== Plot ==
Sixteen-year-old Seher Baig has a secret. In Husainpur, far from her father's crushing orthodoxy and cruelty, she studies in secret under her mother Kauser's guidance, nurturing a dream her father would never allow: to become a doctor.

But when she's forced to move to Lucknow and live under his roof, that fragile dream begins to slip through her fingers. And then her father makes a decision that tightens the bars: her engagement to Mahid Niyazi, the grandson of the city's revered ''mufti'' and a man whose name alone commands fear and respect. Mahid is principled, they say. Fair. Conservative. But he is also rigid, sharp-tongued, and morally unbending with a temper that keeps even his family at arm's length.

Now Seher finds herself bound to a man she never chose, in a household that watches her every move, with a father who sees her ambition as defiance. Society watches too. Always watching, always judging.

Against all of it, Seher holds on to her dream. But in a world that has already decided who she should be, how far can one girl go to become who she is meant to be?

[http://www.stpeterschurchpta.com St. Peter’s Malankara Catholic Church] in the [[episcopal see]] of [[Pathanamthitta]] serves as the [[cathedral]] church.<ref name="stpeterschurch">{{cite web|url=http://www.stpeterschurchpta.com|title=St. Peter's Malankara Catholic Church, Pathanamthitta}}</ref> The Eparchy of Pathanamthitta is a [[suffragan diocese|suffragan eparchy]] in the [[ecclesiastical province]] of the [[metropolis (religious jurisdiction)|metropolitan]] [[Syro-Malankara Catholic Major Archeparchy of Trivandrum|Archeparchy of Trivandrum]].

== History ==
The Syro-Malankara Catholics are one of the oldest [[Saint Thomas Christians]] centered in Kerala, India. In the 16th century, the [[Catholic Church|Catholics]] of the [[Latin Church]] came in contact with the Indian Christians through the [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] [[merchants]] and [[missionaries]]. But the relationship was fragile and several conflicts evolved among them, which later resulted in the [[Coonan Cross Oath]]. The majority of them restored ecclesial relationship with the Portuguese ''[[padroado]]'' hierarchy through the [[Syro-Malabar Catholic Church]], while others formed themselves into an independent ecclesial community as the [[Malankara Church]] and gradually established a relationship with the [[Church of Antioch|Church of the Antioch]]. Later, on 20 September 1930, a group headed by [[Geevarghese Mar Ivanios|Geevarghese Ivanios]] lead the reunion movement and returned to the Catholic Church. The [[Metropolitan bishop|Metropolitan]] [[Syro-Malankara Catholic Major Archeparchy of Trivandrum|Eparchy of Trivandrum]] was inaugurated on 11 May 1933 and [[Geevarghese Mar Ivanios|Geevarghese Ivanios]] was installed as its first [[Metropolitan bishop|Metropolitan]]. To cope up with the tremendous growth of the church the [[Syro-Malankara Catholic Major Archeparchy of Trivandrum|Major Archeparchy of Trivandrum]] was ramified and a new Eparchy of Pathanamthitta was formed.<ref name="malankaracatholicchurch">{{cite web|url=http://pathanamthittadiocese.com/history.html|title=The History of the Eparchy of Pathanamthitta}}</ref>

== Statistics ==
{{As of|2021}}, there are 100 parishes in the Diocese and the number of priests incardinated is 120. The diocese has about 80 seminarians pursuing different grades in their priestly formation.The diocese possesses 10,000 families of Catholic faithful in its territory. A bigger part of the malankara global diaspora comes from this diocese. The diocesan area is basically hilly in nature including a considerable number of tribal colonies. The [[Syro-Malankara Catholic Exarchate in the United States|Exarcate of the United States]] got its first bishop [[Thomas Naickamparampil|Thomas Eusebius]] from the [[Sacred Heart Malankara Catholic Church, Mylapra|Sacred Heart Malankara Catholic Church]] in [[Mylapra]] the Eparch of Pathanamthitta.<ref name="shchurch">{{cite web|url=http://shchurchmylapra.com|title=Sacred Heart Malankara Catholic Church, Mylapra}}</ref>

