==Durand Cup==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Durand Cup]] is the oldest tournament in Asia. Before 1926, Indian clubs were not allowed to participate in the tournament. East Bengal participated in the tournament for the first time in 1926 and reached the third round, before losing to the eventual champions the [[Durham Light Infantry]]. The Indian clubs were again not allowed to participate until after Independence when the tournament was restarted in 1950. East Bengal won their first Durand title in 1951, defeating Rajasthan Club 2–1 in the final. The Red and Gold brigade have won the tournament 16 times, only behind arch-rivals [[Mohun Bagan Super Giant|Mohun Bagan]] who has won the tournament 17 times, for the most titles in the tournament&#039;s history.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=East Bengal - Performance in Durand Cup|url=http://eastbengalclub.co.in/durandcup-stat.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523175326/http://eastbengalclub.co.in/durandcup-stat.html|work=East Bengal Club|accessdate=18 November 2020|archivedate=23 May 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Rovers Cup==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Rovers Cup]] was the third most prestigious football tournament in India, alongside the Durand Cup and the IFA Shield, forming the coveted &#039;&#039;Triple Crown&#039;&#039; of Indian football. East Bengal first participated in the tournament in 1941, reaching the Quarter-Finals in their inaugural appearance before losing to the Wales Regiment. The Red and Gold brigade first lifted the Rovers Cup in 1949 and have won it 10 times when the tournament was abolished in 2001.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=East Bengal - Performance in Rovers Cup|url=http://eastbengalclub.co.in/roverscup-stat.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523175432/http://eastbengalclub.co.in/roverscup-stat.html|work=East Bengal Club|accessdate=18 November 2020|archivedate=23 May 2019|url-status=bot: unknown}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History and description==&lt;br /&gt;
It presents a scene during the [[Siege of Seringapatam (1799)|Siege of Seringapatam]] in 1799. [[General Baird]], a senior [[British Army|British]] officer and accompanying troops encounter the body of the [[Tipu Sultan]]. The ruler of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]] and an ally of [[First French Republic|France]] he was killed when Anglo-Indian forces stormed his capital [[Seringapatam]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has been described as the artist&#039;s &amp;quot;last and largest major work&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tromans p.340&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The depiction of General Baird was posthumous as he had retired from active service after the 1809 [[Battle of Corunna]] and died in 1829. It was commissioned by his widow Anne.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tromans p.262&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Wilkie based his image of the general on a portrait of him by [[Henry Raeburn]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tromans p.264&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was displayed at the [[Royal Academy]]&#039;s 1839 [[Summer Exhibition]]. It is today in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, having been acquired in 1985.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/5685/general-sir-david-baird-discovering-body-sultan-tippoo-sahib-after-having-captured-seringapatam-4th&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle in which this scene occurs is also the opening of the novel &#039;&#039;[[The Moonstone]]&#039;&#039;, by [[Wilkie Collins]]. The author was named after David Wilkie, who was his [[Godparent|godfather]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Research==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Culture and Development ===&lt;br /&gt;
Studies under this theme have largely been historical. They explore the cultural and ideological bases of development in Kerala and the shifts in culture and ideology that shape particular development outcomes. The history of the shaping of public consent for state-sponsored artificial birth-control, the discursive dimensions of community assertion in development, the sub-nationalist ideology bolstered by developmentalism forming the basis of post-independence Kerala, and the discursive dimensions of gender and development have been actively explored at CDS. These studies have mostly relied on archival research and importantly, textual analysis, as their principal methods. Essentially, they represent interdisciplinary research at CDS which has appeared in a whole range of internationally and nationally renowned research journals across the social sciences and humanities. They examine the intertwining of development, politics, culture, and social institutions in Kerala that significantly shape the people&#039;s well-being. Other studies include those on the cultural and historical aspects of women&#039;s mobility into politics and paid work. Recent studies include those of the impacts of extraneous cultural flows that shaped Kerala&#039;s specific historical experience of socio-political change in the twentieth century facilitated by mobility across colonial and post-colonial geographies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Decentralisation and Governance ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the 1990s when the 73rd and 74th Amendments of the Indian Constitution came into force, decentralisation and local governance have been crucial to questions of welfare and development in India. This coincided with an interest in developing planning from below in ways that deepened democracy in Kerala, and with accelerated urban expansion in Kerala and elsewhere. Also, the coming of decentralised democracy meant the expansion of opportunities for women, both in the elected local bodies through reservations and in self-help groups. Research at CDS has followed these processes from different disciplinary perspectives and different methodological perspectives. Major projects that focused on local level development since the 1990s have been carried out. Studies have ranged from changing institutional structures of local governance, welfare programmes and redistribution, social security, infrastructural development, to local government finances. The Research Unit on Local Self-Government at CDS has been carrying out research on agriculture and local self-government and on environmental challenges in urban areas. Gender has been a key theme in research on local government at CDS. This has included research on elected women leaders in Kerala&#039;s rural and urban local bodies, gender budgeting in panchayats, and the state-wide network of women&#039;s self-help groups under the Kerala State Poverty Alleviation Mission, the [[Kudumbashree Mission|Kudumbashree]]. Recent work includes research into the opportunities opened by decentralisation for women of the most marginal communities in Kerala and the ways in which these women have availed of them. A small but significant theme that is emergent is about the challenges in urban governance in a rapidly urbanising Kerala. Studies on urban housing schemes implemented by local governments are ongoing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Gender and Development ===&lt;br /&gt;
Research in this domain has been quite diverse in terms of themes and disciplinary orientations. At present, there is cross disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary research that brings a gender perspective to bear on problems of labour, livelihoods, politics, health, migration and marriage.&amp;amp;nbsp; Gendered power relations were implicated even when not explicitly probed in the early research at the centre (1970s) on questions of fertility transition and human development. Even as research in the 1980s and 1990s brought a clear focus on women&#039;s work and employment, including the implications of wider definitions of work for computing national income, on women in agriculture and fisheries, and on understanding how women made good in the context of large scale male migration to the Middle East.&amp;amp;nbsp; The evolution of the CDS research agenda through critical engagement with earlier perspectives on development has been particularly marked in the case of the research on gender and caste since 2000.&amp;amp;nbsp; Gender in contemporary Kerala has been the focus of significant research.&amp;amp;nbsp; Recent research on gender and politics in Kerala has addressed decentralised governance, feminisation of local governance and student politics in higher educational institutions.&amp;amp;nbsp; Gendered livelihoods have come into focus in the context of self-help initiatives of women even as the persisting low female work participation in India and Kerala has continued to receive attention.&amp;amp;nbsp; There is ongoing work on state policy and the implication of gender and caste / religious identities in international migration of women workers from South India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Human Development, Health and Education ===&lt;br /&gt;
Human development continues to be a celebrated theme of enquiry at the centre for the state&#039;s paradoxical distinction in this regard which compares with the developed world.&amp;amp;nbsp; The challenge of human development in the state unfolds perspectives like its sustainability in the long run as well as its virtues of inclusion.&amp;amp;nbsp; The compulsion of shrinking social sector investment coupled with public provisioning of health and education getting complemented by private provisioning poses a threat to sustainability and furthering of its achievements. Enquiries in the field of Health and education remain beyond their instrumental role in the assessment of human development. Topics of health research span from understanding economic of health and health care to equity, pricing and health system analysis in keeping with the evolving epidemiological transition. The alternative dimensions of health research include assessment of disease burden,&amp;amp;nbsp; modes of care provisioning during ultimate years of life along with concerns of sustaining better health indicators in the event of population ageing that is underway. With an evolving public-private mix in the provisioning of health care, health care decision making in consideration of cost and quality has been another prominent engagement in the field of health research. Allied topics like under-nutrition, dietary diversification as well as over/under utilisation of health care are also examined towards commenting upon the healthy makeup of the society. Similarly, works relating to the theme of education involves assessment of educational progress with its varied facets of characteristic inclusion, connections with the emerging labour market and educated unemployment, etc. Issues concerning quality of education, higher education and technical education too are highlights of centre&#039;s work in the field of education.&amp;amp;nbsp; The significance of enquiries in these two vital areas of human capability needs strengthening with theoretical formulations based on economic principles beyond the empirics that have been our strength till date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Industry and Trade ===&lt;br /&gt;
Issues related to industry, trade and investments comprise one of the core areas of research at the centre. Research related to industry specifically look into various aspects including performance of the Indian corporate sector, role of MNCs in Indian manufacturing sector, spillover effects of FDI inflows, implications of Global Value Chain, mergers and acquisitions, etc. There have been a number of studies specific to sectors like electronics, pharmaceutical, capital goods, paper, tea, etc. Another set of studies analyse issues like frugal innovation, STI policies, R&amp;amp;D tax incentives and IPR policy. Issues like competition policy, corporate governance, regional concentration and urban formation, diffusion of automation, innovation, disinvestments and CSR have also been well researched upon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Innovation and Technology ===&lt;br /&gt;
The role of innovation in fostering and sustaining economic growth of nation states is now fairly well established. Innovation is the commercial introduction of new processes and products, essentially by firms. There are two different aspects of innovation that has merited the attention of researchers. First, is the generation of innovation and second is its diffusion within the economy. It was initially believed that the generation and diffusion of innovation happened in splendid isolation by the firm through its investments in R&amp;amp;D. However, towards the beginning of the 1990s, this view of generation and diffusion of innovation has undergone many radical changes. A number of research studies reflective these five concerns or dimensions are currently undertaken at the centre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Labour, Employment and Social Security ===&lt;br /&gt;
Research in CDS on this theme has a long history with a wide canvass, that is continuously evolving both in terms of research themes and methodological approaches. In line with the prevailing economic structures of early 1970s research in CDS had contextualised the structural transformation including agrarian transformation in Kerala and focused on questions of agrarian structure and labour relations; emerging industrial workforce and industrial relations; and labour market outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Macroeconomic performance ===&lt;br /&gt;
Studies under this theme can be classified into those focusing on long term macroeconomic performance of Indian economy and those analysing short run macroeconomic issues such as monetary policy and inflation. Studies belonging to the first category focused on issues like long term growth performance of Indian economy. These studies made an attempt to identify and explain the growth phases of Indian economy. One study tries to explain these growth phases in terms of cumulative causation emerging out of positive feedback between producer services sectors and manufacturing sector. Another study examines the role of the crisis, change in economic policy regime and export performance in the growth trajectory of Indian economy. A third one analysed the relationship between public policy and economic growth in the Indian context.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Migration ===&lt;br /&gt;
Linkages between migration, economic growth, income distribution, and social change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Plantation Crops ===&lt;br /&gt;
Research on plantation sector in CDS is being undertaken at the instance of the National Research Programme on Plantation Development sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce.&amp;amp;nbsp; The programme is expected to undertake policy oriented research on all aspects of plantation sector in India and help research capacity building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Politics and Development ===&lt;br /&gt;
Studies in this theme have considered the larger questions of shifting relationships between the state, political society and the formal political public, and particular regimes of development, particularly, development policy. The shifts in politics, welfare, and the move from government to governance that characterised the 1990s have been of considerable interest here. Studies that reflect on the politics of the shift from centralised government to decentralised governance, and of the political economy of agrarian change in the wake of the intensifying impacts of globalising [[neoliberalism|neoliberal capitalism]], the politics of gender emergent in urban governance, have been carried out. Also, historical work on the politics of welfare in pre- and post-independence Kerala, on marginalisation, exclusion, and abjection in development particularly with reference to dalit people and sexual minorities, and local histories on politics and development in micro-sites of extreme marginalisation and deprivation in Kerala have been published. These studies too constitute a significant part of the interdisciplinary research at CDS in the recent decades. Methodologically, most of these studies employ a diverse set of tools. Most often, descriptive statistics, qualitative methods including interviews of different kinds, focus group discussions, and participant observation, as well as textual and discourse analyses are employed and triangulated. Most of them also deploy a historical perspective that traces different strands of social and political change across time.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;HMIS &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039; (J182)&#039;&#039;&#039; was a {{sclass|Bangor|minesweeper}} built for the [[Royal Navy]], but transferred to the [[Royal Indian Navy]] (RIN) during the Second World War.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Design and description==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Bangor&#039;&#039; class was designed as a small minesweeper that could be easily built in large numbers by civilian shipyards; as [[steam turbine]]s were difficult to manufacture, the ships were designed to accept a wide variety of engines. &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039; displaced {{convert|656|LT|t}} at [[Displacement (ship)|standard]] load and {{convert|820|LT|t}} at [[deep load]]. The ship had an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|174|ft|m|1}}, a [[beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|28|ft|6|in|m|1}} and a [[draft (hull)|draught]] of {{convert|10|ft|3|in|m|1}}.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lenton, pp. 253–54&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The ship&#039;s complement consisted of 60 officers and [[naval rating|ratings]].&amp;lt;ref name=c1&amp;gt;Chesneau, p. 64&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was powered by two [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] geared steam turbines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two [[Admiralty three-drum boiler]]s. The engines produced a total of {{convert|2000|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|16|kn|lk=in}}. &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039; carried a maximum of {{convert|160|LT|t|0}} of [[fuel oil]] that gave her a range of {{convert|2800|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|10|kn}}.&amp;lt;ref name=l3&amp;gt;Lenton, p. 254&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The turbine-powered &#039;&#039;Bangor&#039;&#039;s were armed with a [[QF 3 inch 20 cwt|12-pounder {{convert|3|in|mm|adj=on}}]] [[anti-aircraft gun]] and a single [[QF 2-pounder naval gun|QF 2-pounder (4&amp;amp;nbsp;cm)]] AA gun. In some ships the 2-pounder was replaced a single or twin  [[Oerlikon 20 mm cannon|20 mm Oerlikon]] AA gun, while most ships were fitted with four additional single Oerlikon mounts over the course of the war.&amp;lt;ref name=l3/&amp;gt; For escort work, her minesweeping gear could be exchanged for around 40 [[depth charge]]s.&amp;lt;ref name=c1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Construction and career==&lt;br /&gt;
HMIS &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039; was originally ordered from the [[Blyth Shipbuilding Company]] for the [[Royal Navy]] as HMS &#039;&#039;Greenock&#039;&#039; in 1939. However, before she was launched, she was transferred to the Royal Indian Navy and eventually commissioned as &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=u-greenock&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3174.html |title=HMS Greenock (J 182) of the Royal Navy - British Minesweeper of the Bangor class - Allied Warships of WWII |publisher=uboat.net |access-date=2015-08-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She served in the RIN during World War II. &#039;&#039;Baluchistan&#039;&#039; was a part of the [[Eastern Fleet]], and escorted numerous convoys between [[Africa]], [[British India]] and [[Australia]] in 1943–45.&amp;lt;ref name=nh-1943&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.naval-history.net/xDKWD-EF1943b.htm |title=Eastern Fleet War Diary 1943 |publisher=Naval-history.net |access-date=2015-08-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=nh-1944&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.naval-history.net/xDKWD-EF1944-11.htm |title=East Indies Fleet War Diary 1944 |publisher=Naval-history.net |date=1944-12-30 |access-date=2015-08-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=nh-1945&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.naval-history.net/xDKWD-EF1945.htm |title=East Indies Fleet War Diary 1945 |publisher=Naval-history.net |access-date=2015-08-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Partition of India|independence]], she was among the vessels transferred to Pakistan, where she was renamed PNS &#039;&#039;[[Baluchistan]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

