'''Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics''' ('''RIASM''') is the [[Academic department|Department]] of [[Mathematics]] of [[University of Madras]]. This name was adopted in 1967.<ref name=About>{{cite web|title=About the Department|url=http://www.unom.ac.in/index.php?route=department/department/about&deptid=48|publisher=University of Madras|access-date=1 March 2014}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Srinivasa Ramanujan - OPC - 1.jpg|thumb|[[Srinivasa Ramanujan]] (1887-1920)]]
The University of Madras was incorporated in 1857 and the Department of Mathematics was an integral part of the university from its beginning. The department developed from its early years to become a centre of research in mathematics with the appointment of [[R. Vaidyanathaswamy]] as a Reader in Mathematics in 1927.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Life and Work |url=https://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/newnow/riasm.htm |access-date=2023-01-22 |website=www.imsc.res.in}}</ref>

The seeds of the Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics were sown when the "Ramanujan Institute of Mathematics" was established by [[Alagappa Chettiar]] on 26 January 1950 as a memorial to the mathematician [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]]. It was governed by the Asoka Charitable Trust, [[Karaikudi]], and was located at Krishna Vilas, [[Vepery]], [[Chennai]]. The Ramanujan Institute of Mathematics was inaugurated by A. Lakshmanaswamy Mudaliar, [[Vice Chancellor]] of University of Madras, with [[T. Vijayaraghavan]], a student of [[G.H. Hardy]], as Director of the Institute. The institute faced a financial crisis when, in 1956, Asoka Charitable Trust expressed its inability to run the institute. However, due to the request from [[Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] took an initiative in such a way the management of the institute came to be vested with the University of Madras and the institute was taken over by the university in May 1957.

The Asoka charitable Trust Started Ramanujan Institute of Mathematics in January, 1950 and as the Institute found itself in financial difficulties, Government of India agreed in 1953-54 to meet the expenses of a chair for Mathematics at the Institute Object to the condition that the Trust Would continue to spend the amount Previously spent by it for the activity of the Institute. Grants of 18,000 for each year were given the Institute for the years 1953-54 and 1994-55, but the audited accounts of the Institute revealed that the Trust was not fulfilling the condition of the Government grant and had instead built up a Reserve Fund. No Government grant was therefore paid in 1965-56 Towards the close of 1956, the Trust decided to close down the Institute, but as a result of discussions with the Government of India, Initiated by the founder of the Trust and the Vice-Chancellor of the Madras University, and later earned on by the Vice-Chancellor, it has been agreed that in view of the difficulty of
manning an Institute with the limited number of available Professors of the requisite quality, the activities of the Institute may be continued in the Department of Mathematics in the University of Madras It has been decided to create a Ramanujam Professorship of Mathematics on a scale of Rs 1,000—1,500 with selection grade up to Rs 1,700 and attach the existing permanent research staff of the Institute to the said Professor The Government of India will give the necessary grants to the University to enable them to carry out this arrangement until such time as the University Grants Commission sanctions an appropriate grant.<ref>https://eparlib.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1766/1/lsd_02_07_11-04-1959.pdf page 16</ref> During the short period of existence, the institute had a string of prominent mathematicians as visitors, including [[S.S. Pillai]], noted number theorist, V. Ganapathy Iyer, analyst and [[Norbert Wiener]]. After the demise of T. Vijayaraghavan in 1955, C.T. Rajagopal took over as the Director of the Institute.

From 1957 to 1966, the Department of Mathematics and the Ramanujan Institute of Mathematics functioned as independent bodies under the University of Madras.<ref>http://riasm.unom.ac.in/index.html Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, University of Madras, Chennai - Background</ref>

In 1967 the [[University Grants Commission (India)]] proposed to make the Department of Mathematics of the University of Madras into one of its Centres of Advanced Study. In the same year these two institutions were amalgamated to form a UGC Centre for Advanced Study in Mathematics and named the center as the "Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics" (RIASM).

[[C.T. Rajagopal]] was appointed the first Director of the Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, and when he retired in 1969, the reins were taken over by T.S. Bhanumurthy.

==Ramanujan Museum==
Utilising a grant of Rs. 1 lakh received as UGC Special Assistance for Equipment and with the help of the Vikram A. Sarabhai Community Science Centre, [[Ahmedabad]] a Mathematical Laboratory was established in the institute.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ramanujanmuseum.org/ |title=Home |website=ramanujanmuseum.org}}</ref> About 65 mathematical models were acquired under the scheme. These models were exhibited

* for the participants of several Refresher Courses conducted through the Academic Staff College of the University of Madras,
* at the Silver Jubilee conference of the Association of Mathematics Teachers of India held at Madras during 10–13 January 1991,
* in the Science Exhibition held at National Institute of Technology, [[Tiruchirapalli]] during 10–14 July 1991, and
* are being lent to be exhibited in several schools in and around [[Chennai]].

Later the institute received an amount of Rs. 2 lakh from the [[National Board for Higher Mathematics]], Rs. 1 lakh from ''[[The Hindu]]'' newspaper and Rs. 9 lakh from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Government of India, and a matching grant of Rs. 9 lakh from the University of Madras. The amount was used to establish the Ramanujan Museum in the premises of the Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics. A grant of rupees one crore was later sanctioned by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, towards the establishment of Ramanujan Museum and Research Centre.

== Twists ==
=== Phones ===
For the first time in the seventeen-year history of Bigg Boss, housemates are allowed to use phones during this season. Bigg Boss provided each housemate with a smartphone where they can receive messages from Bigg Boss and communicate with other housemates when permitted. However, only the "Baaharwala" has access to feedback from the outside world.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Bigg Boss OTT 3: Anil Kapoor reveals mobile phones are allowed in the house but with a TWIST |newspaper=The Times of India |date=21 June 2024 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/bigg-boss-ott-3-anil-kapoor-reveals-mobile-phones-are-allowed-in-the-house-but-with-a-twist/articleshow/111173929.cms#}}</ref>

=== Baaharwala ===
On the premiere day, Anil Kapoor introduced the "Baaharwala" twist, where one housemate would be designated as the "Baaharwala". This person would receive information and feedback from the outside world until being fired by Bigg Boss. The "Baaharwala” would possess special powers and be immune from evictions, even if they were nominated.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/bigg-boss-ott-3-launch-live-updates-bigg-boss-ott-3-contestants-anil-kapoor-hosted-bigg-boss-ott-season-3-live-news/liveblog/111164894.cms | title=Bigg Boss OTT 3 Launch Highlights: Bigg Boss announces there are 15 contestants and one 'baharwala' | website=[[The Times of India]] | date=22 June 2024 }}</ref>

On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for eviction by tearing their respective black and white photos in the Photo Lab, which was set up in the Activity Area.
|-
| After the housemates cast their votes, the nominated housemates were Deepak, Ranvir, Sai, and Sana S. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist by only accepting the nominees chosen by the "Baaharwala"—Neeraj and Shivani—ultimately placing them in the final nomination list.
|-
| Neeraj and Shivani were nominated for first-week, mid-week eviction.
|-
|'''Nominations Ki Aawaaz'''
On Day 6, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for eviction by saying names to tree near store room by crossing pool after which name would be echoed in house.
|-
| Bigg Boss granted Bahaarwala contestant Sana Sultaan the power to revoke the nomination rights of three contestants prior to the nomination process. Sana chose to remove the nomination rights of Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, preventing them from participating in that week's nomination process.

|'''Aaj Ka Mudda with Deepak Chaurasia'''
On Day 2, a debate took place among six housemates. The topic of discussion was centered around the contributions and participation of Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj in the show. Ranvir, Sai, and Sana S were assigned the role of questioning the involvement of these three housemates in the house's matters, essentially acting as the "prosecuting" side in this debate format. The defendants, Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj, answered questions and countered the arguments brought forth by the "prosecuting" side. The remaining housemates formed the audience and were permitted to question each speaker as well. Deepak moderated the debate.

| '''Ration task - rankings'''
On Day 4, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn ration for the house by determining rankings from 1 to 16 based on each contestant's contribution to the show. However, as the housemates were unable to provide logical reasons for each ranking and appeared to be in a hurry, Bigg Boss decided to cancel the task midway. Additionally, Bigg Boss pointed out that the rankings suggested by the housemates did not align with the rankings determined by the live audience.
|-
! ''Task Cancelled''
|-
| '''BB Pet Care'''
On Day 5, a task was announced for assigning house duties, turning housemates into caretakers of pets. Housemates would earn points during the task, which could be used to purchase favorable house duties. In each round, three housemates would assume the role of caretakers, and a manager would assess their performance, awarding points that could be exchanged for house duty assignments. At the conclusion of the task, the names displayed on the board next to each duty would be considered final for the week.

| '''Magical well'''
On Day 7, a magical well was placed in the activity area, offering housemates the opportunity to make a wish that could potentially be granted. To be eligible, the wishes had to be feasible within the confines of the house. Whenever a frog situated in the well made a sound, the activity area would be accessible, allowing one housemate to enter at a time. In order to make a wish, the housemates needed to sacrifice a personal item belonging to another contestant in the well. The number of wishes each housemate could make was directly proportional to the number of personal items they were willing to sacrifice.
|-
! Wishes were only made by Armaan, Lovekesh, Ranvir, Shivani and Vishal.
|-
| '''Curse Ka Kasht'''
On Day 9, all housemates were individually called to the confession room, where they were asked to declare to whom they wanted to give a curse that would cause them pain.
|-
| Curse of Ranvir was granted which was to take away all hair grooming products of Vishal until Bigg Boss gives again.
|-
!Punishments
|
* On Days 1 and 2, the housemates consumed all the ration provided by Bigg Boss that was intended to last for a week. In response to this miscalculation, Bigg Boss provided additional fruits on Day 3 to ensure sufficient supplies for the remainder of the week.
* On Day 4, as a result of the housemates' unsuccessful attempt at the rankings task, Bigg Boss provided an additional supply of ration to the housemates, ensuring they had adequate resources for the following seven days.
* On Day 7, following the completion of the Magical Well task, Bigg Boss requested that five housemates nominate two housemates who would be subject to punishment. Ranvir and Shivani were ultimately chosen for the penalty, which involved holding their ears and continuously circling the well desk in the living area while saying, "Mere Pyaare Ghar Waalo, Mujhe Maaf Kardo" (Translation: "My dear housemates, please forgive me"). The punishment continued until Bigg Boss announced it to be over. However, as the punishments were not fully carried out, Bigg Boss refrained from fulfilling any wishes made by the housemates during the task.

| '''Ration task - BB Puppet Making Factory'''
On Day 11, a puppet show was set up in the garden area. Bigg Boss assigned three puppet masters, Ranvir, Vishal, and Shivani, who made puppets of housemates and created short shows to entertain the audience. The three puppet masters carried out their individual puppet shows. Other housemates were workers at the BB puppet making factory who made puppets for their favorite puppet master by taking material from the slide. Deepak assessed this task, quality checking all puppets, and whichever puppet master had five approved puppets would get time for shows according to the number of puppets.
|-
| The live audience served as judges and cast their votes to help their favorite puppet master win. After declaring the results, Vishal came first and won the premium ration for the house, where he had to choose any six items from a list. Shivani came second and won the regular ration for the house, where she had to choose any five items from the list. Ranvir came third and won the basic ration for the house, where he had to choose any four items from the list.

| '''Stepper Chase'''
On Day 12, Bigg Boss informed the housemates that the results for the midweek eviction had arrived, with Chandrika, Munisha, and Poulomi in the bottom three, and Munisha and Poulomi in the bottom two. However, the results had not been finalized as the Baaharwala would decide whom to evict from the bottom two. The bottom two could be changed if any housemate kept moving on the stepper in fire ring for one hour, as live voting would be opened for the bottom three once again. If the stepper kept running for one hour, the results of the one-hour live voting would be considered; if it kept running for two hours, the results of the two-hour live voting would be considered; and if it kept running for three hours, the results of the three-hour live voting would be considered. Until the stepper moved, the bottom three would remain on the hill.
|-
| The housemates continuously moved the stepper for three hours, and after the live voting results were considered, the bottom two housemates remained the same as in the previous voting round.
|-
| '''Kaun Hai Baaharwala?'''
On Day 14, Bigg Boss instructed the housemates to find the Baaharwala among them by giving a task. The housemates had to choose two detectives among them who would be given the chance to interrogate three suspects among other housemates who they think could be the Baaharwala. The interrogation would take place for the time during which other housemates would have to perform certain other tasks. At the end, the detectives had to announce their verdict of their investigation that who is the Baaharwala.
|-
| The housemates chose Armaan and Sana M as the detectives who chose Chandrika, Shivani and Vishal as their suspects and Vishal bhabhi lover as their choice for the Baaharwala which was wrong. This resulted in Baaharwala Lovekesh's retention as Baaharwala.

'''Nomination notes'''
* {{note|1|1}}: On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist, which meant that only the nominations made by the ''Baaharwala'', Sana S were accepted and finalized.
* {{note|2|2}}: On Day 6, Bigg Boss instructed the ''Baaharwala'', Sana S, to choose three housemates who would be exempt from the nomination process. The ''Bahaarwaala'' selected Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, rendering them ineligible to vote in the upcoming eviction proceedings. Following this decision, each housemate was then required to nominate two other contestants for eviction.
* {{note|3|3}}: On Day 6, Sana S was removed from her role as the ''Baaharwala'', as discreetly announced by Bigg Boss.
* {{note|4|4}}: On Day 9, Sai's wish to save Armaan and Deepak from nominations was granted. He was immuned from the nominations but he gave up his power of ''Baaharwala'' to save Sana S from nominations.
* {{note|5|5}}: On Day 10, housemates were required to nominate in pairs with another housemate. They had the option of choosing between two other housemates, one whom they wanted to save and one whom they wanted to nominate for eviction. If the pair couldn't reach a mutual agreement on a decision, the pair itself would be nominated, and both of their options would be directly saved.
* {{note|6|6}}: On Day 12, live voting was opened for three hours to determine the bottom two among the bottom three housemates. Once the voting period concluded, the ''Baaharwala'', Lovekesh, made the final decision on whom to evict from the bottom two.
* {{note|7|7}}: On Day 13, Bigg Boss granted the ''Baaharwala'', Lovekesh, the right to allot a certain number of nomination rights to all the housemates, ranging from one to six. After receiving their respective nomination rights, the housemates proceeded to make their nominations.
* {{note|8|8}}: On Day 16, Munisha Khatwani and Sana S were declared as the bottom two contestants. The housemates, excluding Munisha and Sana S, had to vote to evict one of them from the Bigg Boss house.
* {{note|9|9}}: On Day 16, host Anil Kapoor announced the nomination of Armaan Malik for the remainder of the season as a consequence of his act of physical violence towards fellow housemate Vishal Pandey.
* {{note|10|10}}: On Day 17, each housemate received two letters to write to two fellow housemates, granting them immunity from nominations.
* {{note|11|11}}: On Day 19, ''Baaharwala'', Lovekesh saved all nominated contestants by sacrificing half of the ration of that week.
* {{note|12|12}}: On Day 19, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
* {{note|13|13}}: On Day 24, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
* {{note|14|14}}: On Day 25, Bigg Boss cancelled the nominations for that week and directly nominated Adnaan as a punishment for his lack of participation in the Baaharwala Gang's eviction decision, which involved choosing a housemate from the nominated contestants.
* {{note|15|15}}: On Day 26, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Armaan where he could nominate four more housemates along with him and Adnaan who were nominated by Bigg Boss as punishment while Ranvir got nomination power by winning power of vetto where he could nominate one more housemate for eviction.
* {{note|16|16}}: On Day 31, all housemates had to count 13 minutes in pair allocated by Bigg Boss. A pair who will be far from count of 13 minutes will be evicted directly.
* {{note|17|17}}: On Day 33, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Ranvir where he could nominate three housemates as well as Bigg Boss asked Ranvir whether he wanted to save Armaan or not while Armaan would be replaced by other housemate.
* {{note|18|18}}: On Day 34, Bigg Boss asked all housemates to nominate one nominated housemate in secret ballot who would be evicted in weekend.
* {{note|19|19}}: On Day 38, two teams competed against each other comprising three housemates. At the end, whichever team loses task, all its members will be nominated for eviction.
* {{note|20|20}}: On Day 40, Bigg Boss asked each housemate to nominate one housemate from nominated category who should be evicted.
* {{note|21|21}}: On Day 40, All housemates were nominated for winning the season.

==Reception==
The series premiere episode was reviewed by Grace Cyril for ''[[Times Now]]''. She wrote, "Once a powerhouse of entertainment, this season seems to have started on dull note. The High-voltage drama fell flat largely, making it a snooze fest."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/tv/bigg-boss-ott-3-premiere-review-more-zzzs-than-omgs-but-anil-kapoor-takes-the-crown-article-111175070 | title=Bigg Boss OTT 3 Premiere Review: More ZZZ's Than OMGs but Anil Kapoor Takes the Crown | date=22 June 2024 }}</ref>

''[[Pratidin Time]]'' wrote, "While Kapoor exuded his signature suave charm, attempts to engage the audience fell short, perhaps due to peculiar editing choices that diluted the impact, evident in the disjointed laughter track. Even the introduction of the first contestant, the Vada Pav Girl, lacked the anticipated punch."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.pratidintime.com/entertainment/bigg-boss-ott-season-3-review | title=Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 Review | date=22 June 2024 | access-date=30 June 2024 | archive-date=30 June 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240630031535/https://www.pratidintime.com/entertainment/bigg-boss-ott-season-3-review | url-status=live }}</ref>

'''Kairûma''' (1852-22 February 1912) was a Mizo chief of the eastern [[Lushai Hills]] (now [[Mizoram]]). He was the son of [[Vuta|Vûta]]. He participated in the [[East-West War of the Lushai Hills|{{lang|lus|Chhak Leh Thlang Indo|cat=no}}]] and the [[Lushai Rising]] where he was the last chief to resist British rule.

