Das started his career by robbing train wagons. He later performed critical murders, drug trafficking and assets theft from closed factories. He recruited many skilled henchmen into his gang. He fled Konnagar after being convicted of multiple murders and crimes. While out, Das had informers present in Konnagar and Rishra who gave him police info secretly. He became a millionaire in the meantime from robberies and stealing and from his real estate business. For many years, he controlled the markets and lands of south Hooghly while remaining out of sight. Other than Hooghly, he operated secondarily in [[Howrah]],{{Efn|Includes [[Howrah railway station]] and [[Howrah district|the district]].}} Kolkata and [[North 24 Parganas]] district.

He was detained a total of three times, once in 2008 and 2011, getting out using bail all three times.

== Career ==

=== Early life ===
'Hubba' Shyamal Das was born in [[Konnagar|Konnagar city]] of Hooghly district in a rented house in 1966.{{Efn|He was about 45 at the time of his death in 2011.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=দেবনাথ |first=শীর্ষেন্দু |date=January 17, 2024 |title=শ্যামল দাস কী ভাবে হয়ে উঠেছিলেন হুগলির ‘ত্রাস’ হুব্বা? রিয়েল কাহিনি জানুন |url=https://eisamay.com/west-bengal-news/hooghly-news/hooghly-don-shyamal-das-alias-hubba-shyamal-complete-profile/106931089.cms |access-date=December 12, 2025 |website=Eisamay Online |language=bn}}</ref>}} His father worked in a cotton factory. Das only wanted to study till third grade and rarely went to school after that. He would spend his time sitting beside railway lines and watching freight trains pass. He would help his mother weave cloth as she worked as a textile weaver. He dropped out of school at fifth grade. When he was 14, he smoked bidi and bought drugs. He told his father that he would rather rob wagons of freight trains rather than do labor work and started robbing wagons from 16. He first robbed machines from a nearby [[Imperial Chemical Industries]] factory in the night.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sarkar |first=Supratim |url=https://www.banglabook.org/abar-goyendapith/ |title=Abar Goyendapith |publisher=Ananda Publishers |year=2020 |isbn=978-93-89876-62-8 |location=45, Beniatola Lane, Kolkata |page=4 |language=bn}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=August 1, 2021 |title=Best Crime Story- হুব্বা-বেনারসি বাপি- নেপু- এমনই সব নামে কাঁপত হুগলি, অপরাধ জগতের এক রোমহর্ষক কাহিনি |url=https://bangla.asianetnews.com/west-bengal/best-crime-story-of-notorious-criminal-hubba-shyamal-in-hoogly-qx5fqj/articleshow-3yec88 |access-date=December 14, 2025 |website=Asianet News Bangla |language=bn |agency=Asianet News Bangla}}</ref>

=== 1984''–''Mid 1990s ===

==== First murder and forming of the gang ====
In 1984, an employee of the factory was returning with his bicycle, carrying a bag of money. Das asked him to hand all of the money over. When he refused, Das stabbed him with a knife and ran away with the money. The locals reported to the local police station.<ref name=":4" /> Das temporarily fled the area being pressured and suspected. Das had to leave the neighborhood for a long time after the police raided his house in the mid-80s. He sent a letter to an eighth grade girl, Tapsi, he had a relationship with, who lived natively in Konnagar. He took her away from her home at night after one or two years and they married in the local temple ([[Hindu temple|mandir]]).{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=5}}

By the 1990s, Das's main motive was to rob assets from closed industrial factories in the area, forming his own gang for making things easier. Ramesh Mahato used to work as a paid writer. He met Das at a gambling site, formed friendship and he became the second most important person in the gang after Das. The third most important was Benarasi Bapi, originally from [[Varanasi]], who Das met at a criminal hideout in Liluah and was immediately recruited into the gang. Another criminal was Nepu Giri, a criminal from the start, he became a hired professional killer for Das, he followed Das's killing orders without any hesitation.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=6}}<ref name=":4" />

==== Bindal Paper Mill ====
Das made a choice that he would return to his authentic house in Konnagar, in the mid-90s with his now-large gang. He had planned to rob a recently closed Bindal Paper Mill, valuing well over one lakh rupees. He took a different method of stealing than how he normally would, letting other criminals under surveillance from his gang members steal the goods and bring them to Shyamal Das. He marked that anyone could rob material anytime from the factory, but it must go to Das.<ref name=":4" /> Shyamal Das sold the stolen (smuggled) goods to the market at half the then market-price. A market seller had wanted to rise the price from {{Indian rupee|150}} (half of then market-price) to {{Indian rupee|200}}. Das shot him in the chest twice with a revolver stating he was no one to control the market. He was listed 'missing' by police.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=7–8}}

=== Mid 1990s–2003: Control over Konnagar and Rishra ===

==== Shyamal–Bagha conflict (war) ====
Das sold thousands of tons of illegal goods from factories, making him a millionaire. His next target was to make him the 'don' of Hooghly and Howrah. Das was opposed by a former member of his gang, Bagha. In the late nineties (1997 to 1999), gang wars commenced between the gang of Bagha and the gang of Das. Both sides fought for the entire control of Konnagar, resulting in numerous killings and deaths of gang members of both sides.<ref>{{Cite news |last=আনন্দবাজার সংবাদদাতা |title=হুগলির তৃণমূল নেতা খুনে গ্রেফতার হুব্বা শ্যামলের প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বী বাঘা! ‘মূল চক্রী’ ভাই পাকড়াও হয়েছেন আগেই |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/west-bengal/howrah-hooghly/tmc-leader-pintu-chakraborty-murder-case-fourth-accused-bagha-arrested-from-bankura-by-police-dgtld/cid/1623098 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250907020455/https://www.anandabazar.com/west-bengal/howrah-hooghly/tmc-leader-pintu-chakraborty-murder-case-fourth-accused-bagha-arrested-from-bankura-by-police-dgtld/cid/1623098 |archive-date=September 7, 2025 |access-date=December 14, 2025 |language=bn}}</ref> Some of the murders would reach newspapers. Two members of Das were killed by Bagha's gang. Das entered the hideout and controlled territories of Bagha and killed four gang members and burnt down their houses. Bagha escaped. The police from then took multiple crucial measures like raids and car searches. Shyamal was nowhere to be found, and was one of the only ones in his gang to not be caught in the nineties, he ranked number one on police lists.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=8}}<ref name=":4" />

After his disappearance, even, for undercover officers, his related people were always ready to inform Das of the news and he would know about police in a small moment of time. The local vendors, sellers and businessmen began to keep surveillance on the police officers who patrolled the area (Konnagar-Rishra), using various codenames to refer to the ranks of the officers. Some cops alleged that Shyamal's members were present inside the police forces.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=9–10}}

==== Out of Konnagar and Rishra ====
Das was known as the 'Robin Hood' of Konnagar and Rishra, as he supposedly helped poor and needy people and gave money to people when needed, this was a hoax, Das actually spent no money. By keeping this rumor running, Das made a name of himself and had engaged more people to inform him when something went wrong. Das handed monthly salaries to people who provided him information. There were also many people who worked as informing him without any money given. Das used them to spread the rumors about his donations and helpfulness.<ref name=":4" /> While in exile, Das never told anyone where he would, how much money he spent gambling and whether he was sober or not. He never told anyone his exact plans, for telling time (when he went), he gave a range of time and not the exact, or would not go or go another time sometimes. A man informed the local SPDO of Das's plans. Das went to his house and killed him in front of his mother. He later dismembered his body and threw it in front of the Rishra rail crossing.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=10–11}}

By the time mobile phones were in circulation, Das used with critical measurements and caution. He had learned that police could find out the location of the user just by using their signal to connect to a mobile tower. Normally he kept 2 phones with himself and 4 others for his accomplices. He used each one for no more than 2 hours at a time. No one knew what phone he used, when it was last used and where he used it. He always kept in mind that maybe the police were listening to him and tracking him.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=12}}

==== In real estate business ====
Having everything well set, Das then entered the real estate business and worked also as a land promoter.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Staff Reporter |date=December 24, 2005 |title=Chopper choice of killer – Arrested gangster was known to hack his victims 20 times |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/chopper-choice-of-killer-arrested-gangster-was-known-to-hack-his-victims-20-times/cid/1654188 |access-date=December 12, 2025 |website=The Telegraph}}</ref> At that time, many buildings were being built in south Hooghly and vacant property was being sold fast. When both Das and Mahato decided about a plot of land, they thought of buying it, building an apartment on it, and selling it for a high price.<ref name=":4" /> In the first case, the landowner did not agree with the price Das had offered. Das pulled out a pistol and coerced him to give up the land. Das said that he could make huge profits from selling his apartment if it appeared in advertisements on newspapers. He subsequently started building on the land.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=14}}

When someone wanted to build an apartment in his area, {{Indian rupee|50}} to {{Indian rupee|70}} per square foot would had to be commissioned to Das.{{Efn|Das only had regulations for apartments/ flats, not residential houses.}} If someone didn't have the money to build an apartment, he would lend them money, with a three percent return per month, for one hundred months. The materials for building were supplied by associates of Das who specialized in the construction materials sector. He hired an engineer to measure land accurately, then providing funds and himself kept track of money. Once the money sources were properly set, Das bought luxury cars and rented many apartments in the capital Kolkata, temporarily, their location only known by his close people. In these flats, sometimes he would host parties with treats and alcohol. He started wearing high quality clothes, shoes, sunglasses, mainly White Kurtis and pajamas from the best cloth makers from Kolkata. He had two girls, one from his first wife Tapsi and one from his second wife Mitali. Das enrolled them in Abhijit English medium school in Kolkata.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=14–15}}

A disagreement happened between Das and Mahato. Das said having enough money and control, the emphasis should have been on the crime syndicate. He had enough influence and did not want to get tangled in situations unless absolutely necessary. Besides, the police already had numerous charges filed in his name. By creating a 'Robin Hood' image, next he wanted to enroll his name in the municipal candidates list. Mahato said that the syndicate can remain as-is, Das would be keeping an eye on the gang, and also the business. The theft from factories and coercion of people and gang actions would had to be decided frequently. Otherwise the control of the gang and its areas and the real estate would lose its power and slip out of control. He opposed to Das joining politics. The local and [[Kolkata Police]] in the meantime had gained the help of [[Criminal Investigation Department (India)|Crime Investigation Department of India]], forming a special branch to monitor and track Shyamal Das. Hubba Shyamal did not stop his custom of changing phones or its [[SIM card]]s.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=16}}

==== Hooghly industrial belt massacre ====
Das conducted his operation for many years on the Hooghly industrial belt. Sisir Chakraborty, a [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] leader, issued orders to him and his gang. Chakraborty and Das were primary enemies of Manas Row Chowdhury. Das set out to kill Roy Chowdhury and his gang. In the Hooghly industrial region, more than 50 gang members and criminals died in a gang war, with Das's gang believed to have slaughtered about 30 victims, bringing charges upon Das. Roy Chowdhury was assassinated in 2003.<ref name=":2" /> Shyamal Das, Benarasi Bapi and some other criminals killed him using a chopper in a market near Konnagar railway station.<ref name=":0" />

=== 2003–2005: Kolkata ===

==== Dispute with promoter and going to Kolkata ====
Das tended to avoid conflict and wars after the 2003 Hooghly industrial belt massacre. In December 2005, a promoter did not agree with Shyamal to give away his land. This promoter was connected to higher authorities. He refused to give up his land, even when Das forced him to, and kept it free from having any projects built on it. Das went to the site manager of that land and shot him, then threatened to kill all of the promoter's family. The CID recorded a one-and-a-half-minute recording on a cell phone where Das informed his associate he was thinking of exploding the promoter's house. The CID and local police organized a meeting. The SP Hooghly were informed to always keep notice. The SP Howrah's force was sent to discover and inquire about the promoter's plot of land in undercover. The local police were to keep track and try to uncover any of possible Das's calls at any given time.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=16–17}}

==== Hiding in Kolkata ====
On December 21, 2005, the Deputy inspector general of police (DIG) received a call from the branch that kept record of his calls.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=17}} In the call, the officer repeated from the tapped call that Das was planning to go to Baguiati the next day in the second half of the day (12 p.m. to 12 am). The call was of someone named Tanmoy from Guptipara. The SP from Hooghly found that there was no one named Tanmoy in Guptipara, informing the DIG. Sources asserted that the location was presumably somewhere between Keshtopur and Baguiati; In the house of a promoter in that area Das in the previous year passed by that house frequently. The sources identified the house. In the next dawn, the source accompanied by a police group would go to see the apartment in undercover, and the location of the nearest tower of Das's calls would be monitored by the dedicated branch. This was called ''<nowiki/>'Operation Shyamal'''.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=18}}<ref name=":4" />

Four police teams assembled in the dawn, one in Ultodanga, one in Keshtopur, one in Baguiati and one in the [[Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport|Netaji Subhas International Airport]] with two cars. About at 10:30 am, a call came from a promoter in Bali to one of his SIM cards. It was answered by one of his members. The tower was identified to be of Dunlop, Kolkata, and remained that until 2:30 pm. The changing areas indicated that phone was facing southwards. Another SIM of Das turned on, showed he was still in Dunlop.<ref name=":4" /> It was perceptible that Das was somewhere in Dunlop and the first SIM was of a member who was going south, or the opposite.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=19–20}}

By 3:15 pm, the second phone had relocated to Dakhineshwar. A call was picked up on it whose voice was not of Das. He called the first phone, which was being used by Hubba Shyamal in Madhyamgram. The two cars from the airport went to the location.<ref name=":4" /> By 4:15 pm, the phone was shown to have entered the airport sector. It went towards Rajarhat, where the DIG's car was going.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=20}}

==== First arrest and trial of Das ====
Das was heading towards [[Bidhannagar|Salt Lake (Bidhannagar)]]. The phone location remained at Bidhannagar for three hours. He hung up any calls without listening. Himadri pointed out that he might be watching a film in the city center. The two police cars stopped at the city center. The film he was watching, [[Kalyug (2005 film)|Kalyug]] would end around 7:30. The officers were in their desired places. The film having ended, the audience exited and the officers began identifying their faces. An officer shouted 'Shyamalda'. Das, in the crowd looked back, and stopped along with his companion Benarasi Bapi. The DIG and Himadri pointed pistols at the two. The DIG informed the SP of North 24 Paragans of Das's arrest. His arrest was on television and newspapers by the next day.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|pp=21–23}}<ref name=":4" />

