== Reception ==
Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Sunny Leone in and as Anamika engages the viewers in the thrilling encounters with the mafia and DTA Agents who are after her. One can really sit back and enjoy the action. Her training in a variety of combat (a combination of martial arts forms) is evident, especially in her movements and body language."<ref>{{cite news |last=Khurana |first=Archika |title=Anamika Season 1 Review: Sunny Leone shines in her new action-packed avatar as Anamika |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/anamika/season-1/seasonreview/90070596.cms |access-date=11 January 2023 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=10 March 2022}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>

Udita Jhunjhunwala for ''[[Firstpost]]'' wrote "The supporting actors range from caricatures (Ansari, an expletive spewing drug dealer dressed in all-white) to deadpan (Shrivastav) to slightly camp (Sameer Soni as businessman Sameer Oberoi)."<ref>{{cite news |last=Jhunjhunwala |first=Udita |title=Anamika review: Sunny Leone, Vikram Bhatt's show is a scrapyard for tried and tested action-thrillers tropes |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/anamika-review-sunny-leone-vikram-bhatts-show-is-a-scrapyard-for-tried-and-tested-action-thrillers-tropes-10450511.html |access-date=11 January 2023 |work=[[Firstpost]] |date=11 March 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

Priyakshi Sharma of ''[[Pinkvilla]]'' wrote "It should be definitely noted that Sunny Leone is cast in a never-seen-before action avatar. She’s knocking down men with guns with ferocity. In Anamika, she is not reduced to being an object of the male gaze, but she’s someone with a complex history, a troubled past, and a conflict with her own mind, and that’s a great start to break free of being typecast."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sharma |first=Priyakshi |title=Anamika Ep 1 Review: Sunny Leone’s action avatar does not save her thriller from a poor screenplay |url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/anamika-ep-1-review-sunny-leone-s-action-avatar-does-not-save-her-thriller-poor-screenplay-1042522 |access-date=12 January 2023 |work=[[Pinkvilla]] |date=10 March 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

Reviewing the web series ''[[Binge (streaming service)|Binged]]'' wrote "The climax, like most of the story before offers twists.

The story begins by focusing on three middle-class sisters – Khori, Dyuti and Boni whose fates get tied with those of the rich Singha Roy brothers – Riddhiman, Rahul and Kunal. The story then shows the balance of the newlywed couples in their relationship, including family, love and responsibilities.

The story starts with Chandra (a greedy woman), a mother who wishes that one day her three daughters would marry into a wealthy family. But whose bond will form with whom, the decision lies in the hands of God.

On [[Jagaddhatri|Jagadhatri Puja]], the extravaganza begins. The famed diamond merchants, the Singha Roys, observe Jagadhatri Puja every year. Khori, the second daughter of Chandra, has been given the task of decorating the entire Puja this year. The three sisters reside with their parents, and their mother hopes that her daughters will marry into a prosperous household. Because of Khori's artistic talent, Chandra intends to accompany her daughters to the Singha Roy house. Her first daughter Dyuti is a greedy, selfish gold-digger. Because her mother pampers her, she turned out to be a spoilt, unlike her other two sisters who are good and well-mannered by nature. She is opportunistic by nature and often lies to get what she wants, just like her mother.

Chandra's second daughter, Khori is a pretty, intelligent, kind and talented hardworking artist. She is an independent, outspoken and no-nonsense girl who everyone adores. She manages her father's art shop (Doshokarma Bhandar). Her artwork is very famous around the town. Even though she is very young, she has taken up all her household responsibilities. She loves her sisters more than anything. She sacrificed her art career for her sister Dyuti, even though she was more talented, intelligent and educated than Dyuti, who is very dull in everything.

On the other hand, Banishika, aka Boni, is a tomboy who loves sports and biking. She is the youngest daughter. She studies in college. Just like Khori, she is outspoken and brave. She always supports and stands beside Khori, and her family in times of need.

The Singha Roys are a joint family. They are big diamond merchants. They run a jewellery business under their family name "Singha Roy Jewellers". They are one of the richest families in the town. Three brothers in the family are adored by their grandparents the most. The family's youngest child is named Kunal. He is calm, composed and sweet nature. He is an artist. Rahul Sengupta is a playboy. He is of a carefree nature and envies Riddhiman. He does not belong to the Singha Roy family as he is the grandson of Singha Roy Jewellers manager. But the Singha Roy family still considers him as their own child and loves him. He feels inferior to Riddhiman, so he always tries to trouble him. Riddhiman is Singha Roy's eldest son (he is three months younger than Rahul). Among the three, he is the most adored. He has assumed leadership of his family's business as he is the eldest. Even though he looks haughty from the outside. He is a well-mannered and law abiding man. Just like Khori he is outspoken, as he cannot tolerate injustice and always puts his family first, before himself. He loves his brothers more than anything.

Soon, Khori and Riddhiman meet and develop immense hatred for each other at first sight. But, due to unavoidable circumstances, they are forced to tie the knot and unwillingly marry. Both Khori and Riddhiman refuse to accept the marriage. Even though their ideologies, thoughts, nature and behaviour matches, but still, due to misunderstandings they cannot stand the sight of each other. But very soon Riddhiman falls in love with Khori as he realises that she was always the girl of his dreams. He soon realises that Khori has everything-beauty, values, talent, honesty and courage he always searched for in a girl. How they both fall deeply in love each other, how Khori establishes herself as a famous artist, and how Khori and Riddhi overcome all obstacles in their lives together form the crux of the story. It also shows the parallel lives of Khori's sisters, Dyuti and Boni, and Riddhiman's brothers, Rahul and Kunal and their respective journeys.

===2 years later===
Khori gives birth to a son, named Ayushmaan, while Dyuti gives birth to a daughter, named Disha. But Khori dies during the delivery, due to the complications of her pregnancy, leaving a shock for the family.

===20 years later===
Riddhiman still loves Khori deeply and misses her. He has spent the last twenty years of his life fulfilling Khori's last wish of providing education to children who are talented, but do not have the required resources to complete their dreams, just like her, who had to leave her education to support her family. He holds Ayushmaan responsible for Khori's death, therefore; he has never paid any attention to his son in all these years.

Ayushmaan is an aspiring musician, neglected by his father, Riddhiman. Ayushmaan wishes to win his father's love. Soon, a young, aspiring, pretty and innocent classical singer, named Ganga enters his life, beginning the start of a new chapter of fate. marries Ganga, while Rukmini enters into Riddhimaan's life. Riddhimaan and Rukmini also get married and eventually fall in love. There was an unfolding twisted chapter in the end.