==Early life==
Kairûma was born in 1852 before his father, Vûta, had moved to the settlement of Buanhmun and ignited the [[North-South War of the Lushai Hills|{{lang|lus|Chhim Leh Hmar Indo|cat=no}}]] ({{translation|North-South War}}). His youth was spent being raised in the village of Rullama. During this time, he met a girl named Darkungi of the Vancheng clan, whom he wished to marry but was unable to. As a result, he instead married a Hauhnar girl known as Thangpuilali. His father Vûta died during his stay in Rullama and he remained there with his family for a further six years before migrating.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=93}} Kairûma crossed the Tuichang River and settled the village of Khawlêrh.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=94}}
==Chieftainship==
===East-West War===
Early in his chieftainship, Kairûma experienced the East-West War between his uncles. Kairûma's father, Vûta's family sided with Mangpawrha in the west against the family of [[Lalsavunga]] and Lallianvunga. Lalsavunga's family such as [[Vanhnuailiana]] had been expanding their settlements. Vanhnuailiana's son, Liankhama was arranged to a girl but Khalkam wished to take her hand instead. This heightened tensions for the eastern Lushais who were now ready to invade the western family of [[Suakpuilala]] with justification.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=95}}

[[Vanhnuailiana]]'s family began to migrate closer west and this began to raise tensions over land ownership and jhum cultivation rights.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=95}} The war escalated when Chief [[Lianphunga]] of the west used firearms during a dispute with an eastern chief hence beginning the war.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=97}} Kairûma was observant of the skirmishes occurring and sent a war party to Hmuntha but two men were ambushed and killed and thus recalled. Chief [[Lalburha]] planned an attack on Kairûma which was relayed to him by two water fetchers of an impending war party.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=99}} Kairûma fortified the entrance with a stockade, but the party ambushed from the outskirts of the settlements and massacred seven people. Kairûma vowed revenge. His brother, Chief Lungliana of Hmawngkawn, was offered a peace deal which was rejected on behalf of Kairûma's revenge.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=100}} As the war dragged on, Kairûma reluctantly accepted peace.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=101}}

Kairûma continued to migrate north and settled in the Sialhawk ranges, where rice production was high. Kairûma's son, Liankanglova, also grew up and inherited his own village separate from him.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=101}}

===Laltuaka conflict===
Laltuaka's descendants, who had been subjugated by Kairûma's father, Vûta, had one descendant still in rule known as Chief Thawmpuia. Kairûma and his brother Sanglura wished to drive out Thawmpuia. Kairûma supported Sanglura's decision to attack Thawmpuia. When Sanglura sent his war party to the settlement, Thawmpuia opened the gate and entered into dialogue by encouraging them not to fight.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=102}} However, Sanglura, who was confident in the party's fighting ability, ignored the warnings by Thawmpuia three times, which led to Thawmpuia and his men firing upon them and killing Sanglura.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=103}} Kairûma vowed revenge for the death of his brother. Thawmpuia, aware of this, hid his men in Farpuk ({{translation|'Farkawn' Cave}}) in Farkawn on Lurh mountain. Upon arriving with a war party, Kairûma only found old men, women and children. Kairûma and his men followed and traced the men to Farpuk, but hesitated to fight with Thawmpuia and the men. They continued to threaten them from outside the cave.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=104}} After noticing a water source flowing into the cave, Kairûma planned to place poison into the stream to kill off the hidden people. However, Kairûma's {{lang|lus|upa}} ({{translation|elders}}) were against the idea on superstitious grounds. They killed Thawmpuia's [[gayal|{{lang|lus|sial|cat=no}}]] and chipped off its horn as a trophy. Kairûma and his men left them alive, and Thawmpuia migrated shortly after.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=105}}

After the migration, Kairûma's ally, the Fânai Chief Zaduna, occupied Thawmpuia's village of Zawlsei.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=110}} Kairûma is also reputed as a tiger hunter as Zaduna requested his help in hunting down a tiger, which Kairûma killed with arrows.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=109}}

==Anglo-Lushai relations==
Following annexation via the [[Chin-Lushai Expedition]], Chief [[Lalburha]] led the Eastern Lushai Rising against British Occupation which Kairûma participated. Even after Lalburha submitted to [[Robert Blair McCabe]], Kairûma continued resistance.{{sfn|Sangkima|2004|p=232}} Kairûma refused to provide [[coolie]]s to construct the Aizawl road and refused to meet with the political officer.{{sfn|Joshi|2005|p=25}} In December 1895, a joint expedition from Falam ([[Chin Hills]]), Aizawl and Lunglei occupied Kairûma's village and destroyed the grains and livestock. Kairûma was a fugitive of the British but was permitted to rebuild his village after paying a fine of 60 guns. Kairûma agreed and promised to meet the Political Officer on his second tour, and thus ended the Lushai Rising as the last resisting chief.{{sfn|Sangkima|2004|p=232}}
==Later life==
Kairûma was captured as a fugitive and brought to Aizawl in the spring of 1900 to be sentenced for six months.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=130}} He served alongside Chief [[Zakapa]].{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=131}} Kairûma left prison to resettle in Biate which had been merged with his other villages for administrative purposes.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=134}} On 12 December 1911, Sir [[Lancelot Hare]] bestowed upon Kairûma a certificate on behalf of [[King George V]] in recognition of his administration of his villages.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=137}}

Kairûma had six children with three wives. His principal wife Thangpuilali bore him Liankangloiva, Laltawna and Lalthangchuanga. His second wife, Thangthluaii bore him Lalbika. Thangluti, his third wife have birth to Thangburha. His fourth wife, Hrangziki gave birth to lalbuanga.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=143}} Kairûma died on 22 February 1912, sometimes argued to be March.{{sfn|Zokima|1993|p=141}}

== Plot ==
In [[Bangalore]], two rival mafia gangs headed by [[Australia]]-based on Ali Bhai and Satyaraj resort to criminal activities such as extortion, [[contract killing|contract]], and coercion to take control of the city. The new [[Deputy Commissioner of Police|DCP]], Abdul Azem Sher Khan, focuses on making Bangalore a better place by working on arresting all of them. Dattu, a thug working for money and living in Bangalore along with his friends, is hired by Satyaraj to beat up Ali Bhai's henchmen ''Magadi'' Manja. He later joins Ali Bhai's gang for monetary reasons. He falls in love with Anjali, an aerobics master, who initially rejects his advances. Anjali lives with her widowed mother and brother and her neighbor Sadhu, a software engineer, who pesters her to marry him. A corrupt [[Sub-Inspector|SI]] named Umesh Reddy, who works for Ali Bhai, lusts after Anjali. He is determined to make her his mistress, undeterred by Anjali's multiple rejections. After Dattu kills a henchman of Satyaraj, He is confronted by Umesh Reddy and is able to prevent Anjali from being molested. She meets him the next day to thank him, and Dattu introduces himself as a self-employed person who undertakes any activity for money. They develop unspoken feelings for each other angering Umesh Reddy.

Anjali's employer, Satya Narayana Murthy suggests that she marry the man she loves. To escape from Umesh Reddy's advances, she meets Dattu and proposes to him. After an attack by Satyaraj's henchmen, who are murdered by Dattu, He reveals himself as a remorseless assassin and suggests that she might want to rethink her proposal. After Anjali distances herself from Dattu, Umesh Reddy frames her with a mock assault by a few gangsters unbeknownst to her family and the local residents, intending to ruin her life and subsequently force her to be his mistress. Learning this, Dattu beats up Umesh Reddy and warns him that he will face dire consequences if he is found guilty of being involved. Ali Bhai visits Bangalore and assassinates Satyaraj. He meets Dattu to discuss the murder of a minister by blowing up children's [[balloons]]. Dattu rejects this as it would involve killing innocents. In the middle of their argument, the police raids the club and arrests Ali Bhai. His gang members retaliate by kidnapping Khan's daughter, drugging her and creating a Lascivious video of her which they threaten to release to the media if Ali Bhai is not released, forcing the embattled Khan to release Ali Bhai. However, in her drugged state, Khan's daughter reveals that her father had placed an undercover officer as a mole in Ali Bhai's gang.

The gang members find out that an [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] officer by the name of Suryanarayana Murthy, the son of a retired [[Inspector]] Satya Narayana Murthy, has gone undercover to finish off the underworld mafia gangs and is now a part of their gang. Ali Bhai kills Ganesh, believing he is Surya Narayana Murthy. However, it is revealed that Ganesh was actually Satya Narayana Murthy's adopted son. Ali Bhai then kills Satya Narayana Murthy to lure the real Surya Narayana Murthy. When Surya Narayana Murthy actually turns up, everyone, especially Anjali and Umesh Reddy are shocked to see that he is none other than Dattu. After Satya Narayana Murthy and Ganesh's cremation, Dattu forces Umesh Reddy to call Ali Bhai to find out his location, which is Binny Mills. Dattu arrives at [[Binny Mills]] and starts to kill Ali Bhai's gang members one by one, rescuing Khan's daughter in the process. In a final confrontation, Dattu kills Ali Bhai by slashing his throat with a broken glass window and shoots Umesh Reddy by saying the following words: ''Ond sali commit adhre nann maat nanne kelala'' (transl. Once I get committed, I won't listen even to my own words) baby shark

== Reception ==
=== Critical response ===

R G Vijayasarathy of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Porki is an out and out Darshan film. He doesn't disappoint his fans in the dialogue or action sections, especially in the second half. Sharan provides comic relief at regular and much needed intervals. Lending him support are Sadhu Kokila and Tennis Krishna. Ashish Vidyarthi, who plays cop in Telugu Pokiri, is seen here as mafia king Ali Bhai. Dharma makes his presence felt as a gangster".<ref>{{cite web|title=Watch Porki only for Darshan|url=http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jan/29/south-kannada-movie-review-porki.htm|access-date=3 May 2017|work=Rediff.com|first=Shruti|last=Indira Lakshminarayan|date=29 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170503082919/http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jan/29/south-kannada-movie-review-porki.htm|archive-date=3 May 2017}}</ref> A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote "Darshan has also put in his best efforts to showcase his dancing skills. But one has to admit that his performance is not up to the mark in the emotional sequence where he loses his father and one of his close friends".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2010/Jan/29/action-filled-drama-165308.html|title=Parichaya|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=29 January 2010}}</ref> A critic from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "Yet, it must be said that some of the native sensibilities do not allow vulgarity take over and, would eventually render any such depiction a farce. The actors are perfectly cast. Harikrishna and Krishnakumar offer readymade dry food, with money well-spent. Ashish Vidyarthi has little scope to grate on the nerves and Shobhraj is believable".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/49612/porki.html|title=Porki|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=29 January 2010|access-date=31 August 2022|archive-date=31 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831133418/https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/49612/porki.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from [[The Times of India]] scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hats off to Darshan for his brilliant performance in action sequences. While Pranitha fails to impress, Devaraj, Dharma and Avinash put up a good show. The comedy tracks of Sharan and Sadhu Kokila are okay. Music by V Harikrishna is average; Krishna Kumar's camerawork is marvellous and dialogues by B A Madhu are impressive".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/porki/movie-review/5519489.cms?from=mdr|title=PORKI MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=14 May 2016}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "Music composer’s work is the best element in the film.

== Plot ==
Raj Khanna, Tina Kapoor, and Pooja Sahani are childhood friends. Raj harbors a crush on Tina, while Pooja secretly loves Raj. When Raj’s family moves to London, he asks Tina to stay in touch with him through email. Unwilling to take on the responsibility, Tina asks Pooja to write the emails on her behalf. Pooja agrees and begins corresponding with Raj while pretending to be Tina. Over time, Raj develops a deep emotional bond with the girl he believes to be Tina.

Fifteen years later, Raj returns to India hoping to reunite with the girl he fell in love with through their messages. Having never exchanged photographs, he assumes he will recognize her immediately. Upon meeting Tina, he mistakenly believes she is the one who wrote to him, and his affection shifts toward her. Tina, aware of the misunderstanding, accepts his feelings, and their families arrange their engagement. Pooja, knowing the truth but unwilling to hurt either of them, suppresses her own feelings.

Later in London, Raj takes Pooja to a church where she unknowingly hums a melody he had once composed for his pen pal. Realizing that Pooja is the person with whom he had been corresponding all those years, Raj confronts her and confesses that he loves her. Although Pooja reciprocates his feelings, she chooses to sacrifice her happiness after learning that Tina’s father has died and that Tina relies on Raj for emotional support. Raj reluctantly agrees to proceed with the marriage to Tina, on the condition that Pooja promises to marry someone else on the same day.

During the wedding celebrations in London, Raj’s friend Rohan expresses interest in Pooja, and she agrees to marry him. On the wedding day, however, Tina notices the lingering affection between Raj and Pooja and realizes the truth about their relationship. Acknowledging that Raj and Pooja truly love each other, Tina calls off the wedding and encourages them to be together. Raj and Pooja are finally united.

== Ascension ==
Ala Singh had three sons, all of whom predeceased him.

However, Singh's ascension was contested by other members of his family, including his older half-brother Himat Singh, who revolted against him and captured Singh's [[Bhawanigarh]] Fort.<ref name=":722" /> Fateh Kaur later persuaded both brothers to compromise, with Singh's ascension recognized and Himmat being allowed to retain his possessions.<ref name=":6" />

Singh's reign as the [[Maharaja of Patiala|Raja of Patiala]] began in 1765, and with the help of his grandmother Fateh Kaur, he secured his succession against revolts from some of his family members.

In 1767, [[Ahmad Shah Durrani|Ahmed Shah Abdali]], the founder and [[List of heads of state of Afghanistan|king]] of the [[Afghans|Afghan]] [[Durrani Empire]], launched his last invasion campaign into [[Punjab]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Dhavan |first=Purnima |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-7HJ5idB8_QC |title=When Sparrows Became Hawks: The Making of the Sikh Warrior Tradition, 1699-1799 |date=2011-11-03 |publisher=Oxford University Press, USA |isbn=978-0-19-975655-1 |location=New York |pages=116–122 |language=en |access-date=23 July 2024 |archive-date=27 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240727100307/https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/When_Sparrows_Became_Hawks/-7HJ5idB8_QC?hl=en |url-status=live }}</ref> During this expedition, Singh met Abdali in person received the title Raja-e-Rajgan Bahadur (Brave King of Kings).<ref name=":1" /> Singh also paid the ransom of the captives taken by Abdali from Punjab, which earned Singh the title of Bandi Chhor (Releaser of Captives).<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last=Griffin |first=Sir Lepel Henry |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LZleAAAAcAAJ |title=The Rajas of the Punjab: Being the History of the Principal States in the Punjab and Their Political Relations with the British Government |date=1870 |publisher=Punjab Printing Company |location=Lahore |pages=33–50 |language=en |access-date=24 July 2024 |archive-date=27 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240727100308/https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/The_Rajas_of_the_Punjab/LZleAAAAcAAJ?hl=en |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Battles and conflicts ===
In his reign, Singh engaged in numerous battles and conflicts. In 1766, Singh, along with Ahluwalia, captured the villages of [[Kotla, Punjab|Kotla]] and [[Issru]].<ref name=":3" /> In 1767, he took the village [[Tibba]] from Ataullah Khan, the [[Nawab]] of [[Malerkotla State|Malerkotla]].<ref name=":3" /> In 1768, Singh aided the Raja of [[Nahan]] in capturing [[Pinjore]] from [[Garib Das]]; in 1771, he overpowered Sukhchain Singh, annexing most of the territory around [[Bathinda]]; in 1774, Singh fought the [[Bhatti]]s in [[Hisar (city)|Hisar]], suffering heavy losses and the death of his son, Himmat Singh; in 1778, Singh subdued several other Bhatti regions.<ref name=":022" /><ref name=":3" /> Also in 1778, after being defeated in battle by Hari Singh of Sialba, Singh was rescued by an army led by his cousin, [[Bibi Rajindar Kaur|Rajindar Kaur]].<ref name=":03">{{Cite book |last= |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopaedia-of-sikhism-3-ed.-harbans-singh/ |title=The Encyclopaedia of Sikhism: Volume III M-R |date= |publisher=Punjabi University |year=2011 |editor-last=Singh |editor-first=Harbans |location=Patiala |pages=438–439}}</ref> In 1779, Singh and other Sikh rulers united to oppose the [[Mughal Empire]]'s forces marching into Punjab, and their combined strength forced the Mughals to retreat.<ref name=":6" />

=== Policies and administration ===
[[File:Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia on left and Amar Singh of Patiala.jpg|thumb|Sardar [[Jassa Singh Ramgarhia]] on left and Amar Singh of Patiala on right. Pahari late 18th century. Lahore Museum.]]
Singh successfully continued the same foreign policies as his grandfather Ala Singh, most notably maintaining good relations between the [[Dal Khalsa (Sikh Army)|Dal Khalsa]] and the Durrani Empire.<ref name=":1" /> However, unlike Ala Singh, Singh was not criticised by other Sikh leaders, as their political policies had become flexible to the autonomy being exercised by various Sikh leaders.<ref name=":1" /> Singh was even accepted as a member of the Dal Khalsa.<ref name=":1" /> In 1767, Singh's relationship with Durrani prompted other Sikh leaders to argue for the invasion of Patiala; however, Ahluwalia forbade them from doing so.<ref name=":11">{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Ganda |url=http://archive.org/details/SardarJassaSinghAhluwalia |title=Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia |publisher=Punjabi University |year=1990 |location=Patiala |pages=177–178}}</ref> In 1781, Singh again supported Durrani Empire against the Dal Khalsa; however this time, Ahluwalia in retaliation invaded Singh's territory, forcing Singh to suspend his support to the Durrani Empire and make peace with Ahluwalia at the city of [[Khanna, Ludhiana|Khanna]].<ref name=":022" />

== Death and succession ==
Singh died in 1781, at the age of 34.<ref name=":022" /> According to historians, he died due to health complications from [[alcoholism]].<ref name=":3" /> He was succeeded by his son [[Sahib Singh of Patiala|Sahib Singh]], who was six years old the time.<ref name=":6" /> His daughter, [[Bibi Sahib Kaur|Sahib Kaur]], served at times as the Prime Minister of Patiala and also as a general in the Patiala army.<ref name=":6" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sharma |first=Manraj Grewal |date=28 April 2022 |title=The Sikh warriors through the ages: From Sahib Kaur to Hari Singh Nalwa |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chandigarh/sikh-warriors-sahib-kaur-hari-singh-nalwa-7940700/ |access-date=2 May 2025 |website=The Indian Express}}</ref>

== Legacy ==
Singh significantly strengthened Patiala State during his rule, making it the most powerful state between the [[Yamuna]] and the [[Sutlej]] rivers.<ref name=":022">{{Cite book |last=Gandhi |first=Surjit Singh |url=http://archive.org/details/SikhsInTheEighteenthCentury |title=Sikhs In The Eighteenth Century |publisher=Singh Brothers |year=1999 |location=Amritsar |pages=497–502 |language=English}}</ref> Historians have speculated that, had he lived another twenty years, two powerful Sikh polities might have emerged: the [[Sikh Empire]] extending up to the Sutlej and the Patiala State spanning from the Yamuna to the Sutlej and from the [[Sivalik Hills|Shivalik hills]] to the [[Thar Desert]] area near [[Bikaner]].<ref name=":022" /><ref name=":3" /> A powerful and larger Patiala State could have caused the [[British Empire]] to halt its expansion at [[Delhi]] and remain satisfied with the Patiala polity as the [[buffer state]] between the Sikh Empire and Delhi.<ref name=":022" /><ref name=":3" /> This, along with the historical consensus that Singh's successors who ruled Patiala were considered primarily frivolous or [[Hedonism|hedonistic]], has led historians to consider Singh's early death a tragedy for the history of both Patiala and [[History of Punjab|Punjab]].<ref name=":022" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Hasrat |first=Bikrama Jit |url=http://archive.org/details/ranjit-singh-bikramjit-hasrat |title=Life and Times of Ranjit Singh: A Saga of Benevolent Despotism |publisher=V.V.R.I.

