family friend, Salim, and family go to Edanthottam in Vagamon to cheer up Elvis (who is a desperate producer trying to make his comeback to the movie industry).

Malini is frequently insulted and looked down upon by Elvis who in contrast is a good father but a hideous husband. There, Malini meets the owner of the Edanthottam, Raman. She becomes friends with Raman, a widower(and his wife's name was also Malini). They spend time together talking about their life, past, and future, and gels up so much that at one point, they get an intuition of finding the perfect match for them. Even though Malini has a bad married life, she still respects the relationship she has with her husband and daughter and remains friends with Raman. On the other hand, Raman who was intensively in love with his late wife finds traces of her in Malini. He still keeps his relationship as a friend. They share their thoughts about each other's careers. Malini being a graceful dancer, Raman advises her to start a dance school and also invites her to come to his resort next year. Malini starts a dance school with Elvis's reluctant approval which becomes a success. As Elvis is a lazy, not-so-serious person who is not dedicated to his work, he accumulates huge debts which makes them change their home once in a while. Since Malini starts to earn from the dance school, she looks after the house, gets more confident, and voices her opinions in front of Elvis. Elvis is depicted as a cheating husband who goes to prostitutes while he is out of town for work.

Next year, Malini approaches Elvis about Raman's invitation. Elvis agrees, but a change in schedule makes him go to Chennai. Malini quietly goes to Ethanthottam alone where she and Raman fall on the verge of love. But it is shown that they respect their personalities and decide to remain good friends. In the present day, Malini recovers and is questioned by an angry Elvis. Malini leaves the house and sends Elvis a divorce notice which shows her being an independent woman. The movie ends with Malini driving a car to drop Raman at the airport. They continue their beautiful friendship and healthy relationship. It is also shown that the divorce is approved and their daughter is living with each parent separately each month.

'''Jogendra Nath Mandal''' ([[Bengali language|Bengali]]: যোগেন্দ্রনাথ মন্ডল; 29 January 1904 – 5 October 1968), sometimes written '''Jogendranath Mandal''', was a [[Bengalis|Bengali]] politician and [[Dalit]] leader who emerged as a prominent figure among the architects of Indian history.<ref name="Renaissance Bookshop">{{cite book|last=Heyworth-Dunne|first=James|year=1952|title=Pakistan: the birth of a new Muslim state|location=Cairo|publisher=Renaissance Bookshop|page=79|oclc=558585198}}</ref> Within the 1946–1947 [[Interim Government of India]], he held the portfolio of law. Distinguished as a leader representing the [[Scheduled Castes]], Mandal vehemently opposed the 1947 [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]]. His rationale rested on the apprehension that a divided Bengal would subject Dalits to the dominance of the majority-caste Hindus in [[West Bengal]] (India). Eventually opting to maintain his base in [[East Pakistan]], Mandal aspired for the welfare of the Dalits and assumed the role of [[Minister for Law and Justice (Pakistan)|Minister of Law and Labour in Pakistan]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Sen|first=Dwaipayan|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781108278348|title=The Decline of the Caste Question|date=30 June 2018|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-108-27834-8|page=172|doi=10.1017/9781108278348|s2cid=158407103}}</ref> However, a few years subsequent to the [[Partition of India|partition]], he left for India, tendering his resignation to [[Liaquat Ali Khan]], the then-[[Prime Minister of Pakistan]], citing a perceived anti-Hindu bias within the Pakistani administration.

==Early life==
Jogendra Nath Mandal, born in the [[Barisal District|Barisal]] district within the erstwhile [[Bengal Presidency]] of [[British India]] (later known as [[East Bengal]], [[East Pakistan]], and presently [[Bangladesh]]) on 29 January 1904, hailed from the [[Namasudra|Namasudra community]]. Demonstrating academic aptitude from an early age, Mandal excelled in his studies. Upon graduating in 1929, he pursued legal studies, culminating in the completion of a [[law degree]] in 1934. However, he made a deliberate choice not to embark upon a legal career or conventional employment. Instead, motivated by a commitment to confront the inequities ingrained in the societal framework that marginalized his community, he opted to dedicate his life to the amelioration of the oppressed.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last1=Apurva |first1=Ankita |date=5 October 2021 |title=Remembering Jogendra Nath Mandal's Unwavering Fight for the Oppressed |url=https://feminisminindia.com/2021/10/05/remembering-jogendra-nath-mandals-unwavering-fight-for-the-oppressed/ |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=Feminism in India}}</ref>