== Chief of Air Staff ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 8 November 1994, [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] [[Benazir Bhutto]] approved the promotion papers of Air-Mshl. Khattak to be promoted to the [[Four-star rank|four-star]] rank, [[Air Chief Marshal]]. This promotion was controversial since Air-Mshl. Khattak superseded two senior [[air officer]]s: Air-Mshl. Shafique Haider (the [[Vice Chief of Air Staff (Pakistan)|Vice Chief of the Air Staff]]), and Air-Mshl. [[Dilawar Hussain (air marshal)|Dilawar Hussain]] ([[Chairman]] [[Pakistan Aeronautical Complex|PAC]]).{{rp|49–50}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Globe|date=1994|publisher=Afzal Mahmood|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xzhnAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=Director+general|access-date=6 January 2018|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The reason this appointment was highly controversial is because the departing Chief of Air Staff Farooq Feroze Khan struck a deal behind closed doors with Benazir and Zardari to appoint him as the Joint Chief of Staff and in exchange he would allow Zardari to promote Khattak as the Chief of Air Staff. Khattak and Zardari have been accused of receiving millions of dollars in kickback from a Mirage deal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;former Air Force employee&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his tenureship as [[Chief of Air Staff (Pakistan)|air chief]], ACM Khattak made attempts to acquire the [[Mirage 2000|Mirage-2000]] from [[Qatar]] but vetoed the acquisition of [[Mikoyan MiG-29|MiG-29F]] and the [[Sukhoi Su-27|Su-27]] aircraft from the [[Eastern Europe]], despite the strong backing of the then-[[Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee|Chairman joint chiefs]], ACM [[Farooq Feroze Khan|Feroze Khan]], due to their poor war performances.{{rp|58–60}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Air Force Chief says that F-16s &amp;quot;Not Indispensable&amp;quot;|date=1994|publisher=Daily Report: Near East &amp;amp; South Asia, The Service|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=92dPTgGKdosC&amp;amp;q=Farooq+Feroze+Khan+mig+29|access-date=5 January 2018|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During his tenure, Pakistan worked with [[China]]  to develop the [[Hongdu JL-8|K-8 Karakorum]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.pacom.mil/forum/SPRING_97/Chiefcon_r.html Asia Pacific Defense Forum Spring 1998] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828103454/http://www.pacom.mil/forum/SPRING_97/Chiefcon_r.html |date=28 August 2007 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After his retirement he was succeeded by Air Chief Marshal [[Parvaiz Mehdi Qureshi|PQ Mehdi]].&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;History of [[Karnataka]]&#039;&#039;&#039; goes back several millennia. Several great empires and dynasties have ruled over Karnataka and have contributed greatly to the history, culture and development of Karnataka as well as the entire [[Indian subcontinent]]. The Chindaka Nagas of central India Gangas,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dr. Suryanath U. Kamat, &#039;&#039;Concise history of Karnataka&#039;&#039;kaushik, 2001, MCC, Bangalore (Reprinted 2002)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Rashtrakutas of [[Manyakheta]],&amp;lt;ref group=&amp;quot;note&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Dr. D.R. Bhandarkar argues that even the viceroys (&#039;&#039;Dandanayaka&#039;&#039;) of the Gujarat line hailing from the Rashtrakuta family signed their Sanskrit records in Kannada, examples of which are the Navasari and Baroda plates of Karka I and the Baroda records of Dhruva II. The Gujarat Rashtrakuta princes used Kannada signatures as this was the mode of writing in their native country, meaning Kannada country says Dr. Bhandarkar, &#039;&#039;A Concise History of Karnataka&#039;&#039;,  Dr. Suryanath U. Kamath&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chalukyas of Vengi,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dr. Suryanath Kamath, Prof. K.A.N. Sastri, Arthikaje&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Yadava Dynasty of Devagiri were all of Kannada origin&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dr. Ritti has argued thus. Even though the [[Seuna]] or Yadava ruled from Devagiri (850–1315), literature in Kannada was prolific in their kingdom along with Sanskrit, coinage with Kannada legends have been discovered and most of their inscriptions are in Kannada, indicating that they were Kannadaigas who migrated north due to political situation. Marathi literature started from around 1190 C.E., Dr. Suryanath U. Kamat, &#039;&#039;Concise history of Karnataka&#039;&#039;, 2001, MCC, Bangalore (Reprinted 2002)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; who later took to encouraging local languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the medieval and early modern periods, the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] and the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] became the major powers in Karnataka. The latter disintegrated to form five [[Deccan sultanates|Deccan Sultanates]]. The Deccan Sultanates defeated the Vijayanagara Empire in 1565.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the [[Maratha Empire]] ruled most of present-day north Karnataka. Maratha rule was most fortified in the northern regions of present-day Karnataka. The first Maratha expeditions in the region were led by [[Chhatrapati Shivaji]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://karnataka.pscnotes.com/main-notes/general-studies/rise-of-maratha-empire/ |title=Rise of Maratha Empire - KPSC Exam Free Notes |date=5 June 2017 |access-date=25 November 2022 |archive-date=25 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125054500/https://karnataka.pscnotes.com/main-notes/general-studies/rise-of-maratha-empire/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As Maratha power weakened in the 1780s, the [[Kingdom of Mysore]] began occupying lands in [[Southern Karnataka]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Anglo-Mysore Wars]], where the [[East India Company]] defeated the forces of [[Tipu Sultan]], Company Rule began in India. Karnataka was divided between the [[Bombay Presidency]], the Kingdom of Mysore and the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India  became Independent in 1947, and according to the [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956|States Reorganization Act, 1956]], the [[Kannada]]-speaking areas of Hyderabad State, Madras State were unified with [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore State]]. The state was renamed as &#039;&#039;Karnataka&#039;&#039; in 1973.&lt;br /&gt;

==Prehistory==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Political history of medieval Karnataka|Etymology of Karnataka|Karnataka History Timeline|Chronology of Karnataka}}&lt;br /&gt;
The credit for doing early extensive study of prehistoric Karnataka goes to Robert Bruce-Foote and this work was later continued by many other scholars.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;other&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Scholars such as R.V.Joshi, S.Nagaraju, A.Sundara etc. (Kamath 2001, p15)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The pre-historic culture of Karnataka (and South India in general) is called the hand-axe culture, as opposed to the Sohan culture of North India. Paleolithic hand axes and cleavers in the shape of pebbles made with quartz and quartzite which have been found in places such as [[Lingadahalli]] in [[Chikkamagaluru district]] and [[Hunasagi]] in [[Yadgir district]], and a wooden spike at [[Kibbanahalli]] in [[Tumkur district]] are examples of old Stone Age implements.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;other1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Discovered by Dr. K. Paddayya in 1974 (Kamath 2001, pp15-16)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There are reports that a polished [[stone axe]] was discovered at [[Lingasugur]] in the [[Raichur district]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;prim&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The hand axe was discovered by Primrose (Kamath 2001, p15)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.hindu.com/2005/01/10/stories/2005011001090500.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050122081845/http://www.hindu.com/2005/01/10/stories/2005011001090500.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2005-01-22 |title= First-ever celt was found near Madikeri |access-date=2007-05-06 |location=Chennai, India |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=2005-01-10}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Neolithic sites (new Stone Age) of importance are [[Maski]] in [[Raichur district]], [[Brahmagiri archaeological site|Brahmagiri]] in [[Chitradurga district]] etc., with abundance of evidence that man begun to domesticate animals such as cows, dogs and sheep, use copper and bronze weapons, wear bangles, rings, necklaces of beads and ear-rings and have burial chambers. To the end of the Neolithic era, during the [[Megalithic]] age, people in Karnataka began to use long swords, sickles, axes, hammers, spikes, chisels and arrows, all made of iron.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;chamber&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Kamath (2001), p18&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Evidence of [[Neolithic]] habitation of areas in modern Karnataka and [[celt (tool)|celt]]s dating back to the 2nd century [[Before Common Era|BCE]] were first discovered in 1872.

Karnataka was the part of the [[Maurya Empire]], the first Mauryan Emperor [[Chandragupta Maurya]] died in [[Shravanbelgola]] in [[Hassan District]] around 298 BCE where he spent the last days of his life as a Jain ascetic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.lonelyplanet.in/articles/4614/short-escape-from-bengaluru-shravanabelagola-karnataka|title=Best Escape: Shravanabelagola, Karnataka|first=Lonely|last=Planet|website=Lonely Planet India|access-date=22 March 2018|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303224639/http://www.lonelyplanet.in/articles/4614/short-escape-from-bengaluru-shravanabelagola-karnataka|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around 239 BCE, the [[Satavahana]] dynasty came to power and its rule lasted nearly four centuries, until the early 3rd century CE. The disintegration of the Satavahana dynasty led to the ascent of the earliest native kingdoms, the [[Kadamba Dynasty]] of [[Banavasi]] in modern [[Uttara Kannada]] district with [[Mayuravarma]], a native of [[Talagunda]] in modern [[Shivamogga district]] as the founding king,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;origin&amp;quot;&amp;gt;From the Talagunda inscription (Dr. B.

They were followed by large imperial empires, the [[Badami Chalukyas]], [[Rashtrakuta Dynasty]] and [[Western Chalukya Empire]], who had their regal capitals in modern Karnataka region and patronized Kannada language and literature.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ex&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Considerable number of their records are in Kannada (Kamath 2001, p67, p73, pp88-89, p114)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;natural&amp;quot;&amp;gt;7th century Badami Chalukya inscriptions call Kannada the natural language (Thapar 2003, p345)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;earlylit1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Altekar (1934), pp411–413&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;early2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Even royalty of the Rashtrakuta empire took part in poetic and literary activities (Thapar 2003, p334)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;patron&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Narasimhacharya (1988), p68, p17–21&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;eralylit2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Reu (1933), pp37–38&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;administrator&amp;quot;&amp;gt;More inscriptions in Kannada are attributed to the Chalukya King [[Vikramaditya VI]] than to any other king prior to the 12th century, {{cite web|url=http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/deccan/deckings.htm|title=Chalukyas of Kalyana|author=Kamat, Jyotsna|publisher=1996–2006 Kamat&#039;s Potpourri|access-date=2006-12-24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Badami Chalukyas ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Badami Chalukyas}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Chalukya dynasty|Badami Chalukyas]] ruled between the 6th and the 8th centuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pattadakal&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/239/|title=Group of Monuments at Pattadakal|website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190323221035/http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/239/|archive-date=2019-03-23|url-status=live|access-date=2019-03-27}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Badami Chalukyas began to assert their independence at the decline of the [[Kadamba Dynasty|Kadamba]] kingdom of [[Banavasi]] and rapidly rose to prominence during the reign of [[Pulakeshin&amp;amp;nbsp;II]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rule of the Chalukyas marks an important milestone in the history of [[South India]] and a [[Golden Age|golden age]] in the history of [[Karnataka]]. The political atmosphere in South India shifted from smaller kingdoms to large empires with the ascendancy of Badami Chalukyas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rashtrakutas ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Rashtrakuta Empire}}&lt;br /&gt;
The Rashtrakutas were originally vassals of the Badami Chalukyas. [[Dantidurga]] overthrew the Chalukya ruler [[Kirtivarman II]] in 735 CE, and established the rule of the [[Rashtrakuta dynasty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this period, important contributions were made in the field of literature, arts, and mathematics. [[Amoghavarsha I]], the most famous king of this dynasty wrote &#039;&#039;[[Kavirajamarga]]&#039;&#039;, a landmark literary work in the [[Kannada]] language. Important mathematical theories and axioms were postulated by [[Mahavira (mathematician)|Mahaviracharya]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Western Chalukyas ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Western Chalukyas}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Western Chalukya Empire|Western Chalukyas]] ruled Karnataka between 973 and 1189 CE. In 973, seeing confusion in the Rashtrakuta Empire after an invasion of their capital by the ruler of the [[Paramara dynasty]] of [[Malwa]], [[Tailapa II]] (a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta dynasty ruling from [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur]]) defeated his overlords and made Manyakheta his capital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Western Gangas ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Western Ganga Kingdom}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Map Showing Greatest Extent Of Ganga Kingdom Of Talakadu.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Western Ganga dynasty|Western Ganga]] dynasty was founded around 350 CE, ruling southern Karnataka. Their sovereignty lasted from about 350 to 550 CE, after which they ruled as vassals of the [[Chalukya dynasty|Badami Chalukyas]], [[Rashtrakuta Dynasty|Rashtrakutas]], and [[Western Chalukya Empire|Western Chalukyas]]. Their rule came to an end after the disintegration of the [[Western Chalukya Empire|Western Chalukyas]] in 1000 CE.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Shravanabelagola Bahubali wideframe.jpg|alt=|left|thumb|180x180px|The [[Gommateshwara statue]] at [[Shravanbelagola]] was built during the 10th century CE by the [[Western Ganga dynasty|Western Ganga Kingdom]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
Though a small kingdom, the Western Ganga contribution to [[polity]], culture and literature of the modern south Karnataka region is considered important. The Western Ganga kings showed benevolent tolerance to all faiths but are most famous for their patronage toward [[Jainism]] resulting in the construction of monuments in places such as [[Shravanabelagola]] and [[Kambadahalli]]. The kings of this dynasty encouraged the fine arts due to which literature in [[Kannada]] and [[Sanskrit]] flourished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hoysala Empire ===&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Hoysala Empire}}&lt;br /&gt;
Natives of the [[malnad]] Karnataka, the Hoysalas established the [[Hoysala Empire]] at the turn of the first millennium. Art and architecture flourished in the region during this time resulting in distinctive Kannada literary metres and the construction of temples and sculptures adhering to the &#039;&#039;Vesara&#039;&#039; style of architecture.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;patron&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sang1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Kamath (2001), pp. 132–134&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sang&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Sastri (1955), pp. 359, 361&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;chenna&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Foekema (1996), p. 14&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;chenna1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Kamath (2001), p. 124&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The expansion of the Hoysala Empire brought large parts of modern Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu under their rule.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;arbiters&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The [[Tamil people|Tamil]] city of Kannanur Kuppam near [[Srirangam]] became the second capital of the Hoysalas during the rule of [[Vira Narasimha II]].