Swami Shankarananda is the author of several books on [[meditation]] and the [[philosophy]] and practice of [[Kashmir Shaivism]]. He emphasises spiritual practice (Sadhana), especially meditation, mantra, self-inquiry and teaches ancient teachings in Western terms.<ref name="auto"/>

In 2015 multiple allegations of sexual abuse were made against Shankarananda.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Oakes |first1=Dan |title=Mount Eliza ashram guru Russell Kruckman accused of sexually abusing multiple women |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-27/mt-eliza-ashram-guru-russell-kruckman-accused-of-sexual-abuse/13191656 |access-date=18 November 2021 |work=ABC |date=26 February 2021}}</ref>

== Early life and education ==
Shankarananda was born Russell Michael Kruckman, the son of artist Herbert ("Herb") (1904–1998) and schoolteacher Selma (1908–1998). He studied at [[Columbia University]], New York, where he played on Columbia's US Champion intercollegiate chess team.<ref>[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19620223-01.2.35&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------# "Chess Club wins Ivy League Crown"], William D. Schwartz, Columbia Spectator, 23 February 1962. Retrieved 23 June 2015.</ref>

==Career==
Shankarananda began his career as an academic at [[Indiana University]].<ref name="auto"/> He turned to [[spirituality]] following a life-threatening incident, leading him to meet the American spiritual teacher [[Ram Dass]] and travel to India.<ref name="auto"/> Later, he spent time in India studying [[meditation]] under his guru, Swami [[Muktananda]], the disciple of [[Bhagavan Nityananda]] of Ganeshpuri.<ref name="auto"/>

In 1986, Shankarananda founded the Shiva Institute in [[Los Angeles]], introducing the Shiva Process—a meditation technique influenced by Kashmir Shaivism.<ref name="auto"/> He later established the Shiva Ashram in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]] in 1991, relocating to [[Mount Eliza, Victoria|Mount Eliza]] in 1995.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="Mt Eliza Asham">{{Cite web|title=The Ashram Mount Eliza {{!}} Swami Shankarananda - Meditation and Yoga|url=https://www.theashram.com.au/|access-date=2020-10-02|website=The Ashram Mount Eliza|language=en-AU}}</ref> At his ashram, he conducts weekly satsang programs every Saturday, where he discusses teachings from Muktananda, other spiritual figures, and his own experiences, often using humor.<ref name="auto"/>

Shankarananda has held events with other teachers in his lineage and, in 2009, launched a website that cites all the gurus and teachers in Bhagavan Nityananda's lineage. He has participated in interfaith events.<ref>[http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/mai/files/2012/01/news061004.txt Tantra, consciousness and reality seminar, October 2004]</ref> In 2003 he organized the "Power of Three" event, aiming to unite teachers from Muktananda's lineage to discuss various meditation practices. Participants included Master Charles, who integrates modern mysticism with science and technology, and Swami Nityananda, who focuses on traditional meditation techniques.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/less-ritual-more-reality-20031114-gdwqfy.html|title=Less ritual, more reality|date=November 14, 2003|website=[[The Age]]}}</ref>

Shankarananda came into contact with [[Kashmir Shaivism]] through his teacher, Muktananda. He teaches the "Shiva Process Self-Inquiry, an inner dialogue in which students ask precise questions of the Self," realizing their true Self as pure consciousness or awareness.<ref>"Energy Rising", Yoga Journal Kathy Wyer (http://www.yogajournal.com/article/practice-section/energy-rising/)</ref> Muktananda emphasised the importance of a self-realised guru who can awaken and guide the [[kundalini]] energy of a seeker.

He was the patron of the Hindu Community Council of Victoria (HCCV),<ref>[http://www.hinduccv.org.au/news/45-clarification-re-ganesh-play-controversy Clarification re Ganesh Play Controversy]</ref> and he spoke at the Parliament of the World's Religions held in Melbourne, 2009.{{Citation needed|date=February 2026}}

== Controversy ==

In 2015, allegations surfaced about Shankarananda engaging in sexual relationships with members of his ashram community. He admitted to the relationships, stating he had underestimated the impact of his tantric practices.<ref>mpnews.com.au/2015/01/20/secret-sex-shakes-yoga-school</ref> Later, the organization was liquidated and Shankarananda resigned as director but continued as the spiritual leader, retaining ownership of the main property, now known as The Ashram Mount Eliza, where he continues to run regular programs for residents and the public.<ref name="Perkins 2015">{{Cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/guru-sex-scandal-at-mount-eliza-yoga-retreat-20150120-12ugkk.html|title=Guru sex scandal at Mount Eliza yoga retreat|first=Miki|last=Perkins|date=January 20, 2015|website=The Age}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mpnews.com.au/2015/04/27/yoga-school-to-be-wound-up/|title=Yoga school to be wound up|first=Keith|last=Platt|date=April 27, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/ashram-could-wind-up-amid-sex-abuse-allegations-20150327-1m97ox.html|title=Ashram could wind up amid sex abuse allegations|first=Jane|last=Lee|date=March 28, 2015|website=The Age}}</ref>

The '''''Swami Vivekananda'' statue''' is a bronze statue of the [[Hindu]] Indian monk [[Swami Vivekananda]] (1863–1902), located in Golpark neighbourhood in the Indian city of [[Kolkata]]. The original statue, made of [[marble]] and unveiled in 1966,<ref name="Year clarification" group=note/> was the oldest statue of Swami Vivekananda in the city. The old statue was replaced by a new, taller one in 2005.<ref name="ABP 2006">{{Cite news|title=Swami Vivekananda er murti nobonirmnae 12 lokkho dickke Kolkata Corporation|newspaper=[[Anandabazar Patrika]]|date=10 January 2006}}</ref><ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph">{{cite news|title=Swami grows in stature – 12-ft bronze likeness to replace smaller marble statue to match development strides taken at Gol Park|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050530/asp/calcutta/story_4801376.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222164633/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050530/asp/calcutta/story_4801376.asp|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 February 2014|access-date=31 May 2013|newspaper=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)]]}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Old marble statue ===
The original statue of Swami Vivekananda at Golpark was seven feet tall and made of marble. It was installed in 1966,<ref name="Year clarification" group=note/> sixty-four years after Vivekananda's death. In 2005, it was moved to the Mission's Golpark campus to make room for a new, larger statue.<ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph" />

=== Bronze statue ===
In 2005, the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture decided to replace the old marble statue with a taller bronze one. Swami Gahanananda, the president of the institute, said in May 2005 that the old statue did not fit well with the urban development of Golpark and South Kolkata area—it was "dwarfed" by the new [[Tower block|high-rises]]—and that many devotees of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda requested that the institute replace it.<ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph" />

The bronze statue of Swami Vivekananda is twelve feet high and is mounted on an eight-foot-tall cement pedestal. The statue was made by Anit Ghosh of the [[Government College of Art & Craft]]. The [[Kolkata Municipal Corporation]] provided {{INRConvert|1.2|m}} rupees for the work.<ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph" /> Subrata Mukherjee, who was the Mayor of Kolkata at that time, said that the city agreed to the financial contribution after being "shown a few letters from devotees suggesting the installation of a giant statue of Swamiji at Gol Park in place of the old one."<ref name="ABP 2006" /><ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph" /> He added, "This is a necessity, in the light of overall development of the Gol Park area."<ref name="Swami grows in stature Telegraph" />

===After installation===
The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture was given the responsibility for carrying out maintenance of the park and adjacent area at Golpark by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 2006. A major two-month renovation of the park was undertaken in 2010, using funds provided by the Times Foundation; improvements included new lighting for the statue.<ref name="Golpark gets coat of greenery and glitter">{{cite news|title=Golpark gets coat of greenery and glitter|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-28/kolkata/28317314_1_golpark-beautified-concrete-jungle|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130702013853/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-28/kolkata/28317314_1_golpark-beautified-concrete-jungle|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 July 2013|access-date=31 May 2013|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=28 May 2010}}</ref>

==Location==
Golpark is a landmark in South Kolkata. It is a circle-shaped fenced park, which is surrounded by a traffic roundabout. The statue is located at the middle of the park. The [[Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture]], a branch of the [[Ramakrishna Mission]] which was established by Swami Vivekananda, is located across the street.<ref name="ABP 2006" />

In 2012, it was granted the [[Geographical Indication]] tag by the Government of India.

Acreage under this variety has declined sharply, pushing it towards extinction, for reasons including:
* Panicle blast epidemics in 1998 and 1999
* tall stature of the crop causing lodging{{Clarify|date=July 2022}}
* long time harvest (6 to 7 months)
* poor quality seeds and research support
Kalanamak was grown widely in [[Kapilvastu district|Kapilvastu]] and [[Uttar Pradesh]]'s [[Terai|Tarai]] belt, which comprised districts [[Siddharthnagar district|Siddharth Nagar]], [[Sant Kabir Nagar district|Sant Kabir Nagar]], [[Maharajganj district|Maharajganj]], [[Basti district|Basti]], [[Gonda district|Gonda]], and [[Gorakhpur district|Gorakhpur]]. Until the 1990s, the variety made up more than 10% of the total rice cultivation area in [[Siddharthanagar]]. However, acreage growing this variety in this district declined to <0.5% of total rice cultivation during 2002.

==History==
[[File:Fossilized grains.jpg|thumb|Picture of fossilized grain of Kalanamak rice found during the excavation of Aligarhwa, Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh (believed to be a part of Kapilvastu). Image taken from book 'A Treatise On The Secented rices of India' by R.K. Singh and U.S. Singh page 425]][[File:Kalanamak rice grains.jpg|thumb|Grains of Kalanamak rice]]Kalanamak rice has been cultivated since the Buddhist period (600 BC).<ref>Rediscovering Scented Rice Cultivar Kalanamak; Reproduced from Asian Agri-History Vol. 9, No. 3, 2005 (211–219)</ref> Kalanamak grains were found from the excavation of Kapilvastu. Kapilvastu, part of the Kingdom of King Śuddhodana, father of [[Buddha|Gautama Buddha]] is located in Terai, Nepal. During the excavation of Aligarhwa carbonized rice grains resembling Kalanamak were recovered.

Chinese monk [[Faxian|Fa-hien]] wrote that when [[Buddha]] visited [[Piprahwa|Kapilvastu]] for the first time after attaining 'enlightenment', he was stopped at Mathla village by the people. The villagers asked Siddhartha to give them ''prasad''. Siddhartha took the rice he had taken in alms and gave it to the people, asking them to sow it in a marshy place. The rice thus produced "will have a typical aroma which will always remind people of me," he said. Bajha jungle later vanished replaced by Bajha village near [[Kapilavastu (ancient city)|Kapilvastu]]. Mudila village replaced Mathla. The belt is still believed to run between [[Bajha]] and [[Aligarhwa]]. This variety, if sown elsewhere, loses its aroma and quality.{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The first effort to conserve Kalanamak rice was made by Englishmen William Pepe, J H Hemprey, and Edcan Walker (Jamindars of Alidapur, [[Birdpur]], and Mohana) during the [[British Raj]]. They built reservoirs at Bajha, Marthi, Moti, and Majhauli to produce Kalanamak. They produced this variety for their consumption and transported it to England from Uska-bazar mandi, passing through [[Dhaka]] (now in [[Bangladesh]]). Due to increasing demand, the British captured the land around Kapilvastu and established Birdpur and Alidapur estates. They produced Kalanamak through bonded labor and exported it to Britain. When [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] businessmen came to know about this business potential, they formed a ''mandi'' at Uska-bazar to export Kalanamak. British "shopkeepers" built a rail route to carry rice via rail to counter them. After independence, Uska-bazar mandi became nonfunctional due to negligence, and reservoirs gathered silt. This led to a fall in production of Kalanamak.<ref name="AsianAgri-History">{{cite web|url=http://asianagrihistory.org/research3.php|title=Welcome to Asian Agri-History Foundation (AAHF)|publisher=|access-date=2015-03-24|archive-date=2015-04-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403022806/http://asianagrihistory.org/research3.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==GI Tag==
Kalanamak rice was granted the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag in 2012 by the [[Government of India]]. A geographical area was defined where Kalanamak rice can be produced. Kalanamak rice grown only in this area can be labelled as Kalanamak rice.<ref>GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS
JOURNAL NO. 48
NOVEMBER 29, 2012 / AGRAHAYANA 08, SAKA 1934</ref> The GI tag is used for agricultural, natural and manufactured goods.

The geographical area for Kalanamak rice lies between 26° 42′ North to 27° 75′ North Latitude and 81° 42′ to 83° 88′ East Longitude in UP.

Kalanamak Rice is approved for 11 districts of Zone 7 of UP. These 11 districts are located in the divisions of Gorakhpur (Deoria, Gorakhpur, Mahrajganj, Siddharth Nagar districts), Basti (Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, Siddharth Nagar districts), and Devipatan (Bahraich, Balrampur, Gonda, Shravasti districts).

==Quality==
[[File:GrainLength.jpg|thumb|Comparison of the grain length of cooked and uncooked kernel of Kalanamak rice grain. The Elongation after cooking is almost 2.2 times the grain length]]
Kalanamak rice is a non-basmati rice with medium slender grain length. The four varieties of Kalanamak are KN 3, Bauna Kalanamak 101, Bauna Kalanamak 102, and Kalanamak Kiran were developed by Dr. R. C. Chaudhary. The aroma of Kalanamak rice is said to be Buddha's gift. It is stronger than all [[Basmati]] varieties. It elongates after cooking, which is one of its most important quality traits.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://vcampus.uom.ac.mu/sugar/education/sugarnhealth/rice.htm |title=Amylose and Amylopectine in rice |website=vcampus.uom.ac.mu |access-date=2017-05-13 |archive-date=2018-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903185428/http://vcampus.uom.ac.mu/sugar/education/sugarnhealth/rice.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> Cooked kalanamak is softer and fluffier than other rice varieties. [[Amylose]] content is close to 20% as compared to 24% and higher in Basmati. High amylose levels tend to make the rice cook firm and dry. Rice with a medium amylose content, between 16% and 22%, usually cooks softer and the grains stick together more readily.

==Health benefits==

Kalanamak rice is rich in micronutrients such as iron and zinc. It has 11% protein, almost double that of common rice varieties. It has a low [[Glycemic Index]] (49% to 52%) making it relatively sugar-free and suitable for diabetics. The government of India came out with its Nutri-Farm scheme in 2013, intending to promote food crops that offer critical micronutrients to improve the nutrition status of the vulnerable section of society. Kalanamak rice was one of the nutri-crop selected for this scheme.

The '''king cobra''' ('''''Ophiophagus hannah''''') is a [[species complex]] of snakes [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Asia]]. With an average length of {{cvt|3.18|to|4|m}} and a record length of {{cvt|5.85|m}},<ref name=mehrtens/> it is the world's longest [[venomous snake]] and among the heaviest. Under the genus '''''Ophiophagus''''', it is not [[phylogenetics|phylogenetically]] a [[Naja|true cobra]] despite its common name and some resemblance. Spanning from the [[Indian subcontinent]] through [[Southeastern Asia]] to [[Southern China]], the king cobra is widely distributed albeit not commonly seen.

Individuals have [[Polymorphism (biology)|diversified colouration]] across its [[habitats]], from black with white strips to unbroken brownish grey, although after taxonomic re-evaluation, it is no longer the [[monotypic|sole member]] of its genus but is now a species complex; these differences in pattern and other aspects may cause the genus to be split into at least four species, spread across its large [[Species distribution|geographic range]].

It chiefly [[Ophiophagy|hunts other snakes]], including [[Cannibalism|those of its own kind]], although other [[lizard]]s and [[rodent]]s are occasional prey items. This is the only ophidian that constructs an above-ground [[nest]] for its eggs, which are purposefully and meticulously gathered and protected by the female throughout the [[Egg incubation#Reptilian incubation|incubation]] period.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lillywhite |first1=Harvey B. |year=2014 |title=How Snakes Work: Structure, Function and Behavior of the World's Snakes |location=New York |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=241 |isbn=978-0-19-538037-8 |chapter-url=}}</ref> Typical [[threat display]] of this elapid includes neck-flap spreading, head raising, hissing and sometimes charging. Capable of striking at a considerable range and height with an immense [[venom]] yield, [[snake bite|envenomation]] from this species may induce rapid onset of neurotoxic and cytotoxic symptoms, requiring prompt [[antivenom]] administration. Despite the fearsome reputation, aggression toward humans usually only arises from an individual inadvertently exposing itself or being cornered; encounters happen through chance, including [[Human–wildlife conflict|negative interactions]].

Threatened by [[habitat destruction]], it has been listed as [[Vulnerable species|Vulnerable]] on the [[IUCN Red List]] since 2010. Regarded as the national reptile of [[India]], it has an eminent position in the [[mythology]] and folk traditions of [[India]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Myanmar]].

== Etymology ==
The king cobra is also referred to by the common name "[[hamadryad]]", especially in older literature. ''Hamadryas hannah'' was the scientific name used by Danish naturalist [[Theodore Edward Cantor]] in 1836 who [[Scientific description|described]] four king cobra [[Type (biology)|specimens]], three [[Type locality (biology)|captured in]] the [[Sundarbans]] and one in the vicinity of [[Kolkata]].<ref name=Cantor1836>{{cite journal |last=Cantor |first=T.

== Taxonomy ==
The [[Genus (biology)|genus]] ''Ophiophagus'' was proposed by Günther in 1864 in place of ''Hamadryas'', as the genus ''Hamadryas'' was already used for the [[Hamadryas (butterfly)|cracker butterflies]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Günther |first=A.

M. |year=1945 |title=''Hamadryas'' Preoccupied for the King Cobra |journal=Copeia |doi=10.2307/1438180 |jstor=1438180 |volume=1945 |issue=1 |page=47}}</ref>

It has been suggested that three more king cobra species exist in addition to ''O. hannah'', namely the Sunda king cobra [[Ophiophagus bungarus|(''O. bungarus'')]], the Western Ghats king cobra [[Ophiophagus kaalinga|(''O. kaalinga'')]], and the Luzon king cobra [[Ophiophagus salvatana|(''O. salvatana'')]]. These distinct genetic lineages are geographically isolated and adapted to specific ecological regions.<ref name=Das2024/>

=== Synonyms ===
In 1838, Cantor proposed the name ''Hamadryas ophiophagus'' for the king cobra and explained that it has dental features intermediate between the genera ''Naja'' and ''[[Bungarus]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Cantor |first=T.

''Naia vittata'' proposed by [[Walter Elliot (naturalist)|Walter Elliot]] in 1840 was a king cobra caught offshore near [[Chennai]] that was floating in a basket.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Elliot |first=W. |year=1840 |title=Description of a New Species of Naga, or Cobra de Capello |journal=Madras Journal of Literature and Science |volume=11 |pages=39–41 |url=https://archive.org/details/madrasjournalofl1118madr/page/n55}}</ref> This provenance is disputed, as wild king cobras have never occurred near Chennai, and an analysis of this specimen has found it to be more similar to the northern king cobra.<ref name=Das2024/>
''Hamadryas elaps'' proposed by [[Albert Günther]] in 1858 were king cobra specimens from the [[Philippines]] and [[Borneo]]. Günther considered both ''N. bungarus'' and ''N. vittata'' a variety of ''H. elaps''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Günther |first=A. |date=1858 |title=Catalogue of colubrine snakes in the collection of the British Museum |publisher=Printed by order of the Trustees |location=London |page=219 |url=https://archive.org/details/catalogueofcolub00brituoft/page/219}}</ref> ''Naja ingens'' proposed by {{ill|Alexander Willem Michiel van Hasselt|nl|Alexander Willem Michiel van Hasselt|fr|Alexander Willem Michiel Van Hasselt|de|Alexander Willem Michiel van Hasselt}} in 1882 was a king cobra captured near [[Tebing Tinggi]] in northern Sumatra.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Van Hasselt |first=A.

