Note: The incumbent party [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] did not contest this seat in 2004. Instead it was contested by its [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA) coalition partner [[Pattali Makkal Katchi]] (PMK), who won the seat. Thus, the UPA held the seat. PMK had not contested this seat in the previous [[1999 Indian general election|1999 elections]].&lt;br /&gt;

They were originally written in 40 volumes, only the first five of which are extant in their entirety.

Polybius, a historian from the [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] city of [[Megalopolis, Greece|Megalopolis]] in [[Arcadia (ancient region)|Arcadia]], was taken as a hostage to Rome after the Roman victory in the [[Third Macedonian War]] (171–168 BC), and there he began to write an account of the rise of Rome to a [[great power]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Polybius Histories Papyrus.jpg|thumb|Polybius&#039; Histories 13.8–16.8; [[Rylands Papyri|P. Ryl.]] Gr. 1 60, discovered in [[Faiyum]], 2nd–3rd century AD ([[University of Manchester Library]]) &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Histories&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Polybius&#039; &#039;&#039;Histories&#039;&#039; begin in the year 264 BC and end in 146 BC (Polybius was born around 200 BC and died around 117 BC). He is primarily concerned with the 53 years in which [[Ancient Rome]] became a dominant world power. This period, from 220&amp;amp;ndash;167 BC, saw Rome subjugate [[Carthage]] and [[Roman annexation of mainland Greece|gain control]] over [[Hellenistic Greece]]. Books I through V cover the affairs of important states at the time ([[Ptolemaic Egypt]], [[Hellenistic Greece]], [[Macedon]]) and deal extensively with the First and Second [[Punic War]]s. In Book VI he describes the [[Roman Constitution]] and outlines the powers of the [[Roman consul|consul]]s, [[Roman Senate|Senate]] and [[SPQR|People]]. The differences between the first set of states, namely, [[Athens]] and [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]], and the second set which consists of those of [[Sparta]], [[Crete]], [[Mantinea]] and [[Carthage]] he asserted, on the ground that the states of [[Athens]] and [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]] followed an &amp;quot;abnormal&amp;quot; growth. By &amp;quot;abnormal&amp;quot; Polybius means that these states due both the rise to the pinnacle of their power and the downfall to the caprice of fortune. It is chiefly because the Athenians had such leaders as [[Themistocles]], and the Thebans [[Pelopidas]] and [[Epaminondas]], that the two states have on their side the favors of fortune for a time. The view of Polybius on the age of [[Pericles]] might, to some extent, be considered as contrary to what most modern historians thought was the Golden Age of Greece. He then compares the political system of the Roman state to that of the Cretans, the Spartans, and shows in what aspect the laws of Rome are superior to those of the Carthaginians. He concludes that the success of the Roman state was based on their mixed constitution, which combined elements of a [[democracy]], [[aristocracy]], and [[monarchy]]. The remainder of the &#039;&#039;Histories&#039;&#039; discusses the period in which Rome came to dominate the Mediterranean, from the defeat of [[Hannibal]] in 201 BC to the destruction of [[Third Punic War|Carthage]] and the Greek city-state of [[Battle of Corinth (146 BC)|Corinth]] in 146 BC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Polybius on &#039;&#039;tyche&#039;&#039;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tyche]], which means fate or fortune, plays an integral role in Polybius’ understanding of history. Tyche takes on a double meaning in his work. It can mean fortune or happenstance, but tyche was also personified as a goddess according to [[Hellenistic Period|Hellenistic]] convention. The exploration of Tyche is also the impetus for Polybius beginning his work, in that he discusses the fortunate events that led to [[Rome]]’s domination of the Mediterranean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Polybius on government==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Curia Iulia.JPG|thumb|The [[Curia Julia]] in the [[Roman Forum]], the seat of the Roman Senate.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In Book VI Polybius digresses into an explanation of the Roman [[constitution]] and he shows it to be mixed. The purpose for this is involved in the Hellenistic nature of the work, particularly his Greek audience. Greeks at this time believed that the strength of a [[Sovereign state|state]] is manifested in the strength of its constitution. The mixed constitution was touted as the strongest constitution as it combined [[Aristotle|Aristotle&#039;s]] three integral types of [[government]]: [[monarchy]], [[aristocracy]] and [[democracy]]. Polybius, again in imitation of Aristotle, makes further distinction in the forms of government by including the nefarious counterparts to the ones mentioned above; [[tyranny]], [[oligarchy]], and [[ochlocracy]]. These governments, according to Polybius, cycle in a process called [[anacyclosis]] or [[kyklos]], which begins with monarchy and ends with ochlocracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reactions==&lt;br /&gt;
His histories have an aristocratic ethos and reveal his opinions on honor, wealth and war. His histories have literary merit and interpretations of facts and events.{{cn|date=February 2026}}&lt;br /&gt;

Mahesh Waghadkar, a resident of Bhenda village in [[Nevasa taluka]] of [[Ahmednagar district]] files an [[First information report|FIR]] against some people who claim to be employees of the [[Mantralaya, Mumbai|Mantralaya]] in Mumbai. Waghadkar has accused him of promising him a government job in the [[Mantralaya, Mumbai|Mantralaya]] (Secretariat). The accused demanded Rs 5 lakh along with an advance of Rs 2 lakh for the job and also took the money from Waghadkar at [[Rahuri]] bus stand on 4 September. Although Waghadkar paid the money and the accused promised to give him a job, Waghadkar became suspicious and approached the police on 9 September. The police arrested the accused Dattatraya Kshirsagar, Akash Shinde, Omkar Tarte on the same day and confirmed that they were not employees of the Mantralaya. Pawar&#039;s name came up during the investigation and he was taken to Rahuri police station for questioning.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Suraj Pawar: Sairat fame actor Suraj Pawar has been accused of cheating in the name of job |url=https://www.amarujala.com/photo-gallery/entertainment/bollywood/sairat-fame-actor-suraj-pawar-booked-in-job-fraud-case-in-maharashtra |access-date=2023-04-01 |website=[[Amar Ujala]] |language=hi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2022-09-15 |title=Suraj Pawar: Prince Suraj Pawar in &#039;Sairat&#039; will be arrested?

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ur|{{nq|ہم سفر}}|lit=Companion or Life Partner}})&amp;lt;ref name=reaches/&amp;gt; is a 2011 Pakistani television series based on the [[Humsafar (novel)|novel of the same name]] by [[Farhat Ishtiaq]] (who also wrote the screenplay) and directed by [[Sarmad Sultan Khoosat]]. It stars [[Fawad Khan]], [[Mahira Khan]], and [[Naveen Waqar]] in lead roles and [[Atiqa Odho]], [[Hina Khawaja Bayat]], [[Behroze Sabzwari]] and [[Noor Hassan Rizvi]] in supporting roles. The series was first broadcast on 24 September 2011 on [[Hum TV]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039; became the most successful program on the channel at the time, earning it widespread acclaim and international recognition.&amp;lt;ref name=noise/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=odho/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=reaches/&amp;gt; Due to its success, critics referred to this era of [[Pakistani dramas|Pakistani television]] as a &amp;quot;Golden Age&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Drama Serials:Golden Age?|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/699862/drama-serials-golden-age |first=Sbahat |last=Zakariya|work=DAWN.COM|date=29 November 2015|access-date= 3 March 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was claimed as the highest-rated serial of its time in Pakistan, with the [[Target rating point|TRPs]] of 10.71, peaking at 13.9 TRPs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Khirad Ahsaan belongs to a lower-middle-class community in [[Hyderabad, Sindh|Hyderabad]] and lives with her widowed mother, Maimoona, in a small apartment. As the series begins, she has recently completed her [[Bachelor of Science]] and is very strong in [[Mathematics]] as her father was a maths teacher. Maimoona&#039;s brother, Baseerat Hussain, is a self-made millionaire, who lives in [[Karachi]]. He is married to Farida, a social worker who runs a human rights [[NGO]]. They have one son, Ashar, who has an MBA from [[Yale University|Yale]] and runs the family&#039;s high-powered firm with his father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Maimoona receives a cancer diagnosis, Baseerat brings her and Khirad to his large home in [[Karachi]] for treatment. When she realizes there is no cure, Maimoona asks Baseerat to arrange a marriage for Khirad. Feeling guilty for not taking better care of Maimoona, Baseerat compensates by promising that [[Cousin marriage#Pakistan|Ashar will marry Khirad]], unbeknownst to Farida, Khirad, or Ashar. Farida opposes the match until Baseerat threatens to throw her out of the house if she does not accept it. While initially opposed, Ashar is emotionally manipulated by his father for the marriage, as well as Khirad by her mother. Sara, who is Ashar’s maternal cousin and childhood best friend who is in love with him, attempts suicide after both learning about the match and hearing from Ashar that he only sees her as a friend. After he rescues her, she promises to move on.  Despite being against the idea, Ashar and Khirad get married in a simple nikkah ceremony. Within a short period, Maimoona dies, and Farida appears to have had a change of heart, treating Khirad as a daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After an initial period of complications, Ashar and Khirad eventually find themselves deeply in love with each other. After Baseerat&#039;s sudden death, and encouraged by Ashar to follow her dreams, Khirad enrolls in a master&#039;s program in [[applied mathematics]]. Shortly after joining the program, she discovers that one of her classmates named Khizar, is Sara&#039;s paternal first cousin. Ashar becomes secretly jealous of their friendship. Khirad&#039;s involvement in college and her achievements also bother him. She and Farida also learn that Khirad is pregnant but decide to keep it as a surprise for Ashar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Khirad never has the opportunity to tell him the news because she has been framed by Khizar, Farida, and Zarina who is Sara’s mother. Khirad learns that the love and attention from Farida, Zarina, and Khizar was a facade that hid a complex conspiracy. Farida feels that because Khirad had a lower-class upbringing, she is beneath Ashar. Zarina hopes that Sara will stop obsessing over Ashar&#039;s marriage to Khirad. Farida made a deal with Khizar to pay for his graduate studies in the United States and a marriage to Sara, unbeknownst to Sara and Zarina. With Baseerat gone, Farida, who never forgave him for threatening to throw her out, convinces Ashar that Khirad and Khizar had an affair, despite Khirad’s pleas of innocence. Unable to bear the idea and unwilling to hear Khirad&#039;s side of the story, Ashar leaves the house for a while. Farida uses his absence to further fabricate and throws Khirad out of the house in the middle of the night as an act of revenge against Baseerat. Khirad quickly writes a note to Ashar proclaiming her innocence and leaves it with one of the house helpers. She is then taken to Hyderabad by a [[Parable of the Good Samaritan#As a metaphor and name|good samaritan]] and finds a home with her former neighbour, Batool Bano. As Farida told Ashar that Khirad had run away with Khizar, Ashar declines Khirad&#039;s multiple calls. Thus, she realises that she will never be able to convince him of her innocence and gives up on their marriage. She gives birth alone to a premature baby and decides she would raise Hareem herself, working as a math teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four years later, driven by Hareem&#039;s need for open heart surgery, Khirad confronts Ashar. Her youthful innocence and fear of the world have now been both replaced by a firm and courageous persona that allows her to stand up to Ashar. She has also learned how to protect herself with documentation, evidence that forces Ashar to accept the reality that Hareem, whom he did not know existed, is his daughter. He brings them back home during the medical procedures. Khirad is then forced to confront both Sara and Farida, but the strength, independence, and confidence born of her hardships prevent them from bullying her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sara confesses her love to Ashar again, but he informs her that he cannot love anyone and that she should stop pursuing him. Khizar returns from America and starts to blackmail Farida by threatening to reveal Khirad&#039;s innocence to Ashar if Sara does not marry him. Under pressure, Farida visits Sara and urges her to marry Khizar, but Sara and her mother refuse. Distraught, Sara attempts suicide again, and this time she succeeds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Hareem&#039;s successful operation, Khirad secretly returns to Hyderabad and leaves Hareem with Ashar, telling him through a letter that he has full custody because she is not financially capable of taking care of her. However, the period with Khirad rekindled Ashar&#039;s feelings for her. While looking through a box of albums, Ashar finds Khirad&#039;s letter from four years earlier and finally reads it for the first time. The truth of the letter overwhelms him as he realizes he committed a terrible mistake in believing the scene from four years before. He then overhears a phone call between Farida and Khizar, which confirms that what he saw was a fabrication and that Farida deliberately threw Khirad out in order to disavow the unborn child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horrified by the reality of his unintentional complicity with the conspiracy against Khirad, he flees to Hyderabad to beg her for forgiveness. He manages to convince Khirad to return home, where they face Farida. In his absence, Farida had found the letter, and thus upon seeing them both, begins to repeat her series of lies. However, Ashar stands up to her, perhaps for the first time. He rejects Farida&#039;s narrative, proclaims Khirad&#039;s innocence, and states that she belongs in this home with their daughter. Farida becomes so frightened by Ashar&#039;s decision to support Khirad that she has a nervous breakdown and loses all connection with reality. Ashar takes full responsibility for all the events and begs Khirad to stay with him. Khirad is hesitant, stating that she is a different person now and that she isn&#039;t certain she can love him as she used to. She also wonders how Ashar could have imagined she was capable of the narrative fabricated about her and how he could have abandoned her if he genuinely loved her. Deeply ashamed, Ashar agrees and states that it was entirely his fault and that he has no right to expect she can ever forgive him. However, he hopes she will stay so they can raise Hareem together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khirad reluctantly consents to the arrangement, and a few months later, the three are shown enjoying in the rain as a happy family.&lt;br /&gt;

==Deviations from the novel==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Humsafar (novel)}}&lt;br /&gt;
Although author [[Farhat Ishtiaq]] adapted the screenplay from her novel, [[Humsafar (novel)|&#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039;]], there are differences between the two. While the novel is narrated from Hareem&#039;s perspective, the serial focuses on Khirad and Asher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the novel, Ashar is the brother of two sisters, while in the serial he has no siblings. In the novel, Sara is a minor character who is never close to Asher, becomes mentally ill and is hospitalised. In the serial, Sara is the main character who loves Ashar, is the love interest of Khizar, and dies at the end. In the novel, Khizar loves a girl named Mehreen and never returns from [[United States]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khirad and Maimoona reside in [[Nawabshah]] in the novel, while the serial&#039;s location is in [[Hyderabad, Sindh|Hyderabad]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the drama ends with Farida&#039;s nervous breakdown and Ashar and Khirad&#039;s slow reconciliation, the novel ends with Asher begging Khirad to take him back and Khirad falling into his arms.&lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
===Development===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Humsafar’&#039;&#039;s producer [[Momina Duraid]], notes that its development was somewhat serendipitous. Duraid was working with author [[Farhat Ishtiaq]] on another of her works when she suggested &#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039; as a potential project (because Duraid had just read “and thoroughly enjoyed” the novel). Ishtiaq then told her that &#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039; “had already been declined by two production houses,” to which Duraid responded: “If I can feel it,&amp;quot; then the &amp;quot;public can feel it as well&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=nasha/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ishtiaq states that when she started working on the novel, she &amp;quot;wanted to understand if the idea of love is complete without trust.&amp;quot; Although she wrote the screenplay for &#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039;, she states that the novel differs from the television series, as &amp;quot;the former is more about the child, while the show concentrates on the parents as lovers&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=nasha/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Human rights activist Abira Ashfaq notes that “the terrible appeal of &#039;&#039;Humsafar&#039;&#039; is that it confirms characters and stories set in deeply patriarchal frameworks. It is sexist justice that soothes the hearts of patriarchal vigilantes and keeps us on because we want to see the mother-in-law shamed, humiliated and thrust out, and moral purity rise to the top in the reunion of Khirad and Ashar. It is a modern-day fairy tale, better than &#039;&#039;[[Cinderella]]&#039;&#039;, worse than &#039;&#039;[[Shrek]]&#039;&#039;; the born-again revival of TV drama in a tweeting world.”&amp;lt;ref name=terribleappeal/&amp;gt; Kanika Rajani of &#039;&#039;The Indian Express&#039;&#039; argues that the series is unique in its decision to portray its protagonists as flawed, particularly &amp;quot;Asher’s frustration at his initial failed attempts to communicate with his wife.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=not&amp;gt;{{cite web&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In a conversation with &#039;&#039;[[The Express Tribune]]&#039;&#039; in March 2021 , screenwriter [[Bee Gul]] found the series as &amp;quot;regressive&amp;quot;, saying it didn&#039;t showcase a strong or positive narrative, and she further felt the show&#039;s depiction of abuse could normalize it in viewers&#039; eyes, and that the protagonist should have stood up for herself.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/2290760/why-the-bad-woman-is-so-good-for-the-tv-industry |title=Why the bad woman is so good for the TV industry |work=[[The Express Tribune]] |date=22 March 2021 |author=Rida Lodhi }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Response to Khirad===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mahira Khan]]&#039;s portrayal of &amp;quot;Khirad&amp;quot; received positive feedback from critics and was popular with viewers when the serial debuted.&amp;lt;ref name=khirad&amp;gt;{{cite web&lt;br /&gt;