== Plot ==
{{Long plot|date=September 2024}}
The story starts with a narration of Paris and its symbolism of love. Marie Elise is the narrator who says you can be in love but never find love or a lover here in Paris. A Parisian reads a script of a play as follows: Ishkq is the name of a girl who was born in Paris (Preity Zinta) and doesn't believe in deep love. All she wants is no commitments in the relationship and wants to be free. She is a photographer and playwright. Akash Kapoor, Cash with an A (Rhehan Malliek), and his friend Karan, who comes to see him off, are seen running on the railway station because they might miss the last train to Paris when the narrator says that Akash doesn't know that he will regret it if he doesn't leave this train. Karan invites Akash to his wedding but Akash is not sure about going. Akash enters the train and meets a girl who understands Hindi. The girl is Ishkq. They flirt around and have wine on the train to Paris. Ishkq says that she was roaming in Rome for the weekend because she loves being served by men and Italian waiters, to be specific, and guesses if Akash is Gujarati. Akash introduces and says he is from Delhi, Funjabi (Punjabi), and moved to London a year ago. He missed his flight to London, so catching this train to Paris and next morning to London.

While leaving, Akash asks for spending time with him, but Ishkq denies, but she later agrees since he is also not interested in commitment and will never meet again or ask for an address, number, or email ID. Akash gives her a rose, and Ishkq asks him to meet at 7:55 pm sharp at the Eiffel Tower entrance. Ishkq surprises Akash by showing him the Eiffel Tower filled with lights, and she narrates how she met an Italian waiter and fell in love at first sight in Rome, but he is weak and started crying. She used to go every morning to his cafe for breakfast. When they roam around, they see couple kissing but he never kisses her, she hints that after hot kisses cold gelato is good. He gets her gelato but charges her 4 euros. Akash teases her that even her love will be charged by this Italian waiter and her love for being served by men. Seems that he is an agent working at London and lives on commission like the hero of movie Jery Mcquire played by Tom Cruise. Akash falls in love with her eyes and says anyone will forget if they see her eyes filled with love but again teases her last bf – Italian waiter. It was love in air or Paris's magic, both wanted the night to be beautiful. Chunky Pandey stops them running around, says he has everything like antiques in the world and gives him a fun dice and they go to disc have drinks and dance.

At midnight, they walk on streets and Ishkq says about her school time boyfriend and say pickup lines to each other. They also share evil break up lines and go for dinner where a dance girl approached Akash and asks them to visit next day. But she seems to read their mind and tells Ishkq will get married in few months but Ishkq never believes and leaves the restaurant but the physic lady says she will find her father soon. They throw dice and movie comes up and it's too late but they plan to make their own and enact few scenes. They go to park and Akash confesses that he never fell in love or shed a tear for anyone. Ishkq reveals that he had a snake charmer type boyfriend and she cried over him, because he said that she will never be happy and will be sad and lonely. Akash cried only when his parent divorced but his parents were happy that his tears were never seen. Ishkq says she fears loneliness and she will be left alone and not able to make others happy. Akash says the world is scared about this. Their loneliness spoke volumes and made them friends. It was next morning, they had coffee and Ishkq said she didn't like goodbye so asks Akash to leave first but asks him to wait for another surprise. They both agree they had the best night ever. Akash waits till he gets late and leaves. Next moment Ishkq arrives in the café with a gift but since he left she also leaves thinking they will never meet. There was an unconnected and unknown bonding between the two which both didn't realize. But could they forget one evening in Paris?

The foreigner has read the first part of the play and leaves the dressing room but thinks the story's starting would be a part of someone's life. The foreigner is none other than Ishkq's mother, Marie Elise. Assistant says Deborah is here and her mother says she is not yet finished with the script. Both their lives are back to normal and they forget that beautiful night, time didn't stop. Akash used to smile thinking about it sometimes. Akash gets a late-night message for Karan's wedding at Paris and says to Susan that Karan is irritating since Akash doesn't wants to come for Karan's wedding as he doesn't believe in marriage, Susan explains then Akash should not expect Karan to speak for rest of life. Akash searches for Ishkq and goes in Paris. There they go together to Karan wedding and Akash realized his love for Ishkq and takes her all around and she confesses that the beautiful portrait of her mom is drawn by her dad the amazing artists according to Akash. He proposes her but she refuses him saying he is not her saviour from loneliness and insecurity. They part ways never to meet each other. Ishkq’ s mom realizes her feelings and calls Akash to her home where Akash tells that her daughter is afraid of any serious relationship because of the split between her parents and feels insecure. Soon her mother realized and tells her that her parents Ranveer and Marie decided to part happily because of their careers and all these years Ishkq misunderstood that her dad left her. Akash leaves her a card with apologies and that he will leave for London on next morning 8 am train and will taste the laksa from the station restaurants. Ishkq is seen running towards him and confessing her love to him and that if he leaves she will be alone again. He proposes to her again and hug and cry. Finally, the play which Marie Elise was directing, which was Ishkq and Akash's love story, gets over. They fly to India for their Funjabi wedding, and there Ishkq meets her father, Ranveer, recollecting her childhood days as well.

