'''Sahiyo''' is a [[non-governmental organization]] founded in 2015, to advocate for girls' and women's rights and oppose the practice of [[female genital mutilation]] (FGM) in Asian communities, with a focus on the [[Dawoodi Bohra]] community in India.

==History==
Sahiyo (the Bohra Gujarati word for 'saheliyo,' or friends) was founded in 2014 by five women: Mariya Taher, Aarefa Johari, Priya Goswami, Insia Dariwala, and Shaheeda Tavawalla-Kirtane, who strongly opposed the ritual of 'khatna' or female genital cutting (FGC) in the Dawoodi Bohra community.<ref name="story"/> Sahiyo partnered with national and international NGOs such as German-Iraqi NGO Wadi, WeSpeakOut, Orchid Project, Tostan, and Breakthrough.<ref name="story">{{cite web | url=https://sahiyo.org/about/our-story.html | title=About Saiyo - United Against Female Genital Cutting }}</ref> In December 2015, the organization was officially established.<ref name="story"/>

In 2017, Sahiyo produced a report of female circumcision being practiced in the Dawoodi Bohra community, as well as by other Muslim sects. In November of the same year, Sahiyo attended the European Forum to Build Bridges on FGM to encourage transnational cross-border cooperation on opposing FGC globally.

From 19 to 21 January 2018, Sahiyo hosted the first annual U.S. Dawoodi Bohra Anti-Female Genital Cutting Activist Retreat in the United States and India.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sahiyo.com/2018/02/08/shifting-terrains-lessons-learnt-from-the-first-u-s-activists-retreat-for-bohras-against-female-genital-cutting/|title=Shifting terrains: Lessons learned from the first U.S. Activists Retreat for Bohras against Female Genital Cutting|website=Sahiyo.com|date=8 February 2018}}</ref> Its purpose was to allow activists to share their experiences and build solidarity.

He was the son of Syed Hamidullah and Musammat Habiba Bibi. His maternal grandfather Maulvi Abul Kashem was once a very close colleague of [[Suren Banerjee]]. He was a pioneer of the anti-partition movement and even one of the top leaders of undivided Bangladesh. Another maternal grandfather of Shahedullah, Maulvi Abul Hayat, was a leader of the [[Khilafat Movement]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://marxbadipath.org/article/Syed-Shahedullah/148|website=Marxbadi Path|author=[[Mahboob Zahedi|Zahedi, Mahboob]]|title=কমরেড সৈয়দ শাহেদুল্লাহ্ স্মরণে|trans-title=In memory of Comrade Syed Shahedullah|language=bn}}</ref>

==Career==
In 1931, he worked as a volunteer at the Burdwan District Congress Conference. Later, he became a believer in communism. In 1935, the first district committee of the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] in undivided Bangladesh was formed in Burdwan. He was elected as the first secretary of this committee and served in this position for three years. Along with the work of forming the party, he also organized the farmers' movement in the district. He was associated with the farmers' movement for more than fifty years. In 1939, he was one of the leaders of the historic canal tax resistance movement in Burdwan district. In 1948, he served as the secretary of the provincial farmers' meeting. In the same year, when the party was declared illegal, he went into hiding. In 1963-64, he was imprisoned during the Sino-Indian conflict. He became a member of the State Council of the Undivided Communist Party and a member of the CPI (M) State Committee in 1968. From then until 1988, he was a member of the State Committee of the party. He was elected to the [[British Bengal Legislative Council|Bengal Legislative Council]] in 1957, to the Burdwan Municipality in 1964, to the [[West Bengal Legislative Assembly]] from [[Bardhaman Uttar Assembly constituency]] in 1967,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latestly.com/elections/assembly-elections/west-bengal/1982/bhatar/|title=Bhatar, 1982|website=Latestly|access-date=9 May 2024}}</ref> and to the [[Rajya Sabha]] in 1978. He was famous as an essayist. In 1937, the magazine 'Comrade' was published on his initiative. For a long time, he was the editor of the magazine 'Nandan'. His books include 'Gandhism in the Eyes of Leninists', 'Education and Class Relations', 'Matribhasha and Literature', 'Various Topics' etc.

The teams are divided into two categories: one named the Elite category, which has 32 teams split into four groups, and one called the Plate category, which has 6 teams in one group. The Elite category teams play each other once, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. In the Plate Group, teams also play each other once, but the top four teams qualify for the plate group knockouts, with the bottom two teams playing for the fifth and sixth positions, and another playoff for the third and fourth positions with the semi-final losers. The Plate winner will be promoted to the Elite group for the next season, 2025–26, while the bottom team of all four Elite groups combined, factoring in both points and the quotient, will be relegated to the Plate group.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/bcci-make-big-change-to-ranji-trophy-format-for-2025-26-season-8668389 |title=BCCI Make Big Change To Ranji Trophy Format For 2025-26 Season|work=[[NDTV Sports]]|date=14 June 2025|access-date=29 August 2025}}</ref>

== Plot ==
Murugan lives in Puliyoor, a small forest village that is vulnerable to man-eating [[Bengal tiger|Royal Bengal Tigers]] and frequent [[human–wildlife conflict]]s. When he was young, Murugan's mother died after his brother Manikuttan was born. Soon after, his father was killed by a tiger; in vengeance, Murugan traps and kills the tiger with the help of his uncle Balaraman. Years later, Murugan is a truck driver, who lives with his wife Myna, and has a daughter, Chakki. He hunts and kills rogue tigers whenever they invade the village. Acknowledging his skills in hunting tigers, the villagers call him ''Pulimurugan'' (tiger Murugan). Murugan is grateful to the villagers who cared for him after his parents's deaths, and is obsessively protective of Manikuttan, who is about to finish his [[Master of Business Administration|MBA]] graduation in [[Mangalore]].

One day, Kadutha, the village chief, meets a hooded stranger who asks the whereabouts of Murugan for a hunting assignment. Murugan has been away from Puliyoor for days and many people have been killed by the tigers. According to Kadutha, Manikuttan's friends Benny and Shiva had arrived at Puliyoor, sent by Manikuttan to see Balaraman. Shiva's father Daddy Girija owned a pharmaceutical company which was developing a drug to treat cancer and they need ''ganja'' ([[Cannabis (drug)|cannabis]]) from the forest. When the medical research succeeds, Manikuttan will be offered a job in the company, so Balaraman helps them. They made a contract with Ramaiya, an illegal ''ganja'' dealer in the forest; on their return to the village they encounter a tiger but were saved by Murugan, who kills it.

Meanwhile, Manikuttan returned home after his final examinations. The forest officials have found the dead tiger's carcass at Thookupara; its killing is a violation of the [[Wildlife Protection Act, 1972|Indian Wildlife Protection Act]], a non-bailable offence. [[Forest range officer|Forest ranger]] R. K. was assigned to investigate; R.K. has a four-year-old grudge against Murugan, when he had once tried to molest Myna, only to be threatened by Murugan. Taking advantage on the present scenario, R.K. prepared to file a self-witness [[First Information Report|F. I. R.]] against Murugan, who was forced to hide. Meanwhile, [[Assistant Commissioner of Police|DSP]] Iyep Zachariah arrived at Puliyoor, apparently for Murugan. The ''ganja'' was loaded into Murugan's lorry for transporting to Mangalore.

Shiva and Benny hear that a confidant of Ramaiya was in police custody. Seeing a possibility of leaking the information, they are forced to transport it overnight. Shiva offered Murugan sanctuary in [[Kasaragod]] under Daddy's protection and deceived him that the police are in pursuit to arrest him for the tiger killing. A team led by Zachariya arrived at Murugan's home. Murugan with his family escaped to Mangalore in the transport and managed to escape the cops. He delivered the ''ganja'' and Manikuttan's job had been approved. Murugan impressed Daddy and earned his trust by helping in his business activities. Meanwhile, more people are killed by tigers at Puliyoor. In an encounter with Zachariya, Murugan learnt that Daddy was illegally producing [[hash oil]] and exporting it under cover of the pharmacy where Manikuttan was working.

Manikuttan co-operated with the cops to capture Daddy. Shiva caught Manikuttan extracting evidence of their activities and tortured him. Murugan rescued Manikuttan; in the ensuing fight, Shiva was accidentally killed by Murugan. The cops ambushed Daddy but he escaped. After narrating the events, the hooded stranger is revealed to be Daddy, who is seeking revenge for Shiva's death. Daddy assembles a group of assassins and ambushes Balaraman and Poongayi Sasi, where they take Balaraman and send Sasi back with severe injuries. Murugan returns home and learns about the events, where he heads to kill Daddy. A fight with the assassins ensues where Murugan kills them all, but gets attacked by Daddy. A fight ensues where Murugan saves Balaram from the tiger's den and defeats Daddy. Daddy gets killed and eaten by the tiger, when Murugan rescues Balaram and gets out of that den.

=== Development ===
A week after the release of [[Vysakh]]'s directorial debut film ''[[Pokkiri Raja (2010 film)|Pokkiri Raja]]'' in 2010, its producer Tomichan Mulakuppadam talked with Vysakh for a future collaboration with [[Mohanlal]] in the lead role, who had already agreed to do a film with Vysakh before he debuted with ''Pokkiri Raja''.<ref name="hunter">{{cite news|last=Nagarajan|first=Saraswathy|title=The hunter|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/director-vyshakh-on-the-making-of-mohanlalstarrer-pulimurugan/article9192819.ece|access-date=2 November 2016|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=6 October 2016|archive-date=1 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701202102/https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/The-hunter/article15472343.ece|url-status=live}}</ref> The project was [[Green-light#Film industry|green-lit]], but did not progress into a planning stage. ''Pokkiri Raja'' co-writer Udaykrishna was hired as a writer. Despite further discussions regarding the project, no progress occurred until 2014.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/>

''Pulimurugan'' was conceived by Udayakrishna, who developed the story idea from stories he heard during his childhood in eastern [[Ernakulam District]]. The stories presented the lives of people in [[Pooyamkutty]], a small forest-area village where the villagers often had to fight with wild animals for living. At the time, Udayakrishna hinted about the character to Mohanlal, who showed interest.<ref name="udaya">{{cite news|last=പുന്നവേലി|first=ജോ ജോസഫ്|title=പുലിമുരുകൻ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കാൻ മോഹൻലാലിനെ ഉപദേശിച്ചവരുണ്ട്|trans-title=There Were People Who Advised Mohanlal To Drop Pulimurugan|url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/exclusives/uday-krishna-about-pulimurugan-story.html|access-date=14 October 2016|work=[[Malayala Manorama]]|date=14 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161015161626/http://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/exclusives/uday-krishna-about-pulimurugan-story.html|archive-date=15 October 2016|language=ml|url-status=live}}</ref> It is the first independent work by Udayakrishna after his split from the duo [[Udayakrishna-Siby K.