}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To those who called Khirad a &amp;quot;downtrodden woman,&amp;quot; Khan argued, &amp;quot;No, she was not. Go back and look at it, and there is a reason why she was not because the slap was removed from it, there were things that were removed and there were things that were brought in just to show that she had a spine.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=spine&amp;gt;{{cite web&lt;br /&gt;

A large number of the films were co-produced with companies such as [[Red Chillies Entertainment]], [[Star Studios]], [[Zee Studios]] and [[Viacom18 Studios]]. In addition, Dharma Productions has presented ten other-Indian language films from other companies. The most frequent collaborations of the company have been with the actors [[Alia Bhatt]], [[Shah Rukh Khan]], [[Sidharth Malhotra]], [[Kareena Kapoor Khan]], [[Amitabh Bachchan]], [[Ranbir Kapoor]], [[Kajol]], [[Varun Dhawan]] and [[Sanjay Dutt]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Types of puffed grain made from rice}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Redirect-distinguish|Crispy rice|Crunchy rice}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PuffedRice.jpg|thumb|Puffed rice]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Puffed rice&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;popped rice&#039;&#039;&#039; (or &#039;&#039;&#039;pop rice&#039;&#039;&#039;) are types of [[puffed grain]] made from [[rice]] commonly eaten in the traditional cuisines of [[Southeast Asia]], [[East Asia]], and [[South Asia]]. It has also been produced commercially in the [[Western world|West]] since 1904 and is popular in [[breakfast cereal]]s and other snack foods. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional methods to puff or pop rice include frying in [[Deep frying|oil]] or [[Hot salt frying|salt]]. Commercial puffed rice is usually made by heating rice kernels under [[high pressure]] in the presence of [[steam]], though the method of manufacture varies widely. They are either eaten as loose grains or made into [[puffed rice cakes]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commercial popped rice was developed by American inventor [[Alexander P. Anderson]] while he was ascertaining the water content of starch granules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
While the terms &amp;quot;puffed rice&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;popped rice&amp;quot; are used interchangeably, they are properly different processes. Puffed rice refers to pre-gelatinized rice grains (either by being [[parboil]]ed, boiled, or soaked) that are puffed by the rapid expansion of steam upon cooking. Puffed rice retains the shape of the rice grain, but is much larger. Popped rice, on the other hand, refers to rice grains where the [[Rice hulls|hull]] or the [[bran]] is intact. When cooked, the kernel explodes through the hard outer covering due to heating. Popped rice has an irregular shape similar to [[popcorn]]. There are various methods, both modern and traditional, for making puffed and popped rice.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Juliano&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Juliano |first1=Bienvenido O. |title=Rice in human nutrition |date=1993 |publisher=International Rice Research Institute, FAO |url=http://www.fao.org/3/t0567e/T0567E0k.htm#Expanded%20(puffed,%20popped)%20rice%20products}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Traditional versions by region==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===East Asia===&lt;br /&gt;
Puffed rice or other grains are occasionally found as street food in [[China]] (called &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;mixiang&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; 米香), [[Taiwan]] (called &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;bí-phang&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; 米芳), [[Korea]] (called &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;ppeong twigi&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; 뻥튀기), and [[Japan]] (called &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;pon gashi&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; [[:ja:ポン菓子|ポン菓子]]), where hawkers implement the puffing process using an integrated pushcart/puffer featuring a rotating steel [[Pressure vessel|pressure chamber]] heated over an open flame. The great booming sound produced by the release of pressure serves as advertising.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====China====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Puffed rice cakes.jpg|thumb|Puffed rice cakes in [[China]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
The earliest mention of puffed rice in [[China]] is in [[Zhejiang|Zhejiang Province]], from a book by [[Fan Chengda]] written in the [[Song dynasty]] (c. 1100). It was part of the rituals of the Spring Festival and was made in large cooking pots known as &#039;&#039;fǔ&#039;&#039; (釜) which was heated with woodfire. Puffed rice, known as &#039;&#039;bào chǎo mǐ huā lou&#039;&#039; (爆炒米花), is still a traditional street food in [[Shanghai]] where it is made by frying rice in oil and sugar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Bào Chǎo Mǐ Huā – Puffed Rice – 爆炒米花 |url=https://sh-streetfood.org/bao-chao-mi-hua-puffed-rice-%E7%88%86%E7%82%92%E7%B1%B3%E8%8A%B1/ |website=Movable Feasts |access-date=14 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Japan====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Japanese kaminari okoshi 2014.jpg|thumb|left|Various types of &#039;&#039;kaminari-okoshi&#039;&#039; from [[Japan]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional puffed rice cakes in [[Japanese cuisine]] are known as {{nihongo||雷粔籹|kaminari-okoshi}} &#039;thunder cakes&#039; or simply {{nihongo||おこし|okoshi}}. In Edo Japan, the name okoshi was related to good luck, as the similar word okosu means to establish or set up.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Edo Okoshi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Okoshi, Osaka&#039;s confectionary|url= http://kansai-odyssey.com/okoshi-osaka/ |website=Kansai Odyssey |date= 2 May 2018 |access-date=24 May 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is made by deep-frying sun-dried rice grains until they pop. It is then mixed with syrup (and other ingredients like peanuts or sesame seeds), pressed into trays, and dried. They are cut up into squarish or rectangular blocks before being sold. Traditional okoshi boxes feature images of [[Raijin]], the Japanese god of thunder and lightning. Its earliest attestation was during the middle of the [[Edo period]], when it was sold as a snack outside the [[Sensō-ji]] of [[Asakusa]], [[Tokyo]]. Modern &#039;&#039;okoshi&#039;&#039; can use a variety of other ingredients and flavors and are usually factory-made.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Okoshi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Okoshi |url=https://www.tasteatlas.com/okoshi/recipe |website=tasteatlas |access-date=14 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another type of Japanese puffed rice snack is {{nihongo||にんじん|ninjin}}, which are loose puffed rice grains. Its name literally means &amp;quot;carrot&amp;quot; because it is sold in a carrot-shaped cone.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Tomo&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Ninjin: Classic Puffed Rice Snack in Carrot-like Packaging |url=https://japanese-products.blog/2019/02/21/ninjin-dagashi-snack/ |website=Tomo |date=21 February 2019 |access-date=14 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puffed rice is also used in {{nihongo||玄米茶|genmaicha}}, &amp;quot;brown rice tea&amp;quot;, a traditional Japanese tea beverage consisting of green tea mixed with roasted puffed brown rice.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title= Genmaicha at ocha.tv|url= http://ocha.tv/varieties/nihoncha_varieties/genmaicha/|access-date= 2020-11-14|archive-date= 2018-02-09|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180209180750/http://www.ocha.tv/varieties/nihoncha_varieties/genmaicha/|url-status= dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Gangjeong.jpg|thumb|&#039;&#039;[[Gangjeong]]&#039;&#039; from [[South Korea]] coated with puffed rice]]&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Korean cuisine|Korea]], puffed rice is known as &#039;&#039;twibap&#039;&#039; ({{lang|ko|튀밥}}) and is used to make &#039;&#039;[[yeot-gangjeong]]&#039;&#039; or to coat &#039;&#039;[[gangjeong]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;SKLD&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://stdweb2.korean.go.kr/search/View.jsp?idx=349280|title=Twibap|website=[[Standard Korean Language Dictionary]]|publisher=[[National Institute of Korean Language]]|language=ko|script-title=ko:튀밥|access-date=5 August 2017|archive-date=5 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170805101600/http://stdweb2.korean.go.kr/search/View.jsp?idx=349280|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Korea also has a tea beverage made with puffed rice called &#039;&#039;[[Brown rice green tea|hyeonmi-nokcha]]&#039;&#039; (현미녹차, literally &amp;quot;brown rice green tea&amp;quot;), which is made with green tea and roasted puffed brown rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Taiwan====&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Taiwanese cuisine|Taiwan]], puffed rice is known as &#039;&#039;Bí-phang&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;pōng-bí-phang&#039;&#039; ({{lang|zh-tw|磅米芳}}, the word &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;pōng&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; is the sound of the explosion when the pressure furnace is opened) in [[Taiwanese Hokkien|Taiwanese]] and &#039;&#039;Mi-hsiang&#039;&#039; ({{lang|zh-tw|米香}}) in [[Taiwanese Mandarin|Mandarin]]. This snack gained popularity during the postwar period, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, when mobile puffed rice vendors were common sights in Taiwanese neighbourhoods. These vendors would travel with portable puffing machines and prepare the snack on the spot, attracting children with the dramatic sound and the distinctive aroma of toasted rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In recent years, Taiwan’s traditional puffed rice, which once found only in classic peanut-flavoured versions, has undergone a modern revival across the country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=另類的中秋月餅 泉利米月餅溫馨香溢|author=張穎齊|url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20171002003538-260405?chdtv|date=2017-10-02|accessdate=2024-10-10|publisher=[[China Times]]|language=zh-tw}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In [[Keelung]], a once-struggling puffed rice shop has reinvented its product line by introducing over twenty new sweet and savoury flavours.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=老店新創意 米香的幸福方程式|url=https://www.ttv.com.tw/info/view.asp?id=46341&amp;amp;from=619|date=2021-04-11|accessdate=2024-10-10|publisher=[[Taiwan Television]]|language=zh-tw}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These include coffee, cranberry, seafood, and sakura shrimp varieties, wrapped in innovative packaging that earned its place among Keelung’s top ten souvenir gifts—especially popular with wedding banquets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=米香變時尚　炒出營收三千萬|author=白詩瑜|url=https://www.cw.com.tw/article/5047228|date=2013-02-05|accessdate=2024-10-10|publisher=[[CommonWealth Magazine (Taiwan)]]|language=zh-tw}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In [[Filipino cuisine]], traditional puffed rice is known as &#039;&#039;[[ampaw]]&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;ampao&#039;&#039; (a term which also became applied to [[popcorn]]). It is made with cooked white rice (usually leftovers). It is dried in the sun for around four hours. They are then fried in hot oil to make them [[Puffed grain|puff up]]. The oil is drained thoroughly after frying. The sugar glazing is cooked separately using [[muscovado]] sugar or [[molasses]] (or [[corn syrup]]),  salt, butter, and vinegar or [[calamansi]] juice. The glazing is poured onto the puffed rice and mixed until the grains are evenly coated. It is then allowed to cool and shaped into the desired form before it fully hardens. They are usually cut into square or rectangular blocks or molded into balls.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Ampaw (Puffed Rice) |url=https://www.mamasguiderecipes.com/2017/08/02/ampaw-puffed-rice/ |website=Mama&#039;s Guid Recipes |date=2 August 2017 |access-date=28 March 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Filipino traditional snack: AMPAO (dried rice with sugar and lemon) |url=https://sharsy.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/filipino-traditional-snack-ampao-dried-rice-with-sugar-and-lemon/ |website=Sharsy |date=8 April 2014 |access-date=28 March 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Puffed Rice (Ampaw) |url=https://www.atbp.ph/2017/03/24/puffed-rice-ampaw/ |website=Atbp.ph |date=24 March 2017 |access-date=28 March 2019 |archive-date=28 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328070047/https://www.atbp.ph/2017/03/24/puffed-rice-ampaw/ |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Thailand====&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Thai cuisine]], a traditional popped rice snack is &#039;&#039;krayasaat&#039;&#039; (กระยาสารท). It is associated with the Buddhist &#039;&#039;Saat&#039;&#039; festival, which is celebrated in autumn. It can be made with regular rice or glutinous rice. It is roasted directly in a dry pan like popcorn until it pops. It is mixed with caramelized palm sugar, coconut milk, peanuts, sesame seeds, and &#039;&#039;khao mao&#039;&#039; (pounded green rice).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Vegan Thai Kanom (Thai Desserts) |url=https://www.messyvegancook.com/vegan-thai-kanom-thai-desserts/ |website=MessyVeganCook |date=13 May 2019 |access-date=14 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Malaysia====&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Iban cuisine]], parched glutinous rice, which is known as &#039;&#039;rendai&#039;&#039;, is toasted in a hot wok or pan without adding oil in it until it &amp;quot;pops&amp;quot; or puffs much like how popcorn is made. It is traditionally served for the Miring ceremony, which is a ritual to appease the &#039;&#039;petara&#039;&#039; (gods) and spirits for prosperity, health and protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Malay cuisine]], traditional puffed rice is known as &#039;&#039;bepang pulut&#039;&#039; especially in Terengganu state. Glutinous rice is dried under sunlight and cooked with palm sugar. It is different from regular &#039;&#039;bepang&#039;&#039; which uses ground nuts instead of glutinous rice. Bepang pulut is famous as a gift from the host to guests at a wedding ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;

It is a [[staple food]] in [[Bihar]], [[Odisha]], [[West Bengal]], [[Andhra Pradesh]], and [[Telangana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has been made since ancient times using a technique called [[hot salt frying]] in which parboiled rice (i.e. steamed and then dried) is puffed by preheated salt.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Chur1886&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Food-Grains in India |last=Church |first=A.