==Life imprisonment and acquittal==
On 28 November 2006, Soren was found guilty in a twelve-year-old case involving the kidnapping and murder of his former personal secretary Shashinath Jha. It was claimed that Jha was abducted from the [[Dhaula Kuan]] area in [[Delhi]] on 22 May 1994 and taken to Piska Nagari near [[Ranchi]] where he was killed. The CBI chargesheet stated that Jha's knowledge of the reported deal between the Congress and the JMM to save the [[P. V. Narasimha Rao|Narasimha Rao]] government during the July 1993 [[no-confidence motion]] and an act of sodomy was the motive behind the murder. The charge-sheet asserted that: "Jha was aware of the illegal transactions and also expected and demanded a substantial share out of this amount from Soren."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://news.indlaw.com/527C7CE8127F523ABA578A792E73B70B | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927122055/http://news.indlaw.com/527C7CE8127F523ABA578A792E73B70B | archive-date=27 September 2007 | title=Legal Solutions }}</ref>

Soren resigned from his post of [[Union Minister]] for Coal after [[Prime Minister]] [[Manmohan Singh]] demanded that he should do so in the wake of the verdict. This is the first case of a Union Minister of the Government of India being found guilty of involvement in a murder. On 5 December 2006, Shibu Soren was sentenced to life imprisonment. A Delhi court rejected his bail plea, stating: 'We cannot overlook the fact that the appellant (Soren) has been convicted after a detailed and elaborate trial only in November 2006 and sentenced in December 2006.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shibu Soren Resigns|date=24 July 2004|access-date=5 August 2025|url=https://www.arabnews.com/node/252888}}</ref>

'''Mudh-Nyoma Air Force Station''' (formerly, '''Nyoma Advanced Landing Ground''') is an [[Indian Air Force]] base located near [[Nyoma]] in the [[Leh district]] of Ladakh, India.

== History ==
The Nyoma airfield was one of the airfields originally inaugurated during [[1962 India-China War]]. However, the Nyoma airstrip remained unused until April 2009 when it was being prepared to serve as an [[advanced landing ground]] (ALG) to support [[fixed-wing aircraft]] operations.<ref name="reopened2">{{Cite news |date=2009-04-06 |title=New IAF airfield to be reopened in east Ladakh |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/PoliticsNation/New-IAF-airfield-to-be-reopened-in-east-Ladakh/articleshow/4365705.cms |access-date=2025-11-14 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref> It entered operational service on 18 September 2009 when the IAF landed an [[Antonov An-32]] transport aircraft there. The aircraft was flown by [[Suryakant Chintaman Chafekar|SC Chafekar]], a then [[Group captain (India)|Group Captain]]-ranked officer, and carrying the then commanding officers of [[Western Air Command (India)|Western Air Command]] and [[Northern Command (India)|Northern Command]] of the Army, [[NAK Browne]] and [[Prabodh Chandra Bhardwaj|P C Bhardwarj]], respectively. This was the third ALG to be opened in [[Ladakh]] in two years, including the one at [[Daulat Beg Oldi]] and [[Fukche Advanced Landing Ground|Fukche]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Today |first=Headlines |date=2009-09-18 |title=IAF plane lands at Ladakh's Nyoma airfield |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/iaf-plane-lands-at-ladakhs-nyoma-airfield-56793-2009-09-17 |access-date=2025-11-14 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref> The airbase is only {{Convert|23|km|abbr=on}} away from the [[Line of Actual Control]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2009-09-18 |title=IAF activates Nyoma airfield close to China border |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/latest-news/iaf-activates-nyoma-airfield-close-to-china-border/ |access-date=2025-11-14 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news |last=Sharma |first=Vrinda |date=2009-09-18 |title=Joint effort by forces to operate in Leh-Ladakh |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/Joint-effort-by-forces-to-operate-in-Leh-Ladakh/article16882239.ece |access-date=2025-11-14 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