The Hoysalas were arbiters of [[South Indian]] politics and took up the leadership role (B.S.K.

In the early 14th century, the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] with its capital at Hosapattana (later to be called [[Vijayanagara]]) rose to successfully challenge the Muslim invasions into the South. This empire was established by [[Harihara I]] and Bukka Raya who many historians claim were commanders of the last Hoysala King [[Veera Ballala III]] and the empire prospered for over two centuries.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Kannadaempire&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[P.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Vijayanagara rulers patronized culture, and a distinct form of [[Vijayanagara literature|literature]] and [[Vijayanagara architecture|architecture]] evolved during this period. The best example of Vijayanagara architecture is seen in the ruined city of Hampi.&amp;lt;ref name=Hampi&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/241/|title=Group of Monuments at Hampi|website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215222148/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/241|archive-date=2018-12-15|url-status=live|access-date=2019-03-27}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Battle of Talikota ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Battle of Talikota}}&lt;br /&gt;
The main rivals of the Vijayanagara empire were the five [[Deccan sultanates|Deccan Sultanates]], who defeated the empire in 1565 at the [[Battle of Talikota]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two generals of the Vijayanagara army switched sides and turned their loyalty to the united Sultanates. They captured [[Aliya Rama Raya]] and beheaded him on the spot. The beheading of [[Aliya Rama Raya|Rama Raya]] created confusion and havoc and in the still loyal portions of the Vijayanagara army, which were then completely routed.

After the defeat and disintegration of the Vijayanagara Empire in battle at Talikota in 1565 to a confederacy of Sultanates, the Bijapur Sultanate rose as the main power in the Deccan before their defeat to the [[Mogul Empire|Mughal Empire]] in late 17th century.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;conf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Kamath (2001), p. 201&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;erst&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Kamath (2001), p. 202&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Mughal Emperor [[Aurangzeb]] gave the order to [[Siege of Bijapur|besiege Bijapur]] and after a 15-month-long siege, the Mughal army emerged victorious and the [[Adil Shahi dynasty]] came to an end.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Shivaji British Museum.jpg|thumb|left|Chhatrapati Shivaji led the initial Maratha campaigns into Karnataka in the 1670s]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Maratha Empire}}&lt;br /&gt;
Most of Karnataka was conquered by the Maratha Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries. The first expeditions were led by [[Chhatrapati Shivaji]].  After Shivaji&#039;s death in 1680, his son [[Chhatrapati Sambhaji]] inherited the throne of the Marathas. He ruled until [[execution of Sambhaji|his capture, torture, and execution]] by the Mughal emperor [[Aurangzeb]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2022-05-06 |title=On the history trail: Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj tortured to death in the most barbaric way ever seen by Aurangzeb |url=https://sahasa.in/2022/05/06/on-the-history-trail-chhatrapati-sambhaji-maharaj-tortured-to-death-in-the-most-barbaric-way-ever-seen-by-aurangzeb/ |access-date=2022-11-25 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in 1689. From this time until 1707, the [[war of 27 years]] was fought in the Deccan, including Karnataka. The Mughals raided the region several times but struggled in conquering the territory. The Maratha Empire continued to rule over the majority of Karnataka until the rise of Mysore in the 1760s and 1770s decades. Even after the Mysore-Maratha wars, the Marathas held onto the majority of Northern Karnataka until 1818.&lt;br /&gt;

==The Rise of Mysore ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Anglo-Mysore Wars|Tipu Sultan}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Indian_Mysore_Kingdom_1784_map.svg|left|thumb|Map of the Kingdom of Mysore at its peak during the reign of Tipu Sultan ]]&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Wodeyar]]s of Mysore, former vassals of the Vijayanagara Empire, After the fall of vijayanagara empire Mysore became independent kingdom 17th-18th century. With the death of [[Krishnaraja Wodeyar II]], [[Hyder Ali|Haider Ali]], the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Mysore Army, assumed control over the region, until the rule of the kingdom was passed to [[Tipu Sultan]], after Haider Ali&#039;s death. In attempting to contain European expansion in South India, Tipu Sultan, known as the &#039;&#039;Tiger of Mysore&#039;&#039; fought four significant [[Anglo-Mysore Wars]], the last of which resulted in his death and the incorporation of Mysore into a princely state of the [[British Raj]].&lt;br /&gt;

Following Tipu&#039;s fall, a part of the kingdom of Mysore was annexed and divided between the Madras Presidency and the Nizam. The remaining territory was transformed into a princely state; the five-year-old scion of the Wodeyar family, [[Krishnaraja Wodeyar III|Krishnaraja III]], was installed on the throne with chief minister (&#039;&#039;Diwan&#039;&#039;) [[Purnaiah]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore State]] and [[Hyderabad State]], which ruled most of Karnataka by the mid-nineteenth century, were allied with the British during the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Mysorepalace.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Mysore Palace]], completed in 1912, was the residence of the [[Wadiyar dynasty]] which ruled the [[Kingdom of Mysore]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 1799, the Kingdom of Mysore signed a Protectorate treaty with the British Empire. The British then helped the Wadiyar dynasty come back to power after 2 generations of Islamic rule. During this time, railways and airways, as well as modern universities were introduced in the Kingdom of Mysore, which was ruled by the Wadiyar dynasty. The Kingdom of Mysore became a [[princely state]] by this time. The [[Indian Institute of Science]] (1909) and [[University of Mysore]] (1916) were the first educational institutions established in Karnataka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Independence movement ==&lt;br /&gt;
Though the British assisted the Kingdom of Mysore, the British period was a time of racial discrimination, economic exploitation, and [[Timeline of major famines in India during British rule|numerous preventable famines]], most notably in the areas directly administered by the British, which was known then as &#039;&#039;British India&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the late 19th century, the independence movement had gained momentum; [[Aluru Venkata Raya]], [[S. Nijalingappa]], [[Kengal Hanumanthaiah]], [[Nittoor Srinivasa Rau]] and others carried on the struggle into the early 20th century. Strong independence movements erupted across the regions of Karnataka under British direct rule.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Unification of Karnataka ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main |Unification of Karnataka}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Jayachandra-maharaja-wadiyar.jpg|thumb|upright|left|[[Jayachamaraja Wodeyar]], the last ruling [[Maharaja of Mysore]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
After Indian independence, the [[Wodeyar]] Maharaja acceded to India. In 1950, [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]] became an Indian state, and the former Maharaja became its &#039;&#039;[[rajpramukh]]&#039;&#039;, or governor, until 1975. The [[Unification of Karnataka|&#039;&#039;Ekikarana&#039;&#039; movement]] which started in the later half of the 20th century, culminated in the &#039;&#039;[[States Reorganisation Act]]&#039;&#039; of 1956 which provided for parts of [[Coorg]], [[Madras State|Madras]], [[Hyderabad state|Hyderabad]], and [[Bombay state]]s to be incorporated into the [[Mysore State|state of Mysore]]. Mysore state was renamed &#039;&#039;Karnataka&#039;&#039; in 1973.  The state of Mysore was formed on 1 November 1956 and since then 1 November of every year is celebrated as [[Kannada Rajyotsava]] / [[Karnataka Rajyotsava]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Post-unification ===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[1957 Mysore Legislative Assembly election|1957 elections]] saw the [[Indian National Congress]] win 150 seats out of 208, and [[S. Nijalingappa]] was retained as Chief Minister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Congress retained its power in Karnataka till 1983, when the [[Janata Party]] formed the first non-Congress government in Karnataka with the support of other smaller parties. Subsequent elections have seen power switch between the Congress, [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], and other parties.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Kaushik Krish hails from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and studied Visual Communication at [[Loyola College, Chennai]]. During his time at Loyola College he became close friends with Jeeva, one half of the music duo [[Hiphop Tamizha]], who was his classmate, and this connection led to his entry into professional music and to his association with [[Hiphop Tamizha]]’s studio work and projects&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Ramanujam |first=Srinivasa |date=2020-05-13 |title=How composer Kaushik Krish found his musical calling |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/how-composer-kaushik-krish-found-his-musical-calling/article59859756.ece |access-date=2026-02-07 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X |archive-date=2024-09-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240925092131/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/how-composer-kaushik-krish-found-his-musical-calling/article59859756.ece |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2015-09-13 |title=Kaushik Krish of Thani Oruvan fame talks about his experience singing Kannala Kannala |url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/kaushik-krish-of-thani-oruvan-fame-talks-about-his-experience-singing-kannala-kannala.html |access-date=2026-02-07 |website=Behindwoods |archive-date=2025-08-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250827185817/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/kaushik-krish-of-thani-oruvan-fame-talks-about-his-experience-singing-kannala-kannala.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Before his breakthrough in films, he performed at college cultural events and smaller stages, gradually moving towards playback singing as opportunities arose through this network.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=The Kannala Kannala Voice Speaks… |url=http://www.guindytimes.com/articles/the-kannala-kannala-voice-speaks |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171130145219/http://www.guindytimes.com/articles/the-kannala-kannala-voice-speaks |archive-date=2017-11-30 |access-date=2026-02-08 |website=www.guindytimes.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Playback singing ==&lt;br /&gt;
Kaushik Krish’s breakthrough as a playback singer came with the blockbuster thriller [[Thani Oruvan]] (2015), where he sang the romantic ballad &amp;quot;Kannala Kannala (The Melting Point of Love)&amp;quot; alongside [[Padmalatha]] for [[Ravi Mohan|Jayam Ravi]] and [[Nayanthara]]’s lead pair&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;. Composed and written by [[Hiphop Tamizha]], the song gave the film one of its most recognisable melodies, and Kaushik’s voice quickly became associated with its emotional appeal among [[Tamil cinema]] audiences. The track features prominently in his catalogues on [[Spotify]] and [[Apple Music]] and is often cited in interviews and campus features as the song that first made his name familiar to fans of contemporary Tamil film music. He reinforced this image as a romantic‑song specialist with &amp;quot;Kadhalikathey&amp;quot; from [[Imaikkaa Nodigal]] (2018), another [[Hiphop Tamizha]] composition picturised on [[Nayanthara]] and [[Atharvaa]] that showcased his ability to handle youthful, melody‑driven material&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Upadhyaya |first=Prakash |title=Nayanthara&#039;s Imaikkaa Nodigal audio, trailer launched [songs] |url=https://www.ibtimes.co.in/nayantharas-imaikkaa-nodigal-audio-trailer-launched-songs-773193 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812210104/https://www.ibtimes.co.in/nayantharas-imaikkaa-nodigal-audio-trailer-launched-songs-773193 |archive-date=2022-08-12 |access-date=2026-02-08 |work=IBTimes India |language=en |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Building on the success of &#039;&#039;Thani Oruvan&#039;&#039;, he went on to sing &amp;quot;Enna Nadanthalum&amp;quot; for Hiphop Tamizha’s semi‑autobiographical film &#039;&#039;[[Meesaya Murukku]]&#039;&#039; (2017), where the promo and video versions credit him alongside Adhi as vocalist. As the film became popular with younger audiences for its campus setting and music, &amp;quot;Enna Nadanthalum&amp;quot; gave Kaushik another widely heard track and strengthened his position as one of the recurring voices in [[Hiphop Tamizha]]’s soundtracks. He further consolidated this image with the youthful love song &amp;quot;Hi Sonna Pothum&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Features |first=C.

