== Overview ==
The show revolves around Durga Thakur a beautiful, mysterious and enigmatic girl from the US and Shaurya Goenka a spoiled brat of Kolkata's most rich, powerful and influential family the Goenkas. Durga and her father the rich and famous cancer specialist Dr. Dayal Thakur arrive in Kolkata to open Asia's biggest cancer research center in Kolkata. This attracts the attention of the Goenka's, headed by Rajanath Goenka, his wife the beautiful and very vicious Sakshi Goenka. As Rajanath plans to enter politics in the future he believes that the cancer research project would improve his image socially.

Durga meets Shourya and his family at a Durga Pooja and Shaurya as his nature gets infatuated by Durga in the first sight. Rajanth is also impressed by Durga but Sakshi feels weird and senses danger. It is then revealed that Durga has come to the city to get revenge on Shaurya and bring justice to Payal Mithra, who was raped by Shaurya Goenka 2 years ago. But the Goenkas using their power and money turned the case around and Shaurya was aquitted innocent.

Shaurya places a bet with his friends Karan the son of a power political leader, Tarun the son of a famous director and Rishi that he will make Durga fall for him and sleep with her. All these 4 are involved in the rape case 2 years ago. From then, Shaurya tried in multiple ways to impress Durga and make her fall for him. But Durga aware of Shaurya's true intentions and nature befriends him but does not allow him near her.

As things progress, Durga one by one destroys the support system of the Goenkas that is the people who helped them and lied during Payal's case. She initially targets Naveen Mathur, right hand of the Goenkas and frames him that he is helping Chowdary the rival of Goenkas. Sakshi and Rajanth believe it and throw him behind the bars. Sakshi who belives Durga is danger from the start grows increasingly cautious and unaeasy about Durga. She also warns Shaurya to stay away from Durga multiple times, but Shaurya doesn't pay heed due to his ego and the bet.

As things unfold it ia revealed that Durga is none other than Nithya Mithra, Payal's elder sister who filed the case 2 years ago and stood against the Goenka's. After Shaurya was acquitted, Sakshi sends some goons to kill her but she meets with an accident and falls off a slope. The car was driven by Dr. Dayal and he saves her and gives her his daugther Durga's face who was dead, after plastic surgery as Nithya's was completely disfigured during the accident. Nithya then narrates her story and Dayal decided to help her. Thus arriving in Kolkata after 2 years secretly and precisely planning everything. Shaurya unaware of all this pursues Durga irrespective of his mother's warnings.

Then enters Dev Goenka, the elder brother of Shaurya and the son of Suchithra and Arnab Goenka Rajantj's elder brother. Dev is a simple and humble guy who follows his father's footsteps and is madly in love eith Nithya. Dev, Nithya and Payal were childhood friends. Dev returns from the US after 2 years and yearns to confess his love to Nithya but is informed that she died 2 years ago.

==Reception==
===Critics===
[[File:Simone Singh graces the Moet N Chandon bash at F bar 04.jpg|thumb|160px|Among the cast members, Singh's portrayal of Sakshi Goenka has been well appreciated. A review carried by ''The Indian Express'' noted that "her attitude and elegance comes across distinctly in her character".<ref name="praise">{{cite news|date=9 May 2014|title=Ek Hasina Thi / Needs to be more convincing|work=The Indian Express|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/screen/ek-hasina-thi-needs-to-be-more-convincing/|access-date=18 December 2014}}</ref>]]

[[Mid-Day]] stated, "Ek Hasina Thi had a great start. However, despite a good plotline, impressive star cast (Simone Singh, Ayub Khan and Sanjeeda Shaikh and Vatsal Seth) and many awards, it failed to keep up with the initial pace and lost out on viewers."<ref name="performance">{{cite news|date=19 November 2014|title=Major revamp on small screen as older shows make way for new|work=[[Mid-Day]]|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/major-revamp-on-small-screen-as-older-shows-make-way-for-new/15776184|access-date=16 December 2014}}</ref>

[[The Indian Express]] stated the series to be more convincing and said, "The USP of the show is the fast-paced, gripping storyline and the immensely-talented star cast. But the characters seem edgy most of the time which doesn’t look very convincing and the performance of the lead actors is not standing out as yet. The most interesting and powerful performance is by Simone Singh. Her attitude and elegance comes across distinctly in her character of Sakshi Goenka. Like Singh’s, Ayub Khan's role too is well-sketched and projected with ease. The show is well-scripted and has the ability to make a mark but the fact remains that the lead actors will have to put in a lot of effort to make their characters look convincing and believable. The settings, makeup and clothes are the main highlights and strong base of the show."<ref name="praise" />

[[Daily News and Analysis]] rated two and half stars and praised, "The storyline is gripping, fast-paced and slick. It's nice to see a bunch of good looking actors together. The setting in Kolkata, the ambience, the bungalows, the visuals etc speak of high production values. The serial, in short, is easy on the eye." On the other hand, they also said, "All the characters seem to be on edge, which is annoying. Nobody seems to be what they are. More importantly, whether the serial works or not is completely dependent on the actors' performances, especially since it's not a linear story. And so far, they are falling short." Speaking on cast performance they said, Beautiful and sophisticated Simone plays the shrewd and manipulative Sakshi Goenka with elan. Sanjeeda's character is layered, but it's not coming through in her performance. Even Vatsal lacks the edginess both in terms of looks and performance."<ref name="Chaya Unnikrishnan" />

[[Deccan Chronicle]] criticised, "It’s a tried and tested plot but one that still holds a lot of potential. But the problem here is that there is no thrill in this thriller. Ek Hasina Thi follows the silly, repetitive style of saas-bahu (mother in law-daughter in law) serials, and every teeny-weeny thing gets dragged for a week, making the eventual revenge very tiresome."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ek Hasina Thi: No thrill in this thriller|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/140511/entertainment-tvmusic/article/ek-hasina-thi-no-thrill-thriller|website=Deccan Chronicle|date=11 May 2014 }}</ref>

==Early life==
Hooda was born in a farming family in the Chamaria Village of the [[Haryana]]'s [[Rohtak district]]. He lost his mother when he was four year old. He started playing [[kabaddi]] in his village in 2009.<ref name="interview">{{cite news|last1=Sharma|first1=Aditya|title=Interview with Deepak Nivas Hudda: "Worked as a teacher to support my dream of playing kabaddi"|url=https://in.news.yahoo.com/interview-deepak-nivas-hudda-worked-185732189.html|accessdate=18 March 2016|work=[[Yahoo!

