== Armed forces career ==

=== Actions in Ladakh, 1948 ===
Kushal Chand was a younger cousin to [[Thakur Prithi Chand]], the third son of Thakur Amar Chand. [[Bhim Chand (soldier)|Bhim Chand]] was a maternal uncle to both Prithi Chand and Kushal Chand. All three belonged to the 2nd Battalion of the Dogra Regiment. Kushal Chand was commissioned into this unit on 15 September 1941. In the Indo-Pakistan War of 1947–48, all three made their way together to Ladakh, as members of a small volunteer group of Lahauli Buddhists from 2 Dogra, so to defend Ladakh from Pakistani invaders. All three fought and led with distinction, and received high decorations individually. Kushal Chand was second-in-command of this group, which was led by Thakur Prithi Chand. For his actions in Ladakh, Kushal Chand was awarded the [[Maha Vir Chakra]], the second-highest gallantry award of India.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Capt. D.P.

{{Reduced pull quote|width=|quote=Major Kushal Chand in February 1948 was one of the two officers, who volunteered to go to Leh to help in raising a local militia force and to organise and conduct the defence of the Ladakh valley. For four months, this young officer, with just a platoon of J&K state forces, and 20 Dogra volunteers, hastily trained and delayed the enemy advance south towards Leh along the Indus valley. Major Kushal Chand fearlessly conducted guerrilla warfare of a skilful nature giving an impression to the enemy that he had many more men than he actually had. On one occasion, he held the Khaltsi Bridge for 24 hours with just himself and his buddy. At night, covered by his buddy, who kept firing on the opposite bank, Major Chand crawled down to the bridge and set it on fire. This delayed the enemy's advance for another week. Having no communications with Leh, Major Kushal Chand, at great risks, had to make frequent visits there to keep his commander in picture, as also to receive further instructions. Throughout these operations, without proper ration, without artillery support and with acute shortage of ammunition, Major Kushal Chand led his small band with vigour and skill, and by his personal daredevilry, carried out the given task successfully. He thus maintained the high traditions of the Indian Army and set a fine example to those serving under him.|author=|source=}}

=== Afterwards ===
In 1953, upon his promotion to the rank of Lt. Col., Kushal Chand was given the command 9th Dogra Infantry Battalion, which he held for three years. Thereafter he was deputed to serve on the [[United Nations|UN]] mission in [[Mainland Southeast Asia|Indochina]], as an Indian member of the International Armistice Commission for Indochina.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":5" />

== Death ==
On 9 April 1957, a light aeroplane of the Laos Air Service carrying Kushal Chand and two others crashed in [[Laos]], killing all on board.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |title=ASN Wikibase Occurrence # 222533 |url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/222533 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=AP |date=12 April 1957 |title=Fatal Crash |pages=3 |work=The Straits Times |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/issue/straitstimes19570412-1}}</ref>

== Memorials ==
[[File:Around Leh.jpg|thumb|302x302px|The memorial stupa in honour of Lt. Col. Kushal Chand, MVC, located near the Khaltse bridge in Ladakh.]]
* Kushal Chand's son Ashok Thakur, IAS, got a 'chorten' (Buddhist reliquary) constructed at the Khaltse bridge as a memorial to his father. The Khalatse bridge had been the site of one of major battles fought by Kushal Chand in Ladakh. The chorten was unveiled by the [[14th Dalai Lama]] on his visit to Ladakh in 2012.<ref name=":2" />
* In April 2019, Kushal Chand's uniform, original MVC medal, service and miniature medals were presented by his family members to Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh, then GOC-in-C Northern Command, so as to be preserved at the Indian Army's Hall of Fame in [[Leh]], Ladakh.<ref name=":4" />

'''Pushp Sharma''' is an investigative journalist known for exposing the malaise of [[paid news]] in the Indian media industry through the [[sting operation]] series code-named "Operation 136" that he conducted for [[Cobrapost]]. The investigation revealed how some of India's biggest news organizations and media houses were ready to influence the elections by favouring a party and by planting false news items against the opposition in exchange for money.<ref>{{cite news|title=Cobrapost says paid news widespread|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/cobrapost-says-paid-news-widespread/article23357752.ece|accessdate=27 May 2018|work=The Hindu|date=26 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Cobrapost Alleges Paid News Agenda by Media, India TV Denies Claim|url=https://www.thequint.com/news/india/cobrapost-investigation-operation-136-media-houses-paid-news-hindutva|accessdate=27 May 2018|work=The Quint|date=27 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Peddling Hindutva For Money?: Cobrapost Stings Media Houses In Operation 136|url=https://www.boomlive.in/peddling-hindutva-for-money-cobrapost-stings-media-houses-in-operation-136/|accessdate=27 May 2018|work=Boom Live|date=27 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Large Media Houses Accused of Striking Deals for Paid News to Promote Hindutva Agenda|url=https://thewire.in/media/large-media-houses-seen-striking-deals-for-paid-news-to-promote-hindutva-agenda|accessdate=27 May 2018|work=The Wire|date=27 March 2018}}</ref>

The undercover investigation 'Operation 136:Part 1', released on 26 March 2018, exposed 17 media houses.

Vinay Lokesh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "The narrative and screenplay which seems to be outdated fails to make an impact.

Maheswara Reddy of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "The selection of locations for this movie is good.