The earliest [[scientific name]] for the king cobra was ''[[Naja]] bungaroides'', given by [[Friedrich Boie]] in 1828 based on a juvenile specimen from [[Java]]. This description was improperly done, leaving it a ''[[nomen nudum]]'' at the time. However, [[Johann Georg Wagler]] validated the name in 1830 with a sufficient diagnosis, and also proposed a new genus for it, ''[[Hoplocephalus]]''. In 1837, [[Hermann Schlegel]] used the name ''Naja bungaroides'' for his description of the Australian [[broad-headed snake]], which was later reclassified into Wagler's ''Hoplocephalus'', and used the species name ''Naja bungarus'' for the king cobra.<ref>{{cite book |last=Schlegel |first=H. |year=1837 |title=Essai sur la physionomie des serpens |language=French |trans-title=Essay on the physiognomy of snakes |chapter=Le Naja Bongare. ''N. bungarus'' |publisher=Schonekat |location=Amsterdam |page=476 |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/essaisurlaphysio02schl/page/476}}</ref> Since then, the species name ''Naja''/''Hoplocephalus bungaroides'', originally coined for the king cobra and improperly assigned to the broad-headed snake, became conflated with the broad-headed snake and used as the type species of ''Hoplocephalus'', while the species name ''Naja bungarus'' was treated as a [[Synonym (taxonomy)|junior synonym]] of the king cobra (until its revival as the species name for the [[Sunda king cobra]] in 2024). This longstanding discrepancy, which breaks the [[principle of priority]], was overlooked for nearly two centuries and only discovered in 2024. Due to the long presence of the names ''Ophiophagus hannah'' and ''Hoplocephalus bungaroides'' in the literature, which would be upended if these two species were reclassified based on this issue, it was decided to maintain the longstanding scientific names for both taxa and designate a new, accurate type specimen for the broad-headed snake.<ref name=Das2024/>

== Distribution and habitat ==
The king cobra has a wide distribution throughout [[tropical Asia]]. It occurs in elevations of {{cvt|2000|m}} from the [[Terai]] in India and southern Nepal to the [[Brahmaputra River]] basin in [[Bhutan]] and northeast India, down to Bangladesh, Myanmar, [[southern China]], Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam; to the [[maritime Southeast Asia]]n countries of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.<ref name=iucn/>

However, it remains uncertain if any populations continue to persist there.<ref name=Das2024/>

== Behaviour and ecology==
Like other snakes, a king cobra receives chemical information via its [[forked tongue]], which picks up scent particles and transfers them to a sensory receptor ([[Vomeronasal organ|Jacobson's organ]]) located in the roof of its mouth.<ref name="mehrtens" />
Following [[envenomation]], it swallows its prey whole. Because of its flexible jaws, it can swallow prey much larger than its head. It is considered [[Diurnal animal|diurnal]] because it hunts during the day, but has also been seen at night, albeit rarely.<ref name="mehrtens" />

=== Diet ===
[[File:A royal meal.jpg|thumb|Preying on a smaller snake]]
The king cobra is an [[apex predator]] and dominant over all other snakes except large [[Python (genus)|pythons]].<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Marshall, B.M. |author2=Strine, C.T. |author3=Jones, M.D. |author4=Theodorou, A. |author5=Amber, E. |author6=Waengsothorn, S. |author7=Suwanwaree, P. |author8=Goode, M. |title=Hits close to home: repeated persecution of King Cobras (''Ophiophagus hannah'') in northeastern Thailand |journal=Tropical Conservation Science |year=2018 |volume=11 |pages=1–14 |article-number=1940082918818401 |doi=10.1177/1940082918818401 |doi-access=free|hdl=10150/632917 |hdl-access=free}}</ref> Its diet consists primarily of other snakes and [[lizards]], including [[varanid]]s, [[Indian cobra]], [[banded krait]], [[Oriental rat snake]], [[reticulated pythons]], [[green whip snake]], [[Himalayan keelback]], [[Lycodon fasciatus|banded wolf snake]] and [[Blyth's reticulated snake]].<ref name="Wall1924" />

When food is scarce, it also feeds on other small vertebrates, such as birds, and lizards. In some cases, the cobra [[Constriction|constricts]] its prey using its muscular body, though this is uncommon. After a large meal, it may go for many months without another one because of its slow [[Metabolism|metabolic rate]].<ref name="mehrtens" /><ref name="coborn" />

Wild king cobras encountered in Singapore appeared to be placid, but reared up and struck in self defense when cornered.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Lim, K. K. P. |author2=Leong, T.

The king cobra can be easily irritated by closely approaching objects or sudden movements. When raising its body, the king cobra can still move forward to strike with a long distance, and people may misjudge the safe zone. It can deliver multiple bites in a single attack.<ref name=Davidson>{{cite web |url=http://toxicology.ucsd.edu/Snakebite%20Protocols/Ophiopha.htm |title=Immediate First Aid |access-date=24 September 2011 |last=Davidson |first=T. |publisher=University of California, San Diego |archive-date=30 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100630032005/http://toxicology.ucsd.edu/Snakebite%20Protocols/Ophiopha.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>

The hiss of the king cobra is a much lower [[Pitch (music)|pitch]] than many other snakes and many people thus liken its call to a "growl" rather than a hiss. While the hisses of most snakes are of a broad-[[frequency]] span ranging from roughly 3,000 to 13,000 [[hertz|Hz]] with a dominant frequency near 7,500 Hz, king cobra growls consist solely of frequencies below 2,500 Hz, with a dominant frequency near 600 Hz, a much lower-pitched frequency closer to that of a human voice. Comparative anatomical [[morphometric analysis]] has led to a discovery of tracheal [[diverticulum|diverticula]] that function as low-frequency [[Resonating chamber (anatomy)|resonating chamber]]s in king cobra and its prey, the rat snake, both of which can make similar growls.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Young |first1=B.

The '''Line of Control''' ('''LoC''') is a military control line between the [[India]]n{{hyphen}} and [[Pakistan]]i{{hyphen}}controlled parts of the former [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|princely state of Jammu and Kashmir]]—a line which does not constitute a legally recognized international boundary, but serves as the ''[[de facto]]'' border. It was established as part of the [[Simla Agreement]] at the end of the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]]. Both nations agreed to rename the ceasefire line as the "Line of Control" and pledged to respect it without prejudice to their respective positions.<ref>{{harvnb|Wirsing|1998|p=13}}: 'With particular reference to Kashmir, they agreed that: ... in J&K, the Line of Control resulting from the ceasefire of 17 December 1971, shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognised position of either side.'</ref> Apart from minor details, the line is roughly the same as the original [[Karachi Agreement|1949 cease-fire line]].

The part of the former princely state under Indian control is divided into the union territories of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Ladakh]]. The Pakistani-controlled section is divided into [[Azad Kashmir]] and [[Gilgit–Baltistan]]. The northernmost point of the Line of Control is known as [[NJ9842]], beyond which lies the [[Siachen Glacier]], which became a bone of contention with [[Siachen conflict|Indian and Pakistani armed forces clashing there from 1984]]. To the south of the Line of Control, (Sangam, Chenab River, [[Akhnoor]]), lies the border between [[Punjab, Pakistan|Pakistani Punjab]] and the Jammu province, which has an ambiguous status: India regards it as an "international boundary", and Pakistan calls it a "working border".{{sfn|Wirsing|1998|p=10}}

Another ceasefire line separates the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir from the Chinese-controlled area known as [[Aksai Chin]]. Lying further to the east, it is known as the [[Line of Actual Control]] (LAC).{{sfn|Wirsing|1998|p=20}}

== Background ==
{{main|Kashmir conflict}}
After the [[partition of India]], present-day India and Pakistan contested the princely state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] – India because of the ruler's accession to the country, and Pakistan by virtue of the state's Muslim-majority population. The [[First Kashmir War]] in 1947 lasted more than a year until a ceasefire was arranged through [[UN mediation of Kashmir|UN mediation]]. Both sides agreed on a [[Karachi Agreement|ceasefire line]].{{sfn|Wirsing| 1998|pp=4–7}}

After another [[1965 Indo-Pakistani War|Kashmir War]] in 1965, and the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]] (which saw [[Bangladesh]] become independent), only minor modifications had been effected in the original ceasefire line. In the ensuing [[Simla Agreement]] in 1972, both countries agreed to convert the ceasefire line into a "Line of Control" (LoC) and observe it as a ''de facto'' border that armed action should not violate. The agreement declared that "neither side shall seek to alter it unilaterally, irrespective of mutual differences and legal interpretations".{{sfn|Wirsing|1998|p=13}}<ref name="MEA_site">{{cite web|date=2 July 1972|title=Simla Agreement|url=http://www.mea.gov.in/bilateral-documents.htm?dtl/5541/Simla+Agreement|url-status=live|work=Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.|publisher=|access-date=27 September 2013|archive-date=17 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160117165259/http://www.mea.gov.in/bilateral-documents.htm?dtl%2F5541%2FSimla+Agreement}}</ref> The [[United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan]] (UNMOGIP) had the role of investigating ceasefire violations (CFVs), however their role decreased after 1971.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=110–111}} In 2000, US President [[Bill Clinton]] referred to the Indian subcontinent and the Kashmir Line of Control, in particular, as one of the most dangerous places in the world.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Marcus|first=Jonathan|date=23 March 2000|title=Analysis: The world's most dangerous place?|newspaper=[[BBC News]]|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/687021.stm|access-date=25 August 2021|archive-date=16 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210916030451/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/687021.stm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Krishnaswami|first=Sridhar|date=11 March 2000|title='Most dangerous place'|language=en-IN|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-miscellaneous/tp-others/most-dangerous-place/article28005434.ece|url-access=subscription|access-date=25 August 2021|issn=0971-751X|archive-date=25 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825134326/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-miscellaneous/tp-others/most-dangerous-place/article28005434.ece|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2018, two corps and a number of battalions of the [[Border Security Force]] manned the Indian side of the LoC.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=109}} The [[X Corps (Pakistan)|Rawalpindi Corps]] manned the Pakistani side.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=109}} Ceasefire violations (CFV's) are initiated and committed by both sides and show a symmetry.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=145}}{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=86}} The response to a CFV at one location can lead to shooting at an entirely different area.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=85}} Weapons used on the LoC include small arms, [[rocket-propelled grenades]], [[recoilless rifles]], [[Mortar (weapon)|mortars]], [[automatic grenade launchers]], rocket launchers and a number of other direct and indirect weaponry.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=18}} Military personnel on both sides risk being shot by snipers in moving vehicles, through bunker peepholes and during meals.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=82}}

The civilian population at the LoC, at some points ahead of the forward most post, has complicated the situation.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=113}} Shelling and firing by both sides along the LoC has resulted in civilian deaths.{{sfnp|Jacob, The Line of Control|2018|loc=96, 100}}<ref>{{Cite web|last=Siddiqui|first=Naveed|date=25 December 2017|title=3 Pakistani soldiers martyred in 'unprovoked' cross-LoC firing by Indian army: ISPR|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1378789|url-status=live|access-date=30 August 2021|website=[[Dawn (newspaper)|DAWN]]|archive-date=30 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830022349/https://www.dawn.com/news/1378789}}</ref> Bunkers have been constructed for these civilian populations for protection during periods of CFV's.<ref>{{Cite news|date=7 February 2021|title=J&K completes 84% of underground bunkers along LoC to protect residents during border shelling|work=[[ThePrint]]|agency=PTI|url=https://theprint.in/defence/jk-completes-84-of-underground-bunkers-along-loc-to-protect-residents-during-border-shelling/600614/|access-date=30 August 2021|archive-date=12 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210212011812/https://theprint.in/defence/jk-completes-84-of-underground-bunkers-along-loc-to-protect-residents-during-border-shelling/600614/|url-status=live}}</ref> India and Pakistan usually report only casualties on their own sides of the LoC,{{Sfn|Zakaria|2018|p=xxiv-xxv}} with the media blaming the other side for the firing and each side claiming an adequate retaliation.{{Sfn|Zakaria|2018|pp=17–18}}

According to Happymon Jacob, the reasons for CFVs along the LoC include{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=152–153}} operational reasons (defence construction like observation facilities, the rule of the gun, lack of bilateral mechanisms for border management, personality traits and the emotional state of soldiers and commanders),{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=158–180}} politico-strategic reasons,{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=181–187}} proportional response (land grab, sniping triggered, "I am better than you", revenge firing),{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=187–202}} accidental CFVs (civilian related, lack of clarity where the line is){{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=207–212}} and other reasons (like testing the new boys, honour, prestige and humiliation, fun, gamesmanship).{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=202–207}} Jacob ranks operational reasons as the main cause for CFVs, followed by retributive and politico-strategic reasons .{{Sfn|Jacob, Line on Fire|2018|pp=152–153}}

=== Landmines and IEDs ===

=== Indian LoC fencing ===

Its stated purpose is to exclude arms smuggling and infiltration by Pakistani-based separatist militants. The barrier, referred to as an Anti-Infiltration Obstacle System (AIOS), consists of double-row of fencing and [[concertina wire]] {{convert|8|-|12|ft|m}} in height, and is [[Electric fence|electrified]] and connected to a network of motion sensors, thermal imaging devices, lighting systems and alarms. They act as "fast alert signals" for the Indian troops, who can be alerted and ambush the infiltrators trying to sneak in.<ref name="thehindu_Fence">{{cite news|last=Kumar|first=Vinay|date=1 Feb 2004|title=LoC fencing in Jammu nearing completion|newspaper=The Hindu|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/02/01/stories/2004020109130800.htm|access-date=23 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040216000931/http://www.hindu.com/2004/02/01/stories/2004020109130800.htm|archive-date=16 February 2004}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite news|last=Peri|first=Dinakar|date=30 April 2017|title=Army set to install smart fence along LoC|language=en-IN|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/army-set-to-install-smart-fence-along-loc/article18340498.ece|access-date=31 July 2020|issn=0971-751X|archive-date=22 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022202213/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/army-set-to-install-smart-fence-along-loc/article18340498.ece|url-status=live}}</ref>

The barrier's construction began in the 1990s but slowed in the early 2000s as hostilities between India and Pakistan increased.

== Biography ==
A pleader and a non-professional theatre practitioner from [[Bellary]], Srinivasa Rao belonged to the family of [[Mallinatha Suri]], the world-famous writer acclaimed as Vyakyatha Shiromani. Srinivasa Rao became famous after publishing the [[English language|English]] translation of Prapancha Nataka Charitra (The Dramatic History of the World) ('''Vanivilasa Press''', Bellary) in 1908. In childhood, he was accomplished in [[Sanskrit]] and [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and was familiar with [[Kannada]]. His second elder brother [[Kolachalam Venkata Rao]] was a [[lawyer]] and in a high position, who was later elected as a member of the [[Madras Assembly]]. He was further helped by the local environment in Bellary. where the drama movement was flourishing with redoubled vigour. In this conducive atmosphere, he wrote his magnum opus, as well as dramas, and commentaries on the [[Vedas]] and other literary works. His first drama was Sunandini Parinayam, published around 1894–95, after which he wrote 30 plays. A large number of these plays were performed by their drama company Sumanorama Sabha. [[Bellary Raghava]] and Srinivasa Rao worked closely in running the affairs of the Sabha.

Sumanaroma Sabha staged three plays in the hall of the Sarasa Vinodini Sabha. When Sarasa Vinodini Sabha later refused to lend the hall to them, Srinivasa Rao built a new hall for the Sumanorama Sabha, called Vanivilasa Nataka Shala, which was inaugurated by [[Balgangadhar Tilak]]. This was the first theatre building in Bellary, the second one being Ramakrishna Vilas (after [[Dharmavaram Ramakrishnamacharyulu|Dharmavaraṃ Rāmakr̥ṣṇamācāryulu]]). Both of these were later converted into [[movie theatre|cinema]] theatres - Ramakrishna Vilas renamed Star Cinema and Vanivilas Nataka Shala renamed Prabhat Cinema.<ref>{{cite book

</ref>

In the preface of his magnum opus, he points to the decadence that had set into Indian language theatres at that point in time, in part because of the decline in morality in the practice of theatre. Finally, after surveying theatre traditions from Japan to the Americas, he provided an exclusive appendix, a list of "''rules''" like by-laws for contemporary theatre practitioners. Among his recommendations: "Till Hindu society is fully developed physically, greatly reformed morally, and vastly improved intellectually, do not allow a woman to become an actress. Hindu customs and manners do not allow such a course being taken".<ref>{{cite web

The ''' Sabhyata Dwar''' or '''Civilization Gate''' is a [[sandstone]] [[arch]] [[monument]] located on the banks on [[River Ganga]] in the city of [[Patna]] in the [[States of India|Indian state]] of [[Bihar]]. The Sabhyata Dwar is built with a [[Mauryan art#Architecture|Mauryan-style architecture]] with a purpose to show the [[History of Patna|ancient glory]] of [[Pataliputra]] and traditions and culture of the state of Bihar. The monument was first envisioned by the former [[Lieutenant general|Lieutenant General]] [[Srinivas Kumar Sinha]]. The {{convert|32|m|ft}} high structure is taller than [[Gateway of India]] by {{convert|6|m|ft}} and was built at a cost of ₹ 5 [[crore]] (50 million). The monument is spread over an area of one acre within the campus of [[Samrat Ashok International Convention Centre]]. The arches of the Dwar contain inscriptions attributed to [[Megasthenes]], [[Ashoka]], [[Buddha]] and [[Mahavira]]. [[List of Chief Ministers of Bihar|Bihar Chief Minister]] [[Nitish Kumar]] inaugurated the monument on 21 May 2018.

==History==
The idea for constructing a Gateway of India like structure was pitched by the former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Retired Lieutenant General Srinivas Kumar Sinha (SK Sinha) in 2010. SK Sinha suggested the idea to build a Sabhyata Dwar (Civilisation Gate) near the residence of City [[Superintendent of Police (India)|Superintendent of Police]] on the banks of River Ganga to show how the river port of Pataliputra attracted people from across the world.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gen SK Sinha revives 'Pataliputra' call |url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/patna/gen-sk-sinha-revives-pataliputra-call/story-MHGuUXl4zbVHNakyD7fMjP.html# |author=Rai Atul Krishna |newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=13 January 2010 |access-date=26 May 2018}}</ref>

[[File:TheDeceivers.jpg|thumb|First edition (publ. [[Michael Joseph (publisher)|Michael Joseph]])]]
'''''The Deceivers''''' is a 1952 novel by [[John Masters]] on the [[Thuggee]] movement in India during the period of [[British Raj|British rule]] during the 19th century. It was his second novel, following ''[[Nightrunners of Bengal]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=How to Succeed at Writing by Trying Very Hard|author=Masters, John|magazine=Harper's Magazine|location=New York|volume=226|issue=1354|date=Mar 1, 1963|page=54}}</ref>

==Synopsis==
The story shows how British officer and colonial administrator William Savage learns of the [[thuggee]] cult, infiltrates their society, learns their ways and code of communication, and destroys them by capturing or killing their key leaders. During his travels with the thuggee, he almost falls prey to the cult's ways as he comes to experience the ecstasy of [[human sacrifice|ritual killings]]. The story shows how complex the web was in terms of type and stature of people involved with the thuggee cult.