Parboiled or dried pre-cooked rice is added to the heated contents of the pan and stirred. Puffing starts almost immediately and completes in less than a minute and the rice is scooped out by a sieve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puffed rice is an ingredient of [[bhel puri]], a popular Indian &#039;&#039;[[chaat]]&#039;&#039; (snack). It is offered to Hindu gods and goddesses in all [[Puja (Hinduism)|pujas]] in the southern Indian states of [[Kerala]] and [[Tamil Nadu]]. Pilgrims of [[Sabarimala Temple|Sabarimala]] often pack puffed rice in their travel pouch along with jaggery meant to be offered to [[Ayyappan]]. &#039;&#039;Pori&#039;&#039; has been mentioned in various [[Tamil language|Tamil]] texts as an offering to Hindu deities. Offerings of pori and [[jaggery]] made to [[Ganesha]] are mentioned in the &#039;&#039;[[Tiruppukal]]&#039;&#039;, a 15th-century anthology of Tamil religious songs, written by Tamil poet [[Arunagirinathar]]. In [[Gujarati cuisine]] it is called &#039;mamra&#039; and is often used to make a dry snack by shallow frying in oil with spices or made into sweet balls using [[jaggery]] and [[ghee]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Telangana, as a snack typically given to children, puffed rice or borugulu is made into a ball with jaggery sugar syrup or bellam pakam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Karnataka]], puffed rice is mixed with carrots, tomatoes, spices and coriander leaves to make churumuri, a popular evening snack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the initiative of [[Make in India]], the Central Government of India decided that mudhi from [[Odisha]] would be part of Indian traditional food among 12 traditional dishes from different states that would be launched globally.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1150804/jsp/odisha/story_35223.jsp#.VcBR4_mqqko |title=Humble mudhi makes it big |website=www.telegraphindia.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150807155231/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1150804/jsp/odisha/story_35223.jsp |archive-date=2015-08-07}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/Mudhi-to-be-a-part-of-global-Make-in-India-campaign/articleshow/48319625.cms|title=Mudhi to be a part of global &#039;Make in India&#039; campaign &amp;amp;#124; Bhubaneswar News - Times of India|website=The Times of India|date=2 August 2015 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Mithila (proposed Indian state)|Mithila]] and [[Bengal]] area, puffed rice is had with &amp;quot;kachari&amp;quot;-fried potato/onion chops, fried fish or with mutton curry. &amp;quot;Jhal-muri&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Murhi-Bhuja&amp;quot; are also very popular snacks in this area. In Madhya Pradesh, this is referred to as Parmal and it is very often eaten with [[Sev (food)|Sev]] as a snack and also used in [[Bhel puri|Bhel]]. In some areas it is also known as laai and dishes made from it are called sweet laai, laai poha etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bangladesh====&lt;br /&gt;
Puffed Rice called Muri in Bengali is a popular snack in Bangladesh. Mostly used to make &#039;&#039;[[Jhalmuri]],&#039;&#039; it is the most common and cheapest snack in Bangladesh. They use the same ancient method as India to prepare the puffed rice. This snack can be found anywhere in Bangladesh. In Old Dhaka, the &#039;&#039;jhalmuri -wala&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Jhalmuri-seller)&#039;&#039; is still often seen dressed in colourful clothes, wearing anklet bells and calling out to the residents. Puffed rice is also mixed with jaggery and shaped into a rounded ball snack called &#039;&#039;murir moa&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

In 1960s [[Czechoslovak Socialist Republic|Czechoslovakia]], state firm Vitana was the first to begin the production of &#039;expanded rice&#039;, as plain flavoured or sweetened snack.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last=Urc|first=Rudolf|date=2014|title=Vzdialené roky, blízke témy|work=film.sk|url=http://www.filmsk.sk/uploads/wnm/page/pdf_sk/1336/f.sk-MAJ-2014-web.pdf|access-date=21 August 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The product became popular under the names burizony ({{langx|cs|burisony}}) or arizonky.

Puffed rice is formed by the reaction of both [[starch]] and moisture when heated within the shell of the grain. Unlike corn, rice kernels are naturally lacking in moisture and must first be conditioned with [[steam]]. Puffed rice can be created by heating the steam-conditioned kernels either with oil or in an oven. Rice puffed in this way is crisp, and known as &amp;quot;crisped rice&amp;quot;. Oven-crisped rice is used to produce the [[Rice Krispies]] breakfast cereal as well as the crisped rice used in [[Lion (chocolate bar)|Lion Bar]]s, [[Crunch (chocolate bar)|Nestlé Crunch]], [[Krackel]], and similar chocolate bars.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;What is Rice Krispy?&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question393.htm|title=What is a Rice Krispy? What is it made out of and how do they make it?|date=June 2, 2000|website=HowStuffWorks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Though not as dramatic a change when compared to popcorn, the process and result are the same.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;What is Rice Krispy?&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another method of puffing rice is &amp;quot;gun puffing&amp;quot;, where the grain is conditioned to the correct level of moisture and pressurized to around {{Convert|200|psi|abbr=on}}. When the pressure is suddenly released, the pressure stored inside the kernel causes it to puff out. This method produces a puffed rice which is spongy in texture.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;What is Rice Krispy?&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rice can also be puffed by making a rice dough, and extruding small pellets which are then rapidly heated. The moisture in the dough [[Steam explosion|flash boil]]s and puffs the rice up. A cereal such as [[Cap&#039;n Crunch]] is extruded, cooked, cut, pressurized, puffed and dried in a continuous process.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;What is Rice Krispy?&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The method of modern industrial puffed rice production is attributed to American inventor [[Alexander P. Anderson]], who stumbled across puffing while trying to ascertain the water content of a single granule of starch. Anderson introduced the first puffing machine at the World&#039;s Fair in [[St. Louis|St. Louis, Missouri]], in 1904. His eight &amp;quot;guns&amp;quot; that puffed grains for Fair goers were dubbed &amp;quot;The Eighth Wonder of the World&amp;quot; by an advertising billboard poster. Once the puffing principle, technique, and technology had been discovered by Anderson, the competition to puff ready-to-eat American breakfast cereal took over the economy of [[Battle Creek, Michigan]], with Kellogg&#039;s and Quaker Oats being two memorable and still active names to endure through the early puffing frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the United States and Europe, puffed rice is served with milk as a breakfast cereal, a popular brand of this is Rice Krispies. Some chocolate bars, such as the [[Nestlé Crunch]], include puffed rice, and puffed rice cakes are sold as low-calorie snacks.&lt;br /&gt;

In the United States, a flat disk of puffed rice was sold as &amp;quot;rice cakes&amp;quot; by the company Chico-San in the 1970s. These rice cakes were marketed as low-calorie &amp;quot;saucers&amp;quot; meant to be eaten with toppings like [[cottage cheese]], jelly, and fruit. Chico-San was eventually acquired by [[Heinz]] in 1984, at which time the [[Quaker Oats Company]] also developed their own rice cake marketed as a &amp;quot;low-carb alternative to bread&amp;quot;. Rice cakes became a [[fad diet]] in the 1980s and 1990s in the United States. In 1993, Quaker Oats Company also acquired Chico-San, their biggest competitor, from Heinz. Rice cakes are also produced by other companies including [[Lundberg Family Farms]], [[Hain Celestial Group]], and [[Whole Foods Market]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Houck&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Houck |first1=Brenna |title=The Rise and Fall of the Quaker Rice Cake, America&#039;s One-Time Favorite Health Snack |url=https://www.eater.com/2020/9/17/21444184/history-of-quaker-rice-cakes-americas-favorite-health-snack |access-date=27 May 2023 |work=Eater |date=17 September 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Quaker Buys Chico-San from Heinz to Puff Up Rice Cake Business |url=https://apnews.com/article/b5fa649e39e5be31c0096fd7d077d722 |access-date=27 May 2023 |work=AP News |date=19 May 1993}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Varkonyi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Varkonyi |first1=Charlyne |title=Rice takes the cake when it comes to Low-Calorie, High-Fiber Eating |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1986-06-19-8602130900-story.html |access-date=27 May 2023 |work=Chicago Tribune |date=19 June 1986}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These puffed rice cakes are typically sold plain or blandly-seasoned, with the most popular flavor being lightly salted. They are also sold in flavored versions, including caramel, chocolate, cinnamon toast. They are popularly disk-shaped, but can also be sold as squares.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Houck&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Netherlands]], disk-shaped puffed rice cakes are commonly sold in cylindrical packaging in supermarkets. Puffed rice cakes are also sold in a variety of different flavors within [[Sweden]].&lt;br /&gt;

The soundtrack album of &#039;&#039;[[Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana]]&#039;&#039; which was released on 21 December 2004, made DSP one of the most prolific musicians in India. For the first time in his music career, Prasad remixed the song &amp;quot;Prema Kosamai Volalo&amp;quot; sung by [[Ghantasala (musician)|Ghantasala]] for the 1951 film &#039;&#039;[[Pathala Bhairavi]]&#039;&#039;. A reviewer of &#039;&#039;[[Idlebrain.com]]&#039;&#039; felt DSP had his best outcome. He cited that &amp;quot;The songs might not sound great when you listen on stereo.

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Hyundai Atos&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ko|현대 아토스}}) is a [[city car]] that was produced by the South Korean manufacturer [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] from 1997 until 2014. It was also marketed under the &#039;&#039;&#039;Atoz&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Amica&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Hyundai Santro|Santro]]&#039;&#039;&#039; model names. From 1999, the Atos with a different rear fascia and restyled rear side doors is marketed as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Atos Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; and in South Korea and Indonesia as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Kia Visto&#039;&#039;&#039;. It has been available only with a five-door [[hatchback]] body style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was replaced in most markets by the [[Hyundai i10|i10]] in 2007, but production continued in India until late 2014. The [[Hyundai Santro|Santro]] nameplate, used in India, was revived in October 2018.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=The demise of a star brand|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/management/the-demise-of-a-star-brand-115020800561_1.html|work=Business Standard}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was once again discontinued in 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Debut of original Atos===&lt;br /&gt;
The development project for a Hyundai minicar started in October 1995 after the main Korean competitor [[Daewoo]] had already put in place the production of a compact car, exposing numerous concepts in various international car showrooms that would have foreshadowed the production model (which would become the [[Daewoo Matiz|Matiz]] designed together with [[Italdesign Giugiaro]]). Hyundai produced a concept of a city car which was extremely compact and economical to sell not only in South Korea but also in Europe (market with high sales in the city segment seen the successes of cars such as [[Fiat Panda]], [[Fiat Cinquecento|Cinquecento]], [[Renault Twingo]] and [[Peugeot 106]]) and in India. In just 23 months, with a total investment of 155 million dollars,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last= Steers |first=Richard M. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=be-AAAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;q=hyundai+atos+development&amp;amp;pg=PA89 |title=Made in Korea: Chung Ju Yung and the Rise of Hyundai |publisher=Routledge |date=21 August 2013 |pages=89–90 |isbn=978-0-415-92050-6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the car passed from the blank sheet to production. In September 1997, Hyundai released it as the Atos, less than 3.50 meters long, characterized by a soft design but a very spacious interior thanks to the shape of the mini-van body, five doors and five seats. At the debut the engine was a four-cylinder petrol 800 cc [[Hyundai Epsilon engine|Epsilon]] that was approved according to the new restrictive emission standards entered into force in South Korea. For export markets, the Atos adopted a larger 1.0-litre four-cylinder Epsilon engine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Production in the [[Ulsan]] plant (South Korea) started in September 1997. The European version was presented at the [[International Motor Show Germany]] in [[Frankfurt]] the same month and sales began in March 1998.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://europe.autonews.com/article/19980302/ANE/803020808?template=mobile02&amp;amp;X-IgnoreUserAgent=1 |title=Hyundai launches Atos |newspaper=[[Automotive News]] |date=2 March 1998|access-date=9 November 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyundai for the Atos created a specific base platform, very simple in the mechanical and economic setting to produce because the car had to be sold in emerging markets and therefore have a low price list: the front wheel drive scheme was adopted, with MacPherson front suspension, and a torsion-beam suspension at the rear, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The design of the Atos is characterized by a front with circular headlights and bumpers in raw plastic, the rear lights are in an upright position near the rear window, and the tailgate is very large to facilitate access to the luggage compartment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Atos was one of the first compact city cars ([[A-segment]]) to be sold in Europe with the five-door body. The trunk has a volume of 263 liters that rise to 1064 by breaking down the back sofa. The dashboard had a simple design, with a large shelf in the dashboard in front of the passenger side and two central vents with the levator climate controls. Safety devices (driver and front passenger airbags and ABS) were paid or standard only on top models.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.motorbox.com/auto/auto-viste-e-provate/auto-primo-contatto/hyundai-atos-2 |title=Primo contatto: Hyundai Atos |publisher= Motorbox.it |date=17 February 1998|access-date=6 November 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In India, the Atos Prime was adapted to local tastes and launched under the name Hyundai Santro, with production starting in October 1998. The bodywork was completely redesigned by lowering the roof by 4.5 centimeters and redesigning the tail with new lights, tailgate and bumpers (which were available in body color). The nose remained similar to that of the previous Atos, but the grille was changed and made available with chrome plating. The interior remained the same. At that time, Hyundai had acquired a majority share in fellow Korean manufacturer [[Kia]] and implemented a revitalization program that included sharing engines and platforms. The car was presented at the [[Busan Motor Show]] on 17 May 1999 as the Kia Visto, to be sold in Europe through the Kia sales network, alongside the old Atos that would remain in production and be sold by Hyundai dealerships. However, European Hyundai dealers opposed the decision to distribute the Visto as the car would have caused competition for the Atos; Hyundai thus renamed the car Atos Prime at the end of 1999,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2000/01/03/hyundai-prime-polvere-di-lusso.html |title=Hyundai Prime polvere di lusso |newspaper=[[La Repubblica]] |date=3 January 2000|access-date=9 November 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and positioned it as a more highly equipped model to complement the Atos, which remained in production, updated with new lights, bumpers and interior materials.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In South Korea and Indonesia, the Atos Prime was sold as the Kia Visto as originally planned, while the Atos remained in production, sold by Hyundai dealers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compared to the original Atos, the Prime had a less spacious interior but better aerodynamics due to the lower roof. The trunk was smaller, with capacity reduced to 219 litres up to a maximum of 889 liters with the rear seats reclined. The 1.0 litre petrol engine remained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1999, the Atos Prime was introduced in Europe, while in the same month the Atos underwent a slight facelift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2001, there was a further facelift to both the Atos and Atos Prime, with new headlights and bumper, and new tail lights for the Atos Prime. New interior upholstery also featured.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.panorama-auto.it/auto-usate/hyundai-atos-prime-2002 |title=Hyundai Atos Prime (2002): pregi e difetti della citycar coreana |publisher=[[Panorama (magazine)|Panorama-Auto]] |date=2 April 2012 |access-date=9 November 2018 |archive-date=7 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181107185231/https://www.panorama-auto.it/auto-usate/hyundai-atos-prime-2002 |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Second facelift (2003–2014)===&lt;br /&gt;
Introduced in September 2003, the new version had an entirely new nose and tail, with new headlights, bonnet and bumper, in a more angular style. A new hatch and tail lights completed the rear. Only the doors, side panels and interior of the old Atos Prime were retained.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.repubblica.it/auto/articolo/settembre2003/atos/atos.html |title=Hyundai Atos, si cambia tutto |newspaper=[[La Repubblica]] |date=22 September 2003|access-date=9 November 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also known as Santro Xing in India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new engine replaced the old Epsilon four-cylinder 1.0 (and the 0.8 Epsilon sold only in Asia). The new Epsilon 1.1 four-cylinder 12-valve engine delivered {{Convert|59|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, 5 more than the previous 1.0. The gearbox remained the five-speed manual, with a four-speed automatic option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005, there was a slight facelift that introduced a new fascia and wheel designs.