The three were arrested by the CID in Salt Lake City Center-1. At the time Das had committed at least 26 murders and was charged by the CID for shooting a 24-year-old a few days ago. After this, police were sent to buildings affiliated with Das and his gang.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff Reporter |date=December 23, 2005 |title=Crime movie ends 21-year crime run |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/crime-movie-ends-21-year-crime-run/cid/1653820 |access-date=December 13, 2025 |website=The Telegraph}}</ref>

Before Das's was trialed in the [[Calcutta High Court]], the police gathered some witnesses for his murder charges to go against Das. When the trial began, the witnesses turned against the state and denied any statements previously made by them. Thereby joining Hubba Shyamal's side. Das was arrested, but his gang at-large still persisted, and would not have taken their allegations kindly. The witnesses refused to identify the suspect (Das) in the test identification parade. Das having gained a lot of money from his business, spent on famous private lawyers. He was granted bail after being imprisoned for a bit more than a year by the Court of Calcutta which he paid and used to free himself. He returned to Hooghly after bailing.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=24}}<ref name="Basu1" /><ref name=":4" />

=== 2005–2011: Return to Hooghly ===
When Das returned in Hooghly, he found the gang was under the leadership of Ramesh Mahato during his absence. Mahato had pulled a large number of members from Das's gang into his own crime syndicate group. Both the gangs were still working together. Mahato was no longer under the leadership of Das.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=25}} During 2007 to 2010, Mahato and Das frequently engaged in disagreements and arguments. Das did not actively trust Mahato after his own gang formed.{{Sfn|Sarkar|2020|p=25}}

==== Second arrest ====
Hubba Shyamal was again arrested on October 23, 2008, along with Laldeo Chowdhury near Makla [[Level crossing|railway crossing]] in [[Uttarpara|Uttarpara city]] of Hooghly. More than 20 charges were made against Das in different police stations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |date=October 23, 2008 |title=Gangster nabbed in Bengal |url=https://www.oneindia.com/2008/10/23/gangster-nabbed-in-bengal-1224768851.html |access-date=December 12, 2025 |website=oneindia.com |language=en}}</ref> He was again granted bail by the [[Calcutta High Court]] and released.<ref>{{Cite news |last=TNN |date=September 28, 2008 |title=Cops fear crime rise after Bulton steps out of jail |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/cops-fear-crime-rise-after-bulton-steps-out-of-jail/articleshow/3535621.cms |access-date=December 12, 2025 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

==== Nomination for municipal candidate and turning into politics ====
Das posted a nomination to become the councilor/leader in ward no. 2 of [[Rishra Municipality]]. For posting the nomination, he went to the [[Srirampore subdivision|Shrirampore]] administrative building with a [[motorcade]] of 50–60 cars backed up by a hundred motorcycles going along as a feat. Das repealed the nomination in 2011.<ref name=":1" /> The nomination was filed on April 29, 2009, from the [[Konnagar Municipality]]. Das arrived there with about his 150 supporters, wearing a white [[kurta]] and sunglasses.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 30, 2010 |title=Bitten by ally,Cong shy of head-on collision with Trinamool |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/bitten-by-ally-cong-shy-of-headon-collision-with-trinamool/ |access-date=December 12, 2025 |website=The Indian Express |language=en |agency=Express News Service}}</ref>

This time there were 52 charges against Das, with 26 of them being of murder.

The '''Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board''' (SMVDSB), commonly referred to as the '''Shrine Board''', is the statutory and autonomous body responsible for the management, administration, and governance of the Holy Shrine of [[Vaishno Devi|Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji]] and its endowments.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://maavaishnodevi.org/about |title=About Us |publisher=Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board |access-date=2026-03-20}}</ref><ref name="yatra">{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/wmsZ_yatra-a-guide-to-the-holy-pilgrimage-of-shri-mata-vaishno-devi-shri-mata-vaishno/mode/2up |title=Yatra: A Guide to the Holy Pilgrimage of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi}}</ref><ref name="act1988">The Jammu & Kashmir Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Act, 1988 (Act No. XVI of 1988)</ref> The Board's jurisdiction encompasses the lands and buildings attached to the Shrine, extending from the base camp in [[Katra, Jammu and Kashmir|Katra]] up to the Holy Cave and the adjoining hillocks.<ref name="yatra"/>

== History and formation ==
Before the Board's establishment, the Shrine's management and control rested with a private trust known as the Dharmarth Trust and a group of traditional local residents called Baridars.<ref name="yatra"/><ref>{{cite book |last=Pintchman |first=Tracy |year=2001 |title=Seeking Mahadevi: Constructing the Identities of the Hindu Great Goddess |publisher=State University of New York Press |isbn=978-0-7914-5007-9}}</ref> The Baridars collected offerings based on their turn (''bari''), but the pilgrimage was marred by a lack of facilities, mismanagement, and hardships for the devotees.<ref name="yatra"/>

In August 1986, the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, [[Jagmohan]], initiated the takeover of the Shrine's management, citing a desire to end "material and moral corruption" and regenerate the cultural wasteland.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Foster |first1=Georgana |last2=Stoddard |first2=Robert |year=2010 |title=Vaishno Devi, the Most Famous Goddess Shrine in the Siwāliks |journal=Geography Faculty Publications |publisher=University of Nebraska - Lincoln}}</ref> This action was formalized by the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislature as the Jammu & Kashmir Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Act, 1988, which retroactively came into force on August 30, 1986.<ref name="act1988"/> The Act extinguished all previous rights of the Baridars and vested the ownership of the "Shrine Fund" entirely in the newly formed Board.<ref name="act1988"/><ref name="yatra"/>

== Governance and composition ==
The SMVDSB is a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal.<ref name="act1988"/> The administration and governance of the Shrine and the Shrine Fund vest in a Board comprising a Chairman and no more than ten members.<ref name="act1988"/> The [[Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir]] (formerly the Governor) serves as the ''[[ex officio]]'' Chairman.<ref name="act1988"/> If the Lieutenant Governor is not a Hindu, they may nominate an eminent Hindu to act as Chairman.<ref name="act1988"/>

The Chairman nominates nine other members who have distinguished themselves in the service of Hindu religion or culture, administration, legal affairs, or financial matters, including two women who have excelled in social work or the advancement of women.<ref name="act1988"/> A Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ranking no less than a District Magistrate, is appointed alongside other officers to efficiently discharge the Board's functions.<ref name="act1988"/> All members, officers, and servants of the Board are deemed public servants.<ref name="act1988"/>

To further develop Katra and the surrounding region, the Board has approved several upcoming cultural and infrastructural projects. These include the establishment of an international "Shakti" museum, a sound-and-light show detailing the region's spiritual legacy, and an official documentary on the Shrine. {{Citation needed|date=April 2026}}Additionally, the Board has formed a dedicated committee to evaluate strategies for expanding pilgrimage capacity and further enhancing crowd management.<ref name="toi_katra">{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/travel/news/vaishno-devi-shrine-board-approves-first-of-its-kind-shakti-museum-sound-and-light-show-to-transform-katra/articleshow/128110007.cms |title=Vaishno Devi Shrine Board approves first-of-its-kind Shakti museum, sound and light show to transform Katra |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref> To accommodate increasing footfall, the Board is also expediting several capacity-building infrastructure projects scheduled for completion by 2025, including the New Vaishnavi Bhawan with family rooms, an all-weather queue complex at Darshani Deodi and Banganga, and a dedicated exit track for seamless crowd movement.<ref name="et_pilgrims_2024"/>

== Incidents and controversies ==
In August 2025, a severe landslide near Adhkuwari, triggered by heavy rainfall, resulted in the deaths of 35 pilgrims and injured 20 others, leading to a temporary suspension of the yatra. In the immediate aftermath, the Shrine Board took responsibility for repatriating the bodies of the deceased to their native places and provided medical treatment to the injured at the Board-run Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital.<ref name="et_landslide_relief">{{cite news |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/vaishno-devi-shrine-board-takes-responsibility-for-sending-bodies-of-landslide-victims-to-their-native-places/articleshow/123555993.cms |title=Vaishno Devi Shrine Board takes responsibility for sending bodies of landslide victims to their native places |work=[[The Economic Times]] |date=2025-08-28 |access-date=2026-03-23}}</ref> During the suspension, the Board cancelled all bookings and issued full refunds to devotees.<ref name="statesman_landslide_2025">{{cite news |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/india/vaishnodevi-shrine-board-cancels-bookings-with-full-refund-amid-yatra-suspension-1503479635.html |title=Vaishnodevi Shrine Board cancels bookings with full refund amid Yatra suspension |work=The Statesman |date=2025-08-31 |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref> Following the incident, the Board faced criticism for allegedly continuing the pilgrimage despite severe weather alerts. The SMVDSB formally refuted these allegations, stating that operations were conducted strictly in accordance with official weather forecasts and advisories.<ref name="statesman_landslide_2025"/> However, in October 2025, a local court in Katra directed the police to submit an Action Taken Report (ATR) regarding a complaint seeking the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against the Board's Chief Executive Officer and other officials. The petitioner alleged criminal negligence, claiming the administration ignored "Red Alert" weather warnings issued prior to the incident.<ref name="statesman_atr_2025">{{cite news |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/india/court-seeks-atr-on-plea-for-fir-against-vaishnodevi-shrine-board-officials-over-death-of-35-pilgrims-1503502686.html |title=Court seeks ATR on plea for FIR against Vaishnodevi Shrine Board officials over death of 35 pilgrims |work=The Statesman |date=2025-10-24 |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref>

In January 2026, the [[National Medical Commission]] (NMC) withdrew its approval for the MBBS course at the Board-run Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence (SMVDIME).{{Citation needed|date=April 2026}} The NMC's Medical Assessment and Rating Board cited gross deficiencies in infrastructure, patient clinical load, and a 39% shortage of teaching faculty.<ref name="statesman_nmc_2026">{{cite news |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/india/nmcs-revocation-of-permission-to-shri-mata-vaishno-devi-medical-institute-stirs-hornets-nest-in-jk-1503536848.html |title=NMC withdraws MBBS approval to Vaishnodevi Shrine Board-run medical college |work=The Statesman |date=2026-01-07 |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref> The withdrawal coincided with protests by local residents and Hindu organizations regarding the demographic composition of the maiden batch, wherein 46 of the 50 admitted students were Muslim. Protesters demanded admission reservations for Hindu candidates, arguing the {{INR}}600 crore institute was built using Shrine donations.<ref name="statesman_nmc_2026"/> Following the revocation, the admitted students were relocated to other government medical colleges in the union territory.<ref name="statesman_nmc_2026"/>

== Philanthropy and social initiatives ==
To further its social responsibilities, the Board constituted the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Charitable Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.<ref name="smvdsb_main"/> This society oversees several major philanthropic projects:

* '''Healthcare:''' The Board established the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Super Specialty Hospital (SMVDNSH) at Kakryal, a 300+ bed hospital built at a cost of over {{INR}}300 crores, which provides medical services and financial support for the poor, pilgrims, and local residents.<ref name="smvdsb_main"/> It also established the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi College of Nursing and the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence (SMVDIME).<ref name="smvdsb_main"/><ref name="statesman_nmc_2026"/>
* '''Education:''' The Board funded the establishment of [[Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University]] (SMVDU) to impart technical and higher education in the region.<ref name="kour_thesis_2017"/> In 2010, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Gurukul was set up in Katra to impart Vedic and Sanskrit knowledge alongside modern subjects, providing free education and boarding to students.<ref name="smvdsb_main"/><ref name="kour_thesis_2017"/> The Board also approved the establishment of a coaching center to provide free [[National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate)|NEET]] preparation courses for local youths.<ref name="toi_katra"/> Additionally, under its Social Support Initiative, the SMVDSB funds the repair of local educational infrastructure; by December 2025, it had renovated ten government schools in [[Reasi district|Reasi]] and [[Udhampur district|Udhampur]] districts that had been severely damaged by regional flash floods.<ref name="statesman_schools_2025">{{cite news |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/india/vaishnodevi-shrine-board-renovates-10-govt-schools-damaged-by-flash-floods-1503532517.html |title=Vaishnodevi Shrine Board renovates 10 Govt schools damaged by flash floods |work=The Statesman |date=2025-12-29 |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref>
* '''Sports:''' A multipurpose Sports Complex, built at a cost of more than {{INR}}10 crore, was inaugurated in Katra in 2016 to stimulate nationally recognized and Olympic sports.<ref name="smvdsb_main"/> The complex has produced internationally successful para-athletes, including para-archers Rakesh Kumar and Sheetal Devi, who won multiple medals at the 2023 Asian Para Games and secured quota places for the 2024 Paris Paralympics.<ref name="admin_report_2023"/>
* '''Local empowerment and rehabilitation:''' To boost the regional economy, the Board has implemented a policy to prioritize the procurement of Shrine offerings and supplies from local self-help groups (SHGs), women, and young entrepreneurs{{Citation needed|date=April 2026}}. It has also formulated a phased rehabilitation plan for track service providers, such as pony operators, in compliance with [[National Green Tribunal]] directives.<ref name="toi_katra"/>
* '''Culture and animal welfare:''' In 2011, the Board established the SMVD Spiritual Growth Centre to promote religious tourism, featuring an auditorium, exhibition hall, and meditation center.{{Citation needed|date=April 2026}} The Board also collaborates with the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to ensure the welfare of ponies and equines operating on the tracks, including routine disease control measures.<ref name="kour_thesis_2017"/>