'''Prakash Kaur''' (19 September 1919 – 2 November 1982) was an Indian folk singer.<ref name="Schreffler2012">{{cite journal |last1=Schreffler |first1=Gibb |title=Migration Shaping Media: Punjabi Popular Music in a Global Historical Perspective |journal=Popular Music and Society |date=July 2012 |volume=35 |issue=3 |pages=333–358 |doi=10.1080/03007766.2011.600516 |s2cid=192080879 |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03007766.2011.600516 |language=en |issn=0300-7766|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

== Early life ==
[[File:Prakash_Kaur_(left)_Deedar_Singh_Pardesi_&_Surinder_Kaur-Nairobi-1967.jpg|thumb|Prakash Kaur, Deedar Singh Pardesi and Surinder Kaur in Nairobi in 1967.]]
Kaur was born on September 19, 1919 in [[Lahore]], [[British India]], into a [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]]-[[Sikh]] family. She is the elder sister of [[Surinder Kaur]], famous [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] singer-songwriter. Kaur was the eldest daughter of a Sehajdhari Sikh Bishan Dass. Her family lived in Mohalla Bhati Gate, within the walled section of Lahore.

In her early life, Kaur drew inspiration from Rababi women, who would sing during weddings and festive occasions.

== Career ==
Kaur was granted approval to sing on Indian radio around 1940.<ref name=Bhogal2017>{{cite journal |last1=Bhogal |first1=Gurminder Kaur |title=Listening to female voices in Sikh kirtan |journal=Sikh Formations |date=3 April 2017 |volume=13 |issue=1–2 |pages=48–77 |doi=10.1080/17448727.2016.1147183 |s2cid=151385910 |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17448727.2016.1147183 |language=en |issn=1744-8727|url-access=subscription}}</ref> She made her professional debut with a live performance on 'Peshawar Radio' in 1941, and then on 31 August 1943, the two sisters performed their first duet, "''maavan 'te dheean ral baithian''", for the [[Saregama|His Master's Voice]] label.

Kaur was already an accredited artist of All India Radio Lahore. In 1943, Kaur took her thirteen-year-old sister Surinder Kaur along to the studios of All India Radio Lahore. To the surprise of everyone at the radio station, even Surinder Kaur passed the audition test. After August 1943, Surinder Kaur al Kaur and Surinder Kaur with Deedar Singh Pardesiso started going to the radio station with Kaur and most of the time they sang duets, which became very popular. Budh Singh Taan, who was the assistant to the then head of the music section Jiwan Lal Mattoo at AIR Lahore, started coaching both sisters in light singing. But the road to light singing passed via classical music. This way Kaur got her first exposure to the intricacies of [[Hindustani classical music]].

Both sisters recorded several duets in each other’s company under the music direction of music director [[Inayat Hussain (composer)|Master Inayat Hussain]]. Even Kaur’s earliest duets with Surinder Kaur became very popular. Some of the earliest recorded duets had the following lyrics “Dhol sipahiya weh kithe gayon dil laake”, “Haaye naa vass oye na wass badla aje naa wass oye kaaliya” and “Maawan te dhiyan ral baithiyan ni maaye koyi kardiyan gallorian, ni Kankan nissriyan dhiyan kyon vissriyan maaye”. All these duets became instant hits. Kaur rendered several “Shabads” also at All India Radio Lahore. These “Shabads” became popular all over the listening area of All India Radio Lahore. During those days transcriptions of the programs were not made. That is why these numbers are not available even in the radio archives. Kaur briefly sang for films too. One or two such records are available with special category collectors.

On 15 August 1947, India gained independence from British Colonial Rule. For most Indians it was an occasion for celebration, but for the Punjabis and the Bengalis it was a time of bloody clashes, arson and devastation. The scale of death and destruction brought about by senseless violence associated with ethnic cleansing exercise was unimaginable anywhere of the world. Since Lahore came into the share of Pakistan, the Hindus and the Sikhs of Lahore had to be forcibly shifted to East Punjab. Kaur and her family members survived the brutalities of the communal frenzy, but they were made to leave Lahore empty handed. Her younger sister Surinder Kaur moved initially to Ferozepore and subsequently to Bombay. Kaur and her husband made the right move. After staying for a short while in Amritsar, Kaur and her family settled in New Delhi. Incidentally Delhi became the city with the highest refugee Punjabi population, and it provided a readymade market for Punjabi music. Kaur had become the best-known Punjabi female singer in Northern India. From day one she was in great demand in metropolitan Delhi and the national capital region. In the adjoining state of Punjab also there was a great demand for Kaur’s music and live performances. She frequently performed live in all the major cities of Punjab, including Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Ferozepore and Ambala. Once or twice a month, she used to perform at All India Radio Jalandhar too.

Kaur’s most popular songs between 1948 and 1952 happened to be “Gori diyan jhanjran bulaondiyan gayeeyan” and “Chan weh ki showkan mele di, pair dho ke jhanjran paondi meldi aondi ki shaonkan mele di”. Some others are “Kithe te laaniyan tahlian ve pattan waaliyan ve mera patla maahi, kithe te laawan shatoot besamajh jeenoo samaj naa aayee” and “Aap mahi ne chug laiyan ni meriyan dukhan kanaan diyan waaliyan”. Initially in Delhi, Kaur sang several duets with Trilok Kapur including “Ghut paani pilade ni sohniye gharha bharendiye naare, jaa hor kite jaa pi weh mundiya khooh wagende saare” and “Boohe te marangi jandre we peke laavan gi dera, we naukraa peke laawangi dera”.

When Surinder Kaur was rubbing shoulders with the elite of play back singers in Bombay, Kaur was training another of her younger sisters Narinder Kaur, who lived in New Delhi. Even Narinder Kaur got approval as a radio singer at All India Radio Delhi. Some of her gramophone records can be traced back to 1950. One was under the music direction of famous music directors Pandit Husan Lal [[Bhagat Ram]]. Most of Kaur and Narinder Kaur’s music makers were Pandit [[Amar Nath]], Mujaddid Niazi, Kesar Singh Narula and K. [[Panna Lal]].