Borgohain began publishing short stories under the pseudonym Neelima Devi in the journal ''Ramdhenu''. Some of her works are ''Anek Akas'' (''Many Skies'', 1961), ''Jalachabi'' (''Movie'', 1966), ''Sunyatar Kavya'' (''Poems of Emptiness'', 1969).{{sfn|Deka|2013|p=37}}

Borgohain's first novel ''Sei Nadi Niravadhi'' (''The River Keeps Flowing'') was published in 1963. This intertwined the story of a woman with the fate of a river, while ''Ejan Budha Manuh'' (''An Old Man'', 1966) centred on the relationship between a father and son, laying bare the tensions fraying it owing to an inter-caste marriage.{{sfn|Deka|2013|p=39}}

Her feminist novels ''Dinor Pisot Dinor'' (1968), ''Anya Jivan'' (1986) and ''Champavati'' were noted for their sympathetic portrayals of women facing up to oppressive social mores and the patriarchy. Meanwhile, the degradation faced by the indigent, owing to rural migration as well as the breakdown of the old established social orders, was acutely described in her ''Dinor Pisot Dinor'' as well as ''Bhabhishat Rongat Surya'' (1980).{{sfn|Natarajan|Nelson|1996|p=39}} ''Iparor Ghor Siparor Ghor'' (''Houses of This Side and That'', 1979) again depicted the migration of rural folks to urban areas in search of a better life; the tale was told in a naturalistic form, realistic but suffused with pessimism.{{sfn|Rajan|1989|p=8}}

Borgohain's ''Abhiyatri'' (1995) was a [[biographical novel]] of the life of an Assamese freedom fighter, feminist and social activist, [[Chandraprava Saikiani]]. This won her the [[Sahitya Akademi Award|Sahitya Akademi literary award]] the following year, and is considered one of her finest novels.{{sfn|Naikar|2005|p=16}}{{sfn|Deka|2013|p=39}}

''The Smile Man'' released on 27 December 2024.

== Plot ==
Near [[Coimbatore]], a person is shot dead with a distinctive 'Smile Man' mark on the face. Meanwhile, Chidambaram Nedumaaran is involved in a car accident, where an unknown assailant attacks him. Five years later, Chidambaram is struggling with [[Alzheimer's disease]], and his doctor informs him that he will lose all his memories within a year. To preserve his experiences, Chidambaram writes a book about the serial killing cases he solved, including the infamous 'Smile Man' case, which remains incomplete.

At the book launch, Chidambaram meets Aravind, a [[CBCID]] officer and the son of his former colleague Venkatesh, who went missing five years ago during a mission with Chidambaram. Chidambaram contacts Veerayya, who provides information about four convicted culprits who are now free. Chidambaram secretly follows them, and after a brief conversation with one of the culprits, he is murdered by the same 'Smile Man' pattern. The CBCID team suspects a serial killer is on the loose again, coinciding with the publication of Chidambaram's book. Despite his doctor's advice, Chidambaram joins forces with Aravind to hunt down the 'Smile Man' psycho-serial killer. As Chidambaram's memory lapses become more frequent, he records conversations during the investigation. Chidambaram suspects that it's a copycat killing, suggesting the original killer has resumed their spree. A person claiming to be the 'Smile Man' killer voluntarily appears at the CBCID office, but Chidambaram quickly identifies the imposter. Meanwhile, Veerayya is killed by the real killer, even before Chidambaram could arrive as he was struggling to recall the address. Chidambaram alerts Aravind and the police, but they mistakenly arrest an auto driver. After analyzing traffic CCTV footage, the police catch a glimpse of the killer and their vehicle.

Chidambaram, regretful of failing to apprehend the killer, decides to withdraw from the investigation. Aravind discovers a mobile phone with Chidambaram's call at Veerayya's house, prompting him to confront Chidambaram. Chidambaram begins to recount the past, where Aravind's father, Venkatesh, was his superior officer investigating the serial killings. Chidambaram had withdrawn from that case due to personal reasons but later discovered that Venkatesh had falsely closed the case by killing an innocent carpenter after his wife came lamenting about the murder. Chidambaram confronted Venkatesh, who tricked and shot him. Chidambaram shot Venkatesh in self-defense but was shocked to find the 'Smile Man' mark on Venkatesh's face. As Chidambaram pursued the speeding jeep escaping the scene, he was involved in the car accident shown at the beginning of the film.

Aravind, enraged upon learning that Chidambaram had killed his father initiates an investigation on Chidambaram. They discover that the 2016 murders occurred near Chidambaram's residences and that his fiancée, Chithra, and her daughter, Yanu were victims of the psycho killer. Chidambaram is placed under house arrest, but he orchestrates a press conference to attract the psycho-killer's attention towards him. Aravind's investigation about Chithra leads him to Prabhu, a mortuary employee, who is revealed to be the psycho killer. Chidambaram suspects that Aravind might be the killer's next target. However, Prabhu kills the wife of a carpenter, who was wrongly framed by Venkatesh five years ago. He hangs the corpse in Aravind's house, leaving a note indicating one more kill remains. Prabhu confronts Chidambaram, and after a struggle, Chidambaram subdues him.

Prabhu begins to narrate his connection to Chidambaram and the serial killings. He reveals that he started killing his friends when they distanced themselves from him, making them smile after death. Prabhu's obsession with Chithra, a nurse, grew when Chidambaram became close to her daughter, Yanu. Prabhu forced Yanu to ask her mother to marry him, resulting in Yanu's death. Chithra, devastated by her daughter's demise, commits suicide by [[hanging]]. After recounting his past, Prabhu attacks Chidambaram, but Aravind and Keerthana intervene, rescuing Chidambaram and hospitalizing him. Chidambaram awakens, overhears Prabhu's recorded conversation, and heads to the mortuary. Despite his memory loss, Chidambaram subdues and kills Prabhu. Aravind confesses the truth, revealing that his father covered up the truth and that Chidambaram is the real hero. Meanwhile, Chidambaram is shown in a rehabilitation center, having forgotten his past.

==Plot summary==
Raja Bahadur rules his region, although fully aware that his days as King are numbered. Nevertheless, he indulges in women, alcohol, and high-living - most of which is through borrowed money, with the creditors threatening to take him to court. He even has an affair with prostitute named Dulari, who he refuses to marry, and has her brother, Kundan, sent to jail. When his brother, Suraj, returns from abroad, Bahadur decides to withhold this information from him. In order to keep up appearances, Bahadur gets his men to rob their neighbor, Hiralal's house, of all jewellery and cash. But Hiralal wakes up, calls for help and for the police, and one of Bahadur's men is arrested. When Bahadur finds out that the police have traced him to his house, Suraj decides to take the rap for him, is arrested and imprisoned. On Suraj's return, Bahadur announces his marriage to Rekha, Hiralal's daughter.

'''Elections in Kerala''' are regularly held to appoint government officials at various levels, both within the state of [[Keralam]] and in [[India]] as a whole. These elections encompass national elections as well as regional elections for local bodies and ''[[Panchayati raj in India|panchayats]]''.

The [[Kerala Legislative Assembly|Kerala Assembly]] has the authority to enact laws concerning the conduct of local body elections independently. However, any modifications made by the state legislature to the procedures of state-level elections require approval from the [[Parliament of India]]. In addition, the state legislature may be dismissed by the Parliament according to [[President's rule|Article 356 of the Indian Constitution]] and President's rule may be imposed.

The [[Election Commission of India]] (ECI) prepares the electoral rolls for elections to the [[Parliament of India]] ([[Lok Sabha]]) and the [[Kerala Legislative Assembly]], and conducts these elections.