Due to that, he had to leave his studies and become a part-time teacher. For the next two years, after completing his job at the school, he would go to other villages to practice [[kabaddi]], which helped him improve his game immensely. He then pursued his graduation. There, he played at the All-India University tournament and won a gold medal.<ref name=interview/> After that, he left his studies once again to pursue a career in kabaddi.<ref name=interview/>

== Plot ==
The film begins in a village where a wise lady, Parvati, raises her two sons, Prabhakar & Sudhakar, along with her mute daughter, Gauri. Soon after getting a fine job, Prabhakar quits and neglects his family. However, Parvati stands strong and strives hard to educate Sudhakar. Years roll by, and Sudhakar joins the college, where he falls for Padma, daughter of a millionaire Seth Dharmdas. Parallelly, in an anecdote, Gauri loves a pure Murli, which his cheapskate father Makhan Seth opposes. As a result, Gauri commits suicide, and Murli follows her—besides, Prabhakar has an extravagant life in false prestige and bribes, which is turndown by his wife, Pooja. The couple is blessed with a genuine boy, Krishna, who is moral. Meanwhile, Padma marries Sudhakar without her father’s acceptance. However, she is unable to acclimatize to poverty and her husband’s priority toward his mother. Hence, she separates Sudhakar from his mother, which Parvati also insists on. Now, Sudhakar wants to teach the Padma a lesson, so he forges as a gambler & drunkard. Simultaneously, Krishna learns about his grandmother and moves for her. By the time Parvati is on her deathbed, she is heartfelt with joy to see her grandson, and he serves her. As the clock runs, Padma becomes pregnant and gives birth to a boy, but Sudhakar splits the baby from the mother. Thus, Dharmdas files a case where Sudhakar proclaims it’s a play to convey genuine motherly affection when Padma pleads for pardon. At last, they move to Parvati, including Prabhakar, who went bankrupt. Finally, the movie ends with Parvati happily leaving her last breath in the hands of the children.

The Theosophist Annie Besant, who was actually the President of Indian National Congress in 1917–1918, had established Central Hindu College in 1898, and for a long time it was closely linked with the Theosophical movement. Theosophists generally played an important role in the making of Indian nationalism, especially because they propagated the 'spirituality' of the Hindu (and Buddhist) traditions as superior to Western 'materialistic' civilization.}}</ref><ref name=jaffe-besant>{{cite book |last = Jaffe | first = Richard M. |title=Seeking Sakyamuni: South Asia in the Formation of Modern Japanese Buddhism| publisher = University of Chicago Press | year = 2019|isbn = 978-0-226-39114-4|quote=In Benares, Kawaguchi took up residence in the faculty residence hall at Central Hindu College (later Banares Hindu University) while studying Sanskrit there as well as at the Government Sanskrit College (a.k.a.

Annie Besant and her Theosophical Society associates founded Central Hindu College in 1898 as part of her broader efforts to build a higher-education system in India that honored Indian traditions. Cultivating the rising tide of nationalism, Besant argued that government-run schools were denigrating Indian language, religion, and literature, turning Indians against their glorious culture. In order to preserve the ''sanatana'' Dharma (eternal Dharma, which was understood as "orthodox Hinduism"), Besant garnered the support of many wealthy Indians, including the Maharaja of Benares who augmented the original property holdings with additional land and buildings. At the time of the college's inception, each day began with a Hindu prayer, segregation of students by caste was honored, and religious education in nonsectarian Hinduism as portrayed in the school textbook ''Sanatana Dharma'' was emphasized. The founders' concession to modern education was including instruction in science and other subjects that were in tune with the times.(p. 87)}}</ref> By December 1911, Annie Besant and the Theosophists had relinquished day-to-day control of the Central Hindu College to [[Madan Mohan Malaviya]] and others, who emphasised a more orthodox Hindu education, preserving traditional practices such as the hereditary caste system,<ref name=jaffrelot-malaviya-benares-h-u>{{cite book|last=Jaffrelot|first=Christophe|title=Hindu Nationalism: A Reader|location=Princeton and Oxford|publisher=Princeton University Press|year=2007|isbn=978-0-691-13097-2|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mOXWgr53A5kC&pg=PA62|page=61–62|quote=A lawyer by training, Malviya became a member of the Congress upon its inception, and was a professional politician: he was appointed president of Congress in 1909 and in 1918 got himself first elected to the Municipal Council of Allahabad and then to the Provincial Legislative Council without interruption for decades. He constantly defended moderate positions on the British presence in India, as well as conservative views of social reform. He was the archetypal orthodox Brahmin. He would not accept food from people who were not of his own jati. He started the Hindu Samaj (Hindu Society) in 1880 to defend the region's Hindu festivals, in particular the yearly Magh Mela, which he felt was under threat on account of missionaries. Soon afterwards, he launched plans for a Hindu university. This was to become the Benares Hindu University (BHU) in 1916. The idea was to preserve the Hindu tradition, including a hereditary caste system. Soon after the opening of BHU, in 1922 Malaviya was instrumental in reviving the Hindu Mahasabha within the Congress.}}</ref> in contrast to Besant's Theosophical vision.<ref name=jaffe-besant-2>{{cite book |last = Jaffe | first = Richard M. |title=Seeking Sakyamuni: South Asia in the Formation of Modern Japanese Buddhism| publisher = University of Chicago Press | year = 2019|isbn = 978-0-226-39114-4|quote=Over the course of Kawaguchi's seven years in Benares, particularly as Annie Besant became enmeshed in the founding of the Order of the Rising Sun (later Order of the Star in East), which was centered on [[Jiddu Krishnamurti]] as the world messiah, Indian supporters sought to wrest control of the college from the Theosophists, fearing that Hindu education was being infused with a Theosophically tinged version of Christianity. By 1911, Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861–1946) and others promoting Hindu education were putting plans in place to forge a university that would "train teachers of religion for the preservation and promotion of the Sanatan Dharma which is inculcated by the ''Srutis'', ''Smritis'', and ''Puranas'', and recognised by ''Varna-Ashram''. In addition "the University was to be residential, students were to be admitted directly after the [[upanayan]] (sacred thread ceremony) and to observed the laws of ''[[Brahmacharya]]'' throughout their student career. At the time of the college's thirteenth-anniversary celebrations in December 1911, the Theosophists, including Besant, had lost control of the institution they had begun. Their approach to Hindu education, as expressed in ''Sanatana Dharma'', was abandoned for the more orthodox Hinduism of Malaviya and his associates, who now controlled the governance of the school. By 1913, as Central Hindu College merged into the new Benares Hindu University, the Theosophists were left with but a nominal role in the institution's governance.

At the 21st Conference of the [[Indian National Congress]] in [[Benares]] in December 1905, Malaviya publicly announced his intent to establish a university in [[Banaras]]. Malaviya continued to develop his vision for the university with inputs from other Indian nationalists and educationists. He published his plan in 1911. The focus of his arguments was the prevailing poverty in India and the decline in income of Indians compared to Europeans. The plan called for the focus on technology and science, besides the study of India's religion and culture:<ref name="bhu-founder-19">{{cite web |year=2006 |title=Founder of Banaras Hindu University: Mahamana Bharat Ratna Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya |url=http://bhu.ac.in/MMMMM.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120412191310/http://www.bhu.ac.in/MMMMM.pdf |archive-date=12 April 2012 |access-date=2012-06-04 |publisher=Banarash Hindu University |page=19}}</ref>

<blockquote>
"The millions mired in poverty here can only get rid (of it) when science is used in their interest. Such maximum application of science is only possible when scientific knowledge is available to Indians in their own country."