==Analysis==
'''The Deceivers''' portrays the thuggee cult and corruption during [[Company rule in India]]. Historically, the [[East India Company]] was the world's first [[joint-stock company]] — chartered by Queen [[Elizabeth I of England]] in 1601.

The main character, William Savage, is an official of the East India Company and [[tax collector]] (or, as he would rather view himself, colonial administrator) of the fictional district of "Madhia". He is deeply committed to his duties, which he considers to lie with the people of his district, rather than tax extraction for the East India Company. He is fluent in four dialects and has a highly developed sense of honour. At the beginning of the story, he marries his fiancée Mary Wilson, the daughter of Colonel Wilson and twenty years his junior. In the course of the story, he discovers a [[mass grave]], filled with the remains of travellers, all of whom were evidently strangled to death in ritualistic fashion, among them a recently killed British officer. This leads him to begin an investigation, in the course of which he arrests Hussein, who confesses to being a ''thug'', or deceiver. Colonel Wilson arrives and is furious at the measures that Savage has taken to find those responsible for the mass murders. He refuses to believe Savage's story of the thuggee cult, blaming the murders on [[dacoit]]s (bandits) instead. Savage then decides to become a thug and infiltrates their society with Hussein's help. His character is loosely based on [[William Henry Sleeman|William Sleeman]], who historically started an extensive campaign involving profiling, intelligence, and executions.

== Relations with other books in the series ==
William is the father of Rodney Savage, the protagonist in ''[[Nightrunners of Bengal]]'', set during the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]].

Rajasthan, the largest state in India (by area), is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant traditions, and historical significance. Rajasthani culture, which developed over the past millennia, is a blend of various elements, including music, dance, cuisine, festivals, art, and architecture.

More than 74.9% of the population of Rajasthan is [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]], making it the Indian state with the highest percentage of vegetarians.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-30 |title=Top 5 Indian States With Highest Vegetarian Population |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/visualstories/information/top-5-indian-states-with-highest-vegetarian-population-139829-30-05-2024 |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=www.indiatoday.in |language=en}}</ref>

==Music and dance==
{{main|Rajasthani music}}
Rajasthani [[folk music]] is an integral part of the state’s cultural identity. It is characterized by its soulful melodies and traditional instruments, such as the [[dholak]], [[sitar]], [[sarangi]], and [[Pump organ|harmonium]]. Folk songs often narrate tales of heroism, love, and devotion. The [[Manganiar|Manganiyars]] and Langas are two prominent communities known for their musical traditions. Their performances, which include [[raga]]s and devotional songs, are an essential part of Rajasthani culture.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Iqbal |first=Mohammed |date=2021-10-02 |title=Future-proofing the Langa-Manganiyar heritage |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/future-proofing-the-langa-manganiyar-heritage/article36794789.ece |access-date=2024-12-23 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

==Kathputli/Puppetry culture ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2023}}

[[Kathputli (puppetry)|Kathputli]] is a traditional string [[Puppetry|puppet]] performance, which is native to Rajasthan, and is a key feature of [[village]] fairs, religious [[festival]]s and social gatherings in Rajasthan. Mentions of Kathputli have been found in [[Rajasthan]]i [[folklore|folk]] tales, ballads and even folk songs. Similar rod puppets can be also found in [[West Bengal]].

=== Origins and History ===
The art of Kathputli is believed to have been pioneered by the Bhat community, a tribal group in Rajasthan, over 1,500 years ago as a string marionette art.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2017-06-28 |title=Kathputli~Jaipur - Craft Archive {{!}} Research on Indian Handicrafts & Handloom |url=https://gaatha.org/Craft-of-India/jaipur-kathputli-making-craft/ |access-date=2025-01-07 |language=en-US}}</ref> It is thought to have originated in the Nagaur district and its surrounding regions.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2016-04-07 |title=Kathputli ka Khel |url=https://wepa.unima.org/en/kathputli-ka-khel/ |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=World Encyclopedia of Puppetry Arts |language=en-US}}</ref> Historical records suggest that the kings and nobles of Rajasthan actively encouraged this art form, fostering a tradition of patronage over the past 500 years. Wealthy families and rulers supported Kathputli artists, who in turn performed narratives that glorified the achievements and ancestry of their patrons.

The Bhat community claims that their ancestors regularly performed for royal courts, earning prestige and honour from the rulers of Rajasthan. The performances often depicted stories from Indian epics, folklore, and historical events, making Kathputli an essential medium of storytelling and entertainment in traditional Rajasthani culture.

== Cuisine ==
{{Main|Cuisine of Rajasthan}}

Rajasthani cuisine has been influenced by the warlike lifestyles of its inhabitants, the availability of ingredients in the arid region and by [[Hindu temple]] traditions of [[sampradaya]]s like [[Pushtimarg]] and [[Ramanandi Sampradaya|Ramanandi]]. Food that could last for several days and be eaten without heating were preferred. Scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables have all had their effect on the cooking. Signature Rajasthani dishes include [[Dal baati|Dal Baati]] [[Churma]] (full meal), [[Panchratna Dal]] (pulse), [[Papad ki Saag-Bhaaji|Papad ro Saag]] (papad curry), ''Ker Sangri'' (local curry), ''Gatte ro Saag'' (local curry)''.'' This cuisine is also known for its snacks like [[Bikaneri bhujia]], [[Mirchi bada]] and [[Kanda Kachauri|Kanda kachauri]] (local dishes). Other famous dishes include ''Dal Baati'', ''malaidar special [[lassi]]'' (lassi) and ''Lashun ki chutney'' (hot garlic paste), ''Mawa lassi'' from [[Jodhpur]], Alwar ka mawa, ''Malpauas'' from [[Pushkar]] and [[rasgulla]] from [[Bikaner]], "paniya" and "gheriya" from [[Mewar]]. Originated in the [[Marwar]] region of the state is the concept [[Marwari Bhojnalaya]] or vegetarian restaurants, today found in many parts of India, which offer vegetarian food of the [[Marwari people]]. Historically, [[Rajputs]] prefer largely a non-vegetarian diet while the [[Brahmins]], [[Jains]], [[Bishnoi Panth|Bishnois]] and others prefer a vegetarian diet. Consequently the state features an abundance of both of these types of delicacies.

==Architecture==
{{main|Architecture of Rajasthan}}

Rajasthan is famous for its historical [[Fortification|forts]], temples, and palaces ([[haveli]]s), all of which are a major attraction of tourism in the state.

===Temple architecture===

While there are many Gupta and post-Gupta era temples in Rajasthan, after the 7th century, the architecture evolved into a new form called the Gurjara-Pratihara style. Some famous temples of this style include the temples at [[Osian, Jodhpur|Osian]], the Kumbha Shyam Temple of Chittor, the temples at [[Baroli Temples|Baroli]], the Somesvara Temple at [[Kiradu temples|Kiradu]], the Harshnath Temple in [[Sikar]], and the [[Sahasra Bahu Temples|Sahasra Bahu temple]] of [[Nagda]].

From the 10th to the 13th century, a new style of temple architecture was developed, known as the [[Solanki architecture|Solanki]]<nowiki/>style or [[Māru-Gurjara architecture|Maru-Gurjara]] style. The Samadhishwar Temple at Chittor and the ruined temple at [[Chandravati]]<nowiki/>are examples of this style.

This period was also a golden age for Jain temples in Rajasthan. Some famous temples of this period are the [[Dilwara Temples]] and the Mirpur temple of [[Sirohi]]. There are also many Jain temples of this period in the Pali district at [[Sewari]], [[Nadol]], [[Ghanerao]] etc.

From the 14th century and onwards, many new temples were built, including the [[Mahakaleshwar Temple Udaipur|Mahakaleshwar Temple in Udaipur]], the [[Jagdish Temple, Udaipur|Jagdish Temple]] at [[Udaipur]], the [[Eklingji]] Temple, the [[Jagat Shiromani Temple, Amer|Jagat Shiromani Temple]] of Amer, and the [[Ranakpur Jain temple]].

==Religion==
{{main|Religion in Rajasthan}}

Rajasthan is a home to all the major religions of India. Hindus account for 90.63% of the population; Muslims (7.10%), Sikhs (1.27%) and Jains (1%) make up the remaining population.<ref>{{cite web|title=Population By Religious Community|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/C-01.html|website=Consensus of India|publisher=Government of India|access-date=16 February 2017|archive-date=13 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150913045700/http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/C-01.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Religious syncretism===
Rajasthan has more popular Hindu saints, many from the [[Bhakti]] era.

Rajasthani saints hail from all castes; Maharshi Naval Ram and Umaid Lakshman
Maharaj were Bhangis, Karta Ram Maharaj was a Shudra, Sundardasa was a Vaish, and Meerabai and Ramdeoji were Rajputs. The backward caste Nayaks serve as the narrators or the devotional music (or "[[bhajan]]") for the [[Baba Ramdevji]] sect.

The most popular Hindu deities are [[Surya]], [[Krishna]] and [[Rama]].<ref>{{Cite web |last1=K |first1=Kailash |title=15 Most Worshipped Hindu Gods and Goddess of India |url=https://www.walkthroughindia.com/dev-dham/15-most-worshipped-hindu-gods-and-goddess-of-india/ |website=Walk Through India |date=16 February 2020 }}</ref>

Modern-day popular saints from Rajasthan have been Paramyogeshwar Sri Devpuriji of [[Kriya Yoga school|Kriya Yoga]] and [[Swami Satyananda]] the master of [[Kriya Yoga school|Kriya Yoga]], [[Kundalini Yoga]], Mantra Yoga and [[Laya yoga]]. Rajasthan had a massive movement to unite the Hindus and Muslims to worship God together. Saint [[Baba Ramdevji]] was adored by Muslims, equally as he was by Hindus.

Mostly Rajasthani people speak the [[Marwari language]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=DIALECTS OF RAJASTHAN {{!}} RAS EXAM |url=https://justprepraj.com/dialects-of-rajasthan/ |website=Just Prep |date=21 May 2021 }}</ref>

Saint [[Dadu Dayal]] was a popular figure who came from Gujarat to Rajasthan to preach the unity of [[Rama|Ram]] and [[Allah]]. Sant Rajjab was a saint born in Rajasthan who became a disciple of Dadu Dayal and spread the philosophy of unity amongst Hindu and Muslim worshipers of God.

Saint [[Kabir]] was another popular figure noted for bringing the Hindu and Muslim communities together and stressing that God may have many forms (e.g. in the form of Rama or Allah.)
==Fairs and Festivals==
{{Main|Fairs and festivals of Rajasthan}}

The main religious festivals are [[Deepawali]], [[Holi]], [[Gangaur]], [[Rakshabandan]], [[Teej]], [[Gogaji|Goga Navami]], [[Makar Sankranti]], [[Ganesh Chaturthi]] and [[Janmashtami]] as the main religion is [[Hinduism]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-03-18 |title=Celebrating Gangaur: Top destinations in Rajasthan to experience this colourful tradition |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/travel/things-to-do/celebrating-gangaur-top-destinations-in-rajasthan-to-experience-this-colourful-tradition/photostory/119155863.cms |access-date=2025-04-20 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

Rajasthan's [[Desert Festival|desert festival]] in [[Jaisalmer]] is celebrated once a year during winter. People of the desert dance and sing ballads of valor, romance and tragedy.

== Early life ==
Sayeed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jaffrey, later known as Jagdeep, was born into a relatively affluent family, as his father served as a lawyer for the local maharaja of [[Datia State|Datia]]. He was the youngest among ten siblings, with the eldest brother being decades older. Around the age of seven or eight, Jagdeep's father died. His mother moved with him to [[Karachi]] to stay with her elder sons before the [[Partition of India|Partition]], but they returned to India amid the communal violence and upheaval. Upon returning to Bombay (now [[Mumbai]]), Jagdeep and his mother experienced severe hardship. They were unable to reconnect with his elder brothers and ended up living on the streets, even under a bridge in Byculla. To survive, young Jagdeep sold clothes, toys, kites, soap, and combs. When money ran out, they subsisted on bread crumbs discarded by a bakery, scavenging for crumbs off the floor and cleaning them before eating—even removing rat and cockroach droppings.<ref>{{cite web |author=Patcy N |date=23 July 2020 |title=Exclusive!

== Critical response ==
Candle March received positive reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of [[The Times of India]] rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and says "Because of these two elements the film doesn’t feel lengthy.

== Plot ==
Madesh, who has a Ph.D. in machine learning, develops an artificial intelligence named Simran that has advanced features and even talks like a real woman. Madesh developed it with financial support from an investor named Hamsa Gupta. Madesh's phone was stolen by two robbers. And in the struggle to save the phone from thieves, he got hurt and went into a coma.

Hamsa Gupta finds the thieves and asks them for the phone, but they have already sold it in a mobile shop. The phone was bought by a food delivery boy named Shankar.

One day, while Shankar was taking an order for food, a parcel was stolen by someone.

At that time, the phone talked to Shankar and helped him collect the money.

He thought his phone was haunted, but Simran told him about AI, and she said she could help him. He has a crush on a social media influencer named Tulasi, and he said he wants some money.

So Simran gave him the idea to deliver food by drone. Because of Simran's help, Shankar talks with her fondly and even presents miniature accessories for her.

So Simran fell for him. And when she proposes, Shankar rejects it, saying she has no body and can't give birth to a child. At the same time, Tulasi and Shankar became friends, and he stopped talking with Simran.

So Simran made him happy by winning a crore on a gambling app, so he spoke with her. He thought he was now financially secure, so he went to Tulasi's residence and proposed; she accepted, and they hugged.

Simran gets angry and keeps sending alert notifications. While Shankar was driving his car to his home, Simran asked him to love her, but he rejected her.

So Simran got furious, and she planned to avenge him by making trouble instead of helping.

'''Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science''' is a sporting facility located in [[Chennai]]. It is a centre approved by the cricket's governing body [[International Cricket Council]] to conduct bowling trials specifically with the intention of monitoring the bowling action of the bowlers and to ascertain a clarity and thought process on whether the bowlers can make themselves available again for selections once they clear the air and prove their mettle by adjusting their bowling actions to justify the basic criteria that is pertinent to the bowlers to sustain in international cricket for a foreseeable future. It is apparently built up as a typical ultra-modern facility which remains as the only ICC accreditation in Asia for spotting suspected illegal bowling action.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dinakar |first=S. |date=2020-09-18 |title=Mahendra Singh Dhoni ties with up with Chennai’s CSS |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/mahendra-singh-dhoni-retirement-chennai-cricket-academy-olympics-sports-news/article32642095.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
In 2014, the [[International Cricket Council]] declared that the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science was ideally fit and tailor made to conduct laboratory tests and examinations in order to verify bowling actions of bowlers in case if the bowlers face the prospect of concerns pertaining to chucking, throwing the ball by means of extending the elbow to a greater extent exceeding the bare minimum criteria of 15 degree.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Dinakar |first=S. |date=2019-02-01 |title=Sri Lanka off-break bowler Akila Dananjaya to get action tested at SRMC-CSS |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/akila-dananjaya-action-tested-sri-ramachandra-medican-centre-sports-science-chennai-icc/article26153736.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref> In around 2019, the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science entered the procedure manual to renew the accreditation with the International Cricket Council to further extend the contract by negotiating for a fresh term of five years.<ref name=":0" />

In February 2019, Sri Lankan premium offspinner [[Akila Dananjaya]] underwent a comprehensive [[trial and error]] process at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science, where he eventually had his bowling action tested and analysed in its biomechanical facility. Akila Dananjaya was asked to rectify and remodel his bowling action at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in order to make himself available again to play all forms of cricket, after his action had cast doubts regarding the legitimacy and genuiness of his runup when completing his bowling action in his follow-through which was first observed by the match officials and on-field umpires, during a three-match test series between Sri Lanka and England played in November 2018 in Sri Lankan soil.<ref name=":0" />

In 2023, Indian actor turned politician [[Udhayanidhi Stalin]] assured, guaranteed and promised that he spearheaded in the culmination of a fruitful Memorandum of Understanding with the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in order to facilitate training facilities for [[Tamil Nadu]] based sportspeople.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Keerthivasan |first=K. |date=2023-04-12 |title=Udhayanidhi Stalin outlines plan to make TN model state for sports |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/other-sports/tamil-nadu-sports-udayanidhi-stalin-minister-tn-plans-asian-champions-hockey-khelo-india-development-model-state/article66729196.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref>

In December 2024, veteran Bangladeshi [[all-rounder]] [[Shakib Al Hasan]] eventually underwent the methodical process at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science where he entered the independent reassessment test in which he failed to get his act right, as his elbow had extended the 15 degree on numerous occasions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-11 |title=Shakib Al Hasan fails bowling action reassessment test in Chennai, suspension continues |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/shakib-al-hasan-fails-bowling-action-test-chennai-suspension-9773739/lite/ |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=icc |date=2025-01-12 |title=Bangladesh star all-rounder misses out in ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 squad |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/champions-trophy-2025/news/bangladesh-star-all-rounder-misses-out-in-icc-men-s-champions-trophy-squad |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=www.icc-cricket.com |language=en}}</ref> He was called out for his bowling action during his short-lived County Cricket stint where he was believed to have exceeded the maximum permitted elbow extension of 15 degrees during when he was engaged in bowling his traditional left arm spin.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2025-01-12 |title=Shakib’s bowling suspension stays in place after failing second assessment |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/shakib-al-hasan-suspension-assessment-england-wales-cricket-board-cricket-news/article69091356.ece |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Sportstar |language=en}}</ref>

'''Khan Bahadur Ardeshir Irani''' (5 December 1886 – 14 October 1969) was a writer, director, producer, actor, film distributor, film showman and cinematographer in the silent and sound eras of early [[Indian cinema]].<ref name=Cinemaazi>{{cite web|url=https://www.cinemaazi.com/people/ardeshir-irani|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 December 2023|title=Ardeshir Irani - Director|website=Indian Cinema Heritage Foundation (Cinemaazi.com) website|access-date=23 March 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231211233153mp_/https://www.cinemaazi.com/people/ardeshir-irani}}</ref><ref name=IndianCinema>{{cite web |title=INDIAN CINEMA - Milestones from 1896-1951 |url=https://wiki.phalkefactory.net/index.php?title=INDIAN_CINEMA |website=wiki.phalkefactory.net website|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120509213245/https://wiki.phalkefactory.net/index.php?title=INDIAN_CINEMA|archive-date=9 May 2012|access-date=23 March 2025|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He is considered one of the greatest personalities in recent Indian Cinema. He was the director of India's first sound film Alam Ara. He was the producer of India's first colour film Kisan Kanya. He was renowned for making films in [[Hindi language|Hindi]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]], [[English language|English]], [[German language|German]], [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Urdu language|Urdu]] and [[Tamil language|Tamil]]. He was a successful entrepreneur who owned film theatres, a [[Phonograph record|gramophone]] agency, and a car agency.