His vocals subsequently featured on ensemble and supporting songs across other Tamil albums, including numbers such as &amp;quot;Vanga Machan Vanga&amp;quot; from [[Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven]] &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2019-02-02 |title=Music review: Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/music/music-review-vantha-rajavathaan-varuven/articleshow/67793566.cms |access-date=2026-02-08 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Naan Siricha&amp;quot; from [[Naan Sirithal]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2020-02-15 |title=Music Review: Naan Sirithal |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/music/music-review-naan-sirithal/articleshow/74134981.cms |access-date=2026-02-08 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, and tracks on [[Aranmanai 4]] and [[PT Sir]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Features |first=C.

&lt;br /&gt;
Kaushik also extended his playback work into [[Telugu cinema]] with the song &amp;quot;Manishi Musugulo Mrugham Neney Ra&amp;quot; from [[Dhruva (2016 film)|Dhruva]], the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] remake of [[Thani Oruvan]] starring [[Ram Charan]] and [[Rakul Preet Singh]]. Set to Hiphop Tamizha’s music, the song carried his voice to a wider [[South India|South Indian]] audience and appears as a single under his name on major digital platforms, marking his entry into another language industry. Across [[Spotify]], [[Apple Music]] and other streaming services, his discography now spans [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film songs, soundtrack EP tracks such as those from Odavum Mudiyadhu Oliyavum Mudiyadhu and Rocket Driver, and independent or non‑film releases like &amp;quot;Weekend&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Nee Illama&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;En Vaazhve&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Iru Disaigalil&amp;quot;, reflecting a profile that combines playback work for notable films with a growing body of standalone songs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Music direction ==&lt;br /&gt;
Kaushik Krish has also established himself as a music director through his work on the Tamil film [[Odavum Mudiyadhu Oliyavum Mudiyadhu]]. For this film he created the complete soundtrack, including the title track and songs such as &amp;quot;Magave&amp;quot; sung by [[Shakthisree Gopalan|Shathisree Gopalan]], shaping the musical tone of the horror‑comedy. The soundtrack was released as [[Odavum Mudiyadhu Oliyavum Mudiyadhu]] (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), presenting him as the composer on major music platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In this film, [[Ron Ethan Yohann]] composed the songs, while Kaushik provided the original background score, shaping the tense and atmospheric soundscape that supports the coming‑of‑age hostel setting and the suspense elements around [[Arulnithi]]’s lead character. The film features [[Arulnithi]], [[Avantika Mishra|Avantika]], [[Karu Palaniappan]] and [[Charandeep]] among its key cast, and reviews have singled out the cinematography and background music as strengths of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On these songs he not only writes and arranges the music but also appears as a singer alongside artists like Susha, Gana Gokul and [[Jassie Gift]], giving the film a distinctive musical identity that blends playful fantasy elements with emotional, character‑driven themes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside his playback‑singing career, he continues to work in film music as a composer and background‑score specialist on later projects, developing a parallel path as a behind‑the‑scenes creator as well as a vocalist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Musical style and independent releases ==&lt;br /&gt;
Kaushik Krish’s musical style sits firmly within contemporary Tamil film music, with a strong emphasis on melodic, mid‑tempo songs that suit romantic and emotional storytelling. Performances such as &amp;quot;Kannala Kannala&amp;quot; from [[Thani Oruvan]] and &amp;quot;Enna Nadanthalum&amp;quot; from [[Meesaya Murukku]] showcase his smooth, expressive vocal delivery against polished modern arrangements, aligning him with the mainstream sound of current [[Cinema of South India|South Indian cinema]]. Alongside his film work, he also appears on non‑film and spin‑off releases, including singles like &amp;quot;Weekend&amp;quot;, the song &amp;quot;Nee Illama&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;En Vaazhve&amp;quot; from Muthal Pakkam and &amp;quot;Iru Disaigalil&amp;quot; from [[Rocket Driver]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Features |first=C.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Live performances and public presence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond studio recordings, Kaushik Krish regularly performs his songs live at college festivals, cultural programmes and large‑scale music shows. He also maintains an active presence on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, using these platforms to share performance clips, announce concerts and interact with listeners who follow his work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In recent years he has been part of [[Hiphop Tamizha]]’s large‑format live shows, including the Return of the Dragon Machi world‑tour concerts. These productions take the duo’s film hits and independent tracks to arenas and open‑air venues across India and abroad, and Kaushik appears in the touring lineup as one of the key voices associated with songs like &amp;quot;Kadhalikathey&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Kannala Kannala&amp;quot;. Through these shows he has performed to audiences in cities ranging from [[Bengaluru]] and [[Coimbatore]] to international stops such as [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[London]], [[Paris]] and [[Toronto]], further cementing his profile as a live performer alongside his recording career.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Radha Gobinda Kar&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Bengali language|Bengali]]: রাধাগোবিন্দ কর; 23 August 1852 – 19 December 1918) was an Indian [[physician]] and philanthropist. [[R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital]] in [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]] is named after him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Family==&lt;br /&gt;
Radha Gobinda was born on 23 August 1852 at [[Santragachhi]], [[West Bengal]]. His father, [[Durgadas Kar]], was a physician.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Chikitsabijnaner Itihas&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Chikitsabijnaner Itihas - Unish Satake Banglay Paschatya Sikshar Prabhab by Binay Bhushan Roy, 1st Edition&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education==&lt;br /&gt;
After passing the entrance examination from [[Hindu School]], Radha Gobinda enrolled in [[Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata|Calcutta Medical College]] to study medicine for the next 5 years within which he took a year-long sabbatical in 1979. He received his medical degree from the [[University of Edinburgh]] in 1883.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Chikitsabijnaner Itihas&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Masik Basumati&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Masik Basumati, 1335 Bengali year, Chaitra, 7 (2), pp. 973–983.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early Practice ==&lt;br /&gt;
After finishing his studies, he returned to Calcutta to start his practice. Initially, he would see poor patients for free. His practice became established and people started coming from villages and far-flung areas to get treated by him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kar observed his classmates faltering due to a language problem and this inspired him to translate and write medical books in the Bengali language. His first book was &#039;Bhishabandhu&#039;. Published in 1871. He wrote several books and notable among them are &#039;Concise Physiology&#039;, &#039;Rogi Paricharchyya&#039;, &#039;Vishaka Suhrid&#039;, &#039;Plague&#039;, &#039;Illustration and Brief Theory of Gynecology&#039;, &#039;Brief Infant and Child Medicine&#039;, &#039;Brief Physiology&#039;, and &#039;Kaviraj Doctor News&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Radha Govinda Kar: The Renaissance Man of Betore |url=https://www.getbengal.com/details/radha-govinda-kar-renaissance-man-of-betore |access-date=22 August 2024 |archive-date=22 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240822052434/https://www.getbengal.com/details/radha-govinda-kar-renaissance-man-of-betore |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His friends, patients and fraternity requested him to start a college where he could share his knowledge and treat patients. Moreover, the fight for freedom was intensifying: it added to the reasons to start a medical school in Calcutta, with Bengal clearly distancing itself from the Central British Raj and looking to set its own independent identity, it gave him the conviction to build a school with a modern outlook.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Account of Dr. Subodh Sanyal, GP from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, shared by relative Piyu Dutta&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Calcutta Medical School==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vision to build a medical school with modern scientific knowledge was compelling and became his life goal. But, there came the problem. He was a man of limited means. No family wealth could support an audacious goal like this. He needed to buy a piece of land, construct and start a hospital. He requested his friends to loan him money. That was not proving to be enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He would stand outside the weddings taking place in Calcutta, where he could meet a number of well-to-do people. He would pitch his vision to the guests and request them to invest/give him some money. This is how he collected some seed funding. Seeing his determination, some of his doctor friends joined him in the mission.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to provide a facility not associated with the [[British Raj]], Kar, Dr. Mahendranath Banerjee, Dr. Akshoy Kumar Dutta, Dr Bipin Behari Moitra, Dr. M.L. De, Dr. B. G. Banerjee, Dr. Kunda Bhattacharya and numerous other doctors founded the Calcutta School of Medicine on 18 October 1886.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;History&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It was the first private medical college in Asia, established to ensure self-sufficiency in medical education and services.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |title=Radha Gobinda Kar, just that name |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/life/radha-gobinda-kar-just-that-name-moving-backwards-to-19th-century-feels-like-progress-for-rg-kar-hospital/cid/2041729}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The school changed its name to the Calcutta Medical School in August 1887, and it became The Calcutta Medical School and College of Physicians and Surgeons of Bengal after amalgamating with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Bengal in 1904.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;History&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; [[Dr B C Roy Institute of Medical Sciences &amp;amp; Research|Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy]], who later became the Chief Minister of [[West Bengal]], was a Professor there.&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Second Battle of Eran&#039;&#039;&#039;,{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=33}}{{efn|In Gupta Year 191 (ad 510) Goparāja and Rāja Bhānugupta fight together in the second battle of Eran (against Toramāna?), in which Goparāja is killed (SB X.035).{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=33}}}} which took place around 510 CE, was a pivotal battle between the [[Gupta Empire]]&#039;s Emperor [[Bhanugupta]] and the [[Alchon Huns|Huna]] army of [[Toramana]]. The battle, which finds mention in the [[Eran]] inscription, was fought at the cost of the death of Bhanugupta&#039;s general, [[Goparaja]]. It was a key battle in halting the Huna invasion of eastern [[Malwa]] or attempting to expel them from the region. The battle was the first of a series of reverses for the Huna conqueror. In his battle against the invaders, Bhanugupta might have had the support of King [[Prakāśadharman (Aulikara)|Prakāśadharman]], the king of [[Mandasor]].&lt;br /&gt;

The fertile plains around [[Eran]], also referred to as Airikana or the &amp;quot;Refreshing Fields,&amp;quot; at the junction of the [[Betwa]] and [[Bina River (India)|Bina]] rivers, became a battleground between the great powers. This historically significant locality had a religious complex dedicated to [[Vishnu]], the patron deity of the [[Gupta Empire]], built during the time of Emperor [[Budhagupta]]. Two local feudatories, Maharaja [[Mātṛviṣṇu]] and his younger brother [[Dhanyaviṣṇu]], raised a twin temple, under the shadow of the 13-meter-tall &#039;[[Column of Janardana]]&#039; (Vishnu/Krishna), marking the area&#039;s religious and cultural significance.{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=73–75}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Budhagupta gold coin , 477-487 CE , India.jpg|thumb|center|upright=1.4|{{center|Gold coin of Budhagupta]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[First Battle of Eran]] was a turning point battle between the Gupta Empire and the [[Alchon Huns|Hunas]], led by [[Toramana]]. Eran inscriptional evidence reveals that by the first year of Toramana&#039;s reign, Dhanyaviṣṇu, a renowned local official, defected from the Guptas to the Hunas. This defection, carved in a temple inscription, marks the rise in the power of the Hunas and their ability to influence regional political forces.{{sfn|Goyal|1967|p=341–342}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Battle==&lt;br /&gt;
Goparaja&#039;s posthumous inscription at Eran, dated 510 CE, is of particular significance here. It refers to King Bhanugupta as &amp;quot;the bravest man on the earth&amp;quot; and reports a great battle at Eran, in which his general [[Goparaja]] was killed. The battle would have been against the Huna invaders, either to check their advance into eastern [[Malwa]] or to expel them from the region entirely. If the aim had been to check their advance, it is safe to put Toramana&#039;s conquest of eastern Malwa around 510 CE; otherwise, if the aim had been expulsion, the battle would have occurred earlier. Although the occupation of the region by the Huna cannot be pinpointed as accurately as we would like, it can be inferred that Toramana&#039;s penetration into India proper occurred some years after 500 CE, and the Hunas were initially confined to [[Gandhara]]. By 510 CE, Toramana&#039;s hold over Malwa may be assumed to be firmly in place.{{sfn|Goyal|1967|p=337–342}}&lt;br /&gt;

And along with him [[Goparaja]], following (him) without fear, &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;having overtaken the [[Maitraka|Maittras]] and having fought a very big and famous battle&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;, went to heaven, becoming equal to [[Indra]], the best of the gods; and (his) devoted, attached, beloved, and beauteous wife, clinging (to him), entered into the mass of fire (funeral pyre). (Bhanugupta [[Eran|Eran inscription]] 510 CE.)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CII&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum Vol.3 (inscriptions Of The Early Gupta Kings [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.108395 Main text p.352sq]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Hans T. Bakker]], the inscription does not contain an explicit statement regarding the success or failure of the battle. From the events that follow, it may be inferred that the inscription marks the beginning of a chain of woes for the Huna conqueror. In his struggle against the invader, Bhanugupta might have had the backing of the person of King Prakāśadharman, the king of [[Mandasor]].{{sfn|Bakker|2015|p=33}}&lt;br /&gt;