[[Kerala State Election Commission]] (SEC) prepares the electoral rolls of Panchayats, Municipalities and Municipal Corporations and conduct their elections. The State Election Commissioner is also the Chairman of the Delimitation Commission.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Messages|url=http://sec.kerala.gov.in/index.php/messages/118-messages#:~:text=(i)%20Conduct%20of%20elections%20to,no-confidence%20motion%20against%20them.&text=(iii)%20Determination%20of%20disqualification%20of,on%20the%20ground%20of%20defection.|access-date=2020-09-11|website=sec.kerala.gov.in}}</ref>

*[[Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha|Members of Parliament]] in the [[Lok Sabha]] (Lower House)
*[[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Members]] of the [[Kerala Legislative Assembly]] (State Assembly)
* Members of [[Local government in Kerala|local governance bodies]] ([[List of municipal corporations in Kerala|municipal bodies]] and [[Panchayati raj|panchayats]])

== Lok Sabha elections ==
[[File:View of Lok Sabha chamber in the New Parliament building, New Delhi.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Lok Sabha]] (Lower House of the Indian Parliament)]]

== Local Body elections ==
{{main|Local government in Kerala}}

The elections for local self-government institutions, such as panchayats and municipalities, are conducted by the [[Kerala State Election Commission]], which is an independent constitutional authority.

Panchayat Elections is a term widely used in [[Kerala]], [[India]], for the polls that are held to select the ''Local Self-government Representatives''. There are three branches of local self-government institutions in Kerala, officially known as [[Panchayati raj in India|Panchayati Raj Institutions]], responsible for rural governance. They are ''Grama Panchayat'' which can be translated as Village Government, ''Block Panchayat'' and ''District Panchayat''. A Grama Panchayat is almost an equivalent to [[City]] administration and, Block Panchayat is for a rural [[Community development block|block]] (which includes several gram panchayats) District Panchayat to a [[County]] (excluding [[Municipal governance in India|statutory cities and towns]]).

There are two more wings namely [[Municipality]] which is the urban local government that exists only in major towns and ''Municipal'' ''Corporations'' that come only in six major cities. Consequent to the 73rd Amendment to the [[Constitution of India]], the local self-government institutions (LSGIs) are to function as the third tier of [[government]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Jha|first=B.

The '''Telecommunications Act, 2023''' (Act No. 44 of 2023) is an act of the [[Parliament of India]] to replace the [[Indian Telegraph Act, 1885]]. It aims to consolidate laws relating to the development, expansion and operation of [[Telecommunications service|telecommunication services]] and networks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sansad.in/ls|title=Digital Sansad|first=National Informatics|last=Centre|website=Digital Sansad}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-policy/ashwini-vaishnaw-tables-telecommunications-bill-2023-in-lok-sabha/articleshow/106081142.cms|title=Telecommunications Bill 2023 tabled in Lok Sabha|newspaper=The Economic Times |date=December 18, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/everyday-explainers/telecom-bill-2023-what-powers-government-national-security-9073347/|title=Telecom Bill 2023: What powers it gives the government for 'national security'|date=December 18, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/government-telecommunication-bill-union-minister-ashwini-vaishnaw-services-national-security-parliament-2477278-2023-12-18|title=Telecom Bill allows Centre to take over, suspend services over 'national security'|website=India Today|date=18 December 2023 }}</ref>

== Background and timeline ==
On 20 December 2023, the Telecommunications bill, 2023 was passed by the [[Lok Sabha]].

On 21 December 2023, the Telecommunications bill, 2023 was passed in the [[Rajya Sabha]].

The Bill replaces the [[Indian Telegraph Act, 1885|Indian Telegraph Act of 1885]] with a comprehensive framework for the telecom sector.

The key provisions of the Bill are:

1. Regulation of OTT Services: The bill proposes to bring [[Over-the-top media services in India|over-the-top (OTT)]] services under the definition of telecommunications. This would subject them to similar regulations as traditional telecom services, potentially raising concerns about privacy and freedom of expression.

2. Government powers: The bill grants the government wide-ranging powers, including the ability to:

* Suspend or prohibit use of telecom equipment from countries or individuals for national security reasons.
* Take over, manage, or suspend any or all telecommunication services or networks in the interest of national security.
* Waive entry fees, license fees, penalties, etc., to promote consumer interests, market competition, or national security.

3. Spectrum allocation: The bill introduces a new system for allocating [[spectrum]] for [[Satellite Internet access|satellite broadband services]]. This could potentially benefit rural areas and bridge the [[digital divide]].

4. Other provisions: The bill also includes provisions for:

* Promoting research and development in the telecom sector.
* Protecting consumer rights and ensuring data privacy.
* Facilitating the deployment of new technologies like [[5G]].

Concerns have been raised about the potential for government overreach and [[Censorship in India|content censorship]], as the bill grants broad powers to regulate [[Web content|online content]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/industry/telecom/new-telecom-bill-set-to-approve-administrative-allocation-for-satellite-broadband-services-11702876066350.html|title=Telecom bill to okay administrative allocation for satellite broadband services|first=Gulveen|last=Aulakh|date=December 18, 2023|website=mint}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/new-telecom-bill-will-allow-centre-to-take-over-suspend-mobile-network-for-public-safety/articleshow/106086186.cms?from=mdr|title=New Telecom Bill will allow Centre to take over, suspend mobile network for public safety|newspaper=The Times of India |date=December 18, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/telecom-bill-introduced-in-parliament-more-powers-to-the-government/article67649897.ece|title=Telecom Bill introduced in Parliament, vests more powers with government|first=S.

The bill's provisions granting wide-ranging powers to the [[Government of India|government]], including suspension of services and equipment bans, have been criticized as giving excessive control and potentially jeopardizing fundamental rights like [[Freedom of expression in India|freedom of expression]] and privacy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/politics/story/parliament-winter-session-ashwini-vaishnaw-introduces-telecommunications-bill-2023-in-lok-sabha-409865-2023-12-18|title=Parliament winter session: Ashwini Vaishnaw introduces Telecommunications Bill, 2023 in Lok Sabha|date=December 18, 2023|website=Business Today}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/tabled-in-lok-sabha-telecommunications-bill-seeks-to-regulate-all-online-services-101702885460777.html|title=Tabled in Lok Sabha, Telecommunications Bill seeks to regulate all online services|date=December 18, 2023|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref> Critics argue that the drafting and consultation process for the bill has been opaque and lacked sufficient involvement of key stakeholders, leading to concerns about its effectiveness and fairness.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/news/law/telecom-bill-to-be-tabled-lok-sabha-winter-session-key-highlights|title=Parliament Winter Session: New Telecom Bill Introduced in Lok Sabha Amid Ruckus|first=Karan|last=Mahadik|date=December 18, 2023|website=TheQuint}}</ref>

The bill's data localization requirements, which mandate storing user data within India, raise concerns about potential misuse and surveillance by the government or third parties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/telecommunications-bill-lok-sabha-money-bill-privacy-244849|title=Telecommunications Bill 2023 Introduced In Lok Sabha With Money Bill Classification|first=Awstika|last=Das|date=December 18, 2023|website=www.livelaw.in}}</ref>

'''''Oh Manapenne!''''' ({{IPA|ta|maɳappeɳɳeː|pron}} {{translation|Oh Dear Bride!}}) is a 2021 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic comedy]] film directed by Kaarthikk Sundar in his directorial debut and written by Deepak Sundarrajan. A remake of the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film ''[[Pelli Choopulu]]'' (2016), it stars [[Priya Bhavani Shankar]] and [[Harish Kalyan]] as a girl and boy who meet during a matchmaking event. How their aspirations bring them together forms the rest of the story.