-- Madan Mohan Malviya<ref name="bhu-founder-19" />
</blockquote>[[File:Mahamana Malviya ji Inaugurate Literacy Day.jpg|thumb|Founder [[Mahamana]] inaugurate literacy day among students|left|216x216px]]Malaviya's plan evaluated whether to seek government recognition for the university or operate without its control. He decided in favour of the former for various reasons. Malaviya also considered the question of medium of instruction and decided to start with English given the prevalent environment, and gradually add [[Hindi language|Hindi]] and other [[Languages of India|Indian languages]]. A distinguishing characteristic of Malaviya's vision was the preference for a [[residential college|residential university]]. All other Indian universities of the period, such as the universities in [[University of Mumbai|Bombay]], [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta]], [[University of Madras|Madras]], etc., were affiliating universities which only conducted examinations and awarded degrees to students of their affiliated colleges.<ref name="Singh">{{cite book |title=Banaras Region: A Spiritual and Cultural Guide |last=Singh |first=Rana P.B. |author2=Pravin S.

===Library===
{{main|Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library, BHU}}

[[File:Central Library BHU.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Central Library, BHU|left]]
The Banaras Hindu University Library system was established from a collection donated by P.K. Telang in the memory of his father Justice [[Kashinath Trimbak Telang]] in 1917. The collection was housed in the Telang Hall of the Central Hindu College, Kamachha. In 1921, the library was moved to the Central Hall of the Arts College (now the Faculty of Arts).

The present Central Library of BHU was established with a donation from Maharaja [[Sayajirao Gaekwad III]] of [[Baroda]]. Upon his return from the [[Round Table Conferences (India)|First round Table Conference]], Gaekwad wanted a library built on the pattern of the [[British Library]] and [[British Museum Reading Room|its reading room]], which was then located in the [[British Museum]]. On Malviya's suggestion, he made the donation to build the library on the BHU campus.<ref name="bhu-centrallibrary">{{cite web|title=Genesis and history|url=http://www.bhu.ac.in/bhulibrary/history.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524161705/http://www.bhu.ac.in/bhulibrary/history.htm|archive-date=24 May 2015|access-date=4 June 2012|publisher=Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Library, BHU}}</ref>

By 1931, the library had built a collection of around 60,000 volumes. The trend of donation of personal and family collection to the library continued as late as the 1940s with the result that it has unique pieces of rarities of books and journals dating back to the 18th century.

As of 2011, the BHU Library System consisted of the Central Library and 3 Institute Libraries, 8 Faculty Libraries and over 25 Departmental Libraries, with a collection of at least 1.3 million volumes.<ref name=bhu-centrallibrary/> The digital library is available to students and staff and provides online access to thousands of journals, besides access to large collections of online resources<ref name="bhu-lib-services">{{cite web|title=Library Services|url=http://bhu.ac.in/bhulibrary/services.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120604211914/http://www.bhu.ac.in/bhulibrary/services.htm|archive-date=4 June 2012|access-date=6 June 2012|publisher=Banaras Hindu University}}</ref> through the [[National Informatics Centre]]'s DELNET<ref name="delnet">{{cite web|title=Developing Library Network|url=http://delnet.nic.in/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511110035/http://delnet.nic.in/|archive-date=11 May 2012|access-date=6 June 2012|publisher=National Informatics Centre}}</ref> and UGC's INFLIBNET.<ref name="inflibnet">{{cite web|title=Information and Library Network Centre|url=http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921082109/https://www.inflibnet.ac.in/|archive-date=21 September 2019|access-date=6 June 2012|publisher=University Grants Commission}}</ref>

'''''Ganashatru''''' ({{langx|bn|গণশত্রু}} ''Gônoshotru'' '''Enemy of the People'''/ '''Public Enemy''') is a 1990 Indian film directed by [[Satyajit Ray]]. It is an adaptation of [[Henrik Ibsen]]'s 1882 play ''[[An Enemy of the People]]'', and was released under that title in the UK. The cast includes Ray's favourite actor [[Soumitra Chatterjee]], and veteran actors such as [[Dhritiman Chatterjee]], [[Subhendu Chatterjee|Shubhendu Chatterjee]], [[Manoj Mitra]] and [[Ruma Guhathakurta]]. Ray adapts the play to an Indian setting: a flourishing township in which a temple attracts devotees as well as tourists. When a health problem is discovered, Dr Ashok Gupta, played by Soumitra Chatterjee, finds his popularity flagging. The film was screened out of competition at the [[1989 Cannes Film Festival]].<ref name="festival-cannes.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/240/year/1989.html |title=Festival de Cannes: Ganashatru |access-date=2009-08-03 |work=festival-cannes.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121003194429/http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/240/year/1989.html |archive-date=3 October 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref>

==Plot==
Ashok Gupta, played by [[Soumitra Chatterjee]], an honest doctor, diagnoses the alarming spread of [[jaundice]] among his patients. To identify the cause, he analyses the water of a populated part of his town, Chandipur. According to the report, the holy water (''charanamrita'') of the Tripureshwar temple, a famous temple and tourist attraction of the town, is found to be contaminated due to damage to the underground piping system.

The temple was the source of income for all of the corrupt politicians. Among these politicians is Dr. Gupta's younger brother, Nishith Gupta, portrayed by [[Dhritiman Chatterjee]], who is also the chairman of the municipality. He and other beneficiaries of the temple decide to prevent the doctor from alerting the people.

As a responsible member of the society, the doctor tries to broadcast the fact of contamination to the people, proposing temporary closure of the temple for water purification. However, the Chairman is absolutely against this idea as it tampers with their profits. They are not ready to accept scientific evidence and instead says ''charanamrita'' can never be contaminated because it is holy.

He also tries to publish an essay in a local daily newspaper (''Janabarta'') on the topic. But the corrupt officials suppress his voice. The newspaper rejects his essay, fearing political pressure and public rage.

As the story progresses, Dr. Gupta even tries to convey his message in a public meeting. Unfortunately, it is infiltrated and disrupted by his brother and his associates. The Chairman is able to manipulate the community against the doctor's attempts to save it. He faces a widespread angry response and goes from being a leader of the society to an enemy of the people.
Dr. Gupta loses his job in the local hospital and his daughter is terminated from her post of a teacher. The landlord asks them to move out.

However, at the end of the movie Dr. Gupta gets justice. The young educated population of the town sides with him while his son-in-law's theatre troupe campaigns for him. The assistant editor of ''Janabarta'' quits his job to side with him and sends his writings and interview to top newspapers in [[Kolkata]]. The film ends with Gupta family deciding to stay in Chandipur, amidst a shout of "Long Live Dr. Ashok Gupta!" around him.