In the last week of December 2022, the [[Border Roads Organisation]] (BRO) invited bids to upgrade the airfield to a full-fledged air base to support [[fighter aircraft]] and minor maintenance operations. The project budget was estimated at {{INRConvert|214|c|lk=on|year=2022}}. The establishment is spread across 1,235 acre land and located at an altitude of {{convert|13700|ft|m}}. The base is equipped with an over {{convert|2.7|km|ft|abbr=on}} along with allied military infrastructure.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2023-01-05 |title=To counter China, Nyoma airfield in Ladakh to be full-fledged base in 2 years |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/to-counter-china-nyoma-airfield-in-ladakh-to-be-full-fledged-base-in-2-yrs-467406/ |access-date=2025-11-14 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}</ref>

The project commenced in the third week of August 2023.

The foundation stone was laid by the [[Minister of Defence (India)|Minister of Defence]], [[Rajnath Singh]], in September 2023.

By October 2024, 95% of the work for Runway at the airbase is complete. The runway was ready for emergency use by all aircraft including fighter aircraft. The base would be formally commissioned in September 2025 after allied infrastructure like hangars, an air traffic control building, and hard-standing areas are completed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Despatch |first=Kashmir |date=2024-10-30 |title=World's Highest Fighter Airfield comes up in Ladakh |url=https://kashmirdespatch.com/worlds-highest-fighter-airfield-comes-up-in-ladakh/ |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=Kashmir Despatch |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Jamshedpur Urban Agglomeration===
With its recognition as an industrial town as early as the 1911 census, Jamshedpur was set on the road of steady population growth, as large number of emigrants flocked in for work opportunities. While in the earlier decades the central nucleus grew, in the later decades towns around Jamshedpur grew rapidly. In 2011, Jamshedpur Urban Agglomeration included 13 urban centres, with a total population of 1.3 million people. However, in more recent years, Jamshedpur UA "has lacked the growth and development observed around other similar industrial towns in western and southern India."<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ahgis/files/3m/5-3.pdf |title = Growth of Industrial Cities in India: A Case Study of Jamshedpur | work= Amaresh Dubey|publisher= The Third Conference: GIS-based Global History from Asian Perspectives, 5 June 2015 | access-date = 25 December 2021}}</ref>

Chettinad mansions

2025-10-13T04:05:27Z

Shayarix: stub

{{Short description|Buildings in Tamil Nadu, India}}

The '''Chettinad mansions''' are a collection of over 10,000 lavish homes of the Nattukottai Chettiar and Vallam Velallar community in the region of [[Chettinad]] in [[South India]].<ref name=":2" /> These mansions were built with materials from all across the globe to signify the community's wealth as merchants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<ref name=":4" /> The mansions blended global features with traditional Tamil architecture to form homes for large joint families.<ref name=":3" /> Since [[World War II]], conservation efforts have been ongoing to maintain these homes and draw in tourists from across the globe.<ref name=":2" /> However, preserving the mansions has been difficult due to legal challenges and cost barriers.<ref name=":5" /> The Chettiar community has looked to upkeep their built heritage by leasing the houses to Indian hotel chains and exploring other solutions.<ref name=":4" />

