== History ==
===Before Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent===
Before coming together under AQIS, there were various jihadist factions operating in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. One of these factions operated in [[Karachi, Pakistan]], and were responsible for numerous attacks in the city. On 11 December 2014, AQIS issued a report detailing these attacks.

On 3 September 2014, [[Ayman al-Zawahiri]], leader of [[al-Qaeda]], announced the establishment of a new branch in the Indian subcontinent in a 55-minute video posted online.<ref name="BARRY 2014">{{cite web|last=Barry|first=Ellen|title=4 Young Men Head for Iraq, Citing Fight for Islam, and India Wonders if More Will Follow|website=[[The New York Times]]|date=4 September 2014|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/05/world/asia/al-qaeda-announces-new-branch-on-indian-subcontinent.html?nytmobile=0|access-date=7 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907192004/http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/05/world/asia/al-qaeda-announces-new-branch-on-indian-subcontinent.html?nytmobile=0|archive-date=2014-09-07|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> During the announcement, Zawahiri stated that it had taken two years to gather various jihadist factions into the new group, and introduced [[Asim Umar]], an Indian national<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/OFAC-Enforcement/Pages/20160630.aspx|title=Counter Terrorism Designations and Removals|work=United States Department of the Treasury|date=30 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821173353/https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/OFAC-Enforcement/Pages/20160630.aspx|archive-date=21 August 2016|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> and a former commander of [[Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan]] (TTP), as its Emir.<ref name="lwj05Sep"/>

The announcement also introduced the group's spokesman, Usama Mahmoud, who praised militant commanders like [[Amjad Farooqi]], [[Ilyas Kashmiri]] and [[Hassan Ghul]]. Farooqi was killed by Pakistani security forces. Kashmiri and Ghul were killed by [[Drone attacks in Pakistan|US drone strikes]] in Pakistan.<ref name="lwj05Sep" /> The formation of the AQIS was part of Zawahiri's strategy to capitalise on [[Pakistani military]]'s policy of tolerance towards anti-Indian insurgent groups, as well as to counter the expansion of the [[Islamic State]] militant group in the subcontinent.<ref name=":3" />

Despite Zawahiri's announcement, [[Al Qaeda]] could not succeed in making any direct presence in India. Although some Kashmiris were arrested for assisting al Qaeda in the country{{Citation needed|date=August 2018}}, there is no evidence of any organized presence of the group in the region. Specifically, there has been no record of territorial claim, group activity or kidnapping of civilian or government officials by Al Qaeda.

==Relations with other Islamist factions==
Since the 1980s, al-Qaeda has formed close relations with Islamist insurgent groups in Kashmir.<ref name=":3" /> In his announcement declaring the formation of AQIS, Ayman al-Zawahiri stated that [[sharia]] law has to be completely implemented under an [[Islamic state]] in Pakistan, while fervently denouncing the Indian government as an enemy of Islam. Al-Qaeda's emphasis on directing its enmity against India, while refraining from directly targeting Pakistan, is viewed as part of its strategy to strengthen its relations with Pakistan-backed militant groups.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Haqqani |first=Husain |date=27 March 2015 |title=Prophecy & the Jihad in the Indian Subcontinent |url=https://www.hudson.org/national-security-defense/prophecy-the-jihad-in-the-indian-subcontinent |website=hudson.org}}</ref>

'''Kiran Shankar Roy''', also credited as '''Kiron Sankar Roy''' ({{respell|Kiy|ron|_|Shan|kor|_|Roi|}}; 25 October 1891 – 20 February 1949) was an Indian politician, academic, and freedom fighter. He was one of the leading figures of the [[Swaraj Party]] in the anti-British [[Indian independence movement|independence movement of the Indian subcontinent]] and one-time colleague of [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and associate of [[Sarat Chandra Bose]]. He was one of Bengal's big five prominent Congress leaders during the two decades 1920s and 1940s. Roy was also a Leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the Bengal Assembly<ref name="সংসদ">[[Subodh Chandra Sengupta]] and Anjali Basu, eds., ''সংসদ বাঙালি চরিতাভিধান (1976)'', Part I, সাহিত্য সংসদ, কলকাতা, আগস্ট ২০১৬, পৃষ্ঠা ১৩৯, {{ISBN|978-81-7955-135-6}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.presidentofindia.gov.in/pranab_mukherjee/speeches/speech-president-india-shri-pranab-mukherjee-occasion-valedictory-ceremony-platinum|title=Speech by the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee on the Occasion of the Valedictory Ceremony of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations (1937 to 2012) of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly|publisher=[[President of India]]}}{{Dead link|date=February 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref>

== Early life ==
Kiran Shankar Roy was born to Hara Sankar Roy on October 25, 1891, in a [[Bengalis|Bengali]] zamindar family of Teota village of [[Shivalaya Upazila]], [[Manikganj District]] of [[Bangladesh]]. His early education was at Teota Academy, a village school. Later he studied at [[Hindu School]] and [[St. Xavier's College, Kolkata|St. Xavier's College]], Calcutta and later [[Bangabasi College]] where he studied intermediate arts.

During his time in college, Roy was influenced by the radical nationalist movement during the [[First Partition of Bengal]]. To keep him away from participating in the movement, his family sent him to England to pursue his higher education. He studied history at [[New College, Oxford]] in 1909 where he was a prominent member of the Oxford Indian Majlis and was appointed its President for a term. He returned to the country in 1914 and taught history at [[Presidency University, Kolkata|Presidency College]] and [[Sanskrit College and University|Sanskrit College]].

But as protested against the [[Rowlatt Act]], he resigned in displeasure with the British Ruler and went to England to study law again in 1919 at Lincoln's Inn but did not complete the course. He returned home as a barrister and joined the [[Indian National Congress]] in 1921. He became Vice-Principal and Professor of English Literature at National College (Calcutta Vidyapeeth). Subhash Chandra Bose was the principal at that time. Later became the Vice-Chancellor of the National University (Gauriya Sarva-Vidyayatana).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Roy, Kiron Sankar |url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Roy,_Kiron_Sankar |publisher= [[Banglapedia]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Zamindar Family of Teota |url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Zamindar_Family_of_Teota |publisher= [[Banglapedia]]}}</ref>

== Political career ==
===Political activities (1921–1946)===
In 1921, Roy became actively involved in the [[Indian independence movement]] and participated in the [[Non-cooperation movement (1919–1922)|non-cooperation movement]] under the leadership of [[Chittaranjan Das]]. During this period, he was detained by the British authorities for writing a seditious article. But in 1922, when the non-cooperation movement was withdrawn and the Alternative [[Swaraj Party]] was formed under the leadership of Chittaranjan Das and [[Motilal Nehru]], he was one of the five main members of the party. In 1923 he became the party's secretary. Roy had been a member of the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee and the All-India Congress Committee since 1922 and held important positions both in parliamentary and non-parliamentary wings. He was Leader of the Congress Party, and Leader of the Opposition, in the Bengal Assembly in the late 1930s and 1940s. He was arrested and imprisoned in the [[Salt March|Civil Disobedience Movement]] in [[British Raj|Colonial India]].

He re-joined the [[Indian National Congress]] in 1933 and was elected to the [[Bengal Legislative Assembly (1937—1947)|Bengal Legislative Assembly]] as a member of the Congress. He worked as a colleague of [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and later became the secretary of the Ad. Hoc Congress Committee.

After the [[1946 Indian provincial elections]], Roy led Congress negotiations with [[Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy]] to form a Muslim-League coalition government but negotiations broke down due to disputes over issues such as the release of political prisoners and distribution of ministerial offices between Congress and the Muslim League coalesced with opposition to a Congress-Muslim League coalition by the Congress and Muslim League high command. Roy critiqued Suhrawardy for his complicity in the [[Direct Action Day]] communal riots in [[Calcutta]]. Roy also was elected to the Constituent Assembly in 1946 on a Congress party ticket.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ikramullah |first=Begum Shaista |title=Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy: A Biography |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |year=1991 |location=Karachi |pages=133–137}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Rashid |first=Harun-or- |title=The Foreshadowing of Bangladesh: Bengal Muslim League and Muslim Politics, 1906–1947 |publisher=University Press Limited |edition=2nd |location=Dhaka |publication-date=2003}}</ref>

===United Bengal (1947)===
Like Sarat Chandra Bose, Roy was vehemently and persistently opposed to the partition of Bengal and was naturally a supporter of the Provincial Coalition Party and Forward Bloc Congress led by Sarat Bose. Roy was against [[Rajagopalachari|C.R. Rajagopalachari's]] 1944 [[C. R. formula|Rajaji formula]] which essentially conceded Pakistan on condition that it come about with plebiscites in Muslim-majority regions and the Partition of Punjab and Bengal. Kiran Shankar supported Sarat Bose's [[United Bengal|United Bengal scheme]], which was in turn supported by Suhrawardy and [[Abul Hashim]]. Roy nonetheless had doubts about the viability of an independent Bengal at first but was converted to it. Roy supported [[Frederick Burrows]] and [[Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma|Louis Mountbattens]] proposal for the representative coalition government and joint electorates in Bengal. However, the United Bengal scheme failed given it had no mass support among Hindus and Muslims in Bengal, despite Bose and Suhrawardy's initial insistence that most people in Bengal (including Hindus) were against Partition. The Bengal Provincial Congress and Indian National Congress high command led by [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]] vehemently opposed the defiant and lone efforts of Bose and Roy in agitating against the Partition of Bengal in 1947, calling for them to conform to Congress's official policy. Whilst [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] initially provided tacit support to the United Bengal scheme, the [[All-India Muslim League]] high command would also oppose the scheme with the Nazimuddin faction, in contrast to the Suhrawardy faction, of the [[Bengal Provincial Muslim League]] supporting Partition and inclusion in a unitary Pakistan.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://samakal.com/special-ayojon/article/97675/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF|script-title=bn:বাংলাদেশের রাজনীতি|work=[[Samakal]]|language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |author = [[Joya Chatterji]] |title=Bengal Divided: Hindu communalism and partition, 1932-1947 |publisher= [[Cambridge University Press]] |year=1995 |isbn=9780521411288 |pages=259–265}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Hussain |first=Syed Sajjad |title=The Wastes of Time: Reflections on the Decline and Fall of East Pakistan |publisher=Muslim Renaissance Movement and Notun Safar Prokashani |year=1995 |edition=1st |location=Dhaka |pages=110}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Shila |title=Muslim Politics in Bengal, 1937-1947 |year=1976 |location=Delhi |publisher=Impex India |pages=237–245}}</ref>

===Last years (1947–1949)===
After independence, he also became the Congress party leader in the [[East Bengal Legislative Assembly]] and [[Pakistan Constituent Assembly]]. However, he returned to India in 1948 and took charge of the Home Minister in the Cabinet of Ministers of [[West Bengal]] led by [[Bidhan Chandra Roy]], who invited him to join his government. As Home Minister Roy banned the Communist Party in West Bengal and swiftly pushed through a West Bengal Security Act which was even more draconian than the one it replace.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Chatterji |first=Joya |title=The Spoils of Partition: Bengal and India, 1947-1967 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2007 |location=Cambridge |pages=224–225}}</ref> He died on 20 February 1949.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40285016|title=A Partition of Contingency?