== Plot ==
Santhu and his in-laws are buying jewelry for their marriage when he gets a call that his cousin Rama is unconscious and has been hospitalized after his wife threw a glass bottle at him. When his father-in-law threatens to cancel the engagement, claiming the matter will bring dishonour to his family, Santhu challenges his narrow view of masculinity and narrates Rama's story.

As a child, Rama's father, Siddegowda, abuses his long-suffering mother, Kousalya, and instills [[toxic masculinity]] and chauvinistic values into him. As he grows up, he consistently chides and degrades women to maintain his macho image, but in college he meets and falls in love with a naive and shy fresher, Shivani. However, Rama tries to control her behavior and social life, culminating in an outburst where Shivani leaves him after he raises her hand against him. In response, Rama refuses to apologize and drinks his sorrows away over several months. Santhu calls Kousalya to help him but he refuses to listen to her; Kousalya dies shortly after to Rama's shock.

Upon going home for Kousalya's funeral, Rama is surprised to see Shivani participate in the burial rituals. She reveals that Kousalya met her to convince her to take him back, but she had challenged Kousalya, saying her father and son had constantly suppressed her desires to enable their own recklessness. This spurs reflection in Rama of his view of masculinity, and he tries to ask Shivani for forgiveness and another chance; she reveals that she got engaged with another man. To fulfill Kousalya's wishes for once, Rama decides to wed Muthulakshmi, who Kousalya had previously wanted to arrange his marriage to, without any hesitation or even knowledge of her.

During the marriage ceremony, Santhu discovers that Muthulakshmi is an alcoholic and tries to stop the wedding to no avail. Rama reveals that he had found out as well but continued with the marriage. Muthulakshmi reverses the gender roles on Rama in ironic ways to Siddegowda's chagrin. She discloses that she started drinking after her parents forced her to go to medical school and her friend group, led by Nishan, encouraged her to drink in parties and to get over her fear of corpses, leading to her addiction and rustication from school. Her parents tried to marry her off to force her to change, but all their attempts failed until Rama agreed to marry her.

Rama, now supportive and less macho, readmits Muthulakshmi and cares for her as she studies and recovers, despite her rebukes of him and continued alcohol abuse. One night, Muthulakshmi leaves for a party with her old friends, where Rama also arrives. She goads him by saying she had loved Nishan and wanted to divorce Rama. Rama finds that Nishan was mixing drugs in Muthulakshmi's drink, causing her alcoholism. A scuffle ensues and a drunk Muthulakshmi, thinking that Rama was jealous, throws a glass bottle at Rama, knocking him out.

In the present, Santhu's father-in-law, inspired by Rama's change, agrees to continue with the marriage. Enraged about the attack, Siddegowda files a complaint against her. Meanwhile, Muthulakshmi finds out the truth the next morning, but Nishan encourages Muthulakshmi to file a counter complaint accusing Rama of abuse to save them from jail time. Muthulakshmi, however, rips up her complaint after realizing how Rama's affection. Rama also withdraws Siddegowda's complaint, pointing out his father's similar mistakes and saying that men should also take care and support the women in their lives. Rama offers Muthulakshmi a divorce, but she admits her love and askes for him back, which he agrees to. With Rama, Muthulakshmi and Siddegowda all having reformed, the family poses for a picture together on Rama's birthday, making space for Kousalya to be added in as the film ends.

{{Portuguese colonial campaigns}}

The '''Portuguese conquest of Daman''' was a military campaign undertaken by the [[Portuguese Empire]] against the city of Daman, in [[India]], until then owned by the [[Gujarat Sultanate|Sultanate of Gujarat]]. The Portuguese captured the city.

==Context==
Upon assuming office as viceroy of India, Dom Constantino de Bragança sought to reinforce the security of Portuguese [[Fort Vasai|Bassein]] by establishing a new stronghold at nearby Daman, which the Portuguese governor of India [[Francisco Barreto]] had previously obtained from the Sultan of Gujarat [[Ahmad Shah III]] as a concession but was unable to take possession of it due to the resistance of the lord of the territory, whom the Portuguese identified as ''Cide Bofata'', who rebelled against the decision of the sultan and gathered 4000 men to defend it.<ref name=danvers/> The viceroy therefore sailed with a force of 100 ships to take Daman by force.<ref name=danvers/>

==The campaign==
Upon landing at Daman, the Siddi Bofeta had the resident Christians beheaded for suspecting collusion with the Portuguese, and then promptly abandoned the city to retreat inland, allowing the Portuguese to capture the settlement unopposed.<ref name=danvers/><ref name=xavier/> The first Portuguese to enter the city and fly a regimental flag was Manuel Rolim, upon which the Portuguese armada fired a gun salute.<ref name=xavier/> The Gujarati camped at Pernel, where they prepared a force of 2000 horsemen to resist the Portuguese.<ref name=danvers/> António Moniz Barreto marched out during the night with 500 men, and successfully conducted a night-time attack against the camp, driving the enemy from it with a loss of 500 men.<ref name=danvers/> 36 large cannon were captured, along with money and other spoils.<ref name=danvers/>

By liberality and other means, Dom Constantino compelled the native inhabitants who had fled to return to their homes.<ref name=danvers/> The viceroy also confirmed the rights over the customs of Daman to the neighbouring King of Sarceta, a nearby mountain ruler.<ref name=danvers/>

Dom Constantino then endeavoured to capture [[Valsad]] (''Bulsar'' in Portuguese), towards which objective he dispatched Dom Pedro de Almeida with 150 horsemen and 150 infantrymen.<ref name=danvers/> The local inhabitants fled at the approach of the Portuguese, and a garrison of 120 men was left in the place.<ref name=danvers>Frederick Charles Danvers: ''The Portuguese in India: Being a History of the Rise and Decline of their Eastern Empire'', volume I, W. H. Allen & Co. Limited, 1894, pp. 512-513.</ref>

==Aftermath==
The Gujarati fort was captured by the Portuguese and christened as ''Nossa Senhora da Purificação'' after the day it was captured.<ref name=xavier>Carlos Xavier: "A cidade e o porto de Damão nos Séculos XVIII e XIX" in ''Revista de Cultura do Instituto Cultural de Macau''.</ref>

Having secured the region, Dom Constantino established a garrison of 1200 men at Daman, upon which he returned to [[Goa]], capital of Portuguese possessions in Asia.<ref name=danvers/> After the acquisition of Bassein in 1534 and Diu in 1535, Portuguese grip on navigation in the Gulf of Khambat became even tighter, making it increasingly difficult for Indian ships to travel without acquiring a [[cartaz]], and the invicibility of Portuguese fleets terrified the Gujaratis into accepting the system.<ref>K. M. Mathew: ''History of Portuguese Navigation in India'', Mittal Publications, 1988, p. 137.</ref> Control of the Gulf was therefore complete.<ref>Clive Ponting: ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=xSt_94gk19AC&dq=conquest%20of%20daman%201559&pg=PA522 World History: A New Perspective]'', Random House, 2008, p. 522.</ref>

Daman would remain in the possession of Portugal for 402 years, until 1961.