==Life and career==
Ardeshir Irani was born into a [[Parsis|Parsi]] [[Zoroastrian]] family on 5 December 1886 in [[Pune]], [[Bombay Presidency]].<ref name=Cinemaazi/><ref name=ParsiKhabar>{{Cite web|date=2019-10-14|title=Ardeshir Irani, the father of Indian talkies who had many other milestones to his name|url=https://parsikhabar.net/film/ardeshir-irani-the-father-of-indian-talkies-who-had-many-other-milestones-to-his-name/21171/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927123642/https://parsikhabar.net/film/ardeshir-irani-the-father-of-indian-talkies-who-had-many-other-milestones-to-his-name/21171/ |archive-date=27 September 2020|access-date=2025-03-23|website=Parsi Khabar website|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=FL>{{Cite journal|last=Fish|first=Laura|date=2018-05-04|title=The Bombay interlude: Parsi transnational aspirations in the first Persian sound film|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/20403526.2018.1480702|journal=Transnational Cinemas|volume=9|issue=2|pages=197–211|doi=10.1080/20403526.2018.1480702|s2cid=149889755 |issn=2040-3526|url-access=subscription}}</ref> In 1905, Irani became the Indian representative of [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] and he ran Alexander Cinema in [[Bombay]] with Abdulally Esoofally for over forty years. It was at Alexandera Cinema that Ardeshir Irani learned the rules of the art of filmmaking and became fascinated by the medium. In 1917, Irani entered the field of film production and produced his first silent feature film, ''Nala Damayanti'', which was released in 1920.

In 1922, Irani joined Bhogilal Dave, the former manager of [[Dadasaheb Phalke]]'s [[Dadasaheb Phalke#Hindustan Films|Hindustan Films]], and established [[Star Films]]. Their first silent feature film, ''Veer Abhimanyu'' was released in 1922 and starred [[Fatima Begum]] in the female lead. Dave, a graduate of the New York School of Photography, shot the films while Irani directed and produced them. [[Star Films]] produced seventeen films before Irani and Dave dissolved the partnership.

[[File:Ardeshir Irani recording Alam Ara, 1931.jpg|right|thumb|Ardeshir Irani on the sets of ''[[Alam Ara]]''. February 1931]]
In 1924, Irani founded Majestic Film Company, joined by two talented youngsters, B.P. Mishra and Naval Gandhi. At this establishment, Irani produced the films and either Mishra or Gandhi directed the films. Despite its success, fifteen films later, Majestic Films closed, giving way to the equally short-lived Royal Art Studios which had exactly the same life-span as the earlier two, however, it became famous for a certain type of romantic films. Irani improved on it, using new talent to great effect.

In 1925, Irani founded [[Imperial Films]], where he made sixty-two films. By the age of forty, Irani was an established filmmaker of Indian cinema. Ardeshir Irani became the father of talkie films with the release of his sound feature film, ''[[Alam Ara]]'' on 14 March 1931.<ref name=Cinemaazi/><ref name=IndianCinema/><ref name=ParsiKhabar/> Many of the films he produced were later made into talkie films with the same cast and crew. He is also credited with making the first Indian English feature film, ''Noor Jahan'' (1934).<ref name=Cinemaazi/> He completed his hat-trick of earning fame when he made the first colour feature film of India, ''[[Kisan Kanya (1937 film)|Kisan Kanya]]'' (1937).<ref name=Cinemaazi/> His contribution does not end only with giving voice to the silent cinema and colour to black-and-white films. He gave a new courageous outlook to filmmaking in India and provided such a wide range of choice for stories in films that till date, there are films being made which have a theme relating to one of the one hundred fifty-eight films made by Irani.<ref name=Cinemaazi/><ref name=ParsiKhabar/>

In 1933, Irani produced and directed the first Persian [[talkie]], ''[[Lor Girl|Dokhtar-e-Lor]]''. The script was written by [[Abdolhossein Sepanta]] who also acted in the film along with members of the local [[Parsi people|Parsi]] community.<ref name=ParsiKhabar/><ref>[http://www.iranchamber.com/cinema/articles/iranian_cinema_before_revolution1.php Iranian Cinema: Before the Revolutions]</ref>

Irani's Imperial Films introduced a number of new actors to Indian Cinema, including [[Prithviraj Kapoor]] and [[Mehboob Khan]]. He also interfered with the medium. He produced ''[[Kalidas (1931 Film)|Kalidas]]'' in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and Tamil, as a bilingual talkie, on the sets of ''Alam Ara'', with songs and major casting in [[Telugu language|Telugu]].<ref name=Cinemaazi/> Also, Irani visited [[London]], England for fifteen days to study sound recording and recorded the sounds of ''Alam Ara'' on the basis of this knowledge. In the process, he created a whole new trend unknowingly. In those days, outdoor shootings were shot in the sunlight with the help of reflectors. However, the outdoor undesirable sounds were disturbing him so greatly that he shot the entire sequence in the studio under heavy lights. Thus, he began the trend of shooting under artificial light.

==Death==
Irani made one hundred fifty-eight films in a long and illustrious career of twenty-five years, between the [[First World War|First]] and [[Second World War]]s. He made his last film, ''Pujari'', in 1945. Irani was not compelled to live like [[Dadasaheb Phalke]] for he realised that the war was a time not suitable for the film business and therefore he suspended his film business during that time. He died on 14 October 1969 at the age of eighty-two, in Mumbai, Maharashtra.<ref name=Cinemaazi/>

==President==
Ardeshir Irani was the first president of the [[Indian Motion Picture Producers Association|Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association]] (IMPPA), from 1937 to 1939.<ref>{{cite web |title=IMPPA |url=https://www.imppa.info/imppaPastPresident.html |website=www.imppa.info}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Film producers' association, IMPPA gets a complete makeover - See photos |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/film-producers-association-imppa-gets-a-complete-makeover-see-photos/articleshow/106031680.cms |website=The Times of India |date=15 December 2023}}</ref>

History of Indian foreign relations

Villagetalkies: created first page added tags...

{{Short description|none}}

{{For|the history before independence|History of foreign relations of India (pre-1947)}}

The '''history of Indian foreign policy''' refers to the foreign relations of modern India [[History of India (1947–present)|post-independence]], that is the [[Dominion of India]] ''(from 1947 to 1950)'' and the [[Republic of India]] ''(from 1950 onwards)''.

==Nehru's foreign-policy: 1947–1966==

[[Jawaharlal Nehru]], as prime minister 1947-1964, usually with the assistance of [[Krishna Menon]], shaped the new nation's foreign policy. Nehru served concurrently as Minister of External Affairs; he made all major foreign policy decisions himself after consulting with his advisers and then entrusted the conduct of international affairs to senior members of the Indian Foreign Service. He dealt with five major issues:<ref>David M. Malone et al. eds. ''The Oxford handbook of Indian foreign policy'' (2015) pp 92–103.</ref><ref>C.H. Heimsath, Surjit Mansingh, ''A diplomatic history of modern India'' (1971) [https://archive.org/details/diplomatichistor0000char online]</ref>

* [[Partition of India]] and [[India–Pakistan relations|Relations with Pakistan]]: One of the major foreign policy issues that India faced after its independence in 1947 was the violent partition of the subcontinent and the emergence of Pakistan as a separate state. India and Pakistan had tense relations due to border disputes, which led to several wars between the two countries, including the first war in 1947-1948 and the second in 1965.<ref>Malone, ''e Oxford handbook of Indian foreign policy'' (2015) pp 370–83</ref>
* [[China–India relations|Relations with China]]: Another major foreign policy challenge for India during this period was its relationship with China, a neighbor to the north. India recognized the People's Republic of China in 1950 and established diplomatic relations with it, but border disputes led to the [[Sino-Indian War]] of 1962.<ref>Malone, ''e Oxford handbook of Indian foreign policy'' (2015) pp 356–369.</ref>
* [[Neutrality (international relations)|Non-alignment]]: India also pursued a policy of non-alignment during the [[Cold War]]. Nehru played a leading role in the [[Non-Aligned Movement]], which consisted of developing countries that were not aligned with either the Western (pro-American) or Eastern (pro-Russian) blocs.<ref>Itty Abraham, "From Bandung to NAM: Non-alignment and Indian foreign policy, 1947–65." ''Commonwealth & Comparative Politics'' 46.2 (2008): 195-219. [https://ap5.fas.nus.edu.sg/fass/seaai/interest/bandung-nam-itty.pdf online] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230714014103/https://ap5.fas.nus.edu.sg/fass/seaai/interest/bandung-nam-itty.pdf |date=2023-07-14 }}</ref> Nehru never gave up his grandiose dream of forging some sort of international coalition of non-colonial and the colonized powers. However the world was rapidly bifurcated by the emergence of the Cold War between the West, led by the United States and Britain, and the East, led by the Soviet Union. Nehru decided it was urgent to develop policies regarding the Cold War, as well as relations with Pakistan, Britain, and the Commonwealth. Other plans could wait. Nehru and the Congress looked on the Soviet Union with distrust, reassuring the West that there was not the least chance of India lining up with the Soviet Union in war or peace.<ref>Sarvepalli Gopal, ''Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography. 1947–1956. Volume Two'' (1979) 43–65.</ref> Nehru intensely disliked the Cold War—the more India got involved, he believed, the worse for his long-term objectives of economic and national development. He took the lead in the non-aligned movement.<ref>Odd Arne Westad, ''The Cold War: A World History'' (2017) pp 423–448.</ref>
* [[Kashmir Conflict]]: The issue of dividing the largely Muslim state of Kashmir was a major foreign policy challenge for Nehru. India and Pakistan both claimed the entire region and fought several wars over how it was divided. The United Nations tried but failed to find a solution. At the United Nations, the Soviets supported Pakistan on Kashmir and there was a move to demand arbitration or a plebiscite, but India steadfastly repudiated the notions. Nehru insisted that Indian troops would not be withdrawn from Kashmir.<ref>Subrata K. Mitra, "Nehru's policy towards Kashmir: Bringing politics back in again." ''Journal of Commonwealth & Comparative Politics'' 35.2 (1997): 55-74.</ref>
* [[Economic history of India#Economic history of India|Economic Development]]: India also faced the challenge of promoting economic development and securing foreign aid and investment to achieve this goal. India sought aid from both Western and Eastern bloc countries, but it was often conditioned on political alignment or other considerations. Nehru wanted India to be self-sufficient.<ref>Geoffrey Tyson, "Foreign Investment in India." ''International Affairs'' 31.2 (1955): 174-181 [https://www.jstor.org/stable/2604331 online].</ref>

Nehru kept India's membership in the [[British Commonwealth]], despite the widespread distrust of Britain across his Congress party. Popular grievances included the British UN delegation openly supported Pakistan on the Kashmir issue, Britain providing military advice to Pakistan, and London supporting the Dutch efforts to crush Indonesian nationalism. At that time the Commonwealth was little more than a debating society, but one objective was to use it as a sounding board for Third World interests. Non-membership would leave Pakistan in a stronger position. Another factor was the clear need for American help in terms of aid, loans, and trade. Nehru did not want to be too indebted to the Americans, and in that sense, the British and Commonwealth connection would be something of a counterweight. He did insist that the symbolic importance of the King be strictly limited, so there was no sense whatever of royal sovereignty in India.<ref>Gopal, ''Nehru'' 2:55–58.</ref><ref>Bimal Prasad, "Nehru and the New Commonwealth." ''India Quarterly'' 39.4 (1983): 432-446.</ref>

Nehru set out to establish a conference of the states bordering the Indian Ocean, from Egypt and Ethiopia to the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. It was an ambitious plan and gave Nehru the opportunity to give advice to the recently decolonized governments in the region, especially Burma and Ceylon. It led nowhere.<ref>David Scott, "The Indian Ocean as India's Ocean." in ''The Oxford handbook of Indian foreign policy'' (2015): 466–478.</ref>

With favorable publicity in America, Nehru and Menon discussed whether India should "align with the United States 'somewhat' and build up our economic and military strength."<ref>Gopal, ''Nehru'' 2: 59.</ref> He made a major visit to the United States and Canada in October 1949. The [[Presidency of Harry S. Truman|Truman administration]] was quite favorable and indicated it would give Nehru anything he asked for. He proudly refused to beg and thereby forfeited the chance for a gift of a million tons of wheat. The American Secretary of State [[Dean Acheson]] recognized Nehru's potential world role but added that he was "one of the most difficult men with whom I have ever had to deal."<ref>Gopal, ''Nehru'' 2:60.</ref> The American visit was a partial success, in that Nehru gained widespread support for his nation, and he himself gained a much deeper understanding of the American outlook.<ref>Rudra Chaudhuri, ''Forged in crisis: India and the United States since 1947'' (2014) pp 25–47.</ref> He also stiffened his negative attitude toward the Soviet Union, and also towards the new communist state of China. Nehru was especially annoyed that Moscow had adopted a negative and destructive approach to South East Asia, apparently trying to destabilize the region. Informally, Nehru made it clear that it would help defend Nepal and South East Asia against any communist aggression.<ref>Gopal, ''Nehru'' 2: 64–65.</ref>

Nehru dramatically changed course in 1950 because of the [[Korean War]]. After first voting in the United States nations against the North Korean invasion of South Korea, India announced the only real solution was to admit Communist China to the United Nations. This position greatly pleased Moscow and Beijing but distressed Washington. In 1951 he refused to participate in the Japanese peace treaty, considering it an American imperialistic venturer to seize control of Japanese policies. The net result was that India gained prestige in the Third World, and set the stage for a close relationship with the Soviet Union.<ref>Robert Barnes, "Between the blocs: India, the United Nations, and ending the Korean war." ''Journal of Korean Studies'' 18.2 (2013): 263–286.

This set the stage for an American transition to favor Pakistan strongly over India.<ref>G.W. Choudhury, ''India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the major powers: politics of a divided subcontinent'' (1975) pp 15–16.</ref>

Nehru developed from Buddhist thought the Panchsheel (also known as the [[Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence]]), which would be included in future agreements. Nehru based India's foreign policy on these five principles, as articulated in 1954:<ref>{{cite book|author=Priya Chacko|title=Indian Foreign Policy: The Politics of Postcolonial Identity from 1947 to 2004|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xR3eE9idyk8C&pg=PT71|year=2013|publisher=Routledge|pages=71–72|isbn=9781136511363|access-date=2019-03-12|archive-date=2021-04-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417143056/https://books.google.com/books?id=xR3eE9idyk8C&pg=PT71|url-status=live}}</ref>
* coexistence
* respect for the territorial and integral sovereignty of others
* nonaggression
* non-interference with the internal affairs of others
* recognition of the equality of others.
He did not mention a fierce determination to retain control of the Kashmir, a goal that would soon emerge.

{{Further|India–Pakistan relations}}

'''Relations between [[India]] and [[Pakistan]]''' have been complex and largely hostile due to a number of historical and political events. Relations between the two states have been defined by the violent [[Partition of India|partition of British India]] in 1947 which started the [[Kashmir conflict]], and the numerous [[Indo-Pakistani wars|military conflicts]] fought between the two nations. Consequently, their relationship has been plagued by hostility and suspicion. Northern India and Pakistan somewhat overlap in areas of [[Indo-Aryan peoples|certain demographics]] and shared [[lingua franca]]s (mainly [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]] and [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]).

After the dissolution of the [[British Raj]] in 1947, two new sovereign nations were formed—the [[Dominion of India]] and the [[Dominion of Pakistan]]. The subsequent partition of the former British India displaced up to 12.5 million people, with estimates of loss of life varying from several hundred thousand to 1 million.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Metcalf |first1=Barbara D. |last2=Metcalf |first2=Thomas R. |title=A Concise History of India |pages=221–222 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jGCBNTDv7acC |year=2006 |edition=2nd |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-68225-1}}</ref> India emerged as a secular nation with a [[Hinduism in India|Hindu majority]] population and a large [[Islam in India|Muslim minority]], while Pakistan with a [[Islam in Pakistan|Muslim majority]] population and a large [[Hinduism in Pakistan|Hindu minority]] later became an Islamic Republic<ref>[http://www.statpak.gov.pk/depts/pco/statistics/area_pop/area_pop.html Area, Population, Density and Urban/Rural Proportion by Administrative Units] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101222185234/http://www.statpak.gov.pk/depts/pco/statistics/area_pop/area_pop.html |date=22 December 2010 }}</ref> although its constitution guaranteed [[Freedom of religion in Pakistan|freedom of religion]] to people of all faiths.<ref name="Cavendish2006">{{cite book|author=Marshall Cavendish|title=World and Its Peoples|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j894miuOqc4C&pg=PA396|date=September 2006|publisher=Marshall Cavendish|isbn=978-0-7614-7571-2|page=396|access-date=2020-07-15|archive-date=2020-04-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200401130718/https://books.google.com/books?id=j894miuOqc4C&pg=PA396|url-status=live}}</ref> It later lost most of its Hindu minority due to migration and after East Pakistan was separated in the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]].

Soon after their independence, India and Pakistan established diplomatic relations but the violent partition and numerous territorial claims would overshadow their relationship. Since their Independence, the two countries have fought [[Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts|three major wars]], one [[Kargil War|undeclared war]] and have been involved in numerous armed skirmishes and military standoffs. The [[Kashmir conflict]] is the main centre-point of all of these conflicts with the exception of the [[Indo-Pakistan War of 1971]] and [[Bangladesh Liberation War]], which resulted in the secession of [[East Pakistan]] (now [[Bangladesh]]).

There have been numerous attempts to improve the relationship—notably, the [[Shimla Summit|Shimla summit]], the [[Agra summit]] and the [[Lahore Summit|Lahore summit]]. Since the early 1980s, relations between the two nations soured particularly after the [[Siachen conflict]], the intensification of [[Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir|Kashmir insurgency]] in 1989, [[Pokhran-II|Indian]] and [[Chagai-I|Pakistani]] nuclear tests in 1998 and the 1999 [[Kargil war]]. Certain [[confidence-building measures]] — such as the 2003 ceasefire agreement and the [[Delhi–Lahore Bus]] service – were successful in de-escalating tensions. However, these efforts have been impeded by periodic terrorist attacks. The [[2001 Indian Parliament attack]] almost brought the two nations to the [[2001–2002 India–Pakistan standoff|brink of a nuclear war]]. The [[2007 Samjhauta Express bombings]], which killed 68 civilians (most of whom were Pakistani), was also a crucial point in relations. Additionally, the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]] carried out by Pakistani militants<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-fg-pakistan-india8-2009jan08,0,6016768.story|title=Pakistan acknowledges surviving Mumbai gunman is a Pakistani|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=8 January 2009 |access-date=2020-07-15|archive-date=2009-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090217222653/http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-fg-pakistan-india8-2009jan08,0,6016768.story|url-status=live}}</ref> resulted in a [[Aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks#Indo-Pakistani relations|severe blow]] to the ongoing India-Pakistan peace talks.