The rights to remake ''Pelli Choopulu'' in Tamil were initially acquired by [[Gautham Vasudev Menon]] in 2016, and the film titled ''Pon Ondru Kandein'' ({{Translation|I saw a girl}}) was to be directed by Senthil Veerasamy, with [[Vishnu Vishal]] and [[Tamannaah Bhatia]] starring. The project faced delays and was ultimately shelved due to budgetary constraints; by November 2019, it had undergone a complete change in cast and crew. The new film, ''Oh Manapenne!'', began principal photography in December 2019 and [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] in February 2020. It was released on 22 October 2021 via [[Disney+ Hotstar]].

== Plot ==
Karthik, lethargic by nature, completes his [[Bachelor of Engineering|B.E.]] by clearing his subjects after almost five years. His dream is to become a chef and open a restaurant, but he receives no support from his father. Shruthi is a very focused girl who works hard to fulfill her dreams of going to Australia. However, her father shows no interest, as she is a girl and he wanted a boy instead. When Karthik and Shruthi meet at a matchmaking event, her younger cousin, Barath, accidentally locks the door, which jams very often, leaving them stuck in the same room. To pass time, they talk about their past.

Shruthi reveals that she was in love with a man named Arjun. They both wanted to start a food truck business. Arjun went to [[Bangalore]] to talk with his father about their love and business. Meanwhile, Shruthi started her plan eagerly and was ready to surprise Arjun by buying the truck. But things went wrong and Arjun did not come back, because he became engaged. Shruthi and her father waited for him but when they realised Arjun was not coming back, her father decided to get her married to someone else.

On his turn, Karthik reveals that he was unemployed and always went out with his two friends, Sathya and Faizal. So Karthik and his friends made cooking videos, as he is passionate about cooking. But it was not profitable enough, so they took to prank videos and were caught by Karthik's father, which ended their plan.

It is then revealed, after the door is fixed, that Karthik came to the wrong address for his matchmaking event. Later, Karthik goes to his actual matchmaking event, which is with a rich family. Meanwhile, Shruthi tells the man coming to her matchmaking event that she is not interested in the marriage. The family of Karthik's prospective bride wants him to be able to run a business, so he and Shruthi decide to operate the food truck themselves, with Karthik as the chef, and Shruthi in charge of the business side of things. At first, they face many difficulties, mainly because of Karthik and his friends' laziness as well as fighting with Shruthi and giving up the food truck.

Later, Karthik visits Shruthi's house and informs her father that he should be proud to have such a responsible daughter. He also claims that if he ever gets a son like him, he would wish to have a daughter like Shruthi and insists that he let her pursue her dreams. Because of this, Shruthi understands the good nature of Karthik and later convinces Karthi's father that he is a talented cook by cooking them Karthik's recipe. Then they kickstart their business with the support of both their parents. After this, their food truck became a major success. In the process, they fall in love without realising it, but Karthi has an engagement party a few days later, so they drift apart. After realising they love each other, they come back together through a radio show organised by Shruthi's friend Ramya. With the support of their family and friends, Karthik and Shruthi reunite successfully.

{{Short description|Secret religious group}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}

'''Paramahansa Mandali''' was a secret socio-religious group, established in 1849, in [[Bombay]] and is closely related to [[Manav Dharma Sabha]] which was found in 1844 in [[Surat]]. It was started by [[Durgaram Mehta]]ji, [[Dadoba Pandurang]] and a group of his friends. Dadoba Pandurang assumed leadership of this organisation after he left Manav Dharma Sabha. He outlined his principles in ''Dharma Vivechan'' in 1848 for Manav Dharma Sabha and "Paramhansik Bramhyadharma" for Paramahansa Mandali.<ref>Socio religious reform movements in India, Kenneth W.

It was the first socio-religious organisation of Maharashtra, founded in 1849. Its founders of these Mandli believed in one God.<ref>{{Cite book |last=O'Hanlon |first=Rosalind |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5kMrsTj1NeYC&dq=paramahansa+mandali&pg=PA100 |title=Caste, Conflict and Ideology: Mahatma Jotirao Phule and Low Caste Protest in Nineteenth-Century Western India |date=2002-08-22 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-52308-0 |language=en}}</ref> They were primarily interested in breaking caste rules. At their meetings food cooked by lower caste people was taken by the members. The Mandali also advocated women's education and widow remarriage.

[[S. S. Vasan]] of [[Gemini Studios]] and Jupiter Pictures started producing the same story under different titles almost simultaneously. However, Gemini's version titled ''Chakradhari'' was released in 1948 and was successful at the box-office. Sudharsan was delayed for reasons unknown and was released almost 3 years later in 1951. Popular Carnatic musician and playback singer [[M. L. Vasanthakumari]] was cast initially to do the character of the second wife of Gora (PUC). She left the film for undisclosed reasons after a few reels were shot. She was replaced by Mangalam of the famous Yogam-Mangalam dance duo. Likewise, A. S. A. Sami who was directing the film, was replaced by Sundar Rao Nadkarni. [[P. U. Chinnappa]] who played the male lead role, died at a young age, before the film was released.<ref name="hindu" />

== Soundtrack ==
Music was composed by [[G. Ramanathan]] and the lyrics were penned by [[Papanasam Sivan]] and [[K. D. Santhanam]]. The singing star, [[P. U. Chinnappa]] sang many songs one of which, ''Anna sedan papa…'' was a hit.<ref name="hindu" />

The production is also supported by [[Jar Pictures]], M.R. Filmworks and Media Mill. The film is set in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] and stars [[Farhaan Faasil]] and [[Ahaana Krishna]] in lead roles. It was their debut movie as hero and heroine.

==Plot ==
Steve is a college kid whose major concern in life is how to tell his childhood friend Anjali that he loves her. He has an iPhone, is on WhatsApp all the time, goes out drinking with his friends and generally lives a carefree life made all the more secure by the fact that Steve's father George is a [[Deputy Superintendent of Police]] in [[Thiruvananthapuram]].

This idyll is smashed when one day, Steve witnesses a stranger being attacked by men with scythes. Steve isn't able to stop them, but when the attackers leave their victim for dead, Steve takes the injured man to the hospital.

It's here that he realizes there is more than what meets the eye. The man he helped is from a criminal gang and it's evident that George is very unhappy that his son has got mixed up in all this.

Steve's misgivings intensify when he's called to the police station to identify the attackers in a lineup and none of the men he'd seen are in that lineup.

On his way back from the police station, Steve spots one of the scythe-wielding men in a car and decides to follow him. The man whom Steve is following, Hari, seems to be unaware of the college kid tailing him, but of course, that's not really the case. Two of Hari's men knock out Steve. When he comes to his senses, Steve finds himself bound and gagged in a room that overlooks Hari's home. Things become murkier when Hari says he's going to let Steve go and Steve realizes that Hari knows his father.