The connection in question is most likely due to the sister of Bhanugupta (or another close relation), who was wedded to Ravikīrti, the [[Amatya|amātya]] of Rājyavardhana, father of Prakāśadharman. Bhagavaddosa, Ravikīrti&#039;s son and Bhānugupta&#039;s nephew (or another relation), was prime minister to Prakāśadharman and may have participated in military campaigns under his maternal uncle. It is presumed that this new line of Mandasor kings, referred to as the &#039;[[Second Aulikara dynasty|Later Aulikaras]]&#039;, was to challenge their erstwhile Gupta overlords.{{sfn|Bakker|2015|p=33}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aftermath ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Indian resistance ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Rīsthal inscription}}&lt;br /&gt;
Resistance to foreign threats and instability grew in the second half of the 6th century, focusing on a group of [[Aulikaras]] who asserted independence in the area. The [[Rīsthal inscription|Rīsthal Inscription]] of Mālava Year 572 (515 CE) documents the successful reestablishment of order in [[Daśapura]] by King Prakāśadharman with the help of the powerful Naigama merchant family. Principal members of this family were rājasthānīyas ([[viceroy]]s) to the later Aulikaras and helped stabilize the region.{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=86}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Risthal inscription rubbing.jpg|300px|thumb|{{center|Rīsthal inscription]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
This period of resilience is not only verified by inscriptions but also by the architectural monuments built by the new rulers of Daśapura. This religious change emphasized the revival, as the sixth-century Aulikara rulers dropped [[Vaisnavism]], the original state religion, in favor of a vigorous and militant form of [[Shaivism]]. This form of Shaivism, which was linked with the [[Pasupata|Pāśupata]] movement, was from the region between the [[Narmada River|Narmadā]] and [[Mahi River|Mahī]] and became established in [[Gujarat]] and [[Rajasthan]], backed by an interconnected system of [[temple]]s and [[Matha]]s.{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=87}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rise of Shaivism ===&lt;br /&gt;
The following example illustrates the development of Shaivism as a leading cultural force in this era. Though already an established popular faith, Shaivism was revitalized by the Pāśupata school, which was embraced by the political aristocracy to consolidate their ideological system of domination. Vaishnavism, the former state religion, on the other hand, lost its place in this culture. Shaivism introduced new characteristics, such as the appearance of [[Śiva]] in the form of the Brahmin named [[Lakulisha|Lakulīśa]], which provided ordinary people access to superhuman powers ([[siddhi]]) and divine weapons through instructions learned from human gurus (achāryas) who were said to be the very personification of the Lord himself in ritual practice.{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=90}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Shiva with Trisula Panjikent 7th–8th century CE Hermitage Museum.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|{{center|Shiva with [[Trisula]], worshipped in [[Central Asia]]. [[Penjikent]], [[Uzbekistan]], 7th–8th century CE. [[Hermitage Museum]].]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
This change benefited the Aulikara rulers, as attested by their great architectural achievements. First among these are the colossal Śiva Śūlapāṇi [[stele]] in Daśapura, perhaps commissioned by Bhagavaddosa under the patronage of King Prakāśadharman in the Prakāśeśvara Temple, which, according to the Rīsthal Inscription, was &amp;quot;the ornament of [[Bharata varsa|Bhāratavarṣa]] (India).&amp;quot; About 3 meters in height, this stele rivaled its [[Vaiṣṇava]] counterpart, the [[Varāha]] statue of Eran, erected by Dhanyaviṣṇu during the conquest of Toramāṇa and similarly renowned as &amp;quot;the pillar of the universe.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=90}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Aulikara-Hunnic conflicts ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Aulikara−Hunnic War}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Blockquote|text=Prakāśadharman, By whom the title &#039;Overlord&#039; (adhirāja) of the Hūna commander (adhipa) was nullified in battle, (though it) had been firmly established on earth by the time of King [[Toramāna]], whose footstool had glittered with the sparkling jewels in the&lt;br /&gt;
crowns of kings (that had bowed at his feet).|source=[[Rīsthal inscription]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The actions that occurred in 515 CE, as borne witness to by the Rīsthal Inscription, are regarded as a significant turn of events in [[Indian history]]. The inscription boasts of Prakāśadharman on account of canceling the title of &amp;quot;Overlord&amp;quot; (adhirāja) bestowed upon the Hūṇa general, a title that had been well established during the reign of Toramāṇa, a king whose authority had previously made other kings prostrate before him.{{sfn|Bakker|2020|p=90}}&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Common Admission Test&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;CAT&#039;&#039;&#039;)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title = CAT 2015|url = https://iimcat.ac.in/|website = iimcat.ac.in|access-date = 2015-12-09|archive-date = 28 July 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140728193234/http://www.iimcat.ac.in/|url-status = live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is a [[computer based test]] for admission in graduate management programs. The test consists of three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability. The exam was taken online over a period of three hours, with one hour per section. In 2020, due to the [[COVID-19]] precautions, [[Indian Institute of Management Indore]] decided to conduct the CAT Exam in 2 hours with 40 minutes devoted to each section.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=CAT 2020 Media Release |url=https://cdn.digialm.com//per/g01/pub/756/ASM/WebPortal/17/PDF/CAT_2020_MediaRelease.pdf |access-date=8 January 2021 |archive-date=28 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928164156/https://cdn.digialm.com/per/g01/pub/756/ASM/WebPortal/17/PDF/CAT_2020_MediaRelease.pdf |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Indian Institutes of Management]] started this exam and use the test for selecting students for their business administration programs ([[MBA]] or PGDM). The test is conducted every year by one of the Indian Institutes of Managements(IIMs) based on a policy of rotation.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In August 2011, it was announced that [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] (IITs) and [[Indian Institute of Science]] (IISc) would also use the CAT scores, instead of the [[Joint Management Entrance Test]] (JMET), to select students for their management programmes starting with the 2012-15 batch.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=CAT replaces JMET in IIT, IISc |url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/nation/south/cat-replaces-jmet-iit-iisc-532 |access-date=10 February 2012 |newspaper=Deccan Chronicle |date=27 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827134858/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/nation/south/cat-replaces-jmet-iit-iisc-532 |archive-date=27 August 2011 |df=dmy }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before 2010, CAT was a paper based test conducted on a single day for all candidates. The pattern, number of questions and duration have seen considerable variations over the years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 May 2009, it was announced that CAT would be a [[Computer Based Test]] starting from 2009.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Eligibility for CAT ==&lt;br /&gt;
The candidate must satisfy the below specified criteria:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.digialm.com//EForms/configuredHtml/756/52967//CAT_2018_ELIGIBILITY.html|title=CAT Eligibility - IIM Ahmedabad|access-date=1 October 2018|archive-date=13 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613022408/https://www.digialm.com/EForms/configuredHtml/756/52967/CAT_2018_ELIGIBILITY.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Hold a [[bachelor&#039;s degree]], with not less than 50% or equal CGPA (45% for [[Scheduled Castes|Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST)]] and Persons with Disability (PWD)/Differently Able (DA) classification)&lt;br /&gt;
# The degree should be granted by any of the universities consolidated by an act of the central or state statutory body in India or other instructive organizations built up by an act of Parliament or pronounced to be considered as a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.&lt;br /&gt;
# Competitors appearing for the final year of bachelor&#039;s degree/equivalent qualification examination and the individuals who have finished degree prerequisites and are anticipating results can likewise apply. If selected, such applicants will be permitted to join the program temporarily, only if they present a certificate most recent by June of next year in which the exam is held, from the principal/registrar of their college/institute (issued at the latest 30 June of that year) expressing that the competitor has finished every one of the prerequisites for acquiring four-year or three-year college education/identical capability on the date of the issue of the certificate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Exam pattern ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Common Admission Test (CAT) uses different versions of the exam each year, so it reports two types of scores: a [[raw score]] and a scaled score.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The raw score is calculated for each section based on the number of questions one answered correctly, incorrectly, or left attempted. Candidates are given &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039;3 points for each correct answer and -1 point for each incorrect answer, no negative marking for TITA (Type in the Answer) questions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=MBA Entrance Exams in India - Check Exam Dates, Fees &amp;amp; Pattern |url=https://www.learningroutes.in/blog/mba-entrance-exams-india}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since different versions of the test may vary slightly in difficulty, the raw scores are adjusted using a method called &#039;&#039;&#039;equating&#039;&#039;&#039;. After that, the scores are &#039;&#039;&#039;scaled&#039;&#039;&#039; to ensure fairness, so that scores from different exam slots can be compared accurately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;number of questions&#039;&#039;&#039; in CAT can change from year to year. Recently, the paper has had &#039;&#039;&#039;68 questions&#039;&#039;&#039; divided into three sections:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=CAT Exam Pattern 2026 - Sections, Types of Questions, &amp;amp; Marks |url=https://www.imsindia.com/blog/cat/cat-exam-pattern/ |access-date=2025-11-18 |website=IMS India |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The CAT 2024 exam will be conducted in three sessions, each of 40 minutes, for a total exam duration of 120 minutes (2 hours). The CAT exam pattern includes both [[Multiple Choice Question]] and non-MCQ or TITA (Type-In-The-Answer) questions. The test comprises the following three sections:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Shrivastava |first=Vipra |date=4 Nov 2025 |title=CAT 2025 Exam Pattern |url=https://www.shiksha.com/mba/cat-exam-pattern |url-status=live |website=www.shiksha.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Verbal Ability &amp;amp; Reading Comprehension (VARC)&lt;br /&gt;
#* 24 questions in total: 8 Verbal Ability questions and 4 [[Reading comprehension|Reading Comprehension]] passages, each containing 4 questions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Candidates can not switch between sections while answering; the order of sections is fixed as: VARC → DILR → QA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003, CAT got leaked leading to re examination &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Main News |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031124/main2.htm |access-date=2025-12-14 |website=www.tribuneindia.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In CAT 2024, a question of slot 2 in VARC was challenged by students and educators but [[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta|IIM C]] did not accept any changes. One candidate took the matter to the court still the challenge was not accepted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2025-01-07 |title=CAT 2024: Delhi High Court dismisses plea challenging CAT 2024 results, says ‘we find no reason to interfere’ |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/education/competitive-exams/cat-2024-delhi-high-court-dismisses-plea-challenging-cat-2024-results-says-we-find-no-reason-to-interfere-101736240868726.html |access-date=2025-12-14 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In CAT 2025, [[Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode|IIM K]] released provisional answer keys without releasing provisional answers for QA (TITA) questions.{{fact|date=January 2026}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Devotees offering prayers at a sanctum in Chennakesava temple at Belur.jpg|thumb|A &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; literally means a &#039;sight&#039; or &#039;view&#039;. In a [[Hindu temple]], the term refers to viewing the &#039;&#039;[[garbhagriha]]&#039;&#039; &#039;inner sanctum&#039; of the temple, which hosts the [[murti]] &#039;image of a god&#039;. Devotees taking &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; of the god [[Vishnu]] in the inner sanctum of the [[Chennakeshava Temple, Belur]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Indian religions]], a &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;darshan&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Langx|sa|दर्शन}}, {{IAST3|darśana}}; {{lit.}} &#039;showing, appearance,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AESD&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; view, sight&#039;) or &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;darshanam&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is the auspicious sight of a deity or a holy person.{{sfn|Flood|2011|p=194}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term also refers to any one of the six traditional schools of [[Hindu philosophy]] and their literature on spirituality and [[soteriology]].{{sfn|Klostermaier|2008|p=26}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The word &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039;, also in the forms of &#039;&#039;darśana&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;darshanam&#039;&#039;, comes from the [[Sanskrit]] root of {{Lang|sa|दर्शन}} {{Lang|sa-Latn|dṛś}} &#039;to look at&#039;, &#039;to view&#039;, [[vision (spirituality)|vision]], apparition or glimpse.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AESD&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia |title=दर्श &#039;&#039;darśá&#039;&#039; |pages=470–1 |year=1981 |dictionary=A Sanskrit-English Dictionary |first=Monier |last=Monier-Williams |author-link=Monier Monier-Williams |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass |place=Delhi, Varanasi, Patna |url=https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/csl-apidev/servepdf.php?dict=MW&amp;amp;page=470 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Definition==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Darshana&#039;&#039; is described as an &amp;quot;auspicious sight&amp;quot; of a holy person, which bestows merit on the viewer.{{sfn|Flood|2011|p=194}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is most commonly used for [[theophany]], meaning a manifestation or vision of the divine.&amp;lt;ref name=britdarshan&amp;gt;{{cite encyclopedia | url= http://www.britannica.com/topic/darshan | title= Darshan - Hinduism | encyclopedia= [[Encyclopædia Britannica]] | year= 2015 | via= britannica.com | access-date= 12 February 2013 | archive-date= 26 August 2015 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150826000944/http://www.britannica.com/topic/darshan | url-status= live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In Hinduism==&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Hindu worship]], it refers to seeing a deity (especially in image form), or a very holy person or artifact. One can receive &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; or a glimpse of the deity in the temple, or from a great saintly person, such as a great [[guru]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;britdarshan&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; One can also take &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; of a sacred places like [[Varanasi|Kashi]], [[Yamuna]] or [[Mount Kailash]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Ray |first1=Himanshu Prabha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H5eSEAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=darshana+god&amp;amp;pg=PT305 |title=The Routledge Handbook of Hindu Temples: Materiality, Social History and Practice |last2=Kulshreshtha |first2=Salila |last3=Suvrathan |first3=Uthara |date=2022-10-13 |publisher=Taylor &amp;amp; Francis |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Hindu practice, adherents often refer to their temple visits as going for &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; rather than simply worship. Darshana, often translated as the &amp;quot;auspicious sight&amp;quot; of the divine, involves seeing the deity&#039;s image (&#039;&#039;[[murti]]&#039;&#039;). This visual experience is charged with religious significance, as the deity is believed to be present in the image, allowing worshippers to receive divine blessings through their gaze.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Eck |first=Diana L. |title=Darśan: seeing the divine image in India |date=1998 |publisher=Columbia Univ. Press |isbn=978-0-231-11265-9 |edition=3rd |series=Translations from the Asian classics |location=New York, NY |pages=3}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; also refers to the six systems of thought, called &#039;&#039;darshanam&#039;&#039;, that comprise classical [[Hindu philosophy]].{{sfn|Nicholson|2013|pp=2–5}}{{sfn|Perrett|2000|pp=88, 284}} The term therein implies how each of these six systems distinctively look at things and the scriptures in Indian philosophies.{{sfn|Perrett|2000|pp=88, 284}}&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;britdarshan&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The six Hindu &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; are [[Nyaya]], [[Vaisheshika]], [[Samkhya]], [[Yoga]], [[Mīmāṃsā]], and [[Vedanta]]. Buddhism and Jainism are examples of non-Hindu darshans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;britdarshan&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the significance of &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; in [[Mahayana]] thought, Paul Harrison writes: &amp;quot;By the second century CE... the vision of the [[Buddha]] (&#039;&#039;buddha-darśana&#039;&#039;) and the accompanying hearing of the [[Dharma (Buddhism)|Dharma]] (&#039;&#039;dharma-śravaṇa&#039;&#039;) are represented as a transformation experience of decisive importance for practitioners, be they who have renounced (mundane life) &#039;ascetics&#039; or householders.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Harrison|1992||p=223}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Abhidharma]], collections of systematic summaries of the [[sutra]]s, mention &#039;&#039;Darshana-[[citta]], i.e.&#039;&#039; [[vision (spirituality)|visions]].{{sfn|Gyatso|1992|p=288}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indian Mahayana philosophers [[Vasubandhu]] and [[Asanga]] acknowledged [[Bhūmi (Buddhism)#Five paths and ten stages|five paths to liberation]], of which the third is &#039;&#039;darshana-marga&#039;&#039;, the &amp;quot;path of seeing&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Gethin|1998|p=194}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nagarjuna]], a prominent philosopher of the [[Madhyamaka]] school of Mahayana Buddhism, wrote that the wise person perceives &#039;&#039;[[tattva]]-darshana,&#039;&#039; true reality.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |title=[[Mūlamadhyamakakārikā]] |trans-title=Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way |chapter=Chapter 26 |at=verse 10 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{sfn|Unno|1993|p=347}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other meanings==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Darshana&#039;&#039; also sometimes has a more mundane meaning. For example, [[Sivananda Saraswati]] wrote in his book &#039;&#039;The Practice of Brahmacharya&#039;&#039; that one of the eight aspects of [[brahmacharya]] ([[Celibacy#Hinduism|celibacy]]) is not to look lustfully at women: &amp;quot;You should carefully avoid ... Darshana or looking at women with passionate resolve&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Sivananda|1988|p=24}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scholar of religion Richard H. Davis has said that &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039; (viewpoint, philosophical school) is one of three terms in classical Indian discourse that could be considered roughly analogous to what today&#039;s English-speakers understand as &amp;quot;religion.&amp;quot; The other two terms are &#039;&#039;[[dharma]]&#039;&#039; (duty, morality, a code of proper conduct) and &#039;&#039;[[Buddhist Paths to liberation|marga]]&#039;&#039; (route, spiritual path). According to Davis, &amp;quot;most Hindu texts accepted that religious paths (&#039;&#039;marga&#039;&#039;) are relative to the points of view (&#039;&#039;darśana&#039;&#039;) and moral responsibilities (&#039;&#039;dharma&#039;&#039;) of practitioners, whose individual circumstances may make one or another course of action more appropriate in their particular situations.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Davis|2008|pp=363–364}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poet [[Gary Snyder]] has given a [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalistic]] meaning to &#039;&#039;darshana&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
{{blockquote|It&#039;s a gift; it&#039;s like there&#039;s a moment in which the thing is ready to let you see it. In India, this is called &#039;&#039;darshan&#039;&#039;. Darshan means getting a view, and if the clouds blow away, as they did once for me, and you get a view of the Himalayas from the foothills, an Indian person would say, &amp;quot;Ah, the Himalayas are giving you their darshana&amp;quot;; they&#039;re letting you have their view. This comfortable, really deep way of getting a sense of something takes time. It doesn&#039;t show itself to you right away. It isn&#039;t even necessary to know the names of things the way a botanist would. It&#039;s more important to be aware of the &amp;quot;[[suchness]]&amp;quot; of the thing; it&#039;s a reality. It&#039;s also a source of a certain kind of inspiration for creativity. I see it in the work of [[Georgia O&#039;Keeffe]]...{{sfn|White|1994|p=148}} }}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jeevuba&#039;&#039;&#039;, otherwise known as Motiba, Poonamatiba (name given since she was born on Poonam), and Jaya, was born in 1785 ([[Samvat (calendars)]] year 1841). Her father&#039;s name was Abhel Khachar and she had many siblings including a younger sister named Lalita. She was a very staunch devotee of [[Swaminarayan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
As legend goes, Jeevuba offered food to the idol of Swaminarayan and he accepted the food. Abhel Khachar wondered who this &amp;quot;Swaminarayan&amp;quot; was and sought after to see if he was actually a God. He threatened Jeevuba, who was praying to this &#039;God&#039;, and said that Swaminarayan must come and accept the food given or else he would kill her with his sword. Jeevuba peacefully served Swaminarayan and a miracle occurred. Swaminarayan actually came and accepted her food. Abhel Khacher was left speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Another time, Abhel Khachar wanted to get his daughter, Jeevuba, married. Jeevuba didn&#039;t want to get married and wanted to live life as a worshiper of Swaminarayan. Abhel forced her to marry and thus she married Hathia Patgar. Though, Jeevuba told Hathia that she wanted to only worship Swaminarayan and therefore, with his consent, left him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Life in Renunciation ==&lt;br /&gt;
Abhel Khachar hadn&#039;t noticed, but Jeevuba invited Swaminarayan, who was disguised as a [[buttermilk]] saleswoman, in their house for a month. When Abhel Khachar found out, he went to go beat up Swaminarayan. After seeing his glory, he refrained. He had found out that it was Swaminarayan that his daughter had been worshiping the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once Jeevuba saw the saint, Akhandanand Swami suffer from [[diarrhea]] sitting under a tree. Jeevuba, at once, came, seated him on the chariot that she used to get there, and took the saint to a safe place. Swaminarayan heard of this and was greatly pleased. In return for doing this favor, Swaminarayan gave Jeevuba his darshan (appearance) as [[Krishna]], [[Rama]], and other gods. &lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Jeevuba died in 1860 (Samvat year 1916 on the bright half of the month of Jeth). She had been a great person in the Swaminarayan Sanstha (organization).&lt;br /&gt;