Mandal began his political career as an independent candidate during the [[1937 Indian provincial elections|1937 Indian provincial assembly elections]]. He contested the [[Bakarganj, Bangladesh|Bakharganj North East Rural]] constituency in the [[Bengal Legislative Assembly (1937—1947)|Bengal legislative assembly]], securing victory over [[Saral Kumar Dutta]], the president of the district committee of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Dwaipayan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gORfDwAAQBAJ&q=jogendra+nath+mandal+early+life |title=The Decline of the Caste Question: Jogendranath Mandal and the Defeat of Dalit Politics in Bengal |date=26 July 2018 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-108-41776-1 |page=28}}</ref><ref name="sharma">{{cite news|url=http://www.caravanmagazine.in/perspectives/jogendra-nath-mandal-bjp-bsp-up-election-2017|title=Selective Memory: The historical figure both the BJP and the BSP tried to claim during the Uttar Pradesh election|last=Sharma|first=Arnav Das|date=1 April 2017|work=[[The Caravan]]|access-date=10 June 2017|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

During this period, Mandal found inspiration in figures such as [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and [[Sarat Chandra Bose]]. Following Subhas Chandra Bose's expulsion from the INC in 1940, Mandal aligned himself with the [[Muslim League (Opposition)|Muslim League]] (ML), the only other prominent national party at the time. Subsequently, he assumed a ministerial role in the cabinet of ML chief minister [[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]].<ref name="sharma" />

Mandal collaborated with [[B. R. Ambedkar]] in establishing the Bengal branch of the [[Scheduled Castes Federation]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Mahamanav Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar|last=Gaikwad|first=Dr. Dnyanraj Kashinath|publisher=Riya Publication|year=2016|page=301|language=mr}}</ref> Mandal played an important role in securing Ambedkar's election to the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly|Constituent Assembly of Bengal]] in 1946.{{Citation needed|date=February 2026}}. He also contributed to the framing of the [[Constitution of India]], with Ambedkar seeking his counsel through correspondence.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Paswan |first=Sudarshan Ramabadran & Guru Prakash |title=This book recounts the lives of Dalit leaders, many of them half-forgotten like Jogendranath Mandal |url=https://scroll.in/article/992286/this-book-recounts-the-lives-of-dalit-leaders-many-of-them-half-forgotten-like-jogendranath-mandal |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=Scroll.in |date=15 April 2021}}</ref><ref name=":1" />

Amidst the political landscape in which the [[Hindu Mahasabha]] sought to court the [[Namasudra|Namasudra community]], and the province was marked by the dominance of oppressed Dalit and Muslim populations, Mandal perceived a distinction between communal affairs and political conflicts involving the INC and ML. In the midst of the [[Direct Action Day|1946 riots]], he traversed East Bengal, advocating for Dalit non-participation in anti-Muslim violence. Mandal argued that Muslims, like Dalits, were oppressed by upper-caste Hindus, and he believed that aligning with Muslims would be more beneficial for the Dalits than associating with high-caste Hindus. Consequently, he lent his support to the ML.<ref name="sharma" />

Upon the ML's integration into the [[Interim Government of India]] in October 1946, [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] nominated Mandal as one of the League's five representatives. Subsequently appointed by [[George VI|King George VI]], Mandal assumed the law portfolio within the body.<ref name=":2">{{cite book |last=Ahmad |first=Salahuddin |year=2004 |title=Bangladesh: Past and Present |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Szfqq7ruqWgC&pg=PA77 |location=New Delhi, India |publisher=APH Publishing Co. |page=77 |isbn=978-81-7648-469-5}}</ref>

