The majority of the population fall within three large [[language family|linguistic groups]]: [[Indo-Aryan peoples|Indo-Aryan]], [[Dravidian people|Dravidian]], and [[Iranic peoples|Iranic]]. These groups are also further subdivided into numerous sub-groups, castes and tribes. Indo-Aryans form the predominant ethnolinguistic group in India ([[North India]], [[East India]], [[West India]], and [[Central India]]), Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Chitta |first=Sridhar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fR1YEAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA173 |title=The Knowledge in the Vedas |date=7 January 2022 |publisher=StoryMirror Infotech Pvt Ltd |isbn=978-93-92661-61-7 |pages=173 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dravidians form the predominant ethnolinguistic group in [[South India|southern India]], the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka and a small pocket of Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;SwanSmith2001&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Swan |first1=Michael |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6UIuWj9fQfQC&amp;amp;pg=PA227 |title=Learner English: A Teacher&#039;s Guide to Interference and Other Problems |last2=Smith |first2=Bernard |date=26 April 2001 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |isbn=978-0-521-77939-5 |page=227 |author-link1=Michael Swan (writer) |author-link2=Bernard Smith (art historian) |access-date=18 October 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Iranic peoples]] also have a significant presence in South Asia, the large majority of whom are located in Afghanistan and the northwestern and western parts of Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Kachru |first1=Braj B. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O2n4sFGDEMYC&amp;amp;pg=PA34 |title=Language in South Asia |last2=Kachru |first2=Yamuna |last3=Sridhar |first3=S.

Minority groups not falling within either large group mostly speak languages belonging to the [[Austroasiatic languages|Austroasiatic]] and [[Tibeto-Burman languages|Tibeto-Burman]] language families, and largely live around [[Ladakh]] and [[Northeast India]], Nepal, Bhutan, and the [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]] of Bangladesh. The [[Andamanese]] (Sentinel, Onge, Jarawa, and Great Andamanese) live in some of the Andaman Islands and speak a [[language isolate]], as do the [[Kusunda people|Kusunda]] in central Nepal,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;D.E. Watters, &#039;&#039;Notes on Kusunda (a language isolate of Nepal)&#039;&#039;, Kathmandu 2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[Vedda people|Vedda]] in Sri Lanka, and the [[Nihali]] of Central India, who number about 5,000 people. The people of the [[Hunza Valley]] in Pakistan are another distinct population; they speak [[Burushaski]], a language isolate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The traditions of different ethnic groups in South Asia have diverged, influenced by external cultures, especially in the northwestern parts of South Asia and also in the border regions and busy ports, where there are greater levels of contact with external cultures. There is also a lot of genetic diversity within the region. For example, most of the ethnic groups of the [[Northeast India|northeastern parts]] of South Asia are genetically related to peoples of [[East Asia|East]] or [[Southeast Asia]]. There are also genetically isolated groups who have not been genetically influenced by other groups, such as the [[Jarawas (Andaman Islands)|Jarawa people]] of the [[Andaman Islands]]. The largest ethnolinguistic group in South Asia are the Indo-Aryans, numbering around 1 billion, and the largest subgroup are the native speakers of [[Central Indo-Aryan languages|Hindi languages]], numbering more than 470 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These groups are based solely on a linguistic basis and not on a genetic basis.&lt;br /&gt;

Produced by [[Stone Bench Creations]] and [[2D Entertainment]], the film stars [[Suriya]] and [[Pooja Hegde]] in the lead roles. In the film, Paarivel &amp;quot;Paari&amp;quot; Kannan, an orphan raised by a gangster, faces betrayal and a violent cult as he searches for his true origins, fulfils a prophecy, and tries to reunite with his lost love, Rukmini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film was announced in March 2024 under the tentative title &#039;&#039;Suriya 44&#039;&#039;,{{efn|Suriya&#039;s 44th film as the lead actor}} along with the tagline &#039;&#039;Love, Laughter, War.&#039;&#039; The title was revealed in December 2024. [[Principal photography]] commenced in June 2024 and [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] by early October. Filming locations included the [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]], [[Ooty]], [[Kerala]] and [[Chennai]]. The film has music composed by [[Santhosh Narayanan]], cinematography handled by Shreyaas Krishna and editing by Shafique Mohamed Ali.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Retro&#039;&#039; was released on 1 May 2025 in standard and [[Qube Cinema Technologies#EPIQ|EPIQ]] formats. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Suriya and Hegde&#039;s performances, first half and technical aspects, but some noted issues with the pacing and overstuffed plot. It emerged as a major commercial success, grossing {{INR}}250 crore worldwide against a budget of {{INR}}60–65 crore, becoming one of the [[List of Tamil films of 2025|highest-grossing Tamil films of 2025]] and the highest-grossing film of Suriya&#039;s career.{{efn|name=&amp;quot;bo&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words--&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
In 1960s [[Thoothukudi]], Sandhya adopts an orphaned infant with a spear-shaped scar on his stomach. She names him Paarivel &amp;quot;Paari&amp;quot; Kannan, raising him lovingly, while her gangster husband, Thilagan, refuses to acknowledge the boy. After Sandhya&#039;s death, a teenage Paari meets Rukmini at their mothers’ funeral rites in [[Varanasi]]. On their train back to Thoothukudi, when Thilagan is ambushed, Paari saves him, earning Thilagan&#039;s reluctant respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1989, Thilagan remarries and has a biological son. Paari remains loyal to him and his criminal empire, though his new wife sees him only as a henchman. Reuniting with Rukmini, now a veterinarian, Paari falls deeply in love. After four years of courtship, in 1993, they plan to get married. At their wedding, Paari announces that he is leaving the life of crime. However, Thilagan accuses him of sabotaging a high-stakes arms deal—code-named “Gold Fish”—involving weapons smuggled for a prime ministerial candidate, Dharman. Paari admits guilt but withholds the location of the cache. Enraged, Thilagan tries to kill Rukmini, but Paari retaliates, severing Thilagan&#039;s hand in the process. Paari is immediately arrested and imprisoned. Heartbroken by his return to violence, Rukmini leaves him and moves to an undisclosed location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five years later, in 1998, Paari is promised early release if he fights for a secretive cult. Learning Rukmini is in the [[Andaman Islands]], he escapes custody and heads there. To win her back, he kidnaps Chaplin Laali, a comedic therapist, and impersonates him. The real Laali, under duress, plays along. On the island, Paari performs as Laali and reunites with Rukmini, who is unaware of his disguise. The island is ruled by the tyrannical Lord Milton and his son, Freddie, who abuses animals and harasses Rukmini. When Freddie goes too far, Paari violently attacks him. A humiliated Freddie hires a cult leader to capture Paari. Recognizing him, the cult leader informs his boss, Michael, and alerts Thilagan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Michael runs the deadly &amp;quot;Rubber Cult&amp;quot;, with gladiator-style games between the island&#039;s rich and the enslaved poor. The matches are rigged, and the losers are fed to crocodiles by Michael&#039;s father Rajavel. Michael exposes Paari&#039;s true identity during a comedy show, shocking Rukmini, who walks away in disbelief. Paari accepts her decision and joins the cult. In his first match, Paari&#039;s brutal skill leaves the audience stunned. Michael sees Paari as a star and throws a party to celebrate. There, a drunk Paari lets slip the secret location of the Gold Fish cache. Later, when attacked by enslaved locals, they spot his scar and realize he is the prophesied child from a local legend—one destined to return a sacred spear of Jada Muni and kill Rajavel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They reveal Paari&#039;s true identity: he was born to Pasupathy and Lakshmi, islanders who had twins—Paari, who was actually named Jada Muni by his biological parents, and a sister. Fearing Rajavel&#039;s wrath, they smuggled Paari to India. Sandhya adopted him after his protector was killed. Now aware of his roots, Paari meets his real father, Pasupathy. The next day, Paari returns to the arena, fighting for the poor. After winning, he names Michael and Rajavel the weakest, condemning them to death. Paari defeats Michael in a brutal duel but spares his life, humiliating him instead. Paari then storms Rajavel&#039;s estate. Rajavel feels insulted at being killed by his slaves, so he shoots himself, and Paari reclaims the sacred spear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Jada Muni&#039;s temple, Paari returns the spear to the astrologer and reunites with Pallavi and his twin sister. Rukmini, finally understanding the full truth, reconciles with Paari. He promises her that he has found his dhammam—his true path—and renounced violence. However, the peace is brief, as Thilagan, Michael, and Freddie arrive at the temple to kill them. They are shocked to find Paari&#039;s family and the islanders aiming bazookas at them—revealed to be the long-lost Gold Fish weapons. Thilagan realizes that Paari outwitted them all. Paari calmly tells his mother to fire. Lakshmi, now empowered, fires a warning shot, forcing their surrender. The next day, the islanders rejoice in their newfound freedom as Paari and Rukmini finally marry, fulfilling both prophecy and love.&lt;br /&gt;

While working on [[Mahaan (2022 film)|&#039;&#039;Mahaan&#039;&#039;]] in mid 2021, director [[Karthik Subbaraj]] had narrated a script to [[Suriya]] which impressed the actor.

Nagesh SP. The founders, being visually impaired and having witnessed various challenges, have together conceptualized Samarthanam, an organization which would cater to people with disabilities, including visually impaired and underprivileged. &lt;br /&gt;
Education was conceived to be the basic right of every individual, irrespective of status and disability. And hence they initiated on the development of various programmes at primary, secondary and higher education levels and also various other initiatives solely dedicated for visually impaired and underserved. As the organization&#039;s objective and drive started gathering support, Samarthanam&#039;s areas of service also widened. The organization moved onto establishing Livelihood Resource Centres, Rehabilitation Centres, Social Enterprises and a Sports Association for the visually impaired. Samarthanam expanded and fortified to be recognized as an [[umbrella organization]], offering services to people with disabilities, underserved and women in distress.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sambhaji&#039;&#039;&#039;, the second [[Maratha Empire|Maratha]] king, was put to death by order of the [[List of emperors of the Mughal Empire|Mughal emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]] in the 17th century. The conflicts between the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] and the [[Deccan sultanates|Deccan Sultanates]], which resulted in the downfall of the Sultanates, paved the way for tensions between the Marathas and the Mughals. During the [[Deccan Wars]], Aurangzeb was drawn to southern India due to the Maratha [[Sacking of Burhanpur|attack on Burhanpur]] and his rebellious son, [[Muhammad Akbar (Mughal prince)|Muhammad Akbar]] who was supported by Sambhaji.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=History Of Aurangzib,vol.5 : Sarkar,jadunath : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive | website=Internet Archive | date=2015-07-01 | url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.98678 | access-date=2025-02-23 | page=n128 | quote = With the accession of Shambhuji the scene changed.

They were executed by the command of Aurangzeb at [[Tulapur]] in modern-day [[Maharashtra]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Sambhaji painting late 17th century.png|thumb|Portrait of Sambhaji]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the death of Sambhaji&#039;s father [[Shivaji]] in 1680, he escaped from the Panhala fort where he was kept captive by his father and proclaimed himself king, eliminating all of Shivaji&#039;s ministers who opposed his succession.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Sharma |first=Sunita |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q2kaAAAAYAAJ |title=Veil, Sceptre, and Quill: Profiles of Eminent Women, 16th- 18th Centuries |date=2004 |publisher=Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library |pages=139 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Once on the throne, Sambhaji waged numerous campaigns against the Mughals, following in his father&#039;s footsteps.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Richards |first=John F. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HHyVh29gy4QC |title=The Mughal Empire |date=1993 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-56603-2 |pages=217–223 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  After the Maratha [[Sacking of Burhanpur|Sack of Burhanpur]] the Marathas burnt, loot, raped and tortured the people of Burhanpur. According to [[John F. Richards|John F Richards]], Sambhaji unlike his father&#039;s footsteps, condoned the rape and violence committed by his army during the sieges.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; To the Nobles of Burhanpur, Sambhaji&#039;s raid was more than just a disruption of public order; it was seen as an attack on the Muslim community by a non-believer. If the [[Mughal Empire]] failed to protect the lives and property of Muslims, it was believed that [[Aurangzeb|Aurangzeb&#039;s]] titles as ruler should not be acknowledged during the Friday congregational prayers. Under pressure from the Muslim nobles of Burhanpur and the rebellious son, [[Muhammad Akbar (Mughal prince)|Akbar]] who was supported by Sambhaji, Aurangzeb launched a campaign towards the Deccan region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Mughal siege of Golconda and Bijapur, Muslim [[Ulama|Ulema]] from Bijapur questioned Aurangzeb about how he could justify waging war against fellow Muslims. Aurangzeb&#039;s response was that the Sultan had harbored and aided Sambhaji, who had been causing harm to Muslims across the region. Aurangzeb also condemned [[Abul Hasan Qutb Shah|Abul Hasan]] for the additional offense of relinquishing control of his state to his two [[Brahmin]] ministers.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The fall of the Deccan Sultanates marked the beginning of a new chapter in Deccan history known as the &amp;quot;[[Deccan wars|Deccan Wars]]&amp;quot;.{{Sfn|Richards|1993|p=225}}  &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Aurangzeb-portrait.jpg|thumb|Aurangzeb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Capture of Sambhaji ==&lt;br /&gt;
While Aurangzeb was besieging Golconda and Bijapur, Sambhaji observed his movements from the fort of Panhala. Following the capture of Bijapur and Golconda, a significant amount of wealth and military resources fell into Mughal hands. After seizing these two key forts, Aurangzeb deployed Sarja Khan, a seasoned general from Bijapur familiar with the Deccan terrain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Karandikar |first=Shivaram Laxman |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_qI9AAAAMAAJ |title=The Rise and Fall of the Maratha Power |date=1969 |publisher=Sitabai Shivram Karandikar |pages=307–310 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1687, the [[Battle of Wai]] unfolded between the Maratha forces under the command of [[Hambirrao Mohite]], dispatched by Sambhaji, and the Mughal forces led by Sarja Khan. Despite the Maratha forces emerging victorious, Mohite was killed by a cannonball during the conflict.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Joshi |first=Pandit Shankar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9ngBAAAAMAAJ |title=Chhatrapati Sambhaji, 1657-1689 A.D. |date=1980 |publisher=S. Chand |pages=241 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sambhaji&#039;s military strength dwindled after the battle, prompting him to relocate with a smaller contingent of soldiers. His camp faced encirclement by Mughal agents within the confines of the [[Raigarh]] and [[Panhala]] hills. The Maratha faction led by the [[Shirke|Shirkes]] betrayed Sambhaji by divulging his movements to the Mughals, resulting in the revelation of Sambhaji&#039;s whereabouts. They provided daily updates on his movements to the Mughals, ultimately leading to Sambhaji&#039;s failure to safeguard himself, despite his efforts to protect the kingdom.{{Sfn|Mehta|2005|pp=49-50}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sambhaji was caught off guard by the Mughal commander [[Muqarrab Khan]], resulting in a battle at [[Sangameshwar]] where the Marathas suffered casualties, leading to their defeat. Five Marathas were killed, and the remaining fled. Sambhaji&#039;s minister, [[Kavi Kalash]], was captured, while Sambhaji himself managed to escape and seek refuge in a temple. The Mughals discovered his hiding place, and despite his attempts to flee, Sambhaji was apprehended on 1 February 1689.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Kulkarni |first=G.