The Atos Prime is marketed as the:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hyundai Amica&#039;&#039;&#039; in the [[United Kingdom]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hyundai Santro Xing&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[India]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Atos by [[Dodge]]&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Mexico]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Kia Motors|Kia]] Visto&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Indonesia]] and [[South Korea]] (Hyundai also sold the original Atoz in Indonesia).&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Inokom]] Atos&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Malaysia]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Hyundai Santro]]&#039;&#039;&#039; in India and [[Pakistan]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original Atos was sold under the Hyundai brand but rebadged as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Atoz&#039;&#039;&#039; (or &amp;quot;AtoZ&amp;quot;) in some markets, including the United Kingdom. The Hyundai Santro is a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] version of the [[city car]] Hyundai Atos sold in some [[Asia]]n markets, Primarily [[South Asia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kia Visto is a rebadged Hyundai Atos Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Markets==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===India===&lt;br /&gt;
Hyundai entered the Indian market in 1997 with the Atos, marketed under the name &#039;&#039;Santro&#039;&#039;. Hyundai derived the name Santro for the Indian market from [[Saint-Tropez]], a [[France|French]] city famous for [[fashion]], because the company wanted to project it as a ‘fashionable’ car.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/new-hyundai-santro-launch-on-october-23-six-reasons-why-company-feels-it-will-be-winner-again/1354826/|title=New Hyundai Santro launch on October 23; six reasons why company feels it will be winner again|date=20 October 2018|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US|access-date=29 December 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Produced at Hyundai&#039;s factory in [[Chennai]], its primary competitor at that time was the popular [[Maruti Suzuki]] Zen. The distinctive styling of the first generation had mixed reviews, but the car was a success primarily due to its power steering feature and price.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the years since, the Indian version has undergone a number of upgrades in styling and technology to respond to consumer preferences. In 2003, the first generation (Zip) was replaced with the second generation Atos Prime, marketed in India as the &#039;&#039;Santro Xing&#039;&#039;, which enjoyed great sales success. The car was also exported from India in large volumes to the Asia and Oceania region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its final few years, Santro had become a popular option as a hatchback taxi, and the car was still selling close to 30,000 units per year when Hyundai made the decision to discontinue production.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Santro drives into sunset|url=http://forbesindia.com/article/boardroom/hyundais-sunshine-car-santro-drives-into-sunset/39399/1|work=Forbes India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Variants in India&lt;br /&gt;
The Hyundai Santro was first released in India in 1998. It came with three variants:&lt;br /&gt;
* Santro base, with AC and black bumpers, priced at 2,99,000 INR ex-showroom&lt;br /&gt;
* Santro DX 1, added with front power windows, central locking, high quality fabric upholstery a fabric inserts on door trims, body colored bumpers, rear wiper/washer/defogger, front fog lamps, waistline moulding and full wheel covers, priced at 3,49,000 INR.&lt;br /&gt;
* Santro DX 2, added with power steering and first in class rear seat belts, priced at 3,69,000 INR. These were often criticised for their appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2000, a new version called Santro Zip Drive was introduced. Changes included were things such as every variant got a power steering and a new grille.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2002, a refreshed version called Santro Zip Plus was introduced. Changes included Clear Lens headlamps and taillamps and a better engine and performance.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2003, the car underwent a complete facelift and was introduced as the Santro Xing. Pictures are given below alongside technical data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pakistan===&lt;br /&gt;
The Santro was launched in [[Pakistan]] in 2000. It was discontinued in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
===Indonesia===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Indonesia]], the Hyundai Atoz and Kia Visto was launched in 2000 with the 1.0-litre G4HC engine and initially sold as a complete built-up unit from South Korea (Atoz) and India (Visto). In 2001, Hyundai began production of the Atoz as a [[Knock-down kit|complete knock-down]] unit, which were assembled by Hyundai Mobil Indonesia in [[Bekasi]], [[West Java]], while the Visto continued to be imported from India. The Atoz and Visto received an update in 2002 with crystal multireflector headlamps and tail lamps. The Atoz received a redesigned front mesh grille. In 2004, the Visto was replaced by the Picanto. In June 2005, the Atoz received a facelift with the new Atos Prime front while maintaining the original Atos rear, and the engine was replaced with the 1.1-litre G4HG engine with multi-point fuel injection (the same engine as the Picanto). The Atoz was discontinued in 2008 and replaced by the i10 in March 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Atoz was available in two trim levels: the base GLX and higher-level GLS, while the Visto was available in Que trim, and later replaced with the zipDrive trim in 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Malaysia===&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Malaysia]], the Hyundai Atos is locally assembled by [[Inokom]] carrying the badge &#039;&#039;&#039;Inokom Atos&#039;&#039;&#039;. The Inokom &#039;&#039;&#039;Atos Prima&#039;&#039;&#039; was later introduced in 2006 which has the new Atos Prime front while maintaining the original Atos rear.&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Sonia and Naina Sehgal ([[Kajol]]) are twins. Though identical, they couldn&#039;t be more different, with Sonia being outgoing and extroverted, and Naina being shy and introverted. In a parallel storyline, the police are hunting for a sadistic killer and rapist, Gokul Pandit ([[Ashutosh Rana]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tragedy strikes the Sehgal household when Gokul [[rape]]s and brutally kills Sonia. After a police investigation, Gokul is caught but declared innocent as Sunanda, one of the main witnesses (and Gokul&#039;s fiancé) gives a false statement in court. Naina is distraught and vows to hunt down Gokul. Gokul soon goes after Naina and she realizes she needs help to overcome her fear of Gokul. With revenge in her mind, she meets Suraj Singh Rathod ([[Sanjay Dutt]]), a blind military veteran, who helps her to rid her fear of Gokul. While Suraj trains Naina, they develop feelings for each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day - after an argument - Suraj refuses to meet Naina and she decides to go after Gokul all by herself, who kidnaps Naina&#039;s younger sister (Dia) from school in order to scare Naina. Naina&#039;s mother consequently decides to leave for Nainital immediately as her daughter&#039;s life is at risk. However, Naina cannot control her hatred and wanted to avenge her sister at any cost. Naina lays a trap for Gokul and tries to kill him but Gokul ties her up and tries to [[rape]] her like her sister. Suraj arrives at her house and fights Gokul but ends up being stabbed. Naina manages to get free and fatally shoot Gokul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suraj recovers from his injuries and decides to go away from Naina, but she realizes that she loves him and cannot live without him. The movie ends with Naina and Suraj getting together at the airport where he was about to leave the city.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yogaraja is a psychology graduate who develops an interest in astrology, believing that people often place more faith in the stars than in human reasoning. Living a cheerful life with his mother and sister, he enjoys helping others and making light of life’s challenges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His world changes when he meets Sihi, a spirited young woman from Tumkur who is visiting Bangalore for work. Despite their very different backgrounds, Sihi is drawn to Yogaraja’s charm and sincerity. As their friendship grows, Yogaraja decides to propose to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before he can hear her response, Yogaraja is killed in a sudden accident. His soul, unwilling to accept such an untimely death, protests in the afterlife and confronts Lord Yama, the god of death. Moved by his determination, Yama agrees to send Yogaraja back in time to just before the accident, giving him a second chance at life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The story follows Yogaraja as he navigates this new lease on life, confronting the challenges of fate, love, and the consequences of his choices, all while discovering the deeper meaning of existence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Shruti Indira Lakshminarayan from &#039;&#039;[[Rediff.com]]&#039;&#039; scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says &amp;quot;A fine actor like Sreenivasa Murthy settles for the role of a [[sanyasi]] who is meant to be scary, but doesn&#039;t quite pull it off. If Tharun Sudheer as the god of death, Yama, is meant to give us goose-bumps, well, he doesn&#039;t. Dayal has claimed that this is the best film he has done, but viewers might think that is not saying much&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-yograj-but-is-full-of-existential-angst/20110722.htm|title=Review: Yograj But! is full of existential angst|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=22 July 2011|access-date=18 September 2022|archive-date=23 September 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240923022002/https://m.rediff.com/amp/movies/review/south-review-yograj-but-is-full-of-existential-angst/20110722.htm|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote &amp;quot;Had the director avoided such incongruous sequences, &#039;&#039;Yogaraj But&#039;&#039; would have been a neat and good entertainer.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film is based on [[Ramayana]] &#039;s Hindu scripture, showing [[Hanuman|Anjaneya]] &#039;s devotion to [[Rama]]. It begins with Rama &amp;amp; [[Sita]] &#039;s crowning ceremony. Next, Anjaneya cannot detach from his Lord when he returns to [[Kishkinda]]. Here, [[Shiva|Siva]] praises eminence when [[Parvati]] conflicts that power is more significant than devotion, which is the vital force. Parallelly, Kaasi King [[Yayati]], an advent devotee of Rama, fails to attend the ceremony and is eulogized by Rama in the dream. Ergo, Parvati triggers [[Maya (religion)|Maya]] the illusion to probe him, who impels cruel beasts into his Kingdom. Yayati slays them and shoots at Maya when she turns into Matanga kanya, enters Sapta Rushi Ashram, and asks for a pardon from [[Vishvamitra]]. By this time, she becomes a victim when furious Vishvamitra is about to curse Yayati. Then, [[Narada]] prevents and states that the penalization is the emperor&#039;s job. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, Vishvamitra proceeds to Rama. Despite being crestfallen, he edicts capital punishment and sends [[Bharata (Ramayana)|Bharata]]. Yayati obeys his order and moves towards [[Ayodhya]]. Shantimati, the wife of Yayati with the children, also starts to plead with Sita. Parvati feels proud of her vindication when Siva creates a calamity in which they all part. Currently, Yayati lands up at [[Añjanā]] ashram, which blesses him with a full-fledged life. Yayati replies that he has no chance when she calls Anjaneya. Unbeknownst, he vows on Rama to shield Yayati, who crumbles, affirming the actuality but standing firm. Siva rescues &amp;amp; drops Shantimati and at Ayodhya, and [[Vasishtha]] shelters the children. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Rama is despondent by being conscious of Anjaneya&#039;s oath. After that, Anjaneya sends [[Angada]] as an emissary to Rama, but to no avail. Subsequently, Yayati could not cope with the wrangling and attempted suicide. Whereat, Siva shields him in disguise and enlightens Anjaneya that it is an insult to his Lord if he cannot keep up his word. Accordingly, he attires war when Rama also moves, and the two encounter when Rama fires his arrow &#039;&#039;Ramabanam&#039;&#039; and Anjaneya, his devotional chanting &#039;&#039;Sriramanamam,&#039;&#039; which colludes and leads to catastrophe. Parallelly, Shantimati earnestly prays to Goddess Parvati, which melts her and makes her comprehend. At last, Siva &amp;amp; Parvati appear, stating it is all done to evidence the &#039;&#039;Power of Devotion&#039;&#039; when Vishvamitra forgives Yayati. Finally, the movie ends happily with a proclamation that Rama&#039;s chanting &amp;amp; Rama&#039;s arrow will revolve around the universe; &#039;&#039;to protect the wise and destroy the evil.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Kudumbam Oru Kadambam&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{translation|Family is a Flower}}) is a 1981 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] directed by [[S. P. Muthuraman]]. Based on [[Visu]]&#039;s play of the same name, the film stars [[Pratap Pothen|Pratap]], [[Suhasini Maniratnam|Suhasini]], [[Sumalatha]], [[S. Ve. Shekher]] and Visu reprising his role from the play. It was released on 5 December 1981. The film was remade in [[Kannada]] as &#039;&#039;Ananda Sagara&#039;&#039; (1983), in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] as &#039;&#039;{{ill|Manishiko Charithra|te|మనిషికో చరిత్ర}}&#039;&#039; (1984), in [[Hindi]] as &#039;&#039;[[Aaj Ka Daur]]&#039;&#039; (1985), and in [[Malayalam]] as &#039;&#039;[[Oru Sandesam Koodi]]&#039;&#039; (1985).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{long plot|date=November 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens on an ordinary day in the lives of the families in a large apartment house in Chennai. Each family represents a different slice of early 1980s middle-class society. Kannan and Uma are a working couple. Kannan&#039;s father, retired from Government service, lives with them. They enjoy the comforts of dual income, but their general lament is that their long work hours compel them to send their five-year-old daughter Priya to boarding school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second couple comprises real estate agent Paramasivam and his homemaker wife Parvathi. Real estate in the early 1980s is not very profitable or progressive. Paramasivam and Parvathi enjoy a happy marriage, but Paramasivam&#039;s limited (and sporadic) income is barely able to meet household costs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third couple is Srinivasa Raghavan and Lakshmiammal. Fifty-five-year-old Srinivasa Raghavan is a worthless wastrel. In spite of a college education, he has never worked a day in his life. He chooses to roam about the city and engage in pointless banter with anyone he can find. Lakshmiammal works as a cook to earn a meager wage, but they frequently have to pawn their valuables to get by. Their son Madhu is an aspiring actor with dreams of making it big, and their daughter Mythili is still in high school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their everyday lives have ups and downs. Kannan and Uma work all through the week. Uma takes German lessons in the evenings. Their overburdened schedule permits them to see their daughter only on weekends, and as a result they gradually drift away from the needs of their child. As for Paramasivam, his income is squeezed by the down market or by crafty tenants (who collude with&lt;br /&gt;
the owners and ultimately do not pay his commissions). Lakshmiammal works long hours in hot kitchens, and worries that her declining health might just give out one day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are some new arrivals. The first is Parvathi&#039;s brother Kumar. Kumar has recently graduated from college, and he arrives in [[Chennai]] to start a new job. He plans to stay with Parvathi for a few days until he finds a new place. The second arrival is Anandan, a mild-mannered young man. He used to work at a rice mill in [[Nagapatnam]], but when the mill was destroyed in a [[cyclone]], his employer transferred him to another job in [[Chennai]]. Anandan is happy to find another job, but despairs because he is away from his wife and children in [[Nagapatnam]]. He is not able to afford weekly trips to see his family. Lakshmiammal recognises an opportunity and proposes a boarding arrangement. Anandan is happy to accept; Lakshmiammal&#039;s home cooked food is healthier and cheaper than eating out every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The families are faced with various crises. Kannan&#039;s father discovers that Lakshmiammal has been visiting a hospital to treat an emerging tuberculosis ailment caused by long exposure to cooking flames. Kannan&#039;s father discreetly informs Mythili that Lakshmiammal must not continue working. Mythili drops out of school and starts working at a palatial mansion in the city. (Her job is not revealed, but it is strongly suggested that she may be working as an escort for a rich man.) The job, however, pays quite well and Mythili anonymously sends a portion of the money to her mother. Srinivasa Raghavan remains oblivious or apathetic to the whole situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kannan and Paramasivam are also faced with trouble. Uma receives a promotion at work. Kannan is unable to accept that his wife makes more money. Priya continues to drift away from her parents, and refuses to come home for Diwali. When Parvathi suddenly becomes pregnant, she is forced to abort because of their strained financial situation. Paramasivam is stricken cold by the fact that he did not have cash for the cab to bring his wife to the hospital. Uma, Parvathi and Lakshmiammal individually ponder the central questions of the film&amp;amp;nbsp;– the role of money and the role of working women in the new society order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their troubles escalate. Kannan dreams that Uma is seduced by her German boss, and that she will eventually leave him. Paramasivam is compelled to borrow money, at exorbitant interest, from a loan shark. Parvathi is deeply grieved to learn this. Lakshmiammal follows Mythili and assumes the worst when she sees that a car is sent to fetch Mythili every day. She breaks down in tears before Srinivasa Raghavan. When Srinivasa Raghavan angrily question Mythili, she retorts that he, having never provided for the family, has no fatherly rights to ask about her business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The men set about evaluating their situation. Kannan and Uma decide that their child is a higher priority than additional income, and Uma accordingly resigns from her job. Kannan&#039;s father provides additional support by way of his retirement income. Paramasivam finally agrees to let Parvathi get a real job. And Srinivasa Raghavan, stung by his daughter&#039;s criticism, sets off to find work. Undaunted by rejection from various offices, he finally earns a day&#039;s wages by working on the docks. He returns home with dignity. Now that he has restored his station as a father, he claims the right to question Mythili. He bluntly asks if she has been prostituting herself. Mythili takes him to the palatial mansion. She reveals that the lady of the house has been stricken with a paralysing disease and that Mythili&#039;s job is to help her with her daily duties. Mythili breaks into sobs, saying she has not done anything to dishonor&lt;br /&gt;
the family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Harmony is restored to just about everyone. Anandam, in tragicomic irony, is suddenly transferred away to [[Dindigul]] just as he has found a job for his wife in [[Chennai]]. His wife now takes his place in the apartment and writes to him every week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film ends with the missive that money is required for life but life must not be entirely consumed by money.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Bengaluru&#039;&#039;&#039; is the capital city of the [[States of India|state]] of [[Karnataka]]. [[Bengaluru]], as a city, was founded by [[Kempe Gowda I]], who built a mud fort at the site in 1537. But the earliest evidence for the existence of a place called Bengaluru dates back to c. 890.&amp;lt;ref name=TheHinduinscription&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/08/20/stories/2004082016400300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040912144705/http://www.hindu.com/2004/08/20/stories/2004082016400300.htm|archive-date=12 September 2004|title=Inscription reveals Bengaluru is over 1,000 years old|date= 20 August 2004|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=28 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Medieval period  ==&lt;br /&gt;
The oldest inscription in current-day Bengaluru is the Hebbal-Kittayya inscription, which dates back to the [[Western Ganga dynasty|Ganga dynasty]] in Karnataka and mentions the administration of [[Sripurusha]]. Carved in early Kannada script, it pays tribute to Kittayya, who was martyred defending his land in a battle during Sripurusha&#039;s reign.&amp;lt;ref name=HebbalKittayya&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/sister-duo-build-fictional-stories-from-inscription-stones-dating-back-to-karnatakas-ganga-dynasty/articleshow/69107619.cms|title=Sister duo build fictional stories from inscription stones dating back to Karnataka&#039;s Ganga dynasty|date= 30 April 2019|newspaper=[[The Economic Times]]|access-date=23 November 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Gangas ruled Gangavadi from [[Kolar, Karnataka|Kolar]] starting c. 350 and later shifted their capital to [[Talakadu]].&amp;lt;ref name=Karnataka&amp;gt;[http://www.karnataka.com/history/ &amp;quot;History of Bangalore&amp;quot;].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first mention of the name Bengaluru, albeit in the form &#039;Benguluru&#039; is from an inscription in Begur dated to 9th century AD. Written in Halegannada (ancient Kannada), it mentions &#039;Bengaluru Kadana&#039; (battle of Bengaluru). The inscription stone found near Begur reveals, that the district was part of the Ganga Kingdom ruled from Gangavadi until 1024 AD and was known as &#039;Benga-val-oru&#039;, the &#039;&#039;City of Guards&#039;&#039; in old [[Kannada]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;BegurInscription&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/1000-year-old-inscription-stone-bears-earliest-reference-to-bengaluru/articleshow/17446311.cms|title=1000-year-old inscription stone bears earliest reference to Bengaluru|date= 2 December 2012|newspaper=[[Times of India]]|access-date=23 November 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edgar Thurston (Castes and Tribes of India Volume 5) states that the [[Kongu Nadu|Kongu]] region was ruled by a series of twenty eight kings before being conquered by the [[Cholas]] of [[Tanjore]], citing the earliest portion of the Kongu Chronicle - &#039;&#039;Kongu Desa Rajakkal&#039;&#039; (a manuscript in &#039;&#039;The Mackenzie Collection&#039;&#039;) which gives a series of short notices of the reigns of all the kings who ruled the country from the start of the Christian era till its conquest by the Cholas. These kings belonged to two distinct dynasties: the earlier line of the &#039;&#039;Solar race&#039;&#039; which had a succession of seven kings of the Ratti tribe, and the later line of the Ganga race, itself claimed to be a branch of the Solar race.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1024 AD, the [[Chola Empire]] captured the city. Today, little evidence can be seen of this period. A small village in south Bangalore and one in [[Anantapur district]] bear the [[Chola]] name but the residents are of native stock. The later Gangas often fought alongside the [[Chalukyas]], [[Rastrakutas]] and the [[Hoysalas]]. In 1117 AD, the [[Hoysala]] king [[Vishnuvardhana]] defeated the Cholas in the battle of Talakad which led to the Hoysalas regaining control of Talakad.&lt;br /&gt;