The original lessons were recorded in Arabic by Yahya Kandhlawi, a student of Gangohi, and later expanded upon by his son, [[Zakariyya Kandhlawi]], with extensive footnotes at the insistence of [[Hussain Ahmad Madani]]. The commentary was completed in 1968. Its primary objective is to provide detailed explanations, discussions, and insights into the various sections, topics, and issues addressed in &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039;. Additionally, it incorporates additional research, references to other scholarly works, and offers a defense of the [[Hanafi school]] of [[Fiqh|Islamic jurisprudence]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:DUOB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Kaleem |first=Mohd |title=Contribution of Old boys of Darul uloom Deoband in Hadith Literature |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |year=2017 |location=India |language=ur |hdl=10603/364028 |type=PhD|pages=422–424|url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/364028 |access-date=24 October 2023 |archive-date=24 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024044219/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8443/jspui/handle/10603/364028 |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Zakariyya Kandhlawi explains that his mentor, [[Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri]], encouraged him to study his father&#039;s hadith collections. Yahya Kandhlawi, his father, was an early student of [[Darul Uloom Deoband]], and he recorded various lessons of Deoband teachers. Zakariyya Kandhlawi first studied &#039;&#039;Sunan al-Tirmidhi&#039;&#039;, then &#039;&#039;Sunan Abu Dawood&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039; related to his father&#039;s hadith collections, which were recorded from the teachings of [[Rashid Ahmad Gangohi]]. Gangohi&#039;s approach was to explain specific discussions, resulting in fewer discussions in each subsequent book. Zakariyya Kandhlawi received requests from companions and followers to publish this treasure for the benefit of the ummah. [[Hussain Ahmad Madani]] insisted on its publication, and Zakariyya Kandhlawi received intense instructions from other respected scholars as well. However, due to Husain Ahmed Madani&#039;s passing, Zakariyya Kandhlawi was unable to focus much on the book during his lifetime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Chaudhary |first=Muhammad Nawaz |title=Religious and academic services of Hazrat Maulana Zakaria |publisher=[[University of the Punjab]] |year=1992 |location=Pakistan |language=ur |url=http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/handle/123456789/8810 |type=PhD |access-date=13 June 2023 |archive-date=30 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220830142215/http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/handle/123456789/8810 |url-status=live |pages=189–191}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Maliq |first=Abdul |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/293977 |title=Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya Hayatuhu Wa A Maluhu |publisher=Department of Arabic, [[University of Madras]] |year=2001 |location=India |language=ar |hdl=10603/293977 |degree=PhD |access-date=13 June 2023 |archive-date=21 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621140458/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/293977 |url-status=live |pages=152}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Khatoon |first=Aaisha |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/364027 |title=Aazadi ke Baad Hindustan ki Khidmaat e Hadith |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |year=2017 |page= |location=India |language=urdu |type=PhD |hdl=10603/364027 |pages=125–126 |access-date=2023-10-24 |archive-date=2023-10-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024064943/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/364027 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Content ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Yusuf Banuri]] has written a scholarly introduction to &#039;&#039;Lami al-Darari ala Jami al-Bukhari&#039;&#039;, which has been separately published with 24 pages. In the introduction, Zakariyya Kandhlawi focuses on specific matters related to &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039; and does not delve into the [[Hadith studies]], as he has covered it in previous book introductions. The first chapter discusses the life and virtues of [[Muhammad al-Bukhari]], highlighting nine benefits. The seventh and eighth benefits touch on the methodology of Muhammad al-Bukhari and his critics, emphasizing the importance of comparing present scholars to their predecessors due to limitations in knowledge and memory. The second chapter extensively discusses Muhammad al-Bukhari, and the last benefit provides a brief introduction to the 110 chapters of &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039;. Following this 52-page introduction, the commentary of &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039; begins in the style of &#039;&#039;[[Al-Kawakib al-Durri sharh Jami al-Tirmidhi]]&#039;&#039;, emphasizing the alignment of Muhammad al-Bukhari&#039;s arrangements and the narrations of Hadith. &#039;&#039;Lami al-Darari ala Jami al-Bukhari&#039;&#039; not only contains detailed discussions on various sections, topics, and issues of &#039;&#039;Sahih al-Bukhari&#039;&#039; but also consolidates scattered information, benefits, and points from thousands of pages regarding narrators, principles, and reminiscences. It also includes research on Hadith chapters, speeches, ijtihad, and defense of the [[Hanafi school|Hanafis]].{{Sfn|Chaudhary|1992|p=191–192}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Methodology ==&lt;br /&gt;
It attributes jurisprudential schools to their sources and incorporates criticism and corrections from previous editions. [[Āyah|Quranic verses]] are included alongside Hadith for verification, and phrases within the Hadith are explained with reference to renowned Arabic linguists. Explanations are provided for words that may have different dialects from various Arab tribes. The text pays homage to the author&#039;s elders and teachers, mentioning their names and highlighting their contributions. It incorporates Arabic and Urdu poetry.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Ahmad |first=Riyaz |title=Maulana Mohd Zakaria ki Elm E hadees men Khidmaat |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |year=2009 |location=India |language=ur |hdl=10603/57134 |degree=PhD |url=https://core.ac.uk/display/144524601?source=1&amp;amp;algorithmId=15&amp;amp;similarToDoc=144523409&amp;amp;similarToDocKey=CORE&amp;amp;recSetID=cb65ce6f-dd11-4a75-a8eb-a95e4ded5f93&amp;amp;position=3&amp;amp;recommendation_type=same_repo&amp;amp;otherRecs=144527167,144526634,144524601,144527160,144521013 |access-date=13 June 2023 |archive-date=27 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627220558/https://core.ac.uk/display/144524601?source=1&amp;amp;algorithmId=15&amp;amp;similarToDoc=144523409&amp;amp;similarToDocKey=CORE&amp;amp;recSetID=cb65ce6f-dd11-4a75-a8eb-a95e4ded5f93&amp;amp;position=3&amp;amp;recommendation_type=same_repo&amp;amp;otherRecs=144527167,144526634,144524601,144527160,144521013 |url-status=live |pages=146–148}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite thesis |last=Kamal |first=Mohd Arif |url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/364940 |title=Ulema e Hind ki Bisween Sadi Nisf Awwal mein Khidmat e Hadith Tanquidi Mutala |publisher=Department of Sunni Theology, [[Aligarh Muslim University]] |year=2020 |location=India |language=ur |type=PhD |pages=130–132 |hdl=10603/364940 |access-date=26 October 2023 |archive-date=1 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231101061946/https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/364940 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to Muhammad Usman Shah, a PhD scholar at [[Gomal University]], the literary style and manner of this book are very clear and lucid.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Shah |first1=Muhammad Usman |last2=Ahmed |first2=Manzoor |date=2021 |title=Inorate,literary style, manner and procedure of the commentary of &amp;quot;Lame-ud-durari&amp;quot; (Sharh-e-Sahih Bukhari) |url=http://www.arjish.com/index.php/arjish/article/view/329 |journal=Al-Aijaz Research Journal of Islamic Studies &amp;amp; Humanities |language=ur |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=244 |doi=10.53575/Urdu19.v5.02(21).244-258 |s2cid=243773920 |issn=2707-1219 |doi-access=free |access-date=18 June 2023 |archive-date=18 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230618070956/http://www.arjish.com/index.php/arjish/article/view/329 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Muhammad Nawaz Chaudhary, a PhD scholar at the [[University of the Punjab]], considers this commentary a valuable tool for seekers of hadith knowledge, especially for students of knowledge and scholars in the field of Hadith studies.{{Sfn|Chaudhary|1992|p=192}} In his introduction, [[Yusuf Banuri]] praises Rashid Ahmad Gangohi, stating that he possessed a unique combination of knowledge from scholars and the spiritual insight of the Sufis. Despite his engagement in spiritual training and purification, Gangohi tirelessly taught Hadith and Sunnah for almost fifty years, providing explanations for intricate matters of Fiqh and Hadith that were not found in extensive works. He successfully defended the Hanafi school, interpreting and explaining conflicting Hadiths, surpassing the explanations of previous commentators like [[Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani]] and [[Badr al-Din al-Ayni]], particularly in the chapter headings of &#039;&#039;Bukhari&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:TLOUD&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last1=Kajee |first1=Imraan |url=https://spirituallight.co.za/node/141 |title=The legacy of the Ulama of Deoband |last2=Kajee |first2=Moosa |publisher=Spiritual Light |isbn=979-8861344210 |year=2018 |location=South Africa |pages=42–44 |language=en |access-date=7 March 2023 |archive-date=25 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200925151938/http://spirituallight.co.za/node/141 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Five Vows&#039;&#039;&#039; of [[Jainism]] include the &#039;&#039;mahāvratas&#039;&#039; (major vows) and &#039;&#039;aṇuvratas&#039;&#039; (minor vows). Jain ethical code prescribes two &#039;&#039;[[Dharma (Jainism)|dharmas]]&#039;&#039; or rules of conduct. One for those who wish to become [[Jain monasticism|ascetic]] and another for the &#039;&#039;[[Śrāvaka (Jainism)|śrāvaka]]&#039;&#039; (householders). Five fundamental vows are prescribed for both votaries. These vows are observed by &#039;&#039;śrāvakas&#039;&#039; (householders) partially and are termed as &#039;&#039;anuvratas&#039;&#039; (small vows). Ascetics observe these fives vows more strictly and therefore observe complete abstinence. These five vows are:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Ahimsa in Jainism|Ahiṃsā]]&#039;&#039; (Non-violence)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;[[Satya#Jainism|Satya]]&#039;&#039; (Truth)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ahiṃsā ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Ahimsa in Jainism}}&lt;br /&gt;
Ahimsa (non-injury) is formalised into Jain doctrine as the first and foremost vow. According to the Jain text, &#039;&#039;Tattvarthsutra&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;The severance of vitalities out of passion is injury.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Satya ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Satya}}&lt;br /&gt;
Satya is the vow to not lie, and to speak the truth.{{sfn|Vijay K.