== Economics and commemorations ==
Offerings and donations made by pilgrims are the mainstay of the Shrine Board's income, which is utilized for infrastructural creation and general upkeep.<ref name="yatra"/> While the Board largely self-funds its operations, it has occasionally collaborated with the State and Central Governments on specific public utility projects. For example, the Board and the State Government equally co-funded a {{INR}}6.83 crore water supply project, and the [[Ministry of New and Renewable Energy]] has provided targeted financial assistance for facilities under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission.<ref name="loksabha_2014">{{cite report |title=Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 4590: Facilities to Vaishno Devi Pilgrims |publisher=Government of India |date=2014-02-21}}</ref> In the Financial Year 2023-24, the Board reported a total income of {{INR}}683.04 crore, with the majority coming from offerings and donations ({{INR}}255.39 crore), alongside a total expenditure of {{INR}}494.23 crore.<ref name="admin_report_2023"/>

In March 2026, the Shrine Board renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with [[Jammu & Kashmir Bank|J&K Bank]], reinforcing the bank as its preferred partner for institutional banking and deposits. The agreement provides customized financial solutions for the Board, alongside enhanced welfare benefits for its employees, including specialized salary accounts, concessional loans, and group personal accidental insurance cover.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.greaterkashmir.com/business/jk-bank-strengthens-relationship-with-shri-mata-vaishno-devi-shrine-board/ |title=J&K Bank strengthens relationship with Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board |work=Greater Kashmir |date=2026-03-18 |access-date=2026-03-21}}</ref>

To mark the silver jubilee (25 years) of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board's establishment, the [[Reserve Bank of India]] issued commemorative {{INR}}5 coins in 2013.<ref name="yatra"/> Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]] released these coins, praising the Board's developmental works and its support for weaker sections of society in the surrounding villages.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/rbi-to-issue-rs-5-coins-on-vaishno-devi-shrine-boards-25-years/articleshow/20175229.cms |title=RBI to issue Rs 5 coins on Vaishno Devi Shrine Board's 25 years |work=[[The Economic Times]] |date=2013-05-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/vaishno-devi-shrine-board-s-silver-jubilee-pm-releases-coins/story-eoaQd2DpiEB23YiNFncaUL.html |title=Vaishno Devi shrine board's silver jubilee: PM releases coins |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=2013-05-23}}</ref> The issuance of these coins sparked a legal debate when public interest litigations (PILs) were filed in the [[Delhi High Court]] demanding their withdrawal.

The Board has also been consistently recognized by the [[Ministry of Jal Shakti]] for its water conservation and management efforts.

His highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas are noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized versions of German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]], [[Friedrich Nietzsche]], and [[Arthur Schopenhauer]].<ref>Jensen, Morten Høi (2025), pp. 19, 40, 52.</ref>

Mann was a member of the [[Hanseaten (class)|hanseatic]] [[Mann family]] and portrayed his family and class in his first novel, ''[[Buddenbrooks]]'' (1901). Late major novels include ''[[The Magic Mountain]]'' (1924), the tetralogy ''[[Joseph and His Brothers]]'' (1933–1943), and ''[[Doctor Faustus (novel)|Doctor Faustus]]'' (1947); he also wrote short stories and [[novella]]s, including ''[[Death in Venice]]'' (1912).

His older brother was the novelist [[Heinrich Mann]], and three of Mann's six children – [[Erika Mann]], [[Klaus Mann]] and [[Golo Mann]] – also became significant German writers. When [[Adolf Hitler]] [[Adolf Hitler's rise to power|came to power in 1933]], Mann fled to Switzerland. When [[World War II]] broke out in 1939, he moved to the United States, then returned to Switzerland in 1952. Mann is one of the best-known exponents of the so-called ''[[Exilliteratur]]'', [[Contemporary German literature|German literature]] written in exile by those who opposed the Hitler regime.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}}

==Life==
[[File:Buddenbrookhaus Luebeck (Germany) by night.jpg|thumb|House of the [[Mann family]] in Lübeck ("''Buddenbrookhaus''"), where Thomas Mann grew up; now a family museum]]

Paul Thomas Mann was born to a [[Hanseaten (class)|Hanseatic]] family in [[Lübeck]], the second son of Thomas Johann Heinrich Mann (a senator and a [[grain trade|grain merchant]]) and his wife [[Júlia da Silva Bruhns]], a Brazilian woman of German, Portuguese and Native Brazilian ancestry, who emigrated to Germany with her family when she was seven years old. His mother was [[Roman Catholic]] but Mann was baptised into his father's [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] religion. Mann's father died in 1891, and after that his trading firm was liquidated. The family subsequently moved to [[Munich]]. Mann first studied science at a Lübeck ''[[Gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]]'' (secondary school), then attended the [[University of Munich]] as well as the [[Technical University of Munich]], where, in preparation for a journalism career, he studied history, economics, art history and literature.<ref>{{Cite web| url = http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1929/mann-autobio.html| title = Thomas Mann Autobiography| publisher = Nobel Foundation| access-date = 25 January 2008| archive-date = 31 May 2013| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130531053902/http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1929/mann-autobio.html| url-status = live}}</ref>

Mann lived in Munich from 1891 until 1933,{{clarify|next section says he lived in Davos for a period of time|date=July 2018}} with the exception of a year spent in [[Palestrina]], Italy, with his elder brother, the novelist [[Heinrich Mann|Heinrich]]. Thomas worked at the South German Fire Insurance Company in 1894–95. His career as a writer began when he wrote for the magazine ''[[Simplicissimus]]''. Mann's first short story, "[[Little Herr Friedemann]]" (''Der Kleine Herr Friedemann''), was published in 1898.

In 1905, Mann married [[Katia Mann|Katia Pringsheim]], who came from a wealthy, secular Jewish industrialist family. She later joined the [[Lutheran]] church. The couple had six children: [[Erika Mann|Erika]] (b. 1905), [[Klaus Mann|Klaus]] (b. 1906), [[Golo Mann|Golo]] (b. 1909), [[Monika Mann|Monika]] (b. 1910), [[Elisabeth Mann Borgese|Elisabeth]] (b. 1918) and [[Michael Mann (scholar)|Michael]] (b. 1919).<ref>{{cite book

}} Translation by Leslie Willson of ''Thomas Mann: Das Leben als Kunstwerk'' (München C. H. Bick'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1999).</ref> Little detailed documentation exists about the full extent of Katia Mann's daily activities within the household, reflecting the broader historical tendency for women’s domestic labor to remain underrecorded. As the wife and the mother of six children, she assumed primary responsibility for organizing family and domestic life while he pursued his literary career. Although the precise scope of these contributions is difficult to reconstruct, this combination of domestic management and supportive work formed part of the largely invisible care labor that enabled many intellectual and artistic careers in the early twentieth century.

Due to the [[Alfred Pringsheim|Pringsheim family's]] wealth, Katia Mann was able to purchase a summer property in [[Bad Tölz]] in 1908, on which they built a country house the following year, which they kept until 1917.<ref>[https://www.bad-toelz.de/de/entdecken/kunst-literatur-1/thomas-mann-in-bad-toelz/thomas-mann-villa.html Mann country home] in [[Bad Tölz]] on the website of the municipality of Bad Tölz</ref> In 1914 they also purchased a villa in Munich (at Poschinger Str in the borough of [[Bogenhausen]], today 10 Thomas-Mann-Allee) where they lived until 1933.

===Pre-war and Second World War period===
In 1912, Katia was treated for what was incorrectly diagnosed as tuberculosis<ref>Jensen, Morten Høi (2025), p. 16.</ref> for a few months in a [[sanatorium]] in [[Davos]], Switzerland, where Thomas Mann visited her for a few weeks. This inspired him to write his 1924 novel ''[[The Magic Mountain]]''. He was also appalled by the risk of international confrontation between Germany and France, following the [[Agadir Crisis]] in Morocco, and later by the outbreak of the [[First World War]]. The novel ends with the outbreak of this war, in which the hero enlists, with his survival uncertain.

As a "German patriot", Mann had the proceeds from their summer house used in 1917 to subscribe to war bonds, which lost their face value after the war was lost. His father-in-law did the same, which caused a loss of a major part of the Pringsheim family's wealth. The disastrous [[Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic|inflation of 1923 and 1924]] resulted in additional high losses. The sales success of his novel ''The Magic Mountain'', published in 1924, improved his financial situation again, as did the award of the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] in 1929. He used the prize money to build a [[:File:House_of_Thomas_Mann_in_Nida_02.jpg|cottage]] in the fishing village of [[Nida, Lithuania|Nida]], Lithuania on the [[Curonian Spit]], where there was a German art colony and where he spent the summers of 1930–1932 working on ''[[Joseph and His Brothers]]''. Today, the cottage is a cultural center dedicated to him, with a small memorial exhibition.

In February 1933, having finished a book tour to Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris, Thomas Mann moved to [[Arosa]] (Switzerland) when [[Nazi seizure of power|Hitler took power]], and Mann heard from his eldest children, Klaus and Erika in Munich, that it would not be safe for him to return to Germany. His political views (see [[#Political views|chapter below]]) had made him an enemy of the Nazis. He was doubtful at first, because, with a certain naïveté, he could not imagine the violence of the overthrow and the persecution of opponents of the regime, but the children insisted, and their advice later turned out to be accurate when it emerged that even their driver-caretaker had become an [[informant]] and that Mann's immediate arrest would have been very likely.<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter XIV: ''Under ostracism and ban'', Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> The family (except these two children, who went to Amsterdam) emigrated to [[Küsnacht]], near [[Zürich]], Switzerland, after a stopover in [[Sanary-sur-Mer]], France. The son Golo managed, at great risk, to smuggle the already completed chapters of the ''Joseph'' novel and the (sensitive) diaries into Switzerland. The [[Bavarian Political Police]] searched Mann's house in Munich and confiscated the house, its inventory and the bank accounts. At the same time, an [[Protective custody (Nazi Germany)|arrest warrant]] was issued. Mann was also no longer able to use his holiday home in Lithuania because it was only a few hundred yards from the German border and he seemed to be at risk there. When all members of the Poetry Section at the [[Prussian Academy of Arts]] were asked to make a declaration of loyalty to the National Socialist government, Mann declared his resignation on 17 March 1933.

The writer's freedom of movement was reduced when his German passport expired. The Manns traveled to the United States for the first two times in 1934 and 1935. There was great interest in the prominent writer; the authorities allowed him entry without a valid passport. He received [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] citizenship and a passport in 1936, even though he had never lived there. A few weeks later the German citizenship of Mann, his wife Katia, and their children Golo, Elisabeth and Michael were revoked, and the Nazi government expropriated the family home in Munich, which [[Reinhard Heydrich]] in particular insisted on. It had already been confiscated and forcibly rented out in 1933.<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter XIV: ''Under ostracism and ban'', introduction: Chronicle 1933–1936, Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> In December 1936, the [[University of Bonn]] withdrew the honorary doctorate awarded to Mann in 1919; on 13 December 1946, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, it was reinstated.

In 1939, following the [[German occupation of Czechoslovakia]], Mann emigrated to the United States, while his in-laws only managed, thanks to high-ranking connections, to leave Germany for Zurich in October 1939. The Manns moved to [[Princeton, New Jersey]], where they lived on 65 Stockton Street<ref>[https://www.mercerhill.org/Stockton%20Street/65_stockton_st_.htm 65 Stockton Street], Princeton, New Jersey, on the website of the Mercer Hill Historic District Association</ref> and he began to teach at [[Princeton University]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://etcweb.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/mann_thomas.html| title = Source: Alexander Leitch, 1978| access-date = 5 January 2019| archive-date = 1 July 2014| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140701000437/http://etcweb.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/mann_thomas.html| url-status = dead}}</ref> In 1941 he was designated consultant in German Literature, later Fellow in Germanic Literature, at the [[Library of Congress]].<ref>Spiegel, Taru (1920).

===Anti-Nazi broadcasts===
The outbreak of World War II, on 1 September 1939, prompted Mann to offer anti-Nazi speeches in German to the German people via the [[BBC]]. In October 1940, he began monthly broadcasts, recorded in the U.S. and flown to London, where the [[BBC German Service]] broadcast them to Germany on the [[longwave]] band. In these eight-minute addresses, Mann condemned Hitler and his "paladins" as crude philistines completely out of touch with European culture. In one noted speech, he said: "The war is horrible, but it has the advantage of keeping Hitler from making speeches about culture."<ref>''Deutsche Hörer 25 (recte: 55) Radiosendungen nach Deutschland.''