=== Unnecessary Controversy in station's name===
The station name had been courting unnecessary controversy ever since it was slated to be completed. The construction cost had run to {{INR}} 100 million.<ref name="Hindu_NameGame">{{cite news | last = Swaminathan | first = T. S. Atul | title = It's a name game | newspaper = The Hindu | location = Chennai | date = 7 September 2013 | url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/chen-downtown/its-a-name-game/article5103668.ece | access-date = 8 Sep 2013}}</ref>

The station's name ran into unnecessary controversy in June 2013 when over 80 per cent work was over, since some local non Hindu residents and organisations opposed the naming of the station after the Hindu goddess Mundakakanniamman though there are stations in India like Masjid in Mumbai suburban railway and St.Thomas Mount in Chennai suburban railway. A temple of Goddess Mundakakanniamman is almost in the vicinity of the station, which covers Ganeshapuram and Slatterpuram that have a good number of Christian and Muslim population. The station's name boards were whitewashed by some miscreants, and the inauguration of the station, which was earlier scheduled for 15 May 2013, was deferred by a year. Later the Tamil Nadu government decided to retain the name since the station is located on the very street where the temple is situated, and the station was named " Mundakakanniamman Koil."<ref>{{cite news | title = பறக்கும் ரயில் மார்க்கத்தில் புதிதாக கட்டப்பட்டது முண்டகக்கண்ணியம்மன் கோயில் ரயில் நிலையம் பெயர் அழிப்பு [Newly constructed Mundagakanniamman Koil MRTS station's name board has been whitewashed] | newspaper = Dinakaran | location = Chennai | language = ta | date = 19 June 2013 | url = http://www.dinakaran.com/News_Detail.asp?Nid=52783 | access-date = 22 Jul 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title = Mudagakanniamman MRTS kicks up row | newspaper = Deccan Chronicle | location = Chennai | date = 20 June 2013 | url = http://archives.deccanchronicle.com/130620/news-current-affairs/article/mudagakanniamman-mrts-kicks-row | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140221063358/http://archives.deccanchronicle.com/130620/news-current-affairs/article/mudagakanniamman-mrts-kicks-row | url-status = dead | archive-date = 21 February 2014 | access-date = 15 Feb 2014}}</ref>

==Structure==
The station is an elevated one built on the banks of the [[Buckingham Canal]] like most other MRTS stations. The station building consists of 2,400 sq m of parking area in its basement.<ref name="CMDA_SessionII"/> The design of the station is similar to that of the Thirumailai station.

==Career==
In 1916, Guha applied to be enrolled as a pleader (lawyer) in the [[Alipore]] District Judge's court, but her application was rejected on the grounds that women were not permitted to enrol. Regina challenged this decision at the [[Calcutta High Court]], arguing that the governing legislation, the Legal Practitioners Act, allowed qualified "persons" to enroll as lawyers, and that the definition of 'person' included women.

[[Malleshwaram, Bengaluru|Malleshwaram]] is a northwestern locality in Bengaluru, recognized as one of the city's oldest planned areas. While Malleshwaram was developed on modern lines as a new residential locality in 1898 following a plague epidemic,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumari |first=Krittika |date=2021-06-16 |title=How the Plague Outbreak Led to a New Township in Bengaluru |url=https://map-india.org/how-the-plague-outbreak-led-to-a-new-township-in-bengaluru/ |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=MAP |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dasharathi |first=Poornima |title=The plague that shook Bangalore |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/plague-shook-bangalore-2437241 |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref> historical evidence, including inscriptions and a hero stone, points to a much older history for the area and its surroundings. These artifacts contribute significantly to Bengaluru's rich epigraphic heritage, a city with over [[Inscription stones of Bengaluru|175 documented inscription stones]].

The area yields two significant Kannada inscriptions and is linked to a notable hero stone (''Veeragallu''). A key inscription from 1669 CE records the donation of the village of Medaraninganahalli to the Mallapura Mallikarjuna temple by the Maratha king Ekoji I. Another fragmentary inscription was found at Jakkarayanakere.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Rice |first=B. Lewis |year=1905 |journal=Epigraphia Carnatica|title=Epigraphia Carnatica: Volume IX: Inscriptions in the Bangalore District |publisher=Mysore Government Central Press |volume=9 |pages=80–81}}</ref>

Additionally, a 10th-century [[hero stone]], commemorating a tiger hunt, was discovered on the grounds of the [[Indian Institute of Science]] (IISc), which now occupies the land formerly belonging to Medaraninganahalli.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=The Land on Which We Stand |url=https://connect.iisc.ac.in/2020/03/the-land-on-which-we-stand/ |access-date=2024-10-27 |website=Connect}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=A Veeragallu on IISc campus |url=https://voicesiisc.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/voices_sep09.pdf |publisher=Voices, IISc Newsletter |date=September 2009 |accessdate=27 April 2025}}</ref>
The name "Mallapura," the historical precursor to Malleshwaram, likely originates from the Kannada words ''[https://alar.ink/dictionary/kannada/english/%E0%B2%AE%E0%B2%B2%E0%B3%86 Male]'' or ''Malai'' (hill) and ''[https://alar.ink/dictionary/kannada/english/%E0%B2%AA%E0%B3%81%E0%B2%B0 Pura]'' (town), meaning "town on the hill". Over time, this evolved into Malleshwaram. In early official correspondence, the area is spelled variously by officials and residents as Malleswaram, Mallesvarum, Malleswara, Mallesvaram, and Malleshwarim. This article uses the commonly used spelling today, Malleshwaram.[[File:Digital Image of the Word Malleshwaram (mallapura) Obtained by 3D Scanning of The Malleshwaram 1669 CE Ekoji's Mallapura Mallikarjuna Temple Donation Inscription.jpg|thumb|'''Digital Image of the name mallapura obtained by 3D Scanning of the Malleshwaram 1669 CE Ekoji's Mallapura Mallikarjuna Temple Donation Inscription'''|288x288px]]

}}This inscription provides crucial evidence for the Maratha administration in Bengaluru during the 17th century and confirms the existence of Mallapura (Malleshwaram) at that time.

=== Historical context: Maratha Rule in Bengaluru ===
The Maratha presence in Bengaluru predates [[Vyankoji Bhosale|Ekoji I]]. His father, Shahaji, a prominent Maratha general serving the Bijapur Sultanate, was granted Bengaluru as a ''jagir'' (land grant).<ref>{{cite book |last=Chopra |first=P.N. |title=History of South India (Ancient, Medieval and Modern) Part II: Medieval Period |publisher=S. Chand & Company |year=2003 |isbn=81-219-0153-7 |pages=467–468}}</ref> Shahaji used Bengaluru as his base for many years, and even Chhatrapati [[Shivaji]], the founder of the [[Maratha Empire]], spent some of his early years in the city with his mother, Jijabai.<ref>{{cite book |last=Sastri |first=K.A. Nilakanta |title=A History of South India from Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar
|publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1955 |pages=253–254}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/chhatrapati-shivajis-bengaluru-days/articleshow/57229947.cms |title=Chhatrapati Shivaji's Bengaluru days |website=The Times of India |date=19 February 2017 |access-date=2024-10-26}}</ref> After Shahaji's death in 1664, his jagir was divided between his sons. Shivaji inherited the western portion and consolidated the Maratha territories there, while Ekoji I, also known as Venkoji, inherited the southern jagir, including Bengaluru and Thanjavur.<ref>{{cite book |last=Govind Sakharam |first=Sardesai |title=New History of the Marathas: Shivaji and his line (1600-1707) |publisher=Phoenix Publications |year=1946 |volume=1 |pages=210–212}}</ref> Although they were half-brothers, Ekoji and Shivaji had different mothers and grew up largely in separate spheres of influence. While Shivaji focused on building an independent Maratha kingdom in the western Deccan, Ekoji consolidated his power in the south. Despite their geographical distance and differing political ambitions, they maintained contact and even exchanged letters. However, their relationship was complex and at times marked by rivalry, particularly concerning the division of their father's territories and resources.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sahasa.in/2021/09/17/on-the-history-trail-the-grand-meeting-of-chhatrapati-shivaji-maharaj-and-ekoji-i-vyankoji-bhonsle/ |title=On the history trail: The Grand Meeting of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with Ekoji I (Vyankoji Bhonsle) |website=sahasa.in |date=17 September 2021 |access-date=2024-10-26}}</ref> Although Ekoji eventually established his capital in Thanjavur, Bengaluru remained under Maratha control. This inscription from 1669 CE provides evidence of the Maratha administration and their engagement in the region.

=== The Donation Grant of 1669 CE ===

The [[Kannada]] inscription records the donation of Medaraninganahalli village to the Mallapura Mallikarjuna Temple by [[Ekoji I]]. This grant was made at the request of the ''bĕṃgulura mahanāḍu'' (assembly or people of Bengaluru), providing an early reference to the name "Bengaluru". The inscription effectively functioned as a royal edict, directing tax revenue from Medaraninganahalli to the temple instead of the king's treasury.

The mention of Mallapura Mallikarjuna Temple suggests that the earlier name of Malleshwaram was Mallapura.

=== The ''Shapashaya'' (Imprecatory Verse) ===
Following common practice for grants, the inscription includes a ''Shapashaya'', an imprecatory verse warning against violating the donation's terms. It states that violators, regardless of social class ([[Brahmana]]s, [[Kshatriya]]s, [[Vaishya]]s, [[Shudra]]s), will face severe consequences, likened to the sin of killing a cow in [[Varanasi|Kashi]] (Varanasi), or rebirth as a donkey, crow, or ''Chandala'' (a historically marginalized social group). It also warns Muslims against interference, stating they would incur a sin equivalent to consuming pork in [[Mecca]]. This is noted as the earliest inscription in the Bengaluru region to explicitly mention [[Islam]] and its followers.