==Political career in Pakistan (1947–1950)==
Mandal emerged as one of the 96 founding figures of the [[Dominion of Pakistan]], aligning himself with the Muslim League. During their inaugural session, which transpired shortly before the [[partition of India]] on 15 August 1947, he was elected as their interim chairman.<ref name="Routledge Publishing Co.">{{cite book |last1=Tan |first1=Tai Yong |author-link=Tan Tai Yong |last2=Kugaisya |first2=Gyanes |year=2000 |title=The Aftermath of Partition in South Asia |publisher=Routledge |page=45 |isbn=978-0-415-17297-4 |quote=On 10 August ... the Pakistan Constituent Assembly held its inaugural session where it elected Jogendranath Mandal ... as its temporary chairman ... he came forward to sign the roll as a founder-member ... In all the Assembly had sixty-nine members.}}</ref> Notably, as Jinnah prepared to assume the role of the first [[Governor-General of Pakistan]], he entrusted Mandal with the responsibility of presiding over the session, underscoring his confidence in him. Mandal was subsequently appointed Pakistan's inaugural [[Minister for Law and Justice (Pakistan)|Minister for Law and Labour]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=21 August 1947 |title=Pakistan Cabinet: Distribution of Portfolios to Ministers |volume=79 |pages=4 |work=Amrita Bazar Patrika |issue=31 |url=https://eap.bl.uk/archive-file/EAP262-1-1-43-606#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=3&xywh=-108%2C5319%2C2609%2C1563 |access-date=16 January 2023}}</ref>

Mandal's tenure in this position was truncated due to persistent subjugation within a bureaucracy dominated by a Muslim majority.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Munsi |first=Sharanya |date=29 January 2019 |title=Jogendra Nath Mandal, a Bengali Dalit leader who went on to become a Pakistani minister |url=https://theprint.in/theprint-profile/jogendra-nath-mandal-a-bengali-dalit-leader-who-went-on-to-become-a-pakistani-minister/184687/ |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=ThePrint}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Balouch |first=Akhtar |date=4 November 2015 |title=Jogendra Nath Mandal: Chosen by Jinnah, banished by bureaucracy |url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1217465 |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=DAWN.COM}}</ref> The situation deteriorated further following Jinnah's death in September 1948. Confronted with atrocities committed against his constituents, the Dalits, by Muslim rioters supported by the police, Mandal voiced his protest. This stance led to discord between him and the Prime Minister of Pakistan, [[Liaquat Ali Khan]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 March 2020 |title=History Headline: Pakistan's Ambedkar, and two stories far apart |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/jogendra-nath-mandal-pakistan-muslim-league-ambedkar-caa-6293195/ |access-date=6 March 2022 |website=The Indian Express}}</ref>

In 1950, Mandal found himself compelled to return to India, a decision precipitated by an outstanding arrest warrant against him in Pakistan.<ref name="indianexpress.com">{{cite news |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/uttar-prdesh-assembly-election-bjp-dalit-votes-jogendra-nath-mandal-amit-shah-2880221/|title=Eye on Uttar Pradesh polls, BJP showcases Pakistan Dalit minister who 'came back disillusioned'|work=The Indian Express}}</ref><ref name="tribune.com.pk">{{cite news |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/896339/5-noted-personalities-that-left-pakistan-for-india/|title=5 noted personalities who left Pakistan for India|work=The Express Tribune}}</ref><ref name="en.wikisource.org">{{cite web |url=https://wikilivres.org/wiki/Resignation_letter_of_Jogendra_Nath_Mandal |title=Resignation letter of Jogendra Nath Mandal |last=Mandal |first=Jogendra Nath |date=8 October 1950 |website=Wikilivres }}</ref>

Upon his return to India, Mandal encountered a lack of acceptance by any political party. Nevertheless, he persevered in his endeavours to aid the rehabilitation of Hindu refugees from East Pakistan (present-day [[Bangladesh]]), whose influx was rapidly impacting West Bengal. He died on 5 October 1968 in [[Bangaon]], under mysterious circumstances.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sen |first=Dwaipayan |title=The uncanny death of Jogendranath Mandal |url=https://www.academia.edu/42668627 |journal=Academia.edu }}</ref>