The initial development of the project began in late December 2014, few days after the release of Vysakh's ''[[Cousins (2014 film)|Cousins]]''. Udayakrishna told Vysakh the plot about a jungle village which is frequently attacked by wild animals and a hunter who takes revenge on the animal. Vysakh decided it would be his next film.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/> Together they developed the story; they were aware of the large funding required to realise the film.<ref name="udaya"/> When they told the story to Mulakupadam, Vysakh asked him to wait a month. In meantime, Vysakh and Udayakrishna started researching for the film to get an understanding about the subject. A month later, they met Mulakuppadam, saying the film could not be started with a fixed budget, filming schedule or a release date, to which Mulakuppadam agreed. They next met Mohanlal, who already knew the plot idea from Udayakrishna. They told him the opening 15 minutes in much detail; he was impressed but was skeptical about the feasibility of it. Vysakh was also skeptical about shooting some of the sequences. Mohanlal was also asked to give no deadlines in terms of his dates, schedule or release; Mohanlal said he is ready to do it anytime they wanted.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം">{{cite news|last=മാത്യു|first=ടോണി|title=പുലിമുരുകൻ എന്ന മഹാദൗത്യം; വൈശാഖ് പറയുന്നു|trans-title=A Great Task Called Pulimurugan; Vysakh Talks|url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/exclusives/vysakh-reveals-challenges-behind-the-movie-pulimurugan.html|access-date=4 November 2016|work=[[Malayala Manorama]]|date=8 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161011082008/http://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/exclusives/vysakh-reveals-challenges-behind-the-movie-pulimurugan.html|archive-date=11 October 2016|language=ml|url-status=live}}</ref>

To write a detailed screenplay, Vysakh and Udayakrishna stayed in a small house in [[Kerala]] for around three months. They travelled to get ideas about picturing the written scenes and prepared [[storyboard]]s for the screenplay. They could not find any references for the man-animal fight scenes, so they consulted graphic experts to [[previsualization|visualise]] the scenes.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/> Mohanlal suggested engaging Thai fight-master ''Kecha'', who is familiar with choreographing stunts with animals, to choreograph the film's stunts.<ref name="udaya"/><ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/> Kecha asked for four years' time, which they could not afford, so they signed [[Peter Hein]].<ref name="udaya"/> Hein, who had not done man-animal fights before, took his preparation time for the film.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/> The makers travelled to locations in South Africa and Vietnam to study tigers, their behaviour and how to tame them for filming. A one-week fight-training camp was conducted for Mohanlal in Vietnam, but the camp was dismissed after the first day after Hein was impressed with Mohanlal's action skills.<ref name="മഹാദൗത്യം"/>

=== Critical response ===
Upon release, ''Pulimurugan'' mainly received mixed reviews from critics. While the film's cast performances, action sequences, tiger scenes and music received praise, the script and pacing of the film received criticism.

Awarding the film 3.5 on a scale of 5, Nelson K. Paul from ''[[Malayala Manorama]]'' wrote; "The narrative is straight and tight. Most importantly, the movie is engaging throughout and doesn't slip off. Though it's an action thriller primarily. Vysakh has all the ingredients laced in for a well-balanced mix. The director has made sure that the elements he put in are there for a reason". He praised Mohanlal's "super flexible in stunt scenes" and his "mighty impressive" efforts, Kumar's cinematography and Hein's "adrenaline-filled action" choreography, with a special mention for the climax fight. He also commended the characterisation of Myna and the onscreen chemistry of Mohanlal and Mukherjee.<ref>{{cite news|last=Paul|first=Nelson K.|title=Mohanlal's 'Pulimurugan' movie review|url=http://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/pulimurugan-mohanlal-movie-review-malayalam-vyshak.html|access-date=18 November 2016|work=[[Malayala Manorama]]|date=11 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161118152829/http://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/pulimurugan-mohanlal-movie-review-malayalam-vyshak.html|archive-date=18 November 2016|url-status=live}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

In his review for ''[[The Indian Express]]'', Manoj Kumar R. rated ''Pulimurugan'' 3.5 stars out of 5. He praised Mohanlal's acting and the "high-voltage" stunts, and called the screenplay "tight and engaging" with Sunder's film score and Kumar's cinematography adding to the film. He wrote; "It is a simple movie that basically aims to entertain the audience. The movie does not dwell too much on the man-animal conflict and discusses what is right or what is wrong". According to him, Vysakh has succeeded in exploiting the stardom of Mohanlal.<ref>{{cite news|last=R.|first=Manoj Kumar|title=Pulimurugan movie review: Don't miss this Mohanlal thriller|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/pulimurugan-movie-review-mohanlal-star-rating-3070900/|access-date=18 November 2016|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=8 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161118153333/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/pulimurugan-movie-review-mohanlal-star-rating-3070900/|archive-date=18 November 2016|url-status=live}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref> ''[[The Times of India]]'' critic Sanjith Sidhardhan rated the film 3.5 on a scale of 5 and wrote that the film's strength is "a fleshed out story and pacy screenplay that takes its protagonist out of the wild and puts him in the world of ruthless men—a scenario where the hunter becomes the prey ... The movie has a good enough story to keep the audience engaged while providing ample thrills through Peter Hein-choreographed fantastic action sequences". He also praised Sunder's "rousing theme music" and the "crisp" editing that made the "161-minute runtime a breeze".<ref>{{cite news|last=Sidhardhan|first=Sanjith|title=Pulimurugan Movie Review|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/Pulimurugan/movie-review/54735114.cms|access-date=18 November 2016|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=7 October 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161118121803/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/Pulimurugan/movie-review/54735114.cms|archive-date=18 November 2016|df=dmy-all}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

In his review for ''[[Rediff.com]]'', Paresh C. Palicha commented; "It is Mohanlal's calibre as an actor that makes this thriller a really thrilling experience. Udaykrishna's writing and Vysakh's direction use him very well, knowing what will work with his fans". He rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5.<ref>{{cite web|last=Palicha|first=Paresh C.|title=Review: Pulimurugan is a thrilling experience|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-pulimurugan-is-a-thrilling-experience/20161012.htm|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=18 November 2016|date=12 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161118155436/http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-pulimurugan-is-a-thrilling-experience/20161012.htm|archive-date=18 November 2016|url-status=live}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref> The reviewer from [[Sify]] gave a positive review, describing it as a "winner all the way" and a "super entertainer", and said; "with breathtaking visuals, top notch performances, superb action sequences and thrilling music, Vysakh has cooked a delicious treat. Though it is a bit too long at two hours and 41 minutes, this one keeps you engaged for sure". Sify noted Hein and Kumar for the stunts and visuals, called the performances of Mohanlal "an absolute delight to watch", and praised other cast members including Lal, Babu, Venjaramoodu, Kishore, and Ajas. Sify concluded that "''Pulimurugan'' wins with the hard work that has gone into its making. It's the kind of masala that is superbly enjoyable and then there is Mohanlal in terrific form."<ref>{{cite web|author=Moviebuzz|title=Pulimurugan review: A winner all the way|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/pulimurugan-review-a-winner-all-the-way-review--qkhnRVibjchce.html|website=[[Sify]]|access-date=9 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009172345/http://www.sify.com/movies/pulimurugan-review-a-winner-all-the-way-review--qkhnRVibjchce.html|archive-date=9 October 2016|date=7 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Krishna B. Nair of ''Metromatinee'' wrote a positive review, calling it a "visual extravaganza plus an edge-of-the-seat experience!", and said, "''Pulimurugan'' has a very impressive first half, not so fast paced yet thrilling second half and an absolutely stunning climax". She praised Mohanal's "dedication for the intense stunt sequences" and his combination scenes with Mukherji, who is "equally aggressive and adventurous" as Mukherji. James also praised Sundar's film score, Kumar's cinematography, the VFX work, and Hein for introducing "high-voltage ... whole new action sequences to the Malayali audiences", which "struck a chord with the moviegoers".<ref>{{cite web|last=Nair|first=Krishna B.|title=Pulimurugan - Movie Review|url=http://metromatinee.com/news/pulimurugan-movie-review|publisher=Metromatinee.com|access-date=9 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009170204/http://metromatinee.com/news/pulimurugan-movie-review|archive-date=9 October 2016|date=7 October 2016|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

[[Anna M. M. Vetticad|Anna M.M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave the film 2 stars out of five, remarking "the combined strength of Lalettan, the tigers, the suspenseful action and the humour when it is not crude is not enough to drown out the loudness and crassness of ''Pulimurugan.'' This one I guess is for the forgiving Mohanlal fan or action enthusiasts who are willing to close their eyes to a lack of refinement and sensitivity."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/pulimurugan-review-the-lord-of-the-jungle-vs-mohanlal-lord-of-mollywood-vs-crassness-3041112.html|title=Pulimurugan review: The Lord of the Jungle vs Mohanlal Lord of Mollywood vs crassness|date=2016-10-08|website=Firstpost|language=en|access-date=2019-10-24|archive-date=24 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024074719/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/pulimurugan-review-the-lord-of-the-jungle-vs-mohanlal-lord-of-mollywood-vs-crassness-3041112.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Reception==
Paresh C Palicha from [[Rediff.com|Rediff]] says that "Dileep. With Chess, he has brought in a seriousness to his brand of filmmaking, the only grouse being that there should [have] been a tighter script to support him. Bhavana, as the love interest, has some significance in the beginning, but it is totally lost by the end of the film. Salim Kumar and Harisree Asokan handle the comic department proficiently. Ashish Vidyarthi, Vijayraghavan, Bheeman Raghu and Babu Raj play typical villains without too much of a fuss"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/2006/jul/10chess.htm|title = Dileep alone saves Chess|date= 10 July 2006|work=Rediff.com}}</ref> Sify.com wrote that "It is an out and out Dileep film. He is there in almost all frames and makes the film work. He has been successful in shedding his comedy image and tries a serious revenge drama. So if you are game to watch a film that?s different from the usual Dileep entertainers, try out Chess. It is a deep, dark tale of revenge, with a unique ending"

All the moves made by the hero are predictable".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/a-tale-of-revenge/article3106931.ece|title=A tale of revenge|newspaper=The Hindu|date=19 July 2006}}</ref>

History of clothing in the Indian subcontinent

'''History of clothing in the Indian subcontinent''' can be traced to the [[Indus Valley civilization|Indus Valley civilisation]](the indus valley civilization was found around 1200 BCE) or earlier. Indians have mainly worn clothing made up of locally grown [[cotton]]. India was one of the first places where cotton was cultivated and used even as early as 2500 BCE during the [[Indus Valley civilization|Harappan]] era. The remnants of the ancient Indian clothing can be found in the figurines discovered from the sites near the [[Indus Valley civilisation]], the rock-cut [[sculpture]]s, the [[cave painting]]s, and human art forms found in temples and monuments. These scriptures view the figures of human wearing clothes which can be wrapped around the body. Taking the instances of the [[sari]], the [[bandana]], to that of the [[turban]] and the [[dhoti]]; the traditional Indian wears were mostly tied around the body in various ways.

==Indus Valley Civilisation period ==
Evidence for [[textile]]s in [[Indus Valley civilisation]] are not available from preserved textiles but from impressions made into [[clay]] and from preserved [[Inlay|pseudomorphs]]. The only evidence found for clothing is from [[iconography]] and some unearthed Harappan figurines which are usually unclothed.<ref name="Keay, John 2000">Keay, John, India, a History. New York: Grove Press, 2000.</ref> These little depictions show that usually men wore a long cloth wrapped over their waist and fastened it at the back (just like a close clinging dhoti). A turban was worn in some communities as shown by some of the male figurines. Evidence also shows that there was a tradition of wearing a long robe over the left shoulder in higher class society to show their opulence. The normal attire of the women at that time was a skirt up to knee length, leaving the waist bare. Headdresses were also worn by the women.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=kenoyer|first1=j.m.|title=Ornament Styles of the Indus Valley Tradition : Evidence from Recent Excavations at Harappa, Pakistan|journal=Paléorient|volume=17|issue=17–2|pages=79–98|doi=10.3406/paleo.1991.4553|year=1991}}</ref> Women also wore long skirt, stitched tight tunic on their upper body and trousers as well. Inferences from mother goddess statue from [[Delhi National Museum]] suggests female wearing a short [[tunic]] with a short skirt and trousers.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Standing figure of the Mother Goddess C. 2700-2100 B.C.|url=http://nationalmuseumindia.gov.in/prodCollections.asp?pid=34&id=1&lk=dp1|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516214118/http://nationalmuseumindia.gov.in/prodCollections.asp?pid=34&id=1&lk=dp1|archive-date=2013-05-16|access-date=|website=}}</ref> There also evidences of men wearing trousers, conical gown/tunic with an upper waist band.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.harappa.com/sites/default/files/pdf/Spiked-Throne.pdf|title=Lady of the spiked throne|website=www.harappa.com|access-date=2018-12-08}}</ref> The mother goddess statues show women also wearing heavy earrings which were also pretty common in the historic period of India and also depict with heavy necklaces with overhanging medallion with holes in them for gemstones. Female statues and terracotta arts and figurines like a dancing girl also depict long hair probably braided and draped in cloth.