=== Physical characteristics of the inscription ===
[[File:Malleshwaram_1669CE_Kannada_Inscription.jpg|thumb|The Malleshwaram 1669 CE Ekoji's Mallapura Mallikarjuna temple donation inscription|600x600px]] The inscription is engraved on a boulder, with the inscribed area measuring approximately 115 cm in height and 392 cm in width. The Kannada characters are approximately 8.3 cm tall, 6.5 cm wide, and 0.45 cm deep. It features symbolic engravings of the sun, moon, and a ''[[Lingam|linga]]'' (an aniconic symbol of the Hindu deity [[Shiva]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Inscription Stones of Bengaluru |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscription_Stones_of_Bengaluru |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=Wikipedia}}</ref> The sun and moon typically signify the grant's intended permanence ("as long as the sun and moon endure<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 April 2018 |title=A hunt for Bengaluru's forgotten inscription stones is tracing the history of Kannada and the city |url=https://scroll.in/magazine/874966/a-hunt-for-bengalurus-forgotten-inscription-stones-is-tracing-the-history-of-kannada-and-the-city |access-date=2024-10-26 |website=Scroll.in}}</ref>"), while the ''linga'' indicates Shaivite religious context or authority.

=== Discovery and dating ===

The inscription was first documented by B. L. Rice in the ''[[Epigraphia Carnatica]]'' Vol. 9, Supplement, published in 1928.<ref name="B. Lewis Rice">{{Cite book |last=B. Lewis Rice |url=http://archive.org/details/epigraphia-carnatica-vol.-9-supplement |title=Epigraphia Carnatica Vol. 9 Supplement}}</ref> The inscription provides its date as "saumya saṃvatsarada mārgaśira śuddha lū," which corresponds to Monday, 25 November 1669 CE.

=== Transliteration and translation ===

The inscription consists of seven lines. The transliteration of the text in [[Kannada script|Kannada]] and [[International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration|IAST]], along with an English translation, is as follows.

=== The lost village of Medaraninganahalli ===
[[File:Bangalore 1854 Pharaoh hires.jpg|thumb|506x506px|An 1854 map of Bangalore showing Medaraningahalli (spelt Maderingenhully) the north-west.]]
The inscription records the donation of the village of Medaraninganahalli. However, this village no longer exists, as its lands were acquired for the construction of the [[Indian Institute of Science]] (IISc) campus.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wikimaps Warper: Viewing Map 1996 |url=https://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/1996#Preview_tab |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=warper.wmflabs.org}}</ref> An 1854 map of Bengaluru indicates that Medaraninganahalli would have spanned the eastern part of the IISc campus, the staff colony of CPRI, and the area beyond New BEL Road into CPRI.

The name "Medaraninganahalli" is derived from three Kannada words:

* "Medara": The name of a caste of bamboo weavers.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=H.v. Nanjundayya |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.264219 |title=The Mysore Tribes And Castes Volume 4 |date=1944}}</ref>
* "Ninga": Likely a personal name.
* "Halli": Meaning "village."

The Medara community is found in various parts of [[Karnataka]], [[Telangana]], and [[Tamil Nadu]], particularly in the [[Shivamogga]] and [[Mysore|Mysuru]] districts. They are skilled artisans who traditionally craft mats, baskets, ladders, and storage containers from bamboo.<ref>{{Citation |title=Bathuku Chitram {{!}} Special story on Medari (Mahendra) community {{!}} V6 News (18-06-2015) | date=17 June 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Kk4dsQZ_Q |access-date=2023-12-17 |language=en}}</ref> They would have gathered bamboo from nearby forests to create these essential items.

The disappearance of Medaraninganahalli serves as a reminder of the constant evolution of landscapes and the impact of urbanization on traditional communities and settlements.

== The Jakkarayanakere inscription ==

Malleshwaram is also home to another inscription, known as the Jakkarayanakere inscription. This undated [[Kannada]] inscription is unfortunately incomplete, making it difficult to deduce its full meaning and context. However, the surviving text suggests it may record a donation or grant.

The inscription mentions "Yalahanka Naad," a historical administrative division corresponding to present-day [[Yelahanka]] in North Bengaluru. This provides valuable geographical context for the inscription.

It was first documented in ''[[Epigraphia Carnatica]]'' Volume 9, where it is noted that the inscription was found in Jakkarayanakere, an area around the Krishna Flour Mill in Sampige Road, Malleshwaram.<ref name="B. Lewis Rice"/> Unfortunately, the current location and physical condition of the inscription are unknown.

=== Transliteration of the Jakkarayanakere inscription ===

The following is a transliteration of the surviving text, as published in ''[[Epigraphia Carnatica]]''.

Despite its incomplete nature, the Jakkarayanakere inscription provides a glimpse into the historical landscape of Malleshwaram and raises intriguing questions about the activities and individuals mentioned in the text. Further research and potentially the rediscovery of the complete inscription could shed more light on this piece of Bengaluru's history.

=== Medaraninganahalli Hero Stone (IISc Campus) ===
[[File:Digital Image of the Tiger Hunting Herostone 02.png|thumb|564x564px|Digital image of the hulibete veeragallu at IISc]]
A significant hero stone (''Viragal'') dating to the 10th century CE was discovered on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in the late 1970s. This location corresponds to the area of the former village of Medaraninganahalli, mentioned in the 1669 CE Ekoji I inscription.<ref name=":1" />

The stone is a ''hulibete veeragallu'', commemorating a hero who died fighting a tiger. Though partially damaged and lacking an inscription, the sculpture depicts the martyr holding a bow, about to shoot an arrow at an attacking tiger. Experts date it to the 10th century, likely during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty over the Bengaluru region.

This hero stone is one of only three known ''hulibete'' (tiger hunt) stones found in Bengaluru, providing valuable evidence of the region's historical fauna and the societal practice of honouring acts of valor, particularly against dangerous wildlife. The presence of such stones highlights the dangers faced by inhabitants and the courage esteemed by the community.

== Significance of Malleshwaram's Historical Artifacts ==

The Malleshwaram inscriptions, particularly the 1669 CE inscription of Ekoji I, hold significant historical and cultural value for understanding the development of Malleshwaram and the broader context of Bengaluru's past. These inscriptions provide valuable insights into:

* '''Early History of Malleshwaram:''' The inscriptions confirm the existence of Malleshwaram, then known as Mallapura, as early as the 17th century. They offer a glimpse into the social, religious, and administrative practices of the time.
* '''Maratha Presence in Bengaluru:''' The Ekoji I inscription provides concrete evidence of the Maratha administration and their influence in Bengaluru during the 17th century. It highlights their engagement in local governance, religious patronage, and land grants.
* '''Religious and Cultural Practices:''' The inscriptions shed light on the religious landscape of the period, showcasing the coexistence of different faiths and the importance of temple donations and land grants in supporting religious institutions. The symbolic engravings of the sun, moon, and linga offer insights into cultural and religious beliefs.
* '''Linguistic Evolution:''' The inscription's use of the Kannada language and script provides valuable data for understanding the evolution of the language and its use in official records.
* '''Urban Development:''' The disappearance of Medaraninganahalli, the village mentioned in the Ekoji I inscription, highlights the impact of urbanization and the changing landscape of Bengaluru over time.

The Malleshwaram inscriptions, along with other inscription stones found in Bengaluru, serve as crucial historical records that contribute to a deeper understanding of the city's rich and complex past. They offer a tangible link to previousd eras, allowing us to trace the evolution of the region and appreciate the continuity of cultural and social practices across centuries.

”The national broadcaster had a limit on the number of episodes it could air in the ’80s, but the ’90s brought about a change in these rules. A producer could now make a show for a longer duration.”, commented Kavita Awasthi in ''[[Hindustan Times|The Hindustan Times]]''.<ref name=":3" />

==Playing style==
Arshdeep has received praise from former India cricketers [[Sunil Gavaskar]] and [[Sachin Tendulkar]]. Tendulkar commended Arshdeep for being balanced, committed, and having the right mindset for T20 cricket. He stated, ''"What I really like is that if Arshdeep has a plan, he commits to it and that is really, really important in this format as batters are going out and playing those extra shots and some innovative ones. So if you have a plan, commit to it."''<ref>{{cite web |title='What I really like is...': Sachin Tendulkar drops ultimate praise on rising India star ahead of IND-PAK clash at T20 WC |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sachin-tendulkar-drops-ultimate-praise-on-arshdeep-singh-rising-india-star-ahead-of-ind-pak-clash-at-t20-world-cup-what-i-really-like-is-101666064487520.html |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=8 November 2022 |access-date=17 April 2025}}</ref>

Gavaskar praised Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball and his temperament, comparing him to [[Jasprit Bumrah]], and said, ''"I do believe that he, like Bumrah, can be a very, very good bowler in red-ball cricket as well. Because if he can move the white ball so well, just imagine what he can do with the red ball. So I think the selection committee would do very well to look at him as an option for the red-ball game as well."''<ref>{{cite web |title=Arshdeep Singh is like Jasprit Bumrah: Sunil Gavaskar backs pacer to play Tests soon |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/arshdeep-singh-is-like-jasprit-bumrah-sunil-gavaskar-backs-india-pacer-to-excel-in-red-ball-cricket-article-110976216 |website=Times Now News |date=13 June 2024 |access-date=17 April 2025}}</ref>

Arshdeep has earned recognition from fellow fast bowlers, including [[Kagiso Rabada]], [[Lockie Ferguson]], and [[Marco Jansen]], as well. Rabada described him as the best death bowler in the IPL when they played together in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |title=Arshdeep Singh is best death bowler in IPL: Kagiso Rabada's praise after CSK vs PBKS match |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/arshdeep-singh-is-best-death-bowler-in-ipl-kagiso-rabada-s-massive-praise-for-indian-pacer-after-csk-vs-pbks-match-101650949585421.html |website=Hindustan Times |publisher=HT Media Ltd |access-date=21 February 2026 |url-status=live}}</ref> Ferguson said, “I'm in awe of Arshdeep, really.