&lt;br /&gt;
The underlying cause of falsehood is passion and therefore, it is said to cause &#039;&#039;hiṃsā&#039;&#039; (injury).{{sfn|Vijay K.

=== Achourya ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Achourya}}&lt;br /&gt;
Asteya as a great vow means not take anything which is not freely given and without permission.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cort24&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; It applies to anything even if unattended or unclaimed, whether it is of worth or worthless thing. This vow of non-stealing applies to action, speech and thought. Further a mendicant, states Shah, must neither encourage others to do so nor approve of such activities.&amp;lt;ref name=pkshahfive/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Jain text, &#039;&#039;[[Puruṣārthasiddhyupāya]]&#039;&#039;:{{quote|Driven by passions, taking anything that has not been given be termed as theft and since theft causes injury, it is &#039;&#039;hiṃsā&#039;&#039;|&#039;&#039;{{IAST|Puruṣārthasiddhyupāya}}&#039;&#039; (42){{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2012|p=68}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to &#039;&#039;[[Tattvarthasutra]]&#039;&#039;, five observances that strengthen this vow are:{{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2011|p=95}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Residence in a solitary place&lt;br /&gt;
*Residence in a deserted habitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Causing no hindrance to others,&lt;br /&gt;
*Acceptance of clean food, and&lt;br /&gt;
*Not quarreling with brother monks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Brahmacharya ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Brahmacharya}}&lt;br /&gt;
Brahmacharya as a great vow of Jain mendicants means celibacy and avoiding any form of sexual activity with body, words or mind. A monk or nun should not enjoy sensual pleasures, which includes all the five senses, nor ask others to do the same, nor approve of another monk or nun engaging in sexual or sensual activity.&amp;lt;ref name=pkshahfive&amp;gt;Pravin K Shah, [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~pluralsm/affiliates/jainism/jainedu/5greatvows.htm Five Great Vows (Maha-vratas) of Jainism] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231033127/http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~pluralsm/affiliates/jainism/jainedu/5greatvows.htm |date=31 December 2014 }}, Jainism Literature Center, Harvard University&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Kristi L.

=== Aparigraha ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Aparigraha}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to &#039;&#039;Tattvarthsutra&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;Infatuation is attachment to possessions&amp;quot;.{{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2011|p=100}} Jain texts mentions that &amp;quot;attachment to possessions (&#039;&#039;parigraha&#039;&#039;) is of two kinds: attachment to internal possessions (&#039;&#039;ābhyantara parigraha&#039;&#039;), and attachment to external possessions (&#039;&#039;bāhya parigraha&#039;&#039;).{{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2012|p=76}}&lt;br /&gt;
The fourteen internal possessions are:{{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2012|p=77}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Wrong belief&lt;br /&gt;
*The three sex-passions&lt;br /&gt;
**Male sex-passion&lt;br /&gt;
**Female sex-passion&lt;br /&gt;
**Neuter sex-passion&lt;br /&gt;
*Six defects&lt;br /&gt;
**Laughter&lt;br /&gt;
**Liking&lt;br /&gt;
**Disliking&lt;br /&gt;
**Sorrow&lt;br /&gt;
**Fear&lt;br /&gt;
**Disgust&lt;br /&gt;
*Four passions&lt;br /&gt;
**Anger&lt;br /&gt;
**Pride&lt;br /&gt;
**Deceitfulness&lt;br /&gt;
**Greed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
External possessions are divided into two subclasses, the non-living, and the living. According to Jain texts, both internal and external possessions are proved to be &#039;&#039;hiṃsā&#039;&#039; (injury).{{sfn|Vijay K. Jain|2012|p=77}}&lt;br /&gt;

=== 25 clauses from the &#039;&#039;Ācārāṅga Sūtra&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
In Book 2, Lecture 15 of the &#039;&#039;[[Ācārāṅga Sūtra]]&#039;&#039;, 5 clauses are given for each of the 5 vows, giving a total of 25 clauses. The following is [[Hermann Jacobi]]&#039;s 1884 English translation of the 25 clauses.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Jaina Sutras I&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#I renounce &#039;&#039;&#039;all killing of living beings&#039;&#039;&#039;, whether subtile or gross, whether movable or immovable. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Nor shall I myself kill living beings (nor cause others to do it, nor consent to it). &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;As long as I live, I confess and blame, repent and exempt myself of these sins, in the thrice threefold way,&amp;lt;ref group=note&amp;gt;i.e. acting, commanding, consenting, either in the past or the present or the future.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in mind, speech, and body.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha is &#039;&#039;&#039;careful in his walk&#039;&#039;&#039;, not careless.&amp;lt;ref group=note&amp;gt;This could also be translated: he who is careful in his walk is a Nirgrantha, not he who is careless.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin assigns as the reason, that a Nirgrantha, careless in his walk, might (with his feet) hurt or displace or injure or kill living beings. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Hence a Nirgrantha is careful in his walk, not careless in his walk.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;searches into his mind&#039;&#039;&#039; (i.e. thoughts and intentions). If his mind is sinful, blamable, intent on works, acting on impulses,&amp;lt;ref group=note&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Aṇhayakare&#039;&#039; explained by &#039;&#039;karmāsravakāri&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; produces cutting and splitting (or division and dissension), quarrels, faults, and pains, injures living beings, or kills creatures, he should not employ such a mind in action. But if, on the contrary, it is not sinful, etc., then he may put it in action.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;searches into his speech&#039;&#039;&#039;; if his speech is sinful, blamable, intent on works, acting on impulses, produces cutting and splitting (or division and dissension), quarrels, faults, and pains, injures living beings, or kills creatures, he should not utter that speech. But if, on the contrary, it is not sinful, etc., then he may utter it.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha is &#039;&#039;&#039;careful in laying down his utensils of begging&#039;&#039;&#039;, he is not careless in it. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: A Nirgrantha who is careless in laying down his utensils of begging, might hurt or displace or injure or kill all sorts of living beings. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Hence a Nirgrantha is careful in laying down his utensils of begging, he is not careless in it.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;eats and drinks after inspecting his food and drink&#039;&#039;&#039;; he does not eat and drink without inspecting his food and drink. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha would eat and drink without inspecting his food and drink, he might hurt and displace or injure or kill all sorts of living beings. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Hence a Nirgrantha eats and drinks after inspecting his food and drink, not without doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
#I renounce &#039;&#039;&#039;all vices of lying speech&#039;&#039;&#039; (arising) from anger or greed or fear or mirth. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I shall neither myself speak lies, nor cause others to speak lies, nor consent to the speaking of lies by others. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;I confess and blame, repent and exempt myself of these sins in the thrice threefold way, in mind, speech, and body.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha speaks &#039;&#039;&#039;after deliberation&#039;&#039;&#039;, not without deliberation. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: Without deliberation a Nirgrantha might utter a falsehood in his speech.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha comprehends (and renounces) anger, he is &#039;&#039;&#039;not angry&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: A Nirgrantha who is moved by anger, and is angry, might utter a falsehood in his speech.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha comprehends (and renounces) greed, he is &#039;&#039;&#039;not greedy&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: A Nirgrantha who is moved by greed, and is greedy, might utter a falsehood in his speech.&lt;br /&gt;

##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;begs after deliberation&#039;&#039;&#039;, for a limited ground, not without deliberation. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha begs without deliberation for a limited ground, he might take what is not given.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;consumes his food and drink with permission&#039;&#039;&#039; (of his superior), not without his permission. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha consumes his food and drink without the superior’s permission, he might eat what is not given.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha who has taken possession of some ground, &#039;&#039;&#039;should always take possession of a limited part of it and for a fixed time&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha who has taken possession of some ground, should take possession of an unlimited part of it and for an unfixed time, he might take what is not given.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha who has taken possession of some ground, &#039;&#039;&#039;should constantly have his grant renewed&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha has not constantly his grant renewed, he might take possession of what is not given.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;begs for a limited ground for his co-religionists after deliberation&#039;&#039;&#039;, not without deliberation. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha should beg without deliberation, he might take possession of what is not given.&lt;br /&gt;

##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;does not continually discuss topics relating to women&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha discusses such topics, he might fall from the law declared by the Kevalin, because of the destruction or disturbance of his peace.&lt;br /&gt;
##A Nirgrantha &#039;&#039;&#039;does not regard and contemplate the lovely forms of women&#039;&#039;&#039;. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha regards and contemplates the lovely forms of women, he might fall from the law declared by the Kevalin, because of the destruction or disturbance of his peace.&lt;br /&gt;

#I renounce &#039;&#039;&#039;all attachments&#039;&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref group=note&amp;gt;This means the pleasure in external objects.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; whether little or much, small or great, living or lifeless; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;neither shall I myself form such attachments, nor cause others to do so, nor consent to their doing so, etc. ... and exempt myself.&lt;br /&gt;
##If a creature with &#039;&#039;&#039;ears&#039;&#039;&#039; hears agreeable and disagreeable sounds, it should not be attached to, nor delighted with, nor desiring of, nor infatuated by, nor covetous of, nor disturbed by the agreeable or disagreeable sounds. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The Kevalin says: If a Nirgrantha is thus affected by the pleasant or unpleasant sounds, he might fall from the law declared by the Kevalin, because of the destruction or disturbance of his peace. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;If it is impossible not to hear sounds, which reach the ear, the mendicant should avoid love or hate, originated by them.&lt;br /&gt;