Mann was one of the few publicly active opponents of Nazism among German expatriates in the U.S.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/|title=Thomas Mann's War|last=Boes|first=Tobias|date=2019|website=Cornell University Press|language=en-US|access-date=16 January 2020|archive-date=19 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219093640/https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/|url-status=live}}</ref> In a BBC broadcast of 30 December 1945, after the defeat of Germany, Mann said he understood why those peoples that had suffered from the Nazi regime would embrace the idea of [[German collective guilt]]. But he also thought that many enemies might now have second thoughts about "revenge". And he expressed regret that such judgement cannot be based on the individual:

{{blockquote|Those, whose world became grey a long time ago when they realized what mountains of hate towered over Germany; those, who a long time ago imagined during sleepless nights how terrible would be the revenge on Germany for the inhuman deeds of the Nazis, cannot help but view with wretchedness all that is being done to Germans by the Russians, Poles, or Czechs as nothing other than a mechanical and inevitable reaction to the crimes that the people have committed as a nation, in which unfortunately individual justice, or the guilt or innocence of the individual, can play no part.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Suppan |first1=Arnold|author-link=Arnold Suppan|title-link=Hitler–Beneš–Tito |title=Hitler–Beneš–Tito: National Conflicts, World Wars, Genocides, Expulsions, and Divided Remembrance in East-Central and Southeastern Europe, 1848–2018 |date=2019 |publisher=[[Austrian Academy of Sciences Press]] |location=Vienna |isbn=978-3-7001-8410-2 |jstor=j.ctvvh867x|pages=739–740|doi=10.2307/j.ctvvh867x |s2cid=214097654 }}</ref>}}

With the start of the [[Cold War]], he was increasingly frustrated by rising [[McCarthyism]]. As a "suspected communist", he was required to testify to the [[House Un-American Activities Committee]], where he was termed "one of the world's foremost apologists for Stalin and company".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.upi.com/Marking-writer-Thomas-Manns-life/79951123853113/|title=Marking writer Thomas Mann's life|website=UPI|date=12 August 2005|access-date=27 November 2017|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201031330/https://www.upi.com/Marking-writer-Thomas-Manns-life/79951123853113/|url-status=live}}</ref> He was listed by HUAC as being "affiliated with various peace organizations or Communist fronts". Being in his own words a non-communist, rather than an [[anti-communist]], Mann openly opposed the allegations: "As an American citizen of German birth, I finally testify that I am painfully familiar with certain political trends. Spiritual intolerance, political inquisitions, and declining legal security, and all this in the name of an alleged 'state of emergency'. ... That is how it started in Germany." As Mann joined protests against the jailing of the [[Hollywood Ten]] and the firing of schoolteachers suspected of being Communists, he found "the media had been closed to him".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Meyers|first=Jeffrey|date=Fall 2012|title=Thomas Mann in America|journal=[[Michigan Quarterly Review]]|volume=51|hdl=2027/spo.act2080.0051.419}}</ref> Finally, he was forced to quit his position as Consultant in Germanic Literature at the [[Library of Congress]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/m/the-magic-mountain/thomas-mann-biography|title=Thomas Mann Biography|website=Cliffs Notes|access-date=27 November 2017|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201043837/https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/m/the-magic-mountain/thomas-mann-biography|url-status=live}}</ref> and in 1952, he returned to Europe, to live in [[Kilchberg, Zürich|Kilchberg, near Zürich]], Switzerland. Here he initially lived in a rented house and bought his last house there in 1954 (which later his widow and then their son Golo lived in until their deaths). He never again lived in Germany, though he regularly traveled there. His most important German visit was in 1949, at the 200th birthday of [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]], attending celebrations in [[Frankfurt am Main]] (then [[West Germany]]) and [[Weimar]] (then [[East Germany]]), as a statement that German culture extended beyond the new political borders.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=H|first=Marcus Kenneth|date=2014|title=The International Relations of Thomas Mann in Early Cold War Germany|url=https://ideas.repec.org/a/bpj/nglost/v8y2014i1p15n4.html|journal=New Global Studies|language=en|volume=8|issue=1|pages=1–15|doi=10.1515/ngs-2014-0007|s2cid=155039470|access-date=19 September 2020|archive-date=5 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240505193743/https://ideas.repec.org/a/bpj/nglost/v8y2014i1p15n4.html|url-status=live|url-access=subscription}}</ref> He also visited Lübeck, where he saw his parents' house, which was partially destroyed by the [[bombing of Lübeck in World War II]] (and only later rebuilt). The city welcomed him warmly, but the patrician [[Hanseaten (class)|hanseatic]] families gave him a reserved welcome, since the publication of ''Buddenbrooks'' they had resented him for daring to describe their caste with some mockery, as they at least felt about it.{{fact|date=July 2025}}

Along with [[Albert Einstein]], Mann was one of the sponsors of the [[Peoples' World Convention]] (PWC), also known as Peoples' World Constituent Assembly (PWCA), which took place in 1950–51 at Palais Electoral, [[Geneva]], Switzerland.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Einstein |first1=Albert |url=http://archive.org/details/einsteinonpeace00eins |title=Einstein on peace |last2=Nathan |first2=Otto |last3=Norden |first3=Heinz |date=1968 |publisher=New York, Schocken Books |others=Internet Archive |pages=539, 670, 676}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=[Carta] 1950 oct. 12, Genève, [Suiza] [a] Gabriela Mistral, Santiago, Chile [manuscrito] Gerry Kraus. |url=http://www.bibliotecanacionaldigital.gob.cl/bnd/623/w3-article-137193.html |access-date=19 October 2023 |website=BND: Archivo del Escritor |archive-date=28 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028194759/http://www.bibliotecanacionaldigital.gob.cl/bnd/623/w3-article-137193.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Death===
Following his 80th birthday, Mann went on vacation to [[Noordwijk]] in the Netherlands. On 18 July 1955, he began to experience pain and unilateral swelling in his left leg. The condition of [[thrombophlebitis]] was diagnosed by Dr. Mulders from Leiden and confirmed by Dr. [[Wilhelm Löffler (doctor)|Wilhelm Löffler]]. Mann was transported to a Zürich hospital, but soon developed a state of [[shock (circulatory)|shock]]. On 12 August 1955, he died.<ref name=Bollinger1999>{{cite journal | last1 = Bollinger | first1 = A | year = 1999 | title = The death of Thomas Mann: consequence of erroneous angiologic diagnosis? | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10378317/ | journal = [[Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift]] | volume = 149 | issue = 2–4| pages = 30–32 | pmid = 10378317 }}</ref> Postmortem, his condition was found to have been misdiagnosed. The pathologic diagnosis, made by Christoph Hedinger, showed he had actually suffered a perforated [[iliac artery (disambiguation)|iliac artery]] [[aneurysm]] resulting in a [[retroperitoneal]] [[hematoma]], compression and [[thrombosis]] of the iliac vein. (At that time, lifesaving vascular surgery had not been developed.<ref name=Bollinger1999 />) On 16 August 1955, Thomas Mann was buried in the Kilchberg village cemetery.<ref>Wilson, Scott.

===Legacy===
Mann's work influenced many later authors, such as [[Yukio Mishima]]. Joseph Campbell also stated in an interview with Bill Moyers that Mann was one of his mentors.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Starrs|first=Roy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=szFvvhpAVtQC|title=Deadly Dialectics: Sex, Violence, and Nihilism in the World of Yukio Mishima|date=1994|publisher=University of Hawaii Press|isbn=978-0-8248-1631-5|language=en}}</ref> Many institutions are named in his honour, for instance the [[Thomas Mann Gymnasium (Budapest)|Thomas Mann Gymnasium]] of [[Budapest]].

===Nobel Prize in Literature===
Mann was awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] in 1929, after he had been nominated by [[Anders Österling]], member of the [[Swedish Academy]], principally in recognition of his popular achievements with ''[[Buddenbrooks]]'' (1901), ''[[The Magic Mountain]]'' (''Der Zauberberg'', 1924), and his numerous short stories.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show.php?id=7347|title=Nomination Database|date=April 2020|publisher=nobelprize.org|access-date=14 June 2017|archive-date=19 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219131319/http://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show.php?id=7347|url-status=live}}</ref> (Due to the personal taste of an influential committee member, only'' Buddenbrooks'' was cited at any great length.)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1929/index.html|title=The Nobel Prize in Literature 1929|website=The Nobel Prize|access-date=11 November 2007|archive-date=26 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181226103331/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/1929/summary/|url-status=live}}</ref> Based on Mann's own family, ''Buddenbrooks'' relates the decline of a merchant family in Lübeck over the course of four generations. ''The Magic Mountain'' (''Der Zauberberg'', 1924) follows an engineering student who, planning to visit his [[tuberculosis|tubercular]] cousin at a Swiss [[sanatorium]] for only three weeks, finds his departure from the sanatorium delayed. During that time, he confronts medicine and the way it looks at the body and encounters a variety of characters, who play out ideological conflicts and discontents of contemporary European civilization. The tetralogy ''Joseph and His Brothers'' is an epic novel written over a period of sixteen years and is one of the largest and most significant works in Mann's oeuvre. Later novels included ''[[Lotte in Weimar: The Beloved Returns|Lotte in Weimar]]'' (1939), in which Mann returned to the world of Goethe's novel ''[[The Sorrows of Young Werther]]'' (1774); ''[[Doctor Faustus (novel)|Doctor Faustus]]'' (1947), the story of the fictitious composer Adrian Leverkühn and the corruption of [[Culture of Germany|German culture]] in the years before and during World War II; and ''[[Confessions of Felix Krull]]'' (''Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull'', 1954), which was unfinished at Mann's death. These later works prompted two members of the [[Swedish Academy]] to nominate Mann for the Nobel Prize in Literature a second time, in 1948.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show_people.php?id=5871|title=Thomas Mann Nomination archive|date=April 2020|publisher=nobelprize.org|access-date=16 June 2021|archive-date=30 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210630160818/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show_people.php?id=5871|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Influence==
The writer [[Theodor Fontane]], who died in 1898, had a particular stylistic influence on Thomas Mann. Of course, Mann always admired and emulated [[Goethe]], the German "poet prince". The Danish author [[Herman Bang]], with whom he felt a kindred spirit, had a certain influence, especially on the novellas. The pessimistic philosopher [[Arthur Schopenhauer]] provided philosophical inspiration for the ''Buddenbrooks''' narrative of decline, especially with his two-volume work ''[[The World as Will and Representation]]'', which Mann studied closely while writing the novel. Russian narrators should also be mentioned, he admired the [[Russian Literature]]'s ability for self-criticism, at least during the 19th century, in [[Nikolai Gogol]], [[Ivan Goncharov]] and [[Ivan Turgenev]]. Mann believed that in order to make a [[Russian Revolution|bourgeois revolution]], the Russians had to forget [[Dostoevsky]].<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter IX: ''Orientation attempts'', subchapter ''Revolution in Russia'', Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> He particularly loved [[Leo Tolstoy]], whom he considered an anarchist and whom he lovingly and mockingly admired for his "courage to be boring."{{fact|date=July 2025}}

Throughout Mann's [[Dostoevsky]] essay, he finds parallels between the Russian and the sufferings of [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]. Speaking of Nietzsche, he says, "his personal feelings initiate him into those of the criminal ... in general all creative originality, all artist nature in the broadest sense of the word, does the same. It was the French painter and sculptor [[Edgar Degas|Degas]] who said that an artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime."<ref>{{Cite book|title= The Thomas Mann reader|last= Mann|first= Thomas|editor1-first= Joseph|editor1-last= Warner Angell|year= 1950|publisher= Knopf|location= New York|page= 440|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=Wc-zAAAAIAAJ}}</ref> Nietzsche's influence on Mann runs deep in his work, especially in Nietzsche's views on decay and the proposed fundamental connection between sickness and creativity. Mann believed that disease should not be regarded as wholly negative. In his essay on Dostoevsky, we find: "but after all and above all it depends on who is diseased, who mad, who epileptic or paralytic: an average dull-witted man, in whose illness any intellectual or cultural aspect is non-existent; or a Nietzsche or Dostoyevsky. In their case something comes out in illness that is more important and conducive to life and growth than any medical guaranteed health or sanity.... [I]n other words: certain conquests made by the soul and the mind are impossible without disease, madness, crime of the spirit."<ref>{{Cite book|title= The Thomas Mann reader|last= Mann|first= Thomas|editor1-first= Joseph|editor1-last= Warner Angell|year= 1950|publisher= Knopf|location= New York|page= 443|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=Wc-zAAAAIAAJ}}</ref>

== Thematic and stylistic focuses ==
Many of Thomas Mann's works have the following similarities:

* A "gravely-mischievous" style that is very popular with readers, with superficial solemnity and an underlying ironic humor, mostly benevolent, never drastic or bitter and only rarely degenerating into the macabre. Thomas Mann took this "mild irony" from his literary predecessor and role model [[Theodor Fontane]],<ref>See: Nadine Taylor, [https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:22d5d619-74e4-47d3-91c5-8f7236d1f25d/files/m7b2b1c072c9e9594792b4a87a7757527 The Creation of Literary Character in the Fiction of Theodor Fontane], University of Oxford, Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, 2016</ref> at first in ''[[Buddenbrooks]]'' where it is modified into local sedateness through [[Low German]] sprinkles and quotations. He continued this style, with variations, throughout his life (the contemporary, much more avant-garde author [[Alfred Döblin]] mocked that Mann had "elevated the ''pressed crease'' to a style principle").<ref>[https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/thomas-mann-originalton-edition-aus-kalter-perfektion-wird-100.html Aus „kalter Perfektion“ wird ein Wärmestrom] ("Cold perfection" becomes a flow of heat), Commentary on the original sound edition of the readings by Wolfgang Schneider, 2015.</ref> In ''[[Joseph and His Brothers]]'' the tone takes on something fairytale-biblical, but here too the irony often shines through. In ''[[Doctor Faustus (novel)|Doctor Faustus]]'', Thomas Mann adopts a predominantly serious tone in view of the sinister theme, although the critical irony does not completely disappear there either, for which the description of the nationalist milieu in the [[Weimar Republic]] in particular provides ample reason.
* The amusingly entertaining, mostly ironic descriptions of contemporaries as well as people of the past and their views and lifestyles based on his own observations or research, often very detailed, similar to his contemporary [[Marcel Proust]], are combined with various profound components: in ''Buddenbrooks'' with the motif of economic and spiritual decline of a family, in ''[[The Magic Mountain]]'' with the philosophical disputes of the time before the First World War, in ''[[Lotte in Weimar: The Beloved Returns|Lotte in Weimar]]'' with the circumstances of [[Goethe]]'s [[Weimar Classicism]] and the complicated effect between real and literary love, in ''Joseph and his brothers'' with biblical-mythical motifs and the question of origins as well as the eternal recurrence of the same "mythical" stories, in ''Doctor Faustus'' with the historical-political circumstances of the rise, success and fall of Nazism.
* Attachment to home regions: Lübeck (Buddenbrooks, Tonio Kröger) and Munich (Gladius Dei, At the Prophet, Disorder and Early Suffering) are in the foreground of important works.
* [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-R15883, Thomas Mann.jpg|thumb|Thomas Mann with his [[gramophone]] in his Munich house (1932)]]Classical music already plays a central role in ''Buddenbrooks'' and ''[[Tristan (novella)|Tristan]]'' (Mann loved [[Richard Wagner]]'s operas and, in his 1933 essay ''The Suffering and Greatness of Richard Wagner'', defended him against the Nazis' attempt to appropriate Wagner as a nationalist icon) and [[Neue Musik]] plays the main role in ''Doctor Faustus'' (about which Mann sought advice from [[Theodor W. Adorno]] and gave his hero's music features of [[Arnold Schoenberg]]'s compositional style).
* Central to Thomas Mann's thoughts and work is the mutual relationship between art and life: ''Ambiguity as a system'' is also the title of an essay.
* Conscientiousness: Thomas Mann always wrote his works after long and thorough research into the facts and the atmospheric circumstances.
* Political commitment (see below: Political views): His – mostly indirect – commitment runs through many of his works, from the ''Buddenbrooks'' (covering the revolutionary and counter-revolutionary shifts of the entire 19th century) to ''[[Mario and the Magician]]'' (mocking the atmosphere of 1920s [[Italian fascism]]) to ''Doctor Faustus''. In contrast to his brother Heinrich and his children Erika and Klaus, Thomas Mann at first advocated a rather conservative stance, especially in the ''[[Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man]]'' (1918), later and in his major works, however, a moderate, centrist and occasionally progressive attitude, while they were more "left-leaning".
* Homoerotic allusions are also common and recur in many works (see below: Sexuality and literary work).