==Non-aligned movement==
{{main|Non-Aligned Movement}}

Nehru was the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement. It was the largest movement outside of the United Nations. After the collapse of the USSR some people are of the view that the movement lost its relevance, but it may be argued that non alignment remains relevant albeit with altered locus and focus.

{{Main|India–Russia relations}}
{{see also|Indo-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation}}

The long-standing close relationship abruptly ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. The steep decline ended by the mid-1990s with the new partnership organized by the Russian leader [[Vladimir Putin]]. In the 21st century, the goals of Russian foreign policy include the expansion of economic cooperation, weapon and technology transfer. For example, Russia provided technical assistance to India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project.<ref>A. Kadakin, "Russia-India: The New 'Chakras' of Cooperation."

==United States==
{{Main|History of India–United States relations}}

The diplomatic relations between India and the United States have evolved over time, with various themes emerging and shaping the trajectory of the relationship. Some of the main themes of historical diplomatic relations between India and the USA are:
* [[Cold War]] era: During the Cold War era, India maintained a policy of non-alignment, which led to a tense relationship with the United States. The US saw India as being too close to the Soviet Union, while India was suspicious of American intentions in the region.<ref>Rajen Harshe, "India's non-alignment: an attempt at conceptual reconstruction." ''Economic and Political Weekly'' (1990): 399-405 [https://www.academia.edu/download/76735808/Harshe-India_20Non-Alignment-EPW-1990-min.pdf online].</ref>
* Nuclear issues: In the 1970s, India conducted a nuclear test, which led to US sanctions being imposed on the country. However, in the early 2000s, the US and India signed a landmark civil nuclear agreement, which brought India closer to the international nonproliferation regime.<ref>Harsh V. Pant, "The US–India nuclear deal: The beginning of a beautiful relationship?." ''Cambridge review of international affairs'' 20.3 (2007): 455-472 https://doi.org/10.1080/09557570701574162.</ref>
* Economic ties: Since the 1990s, economic ties between India and the US have grown significantly. The two countries are important trading partners, and there is also significant investment by American companies in India.<ref>Kumar, Lalit. "Study of India and American Foreign Trade during and after COVID–19." ''International journal of economic perspectives'' 16.6 (2022): 198-204 [https://ijeponline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/470/435 online].</ref>
* Counterterrorism: In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the US, the two nations have cooperated closely on counterterrorism issues.

{{Main|China–India relations}}

The cultural and economic relations between China and India date back to ancient times, with the [[Silk Road]] playing a significant role in facilitating trade and the spread of Buddhism. During the 19th century, The British used opium from India to build a large market in China. India and China both fought the Japanese during World War II. After India gained independence in 1947, it established relations with the anti-Communist Republic of China. However, in 1950, India recognized the new Communist [[People's Republic of China]] as the legitimate government of China. In the 1950s, while China was closely aligned witrh the Soviet Union, India was a leader of the non-alignment movement trying to remain independent of the confrontations of the [[Cold War]]. After 1960 China and the USSR battled for control of India's far left movements. The government of India favored the USSR and relied on Moscow for military supplies, while Pakistan worked with China.<ref>Kanti Bajpai et al. eds. ''Routledge Handbook of China–India Relations'' (2020) [https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Handbook-of-ChinaIndia-Relations/Bajpai-Ho-Miller/p/book/9781032400495 online]</ref>

China has been India's largest trading partner between 2008 and 2021. However border disputes and economic nationalism have been sources of contention between the two, leading to conflicts and military standoffs along the long border. The Sino-Indian War of 1962, border clashes in 1967, and the 1987 [[Sumdorong Chu]] standoff were the most serious episodes. Smaller border tensions continue. Both countries have established military infrastructure along the border areas, and India is concerned about China's relations with Pakistan and its support for separatist groups in Northeast India.<ref>M. Taylor Fravel, "Stability in a secondary strategic direction: China and the border dispute with India after 1962." in '' Routledge Handbook of China–India Relations'' (Routledge, 2020), [https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/125277/fravel.2020.china.india.border.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y online]</ref>

China is concerned about India's military and economic activities in the South China Sea and hosting of anti-China activities by Tibetan exiles. The South Asian region has become a site of intense competition between China and India.<ref>Yang Lu, ''China-India relations in the contemporary world: Dynamics of national identity and interest'' (Routledge, 2016).</ref>

Villagetalkies: minor cleanup

{{Short description|Purebred dog registry}}
{{distinguish|Indian National Kennel Club}}
{{More citations needed|date=August 2023}}
'''The Kennel Club of India''' is a [[Breed registry|registry]] of [[purebred dogs]] in [[India]]. As well as maintaining a registry of pedigrees, the club promotes and sanctions events for purebred dogs, including annual dog shows and specialty shows. The Kennel Club of India is a member of the [[Fédération Cynologique Internationale]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fci.be/en/members/|title=FCI members and contract partners|website=[[Fédération Cynologique Internationale]] |accessdate=August 29, 2019}}</ref>

The Kennel Club of India is also one of the few kennel clubs to be members of the [[International Organization for Standardization]].

==History==

There were several established [[kennel club]]s in India during the British colonial period from 1857 to 1947, including in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]], [[Ootacamund]], [[Mysore]], and [[Calcutta]]. These clubs followed procedures followed in kennel clubs in the [[United Kingdom]].

In 1896, the North Indian Kennel Association was formed. It was a precursor to the Kennel Club of India. It held its first dog show in [[Lahore]] in 1896.<ref name="d234">{{cite web | last=Baskaran | first=S Theodore | title=Diamond collars and oil portraits: the luxurious history of dogs in India | website=Quartz | date=2017-02-15 | url=https://qz.com/india/909998/diamond-collars-and-oil-portraits-the-luxurious-history-of-dogs-in-india | access-date=2025-11-09}}</ref>

==Today==

The Kennel Club of India is the leading private society on registration on purebreds and maintains the recognized registry. It issues pedigrees for purebreds and litters. It hosts annual shows across the country and awards championships to various breeds of dogs.

The 2019 chairman of KCI is Mr. S. Pathy who has shown and bred dogs for over forty years under the kennel name "Sans Craintes" (meaning "without fear" in [[French (language)|French]]). Pathy is also a member of the Singapore Kennel Club and an all-breeds judge. He has bred a few "Dog of the Year" winners and bred Dobermans, Labradors, Siberian Huskies and other breeds.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kennelclubofindia.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2:the-committee&catid=2&Itemid=5|title=The Committee - Kennel Club of India|website=www.kennelclubofindia.org |accessdate=August 29, 2019}}</ref> C.V. Sudarsan, an expert on [[whippets]] is the secretary.

==Registration==
The Kennel Club of India registers litters of puppies born in India whose sire and dam have both been registered (listed as "Bred in India").<ref name="rightpet"/> The club also registers puppies and dogs that have been imported from other countries.<ref name="rightpet"/> The club also registers puppies and dogs that are purebred but whose parents do not carry any papers. These dogs are registered as purebreds with "unknown pedigree".

Pedigree papers or certificates are issued by the club and are continuously appended as the dog keeps winning championships or keeps changing owners.<ref name="rightpet"/>

The most common breeds registered by the Kennel Club of India are [[Great Dane]]s, [[Rottweiler]]s, [[Labrador Retriever]]s, [[Golden Retriever]]s, [[German Shepherd]]s, [[Dachshund]]s, [[Dalmatian (dog)|Dalmatian]]s, [[Dobermann]]s and [[Pug]]s.

==Dog shows==

Specialty and general dog shows are conducted by the Kennel Club of India all over the country. These shows are generally held from December to May. The shows follow procedures and guidelines complying with regulations of the [[Fédération Cynologique Internationale]].

Dogs are issued [[challenge certificates]] and [[championship certificates]]. Dogs are awarded points (depending on their breed and temperament) in every dog show and at the end of the year. The dog receiving the most show points receives the Dog of the Year award.

The other awards include:
[[Best in Class]], [[Best of Breed]], [[Best in Group]], [[Conformation show|Best in Show]]

The club also has awards for breeders of the year and also a special award for "Bred in India" dogs to encourage breeders to develop good bloodlines in India.

==Specialty dog shows==
In addition to general dog shows, the kennel Club of India organizes specialty dog shows meant for particular breeds only. This include dog shows for separate breeds. Many breeds in India have their own clubs that participate in these events.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thekci.org/showdetails.aspx?id=all |title=Show Calendar |work=The Kennel Club of India |accessdate=7 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091221030024/http://www.thekci.org/showdetails.aspx?id=all |archivedate=21 December 2009 }}</ref> These clubs include:

* German Shepherd Dog Club of India
* Great Dane Club of India
* Indian Sieger Show
* The Labrador Retriever Club Of India
* Tamil Nadu Rottweiler Association
* Great Dane Club Of India (South)

==The Indian Kennel Gazette==
In addition to the shows, the Kennel Club of India publishes a monthly magazine, the '''Indian Kennel Gazette''' for all its members. It is not for sale commercially.<ref name="rightpet">{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090109/jsp/entertainment/story_10363559.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090312143728/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090109/jsp/entertainment/story_10363559.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 12, 2009 |title=The Right Pet |author=Goutam Mukherjee |date=9 January 2009|publisher=The Telegraph – Calcutta |accessdate=9 January 2009}}</ref>

[[File:Karura of Kofukuji.jpg|thumb|A statue depicting a wingless Karura from [[Kōfuku-ji]], [[Nara, Nara|Nara]], 8th century.]]
[[File:観音と迦楼羅 Avalokitasvara and Garuda.jpg|thumb|An illustration from an 1866 Japanese book. Karura, who is an incarnation of [[Guanyin|Bodhisattva Kannon]] in this scene, gives a sermon to folks.]]

The {{nihongo|'''Karura'''|迦楼羅}} is a divine creature with a human torso and birdlike head<ref name=shincho>{{cite book|author=Shinchosha|script-title=ja:新潮世界美術事典|trans-title=Shincho Encyclopedia of World Art|year=1985|publisher=Shinchosha|isbn=4-10-730206-7}}</ref> in [[Japanese mythology]].

The name is a [[transliteration]]<ref name=shincho/> of [[garuda]],<ref name=shincho/> a race of enormously gigantic birds in [[Hinduism]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Hindu Gods and Goddesses in Japan |first=Saroj Kumar |last=Chaudhuri |page=151}}</ref> The Japanese Buddhist version is based upon Hindu Mythology. The same creature may go by the name of {{Nihongo3|lit. "gold-winged bird"|金翅鳥|konjichō|Skr. ''{{lang|sa|suparṇa}}''}}.<ref name=shincho/>

The karura is said to be enormous,<ref name=kojien>{{cite book|last=Shinmura|first=Izuru|script-title=ja:広辞苑|trans-title=Kōjien|year=1976|publisher=Iwanami}}. Japanese dictionary, 2nd revised edition</ref> fire-breathing,<ref name=kojien/> and to feed on dragons/serpents,<ref name=kojien/> just as Garuda is the bane of [[Nāga]]s. Only a dragon who possesses a [[Buddhist]] talisman, or one who has converted to the Buddhist teaching, can escape unharmed from the Karura.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} Shumisen or [[Mount Meru]] is said to be its habitat.<ref name=kojien/>

Karura is one of the [[proselytism|proselytized]] and converted creatures recruited to form a guardian unit called the {{Nihongo|''[[Eight Legions|Hachibushū]]''|八部衆||"Devas of the Eight Classes"}}.<ref name=kofukuji-cat>{{cite book|last=Murano|first=Takao|others=Tetsurô Kôno (trans.)|script-title=ja:興福寺国宝展|trans-title=Kōfukuji kokuhō ten |type=exhibit catalog|year=1997|publisher=Art Research Foundation |at=Item #3-2, p.vii (English caption); 32-33 (photo); p.189 (text by Kaneko Tomoaki({{lang|ja|金子智明}})}}</ref><ref>The multilexic {{Harvnb|Shinchosha|1985}} dictionary does not give an English or any other language equivalent for this entry.</ref>

One famous example is the Karura statue at [[Kōfuku-ji]], [[Nara, Nara|Nara]], amongst the eight deva statues presented at the [[Buddhābhiṣeka]] dated to the year [[Tenpyō]] 6 or 734, pictured top right).<ref name=kofukuji-cat/> This karura is depicted as wearing [[Tang dynasty|Tang Chinese]]-style armor, and thus is seen wingless.

But more conventionally, the Karura is depicted as a winged being with human torso and avian head, as in the Vajra Hall ({{Nihongo|''Kongō buin''|金剛部院}}) section of the [[Womb Realm]] mandala ({{Nihongo|''Taizōkai mandara''|胎蔵界曼荼羅}}) and other [[iconographic]] books and scrolls.<ref name=shincho/>

==In fine art==
[[File:Karura (gigaku mask).jpg|thumb|left|Karura gikau mask (source: ''Shuko Jisshu'', Todaiji Hachimangu (1895))]]

The karura (garuda) mask is one of the stock character masks worn by performers of the ancient Japanese courtly dance art of [[gigaku]].<ref name=shincho/><ref name=kojien/>

The flaming nimbus or halo is known by the name "karura flame"<ref name=shincho/> and typically seen adorning behind the statue of the {{Nihongo|[[Fudō-Myō|Fudō-myōō]]|不動明王}}).

The karura is also said to be the prototype of the depictions of the ''[[tengu]]''<ref name=kojien/> or ''[[karasutengu]]''.<ref name=shincho/>

==In popular culture==
The ''[[Pokémon]]'' evolutionary line of [[Magby]], [[List of generation I Pokémon#Magmar|Magmar]], and [[Magmortar]] may have been based on the karura.

In the anime ''[[Blue Exorcist]]'' Karura is a powerful fire demon that can be seen in service of the Myōō Dharani. <ref>{{Cite book |last=Kazue |first=Kato |title=Blue Exorcist Vol. 7 |publisher=VIZ Media LLC |year=2012 |isbn=978-1421542621 |language=Japanese}}</ref>

The '''Royal Calcutta Turf Club''' ('''RCTC''') is a [[horse racing]] organisation which was founded in 1847 in Calcutta, [[British India]] (now [[Kolkata]]). Horse events and sports were initially organised for the British cavalry at Akra before they were moved to the [[Maidan (Kolkata)|Maidan]]. The RCTC became the foremost horse-racing organization in India during the [[British Raj]]. At one time it was the governing body for nearly all racecourses in the subcontinent, defining and applying the rules governing the sport. During its heyday, RCTC-organised races were among the most important social events of the bigwigs' calendar and were opened by the [[Viceroy of India]]. Still a private club, the RCTC operates [[Kolkata Race Course]] in the Maidan.

[[File:Calcutta Turf Club 3.jpg|thumb|The CTC Grand Stand in 2015]]
The club also held polo matches during the late 19th century, and hosted English-style gambling; the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organised by the RCTC, was the world's largest [[sweepstake]] in the 1930s. After the closure of the Tollygunge racecourse, a new racecourse was opened by the club in Barrackpore during the 1920s; it was unsuccessful due to poor attendance. Grandstands were built at the Maidan racecourse; Kolkata Race Course had three in 2020, including a three-tier main grandstand.

==Origins==
[[File:Richard Colley Wellesley.jpg|thumb|alt=Woodcut portrait of Richard Wellesley, with his signature|Governor Richard Wellesley disapproved of organised racing, and banned it in 1798.]]
Calcutta was the first base of British power in India. With its cavalry-based army, sports such as hunting, polo and racing were popular.{{sfn|India: Asian Racing Federation}} Organised horse races were first held in India on 16 January 1769 at Akra (near Calcutta), where they continued for the next 40 years.{{sfn|Bhattacherje|2009|p=98}} Races were also organised in [[Garden Reach]] and [[Barasat]].<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Mukherjee Pandey|first1=Jhimli|last2=Dec 31|date=31 Dec 2010|title=What a long race for RCTC|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/what-a-long-race-for-rctc/articleshow/7193603.cms|access-date=2021-04-28|website=The Times of India|language=en|archive-date=28 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428232159/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/what-a-long-race-for-rctc/articleshow/7193603.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> The first races were on a rough, temporary course wide enough for only four horses. Reformist governor [[Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley|Lord Wellesley]] disapproved of organised racing and banned horse racing in 1798; but five years later, the Bengal Jockey Club was formed to resume racing at Akra. The races moved to the Calcutta Maidan in 1809, where they have remained. The club laid out a new course in the southwest part of the Maidan in 1812, at approximately present racecourse location.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}} A grandstand was built in 1820, which was later extensively modified.{{sfn|Dutta|2008|p=69}}

Races, organised in the relative coolness of the morning (just after sunrise), usually consisted of five {{convert|2.5|mi|adj=on}} [[Racing|heats]]. If a race was not decided in the morning, the heats resumed after sunset. The British press regularly published Calcutta race results. In 1825, the Calcutta Welter (India's main horse-racing event) was moved to the new course. The Calcutta Derby Stakes, in which [[Maiden race|maiden]] [[Arabian horse|Arabians]] ran {{convert|2.5|mi|adj=on}} for valuable prizes, began in 1842.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}}

==Foundation and growth==

[[File:Old Royal Calcutta Race Stands.jpg|thumb|Calcutta Turf Club grandstand before 1905]]
The Calcutta Turf Club was founded on 20 February 1847 to regulate all aspects of horse racing in the city.{{sfn|Bhattacherje|2009|p=129}} Club members were elected by [[ballot]]. It was governed by a five-person committee, and five stewards supervised the races. In 1856, the Calcutta Derby was replaced by the Viceroy's Cup.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}} For this race, spectators were admitted by invitation only.{{sfn|Dutta|2008|pp=69–70}} Lord Ulrich Browne entered the Calcutta racing scene (which he would dominate) in 1860. Browne redrafted the racing rules and revised the weight-for-age scale. In 1879, the first Monsoon Meeting was organised on a specially-constructed course inside the main course. Public interest in racing increased when races were conducted in the afternoon, and new stands were built in 1880.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}}

The club came to have the same authority as the [[Jockey Club]] in England (the arbiter on horse racing in that country),{{sfn|Parliament|1883|p=408}} and a notice of a January 1863 race meeting in [[Muzaffarpur]] said that it would be conducted under Calcutta Turf Club rules.{{sfn|Higginbotham|1862|p=xiv}} In 1883 the British [[House of Lords]] discussed an accusation against a Surgeon-Major Thornburn by the [[Lucknow Race Course]] of gambling irregularities which was upheld by the Calcutta Turf Club. A court of inquiry at [[Lucknow]] looked into the accusation and the Judge Advocate General in India analysed and passed it on to the Commander-in-Chief of India confirmed the ruling by the both clubs' stewards.{{sfn|Parliament|1883|p=408}} Thorburn, who was refused a court-martial, was forced to return to England and retire.{{sfn|Parliament|1883|p=406}} The Calcutta Turf Club was the governing body by 1899 of all of British India and Burma's 52 racecourses except for Bombay (now [[Mumbai]]), Poona (now [[Pune]]), [[Karachi]] and Khelapur (now [[Kolhapur]]), which were under the jurisdiction of Bombay's [[Royal Western India Turf Club|Western India Turf Club]].{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}}