Filmed in [[Cinecolor]] in 1948, it is based on an annual [[passion play]] in [[Lawton, Oklahoma]], "The Prince of Peace," created in 1926 by Rev. A. Mark Wallock. This Easter pageant became immensely popular among locals, attracting as many as 250,000 people.<ref>''Motion Picture Daily'', April 18, 1949, p.4.</ref>

The film was presented in various forms through the years following its debut. It also served as the debut film of child actress [[Ginger Prince]], who was touted as her generation's [[Shirley Temple]].<ref name="FeasterWood1999">{{cite book|last1=Feaster|first1=Felicia|last2=Wood|first2=Bret|title=Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r-v-AAAACAAJ|year=1999|publisher=Midnight Marquee Press|isbn=1-887664-24-6|pages=111–113}}</ref>

==Plot and production==
The basis of the film is the annual Easter Sunday performance of the [[crucifixion]] of [[Jesus Christ]], as performed by real-life residents of Lawton.<ref name="FeasterWood1999"/> These scenes were filmed by local director Harold Daniels. The finished film ran less than one hour, and producer Kroger Babb saw a chance to expand this amateur footage into a full-length feature film. He recruited Hollywood rewrite specialist [[W. Scott Darling]] to prepare a new framework using Hollywood character actors [[Forrest Taylor]], [[Maude Eburne]], [[Ferris Taylor]], [[Lee "Lasses" White]], [[William Ruhl]], and [[Willa Pearl Curtis]]. Veteran director [[William Beaudine]] staged the new scenes, which were photographed by [[Henry Sharp (cinematographer)|Henry Sharp]] and edited by [[Richard C. Currier]]. The amplified film ran 101 minutes, with the last half devoted to the Christ story.

The film's story revolves around a six-year-old girl (Prince) who becomes the positive influence in her town of Lawton. The girl, who lives with her grandfather in a small house, successfully convinces her great-uncle, a ruthless [[mortgage loan|mortgage]] lender, to see the performance of a passion play in Lawton. The uncle is moved by the performance and changes his greedy and sinful ways.<ref name="FriedmanDeNevi1990">{{cite book |last1=Friedman |first1=David F. |last2=DeNevi |first2=Don |title=A Youth in Babylon: Confessions of a Trash-Film King |url=https://archive.org/details/youthinbabylonco00frie |url-access=registration |date=1 November 1990 |publisher=[[Prometheus Books]] |location=[[Buffalo, New York]] |isbn=978-0-87975-608-6 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/youthinbabylonco00frie/page/53 53]–55}}</ref> The new scenes with Prince were filmed over a six-day period by William Beaudine in Lawton.<ref name="Marshall2005">{{cite book|last=Marshall|first=Wendy L.|title=William Beaudine: From Silents to Television|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fj5LUYOQ_RkC&pg=246|year=2005|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-5218-1|pages=246–247}}</ref>

It was marketed in a manner similar to other [[Roadshow theatrical release|roadshow]]-style film productions, such as ''[[Mom and Dad (1945 film)|Mom and Dad]]''. Promoters of the film often sold [[Bible]]s and faith pamphlets following screenings to capitalize on the religious element, often with a lecture during [[intermission]].<ref name="FriedmanDeNevi1990"/> Kroger Babb had no issue with his attempts at making money off the religious topic, saying that "It's no sin to make a profit."<ref name="time1949">{{cite news |publisher=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |author=Staff |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,856197,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110131034424/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,856197,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 31, 2011 |title=Something for the Soul |date=18 April 1949 |volume=53 |number=16 |page=102}}</ref>

Babb, always alert for exploitation opportunities, decided to emphasize the young Ginger Prince as the screen's new Shirley Temple. The added footage emphasizes her contribution with many dialogue scenes and four songs. A native of [[Atlanta, Georgia]], Prince was featured prominently in the film's advertising and promotion, which referred to her as "42 inches and 42 pounds of Southern Charm" and, in reference to a bathing scene with Prince, "soap washes off dirt, but only God can wash away your sins."<ref name="FeasterWood1999"/>

==Reception==
Reviews praised the native pageant footage but criticized the Hollywood-staged portions. ''Modern Screen'' wrote: "The Pageant itself, filmed in the dawn against a natural setting of mountains, is stirring. The cast for the most part is composed of citizens of Lawton who know their Bibles better than their profiles. It's the sincerity of their nonprofessional acting which comes across, and turns the enactment of the life of Christ (played by Millard Coody) into a moving experience."<ref>''Modern Screen'', June 1949, p. 107.</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'''s review specifically criticized Prince's performance in the film, saying the movie would have been better "had not producers seen fit to drag in a crass, commercial showcasing of a precocious moppet, apparently in an attempt to strike a broader popular market."<ref name="brog1949">{{cite magazine |author=Brog. |date=6 April 1949 |title=The Lawton Story |url=https://archive.org/stream/variety174-1949-04#page/n7 |magazine=Variety |volume=174 |number=4 |location=New York |page=8}}</ref>

Even with new, professionally filmed segments, the pageant footage had technical flaws -- [[telephone pole]]s could be seen behind the [[crucifix]]—but viewers overlooked them and focused on the documentary aspects of the film. The local performers' Oklahoma accents were so strong that the producer decided to erase the soundtrack and re-record the dialogue with professional actors. ''The Lawton Story'' was described as "the only film that had to be dubbed from [[English language|English]] to English."<ref name="Turan1977">{{cite news |last=Turan |first=Kenneth |date=1 August 1977 |title='You've Got To Tell'em To Sell'em,' Said Kroger Babb, and Did He Sell'em |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1977/08/01/youve-got-to-tellem-to-sellem-said-kroger-babb-and-did-he-sellem/cbd77098-80ac-4f2b-9730-6c1feb045092/ |newspaper=The Washington Post |page=B1 }}</ref> The original narration by DeVallon Scott was re-recorded by radio's [[Knox Manning]].

The film premiered in Lawton to a respectable crowd. It opened in a new state every two weeks. After a month of release, it was claimed that the film had been watched by more than 276,000 people, half of which were said to be school-age children and young people.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=June 18, 1949 |title=Claim More Than 276,000 Have Seen 'Lawton Story'|url=https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/26756132/boxoffice-june181949 |magazine=[[Boxoffice Pro|Boxoffice]] |location=New York |publisher=Association Publications |volume=55 |issue=7 |page=30 | issn=0006-8527}}</ref> While it failed to be a mainstream hit because of its specialized subject matter, it did succeed regionally; the film's run in [[New York City]] was so successful that the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' called it "the Miracle of [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]."<ref name="Turan1977"/>

The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album ''Dilse Maratha Hai'' by singer and composer [[Avdhoot Gupte]].

Gupte's song however is a mix of [[Hindi]] and Marathi. The music is inspired from Bryan Adam's chartbuster song ''[[Summer of '69]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2012}} The new version faced some criticism for the use of swear words considered inappropriate in the song.