==Political views==
{{Conservatism in Germany|Intellectuals}}
During World War I, Mann supported the conservatism of [[Kaiser Wilhelm II]], attacked liberalism, and supported the war effort, calling the [[Great War]] "a purification, a liberation, an enormous hope". In his 600-page-long work ''[[Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man]]'' (1918), Mann presented his conservative, anti-modernist philosophy: spiritual tradition over material progress, German patriotism over egalitarian internationalism, and rooted culture over rootless civilisation.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Thomas Mann on the Artist vs. the State|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/books/review/reflections-of-a-nonpolitical-man-thomas-mann.html|journal=The New York Times|date=17 September 2021|access-date=24 January 2023|issn=0362-4331|first=Christopher|last=Beha|archive-date=5 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221105215251/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/books/review/reflections-of-a-nonpolitical-man-thomas-mann.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=Thomas Mann and Spengler|journal=The German Quarterly|year=1985|issn=0016-8831|pages=361–374|volume=58|number=3|doi=10.2307/406568|first=Roger A.|last=Nicholls|jstor=406568}}</ref>

In "[[On the German Republic]]" ({{lang|de|Von Deutscher Republik}}, 1922), Mann called upon German intellectuals to support the new [[Weimar Republic]]. The work was delivered at the Beethovensaal in Berlin on 13 October 1922, and published in ''[[Die neue Rundschau]]'' in November 1922. In the work, Mann developed his eccentric defence of the Republic based on extensive close readings of [[Novalis]] and [[Walt Whitman]]. Also in 1921, he wrote an essay ''Mind and Money'' in which he made a very open assessment of his family background: "In any case, I am personally indebted to the capitalist world order from the past, which is why it will never be appropriate for me to spit on it as it is ''à la mode'' these days." Thereafter, his political views gradually shifted toward [[liberal-left]]. He especially embraced democratic principles when the Weimar Republic was established.<ref>See for a 2007 translation of this lecture by Lawrence S. Rainey: {{Cite journal |translator-last=Rainey |translator-first=Lawrence Scott |last=Mann |first=Thomas |author-link=Thomas Mann |date=2007 |orig-date=1922 |title=On the German Republic |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/209161 |journal=[[Modernism/modernity]] |volume=14 |issue=1 |pages=109–132 |doi=10.1353/mod.2007.0017 |issn=1080-6601|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|page=35|title=The First World War: Germany and Austria-Hungary 1914–1918|author=Herwig, Holger H.|publisher=[[Bloomsbury Publishing]]|date=2014|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4fTCAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA35|isbn=978-1-4725-1081-5}}</ref>

Mann initially gave his support to the left-liberal [[German Democratic Party]] before urging unity behind the [[Social Democratic Party of Germany|Social Democrats]],<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jones |first1=Larry Eugene |title=German Liberalism and the Dissolution of the Weimar Party System, 1918–1933 |date=2017 |publisher=UNC Press Books |page=212}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vaget |first1=Hans Rudolf |title=Thomas Mann: Enlightenment and Social Democracy |journal=Publications of the English Goethe Society |date=2017 |volume=86 |issue=3 |pages=193–204|doi=10.1080/09593683.2017.1368931 |s2cid=171525633 }}</ref> probably less for ideological reasons, but because he only trusted the political party of the workers to provide sufficient mass and resistance to the growing [[Nazism]]. In 1930, he gave a public address in Berlin titled ''An Appeal to Reason'', in which he strongly denounced Nazism and encouraged resistance by the working class. This was followed by numerous essays and lectures in which he attacked the [[Nazi Party|Nazis]]. At the same time, he expressed increasing sympathy for [[socialist]] ideas. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Mann and his wife were on holiday in Switzerland. Due to his strident denunciations of Nazi policies, his son Klaus advised him not to return. In contrast to those of his brother Heinrich and his son Klaus, Mann's books were not among those burnt publicly by Hitler's regime in May 1933, possibly since he had been the Nobel laureate in literature for 1929. In 1936, the Nazi government officially revoked his German citizenship.

During the war, Mann made a series of anti-Nazi radio-speeches, published as ''[[Listen, Germany!]]'' in 1943. They were recorded on tape in the United States and then sent to the United Kingdom, where the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] transmitted them, hoping to reach German listeners.

=== Views on Soviet communism and German Nazism ===
Mann expressed his belief in the collection of letters written in exile, ''Listen, Germany!''

[[File:Thomas Mann 1900 cropped.jpg|thumb|Thomas Mann in 1900 when he completed ''Buddenbrooks'']]
In the autobiographical novella ''[[Tonio Kröger]]'' from 1901, the young hero has a crush on a handsome male classmate (modeled after real-life Lübeck classmate Armin Martens). In the novella ''With the prophet'' (1904) Mann mocks the believing disciples of a neo-Romantic "prophet" who preaches asceticism and has a strong resemblance to the real contemporary poet [[Stefan George]] and his ''[[George-Kreis]]'' ("George-Circle"). In 1902, George had met the fourteen-year-old boy [[Maximilian Kronberger]]; He made an idol of him and after his early death in 1904 transfigured him into a kind of [[Antinous]]-style "god".

Mann had also started planning a novel about [[Frederick the Great]] in 1905/1906, which ultimately did not come to fruition. The [[sexuality of Frederick the Great]] would have played a significant role in this, its impact on his life, his political decisions and wars. In late 1914, at the start of World War I, Mann used the notes and excerpts already collected for this project to write his essay "Frederick and the grand coalition" in which he contrasted Frederick's soldierly, male drive and his literary, female connotations consisting of "decomposing" skepticism.<ref>"Frederick and the grand coalition, an outline for the day and the hour". The essay was first published in {{lang|de|Der Neue Merkur}} (January/February 1915), and Mann himself later included it in an anthology (''Old and New'', 1953). See: {{lang|de|[https://www.fischerverlage.de/buch/thomas-mann-friedrich-und-die-grosse-koalition-9783104004075 Friedrich und die große Koalition, Ein Abriß für den Tag und die Stunde]}}, Fischer</ref> A similar "decomposing skepticism" had already estranged the barely concealed gay novel characters Tonio Kröger and Hanno [[Buddenbrooks|Buddenbrook]] (1901) from their traditional upper class family environments and hometown (which in both cases is Lübeck). The ''[[Confessions of Felix Krull]]'', written from 1910 onwards, describes a self-absorbed young dandyish imposter who, if not explicitly, fits into the gay typology, at one point considering, but ultimately refusing, the advances of a Scottish lord to accept him as his [[sugar daddy]] and in return be adopted and named as heir. The 1909 novel ''[[Royal Highness (novel)|Royal Highness]]'', which describes a young unworldly and dreamy prince who forces himself into a marriage of convenience that ultimately becomes happy, was modeled after Mann's own romance and marriage to Katia Mann in February 1905.

In ''[[The Magic Mountain]]'', Hans Castorp, in love with Clawdia Chauchat, recalls his schooltime when, as a fourteen-year-old, he adored a classmate, Pribislav Hippe, whom he asked, with his heart pounding, if he could lend him his pencil, of which he keeps a few scraps like a relic. Borrowing and returning were interpreted as poetic masks for a sexual act. But it is not just a poetic symbol. In his diary entry from 15 September 1950, Mann remembers "Williram Timpe's scraps from his pencil", referring to a classmate from Lübeck.<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter II: "Williram Timpe", Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> The novella ''[[Mario and the Magician]]'' (1929) ends with a murder due to a male–male kiss.

Numerous homoerotic crushes are documented in his letters and diaries, both before and after his marriage. Mann's diary records his [[incest]]uous attraction to his own 13-year-old son, "Eissi" – [[Klaus Mann]]: "Klaus to whom recently I feel very drawn" (22 June). In the background conversations about man-to-man eroticism take place; a long letter is written to Carl Maria Weber on this topic, while the diary reveals: "In love with Klaus during these days" (5 June). "Eissi, who enchants me right now" (11 July). "Delight over Eissi, who in his bath is terribly handsome. Find it very natural that I am in love with my son ... Eissi lay reading in bed with his brown torso naked, which disconcerted me" (25 July). "I heard noise in the boys' room and surprised Eissi completely naked in front of Golo's bed acting foolish. Strong impression of his premasculine, gleaming body. Disquiet" (17 October 1920).<ref>{{cite book |last1= Kurzke |first1= Herrmann |title= Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art : a Biography |date= 2002 |publisher= Princeton University Press |isbn= 978-0-691-07069-8 |pages= [https://archive.org/details/thomasmannlifeas00kurz/page/346 346–347] |url= https://archive.org/details/thomasmannlifeas00kurz/page/346 }}</ref> His younger son [[Golo Mann|Golo]], homosexual like Klaus, suffered lifelong from the lower esteem his father showed him, the less handsome and somewhat clumsy – but ultimately he inherited more of his father's literary talent than the older one.

Mann was a friend of the painter and violinist [[Paul Ehrenberg]], for whom he had feelings as a young man (from 1899 to 1904, at least until around 1903 when there is evidence that those feelings had cooled). The attraction that he felt for Ehrenberg, which is corroborated by notebook entries, caused Mann difficulty and discomfort and may have been an obstacle to his marrying an English woman, Mary Smith, whom he met in 1901.{{Sfn | Mundt | 2004 | p = [https://books.google.com/books?id=p2TsRx0wascC&pg=PA6 6]}} In 1927, while on summer vacation in [[Kampen (Sylt)]], the 52-year-old Mann fell in love with 17-year-old Klaus Heuser, to whom he dedicated the introduction to his essay "[[Heinrich von Kleist|Kleist's]] Amphitryon, a Reconquest" in the fall of the same year, which he read publicly in Munich in the presence of Heuser. [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter]], who has transformed himself into the form of the general [[Amphitryon]], tries to seduce his wife Alcmene when the real Amphitryon returns home and Alcmene rejects the god. Mann understands Jupiter as the "lonely artistic spirit" who courts life, is rejected and, "a triumphant renouncer", learns to be content with his divinity.<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter XIII: "Midlife homosexuality", Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> In 1950, Mann met the 19-year-old waiter Franz Westermeier, confiding to his diary "Once again this, once again love".<ref name="mundt">{{cite book |last =Mundt |first =Hannelore |title =Understanding Thomas Mann |date =2004 |publisher =The University of South Carolina Press |url =https://books.google.com/books?id=p2TsRx0wascC |isbn =978-1-57003-537-1}}</ref> He immediately processed the experience in his essay "[[Michelangelo]] in his poems" (1950) and was also inspired to write "[[The Black Swan (short story)|The Black Swan]]" (1954). In 1975, when Mann's diaries were published, creating a national sensation in Germany, the retired Westermeier was tracked down in the United States: he was flattered to learn he had been the object of Mann's obsession, but also shocked at its depth.<ref name="fintimes">{{cite web |last= Paul |first= James|title= A man's Mann |date=5 August 2005|work=[[Financial Times]] |url=https://www.ft.com/content/1c4baa2a-05ce-11da-883e-00000e2511c8|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210324003045/https://www.ft.com/content/1c4baa2a-05ce-11da-883e-00000e2511c8|archivedate=24 March 2021|url-status=live|access-date=23 March 2021 }}</ref>

Mann's infatuations probably remained largely [[Platonic love|platonic]]. Katia Mann tolerated these love affairs, as did the children, because they knew that it did not go too far. He exchanged letters with Klaus Heuser for a while and met him again in 1935. He wrote about the Heuser experience in his diary on 6 May 1934: "In comparison, the early experiences with Armin Martens and Williram Timpe recede far into the childlike, and that with Klaus Heuser was a late happiness with the character of life-relevant fulfillment ... That's probably how it is humanly, and because of this normality I can feel my life is more canonical than through marriage and children." In the entry from 20 February 1942, he spoke again about Klaus Heuser: "Well, yes − lived and loved. Black eyes that shed tears for me, beloved lips that I kissed − it was there, I had it too, I'll be able to tell myself when I die."<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter XIII: "Homoeroticism in midlife", subchapter "Klaus Heuser and Amphitryon", Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> He was partly delighted, partly ashamed of the depth of his own emotions in these cases and mostly made them productive at some earlier or later date, but the experiences themselves were not yet literary. Only in retrospective, he converted them into literary production and sublimated his shame into the theory that "a writer experiences in order to express himself", that his life is just material. Mann even went so far as to accuse his brother [[Heinrich Mann|Heinrich]] of his "aestheticism being a gesture-rich, highly gifted impotence for life and love."<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter II: "First love: Armin Martens" (in: ''[[Tonio Kröger]]''), Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> When Mann met the aging bachelor Heuser, who had worked in China for 18 years, for the last time in 1954, his daughter Erika scoffed: "Since he (Heuser) couldn't have the magician (= Thomas Mann's nickname with his children), he preferred to give it up completely."<ref>Thomas Mann's diary entry from 29 August 1954. In fact, Klaus Heuser is said to have had a lover named Anwar. See the 2013 novel ''Königsallee'' by Hans Pleschinski under {{section link|#Other cultural references}}.</ref>

Although Mann had always denied his novels had autobiographical components, the unsealing of his diaries revealing how consumed his life had been with unrequited and sublimated passion resulted in a reappraisal of his work.<ref name="fintimes" /><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.schwulesmuseum.de/ausstellungen/archives/2016/view/applaus-muss-sein-hommage-zum-50-todestag-von-thomas-mann/|title= Norbert Heuler – Houseboys|publisher= Schwules Museum|access-date= 18 July 2016|archive-date= 15 September 2016|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160915030640/http://www.schwulesmuseum.de/ausstellungen/archives/2016/view/applaus-muss-sein-hommage-zum-50-todestag-von-thomas-mann/|url-status= live}}</ref> Thomas Mann had burned all of his diaries from before March 1933 in the garden of his home in Pacific Palisades in May 1945. Only the booklets from September 1918 to December 1921 were preserved because the author needed them for his work on ''[[Doctor Faustus (novel)|Doctor Faustus]]''. He later decided to have them − and his diaries from 1933 onwards – published 20 years after his death and predicted "surprise and cheerful astonishment". They were published by [[Peter von Mendelssohn]] and [[Walter Jens|Inge Jens]] in 10 volumes.