In 1952, Surinder Kaur also returned from Bombay to the North and settled in New Delhi. This move reunited the two sisters and revived the memories of the good old days in Lahore. After that Punjabi music witnessed a flood of popular duets by these two singers. They will often sing together for “His Master’s Voice recording company” and All India Radio Delhi. Both sisters were approved as special class radio singers by All India Radio. This category is higher than the “A” class. Some of the most famous religious songs rendered by Kaur and Surinder Kaur included “Chum chum rakho ni eh kalgi jujhar di, phullan naal gundo larhi heeriyan de haar di”, “Kithe maata toriya Ajeet te Jujhar noo and “Maachhiwarhe wich baitha shehanshah jahan daa, hath wich khanda pichhe dhasna Kaman daa”. All the numbers became classics.

The two sisters churned out most popular duets one after the other from 1952 to 1982. Kaur must have recorded something like five hundred records in her entire life span. She was active in music business almost till the time of her death. Prior to her demise for quite some time she was not in good health. Kaur died on November 2, 1982, after a disability caused by a serious accident. Even in her ill health, before death, she was in great demand at All India Radio. During the post Mrs. [[Indira Gandhi]] Assassination riots, her house was torched in November 1984. Her son Jaspal Singh Suri escaped the violence and moved to America after 1984.

Elections to the [[Bombay State|Bombay]] [[Legislative Assembly]] were held on 25 February 1957. 1146 candidates contested for the 339 constituencies in the Assembly. There were 57 two-member constituencies and 282 single-member constituencies.<ref name="BombayECI1957"/>

The incumbent [[Indian National Congress]] won reelection, with [[Yashwantrao Chavan]] continuing as [[List of chief ministers of Maharashtra|Chief Minister]]. Despite suffering a decrease in seats, the incumbent government retained its simple majority in the legislative assembly.

==State reorganization==
On 1 November 1956, under [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]], [[Bombay State|Bombay state]] was enlarged by the addition of [[Saurashtra State|Saurashtra state]] and [[Kutch State|Kutch state]], the Marathi-speaking districts of [[Nagpur Division]] of [[Madhya Pradesh]], and the Marathi speaking [[Marathwada]] region of Hyderabad. The state's southernmost Kannada-speaking districts of Dharwad, Bijapur, North Kannada and Belgaum (excluding the Chandgad taluka) were transferred to [[Mysore State|Mysore state]], while Abu Road taluk of the Banaskantha district was transferred to [[Rajasthan]].<ref name="1955ReorgStates">{{cite web | url=http://www.epw.in/system/files/pdf/1955_7/42/reorganisation_of_statesthe_approach_and_arrangements.pdf | title=Reorganisation of States, 1955 | publisher=The Economic Weekly | date=15 October 1955 | accessdate=25 July 2015}}</ref> Hence the constituencies increased from 315 to 396 in 1957 elections.

'''Tharun Moorthy''' is an Indian film director and [[screenwriter]] who predominantly works in [[Malayalam Cinema]], with his first film being ''[[Operation Java]]''. His second film, ''[[Saudi Vellakka]]'', was chosen for the Indian Panorama at IFFI 2022.

==Career==
Early in his career, Moorthy was a part of the [[performing arts]] industry, acting in [[theatre]] and in [[kathakali]] productions since a young age. He went on to become an assistant professor in the field of [[computer science engineering]] and also had a period where he made [[advertisements]] for television. From the latter, he learned how to create studio sets and how media production is done, which led to him becoming a "self-taught" director after failing to land any major roles as an actor. He stated that his father was the first to notice and push him into writing scripts for films.<ref>{{cite news |last=Shrijith |first=Sajin |date=26 November 2020 |title=Aiming for grittiness |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2020/nov/26/aiming-for-grittiness-21492.html |work=[[Cinema Express]] |access-date=14 January 2023}}</ref><ref name="Silverscreen">{{cite news |last=R. |first=Chandhini |date=24 May 2021 |title='Operation Java' Doesn't Have a Star-Studded Cast; All 83 Characters Were Handpicked, Says Director Tharun Moorthy |url=https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/news/operation-java-doesnt-have-a-star-studded-cast-all-83-characters-were-handpicked-says-director-tharun-moorthy/ |work=Silverscreen India |access-date=8 January 2023}}</ref>

===''Operation Java''===
Moorthy's first film, ''Operation Java'', was released in the middle of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], when film revenue was reduced across the entire industry. The film was a success despite this, resulting in Moorthy releasing a new film poster with the tagline "Those who don't want to lose".<ref>{{cite news |author= |date=5 March 2021 |title=ഓപ്പറേഷന്‍ ജാവ തിയറ്റര്‍ വിജയത്തിന്റെ നാലാം വാരത്തിലേക്ക്, തോല്‍ക്കാന്‍ മനസില്ലാത്തവരെന്ന് സംവിധായകന്‍ |trans-title=Heading into the fourth week of Operation Java theater success, the director says that they are determined not to lose |language=Malayalam |url=https://www.thecue.in/videos/entertainment/film-news/operation-java-boxoffice-hit-tharun-moorthy |work=The Cue |access-date=7 January 2023}}</ref> His selection of [[Lukman Avaran]] to be his lead actor after seeing his performance as the secondary best friend character in ''[[Thallumaala]]'' was initially negatively commented on by others in the film industry, with similar people claiming that Moorthy's "arrogance" is what led him to pick the same actor for his second film. He replied that it was not arrogance but "my pride" that led him to purposefully pick actors that are not already big names in the industry to help them progress as actors, since to him cinema is "not just business for us, it's also art".<ref>{{cite news |author= |date=19 August 2022 |title=Tharun Moorthy: People said I was being arrogant by casting Lukman as the lead in Saudi Vellakka |url=https://www.ottplay.com/news/tharun-moorthy-people-said-i-was-being-arrogant-by-casting-lukman-as-the-lead-in-saudi-vellakka/b8d1c41f64486 |work=[[OTTplay]] |access-date=7 January 2023}}</ref> Consequently, all 83 characters in the film were hand-picked by Moorthy, and his production crew and avoided doing an [[open audition]].<ref name="Silverscreen"/> He also had the film open with an apology note to all the actors who were ultimately rejected or whose scenes were reduced during production.<ref name="Silverscreen"/>