All Steve wants to do is the right and humane thing by the people he encounters, but his acts of kindness just serve to terribly muddle up the situation he is in. Steve realises George and the police force are somehow involved with the gangs and are playing sides, possibly to maintain a peaceful status quo. However, no matter how many times Steve asks, George won't explain to his son precisely how the police are handling the situations.

Inevitably, Steve realises that the bad guys have human sides and the police have terrible secrets, but no one has answers to the questions that Steve has. The more he investigates this case in which he has unwittingly become a critical pawn, the more dangerous things turn for him. Aside from Steve, no one seems blameless and yet, he is the one who seems to be suffering the most. The film ends with Steve riding his motorcycle down a street with an empty expression on his face, as another motorcycle approaches from behind and the men riding it swing a scythe at Steve's back. The frame freezes just before the scythe connects, leaving Steve's final fate ambiguous.

The film was well received by critics. [[Baradwaj Rangan]] of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "the fascinating and deeply atmospheric ''Njan Steve Lopez'', follows pretty much the same trajectory [as ''Annayum Rasoolum'']. Young man. Rebuff. Love. Spanner-throwing fate. Tangential involvement with criminals. It’s all there – but in a different form".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/thoughts-on-njan-steve-lopez-and-the-problem-with-email-interviews/article6362986.ece|title=A normal boy who does stupid things...|date=29 August 2014|work=The Hindu|first=Baradwaj|last=Rangan|author-link=Baradwaj Rangan|url-access=subscription|access-date=28 July 2025}}</ref> Aswin J Kumar of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "''Njan Steve Lopez'' is a film that will not disappoint even those who look for vigour and colour.

The lack of commercialization made it a failure in the box office. It had since gone through a series of festival circuits gaining more critical acclaim.

==Plot==
The film begins with an orthodox Brahmin Kurmavataram who greatly emphasizes traditions, customs, and beliefs. He has 4 progeny, Urmila, Subhadra, Rukmini & Raghava Rao. He also ostracizes third Rukmini for knitting a Christian Lawrence, declaring her death. After 20 years, Kurmavataram periodically backs from the inch of his life. Hence, a nurse, Radha, is appointed as his 24 / 7 caretaker who sets foot in his home.

Rambabu, Kurmavataram's grandson, whose lifetime dream is to conduct a romantic marriage, falls for Radha but pauses since his grandfather's word is an ordinance.
So, he finalizes his grandson's match with Saraswati, daughter of his distant relative Hanumantha Rao, at [[Rajamandry]]. Rambabu moves to sweetheart, the girl seen by the elders, and attempts to lure Saraswati, which fails. Indeed, Saraswati has a crush on a jolly guy named Babji, but sly Hanumantha Rao denies it as a plot to usurp the wealth knitting with Rambabu.

Meanwhile, Kurmavataram arrives along with Radha when Rambabu's romance with her flourishes again. After the preliminary of the comic trials, he triumphs in gaining her love. Startlingly, Radha unveils herself as his Rukmini aunt's daughter, divulging the past. Rambabu oaths her to aid in reforming their grandfather. Kurmavataram sees the end, conscious of it, but Rambabu stands firm. Accordingly, the duo attempts to play and mock him by various means, which raises a challenge. Radha questions the credo man whether his progeny is moving in his footsteps, who powerfully proclaims ''Yes''.

Hence, Kurmavataram advances to his daughters with Rambabu & Radha to authenticate it. Firstly, they reach Urmila, where Kurmavataram witnesses a modernistic family relinquishing his guidelines. Next, he walks to Subradra when they forge before him but break it. Thus, devastated Kurmavaratam quits, and Radha paves a path to their home on the return. Whereat, he is enthralled to spot Rukmini, who is arousing the principles taught by him. At last, Kurmavataram comprehends, after soul-searching, that ''love is the greatest piety in the world.'' Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Rambabu & Radha and Babji & Saraswati.

== History ==
The petty princely state, belonging to the [[Pandu Mehwas]] division of [[Rewa Kantha]], was ruled by [[Rajput]] Chieftains.

In 1901 it comprised only the single village, covering 1 square mile, with a population of 74, yielding 346 Rupees state revenue (1903–4, mostly from land), paying 19 Rupees tribute, to the Gaekwar [[Baroda State]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V21_297.gif |title=Imperial Gazetter of India, Volume 21, page 291 – Imperial Gazetteer of India – Digital South Asia Library |website=Dsal.uchicago.edu |date=2013-02-18 |accessdate=2017-01-18}}</ref>

[[File:Kudalasangama.jpg|upright|thumb|200px|Sangamanatha temple at [[Kudalasangama]], [[North Karnataka]]]]
The '''Kalachuris of Kalyani''', also '''Southern Kalachuris''', were a 10th-12th-century Indian dynasty, who ruled over parts of present-day northern [[Karnataka]] and [[Maharashtra]]. This dynasty rose to its peak power in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] region between 1156 and 1181.

The rulers of the dynasty traced their origins to one Krishna, who is said to have conquered [[Kalinjar]] and [[Dahala]] in present-day [[Madhya Pradesh]] (see [[Kalachuris of Tripuri]]). Bijjala, a viceroy of the dynasty, is said to have established the authority over [[Karnataka]] after wresting power from the [[Chalukya]] king Taila III. Bijjala was succeeded by his sons Someshvara and Sangama but after 1181 CE, the Chalukyas gradually retrieved the territory. Their rule was short and turbulent and yet very important from a socio-religious point of view; a new sect known as the [[Lingayat]] or [[Virashaiva]] sect was founded during these times in a time extent of 25 years.<ref name="Students' Britannica India">Students' Britannica India By Dale Hoiberg, Indu Ramchandani.</ref>

A unique and purely native form of [[Kannada]] literature-poetry called the ''Vachanas'' was also born during this time. The writers of ''[[Vachanas]]'' were called ''Vachanakaras'' (poets). Many other important works like Virupaksha Pandita's ''Chennabasavapurana'', Dharani Pandita's ''Bijjalarayacharite'' and Chandrasagara Varni's ''Bijjalarayapurana'' were also written.

==History==

===Origin===

The Kalachuris of Kalyani overthrew the [[Kalyani Chalukyas]] in the early part of the ''12th century'', and had a relatively short but stormy rule.<ref>{{cite web
|url=http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/deccan/chalukya/kalyani.htm
|title=Chalukyas of Kalyana (973- 1198 CE)
|access-date=2009-03-31
}}</ref> The name "Kalachuri" is shared by multiple earlier dynasties, two of which ruled in central India. Some historians such as Dr. P.B. Desai believe that the southern Kalachuris of Kalyani are descendants of these central Indian dynasties. In the 6th century, before the rise of the [[Chalukyas of Badami|Badami Chalukyas]], the [[Kalachuris of Mahishmati]] had carved out an extensive empire covering areas of Gujarat, [[Malwa]], [[Konkan]] and parts of Maharashtra. However, after their crippling defeat at the hands of Chalukya [[Mangalesha]], they remained in obscurity for a prolonged period of time. Subsequently, the [[Kalachuris of Tripuri]] and their branches rose to power in central India.