He's hungry for the ball.”<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL 2025: Lockie Ferguson reacts to saliva ban lifting |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/ipl-2025-lockie-ferguson-saliva-ban-lifting-2705581-2025-04-08 |website=India Today |publisher=Living Media India Limited |date=8 April 2025 |access-date=21 February 2026 |url-status=live}}</ref> Jansen, who has also been Arshdeep’s new-ball partner at Punjab Kings, remarked, “I really enjoyed working with him. I didn't expect him to be so open about sharing local knowledge—how wickets behave, what the ball does—but his inputs were very, very helpful.”<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL 2025: Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh star in Qualifier 1 PBKS vs RCB |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/ipl-2025-marco-jansen-arshdeep-singh-qualifier-1-pbks-vs-rcb-2732222-2025-05-29 |website=India Today |publisher=Living Media India Limited |date=29 May 2025 |access-date=21 February 2026 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Arshdeep has credited yoga and meditation with helping him stay calm and maintain mental clarity in high-pressure situations. He has expressed appreciation for all the guidance and support he has received from captain [[Rohit Sharma]], former coach [[Rahul Dravid]], and fellow fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He has spoken very favourably about his early coaching under Jaswant Rai, as well as his association with former Punjab Kings bowling coach [[Damien Wright]].<ref>{{cite news |author= |title=How Arshdeep Singh yorked his way into the Indian team |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/how-arshdeep-singh-yorked-his-way-into-the-indian-team/articleshow/91764688.cms |work=The Times of India |date=May 24, 2022 |access-date=April 20, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Sportstar |title=Arshdeep Singh interview: 'Dravid, Bumrah, Rohit have been guiding lights' |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/arshdeep-singh-interview-t20-world-cup-2024-india-cricket-news-dravid-bumrah-rohit/article68392355.ece |work=Sportstar |publisher=The Hindu |date=28 February 2024 |access-date=20 April 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title='Thank you for everything, coach saab': Arshdeep Singh's post for Rahul Dravid goes viral |url=https://www.msn.com/en-in/sports/cricket/thank-you-for-everything-coach-saab-arshdeep-singh-s-post-for-rahul-dravid-goes-viral/ar-BB1pkCTY |work=MSN |date=18 January 2024 |access-date=20 April 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Punjab Kings snap up former Hurricanes coach Damien Wright |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-15/punjab-kings-xi-snap-up-former-hurricanes-coach-damien-wright/13248128 |work=ABC News (Australia) |date=15 March 2021 |access-date=20 April 2025}}</ref>

Following independence in 1947, Rampur State acceded to [[History of India (1947-present)|India]]. It was merged into the [[United Provinces (1937–50)|United Provinces]],{{cn|date=June 2020}} which would later become [[Uttar Pradesh]].

==Origin==
The Rampur State was established by [[Nawab Faizullah Khan]] on 7 October 1774, in the presence of British Commander Colonel Champion, and remained a pliant state under British protection thereafter. Faizullah Khan was a leader among the [[Rohillas]] and a member of the [[Rohilla dynasty]]. He was the son of [[Ali Mohammed Khan]], founder of the [[Kingdom of Rohilkhand]]— a [[Jat Muslim|Jat]] by origin who was adopted and converted by Sardar Daud Khan [[Barech]].<ref name="Irvine 1971 p.118">{{cite book |last=Irvine |first=W. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ak5oFjTys8MC |title=Later Mughal |publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Distri |year=1971 |page=118 |quote=Once Daud was sent against the village of Bankauli, in pargana Chaumahla, with which his employer was at feud.

For the [[Rohillas]], Rampur State was one of the most important princely states in Hindustan.{{cn|date=July 2025}}

In the 19th century, the [[Nawabs of Rampur]] claimed that Ali Mohammed Khan was a [[Barha dynasty|Barha Sayyid]] and started using the title of Sayyid. However, they could not present any [[pedigree chart|pedigree]] in the support of this claim.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Gommans |first=Jos J.

== History==
The [[First Rohilla War]] began when the [[Rohilla]]s reneged on a debt they owed to the [[Nawab of Oudh]] for military assistance against the [[Maratha Empire]] in 1772. The Rohillas were defeated and driven from their former capital of [[Bareilly]] by the Nawab of [[Oudh]] with the assistance of the [[British East India Company|East India Company]]'s troops lent by [[Warren Hastings]].<ref name=EB1911>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Rampur |volume=22 |page=877}}</ref>

The first stone of the new Fort at Rampur was laid and the city of [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]] founded in 1775 by Nawab Faizullah Khan. Originally it was a group of four villages named Kather, the name of Raja Ram Singh. The first Nawab proposed to rename the city 'Faizabad'. But many other places were known by the name Faizabad so its name was changed to Mustafabad alias Rampur. Nawab Faizullah Khan ruled for 20 years. He was a great patron of scholarship, and began the collection of [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Turkic language|Turkish]] and [[Urdu language|Urdu]] manuscripts which now make up the bulk of the [[Rampur Raza Library]]. After his death, his son Muhammad Ali Khan took over. He was killed by the [[Rohilla]] leaders after 24 days, and Ghulam Muhammad Khan – the brother of the deceased, was proclaimed Nawab. The East India Company took exception to this, and after a reign of just 3 months and 22 days Ghulam Muhammad Khan was defeated by its forces, and the Governor-General made Ahmad Ali Khan, son of the late Muhammad Ali Khan, the new Nawab. He ruled for 44 years. He did not have any sons, so Muhammad Sa'id Khan, son of Ghulam Muhammad Khan, took over as the new Nawab. He raised a regular Army, established Courts and carried out many works to improve the economic conditions of farmers. His son Muhammad Yusuf Ali Khan took over after his death. His son Kalb Ali Khan became the new Nawab after his death in 1865.

[[Nawab]] [[Kalb Ali Khan of Rampur|Kalb Ali Khan]] was literate in Arabic and Persian. Under his rule the state did much work to uplift standards of education. He was also a Member of Council during the Viceroyalty of Lord [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|John Lawrence]]. He built the Jama Masjid in Rampur at a cost of Rs. 300,000. He was also knighted in Agra by the Prince of Wales. He ruled for 22 years and 7 months. After his death his son Mushtaq Ali Khan took over. He appointed W. C. Wright as the Chief Engineer of the estate. He built many new buildings and canals. Nawab Hamid Ali became the new ruler in 1889 at the age of 14. Many new schools were opened during his reign, and many donations were provided to nearby colleges. He donated Rs. 50,000 to Lucknow Medical College. In 1905 he built the magnificent [[Durbar (court)|Darbar]] Hall within the Fort which now houses the great collection of Oriental manuscripts held by the Rampur Raza Library. His son Raza Ali Khan became the last ruling Nawab in 1930. Nawab Raza Ali Khan was a very progressive ruler who believed in the Inclusion of Hindus and so appointed Lt. Col. Horilal Varma – Bar At Law as his Prime Minister. On 1 July 1949 the State of Rampur was merged into the Republic of India. Rampur today presents a slightly decayed appearance: the palaces of the Nawabs are crumbling, as are the gates and walls of the fort. However, the Library remains a flourishing institution of immense value to scholars from all over the world.

The Nawabs of Rampur sided with the British during [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]]<ref name=EB1911/> and this enabled them to continue to play a role in the social, political and cultural life of Northern India in general and the Muslims of United Provinces in particular. They gave refuge to some of the literary figures from the Court of [[Bahadur Shah II|Bahadur Shah ''Zafar'']].

===Music===
{{see also|Rampur-Sahaswan gharana}}

The [[Rampur-Sahaswan gharana]] of Hindustani classical music also has its origins in court musicians. Ustad Mehboob Khan, was a [[khayal]] singer and Veena player of the Rampur court; his son Ustad [[Inayat Hussain Khan]] (1849–1919), who trained and lived in the city, founded the gharana.

The Nawabs of Rampur gave patronage to traditional music in their court. Mehboob Khan was the chief [[khyal]] singer of the royal court of Rampur State, his tradition was followed by his son [[Inayat Hussain Khan]] (1849–1919) and in turn by Inyat's brothers-in-law, Haider Khan (1857–1927), and Mushtaq Hussein Khan (d. 1964), which gave rise to the [[Rampur-Sahaswan gharana]] of [[Hindustani classical music]], the latter being their ancestral place, [[Sahaswan]], in present-day [[Badaun district]].<ref>[[#Wa|Wade. p. 136]]</ref>

[[File:Front_view_of_Rampur_Raza_Library.jpg|thumb|Front facade of the Raza Library]]
Nawab [[Faizullah Khan]], the first Nawab of Rampur, established the [[Rampur Raza Library]] from his personal collection of manuscripts and miniature specimens of Islamic calligraphy in 1774. The succeeding Nawabs continued to be patrons of scholars, poets, painters, calligraphers and musicians, enabling the library to grow rapidly. The [[Indian government]] would take over the library in 1975.<ref>{{cite report |author=[[Ministry of Culture (India)]] |date=2022 |title=Annual Report 2021-22 |url=https://www.indiaculture.nic.in/sites/default/files/Mou%20Library/Rampur%20Raza%20Library0001.pdf |publisher=[[Government of India]] |page=229 |quote="The world fame Rampur Raza Library was founded by Nawab Faizullah Khan in 1774.

{{main|Rampur Hound}}
[[File:Rampur Greyhound from 1915.JPG|thumb|A palace attendant with a Rampur Hound in 1915]]
Nawab [[Ahmad Ali Khan of Rampur]] is credited with developing the [[dog breed]] known as the [[Rampur Hound]]. The Rampur Hound is the result of cross-breeding the ''Sag-e Tazi'' [[Afghan Hound]] with the [[English Greyhound]]. He named the dogs after his capital.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://rareindianbreeddogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/rampur-hound.html |title=Rampur Hound |access-date=7 September 2015 |archive-date=14 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114061732/http://rareindianbreeddogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/rampur-hound.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Cuisine===
The cuisine of the royal courts over the years gave rise to the [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh#Cuisine|Rampuri cuisine]], developed by the chefs of the Nawabs. After the [[Indian Mutiny of 1857]], the ''khansamas'' (chefs) from erstwhile Mughal imperial courts shifted to Rampur, bringing along with them the [[Mughal cuisine]] tradition.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kebabs, kings and other Rampuri tales |url=http://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2013/mar/260313-mumbai-guide-kebabs-kings-and-other-rampuri-tales.htm |publisher=MiD DAY |date=26 March 2013 |access-date=29 May 2013 |archive-date=11 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220711104835/https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2013/mar/260313-mumbai-guide-kebabs-kings-and-other-rampuri-tales.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Gradually people from other places also found a haven here, adding influences of [[Awadhi cuisine|Awadhi]], [[Hyderabadi cuisine|Hyderabad]] and [[Kashmiri cuisine]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Rampuri flavour: The Rampuri food festival at Mascot Hotel takes you on a voyage of discovery |url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2004/08/30/stories/2004083002180300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041222035301/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2004/08/30/stories/2004083002180300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 December 2004 |date= 30 August 2004 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=29 May 2013}}</ref> It is also known for its distinct flavours and dishes with recipes passed on from the royal kitchen, like ''Rampuri fish'', ''Rampuri [[Korma]]'', ''Rampuri mutton [[kebab]]s'', ''Doodhiya [[Biryani]]'' and ''adrak ka [[Halva|halwa]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.livemint.com/2010/01/22203755/The-culinary-cartographer.html|title=The culinary cartographer|date=22 January 2010|work=Mint|archive-date=16 January 2012|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120116071653/http://www.livemint.com/2010/01/22203755/The-culinary-cartographer.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=270513|title=Sharp cuts from the Rampuri !|date=7 January 2007|work=Business Standard|archive-date=4 October 2012|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004185305/http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=270513|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/77009/|title=Mutton Korma in Rampur|date=28 August 2005|work=Indian Express|archive-date=11 January 2011|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110111152159/http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/77009|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
Sanjith Sidhardhan of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 2/5 and said, "Balachandra Menon's comeback movie follows a familiar plot that is riddled with cliches." He concluded the review saying, "Films with familiar themes had tasted success in recent times thanks to the way they were presented and that's where Njan Samvidhanam Cheyyum falls short. The frames are lifeless and sometimes repetitive. The movie could have been a bit crisper and less tedious with some tight editing."<ref>Sanjith Sidhardhan (20 September 2015). [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/Njan-Samvidhanam-Cheyyum/movie-review/49033901.cms "Njan Samvidhanam Cheyyum Movie Review"]. ''[[The Times of India]]''. Retrieved 20 September 2015.</ref> [[Sify.com]] wrote that the film is a torture asking "How can someone (the producer) spend so much money for this kind of stupidity? <ref>{{cite web|title=Njan Samvidhanam Cheyyum Review|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/njan-samvidhanam-cheyyum-review-malayalam-pjwiVWgfjgdei.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016081741/http://www.sify.com/movies/njan-samvidhanam-cheyyum-review-malayalam-pjwiVWgfjgdei.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 October 2015|website=[[Sify]]|accessdate=21 September 2016}}</ref>