== History ==

=== Beginnings in Kottayam ===
Malayala Manorama Company is a private LLC corporation, owned by the Kandathil family, an aristocratic [[Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church|Malankara Orthodox Syrian Christian]] family,<ref>{{cite news |title=K.M. Mathew Laid to Rest |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/K.M.-Mathew-laid-to-rest/article16117857.ece |website=The Hindu |date=2 August 2010 |access-date=25 October 2023}}</ref> incorporated by [[Kandathil Varghese Mappillai]] at Kottayam in south-western Kerala on 14 March 1888. The company started with one hundred shares of ₹100 each. The investors paid in four equal instalments. With the first instalment, the company brought a London-made [[Albion press|Hopkinson and Cope press]]. A local craftsman, Konthi Achari, was hired to make Malayalam types for the imported press.<ref>Robin Jeffrey. India's Newspaper Revolution: Capitalism, Politics and the Indian-language Press, 1977-99 C. Hurst & Co. Publishers, 2000</ref>

Varghese Mappillai had worked for a year as editor of ''Kerala Mitram'', a Malayalam newspaper run by Gujarati businessman Devji Bhimji, in Cochin and he took over the same position for ''Manorama''. The [[List of Maharajas of Travancore|Maharajah of Travancore]] [[Moolam Thirunal]] approved the logo of the newspaper which was a slight modification of the [[Travancore]] Coat of Arms.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/common/footer/footerHtmls.jsp?contentHtml=About%20Us&BV_ID=@@@ |title=Manorama Online (About Us) Slideshow |access-date=4 January 2014 |archive-date=30 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330215033/http://manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/mmonline.dll/portal/common/footer/footerHtmls.jsp?contentHtml=About%20Us&BV_ID=@@@ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The first issue was published on 22 March 1890 from [[Orthodox Theological Seminary, Kottayam]], while the town was hosting a popular cattle fair. It was a four-page weekly newspaper, published on Saturdays.

In 1938, Travancore state [[Proscription|proscribed]] ''Malayala Manorama'' on charges of publishing news against the [[C. P. Ramaswami Iyer|Diwan]]; Mammen Mappillai was convicted and imprisoned. ''Malayala Manorama'' re-commenced regular publication in 1947 after the Indian independence and the Diwan's downfall.

On Mammen Mappillai's death, his eldest son [[K. M. Cherian (journalist)|K. M. Cheriyan]] took over as the Editor-in-Chief in 1954. At this time, ''Malayala Manorama'' was produced in a single edition in Kottayam with a circulation of 28,666 copies.<ref name="hindu.com">R Krishnakumar ''OBITUARY: Mathew touch''. ''[[The Hindu]]'' Vol: 27 Iss: 17 [http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=20100827271712300.htm&date=fl2717/&prd=fline&]</ref>

By the late 1950s, ''Manorama'' steadily increased circulation and overtook in circulation ''[[Mathrubhumi]]'', the dominant Malayalam daily at the time.

=== Expansion across Kerala (1960s) ===
The struggle between ''Malayala Manorama'' (based in Kottayam) and ''Mathrubhumi'' (based in [[Kozhikode]]) demonstrated the forces that would drive the expansion of Indian regional newspapers. The contest also illustrated the difficulties if expansion had to rely on Gutenberg-style printing as with the case of ''Manorama''.<ref>Robin Jeffrey.

In 1962, ''Mathrubhumi'' launched its second edition in Kochi. The new edition sent ''Mathrubumi'' to a circulation of 170,000 copies by 1964, 19,000 more than its rival, ''Malayala Manorama''. With ''Mathrubhoomi''<nowiki/>'s circulation rising, it became a compulsion for ''Manorama'' to expand its reach, and consequently, introduce new technology. The competition set off a keen struggle for more readers, faster equipment and national advertising from major consumer goods companies [such as [[Hindustan Unilever]]].<ref name="hindu.com"/> ''Manorama ''launched its printing centre at Kozhikode, Malabar in 1966 with a cast-off press from the paper's base at Kottayam and hand-composed type.<ref>Robin Jeffrey. ''India's Newspaper Revolution: Capitalism, Politics and the Indian-language Press, 1977-99'' C. Hurst & Co. Publishers, 2000 pp. 82</ref> But in the run-up to that event, it had installed an offset press at Kottayam and established a teleprinter line with New Delhi in 1965.

By 1970, it was the leading daily in Kerala. The circulation of the newspaper rose from around 30,000 to 300,000 by this expansion across the [[Malabar Coast]].<ref name="Manorama Online About Us Page 1"/><ref>Robin Jeffrey.