From the very beginning, Thomas' son [[Klaus Mann]] openly dealt with his own homosexuality in his literary work and open lifestyle and referred critically to his father's "[[Sublimation (psychology)|sublimation]]" in his diary. On the other hand, Thomas's daughter [[Erika Mann]] and his son [[Golo Mann]] came out only later in their lives. Thomas Mann reacted cautiously to Klaus's first novel ''The Pious Dance, Adventure Book of a Youth'' (1926), which is openly set in [[LGBT culture in Berlin|Berlin's homosexual milieu]]. Although he embraced male–male eroticism, he disapproved of gay lifestyle. The [[Eulenburg affair]], which broke out two years after Mann's marriage, had strengthened him in his renunciation of a gay life and he supported the journalist [[Maximilian Harden]], who was friends with Katia Mann's family, in his denunciatory trial against the gay [[Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg|Prince of Eulenburg]], a close friend of Emperor [[Wilhelm II]].<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter VII: "Jews", subchapter "The Harden trial", Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> Thomas Mann was always concerned about his dignity, reputation and respectability; the "poet king" [[Goethe]] was his role model. His horror at a possible collapse of these attributes found expression in the character of Aschenbach in ''Death in Venice''. Cases like that of the industrialist [[Friedrich Alfred Krupp]], who felt driven to suicide after a homosexual affair became public, were not uncommon and had a deterrent effect. But as time went on Mann became more open. He tolerated his son Klaus bringing his various lovers to lunch in Pacific Palisades, and was only appalled when these – navy sailors and the like – had never heard of him or his works, which, unfortunately, was mostly the case, leading to short, surly diary entries about their lack of culture. When the twenty-two-year-old novelist [[Gore Vidal]] published his third novel ''[[The City and the Pillar]]'' in 1948, a love-story between small-town American boys and a portrait of homosexual life in New York and Hollywood in the forties, a highly controversial book even among the publishers, not to mention the press, he sent a copy to Thomas Mann who responded politely, calling it a "noble work".<ref>[https://search.worldcat.org/de/title/1244514936 "The city and the pillar and seven early stories"] {revised ed.), book summary from publisher [[Random House]], New York 1995</ref>

When the physician and pioneer of gay liberation [[Magnus Hirschfeld]] sent another petition to the [[Reichstag (Weimar Republic)|Reichstag]] in 1922 to abolish [[Paragraph 175|Section 175]] of the German Criminal Code, under which many homosexuals were imprisoned simply because of their inclinations, Thomas Mann also signed.<ref>Hermann Kurzke, ''Thomas Mann: Life as a Work of Art: A Biography'', chapter XIII: "Against § 175", Princeton University Press (2002).</ref> However, criminal liability among adults was only abolished through a change in the law on 25 June 1969 − fourteen years after Mann's death and just three days before the [[Stonewall riots]]. This legal situation certainly had an impact throughout his life; the man whom the Nazis labeled a traitor never had any desire to be incarcerated for "criminal acts".

Formal diplomatic relations between contemporary India and Saudi Arabia were established soon after India gained [[Indian Independence Act 1947|independence in 1947]]. Relations between the two countries have strengthened considerably owing to collaboration in regional affairs and trade. Saudi Arabia is one of the largest suppliers of [[petroleum|oil]] to India, who is one of the top seven trading partners and the fifth biggest investor in Saudi Arabia.<ref name="CH">{{cite web|url=http://www.business-standard.com/common/storypage_c_online.php?bKeyFlag=IN&autono=38855 |title=India, Saudi Arabia to better understanding |access-date=4 June 2008 |work=[[Business Standard]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216135049/http://www.business-standard.com/common/storypage_c_online.php?bKeyFlag=IN&autono=38855 |archive-date=16 December 2008 }}</ref>

==Background==
Since its independence in 1947, India has sought to maintain strong ties with Saudi Arabia, an important regional power and trading base in [[West Asia]].

==Development of bilateral relations==
India's strategic relations with Saudi Arabia have been affected by the latter's relations with Pakistan.<ref name="SO2"/> Saudi Arabia supported Pakistan's stance on the [[Kashmir conflict]] and during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], at the expense of its relations with India.<ref name="VA2"/> The [[Soviet Union]]'s close relations with India also negatively affected Indo-Saudi relations.<ref name="VA2"/><ref name="SO2"/> During the [[Gulf War|Persian Gulf War]] (1990–91), India officially maintained [[Neutral country|neutrality]].

Since the 1990s, both nations have taken steps to improve ties.

In a rare diplomatic gesture symbolising the strong cultural and socio-economic ties between the two nations, Dr Singh and his official delegation were received at the royal terminal of the [[King Khalid International Airport]] by [[Sultan, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia|Crown Prince]] [[Sultan bin Abdul Aziz]] accompanied by his entire cabinet. In departure from the protocol norms, a red carpet was rolled out to the Prime Minister, instead of the traditional green carpet. The nearly 40 km route from the airport to the city centre was lined with Indian and Saudi Arabian flags.<ref name="Saudis roll out red carpet to Manmohan"/>

The '''2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election''' took place on 30 April and 7 May 2014 to elect members to the legislatures of [[Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly|Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana Legislative Assembly|Telangana]]. It was held concurrently with the [[2014 Indian general election|Indian general election]]. The results were declared on 16 May 2014. The [[Telugu Desam Party]] led by [[N. Chandrababu Naidu]] won a majority of the 175 seats in the residual [[Andhra Pradesh]], while [[Telangana Rashtra Samithi]] led by [[K. Chandrashekar Rao]] won in the new state of [[Telangana]].

== Previous Assembly ==
In the [[State Assembly elections in India, 2009#Andhra Pradesh|2009 Andhra Pradesh Assembly election]], Congress had taken the lead, winning 156 of the 294 seats in the Assembly. As the leader of the Congress Legislature Party, [[Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy]] was invited to form the government by [[Governor of Andhra Pradesh|Governor]] [[N. D. Tiwari]].

Unexpectedly, the Government lasted for 4 years 9 months, and the president rule was imposed later which expired on 30 May 2014. The [[Election Commission of India]] (ECI) decided to hold the Assembly elections along with the [[2014 Indian general election|general election]]. The election in each Assembly constituency (AC) was held in the same phase as the election to the corresponding Parliamentary constituency that the AC falls under.

== Background ==
On 3 October 2013, the [[Union Cabinet of India]] approved the creation of the new State of Telangana.<ref>{{cite web|title=Creation of a new state of Telangana by bifurcating the existing State of Andhra Pradesh|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=99854|publisher=Home Ministry, Govt. of India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004214211/http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=99854|archive-date=4 October 2013|access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref> On 2 June 2014 the [[President of India]], [[Pranab Mukherjee]] issued a gazette notification which formalised the separation of [[Telangana]] from [[Andhra Pradesh]].

* In the other 10 [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]]-allotted seats, [[Telugu Desam Party|TDP]] did not contest.
* In the Andhra region (constituencies 120–294), CPI fielded 31 candidates in 2014, indicating no alliance with Congress in those seats.

== Election day ==
The election was held in two phases alongside the 7th and 8th phases of the General Election, taking place on 30 April in Telangana, and on 7 May in the remainder of Andhra Pradesh.

Despite few clashes between supporters of rival parties in Seemandhra and Rayalaseema, the poll percentage was good on the polling day. The initial poll percentage appeared to be dull, but it soon picked up as time went on. Chief Electoral Officer Bhanwar Lal told the media that he was confident that the turnout could be around 85–90% by the concluding time.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}

=== Phase 1 (Telangana) ===
Polling passed off peacefully with more than 72% of more than 2.81 crore voters exercising their franchise in the 10 districts in the region. Chief Electoral Officer Bhanwarlal said the polling could touch 75%. In 2009, the turnout was 67.71% in the region.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/telangana-witnesses-high-voter-turnout/article5963416.ece|title=Telangana witnesses high voter turnout|author=|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=30 April 2014 }}</ref>

=== Phase 2 (Andhra Pradesh) ===
Chief Electoral Officer Bhanwarlal said around 76.80% of the 3.68 crore voters exercised their franchise across 175 Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in the region and the voting percentage were seen as likely to touch 80%. The highest turnout of 82.97% was recorded in the Guntur district and the lowest of 70% in Visakhapatnam district.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/high-voter-turnout-in-seemandhra/article5986563.ece|title=High voter turnout in Seemandhra|author=|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=7 May 2014 }}</ref>

{{Main|War in North-West Pakistan|Operation Zarb-e-Azb|Operation Khyber-1}}

In June 2014, a joint military offensive was conducted by the [[Pakistan Armed Forces]] against various groups in [[North Waziristan]] which had been the site of a wave of violence. The military offensive, [[Operation Zarb-e-Azb]], was launched in the wake of the [[2014 Jinnah International Airport attack|8 June attack on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi]], for which the TTP claimed responsibility.

According to the Director General of the [[Inter-Services Public Relations]] (ISPR) and public relations department of the Pakistani military, Major-General [[Asim Bajwa]], the terrorists did not intend to take any hostages but instead wanted to kill as many people as they could. As the terrorists opened fire, many of the people ran toward the two exits on the other side of the auditorium; many others were gunned down in the garden. Reports also surfaced that pupils were forced to watch teachers<ref>{{Cite web |agency=Reuters |date=17 December 2014 |title=5 horrific eyewitness accounts on Peshawar school massacre |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/peshawar-massacre/story/peshawar-school-attack-massacre-5-facts-eye-witness-231578-2014-12-17 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181019001900/https://www.indiatoday.in/peshawar-massacre/story/peshawar-school-attack-massacre-5-facts-eye-witness-231578-2014-12-17 |archive-date=19 October 2018 |access-date=18 October 2018 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref> be killed in front of them. This included principal [[Tahira Qazi]], who was burned to death in front of her students.

Within 15 minutes, the SSG teams had stormed the school and entered the premises from two sides in their heavy armoured vehicles and trucks. Immediately, the SSG personnel engaged the terrorists, preventing them from going after and killing other remaining teaching staff and students. The gunmen moved to the administration block of the school and took hostages there. One of them was shot by the military personnel near the auditorium, while the other five managed to make it to the administration block. Emergency trauma teams and units of the [[Pakistan Army Medical Corps|Army Medical Corps]] in military armoured vehicles were rushed to the school; the [[Pakistan Army Corps of Military Police|Army Corps of Military Police]] and the provincial civilian [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police]] (KP Police) worked towards closing off any potential escape routes for the terrorists.

Meanwhile, the SSG commandos had reached the area and surrounded the administration block. Most of the operation took place in the attempt to clear this block and rescue the hostages taken by the gunmen. Special teams of snipers and their spotters pinpointed the terrorists. One of the six attackers was killed by the snipers from the windows and air vents, while the other three were killed when the commandos stormed the building and rescued the remaining hostages in the process. Seven commandos, including two officers, were injured in the battle. A search and clearance operation was started immediately to defuse any IEDs planted by the gunmen within the school premises or in the suicide vests that the terrorists were wearing. The terrorists were in contact with their handlers during the attack, but soon after the SSG had moved in, the security forces intercepted the terrorists' communications.

At a press conference, Major-General Bajwa would later state, "We know who they are and who they were in contact with but details cannot be shared due to operation reasons. They were aware of locations and they must have carried out the recon of the area. And it is highly possible that someone from inside might have tipped them off."<ref name=":0" />

An estimated total of 1,099 people and teaching staff were present on the school premises. Responding forces were successful in rescuing approximately 960, though 139 were injured. 149 people were killed, including 132 children and 9 school staff members.<ref name=":0" />

== Responsibility ==
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as revenge for Operation [[Operation Zarb-e-Azb|Zarb-e-Azb]], the Pakistani military's offensive in North Waziristan that started in summer 2014.

TTP spokesman Muhammad Omar Khorasani said that "we targeted the school because the Army targets our families. We want them to feel our pain.", "Our six fighters successfully entered the Army school and we are giving them instructions from outside," said Khorasani by phone.{{According to whom|date=December 2022}} During the massacre, Khorasani also said, "Our suicide bombers have entered the school, they have instructions not to harm the children, but to target the Army personnel. It's a revenge attack for the Army offensive in North Waziristan."

=== Lifting of moratorium on executions of terrorists ===

On 17 December 2014, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approved paperwork to remove the moratorium on the death penalty in terrorism cases.<ref name="The News International, 2014">{{cite news|title= Pakistan to end death penalty moratorium in terror cases|url= http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-168932-Pakistan-to-end-death-penalty-moratorium-in-terror-cases|access-date= 17 December 2014|publisher= The News International|date= 17 December 2014|archive-date= 17 December 2014|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141217120428/http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-168932-Pakistan-to-end-death-penalty-moratorium-in-terror-cases|url-status= live}}</ref> Sources from the [[Prime Minister's Secretariat (Pakistan)|Prime Minister's Secretariat]] stated: "The Prime Minister has approved abolishment of moratorium on the execution of death penalty in terrorism-related cases."<ref name="The News International, 2014" />

Pakistan has had a moratorium on executions since 2008.

David Griffiths, Deputy Director for [[Amnesty International]] Asia-Pacific opposed the decision, saying "Resorting to the death penalty is not the answer – it is never the answer.