[[Fibre]] for clothing generally used were cotton, [[flax]], silk, [[wool]], [[linen]], [[leather]], etc. One fragment of coloured cloth is available in pieces of evidence which are dyed with red madder show that people in Harappan civilisation [[dyed]] their cotton clothes with a range of colours.

Both sexes wore jewellery. The ornaments include necklaces, bracelets, earrings, [[anklet]], rings, bangles, pectorals, etc. which were generally made of gold, silver, copper, stones like [[lapis lazuli]], [[turquoise]], [[amazonite]], [[quartz]], etc. Many of the male figurines also have their hair dressed in various styles like the hair woven into a booty, hair coiled in a ring on the top of the head, beards were usually trimmed. Indus Valley Civilisation men are frequently depicted wearing headbands especially to contain hair bun at the back. People have been shown wearing elaborate headdresses like turban, conical hats, [[pakol]] hats.<ref name=":0" />

Dressing of Indus valley civilisation people show presence of multi-ethnic people of diverse backgrounds for instance people have been depicted wearing Pashtun style pakol hat with a chocker like neck ornament as well as Punjabi style [[Pagri (turban)|pagri]] and Rajasthani style bangles and necklaces and many other styles prominent in neighbouring regions of the Indian subcontinent.

Some scholars, such as [[Jonathan Mark Kenoyer]], have argued that headdress from the royal cemetery of Ur is an import from Indus Valley Civilisation since similar headdresses have been found to have been depicted in many of its ''Mother Goddess'' figurines and actual ones discovered from sites such as [[Kunal, Haryana|Kunal]] and the floral depiction in gold leaves of species native to Indian subcontinent such as ''Dalbergia sissoo'' or pipal, and since no such ornamentation has been shown in Mesopotamian art itself.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Vidale|first=Massimo|title=M.

== Ancient period ==

=== Vedic period ===
The Vedic period was the time duration between 1500 and 500 BCE. The garments worn in the Vedic period mainly included a single cloth wrapped around the whole body and draped over the shoulder. People used to wear the lower garment called ''paridhana'' which was pleated in front and used to tie with a belt called ''mekhala'' and an upper garment called ''[[uttariya]]'' (a covering like a shawl) which they used to remove during summers. "Orthodox males and females usually wore the ''uttariya'' by throwing it over the left shoulder only, in the style called ''upavita''".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ayyar|first1=Sulochana|title=Costumes and Ornaments as Depicted in the Sculptures of Gwalior Museum|date=1987|publisher=Mittal Publications|pages=95–96|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G9eHPXL6UE0C|isbn=9788170990024}}</ref> There was another garment called ''pravara'' that they used to wear in cold weather. This was the general garb of both the sexes, differing only in size of cloth and manner of wearing. Sometimes the poor people wore the lower garment as a [[loincloth]] only, while the wealthy would wear it extending to the feet as a sign of prestige.

In the [[Rig Veda]], mainly three terms were described – ''adhivastra'', ''kurlra'', and ''andpratidhi'' – for garments which correspondingly denote the outer cover (veil), a head-ornament or head-dress (turban), and part of woman's dress. Many pieces of evidence are found for ornaments like ''niska'' or ''rukma'', which were worn in the ear and around the neck; there was a great use of gold beads in necklaces which show that gold was mainly used in jewellery. ''Rajata-hiranya'' ('white gold'), also known as [[silver]], was not in that much of use as no evidence of silver is figured out in the Rig Veda.

In the Atharva Veda, garments began to be made of the inner cover, an outer cover, and a chest-cover. Besides ''kurlra'' and ''andpratidhi'' (which were already mentioned in the Rig Veda), there are other parts, such as ''nivi'', ''vavri'', ''upavasana'', ''kumba'', ''usnlsa'', and ''tirlta'', that also appeared in Atharva Veda, which correspondingly denote underwear, upper garment, veil, and the last three denoting some kinds of head-dress (head-ornament). Also mentioned were ''updnaha'' (footwear) and ''kambala'' (blanket), ''mani'' (jewel) is also mentioned for making ornaments in this Vedic text.

==== Pre-Mauryan era ====
Even though scholars have debated the archaeological evidence from the pre-Mauryan era, a lot of terracotta artifacts by various scholars have been dated to the pre-Mauryan era which shows continuity of the dressing styles leading up to the Mauryan period.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gupta|first=C.

The pre-Mauryan periods have been marked by the continuation of Indus arts and depict elaborate headdresses, conical hats with heavy earring.

===Mauryan period ===
[[File:Indian_-_A_Votive_Figurine_-_Walters_25249_-_Three_Quarter_Left.jpg|right|200px|thumb|upright|The [[Woman statue]]: evidence of stitching, [[Mathura]], 3rd century BCE.]]
During the [[Mauryan dynasty]] (322–185 BC) the earliest evidence of stitched female clothing is available from the statue of a woman (from Mathura, 3rd century BCE). Ladies in the Mauryan Empire often used to wear an embroidered fabric waistband with drum-headed knots at the ends. As an upper garment, people's main garment was uttariya, a long scarf. The difference existed only in the manner of wearing. Sometimes, its one end is thrown over one shoulder and sometimes it is draped over both shoulders.

In textiles, mainly cotton, silk, linen, wool, muslin, etc. are used as fibres. Ornaments latched on to a special place in this era also. Some of the jewellery had their specific names also. Satlari, chaulari, paklari were some of the necklaces.

Men wore Antariya (knee-length, worn in kachcha style with the fluted end tucked in at centre front) and Tunic (one of the earliest depictions of the cut and sewn garment; it has short sleeves and a round neck, full front opening with ties at the neck and waist, and is hip length). A statue of a warrior shows Boots (fitting to the knees cap) and a band (tied at the back over short hair). A broad flat sword with cross straps on the sheath is suspended from the left shoulder.

=== Early classical period ===
Early classical period has ample evidence of dresses worn by ancient Indians in several relief sculptures which depict not only the dressing styles, but also architecture and lifestyle of the period. Buddhist reliefs from Amravathi, Gandhara, Mathura, and many other sites contain carved reliefs from [[Jataka tales]] and exhibit the fashion of the period between the 2nd century BCE to Gupta periods.

=== Gupta period ===
The [[Gupta period]] lasted from 320 CE to 550 CE. Chandragupta I was the founder of this empire. Stitched garments became very popular in this period. Stitched garments became a sign of royalty.

The antariya worn by the women turned into ''gagri'', which has many swirling effects exalted by its many folds. Hence dancers used to wear it a lot. As it is evident from many Ajanta paintings,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Harle|first1=J.C.|title=The Art and Architecture of the Indian Subcontinent|publisher=Yale University Press Pelican History of Art|isbn=978-0300062175|edition=2nd |year=1994|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/artarchitectureo00harl}}</ref> women used to wear only the lower garment in those times, leaving the bust part bare but these depictions may be a stylistic representation of mother goddess cult since Indus Valley Civilisation. Whereas women with stitched upper body garment or tunic have been shown from pre-Mauryan period as early as 400 BCE in a folk art depicted on Pazyryk rattling mirrors.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.laurasianacademy.com/Mirrorscompressed.pdf|title=Pre-Mauryan "Rattle-Mirrors" with Artistic Designs from Scythian Burial Mounds of the Altai Region in the Light of Sanskrit Sources|website=www.laurasianacademy.com|access-date=2018-12-08}}</ref> Ujjain coin from 200 BCE depicts a man wearing [[achkan]]. Depictions from terracotta clay tablets from [[Chandraketugarh]] show women wearing clothes made of [[muslin]]. Various kinds of blouses (cholis) evolved. Some of them had strings attached leaving the back open while others were used to tie from the front side, exposing the midriff.

Clothing in the Gupta period was mainly cut and sewn garments. A long sleeved brocaded [[tunic]] became the main costume for privileged people like the [[nobles]] and [[courtier]]s. The main costume for the king was most often a blue closely woven silk antariya, perhaps with a block printed pattern. In order to tighten the antariya, a plain belt took the position of kayabandh.
Mukatavati (necklace which has a string with pearls), kayura (armband), kundala (earring), kinkini (small anklet with bells), mekhala (pendant hung at the centre, also known as katisutra), nupura (anklet made of beads) were some of the ornaments made of gold, used in that time. There was extensive use of ivory during that period for jewellery and ornaments.

During the Gupta period, men used to have long hair along with beautiful curls and this style was popularly known as gurna kuntala style. In order to decorate their hair, they sometimes put headgear, a band of fabric around their hairs. On the other hand, women used to decorate their hair with luxuriant ringlets or a jewelled band or a chaplet of flowers. They often used to make a bun on the top of the head or sometimes low on the neck, surrounded by flowers or ratnajali (bejewelled net) or muktajala (net of pearls).

== Medieval period ==
From post-Gupta period, there is plentiful evidence of Indian clothing from paintings such as in [[Alchi Monastery|Alchi monastery]], [[Bagan|Bagan temples]], [[Pala Empire|Pala miniature paintings]], [[Jain art|Jain miniature paintings]], [[Ellora Caves|Ellora caves paintings]] and Indian sculptures. Ancient Indians wearing kurta and baggy pants like [[Shalwar kameez|shalwar]] have been depicted in 8-10th century CE ivory sculpture of an elephant chess piece from Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, France.<ref>{{Cite book|title=A Companion to Asian Art and Architecture|last=Flood|first=Finbarr Barry|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|year=2015|isbn=978-1119019534|pages=377–379}}</ref> From the Late medieval period, there are increased evidences of pajamas and shalwar becoming common in Indian attire while unstitched [[dhoti]] keeps its prominence as well.

===Mughal Empire ===
{{main|Mughal clothing}}
[[File:Renaldis muslin woman.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|A woman in [[Bengal region]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]], clad in fine Bengali [[muslin]], 18th century]]
The [[Mughal dynasty]] included luxury clothes that complemented interest in art and poetry. Both men and women were fond of jewellery. Clothing fibres generally included [[muslin]]s of three types: ''Ab-e-Rawan'' (running water), ''Baft Hawa'' (woven air) and ''Shabnam'' (evening dew) and the other fibres were silks, [[velvet]]s and [[brocade]]s. [[Mughal clothing|Mughal royal dresses]] consisted of many parts as listed below. Mughal women wore a large variety of ornaments from head to toe.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Dey|first1=Sumita|title=Fashion, Attire and Mughal women: A story behind the purdha|url=https://www.thecho.in/files/sumita-dy.pdf}}</ref> Their costumes generally included [[Pajama]], [[Churidar]], [[Shalwar]], [[Garara]] and the [[Farshi]], they all included head ornaments, anklets, and necklaces. This was done as a distinctive mark of their prosperity and their rank in society.

During the Mughal period, there was an extensive
tradition of wearing embroidered footwear, with ornamented leather and decorated with the art of [[Aughi]]. Lucknow footwear was generally favoured by nobles and kings.

===Rajputs ===
[[File:RajaRaviVarma MaharanaPratap.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Maharana Pratap]] with Rajput-style clothing]]
[[Rajputs]] emerged in the 7th and 8th century as a community of Ancient Kshatriya people. Rajputs followed a traditional lifestyle for living which shows their martial spirit, ethnicity, and chivalric grandeur.