::He who is well provided with these great vows and their 25 clauses is really Houseless, if he, according to the sacred lore, the precepts, and the way correctly practises, follows, executes, explains, establishes, and, according to the precept, effects them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;Aṇuvratas&#039;&#039; (minor vows) ==&lt;br /&gt;
The five great vows apply only to ascetics in Jainism, and in their place are five minor vows for laypeople (householders). The historic texts of Jains accept that any activity by a layperson would involve some form of &#039;&#039;himsa&#039;&#039; (violence) to some living beings, and therefore the minor vow emphasizes reduction of the impact and active efforts to protect. The five &amp;quot;minor vows&amp;quot; in Jainism are modeled after the great vows, but differ in degree and they are less demanding or restrictive than the same &amp;quot;great vows&amp;quot; for ascetics.&amp;lt;ref name=cort24/&amp;gt; Thus, &#039;&#039;brahmacharya&#039;&#039; for householders means chastity, or being sexually faithful to one&#039;s partner.&amp;lt;ref name=cort24&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=John E. Cort|title=Jains in the World: Religious Values and Ideology in India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ip7mCwAAQBAJ |year=2001|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-513234-2|pages=24–27}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Similarly, states John Cort, a mendicant&#039;s great vow of ahimsa requires that he or she must avoid gross and subtle forms of violence to all six kinds of living beings (earth beings, water beings, fire beings, wind beings, vegetable beings and mobile beings). In contrast, a Jain householder&#039;s minor vow requires no gross violence against higher life forms and an effort to protect animals from &amp;quot;slaughter, beating, injury and suffering&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=cort24/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from five fundamental vows seven supplementary vows are prescribed for a &#039;&#039;śrāvaka&#039;&#039;. These include three &#039;&#039;guņa vratas&#039;&#039; (Merit vows) and four &#039;&#039;śikşā vratas&#039;&#039; (Disciplinary vows).{{sfn|Tukol|1976|p=5}} The vow of &#039;&#039;sallekhanâ&#039;&#039; is observed by the votary at the end of his life. It is prescribed both for the ascetics and householders.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Nitro&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|mr |नाइट्रो|Naitro}}) is a [[steel roller coaster|steel]] [[Floorless Coaster]] at [[Imagicaa]] [[amusement park]] in [[Khopoli]], [[Maharashtra]], India. Manufactured by [[Bolliger &amp;amp; Mabillard]], the roller coaster reaches a maximum height of {{convert|132|ft|m|adj=off}} and a maximum speed of {{Convert|65.2|mph|km/h}}. The coaster also features five [[Roller coaster inversion|inversions]]. Nitro opened to the public in October 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
As construction progressed with the [[theme park]] in early 2013, the owners of the park gave no details about the roller coaster other than that it would be the largest roller coaster in India.&amp;lt;ref name=screamscape&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Hart|first=Lance|title=Small International Parks|url=http://www.screamscape.com/html/small_international_parks.htm#Adlabs|publisher=Screamscape|access-date=28 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701032352/http://screamscape.com/html/small_international_parks.htm|archive-date=1 July 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Even after the [[Roller Coaster Database]] reported that a [[Bolliger &amp;amp; Mabillard]] [[Floorless Coaster]] would be built at the park, the owners still released no details.&amp;lt;ref name=screamscape/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB&amp;gt;{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Nitro|location=Adlabs Imagica|rcdb_number=6817|access-date=9 April 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In April 2013, the first pieces of the roller coaster were erected.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=&#039;Indian Disney&#039; has toys inspired by Bollywood|url=http://g1.globo.com/turismo-e-viagem/fotos/2013/04/disney-indiana-tem-brinquedos-inspirados-em-bollywood.html#F783090|access-date=28 February 2014|newspaper=G1|date=23 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427093340/http://g1.globo.com/turismo-e-viagem/fotos/2013/04/disney-indiana-tem-brinquedos-inspirados-em-bollywood.html#F783090|archive-date=27 April 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By the end of August, all of the coaster&#039;s track was installed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Marden|first=Duane|title=Nitro Pictures Archive (Adlabs Imagica)|url=http://rcdb.com/6817.htm?p=0|publisher=[[Roller Coaster DataBase]]|access-date=5 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130803233840/http://rcdb.com/6817.htm?p=0|archive-date=3 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Then in the third quarter of 2013, Adlabs Imagica released the details of Nitro.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Nitro|url=http://park.adlabsimagica.com/attraction/americana/nitro|publisher=Adlabs Imagica|access-date=28 February 2014|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017064647/http://park.adlabsimagica.com/attraction/americana/nitro|archive-date=17 October 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nitro was originally scheduled to open in May 2013;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Adlabs Imagica: Will it be a Roller Coaster for Manmohan Shetty?|url=http://forbesindia.com/article/breakpoint/adlabs-imagica-will-it-be-a-roller-coaster-for-manmohan-shetty/35177/1|work=Forbes India|access-date=21 February 2014|date=17 May 2013|author=Samar Srivastava|author2=Deepak Ajwani|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130828101218/http://forbesindia.com/article/breakpoint/adlabs-imagica-will-it-be-a-roller-coaster-for-manmohan-shetty/35177/1|archive-date=28 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; however, it did not open until October.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, Imagicaa announced that Nitro would be renamed to [[Hot Wheels]] Nitro, after a partnership with [[Mattel]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Mander |first1=Michael |title=Imagica to partner with Mattel for Hot Wheels rides |url=https://blooloop.com/theme-park/news/imagica-hot-wheels/ |website=Blooloop |date=23 October 2018 |access-date=4 March 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ride experience==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the [[train (roller coaster)|train]] is loaded and secured, the steel floor is retracted and the gate in front of the train opens. After being dispatched, the train immediately begins to climb the {{convert|132|ft|m|adj=on}} [[chain lift hill]]. At the top, the train drops down a small straight section before finishing the drop with a sharp turn to the right. When the train reaches the bottom of the drop, it reaches its maximum speed of {{Convert|65.2|mph|km/h}} and enters a [[vertical loop]], followed by a [[Roller coaster elements#Dive loop|dive loop]]. After making a slight turn to the right, the train makes a banked right turn through the loop it passes through before. Then, the train passes through a [[trim brake]] (to slow the train down) before entering a [[Roller coaster elements#Zero-gravity roll|zero-gravity roll]]. The train then makes a banked turn to the left leading into the first of the [[Roller coaster elements#Interlocking corkscrews|interlocking corkscrews]]. After a banked turn to the right and a slight turn to the left, the train goes through the second corkscrew. The train then enters an approximate 180-degree downward banked turn to the left before making a final right turn into the [[brake run]] which leads directly back to the station. When the train arrives back to the station, the floors come back up, with the front gate closes, and the next riders board.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt; One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Characteristics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Track===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Bolliger &amp;amp; Mabillard, the steel track of Nitro is approximately {{convert|2800|ft|m|adj=off}} long, and the height of the lift is {{convert|132|ft|m|adj=on}} high.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Nitro Launch|url=http://park.adlabsimagica.com/nitro-launch|publisher=Adlabs Imagica|access-date=24 February 2014 |url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228014036/http://park.adlabsimagica.com/nitro-launch |archive-date=28 February 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The roller coaster also features five inversions.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt; The track is painted red with yellow rails and blue supports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trains===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nitro operates with two steel and fiberglass trains. Each train has six cars that can seat four rides in a single row, for a total of 24 riders per train; each seat has its own individual over the shoulder restraint. The structure of the trains are coloured blue, red, and yellow; the seats are black and the restraints are yellow. Also, unlike traditional steel roller coasters, Nitro does not have a floor on its trains.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the trains reaching a top speed of {{Convert|65.2|mph|km/h}}, Nitro is the second fastest Bolliger &amp;amp; Mabillard Floorless Coaster.&amp;lt;ref name=RCDB/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Neha Borkar from the [[Indiatimes]] said, &amp;quot;[The roller coaster] almost kills you, because it twirls, twists, and turns at a rapid speed, which reminds you of speed from the movies like &#039;Final Destination&#039; and &#039;The Fast and the Furious&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Borkar|first=Neha|title=Review: Adlabs Imagica|url=http://www.indiatimes.com/lifestyle/travel/review-adlabs-imagica-116265-2.html|access-date=5 March 2014|newspaper=[[Indiatimes]]|date=10 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109105357/http://www.indiatimes.com/lifestyle/travel/review-adlabs-imagica-116265-2.html|archive-date=9 January 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Gazole&#039;&#039;&#039; (also spelled Gajol) is a [[Community development block in India|community development block]] that forms an administrative division in [[Malda Sadar subdivision]] of [[Malda district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[West Bengal]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Gauda and Pandua===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Gauḍa (city)|Gauda]] was once the “capital of the ancient bhukti or political division of Bengal known as [[Pundravardhana]] which lay on the eastern extremity of the [[Gupta Empire]].” During the rule of the [[Sena Dynasty]], in the 11th-12th century, Gauda was rebuilt and extended as Lakshmanawati (later Lakhnauti), and it became the hub of the Sena empire. Gauda was conquered by [[Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji]] in 1205. During the Turko-Afghan period, “the city of Lakhnauti or Gauda continued to function initially as their capital but was abandoned in 1342 by the [[Ilyas Shahi dynasty|Ilyas Shahi sultans]] in favour of [[Pandua, Malda|Pandua]] because of major disturbances along the river course of the [[Ganges|Ganga]].” “Pandua then lay on the banks of the [[Mahananda River|Mahananda]], which was the major waterway of the sultanate at the time. However, when the Mahananda too began to veer away from the site of Pandua in the mid-15th century, Gauda was rebuilt and restored to the status of capital city by the [[Hussain Shahi dynasty|Hussain Shahi sultans]]”… With the ascent of [[Akbar]] to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] throne at Delhi… the Mughals annexed the ancient region of [[Gauḍa (region)|Gauda]] in 1576 and created the Diwani of Bengal. The centre of regional power shifted across the Ganga to [[Rajmahal]]. Following the demise of the independent sultanate, the regional importance of the Gauda or Malda region declined irreversibly and the city of Gauda was eventually abandoned.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url = http://wbpspm.gov.in/publications/District%20Human%20Development%20Report | title = District Human Development Report, Malda | work = pages 3-4: Malda in Historical Perspective | publisher = Department of Planning, Statistics and Programme Monitoring, Government of West Bengal | access-date = 6 November 2018 | archive-date = 19 January 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180119150840/http://www.wbpspm.gov.in/publications/District%20Human%20Development%20Report | url-status = dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Malda district===&lt;br /&gt;
With the advent of the British, their trading and commercial interests focused on the new cities of Malda and English Bazar. Malda district was formed in 1813 with “some portion of outlying areas of Purnia, Dinajpur and Rajshahi districts”.  A separate treasury was established in 1832 and a full-fledged Magistrate and Collector was posted in 1859. Malda district was part of Rajshahi Division till 1876, when it was transferred to Bhagalpur Division, and again transferred in 1905 to Rajshahi Division. With the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]] in 1947, the [[Radcliffe Line]] placed Malda district in India, except the Nawabganj subdivision, which was placed in East Pakistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/19/1906_PART_A_DCHB_MALDAH.pdf |title = District Census Handbook Maldah, Series 20, Part XII A | work= Census of India 2011, Pages 6-8: Brief History of the District |publisher=  Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal | access-date = 6 January 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Geography==&lt;br /&gt;
Gazole is located at {{coord|25.2204800|N|88.1892700|E|source:yahoomaps_region:IN-WB |}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ruins of the historic city [[Pandua, Malda|Pandua]] are located in Gazole block and also naturally growing a forest which called Adina Forest (now it is a Deer Park namely [[Adina Deer Park]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gazole CD Block is a part of the [[Barind Tract]], one of the three physiographic subregions of the district that goes beyond the boundaries of the district. “This region is made up of the ancient alluvial humps that are remnants of old riverine flood plains that remained unaffected subsequently by inundation and renewed silting.” It forms an upland slightly higher than the surrounding areas. Old Malda and Gazole CD Blocks form the Mahananda-Tangon [[interfluve]]s area.

Population density in the district has intensified from 162 persons per km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in 1901 to 881 in 2001 (i.e., around five times), which is highest amongst the districts of North Bengal. However, unlike the densely populated southern regions of West Bengal, urbanisation remains low in Malda district. North Bengal in general, and Malda in particular, has been witness to large scale population movement from other states in India and other districts of West Bengal, as well as from outside the country.

According to the report, “An overwhelmingly large segment of the rural workforce depends on agriculture as its main source of livelihood, the extent of landlessness in Malda has traditionally been high because of the high densities of human settlement in the district… Although land reforms were implemented in Malda district from the time they were launched in other parts of West Bengal, their progress has been uneven across the Malda blocks… because of the overall paucity of land, the extent of [[Land reform in India|ceiling-surplus]] land available for redistribution has never been large… The high levels of [[rural poverty]] that exist in nearly all blocks in Malda district closely reflect the livelihood crisis… “&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;humandev2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Venue==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Eddfestgrouplive1.jpg|thumb|right|The band&#039;s signature pose with the Bangalore crowd in the background]] --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The venue for the historic concert was the [[Bangalore Palace]] Grounds located in north Bangalore. The entire venue was enclosed within the grounds and was initially only meant for accommodating 25,000 people. But the enormous demand for tickets lead to the venue being over crowded with 35,000 people inside and around 4,000 people outside who could not enter as tickets were all sold out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The front crowd barrier just in front of the stage had to be refortified by dozens of security staff members standing their ground supporting the barrier and placing bamboo and wooden sticks to hold the barrier due to overcrowding.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;picturedesk.co.uk&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://picturedesk.co.uk/news/?p=76] Article by [[John McMurtrie]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Significance==&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from being the largest music concert to be held in India, the event was also responsible for opening the gates for other international hard rock and heavy metal bands to tour in India. Iron Maiden themselves were overwhelmed by the crowd response and have since played 2 more times in the country. It was also the first concert in India to have official merchandise stores at the venue. &lt;br /&gt;
The festival is also seen as a precursor and the basis on which the now yearly [[Rock In India]] festival is based on, as Eddfest was the first of its kind rock festival in the country. The Rock In India festival takes place at the same venue as Eddfest. &lt;br /&gt;
The event grossed over Rs 45,000,000 in ticket sales and another Rs 900,000 in merchandise revenue making it the most profitable concert in India with regards to total gate revenue. &lt;br /&gt;
Ticketpro international reported that the remarkable success of the event was highlighted by the fact that almost 80 percent of the tickets were sold well before the concert, which is very unusual for India.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100212213607/http://www.ticketpro.biz/jnp/international-news/9120-article-3.html]}} Ticketpro.biz article on Iron Maiden&#039;s first show in India&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Live audio updates on the radio were constantly broadcast from the venue on Radio Indigo throughout the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sponsors==&lt;br /&gt;
The Eddfest event was produced by DNA Networks India in conjunction with NOUS Productions,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dnalive.indiatimes.com/ironmaiden/] Indiatimes web page {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20100212131459/http://dnalive.indiatimes.com/ironmaiden/|date=12 February 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and sponsored by [[Vh1]], [[Nokia]] India, [[Reliance Mobile]], [[Pepsi]], [[NDTV 24x7]], Radio Indigo, Royal Challenge and [[Sanyo]]. Travel sponsors were Lufthansa Airlines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On-line ticketing was handled by ticketpro India and on-line marketing was done by indiatimes.com. [[Levi&#039;s]] was the merchandising partner of the event.&lt;br /&gt;