The film itself was originally decided by Moorthy after seeing the situation involving the leak of the film ''[[Premam]]'' and the real investigation case that was solved by two younger men. Because of this source, the names of the young men were kept the same in ''Operation Java'' after receiving permission from the individuals. To prepare for the film, he spent a lot of time alongside the [[cybercrime]] division of the police to see how the cases were dealt with.<ref name="Silverscreen"/>

===''Saudi Vellakka''===
After the success of his first film, Moorthy began work on a second film titled ''Saudi Vellakka'' that was meant to address the "nature of hate" and how the spread of hatred between people can alter how one thinks of another person, with Moorthy stating that the main characters central issue is "common to many families".<ref name="Express"/> He first conceived of the film after seeing a newspaper clipping about the real life case the film is based on. To be able to better depict court proceedings, but also to alter them to be more humorous and cinematic, Moorthy and the production team spent several weeks attending various court sessions.<ref>{{cite news |last=Srilekha |first=RB |date=5 December 2022 |title=ദേവിയമ്മയോട് പറഞ്ഞു, 'ബിഗ് ബിയിലെ മമ്മൂക്കയപ്പോലെ ഇരുന്നാൽ മതി': തരുൺ മൂര്‍ത്തി അഭിമുഖം |trans-title=Deviamma was told to 'just sit like Mammouk in Big B': Tarun Murthy Interview |language=Malayalam |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/interview/2022/12/05/exclusive-chat-with-tharun-moorthy.html |work=[[Malayala Manorama]] |access-date=7 January 2023}}</ref> He had difficulty, however, in obtaining a release date for the film as the lack of popular well-known actors in the production inhibited the potential audience size.<ref name="Express">{{cite news |last=Shrijith |first=Sajin |date=7 December 2022 |title=Tharun Moorthy: I wanted Saudi Vellakka to be an eye-opener for hatemongers |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/interviews/2022/dec/07/tharun-moorthy-i-wanted-saudi-vellakka-to-be-an-eye-opener-for-hatemongers-37480.html |work=[[Cinema Express]] |access-date=7 January 2023}}</ref> Moorthy stated that his method of filmmaking involves deciding on the characters and what their faces look like, then leaving finding the corresponding actors to the casting director.

Moorthy attributed his successes to the supporters that helped him make his films in the manner and style he desired, particularly for ''Saudi Vellakka''. After his first film's success, many people in the film industry were pushing him to next do a "superstar" level film, but it was his producers that allowed him to instead do the type of important message stories that he cared about. He noted that while his primary goal as a filmmaker is to "entertain the audience", he hoped to also give his viewers "food for thought" about meaningful issues affecting contemporary society, such as [[cybercrime]] for ''Operation Java'' and the massive backlog of pending court cases for ''Saudi Vellakka''.<ref>{{cite news |last=Sidhardhan |first=Sanjith |date=5 January 2023 |title=Saudi Vellakka producers trusted my vision when others wanted me to helm superstar film: Tharun Moorthy |url=https://www.ottplay.com/news/saudi-vellakka-producers-trusted-my-vision-when-others-wanted-me-to-helm-superstar-film-tharun-moorthy-exclusive/869d61f973232 |work=[[OTTplay]] |access-date=8 January 2023}}</ref>

'''Kalanaur''' is a tehsil in [[Gurdaspur District]] of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] state in India. It is located 25 km towards west from District headquarters Gurdaspur. This historical town is situated on newly constructed [[National Highway 354]]. The town has historical significance as [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]], was enthroned in a garden near the Kalanaur by [[Bairam Khan]]. It was first established as a Principality by Prince '''Nakhashena''', a brother of King '''Janamejaya,''' which was further ruled by his descendants known as '''Jarral Rajputs'''. Jarral rule in Kalanaur lasted for 350 years.

==Demographics==
As per the 2011 [[census]] of India,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census2011.co.in/data/village/27986-kalanaur-punjab.html | title = Kalanaur Census 2011}}</ref> Kalanaur has a population of 13642. Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Those under 6 years of age constitute 10.76% of the population. The average literacy rate is 83.97%, which is higher than the Punjab average of 75.84%. Male literacy is at 87.35%, and female literacy at 80.28%.

==Geography==
Kalanaur is located at {{Coord|32.01|N|75.09|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/23/Kalanaur.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc. – Kalanaur]</ref> It has an average elevation of 243 metres (797 feet). The town is situated about 25 km to the west of [[Gurdaspur]] city, on the banks of the Kiran, a minor rivulet that merges into the [[Ravi river]].

==History==
Prince "Nakshasena" established a separate independent kingdom at Indraprastha, which later rose to become a dominant force in its own right.<ref>["Uttar Pradesh District Gazetteers" by Govt. Uttar Pradesh 1993, p25]</ref>

With the passage of time, the Bactrian and Scythian invasions of northern India, this Pandava branch established a kingdom at Kalanaur in what is now the modern-day district of Gurdaspur in Punjab (India) establishing the first capital of the Jarral Dynasty.