Kempe Gowda I, Modern Bangalore was founded by a [[vassal|feudatory]] of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]], who built a mud fort in the year 1537.

Kempe Gowda&#039;s successor, Kempe Gowda II, built temples, tanks including Kempapura and Karanjikere tanks and four watching towers that marked Bangalore&#039;s boundary.&amp;lt;ref name=bglrHist2&amp;gt;Vagale, Uday Kumar.

After conquering the Sultanate of Bijapur, the [[Mughals]] under the command of Khasim Khan, then arrived in Bangalore, which was ruled by Shivaji&#039;s brother Venkoji/Ekoji Bhonsale. Ekoji, who faced the prospect of losing his jagir to the Mughals, made an offer to sell Bangalore to [[Chikka Devaraja]] [[Wodeyar]] in 1689 for three lakhs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/how-bengaluru-was-bought-for-rs-3-lakh-333-years-ago-859720.html| title = How Bengaluru was bought for Rs 3 lakh 333 years ago {{!}} Deccan Herald -}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Later, Bangalore was given as a personal jagir by the then Woedeyar King [[Krishnaraja Wadiyar II]] to his &#039;&#039;dalvoy&#039;&#039; [[Hyder Ali]] in 1759.

Under Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali, the state progressed economically and trade flourished with many foreign nations through the ports of [[Mangalore]]. Several attempts by the British to capture Bangalore were repulsed by the Mysorean Army, most notably in 1768 when Hyder Ali forced Colonel Nicholson of the British Army to lift his siege of Bangalore. The [[French people|French]] under [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon]] had promised to drive the British from India. Tipu successfully stalled the British in the [[First Anglo-Mysore War|first]], [[Second Anglo-Mysore War|second]] and [[Third Anglo-Mysore War|third]] [[Anglo-Mysore Wars]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bangalore fort]] was captured by the East India company armies under the command of [[Governor-General of India|company governor general]], [[Charles Cornwallis]], on 21 March 1791 during the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]] and formed a centre for British resistance against Tipu Sultan,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mil_Engr_In_India_Vol_1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=The Military Engineer in India, Vol I |last=Sandes |first=Lt Col E.W.C. |year=1933 |publisher=The Institution of Royal Engineers |location=Chatham |pages=163–165 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; being incorporated into the [[British India]]n Empire after Tipu Sultan was defeated and killed in the [[Fourth Anglo-Mysore War]] (1799). A prominent role was played by the [[Madras Sappers]] in the capture of the Fort and subsequent development of the cantonment and the city. Bangalore is the permanent home of this Indian Army regiment since the mid-nineteenth century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wodeyars and British East India ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bangalore Palace.jpg|thumb|[[Bangalore Palace]], built in 1887, was home to the [[Kingdom of Mysore|rulers of Mysore]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Upon the passing of Tipu Sultan, the Wodeyars returned to the throne of [[Mysore State|Mysore]], and therefore Bangalore, although only as figureheads. Bengaluru remained part of [[British East India]] until Indian independence in August 1947.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;Residency&#039; of Mysore State was first established at Mysore in 1799 and later shifted to Bengaluru in the year 1804. It was &lt;br /&gt;
abolished in the year 1843 only to be revived in 1881 at Bengaluru and finally to be closed down in 1947 with the departure of the &lt;br /&gt;
British. (https://web.archive.org/web/20120206190404/http://rajbhavan.kar.nic.in/history/fromresi-rajbhavan.htm)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The British troops which were first stationed at Srirangapatna after the fall of Tipu Sultan in 1799 were later shifted to the Civil and &lt;br /&gt;
Military Station of Bangalore in 1809.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The salubrious climate of Bangalore attracted the ruling class and led to the establishment of the famous Military Cantonment, a &lt;br /&gt;
city-state close to the old town of Bangalore. The area became not only a military base for the British but also a settlement for a &lt;br /&gt;
large number of Europeans, Anglo-Indians and missionaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Cantonment, the names of many of its streets are derived from military [[wikt:nomenclature|nomenclature]] — [[Artillery]] Road, [[Brigade]] Road, [[Infantry]] Road and [[Cavalry]] Road. The South Parade (now known as [[Mahatma Gandhi]] Road) was to the south of the Parade Ground. The [[Plaza Theatre (Bengaluru)|Plaza theatre]] was constructed in the year 1936 on the South Parade and was used by the soldiers for viewing [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] movies. The British representative maintained a residence within the cantonment area and his quarters was called the [[House|Residency]] and hence the name Residency Road. Around 1883, three developments were added to the cantonment – Richmond Town, Benson Town and Cleveland Town.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Cantonment has retained it distinct atmosphere through the years with large populations of Anglo-Indians and Tamils from the British era.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Water shortages===&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of water supplies within the city of Bangalore was first tackled in 1873 by building a chain of tanks called Miller&#039;s Tanks in the Cantonment area. Prior to this water was pumped from the Halsoor, Shoolay and Pudupacherry tanks which were insufficient for the Civil and Military Station. The city area drew water from a &#039;&#039;Karanjee&#039;&#039; system from Dharmambudhi and Sampangi tanks. The Great Famine of 1875-77&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=4 August 2014|title=A devastating famine|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/423536/a-devastating-famine.html|access-date=18 January 2021|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the failure of the monsoons led to drying of all these water bodies. During this time water carriers &#039;&#039;Bihistis&#039;&#039; supplied water. In 1882 the [[Sankey Tank|Sankey Reservoir]] was constructed at the cost of ₹5.75 Lakhs by [[Richard Hieram Sankey]] and collected rain water from an area of {{convert|2.5|sqmi|km2}}. The water was said to be unsavoury and impure. On 23 June 1896 water was pumped from the Chamarajendra Reservoir (Hessarghatta) which dammed the waters of the Arkavathi. This tank went dry for one year in 1925. It was built at the cost of ₹20,78,641. On 15 March 1933, the Thippagondanahalli Reservoir was put into service. On 21 May 1961, the Integrated Water Supply Scheme was inaugurated. This system collected water from the Cauvery river near Halgur and pumped up at Thorekadanahalli, Voddaradoddi, Gantakanadoddi and Tatguni and stored in reservoirs at Mount Joy, Byrasandra and High Grounds.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hassan (1970):183-194&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Plague-Crisis of 1898 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore was hit by a [[Bubonic plague|plague]] [[epidemic]] in 1898.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last1=Tennant|first1=Warren S. D.|last2=Tildesley|first2=Mike J.|last3=Spencer|first3=Simon E. F.|last4=Keeling|first4=Matt J.|date=10 June 2020|title=Climate drivers of plague epidemiology in British India, 1898–1949|url= |journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences|volume=287|issue=1928|article-number=20200538|doi=10.1098/rspb.2020.0538|pmc=7341932|pmid=32517609}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The epidemic took a huge toll and many temples were built during this time, dedicated to the goddess Mariamma. The crisis caused by this epidemic catalyzed the improvement and [[sanitation]] of Bengaluru and, in turn, improvements in sanitation and health facilities helped to modernize Bengaluru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Telephone lines were laid to help coordinate anti-plague operations. Regulations for building new houses with proper sanitation facilities came into effect. A health officer was appointed in 1898, the city was divided into four wards for better coordination and the [[Victoria Hospital (Bangalore Medical College)|Victoria Hospital]] was inaugurated in 1900 by [[George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston|Lord Curzon]], [[Viceroy]] and [[Governor-General]] of British India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1900s ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bangalore1924 map.png|thumb|300px|right|Bangalore city map, circa 1924 from &amp;quot;Murray&#039;s 1924 Handbook&amp;quot;, with the &#039;&#039;pete&#039;&#039; and Cantonment areas clearly visible.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes it is claimed that, in 1906, Bangalore became the first city in Asia to have electricity, supplied by the [[hydroelectric]] plant situated in [[Shivanasamudra]]. This information is controversial, as the first electric power supply was started in Kolkata in the year of 1898, to the then Bank of Bengal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basavanagudi (named either after the Basavanna Temple or the [[Bull Temple]] in the village of Sunkenahalli) and [[Malleshwaram]] (named after the Kadu Malleshwara Temple in the old Mallapura village) were created during this time. Kalasipalyam (near the old fort) and [[Gandhinagar]] were created between 1921 and 1931.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore&#039;s reputation as the Garden City of India began in 1927 with the [[Silver Jubilee]] celebrations of the rule of [[Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV]]. Several projects such as the construction of parks, public buildings and hospitals were instituted to improve the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;outlook&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Srinivasaraju|first=Sugata|title=ElectriCity|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?230851|access-date=15 November 2011|newspaper=Outlook India|date=10 April 2006}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore therefore served traditionally as a retreat for people from the surrounding [[South India]]n regions. Even today, the city administration manages to maintain several parks. [[Cubbon Park]] and [[Lal Bagh]] are two such examples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Indian Independence (1947)==&lt;br /&gt;
After Indian independence in August 1947, Bangalore remained in the Mysore State of which the Maharaja of Mysore was the [[Rajapramukharu]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;outlook&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Vidhana Soudha 2012.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The [[Vidhana Soudha]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore continued to be the capital of the unified and linguistically homogeneous [[Kannada]]-speaking new Mysore state that was created in 1956, and renamed to [[Karnataka]] in 1973.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kumara Park came into existence in 1947 and [[Jayanagar, Bangalore|Jayanagar]] in 1948. In the 1960s and 1970s an elite neighborhood was developed in the former gardens of the Bangalore Palace, which was known as &amp;quot;Palace Orchards&amp;quot; now called [[Sadhashivnagar]]. The area is now home to many of the wealthy members of Bangalore society, celebrities and politicians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public sector employment and education provided opportunities for Kannadigas from the rest of the state to migrate to the city. In the decades that followed, Bangalore&#039;s manufacturing base continued to expand with the establishment of private companies such as [[MICO]] (Motor Industries Company), which set up its manufacturing plant in the city. Industrialization created further growth that extended from the [[Peenya]] Industrial Area in the west to [[Indiranagar, Bangalore|Indiranagar]] and [[Whitefield, India|Whitefield]] in the east; from [[Yelahanka]] Town in the north, to [[J.P. Nagar]] in the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1991 Economic Reforms===&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore experienced a growth in its real estates e market in the 1980s and 1990s, spurred by capital investors from other parts of the country who converted Bangalore&#039;s large plots and colonial [[bungalow]]s into multi-storied apartments.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1985, [[Texas Instruments]] became the first [[multinational corporation]] to set up base in Bangalore. Other information technology companies followed suit, and, by the end of the 20th century, Bangalore had firmly established itself as the &#039;&#039;[[Silicon Valley]] of India&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With an estimated population of 8.5 million in 2011,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=2011UA&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Urban Agglomerations/Cities having population 1 lakh and above|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results/paper2/data_files/India2/Table_3_PR_UA_Citiees_1Lakh_and_Above.pdf|work=Censusindia|publisher=The Registrar General &amp;amp; Census Commissioner, India|access-date=17 October 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore is now the fourth most populous city in India and the 28th most populous city in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&amp;amp;men=gcis&amp;amp;lng=en&amp;amp;dat=32&amp;amp;srt=pnan&amp;amp;col=aohdq |work=World-Gazetter.com |title=World: largest cities and towns and statistics of their population |access-date=17 October 2007 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121217203749/http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&amp;amp;men=gcis&amp;amp;lng=en&amp;amp;dat=32&amp;amp;srt=pnan&amp;amp;col=aohdq |archive-date=17 December 2012 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bangalore was the fastest-growing Indian metropolis after New Delhi between 1991 and 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005, the [[Government of Karnataka]] announced it had accepted a proposal to [[Renaming of cities in India|rename]] Bangalore to &#039;&#039;Bengaluru&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Bangalore-to-be-renamed-Bengaluru/articleshow/1327370.cms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120929222432/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-12-11/india/27862209_1_bengaluru-classical-language-kannada|url-status=live|archive-date=29 September 2012|title=Bangalore to be renamed Bengaluru|date=11 December 2005|location=India|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=19 April 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, the [[Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike]] (BBMP), the [[municipal government|third level of government]], passed a resolution to implement the proposed name change.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| title=It will be &#039;Bengaluru&#039;, resolves BMP | date=28 September 2006 | url=http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/28/stories/2006092824250300.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001090623/http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/28/stories/2006092824250300.htm | archive-date=1 October 2007 |access-date=16 May 2007 | work=[[The Hindu]] | location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, this process had been stalled due to delays in getting clearances from the [[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Union Home Ministry]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| title=Centre mum on &#039;Bengaluru&#039; | date=18 December 2007 | url=http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/18/stories/2007121854970600.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071219174128/http://www.hindu.com/2007/12/18/stories/2007121854970600.htm | archive-date=19 December 2007 |access-date=10 April 2008 | work=[[The Hindu]] | location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, Union ministry approved the name change to Bengaluru.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Indian Express. {{cite web|url= http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bangalore/bangalore-is-now-bengaluru/|title=Bangalore is now Bengaluru |date=November 2014 }}&amp;amp;nbsp;{{small|(149&amp;amp;nbsp;KB)}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Chandil block&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Community development blocks in India|CD block]] that forms an [[Administrative divisions of India|administrative division]] in the [[Chandil subdivision]] of [[Seraikela Kharsawan district]], in the Indian state of [[Jharkhand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History== &lt;br /&gt;
The British conquered [[Kolhan division|Kolhan]] in 1837 and consequently formed a new district [[Singhbhum district|Singhbhum]] with headquarters at [[Chaibasa]]. In 1854, Singhbhum “became a non-regulation district under the jurisdiction of the Lt. Governor of Bengal”. The Rajas of Porhat/ Singhbhum, Seraikela and Kharswan held sway over their kingdoms under British protection. The native states of [[Seraikela State|Seraikela]] and [[Kharsawan State|Kharsawan]] acceded to the Indian Union in 1948. Subsequently, Singhbhum district was divided into three subdivisions – Sadar, Dhalbhum and Seraikela.