=== Turning of public opinion ===
The massacre heavily influenced public opinion on insurgent groups in Pakistan such as the TTP, which previously enjoyed moderate support from the residents of KPK and other areas where government support was waning. Many were horrified by the mass killing of children, and sympathy for insurgent groups rapidly declined over the following months.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hoodbhoy |first=Pervez |date=30 December 2023 |title=No longer Jihadistan |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1801824 |access-date=13 November 2024 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref>

The massacre also marked an escalation in the violence of TTP-backed terrorism, with subsequent attacks showing the same disregard for civilian lives. This further eroded public opinion over the course of the next decade.

Thrissur rose to importance after Maharaja [[Sakthan Thampuran]] ascended the throne of the Kingdom of Cochin (1769–1805) and made Thrissur his capital. The Maharaja made the city into a major financial and commercial hub of [[South India]], by inviting [[Saint Thomas Christians|Syrian Christian]] families and [[Brahmins]] from adjoining areas.<ref name="Brief History" />

During 1750–60 [[Hyder Ali]], the Sultan of the powerful [[Kingdom of Mysore]], conquered Thrissur, making it a tributary of Mysore. In 1786, the son of [[Tipu Sultan]] of Mysore led another invasion of Thrissur but retreated after the Srirangapattanam war.<ref>{{cite web

=== Critical response ===

A critic from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote "This leads to a clash between the friends and the goonda. However, they use their brain and put the rowdy behind bars. The Ganesh Utsav happens successfully but then Razor Raja comes out on bail and he decides to take revenge. What happens after that forms the rest of the story".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2011/jul/28/vinayaka-geleyara-balaga-275994.html|title=Vinayaka Geleyara Balaga|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=28 July 2011}}</ref> A critic from [[News18 India]] wrote "Hari Krishna composes three fantastic songs including the much popular 'Yaarivali Hudugi' and the devotional number 'Vakrathunda'.

== Plagiarism Allegations ==
Amit Trivedi has faced allegations of plagiarism twice in his career.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-10-15 |title=Amit Trivedi Is Under Scrutiny For Ripping Off Coldplay's Song For Shaandar's 'Nazdeekiyan'! |url=https://www.indiatimes.com/entertainment/amit-trivedi-is-under-scrutiny-for-ripping-off-coldplay-s-song-for-shaandar-s-nazdeekiyan-246274.html |access-date=2024-08-25 |website=Indiatimes |language=en-IN}}</ref> He was first accused of copying the background score for the trailer of ''[[Lootera]]'' from Rachel Portman's track "We Had Today" from the [[One Day (2011 film)|''One Day'' (2011)]] soundtrack.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTyjKobiG1U |title=Amit Trivedi's Lootera theme sounds exactly like Rachel Portman's track for One Day |date=2013-03-22 |last=Bollywood Life |access-date=2024-08-25 |via=YouTube}}</ref> Lootera's director [[Vikramaditya Motwane]] denied these claims stating, "The theme is sourced from a small musical bit composed by Amit Trivedi for a song that's in the film, which we decided to expand and turn into a full fledged theme for the trailer. Unfortunately, it ends up sounding a lot like One Day but I assure you that it's coincidental".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-03-20 |title=Is the background score of Lootera copied? |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/music/story/is-the-background-score-of-lootera-copied-156623-2013-03-19 |access-date=2024-08-25 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref>

In 2015, he was accused again for his composition of the ballad "Nazdeekiyan" for [[Dharma Productions]]' ''[[Shaandaar (2015 film)|Shandaar]]'' (2015), which was similar to popular alternative-rock band [[Coldplay]]'s "Oceans" from their sixth studio album ''[[Ghost Stories (Coldplay album)|Ghost Stories]]'' (2014). Addressing the allegations in an interview with ''[[Deccan Chronicle]],'' Trivedi said: "I swear on my music, I didn’t copy it at all. I will quit music if I would ever do plagiarism. There are seven music notes, which are used in the entire world. It’s purely a coincidence that my song is similar to this one. I don’t even know about this song. I will surely listen to Coldplay-Oceans after this".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Correspondent |first=D.

'''Sambandar''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]: சம்பந்தர், [[Romanization|romanized]]: ''Campantar''), also referred to as '''Thirugnana Sambandar''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]: திருஞானசம்பந்தர், [[Romanization|romanized]]: ''Tiruñāṉacampantar''), was a [[Shaivism|Shaiva]] poet-saint of [[Tamil Nadu]] who lived sometime in the 7th century CE.{{sfn|Peterson|1989|pp=19–27, 272-273}}<ref name="Dehejia 1987 pp. 53–61"/> According to the Tamil Shaiva tradition, he composed an {{Wikt-lang|en|oeuvre}} of 16,000 hymns in complex meters, of which 383 (384) hymns with 4,181 stanzas have survived.{{sfn|Zvelebil|1974|p=95}} These narrate an intense loving devotion (''[[bhakti]]'') to the Hindu god [[Shiva]]. Sambandar merged with the divine effulgence when he was sixteen years of age. The surviving compositions of the poet-saint are preserved in the first three volumes of the ''[[Tirumurai]] called'' '''Thirukkadik kaappu''', and provide a part of the philosophical foundation of Shaiva Siddhanta.<ref name="Dehejia 1987 pp. 53–61">{{cite journal | last=Dehejia | first=Vidya | title=Sambandar: a Child-Saint of South India | journal=South Asian Studies | publisher=Taylor & Francis | volume=3 | issue=1 | year=1987 | doi=10.1080/02666030.1987.9628355 | pages=53–61}}</ref>{{sfn|Zvelebil|1974|p=95}}

He is one of the most prominent of the sixty-three [[Nayanars]], [[Tamil people|Tamil]] [[Shaiva]] [[Bhakti movement|bhakti]] saints who lived between the sixth and the tenth centuries CE. He was a contemporary of [[Appar]], another Shaiva poet-saint.<ref name="Encyclopaedia of Jainism, Volume 1, page 5468">''Encyclopaedia of Jainism, Volume 1, page 5468''</ref>

==Life==
[[File:Thirukkadaiyur Gopuram Appar.JPG|thumb|left|250px|Amirthakadaieeshwarar temple relief depicting Appar bearing Sambandar's palanquin]]
Information about Sambandar comes mainly from the ''[[Periya Puranam]]'', the eleventh-century Tamil book on the Nayanars that forms the last volume of the ''Tirumurai'', along with the earlier ''Tiruttondartokai'', poetry by [[Sundarar]] and [[Nambiyandar Nambi]]'s ''Tiru Tondar Tiruvandadi''. A [[Sanskrit]] [[hagiography]] called ''Brahmapureesa Charitam'' is now lost. The first three volumes of the ''Tirumurai'' contain three hundred and eighty-four poems of Sambandar, all that survive out of a reputed more than 10,000 hymns.<ref name="Majumdar_1951">{{cite book | last = Majumdar | first = Ramesh Chandra | title = The History and Culture of the Indian People: The classical age | publisher = G. Allen & Unwin | date = 1951 | location = Crows Nest, Australia | pages = 330 }}</ref>

According to the Tamil texts, Sambandar was born to Sivapada Hrudiyar and his wife Bhagavathiar who lived in [[Sirkazhi]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. They were [[Shaivite]] [[Brahmin]]s. When Sambandar was three years old, his parents took him to the Shiva temple, where Shiva and his consort [[Parvati]] appeared before the child. His father saw drops of milk on the child's mouth and asked who had fed him, whereupon the boy pointed to the sky and responded with the song ''Todudaya Seviyan'', the first verse of the ''Tevaram''. At the age of three, he is said to have mastered the [[Veda]]s. Sambandar merged with the divine effulgence in the Tamil month of [[Vaisakha|Vaikasi]] at the age of sixteen at his wedding along with all the attendees.{{sfn|Peterson|1989|pp=19–27, 272-273}}<ref name="Dehejia 1987 pp. 53–61"/>

===Inscriptions===
An inscription of [[Rajaraja Chola I]] at [[Tiruvarur]] mentions Sambandar along with [[Appar]], [[Sundarar]] and the latter's wife Nangai Paravaiyar.

Many other inscriptions likely are related to the musical bhakti singing tradition founded by Sambandar and other Nayanars. The singers of these hymns were referred to as ''Tirupadiyam Vinnapam seyvar'' or ''Pidarar'' in Tamil inscriptions from about the 8th to 16th centuries, such as the inscriptions of [[Nandivarman III]] in the Tiruvallam Bilavaneswara temple records. Rajaraja deputed 48 ''pidarars'' and made liberal provisions for their maintenance and successors.<ref name="Vasu13">Vasudevan 2003, p. 13</ref> A few earlier records give details about the gifts rendered to the singers of ''Tevaram'' from [[Parantaka I]] of the 8th century.<ref name="Vasu">Vasudevan 2003, pp. 109-110</ref> A record belonging to [[Rajendra I]] mentions ''Tevaranayakan'', the supervisor of ''Tevaram'' and shows the institutionalisation of ''Tevaram'' with the establishment of a department.<ref name="Vasu"/> There are records from [[Kulothunga Chola III]] from Nallanyanar temple in South Arcot indicating singing of ''Tiruvempavai'' and ''Tiruvalam'' of Manickavasagar during special occasion in the temple.<ref name="Vasu"/>

===Iconography===
Sambandar's image is found in almost all Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu. He is depicted as a dancing child or a young teen with his right forefinger pointing upwards, reflecting the legend where he credits Parvati-Shiva for what he has. A [[Chola bronze]] of Sambandar with a height of {{convert|52|cm|in|abbr=on}} in standing posture dated to about the 12th century was found in [[Velankanni]] in [[Nagapattinam district]]. He is sported with ''catura'' posture with his feat on Padmasana and he is sported with jewels around his neck. Another image found in [[Indalur|Tiruindalur]] in dancing posture with a height of {{convert|52|cm|in|abbr=on}} dated 1150 has Sambandar sported with his right feet over a pedestal. Both the bronze images are stored in the Bronze gallery in [[Government Museum, Chennai]].<ref name=arch>{{cite report|title=An exhibition on Chola bronzes - 1000th anniversary of Thanjavur Big temple celebration|editor-last=T.S.|editor-first=Dr. Sridhar|url=https://www.tnarch.gov.in/Library%20BOOk%20PDF/Chola%20Bronzes.pdf|publisher=Department of Archaeology & Government Museum|location=Chennai|year=2011|page=45}}</ref>

==Compositions and legacy==
Sambandar is the first poet-saint featured in the ''Tirumurai'', the canonical works of Tamil Shaiva Siddhanta. His compositions grace Volume I, II and III of the twelve-volume compilation. He has been highly influential on Tamil Shaivism.<ref name="Dehejia 1987 pp. 53–61"/> His ideas and emotional devotion to Shiva are shared by other Nayanars and the Shaiva community they help organize. He is lucid in explaining the link between the Vedic tradition and the temple tradition. According to Cort, Sambandar clearly explains this through his hymn praising the power of the ''namah sivaya'' mantra:<ref name="Cort175">[[#Cort|Cort 1998]], pp. 175–176</ref>

<poem>
It guides to the good path,
all those who melt with love,
and flow with tears as they chant it.
It is the essence of the four Vedas,
Chant our Lord's name,
say, 'Hail Siva!"
– Translated by John Cort<ref name="Cort175"/></poem>

This is part of the refrain found in the Vedic teaching called the ''Śatarudrīya saṁhita'', states Cort, the foundation that transmutes that Vedic tradition into the Agamic ritual tradition of Shaiva Siddhanta. Sambandar and other Nayanars help shift the focus from celebrating the Vedic canonical text into a "magical connection with Siva" whereby every devotee can have a personal, direct connection to Shiva and the essence of Shiva within him or her. It helps shift the spiritual experience from being channeled through Brahmin priests to being channeled through a direct loving connection with one's own Shiva. In effect, states Cort, "the essence of the Veda" displaces the Vedic text itself through the tradition pioneered by Sambandar, Appar and Sundarar.<ref name="Cort175"/>

===Temple services===
[[File:Sambandar.jpg|thumb|Sambandar (Wooden Image), [[Archaeological Survey of India|ASI]] Museum, Vellore]]
The pilgrimage to temples, associated devotional singing with music, and other rituals started by Sambandar have thrived over the centuries. In contemporary Tamil Shiva temples, ''Odhuvars'', ''Sthanikars'', or ''Kattalaiyars'' offer musical programmes in Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu by singing ''Tevaram'' after the daily rituals.<ref>Ghose 1996, p. 239</ref> These are usually carried out as chorus programmes soon after the divine offering. The singing of Tevaram was followed by musicals from the music pillars in such temples like [[Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple]], [[Nellaiappar Temple]] and [[Suchindram]].<ref>Bhargava 2006, p. 467</ref>

''Periya Puranam'', the eleventh-century Tamil book on the Nayanars that forms the last volume of the ''Tirumurai'' primarily had references only to ''Tevaram'' and subsequently expanded to 12 parts and is one of the first anthologies of ''Tirumurai''.<ref name="pre140">[[#Prentiss|Prentiss 1992]], p. 140</ref> One of the first anthologies of ''moovars'' hymns called the ''Tevara Arulmuraitirattu'' is linked to Tamil Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy by grouping ninety-nine verses into 10 categories.<ref name="pre140"/> The category headings are God, soul, bond, grace, divine initiation, methodology, enlightenment, bliss, mantra and liberation - correspond to Umapthi's work, ''Tiruvarutpayan''.<ref name="pre144"/> ''Tirumurai kanda puranam'' is another anthology for ''Tirumurai'' as a whole, but primarily focuses on ''Tevaram''. It is the first of the works to refer to the collection of volumes as ''Tirumurai''.<ref name="pre144">[[#Prentiss|Prentiss 1992]], p. 144</ref>