'''Kalighat''' is a locality of [[South Kolkata]], in [[Kolkata district]], [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. One of the oldest neighbourhoods in [[South Kolkata]], Kalighat is also densely populated with a history of cultural intermingling with the various foreign incursions into the area over time.

==Kalika Temple==
[[File:Kalighat temple with bazzar.JPG|thumb|The Kalighat Temple complex]]
[[File:Kalighat1.jpg|right|thumb|upright|[[Kali]] idol at the [[Kalighat Kali Temple]]]]
Kalighat temple has references in 15th century texts. The original temple was a small hut. The present temple was built by the [[Sabarna Roy Choudhury]] family of Barisha in 1809. They offered 595 bighas of land to the Temple deity so that worship and service could be continued smoothly. It is believed by some scholars that the name [[Calcutta]] was derived from Kalighat. Historically, traders halted at Kalighat to pay patronage to the goddess. The temple was initially on the banks of [[Hooghly River|Hooghly]]. The river over a period of time has moved away from the temple. The temple is now on the banks of a small canal called Adi Ganga, connecting to Hooghly. The present Dakshina Kali idol of touchstone was created in 1570 CE by two saints - Brahmananda Giri and Atmaram Giri based on the idol of Mata Bhuvaneshwari, the Kuladevi of [[Sabarna Roy Choudhury]] family. It was Padmabati Devi, the mother of [[Laksmikanta Roy Choudhury]] who discovered the [[fossils]] of Sati's finger in a lake called [[Kalikunda]]. This made Kalighat as one of the 51 Shakta pithas.<ref name = "Katha">''Bangiya Sabarna Katha Kalishetra Kalikatah'' by Bhabani Roy Choudhury, Manna Publication. {{ISBN|81-87648-36-8}}</ref>

== Shyam Rai Temple ==
In 1843, [[Babu (title)|Babu]] Uday Narayan Mondal, a scion of the [[Bawali Raj|Bawali Raj family]], commissioned the Shyam Rai Temple, in the [[Kalighat Temple|Kalighat Temple complex]] itself. It stands as the sole [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavite]] temple dedicated to [[Radha Krishna]] in Kalighat. Later, Madan Koley of Saha Nagar, and a distant relative of the family later constructed the Dol Mancha of the Temple in 1858.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Bengal, Past & Present: Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XQNDAAAAYAAJ&q=shyam+rai+temple+kalighat|publisher=The Society|date=1968|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Gangopadhyay |first=Sri Bipul Kumar |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JpigEAAAQBAJ |title=অলৌকিক লীলায় শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ, মা সারদা, স্বামীজী (প্রথম খন্ড) |date=2005-10-03 |publisher=Jaytara Publishers |pages=222 |language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Cakrabartī |first=Sunīla |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I18tAAAAMAAJ |title=Lokāẏata Bāṃlā |date=1969 |publisher=Kalyāṇī Prakāśana |pages=38 |language=bn}}</ref>

==Panchannagram and Kali-Kshetra==
The [[East India Company]] obtained from the [[Mughal emperors|Mughal emperor]] [[Farrukhsiyar]], in 1717, the right to rent from 38 villages surrounding their settlement. Of these 5 lay across the [[Hooghly River|Hooghly]] in what is now Howrah district. The remaining 33 villages were on the Calcutta side. After the fall of [[Siraj-ud-daulah]], the last independent [[Nawab of Bengal]], it purchased these villages in 1758 from [[Mir Jafar]], and reorganised them. These villages were known en-bloc as ''[[Dihi Panchannagram]]'' and Kalighat was one of them. It was considered to be a suburb beyond the limits of the [[Maratha Ditch]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/19/1916_PART_A_DCHB_KOLKATA.pdf |title = District Census Handbook Kolkata, Census of India 2011, Series 20, Part XII A |work = Pages 6-10: The History | publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal| access-date = 20 February 2018}}</ref><ref>Cotton, H.E.A., ''Calcutta Old and New'', first published 1909/reprint 1980, pages 103-4 and 221, General Printers and Publishers Pvt.

Kalighat was originally called Kali-Kshetra, which is widely accepted as the origin for the word Kalikata, and in turn Calcutta or Kolkata.

==The Kalighat Hoard==
Some time in 1783, a fisherman found a treasure hoard of more than 200 Gold Coins somewhere near the now defunct Strand on the Adi Ganga, near Kalighat. Not knowing what to do with it, he sold it off to Raja [[Nabakrishna Deb]], Zamindar of [[Shobhabazar]].

Seeing the coins as an opportunity of gaining confidence with the then [[Governor General of India]], [[Warren Hastings]], Nabakrishna Deb gifted him with the coins.

Keeping a few with him, Warren Hastings sent 172 coins from the horde to London, to the [[East India Company]].

These coins belonged to the Gupta Kings, testaments to India's glorious past, but since no one knew of the Guptas back then (It would not be before another half a century or so that Alexander Cunningham would find out about the glorious age of the [[Guptas]]), these coins held little value to the people involved.

However, for all practical purposes, the hoard was thought to be lost, as the Company directors sent most of the coins to the melting pot, and some to a few collectors. When Hastings returned to London, he found only 24 of them in the collection of the British Museum. This astonished him beyond measures. He thought he had made a magnificent contribution to the Court of Directors — a hoard of [[Persian Darics]] (since no one knew of the Guptas back then).

In 1825, Marsden prepared the ''Nusmiamata Orientalia'', where for the first time they were mentioned as Gupta coins.

The coins had been placed in a brass pot that remained submerged in water for a long time, hence the coins developed an underwater patina of clayish black, owing to the reaction of the gold and the alloys in the coin with the alluvium.

The hoard contained the [[Archer Type]] coins from the reign of [[Chandragupta II]] who had probably annexed Bengal to his Empire, and [[Kumaragupta I]] with an abundance in coins from the reign of [[Vishnugupta (Gupta Empire)|Vishnugupta]] and [[Narasimhagupta]], besides a few from the times of [[Shashanka]], a later but important Ruler of [[Gauda Kingdom|Gauda]].

This is the largest hoard of Gupta coins ever found in the history of India.

==The Kalighat Temple as a Shakti pitha==
{{main|Daksha Yaga|Shakti pithas}}
[[File:Dakshayani.jpg|thumb|Shiva carrying the corpse of [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]] Devi]]
The Temple at Kalighat is revered as an important [[Shakta pithas|Shakta pitha]], by the [[Shaktism]] sect of Hinduism. ''The mythology of [[Daksha yajna]] and Sati's self immolation'' is the story behind the origin of Shakti Peethas.