Jarral Rajputs are known as the descendants of the Pandavas and their branch was named after their apical ancestor, Raja Jir Rao, a Rajput descendant of the Pandavas of the Mahabharata. The "Jarrals" are therefore a "brother tribe" to the illustrious Janjua Rajputs of Punjab.<ref>["Punjab Chiefs" by Sir Lepel H. Griffin (Lahore, 1909, p.97)]</ref>

Kalanaur was later captured in the twelfth century by the armies of the [[Ghurid dynasty|Ghorid Empire]] after a battle with the Jarral Rajas. During the 14th-16th centuries, Kalanaur was a major urban centre and several historical events are associated with the town. [[Firuz Shah Tughluq]] (1352–88) built a beautiful palace on the banks of the Kiran rivulet. During the reign of [[Sayyid]] [[Mubarak Shah (Sayyid dynasty)|Mubarak Shah]] (1421–35), Kalanaur was ruled by the [[Khokhar]] Rajput tribe under the leadership of Raja [[Jasrat]]. In February 1556, [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]], was enthroned in a garden near the Kalanaur by [[Bairam Khan]]. The masonry platform, where he was crowned can be visited even today. There is a [[mosque]] that was built during his reign.<ref>[http://gurdaspur.nic.in/html/profile.htm#history History] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050802074716/http://gurdaspur.nic.in/html/profile.htm#history |date=2 August 2005 }} [[Gurdaspur district]] website.</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=GOPINATH |first=P.

[[File:Emperor Akbar crowning platform.jpg|thumb|This is the crowning platform of the Mughal emperor "Akbar the Great" at Kalanaur, district Gurdaspur in Punjab]]

During the period of anarchy in latter half of the 18th century, the Kanhaiya [[Misl]], a militia under Sardar Haqeeqat Singh Kanhaiya, occupied Kalanaur. His son Jaimal Singh extended his territory up to Fatehgarh Churian and shifted his residence there. Jaimal Singh's daughter Chand Kaur was married to [[Kharak Singh]], eldest son and heir of [[Ranjit Singh]], in 1812. Later, when the area was annexed by Ranjit Singh, he granted it to Kharak Singh. It was later granted in fief to one [[Raja Dina Nath]], and was finally annexed into [[British India]] after the death of [[Divan]] [[Raja Dina Nath|Dina Nath]] in 1857.

==Culture==
Kalanaur was at one time a centre of art, trade and cottage industry. A local saying has it that "a person who has not seen [[Lahore]] should see Kalanaur" ("Jinne nahi vekheya lahore, oh vekhe kalanaur").

The Gurudwara Banda Bahadur, built on the site of a well excavated by the order of [[Banda Bahadur]], is another landmark of the town. There is also a temple of Shiva and a mosque built during the reign of [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]].

==Plagiarism allegations ==

Atlee's films, though commercially successful, have been criticized for having overly-familiar stories that have been done-to-death, starting from the 1980s of [[Tamil cinema]]. ''Raja Rani'' was described as an upgraded version of ''[[Mouna Ragam]]'' (1986), while ''Theri'' was described as having been highly inspired by ''[[Chatriyan]]'' (1990). ''Chatriyan'' was produced by veteran filmmaker [[Mani Ratnam]], while ''Mouna Ragam'' was the latter's own directional film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 April 2019 |title=Before Thalapathy 63: The films Atlee has been accused of plagiarising |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/before-thalapathy-63-the-films-atlee-has-been-accused-of-plagiarising-1504018-2019-04-17 |website=India Today |access-date=15 April 2020 |archive-date=2 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210702163155/https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/before-thalapathy-63-the-films-atlee-has-been-accused-of-plagiarising-1504018-2019-04-17 |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Mersal'' was described as an upgraded version of ''[[Apoorva Sagodharargal (1989 film)|Apoorva Sagodharargal]]'' (1989),<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 October 2017 |title=Mersal is indebted to Kamal Haasan's Aboorva Sagotharargal, as much as Baahubali to Thevar Magan |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/vijay-mersal-kamal-haasan-aboorva-sagotharargal-baahubali-thevar-magan-4899620/ |website=The Indian Express |access-date=8 September 2023 |archive-date=8 September 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230908162116/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/vijay-mersal-kamal-haasan-aboorva-sagotharargal-baahubali-thevar-magan-4899620/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and ''Bigil'' was described as "''[[Chak De!

==Plot==
[[Shahu Modak]] plays the role of an honest policeman, Ganpat, who, on his beat round, meets a prostitute, Maina ([[Shanta Hublikar]]). He saves her when there is a police raid on the sex workers. Over their several meetings, he falls in love with her. He attempts Maina's rehabilitation by getting her out of that atmosphere by marrying her. In this endeavour, he takes her to meet his mother to get her approval. The social disapproval brings misery. Modak resorts to drinking and descends into alcoholism. Maina is driven by guilt and is unable to bear the jeers and snide remarks. She finally kills her evil uncle and refuses Ganpat's help when arrested.

Shantaram had initially decided to take [[Shanta Apte]] as the sex-worker and had auditioned the music director [[Vasant Desai]] for the hero's role.

Shantaram visited the red light areas of [[Bombay]] in order to achieve accurate sets, which were recreated by S. Fattelal at Prabhat Studios.

'''Kenneth George Aston''', [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]] (1 September 1915 – 23 October 2001) was an English teacher, soldier, and [[Referee (association football)|football referee]], who was responsible for many important developments in football refereeing - including the yellow and red [[penalty card]] system.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk">{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1360804/Ken-Aston.html|title=Ken Aston|date=29 October 2001|work=The Daily Telegraph}}</ref>

== Early life and career ==

Born in [[Colchester, Essex]], he graduated from St Luke's College, [[Exeter]] (in which [[George Reader]] had been taught just after the [[First World War]], and which Sir [[Stanley Rous]] had also attended). He qualified as a referee in 1936, working his way through the leagues becoming a [[Football League]] [[Assistant referee (association football)|linesman]] in the [[1949–50 in English football|1949–50]] season, and becoming a League referee. In the [[Second World War]] he was rejected by the [[Royal Air Force]] because of an injured ankle, and subsequently joined the [[Royal Artillery]] before transferring to the [[British Indian Army]], where he finished the war with the rank of [[lieutenant-colonel]] and served on the [[Changi War Crimes Tribunal]].