An 1174 CE record says the Kalyani Kalachuri dynasty was founded by one Soma who grew beard and moustache to save himself from the wrath of Parashurama, and thereafter the family came to be known as "Kalachuris", Kalli meaning a long moustache and churi meaning a sharp knife. They migrated to the south and made Magaliveda or Mangalavedhe (Mangalavada) their capital. They titled themselves Kalanjara-puravaradhisvara ("Lord of [[Kalanjara]]"), which indicates their central Indian origin. Their emblem was Suvarna Vrishabha or the golden bull. They must have started as modest feudatories of the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani]]. They were also referred to as Katachuris (shape of a sharp knife) and ''[[Haihayas|Haihaya]]'' (or ''Heheya'').

The later records of the dynasty claim that they descended from [[Brahma]], the Creator of the universe.

=== Religion===
Prof., Ramaswami Ayangar asserts:

Many Pallava and Pandya records describe how the Kalabharas attacked the Tamil country, defeated the Cholas, Cheras, and Pandyas, and established their kingdom. Prof., Ramaswami Ayangar asserts that these valiant Kalabhara kings were the devoted followers of Jainism. Basically, The Kalachuri kings were followers of [[Jainism]] He proved it on the basis of copper plate of ''Veluikundi'' and The "Pāṇḍyapurāṇam" of tamil language. Shri Ayangar presumes that the [[Kalabhra dynasty| Kalabharas]] were a branch of the Kalachuri clan and that Jainism flourished after their arrival in the Tamil country. The Kalachuri kings themselves were known supporters of Jainism, The Kalachuri kings of ''Madhya Pradesh'' were related to the Rashtrakutas through familial ties. and the [[Rashtrakutas]] were originally Jain rulers. The influence of Jainism during the reign of the Kalachuris of Kalyani was notable. The prominent king Bijjala and several of his statesmen actively patronised Jainism. Bijjala and his minister Rechmayya set up an image of the Tirthankara [[Shantinath]] at [[Shravanabelagola]].
<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/424085518/Bijjala-Kalachuris-History</ref>

===Decline===

The Southern Kaluchuri kingdom went into decline after the assassination of [[Bijjala II|Bijalla]]. The rulers who followed were weak and incompetent, with the exception of [[Sovideva]], who managed to maintain control over the kingdom. Western Chalukyas ended the Kalachuri Dynasty. Many Kalachuri families migrated to Kanara districts of Karnataka. The Kalachuris are the principal characters in the Andhra epic [[Battle of Palnadu|''Palnati Veera Charitra'']], as the in-laws of the king [[Malidevaraju]].<ref name="art">{{cite book |last1=Sadanandam |first1=P. |title=Art and Culture of Marginalised Nomadic Tribes in Andhra Pradesh |date=2008 |publisher=Gyan Publishing House |isbn=978-81-212-0958-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Nhu52oHk6r4C&dq=Palnati+Veera+Charitra&pg=PA128 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Palnati Veera Charitra |date=22 January 2003 |publisher=VENKAT RAMA & CO EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHERS |url=https://archive.org/details/palnativeerachar022033mbp}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Bommareddi |first1=Aruna |title=Narrative Traditions of a Telugu Epic: Paln?tiv?rula Katha |date=29 October 2019 |publisher=Notion Press |isbn=978-1-64678-733-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AMW5DwAAQBAJ&dq=Malidevaraju&pg=PT20 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="mudiraja2">{{cite web |title=43.

=== Vodafone-Hutchison tax case ===
The long-standing tax dispute between Vodafone and the Indian government, stemming from the 2007 acquisition of Hutchison Essar, reached a final resolution in 2021 following international arbitration and legislative reform.

==== International Arbitration (2020) ====
In 2014, Vodafone initiated arbitration under the [[India–Netherlands relations|India–Netherlands]] Bilateral Investment Treaty, contesting the 2012 retrospective tax amendment. On 25 September 2020, the [[Permanent Court of Arbitration]] (PCA) ruled unanimously in favour of Vodafone, stating that the tax demand was a breach of the guarantee of "fair and equitable treatment."<ref name="PCA_IPL">{{cite web |last=Lad |first=Gargi |title=Vodafone Idea arbitration case - iPleaders |url=https://blog.ipleaders.in |website=iPleaders |date=2024-05-20 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref> The tribunal directed India to cease its recovery efforts for the approximately ₹22,100 crore demand.<ref name="PCA_IPL" />

==== Repeal of Retrospective Tax (2021) ====
Following the arbitration award and similar international rulings, the Indian Parliament passed the '''Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021'''. This legislation effectively repealed the 2012 retrospective tax for transactions involving the indirect transfer of Indian assets executed before May 2012.<ref name="PIB_TAX">{{cite web |title=The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2021 |url=https://www.pib.gov.in |publisher=Press Information Bureau |date=2021-10-01 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref> The law nullified all pending tax demands and provided for the refund of collected taxes without interest, contingent on companies withdrawing all related litigation against the state.<ref name="TCCLR_TAX">{{cite web |title=Scrapping of Retrospective Tax Laws |url=https://www.tcclr.com |website=TCCLR |date=2022-11-06 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref>

==== Final Closure (2025) ====
In November 2025, the Income Tax Department officially closed the final chapter of the dispute by withdrawing its remaining ₹8,500-crore transfer pricing case against Vodafone India Services before the [[Supreme Court of India]].<ref name="MINT_VOD">{{cite news |title=Income tax department withdraws ₹8,500-crore transfer pricing case against Vodafone |url=https://www.livemint.com |work=Mint |date=2025-11-03 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref><ref name="ANGEL_VOD">{{cite web |title=Income Tax Department Drops ₹8,500 Crore Transfer Pricing Case |url=https://www.angelone.in |website=Angel One |date=2025-11-05 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref> The withdrawal followed judicial developments regarding adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liabilities, marking the end of nearly two decades of litigation.<ref name="CAALLEY">{{cite web |title=I-T drops ₹8,500-crore transfer pricing case |url=https://www.caalley.com |website=CAalley |date=2025-11-04 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref>

===Merger with Idea Cellular and rebranding===
The entry of [[Jio]] in 2016 led to significant consolidation in the Indian telecom sector.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.livemint.com/Industry/rws5uR2FeOti3o3nU7AirL/The-shakeup-in-Indias-telecom-sector.html|title=The shakeup in India's telecom sector|last=Raj|first=Amrit|date=2017-10-21|work=www.livemint.com|access-date=2018-04-21}}</ref> Following the March 2017 announcement, Vodafone India and [[Idea Cellular]] completed their merger on 31 August 2018, forming [[Vodafone Idea]].<ref name="NCLT nod">{{cite news |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/nclt-gives-go-ahead-to-idea-vodafone-merger/articleshow/65616161.cms |title=NCLT gives go-ahead to Idea-Vodafone merger |last1=Parbat |first1=Kalyan |date=2018-08-31 |work=The Economic Times |access-date=2018-09-01}}</ref> On 7 September 2020, the company rebranded its unified entity as '''Vi''' (pronounced "we").<ref name="VI_REBRAND">{{cite news |title=Vodafone Idea re-brands itself 'Vi' |url=https://indianexpress.com |work=The Indian Express |date=7 September 2020 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref>

====Shareholding and Government Intervention====
While the company was initially a joint venture between Vodafone Group (45.5%) and [[Aditya Birla Group]] (26%), its ownership structure changed drastically due to financial distress related to Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues.