==== Men ====
Rajput's main costumes were the aristocratic dresses (court-dress) which includes angarkhi, pagdi, chudidar pyjama and a cummerbund (belt). Angarkhi (short jacket) is long upper part of garments which they used to wear over a sleeveless close-fitting cloth. Nobles of Ahirs generally attired themselves in the Jama, [[Shervani]] as an upper garment and Salvar, Churidar-Pyjama (a pair of shaped trousers) as lower garments. The Dhoti was also in tradition in that time but styles were different to wear it. Tevata style of dhoti was prominent in the desert region and Tilangi style in the other regions. [[Ahir]] style dhoti were give royal look .

==== Women ====
"To capture the sensuality of the female figures in Rajput paintings, women were depicted wearing transparent fabrics draped around their bodies".<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Abbasi|first1=Sana Mahmoud|title=A Comparison Study between Rajput & Mughal Indian Miniature Paintings|volume=2|issue=2|pages=3|url=http://theglobaljournals.com/paripex/file.php?val=February_2013_1360931373_80d34_51.pdf}}</ref> Rajput women's main attire was the Sari (wrapped over whole body and one of the ends thrown on the right shoulder) or Lengha related with the Rajasthani traditional dress. On the occasion (marriage) women preferred [[Angia (garment)|Angia]]. After marriage of Kanchli, Kurti, and angia were the main garb of women. The young girls used to wear the Puthia as an upper garment made of pure cotton fabric and the Sulhanki as lower garments (loose pajama). Widows and unmarried women clothed themselves with Polka (half sleeved which ends at the waist) and Ghaghra as a voluminous gored skirt made of line satin, organza or silk. Another important part of clothing is Odhna of women which are worked in silk.

Jewellery preferred by women were exquisite in the style or design. One of the most jewellery called Rakhdi (head ornament), Machi-suliya (ears) and Tevata, Pattia, and the aad (all is necklace). Rakhdi, nath and chuda show the married woman's status. The footwear is the same for men and women and named Juti made of leather.

=== Sikhs ===
[[Sikhism]] was founded in the 15th century. In 1699, the last [[guru]] of Sikhism, [[Guru Gobind Singh]] mandated [[Khalsa|Khalsa Sikh]] men to have uncut hair for their lives, which they wear into a turban or [[dastar]]. The dastar has since then been an integral part of the Sikh culture.

During the [[British colonial period]], Indian clothing went through many changes and began to reflect an evident European influence. The British had a strict set of rules for attire, as they viewed themselves as culturally superior. These new clothing norms arrived alongside new rules around government, education, and class structure.<ref name="doi.org">{{Cite journal |date=2015 |title=A Brief History of Dress, Difference and Fashion Change in India |url=https://doi.org/10.5040/9781474232364.ch-002 |journal=Indian Fashion |pages=25–48 |doi=10.5040/9781474232364.ch-002|isbn=9781474232364 |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Upper and middle-class Indian men wore western clothing in public, often doing so because it brought them closer to being equal with European men. At first, this included combining elements of Indian and Western clothing, as some men would wear a '[[dhoti]]' (loose lower garment) with a shirt and coat. Others started wearing a [[sherwani]], which fused together the British frock coat and an [[achkan]]. Eventually, some men started wearing full European styles, like a pantsuit. Although one major difference that remained between Indian and European men's fashion was the style and etiquette of head coverings. Some Indian men wore this for religious purposes, like turbans and [[pheta]]s. For Indian men, it was important to wear this at all times in public, whereas European men would generally remove it. Thus, we see that Indian men’s fashion experienced changes through the fusion of cultures.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gupta |first=Toolika |title=The Influence of British Raj on Indian Fashion |date=14 November 2012 |url=https://www.academia.edu/2133441}}</ref>

Women's clothing and fashion were also influenced by the British. They did not wear fully western clothes like men, but many started to wear petticoats and certain blouse styles under their saris.<ref name="doi.org"/> Both of these articles of clothing were brought to India by Europeans. These new articles of clothing also created some tension between castes. One major instance of this was in Kerala, where only upper-caste women were allowed to wear blouses. Though, from 1813 to 1859 the [[Channar revolt|Channar Revolt]] was supported by Christian missionaries who wanted Indian women to wear blouses.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=K D |first1=Binu |last2=Manoharan |first2=Manosh |date=2021-10-08 |title=Absence in Presence: Dalit Women's Agency, Channar Lahala, and Kerala Renaissance |url=https://vc.bridgew.edu/jiws/vol22/iss10/3 |journal=Journal of International Women's Studies |volume=22 |issue=10 |pages=17–30 |issn=1539-8706}}</ref>

Another influence of the British on Indian women's clothing was the introduction of new materials. They started using mill-made cloth and other imported satins and artificial silks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=COLONIAL PERIOD |url=http://indianculture.gov.in/node/2730147 |access-date=2023-02-27 |website=INDIAN CULTURE |language=en}}</ref> A few reasons for using these new materials include that they were cheaper to produce and were more versatile than the cloth used in India. Sometimes these new styles were also more functional for Indian women. The adoption of these new textiles and styles was seen as a sign of upward mobility in British-Indian society.<ref name="doi.org"/>

The British also impacted the textile industry in India because of industrialisation and using their own mills instead of artisans in India. This led to the unemployment of many Indians. Later, Gandhi called for Indian people to make and wear their own hand-spun clothing, called [[khadi]] cloth, as a sign of resistance against the British.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Victoria and Albert Museum |first=Digital Media webmaster@vam ac uk |date=2015-09-29 |title=The Fabric of India: Textiles in a Changing World |url=http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/exhibitions/the-fabric-of-india/textiles-in-a-changing-world/ |access-date=2023-02-27 |website=www.vam.ac.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref> This was part of the [[Swadeshi movement|Swadeshi]] movement. In fact, we can see that small-scale artisan clothing producers did not disappear from India during the 20th century as they continued to make up a significant share of industrial output.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gupta |first1=Bishnupriya |author-link=Bishnupriya Gupta |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198753643.003.0010 |title=The Spread of Modern Industry to the Periphery since 1871 |last2=Roy |first2=Tirthankar |author-link2=Tirthankar Roy |date=16 February 2017 |publisher=Oxford University PressOxford |isbn=978-0-19-875364-3 |editor1-last=O'Rourke |editor1-first=Kevin Hjortshøj |pages=229–255 |chapter=From Artisanal Production to Machine Tools |doi=10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198753643.003.0010 |editor2-last=Williamson |editor2-first=Jeffrey Gale}}</ref>

== Post-Independence ==
{{Further|Fashion in India}}
[[Western dress codes|Western clothing]] has gained increasing popularity, especially in the metropolitan cities. This has also led to the development of the [[Indo-Western clothing|Indo-Western]] style. [[Bollywood]] has also been a major influence in fashion around the subcontinent, especially in Indian fashion.

[[File:Indian chappal, Kolhapur, late 20th century - Bata Shoe Museum - DSC00445.JPG|thumb|223x223px|Kolhapuri chappal]]
'''Kolhapuri chappals''' or '''Kolhapuris''' are [[India]]n [[Folk art#Hand crafted|hand-crafted]], braided leather slip-on [[Sandal|sandals]] that are locally [[Tanning (leather)|tanned]] using [[vegetable dye]]s, and hand-decorated with patterns. They are open-toed, T-strap sandals with a loop to hold the big toe, and a large foot loop forward of the ankle fixed by a cord to an attachment point near the toe loop, made to slip on without any fastening. Braided leather [[Mule (footwear)|Mules]] or braided leather [[shoe]] type designs are also common.

==History==
History has recorded that it was started and designed by the Saudagar family in 1920. The first model which was designed earlier was much thinner than what is available currently and was also known as "Chappal with ears" or "Kanwali" for it had two side flaps. The upper portion of the footwear was intricately designed.

By 18th century, it became very popular as "Kolhapuri".
When this model was sent to a retail store "J.J. and Sons" in South Mumbai, it was very much appreciated and further they ordered for another, then they ordered for another 20 more pairs and it was sold like hot cake in Bombay. Soon there was lot of demand for the Kanwalis in the market and so the Saudagar family extended their work by teaching the artistry to others. This footwear is known in local language as "Pie-taan". By 18th century it became very popular as Kolhapuri and soon after that it was also designed in adjoining towns and cities of Maharashtra.

[[Shahu I]] of Kolhapur [[Maratha Empire]] (and his successor [[Rajaram II of Satara|Rajaram II]]) encouraged the Kolhapuri chappal industry and 29 tanning centres were opened during his reign.<ref name="economictimes"/><ref name="Chappal therapy">{{cite news |last1=Dore |first1=Bhavya |title=Chappal therapy |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/sunday-read/chappal-therapy/articleshow/69909706.cms |access-date=22 December 2021 |work=[[Bangalore Mirror]] |date=June 23, 2019 |language=en |archive-date=22 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222222938/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/sunday-read/chappal-therapy/articleshow/69909706.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== GI tag===

These chappals were first made in [[Kolhapur district|Kolhapur]] [[Maharashtra]] in the original form and design, after that artists from [[Karnataka]] have also been making Kolhapuri chappals when they were under the [[Maratha Empire]]. Districts such as [[Kolhapur district|Kolhapur]], [[Sangli district|Sangli]], [[Satara district|Satara]] and [[Solapur district|Solapur]] districts of [[Maharashtra]] as well as [[Bagalkot]], [[Belgavi]], [[Dharwad district|Dharwad]] and [[Bijapur]] of [[Maharashtra]] [[Karnataka]] border, will only be able to carry the tag of "Kolhapuri chappal".<ref name="economictimes">{{Cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/kolhapuris-the-famous-leather-chappal-get-geographical-indication-tag/geographical-indication-tag/slideshow/69855278.cms|title=Kolhapuris: The famous leather chappal get Geographical Indication tag - Geographical Indication tag|date=19 July 2019|website=The Economic Times|access-date=2019-07-21|archive-date=21 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721114230/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/kolhapuris-the-famous-leather-chappal-get-geographical-indication-tag/geographical-indication-tag/slideshow/69855278.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=toi>{{cite news |last1=Patil |first1=Abhijeet |date=21 June 2019 |title=Kolhapuri chappal gets GI tag after decade-long wait |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolhapur/kolhapuri-chappal-gets-gi-tag-after-decade-long-wait/articleshow/69885776.cms |access-date=25 December 2019 |work=The Times of India |language=en |archive-date=5 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200105013906/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolhapur/Kolhapuri-chappal-gets-GI-tag-after-decade-long-wait/articleshow/69885776.cms |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=newindianexpress>{{cite news |title=Namma Kolhapuri chappal gets GI boost |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2019/jun/19/namma-kolhapuri-chappal-gets-gi-boost-1992139.html |access-date=25 December 2019 |work=The New Indian Express |archive-date=25 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225193540/https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2019/jun/19/namma-kolhapuri-chappal-gets-gi-boost-1992139.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The manufacture of Kolhapuri chappals involves a series of operations including skiving, pattern making and cutting, the attachment of upper and bottom heels, stitching, finishing, punching and trimming, decoration and polishing, and assembly.{{cn|date=December 2021}} Kolhapuri chappals are known to last a lifetime if maintained well and not used in rainy seasons.

In 2020, the total business market was estimated at around {{INR}}90,000,000 (9 [[crore]]), with over 10,000 artisans working in Kolhapur.

In the seventies, with the [[hippie]] movement, Kolhapuri chappals became popular in the [[United States]].

[[Prada]] sparked a cultural appropriation controversy after including sandals resembling Kolhapuri chappals<ref name=gupta/> in its Spring-Summer 2026 Men's collection, describing them merely as "leather sandals" with no mention of their Indian origins. This omission led to backlash from Indian fashion circles and traditional artisans in Maharashtra, who cited a violation of the GI-tagged footwear's heritage. Following public pressure and a formal complaint by the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), Prada acknowledged the sandals' Indian inspiration and expressed commitment to ethical design, cultural recognition, and possible collaboration with local artisans. The fashion house also stated that the advertised sandals were still at the design stage and had not been finalized for commercial production.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-06-28 |title='Sandals featured are still at design stage': Prada breaks silence on Kolhapuri chappal controversy |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/fashion/prada-finally-breaks-their-silence-on-kolhapuri-chappal-controversy-10093791/ |access-date=2025-06-28 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref> A PIL has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking compensation for Kolhapuri chappal artisans.