==National Steel Policy==
The National Steel Policy of 2005 has the long-term goal of establishing a modern and efficient steel industry of world standards in India. The focus is to achieve global competitiveness not only in terms of cost, quality, and product mix but also in terms of global benchmarks of efficiency and productivity. The policy aims to achieve over 100 million metric tonnes of steel per year by 2019-20 from the 2004-05 level of 38 mt. This implies annual growth of around 7.3% per year from 2004 to 2005 onward.

The strategic goal above is justified because steel consumption in the world, around 1000 million metric tonnes in 2004, is expected to grow at 3.0% per annum to reach 1,395 million metric tonnes in 2015, compared to 2% per annum in the past fifteen years. China will continue to have a dominant share of the demand for world steel. Domestically, the growth rate of steel production over the past fifteen years was 7.0% per annum. The projected rate of 7.3% per annum in India compares well with the projected national income growth rate of 7-8% per annum, given an income elasticity of steel consumption of around 1.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://steel.gov.in/nspolicy2005.pdf |title=National Steel Policy 2005 |website=Steel.gov.in |access-date=2016-01-07 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304053933/http://steel.gov.in/nspolicy2005.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
The National Steel Policy was revised in 2017 with new targets and goals.

==Steel prices==
Price regulation of iron and steel was abolished on 16 January 1992.<ref>{{Cite web|title = An Overview of the steel sector - Ministry of Steel, Government of India|url = http://steel.gov.in/overview.htm|website = steel.gov.in|access-date = 2016-01-15|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160107003258/http://www.steel.gov.in/overview.htm|archive-date = 7 January 2016|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Early years ===
Recent excavations in the [[Ganges|Middle Ganges Valley]] conducted by archaeologist Rakesh Reddy with the advice of wife Aditi Venugopal show iron working in India may have begun as early as 1800 [[Common Era|BCE]].<ref name=":0">Rakesh and Aditi (2003)</ref> In fact, the practice of manufacturing practical [[metal]]s first began in India.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://0-web.b.ebscohost.com.library.unl.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=c5a28d7f-64cf-4daa-9885-76346ad5e11d%40sessionmgr102&vid=4&hid=128|title=Boom in India's iron and steel industry|last=Radhakrishna|first=B. P.|date=2007}}</ref> Archaeological sites in India, such as Malhar, Dadupur, Raja Nala Ka Tila, and Lahuradewa in the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]] show iron implements in the period between 1800—1200 BCE.<ref name=":0" /> Sahi (1979: 366) concluded that by the early 13th century BCE, iron smelting was practiced on a larger scale in India, suggesting that the date the technology's early period may well be placed as early as the 16th century BCE.<ref name=":0" />

Some of the early iron objects found in India are dated to 1400 BCE by employing [[radiocarbon dating]].<ref name=":1">Cecarelli, 218</ref> Spikes, knives, daggers, arrowheads, bowls, spoons, saucepans, axes, chisels, tongs, door fittings, etc., ranging from 600 BCE—200 BCE have been discovered at several archaeological sites.<ref name=":1" /> In southern India (present-day Mysore), iron appeared as early as the 12th or 11th century BCE. These developments were too early for any significant close contact with the northwest of the country.<ref name=":1" />

The beginning of the 1st millennium BCE saw extensive developments in iron [[metallurgy]] in India.<ref name=":2">Drakonoff, 372</ref> Technological advancement and mastery of iron metallurgy were achieved during this period of peaceful settlements. The years between 322 and 185 BCE saw several advancements made to the technology involved in metallurgy during the politically stable [[Maurya Empire|Maurya period]] (322—185 BCE). Greek historian [[Herodotus]] (431—425 BCE) wrote the first Western account of the use of iron in India.<ref name=":2" />

Perhaps as early as 300 BCE — although certainly by 200 CE — high-quality steel was being produced in southern India by what Europeans would later call the [[Crucible steel|crucible technique]].<ref name=":3">Juleff, 1996</ref> Using this system, high-purity [[wrought iron]], [[charcoal]], and glass were mixed in a crucible and heated until the iron melted and absorbed the carbon.<ref name=":3" /> The first crucible steel was the [[wootz steel]] that originated in India before the beginning of the common era.<ref>Srinivasan & Ranganathan</ref> Wootz steel was widely exported and traded throughout ancient Europe, China, and the Arab world, and became particularly famous in the Middle East, where it became known as Damascus steel. Archaeological evidence suggests that this manufacturing process was already in existence in South India well before the Christian era.<ref>Srinivasan 1994</ref><ref>Srinivasan & Griffiths</ref>

=== Medieval years ===
The world's first iron pillar was the [[Iron Pillar of Delhi]] erected during the time of [[Chandragupta II|Chandragupta Vikramaditya]] (375–413 CE).<ref>Balasubramaniam, R.

</ref> Indian Blades made of Damascus steel found their way into Persia.<ref>Prasad, Chapter IX</ref> During the 14th century, European scholars studied Indian casting and metallurgy technology.<ref>Mondal 2-3</ref>

Indian metallurgy under the Mughal emperor [[Akbar]] (reign: 1556–1605) produced excellent small firearms.<ref>Gommans, 154</ref> [[Jos Gommans]] (2002) holds that Mughal handguns were stronger and more accurate than their European counterparts.<ref>Gommans, 155</ref>

In 1667, it is estimated that 5 tons of steel and 25 tons of ironware were exported from India.<ref name=nic>{{cite web |last1=Biswas |first1=A.K. |title=Iron and steel in pre-modern India - Page 580 |url=https://www.insa.nic.in/writereaddata/UpLoadedFiles/IJHS/Vol29_4_5_AKBiswas.pdf |publisher=Indian Journal of History of Science |access-date=13 January 2020 |archive-date=24 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200824164906/https://insa.nic.in/writereaddata/UpLoadedFiles/IJHS/Vol29_4_5_AKBiswas.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> While the Dutch are reported to have exported 46 tonnes of Wootz steel during the 17th century.<ref name=nic />

==== Native arms production ====
In ''The New Cambridge History of India: Science, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India'', scholar David Arnold examines the effect of the British Raj in Indian mining and metallurgy:<ref name=" Arnold 100-101">Arnold 100-101</ref><blockquote>With the partial exception of coal, foreign competition, aided by the absence of tariff barriers and lack of technological innovation, held back the development of mining and metal-working technology in India until the early 20th century. The relatively crude, labour-intensive nature of surviving mining techniques contributed to the false impression that India was poorly endowed with mineral resources or that they were inaccessible or otherwise difficult and unremunerative to work. But the fate of mining and metallurgy was affected by political as well as by economic and technological considerations.</blockquote>

The British were aware of the historical role metal-working had played in supporting indigenous powers through the production of arms and ammunition. This resulted in the introduction of the Arms Act in 1878, which restricted access to firearms. They also sought to limit India's ability to mine and work metals for use in future wars and rebellions in areas like metal-rich Rajasthan. India's skill in casting brass cannon had made Indian artillery a formidable adversary from the reign of Akbar to the Maratha and Sikh wars 300 years later. By the early 19th century, most of the mines in Rajasthan were abandoned and the mining caste was ‘extinct’.<ref name="Arnold 100-101"/>

During the Company period, military opponents were eliminated and princely states extinguished, and the capacity to mine and work metals declined, largely due to British tariffs. As late as the Rebellion of 1857, the British closed mines because the mining of lead for ammunition at Ajmer was perceived as a threat.<ref name="Arnold 100-101"/>

===The Modern era===
Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], a believer in [[Harold Laski|Harold Laski's]] [[Fabian socialism]], decided that the technological revolution in India needed maximisation of steel production. He, therefore, formed a government-owned company, Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL), and set up three steel plants in the 1950s.<ref>Sankar Ghose (1993). ''Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography''. Allied Publishers. p. 550.</ref>
In early 21st century [[Kalinganagar]] and [[Bokaro Steel City|Bokaro]] both emerged as the leading steel hub with multiple steel factories due to their ideal location with coal mines and other mineral deposits nearby, as the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]] is rich in mineral deposits.