In early 2023, the [[Government of India]] (GoI) converted ₹16,133 crore of interest dues into a 33.1% equity stake.<ref name="REUTERS_GOI">{{cite news |title=India asks Vodafone Idea to convert nearly $2 bln in govt dues into equity |url=https://www.reuters.com |work=Reuters |date=3 February 2023 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref> By April 2025, the government further increased its stake to **48.99%** by converting an additional ₹36,950 crore of spectrum and AGR dues into equity, making it the single largest shareholder.<ref name="GOI_49">{{cite web |title=Govt Stake In Vodafone Idea Rises To 49% |url=https://www.angelone.in/news/share-market/government-to-cap-stake-in-vodafone-idea-at-49-percent-confirms-telecom-minister |website=Angel One |date=3 July 2025 |access-date=2026-02-27}}</ref>

As of February 2026, the shareholding pattern is as follows:

Despite its large stake, the government has officially stated it has no plans to intervene in management or increase its holding beyond 49%.<ref name="MC_GOI_49" />

'''Maghval''', also known as '''Megwal''' and '''Meghwad''', is a village in the [[Kaparada taluka]] of [[Valsad district]] in [[Gujarat]] State, [[India]]. It is a small [[enclave and exclave|counterenclave]] belonging to Gujarat, just south of [[Silvassa]] within [[Nagar Haveli]] which is an enclave in Gujarat and part of the [[India]]n [[union territory]] of [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu]].

In January 2022, the government of India announced plans for the Maghval enclave to become part of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu alongside 3 other villages (which were sometimes isolated from the rest of Gujarat, but not from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, by monsoon floods). This would allow the sale of alcohol in the villages, as alcohol [[Alcohol prohibition in India|is restricted in Gujarat]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/4-gujarat-villages-will-no-more-be-dry/articleshow/89004297.cms|title=4 Gujarat villages will no more be dry |website=[[The Times of India]] |date=20 January 2022 |access-date=14 March 2024}}</ref> This process was later deferred.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-06-14 |title=Merger of four Gujarat villages with Dadra deferred |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/merger-of-four-gujarat-villages-with-dadra-deferred/articleshow/92191058.cms |access-date=2023-10-17 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

==Geography==
Maghval, though under the administrative purview of Gujarat, is surrounded by the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (DNHDD), outside the state boundary and a few kilometres from Silvassa in DNHDD. The village with 2,160 villagers (as of February 2018) has a rich landscape with the [[Daman Ganga River]] cutting through it, leaving a hilly stretch on one side and plains on the other.

==History==
Formerly "Bombay Enclave", Maghval was a British counter-enclave within the [[Portuguese India|Portuguese enclave]] within [[British India]] until independence.<ref>{{cite web|title= Megubaru, Former British territory, India |url=

'''Tughlakabad''' village is one of the oldest urban villages in the [[South East Delhi district|South East]] District of [[New Delhi]]. The village is named after [[Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq|Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq]] and is located in the shadows of the 700-year-old ruins of [[Tughlaqabad Fort]].

==History==
During the construction of [[Tughlaqabad Fort]] in 1321, [[Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq]] encountered a conflict with the revered Sufi saint [[Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya]]. While the ruler sought to mobilise all labourers for his fort's construction, many were also working on a stepwell (baoli) in nighttime for Nizamuddin at his residence. In an effort to compel the workers to abandon the baoli project, Tughlaq banned the sale of [[kerosene]], aiming to prevent them from lighting lamps at night.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Sharma |first=Nikita |date=2020-01-04 |title=Tughlaqabad Fort: a monumental example of a curse realised |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/Jan/04/tughlaqabad-fort-a-monumental-example-of-a-curse-realised-2084921.html |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=जानिये इस किले के रहस्य को, जिसे मिला था श्राप- ‘या रहे उजाड़ या बसे गुर्जर’ - |url=https://www.jagran.com/delhi/new-delhi-city-ncr-read-about-ghiyasuddin-tughlaqs-dynasty-jagran-special-18622626.html |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=Jagran |language=hi}}</ref>

Angered by the ruler's actions, Nizamuddin Auliya pronounced a curse: "''Ya rahe ujjar, ya base Gujjar''," meaning "Either it remains a ruin or may the nomadic and peasant [[Gurjars|Gujjars]] live there."<ref name=":1" />

During a military campaign in [[Bengal]], Tughlaq learned that laborers at his newly constructed Fort were defying his orders by working on the (baoli). He vowed to punish the saint upon his return to Delhi. In response, Nizamuddin Auliya remarked, "''Hunuz Dilli dur ast''," meaning "Delhi is still far off," suggesting that the Sultan's plans would be thwarted.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-13 |title=Tughlaqabad Fort: Know about the lesser-known historical monument in Delhi which was once cursed |url=https://www.news9live.com/knowledge/tughlaqabad-fort-the-lesser-known-historical-monument-in-delhi-which-was-once-cursed-2575474 |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=News9live |language=en-US}}</ref>

As the curse began to take effect, Tughlaq and his younger son met a tragic fate on their journey back. A pavilion, erected to celebrate the Sultan's military success, collapsed, resulting in their deaths. This incident underscored the belief that Nizamuddin's curse had manifested, leading to the eventual abandonment of Tughlaqabad Fort shortly after its completion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tughlaqabad: A Cursed Fort |url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/snippets/tughlaqabad-cursed-fort |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241218122630/https://indianculture.gov.in/snippets/tughlaqabad-cursed-fort |archive-date=2024-12-18 |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=INDIAN CULTURE |language=en}}</ref>

'''Tangsa''', also known as '''Tase''' and '''Tase Naga''', is a [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan]] language or [[language cluster]] spoken by the [[Tangsa people]] of [[Burma]] and north-eastern [[India]]. Some varieties, such as Shangge (Shanke<ref>Shintani, Tadahiko. 2015. ''The Shanke language''. Linguistic survey of Tay cultural area (LSTCA) no. 104. Tokyo: Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa (ILCAA).</ref>), are likely distinct languages. There are about 60,000 speakers in Burma and 40,000 speakers in India. The dialects of Tangsa have disparate levels of lexical similarity, ranging from 35%–97%.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2016 |title=Myanmar |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/country/MM/languages |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010180533/http://www.ethnologue.com/country/MM/languages |archive-date=2016-10-10 |website=Ethnologue: Languages of the World}}</ref>

==Geographical distribution==
Tangsa is spoken in the following locations of [[Myanmar]]:<ref name=e25/>

In 1990, Mr. Lakhum Mossang from Namphai Nong, Arunachal Pradesh in India created an alphabet for the Tangsa language. He taught the alphabet in public events and festivals, and promoted the script with community organisations and schools. In 2021, there were about 100 people who are using the script.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tangsa Alphabet and Language |url=https://www.omniglot.com/writing/tangsa.htm |website=Omniglot |access-date=4 March 2021}}</ref> The Tangsa Script Development Committee was founded in 2019 and continues development of the script after the passing of Lakhum Mossang in order ensure accommodation to the wide range of Tangsa varieties spoken in the region. The script has not yet gained widespread adoption.