== Refereeing ==

On his return from military service in 1946, Aston became the first League referee to wear the black uniform with white trim which became the standard for referees. Up to that point, referees wore tweed jackets over white shirts with French cuffs, and pants akin to golf knickers. He later explained that when he spied a black flight jacket in the window of a war surplus store, he was delighted with the wonderful assortment of pockets. He immediately bought a couple of the jackets, thinking the pockets would serve him well as a referee. He changed to black knickers, kept the white shirt, and wore the new black flight jacket, creating the black uniform with the apparent white "trim."

The following year (1947), he introduced brightly coloured linesman's flags, one yellow and one red, in place of those provided by the home team, in the home team's colours, which had traditionally been used.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk"/> He explained that he was doing a game in the midst of a foggy London day. He said that the colours of the home team were beige and chocolate, colours he was unable to see in the fog. He explained that he went to war surplus store on the way home, purchased a pair of red and yellow rain slickers and made a set of brightly coloured flags, which he used thereafter, and was never troubled by fog again.

In 1953 he became Head Teacher at {{ill|Newbury Park Primary School|qid=Q66222351|short=yes}} in [[Ilford]], [[Essex]], and progressed to refereeing senior League matches.

Aston taught many courses, including a series that was recorded for novice referees. He called the series, "Refereeing is thinking."

Aston refereed the [[FA Cup Final 1963|1963 FA Cup Final]] and the "[[Battle of Santiago (1962 FIFA World Cup)|Battle of Santiago]]", the match between [[Chile national football team|Chile]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]] in the [[Football World Cup 1962|1962 World Cup]].

== FIFA Referees' Committee ==

Aston did not referee any more games either in the 1962 tournament (having strained his [[Achilles Tendon]]), or in later World Cups. He was, however, appointed to the [[FIFA]] Referees' Committee for eight years, chairing it for four. He was in charge of all referees for the [[Football World Cup 1966|1966]], [[Football World Cup 1970|1970]], and [[Football World Cup 1974|1974 World Cups]].

In 1966 Aston also introduced the practice of naming a [[wikt:substitute|substitute]] referee who could take over in the case of the referee being unable to continue for any reason (this eventually evolved into the practice of having a designated [[fourth official]]).

He also successfully proposed that the pressure of the ball should be specified in the [[Laws of the Game (association football)|Laws of the Game]]. In 1974, he introduced the number board for substitutes, so that players could easily understand who was being substituted.

He was also credited for the improvement of refereeing beginning with the 1970 World Cup in Mexico through his efforts to bring about uniformity.<ref>David Miller: "Anti-British cloud hangs over soccer", The Times, London, August 22, 1972, p. 22</ref>

== Red and yellow cards ==

Following an incident in the [[Argentina–England football rivalry#1966 World Cup|England vs Argentina match]] in the [[Football World Cup 1966|1966 World Cup]], it came to Aston's knowledge that [[Jack Charlton]] had been booked by the German referee, [[Rudolf Kreitlein]]. Charlton called the [[publisher|press]] [[office]], where Aston was ensconced (as Head of World Cup Referees), in order to confirm the information that he had read within the newspaper that Kreitlein had booked him. Aston, driving from [[Wembley Stadium (1924)|Wembley Stadium]] to [[Lancaster Gate]] that same evening, had Charlton's confusion in mind during the journey.

On the trip, as he stopped at a traffic light junction at [[Kensington High Street]], Aston realised that a colour-coding scheme based on the same amber/yellow ('stop if safe to do so') - red (Stop) principle as used on traffic lights would traverse language barriers and clarify to players and spectators that they had been [[Caution (football)|cautioned]] or [[Dismissal (football)|sent off.]]<ref>[https://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/developing/refereeing/news/newsid=80623.html Refereeing]{{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080606022246/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/developing/refereeing/news/newsid%3D80623.html |date= 6 June 2008 }}</ref>

Aston later explained that upon arriving at his home, he explained the dilemma to his wife, Hilda. She disappeared into the other room, only to return a few minutes later with two "cards" made of construction paper. She had cut them to fit into his shirt pocket. Thus was devised the system whereby referees show a [[Misconduct (football)#Cautionable offenses .28yellow card.29|yellow card]] for a caution and a [[Misconduct (football)#Sending-off offences .28red card.29|red card]] for an expulsion, which was first used in the [[Football World Cup 1970|1970 World Cup]].

[[penalty card|These cards]] have also been adopted – with appropriate differences depending on the rules – in [[Rugby football|rugby]], [[water polo]], and other sports.

== Later career ==

Aston became senior lecturer of [[the Football Association]] Referees' Panel and Chief Instructor for the [[American Youth Soccer Organization]] (AYSO), a position he held for 21 years. In 1997, he was awarded the [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Wyatt|first=Beth|date=2014-10-11|title=Gallery and feature: Local hero Ken Aston a 'giant in the football world'|url=https://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/gallery-and-feature-local-hero-ken-aston-a-giant-in-3006554|access-date=2022-01-21|website=Ilford Recorder|language=en-UK}}</ref>

The Ken Aston Camp is held annually in Orange, CA. The camp honours Ken's commitment to service and excellence. The Ken Aston Cup, was an annual competition to recognise skilled referees in AYSO. The tournament was held annually in southern California. As long as they were able, Aston and his wife Hilda were the guests of honour on the fields at the camp and competition. Ken taught at the camp and they drove around the tournament in a golf cart, observing, chatting, and making new friends. Their golf cart carried a Union Jack, making them easy to locate.

After a multi-year hiatus, it was scheduled to be held in [[Costa Mesa, California]] in March 2020.