===Tamil Shaiva ethos===
The hymns of Sambandar include criticism and allegations of persecution of the Shaiva community by Jain monks, along with a "bitter anti-Jain polemic".<ref name="Cort213">[[#Cort|Cort 1998]], p. 213</ref> Sambandar critiques the duplicity he sees.<ref name="Das">Das 2005, p.32</ref> The early studies of this Jain-Hindu interaction, as seen in Sambandar hymns and other early Shaiva literature, is one where Jainism is inferred as the heterodox popular religion followed by a revival and triumph of Shaiva Hinduism. The situation was likely more complicated and driven by historical developments and context. The Buddhists denied the "existence of soul", states Nilakanta Sastri, while the Jains recommended "asceticism and suffering" – a period in Tamil culture where such "pessimism" must have been the ethos.<ref name="Cort175213"/>

Shaivism retooled its Vedic roots and transmuted the Vedic ritual into a personalized temple bhakti ritual. Thus, the Shaiva poet-saints such as Sambandar and Appar emerged with an optimistic, cheerful celebration of Shiva, soul and life with music and songs. This may have represented a change to the earlier ethos of Tamil society. This evolution is embedded in the mythohistory of Shaiva legends, which accuse Jain monks of scheming and torturing Sambandar, Appar and others, followed by a reversal. These legends, states Richard Davis, are better studied as symbolic conflict of ideas, a competition for patronage and transformation of Tamil social ethos through a Brahmin-peasant alliance.<ref name="Cort175213"/> The Shaiva literature and songs characterize Jain monks and their ascetic lifestyle as false doctrines with no emotional or spiritual value in this or the next life. They offer a new vision to the Tamil society and culture where devotion to Shiva temple, community and loving engagement to life is the path to liberation.<ref name="Cort175213">[[#Cort|Cort 1998]], pp. 175–176, 213–217</ref>

==Translation of Sambandar hymns==
Francis Kingsbury and Godfrey Phillips selected and translated 24 out of 383 of Sambandar's hymns into English in 1921. These were published with a small collection of Appar and Sundarar hymns in a book titled ''Hymns of the Tamil Śaivite Saints'', released by the Oxford University Press. They stated that these were some of the hymns from ''Devaram'' (Tevaram) that they could hear being chanted in South Indian Shiva temples of their times.<ref name="Saivite">{{cite book |last1=Kingsbury |first1=F |url=http://www.ibiblio.org/guruguha/MusicResearchLibrary/Books-English/BkE-KingsburyF&PhillipsGE-Hymns-of-Tamil-Saivite-Saints-1921-0103.pdf |title=Hymns of the Tamil Śaivite Saints (1921) |date=1921 |publisher=Oxford University Press |pages=24–68 |access-date=8 July 2014}}</ref>

Indira Peterson has published a more recent translation of many of Sambandar's hymns.{{sfn|Peterson|1989}}

As an example of this devotional ethos, the first recorded verse by ''Tiruñāṉacampantar'' — traditionally believed to have been sung at age three after receiving divine milk from the goddess Parvati — describes Lord Shiva's awe-inspiring attributes and his dwelling at Piramapuram:<ref name="Saivite" />{{Blockquote|text=தோடுடைய செவியன் விடையேறியோர் தூவெண் {{Figure space}}மதிசூடிக் காடுடைய சுடலைப் பொடிபூசி யென்னுள்ளங்கவர் {{Figure space}}கள்வ னேடுடைய மலரான் முனநாள் பணிந்தேந்த்தவருள் {{Figure space}}செய்த பீடுடைய பிரமா புரமேவிய பெம்மானிவனன்றே.

He is the exalted Lord who dwells in the glorious Piramapuram.|source=Tevāram I.1.1, Translated by Francis Kingsbury and Godfrey Phillips|author=Thirugnanasambandar}}

==Stories==
Tales of his exploits are narrated in West Bengal and Bangladesh to this day in numerous short stories. Their origin may be traced to local oral cultures of humour. The stories are popular and humorous, often ridiculing figures of authority, including the king, Krishnachandra, himself. Many of his stories depict him coming up with inventive and clever answers to satisfy the whimsical requests of royal personages, such as the Maharaja and the Rani. In some stories, Raja Krishnachandra asks him to complete certain tasks specifically to test his intelligence, or to embarrass him in public. Gopal Bhar always rebuffs the attempt successfully. The application of humour never crosses over to the realm of direct disrespect, but manages to point out the weakness in the opponent's argument or conviction. As such, his stories are comparable with those of [[Birbal]], [[Tenali Raman]], [[Gonu Jha]] and [[Nasreddin]].{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}

==Historicity==
There exists widespread debate over the historicity of the figure "Gopal Bhar". Gopal Bhar's name was not mentioned in [[Bengali literature]] before 19th century.<ref name="bpedia" /> A 1926 book ''Nabadwip-Kahini'' ({{lit|The Nabadwip Tales}}) written by Nagendranath Das, a self-claimed descendent of Gopal Bhar, mentions Gopal's summarized biography. According to the book, Gopal's birth name was Gopalchandra Nai, who came from a ''Napit'' family. He was a ''Bhandar'' (caretaker) of Krishnachandra's court, from where the word ''Bhand'' or ''Bhar'' came. Gopal's father, Dulalchandra Nai, was a ''[[Vaidya]]'' at [[Nawab of Murshidabad|Nawab]] [[Alivardi Khan]]'s court. Gopal's older brother Kalyan Dulal saved Prince (later Nawab) [[Siraj-ud-Daulah]]'s life from severe fever. After hearing about Gopal's intelligence, Raja Krishnachandra appointed him as his court jester. Nagendranath also claimed that there is an oil painting of Gopal at Krishnachandra's palace.<ref name="ittefaq" /><ref name="risingbd">{{cite web|title=গোপাল ভাঁড় কাল্পনিক চরিত্র নাকি সত্যিই ছিলেন|url=https://www.risingbd.com/feature/news/534107|website=risingbd.com}}</ref><ref name="eisamay" />

No reference for Gopal can be found in the writings of Bharatchandra Raigunakar and [[Ramprasad Sen]], both of whom were court poets in Raja Krishnachandra's court.<ref name="risingbd" /> According to ''[[Banglapedia]]'', there was a person named Shankar Taranga, who is known to have been a bodyguard of Raja Krishnachandra and whom the raja regarded highly because of his wisdom and courage.<ref name="bpedia" />

Despite the scarcity of evidence, researcher-journalist Sujit Roy supported the historical authenticity of Gopal Bhar, claiming that many documents about him had lost, destroyed or looted.<ref name="eisamay">{{cite web|title=ভোটবঙ্গে আচমকা সুপারহিট! গোপাল ভাঁড় কি কাল্পনিকই?|url=https://eisamay.com/west-bengal-news/krishna-nagar/is-gopal-bhar-real-detailed-discussion-as-his-name-is-taken-many-time-during-election-days/108889505.cms|website=[[Ei Samay]]|date=30 March 2024}}</ref> Prominent Bengali linguist [[Sukumar Sen (linguist)|Sukumar Sen]] opined:<ref name="ittefaq">{{cite web|url=http://www.ittefaq.com.bd/print-edition/kachikachar-asor/2016/05/13/119303.html|title=গোপাল ভাঁড়ের খোঁজে|trans-title=In the search of Gopal Bhar|first=Shoeb|last=Sorbonam|date=13 May 2016|website=[[The Daily Ittefaq|Ittefaq]]}}</ref><ref name="risingbd" /> {{blockquote|"The curiosity for Gopal Bhar among the modern [[Bengalis]] has given rise to a national tradition of folklore about this real or fictional person, and the seed of its arousal is the ''Bhar'' part of his name, by which many have identified the caste of Gopal considering the ''Bhar'' of Gopal Bhar to be a variant of the [[Sanskrit]] word ''Bhandar''. Whatever the arguments for and against, Gopal Bhar remains ingrained in Bengali humour and folk culture."}}

==Politics==
On 20 February 2024, after [[2024 Bangladeshi general election]], [[Gono Odhikar Parishad]] leader [[Nurul Haq Nur]], criticising [[Sheikh Hasina]], claimed that the [[Jatiya Sangsad|Sangsad]] had turned into the "club of Gopal Bhar" where parliamentarians' work is to "entertain the king".<ref>{{cite web|title=বর্তমান সংসদ গোপাল ভাঁড়ের ক্লাবে পরিণত হয়েছে: নূর|url=https://www.dhakapost.com/politics/260836|date=20 February 2025|website=Dhaka Post}}</ref>

During [[2024 Indian general election]] campaign, [[Trinamool Congress]] supporters, including the West Bengal government minister Ujjwal Roy, slammed [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] MP candidate from Krishnanagar Amrita Roy, who is the titular queen of Krishnanagar, accusing her ancestor Raja Krishnachandra Roy for the death of Gopal Bhar.

=== 1942{{En dash}}1950: Directorial debut and breakthrough ===

==== ''Bhakta Pothana'' (1943) ====
While working as a production manager at Vauhini, K. V. Reddy prepared the script for a film based on the life of 15th century Telugu poet [[Pothana]].{{Sfn|Pulagam Chinnarayana|2019|p=38}} Though it was opposed by various people in the company for K. V. Reddy's lack of directorial experience, Narayana Swamy greenlit the project. The film was titled ''[[Bhakta Potana|Bhakta Pothana]]'' and featured [[V. Nagayya]] in the [[Title character|title role]]''.<ref name=":3" />'' Kamalakara Kameswara Rao assisted him as was previously agreed upon.<ref name="ఫన్ డేలో కె.వి. గురించి సింగీతం2" /> The production of the film was interrupted by the [[World War II|second world war]]. But ''Bhakta Pothana'' completed its production and was finally released on 7 January 1943. The film was successful all over [[South India]] including [[Mysore state]] and [[Kerala]].<ref>Bhaktha Potana (1943), M. L.

After the huge success of ''Bhakta Pothana'', Narayana Swamy who had interests in other business ventures focused on film production. He made a proposal to the board to confine Vauhini Pictures to [[film distribution]] and start Vauhini Productions for film production. The proposal was approved, and Narayana Swamy invested {{Indian Rupee}}2 [[lakh]] out of the total capital of {{Indian Rupee}}2.5 lakh. Rest of the {{Indian Rupee}}50,000 was provided by the family of B. N. Reddy and K. V. Reddy.<ref name=":8" /> Thus, K. V. Reddy became a partner in Vauhini Productions. It was decided that B. N. Reddy and K. V. Reddy would alternately direct films for the production house.<ref name=":21" /> When Vauhini Productions made ''[[Swarga Seema|Swargaseema]]'' (1945) as its first production under the direction of B. N. Reddy, K. V. Reddy worked as a production manager for the film.<ref name=":21" /> Though the film faced troubles due to the shortage of [[film stock]] due to the world war, it became successful.{{Sfn|D. V.

==== ''Yogi Vemana'' (1947) ====
While working on ''Swargaseema'', K. V. Reddy started preparing the script for his next directorial venture. Along with [[Samudrala Sr.]], he gathered information on [[Vemana]] from historical and folklore sources and prepared the script for ''[[Yogi Vemana (film)|Yogi Vemana]]'' (1947). K. V. Reddy collaborated once again with Nagayya who played the lead role.<ref name=":4" /> The film was critically acclaimed but underperformed commercially.<ref name="జగదేక దర్శకుడు" /> [[Ashish Rajadhyaksha]] and [[Paul Willemen]] in ''Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema'' note, "''Bhakta Pothana'' and ''Yogi Vemana'', contributed to Chittor V Nagaiah’s image as South Indian cinema’s most famous actor in the saint film genre".<ref name=":9" />

Around the same time, Vauhini Productions' films were getting delayed due to lack of studio facilities.

==== ''Gunasundari Katha'' (1949) ====
K. V. Reddy wanted to make a film that was distinct from his previous films and any of the films produced till then by Vauhini. He chose [[William Shakespeare]]'s play ''[[King Lear]]'' as the inspiration for the core plot.<ref name=":13" /> But K. V. Reddy and his writers [[Pingali (writer)|Pingali]] and [[Kamalakara Kameswara Rao]] changed the tone from the [[tragedy]] of ''King Lear'' to a more entertaining one for the film.

As the film is shot as a bilingual, production lasted for a whole year starting from 5 February 1950 until 8 February 1951.

The Telugu version of ''Pathala Bhairavi'' was released on 15 March 1951, and the Tamil version on 17 May 1951. Both versions were commercially successful.

[[File:Pedda Manushulu movie poster 1.jpg|alt=|left|thumb|197x197px|''Pedda Manushulu'' poster]]
After the success of ''Pathala Bhairavi'', [[Nagi Reddi]] asked K. V. Reddy to make another fantasy film for Vijaya Productions.{{Sfn|D. V. Narasaraju|2004|p=19}} But, after directing two historical films (''Bhakta Pothana, Yogi Vemana'') and two fantasy films (''Gunasundari Katha, Pathala Bhairavi'' ), K. V. Reddy wanted to make a [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] this time. As B. N. Reddy and K. V. Reddy previously agreed to alternately direct films for Vauhini, K. V.

K. V. Reddy was interested in [[western literature]] and films. ''[[The Pillars of Society]],'' a 1877 play by famous Norwegian [[playwright]] [[Henrik Ibsen]] attracted him.<ref name=":13" /> He wanted to direct a film based on the play. He collaborated with [[D. V. Narasa Raju|D. V. Narasaraju]] and D. B. G. Tilak and prepared the script.{{Sfn|D. V.

== Reception ==

=== Critical response ===
Abhilasha Cherukuri of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' in her review stated "Puli Meka leaves people with an exciting cliffhanger in the end, and the series will continue to have a winning run as long as it keeps its stakes high and twists sharp."<ref name=":0" />

Kota Saumya of ''[[Telangana Today]]'' stated "Suspenseful thrillers rely heavily on the music to create an exciting vibe but the music by Praveen Lakkaraju is nothing noteworthy. However, as far as weekend watching goes, ‘Puli Meka’ is a good bet."<ref name=":1" />

Neeshita Nyayapati at ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote "Puli Meka is an eight-episode-long series that gets off on a shaky start and finds its footing as it progresses, but it's not enough."<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |title=Puli Meka Season 1 Review : Lavanya Tripathi shines in this series that's slow to take off |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/telugu/puli-meka/season-1/seasonreview/98156599.cms |access-date=2023-02-27 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>