The NDA Government, headed by Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]], is bullish on increasing India's steel production capacity and reducing the country's reliance on steel imports.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Law |first=Abhishek |date=2024-04-14 |title=India looks to rehaul its steel import reporting mechanism |url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/india-looks-to-rehaul-its-steel-import-reporting-mechanism/article68061548.ece |access-date=2024-07-19 |website=BusinessLine |language=en}}</ref> All eyes are on the [[Gadchiroli]] iron ore reserves to achieve this. Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India 2024, [[Nitin Gadkari]], spoke about how the region might emerge as the next steel city of India. This is an extension of the [[Maharashtra]] Government's push for Gadchiroli as the next investment destination.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-16 |title=In Maharashtra, 19 mining bids called, 50% in forests |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/in-maharashtra-19-mining-bids-called-50-in-forests/articleshow/97964742.cms |access-date=2024-07-19 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

While mineral reserves in the region have been known, community conflict in the region has kept industrial activity at bay. But in 2022, Lloyd's Metal and Energy Limited, in a strategic partnership with Thriveni Earthmovers, were able to start mining operations in the region. This successful effort was led by Mr. B. Prabhakaran, managing director of the [https://thriveni.com/ Thriveni group]. [https://lloyds.in Lloyds Metal & Energy] is expanding its Ghugus steel plant from 270 MTA to 1.2 MPTA Integrated steel facility.

Over the last few years, 19 more blocks have been opened up and bids invited for the lease.

The thermo-mechanical treatment of reinforced steel was one such innovation that catapulted the Indian TMT industry into modernisation. First introduced in 1979 with [[Bureau of Indian Standards|IS]] 1785:1979, these TMT bars came with Grade Fe 415, Fe 500. In 1985, a higher grade of these bars – FE 500 ([[Bureau of Indian Standards|IS]] 1786:1985) was introduced in the market, and since then, the demand for TMT bars has only risen in the Indian construction industry. 2008 saw the introduction of Fe 600 grade tMT bars conforming to [[Bureau of Indian Standards|IS]] 1786:2008.

Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) technology is a state-of-the-art method for producing construction-grade steel, with iron ore as the raw material.

On two occasions, he acted temporarily as [[Governor of Gujarat]] (7 December 1967 to 25 December 1967 and 17 March 1973 to 3 April 1973).<ref name=Gov>{{cite web|title=Information about the tenure of the Governors of Gujarat|url=http://www.rajbhavan.gujarat.gov.in/uniquepage.asp?id_pk=28|publisher=[[Raj Bhavan (Gujarat)]] (Govt. of Gujarat)|access-date=16 May 2012|archive-date=13 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111213114316/http://www.rajbhavan.gujarat.gov.in/uniquepage.asp?id_pk=28|url-status=dead}}</ref> In July 1973, he was appointed a Judge of the [[Supreme Court of India]]. In August 1985, he became Chief Justice of India. Over the course of his Supreme Court tenure, Bhagwati authored 342 judgments and sat on 820 benches.<ref>{{Cite web |title=P. N. Bhagwati |url=https://www.scobserver.in/judges/p-n-bhagwati/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=Supreme Court Observer |language=en-US}}</ref>

As a supreme court judge, Bhagwati introduced the concepts of [[public interest litigation]] and [[absolute liability]] to the Indian judicial system. He is therefore held, along with Justice [[V. R. Krishna Iyer]], to have pioneered [[judicial activism]] in the country.<ref name="P.N.

Chief Justice Bhagwati had an expansive view of the judicial role, saying in an interview that "I practically rewrote Part III and Part IV of the Constitution. I moulded the law. I still remember those days. It was a thrilling experience."<ref>{{Citation |title=Justice P.N. Bhagwati - Interview with myLaw.net | date=9 November 2012 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AdgzBgNki8 |language=en |access-date=2023-02-15}}</ref>

In 2007 Bhagwati was awarded the [[Padma Vibhushan]] in public affairs, India's second highest civilian award.<ref>{{cite web|title=Padma Awards Directory (1954-2007)|url=http://www.mha.nic.in/pdfs/PadmaAwards1954-2007.pdf|publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs|access-date=7 December 2010}}</ref>

== Judgements ==
===''Habeas corpus'' case controversy===
A controversial judgement of Bhagwati was in the ''[[ADM Jabalpur v. Shivkant Shukla]]'' case (popularly referred to as the ''ADM Jabalpur case'' or the ''[[habeas corpus]]'' case) where he decreed that during [[The Emergency (India)|the Emergency]] of 1975 to 1977, a person's right to not be unlawfully detained (i.e. ''habeas corpus'') can be suspended. This judgement received a lot of criticism since it reduced the importance attached to [[Fundamental rights in India|Fundamental Rights]] under the [[Indian Constitution]]. Going against the previous decision of High Courts, the bench which included Bhagwati concluded in favour of the [[Second Indira Gandhi ministry|then Indira Gandhi government]] while only Justice [[Hans Raj Khanna]] was opposed to it. Bhagwati openly praised Indira Gandhi during the Emergency period, later criticized her when [[Premiership of Morarji Desai|Janata Party-led government]] was formed, and again backed Gandhi when she got re-elected to form [[Third Indira Gandhi ministry|government in 1980]]. Bhagwati was criticized for these change of stands, favouring the ruling government, which were deemed as to have been taken to better his career prospects.<ref name="Sorry"/> Bhagwati later in 2011 agreed with popular opinion that this judgement was short-sighted and "apologised".<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview with Justice Bhagwati (2011)|url=http://mylaw.net/Article/The_darkest_hour_of_Indian_history/|work=Video on www.myLaw.net|access-date=19 September 2011|archive-date=22 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322202856/http://www.mylaw.net/Article/The_darkest_hour_of_Indian_history/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Sorry">{{cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/politics/a-chief-justice-of-india-says-i-am-sorry-but-thirty-years-too-late-85799.html |title=A Chief Justice of India says "I am sorry" but 30 years too late |work=First Post |date= 16 September 2011 |first1=Shanmugham D |last1=Jayan |first2=Raghul |last2=Sudheesh |access-date=16 June 2017}}</ref>

=== ''Maneka Gandhi vs Union of India'' ===
[[Maneka Gandhi]] was requested, through an official letter from the Regional Passport Officer, Delhi on 2 July 1977 to return her passport within seven days "in public interest" under section 10(3) of [[The Passports Act]] (1967). Gandhi, who had been issued Indian passport on 1 June 1976, in return asked the office to give a statement of reason in accordance with section 10(5) to which the office replied that "in the interest of general public" the Government had decided to not furnish any such statement further. Under [[Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India#Right to Freedom|Article 21]] of the [[Indian Constitution]], which deals with Right to Freedom, Gandhi filed a writ petition in which Bhagwati and Justice [[V. R. Krishna Iyer]] ruled in favour of Gandhi.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CP03p-LiDCAC&pg=PA190 |page=190 |title= V.R.

==Development==
Initially, the director [[Sooraj Barjatya]] wanted to rope in [[Ravindra Jain]] or any of the conventional music composers. However [[Salman Khan]] recommended [[Himesh Reshammiya]] to Barjatya to compose songs for the film as he believed that both Reshammiya and Barjatya would bond on their similar style of working.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Raj |first1=Jem |title=When Salman Khan recommended Himesh Reshammiya for the music of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo |url=https://bollyspice.com/when-salman-khan-recommended-himesh-reshammiya-for-the-music-of-prem-ratan-dhan-payo/ |access-date=25 July 2025 |work=BollySpice.com - The latest movies, interviews in Bollywood |date=16 November 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Himesh Reshammiya: Salman bhai has been the backbone of my success |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/himesh-reshammiya-salman-bhai-has-been-the-backbone-of-my-success/articleshow/49935820.cms |access-date=25 July 2025 |work=The Times of India |date=25 December 2015}}</ref>

{{Quote|''"Sooraj was very particular about the kind of music he wanted for the film. The prerequisite was to find a composer who has the patience to create an elaborate album like PRDP. His and Himesh’s sensibilities matched as they both like to take time on each song and work on its detailing. Sooraj’s only brief to Himesh was to avoid any kind of electronic music. He wanted old-world music and humble songs."''<ref name="PRDP">{{cite news |title=How Sooraj Barjatya and Himesh Reshammiya hit it off while making music for 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/how-sooraj-barjatya-and-himesh-reshammiya-hit-it-off-while-making-music-for-prem-ratan-dhan-payo/articleshow/49596740.cms |access-date=25 July 2025 |work=The Times of India |date=31 October 2015}}</ref>|Salman Khan}}

Once all the songs were finalised, Barjatya was also present for the final recordings of even chorus singers as he wanted the chorus singers’ rendition to be in sync with the junior artistes.<ref name="PRDP"/>

'''Roy Villa''' is a four storied building situated at Lebong [[Cart Road]], [[Darjeeling]], [[West Bengal]]. The building holds a special significance in being the Death place of [[Sister Nivedita]], the disciple of [[Swami Vivekananda]] who died on 13 October 1911.<ref name=rkmdarjeeling>{{cite web|title=History of Roy Villa|url=http://www.rkmdarjeeling.org/history.html|website=Ramakrishna Mission Nivedita Educational And Cultural Centre|accessdate=26 April 2015}}</ref>

== History of Roy Villa ==
[[File:Roy Villa Old.jpg|thumb|Roy Villa before Restoration]]
[[File:Darjeeling View from Roy Villa.jpg|thumb|Darjeeling view from Roy Villa]]
This European castle-like structure is around 115 years old and is named after its original owner, Dwarakanath Roy. He was the brother of Mr. P. K. Roy, the first ever Principal of the [[Presidency University, Kolkata|Presidency College]]. Famous scientist & botanist Acharya [[Jagadish Chandra Bose]] rented this premises from his friend, Dwarakanath Roy due to its weather and ambience in summer. Later, when Sister Nivedita’s health was deteriorating, he & Lady Abala Bose invited Sister Nivedita to stay in this house. Sister Nivedita liked this place due to the soothing weather and started to live discreetly with them. Apart from Mr. & Mrs. Bose, famous Doctor Nil Ratan Sarkar and scientist [[Basiswar Sen]] were also present in the Roy Villa when Sister Nivedita died in 1911.
From 1903 to 1911, Sister Nivedita stayed at Darjeeling for around 242 days in 7 different visits.

== Later Stage ==
For several years, Roy Villa was abandoned until The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute took the place as its starting operation in 1954 when it was inaugurated by the then prime minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru]]. Initially there were 20 students who were taught in the Roy Villa but once the number of students increased, The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute shifted its base to the Western Spur of Birch Hill on 25 December 1957. For several years, Roy Villa was under the Youth Services Department of Govt. of West Bengal and then to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) before it was finally handed over to the Ramakrishna Mission.

== New Life of Roy Villa ==
After a series of discussion between GTA & State Government with the presence of Association for Conservation and Tourism, the Siliguri-based NGO who proposed to make Roy Villa a heritage site and Ramakrishna Mission, it has been decided that Roy Villa will be handed over. Mamata Banerjee handed over the Roy Villa to the Ramakrishna Mission in presence of Swami Suhitanandaji, General Secretary of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math on 16 May 2013. Finally, the key of the Roy Villa was handed over to Secretary of Ramakrishna Mission Nivedita Educational and Cultural Centre, a branch centre of Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math on 10 July 2013, the auspicious day of Ratha Jatra by Sri Gautam Deb, Minister In - charge of North Bengal Development Department. State Government has sanctioned Rs. 1 crore for its restoration and its Information & Cultural Department will look after the heritage building.