=== 1980s ===
[[K. M. Mathew]], who took charge as editor in 1973, began a series of renovations, just as the ''[[Anandabazar Patrika]]'' did in Bengal. He brought in a series of consultants in the management [1979], technical and editorial areas, and accepted their guidance. He conducted frequent training sessions for ''Manorama'' journalists and other employees. The company restructured their organisation in 1980.<ref>Robin Jeffrey. ''India's Newspaper Revolution: Capitalism, Politics and the Indian-language Press, 1977-99'' C. Hurst & Co. Publishers, 2000 pp. 67</ref> K. M. Mathew said that the decision stemmed from the realisation that the daily had either to become "fully professional" or "risk decline". Mathew sent his best journalists and managers to training schools around the world and imported the most effective techniques in international journalism and newspaper production, which brought a contemporary look and feel to ''Malayala Manorama''.<ref name="hindu.com"/> In 1979, a new printing centre was launched at [[Kochi]] and in 1987, the [[Thiruvananthapuram]] edition was also launched. By 1998, the circulation of ''Malayala Manorama'' was increased to 1 million.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Joseph |first=Anto T. |date=2021-07-21 |title=Who owns your media: How Malayala Manorama struggled with a steep fall in ad revenues |url=https://www.newslaundry.com/2021/07/21/who-owns-your-media-how-malayala-manorama-struggled-with-a-steep-fall-in-ad-revenues |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=Newslaundry |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=John |first=Haritha |date=2023-12-27 |title=Unravelling the friction between CPIM and Kerala's major media houses |url=https://www.newslaundry.com/2023/12/27/unravelling-the-friction-between-cpim-and-keralas-major-media-houses |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=Newslaundry |language=en}}</ref> In the mid-2000s, the daily started units in the Middle East, focusing on the large Malayali population in the region. Mathew is credited with the introduction of the concept of "editionalising" with a larger share of local news and reader-friendly packaging through professional page designing in ''Manorama'', which in turn impacted the entire newspaper industry in Kerala. By 2007, ''Manorama ''become the only non-English and non-Hindi daily newspaper in India to cross 1.5 million copies in circulation.<ref>Robin Jeffrey.

K. M. Mathew was succeeded by his son Mammen Mathew in 2010. In their obituary ''[[The Hindu]]'' praised Mathew as,<blockquote>"In what could only be described as a rarity then in Indian language journalism, Mathew showed an unusual commitment to modernisation and professionalism and became a role model for the newspaper industry, which in the early 1980s was at the critical juncture of embarking on a phase of unbelievable expansion."<ref name="hindu.com" /></blockquote>According to the [[Audit Bureau of Circulations (India)|Audit Bureau of Circulations]]'s (ABC) January–June 2013 figures, ''Malayala Manorama'' holds a circulation of 2.1 million readers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.auditbureau.org/files/Top_Language_Wise.pdf |title=Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) (January-June 2013) |access-date=31 March 2014 |archive-date=13 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140513132052/http://www.auditbureau.org/files/Top_Language_Wise.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== 1990s ===
Malayala Manorama launched its official Malayalam language news website called Manorama Online <ref>''[[manoramaonline.com]]'' [https://www.manoramaonline.com/] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321215719/https://www.manoramaonline.com/|date=21 March 2018}}</ref> in 1995.

== Controversies ==

=== ISRO espionage case ===
{{Main|ISRO espionage case}}
[[Mangalam Publications]], [[Mathrubhumi]], Malayala Manorama were among the media houses that were blamed for the coverage of the ISRO Spy case against Indian scientist [[Nambi Narayanan]]. In 2018, the Supreme Court of India absolved Dr Nambi Narayanan and said the arrest of Dr Nambi over the 1994 espionage case was needless, and it also granted him ₹ 50 lakh compensation.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/dr-nambi-narayanan-isro-spy-case-cbi-can-act-against-ex-kerala-cops-in-isro-spy-case-says-supreme-court-2494889 | title='CBI Can Act Against Ex-Kerala Cops In ISRO Spy Case, Says Supreme Court | access-date=27 August 2022 | archive-date=27 August 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220827101422/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/dr-nambi-narayanan-isro-spy-case-cbi-can-act-against-ex-kerala-cops-in-isro-spy-case-says-supreme-court-2494889 | url-status=live }}</ref>
"Mangalam, picked up the story and began connecting the arrested woman with various businessmen and scientists. This strategy proved successful for Mangalam in terms of creating buzz around a (non-existent) story. Soon, other news houses, such as Malayala Manorama and then Mathrubhumi, also picked it up," writer and veteran journalist Paul Zacharia told TNM.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/criminal-here-media-journalists-recount-how-isro-spy-case-was-concocted-165502 | title='The criminal here is the media': Journalists recount how ISRO spy case was concocted | date=3 July 2022 | access-date=8 August 2022 | archive-date=8 August 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220808222852/https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/criminal-here-media-journalists-recount-how-isro-spy-case-was-concocted-165502 | url-status=live }}</ref>