[[The Telegraph (India)|''The Telegraph'']] wrote that "Just as you had desperately wanted Raj to end up with Simran in ''[[Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge]]'', you almost will best man Akash on to win Barsha's hand in ''Premer Kahini''. Though it has several flashes of the Shah Rukh-Kajol-starrer, director Ravi Kinnagi adds novelty to the script and makes ''Premer Kahini'' an engaging watch".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kushali |first=Nag |date=15 April 2008 |title=DDLJ revisited |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080415/jsp/entertainment/story_9142302.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090802183305/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080415/jsp/entertainment/story_9142302.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 August 2009 |accessdate=2008-11-04 |publisher=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]]}}</ref>

[[File:Flickr - dalbera - Bimbavati Devi (Manipuri) (2).jpg|thumb|Nupi Challi Pareng (basic feminine movement) ''Lasya'' forms important part of Manipuri dance.]]

{{Short description|Sanskrit term for a female dance}}
'''Lasya '''({{Langx|sa|लास्य|translit=Lāsya}}) is a female dance form that originated in [[India]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Arnold |first=Alison |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Hh03DwAAQBAJ&dq=L%C4%81sya+female+dance&pg=PT749 |title=The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: South Asia: The Indian Subcontinent |date=2017-09-25 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-351-54438-2 |pages=749 |language=en}}</ref> In [[Hindu mythology]], Lasya refers to the dance innovated and performed by the goddess [[Parvati]], described to be gentle and graceful.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bose |first=Mandakranta |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JS_pCAAAQBAJ&dq=L%C4%81sya+female+dance&pg=PA152 |title=Movement and Mimesis: The Idea of Dance in the Sanskritic Tradition |date=2012-12-06 |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |isbn=978-94-011-3594-8 |pages=152 |language=en}}</ref> Described in the [[Natya Shastra]], the feminine Lasya danced by Parvati is contrasted by the masculine [[Tandava]] dance of her consort, [[Shiva]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Masson-Ousel |first1=P. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UQtTAQAAQBAJ&dq=L%C4%81sya+Parvati&pg=PT375 |title=Ancient India and Indian Civilization |last2=Stern |first2=P. |last3=Willman-Grabowska |first3=H. |date=2013-10-11 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-136-20072-4 |pages=375 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Ganguly |first=Anil Baran |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dw7NhcImr1oC&pg=PA78 |title=Fine Arts in Ancient India |date=1979 |publisher=Abhinav Publications |pages=78 |language=en}}</ref>

== Etymology ==
The term ''lāsya'' is derived from the root ‘''las''’ meaning to play or to frolic. It is also translated as lively.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Subramuniya (Master.) |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LK94EAAAQBAJ&dq=L%C4%81sya+female+dance&pg=PT368 |title=How to Become a Hindu: A Guide for Seekers and Born Hindus |date=2000 |publisher=Himalayan Academy Publications |isbn=978-0-945497-82-0 |pages=368 |language=en}}</ref>

== Legend ==
According to legend, the Lasya was taught by Parvati to [[Uṣā|Usha]], the daughter of [[Banasura]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Vatsyayan |first=Kapila |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gtuSDwAAQBAJ&dq=lasya+usha&pg=PT40 |title=INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE |date=1974 |publisher=Publications Division Ministry of Information & Broadcasting |isbn=978-81-230-2957-3 |pages=40 |language=en}}</ref> Usha, in turn, is regarded to have taught the dance to the milkmaids known as the [[Gopi|gopikas]], who are believed to have spread the technique to women throughout the land.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Shivaji |first1=Bharati |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jpxbZZVGNxUC&pg=PA6 |title=The Art of Mohiniyāttam |last2=Pasricha |first2=Avinash |date=1986 |publisher=Lancer Publishers |isbn=978-81-7062-003-7 |pages=6 |language=en}}</ref>

== Description ==
Described as the prototype of all female dancing, the Lasya is danced in a variety of forms, most of which comprise the small and seductive motions of the feet. Some forms of the Lasya consist of the rapid succession of minor steps, regarded to be erotic. During the performance of the dance, the feet are kept parallel and close to one another, each foot following the other with precision in time. An example of this dance is the [[Mohiniyattam]] of [[Kerala]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Walker |first=Benjamin |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_J2RDwAAQBAJ&dq=L%C4%81sya+dance&pg=PT304 |title=Hindu World: An Encyclopedic Survey of Hinduism. In Two Volumes. Volume I A-L |date=2019-04-09 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-429-62421-6 |pages=304 |language=en}}</ref>

There are described to be four forms of the Lasya: Srinkhala, Lata, Pindi, and Bhedyaka.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bhagyalekshmy |first=S |title=Approach to Bharatanatyam |pages=5}}</ref>

Professor [[Inayat Khan]] in his book ''Munqar Musicar'' (1912) wrote: "Women and men both perform this dance and there are a number of recognized masters ([[ustad]]) of it in India. Lasya is accompanied by two sarangi players and a tabid, and sometimes a [[manjira]] (small Indian cymbals). It is danced by one woman, or by two together".<ref>Hazrat Inayat Khan. «The Minqar-i Musiqar: Hazrat Inayat Khan's Classic 1912 Work on Indian Musical Theory and Practice».