== Present Status ==
Newly revamped & restored Roy Villa is now under the control of Ramakrishna Mission, and they have taken a series of projects to run from this premises. Her picture, old writing desk, chair, table lamp stand, wall clock, typewriter, the old styled electric wiring are there to remember her presence always.

[[File:Nivedita.jpg|thumb|Renovated Sister Nivedita Room in Roy Villa]]

Apart from this, Nivedita Educational & Cultural Center has some more plans to execute:

:* Free Computer Training Centre
:* Free coaching center for joint entrance examinees and IAS / IPS aspirants
:* Skill Development Centre for empowering women
:* School of Languages
:*Exhibition on the life of Sister Nivedita
:*Gadadhar Abhyudaya Prakalpa for uplifting local children
:* Monthly Ration amounting to 1,000/- to old-aged mothers
:* Monthly Medical Camp with free Medicine

13 students in the last 1 year became financially benefited to procure books and 4 poor yet meritorious students received a scholarship of Rs. 12000/-. With this new approach, Roy Villa is moving ahead to provide service to mankind and is the focal point of Ramakrishna Mission in North Bengal.

'''''Satyagraha''''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɑː|t|j|ə|'|ɡ|r|ɑː|h|ɑː}}; [[Sanskrit]] सत्याग्रह, ''satyāgraha'' "insistence on truth") is a 1980 [[opera]] in three acts for orchestra, chorus and soloists, composed by [[Philip Glass]], with a [[libretto]] by Glass and [[Constance DeJong (writer)|Constance DeJong]].

Loosely based on the life of [[Mahatma Gandhi]], it forms the second part of Glass's "Portrait Trilogy" of operas about men who changed the world, which also includes ''[[Einstein on the Beach]]'' and ''[[Akhnaten (opera)|Akhnaten]]''.

Glass's style can broadly be described as [[minimalist music|minimalist]]. The work is scored for 2 [[soprano]]s, 2 [[mezzo-soprano]]s, 2 [[tenor]]s, a [[baritone]], 2 [[bass (voice type)|basses]], a large [[SATB]] chorus, and an orchestra of [[string section|strings]] and [[woodwinds]] only, no [[Brass instrument|brass]] or [[percussion]]. Principal roles are [[Sonja Schlesin]], Mahatma Gandhi, [[Hermann Kallenbach]] and [[Parsee Rustomjee|Parsi Rustomji]].

The title refers to Gandhi's concept of [[nonviolent]] resistance to injustice, [[satyagraha]], and the text, from the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'', is sung in the original [[Sanskrit]]. In performance, translation is usually provided in [[supertitles]].

Indian Platoon

2025-06-02T16:09:17Z

{{Short description|Indo-Fijian military unit}}


The '''Indo-Fijian Platoon''' was the only Indo-Fijian military unit created in Fiji and existed from 1934 to 1941. The platoon was eventually disbanded following a dispute over pay.

== Creation of the platoon ==
In 1916, [[Manilal Doctor]], the [[de facto]] leader of the Indo-Fijian tried to persuade the colonial government of Fiji to form an Indo-Fijian platoon to support the British war effort during the [[First World War]]. He sent the names of thirty-two volunteers to the government but his requests were ignored. A number of Indo-Fijian went to [[New Zealand]] to volunteer to join the [[New Zealand Army]] and one of these served in Europe.<ref>{{cite book |last= Gillion|first=Kenneth |title= Fiji's Indian Migrants|year=1962 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=London |isbn= 0-19-550452-6| pages = 161}}</ref>

According to historian, K.L. Gillion, the platoon was created within the [[Republic of Fiji Military Forces|Fiji Defence Force]] in 1934 as part of Governor [[Arthur George Murchison Fletcher|Arthur Fletcher]]'s policy of giving [[Indo-Fijians]] greater recognition and opportunity to participate in the general life of the Colony of [[Fiji]] and to encourage them to regard Fiji as their permanent home. The platoon was made up of ethnic Indians but the platoon commander and the non-commissioned officers were Europeans. The formation of the platoon was opposed by the two prominent [[Europe]]an members of the [[Legislative Council of Fiji|Legislative Council]], Sir Maynard Hedstrom and Sir Henry Scott.<ref name="Gillion">{{cite book |last= Gillion|first=Kenneth |title= The Fiji Indians: Challenge to European Dominance, 1920–1946|year=1977 |publisher=Australian National University Press |location=Canberra, Australia |isbn= 0-7081-1291-9| pages = 177}}</ref>

According to John Dunham Kelly and Martha Kaplan, the platoon had been constituted to celebrate a Royal visit – "the Colonial Secretary had visions of a line of red turbans to complement the dramatic jagged-edged black-and-white uniforma of the Armed Native Constabulary". The turban never materialised but the commandant found the attachment of this unit to an otherwise European battalion, "awkward".<ref name="Kelly">[https://books.google.com/books?id=c1uHYjKHpxsC&dq=fiji+%2BIndian&pg=PA130 Represented communities: Fiji and world decolonization By John Dunham Kelly, Martha Kaplan ]</ref>

== Dispute over pay ==
Prior to the start of the Second World War, soldiers had served voluntarily and were paid "capitation grants" according to efficiency ratings without regard to race. On 8 September 1939, one week after the Nazi invasion of Poland, Fiji mobilised its Defence Force and changed its system of wages under which European privates were paid four shillings per day and non-European privates two shillings per day. The Indo-Fijian platoon members refused to accept their pay. The Commandant of the Fiji Defence Force asked for the every member of the platoon to be dismissed. The Governor refused to dismiss them and praised the European second lieutenant who persuaded them to accept non-European pay.<ref name="Kelly"/>

== Disbandment ==
The platoon was disbanded in 1940 and the reason given for this action during a war was shortage of equipment as explained by the Governor two years later: "military considerations at the time necessitated the disbandment of the Indian Platoon, which had given eight years of voluntary service in the Fiji Defence Forces. This disbandment was not due in any sense to unwillingness on the part of the Indo-Fijians to serve in the armed forces of the colony".<ref>{{cite book |last= Lal|first=Brij |title= Broken Waves: A History of the Fiji Islands in the Twentieth Century|year=1992 |publisher=University of Hawaii Press |location=Honolulu, Hawaii |isbn= 0-8248-1418-5| pages = 121}}</ref>

But the real reason for this action was that members of the platoon had asked for equal pay with the Europeans and the New Zealand military authorities (who commanded the Fiji Army at the start of the War) feared that this dissatisfaction could spread to the rest of the army, which was mainly [[Fijians|ethnic Fijian]].<ref name="Gillion"/>

According to Kelly, in November 1941, the soldiers of the platoon again asked to make a case for equal pay. Each member of the platoon was then separately asked to accept non-European pay, refused and was dismissed with the support of the new Governor.<ref name="Kelly"/>

C. R. formula

{{Short description|Partition proposal during WWII}}

[[File:CR Formula.JPG|right|thumb|225px|''The Sind Observer'' reports Gandhi's acceptance to the C. R. Formula]]
'''C. Rajagopalachari's formula''' (or ''C. R. formula'' or ''Rajaji formula'') was a proposal formulated by [[Chakravarti Rajagopalachari]] to solve the political deadlock between the [[All India Muslim League]] and the [[Indian National Congress]] on the [[independence of India|independence of British India]]. The League's position was that the Muslims and Hindus of [[British India]] were of [[Two-Nation Theory|two separate nations]] and henceforth the Muslims had the right to their own nation. The Congress, which had predominantly Hindu members, opposed to the idea of partitioning the Subcontinent. With the advent of the [[Second World War]] the British administration sought to divide the Indian political elite into two factions so as to make sure that the Indian independence movement does not make large progress, taking advantage of the war.

C. Rajagopalachari, a Congress leader from Madras, devised a proposal for the Congress to offer the League the predominantly Muslim region that became [[Pakistan]] based on a [[plebiscite]] of allowing the people in those regions where Muslims were in the majority. Although the formula was opposed even within the Congress party, [[Gandhi]] used it as the basis of his proposal in talks with [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah|Jinnah]] in 1944. However, Jinnah rejected the proposal and the talks failed and thus C.R. Formula did not come into effect.

==Congress and League==
{{Rajaji}}
{{see also|Indian National Congress|All India Muslim League|Lucknow Pact}}
The All India Muslim League was formed in 1906 to "protect the interests of Muslims" in British India and to "represent their needs and aspirations to the Government".{{sfn|Singh|Brown|Clammer|Cocks|2008|p=29}} The Indian National Congress, formed in 1885, had demanded [[Swaraj|self-governance in India]].{{sfn|Mishra|1987|pp=73 -75}} In 1916, the League and the Congress entered into a [[Lucknow pact|pact]] in which the League agreed to support the Congress' efforts for home rule in exchange for the Congress' support for a [[Separate Electorate System|two electorate]] system{{sfn|Hardy|1972|pp=187–188}} that would create [[constituencies]] where only Muslims could contest and vote.{{sfn|Dudley-Jenkins|2003|p=160}} In the elections of 1937, Congress emerged as the largest party in seven of the 11 provinces with a clear majority in five ([[Madras Presidency]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Central Provinces and Berar|Central Province]], [[Bihar]] and [[Orissa, India|Orissa]]).{{sfn|Shakoor|2003|pp=16 – 17}} On the whole, Congress won 716 of the 1161 seats it contested. The League secured 4.8% of the total Muslim votes (winning 25% of the seats allotted for Muslims{{sfn|Kulke|Rothermund|2004|p=314}}) and did not acquire majority in any of the four Muslim predominant provinces ([[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]], [[Sind province (1936-1955)|Sind Province]], [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955)|North West Frontier Province]] and [[Bengal Presidency]]).{{sfn|Shakoor|2003|pp=16 – 17}} The League had hoped that its candidates would win the votes over the Congress in Muslim electorates, but was disappointed.{{sfn|Kulke|Rothermund|2004|p=314}} Since Congress had majority in Hindu majority provinces, it refused to share power with the League in those provinces.{{sfn|Kulke|Rothermund|2004|pp= 314 -315}} The eventual disagreement led to a political tussle between the League and the Congress{{sfn|Shakoor|2003|pp= 186- 189}} climaxing with the League's [[Lahore Resolution]] in March 1940, calling for an independent Muslim nation carved out of British India.{{sfn|Shakoor|2003|pp= 171 – 174}}