Upon receiving the news of their capture, Aurangzeb was pleased and renamed the place Asadnagar to commemorate the event.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Execution==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tulapur arch.jpg|Tulapur stone arch, where Sambhaji was executed|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Sambhaji and Kavi Kalash were taken to the Imperial encampment near the [[Bhima River|Bhima river]]. Despite Sambhaji&#039;s royal status, he was not accorded the same respect as the Mughals granted to the rulers of Bijapur and Golconda. Instead, he and his ministers were humiliated by being dressed as [[Jester|buffoons]] in long fool&#039;s caps with bells attached, mounted on a camel, and paraded through the Mughal camps amidst the beating of drums and the pealing of trumpets. They were then presented to Aurangzeb, who was offering a thanksgiving prayer.{{Sfn|Mehta|2005|p=50}}{{Sfn|Richards|1993|p=223}} According to the Mughal chronicler, [[Khafi Khan]]{{efn|Khafi Khan wrote his chronicles decades after the execution. He is not believed to have been an eye witness to the trial and execution of Sambhaji or Aurangzeb&#039;s Deccan campaign}}  and Ishwar Das Nagar, that very night, Sambhaji and Kavi Kalash were blinded with red-hot irons.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Pāṭīla |first=Śālinī |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Eh1BAAAAMAAJ |title=Maharani Tarabai of Kolhapur, C. 1675-1761 A.D. |date=1987 |publisher=S. Chand &amp;amp; Company |isbn=978-81-219-0269-4 |pages=46–48 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 11 March 1689, at [[Koregaon]] on the River Bhima, where Aurangzeb was encamped, Sambhaji was beheaded. Aurangzeb&#039;s dream was thus fulfilled before he had been six years in the Deccan. The entire region from [[Narmada River|Narmada]] to [[Tungabhadra River|Tungabhadra]] now lay under his dominion. The land where Shivaji had once fought was subdued, and no signs of resistance remained.{{Sfn|Mehta|2005|p=51}}&lt;br /&gt;
Sambhaji&#039;s remains were fed to the dogs.{{sfn|Mehta|2005|p=53}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Vadhu Tulapur - Statue of Sambhaji Maharaja.JPG|thumb|Statue of Sambhaji]]&lt;br /&gt;
During his reign, Sambhaji was unable to accomplish much for his people. However, his death elevated him to the status of a martyr.{{Sfn|Mehta|2005|p=50}} Sambhaji&#039;s son, [[Shahu I|Shahu]], was held captive by Aurangzeb and was only released when he reached maturity.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Johnston |first=Harry |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lq1flY9dSN0C |title=The Great Pioneer in India, Ceylon, Bhutan &amp;amp; Tibet |date=1986 |publisher=Mittal Publications |pages=252 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following these events, the Mughals reached their peak in terms of territorial expansion, establishing the farthest extent of dominion in the subcontinent. Despite this, conflicts between the Marathas and Mughals persisted. [[Rajaram I|Rajaram]], the brother of Sambhaji, sought refuge in the [[Gingee Fort|Jinjee fort]] in the south, while Maratha officers continued their raids in the northern Deccan region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ulagalantha Perumal Temple&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Trivikrama Temple&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Hindu]] temple dedicated to [[Vishnu]] located in [[Tirukkoyilur]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. Constructed in the [[Dravidian architecture|Dravidian style of architecture]], the temple is glorified in the &#039;&#039;[[Divya Prabandha|Naalayira Divya Prabandham]]&#039;&#039;, the early medieval [[Tamil literature|Tamil]] canon of the [[Alvars|Alvar]] saints from the 6th–9th centuries CE. It is one of the 108 &#039;&#039;[[Divyadesam|Divya Desams]]&#039;&#039; dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Ulagalantha Perumal and his consort [[Lakshmi]] as Poongothai.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=108 Vaishnavite Divya Desams: Divya desams in Pandya Nadu|last=M. S. |first=Ramesh|publisher= Tirumalai-Tirupati Devasthanam}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The temple is believed to have been built by the [[Medieval Cholas]], with later contributions from [[Vijayanagar Empire|Vijayanagara kings]] and [[Madurai Nayaks]]. The temple covers an area of {{convert|5|acre|sqm|abbr=on}} and has a temple tower that is the third tallest in Tamil Nadu, measuring {{convert|192|ft|m|abbr=on}} in height.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Hindu scriptures and beliefs, [[Vamana]], a [[Brahmin]] dwarf avatar of Vishnu, appeared here to quell the pride of the [[asura]] king [[Mahabali|Bali]]. The temple is believed to be the place where the first three Alvars, the Vaishnava Saints, namely, [[Poigai Alvar]], [[Bhoothathalvar]], and [[Peyalvar]] attained salvation. The temple is one of the Panchakanna (Krishnaranya) Kshetrams, the five holy temples associated with [[Krishna]], an avatar of Vishnu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ulagalantha Perumal is believed to have appeared to King Mahabali and the Alvars. Six daily rituals, and a dozen yearly festivals, are held at the temple, out of which the chariot festival, celebrated during the [[Tamil calendar|Tamil]] month of panguni&#039;&#039;பங்குனி&#039;&#039; (March–April), is the most prominent. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legend==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ulagalantha Perumal6.JPG|220px|left|thumb|Legend showing Ulagalantha Perumal measuring earth and sky]]&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;[[Bhagavata Purana]]&#039;&#039; describes that Vishnu descended as the [[Vamana]] avatar to restore the authority of [[Indra]] over the heavens, as it had been taken by [[Mahabali]], a benevolent [[asura]] King. [[Mahabali|Bali]] was the grandson of [[Prahlada]]. King Mahabali was generous, and engaged in severe austerities and penance and won the praise of the world. With the praise from his courtiers and others, he regarded himself as the all powerful in the world. Vamana, in the guise of a short [[Brahmin]] carrying a wooden [[umbrella]], went to the king to request three paces of land. [[Mahabali]] consented, against the warning of his guru, [[Sukracharya]]. Vamana then revealed his identity and enlarged to gigantic proportions to stride over the three worlds. He stepped from heaven to earth with the first step, from earth to the netherworld with the second. King [[Mahabali]], unable to fulfill his promise, offered his head for the third. Vamana then placed His Foot and gave the king immortality for his humility. In worshiping Mahabali and his ancestor Prahláda, he conceded sovereignty of [[Patala|Pátála]], the netherworld. Some texts also report that Vamana did not step into the netherworld, and instead gave its rule to Bali. In giant form, Vamana is known as Trivikrama. The legend is associated with [[Thrikkakara Temple]] in [[Kerala]], but also with this temple and [[Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[#Parmeshwaranand|Parmeshwaranand]], p. 1337&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[#Hoiberg|Hoiberg 2001]], p. 217&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dinamalar&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As per another legend, the temple is believed to have originally been a Krishna temple. The temple name, Kovilur, refers to the original deity Gopalan, indicating [[Krishna]]. As per &#039;&#039;[[Brahmanda Purana]]&#039;&#039; sage [[Mrikandu]] heard about Vamana avatar of Vishnu and wanted to have a view of it. [[Brahma]] directed him to visit the place and perform penance. The sage came to the place along with his wife Mithravathi to start the penance. The pair used to feed [[Brahmin|Brahmanas]] in their hermitage. To test their devotion, Vishnu appeared as a Brahmana and sought food from the pair. Since all food for the day were already given, Mithravathi was worried and prayed to Vishnu. All the vessels were full with food and she was able to feed the Brahman. Pleased by their devotion, Vishnu reappeared as Vamana - Thrivikrama form.&amp;lt;ref name=R&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=An introduction to religion and Philosophy - Tévarám and Tivviyappirapantam|url=https://archive.org/details/dli.jZY9lup2kZl6TuXGlZQdjZY2lZpy.TVA_BOK_0006115|last=R.|first=Dr. Vijayalakshmy|publisher=International Institute of Tamil Studies| location=Chennai|year=2001|edition=1st|ref=R.|pages=485–6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ulagalantha Perumal9.JPG|220px|left|thumb|Image of the second gateway tower]]&lt;br /&gt;
The temple has an eleven-tiered raja[[gopuram]] with a height of {{convert|59|m|ft|abbr=on}}, the third tallest temple tower in Tamil Nadu, after the one in [[Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple]] and [[Srivilliputhur Andal temple]]. The temple covers an area of {{convert|5|acre|sqm|abbr=on}} and houses residential buildings in the precincts around the temple tower. The presiding deity, Ulagalantha Perumal, has an imposing image made of Tharu wood with foot raised. The images of Alvars are housed in the hall preceding the sanctum. The temple has two [[gopuram]]s (gateway towers), with the one at the main entrance being the tallest of the two.  The image of [[Vamana]] is located behind the sanctum. There are separate shrines for [[Lakshmi Narayana]], [[Lakshmi Narasimha]], Varadaraja, Rama, [[Andal]], [[Sudarshana Chakra|Chakratalvar]], [[Vishvaksena]], [[Manavala Mamuni]] and [[Ramanuja]] around the sanctum. The sanctum houses the wooden image of Ulagalantha Perumal. Unlike other Vishnu temples, Perumal is sported with [[Sanka|Sankha]] in his right hand and [[Chakra]] on his left. The sanctum also housed the images of Mahalakshmi, [[Prahlada|Prahalad]] and [[Mahabali]] to the right of presiding deity and the images of [[Sukracharya]], sage [[Mrikandu]] and the three mudhal [[Azhwar|Alvar]]s ([[Pey Azhwar|Pey]], [[Bhoothath Azhwar|Bhoothath]] and [[Poigai Azhwar|Poigai Alvar]]) to his left.  The festival deities, the metal images of Koovalan and Poongodhai Thayar are housed in the sanctum. [[Durga]], otherwise housed only in [[Shiva temple]]s, is a rare feature of the temple. The image of Krishna is made of [[saligrama]] stone and is housed in a separate shrine. There are separate shrines in the first precinct for Venugopala, Lakshmi Narayana, Lakshmi Raghava, Lakshmi Narasimha, [[Rama]], Veera Anjaneya, [[Andal]] and Shukracharya, the guru of the asuras.&amp;lt;ref name=C137&amp;gt;[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2014]], p. 137&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Vishnudurga is housed in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, which is one of the unique features of the temple.&amp;lt;ref name=A&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Temples of South India|first=Ambujam |last=Anantharaman|page=33|publisher=East West Books (Madras)|year=2006|isbn=978-81-88661-42-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are sixteen temple tanks associated with the temple, with Chakra Theertham located outside the temple being the most prominent.&amp;lt;ref name=C139&amp;gt;[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2014]], p. 139&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chakra Theertha is believed to have been from the waters used by [[Brahma]] to wash the feet of Vamana. It is believed that the water is source of river [[Pennar]], which flows nearby the temple. Chank Theertha, located in the east, Akasha Ganga, Varava Theertha and Kalava Theertha are the various other temple tanks in the temple.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dinamalar&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
It was originally under the rule of Malayaman Malayarayan chieftains &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Alvar |first1=Thirumangai |title=Thirunedunthandakam |orig-date=7th–8th century CE}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and later switched hands to Miladudaiyar and again went back to Malayaman Malayarayan chieftains. Both Miladudaiyars and Malayaman Malayarayan chieftains had direct relationship with the [[Medieval Cholas]], with their princess Sembian Mahadevi daughter of Malavarayar marrying Gandaraditya and Vanavan Mahadevi marrying [[Sundara Chola]] and gave birth to [[Rajaraja I]], the illustrious Chola king.&amp;lt;ref name=C134&amp;gt;[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2014]], p. 134&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There are multiple inscriptions in the temple from [[Chola]], [[Pandya]], and [[Vijayanagara Empire]] indicating donations to the temple. An inscription from [[Rajendra Chola II]] indicates that the temple was called Thiruvidaikali Alvar temple. A chieftain by name Ranakesari Raman reconstructed the whole sanctum with granite as the old structure built of bricks developed cracks. He also built five pinnacles, the veranda and the hall in front of it. Another inscription during the regime of [[Rajadhiraja Chola]] in 1171 CE indicates the donation of seven &#039;&#039;kalanju&#039;&#039; (a measure used in olden times) by a lady for the conduct of festivals of Vaikasi and Aippasi and also for the recitation of &#039;&#039;[[Tiruvaymoli]]&#039;&#039; sung by [[Nammazhwar|Nammmalvar]] in the temple.&amp;lt;ref name=C140&amp;gt;[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2014]], p. 140-1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temple was originally made of bricks, but during the period of [[Virarajendra Chola]] (1063–70), a granite structure was developed. Narasimha Varma constructed the other shrines also in granite. The temple received benevolent contributions from most of the later Chola rulers like [[Rajadhiraja Chola]] (1018–1054), [[Rajendra Chola II]] (1051–1063) and other rulers of the region like Vikramapandiya, Koperujinga and [[Vijayanagar Empire|Vijayanagara rulers]] like [[Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya]] (1485–1491) and [[Sadasiva Raya]] (1542–1570) as seen from the inscriptions in the temple. The temple was expanded during the rule of the Vijayanagar kings and Nayaks. The temple was the fortress to the [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]] during the [[Carnatic wars]]. It was also attacked during the days of the period of [[Hyder Ali]].&amp;lt;ref name=M/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Festivals and religious practices==&lt;br /&gt;