On 10 October, Odisha Minister [[Prithviraj Harichandan]] stated that the state administration had “handled the situation well,” noting that normalcy had returned to Cuttack.
He also criticised comments by West Bengal Chief Minister [[Mamata Banerjee]], describing them as “irresponsible” and potentially provocative.
Revenue Divisional Commissioner (Central Division) Guha Poonam Tapas Kumar, who reviewed the situation on 7 October with senior police and district officials, said that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face legal action and emphasised the need for communal harmony.
Police Commissioner S. Dev Datta Singh reported that curfew measures and security deployments had helped restore order and that no fresh violence had occurred after 5 October.<ref name="ANI10">{{Cite news |title=Odisha government handled Cuttack violence incident well, says Prithviraj Harichandan |url=https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/odisha-government-handled-cuttack-violence-incident-well-says-prithviraj-harichandan20251010090333 |work=[[Asian News International]] |date=10 October 2025 |access-date=13 October 2025}}</ref>

Beyond Odisha, West Bengal Chief Minister [[Mamata Banerjee]] criticised the violence, alleging that the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) and affiliated groups such as the [[Bajrang Dal]] were attempting to disrupt communal harmony in Odisha.
The Odisha government dismissed her remarks as “unbecoming” of a Chief Minister and urged her to focus on law and order in her own state.<ref name="Hindu17"/>

As of 10 October 2025, police reported 30 arrests connected to both the 4 October and 5 October incidents.<ref name="Rediff19">{{Cite web |title=Police conduct flag march in Cuttack ahead of mass prayer |url=https://www.rediff.com/news/report/police-conduct-flag-march-in-cuttack-ahead-of-mass-prayer/20251010.htm |website=[[Rediff.com]] |date=10 October 2025 |access-date=13 October 2025}}</ref><ref name="Hindu17">{{Cite web |last=Barik |first=Satyasundar |date=10 October 2025 |title=BJP Govt in Odisha reacts sharply to W.B.

Additional reports in the week following the clashes described a separate incident in Khuntuni, about 26 km from Cuttack, where two Muslim youths were allegedly assaulted and paraded with saffron flags by a group of right-wing activists on 6 October.
A video of the incident surfaced online on 13 October, prompting a police inquiry.
According to [[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]], local police confirmed that an investigation had been initiated after the video went viral, while political leaders and civil society groups expressed concern over rising communal tensions in the state.<ref name="TelegraphParade">{{Cite news |last=Mohanty |first=Subhashish |date=13 October 2025 |title=Muslim youths paraded with saffron flags in Odisha, probe ordered after video surfaces |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/muslim-youths-paraded-with-saffron-flags-in-odisha-amid-rising-communal-violence-prnt/cid/2127483 |website=The Telegraph |access-date=13 October 2025}}</ref>

In the days following the lifting of the curfew, Commissionerate Police organised peace committee meetings across Cuttack ahead of upcoming festivals such as [[Kali Puja]], [[Kartikeya|Kartikeshwar Puja]], and [[Bali Jatra]].
According to [[The New Indian Express]], these meetings brought together community leaders, representatives of puja and mosque committees, market associations, and local officials to promote harmony and prevent further disturbances.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Rishikesh Khilari stated that the initiative aimed to reinforce mutual respect and ensure peaceful celebrations in the wake of the recent violence.<ref name="NIEPeace">{{Cite news |title=Violence aftermath: Police hold peace meetings in Cuttack for festivals ahead |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2025/Oct/13/violence-aftermath-police-hold-peace-meetings-in-cuttack-for-festivals-ahead |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=13 October 2025 |access-date=13 October 2025}}</ref>

=== Analysis and commentary ===
According to a report by [[India Today]], the Cuttack violence, along with a night curfew in Balasore and a political killing in Berhampur, led to widespread concern about law and order in Odisha during the festive season.
The magazine described how what began as a dispute over loud music during a Durga Puja immersion procession in Cuttack escalated into one of the city’s most serious communal disturbances in decades.
It noted that the unrest, coupled with preventive restrictions in other districts, had raised questions about the state government’s capacity to manage inter-community tensions and maintain public confidence.<ref name="IndiaTodayFear">{{Cite news |last=Majumdar |first=Arkamoy Datta |date=12 October 2025 |title=How Odisha's festive season turned into one of fear |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/how-odishas-festive-season-turned-into-one-of-fear-2801788-2025-10-12 |work=[[India Today]] |access-date=13 October 2025}}</ref> Local MLA [[Sofia Firdous]], also accused for raising "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans in past<ref>{{Cite web |last=Service |first=Express News |date=2025-05-25 |title=Two held in Odisha for making, sharing video supporting Pakistan |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2025/May/25/two-held-in-odisha-for-making-sharing-video-supporting-pakistan |access-date=2026-02-25 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhattacharya |first=Oishani |date=2024-06-12 |title=Sofia Firdous victory rally in Cuttack: Slogans in name of 'Sofia Didi', 'Moquim Bhai' peddled as 'Pakistan Zindabad' |url=https://www.altnews.in/sofia-firdous-victory-rally-in-cuttack-slogans-in-name-of-sofia-didi-moquim-bhai-peddled-as-pakistan-zindabad/ |access-date=2026-02-25 |website=Alt News |language=en-GB}}</ref>, stayed silent at first leading to further disonace among the citizens.

Writing in ''[[The Hindu]]'', academic and columnist Shaikh Mujibur Rehman argued that the violence marked “a setback to Odisha’s secular ethos” and reflected growing social polarisation under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. He compared the 2025 Cuttack clashes to earlier communal disturbances in the State — including Bhadrak (2024) and Kandhamal (2008) — and observed that despite Odisha’s relatively small Muslim population, the city of Cuttack had historically maintained strong traditions of coexistence. <ref name="HinduOped">{{Cite news |last=Rehman |first=Shaikh Mujibur |date=27 October 2025 |title=A setback to Odisha's secular ethos |url=https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/a-setback-to-odishas-secular-ethos/article70205331.ece |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=28 October 2025}}</ref>

==History==

Legend says that around 1592 CE, [[Man Singh]] of [[Kingdom of Amber|Amber]] had come to conquer Bengal on behest of Mughal Emperor [[Akbar]] from [[Rajputana]] (Rajasthan) to expand the Mughal Empire to Eastern India. He appointed one of his loyal officers in the army, Sarveshwar Singh, to defeat the local rulers of the region known as Junglekhand. This area is also mentioned in ''[[Ain-i-Akbari]]'' as Jhari-khanda, and it was populated by the [[Santhal people|Santhal]], [[Munda people|Munda]], [[Bhumij people|Bhumij]], [[Kudmi Mahato]] and [[Lodha people|Lodha]] people groups. The area belonged to the [[Mal (caste)|Mal]] Raja.

The first fortress was supposed to have existed in Old Jhargram, but the ruins of the fortress are said to have gone underground due to some unknown reasons. The name of state capital, Jhargram, means a forest village which is surrounded by walls and canals. It was known as Ugal in the local language. Even today, the day after [[Durga Ashtami]], the four corners (Ugals) are worshiped for the protection of the erstwhile kingdom. The man who was the hero or bull within the surrounded wall and canal were called Ugal Sanda. As such, the full name of the Raja of the State was known as Raja Sarveshwar Malla Ugal Sanda Deb, and the title has been continued up to Raja Narasingha Malla Ugal Sanda Deb.

During the [[Maratha expeditions in Bengal|Maratha invasion of Bengal]] between 1741 and 1751, the king of Jhargram Raja Man Govind Malla Dev joined his armed forces with the Raja of [[History of Bankura district#Bishnupur kingdom|Bishnupur]] and the [[Nawab of Bengal]] to fight a war against them, and they were victorious. Jhargram remained an independent kingdom until 1767, when [[East India Company|The East India Company]], led by [[Robert Clive]], came from Midnapore, via Radhanagar to capture the Jhargram fort. Raja Shyam Sundar Malla Dev the then king of Jhargram worked on to check the advances of the British by allying with the Raja of Dhalbhumgarh, he took part in [[Chuar Rebellion|the Chuar Rebellion]] to protect his independent status. He defeated Colonel Fergusson at Dudhkundi near [[Kharagpur]] in 1791 when the East India Company tried to enter Jhargram. Fergusson's forces, consisting of 100 Europeans, 300 cavalry, 1400 sepoys and 10 field pieces, was the standard size of the colonial armies. But the second time the joint forces were defeated at [[Radhanagar (disambiguation)|Radhanagar]] by the British army in 1793, ending thereby the last hurdle to the colonial conquest of Bengal, hence the treaty of Midnapore confirmed the surrender of Jhargram and Dhalbhum to the British. But soon the British Governor of Bengal endorsed his stature, the kingdom was then recognized as a [[Zamindari]] estate under the law of [[primogeniture]], and the ruler was given the title of Raja. Jhargram fell twice into the [[Court of Wards (India)|Court of Wards]], after the death of Raja Raghunath Malla Ugal Sanda Deb and Raja Chandi Charan Malla Ugal Sanda Deb, respectively; but was later released when the Raja [[Narasingha Malla Deb]] attained majority. In this connection, it may be mentioned that in 1944–45, the then Vice-Roy of India agreed to recognize Jhargram as a feudatory state; but at that time, the whole of India was going through turmoil and was moving towards independence. The [[1946 Cabinet Mission to India|Cabinet mission]] came to negotiate with congress, the Muslim League, and other parties. The proposal for the feudatory status of Jhargram Raj has put aside then.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jhargrampalace.com/history.php|title=History of Jhargram|first=Jhargram|last=Palace|access-date=9 May 2019|archive-date=29 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329185041/http://www.jhargrampalace.com/history.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The rulers of Jhargram were benevolent and progressive, and they focused on the welfare of their subjects. Raja Raghunath Malla Deb studied FA in [[Scottish Church College]], and was the first-degree holder in the district. In 1899, he had established the first primary school in his kingdom. Raja was also an avid wrestler and was known for miraculous physical strength. His wrestling instruments are still kept in the Palace and Calcutta Museum.
Raja Sir [[Narasingha Malla Deb]], the last titular king of Jhargram, is considered the father of modern Jhargram. Educated at [[Midnapore Collegiate School]] and [[Presidency College, Kolkata|Presidency College]] in [[Calcutta]], he is conferred with OBE and KBE, granted the [[King George V Silver Jubilee Medal]], served as a member of the Legislative Council of Bengal from 1947 to 1952 and 1952–57, and also a member of Parliament-Lok Sabha in Congress from 1957 to 1962. He commissioned the new palace in 1931, which is one of the finest example of [[Indo Saracenic]] architecture and spread over 23 acres of land. During [[World War II]], Raja sahib constructed an airstrip in [[Dudhkundi Airfield|Dudhkundi]] for the [[United States Air Force]], apart also provided the [[Allies of World War II|Allied forces]] with elephants, vehicles and other help.