==Open-cast mine at Kenda==
In a study regarding the feasibility of an open cast mine at Kenda, it was mentioned that both R-V and R-VI seams had been extensively developed and underground mining carried out for many years. 13.6 million tonnes of good quality coal was lying blocked in the pillars. Open cast mining was recommended for taking out this coal, as well as coal from a virgin R-VIIB seam, which otherwise was difficult to mine because of low thickness of the seam. Once the coal from the upper seams is taken out, the quarry is to be backfilled and underground mining of the lower seams can be undertaken. The total area of the coal block is about 7 km2. About 300 acres of land was required for the project, a proposal in which land owners evinced interest in lieu of compensation including employment. The employment potential of the project was much higher than the number of landowners. In addition, the area could benefit from [[Corporate social responsibility|CSR]]-related activities. Water supply arrangements for Kenda mouza was already in progress.<ref name=survey>{{cite web | url = http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/modification/Amendment/Attach_file/06072018FT94RNHMSociostudyofNKOCP.pdf | title = A Demographic Survey and Socioeconomic Study for the Project Affected People (PAP) and NON- PAP People of New Kenda OCP, West Burdwan District | work = Pages 16,18 | publisher = Indian Institute of Forest Management, Nehru Nagar, Bhopal (MP) 462003 | access-date = 19 August 2018}}</ref>

==Fire in New Kenda Colliery in 1994==
"On 25.1.1994 at about 3.30 p.m. a fire broke out in the workings of Dobrana seam at New Kenda Colliery. The fire occurred in the main intake airway close to the downcast shaft. Smoke and noxious gases from the fire spread to the working places and caused the death of 55 persons. This has been the worst fire disaster of this century in Indian mines." The fire could not be extinguished immediately and the fire area had to be sealed off. The fire died down after about one and a half years. After the fire died down, heavy roof fall was observed in the sealed off galleries.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://ismenvis.nic.in/Database/New_Kenda_Colliery_2511994_9326.aspx | title = New Kenda Colliery, 25.1.94 | publisher = ENVIS centre on Environmental Problems of Mining | access-date = 19 August 2018 | archive-date = 20 August 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180820141127/http://ismenvis.nic.in/Database/New_Kenda_Colliery_2511994_9326.aspx | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==Subsidence==
Traditionally many underground collieries have left a void after taking out the coal. As a result, almost all areas are facing subsidence. As per CMPDIL, there were 9 points of subsidence in the Kenda Area involving 120.96 hectares of land.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/66080/13/13_chapter%205.pdf | title = Coal mining impact on the environment | work = Pages 78-81 | publisher = Shodhganga | access-date = 18 August 2018}}</ref>

==Migrants==
Prior to the advent of coal mining, the entire region was a low-productive rice crop area in what was once a part of the [[Jungle Mahals]]. The ownership of land had passed on from local [[adivasi]]s to agricultural castes before mining started. However, the [[Santal people|Santhals]] and the [[Bauris]], referred to by the colonial administrators as "traditional coal cutters of Raniganj" remained attached to their lost land and left the mines for agricultural related work, which also was more remunerative. It forced the mine-owners to bring in outside labour, mostly from Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. In time the migrants dominated the mining and industrial scenario. The pauperization and alienation of the adivasis have been major points of social concern.<ref name=illegalmining1>{{cite web | url = https://www.academia.edu/3141696 | title = Unintended Collieries: People and Resources in Eastern India | first= Kuntala|last=Lahiri-Dutt | work= Resource Management in Asia-Pacific, Working Paper No. 44, 2003| date = January 2003 | publisher = RMAP Working Papers | access-date = 11 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://inet.vidyasagar.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/1245/2/2.pdf | title = Industrialisation and Emergence of Labour Force in Bengal during The Colonial Period: Its Socio-Economic Impact | first = Nirban | last = Basu | work = Vidyasagar University Journal of History | volume = 1 | date = 2012–2013 | access-date = 11 August 2018 | archive-date = 17 July 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180717070651/http://inet.vidyasagar.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/1245/2/2.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref>