The temple priests perform the &#039;&#039;[[puja (Hinduism)|puja]]&#039;&#039; (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnava]] community, from the Brahmin varna. The temple rituals are performed six times a day: &#039;&#039;Ushathkalam&#039;&#039; at 7 a.m., &#039;&#039;Kalasanthi&#039;&#039; at 8:00&amp;amp;nbsp;a.m., &#039;&#039;Uchikalam&#039;&#039; at 12:00&amp;amp;nbsp;p.m., &#039;&#039;Sayarakshai&#039;&#039; at 6:00&amp;amp;nbsp;p.m., &#039;&#039;Irandamkalam&#039;&#039; at 7:00&amp;amp;nbsp;p.m. and &#039;&#039;Ardha Jamam&#039;&#039; at 10:00&amp;amp;nbsp;p.m. Each ritual has three steps: &#039;&#039;alangaram&#039;&#039; (decoration), &#039;&#039;neivethanam&#039;&#039; (food offering) and &#039;&#039;deepa aradanai&#039;&#039; (waving of lamps) for both Ulagalantha Perumal and Poongothai. During the last step of worship, &#039;&#039;[[nagaswaram]]&#039;&#039; (pipe instrument) and &#039;&#039;[[tavil]]&#039;&#039; (percussion instrument) are played, religious instructions in the &#039;&#039;[[Vedas]]&#039;&#039; (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the [[Iconography of Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu#Dvajasthamba and Pali Peedam|temple mast]]. There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dinamalar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Sri Thiruvikrama swamy temple|url=https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/new_en.php?id=605|publisher=Dinamalar|access-date=2014-01-01}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Various festivals are celebrated in the temple, with the 15-day Panguni Brahmmotsavam in March–April with Sri Pushpavalli Thayar Oonjal, being the most prominent one. During the Masi Magam festival celebrated in February–March, the festive deity is carried on the shoulders of devotees to [[Cuddalore]]. Other festivals are Purattasi Pavithra Utsavavm, [[Navarathri|Navaratri]], [[Srirama Navami]], Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi, Vasanth Utsavam in April–May, Vaikasi Visaka Garuda Seva, NammAlvar Sattrumurai in May–June, Aani PeriAlvar Sattrumurai in June–July, Aadi Thiruvadipooram, Andal Utsavam in July–August, Avani Sri Jayanthi, Uriyadi utsavam in August–September, Aipasi Mudalazwar Sattrumurai, Sri Manavala Mamunigal utsav in October–November, Karthikai Kaisika Ekadasi, Tirukarthikai in November–December, Margali Rapathu, Pagal Pathu and [[Vaikunta Ekadashi]] in December–January.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dinamalar&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This temple is one of the Panchakanna (Krishnaranya) Kshetrams. Kannan refers to [[Krishna]], the [[avatar]] of Vishnu, while &#039;&#039;pancha&#039;&#039; means five and &#039;&#039;Kshetrams&#039;&#039; refers to holy places. Four of the five temples are situated in [[Chola Nadu]], in modern times, in the region surrounding [[Kumbakonam]] and [[Nagapattinam]] and one of them in Nadu Nadu. Krishna is not the presiding deity in any of the temples. The processional deity, Krishna, led to the derivation of the names of these places. There are five similar temples located in North India, called Pancha-dvarakas.&amp;lt;ref name=M/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=T. |first=Padmaja |title=Temples of Kr̥ṣṇa in South India: history, art, and traditions in Tamil Nadu  |year=2002 |publisher=Shakti Malik |location=New Delhi |isbn=81-7017-398-1|pages=93–94 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pzgaS1wRnl8C&amp;amp;q=pancha+kannan&amp;amp;pg=PA93}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As per Hindu legend, Vishnu appeared to the &#039;&#039;mutal Alvars&#039;&#039; (first three &#039;&#039;Alvars&#039;&#039;) at Thirukkoilur. It was day time, but it darkened and started raining heavily. The wandering [[Poigai Alvar]] found out a small hide out, which has a space for one person to lie down. Bhootath Alvar arrived there looking for a hiding place and Poigai accommodated him, with both sitting together. In the meanwhile, Pey Alvar also came to the same place as all the three preferred to stand because of lack of space. The darkness became dense and inside the small room, they were not able to see each other. In the meanwhile, they felt a fourth person also forced his way among them. The three &#039;&#039;Alvars&#039;&#039; realised from the light of the lightning that the fourth one had a charming face that was sublime and divine. The trio could immediately realize that it was [[Vishnu]] who was huddling among them. Poigai wished to see Vishnu&#039;s face continuously but could view only from the simmering light of the lightning. With a view to maintain the continuity of light, he instantly composed hundred songs wishing the earth to be a big pot full of ghee like an ocean where the Sun could be the burning wick.&amp;lt;ref name=M&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=15 Vaishnava Temples of Tamil Nadu|last=M.|first=Rajagopalan|pages=57–65|publisher=Govindaswamy Printers|location=Chennai, India|year=1993}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;James&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Garg&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Encyclopaedia of the Hindu World: Ak-Aq|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WjDcd0cTFxQC&amp;amp;q=poygai&amp;amp;pg=PA352|pages=352–354|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|last=Garg|first=Gaṅgā Rām|year=1992|isbn=9788170223757}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dalal308&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[#Dalal|Dalal]] 2011, p. 308&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The temple finds mention in [[Sangam literature]] in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] from 3rd BC to 3rd centuries CE. &#039;&#039;[[Agananuru]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Purananuru]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Natrinai]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Kurunthogai]]&#039;&#039; have mention about the temple. Malayaman Tirumudikari, the ruler of Thirukovilur, was lavished praise in the texts for his charitable disposition to the institutions. It is believed that [[Avvaiyar (Sangam poet)|Avvaiyar]], the celebrated Sangam period poet, arranged marriage for  two chieftains at this place. Poet Kapilar is believed to have found suitable grooms for king Pari&#039;s daughter Angavai and Sangavai at this place and set himself up in fire. The event is commemorated every year in a huge rock called Kapilar Kal, where a small shrine exists even in modern times.&amp;lt;ref name=M/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Abbé]] Faria&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Langx|pt|&#039;&#039;&#039;Abade Faria&#039;&#039;&#039;}}) (born &#039;&#039;&#039;José Custódio de Faria&#039;&#039;&#039;; 31 May 1756 – 20 September 1819) was a Portuguese [[Catholic priest]] who was one of the pioneers of the [[Science|scientific study]] of [[hypnotism]], following on from the work of [[Franz Mesmer]]. Unlike Mesmer, who claimed that hypnosis was mediated by &amp;quot;[[animal magnetism]]&amp;quot;, Faria understood that it worked purely by the power of [[suggestion]]. In the early 19th century, Abbé Faria introduced [[oriental hypnosis]] to [[Paris]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faria was one of the first to depart from the theory of the &amp;quot;magnetic fluid&amp;quot;, to place in relief the importance of suggestion, and to demonstrate the existence of &amp;quot;[[autosuggestion]]&amp;quot;; he also established that what he termed &#039;&#039;nervous sleep&#039;&#039; belongs to the natural order. From his earliest [[magnet therapy|magnetizing]] [[séance]]s, in 1814, he boldly developed his doctrine. Nothing comes from the magnetizer; everything comes from the subject and takes place in his [[imagination]] generated from within the mind. Magnetism is only a form of [[sleep]]. Although of the moral order, the magnetic action is often aided by physical, or rather by physiological, means–fixedness of look and cerebral fatigue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faria changed the terminology of mesmerism. Previously, the focus was on the &amp;quot;concentration&amp;quot; of the subject. In Faria&#039;s terminology the operator became &amp;quot;the concentrator&amp;quot; and [[somnambulism]] was viewed as a lucid sleep. The method of hypnosis used by Faria is command, following expectancy. The theory of Abbé Faria is now known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Fariism&#039;&#039;&#039;. Later, [[Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault]] (1864–1904), the founder of the [[Nancy School]], and [[Émile Coué]] (1857–1926), father of applied [[Classical conditioning|conditioning]], developed the theory of [[suggestion]] and [[autosuggestion]] and began using them as therapeutic tools. [[Johannes Heinrich Schultz|Johannes Schultz]] developed these theories as [[Autogenic training]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
José Custódio de Faria was born in [[Candolim]], [[Bardes]] &#039;&#039;[[concelho]]&#039;&#039; in the erstwhile territory of [[Portuguese India|Portuguese Goa]], on 31 May 1756. He was the son of Caetano Vitorino de Faria of [[Colvale]], and Rosa Maria de Sousa of [[Candolim]]. He also had an adopted sister, Catarina who was an orphan. Caetano was in turn a descendant of Anantha [[Shenoy]], a [[Goud Saraswat Brahmin]] (GSB), village clerk and [[Patil (title)|Patil]] of the same village who converted to Christianity in 1583.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Indian Journal of Psychiatry, Volume 16, 1974, University of California, p. 307&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was a [[Goan Catholic]] of the &#039;&#039;[[Roman Catholic Brahmin|Bamonn]]&#039;&#039; caste,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.abbefaria.com/Abbe%20Faria%20Conspiracy.htm ABBÉ FARIA and the CONSPIRACY of  1787] – Prof. Alfredo de Mello, Abbefaria.com, &amp;quot;Caetano Victorino de Faria, a Brahmin Christian, born in Colvale, in the north of Bardez district, just on the south bank of the river Chapora, devoted himself to ecclesiastical studies when young.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Bradnock&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Robert Bradnock, Roma Bradnock, &#039;&#039;Footprint Goa Handbook: The Travel Guide&#039;&#039;, Footprint Travel Guides, 2002, {{ISBN|978-1-903471-22-7}}, [https://books.google.com/books?id=pWAnvOJD1qwC&amp;amp;pg=PA57 Google Print, p. 57] &amp;quot;Abbé José Custodio Faria was born on May 30, 1756, in Candolim, just inland of Calangute. His family claimed descent from Brahmins in Colvale, but his parents separated after his birth, his mother becoming a nun and his father a priest.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was also of partial European and African maternal descent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Pearson|first=M. N. |title=The Portuguese in India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8XLPnkqwzDYC|date=2 November 2006|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-02850-9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since his parents fought all the time, they decided to separate and obtained the Church&#039;s dispensation. Caetano Vitorino joined the [[seminary]] to study for the [[priest]]hood (he had already taken lower orders before his marriage). Rosa Maria became a [[nun]], joining the St. Monica Convent in [[Old Goa]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Move to Lisbon==&lt;br /&gt;
Faria&#039;s father, Caetano, had great ambition for himself and his son. Hence, Faria reached [[Lisbon]], [[Kingdom of Portugal]] on, 23 December 1771 with his father at the age of 15. After a year they managed to convince the [[List of Portuguese monarchs|King of Portugal]], [[Joseph I of Portugal|Joseph I]], to send them to [[Rome]] for Faria Sr. to earn a [[doctorate]] in [[theology]], and the son to pursue his studies for the [[Clergy|priesthood]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, the son too earned his doctorate, dedicating his [[Doctor of Philosophy|doctoral thesis]] to the Portuguese Queen, [[Mary I of Portugal]], and another study, on the [[Holy Spirit in Christianity|Holy Spirit]] to the [[Pope]]. Apparently the pope was sufficiently impressed to invite José Custódio to preach a [[sermon]] in the [[Sistine Chapel]], which he himself attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On his return to Lisbon, the Queen was informed by the [[Nuncio]] of the Pope&#039;s honour to Faria Jr. So, she too invited the young priest to preach to her as well, in her chapel. But Faria, climbing the pulpit, and seeing the august assembly felt tongue tied. At that moment his father, who sat below the pulpit, whispered to him in [[Konkani language|Konkani]]: &#039;&#039;Hi sogli baji; cator re baji&#039;&#039; (they are all [[vegetables]], cut the vegetables). Jolted, the son lost his fear and preached fluently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faria Jr., from then on, often wondered how a mere phrase from his father could alter his state of mind so radically as to wipe off his stage fright in a second. The question would have far reaching consequences in his life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Participation in Pinto Revolt==&lt;br /&gt;
Faria was implicated in the [[Conspiracy of the Pintos]] during 1787, and left for France in 1788. He stayed in [[Paris]] residing at Rue de Ponceau.{{cn|date=May 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Later years in France==&lt;br /&gt;
In Paris, Faria became a leader of one of the [[French Revolution|revolutionary battalions]] in 1795, taking command of one of the sections of the infamous &#039;&#039;10 of the [[Vendémiaire]]&#039;&#039;, which attacked the [[National Convention|French Convention]], taking an active part in its fall. As a result, he established links with individuals like [[François-René de Chateaubriand|Chateaubriand]], the [[Marquis de Custine]]. He was also a friend of [[Armand-Marie-Jacques de Chastenet, Marques of Puységur]] (a disciple of [[Franz Anton Mesmer]]), to whom he dedicated his book &#039;&#039;Causas do Sono Lúcido&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;On the Causes of Lucid Sleep&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1811, he was appointed [[Professor]] of [[Philosophy]] at the [[List of universities in France|University of France]] at [[Nîmes]], and was elected member of the &#039;&#039;Société Medicale de Marseille&#039;&#039; at Marseille.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1813, Faria realised that [[animal magnetism]] was gaining importance in Paris and returned to Paris and started promoting a new doctrine. He provoked unending controversies with his work &#039;&#039;Da Causa do Sono Lúcido no Estudo da Natureza do Homem&#039;&#039; (On the cause of Lucid Sleep in the Study of the Nature of Man), published in Paris in 1819 and was soon accused of being a charlatan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He retired as [[chaplain]] to an obscure religious establishment, and died of a stroke in Paris on 30 September 1819. He left behind no addresses {{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} and his grave remains unmarked and unknown, somewhere in [[Montmartre]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legacy==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AbaDeFaria.JPG|thumb|Statue of Faria at [[Panjim]], Goa]]&lt;br /&gt;
There is a [[bronze]] statue of Faria trying to hypnotise a woman in central [[Panjim]], [[Goa]], India (next to the former [[Government of Goa|Government Secretariat]] or [[Idalcão]] palace). It was sculpted in 1945 by [[Ramchandra Pandurang Kamat]] or earlier by Constâncio Fernandes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Reflected in Water |editor-last=Pinto |editor-first=Jerry |authorlink=Jerry Pinto |publisher=Penguin Books India |year=2006 |isbn=978-0143100812 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Portugal commemorated the 250th anniversary of Faria&#039;s birth in May 2006 by releasing a postcard and stamp (featuring his statue in Panjim, India.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=ABBE FARIA |url=http://www.abbefaria.com/index2.htm |access-date=2026-03-05 |website=www.abbefaria.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A street in the [[Areeiro, Lisbon|Areeiro]] zone of Lisbon is also named in his honour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It ceased to function after the [[liberation of Goa]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
French novelist [[Alexandre Dumas]]&#039; 1844 novel &#039;&#039;[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]&#039;&#039; features a prominent character named [[Abbé Faria (The Count of Monte Cristo)|Abbé Faria]], who was imprisoned in the [[Château d&#039;If]] in solitary confinement, and he learned a certain self-control while imprisoned. Otherwise, the character does not have a strong resemblance to his historical analogue.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=CMN |title=History of the château d&#039;If - CMN |url=https://www.chateau-if.fr/en/discover/history-of-the-chateau-d-if |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=www.chateau-if.fr |language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Abbé Faria&#039;&#039;, a play by Indian writer [[Asif Currimbhoy]], dramatizes Faria&#039;s life and views as a revolutionary priest and premier hypnotist. It was published by Writers Workshop.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Abbe Faria |first=Asif |last=Currimbhoy |work=Writers Workshop |location=Calcutta |url=https://openlibrary.org/b/OL1056393M/Abbe_Faria |isbn=978-8171894413 |year=1992 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Jaime Valfredo Rangel]] presented a paper in tribute of his 200th birth anniversary to the [[List of governors of Portuguese India|Governor of Portuguese India]], [[Paulo Bernard Guedes]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Institute of Clinical Hypnosis and Counselling was established in the Indian state of [[Kerala]] as a memorial to Faria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Kator Re Bhaji&#039;&#039;, is a play was written and directed by [[Isabel de Santa Rita Vas]] and performed by the Mustard Seed Art Company, an [[Indian theatre]] troupe from Goa, which celebrated the 250th anniversary of Faria&#039;s birth.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Pondit Bihar&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Pandita Bihar University&#039;&#039;&#039; was an ancient university of the [[Indian subcontinent]] established in the 8th century CE in [[East Bengal|eastern Bengal]] (present-day [[Bangladesh]]), in [[Chittagong|Chattogram]], and it is now completely extinct.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Uddin |first=Jamal |title= |publisher=Balaka Publications |year=2009 |edition=1st |location=[[Chattogram]] |language=bn |script-title=bn:চট্টগ্রামের ইতিহাস, জনবসতি, নামকরণের যৌক্তিকতা, কাল নির্ণয় ও পণ্ডিতবিহার বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় (গবেষণা গ্রন্থ) |trans-title=The History of Chattogram, Settlement, Logic of Naming, Chronology, and Pondit Bihar University (Research Book)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This [[Bihār|Bihar]] was essentially an educational institution similar to [[Nalanda University]], which operated as a center for teaching and propagating [[Vajrayana|Tantric Buddhism]] in eastern Bengal.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Malek |first=MA |date=November 1955 |editor-last=Khaled |editor-first=Mohammad |title= |script-title=bn:হাজার বছরের চট্টগ্রাম |work=[[Dainik Azadi]] |language=bn |edition=1st}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During a conflict in the 13th century, Nalanda Vihara in [[Bihar]] was destroyed, and many eastern Buddhist scholar communities later took refuge in Pondit Bihar. Atiśa Dīpaṅkara Śrījñāna, a [[Bhikkhu|Buddhist monk]] and missionary of the [[Pala Empire&lt;br /&gt;
]], stayed and studied for some time at Pondit Bihar.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Uddin |first=Jamal |date=12 January 2012 |title= |script-title=bn:চট্টগ্রাম পণ্ডিতবিহার বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় প্রতিষ্ঠা |work=[[Samakal]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The professors at Pondit Bihar, along with their teaching, studies, and yogic practices, also composed songs and &#039;&#039;dohas&#039;&#039; during their leisure time, which later gained recognition as &#039;&#039;[[Charyapada]]&#039;&#039;, the earliest known work of [[Bengali language]] and poetry.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Before and after Pondit Bihar, and until approximately the mid-18th century, the name of no other educational institution is found in history.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Location ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are various prevailing opinions regarding the location of Pondit Bihar. According to some discovered memorial artifacts, [[Tibet]] and [[Culture of Buddhism|Buddhist culture]] expert [[Sarat Chandra Das]] and other scholars and researchers have speculated that in the 8th century, the university was located on the hill adjacent to the present-day General Hospital in [[Chattogram City Corporation|Chattogram city]]. According to many, it is assumed that the university was situated either at Chakrashala in [[Patiya Upazila]] of [[Chittagong|Chattogram]] or in the southern part of Deyang Hill in the villages of Jhiuri and Hajigaon in [[Anwara Upazila]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Uddin |first=Jamal |date=2016-04-12 |title= |script-title=bn:ভারতবর্ষে বৌদ্ধধর্মের প্রসার ও বিলুপ্তির ইতিহাস - নির্বাণা |url=http://nirvanapeace.com/history-heritage/bangladeshi-history-heritage/778 |access-date=2025-04-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160412014226/http://nirvanapeace.com/history-heritage/bangladeshi-history-heritage/778 |archive-date=12 April 2016 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Others believe it was located on [[Chandranath Hill]] in [[Sitakunda Upazila]]. However, based on most opinions, there is much evidence and data suggesting that the university was located on Deyang Hill. In February 1927 CE, 66 [[brass]] [[Buddha in art|Buddha statues]] were discovered at the border of the villages of Jhiuri and Hajigaon on Deyang Hill in Anwara, which confirms evidence of the university&#039;s presence at this site.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History and decline ==&lt;br /&gt;
The principal of Pondit Bihar was Tilopa, a Brahmin son residing in Chakrashala, [[Patiya Upazila|Patiya]]. Regarding the origin of the name &amp;quot;Tilopa,&amp;quot; it is known that during his Hindu life, his yogic companion earned a living by grinding sesame seeds (&#039;&#039;til&#039;&#039;), and thus he adopted the name Tilopa. Later, after embracing [[Vajrayana|Tantric Buddhism]], he took the name Prajñabhadra and was appointed principal of Pandita Vihara. The chief [[Acharya|ācārya]] of [[Magadha]], [[Naropa]], received initiation from Prajñabhadra at Podit Bihar. Buddhist &#039;&#039;siddhācāryas&#039;&#039; and scholars such as [[Luipada|Luipa]], [[Shavaripa]], Lāripa, [[Natha Sampradaya|Avadhūtapa]], Amoghānātha, Dharmashrī, Maina, Buddhajñānapāda, and Anangavajra came to Pondit Bihar either as visitors or as professors. Researchers speculate that the name &#039;&#039;Pondit Bihar&#039;&#039; possibly originated from the gathering of various Buddhist scholars (&#039;&#039;[[Pondit (Buddhism)|Ponditas]]&#039;&#039;) at this monastery.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cause of Pondit Bihar&#039;s decline is not known. It is believed that the university existed in the 8th century CE. In 1059 CE, after the King [[Anawrahta|Anoratha]] of [[Myanmar|Burma]] conquered [[Chittagong|Chattogram]] and Pattikara, he abolished the prevailing Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition and began promoting the Hīnayāna or Theravāda sect. Later, in 1230 CE, the Buddhist king of [[Samatata]], Damodar Deva (reigned 1230–1253 CE), conquered Pattikara along with Chattogram and ruled the region until 1253 CE. Historically, it is known that during the reign of King Damodar Deva, Pandita Vihara still existed in a flourishing state.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the later century, in 1340 CE, the general Kadalkhan Gazi of Sonargaon’s Sultan [[Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah]] (reigned 1338–1350 CE) expelled the [[Rakhine people|Arakanese]] from the Chattogram region and brought Chattogram under Muslim rule for the first time. Until 1580 CE, Chattogram remained under the rule of the independent Sultans and Afghan rulers of Bengal. It is assumed that during this period, the condition of Pondit Bihar became miserable. According to historical sources from Arakan, during that time, the kings of Arakan at times temporarily, and at times for extended periods, held control and governed the Chattogram region. In 1580 CE, the Arakanese king Min Phalaung defeated Afghan military ruler Jamal Khan Panni and annexed the entire Chattogram region into the Arakan kingdom. From that time until 27 January 1666 CE, Chattogram remained part of the Arakan kingdom. Historians believe that Pondit Bihar continued to exist even during this period. In 1666 CE, the Subahdar of Bengal, Shaista Khan, assigned his son [[Buzurg Umed Khan]] as his chief commander and sent him on an expedition to the Chattogram region. On 27 January 1666 CE, the Mughal soldiers captured the Chatigaon fort in Anwara Upazila and expelled the Maghs. During these battles, the ancient port town of Deyang in Chattogram was damaged, and it is assumed that as a result of this and the passage of time, Pandita Vihara eventually ceased to exist.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reestablishment ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, a special delegation from the [[University Grants Commission of Bangladesh|University Grants Commission]] conducted an on-site visit to the historical ruins of Pondit Bihar on Deyang Hill in Anwara. It has been decided that the university will be reestablished on approximately one hundred and fifty acres of hilly land, primarily funded jointly by China, Japan, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Hossain |first=Morshed |date=22 January 2012 |title= |script-title=bn:আন্তর্জাতিক বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় হচ্ছে আনোয়ারায় |url=https://archive.prothom-alo.com/detail/news/215250 |url-status= |archive-url= |access-date=19 August 2016 |work=[[Prothom Alo]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Revival efforts==&lt;br /&gt;
During her 2010 visit to China, Prime Minister [[Sheikh Hasina]] proposed reviving the ancient university as International Pondit University, following the footsteps of the revival of the ancient [[Nalanda University]] in India. As of 2016, the concept was still stalled due to lack of funding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ds29Jun2016&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |author=Prabir Barua Chowdhury |title=Historic university lost in time |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/city/historic-university-lost-time-1247437 |work=The Daily Star |date=29 June 2016 |access-date=2016-11-18}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.buddhismandaustralia.com/ba/index.php/Pandita_Vihar_:_The_Old_University_of_Chittagong_by_Venerable_Dr._Jinabodhi_Bhikkhu |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815054945/http://www.buddhismandaustralia.com/ba/index.php/Pondit_Bihar_:_The_Old_University_of_Chittagong_by_Venerable_Dr._Jinabodhi_Bhikkhu |url-status=usurped |archive-date=August 15, 2016 |title=Pondit Bihar : The Old University of Chittagong by Venerable Dr. Jinabodhi Bhikkhu |publisher=Buddhism and Australia |date=2015-03-23 |accessdate=2016-11-18}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Oru Oorla Rendu Raja&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{translation|&#039;&#039;Two kings in a town&#039;&#039;}}) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language [[comedy film]] written and directed by [[R. Kannan]] and produced by [[S. Michael Rayappan]]. The film stars [[Vimal (actor)|Vimal]], [[Priya Anand]] and [[Soori (actor)|Soori]], while [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]], [[Anupama Kumar]] and [[Thambi Ramaiah]] form the supporting cast and [[D. Imman]] composes the film&#039;s music. The film was released on 7 November 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot== &lt;br /&gt;
Azhagu ([[Vimal (actor)|Vimal]]) and Mike ([[Soori (actor)|Soori]]) are thick friends and happy-go-lucky jobless youths who just roam around doing nothing. They meet Priya ([[Priya Anand]]) in a train while trying to escape from a few goons who were chasing them for a reason. Initially, they take Priya for a prostitute but later understand that she is a doctor. Azhagu falls for her immediately and decides that he should become an engineer so that he can marry her. Priya is saved by Azhagu from a man who tries to kill her. Azhagu then listens to her story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priya had a friend named Kalpana ([[Vishakha Singh]]), who was from a village where Priya went for a medical camp. There, she learns that the people of that village are affected by potential cancer and other effects due to the steel factory owned by Selva Vinayagam ([[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]]). Priya enters the company with the help of Kalpana, who works there. Priya gathers proof and talks with Selva to provide safety equipment to the workers so that no one gets affected further. However, Selva denies and insults Priya, who leaves the place. Back in the factory, Kalpana operates a costly machine and unfortunately gets her hand stuck in it, resulting in huge blood loss. Priya begs the owners to dismantle the machine so that Kalpana can be saved, but the owners are reluctant, and Kalpana dies as a result. Priya decides to sue the company and files a case against them. The case is being heard the next day, and if Priya makes it to court, the company will lose the case. She is being targeted by Selva&#039;s men. How Azhagu and Mike help Priya escape the goons and whether they help her win the case forms the rest of the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The story is centered on a factory in Kayalpattinam (Thoothukudi) which explores the safety of laborers in factories being at jeopardy. It was a noble effort by Kannan to have raised an awareness and caution to incorporate safety standards in order to avoid any untoward incident that may harm the laborers&#039; lives and lifestyle through this film. After the film&#039;s release, one of the most fatal incidents due to oversight in the industrial safety measures happened at Ranipet Sipcot industrial estate in Vellore district when a tank of an effluent treatment plant collapsed on the compound wall of an adjacent factory where the employees were present. 10 workers died as a result of this incident.&lt;br /&gt;

After the release of his previous directorial &#039;&#039;[[Settai (2013 film)|Settai]]&#039;&#039;, [[R. Kannan]] was approached to direct &#039;&#039;[[Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham]]&#039;&#039;, but Kannan opted out of the film as he was unhappy on first copy production agreement,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/tamil/news-interviews/Santhanam-teams-up-with-Srinath/articleshow/18623599.cms |title=Santhanam teams up with Srinath |website=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130227081612/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-02-22/news-interviews/37241440_1_santhanam-srinath-kannan |archive-date=27 February 2013 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; he then announced that his next directorial would have [[Karthi]] in lead role titled &amp;quot;Alangaram&amp;quot; but the project got shelved.

==Critical reception==&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Hindu]] wrote, &amp;quot;The film arrives close on the heels of &#039;&#039;Kaththi&#039;&#039; with its anti-corporation sentiment. To make the package look more appealing, the film has a love angle, a comedy track, and duets, unconvincing, unfunny, and pace-hampering, respectively...the crux of the film, is sandwiched between so many bad comedy set pieces that you can&#039;t help but be disappointed, as you&#039;d be when you bite through the flaky crust of a chicken puff to discover that it contains very little meat inside&amp;quot;, summing up that &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Oru Oorla Rendu Raja&#039;&#039; is that inefficient employee in the company you are uncomfortable about firing because he is such a well-meaning fellow otherwise&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/oru-oorla-rendu-raja-a-mess-of-a-message/article6574444.ece|title=Oru Oorla Rendu Raja: A mess of a message|newspaper=The Hindu|date=7 November 2014|last1=Srinivasan|first1=Sudhir}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[The Times of India]] gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Oru Oorula Rendu Raja&#039;&#039; wants to be a well intentioned message movie but sadly, the message is lost because of the lack of focus in the script.