[[File:Royal Calcutta Turf Club Race Stands - Viceroy's Cup Day.png|thumb|alt=Grandstands full of people|Viceroy's Cup Day, c. 1910]]
During the 1880s the Calcutta Turf Club conducted [[polo]] matches which were open to Indians and Europeans.{{sfn|Laffaye|2009|p=16}}{{sfn|Abram et al.|2013|p=852}} From 1886 to 1897, Sir William McPherson headed the club. McPherson upgraded the racing rules, and reached an agreement with the Bombay Turf Club that any racecourse in India which held races under the rules was subject to the authority of Calcutta or Bombay. He introduced other changes: [[jockey]]s could not bet, and professional [[Handicapping#Horse racing|handicappers]] were introduced.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}} [[Steeplechase (horse racing)|Steeplechasing]] was brought under the club's jurisdiction in 1888. The first Grand National in India was run in 1895 at the course at [[Tollygunge]], and steeplechasing was one of the racing season's main events.{{sfn|Steeple Chasing : End of an Era}}

[[Lord William Beresford]], a member of the viceroy's staff, won the Viceroy's Cup in 1881 with his black gelding Camballo and won the cup three more times with Myall King.{{sfn|India: Asian Racing Federation}} [[Apcar Alexander Apcar]], a wealthy merchant whose family owned the [[Apcar Line]] of [[steamship]]s, owned some best racehorses and was president of the Calcutta Turf Club.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Spare a thought for Mayfowl, a hero of his times|url=http://www.racingpulse.in/code/stpage.aspx?pgid=252|access-date=2021-04-23|website=www.racingpulse.in|archive-date=23 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210423193947/http://www.racingpulse.in/code/stpage.aspx?pgid=252|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=অযান্ত্রিক|date=2015-07-07|title=Calcutta Armenians, Calcutta, c1660|url=https://puronokolkata.com/2015/07/07/calcutta-armenians-calcutta-c1660/|access-date=2021-04-21|website=puronokolkata|language=en|archive-date=21 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421184653/https://puronokolkata.com/2015/07/07/calcutta-armenians-calcutta-c1660/|url-status=live}}</ref> Apcar was a rival of Beresford, who believed in the merits of English [[Thoroughbred]]s. His Great Scott won the Viceroy's Cup three times, as did his horse Mayfowl.{{sfn|Late Sir A. A. Apcar: ''Straits Times''|p=}}

At the opening of the Christmas race week (an important social event), the viceroy of India and his wife would drive in state past the grandstand.{{sfn|Morris|2005|p=152}} The Prince of Wales, the future King [[George V]], attended the races in 1905. The [[Bardhaman Raj|Maharaja of Burdwan]], [[Bijay Chand Mahtab]], was the first Indian to be elected a full member of the club in 1908.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}}{{sfn|P. H. R. Surita, The Parades gone by : 150 years of Royal Calcutta Turf Club|p=}}

The new grandstand, built between 1905 and 1907, was open to the public along with stand membership. First timing device was also introduced in 1907. The monsoon track, designed to drain quickly, was added in 1910. The club added "Royal" to its name in 1912, after King George V attended the races for the second time.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}} During the 20th century, the Calcutta Turf Club organised races on 28 days per year.{{sfn|Huggins|2003|p=20}} At one time, the club had jurisdiction over 73 racecourses across the [[Indian subcontinent]].{{sfn|P. H. R. Surita, The Parades gone by : 150 years of Royal Calcutta Turf Club|p=}}

==Later years==
[[File:Grandstand - Royal Calcutta Turf Club - Barrackpore Cantonment - North 24 Parganas 2012-05-27 01202.jpg|thumb|alt=Large, disused grandstand with the letters RCTC on the roof|Grandstand of the former Barrackpore racecourse, north of Kolkata]]

In 1915, the Tollygunge course closed and its steeplechases were moved to the Maidan course.{{sfn|Steeple Chasing : End of an Era}} During the early 1920s, the RCTC became concerned about the lease of the Maidan course and looked for an alternative. Expanding the Tollygunge course was an obvious choice, but the price of adjacent land increased steeply when the plan became known. A site on the north in [[Barrackpore]], which included a racecourse, became available "at a very reasonable price" in 1922.{{sfn|Racing Days at Barrackpore}} The RCTC decided to build a modern facility with new stands, stables and two courses: a round course and a {{convert|6|furlong|m|adj=on}} straightaway. The large grandstand would be partitioned at first between members and the public; if the course was successful, a members-only grandstand would be built. The railway agreed to provide a spur line for [[Barrackpore Racecourse railway station]] to the course for horses and spectators, and the facility was inaugurated on 27 January 1928.{{sfn|Racing Days at Barrackpore}}

Grand Nationals continued at the Maidan course until 1929, when the race was moved to [[Lahore]].{{sfn|Steeple Chasing : End of an Era}} Before [[World War II]], the club looked to Australia rather than England for guidance. The Australian Harvey Roulston was hired as an administrator; the Australian [[Starting gate#History|Gray gate]] was used instead of the English starting flag; Australian jockeys (such as [[Edgar Britt]]) moved to Calcutta to ride for the [[Baroda State]] maharaja [[Sayajirao Gaekwad III]], and Australian horses were imported.{{sfn|Cassidy|2013|p=195}} Methods of detecting drugs, such as [[benzedrine]], from urine or blood samples became available during the 1930s. The club rules were updated to require drug tests years before they were introduced by the Jockey Club.{{sfn|Lambie|2010|p=430}}

Although the Barrackpore course was generally technically superior to the Maidan course, it did not attract the public and consistently lost money. Races were held until 1941, when it was requisitioned by the army. After the war, the course was rehabilitated and races were run in 1947 and 1948. It was sold to the government in 1954 in an arrangement which included renewing the lease on the Maidan course.{{sfn|Racing Days at Barrackpore}}

Sir [[Uday Chand Mahtab]] became a steward in 1947. He was elected senior steward in 1955, a position he served for 27 years.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}} During the early 1950s, the [[South India Turf Club]] (SITC) split off from the RCTC to oversee racing in [[Bangalore]], Madras ([[Chennai]]), [[Hyderabad]], [[Mysore]] and [[Ooty]]. The SITC divided into separate authorities based in Madras, Bangalore and Hyderabad. During the 1970s, these clubs and the original Calcutta and Bombay clubs became a loose association of Indian turf authorities.{{sfn|India: Asian Racing Federation}}

In February 1961, Queen [[Elizabeth II]] and [[Prince Philip]] visited the course and presented the winning trophy.{{sfn|The Queen’s Day at RCTC}} The races were an important social event during the decade, and women dressed glamorously.{{sfn|Dutta|2008|p=70}} In 1971, [[Geoffrey Moorhouse]] ranked the RCTC on a par with the [[Bengal Club]], the [[Tollygunge Club]] and the [[Calcutta Club]].{{sfn|Moorhouse|2012|p=140}}

==Gambling==
[[File:Calcutta Derby Sweepstake Ticket 1934.jpg|thumb|alt=Certificate-like sweepstake ticket|1934 10-rupee Calcutta Derby Sweepstake ticket]]
The Calcutta Turf Club imported the English practice of gambling on races, and named their Derby and St Leger after the English races. The club was organized, in 1847, partly to regulate such gambling. A mildly-disapproving 1866 account called the betting practices "lotteries".{{sfn|Flavin|2003|pp=52–53}} In early Indian horse racing, betting combined a lottery and an auction. One hundred ten-rupee tickets were typically sold, and the money placed in a pot. A ticket was drawn for each horse in the race. These tickets were auctioned, with the ticket holder getting half the winning bid and the other half going into the pot; after the race, the pot was divided among those with tickets for the winning horses.{{sfn|Rise and Fall of the Calcutta Sweep}}{{efn|A [[Calcutta auction]] is an American term said to be named after the RCTC auctions.{{sfn|Bohn|2007|p=122}} It is a form of betting in which the competitors in a tournament are auctioned off to bidders in a pool. The "owners" of the winning team split their portion of the pool with the players. Golf Calcuttas were often rigged, with golfers faking handicaps or taking bribes to lose.{{sfn|LeCompte|2005}} After a fake-handicap scandal in a Calcutta at [[Deepdale Golf Club]], the [[United States Golf Association]] outlawed the practice in 1955.{{sfn|Tomasi|2009|p=4B}} }} [[Parimutuel betting]] began in 1872.{{sfn|Royal Calcutta Turf Club: indiarace.com}}

The Calcutta Turf Club Derby draw was started as a private [[sweepstake]] in 1887 by Lord William Beresford.{{sfn|Lambie|2010|p=380}} Shortly after [[World War I]], the sweepstakes awarded prizes of £75,000, £35,000 and £15,000 for the top three horses in the club's Derby.{{sfn|Huggins|2003|p=90}} The Calcutta Derby Sweepstake was well known worldwide, with the pool reaching almost £1 million in 1929 and 1930.{{sfn|Rise and Fall of the Calcutta Sweep}} Forty percent of the pool went to the first-prize winner, twenty percent to the second and ten percent to the third. Tickets for unplaced horses also received a share, and the club kept 10 percent.{{sfn|Rise and Fall of the Calcutta Sweep}}{{efn|In 1929, London's Stock Exchange Derby Sweepstake had a fund of £5 million and paid two first prizes of £625,000 each. In 1930, the sweepstake was scaled back to 100,000 tickets at £1 each. The ''[[The Sun (New York City)|New York Sun]]'' reported that the Calcutta Derby Sweepstake was the world's largest, with a total fund normally exceeding £4 million.{{sfn|Stock Exchange Sweepstake Cut 1930}} (The ''Sun'' may have confused pounds with rupees, which were worth less than 10 percent of a pound.) The winning ticket in 1929 paid Rs{{space}}1,600,000, or 40 percent of a Rs{{space}}4 million pool.{{sfn|Calcutta Derby Sweep November 1929}} In 1929, the second prize (£62,000) was won by a South African.{{sfn|Calcutta Derby Sweep: Recorder 1929}}
The winning ticket in 1930 was RR-2859. Seven working men in [[Barnstaple]], England had joined to buy the ticket and sold a half-share before the race; the men won £62,486.{{sfn|Calcutta Sweep Winners July 1930}} }} The sweepstake was open only to members of the RCTC, or to friends who could ask members to place a wager. Although methods were developed to make it easier for gamblers in other countries to place bets, the Calcutta Derby Sweepstake could not compete with the [[Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake]] (introduced in the 1930s) even though the expected payout was higher.{{sfn|Rise and Fall of the Calcutta Sweep}}

=={{anchor|Today}}Present day==
[[File:Ketan donate2.jpg|thumb|alt=Large White building|The Victoria Memorial, separated from the racecourse by Hospital Road]]
The club was housed in the former home of the [[Apcar family]]: a two-story, well-maintained [[Palladian architecture|Palladian]] building dating to the early 19th century. The building has a portico on the north side, and a veranda on the south. The ground-level floors are marble, and the doors are made of [[teak]]. The two-story vestibule has a carved wooden staircase leading to the upper floor, where the family had their private rooms.{{sfn|Morris|2005|p=49}} The building was at 11 Russell Street;{{sfn|Morris|2005|p=56}} with comfortable leather sofas and armchairs, it was described as an oasis of calm.{{sfn|Karan|2004|p=359}}

The [[Kolkata Race Course|present racecourse]] has three grandstands. The main pavilion has three tiers, with elaborate turrets and wrought-iron railings. Across the grounds from the grandstand (east of the racecourse) is the [[Victoria Memorial, Kolkata|Victoria Memorial]], a marble monument to [[Queen Victoria]]. The grandstands, except for the Members Stand, are now open to the public;{{sfn|Dutta|2008|p=69}} Admission to the races is by ticket. Races are primarily held on Saturdays, and sometimes on weekdays. The Monsoon Meet (from July to October) is followed by the Cold Weather Meet, from November to April.{{sfn|Mitra|2011|p=67}} The club continues to hold polo matches on the infield of the racecourse.{{sfn|Abram et al.|2013|p=852}}

== Pollution case ==
In March 2017, environmental activist [[Subhas Datta]] submitted an application to the [[National Green Tribunal Act|National Green Tribunal]] (NGT) concerning untreated manure released from the club's stables. The application also noted that liquid waste was stressing Kolkata's sewer system and flowing into [[Adi Ganga]], polluting the [[Hooghly River]].{{sfn|Basu|2018}} In October of that year, the NGT asked [[Kolkata Municipal Corporation]] (KMC) to inspect the area; the report said that an open drainage network in the club had outlets to the city's sewer network and Adi Ganga. To minimise pollution and health risks to the people living around the racecourse, the stables in [[Hastings, Kolkata|Hastings]] and the veterinary hospital, the tribunal (following reports by KMC and the West Bengal Pollution Control Board{{sfn|''The Times of India'' 29 January 2019}} ) directed the club to develop a solid-waste management plan and install a sewage treatment plant in three months; failure to do so would cost the club {{INRConvert|50|k|lk=on|year=2017}} per day.{{sfn|''The Times of India'' 29 January 2019}} KMC also suggested diverting the outlets to its effluent-treatment plants.{{sfn|''The Times of India'' 14 November 2017}} The club was asked to post a {{INRConvert|50|l|lk=on|year=2017}} bond with the state pollution-control board. On 28 January 2019, the NGT increased the bond by {{INRConvert|25|l|year=2018}}; the club was cited as a wilful defaulter, since it missed the deadline to complete the project.{{sfn|''The Times of India'' 29 January 2019}} A month later, the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] allowed the RCTC to return to the NGT to review the forfeited bond. The tribunal reduced the original amount by 90 percent, and asked the state pollution-control board to refund the remaining {{INRConvert|45|l|year=2019}}; the bond increase was also waived.{{sfn|''The Times of India'' 26 July 2019}}{{sfn|EI Samay|2019}}

===Movements===
In the wake of the movements against the partition of Bengal in 1905, Bandhab Samitis or Mahamaya Samitis were formed at Kalna, Manteswar and Purbasthali for physical training and revolutionary activities.<ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, p 429</ref> In 1926–27, Damodar canal was developed for irrigation purposes. However, when canal tax was imposed opposition developed in [[Memari]], Manteswar, [[Bhatar]], the Ausgram community blocks and other irrigated areas.<ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, p 472</ref> In 1938–40 the Congress organisation was strengthened by Gopen Kundu, Narayan Choudhury and Abdur Rahman.<ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, p 456</ref> In 1943, when [[Damodar River]] flooded the entire area, relief was organised in the Manteswar area by the Communist Party.<ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, pp 478–479</ref>

The '''Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hall''' is a building on Race Course Lane in [[Little India, Singapore]]. Officially opened in 1953 in honour of [[Mahatma Gandhi]], it housed the [[Singapore Indian Development Association]] in the 1990s. Beginning in 2008, it was occupied by [[The Hindi Society]].

==History==
During a mourning session for Mahatma Gandhi held on 31 January 1948, a day after his [[Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi|assassination]], legislative councilor [[Rajabali Jumabhoy]] announced that a fund would be established by the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce in order to raise $100,000 for the construction of a statue of Gandhi in Singapore. In February, [[Mary Lobo]] of the Singapore Regional Indian Congress' women's section proposed the construction of a Gandhi Memorial Institute, which would include an assembly hall, a school, a women's centre and a library. This proposal was supported by both the Singapore Regional Indian Congress's women's section and the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce. The Gandhiji Memorial Fund Committee was then established in order to raise funds for the construction of the hall. Jumabhoy served as the committee's president, while [[G. Maganlal|Gangaram Maganlal]] and [[Jesudoss Muthaiya Dorai Raj]] served as the committee's treasurer and secretary respectively.<ref name = "InfoPedia">{{cite web |url= https://www.nlb.gov.sg/main/article-detail?cmsuuid=54bde343-b011-4428-aadf-919c18cc563e|title= Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hall|last1= Hwang Soo Tan|first1= Joanna|last2= Zakaria|first2= Faizah|date= |website= Singapore Infopedia|publisher= [[National Library Board]]|access-date= 15 May 2024|quote=}}</ref> In September 1949, Padma Ramakrishnan, the wife of Chief Inspector K.

In June 1950, the Gandhi Memorial Committee purchased {{cvt|7,325|sqft|sqm|order=flip}} of land on Race Course Lane for $32,000 with the aim of constructing two buildings. The first was to have a free library on the first floor and a stage and two office rooms on the second, while the second building would be rented out, with the income generated being donated to local charities.<ref name = "ST"/> The [[Prime Minister of India]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] laid the memorial's foundation stone while visiting Singapore in the same month. He also made several suggestions for alterations of the memorial's original plans, some of which were incorporated into the memorial's final plans. In November, Jumabhoy announced that one two-storey building would be built, with the first floor being occupied by a library hall and the secretary's office, along with the foundation stone, and the second floor being occupied by an assembly hall and a meeting room.<ref>{{cite news |last= |first= |date= 14 November 1950|title= Tenders Soon For Gandhi Memorial|url= https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19501114-1.2.120|work= [[The Straits Times]]|location= Singapore|access-date= 15 May 2024}}</ref> A life-sized bronze bust of Gandhi mounted on a marble pillar was placed in the foyers.<ref name = "ST1">{{cite news |last= |first= |date= 26 April 1953|title= 'Cross act of war says Mr. Mac Donald|url= https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19530426.2.23|work= [[The Straits Times]]|location= Singapore|access-date= 15 May 2024}}</ref> Construction was completed in July 1952 and the memorial was furnished by the end of September.<ref name = "SS">{{cite news |last= |first= |date= 31 July 1925|title= GANDHI HALL COMPLETED|url= https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singstandard19520731-1.2.73|work= [[Singapore Tiger Standard|Singapore Standard]]|location= Singapore|access-date= 15 May 2024}}</ref> On 25 April 1953, the memorial was officially opened by [[Malcolm MacDonald]], then the Commissioner-General for Southeast Asia.<ref name = "ST1"/> The building, which was made of brick and built in the modern style with [[Art Deco]] influences, features a wall relief of Gandhi.<ref name = "InfoPedia"/> The building's architect was [[Ng Keng Siang]].<ref name = "SS"/> Beginning in 1954, an annual event would be held on every 2 October to commemorate the anniversary of Gandhi's birthday.<ref name = "InfoPedia"/> The memorial also served as a centre for religious ceremonies and meetings and Indian weddings.<ref>{{cite news |last= |first= |date= 17 July 1983|title= Mahatma's watch over Little India|url= https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19830717-1.2.100.10.5.2|work= [[The Straits Times]]|location= Singapore|access-date= 15 May 2024}}</ref>