Between 1922 and 1950 Prof. Debendra Mohan Battacharya was the administrator of Jhargram and that time is seen as a golden age. In those twenty-eight years, Jhargram developed into a township; and during this period, many educational institutions were established and developed. Kumud Kumari Institution (K.K.I), a premier institution of the sub-division, was founded in 1924. In 1925, an annual sports fund was created; which was to be used to encourage sports activities, and construct the football stadium and the Jhargram Club. Raja Narasingha Malla Deb established Jhargram Agricultural College, which was renamed Jhargram Raj College. He also established Vidyasagar Polytechnic, industrial training and gave funds to set up Sri Ramkrishna Saradapeeth Girls High School and [[Bharat Sevashram Sangha]]. The royal family established and assisted in the running of all primary institutions for at risk people in the Jhargram estate. At the consent of the [[Governor]] of Bengal, he established a hospital at Jhargram town in the name of his late father, Chandi Charan Charitable Hospital. Later on in every [[tehsil]], a charitable hospital was established for primary treatment in the nearby villages. Raja established the Bani Bhaban, under the guidance of Lady Abala Bose, for rehabilitation of widows. He also donated land to the [[Roman Catholic Church]] of India and the Muslim community to build Nurrani Jama Masjid in Jhargram. In 1947, further land was acquired, and Jhargram Raj constructed buildings to develop a school, which was Rani Binode Manjuri Govt. Girls School; which is now one of the premier schools in [[Midnapore]] district.

Between 1928 and 1950, Sir Raja [[Narasingha Malla Deb]] donated to welfare causes and donated 10,000 [[bigha]]s of land to poor farmers in 1947, making him the single largest land donor in West Bengal.

In 2020, after a 9-year decline, [[Naxalite-Maoist insurgency|Maoist insurgents]] returned to Jhargram and experienced a major resurgence, with some speculating an imminent Maoist resurgence in West Bengal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/west-bengal/after-nine-years-maoist-squad-back-in-bengal-police-on-alert-2307621.html|title=After nine years, Maoist squad back in Bengal; police on alert|date=5 September 2020}}</ref>

Curious to meet her before the wedding, he visits her house secretly without informing his parents. There, he encounters Archana, a friend of Preethi, who falsely introduces herself as Preethi.

Unaware of the deception, Pavan falls in love with Archana, and she reciprocates his feelings. However, the truth is revealed on the day of the engagement. Despite his feelings for Archana, Pavan feels compelled to proceed with the marriage when Archana insists that Preethi's life would be at risk if the engagement is called off.

As the story unfolds, the emotional conflict continues until the truth about Pavan and Archana's love is exposed. In a selfless act, Preethi sacrifices her love for Pavan and decides to leave for [[United States|America]], allowing Pavan and Archana to be together.

== Reception ==
''Chandu'' was released on 31 August 2001 but received a poor response from both audiences and critics, failing to make an impact at the box office.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":5" />

''[[Telugucinema.com]]'' in its review remarked that the film featured one good song and described Pavan Kumar (Jeet) as "a one-day wonder."<ref name=":5" />

=== Impact on Jeet's career ===
The commercial failure of ''Chandu'' posed challenges for the lead actor Jeet (credited as Pavan Kumar), who later described this phase as a low point in his career.<ref name=":0" /> The film's lacklustre performance led him to question his prospects in the film industry, prompting a brief hiatus during which he reevaluated his aspirations and approach to acting.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-08-09 |title=When Jeet's Telugu debut film tanked at the box office |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/did-you-know/did-you-know-jeet-made-his-debut-in-a-telugu-film/articleshow/85170667.cms |access-date=2024-12-13 |work=[[The Times of India]] |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=15 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240115054724/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/did-you-know/did-you-know-jeet-made-his-debut-in-a-telugu-film/articleshow/85170667.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>

Following his experience with ''Chandu'', Jeet redirected his efforts toward the [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali film industry]]. He achieved a major breakthrough in 2002 with the Bengali film [[Sathi (2002 film)|''Sathi'']], which became a commercial success and garnered him critical acclaim. Jeet later credited the failure of ''Chandu'' as a pivotal learning experience that helped him build resilience and confidence. Over time, he emerged as one of the most prominent and highest-paid actors in Bengali cinema.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

==Plot==
The film begins in a heritage palace, ''Gandharva Mahal,'' which has belonged to the royal dynasty Rudramaneni for centuries. As of today, Rayudu is its heir who has lost his splendor and resides in the outhouse with his wife and two daughters, Visalakshi and Jagadamba. He allows the palace in different portions for people of various mindsets on rent to make ends meet. In which some willies misuse the generosity of Rayudu and power over him. At that point, Manoj, an energetic man, lands on the premises and joins as a tenant, where he spots old insane beggar Amurtha Valli wandering in the surroundings. He terror-stricken the sly with a fake horror play and aligns them. Rayudu fixes a prosperous alliance for Visalakshi and bestows the palace as a dowry. He requests the tenants to vacate, which they deny, but Manoj tactically restores it. Parallelly, he always squabbles with Jagadhamba, and in time, they crush. Suddenly, one night, aghast Manoj grounds Rayudu with a bloodied nose and claims that a supernatural power batter and warns him never to leave the palace. Rayudu states it may be his father, Rudramaneni Narasimha Rayudu, and spins rearward.

A long time ago, Rudramaneni Narasimha Rayudu was an arbiter whom the terrain adores as a deity, and it is eternal from four sides in his reign. He loves the ''Gandharva Mahal'' and dotes on his sibling Jagadhamba. Based on his father's promise, Narsimha Rayudu knits Jagadhamba with malice, Phanindra Bhupati being unbeknownst. Soon after, Bhupati ruses by discomfiting himself as down and out. Annoyed, Narsimha Rayudu gives half of what he owns, including the ''Gandharva Mahal,'' to his sister and leaves the house. He also gifts a one-fourth to his true blue Seshayya. Bhupati lusts on his sweetheart Amrutha, whom he aspires to be his spouse. However, she refuses it as Bhupati is already in wedlock. The vicious Bhupati then slays Jagadhamba and makes it a suicide. He attempts to splice Amurtha only a week later in the ''Gandharva Mahal.'' Recognizing it, Narasimha Rayudu flares up on Bhupati when Seshayya dies in combat, and Bhupati backstabs Narasimha Rayudu, and he, too, slaughters him. Before leaving his breath, Narasimha Rayudu warns that ''Gandharva Mahal'' belongs to him and nobody can dare to touch it. Devastated, Amrutha blames herself for the deed and transforms into a beggar.

Visalakshi's wedding arrangements are in progress at the palace and are under Manoj's charge. Rushi, the bridegroom, arrives with his family. Bujji, his maternal uncle, is a duplicitous ploy to squat the palace to convert it into a hotel and nab the documents. The following night, Narasimha Rayudu's soul thumps & spooks him. Rushi's mother decides to cancel the nuptials when Manoj coaxes them and retrieves the documents. Despite this, Bujji calls a wizard who senses the existence of Narasimha Rayudu and Bhupati therein. According to Narasimha Rayudu's guidance, the wizard captures the violent soul of Bhupati. In the interim, Rayudu learns about Manoj's love affair with Jagadhamba when he invites his parents. Surprisingly, Manoj is the grandson of Seshayya, and he was sent by his mother, Suguna, to aid Rayudu.

Manoj reveals to Jagadhamba that the wallop of Narasimha Rayudu's soul on him and Bujji is part of his play to safeguard the palace. At once, he is under dichotomy for words and doings of the wizard. Overhearing it, enraged Bujji knocks out Manoj, and assuming the wizard is also an impostor, he breaks the bottle containing Bhupati's soul. The unfettered spirit of Bhupati enters Rishi's body and creates mayhem. To impede him, Narasimha Rayudu catches hold of Manoj's body when a deadly battle erupts. Immediately, the wizard rushes to Amurtha to solve the problem and avoid the imminent. Amurtha sacrifices her life to relieve Bhupati's soul. Manoj and Jagadhamba and Rushi and Visalakshi's marriages occur. Finally, the movie ends with Manoj viewing Narasimha Rayudu sitting on a chair and smoking a cigar, indicating that he will forever protect the ''Gandharva Mahal.''

The logo and posters of ''Varuvan Thalaivan'', the predominantly dubbed Tamil version of the film, was launched in Chennai by Tamil actor [[Silambarasan]] on 21 May 2012. The team re-shot certain scenes with actors [[Pandiarajan]], [[Charle]] and [[Manobala]] for the Tamil audiences. However the Telugu version's poor performance at the box office meant that the Tamil version was not released.

===Critical reception===
The film opened to mixed to negative reviews but Balakakrishna's performance was praised by critics. Jeevi from Idlebrain gave a 3.25 out of 5.0 rating and said "UKUP is a special film for two reasons. One is that it introduces a big star like Bala Krishna in a vital role. If big stars accept story-oriented films and act as per the demand of the role instead of looking for equal screen space, it’s good for the industry. The second reason is that the producer has passionately invested in the project though it’s a story-oriented film with some experimentation. Watch it for the performances of Bala Krishna Nandamuri, Manoj Manchu, and Lakshmi Manchu. And for the spectacular Gandharva Mahal set".<ref>[http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-ukup.html Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara (UKUP) review – Telugu cinema – Manoj Manchu, Bala Krishna Nandamuri & Deeksha seth] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120730050533/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-ukup.html |date=30 July 2012 }}.

'''''Maine Dil Tujhko Diya''''' (''{{langx|en|I gave my heart to you}}'') is a 2002 Indian [[Bollywood|Hindi]]-language [[romantic action film]], directed, produced, written by and starring [[Sohail Khan]], who makes his acting debut along with another debutante, [[Sameera Reddy]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/dec/22sohail.htm|title=Sohail Khan debuts as director-producer|website=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=11 January 2024|archive-date=20 April 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050420015753/http://rediff.com/movies/2000/dec/22sohail.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The film also features [[Sanjay Dutt]], [[Kabir Bedi]] and [[Dalip Tahil]] in supporting roles.

==Plot==
Ajay is head of his college group named the Aryans, and they all wear the same jacket. Ajay is introduced to a girl named Ayesha, and they become friends first. Gradually, Ajay and Ayesha fall in love with each other. This enrages Ayesha's father Ranjit because of Ajay's status as a poor man. Ajay challenges to get Ayesha back to him in the nick of time, which seems quite challenging to Ranjit, whose friend and business partner, Vishal Chopra, also becomes enraged and decides to finish off Ajay, but with an ulterior motive, for his son Raman to marry Ayesha to acquire the Verma family's wealth.

Chopra appoints a notorious criminal, Bhaijaan, to finish off Ajay. Bhaijaan, however, refuses to do so himself, as he does not kill people in the month of [[Ramadan]], so he appoints his two head henchmen, Munna and Chhote. Ajay at first empowers them during a fight, but no sooner do they appoint a gang to beat up Ajay brutally and leave him for dead on the street. Ajay recovers quite soon from his injuries and enters Ranjit's mansion through the gate. An enraged Ajay challenges him to get back Ayesha at any and all costs. Ranjit, too, keeps one condition: if within 24 hours he doesn't get back to Ayesha, he will have to get out of her life forever. Ajay accepts this deal as he is studying business. Again, Vishal plans a conspiracy and has Ajay arrested without any [[crime]].

The police inspector, Raman, first beats Ajay up, but then gets almost equally beaten up brutally, and Ajay escapes from prison. Vishal calls Chhote to kill Ajay and promises to give him loads of money, but Chhote replies that Ramadan is over and Bhaijaan will finish Ajay, and so he doesn't need the money. This conversation gets taped by Ayesha's younger sister. Ajay gets surrounded by henchmen and knocks on each one but is interrupted by Bhaijaan. Just before Bhaijaan is about to kill Ajay, the former says he is in love and will die only once in love. This causes Bhaijaan to undergo a change of heart, as he once had a brother, Irfan, who committed suicide because Bhaijaan didn't care for his feelings towards a girl he deeply loved.

During [[Eid ul Fitr]], Bhaijaan thanks God for giving a pretty boy like Ajay in return for his deceased brother and decides to help him. The very day, Ajay arrives at the Verma mansion within 24 hours and decides to stop Ayesha's marriage to Vishal's son. Chhote disobeys Bhaijaan, and soon a fight ensues.