With a weak villain and a pair of unlikely heroes, &#039;&#039;Oru Oorule...&#039;&#039; lacks the punch and fritz to make it a riveting road journey for a cause&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/A-Road-Journey-Without-a-Cause/2014/11/08/article2512335.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141112155229/http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/A-Road-Journey-Without-a-Cause/2014/11/08/article2512335.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 November 2014|title = A Road Journey Without a Cause}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Deccan Chronicle]] gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, &amp;quot;the film fails to impress because of a lacklustre script and screenplay.

Bangladesh posted its first ODI win against Kenya, in India. thanks largely to [[Mohammad Rafique (cricketer)|Mohammad Rafique]], who contributed a fiery 77 runs and took 3 wickets. He put on 137 for the first wicket with [[Athar Ali Khan]] whose own contribution was 47.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66145.html Bangladesh v Kenya (17 May 1998)], Retrieved on (27 January 2008)&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In October 1998, Bangladesh hosted (but did not participate in) the first [[1998 ICC KnockOut Trophy|ICC KnockOut Trophy]] ever held (the event later became the ICC Champions Trophy), a knock-out ODI tournament featuring all the test playing nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh took part in each of the [[1979 ICC Trophy|1979]], [[1982 ICC Trophy|1982]], [[1986 ICC Trophy|1986]], [[1990 ICC Trophy|1990]], and [[1994 ICC Trophy|1994]] editions of the ICC Trophy, and won the trophy in [[1997 ICC Trophy|1997]], in the process qualified for the 1999 World Cup. The then General Secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board, [[Aminul Huq Moni]] took the initiative to install [[AstroTurf|Astro Turf]] in [[Abahani Limited (Dhaka)|Abahani]] Cricket Ground and [[Bangabandhu National Stadium]] so that the local players had two full seasons to prepare on the type of pitch they would playing in ICC Trophy in 1997.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=1 June 2015 |title=Former BCB general secretary dies in Dhaka |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/former-bcb-general-secretary-dies-in-dhaka-883039 |access-date=16 January 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Bangladesh also became a regular ICC member with the right to play ODIs and started hosting bilateral and triangular ODI tournaments. Earlier, in February Dhaka hosted the third and final SAARC cricket tournament. Bangladesh played in its first World Cup in [[1999 ICC Cricket World Cup|England in 1999]] and recorded their first win in a World Cup match against Scotland. Later on, Bangladesh created an enormous upset by beating [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] by 62 runs in the group match at [[County Ground, Northampton|Northampton]]. Bangladesh made 9/223 from its full 50 overs, and in reply, Pakistan could only manage 161 due to timely run-outs by wicket-keeper [[Khaled Mashud]] and some tight bowling by [[Khaled Mahmud]], who took 3/31 from 10 overs. Mahmud was judged the man of the match. Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super Six round due to defeats in three of its five matches. However, the win over Pakistan, who finished runners-up to [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], helped Bangladesh to gain test playing status the following year. Bangladesh had sacked coach [[Gordon Greenidge]], who had steered the team through the [[1997 ICC Trophy]] and into the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]] on the morning of the match.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;toothless tigers&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2007, after four years as coach, Mukil Mathavan chose not to extend his contract, but agreed to remain in charge until the end of May, to allow the BCB to find and appoint his successor and also to guide the team through the [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007|two Tests and three ODIs at home against India]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvind/content/story/291550.html|title=Whatmore quits as Bangladesh coach|work=Cricinfo |date=20 April 2007}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; After Bangladesh had helped knock India out of the tournament, the series was seen as an opportunity for India to exact revenge. India won the three-match ODI series 2–0, one being washed out. Bangladesh had not played Test cricket since April 2006. The first Test was shortened due to rain and drawn, but India won the second by their largest margin ever (by an innings and 239 runs).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/347035.html |title=Bangladesh v India, 2007 |first=Utpal |last=Shuvro |publisher=Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanac |date=19 April 2008 |access-date=14 February 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; In the aftermath Habibul Bashar, who had previously resigned as ODI captain, was replaced as captain by 22-year-old Mohammad Ashraful in all forms of the game.

&lt;br /&gt;
Before the [[2007 ICC World Twenty20|World T20]], Bangladesh played two T20Is in Kenya. Here, they enjoyed victory over Kenya, but lost to Pakistan.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/series/306979.html|title=Results – Global – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; South Africa hosted the [[2007 ICC World Twenty20]] in September.

===Under Jamie Siddons (2007–2011)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late October, BCB appointed [[Jamie Siddons]], an Australian cricketer, as their head coach.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/bangladesh/7066384.stm |title=Siddons signs as Bangladesh coach |publisher=BBC Sport |date=31 October 2007 |access-date=19 February 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; At the end of 2007, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in New Zealand in 2007-08|Bangladesh toured New Zealand]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/300412.html|title=Bangladesh tour of New Zealand|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; They were soundly beaten 3–0 in the one-dayers. Bangladesh started the new year with the Test leg of the tour. These matches were also one-sided, where Bangladesh lost the series 2–0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[South African cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007-08|In February–March 2008, South Africa]] clean-swept Bangladesh across formats. The tour included two Tests and three ODIs. However, in the 1st Test, Bangladesh secured a first innings lead of 22 runs after restricting South Africa for 170.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvrsa/content/series/323940.html|title=South Africa tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh then defeated [[Irish cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007-08|non-Test-playing Ireland 3–0 in an ODI series at home]] in the same month, ending a run of 14 losses.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvireland/content/series/335630.html|title=Ireland tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bangladeshi cricket team in Pakistan in 2008|Pakistan hosted Bangladesh]] for 5 ODIs and a T20I in April. It was a miserable tour for Bangladesh where they lost all games.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakvbdesh/content/series/343065.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Pakistan|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Bangladesh lost both first-round games against Pakistan and India at a [[2008 Kitply Cup|triangular ODI tournament]] held in Bangladesh in June.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/kitplycup/engine/series/345463.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – Kitply Cup 2008 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[2008 Asia Cup]] held in Pakistan, Bangladesh won their first group stage game against associate [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|UAE]]. Even though they lost to Sri Lanka in the next group stage match, Bangladesh reached the super four stage, before losing the next three games against India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asiacup/engine/series/298014.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – Asia Cup – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were later [[Bangladeshi cricket team in Australia in 2008|got whitewashed 0–3 in the ODIs during their tour to Australia]] in August–September.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ausvbdesh/content/series/336196.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Australia|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October, [[New Zealand cricket team in Bangladesh in 2008–09|New Zealand toured Bangladesh]] for three ODIs and two Tests. Shortly before the tour, fourteen Bangladesh players left to play in the [[Indian Cricket League]] and were subsequently banned for ten years. Six of the players were centrally contracted, including former captain [[Habibul Bashar]]. With a less experienced team than usual and a poor record against New Zealand, Bangladesh was expected to lose heavily. After winning the opening ODI (their first ODI victory ever over New Zealand), Bangladesh went on to lose the series 2–1.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=nz08&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/431964.html |title=Bangladesh v New Zealand 2008–09 |first=Utpal |last=Shuvro |publisher=Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanac |date=29 October 2009 |access-date=15 February 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; New Zealand won the first Test by three wickets in what their coach, [[John Bracewell]], described as &amp;quot;one of the great character wins&amp;quot;.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/431973.html |title=First Test: Bangladesh v New Zealand 2008–09 |first=Utpal |last=Shuvro |publisher=Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanac |date=29 October 2009 |access-date=15 February 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; The second Test ended up in a rain curtailed draw, sealing the series victory for New Zealand (1–0). But in the process [[Shakib Al Hasan]] emerged as an all-rounder. Having previously been selected primarily as a batsman, he went on to take the best bowling figures in an innings for a Bangladesh player, 7 wickets for 36 runs, beating the record set by Enamul Haque Jr three years earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in South Africa in 2008-09|Bangladesh toured South Africa]]. They lost all their matches, including the only T20I match, two of the three ODIs (the third being washed out due to rain) and both Tests by innings.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/rsavbdesh/content/series/350336.html|title=Bangladesh tour of South Africa|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December, however, Bangladesh bounced back from the previous lacklustre performances by threatening to win the first Test match against Sri Lanka at home by chasing down the highest fourth innings total of 513. Though they fell 107 runs short, their performances were praised.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvsl/content/story/384811.html|title=Brave Bangladesh fall 107 short|work=Cricinfo |date=31 December 2008}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; But in the second test match of this home series in January, Bangladesh succumbed to a 465 runs defeat, conceding the series 2–0 to Sri Lanka.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvsl/content/series/378736.html|title=Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Then Zimbabwe joined the hosts and the Lankan team for a tri-series ODI tournament, which proved to be more evenly matched than was expected. In the first match, Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by an excellent performance, but then was defeated by Sri Lanka by a huge margin, leaving Bangladesh needing to win with a bonus point against the Lankans in the last group match to go through to the finals to join the Lankans. In a reduced match due to rain interruptions, Bangladesh recorded their second ODI win over Sri Lanka to reach the finals. However, at the Finals, they were beaten by the Lankans who claimed the Series.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/tri-bdesh/content/story/386587.html|title=Murali cameo clinches humdinger|work=Cricinfo |date=16 January 2009}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]] held in England, Bangladesh crashed out of the tournament at the group stage after losing both games against India and associate Ireland.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wt202009/engine/series/335113.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – ICC World Twenty20 2009 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The aftermath of the losses at the global event, the selectors appointed Mashrafe Mortaza as the new captain of the team for the [[Bangladeshi cricket team in West Indies in 2009|tour to the West Indies]] so that Ashraful could focus on his batting.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=23 June 2009 |title=Mortaza named Bangladesh captain |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mortaza-named-bangladesh-captain-410237 |access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; The two Test series was played amidst controversy when a pay dispute between the West Indian players and the West Indies Cricket Board led a number of West Indian players boycotting the series, which forced the West Indies to select a number of inexperienced players as replacements.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=9 July 2009 |title=The origins of the issue |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-origins-of-the-issue-413458 |access-date=21 July 2009}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Bangladesh went on to win both of the Tests, winning the first Test by 95 runs&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url= http://www.cricinfo.com/wivbdesh2009/engine/current/match/401071.html|title=Scorecard: West Indies v Bangladesh, 1st Test, 9–13 July 2009|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=21 July 2009}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; and the second by four wickets.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wivbdesh2009/engine/current/match/401072.html|title=Scorecard: West Indies v Bangladesh, 2nd Test, 17–20 July 2009|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=21 July 2009}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; In the process they achieved their first overseas Test series victory.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Veera |first=Sriram |date=20 July 2009 |title=Raqibul and Shakib inspire first overseas series win |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/bangladesh-tour-of-west-indies-2009-380896/west-indies-vs-bangladesh-2nd-test-401072/match-report-4 |access-date=21 July 2009}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In January 2010, Bangladesh hosted a tri-series ODI tournament with India and Sri Lanka. They failed to win a match (in 4 matches) and went out of the tournament.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/table/series/8631/season/2010/tri-nation-tournament-in-bangladesh|title=Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh Table – 2010|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; That was followed by a two-match Test series against India at home, which Bangladesh lost 2–0.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshvind2010/content/series/434243.html|title=India tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During full away tour in February 2010 against New Zealand, Bangladesh lost all matches (only T20I, three ODIs and only Test).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/nzvbdesh2010/content/series/423769.html|title=Bangladesh tour of New Zealand|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February–March 2010, [[England Cricket Team|England]] visited Bangladesh to play [[English cricket team in Bangladesh in 2009–10|three ODIs and two Test matches]]. Bangladesh lost all their ODIs and Tests in the series.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bdeshveng2010/content/series/426373.html|title=England tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May, Bangladesh took part in the [[2010 World Twenty20]]. They lost all their matches at group stage (against Pakistan and Australia) and failed to progress to the Super Eights stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May and June, Bangladesh played two Test matches [[Bangladeshi cricket team in England in 2010|against England away]], losing both, although [[Tamim Iqbal]] scored two centuries in the series.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;espncricinfo.com1&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-bangladesh-2010/content/series/426339.html|title=Bangladesh tour of England, Ireland and Scotland|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between the Tests and ODIs against England, Bangladesh took part in the [[2010 Asia Cup]] during June, but lost all their matches vs India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the ODI series, England comfortably won the first match. However, in the second match at Bristol, Bangladesh beat England for the first time in international cricket (England were the only Test playing nation yet to be beaten by Bangladesh), bowling England out in the final over to win by five runs.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://m.cricinfo.com/s/2497/MatchCenter?countryId=25&amp;amp;amp;country=bangladesh&amp;amp;amp;matchId=426404&amp;amp;amp;tournamentName=NatWest%20Series%20%5BBangladesh%20in%20England%5D&amp;amp;amp;matchTitle=2nd%20ODI&amp;amp;amp;team1=England&amp;amp;amp;team2=Bangladesh&amp;amp;amp;startDate=Jul%2010%2C%202010&amp;amp;amp;result=true|title=Live cricket scores, commentary, match coverage – Cricket news, statistics – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However England won the third ODI at Birmingham and sealed the series 2–1.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;espncricinfo.com1&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt; Bangladesh extended this tour in Europe to play a 2-match ODIs series against Ireland. The series was shared (1–1). The one-off ODI against Scotland was abandoned due to heavy rains. Later Netherlands won the last one-off ODI of the tour.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;espncricinfo.com1&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In October [[New Zealand cricket team in Bangladesh in 2010–11|New Zealand went to Bangladesh]] for five ODIs.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-new-zealand-2010/content/series/476044.html|title=New Zealand tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Mortaza suffered an injury in the first match and Shakib took over as captain.

In February and March 2011, Bangladesh co-hosted the [[2011 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] with India and Sri Lanka. Bangladesh lost the tournament opener against India, before the win against Ireland. The next match was won by West Indies after dismissing Bangladesh for 58 runs, the team&#039;s lowest score in ODIs and a record low for a Full Member at the World Cup.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Monga |first=Sidharth |date=6 March 2011 |title=&#039;Team devastated by performance&#039;&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;– Siddons |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/world-cup-2011-bangladesh-are-devastated-jamie-siddons-504517 |access-date=6 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; The West Indies and Bangladesh team buses were stoned as they left the ground,&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Monga |first=Sidharth |date=4 March 2011 |title=West Indies team bus stoned in Dhaka |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-v-west-indies-west-indies-team-bus-stoned-in-dhaka-504279 |access-date=6 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; and so was Shakib&#039;s house.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Monga |first=Sidharth |date=6 March 2011 |title=Shakib, Siddons hit back at criticism from former players |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/world-cup-2011-bangladesh-captain-and-coach-hit-back-at-criticism-from-former-players-504533 |access-date=6 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; In the match against England, Bangladesh&#039;s score was at one point 169/8 but tail ender 58 run partnership brought victory for the team.