==Kalighat painting==
{{Main|Kalighat painting}}

[[File:The demon ravana fighting with the ape hanuman, 1880, kalighat school.jpg|thumb|upright|Ravana and Hanuman, Kalighat school of painting, c1880]]
Kalighat painting, or ''pata'' (originally pronounced 'pot' in Bengali) is a style of [[Indian painting]] derives its name from the place. It is characterised by generously curving figures of both men and women and an earthy satirical style. It developed during the nineteenth century in response to the sudden prosperity brought to Calcutta by the East India Company trade, whereby many houses including that of 'Prince' [[Dwarkanath Tagore]], grandfather of [[Rabindranath Tagore]] became incredibly wealthy. Many of these [[nouveau riche]] families came from not particular exalted [[caste]] backgrounds, so the orthodox tended to frown on them and their often very tasteless [[conspicuous consumption]]. To the common people the [[Babu (title)|babu]]s, as they were called, were equally objects of fun and sources of income. Thus the 'babu culture' portrayed in the Kalighat patas often shows inversions of the social order (wives beating husbands or leading them about in the guise of pet goats or dogs, maidservants wearing shoes, sahibs in undignified postures, domestic contretemps, and the like.) They also showed European innovations (babus wearing European clothes, smoking pipes, reading at desks, etc.). The object of this is only partly satirical; it also expresses the wonder that ordinary Bengalis felt on exposure to these new and curious ways and objects.

Kalighat pata pictures are highly stylised, do not use perspective, are usually pen and ink line drawings filled in with flat bright colours and normally use paper as a substrate, though some may be found with cloth backing or on cloth. The artists were rarely educated, and usually came from a lineage of artisans. Kalighat patas are still made today although genuine work is hard to come by. The art form is urban and largely secular: although gods and goddesses are often depicted, they appear in much the same de-romanticised way as the humans do. By contrast, the Orissa tradition of pata-painting, centering on Puri, is consciously devotional. Kalighat pata has been credited with influencing the [[Bengal School]] of art associated with [[Jamini Roy]].

==Kalighat in fiction==
[[Amitav Ghosh]]'s ''[[The Calcutta Chromosome]]'' is partly set in Kalighat and gives a wonderfully atmospheric depiction of the region as well as the city itself.

Kalighat also plays a prominent role in ''[[Song of Kali]]'' by [[Dan Simmons]] and in the short story "[[Calcutta, Lord of Nerves]]" by [[Poppy Z. Brite]].
It also features in the movie ''[[Kahaani]]'' starring [[Vidya Balan]] and directed by [[Sujoy Ghosh]].

In [https://www.lingq.com/en/learn-english-online/courses/295284/chapter-6-p2-1666487/ Chapter 6] of Neil Gaiman's 2001 contemporary fantasy ''[[American Gods]]'', Kalighat is directly referenced by the eponymous deity:

<blockquote>“So I am a child, am I?” She wagged a finger at him. “I was old in Kalighat before you were dreamed of, you foolish man. I am a child? Then I am a child, for there is nothing in your foolish talk to see.”
Again, a moment of double-vision: Shadow saw the old woman, her dark face pinched with age and disapproval, but behind her he saw something huge, a naked woman with skin as black as a new leather jacket, and lips and tongue the bright red of arterial blood. Around her neck were skulls, and her many hands held knives, and swords, and severed heads.</blockquote>

==Police district==
Kalighat police station is part of the [[Divisions of Kolkata Police|South division]] of [[Kolkata Police]].

*General Maintenance related disputes
*Other Miscellaneous cases which are civil disputes, criminal compoundable cases and matrimonial disputes.

However, any legal issue which is not compoundable as per the Indian Legal Systems cannot be taken up in the Lok Adalat.

As the members are presiding Lok Adalat as statutory conciliators and not in judicial capacity they can only persuade the parties to come to a settlement. Sometimes counselling sessions are also held between opposing parties.
The main condition of the Lok Adalat is that both parties in dispute agree for settlement and if they are unable to do so, it is referred to the Permanent Lok Adalat for deciding the case provided the case is not related to compoundable offence.

Manipur Lok Adalat, as per Supreme Court judgement, is formed to arrive at a compromise or solution between parties in dispute and hence does not have jurisdiction to go into merits of complaint.

The '''2021–22 I-League''' (also known as '''Hero I-League''' for sponsorship reasons) was the 15th season of [[I-League]], last as the '''top tier''' of [[Indian football league system]], since its establishment in 2007. All the matches were hosted in a [[bio-secure bubble]] in [[West Bengal]] due to [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]].

After the commencement of the first match-week of the league on 27 December 2021, the tournament got suspended on 29 December due to reports of numerous [[COVID-19]] cases among the players and staff.<ref>{{Cite web|title=I-League likely to be suspended for two weeks after many players test positive for Covid-19 dgtl|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/sports/football/i-league-likely-to-be-suspended-for-two-weeks-after-many-players-test-positive-for-covid-19-dgtl/cid/1321007|access-date=2021-12-29|website=anandabazar.com|publisher=[[Anandabazar Patrika]]|language=bn|archive-date=29 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211229073754/https://www.anandabazar.com/sports/football/i-league-likely-to-be-suspended-for-two-weeks-after-many-players-test-positive-for-covid-19-dgtl/cid/1321007|url-status=live}}</ref> [[All India Football Federation]] released new dates on 1 February 2022, with a revised schedule of the league resuming from 3 March.

==Format==
Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the tournament's format was shortened last season, and the same format is being followed. All teams will face each other once in the first leg of the league, then they will be divided into two different groups. According to points table from first leg, top seven teams will face each other once again in the [[2021-22 I-League#Championship|Championship stage]], where the team with most points (cumulative points collected from all seventeen matches) will be declared the winner of the league and qualify for the [[Indian club qualifiers for 2023–24 AFC competitions|Playoffs for 2023–24 AFC Cup group stage]]. The other six teams will play against each other in a [[2021-22 I-League#Relegation|Relegation stage]] where the team with the lowest points (cumulative points collected from all sixteen matches) will be relegated to 2nd Division League.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/article/hero-i-league-2020-21-to-start-on-january-9|title=Hero I-League 2020-21 to start on January 9 with a new shorter format|date=7 November 2020|website=the-aiff.com|language=en|access-date=7 November 2020|archive-date=7 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107064453/https://www.the-aiff.com/article/hero-i-league-2020-21-to-start-on-january-9|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Early life ==
Kamal Singh Saroha obtained a degree in [[civil engineering]] in the year of 2018. Like many, he had a craze for the sport of [[association football|football]]. He formed a team inside his college, JECRC (Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre), which did not have its own football team.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2021-10-28 |title=Rajasthan United: An unbelievable journey from a college team to qualifying for I-League |url=https://footballexpress.in/rajasthan-united-an-unbelievable-journey-from-a-college-team-to-qualifying-for-i-league/ |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=Football Express India |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519070855/https://footballexpress.in/rajasthan-united-an-unbelievable-journey-from-a-college-team-to-qualifying-for-i-league/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After graduation, Kamal fell prey to the corporate world as he took up a job in [[Gurgaon]]. But, his heart was always with football. So, to follow his passion he went back to [[Jaipur]] to open a sporting apparel company.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Saha |first=Rajdeep |date=2022-09-05 |title='Need to cancel return tickets', says Rajasthan United owner after quarter-final qualification |url=https://thebridge.in/football/we-had-booked-return-tickets-5th-september-says-rajasthan-united-owner-kamal-saroha-35165 |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=thebridge.in |language=en |archive-date=2023-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519070906/https://thebridge.in/football/we-had-booked-return-tickets-5th-september-says-rajasthan-united-owner-kamal-saroha-35165 |url-status=live }}</ref>