== Reception ==
The album received positive response from critics and audiences. Neetishta Nyayapati from ''[[The Times of India]]'', stated "Despite featuring only four numbers, the jukebox of ''Aravindha Sametha'' sets itself apart with its authenticity", however opined that "while the earthiness of the theme comes through the vocals and lyrics, it's missing in Thaman's music."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Music Review: Aravindha Sametha – Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/music/music-review-aravindha-sametha/articleshow/65994109.cms|access-date=24 December 2019|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> ''[[123Telugu]]'' reviewed it as, "There was a lot of expectation from Thaman as he was teaming up with Trivikram for the first time. But it looks like the ace composer has given importance to the emotions in the film rather than churning out commercial numbers. Peniviti and Anaganaganaga will be chartbusters and are our picks. Finally, the album of Aravinda Sametha is not your regular song and dance album and has been composed to gel with the narrative. It will grow on you slowly after watching the film on the big screen."<ref>{{Cite web|date=20 September 2018|title=Jr NTR Aravinda Sametha Audio Review {{!}} Music Review {{!}} Songs Talk|url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/ntr-aravindha-sametha-telugu-music-review.html|access-date=24 December 2019|website=123telugu.com}}</ref> ''Indiaglitz'' rated 3 out of 5 stars, and summarised it as "With just four songs, the album features two mood-based and two generic numbers."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aravindha Sametha Music review songs lyrics|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/aravindha-sametha-songs-review-kannada-movie-22400|access-date=24 December 2019|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref> ''Cinejosh'' summarised it as "''Aravinda Sametha'' weaves out a melodious album fitting in all the elements for an NTR and Trivikram combo film!"<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aravinda Sametha Audio Review|url=https://www.cinejosh.com/news/1/63340/aravinda-sametha-audio-review.html|access-date=24 December 2019|website=Cine Josh|language=en-us}}</ref>

== Reception ==
Raja Sen of [[Mint (newspaper)|''Mint'']] in his review stated "The series works because of the filmmakers in focus. J Neelam, one of the only women directors who made “fultoo sex” pictures like Kunwari Dulhan, approaches her work with pragmatism and sensitivity: she wants scenes to have a point, women to be in charge."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-01-27 |title=Cinema Marte Dum Tak review: Celebrating the C-grade |url=https://lifestyle.livemint.com//how-to-lounge/movies-tv/cinema-marte-dum-tak-review-celebrating-the-cgrade-111674809097178.html |access-date= |website=Mintlounge |language=en}}</ref>

Ronak Kotecha of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave Cinema Marte Dum Tak a 3.5/5 rating, praising Vasan Bala's direction. He noted "Filmmaker Vasan Bala’s passion for cinema is well known and extremely palpable in all his works. ‘Cinema Marte Dum Tak’ is no different."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Cinema Marte Dum Tak Season 1 Review : Enjoy the cheap thrills and oomphy secrets of Bollywood's pulp universe |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/cinema-marte-dum-tak/season-1/seasonreview/97082990.cms |access-date= |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

Deepa Gahlot at ''[[Rediff.com]]'' rated the series 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "The series is a celebration of those directors' resourcefulness, economy and speed of film-making.

Suchin Mehrotra in his review stated "Cinema Marte Dum Tak is a gloriously entertaining and charmingly heartfelt"

Kartik Bhardwaj of [[Cinema Express|''Cine Express'']] rated the series 3.5/5 stating "''Cinema Marte Dum Tak'' also zooms out and tracks the journey of this underground cinema, and how the controversy around “bits” or pornographic scenes that were added under the nose of the Censors, the death of single screens after advancement of multiplexes and lack of upgradation by makers, led to its downfall."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cinema Marte Dum Tak Series Review: The perseverance behind the pulp |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/hindi/review/2023/jan/23/cinema-marte-dum-tak-series-review-the-perseverance-behind-the-pulp-39148.html |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=[[Cinema Express]] |date=23 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

{{Infobox bilateral relations|Dominica–India|Dominica|India}}

'''Dominica–India relations''' refers to the international [[Diplomacy|relations]] that exist between [[Dominica]] and [[India]], both [[republics in the Commonwealth of Nations]]. The High Commission of India in [[Port of Spain]], [[Trinidad and Tobago]] is concurrently accredited to Dominica. Neither country hosts a resident [[diplomatic mission]] of the other.

==History==
Dominica and India established diplomatic relations in 1981.<ref name="MEA2016">{{cite web |date=5 December 2016 |title=Bilateral Relations-Commonwealth of Dominica |url=http://www.mea.gov.in/Portal/ForeignRelation/Commonwealth_of_Dominica_new.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610234221/http://www.mea.gov.in/Portal/ForeignRelation/Commonwealth_of_Dominica_new.pdf |archive-date=10 June 2017 |access-date=17 April 2017 |website=Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India}}</ref>

India's Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) and Dominica's Division of Agriculture signed an MoU for cooperation in [[education]] and research
in [[agriculture]] and allied areas in October 2011.<ref name="MEA2016"/> Some [[Dominica]]n and [[India]]n media outlets reported in November 2011, that [[Dawood Ibrahim]] had obtained a Dominican [[passport]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Gupta |first=Shekhar N. |date=6 November 2011 |title=Discover Dominica Authority to participate in US and UK Trade Shows |url=http://www.thedominican.net/2011/11/dominica-best-place-for-passports.html |access-date=17 April 2017 |website=TheDominican.net}}</ref> On 13 November 2011, Dominican [[Prime minister|Prime Minister]] [[Roosevelt Skerrit]] officially denied the reports stating that the government had conducted "an extensive search into the matter and there is no evidence to match the claim." He further accused Dominican [[economist]] Thompson Fontaine of being the origin of the false reports.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/general/government-denies-granting-passport-to-dawood-ibrahim-to-seek-legal-advice-against-dr-thompson-fontaine/|title=Interpol investigations show Ibrahim has no connection to Dominica – PM|website=Dominica News Online|date=10 November 2011|access-date=17 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Government denies granting passport to Dawood Ibrahim; to seek legal advice against Dr. Thompson Fontaine|url=http://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/general/government-denies-granting-passport-to-dawood-ibrahim-to-seek-legal-advice-against-dr-thompson-fontaine/|website=Dominica News Online|date=10 November 2011|access-date=17 April 2017}}</ref>