&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh later defeated the Netherlands, making their final match of the group stage a must-win contest. Against South Africa, Bangladesh succumbed to their second-largest  defeat in ODIs and became the first Full Member team to be bowled out for under 100 twice in World Cups, thereby failing to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Purohit |first=Abhishek |date=19 March 2011 |title=Abject Bangladesh surrender meekly |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-2010-11-381449/bangladesh-vs-south-africa-39th-match-group-b-433597/match-report |access-date=20 March 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During his three-and-a-half-year tenure as coach Siddons introduced a full coaching staff for the first time, including coaches for bowling, strength and conditioning, and fielding. Under Siddons Bangladesh&#039;s reliance on spin bowlers continued, partly because pitches in the country encourage spin bowlers, and frequently only two seam bowlers were used in a match. Siddons was credited with helping the team improve mentally.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Choudhury |first=Abu |date=19 June 2011 |title=Lessons from Siddons |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/abu-choudhury-what-bangladesh-can-learn-from-jamie-siddons-time-as-coach-519381 |access-date=20 June 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh&#039;s struggles at the international level have been epitomised by the ineffectiveness of their fast bowlers. Between January 2010 and August 2011, they took 37&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;wickets in 8&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Tests at an average of 67.67, the worst out of the nine teams playing regular Test cricket in this period.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |date=12 August 2011 |title=England&#039;s pace pack, and Johnson&#039;s Asia heroics |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-numbers-game-england-s-pace-pack-and-johnson-s-asia-heroics-527068 |access-date=9 September 2011 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Under Richard Pybus (2012) ===&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2012 Bangladesh appointed England born [[Richard Pybus]] as their new head coach for two-years, replacing [[Stuart Law]] who stepped down from the post in April.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/may/30/richard-prybus-bangladesh-cricket-coach|title=Bangladesh appoint Richard Pybus as new head coach on two-year deal |date=30 May 2012 |work=The Guardian}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in Ireland and Netherlands in 2012|Bangladesh toured Ireland and Netherlands]]. Bangladesh clean swept the three-match T20I series becoming no. 4 in T20I rankings surpassing Pakistan and Australia. In the same month, Bangladesh lost a T20I against Scotland and shared the two-match T20I series against Netherlands by 1–1.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ireland-nl-v-bangladesh-2012/content/series/567068.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Ireland and Netherlands|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh crashed out of the [[2012 ICC World Twenty20]] by losing to New Zealand and Pakistan in the first round.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/engine/series/531597.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – ICC World Twenty20 2012 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After only four months at the helm, Pybus notified the BCB of his unwillingness to continue due to issues with his contract and interference from administration.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/587679.html|title=Pybus to quit as Bangladesh coach|work=Cricinfo |date=23 October 2012}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Under him Bangladesh won 4 T20Is (in 8).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Under Shane Jurgensen (2012–2014) ===&lt;br /&gt;
The team&#039;s bowling coach and Australian [[Shane Jurgensen]] was appointed as the interim Bangladesh coach for [[West Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2012-13|the series against West Indies at home in November–December 2012]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/story/587982.html|title=Jurgensen is interim Bangladesh coach|work=Cricinfo |date=24 October 2012}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; The home team lost the two Tests, but won the ODI series 3–2, before losing the only T20I.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-west-indies-2012/content/series/586566.html|title=West Indies tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2013, BCB announced that Jurgensen will continue as Bangladesh&#039;s head coach for the rest of the year.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=9 February 2013 |title=Shane Jurgensen becomes full-time Bangladesh coach – Cricket – ESPN Cricinfo |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/shane-jurgensen-becomes-full-time-bangladesh-coach-604284 |access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Bangladeshi cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2012-13|Bangladesh toured Sri Lanka]] in March 2013 for a full series. In the 1st Test at Galle [[Mushfiqur Rahim]] scored the first double century for Bangladesh in test cricket,&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/602472.html|title=1st Test: Sri Lanka v Bangladesh at Galle, Mar 8–12, 2013 – Cricket Scorecard – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; and [[Mohammad Ashraful]] chipped in with a handy 190. They were able to draw the 1st Test against Sri Lanka, the first time ever against the island nation.&lt;br /&gt;
Sri Lanka won the 2nd Test by 7 wickets and the two match test series 1–0. The three match ODI series was shared 1–1 since the 2nd ODI being washed out. Bangladesh lost the only T20I too.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-bangladesh-2013/content/series/602463.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then [[Bangladeshi cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2013|they toured Zimbabwe]] from April–May. Bangladesh lost the 1st Test by 335 runs, which marked Zimbabwe&#039;s biggest win. Later they won the 2nd Test by 173 runs to share the series with Zimbabwe (1–1). Bangladesh lost the ODI series (1–2) before sharing the T20I series (1–1).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe-v-bangladesh-2013/content/series/623566.html|title=Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later in October–November 2013, [[New Zealand cricket team in Bangladesh in 2013-14|New Zealand toured Bangladesh]] for a full series. Bangladesh achieved a new feat sharing the two-match test series (0–0) on home soil against New Zealand, the first against the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was followed by 3–0 series whitewash win for Bangladesh in ODIs, before losing the only T20I.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-new-zealand-2013-14/content/series/668933.html|title=New Zealand tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sri Lankan cricket team in Bangladesh in 2013-14|Sri Lanka toured Bangladesh]] for full series from January–February 2014. Bangladesh slip to their fourth-heaviest defeat in their Test history after losing the 1st Test by an innings and 248 runs. The 2nd test was a high scoring draw and Bangladesh lost the series (0–1).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/690341.html|title=Sri Lanka in Bangladesh Test Series|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Later they got whitewashed in the T20I (0–2)&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/690343.html|title=Sri Lanka in Bangladesh T20I Series|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; and the ODI (0–3)&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/690345.html|title=Sri Lanka in Bangladesh ODI Series|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was followed up by a series of defeats (0–4) against Asian Cricketing nations (India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) at the league stage of [[2014 Asia Cup]] conducted on their home soil and Bangladesh finished at the bottom of the table.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2014/engine/series/671665.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – Asia Cup – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Associate Afghanistan&#039;s win against Bangladesh was their first ODI victory against a Test-playing nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh ended their 11-match win-less run in 2014 defeating two associates (Afghanistan and Nepal) in consecutive T20Is at the [[2014 ICC World Twenty20]] Group stage. Their loss to another associate, Hong Kong, did not prevent them reaching the Super 10 stage. However at the Super 10 stage, Bangladesh lost all (0–4) their matches against West Indies, India, Pakistan and Australia.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-t20/engine/series/628368.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – World T20 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The coach resigned from his position less than a month after the World T20, where the team won just two out of seven matches. Under Jurgensen, Bangladesh won 1 Test (in 10), 8 ODIs (in 21) and 3 T20Is (in 14). Highlights of his tenure were the Test win after 4 years (against Zimbabwe), shared two-test series against New Zealand at home, 3–0 ODI clean sweep against New Zealand at home and securing 2 draws in Tests against Sri Lanka (away and home).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=28 April 2014 |title=Shane Jurgensen resigns as Bangladesh coach – Cricket – ESPN Cricinfo |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/shane-jurgensen-resigns-as-bangladesh-coach-740185 |access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Under Chandika Hathurusingha (2014–2017) ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mushfiqur_Rahim_2009_(cropped).jpg|thumb|[[Mushfiqur Rahim]] captained Bangladesh in their historic 100th ODI win over Sri Lanka and their first test win against England and Australia.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BCB appointed [[Chandika Hathurusingha]], a former Sri Lanka batsman, as Bangladesh&#039;s head coach for a two-year period.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;espncricinfo.com&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=19 May 2014 |title=Hathurusingha named Bangladesh coach |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/hathurusingha-named-bangladesh-coach-745747 |access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first series under the new coach was [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2014|against India at home]]. Bangladesh lost the first &amp;amp;amp; second ODI comprehensively and the 3rd was washed out and lost the series 2–0.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-india-2014/content/series/743887.html|title=India tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In August 2014, [[Bangladeshi cricket team in the West Indies in 2014|Bangladesh toured West Indies]]  for a full series.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-v-bangladesh-2014/content/series/730263.html|title=Bangladesh tour of West Indies|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; West Indies beat Bangladesh 3–0 in the ODI series extending Bangladesh&#039;s win-less ODI run for 13 matches. In the 2nd ODI Bangladesh was bundled out for 70 which is the 3rd lowest total for Bangladesh. Bangladesh lost the match by 177 Runs. Only the T20I match was abandoned. Further, West Indies white-washed Bangladesh in the Test series 2–0, defeating Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the 1st Test and by 296 runs in the 2nd Test respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bangladesh finally emerged victorious during the [[Zimbabwean cricket team in Bangladesh in 2014–15|Zimbabwe tour in Bangladesh]] whitewashing the visitors 3–0 during the Test series. Bangladesh claimed No. 9 ranking with the series victory pushing Zimbabwe to No. 10. In the ODI series, Bangladesh whitewashed Zimbabwe 5–0.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-zimbabwe-2014-15/content/series/760771.html|title=Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2015: Rise in ODI====&lt;br /&gt;
At the turn of the new year, Bangladeshi all-rounder [[Shakib Al Hasan]] emerged as the number one all-rounder in all formats of the game. This was the first time that any player ever achieved such a feat, after the ICC introduced ranking system.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;news.com.au&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/shakib-al-hasan-just-may-be-the-worlds-best-cricketer/story-fndpt0dy-1227184515219|title=Shakib Al Hasan tops ICC all-rounder rankings in all three formats|date=14 January 2015|work=NewsComAu|access-date=9 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In April–May 2015, [[Pakistani cricket team in Bangladesh in 2014–15|Pakistan was in Bangladesh]] for a full series.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-pakistan-2015/content/series/856311.html|title=Pakistan tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Bangladesh won the ODI series 3–0 recording their first series victory over Pakistanis. The only T20I was also won by Bangladesh. However Pakistan claimed the Test series victory (1–0), by drawing the first test and winning the second test by 328 runs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A full strength [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2015|Indian team arrived in Bangladesh]] in June 2015, for a one-off Test and 3 ODIs, where the Indians were expected to win comfortably. During the Test, the Indian team was too strong for Bangladesh where they were enforced to follow on. But the heavy rain interruptions denied a decisive result (only 184.2 overs were played). However excellent performances by the batsmen and ODI debutant bowler [[Mustafizur Rahman]] had the tables turned over as Bangladesh convincingly won the first two ODIs and for the first time, won a bilateral series against India by a margin of 2–1.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-india-2015/content/series/870723.html|title=India tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During July 2015 [[South African cricket team in Bangladesh in 2015|South Africa visited Bangladesh]] for 2 T20Is, 3 ODIs and 2 Tests.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-south-africa-2015/content/series/817095.html|title=South Africa tour of Bangladesh|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; South Africa whitewashed Bangladesh in the T20I series (2–0) and took the lead of ODI series winning the first match. However Bangladesh came back strongly and completely dominated South Africa in the following two matches, showing excellent performance in all three departments where none of the team in any match could reach 200 runs in an innings in the whole ODI series, to win the series by a margin of 2–1, which marked the first series win ever against South Africa.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |date=15 July 2015 |title=Bangladesh seal series with nine-wicket win |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/south-africa-tour-of-bangladesh-2015-817095/bangladesh-vs-south-africa-3rd-odi-817211/match-report |access-date=7 March 2016}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Two match test series was shared (0–0) after heavy monsoon rains curtailed both games (played 221&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/11365/report/817213/Bangladesh-vs-South-Africa-1st-Test-south-africa-tour-of-bangladesh|title=1st Test, South Africa tour of Bangladesh at Chittagong, Jul 21–25 2015 – Match Report|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; and 88.1 overs&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/11365/report/817215/day/4|title=2nd Test, South Africa tour of Bangladesh at Dhaka, Jul 30 – Aug 3 2015 – Match Report|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; respectively).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strong performances shown by Bangladesh in ODIs since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, winning ODI series against Pakistan, India and South Africa, helped it jump from ninth to seventh in the ODI Team Rankings. Since they were ranked No. 7 in ODIs on 30 September 2015 which was the cut-off date, they have qualified for the [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy]] replacing West Indies.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/181968|title=Teams confirmed for ICC Champions Trophy 2017|website=www.icc-cricket.com}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In January 2016, [[Zimbabwean cricket team in Bangladesh in 2015-16|Zimbabwe toured Bangladesh]] for another T20I series consisting of 4 games. Again the series was shared 2–2.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-zimbabwe-jan-2015-16/content/series/958411.html|title=Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh [Jan 2016]|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The golden run continued to Bangladesh when they became runner up of [[2016 Asia Cup]], played on home soil.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2015-16/content/series/966595.html|title=Asia Cup|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; They lost the first match at group stage to India. Then they won against [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|UAE]] and then Sri Lanka (reigning World T20 champions and Asian champions at that time). They also beat Pakistan to reach the Asia Cup final for the second time. However they were again comprehensively beaten by India in the final.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/966595/scorecard/966765/Bangladesh-vs-India-Final-Asia-Cup|title=Final (N), Asia Cup at Dhaka, Mar 6 2016 – Match Summary|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However Bangladesh did not have a significant success during the [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]] held in India in March–April 2016.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/series/901359.html|title=World T20|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Wins against two associates (Netherlands and Oman) and the washed out game against another associate (Ireland) at the group stage saw them reach the Super 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the group stage match against Oman, Tamim Iqbal became first Bangladeshi batsman to score a T20I century and at least a century in all formats. They returned home losing all four games at the Super 10 stage against full members Pakistan, Australia, India and New Zealand.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/engine/series/901359.html?view=pointstable|title=Points Table – World T20 – ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Before Bangladesh had even secured Test status, cricket fans in the country took the game seriously; when the team lost an ODI against Kenya in March 1999, several hundred fans protested outside the offices of the [[Bangladesh Cricket Board]] (BCB).&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/151605.html |title=Meril International Tournament 1998–99, fifth match: Bangladesh v Kenya |work=Cricinfo |publisher=Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanac |access-date=10 March 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; On learning of Bangladesh&#039;s promotion to Test status, thousands of people celebrated on the streets. Then Prime Minister [[Sheikh Hasina]] remarked that &amp;quot;I can&#039;t express my joy in words at this happiest hour of the nation&amp;quot;.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;happiest hour&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/807107.stm |title=Bangladesh delight at Test status |work=BBC News|date=26 June 2000 |access-date=21 April 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; At the time cricket was the second-most popular sport in the country behind football.&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;happiest hour&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt; When Bangladesh began its first Test match on 10 November 2000 at [[Bangabandhu National Stadium]] in Dhaka, the stadium was nearly full on the first day as around 40,000&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;people watched the team take on India.

The people of Bangladesh are referred as &amp;quot;the most passionate cricket fans&amp;quot; among the cricket world. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans sometimes take to the streets in celebration. When Bangladesh defeated India in the 2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there being a ban on public gatherings at the time.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6536593.stm |title=Cricket win prompts Dhaka parties |work=BBC News|date=8 April 2007 |access-date=10 March 2011}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Although fans are jubilant in victory, they can also be vocal in defeat.

==Team colours and sponsorship==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bangladesh Team Returning to Dressing Room.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Bangladesh cricket players against Zimbabwe in 2009.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In Test cricket, Bangladesh wears [[cricket whites]], with the BCB logo on the left chest and the sponsor&#039;s logo on the right chest. Fielders wear a dark green cap or a white wide brim sunhat. The helmets are also dark green. In limited overs cricket, Bangladesh wears a green uniform with red being the secondary colour and the BCB logo on chest and the sponsor&#039;s logo on the centre and &amp;quot;BANGLADESH&amp;quot; written underneath in white letters, with the fielders wearing a green baseball cap with red accents or a green wide-brimmed hat. During [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] tournaments, the sponsor&#039;s logo is placed on the left sleeve.  In the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], Bangladesh wore an olive green uniform with yellow accents and a horizontal stripe with tiger-stripe motif on the chest.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/181003|title=Classic World Cup Kits – 1999|access-date=11 September 2018}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hari Krishan Lal Bhagat&#039;&#039;&#039; (4 April 1921 {{endash}} 29 October 2005) was an Indian [[politician]] of the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] party. He served as the Deputy Mayor and Mayor of [[Delhi]], the Chief Whip of [[Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee]] (DPCC), and as a six-time MP and Union minister for 22 years. Hailed as the “Uncrowned King Of Delhi&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Kingmaker&amp;quot;, Bhagat was commonly known for being a successful loyalist to [[Indira Gandhi]] and maintained unparalleled influence in Delhi and the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] throughout the 1970s and 80s. During his time as a politician, Bhagat reigned massive influence in Delhi, and it&#039;s often alleged that no Delhi politician could start their careers without the approval of Bhagat, thus giving him the name &amp;quot;Kingmaker&amp;quot;. Bhagat&#039;s career reached its peak in the [[1984 Indian general election|1984 election]], in which his victory for the East Delhi seat was second largest out of all 543 victories in the entire country. Throughout his career in politics, Bhagat held several different ministerial roles. Bhagat&#039;s career declined in the early 1990s after he was named in several commissions investigating the role of Congress politicians during the [[1984 anti-Sikh riots]]. His alleged role in the riots is controversial, though he was cleared by the government in two trials in the 1990s and early 2000s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=KAUR |first=JASKARAN |title=TWENTY YEARS OF IMPUNITY |date=October 2006 |publisher=Ensaaf |isbn=978-0-97870-730-9 |location=Portland, USA |pages=80+}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Born in West Punjab, British India (now Pakistan), Bhagat moved to Delhi in 1947 following [[Partition of India|partition]] and quickly became active in the politics of the area. A strong [[Indira Gandhi]] loyalist, and strong leader in Delhi in the 1970s and 1980s,&amp;lt;ref name=Outlook&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/congress-old-fox-in-delhi-hkl-bhagat-dead/332025|title = Congress &#039;Old Fox&#039; in Delhi HKL Bhagat dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bhagat won six consecutive elections by large margins, and was responsible for a Congress comeback in the 1980 and 1983 elections in Delhi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Outlook&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He was known to have a strong group in the Congress Party, and won his first [[Lok Sabha]] election in 1971 from the [[East Delhi constituency]] in Delhi. He grew in political stature after Congress&#039; victory in the local elections of 1983 which led him to be known as the ‘Uncrowned King of Delhi’ for many a years. He held ministerial positions, including of Information and Broadcasting, Parliamentary Affairs and Law, and made the state-run TV &amp;quot;[[Doordarshan]]&amp;quot; the Congress party&#039;s mouthpiece during the mid to late 1980s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2018-12-24 |title=Shri H.K.L. Bhagat MP biodata East Delhi {{!}} ENTRANCE INDIA |url=https://entranceindia.com/election-and-politics/shri-h-k-l-bhagat-member-of-parliament-mp-from-east-delhi-delhi-biodata/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhagat&#039;s career declined after losing from East Delhi in 1991. Towards the end of his political career, he was named by the [[Nanavati Commission]] for an alleged involvement in the [[1984 Anti-Sikh Riots]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Outlook&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The commission did not recommend any action against Bhagat when it was published in 2005, due to his acquittal in other court cases and his poor health at the time. Based on the recommendation of the Nanavati Commission, the government ultimately declined to prosecute Bhagat because of his poor health by that time and in which he died 8 months later. According to the Nanavati Commission, Bhagat and Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, P.G. Gavai, visited areas affected by violence for about 2 and a half hours on 2 November 1984. During the riots, a local councilor in Delhi and 5 other persons visited the residence of Bhagat, raising their concerns of the violence. Bhagat allegedly told them he was making efforts to provide compensation to victims of the riots in [[Trilokpuri Assembly constituency|Trilokpuri]] and asked for affidavits by them to declare him innocent along with other Congress leaders.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Outlook&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He was acquitted by the courts in both cases citing lack of evidence as many witnesses including his security personnel testifying that Bhagat was next to late PM Indira Gandhi&#039;s body for 3 days and did not leave her premises. The then Lieutenant Governor of Delhi also testified to Nanavati commission that HKL Bhagat called him multiple times asking for the Army to be brought in. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhagat&#039;s alleged role in the riots made him a target for [[Khalistan movement|Sikh Militants]], and was on a hit list of Sikh assassins [[Sukhdev Singh Sukha]] and [[Harjinder Singh Jinda]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=NANAVATI |first=G.T |title=NANAVATI COMMISSION OF INQUIRY (1984 ANTI-SIKH RIOTS) REPORT |publisher=Government of India |date=9 February 2005 |pages=88–186}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1984 election, Bhagat won the East Delhi district once again, this time with 73% of the vote: the second largest victory in the country. Another victory was scored by him in 1989, but the emergence of numerous local and national political had resulted in Bhagat and the Congress vote being wrested by other parties, decreasing his vote share. He ran for a final time in 1991, but the fallout of reports over his actions in the 1984 riots, as well as a general decline of the Congress party post-Gandhi had seen Bhagat defeated, after 11 years of direct rule, and 17 non-continuous years of power as an MP for East Delhi alone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhagat began to suffer from a decline in health following his leave from Congress in 1997. Bhagat died in a hospital after prolonged illness and he was suffering from [[Alzheimer&#039;s disease]]. He is survived by his son, DPCC gen secretary Deepak Bhagat. &lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Neihsial&#039;&#039;&#039; is an ethnic group found in [[Northeast India|northeastern]] India and parts of [[Myanmar]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Esel Neihsial |url=http://singngil.blogspot.in/2012/08/who-are-neihsial.html |title=Who Are Neihsial? |publisher=Singngil.blogspot.in |date=2012-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140310041321/http://singngil.blogspot.com/2012/08/who-are-neihsial.html |archive-date=2014-03-10}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Members of this group are largely concentrated in the [[Churachandpur district|Churachandpur]], [[Senapati district|Senapati]],  [[Chandel district|Chandel]] District and Tamenglong district of the Indian state of [[Manipur]]. There is also a sizable population in the neighboring [[Chin State]] of [[Burma|Myanmar]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Neihsial speak a Tibeto-Burman language which is unique and different from the [[Vaiphei people|Vaiphei]] and [[Gangte people|Gangte]] tribal dialects. Some of the Neihsial are scattered among the Vaiphei, Gangte, [[Paite people|Paite]] and [[Thadou people|Thadou]] tribes in India, where as a large number of significant proportion speak the Neihsial dialect and followed its traditions. The word Neihsial is being spell in various variations such as Neihsiel and Neihsel due to others dialects and literature influences.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Neihsial, Mung, &amp;quot;Neihsial&amp;quot;, p.1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Full citation needed|date=July 2023}} Currently, the Neihsial are not recognized as a tribe in India. Instead, the Neihsial are classified under the nomenclature [[Zo people|ZOMI and KUKI]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Neihsial practice a subsistence form of agriculture, Jhum or [[slash-and-burn]] cultivation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Origin==&lt;br /&gt;
The meaning associated behind the word “Neihsial” is a combination of the words: &#039;neih&#039; means to have/possess or owned and &#039;sial&#039; means mithun (name of animal) or to boast. Scholars believe that the name was derived from the phrase &amp;quot;Owner of many mithun&amp;quot; or “boasting of wealth.”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pa Gho Khan Dal, Guite Khang Thu, Kalemyo, April,1986, p.15&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Full citation needed|date=July 2023}} As is the case with other neighboring tribes, the genesis of Neihsial cannot be effectively traced and produced, due to the lack of written historical evidence. The various Neihsial clans are scattered amongst various other Zo ethnic dailects, such as Gangte, Thadou and Paite. But one thing remains certain. That, they have lineal connection with the Vaiphei speaking group is undeniable as various forms of customary practices such as the payment of sating (meat) or elder brother&#039;s portion of meat have been attributed to the Khaute/Khaupi elders . Mentions were also made by many other researchers of which mention be made by the &#039;&#039;Lotjem&#039;&#039; clan of the Thadou speaking tribe describing the &#039;&#039;Neihsial Pa&#039;&#039; (pa stand as father/man) as &amp;quot;Sakhaupi Kuohpa&amp;quot; which means a man with a big pouch. Through the local traditions and oral traditions it was known that the cruelties and hardships their ancestor suffered in the Kale-Chindwin valley at the hands of the &#039;&#039;Kawls&#039;&#039; (Burmans) were so severe that it led to the first wave of migration straight into the Arakans in about the year A.D. 1000. The second wave moved over to the Chin hills during A.D. 1200–1400 taking shelter in whatever shelter was available—tick woods, crests of rocks and even caves, and they referred to one such big cave where they took shelter known as {{Transliteration|mis|khuul}}.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Neihsial, Tualchin, “The Origin and Early History of the Zoumis from Kawlzang Settlement to Occupation of&lt;br /&gt;
Chin Hills”, p. 5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;{{Full citation needed|date=July 2023}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Neihsial tribe is a composition of &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;bawngthum&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; meaning three groups of clans namely The Nunthuk clans, The Tungling Clans and the Haulai clans. The Nunthuk group consist of the Nunthuk clans, Thaanhing clans, Thukneel clans, Thaanvuum clans, Thuklai clans and Chiljaang clans. The Tungling group consist of the Tungling clan, Singtou clan, Singbul clan, Singlul clan, Daalvung clan, Santou clan, Timtong clan, Tuolkhen clan, Dolbak clan, Banlawng clan, Aikhoh clan, Khuptong clans - Kipging clan, Ngaithuom clan, Bawngmei clan, Lamthang clan, Sumai clan and Bianpi clan. The Haulai group consist of Haulai clans- Kimdeih clan, Chonmang clan, Ngalkip clan, Lengen clan and Thahgen clan with two more undiscovered clans from Haulai sept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Neihsial people wander among the other tribes (Thadou, Paite, Vaiphei, Gangte, Hmar, Mizo, Zou etc.) after the destruction of the Sialgam (&#039;&#039;Sialthah-tuithang gam&#039;&#039;),  consisting of the two capitals Sialthah Kulhpi and Tuithang Kulhpi. The region under the Sialthah Kulhpi was called Sialthahgam and the region under Tuithang Kulhpi was called Tuithanggam. The Neihsial people speak a unique language called &#039;&#039;Neihsial Pau&#039;&#039;. Neihsial people living in and around Churachandpur District and Tamenglong District of Manipur still use &#039;&#039;Neihsial Pau&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Religion==&lt;br /&gt;
The traditional religion of the Neihsial ( &#039;&#039;i.e VOKPI DAWI&#039;&#039; ) is a combination of [[Veneration of the dead|ancestor worship]] and [[animism]]. The Neihsial believed in the existence of a supreme deity whom they called “Pathian”. Besides Pathian, the Neihsial revered and feared a number of supernatural beings. Sacrifices of [[fowl]]s, [[pig]]s, [[dog]]s and [[goat]]s were made to appease the [[deity|deities]]. The important traditional festivals of the Neihsial include Sa-ai, Gallu-ai and Lawmzu nek. Above all the Neihsial tribe practice &amp;quot;VOKPI DAWI LAAM&amp;quot; Which is the supreme of all their traditional religious dance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Neihsial, Tualchin: &#039;&#039;History and Culture of the Zomi&#039;&#039;, 1993&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Full citation needed|date=July 2023}} The most important and unique festival of the Neihsial tribe was &amp;quot;SIAL-KUT&amp;quot;. This very &#039;&#039;SIAL-KUT&#039;&#039; is unique and is famous for its role in the socio-religious life of the people. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Stephen Fuchs|Fuchs Stephen]]: &#039;&#039;The Aboriginal tribes of India&#039;&#039;, 1982, pp. 10–25&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; foreign missionaries, mostly from the [[Western world]], converted many Neihsials to [[Christianity]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lewis G.R: &#039;&#039;The Story of Lushai Pioneer Mission&#039;&#039;, 1907, pp. 11–77&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They began to abandoned the traditional believes and faiths and discarded all kinds of traditional religions and worships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the 20th century, the Neihsial Christian Association (NCA) was formed on May 11, 1989, at Neihsial Veng, Lamka, Churachandpur, Manipur. At its young stage, they were under the Manipur Christian Organization. After some years they formed alignment with the Wesleyan Methodist Church for about seven years. After parting from Methodist Church they reorganize NCA and function independently till these day. The denominational headquarters of NCA is at Neihsial Veng itself. They believe in trinity: the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. The NCA is headed by one executive secretary, who is assisted by clerk and {{Transliteration|mis|choukider}}. There is an executive committee to deal with any important matters concerning with the institution.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Neihsial, Mung, Op. Cit., p. 6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tinneinieng, “A Brief Ethnographic Study of the Neihsials”, 2004, p. 44&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{Full citation needed|date=July 2023}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Moral values of the Neihsial==&lt;br /&gt;
The Neihsial [[society]] is [[patriarchy|patriarchal]]. It is [[patrilineality|patrilineal]] and [[Patrilocal residence|patrilocal]] with a focus on the [[extended family]]. In the Neihsial society, it is a traditional practice that husband and wife never use each other&#039;s proper names as a sign of respect. Children also never use their parents&#039; names. The parents are addressed as &amp;quot;Pa&amp;quot; (father) and &amp;quot;Nu&amp;quot; (Mother). The father and mother of another family are addressed by elders in the name of their eldest child, preceded by &amp;quot;Pa&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Nu&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Synopsis ==&lt;br /&gt;
Amar Kaul ([[Vinay Pathak]]) is a 37-year-old accounts manager at Suraj Pharmaceuticals in [[Mumbai]]. He is single and lives with his mother ([[Sarita Joshi]]). He lives a nondescript life with people oblivious to his existence. One day his doctor tells him that he will die within three months due to [[stomach cancer]]. Realising that his time is limited, Amar makes a list of ten things he wants to do in his life and sets out to do them. They are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Buy a red car.&lt;br /&gt;
# Tour abroad.&lt;br /&gt;
# Play guitar.&lt;br /&gt;
# Confess his unrequited love for his childhood crush, Neha.&lt;br /&gt;
# Stand up to his boss.&lt;br /&gt;
# Visit his old friend Rajiv Jhulka.&lt;br /&gt;
# Experience romance.&lt;br /&gt;
# Reveal his condition to his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
# Have his photo published in the newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
# Mend his relationship with his younger brother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He finds the true joys of life in a few months, which were hidden all his life. After three months, at the time of his death, he leaves something for all his loved ones, leaving them happy and thankful to him.&lt;br /&gt;