[[Tusu Festival]] is a rural harvest festival widely celebrated in the [[Chota Nagpur Division|Chotanagpur]] area, in the month of [[Poush]] (December–January). The festival does not involve any idol worship but is a thanks-giving festival for the new harvest. &#039;&#039;Dinimai&#039;&#039;, the last stub remaining in the field after reaping, is brought home and established as Tusu. For a month the house is decorated and home-made sweets are distributed. On the [[Makar Sankranti]] day, Tusu is carried in a &#039;&#039;choudal&#039;&#039; (decorated bamboo framework) and immersed in a nearby water body.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url = https://www.sahapedia.org/tusu-harvest-festival-chhota-nagpur  | title = Tusu A Harvest Festival of Chhota Nagpur | work = Pinki Biswas Sanyal | publisher =  Sahapedia | access-date =  29 November 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Bagh was designed and built in 1633 by [[Abu&#039;l-Hasan Asaf Khan|Asif Khan]], elder brother of [[Nur Jehan|Nur Jahan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Department Of Floriculture {{!}} Gardens And Parks |url=https://dofkashmir.com/MGNishatGarden.aspx |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=dofkashmir.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=tourism&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.kashmir-tourism.com/jammu-kashmir-lakes-dal-lake.htm|title=Dal Lakes|access-date=2009-12-29|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429154412/http://kashmir-tourism.com/jammu-kashmir-lakes-dal-lake.htm|archive-date=2012-04-29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=srinagar&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.srinagaronline.co.in/attraction.php?pname=attraction|title=Srinagar Attractions: Nagin Lake|access-date=2009-12-28|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222202835/http://www.srinagaronline.co.in/attraction.php?pname=attraction|archive-date=2012-02-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;Nishat Bagh&#039; is derived from [[Urdu language|Urdu]], meaning a &amp;quot;Garden of Joy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nishat Bagh- Jhau Tree, Captured by Arghyaraj Basu.jpg|thumb|Nishat Bagh- Jhau tree]]&lt;br /&gt;
An anecdote is told of the jealousy of the Mughal emperor [[Shah Jahan]] on beholding such a delightful garden, which led to the abandonment of the garden for some time. When Shah Jahan saw the garden, after its completion in 1633, he expressed great appreciation of its grandeur and beauty. He is believed to have expressed his delight three times to Asif Khan, his father-in-law, in the hope that he would make a gift of it to him. As no such offer was forthcoming from Asif Khan, however, Shah Jahan was piqued and ordered that the water supply to the garden should be cut off. The garden was then deserted for some time. Asif Khan was desolate and heartbroken; he was uninterested in the sequence of events. When he was resting under the shade of a tree, in one of the terraces, his servant was bold enough to turn on the water supply from the Shalimar Bagh. When Asif Khan heard the sound of water and the fountains in action, he was startled and immediately ordered the disconnection of the water supply as he feared the worst reaction from the Emperor for this wanton act of disobedience. Fortunately for the servant and for the Khan, Shah Jahan, who had heard about this incident in the garden, was not disturbed or annoyed by the disobedience of his orders. Instead, he approved of the servant&#039;s loyal service to his master and then ordered the full restoration of rights for the supply of water to the garden to Asif Khan, his Prime Minister and father-in-law.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Nish&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Stuart&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Stuart|first=C.M.

The Mughal Princess Zuhra Begum, daughter of the Mughal Emperor [[Alamgir II]] and granddaughter of the Emperor [[Jahandar Shah]], is buried in the garden.{{Citation needed|date=July 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
The layout of Nishat Bagh was based on the conceptual model of the [[Persian gardens]], remodelled to fit the topographic and water source conditions at the site chosen in the Kashmir valley. The plan, instead of being central with four radiating arms in a square pattern as in the case of Chahar (suited for a flat countryside), was changed to an axial stream flow design to fit the hill condition with water source originating at the top of the hill end. This resulted in planning a rectangular layout rather than a square layout. This helped in dispensing with the long side arms. Thus, a rectangular layout with an east–west length of {{convert|548|m|ft}} and a width of {{convert|338|m|ft}} was adopted.&amp;lt;ref name=Nish/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=Stuart/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Architecture==&lt;br /&gt;
Nishat Bagh has a broad cascade of terraces lined with avenues of [[Platanus orientalis|chinar]] and [[cypress]] trees, which starts from the lakeshore and reaches up to an artificial façade at the hill&#039;s end. Rising from the edge of the Dal Lake, it has twelve 12 [[Terrace (gardening)|terraces]] representing twelve [[Zodiac]]al signs. However, it has only two sections, namely the public garden and the private garden for the Zanana or harem vis-à-vis the four sections of the Shalimar Bagh; this difference is attributed to the fact that the latter Bagh catered to the Mughal Emperor, while Nishad Bagh belonged to a man of his court, a noble. There are, however, some similarities with the Shalimar Bagh, such as the polished stone channel and terraces. The source of water supply to the two gardens is the same. Built in an east–west direction, the top terrace has the Zenana garden, while the lowest terrace is connected to the Dal Lake. In recent years, the lowest terrace has merged with the approach road. A spring called the Gopi Thirst provides a clear water supply to the gardens. There are a few old Mughal period buildings in the vicinity of the Bagh.&amp;lt;ref name=Nish/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bindloss&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Bindloss |first=Joe |url=https://archive.org/details/lonelyplanetindi00sari |title=India |author2=Sarina Singh |work=Srinagar |publisher=Lonely Planet |year=2007 |isbn=978-1-74104-308-2 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/lonelyplanetindi00sari/page/353 353]–354, 360 |quote=Dal Lake. |access-date=2009-12-29 |url-access=registration}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tourism&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;srinagar&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Centre |first=UNESCO World Heritage |title=Mughal Gardens in Kashmir |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5580/#:~:text=Humayun&#039;s%20Tomb%20and%20the%20Taj,the%20Shalimar%20Gardens%20of%20Lahore. |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Plumptre, George|title=The Water Garden|pages =38–39 |publisher=Thames &amp;amp; Hudson Limited|place=London|year=1993|isbn=0-500-01571-6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The central canal, which runs through the garden from the top end, is {{convert|4|m|ft}} wide and has a water depth of {{convert|20|cm|in}}. Water flows down in a cascade from the top to the first terrace at the road level, which could also be approached from the Dal Lake through a [[shikara]] ride. The water flow from one terrace to the next is overstepped a stone ramps that provide the sparkle to the flow. At all the terraces, fountains with pools are provided, along the water channel. At channel crossings, benches are provided.&amp;lt;ref name=Nish/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The twelve terraces==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:India - Srinagar - 030 - fountains at Nishat Bagh Mughal Gardens.jpg|thumb|upright|Fountains on terraces in Nishat Bagh]]&lt;br /&gt;
:The details of the twelve terraces have been recorded as originally built:&lt;br /&gt;
*The first terrace is a water collection chamber that is also linked to the side flow from the garden.&lt;br /&gt;
*The second terrace is accessed through a gate. This terrace has five fountains that are supplied water from the third terrace, from where it flows to the lowest terrace.&lt;br /&gt;
*The third terrace has a different design. The water [[Chute (gravity)|chute]] has five arched open niches in the front and similar niches on the sides. A pavilion ([[Baradari (building)|baradari]]), a two-storied structure, which existed here when it was originally built, has since been dismantled. Stairways, on either side of the channel, lead to the third terrace, which has a square chamber with five fountains. Moving up the flight of steps (four steps) on either side of the channel leads to the fourth terrace.&lt;br /&gt;
*The fourth terrace has two levels, namely, a water channel and a square pool. Stairways with 7 steps lead to the fifth terrace.&lt;br /&gt;
*The fifth terrace, where a stone bench is provided to take in the view across the channel. This also has a square chamber with five fountains.&lt;br /&gt;
*The sixth terrace is at two levels with five fountains and a distinctive paving pattern.&lt;br /&gt;
*The seventh terrace, where the same pattern continues.&lt;br /&gt;
*The eighth terrace is only a water channel or chute.&lt;br /&gt;
*The ninth terrace, at the end of two stairways, there is an octagonal bench. The pool in this terrace has nine fountains.&lt;br /&gt;
*The stairways to the tenth terrace are along the side retaining walls, where only the water chute with fountains is provided.&lt;br /&gt;
*Engraved paths lead to an impressive eleventh terrace, which has twenty-five fountains in a pool. Up from this dramatic terrace is the last one.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Zenana chamber, the twelfth terrace, is covered in the front by {{convert|5.5|m|ft}} high wall with a façade of blind arches. Only one arch in this blind facade provides an opening to the twelfth terrace. Two small octagonal towers on either side of the retaining walls provide views of the lower-level terraces. A two-storey pavilion here is surrounded by a lovely garden with lush plantings.&amp;lt;ref name=Nish/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out of all the terraces, the second terrace is considered the most impressive because of the twenty-three niches provided in the arched recess just behind the cascade. Originally, lighted lamps used to be placed at these niches. The second terrace also has an abundance of Persian lilacs and pansies, coupled with sparkling cascading water over the chute, which provided a lovely sight.&amp;lt;ref name=nishat&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://travel.kashmironline.net/mughal_gardens.asp|title=Mughal Gardens!|access-date=2009-12-30|archive-date=12 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100312204017/http://travel.kashmironline.net/mughal_gardens.asp|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Another interesting feature in the Nishat Bagh is the many stones and marble thrones that are placed at the head of almost every waterfall.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Bharathi&#039;&#039;&#039; is an Indian actress who has appeared in the [[Tamil cinema|Tamil film industry]]. The actress won critical acclaim for her performance as a prostitute in &#039;&#039;[[Ammuvagiya Naan]]&#039;&#039; (2007) and later appeared in other Tamil and Malayalam language films.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Ammuvagiya-Naan-Bharathi-still-busy/articleshow/3377819.cms|title=Ammuvagiya Naan Bharathi still busy|website=[[The Times of India]]|date=19 August 2008 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Bharathi was signed on by director [[Padmamagan]] to be a part of &#039;&#039;[[Ammuvagiya Naan]]&#039;&#039; (2007), after several leading actresses had turned down the role. She portrayed a prostitute who attempts to ease back into society, and won critical acclaim for her portrayal with a reviewer noting she was &amp;quot;blessed with a role of her lifetime&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/dec-06-04/26-12-06-paarthiban.html|title=Tamil movies : Lead heroines reject the role of a prostitute Ammuvagiya Naan Movie Gallery parthipan parthiban pachakuthirai namitha puthiya pathai seetha parthipan bharathi tamil actor actress tamil movies}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-06/ammuvaaghiya-naan-review.html|title=AMMUVAAGHIYA NAAN MOVIE REVIEW R Parthiban Bharathi Mahadevan Thennavan Abhishek Rajashree director Padmamagan production P S Sekar Music Sabesh Murali hot stills picture image gallery}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite the success of &#039;&#039;Ammuvagiya Naan&#039;&#039;, Bharathi failed to get good offers in Tamil films and instead signed on to feature in Malayalam films. The actress signed on to appear in [[Anwar Rasheed]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Annan Thambi]]&#039;&#039; (2008) opposite [[Mammootty]], but was later replaced by [[Raai Laxmi|Lakshmi Rai]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/bharathi-goes-to-kerala-news-tamil-kkfuoVhfjdgsi.html |title=Bharathi goes to Kerala! |website=[[Sify]] |access-date=9 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924153105/http://www.sify.com/movies/bharathi-goes-to-kerala-news-tamil-kkfuoVhfjdgsi.html |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She then however moved on to work in Biju Pal&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Aayudham (2008 film)|Aayudham]]&#039;&#039; (2008), featuring alongside [[Suresh Gopi]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url = https://www.indiaglitz.com/bharathi-in-mollywood-malayalam-news-38363|title = Bharathi in Mollywood - Malayalam News|date = 5 May 2008|access-date = 20 March 2023|archive-date = 22 July 2024|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240722140349/https://www.indiaglitz.com/bharathi-in-mollywood-malayalam-news-38363|url-status = dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The film failed to become a box office success, and subsequently failed to garner further big budget film offers for Bharathi.{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}} She was also seen in [[Agathiyan]]&#039;s romantic film &#039;&#039;[[Nenjathai Killadhe (2008 film)|Nenjathai Killadhe]]&#039;&#039; (2008) with [[Vikranth]] and in &#039;&#039;[[Satrumun Kidaitha Thagaval]]&#039;&#039; (2009), a low-budget thriller, featuring stunt choreographer [[Kanal Kannan]] in the leading role.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://beta.sify.com/entertainment/carnaticmusic/news/fullstory.php?id=14595178 |title=Kanal Kannan turns hero|work=Sify |access-date=9 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305235915/http://beta.sify.com/entertainment/carnaticmusic/news/fullstory.php?id=14595178 |archive-date=5 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url = https://www.indiaglitz.com/bharathi-pairs-with-kanal-kannan-tamil-news-36099.html|title = Bharathi pairs with Kanal Kannan - Tamil News|date = 23 January 2008|access-date = 20 March 2023|archive-date = 22 July 2024|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240722140344/https://www.indiaglitz.com/bharathi-pairs-with-kanal-kannan-tamil-news-36099.html|url-status = dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bharathi subsequently turned down approaches to be a part of &#039;&#039;[[Engal Aasan]]&#039;&#039; (2009) and &#039;&#039;[[Enga Raasi Nalla Raasi]]&#039;&#039; (2009), and chose to quit the film industry after her marriage to her manager, Murugan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url = https://www.indiaglitz.com/wedding-bells-for-bharathi-tamil-news-39521.html|title = Wedding bells for Bharathi - Tamil News|date = 23 June 2008|access-date = 20 March 2023|archive-date = 22 July 2024|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240722140349/https://www.indiaglitz.com/wedding-bells-for-bharathi-tamil-news-39521.html|url-status = dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2010, she expressed a desire to make a comeback to acting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/59399.html| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100818031303/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/59399.html| url-status = dead| archive-date = 18 August 2010| title = Tamil Cinema News {{!}} Tamil Movie Reviews {{!}} Tamil Movie Trailers - IndiaGlitz Tamil}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She began work on &#039;&#039;Rudhram&#039;&#039;, a television soap drama on Jaya TV in late 2012.&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aditya Jindal has a troubled marriage with his selfish wife, Nisha Jindal, but remains with her for the sake of their daughters, Chinni and Binni, as well as his family who think highly of Nisha. Later, Janvi Agarwal enters Aditya&#039;s life. As a deep bond develops between Janvi and Aditya, he turns to her for support, in ending his marital problems for good. Soon they expose Nisha&#039;s true colors and realize their feelings for each other. Aditya divorces Nisha. Janvi and Aditya get married. Chinni and Binni accept Janvi. However, Aditya and Janvi&#039;s happiness is short-lived as Nisha takes revenge by killing them near Kuldevi Temple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===20 years later===&lt;br /&gt;
Aditya and Janvi are reincarnated as Arjun and Jiya respectively. Jiya is a model who comes back to India and slowly regains her past life memories as Janvi. She develops a bond with Aditya&#039;s aunt, Sharada, and elder daughter, Chinni. Sharada and Chinni were thrown out of Aditya&#039;s house by Nisha, who has now married Samar Shukla. Soon, Arjun also regains his past life memories as Aditya. Arjun and Jiya save Aditya&#039;s father, Amrish, from Nisha. They both fight against Nisha and in the process, they fall in love. Nisha kills Samar. Nisha and Samar&#039;s son, Chirag returns and develops a bond with Sharada, Chinni, Arjun and Jiya. Chinni and Amrish are killed by Nisha. Nisha falls off a cliff and is presumed dead. Arjun and Jiya come to know that Aditya&#039;s younger daughter, Binni, is alive, but has grown into a rich spoilt brat. They bring back Binni, who refuses to accept them as her family after being manipulated by Nisha. Nisha is revealed to be alive and returns to destroy Arjun and Jiya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, Binni realizes the schemes of Nisha and gets her arrested, uniting with her family. She falls in love with Arjun&#039;s younger brother, Dr. Akash Sinha. Jiya-Arjun and Binni-Akash are arranged to marry on the same day. Unfortunately, Arjun and Akash&#039;s mother, Ambika, stops the marriage and reveals a woman, Rano, as Arjun&#039;s wife. Jiya feels Arjun has cheated on her and leaves him at the altar. Binni gets upset with Akash as he didn&#039;t reveal that he was Arjun&#039;s brother. Later, it&#039;s revealed that Arjun&#039;s marriage with Rano was incomplete as he had left her at the altar. Akash manages to persuade Binni. Ambika refuses to accept neither Jiya nor Binni cause of their western culture. Jiya discovers that Rano wants to seek revenge from Arjun&#039;s family and is just manipulating them. After several events, Jiya and Akash expose Rano who is thrown out. Arjun and Akash&#039;s father, Prakash, is saved from Rano. Ambika accepts both Jiya and Binni. Nisha escapes from prison and kills Arjun. Arjun&#039;s soul kills Nisha in an act of revenge. Binni and Akash are reunited while Jiya mourns for Arjun&#039;s death.&lt;br /&gt;