==Second World War ==
{{see also|Second World War}}
In September 1939, [[Lord Linlithgow]], the then [[Viceroy of India]], announced that India was at war with Germany.{{sfn|Wolpert|1984|p={{page needed|date=October 2022}}}} The Congress Party resigned its provincial seats in protest, stating that the viceroy's decisions had pushed India into a war not of India's making and without consulting its people or representatives.{{sfn|Hardy|1972|p=230}} Nevertheless, many Congress leaders, including [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] had expressed moral support to the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]] cause against the [[Nazis]].{{sfn|Kux|1993|p=6}} Congress demanded that if Britain was fighting to protect democracy through the war, it should also establish democracy in India.{{sfn|Chopra|2003|p= 272}} However, both the Viceroy and the Secretary of State for India ([[Leo Amery]]) openly disliked Indian National Congress and its leaders including Gandhi and Nehru.{{sfn|Kux|1993|p=6}} Moreover, since the British Indian army was dominated by Muslims and [[Sikhs]], the government in London was keen to get both these parties' support rather than appeasing Congress.{{sfn|Wolpert|1984|p={{page needed|date=October 2022}}}} While Jinnah's Muslim League wanted a Muslim Pakistan, Sikhs feared that if India were divided, Punjab would come under Pakistan and hence put the Sikhs under Muslim rule.{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|p= 101}} Eventually the British administration concluded that no progress towards Indian statehood could be made unless Congress and the League reached an agreement.{{sfn|Hardy|1972|p=230}}

With Japan's [[attack on Pearl Harbor]], the US entered the war. Later the Japanese [[South-East Asian theatre of World War II|invasion of South East Asia]] in 1941 drew the war much closer to India. Congress maintained that it would support the war efforts of Britain provided India was given its freedom.{{sfn|Mishra|1982|p=31}} While the Congress demanded a unified India and that the issue of a Muslim nation be resolved after independence, the League preferred that separate dominions be created first.{{sfn|Jalal|1994|p=121}} Jinnah claimed that he wanted "Pakistan and that commodity is available not in the Congress market but in the British market".{{sfn|Jalal|1994|p=121}} Although the ruling [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]] had taken a harsh stance on the Congress, the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] and its leaders were sympathetic to its efforts.{{sfn|Mishra|1982|p= 34}} The war saw an increase in support in Britain for efforts to solve the crisis between the Raj, Congress and League. It was realised that the deadlock meant that the vast resources of India was not available to the war.{{sfn|Mishra|1982|pp= 34–36}} In addition, America had been sympathetic to India's cause, which if not satisfied by the British administration would have further weakened the Allies.{{sfn|Kux|1993|p=s 6–11}} With divided opinion within the British government, [[Sir Stafford Cripps]] was sent to India in March 1942.{{sfn|Mishra|1982|p= 40}} Since Cripps was a well known Congress sympathiser who had earlier advised the Congress leaders to "stand firm as a rock" on their demands of freedom, he was seen as the best choice for negotiations.{{sfn|Mishra|1982|p= 41}} [[Cripps' mission]] however failed as the Congress declared that he was assuming different stances in private and public with regard to Indian self-governance.<ref>{{cite web|first=Felix |last=Marrow |url=http://www.marxists.org/archive/morrow-felix/1942/09/cripps.htm |title=The Truth About the Cripps Mission}}</ref> Cripps' failure

==Chakravarti Rajagopalachari's role==
{{see also|C. Rajagopalachari}}
[[File:Rajaji1939.jpg|right|thumb|125px|[[C. Rajagopalachari]] during a rally in 1939]]

Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (or Rajaji as he was commonly referred to) was a prominent Congress leader from Madras.{{CN|date=October 2022}} He was a well known follower of Gandhi and was sometimes referred to as Gandhi's ''conscience keeper''.{{sfn|Srinivasan|2009}} Nonetheless, he proposed that if Muslims in India wanted a partition, Congress should not oppose this.{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p=88}} Thus he was the earliest Congress leader to acknowledge that partition was inevitable. He considered that, in the then likely scenario of Japanese invasion, India would need the support of the British and hence required the Congress and the League to agree on the constitution of India with urgency.{{sfn|Wolpert|1984|p={{page needed|date=October 2022}}}} In April 1942, parts of the Madras Presidency were bombed by Japanese warplanes operating from the aircraft carrier ''[[Japanese aircraft carrier Ryūjō|Ryūjō]]''. [[Arthur Hope, 2nd Baron Rankeillour|Arthur Hope]], the [[Governor of Madras]] advised the people to leave Madras and also moved the secretariat inland.{{sfn|Jackson|2006|p= 296}} Rajaji considered this an act of the British administration forsaking the people of Madras and brought resolutions in Madras Legislature Party of the All India Congress Committee that the Congress should concede the demand of Pakistan if the League insisted on it.{{sfn|Ramanathan|2008|p=311}} With severe opposition to the resolutions from the Congress leadership, he resigned from the Congress as per Gandhi's advice.{{sfn|Sinha|2002|pp= 61–62}} Thus he did not participate in the Quit India movement and was not arrested with the other Congress leaders.{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p=88}} Hence he was able to devise a proposal to negotiate with the League.{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|p=167}} This proposal, which was called the CR formula by the popular press{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|p=108}} was to recognise the demand for Pakistan in principle and to act as a basis for talks between the League and the Congress.{{sfn|Sen|1997|p=311}}

==The proposal==
[[File:Gandhi Rajagopalachari.jpg|right|thumb|[[Mohandas Gandhi]] and [[C. Rajagopalachari]] during the Gandhi-Jinnah talks at [[Birla House]], [[Bombay]]]]
The CR formula entailed{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|p= 168}}

:i. The League was to endorse the Indian demand for independence and to co-operate with the Congress in formation of Provisional Interim Government for a transitional period.

:ii. At the end of the War, a commission would be appointed to demarcate the districts having a Muslim population in absolute majority and in those areas plebiscite to be conducted on all inhabitants (including the non-Muslims) on basis of adult suffrage.

:iii. All parties would be allowed to express their stance on the partition and their views before the plebiscite.

:iv. In the event of separation, a mutual agreement would be entered into for safeguarding essential matters such as defence, communication and commerce and for other essential services.

:v. The transfer of population, if any would be absolutely on a voluntary basis.

:vi. The terms of the binding will be applicable only in case of full transfer of power by Britain to Government of India.

== Gandhi–Jinnah talks of 1944 ==
[[File:Jinnah Gandhi.jpg|right|thumb|[[Gandhi]] and [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah|Jinnah]] in [[Bombay]], September 1944]]As the [[Allies of World War II |Allies]] saw more victories, the attitude of British administration towards Congress softened.{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p= 91}} Moreover, America had been pressing Britain to meet India's demand for self-governance.{{sfn|Kux|1993|pp=6–34}} Although other Congress leaders were still in prison Gandhi was released on 5 May 1944.{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p= 92}}{{full citation needed |date=July 2017}} After his release Gandhi proposed talks with Jinnah on his two-nation theory and negotiating on issue of partition.{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p= 93}} The CR formula acted as the basis for the negotiations.{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|pp= 167–168}} Gandhi and Jinnah met in September 1944 to ease the deadlock.{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|p=167}} Gandhi offered the CR formula as his proposal to Jinnah.{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|p=168}} Nevertheless, Gandhi-Jinnah talks failed after two weeks of negotiations.{{sfn|Sen|1997|p= 311}}

==Causes of failure of the proposal==
Although the formulation supported the principle of Pakistan, it aimed to show that the provinces that Jinnah claimed as Pakistan contained large numbers of non-Muslims.{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|p=108}} Jinnah had claimed provinces then regarded as Muslim majority regions (in the north-west; [[Sind province (1936-1955)|Sind]], [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Baluchistan]], the [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955)|North-West Frontier Province]] and the [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]], and in the north-east, [[Assam]] and [[Bengal]]).<ref name="Wavell’s letter to Amery">Wavell's letter to Amery</ref> Thus if a plebiscite was placed, Jinnah ran a risk of partitioning Punjab and Bengal.{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|p=108}} Moreover, Jinnah considered that the League represented all Muslims and the adult franchise demanded by the formula was redundant.{{sfn|Chhabra|2005|p=168}} Furthermore, the decision of Muslims to secede from India, according to the CR formula, would be taken not just by Muslims alone but by a plebiscite of the entire population even in the Muslim majority districts. This, according to [[Ayesha Jalal]] (a Pakistani-American sociologist and historian), might well have diluted the enthusiasm of the people of these provinces about going partition. Hence Jinnah rejected the initiative, telling his Council that it was intended to 'torpedo' the Lahore resolution; it was the 'grossest travesty', a 'ridiculous proposal', 'offering a shadow and a husk – a maimed, mutilated and moth-eaten Pakistan, and thus trying to pass off having met out Pakistan scheme and Muslim demand'.{{sfn|Jalal|1994|p=121}}

While the formula retained most of the essential services, Jinnah wanted a full partition and any relations would be dealt via [[treaty]] alone.<ref name="Wavell’s letter to Amery" /> Although a failure the CR formula was seen as Congress' betrayal of the [[Sikhs]] by [[Akali Dal]] leaders like [[Master Tara Singh]].{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|pp= 108–109}} Since the formula meant vivisection of Punjab, if agreed the Sikh community would be divided. Sikhs did not hold a majority in any single district. Splitting Punjab would leave many on both sides of the dividing line.{{sfn|Tan|Kudaisya|2000|p=108}} The proposal had been attacked by other leaders such as [[V. D. Sarvarkar]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nazariapak.info/pak-history/pak-movement/glance/gandh-Jinnahalks-1944.asp |title=Gandhi Jinnah Talks |year=1944 |access-date=10 December 2009 |archive-date=18 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718142143/http://nazariapak.info/pak-history/pak-movement/glance/gandh-Jinnahalks-1944.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> and [[Syama Prasad Mookerjee]] of the [[Hindu Mahasabha]] and [[Srinivas Sastri]] of National Liberal Federation.{{sfn|Sen|1997|p=311}} However, Wavell the then viceroy of India who had earlier insisted on the geographic unity of India,{{sfn|Zakaria|2001|p=91}} stated that the talks based on the CR formula failed because Gandhi himself did "''not really believe''" in the proposal nor Jinnah was ready to "''answer awkward questions''" which would reveal that he had "''not thought out the implications of Pakistan''".<ref name="Wavell’s letter to Amery" />