The most apparent character of the area is the development of tidal channels, affecting mainly the [[intertidal zone]]. In this case, the tidal flat is protected seaward by a [[shoal|beach barrier]], but in many cases (low-energy [[water waves|waves]] and [[longshore currents]]) the tidal flats may directly pass into a shallow marine environment.]]&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Mudflats&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;mud flats&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;tidal flats&#039;&#039;&#039; or, in Ireland, &#039;&#039;&#039;slob&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;slobs&#039;&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.askaboutireland.ie/enfo/irelands-environment/county-focus/wexford/wexford-sloblands/|title=Sloblands|website=www.askaboutireland.ie}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/celebrating-the-slobs-1.48177|title=Celebrating the Slobs|first=Richard|last=Roche|newspaper=The Irish Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; are [[coastal wetland]]s that form in intertidal areas where sediments have been deposited by [[tide]]s or [[river]]s. A global analysis published in 2019 suggested that tidal flat ecosystems are as extensive globally as [[mangrove]]s, covering at least {{convert|127,921|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} of the [[Earth]]&#039;s surface.&amp;lt;ref name=Murray&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mudflats may be viewed [[geology|geologically]] as exposed layers of [[bay mud]], resulting from deposition of [[estuarine]] [[silt]]s, [[clay]]s and aquatic animal [[detritus]]. Most of the sediment within a mudflat is within the [[intertidal zone]], and thus the flat is submerged and exposed approximately twice daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A recent global [[remote sensing]] analysis estimated that approximately 50% of the global extent of tidal flats occurs within eight countries ([[Indonesia]], [[China]], [[Australia]], [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[India]], [[Brazil]], and [[Myanmar]]) and that 44% of the world&#039;s tidal flats occur within Asia ({{convert|56,051|km2|mi2|disp=or|abbr=on}}).&amp;lt;ref name=Murray/&amp;gt; A 2022 analysis of tidal wetland losses and gains estimates that global tidal flats experienced losses of {{convert|7,000|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} between 1999 and 2019, which were largely offset by global gains of {{convert|6,700|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} over the same time period.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Murray et al. 2022&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last1=Murray |first1=Nicholas J. |last2=Worthington |first2=Thomas A. |last3=Bunting |first3=Pete |last4=Duce |first4=Stephanie |last5=Hagger |first5=Valerie |last6=Lovelock |first6=Catherine E. |last7=Lucas |first7=Richard |last8=Saunders |first8=Megan I. |last9=Sheaves |first9=Marcus |last10=Spalding |first10=Mark |last11=Waltham |first11=Nathan J. |last12=Lyons |first12=Mitchell B. |title=High-resolution mapping of losses and gains of Earth&#039;s tidal wetlands |journal=Science |date=13 May 2022 |volume=376 |issue=6594 |pages=744–749 |doi=10.1126/science.abm9583|pmid=35549414 |bibcode=2022Sci...376..744M |s2cid=248749118 |url=http://pure.aber.ac.uk/ws/files/50771054/abm9583_CombinedPDF_v5.pdf }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the past tidal flats were considered unhealthy, economically unimportant areas and were often dredged and developed into agricultural land.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.mrcirl.org/marker/marker1701/0701.html|title=Dredging Indian River Lagoon Wetlands 1920 - 1950s|access-date=2011-10-28|archive-date=2013-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130320113810/http://www.mrcirl.org/marker/marker1701/0701.html|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some mudflats can be extremely treacherous to walk on. For example, the mudflats surrounding [[Anchorage, Alaska]], are made from fine glacial-silt which does not easily separate out its water, and, although seemingly solid, can quickly gel and become like [[quicksand]] when disturbed by stepping on it. Four people are known to have become stuck up to their waists and drowned when the tide came in, and many others are rescued from the Anchorage mudflats each year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://apnews.com/article/alaska-mud-flats-silt-drowning-96bba1b5a8a463118e3a886ae2b01499 Associated Press - Man dies on Alaskan Mudflat]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the [[Baltic Sea]] coast of [[Germany]] in places, mudflats are exposed not by tidal action, but by wind-action driving water away from the shallows into the sea. This kind of wind-affected mudflat is called &#039;&#039;[[Windwatt]]&#039;&#039; in German.{{cn|date=September 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;

Tidal flats, along with intertidal [[salt marsh]]es and [[mangrove]] forests, are important [[ecosystem]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://irlspecies.org/index.php|title=Indian River Lagoon Species Inventory Home|website=irlspecies.org}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They support a large population of wildlife,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Aldea, K.

&lt;br /&gt;
The maintenance of mudflats is important in preventing coastal erosion. However, mudflats worldwide are under threat from predicted [[sea level rise]]s, land claims for development, [[Dredge|dredging]] due to shipping purposes, and [[soil contamination|chemical pollution]].&amp;lt;ref name=Murray/&amp;gt; In some parts of the world, such as East and South-East Asia, mudflats have been reclaimed for [[aquaculture]], [[agriculture]], and industrial development. For example, around the [[Yellow Sea]] region of East Asia, more than 65% of mudflats present in the early 1950s had been destroyed by the late 2000s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation | first1 = J. | last1 = MacKinnon | first2 = Y.I. | last2 = Verkuil | first3 = N.J. | last3 = Murray | year = 2012 | title = IUCN situation analysis on East and Southeast Asian intertidal habitats, with particular reference to the Yellow Sea (including the Bohai Sea) | series = Occasional Paper of the IUCN Species Survival Commission No. 47 | pages = 70 | publisher = IUCN | place = Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK | isbn = 9782831712550 | url = http://www.iucn.org/asiancoastalwetlands/ | access-date = 2014-08-01 | archive-date = 2014-06-24 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20140624015227/http://www.iucn.org/asiancoastalwetlands/ | url-status = dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mudflat sediment deposits are focused into the [[intertidal zone]] which is composed of a barren zone and marshes. Within these areas are various ratios of sand and mud that make up the sedimentary layers.&amp;lt;ref name=Reineck&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Reineck |first1=H. E. |first2=I. B. |last2=Singh |title=Depositional Sedimentary Environments |edition=2nd |location=New York |publisher=Springer-Verlag |year=1980 |pages=418–428 |isbn=0-387-10189-6 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The associated growth of coastal sediment deposits can be attributed to rates of subsidence along with rates of deposition (example: silt transported via river) and changes in sea level.&amp;lt;ref name=Reineck/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Barren zones extend from the lowest portion of the intertidal zone to the marsh areas. Beginning in close proximity to the tidal bars, sand dominated layers are prominent and become increasingly muddy throughout the tidal channels. Common bedding types include laminated sand, ripple bedding, and bay mud. [[Bioturbation]] also has a strong presence in barren zones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Marshes]] contain an abundance of [[herbaceous plant]]s while the sediment layers consist of thin sand and mud layers. [[Mudcrack]]s are a common as well as wavy bedding planes.&amp;lt;ref name=Reineck/&amp;gt;  Marshes are also the origins of coal/peat layers because of the abundant decaying plant life.&amp;lt;ref name=Reineck/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salt pan (geology)|Salt pans]] can be distinguished in that they contain thinly laminated layers of clayey silt. The main source of the silt comes from rivers. Dried up mud along with wind erosion forms silt dunes. When flooding, rain or tides come in, the dried sediment is then re-distributed.&amp;lt;ref name=Reineck/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Amko Simko massacre&#039;&#039;&#039; or Amco Simco firing took place on 25 April 1939, when Lt. E. W.