AU Rajasthan FC, now [[Rajasthan Perfect FC]], one of their clients, were hopeful of participating in the [[I-League 2|I League 2nd Division]]. In 2018, an AU Rajasthan representative approached Saroha, requesting him to put out a team in the state league in the upcoming year as there were shortage of team. Later on, Saroha fielded the team JECRC FC (Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre FC).<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2021-10-28 |title=Rajasthan United: An unbelievable journey from a college team to qualifying for I-League |url=https://footballexpress.in/rajasthan-united-an-unbelievable-journey-from-a-college-team-to-qualifying-for-i-league/ |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=Football Express India |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519070855/https://footballexpress.in/rajasthan-united-an-unbelievable-journey-from-a-college-team-to-qualifying-for-i-league/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-10-26 |title=Engineer builds a football club: Rajasthan United's rise from being a college team to an I-league side |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/from-footballs-backwater-rajasthan-a-club-started-by-an-engineer-makes-it-to-i-league-7592125/ |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=The Indian Express |language=en |archive-date=2023-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519071622/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/from-footballs-backwater-rajasthan-a-club-started-by-an-engineer-makes-it-to-i-league-7592125/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the [[2018 Punjab provincial election|2018 election]], 11 of these seats were won by Independents, 8 were won by candidates on the PTI-ticket, and 1 by a PML(N) candidate; the 11 independents all subsequently joined the PTI and the PML(N) seat was won by the PTI in a December 2018 by-election. The by-elections were triggered after these 20 PTI MPAs voted in favor of the opposition candidate belonging to the PML(N), [[Hamza Shahbaz]], to become the [[Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan)|Chief Minister of Punjab]], which, according to the [[Supreme Court of Pakistan|Supreme Court]] and the [[Election Commission of Pakistan]], violated Article 63-A of the [[Constitution of Pakistan]] which concerns party defections.

== Background ==
{{Main|Constitutional crisis in Punjab, Pakistan (2022)}}

After the [[2018 Punjab provincial election|2018 Provincial Elections]], [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) won 159 seats and [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)]] (PML(N)) won 164 seats. Soon after, 25 out of 30 [[Independent politician|Independents]] joined PTI, but it was still 2 seats short of a majority of 186. [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)]] (PML(Q)) with 10 seats formed alliance with PTI.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-07-31 |title=PML-Q decides to back PTI in Punjab |url=https://www.globalvillagespace.com/pml-q-decides-to-back-pti-in-punjab/ |access-date=2022-07-01 |website=Global Village Space |language=en-GB}}</ref> PTI was able to form government in [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]].

During a political crisis in Pakistan after the successful [[No-confidence motion against Imran Khan|no-confidence motion]] against Prime Minister [[Imran Khan]], another motion of no confidence was filed against [[Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan)|Chief Minister]] [[Usman Buzdar]], as well as against [[Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi]] and [[Dost Muhammad Mazari]], the [[Speaker of the Provincial Assembly of Punjab|Speaker]] and Deputy Speaker of the Provincial Assembly, respectively. Buzdar resigned before a vote on the motion of no confidence could be held and as a consequence, an election for a new Chief Minister was scheduled on 16 April between PML(N)'s [[Hamza Shahbaz]], the joint candidate of the [[Pakistan Democratic Movement]], and PML(Q)'s Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, the joint candidate of his party and PTI.

The election for Chief Minister took place on 22 July 2022 among members of the [[Provincial Assembly of the Punjab|Provincial Assembly]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Malik |first=Hasnaat |last2=Yasif |first2=Rana |date=2022-07-01 |title=SC orders Punjab CM re-election on July 22 |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/2364159/sc-orders-punjab-cm-re-election-on-july-22 |access-date=2022-07-17 |website=The Express Tribune |language=en}}</ref> Controversially, the votes of ten PML(Q) MPAs were rejected by Deputy Speaker [[Dost Muhammad Mazari]], citing an interpretation of Article 63A of the Constitution and a letter from the leader [[Shujaat Hussain]] stating he had "issued directions to all my provincial members to cast their votes in favour of Muhammad Hamza Shahbaz Sharif". This resulted in a majority of valid votes, 179, for Hamza Shahbaz to Pervaiz Elahi's 176. [https://na.gov.pk/uploads/documents/1333523681_951.pdf Article 63A states]:

{{Blockquote|text=63A.
(1) If a member of a Parliamentary Party composed of a single political party in a House—
(a) resigns from membership of his political party or joins
another Parliamentary party; or
(b) votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any
direction issued by the Parliamentary Party to which he
belongs, in relation to—
(i) election of the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister; or
(ii) a vote of confidence or a vote of no-confidence; or
(iii) a Money Bill or a Constitution (Amendment) Bill;
he may be declared in writing by the Party Head to have defected from the
political party, and the Party Head may forward a copy of the declaration
to the Presiding Officer and the Chief Election Commissioner and shall
similarly forward a copy thereof to the member concerned :
Provided that before making the declaration, the Party Head shall
provide such member with an opportunity to show cause as to why such
declaration may not be made against him.

''Explanation''―Party Head means any person, by whatever name
called, declared as such by the Party.

(2) A member of a House shall be deemed to be a member of a Parliamentary Party if he, having been elected as a candidate or nominee of a political party which constitutes the Parliamentary Party in the House or, having been elected otherwise than as a candidate or nominee of a political party, has become a member of such Parliamentary Party after such election by means of a declaration in writing.}}

The PTI filed a petition with the [[Supreme Court of Pakistan]], stating that as PML(Q) leader Hussain was not a member of the Punjab Assembly, he did not have the authority to make the decision to back Shahbaz under section 2 of the constitutional article cited, as only the Parliamentary Party has the authority to decide which candidate its members are to vote for.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-22 |title=Elahi wins, but Hamza gets the prize |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/2367253/elahi-wins-election-but-hamza-gets-punjab-cm-slot |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=The Express Tribune |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hayat |first=Muhammad Omer |last2=Farooq |first2=Umar |date=2022-07-22 |title=Elahi suffers shock defeat as Hamza retains Punjab CM position after deputy speaker's contentious ruling |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1700857 |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=Dawn |language=en}}</ref> Additionally, under a 17 May Supreme Court ruling, although defecting lawmakers' votes will not be counted for purposes of voting in Article 63A, section 1, subsection b,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhatti |first=Haseeb |date=2022-05-17 |title=Article 63-A: SC decides defecting lawmakers' votes will not be counted |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1690120 |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref> none of the 10 PML(Q) members had been deemed to have defected, as that would have required a letter stating as such from the leader, which was Shujaat Hussain.