He rejoined [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] on 25 March 2024.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life and education ==&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy was born on 11 January 1967. He has two brothers, [[G. Karunakara Reddy]] and [[G. Somashekara Reddy]], and an elder sister, Rajeswari. He and his siblings were born in [[Bellary]], [[Karnataka]] to Rukminamma and Chenga Reddy, a police constable.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;NYT-aug2010&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/world/asia/19india.html|title=Despite Swirl of Scandals, Indian Mining Bosses Thrive|last=Yardley|first=Jim|date=18 August 2010|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=19 August 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His family originally hails from [[Chittoor]], Andhra Pradesh.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesouthfirst.com/karnataka/mining-baron-gali-janardhana-reddy-and-his-tryst-with-bjp-rise-fall-exile-and-return/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Janardhana Reddy has a pre-university college education.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy is both an entrepreneur and a politician, and he owns a gold company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== As an Entrepreneur ===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, Reddy established a residuary non-banking [[finance company]] called, Ennoble India Savings &amp;amp; Investment Company Limited, under the [[Reserve Bank of India|RBI]] in 1989. Across [[South India]], the company had a total of 125 branches with a turnover of 350 crores. While the company was still functioning, it has stopped collecting deposits from 2003. He surrendered the Certificate of Registration to the [[Reserve Bank of India|RBI]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.rbi.org.in/|title=Bellary barons, Karnataka kings|date=8 November 2009|publisher=The Telegraph, Calcutta, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.tehelka.com/story_main39.asp?filename=Ne140608thereddyflag.asp|title=The Reddy Flag Over Bangalore|publisher=Tehelka|access-date=28 May 2011|archive-date=22 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922072927/http://www.tehelka.com/story_main39.asp?filename=Ne140608thereddyflag.asp|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as the RBI stated in an advertisement made on the national news paper &#039;&#039;The Hindu&#039;&#039; that &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;M/s Ennoble India Savings and Investment Co.Ltd., having its Registered Office at 6(4), Raghavachari Road, Opposite Radhika Theatre, Bellary -583 101, has violated various provisions of Reserve Bank of India’s Directions relating to acceptance of deposits, investment in approved securities and submission of stipulated returns to the Bank. The financial position of the Company is not satisfactory and its Net Owned Fund has turned negative. The bank has, therefore, prohibited the Company with effect from October 05, 1998 from accepting deposits from any person including the existing depositors /certificate holders, in any form whether by way of subscriptions / instalments to any scheme conducted by the Company or by way of renewal of deposit or otherwise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2001, he took over [[Obulapuram Mining Company]] (OMCPL) which had an iron-ore mining lease.&lt;br /&gt;
Allegedly, his political clout helped him to get the iron-ore mining license in [[Anantapur district]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]] in 2004. The government of Andhra Pradesh allocated 10760 acres of land for the project. However, the project didn&#039;t take off and the land allotted was canceled in 2013.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Service |first=Express News |date=2013-04-26 |title=Government cancels 10,760 acre land allotment to Brahmani |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2013/Apr/26/government-cancels-10760-acre-land-allotment-to-brahmani-471551.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== As a politician ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy came into political spotlight during the 1999 [[Lok Sabha]] elections when the Reddy brothers were working as part of [[Sushma Swaraj]]&#039;s campaign. At the time, Swaraj had been competing as a [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) candidate in Bellary against [[Sonia Gandhi]], who belonged to the [[Indian National Congress]], to become the MP. Although Swaraj was unsuccessful, she remained a patron of the Reddys and was known to visit Bellary frequently. After the Reddy brothers were charged&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; during the mining scandal, Swaraj distanced herself from them. The allegations against Reddy brought a bad reputation for the BJP in [[Karnataka]] and exposed opportunistic politics in the state.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/south/story/sushma-distances-herself-from-reddys-140414-2011-09-04|title=Once &#039;her sons&#039;, Sushma now distances herself from Reddys|publisher=India Today}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, due to the BJP - [[Janata Dal (Secular)|Janta Dal (Secular)]] (JDS) coalition government and the efforts of Reddy, [[B. Sriramulu]] was made a Cabinet Minister. In 2006, Reddy was made a Member of the Legislative Council to recognize his active role in increasing the BJP presence in Bellary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/people/who-is-janardhana-reddy-466707|title=Who is Janardhana Reddy?|website=NDTV.com|access-date=2019-04-23}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, in later years, Reddy fought with Chief Minister [[H. D. Kumaraswamy]], and made allegations, and provided evidence of corruption, resulting in his suspension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, H. D. Kumaraswamy did not hand over the government to [[B. S. Yeddyurappa]] at the required time. The State President of the party at the time, [[D. V. Sadananda Gowda]] and B. S. Yeddyurappa revoked Reddy’s suspension who then campaigned alongside Yeddyurappa for BJP during the Assembly Elections of 2008. Aided by Reddy’s efforts, BJP emerged as the single largest party with 110 seats and with the support of 5 independent MLA’s, BJP formed a government in South India for the first time on its own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy was then inducted as the Minister for Tourism and Infrastructure and the Minister in-charge of the Bellary district,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;outlook-oct2009&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?262756|title=karnataka: Reddys vs BSY: BSY looks cornered, Reddy&#039;s muscle in|publisher=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook Magazine]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; setting many developmental milestones for the state and for Bellary during this period.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?262754|title=Politics: BJP: Shobha Karandlaje, BSY&#039;s points-woman, is central to the crisis|publisher=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook Magazine]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?266354|title=A Rich Vein of Avarice: Older hands shaped the cunning bluster of Jaganmohan, the Reddys|publisher=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook Magazine]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In spite of allegations made against Reddy and his period of judicial custody, Reddy remains a popular politician which was witnessed by the state on 29 January 2017&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/215531/Rosaiah-gets-Janardhana-Reddy-handle-to-beat-Jagan.html|title=Rosaiah gets Janardhana Reddy to handle to beat Jagan|publisher=[[The Pioneer (Indian newspaper)|The Pioneer]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?261668|title=The Man From Kadappa|publisher=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|The Outlook]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; when Reddy received a standing ovation from a large crowd at the HemaVema function in the palace grounds in Bangalore. Reddy did not contest the Karnataka assembly polls in 2018; however, his brothers, Sriramulu and four other candidates close to Reddy received a BJP ticket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 25 December 2022, Reddy quit BJP and soon announced the launching of a new political outfit called &amp;quot;Kalyana Rajya Pragati Paksha&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2022-12-25 |title=Mining baron Janardhana Reddy launches new party &#039;Kalyana Rajya Pragati Paksha&#039; |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/state/karnataka-politics/mining-baron-janardhana-reddy-launches-new-party-kalyana-rajya-pragati-paksha-1174888.html |access-date=2022-12-25 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2022-12-25 |title=Karnataka mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy floats his own party: &#039;New episode&#039; |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/bengaluru-news/karnataka-mining-baron-gali-janardhan-reddy-floats-his-own-party-new-episode-101671956950127.html |access-date=2022-12-25 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the May 2023 Legislative assembly elections for Karnataka, Reddy made a remarkable comeback to active politics by winning the Gangavathi assembly segment contesting on the Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Party ticket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 25, 2024 he merged his party, Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Party, into the [[BJP]] before the [[2024 Indian General Election]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Karnataka MLA Janardhana Reddy merges his party with BJP&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=The Hindu |first1= |title=Karnataka MLA Janardhana Reddy merges his party with BJP |url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/lok-sabha/janardhan-reddy-merges-his-party-with-bjp/article67990283.ece |access-date=25 March 2024 |date=25 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240325081705/https://www.thehindu.com/elections/lok-sabha/janardhan-reddy-merges-his-party-with-bjp/article67990283.ece |archive-date=25 March 2024 |language=en-IN}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-03-25|title=Karnataka MLA Janardhana Reddy joins BJP, says &#039;don&#039;t need any positions&#039;|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/g-janardhana-reddy-bengaluru-karnataka-mla-joins-bjp-lok-sabha-polls-2519074-2024-03-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social service ==&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy runs a school for [[mentally retarded|mentally disabled]] [[children]] since 1997 and an [[old age]] home from 2004 with his own funds.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Ram |first=Theja |date=2017-11-16 |title=A quiet burial for some of the mining cases against Janardhana Reddy? |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/quiet-burial-some-mining-cases-against-janardhana-reddy-71694 |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=The News Minute |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversies ==&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, Reddy has been involved in many controversies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Operation Kamala===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Excerpt|Operation Kamala|fragment=lead section}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Illegal Mining ===&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2011, the [[Lokayukta]] of [[Karnataka]], [[Santosh Hegde]], published a report on the illegal mining activities in the Bellary region. Reddy was accused of completely rigging iron ore mining in this area and defrauding the government. [[Directorate General of Income Tax Investigation]] officials had clues to tax evasion and found that Reddy had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a one-dollar company in Singapore to camouflage the company&#039;s income suppression. They raided the place along with other investigative agencies and formed a report which served as the basis of the report on illegal mining. Reddy is said to have designed a &amp;quot;Zero-Risk system&amp;quot; of iron ore mining, where he seamlessly provided protection to unauthorized and unaccounted mining, with active connivance from government officials at all levels. The rule of the iron ore mafia under his command was called the &amp;quot;Republic of Bellary&amp;quot; in which no external control or governance mechanism had any effect.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/in-the-republic-of-bellary-a-ministers/825181/|title=In the &#039;Republic of Bellary&#039;, a minister&#039;s &#039;muscle power&#039;|date=1 August 2011|work=The Indian Express}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/karnataka/article2302226.ece|title=Report details Reddys&#039; rule over &#039;Republic of Bellary&#039;|date=28 July 2011|work=The Hindu|location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Bribery ===&lt;br /&gt;
The CBI is investigating the alleged bribing of the [[Hyderabad]] Special Court judge T. Pattabhirama Rao by Reddy&#039;s family members (G.Somashekar Reddy &amp;amp; H.Suresh Babu) in order to secure his bail in the Obulapuram Mining Company case. Further investigations by CBI implicated others, including a retired judge T.V. Chalapathi Rao, in the &amp;quot;Cash for Bail&amp;quot; scandal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/254293/cbi-intensifies-probe-reddy-bail.html|title=CBI intensifies probe into Reddy bail scandal|work=The Deccan Herald|date=3 June 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The IT department issued notices and Reddy provided an explanation to the department but these explanations were rejected by the CIT Appeals. He preferred to appeal in all the matters before the Hon&#039;ble ITAT and the Hon&#039;ble Tribunal has allowed all appeals in his favour by dismissing the stand taken by the IT department.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/andhra-pradesh/article3540297.ece|title=Larger design in cash-for-bail scam?|date=18 June 2012|work=The Hindu|location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3540225.ece|title=How mining mafia established a &amp;quot;Republic of Fear&amp;quot; in Bellary|last=Mondal|first=Sudipto|date=18 June 2012|work=The Hindu|location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 132456821541&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Daughter&#039;s Wedding ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reddy was criticised over the lavish wedding of his daughter, Brahmani, which was held in [[Bangalore Palace|Palace Grounds, Bangalore]]. He allegedly spent 500 crores ($71 million) for his daughter&#039;s wedding. Brahmani married a 23-year-old MBA graduate who hails from a family operating gold mines in [[South Africa]], [[Tanzania]] and granite marble businesses in [[Turkey]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37996554|title=Images of India&#039;s huge and controversial wedding|work=BBC News|date=16 November 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/16/janardhana-reddy-lavish-wedding-for-indian-politicians-daughter/|title=Lavish wedding for Indian politician&#039;s daughter causes uproar|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=16 November 2016|last1=Molloy|first1=Mark}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/photos/news/in-pics-the-big-fat-reddy-wedding-in-bengaluru-23291|title=In Pics: The Big Fat Reddy Wedding in Bengaluru, Photo Gallery}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/lavish-setting-for-reddys-daughters-wedding/article9346607.ece|title=Lavish setting for Reddy&#039;s daughter&#039;s wedding|last=Deepika|first=K. c|date=15 November 2016|work=The Hindu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sacred Heart Cathedral&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] church located near the [[Government Botanical Garden|Botanical Gardens]] in [[Ooty]] (Udhagamandalam) in the Nilgiris district, in Tamil Nadu in south India.  Built in 1897, it is the second oldest Roman Catholic church in Ooty, the oldest being St. Mary&#039;s Church.  It was designated a [[cathedral]] in 1955 when the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Ootacamund|Diocese of Ootacamund]] was created.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OotyDiocese&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A visit by a [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] priest from [[Calicut]] in late 1602 or early 1603 was perhaps the earliest documented visit of Christians to the [[Nilgiri Mountains]].  