Bhaijaan requests Ajay to go, but he is beaten up badly. Ajay interrupts the wedding and points a gun at Ranjit, which is given to him by the priest. Soon, Ajay and Ayesha get married quickly. Just when Verma is about to kill Ajay, at that second Mini plays the tape of the deal to her father, and soon Vishal and Raman are kicked off of the house. Bhaijaan kills all the henchmen with a sword and finally slits Munna and Chhote with a sword. The film ends on a happy note with Ayesha and Ajay being united and Bhaijaan reconciling with Ajay because he reminds him of his brother, who was also pretty.

'''Thantri''' or '''Tantri''' is the Vedic head who sets the rules in temples of [[Kerala]] and in coastal [[Karnataka]] in southern India. It is a hereditary position<ref>{{cite news |date=8 January 2019 |title=Nobody can change the hereditary tantri, says Thazhamon Math |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2019/01/08/nobody-change-hereditary-tantri-thazhamon-math.amp.html |access-date=26 February 2026 |work=Onmanorama}}</ref>. The thantri installs the ''[[murti]]'' of the deity called ''[[Prana Pratishtha|prana pratishtha]]'', and from that moment he assumes the position of the guru of the deity<ref>{{cite web |title=Thanthram |url=http://namboothiri.com/articles/thanthram.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051215022624/http://namboothiri.com/articles/thanthram.htm |archive-date=15 December 2005 |access-date=26 February 2026 |website=Namboothiri Websites Trust}}</ref>.

Thantris are [[Shrauta]] [[Namboothiri]] [[Brahmin]]s who study ''[[Buddhist tantric literature|tantras]]'', and belong to [[Mimamsa|''Poorva Mimamsa'']], one of the 6 schools of thought in Hindu philosophy. Poorva mimamsa deals with the early parts of the [[Veda]]s. Another famous school of philosophy is [[Vedanta]] also known as [[Uttara mimamsa|Uttara Mimamsa]] (essence of Vedas). One common misconception about Vedanta is that it mostly deals with the later parts of the Vedas. Vedanta is the essence that enlightens one in the end, not the physical ending.

Thantris have the exclusive right<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/2000/11/05/stories/0205000q.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20141112075128/http://www.thehindu.com/2000/11/05/stories/0205000q.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2014-11-12 |title=Thantri is the final authority: study |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=2000-11-05 |accessdate=2016-01-20}}</ref> to conduct certain core rituals in temples of [[Kerala]] and [[Tulunadu]]. In temples like [[Sabarimala]], the presence of thantri is needed every day.

Daily rituals in Kerala temples are traditionally performed by [[Nambudiri|Namboothiris]], and often by [[Embranthiri]] migrants from Karnataka. Even among Namboothiris, only designated families become thanthris{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=November 2014}}. Thanthris have to perform the task of transferring (skt. ''Aavaahanam'') the aura (skt. ''Chaithanyam'') of the deity and energizing the idol. The techniques employed are described in the [[Āgama (Hinduism)|''aagamas'']].<ref>{{cite web |title=Thanthram |url=http://www.namboothiri.com/articles/thanthram.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051215022624/http://namboothiri.com/articles/thanthram.htm |archive-date=15 December 2005 |access-date=26 February 2026 |website=Namboothiri Websites Trust}}</ref>

The first step of a Yajamaanan (a person who has prepared himself mentally and financially) to build a temple, is to seek and accept (Varikkal) an ''aacharyan'' (Thanthri). Sanskrit text ''Thanthra Samuchayam'' identifies an ideal ''aachaaryan'' as one who is born {{Citation needed|reason=Questionable sentence; as Braahmanan does not become a brahmanan just because he belongs to a brahmin leneage|date=November 2014}} into a [[Brahmin]] family, has performed all the ''Shodasakriyas'' from [[Sanskara (rite of passage)|''Garbhaadhaanam'' to ''Agnyaadhaanam'']], has understood the concepts contained in the [[Veda]]s and [[Agama (Hinduism)|Aagamas]] (Braahmacharyam, Gaarhasthhyam, Vaanaprasthham and Samnyaasam), has received blessings and Manthram advice from Gurus and elders, is an expert in performing rites and rituals (Karmams), is capable of receiving spiritual powers through meditation and penance (Thapas). Future Aachaaryans of the temple must be descendants of this Guru or Thanthri.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

During the evolution and development of Thanthric philosophy, two kinds of ''aachaaryas'' emerged - the theoreticians and the practitioners. While the former developed concepts and prescribed procedures, the latter perfected their performance through strict discipline, leading to the attainment of the expected results.

== Scriptures on Thanthras ==

The treatises may be divided into three categories: ''[[Āgama (Hinduism)|Aagamas]]'' ([[Shaivism]]), ''[[Samhita|Samhithas]]'' ([[Vaishnavism]]) and ''[[Tantra|Thanthrams]]'' ([[Shaktism|Shakthism]]). (''Aagamas'' include ''Nigama'' versions.) The former are [[Shiva|Shiva's]] advice to [[Parvati|Parvathy]], while Nigamas are spoken by Parvathy to Shiva. Other classifications are regional, such as ''Vishnukraanthaa'', ''Rathhakraanthaa'' and ''Aswaakraanthaa'', and also ''Yaamalams'' and ''Daamarams''.

Keraleeyans have also written treatises. The most popular is ''Thanthra Samuchayam'' by Chennas Narayanan Namboodiripad, who was one among the [[Pathinettara Kavikal|18 ½ poets]] of the [[Zamorin of Calicut|Saamoothiri's]] court. He consolidated and systematized the scattered literature which had then complicated its learning and practice. Written in simple style and understandable by the common man, it covers topics such as building of temples, consecration of [[murtis]], ''[[kalasam]]s'', ''[[Utsava|uthsavams]]'' and ''[[Prāyaścitta|praayaschithams]]''.

Several commentaries (''skt''. [[Pravachan|''vyakhyanam'']]) were written both in [[Sanskrit]] and [[Malayalam]]. The treatise describes rituals related to seven deities: Shiva, [[Vishnu]], [[Durga]], Saasthaavu, Subrahmanian, [[Ganesha|Ganapathy]], and Sankaranarayanan The ''aagamams'' of these deities have been condensed, as expressed by the author, when he stated, "Swaagama-saara-samgrahaal".

Two known commentaries in Sanskrit are ''Vimarsini'' and ''Vivaranam''. Later, several translations into Malayalam were completed, of which ''Kuzhikkaattu Pacha'' by Kuzhikkaattu Maheswaran Bhattathiripad is the most popular. Works such as ''Thozhaanooranushtthaanam'' and ''Parameswaraanushtthaanam'' deal with the same topics, also from Kerala.

[[File:His Highness the Khan of Kalat and Sons.jpg|thumbnail|His Highness the Khan of Kalat and Sons, by Fred Bremner.]]
'''Fred Bremner''' (1863–1941<ref>{{Cite web |title=Collection: Fred Bremner (Scottish, 1863 – 1941) |publisher=National Galleries Scotland |url=http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/artists-a-z/B/4558/artist_name/Fred%20Bremner/page/20}}</ref>) was a Scottish photographer. His portraiture work in [[British India]], spanning 1882 to 1922, preserves a record of life in the period.

==Biography==
Bremner was born in 1863 in [[Aberchirder]] (also known as Foggylone) in [[Scotland]] and was one of several sons of a photographer in [[Banff, Scotland|Banff]]. He left school at the age of thirteen to join his father's studio and worked there for six years. In 1882, Bremner accepted an offer of work from his brother-in-law [[G. W. Lawrie]], who ran a successful photography business in [[Lucknow]], and he was assigned work throughout northern India (modern India and Pakistan).<ref name="sharma">{{cite journal|last1=Bhushan Sharma|first1=Brij|title=Fred Bremner's Indian years|journal=History of Photography|date=October 1989|volume=13|issue=4|pages=293–301|doi=10.1080/03087298.1989.10441003}}</ref>

In 1889, Bremner established his own photographic studio in [[Karachi]], and successively studios in [[Quetta]], [[Lahore]] and [[Rawalpindi]]. He travelled great distances to rarely photographed areas, and his work therefore captures a scarce record of rural life, landscapes and people in late 19th and early 20th century India (his work spans 1882 to 1922).<ref name=SNPG>{{cite web|title=Lucknow to Lahore {{!}} Fred Bremner's Vision of India|url=http://www.nationalgalleries.org/whatson/exhibitions/lucknow-to-lahore#.UG_VDI5fXHQ|work=[[Scottish National Portrait Gallery]]|publisher=[[National Galleries of Scotland]]|accessdate=6 October 2012|location=Edinburgh|year=2012}}</ref>

Of particular interest to military historians are Bremner's photographic studies of British and Indian Army units on station in the North West Frontier region of India (now Pakistan) during the late 1800s. These studies are distinguished by the quality of the plates, which preserve in detail the faces, equipment, uniforms and living conditions of a battalion of the line from this period. Photographed on location with the troops and then sold to order, these books are now extremely rare with very few copies available for public viewing.

India national football team records and statistics

2026-01-20T23:25:13Z

Vitelglobal: Updated article with clearer structure

The following is a list of the [[India national football team]]'s competitive records and statistics.

The India national football team represents [[India]] in international [[Association football|football]] and is controlled by the [[All India Football Federation]]. Under the global jurisdiction of [[FIFA]] and governed in Asia by the [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]], the team is also part of the [[South Asian Football Federation]]. The team, which was once considered one of the best teams in [[Asia]], had its golden era during the 1950s and early 1960s. During this period, under the coaching of [[Syed Abdul Rahim]], India won gold during the [[1951 Asian Games|1951]] and [[1962 Asian Games|1962]] [[Asian Games]], won silver medal in 1964 AFC Asia Cup as runners up, while finishing fourth during the [[1956 Summer Olympics]].
India has never participated in the [[FIFA World Cup]], although the team did qualify by default for the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 World Cup]] after all the other nations in their qualification group withdrew. However India withdrew prior to the beginning of the tournament.

India has never participated in a [[FIFA World Cup]].<ref name="India 1950" /> After gaining independence in 1947, India managed to qualify for the World Cup held in [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950]]. This was due to [[Myanmar national football team|Myanmar]], [[Indonesia national football team|Indonesia]], and the [[Philippines national football team|Philippines]] withdrawing from [[1950 FIFA World Cup qualification#Group 10|qualification]].<ref name="India 1950" /> However, prior to the start of the tournament, India themselves withdrew due to the expenses required in getting the team to Brazil.<ref name="India 1950" /> Other reasons cited for why India withdrew include [[FIFA]] not allowing Indian players to play in the tournament barefoot and the [[All India Football Federation]] not considering the World Cup an important tournament compared to the [[Summer Olympics|Olympics]].<ref name="India 1950" />

After withdrawing from the 1950 FIFA World Cup, India didn't enter the qualifying rounds of the tournament between [[1954 FIFA World Cup|1954]] and [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]].<ref name="World Cup record" /> Since the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 qualifiers]], with the exception of the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 edition]] of the tournament, the team started to participate in qualifiers but have yet to qualify for the tournament again.<ref name="World Cup record" />

The '''''Bāburnāma''''' ({{langx|chg|وقایع|Vaqayiʿ|The Events}};<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dale |first1=Stephen F. |title=Babur: Timurid Prince and Mughal Emperor, 1483–1530 |date=2018 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-316-99637-9 |page=3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xyluDwAAQBAJ&q=babur+timur+prince |language=en}}</ref> {{langx|fa|بابر‌نامه|Bāburnāma|History of Babur}}) is the memoirs of [[Babur|Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muhammad Bābur]] (1483–1530), founder of the [[Mughal Empire]] and a great-great-great-grandson of [[Timur]]. It is written in the [[Chagatai language]], known to Babur as ''Türki'' "Turkic", the spoken language of the [[Timurid dynasty|Timurids]].