Beyond the use of Lakhum Mossang's script, Tangsa varieties are generally written in the Latin alphabet with multiple different spelling conventions in use. One such Roman orthography is that for Mossang, designed by Reverend Gam Win and used in the Mossang translation of the Bible. Different Roman orthographies are in use among different subtribes, often with considerable variation. These differences tend to follow Christian denominational divisions.

The Gam Win Romanization for Mossang is as follows:

=== Tonal vowels ===
Each vowel of the Tangsa alphabet notes a combination representing one of 11 phonemic base vowels:<ref name="Tangsa Alphabet and Language">{{cite web |title=Tangsa Alphabet and Language |url=https://www.omniglot.com/writing/tangsa.htm |website=Omniglot |access-date=5 March 2021}}</ref>

| ''-q'' || [ˀ] ||style="text-align:left"| ''thuic htaq'' (voice-break/cut) - short, final glottal stop<ref name="Tangsa Alphabet and Language"/>

As well, the Tangsa alphabet includes a few additional separate letters for distinctive tonal vowels:

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|-
| ''-ng'' || [ŋ] ||style="text-align:left"| (final) - modifier written after the base vowel+tone

=== Consonants ===
Unlike Brahmic-derived abugidas most often used for languages in India and Burma, the 31 consonants of the Tangsa alphabet (used to write Sino-Tibetan languages and not Brahmic-based languages) don't carry any inherent vowel:<ref name="Tangsa Alphabet and Language"/>

'''''Maat''''' ({{langx|ur|{{nastaliq|مات}}|lit=Defeat}}) is a Pakistani television series that premiered on [[Hum TV]] on 9 September 2011. The series is based on an Urdu novel of the same name by [[Umera Ahmad]]. It stars [[Saba Qamar]] and [[Aamina Sheikh]] as the contrasting sisters who take divergent paths driven by their choices and actions. The last episode of the series was telecasted on 24 February 2012.

''Maat'' garnered mixed critical response, with praise for the leads' performances, but criticism for lacking nuance. The series earned numerous award nominations, including four at the [[12th Lux Style Awards]] and five at the [[1st Hum Awards]], where it won [[Hum Award for Best Writer Drama Serial|Best Writer]].

==Plot==

''Maat'' follows the contrasting lives of two sisters, Aiman and Saman, from a lower-middle-class family. Aiman, the elder, is polite and respectful toward her elders, while the younger Saman is ambitious and believes she can defeat (“maat”) anyone to achieve her desires.

Their cousin Faisal, engaged to Aiman, becomes infatuated with Saman’s beauty. Though Saman initially rejects him, she changes her mind after his financial situation improves, and they marry. The marriage is strained by Saman’s demanding nature, though the couple have a son, Hadeed. Unable to manage her responsibilities, Saman relies on Aiman to care for Hadeed.

Saman begins an affair with Faisal’s business partner, Azar, who is wealthier than her husband. After Faisal slaps her during an argument, Saman files for divorce and later marries Azar, leaving her family disheartened. Aiman eventually marries Faisal so that Hadeed will have a maternal figure.

Twenty-five years later, Faisal is a wealthy businessman and Hadeed, now 27, is also successful. Following Azar’s death, Saman resumes a relationship with Faisal. He decides to leave Aiman, offering her financial support and falsely claiming that Hadeed wants Saman back in their lives. Distraught, Aiman departs, while Faisal remarries Saman.

Hadeed discovers the truth, condemns both Faisal and Saman for their selfishness, and brings Aiman to live with him. Initially reluctant, Aiman accepts, recognizing that Hadeed was not responsible for his parents’ actions.

Four years later, Hadeed is married with a son, and Aiman lives peacefully with his family. Saman contacts her by phone, expressing regret for her and Faisal’s choices. Aiman forgives them but reminds Saman that their unhappiness was the result of their own actions. With this, she hangs up, happy to have finally given ''maat'' to Saman, after all.

Tirucochi: new article

{{WikiProject status|semi-active|parent=Religion|sc1=WP:JAIN}}

Welcome to '''WikiProject Jainism'''. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of [[Jainism]] and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please [[#Participants|join]] the project, inquire on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jainism|talk page]] and see the [[#Open tasks|to-do list]] below.


== Goals ==
*Tagging all articles'talk pages relating to Jainism with the {{tl|WikiProject Jainism}} and assisting in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism/Assessment|assessment]] of the project's articles.
*Improving Jainism or any Jainism related pages.
*Checking the [http://tools.wmflabs.org/catscan2/catscan2.php?depth=200&categories=Jainism&show_redirects=no&sortby=date&sortorder=descending&doit=1 recent changes] for any recent improvements, other changes, or vandalism to those articles.

'''Panju Island''' is an [[estuary|estuarine]] island in the [[Vasai Creek]] just north of [[Mumbai]], India. The island is used by the [[Western Railway Zone (India)|Western Railway]] to connect the island of [[Salsette Island|Salsette]] with the mainland at [[Vasai]]. It is located at {{coord|19.333|N|72.85|E|region:IN_type:isle}} with a maximum elevation of 1 m (3 ft) .

== Early relations with railway ==
The Suburban line trains move over the island while passing through the Vasai Creek between Bhayandar and Naigaon. The creek is traversed by two railway bridges in two sections, Northern and Southern. One can also see another bridge, now unused, on the western side of the left bridge. This Bassein bridge was built between 1923 and 1926/1927 as a replacement to an existing bridge from 1864, which had become old and weak by then.

The original Bassein bridges were opened in 1864, the same year the first train service began from Grant Rd to Ahmedabad. They served for a while, after which they were found weak for the increasing loads. Hence between 1896 and 1902, it was deemed necessary to replace the bridges. The girders were strengthened, but still were unable to cope with the increasing traffic. Speed restrictions were imposed,15 mph for locals, and 8 mph for through trains.

Finally, preliminary construction works were started in the beginning of 1920, and the preparatory works were started in 1923 for a new bridge, 120 ft east of the old bridges. The design of the original 1864 bridge was kept. The work, though with delays, was completed soon after 1926. This is the old bridge seen today.

Panju Island was an important base of operations for the construction of that bridge, housing utilities like a stacking yard, power house, stores, etc. Further, it allowed the division of the construction into two segments, north and south from the island.<ref>''Crossing the Rivers-''BB&CI Magazine 1924 https://wr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1393922426595-article3.pdf</ref>

A 1924 BB&CI Magazine, about various bridges along the company line. See from pg. 3, for a description of the old Bassein bridges - [https://wr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1393922426595-article3.pdf]

Panju was also listed as one of the stations on the first Suburban service of BB&CI, that commenced on 12 April 1867. A station of the island's name can also be seen in a train graph printed in a 1923 BB&CI Magazine.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Archived copy | url=https://wr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1392817679390-article1.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140726032050/http://www.wr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/uploads/files/1392817679390-article1.pdf | archive-date=2014-07-26}}</ref> According to this, the station was in operation at least into the mid-1920s, and might have been demolished later. It is likely to be just a stopover with a cabin, rather than a full fledged station.