On Tuesday, 25 April 1939, a crowd of tribal peasants had gathered under the leadership of Nirmal Munda (a freedom fighter) at Amko-Simko field. The crowd was protesting high taxes and denied land rights. Rani Janaki arrived at Simko village with a political agent, Lieutenant E. W. Marger, with the sole intent to arrest Nirmal Munda on the grounds of holding seditious meetings and assaulting a village &#039;&#039;chowkidar&#039;&#039;. The crowd was warned to hand over their leader, Nirmal Munda, and disperse. However, the crowd of tribals armed with &#039;&#039;lathis&#039;&#039;, axes, and other crude weapons resisted the arrest of their leader. Consequently, scuffles broke out and the police resorted to firing their weapons.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;osm&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal|last=Mishra|first=Kishore Chandra|title=Prajamandal Movements in the Feudatory States of Western Orissa|date=2008|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44147218|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress|volume=69|page=548|publisher=Indian History Congress|jstor=44147218}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fbekka&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jagran&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After they fired their weapons into the crowd, Nirmal Munda and his associates were arrested and jailed. This marked the end of the Munda agitation in Gangpur against the exorbitant taxes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Before the massacre ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Munda ryots (tenants) of Dahijira village did not pay rent and others supported them.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;osm&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In September 1935, the Mundas filed a petition with the agent to the Governor General protesting the exorbitant rates of rent. The refractory Mundas also filed several petitions before the Viceroy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Meanwhile, the local government was trying to pacify the rebels of Gangpur. The &#039;&#039;[[Tehsildar]]&#039;&#039; of Gangpur made rounds around the region persuading the tribal peasants to accept the taxes. The &#039;&#039;zamindar&#039;&#039; of Gangpur asked the [[Gossner Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chotanagpur and Assam|GEL Church of Ranchi]] to influence the Mundas and stop them from agitation. The GEL Church sent a delegation that visited rebel villages and persuaded the tribal peasants to pay taxes.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;odg&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The queen, Rani Janaki Ratna toured these villages and requested the tribals to pay the taxes. Soon the Munda rebels started boycotting the meetings with the Rani. Eventually all persuasive actions to calm the rebellion failed. The &#039;&#039;zamindar&#039;&#039; resorted to stricter measures to pacify the rebellion. Criminal cases were started against the agitators. Warrants against some agitators with previous crimes were renewed; the lands of agitators were ordered to be confiscated. These measures couldn&#039;t stop the agitators, they made covert meetings and gradually Nirmal Munda became an important figure among agitators allover Gangpur.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1938, a no-rent campaign spread across Gangpur under the leadership of Nirmal Munda. On 9 February 1939, the Queen convened a meeting at Sergipalli to listen to the grievances of the people and to induce them to make payment. Around four to five thousand people from 30 villages attended and presented a charter of demands. The popular demands included not only restitution of the land rent and forest rights of 1910 settlement but also abolition of “Choukidari Tax” and monopoly on the hides. Total abolition of “Bethi, Bheti, Rasad and Magan” was demanded. The no-rent campaign was strengthened with the help of Christian Mundas, the Oraons and the Hindus of Gangpur. Bahadur Bhagat of Andali Jambahal, Tintush Munda and Yakub Gudia of Dahijira were prominent leaders of this movement.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The queen of [[Gangpur State|Gangpur]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Rani Janaki Rathna Maharjee&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as the &#039;&#039;Regent Rani Saheba&#039;&#039; however refused to accept the Khuntkatti rights of tribals. &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Nirmal Munda]]&#039;&#039;&#039; of Bartoli village, a [[World War I]] veteran started a no-rent campaign against the British. Along with Bahadur Bhagat, Nirmal organized the Mundas of Gangpur to refuse to pay taxes. The agitation spread among the [[Munda people|Mundas]] and [[Kurukh people|Oraons]] throughout Gangpur in 1938 under the leadership of Nirmal Munda. The same year Nirmal Munda, Mansid Topno, Bhodra Munda went to Ranchi and sent a petition to Governor General [[Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow|Linlithgow]]. A copy of this petition was given to [[Jaipal Singh Munda]], an [[Adivasi]] politician; he met the Governor General and demanded Khuntkatti rights and the remission of taxes. The Governor General summoned Rani Janaki Ratna to Delhi and advised her to resolve the issue peacefully. But the Queen paid no heed to the demands.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Massacre ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Durbar (royal court) of Gangpur was finding the circumstances unfavourable and the situation was likely to aggravate further, the Durbar sought help from the political agent at Sambalpur to suppress the rebels, and requisitioned the State Joint Police Force.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The political agent and the durbar planned to arrest Nirmal Munda; it was given out that the Rani had accepted the agitators&#039; demands and was going to declare good news at Simko village. On 25 April 1939, Adivasis had gathered in Amko Simko under the leadership of Nirmal Munda.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Assistant Political Agent Lt. E. W. Marger and Sub-Divisional Officer of Nagra accompanied with two platoons of troops under a British officer appeared at Amko Simko to arrest Nirmal Munda on charges of holding seditious meetings and assaulting a village chawkidar.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The Rani asked the people, &#039;Who is Nirmal Munda?&#039; Everybody recognized the evil intention of the Rani and introduced themselves as Nirmal Munda. Later, Lt. Marger proceeded towards Nirmal Munda&#039;s house to arrest him; a young boy, Mania Munda, stood at the door to obstruct the Lieutenant. A soldier pushed his bayonet into Mania, who died on the spot.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
–Fabianus Ekka, a tribal resident of Amko village.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fbekka&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hundreds of tribals present at the meeting, armed with crude weapons resisted the arrest of their leader. Consequently, scuffles broke out between the police and the tribals. The police, unable to control the crowd, opened fire upon the agitators killing many and leaving several injured.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;osm&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;odg&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some bodies were kept in military vans covered with tarpaulins and later, were thrown into the limekiln of Bisra Stone lime factory at Biramitrapur. Some bodies were given a mass burial at Brahmanmara, Birmitrapur. Nirmal Munda and several of his associates were arrested. He was sentenced to six years of imprisonment in Sundargarh and Sambalpur. He was released from jail on 15 August 1947.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;osm&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Casualties ==&lt;br /&gt;
The total number of casualties is disputed. The [[Government of Odisha]] claims that 39 people had died and 50 were left injured.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;osm&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; no-official records say that nearly 50 people had been killed and about 100 were left injured. [[Harekrushna Mahatab|Dr. Mahtab]], a notable leader from [[Odisha]] in the [[Indian independence movement|independence movement]] wrote in his autobiography, &#039;Sadhanara Pathe&#039;, that more than 300 people had died and 82 were injured in the Amko Simko firing.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Mahatab|first=Harekrushna|author-link=Harekrushna Mahatab|date=1972|title=ସାଧନାର ପଥେ|trans-title=Sadhanara Pathe|publisher=Katak Shtudentas Shtora|location=Cuttack|page=200|language=or|asin=B0000E77XU}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Aftermath ==&lt;br /&gt;
Odia newspapers like &#039;&#039;Samaj&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Deshakata&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Nabeen&#039;&#039; condemned the inhuman firing. &#039;&#039;&#039;Dhananjay Mohanty&#039;&#039;&#039;, a Congress worker and freedom fighter from Gangpur put great effort in bringing this incident to limelight.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Some days after the firing, Gandhiji with Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadev Desai were travelling to Calcutta when the train halted at Kalunga station; Dhananjay along with Shashibhushan Panigrahi and Ganesh Singh got into the train and informed Gandhiji in detail about the firing at Amko Simko which greatly shocked Gandhi.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Dhananjay&#039;s effort helped bring this incident to public notice; Jawaharlal Nehru and Laxminarayan Mishra wanted to visit the site of firing but were stopped by the police. Nehru decided to organise a satyagraha against this, but Gandhiji advised Nehru that starting a satyagraha in a [[Orissa Tributary States|Garhjat state]] will be unwise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ett&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The Amko Simko firing and the arrest of Nirmal Munda marked the end of the tribal uprising and the no-rent campaign.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rklcity&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.rourkelacity.com/about-rourkela/personalities/dhananjay-mohanty/ |title=Dhananjay Mohanty |author=&amp;lt;!--Not stated--&amp;gt; |website=Rourkelacity |publisher= |quote=He had a role into bringing the Amko – Simko massacre (firing by Britishers to the gathering of the tribal peasants in the year 1939) to the lime light. He was the man who dared to bring this tragic matter the notice of Mahatma Gandhi while Mr. Gandhi was travelling to Kolkata (Calcutta) via Rourkela in train. Consequent upon this the Amko – Simko incident got national coverage.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nirmal Munda was awarded a &#039;&#039;Tamrapatra&#039;&#039; (bronze plaque) as a freedom fighter by Indira Gandhi in 1972.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;saritadas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The Tribals have placed a memorial stone at Simko and every year on 25 April pay their floral tribute to the victims of the massacre. Odisha State government has given the Amko Simko massacre site a tourism status.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jagran&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The memorial built at the Simko field is unmaintained and lacks facilities. The local tribals aren&#039;t satisfied with this work as this incident is gradually being forgotten and has been left out of history books.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;telegraph&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;otv&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite AV media| people=Flabianu Ekka (Correspondent, Amko-Simko Saheed Committee), Stephen Bilung (Member, Amko-Simko Saheed Committee) | date= 13 November 2019 | title=Tourist Spot Amko-Simko Lacks Facilities For Visitors | type=Television production|language=or | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vh2nL0O1zY| publisher=[[Odisha TV]]| location=Amkco Simco Shaheed Smruti Pitha}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In popular culture==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Amko Simko Po&#039;dāte&#039;&#039; is a tribal folk song in [[Kharia language|Khadia language]] which describes the massacre in a song.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tbz&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
There is debate on the issue of whether to treat this incident as an [[Agrarianism|agrarian movement]] or a movement as a part of the [[Indian independence movement]]. The Odisha District Gazetteers mention the Amko Simko firing as an &amp;quot;agrarian agitation which was later eulogized by the Congress leaders as examples of bravery and valiant resistance by the tribals to the oppressive British Raj in order to inspire them to join the freedom movement&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;odg&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to inconsistent documentation, varying data has been retrieved from sources on the same incident. Some sources mention the political agent&#039;s name with different spellings such as E. W. M. Morger. The number of casualties is also unclear as some reports mention the body-count as 28, some mention it as high as 300.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jstor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Shanta&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Langx|sa|शांता}}), is the princess of [[Anga]] in the Hindu epic &#039;&#039;[[Ramayana]]&#039;&#039;. She is the wife of [[Rishyasringa]]. In northern recensions of the epic and later Indian literature, she is regarded as a daughter of King [[Dasharatha ]] and Queen [[Kausalya]], who was later adopted by King [[Romapada]] and Queen [[Vershini]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Goldman |first=Robert P. |title=The Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki: An Epic of Ancient India |publisher=Princeton University Press |year=1984 |volume=I: Bālakāṇḍa |pages=75|quote=The northern recensions of the epic, and much of later Indian literature, regard Śāntā as actually a daughter of Daśaratha given in adoption to his friend and ally Lomapāda (Romapāda). On the basis of careful textual analysis, Asoke Chatterjee has shown this tradition to be a later invention of the northern redactors, owing its existence to their confusion of the Añga monarch, Daśaratha or Lomapāda, mentioned in several purānic genealogies, with the Kosalan Daśaratha.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legend==&lt;br /&gt;
Shanta was educated in the [[Vedas]], arts, craft as well as in warfare, and was considered to have been very beautiful. One day, while her father, the king Romapada, was busy in conversation with Shanta, a [[brahmin]] came to ask for help in cultivation in the days of the monsoon. Romapada did not pay attention to the brahmin&#039;s plight. This irritated and enraged the brahmin, who left the kingdom. [[Indra]], the god of rain, was unable to bear the insult to his devotee, so there was little rainfall during the monsoon season resulting in drought in the kingdom. Meanwhile, Dasharatha wanted a son to continue his legacy and enrich his royal dynasty. It was advised that the troubles of both kingdoms could only be alleviated by [[Yajna|yajnas]] performed by a brahmin with powers that come from the observance of perfect chastity and that the only such person was Rishyasringa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;.B. Kanuga&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rishyasringa had been raised by [[Vibhandak Rishi|Vibhandaka]], isolated from society without knowledge of women. He had to be brought to the city and be persuaded to carry out the necessary yajna ceremonies. Despite their fear of the power and anger of Vibhandaka, both kings send young women to introduce the boy to the normal society, then Shanta fulfills this task and Rishyasringa marries Shanta, he then agrees to perform yajna for [[Anga]], during the recitation of it, it rained heavily, the public rejoiced and there were festivals in Anga.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;.B. Kanuga&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Kanuga, G.B.|title=The Immortal Love of Rama|year=1993|publisher=Yuganter Press|location=New Delhi|pages=48–49|isbn=9781897829509 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zHgW9SezCqoC&amp;amp;pg=PA48}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rishyasringa also performed a Putra Kameshthi [[yajna]] for Dasharatha to beget progeny, and as the consequence of the said [[yajna]] [[Rama]], [[Bharata (Ramayana)|Bharata]], and the twins [[Lakshmana]] and [[Shatrughna]] were born.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1bmzkgh |title=The Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki: An Epic of Ancient India, Volume II: Ayodhyakāṇḍa |date=1986 |publisher=Princeton University Press}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Worship==&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Kullu]] district of [[Himachal Pradesh]] and in the [[Sringeri]] town of [[Karnataka]], there are temples dedicated to Shanta and her husband Rishyasringa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/spiritual/lord-ram-also-had-a-sister-shanta-devi-who-has-a-temple-dedicated-to-her-in-india-article-106920513 |title=Did you know Lord Rama also had a sister?