== Early life and Career ==
Ahmaq Phaphoondvi was born as Mohammad Mustafa Khan into a knowledgeable and respected [[Pashtuns|Pashtun]] family from the [[Yusufzai|Yousafzai]] tribe, Ahmaq's ancestors had migrated to the [[Farrukhabad district|Farrukhabad]] district during the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal rule]].<ref name=":0" /> After his grandfather was hanged for his role in the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]] against the [[British Raj]], his father relocated to [[Phaphund]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Ahmaq Phaphoondvi - Profile & Biography |url=https://www.rekhta.org/poets/ahmaq-phaphoondvi/profile |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=Rekhta |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Phaphoondvi |first=Ahmaq |url=https://www.rekhta.org/ebooks/zindan-e-himaqat-ahmaq-phaphoondvi-ebooks |title=Zindan-e-Himakat |year=1922 |language=Urdu}}</ref>

His father established a successful publishing press in 1862, which operated until 1921, when Ahmaq was jailed. Afterward, the press declined and eventually ceased. After the death of his father in 1912, he went to Madrassa-ul-Uloom in [[Budaun]] to learn [[Arabic]]. Following this he went to the [[Tibbia College|Tibbia College in Delhi]], where he studied medicine for two and a half years.<ref name=":0" />

== Resistance and work ==

=== Poetry and jail ===
From a young age, he demonstrated exceptional talent and became a remarkable poet. In 1919 he was inspired by the [[Indian National Congress]]'s work and joined their cause, as a result he was jailed by the [[British Raj|government]] in 1921. However, he continued to write from his cell in the [[Aligarh]] Jail. His [[Ghazal|ghazals]] have been compiled into several books, to name a few: ''Sang-o-Khisht'',<ref name=":3" /> ''Naksh-i-Hikmat''<ref name=":4" /> and the well-known ''Josh-o-Amal''.<ref name=":2" /> An example of his poetry includes:<blockquote>''"Look at the turmoil and the bloodshed among our people, The cleverness of the English mind is used up in all such schemes, this murder and mayhem, wars and battles, cruelties and malice, The country’s garden is barren, with nothing but dust and desolation" (Extract from: 'The cleverness of the English Mind', Original title: 'Angrezi Zehn Ki Tezi')''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jalil |first=Rakhshanda |date=2019-03-18 |title='This border that drinks blood and spits sparks': Voices of Urdu poets on war and peace |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1470375 |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref> </blockquote>

=== Linguist ===
Ahmaq or Mustafa, was well versed in multiple languages, including: [[Urdu]], [[Hindi]], [[Arabic]], [[Sanskrit]], [[Pali]], [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Turkish language|Turkish]]. He had previously compiled several dictionaries, including Pali-Urdu, Sanskrit-Urdu, Persian-Urdu.<ref name=":5" />

In 1950, his former cellmate, Shri Narayan Prasad, suggested that he write an Urdu-Hindi dictionary, recognizing that many historical documents at the time were in Persian and Urdu and needed to be translated into Hindi. It took him three and a half year to compile this dictionary. It was published by the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh|Uttar Pradesh]] Government and in service of the [[List of chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh|Chief Minister]] [[Sampurnanand]]. The dictionary is still published and used in India.<ref name=":5" />

== Death ==
Ahmaq died on 8 August 1957, leaving behind a legacy of resistance, literary contributions, and dedication to independence.<ref name=":1" /> The poet [[Khalid Ahmad]] was his son, born to his second wife, Anwar Jahan Begum, who migrated to [[Pakistan]] in [[Partition of India|1947]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Renowned poet Khalid Ahmad passes away – Business Recorder |url=https://fp.brecorder.com/2013/03/201303201165722/ |access-date=2025-03-11 |language=en-US}}</ref>