The Jesuit Fr. Jacome Ferreiri, was sent to locate any Christians living in the Nilgiris.  Although he did not find evidence of any, he spent a few days in the hills and later wrote a report on the manners and customs of the [[Toda people|Todas]] and [[Badagas]], the tribes that he visited.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Price1908&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{rp|pp=1-2}}  Two centuries later, Catholics among the Europeans who settled in Ooty in 1823 built a small chapel.  Subsequently, the first church, St. Mary&#039;s Church was consecrated in 1870.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Price1908&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Price |first=Frederick |title=Ootacamund: A History |date=1908 |publisher=Superintendent, Government Press |isbn=81-206-1513-1 |edition=Reprinted by [[Asian Educational Services]], New Delhi/Madras in 2000 |location=Madras |publication-date=1908}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{rp|pp=93-94}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Catholic population continued to grow, land for a second church was purchased in 1895.  The church was constructed by Fr. E. Foubert.  It was consecrated as the &#039;&#039;Church of the Sacred Heart&#039;&#039; on 28 February 1897 by Monseigneur Bardon, Bishop of Coimbatore.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Price1908&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{rp|pp=94}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Francis |first=W. |title=The Nilgiris |publisher=The Superintendent, Government Press |year=1908 |isbn=81-206-0546-2 |edition=Reprinted by [[Asian Educational Services]], New Delhi/Madras, 1994 |location=Madras |pages=125–6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The bell towers were built in 1918.  They were named the &amp;quot;Towers of Victory&amp;quot; in commemoration of the end of the [[World War I]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OotyDiocese&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 3 July 1955, the church was designated as &#039;&#039;Sacred Heart Cathedral&#039;&#039;, the seat of the newly-formed Diocese of Ootacamund.  The church was renovated and extended in 1987.  In 2014, it was given a facelift for the [[diamond jubilee]] of the Diocese.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Price1908&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;{{rp|pp=94}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OotyDiocese&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Solar energetic particles-NASA STEREO.gif|thumb|Animation of NASA&#039;s [[STEREO]] [[coronagraph]] during a [[coronal mass ejection]] followed by solar energetic particles]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Solar energetic particles&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;SEP&#039;&#039;&#039;), formerly known as &#039;&#039;&#039;solar cosmic rays&#039;&#039;&#039;, are [[Particle physics|high-energy]], [[charged particle]]s originating in the [[solar atmosphere]] and [[solar wind]]. They consist of [[protons]], [[electrons]] and heavy ions with energies ranging from a few tens of [[keV]] to many [[GeV]]. The exact processes involved in transferring energy to SEPs is a subject of ongoing study.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SEPs are relevant to the field of [[space weather]], as they are responsible for [[SEP event]]s and [[ground level enhancement]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
SEPs were first detected in February and March 1942 by [[Scott Forbush]] indirectly as ground level enhancements.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Scott E. |first1=Forebush |title=Three Unusual Cosmic-Ray Increases Possibly Due to Charged Particles from the Sun |journal=Physical Review |date=November 1946 |volume=70 |issue=9–10 |pages=771–772 |doi=10.1103/PhysRev.70.771 |bibcode=1946PhRv...70..771F |url=https://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.70.771|url-access=subscription }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solar particle events==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Solar particle event}}&lt;br /&gt;
SEPs are accelerated during [[solar particle event]]s. These can originate either from a [[solar flare]] site or by [[shock waves]] associated with [[coronal mass ejection]]s (CMEs). However, only about 1% of CMEs produce strong SEP events.{{Citation needed | reason=Where does this 1% number come from? This seems to contradict the electrical grid danger mentioned in the Coronal_mass_ejection article |date=May 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two main mechanisms of acceleration are possible: diffusive shock acceleration (DSA, an example of second-order [[Fermi acceleration]]) or the shock-drift mechanism. SEPs can be accelerated to energies of several tens of MeV within 5–10 solar radii (5% of the Sun–Earth distance) and can reach Earth in a few minutes in extreme cases. This makes prediction and warning of SEP events quite challenging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2021, NASA reported that scientists had located the source of several SEP events, potentially leading to improved predictions in the future.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Hatfield|first=Miles|date=2021-03-10|title=Scientists Trace Fastest Solar Particles Back to the Sun|url=http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2021/in-first-scientists-trace-fastest-solar-particles-to-their-roots-on-the-sun|access-date=2021-03-15|website=NASA}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last1=Brooks|first1=David H.|last2=Yardley|first2=Stephanie L.|date=March 2021|title=The source of the major solar energetic particle events from super active region 11944|url= |journal=Science Advances|language=en|volume=7|issue=10|article-number=eabf0068|doi=10.1126/sciadv.abf0068|issn=2375-2548|pmc=7929501|pmid=33658205|arxiv=2103.13621 |bibcode=2021SciA....7...68B }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Research==&lt;br /&gt;
SEPs are of interest to scientists because they provide a good sample of [[Sun#Composition|solar material]]. Despite the [[nuclear fusion]] occurring in the [[Solar core|core]], the majority of solar material is representative of the material that formed the [[Solar System]]. By studying SEP&#039;s [[Isotope|isotopic]] composition, scientists can indirectly measure the material that formed the Solar System.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Priyan was born and raised in [[Virudhunagar]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. While he was doing an industrial course in polytechnics, Priyan spent his time with his uncle Ganesan during a summer vacation in Chennai. Having noticed his interest in cinema, his uncle introduced him to his friend K. Balaji, an actor-producer in the Tamil film industry. Priyan subsequently started working in K. Balaji&#039;s camera unit and worked for the production house, Sujatha International, for five years as an assistant cinematographer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through his work, he was introduced to cinematographer-director [[Balu Mahendra]] and worked with him on films including &#039;&#039;[[Moondram Pirai]]&#039;&#039; (1982), &#039;&#039;[[Olangal]]&#039;&#039; (1982), &#039;&#039;[[Sadma]]&#039;&#039; (1983) and &#039;&#039;[[Yathra]]&#039;&#039; (1984). Moreover, he worked in the cinematography teams of films including [[Mani Ratnam]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Pagal Nilavu]]&#039;&#039; (1985) and &#039;&#039;[[Nayakan]]&#039;&#039; (1987). Priyan then worked in productions by [[Rajiv Menon]] and [[Suresh Menon]], collaborating with them for serials and commercials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.fridaycinemaa.com/cinematographer-priyan-talks-suriya-s-si3-long-journey-along-witb-director-hari/ |title=Cinematographer Priyan talks about Suriya &#039;s Si3 &amp;amp; his long journey along witb Director Hari !! - fridaycinemaa |website=www.fridaycinemaa.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211162646/http://www.fridaycinemaa.com/cinematographer-priyan-talks-suriya-s-si3-long-journey-along-witb-director-hari/ |archive-date=2017-02-11}} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priyan made his debut as an independent cinematographer with [[K. S. Adhiyaman]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Thotta Chinungi]]&#039;&#039; (1995), before regularly associating with director [[Cheran (director)|Cheran]] in films including &#039;&#039;[[Porkkaalam]]&#039;&#039; (1997), &#039;&#039;[[Desiya Geetham]]&#039;&#039; (1998) and &#039;&#039;[[Vetri Kodi Kattu]]&#039;&#039; (1999). During the turn of the millennium, Priyan got the opportunity to work on high-profile projects including [[K. S. Ravikumar]]&#039;s [[Kamal Haasan]]-starrer &#039;&#039;[[Thenali]]&#039;&#039; (2000), &#039;&#039;[[Star (2001 film)|Star]]&#039;&#039; (2001) and &#039;&#039;[[Majunu]]&#039;&#039; (2001). Thereafter he has regularly collaborated in films with [[Hari (director)|Hari]] and has worked on 13 movies barring &#039;&#039;[[Venghai]]&#039;&#039; (2011), where Priyan was busy working on &#039;&#039;[[Velayudham]]&#039;&#039; (2011).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/4D_k_-YImxw Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20170213133028/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D_k_-YImxw Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D_k_-YImxw| title = Cinematographer Priyan and Hari&#039;s 12th Successful Partnership - Poojai {{!}} Interview | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Dempo then began their [[2012–13 I-League]] season as the defending champions on 6 October 2012 against [[Churchill Brothers S.C.]] at the [[Fatorda Stadium]] in [[Margao]], [[Goa]] in which Dempo won the match 2–1 with their goals coming from the club&#039;s newest [[Japan]]ese signing [[Ryuji Sueoka]] in the 2nd and 75th minute while former midfielder and captain of the side, [[Roberto Mendes Silva|Beto]] scored the equalizer for Churchill Brothers in the 47th minute.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Dempo SC 2-1 Churchill Brothers SC: Ryuji Sueoka&#039;s brace seals the Goan derby|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93647/dempo-sports-club-vs-churchill-brothers-sc/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=28 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dempo then won their second match of the season on 12 October 2012 against [[Sporting Clube de Goa]] in a huge 5–0 victory with [[Anthony Pereira]] scoring early in the 15th minute before Ryuji Sueoka scoring his third goal of the season in the 22nd minute, then [[Clifford Miranda]] got his I-League goalscoring campaign to a good start with two goals in the 69th and 74th minutes of the match and [[Nigeria]]n [[Koko Sakibo]] finished the match off in the 93rd minute with a goal from the penalty spot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Sporting Clube de Goa 0-5 Dempo SC: Five-star performance by the defending I-League champions|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93665/sporting-clube-de-goa-vs-dempo-sports-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=28 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dempo then finished their first month of the I-League with their first away victory of the season on 28 October 2012 when they defeated promoted newcomers [[United Sikkim F.C.]] 2–1 with Koko Sakibo scoring the first goal of the match in the 20th minute before [[Salau Nuruddin]] scored the equalizer in the 59th minute and Ryuji Sueoka scored the winner from the penalty spot in the 93rd minute.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Bera|first=Kaustav|title=United Sikkim FC 1-2 Dempo SC: The defending champions maintain their perfect start|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93673/united-sikkim-football-club-vs-dempo-sports-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=28 December 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The club then began the new year and January against Prayag United on 4 January 2013 at the [[Kalyani Stadium]] in [[West Bengal]] in which the club lost 1–0 thanks to a 90th minute free-kick goal from [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rican]] international [[Carlos Hernández (footballer, born 1982)|Carlos Hernández]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Bali|first=Rahul|title=Prayag United 1-0 Dempo SC: Carlos Hernandez&#039;s free-kick stuns the defending champions|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96215/prayag-united-vs-dempo-sports-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=6 January 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dempo then continued what was by their standards a very weak game after the club drew 0–0 between the relegation contenders, Shillong Lajong, in [[Shillong]] on 13 January 2013.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Shillong Lajong 0-0 Dempo SC - Armando Colaco&#039;s side fall further behind in the title race|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96231/shillong-lajong-fc-vs-dempo-sports-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=15 January 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However Dempo put those results behind them when they came up with a staggering 7–0 victory against United Sikkim at the [[Duler Stadium]] on 19 January 2013 in which Joaquim Abranches scored the opener for Dempo in the 5th minute before Clifford Miranda doubled the lead in the 35th minute and then Koko Sakibo, who ended up with a hat-trick, scored 56th, 59th, and 94th minutes of the match with Clifford Miranda and [[Joy Ferrao]] scoring within those goals in the 77th minute and 84th minute.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Dempo SC 7-0 United Sikkim FC: The Eagles fly past the injured Snow Lions|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96235/dempo-sports-club-vs-united-sikkim-football-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=19 January 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dempo then ended the month of January with a surprise draw against ONGC at the Duler Stadium in which a 91st-minute goal from Peter Carvalho canceled a 37th-minute goal from ONGC&#039;s [[Jatin Singh]] to earn Dempo a last grasp 1–1 draw.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Dempo SC 1-1 ONGC FC: Carvalho strikes late to deny the Oilmen an away win|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96242/dempo-sports-club-vs-ongc-fc/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=3 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The club then entered what would be a relatively short month compared to the other months of the season as they only played two matches in the I-League before the month long break till March. Dempo played their first match of the month on 2 February 2013 against Mumbai at the Duler Stadium in which the club had to score two goals in the final five minutes to draw the match 2–2 after both [[Evans Quao]] and [[David Opara]] scored for Mumbai in the 40th and 67th minute respectively and Peter Carvalho and Koko Sakibo scoring for Dempo in the 86th and 89th minutes respectively.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Dempo SC 2-2 Mumbai FC: The Goan side snatch a point in a controversial draw|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96253/dempo-sports-club-vs-mumbai-fc/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=18 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dempo then ended the month on a sad note when they fell 2–1 to Air India at the Balewadi Sports Complex on 10 February 2013; [[Prakash Thorat]] and [[Henry Ezeh]] scored for Air India while new loan signing [[Johnny Menyongar]] scored the conciliation for Dempo in the 83rd minute.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Srivastava|first=Ayush|title=Air India 2-1 Dempo SC: Armando Colaco&#039;s side let go of a glorious opportunity to close the gap on East Bengal|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96708/air-india-vs-dempo-sports-club/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=18 February 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The club however then entered the month of April with their fifth loss in a row after losing 2–0 to developmental side Pailan Arrows at the newly revamped [[Tilak Maidan Stadium]] in which goals from [[Holicharan Narzary]] and [[Alwyn George]] saw the Arrows run away with the victory.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Noronha|first=Anselm|title=Dempo SC 0-2 Pailan Arrows: Armando Colaco&#039;s men lose five in a row now|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/96724/dempo-sc-vs-pailan-arrows-fc/report|work=Goal.com|accessdate=12 April 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