&#039;&#039;&#039;Poonthura&#039;&#039;&#039; is a suburb of [[Thiruvananthapuram]] the capital of Kerala, India. It is on the landing path of flights to [[Trivandrum Airport|Thiruvananthapuram International Airport]] and is about 5 kilometers from the capital city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Poonthura riots ==&lt;br /&gt;
The hamlet of Poonthura witnessed several incidents of communal violence as an aftermath of the [[Babri Masjid]] demolition in 1992. The most serious incidents occurred between 19 July and 21 July 1992 and are infamously referred to as the Poonthura riots. The then DGP C Subramaniam was in Chennai without submitting proper leave application whereas the next seniormost officer and then ADGP (Intelligence) [[Jayaram Padikkal]] had not acted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Police lapses led to Cheriyathura firing |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2009/may/22/police-lapses-led-to-cheriyathura-firing-51140.html |access-date=2022-08-22 |website=The New Indian Express}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trouble was anticipated in Trivandrum, with the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] (RSS) and its Islamic equivalent, the recently formed Islamic Sevak Sangh (ISS), which was accused of having started the riots in the Kochi region in April 1992, taunting each other with provocative speeches and meetings over events in Ayodhya.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Statements by Minister |url=https://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lsdeb/ls10/ses4/16280792.htm |access-date=2022-08-22 |website=parliamentofindia.nic.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The tempers spilled onto the streets. Two days of rioting left six dead, 20 injured, and hundreds of businesses and houses looted. The violence was sparked off by reports of ISS activists throwing stones at an RSS drill. Soon there were pitched battles all over the city. The highly politicized police force seemed to be in a stupor. Unfortunately, the Government instruction to only fire in the air was leaked to the rioting groups and hence the looting and rioting happened right in front of police personnel firing in the air. Later, about 100 persons were arrested, but many were released owing to political pressure. The political interference was from one of the constituents of the ruling UDF itself - the [[Indian Union Muslim League]]. The IUML, had been under pressure to break with the UDF over the Ayodhya issue.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=August 15, 1992 |first=T.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Queenship of Mary Church&#039;&#039;&#039; parish in [[Chintadripet]], [[Chennai]], [[India]], was started in 1904 when it was known as St. Lazarus Church. Earlier, it had been a sub-station of St. Anthony&#039;s Church, Pudupet. A new church was built in 1952 with the name Queenship of Mary; it was consecrated on 18, December 1955 by Auxiliary Bishop Francis Arthur Carvalho, of [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madras and Mylapore|Madras and Mylapore]]. Under the supervision of Reverend M. V. Jacob, a new church was constructed on 1 October 2003. A grotto was built in commemoration of the centenary celebrations in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Queenship of Mary Church, then known as St. Lazarus Church, with about 2500 members, was erected in [[Chennai|Madras]] (now Chennai), near the [[Ripon Building]] and the [[Corporation of Madras]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Queenship |first=Church |title=Church Website |url=http://queenshipofmarychurch.webs.com/ |work=Religion |publisher=Ritchie |access-date=16 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702181420/http://queenshipofmarychurch.webs.com/ |archive-date=2 July 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally, St. Lazarus was not meant to be a parish church. It was a chapel attached to St. Anthony&#039;s Church of Pudupet. The earliest references to this church, as a separate ecclesiastical unit, are from 1904, when it was raised to the status of a parochial church with the parish priest residing in Pudupet.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the transfer of the spiritual jurisdiction in 1929 and division of Madras by the river Cooum, Madras and Mylapore became like two different cities. The churches on the eastern bank of the river were to be taken over by the Mylapore Diocese and those on the western side from part of the Archdiocese of Madras. While therefore Mylapore handed over one of the best city churches, Sacred Heart of Egmore, Mylapore got in return St. Lazarus of Chintadripet with St. Antony&#039;s of Narasingapuram, located on Ritchie&#039;s Street, close to Mount Road.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were two St. Lazarus Churches, within the city. One in Mylapore close to Mae de Deus Church (the name Madras is derived from the name of this church), and the other in the slum area of Chintadripet.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=History of the Archdiocese of Madras Mylapore|first=An Outline|title=Chintadripet|year=1986|publisher=Arulappa|location=Chennai|pages=248}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is unknown why there were two churches in Madras dedicated to St. Lazarus. It is possible that a sense of rivalry brought into existence the St. Lazarus of Chintadripet, while the older one (which had grown in fame as a shrine where devotees flocked and still do come round every Tuesday) that one in Mylapore, as it is stated elsewhere, it may safely be assumed that it is now more than three centuries old, while that in Chintadripet is comparatively younger, having been built at the earliest in 1904.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As far as historical data go, owing to the absence of records, the origin and the early history of St. Lazarus Chintadripet is unknown. However, there is a strong tradition that [[St. Francis Xavier]] visited this parish.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Re-dedication ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally this parish was dedicated to St. Lazarus, after the [[Second Vatican Council]], it was rededicated to the Queenship of Mary on 18 December 1955{{Clarify|date=January 2013|reason=This chronology doesn&#039;t work.}}, on the recommendations of the [[Sacred Congregation of Rites]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Madras-Mylapore|first=Archdiocese|title=Directory|year=2009|publisher=Charles Kumar|location=Chennai|pages=86}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Revelation of Our Lady ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Most Holy and Miraculous Mother of Chintadripet is said to have revealed herself to a poor Hindu lady, Mrs. Devi, who lived in the slum adjacent to the church, at 11:00 am, on 14 August 2007.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Revelation of Our Lady|url=http://queenshipofmarychurch.webs.com/ourladysrevelation.htm|publisher=Queenship Church|access-date=16 April 2012}}{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Short description|Concept of husband fidelity in Hinduism}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{For|the 1965 Indian film|Pathivratha}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Savitri, Satyavan &amp;amp; Yama by M. V. Dhurandhar 1924.jpg|thumb|[[Savitri and Satyavan|Savitri]] is described as an ideal &#039;&#039;pativrata&#039;&#039;, depicted here rescuing her husband Satyavan&#039;s life from the god of death, [[Yama (Hinduism)|Yama]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pativrata&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Langx|sa|पतिव्रता|lit=husband vow|translit=Pativratā}}) is a term used in [[Hinduism]] to refer to the conjugal fidelity of a woman towards her husband. It also refers to the term used to refer to a married woman who is faithful and dutiful to her husband.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2017-05-01 |title=Pativrata, Pativratā, Pati-vrata: 17 definitions |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/pativrata |access-date=2022-12-17 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hindus generally believe that when a wife is devoted to her husband and serves his needs, she brings prosperity and well-being to her family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Etymology ==&lt;br /&gt;
Pativrata literally means a virtuous wife who has made a vow (&#039;&#039;[[vrata]]&#039;&#039;) to her husband (&#039;&#039;pati&#039;&#039;) of her devotion and protection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Beliefs ==&lt;br /&gt;
A pativrata is described to listen to her husband and act accordingly to his needs. A pativrata is regarded to protect her husband in two ways. Firstly, she attends to his personal needs and encourages him to do his duty (&#039;&#039;[[dharma]]&#039;&#039;). Secondly, she undertakes various rituals and fasts to please the [[Hindu deities|deities]], hoping that they would protect her husband from harm and grant him a long life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sati, the Blessing and the Curse: The Burning of Wives in India, by John Stratton Hawley&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]] is often used as a synonym for a pativrata - one who preserves her purity ([[sattva]]) - physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is also used to denote a woman who [[Sati (practice)|immolates herself]] on the funeral pyre of her dead husband.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=The Pativrata |url=https://www.baps.org/Article/2011/The-Pativrata-2245.aspx |website=BAPS |accessdate=8 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Literature ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Hinduism}}&lt;br /&gt;
The pativrata of a wife towards her husband is a recurring theme in [[Hindu texts|Hindu literature]], and occurs in various legends of [[Hindu mythology]]. It is a concept that is usually portrayed to be a powerful factor that protects a woman&#039;s husband from curses, death, and any ill-omens that threaten his well-being. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ramayana]] features [[Sita]], whose pativrata to her husband, [[Rama]], is described throughout the epic. Sita does not hesitate to spend fourteen years of exile that Rama is ordered to undertake in the forest, giving up all of her earthly comforts to fulfil her duty to him. She does not experience any fear when she is abducted by [[Ravana]], and remains faithful to her husband throughout her captivity. In the Uttara Kanda, she does not question the [[Agnipravesham|agnipariksha]] when she is asked to prove her chastity to Rama due to the demands of the common people to do so.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Tripāṭhī |first1=Candrabalī |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lptUQEU1GWcC&amp;amp;dq=sita+patnivrata&amp;amp;pg=PA126 |title=The Evolution of Ideals of Womenhood in Indian Society |last2=Mani |first2=Chandra Mauli |date=2005 |publisher=Gyan Books |isbn=978-81-7835-425-5 |pages=126 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legend of [[Savitri and Satyavan]] of the [[Mahabharata]] is often stated to exemplify the concept of a pativrata, where the devotion of a princess named Savitri towards her husband, Satyavan, saves him from his predestined early demise from the god of death himself.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Das |first=Sisir Kumar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sqBjpV9OzcsC&amp;amp;dq=savitri+satyavan&amp;amp;pg=PA129 |title=A History of Indian Literature: 1911-1956, struggle for freedom : triumph and tragedy |date=2005 |publisher=Sahitya Akademi |isbn=978-81-7201-798-9 |pages=129 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[Brahmanda Purana]], while Sage [[Mandavya]] was punished by impalement due to being mistaken for an accomplice in a theft, [[Ugrashravas]], the husband of a devoted wife named Shilavati, wished to visit the house of his favourite prostitute. Shilavati agreed to carry him to her house. When the couple came across Mandavya, the latter understood the man&#039;s intentions, and cursed him to die before the next sunrise. Horrified, Shilavati, with her piety, ensured that [[Surya]], the sun god, would not rise the next dawn. Since this led to universal chaos, the [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]] approached [[Anasuya]], who convinced Shilavati to have the sun rise again.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Krishna |first=Nanditha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DF_af8_547EC&amp;amp;dq=ani+mandavya+sunrise&amp;amp;pg=PT140 |title=Sacred Animals of India |date=2014-05-01 |publisher=Penguin UK |isbn=978-81-8475-182-6 |pages=140 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religious practices ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Varalakshmi Vratam]] refers to a Hindu observance in which married Hindu women in [[South India]] offer their prayers to the goddess [[Lakshmi]] for a prosperous marriage and the continued health of their husbands. The [[Karva Chauth]] is a similar observance held in [[North India]] when women pray for the longevity of their husbands.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Monger |first=George P. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=avDXAQAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=karva+chauth+varalakshmi+vratam&amp;amp;pg=PA399 |title=Marriage Customs of the World: An Encyclopedia of Dating Customs and Wedding Traditions, 2nd Edition [2 volumes] |date=2013-04-09 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-1-59884-664-5 |pages=399 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Savitri Brata|Savitri Vrata]] is a fast undertaken by women to pray for the long lives of their husbands in certain regions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Raman |first=Sita Anantha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KwKrCQAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=savitri+vrata+husband&amp;amp;pg=PA56 |title=Women in India: A Social and Cultural History [2 volumes]: A Social and Cultural History |date=2009-06-08 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-0-313-01440-6 |pages=56 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;M/S R.M.D.C (Mysore) v. State of Mysore&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;, (AIR 1962 SC 594) was a judgment of the [[Supreme Court of India]], dealing with [[constitutional law]], where the Court utilized the [[Doctrine of colourability|doctrine of colourable legislation]]. This is a landmark case on [[Centre-States relations in India]], and was decided in favor of the erstwhile State of Mysore. This case dealt with issues of conflict between the States and Union regarding legislative competence. It further held that surrender of [[Federalism in India|legislative competence]] by a state to the Union under [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1294039/ article 252(2)] of the [[Constitution of India|Indian Constitution]] does not amount to surrender of powers of taxation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background and Facts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
The appellants, M/S R.M.D.C., were conducting their business in [[Mysore State|Mysore]], since August, 1948, under the head of &amp;quot;prize competitions&amp;quot;. They were governed by the Mysore Lotteries and Prize Competitions Control and Tax Act, 1951. Following an appeal from various states to the Union under [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/667558/ article 252] of the Indian Constitution, a Central Legislation was passed called the [https://indiankanoon.org/doc/654270/ Prize Competitions Act, 1955.] The State of Mysore, among other states, adopted this act, thereby assenting to the Union&#039;s exclusive jurisdiction over control of prize competitions. However, it later passed an ordinance amending certain provisions of the act to deem taxation powers upon themselves. This was called into question by the R.M.D.C. as being &#039;&#039;ultra vires&#039;&#039; the legislative competence of the State. It was also contended that the doctrine of colourable legislation was applicable, as the State of Mysore was attempting to control the conduct of prize competitions indirectly, by appropriating the powers of their taxation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Arguments ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Appellant ===&lt;br /&gt;
Porus A. Mehta, J. R. Gagrat and G. Gopalakrishnan, who were the counsel for the appellants, made 5 major arguments. Their &#039;&#039;&#039;first contention&#039;&#039;&#039; was that the Mysore Legislature, by adopting the Central legislation, had surrendered their competence to legislate on any matter regarding prize competitions. They stated that all powers, including that of taxation, had been surrendered in favour of the Parliament. The competency to enact laws with regard to Entry 34 and 62 of List II of the Seventh Schedule were contended to have been surrendered. The former entry dealt with &amp;quot;betting and gambling&amp;quot; while the latter regarded &amp;quot;taxation of luxuries, including betting and gambling&amp;quot;. &#039;&#039;&#039;Secondly,&#039;&#039;&#039; they contended that even if it was held that all powers had not been surrendered, the amendments made to the act were in violation of article 252(2), as it indirectly amends the Central legislation by adding a new method of control by imposition of penalties of a monetary nature. &#039;&#039;&#039;Thirdly,&#039;&#039;&#039; they stated that the Mysore Legislature could not amend an act that stood repealed as a result of the enactment of the Central legislation. &#039;&#039;&#039;Fourthly&#039;&#039;&#039;, it was stated that the Mysore Act, to the extent of its amendment, was &#039;&#039;&#039;repugnant&#039;&#039;&#039; to the Central act, and thus, was rendered void as under article 254(1) of the Indian Constitution. &#039;&#039;&#039;Finally,&#039;&#039;&#039; it was argued that the amendments were colourable legislation as the tax was imposed on the prize competitions with the objective of restoring their control to the State. They submitted that the state legislature were imposing penalties upon prize competitions by way of tax, and thus implementing control over such competitions. They further submitted that such taxation was a method of control and regulation, and all matters ancillary to the issue of control and regulation had been surrendered to the Union (via the doctrine of ancillary powers).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Respondent ===&lt;br /&gt;
N. C. Chatterjee, G. Channappa, R. Gopalakrishnan and T. M. Sen, counsel for the respondents, countered these claims. They submitted that the subject of &amp;quot;betting and gambling&amp;quot; given in entry 34 and the issue of &amp;quot;taxation of luxuries&amp;quot; in entry 62 of List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution were separate powers. This implied that surrendering of control and regulation of prize competitions to the Union did not lead to the surrendering of taxation powers. Thus, they claimed that the power conferred under entry 62 could not have been deemed to have been surrendered. They further submitted that having proven legislative competence, it was unnecessary to prove or disprove any &#039;&#039;mala fide&#039;&#039; intentions of the Mysore legislature. It was submitted that the motives of the legislature could not be called into question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Decision of the Supreme Court ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Supreme Court held that the Central legislation, passed in accordance with article 252(1) of the Indian Constitution, governed entry 34 of List II of the Seventh Schedule, while the amendments made by the Mysore Legislation were done under entry 62 of the same list. These entries covered separate powers, and by passing the resolution under article 252, the States did not surrender their powers of taxation under entry 62. It could not be held that article 252(2) of the Indian Constitution was violated by such an amendment of the Mysore Act, nor could it be held that the amendment amounted to colourable legislation, as the amendment did not amount to indirect control and regulation of prize competitions. The tax imposed by the Mysore legislature&#039;s amendments were not in the manner of a penalty, but merely a tax, which was within the legislative competence of the Mysore legislature, under entry 62 of List II of the Seventh Schedule.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gangadevipalli&#039;&#039;&#039; or Gangadevipally, is a village in [[Geesugonda]] mandal of [[Warangal district]] in the [[India]]n state of [[Telangana]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/Gangadevipalli-village-in-news-again/article17373342.ece| title = Gangadevipalli village in news again - The Hindu}} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is situated about 12&amp;amp;nbsp;km away from the district headquarters of [[Warangal]] and has a population of 1277.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village has earned itself a reputation as a model village of the country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://www.deccanchronicle.com/150801/nation-current-affairs/article/india%E2%80%99s-model-village-telangana| title = India’s model village in Telangana}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/270217/narendra-modi-all-praise-for-telangana-villages-toilets.html| title = Modi all praise for Telangana village’s toilets; twin-pit loos win PM&#039;s approval}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Governance ==&lt;br /&gt;
The village is governed by the village Panchayat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangadevipalli was once under the jurisdiction of the village panchayat of Machapur. In September, 1994, it earned the status of a special village panchayat. In the first two Panchayat elections of 1995 and 2001, all the elected representatives were women. In 2006, Mr. Kiruthik Pranav was elected as the Sarpanch. The current Sarpanch is again a woman named Ms. Intla Santhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since its recognition as a special Panchayat, the villagers have been working hard to make it a model village. It was as a result of this effort that in 2007, this village received the Nirmal Gram Puraskar. This village has the distinction of having an all-women membership in the [[Gram panchayat|Gram Panchayat]] including the [[Sarpanch]] in the 1995 and 2001 elections. In the recent times, this village has earned itself a reputation not only at the state level but also at the national level as a result of the visits by several prominent personalities from various political parties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Development activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
Gangadevipalli has earned several accolades from one and all for the villagers&#039; collective efforts in developing the village. Some of the indicators of this development are 100% [[literacy]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/telangana-village-scores-perfect-100-in-literacy-prohibition-toilets/story-hYowAVeqMAL5keayroLRnI.html|title=Telangana village scores perfect 100 in kiruthik , prohibition, toilets|date=2017-03-26|work=hindustantimes.com/|access-date=2017-04-14|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; complete alcohol [[prohibition]], availability of toilets in every home, [[family planning]] for all households and [[fluoride]]-free drinking water. The villagers have proven that through collective effort and discipline, one can solve problems and make their village a better place to live in. The boards on either side of the entrance to the village show their commitment and discipline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Development Committees ==&lt;br /&gt;
Gangadevipalli has 13 committees. The committees play a major role in the village&#039;s everyday governance. One person from each household is  involved in some committee or the other. Though there are multiple political parties, the villagers are united when it comes to development activities. The villagers solve all of their disputes within the village. There were no police complaints registered in the past 14 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village is divided into 18 sectors. Each committee can consist of 11 to 25 members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few of the committees and their functions are listed below &lt;br /&gt;
* Alcohol prohibition committee - To prevent the sale of alcohol in the village and prevent smuggling of liquor into the village from other villages.&lt;br /&gt;
* Drinking water management committee - To take care of water supply, cleanliness and hygiene around the water taps. The villagers got water tankers with the help of a non-profit called Lodhi and a fluoride-free water purification plant with the help of the Tata group. This water purification plant produces surplus drinking water which is sold to other areas and thus makes some money for the village.&lt;br /&gt;
* Education committee - Management of maintenance of schools.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ganga dish committee - Issuance of cable connections to people&lt;br /&gt;
* Health committee - Protection of health, prevention of seasonal diseases and family planning&lt;br /&gt;
* Mothers&#039; committee - Takes care of pregnant women and new mothers with the cooperation of the local Anganwadi group.&lt;br /&gt;
* Loan recovery committee - To ensure that farmers pay their bank loans on time&lt;br /&gt;
* Village development committee - All development activities in the village&lt;br /&gt;
A committee will soon be formed for governance of the recently installed community WiFi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village has 14 cooperative savings unions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Public services ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Drinking water plant ===&lt;br /&gt;
The villagers have established a drinking water project in the village through the help of non-profit organizations without any help from the government. This de-fluorination project has been in operation from 1996. The villagers can get 20 liters of purified drinking water for a price of Re. 1 using a smart card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Free Cable TV ===&lt;br /&gt;
The cable TV network in this village is free. Each household pays an upfront deposit of Rs. 2200 to get a cable connection. This amount is deposited in a bank and the cable services are maintained using the interest accrued on this amount. There are no monthly charges for using this service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Free Community WiFi ===&lt;br /&gt;
Volunteers of the Hyderabad wing of the Free Software Movement of India ([[Free Software Movement of India|FSMI]]), known as Swecha have undertaken a project with the co-operation of the villagers to set up a community WiFi network. Apart from serving internet, the central hub of the WiFi hub - a device known as [[FreedomBox]], a server for hosting [[Free software|free]] and [[Open-source software|open-source]] software for protecting [[privacy]] on the internet. Since the FreedomBox project can also be used as a server on the local network, a lot of free services like [[Voice over IP|VoIP]] calling and chat, [[internet radio]], [[digital library]], offline Wikipedia etc. have been provided to the villagers. This project was an inspiration for several other nearby villages who want to host similar community WiFi projects in their villages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This project was funded by donations. The village panchayat pays the monthly internet bill to the ISP. All villagers and visitors can use the WiFi for free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Leadership ==&lt;br /&gt;
Gangadevipalli&#039;s development was fueled by the efforts of several leaders like Koosam Rajamouli, Gone Cheralu, Koosam Lingaiah, Challa Mallaiah, Koosam Narayana, Pelli Rajayya and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Rajamouli describes his experience as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;It was difficult in the beginning to get all the people to agree on the same things. But we didn&#039;t give up. We tried to teach everyone the importance of development. Eventually, people started appreciating our thinking. They started volunteering to help with every development activity. We take every decision by voting and choose the option with the majority of votes. Most villagers are part of some committee or the other. So, most activities are performed with dedication and a feeling of ownership. This village&#039;s progress is the result of the collective efforts of all the villagers.&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recognition ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Recognized as the best panchayat in the country in 2007. A panel of judges presided by Mr. Subhash Kashap, the former General Secretary of [[Lok Sabha]] made this selection. The Academy of survey and research of rural India presented this award. [[Union Council of Ministers|Union minister]] Mr. Manishankar Ayyar was the chief advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
* Awarded the Nirmal Gram Puraskar, a national award, by [[A. P. J. Abdul Kalam|Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam]], the former President of India. &lt;br /&gt;
* Selected as the best panchayat of Warangal district 4 times.&lt;br /&gt;
* Awarded by the district collector in 1999 for the people&#039;s membership in cooperative savings societies&lt;br /&gt;
* NGOs from [[Canada]] and [[Bangladesh]] have studied the local self-governance model of Gangadevipalli. Several group from [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Puducherry (city)|Pondicherry]] and [[Rajasthan]] have visited the village. Most IAS officers in training who come to the district study this village.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2005, Mr. Challappa, the commissioner of Gram Panchayats remarked, &amp;quot;Every district in the country should have one such village.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* This village was adopted by [[Andhra Bank]] under the Pattabhi Model Village Development Scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
* This village had visitors from 20 different countries so far.&lt;br /&gt;
* This village was featured in a cover story by [[Eenadu]] in their weekly magazine.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Personal life and death===&lt;br /&gt;
Chinnamma was married to Kumara Pillai, son of [[C. V. Raman Pillai]]&#039;s brother [[Tehsildar]] Narayana Pillai.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;keralawomen&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Chinnamma lived in [[Kottayam]] with her husband and children. She died in 1930.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;keralawomen&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Social service and activism==&lt;br /&gt;
When M.C. Sankara Pillai wrote in a publication that women are reproductive machines, Chinnamma and her classmate [[B. Kalyani Amma|Kalyani Amma]] sharply criticized it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;anweshanam&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=ദിഗംബര സ്മരണകൾ 208;&amp;quot;രണ്ട് കൂട്ടുകാരികൾ, കെ. ചിന്നമ്മയും ബി.കല്യാണി അമ്മയും&amp;quot;;എം.രാജീവ് കുമാർ |url=https://anweshanam.com/opinion/digambara-memoirs-208;-two-friends-k-chinnamma-and-b/cid5427556.htm |website=anweshanam.com |language=ml |date=8 October 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 1911, while presiding over a women&#039;s conference, she met Theerthapada Paramahamsa and on his advice she focused on social work.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;anweshanam&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chinnamma, who advocated for the rights of married officials, has founded several women&#039;s societies. In 1908, K. Chinnamma was appointed School Inspector in the Kottayam Division of Travancore. As part of her work, she visited Christian schools run by nuns and saw orphanages affiliated with schools for Christian children. So she wondered what it would be like to start a shelter home for orphans and widows in the Hindu community.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Remembering Kerala&#039;s Chinnamma, who opened state&#039;s first home for destitute women |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/remembering-keralas-chinnamma-who-opened-states-first-home-destitute-women-115640 |work=The News Minute |date=8 January 2020 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 1916, Chinnamma spoke about her idea at a women&#039;s conference on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the then King of Travancore, Sreemoolam Thirunal, but no one supported her idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mrs. P. Raman Thampi, who was the head of the women&#039;s society, organized the &#039;Shashtipurthi Maholsavam&#039; (60th birthday celebration) and entrusted Chinnamma with the task. She had a surplus of Rs. 200 in her hand after the celebrations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In the discussion on what to do with the remaining money, Chinnamma once again raised the need for a house for needy women. There was still strong opposition but later Mrs. Raman Thampi supported the idea.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Chinnamma delivered a powerful speech there, roughly translating: “Most of us gathered here have proper food and clothing. But many women who have none of this end up begging. Many of you may not have seen it. But if we have the heart, we must surely help these helpless women, in honor of the King who did so much for women&#039;s education&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The speech worked and in 1918, &#039;&#039;Raja Sreemoolam Thirunal Shashtyabda Poorthi Smaraka Hindu Mahila Mandiram&#039;&#039; was established at Thiruvananthapuram.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; She developed it as an institution that provides education and vocational training to poor girls.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;keralawomen&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; She also ran a women&#039;s publication called &#039;&#039;Mahila Mandir&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;keralawomen&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; When it was rumored that Chinnamma had used her power to use teachers for the Mahila Mandir, she was removed from the post of school inspector.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; She later became the headmistress of the Petta Higher Secondary School.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Chinnamma ignored the existing untouchability in Kerala at that time and admitted lower caste girls to attend school.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;News Minute&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later Chinnamma quit her job and worked for Mahila Mandir full time.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mathrubhumi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=ഇത് ചിന്നമ്മയുടെ കഥ, പൂജപ്പുര മഹിളാ മന്ദിരത്തിന്റേയും |url=https://archives.mathrubhumi.com/thiruvananthapuram/news/22nov2021-1.6200185 |work=Mathrubhumi |language=en }}{{Dead link|date=February 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She traveled a lot to raise money for this institution.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mathrubhumi&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Honors==&lt;br /&gt;
Mahila Mandir and Chinnamma who led it has been praised by national leaders including [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and [[Annie Besant]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Malayalam |first1=Media |title=ഇത് ചിന്നമ്മയുടെ കഥ, പൂജപ്പുര മഹിളാ മന്ദിരത്തിന്റേയും - Media Malayalam (മീഡിയ മലയാളം) |url=https://mediamalayalam.com/this-is-the-story-of-chinnamma-and-the-poojappura-mahila-mandir/ |date=22 November 2021 |archive-date=22 November 2021 |access-date=24 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122061118/https://mediamalayalam.com/this-is-the-story-of-chinnamma-and-the-poojappura-mahila-mandir/ |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chinnamma Memorial Girls High School&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; in Thiruvanathapuram is named after her.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and education==&lt;br /&gt;
Son of Nandalal Sarkar, a native of [[Jaynagar Majilpur]], he was born in the house of his maternal uncle in [[Netra, Diamond Harbour|Netra]] village of [[South 24 Parganas]] district, on 28 October 1866. His father came from an impoverished family in [[Jessore (city)|Jessore]] and later settled in Jaynagar. Doctor and philanthropist Sir [[Nilratan Sircar]] was Jogindranath&#039;s elder brother.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Sarkar,_Jogindranath|publisher=Banglapaedia|title=Jogindranath Sarkar}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Jogindranath was a member of the [[Brahmo Samaj]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jogindranath studied at Deoghar High School and was admitted to [[City College, Kolkata|City College]], but was unable to complete his degree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career and writings==&lt;br /&gt;
He then began teaching at City Collegiate School, Kolkata, and became interested in writing children&#039;s literature at around the same time. He was adept at [[nonsense verse]]. His work was published in various Bengali children&#039;s magazines, including &#039;&#039;[[Sandesh (magazine)|Sandesh]]&#039;&#039;.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} He was also the editor of the children&#039;s magazine &#039;&#039;[[Mukul (magazine)|Mukul]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular books include &#039;&#039;Hasi Khushi&#039;&#039; (1897), and his illustrated books of poetry &#039;&#039;Khukumanir Chhada&#039;&#039; (1899) and &#039;&#039;Hasirashi&#039;&#039; (1899). Other books for children include &#039;&#039;Chhabi-O-Galpo&#039;&#039; (1892), &#039;&#039;Ranga Chhabi&#039;&#039; (1896), &#039;&#039;Pashu-Paksi&#039;&#039; (1911), &#039;&#039;Bane-Jangale&#039;&#039; (1929), &#039;&#039;Galpa Sanchay&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Shishu Chayanika&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Hijibiji&#039;&#039;, and others. In addition, he wrote schoolbooks for children, among them &#039;&#039;Gyanamukul&#039;&#039; (1890), &#039;&#039;Charupath&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;Shiksa Sanchay&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1896 Jogindranath established the City Book Society, which published [[Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury]]&#039;s debut book &#039;&#039;Chheleder Ramayana&#039;&#039;, an adaptation of the &#039;&#039;[[Ramayana]]&#039;&#039; for young readers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite suffering from [[hemiparesis|hemiplegia]] from 1923, Jogindranath continued to write and publish until his death in 1937.&lt;br /&gt;