== History of creation ==
[[File:India Tamil Nadu Kanadukathan Raja Palace.JPG|thumb|A well-known Chettinad mansion - the Kanadukathan Raja Palace]]The region of [[Chettinad]] in the south Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]] is the home of the Nattukottai Chettiar community, a prosperous merchant community known for trading precious stones in Southeast Asia. As traders, Chettiars shipped spices, rice, and gems to countries like Malaysia, Burma, and Vietnam and also served as bankers to kings and the [[British Raj]] for centuries.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Pasley |first=James |title=Inside India's 15,000 extravagant, abandoned mansions, built by spice and gem tycoons and left to decay |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-15000-abandoned-lavish-mansions-built-by-tycoons-in-india-2023-4 |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Business Insider |language=en-US}}</ref> They rose to the peak of their power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=India's 10,000 forgotten mansions |url=https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20230404-indias-10000-forgotten-mansions |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=www.bbc.com}}</ref> As a major Hindu banking community in South India, the Chettiar community gained a vast influence and richness that allowed them to build a dense network of 96 villages within the region; however, only 73 villages remain today.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Centre |first=UNESCO World Heritage |title=Chettinad, Village Clusters of the Tamil Merchants |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5920/ |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |language=en}}</ref>
Between 1850 and the end of World War II, the Nattukottai Chettiar community built over 10,000 lavish mansions in the region with many spanning tens of thousands of square feet.<ref name=":1" /> The houses were built for joint families to live together as many houses had 70-80 residents at one time.<ref name=":2" /> On average, every mansion has more than 50 rooms and three to four courtyards. Most span more than one acre, often covering an entire street. Given the scale, many locals refer to the houses as ''periya veedus'' or “big houses<nowiki>''</nowiki>.<ref name=":1" /> The mansions were conceived to perform the different rituals and celebrations that occur during the course of life from birth to death such as marriage and birthday events.<ref name=":3" />

== Architecture and materials ==
[[File:Chettinad mansion colors.jpg|thumb|Example of stained glass windows and interior design of mansions]]

When building these mansions, Chettiars were inspired by European architecture and commissioned local architects to work with raw materials from all over the world. Consequently, aspects like marble floors, stained glass windows, and gothic facades became a common feature in every house.<ref name=":2" /> These elements were blended with components of vernacular Tamil architecture as well. Examples of this traditional design can be seen in the open courtyards, raised verandas, carved wooden frames, and stucco depictions of Hindu deities.<ref name=":2" />

The Chettiar community also had a strong vision of land-use planning which connected the different urban to landscape elements, particularly for rainwater harvesting and storage systems. The slopes of the roofs allowed rainwater to be collected during monsoon season to fill up a village’s wells and common ponds.<ref name=":3" /> Courtyards were built on a longitudinal axis and were made of thick walls of brick, lime plasters, terracotta roofing, and marble floors to limit the effects of the semi-arid, hot climate.<ref name=":3" />

There are countless examples of the materials that Chettiars sourced from all over the world. Materials included: teak wood from Burma, satinwood from Ceylon, marble from Italy and Belgium, tiles from Bombay, Japan, Germany, France, and England, and chandeliers from Belgium, France, and Italy.<ref name=":3" /> Given the quality of these items, Chettiars brought in craftsmen from all over India to help with woodcarving, frescoes, egg-plastering, and other complex projects.<ref name=":3" />[[File:Chettinad houses.jpg|thumb|A traditional center courtyard]]The main courtyard of any of the mansions is considered the center part of the house where the rituals take place.

== Preservation over time ==
When World War II began in 1939, overseas trading took a hit that led to a decline in wealth for many Chettiars.<ref name=":2" /> The community faced financial pressures from the British, Japanese, and other countries in key trading zones like Burma.<ref name=":4" /> With their economic system in shards, most Chettiars left their villages to seek employment outside of Chettinad in Chennai, Mumbai, Singapore, and other places across the globe.<ref name=":4" /> This left many of their mansions abandoned.<ref name=":2" />

Conservation efforts since the end of World War II have been incredibly difficult due to legal battles and cost barriers. Renovation expenses of Chettinad homes can run into the thousands and are often recurring costs to maintain the properties.<ref name=":5" /> Numerous mansions have remained abandoned because of ongoing legal battles over ownership; this is because houses have numerous owners that are the male descendants of the original residents.<ref name=":2" />

Research shows that owners are enthusiastic about architectural preservation and are exploring different ways to sustain the houses.<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal |last1=Rajivkumar |first1=Seetha |last2=Kesavaperumal |first2=Thirumaran |date=2018-10-02 |title=Investigating the residents' attitude towards the preservation of palatial houses built heritage in Chettinad region, Tamil Nadu |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20518196.2018.1529549 |journal=Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage |language=en |volume=5 |issue=4 |pages=250–265 |doi=10.1080/20518196.2018.1529549 |issn=2051-8196|url-access=subscription }}</ref> One method has been to lease the homes to Indian hotel chains to generate tourist income and spread the Chettiar heritage with people from across the world.<ref name=":4" /> One example is Chidambara Vilas, a 25 bedroom luxury hotel retrofitted from a traditional Chettinad mansion.