During the reign of his grandson, the emperor [[Akbar]], the work was translated into [[Classical Persian]], the literary language of the Mughal court, by a courtier, [[Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan]], in 1589–90 CE ([[Hijri year|AH]] 998).<ref name="Biography of Abdur Rahim Khankhana">{{cite web |url = http://www.poemhunter.com/abdur-rahim-khankhana/biography/poet-33381/ |title = Biography of Abdur Rahim Khankhana |access-date = 2006-10-28 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060117163845/http://www.poemhunter.com/abdur-rahim-khankhana/biography/poet-33381/ |archive-date = 2006-01-17}}</ref>

Babur was an educated Timurid prince, and his observations and comments in his memoirs reflect an interest in nature, society, politics and economics. His vivid account of events covers not just his own life, but the history and geography of the areas he lived in as well as the people with whom he came into contact. The book covers topics as diverse as astronomy, geography, statecraft, military matters, weapons and battles, plants and animals, biographies and family chronicles, courtiers and artists, poetry, music and paintings, wine parties, historical monument tours, as well as contemplations on human nature.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Babur Nama : journal of Emperor Babur|last=ud-Dīn Muhammad|first=Zahīr|date=2006|publisher=Penguin Books|others=Hiro, Dilip., Beveridge, Annette Susannah.|isbn=9780144001491|location=New Delhi|pages=xxv|oclc=144520584}}</ref>

Though Babur himself does not seem to have commissioned any illustrated versions, his grandson ordered their production as soon as he was presented with the finished Persian translation in November 1589. The first of four illustrated copies made under Akbar over the following decade or so was broken up for sale in 1913. Some 70 miniatures are dispersed among various collections, with 20 in the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] in London. The three other versions, partly copied from the first, are in the [[National Museum, New Delhi]] (almost complete, dated 1597–98), the [[British Library]] (143 out of an original 183 miniatures, probably early 1590s) with a miniature over two pages in the [[British Museum]],<ref>Losty, 39; [https://research.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=468728&partId=1 British Museum page]</ref> and a copy, mostly lacking the text, with the largest portions in the [[State Museum of Oriental Art]], Moscow (57 folios) and the [[Walters Art Museum]] in [[Baltimore]] (30 miniatures).<ref>Losty, 39, with pages at 40–44</ref> Various other collections have isolated miniatures from these versions. Later illustrated manuscripts were also made, though not on as a grand a scale.

Babur is at the centre of most scenes shown. As far as is known, no contemporary images of him survive, but from whatever sources they had Akbar's artists devised a fairly consistent representation of him, "with a roundish face and droopy moustache", wearing a [[Central Asia]]n style of [[turban]] and a short-sleeved coat over a robe with long sleeves.<ref>Crill and Jariwala, 60</ref> Coming from a period after Akbar's workshop had developed their new style of [[Mughal painting]], the illustrated ''Baburnama''s show developments such as landscape views with a recession, influenced by Western art seen at court.<ref>Crill and Jariwala, 24–26</ref> Generally the scenes are less crowded than in earlier miniatures of "historical" scenes.

[[File:Illustrations from Babur-namah 1.jpg|thumb|Illustrations in the ''Baburnama'' regarding the fauna of [[India]].]]
According to historian Stephen Frederic Dale, Babur's Chagatai prose is highly [[Persian language|Persianized]] in its sentence structure, morphology, and vocabulary,<ref name="Dale2004">{{cite book |first=Stephen Frederic |last=Dale |title=The garden of the eight paradises: Bābur and the culture of Empire in Central Asia, Afghanistan and India (1483–1530) |publisher=Brill |year=2004 |pages=15,150 |isbn=90-04-13707-6 }}</ref> and also contains many phrases and smaller poems in [[Persian language|Persian]].

The ''Bāburnāma'' begins abruptly with these plain words:<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/baburnamainengli01babuuoft#page/n69/mode/2up English translation]</ref>

{{cquote|In the month of [[Ramadan]] of the year 899 [1494] and in the twelfth year of my age, I became [[padshah|ruler]] in the country of [[Fergana Valley|Farghana]].
}}

Babur describes his fluctuating fortunes as a minor ruler in Central Asia—he took and lost [[Samarkand]] twice—and his move to [[Kabul]] in 1504. There is a break in all known manuscripts between 1508 and 1519. [[Annette Beveridge]] and other scholars believe that the missing part in the middle, and perhaps an account of Babur's earlier childhood, a preface and perhaps an epilogue, were written, but the manuscript of those parts was lost by the time of Akbar.<ref>Beveridge, xxxii, xxxvii-xxxviii</ref> There are various points in his highly active career, and that of his son [[Humayun]], where parts of the original manuscript might plausibly have been lost.<ref>Beveridge, xxxv</ref>
[[File:Ḥamzah Sulṭān, Mahdī Sulṭan and Mamāq Sulṭān pay homage to Babur.jpg|thumb|Ḥamzah Sulṭān, Mahdī Sulṭan and Mamāq Sulṭān pay homage to Babur]]

By 1519 Babur took control of Kabul and from there launched an invasion into north-western [[India]]. The final section of the ''Bāburnāma'' covers the years 1525 to 1529 and the establishment of the [[Mughal Empire]] over what was by his death still a relatively small part of north-western India, which Babur's descendants would expand and rule for three centuries.

The account of the decisive [[First Battle of Panipat]] in 1526 is followed by long descriptions of India, its people, fauna and flora. Various exciting incidents are recounted and illustrated. For example, Babur jumps off his horse just in time to avoid following it into a river, and when his army has formed its boats into a circle a fish jumps into a boat to escape from a crocodile.<ref>Losty, 44</ref>

The original Chagatai language text does not seem to have existed in many copies, and those that survive are mostly partial. The copy seen in the Mughal Library in the 1620s, from which the Persian translation was presumably made, seems to have been lost.<ref>Beveridge, xxxix-xliii</ref>

In this autobiography, [[Babur]] mentions a boy named '[[Baburi Andijani|Baburi]]' as a teenager, with whom he was fascinated and infatuated. This subtle feeling is expressed on pages 120 and 121 of "Baburnama", where he writes:

(A personal episode and some verses by Babur.)<blockquote>'Äyisha-sultan Begum whom my father and hers, i.e. my uncle, Sl. Aḥmad Mirzā had betrothed to me, came (this year) to Khujand¹ and I took her in the month of Sha'ban. Though I was not ill-disposed towards her, yet, this being my first marriage, out of modesty and bashfulness, I used to see her once in 10, 15, or 20 days. Later on, when even my first inclination did not last, my bashfulness increased. Then my mother Khänīm used to send me, once a month or every 40 days, with driving and driving, dunnings and worry.

In those leisurely days, I discovered in myself a strange inclination, nay! as the verse says, 'I maddened and afflicted myself' for a boy in the camp-bazar, his very name, Bāburī, fitting in. Up till then, I had had no inclination for anyone, indeed of love and desire, either by hear-say or experience, I had not heard, I had not talked. At that time I composed Persian couplets, one or two at a time; this is one of them:

May none be as I, humbled and wretched and love-sick: No beloved as thou art to me, cruel and careless.

From time to time Bāburi used to come to my presence but out of modesty and bashfulness, I could never look straight at him; how then could I make conversation (ikhtilät) and recital (hikayat)? In my joy and agitation I could not thank him (for coming); how was it possible for me to reproach him with going away? What power had I to command the duty of service to myself? One day, during that time of desire and passion when I was going with companions along a lane and suddenly met him face to face, I got into such a state of confusion that I almost went right off. To look straight at him torments and shames, I went on. A (Persian) couplet of Muhammad Salih's came into my mind.

— Baburi Andijani, in Jahiruddin Muhammad Babur, Baburnama, Page 120 FARGHANA (q. Babur's first marriage.)

==Context==
[[File:Babur, during his second Hindustan campaign, riding a raft from Kunar back to Atar.jpg|thumb|Babur, during his second Hindustan campaign, riding a raft from Kunar back to Atar]]
The ''Baburnama'' fits into a tradition of imperial autobiographies or official court biographies, seen in various parts of the world. In [[South Asia]] these go back to the ''[[Ashokavadana]]'' and ''[[Harshacharita]]'' from [[ancient India]], the medieval ''[[Prithviraj Raso]]'', and were continued by the Mughals with the ''[[Akbarnama]]'' (biography), ''[[Tuzk-e-Jahangiri]]'' or ''Jahangir-nameh'' (memoirs), and ''[[Shahjahannama]]'' (genre of flattering biographies).{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}

Akbar's ancestor [[Timur]] had been celebrated in a number of works, mostly called ''[[Zafarnama (disambiguation)|Zafarnama]]'' ("Book of Victories"), the [[Zafarnama (Yazdi biography)|best known of which]] was also produced in an illustrated copy in the 1590s by Akbar's workshop. A work purporting to be Timur's autobiography, which turned up in [[Jahangir]]'s library in the 1620s, is now regarded as a fake of that period.<ref name="iranica-hosayni">{{Iranica|abo-taleb-hosaym-arizi}}</ref>

==Praise==
Babur's autobiography has received widespread acclaim from modern scholars. Quoting [[Henry Beveridge (1837–1929)|Henry Beveridge]], [[Stanley Lane-Poole]] writes:
{{Quote|His autobiography is one of those priceless records which are for all time, and is fit to rank with the confessions of [[Augustine of Hippo|St. Augustine]] and [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau|Rousseau]], and the memoirs of [[Edward Gibbon|Gibbon]] and [[Isaac Newton|Newton]]. In Asia it stands almost alone.<ref name="Lane-Poole">{{cite web |last=Lane-pool |first=Stanley |url=https://archive.org/details/babar035008mbp |title=Babar |pages=12–13|publisher=The Clarendon Press |access-date=12 June 2015}}</ref>}}

Lane-Poole goes on to write:

{{Quote|His Memoirs are no rough soldier's chronicle of marches and countermarches... they contain the personal impressions and acute reflections of a cultivated man of the world, well read in Eastern literature, a close and curious observer, quick in perception, a discerning judge of persons, and a devoted lover of nature; one, moreover, who was well able to express his thoughts and observations in clear and vigorous language. The shrewd comments and lively impressions which break in upon the narrative give Babur's reminiscences a unique and penetrating flavour. The man's own character is so fresh and buoyant, so free from convention and cant, so rich in hope, courage, resolve, and at the same time so warm and friendly, so very human, that it conquers one's admiring sympathy.The utter frankness of self-revelation, the unconscious portraiture of all his virtues and follies, his obvious truthfulness and a fine sense of honour, give the Memoirs an authority which is equal to their charm. If ever there were a case when the testimony of a single historical document, unsupported by other evidence, should be accepted as sufficient proof, it is the case with Babur's memoirs. No reader of this prince of autobiographers can doubt his honesty or his competence as witness and chronicler.<ref name = "Lane-Poole"/>}}

Writing about the time Babur came to India, the historian [[Bamber Gascoigne]] comments:
{{Quote|He was occupied at this time in linking in narrative form the jottings which he had made throughout his life as a rough diary, but he also found time for a magnificent and very detailed forty page account of his new acquisition—Hindustan. In it he explains the social structure and the caste system, the geographical outlines and the recent history; he marvels at such details as the Indian method of counting and time-keeping, the inadequacy of the lighting arrangements, the profusion of Indian craftsmen, or the want of good manners, decent trousers and cool streams; but his main emphasis is on the flora and fauna of the country, which he notes with the care of a born naturalist and describes with the eye of a painter...He separates and describes, for example, five types of parrots; he explains how plantain produces banana; and with astonishing scientific observation he announces that the rhinoceros 'resembles the horse more than any other animal' (according to modern zoologists, the order Perissodactyla has only two surviving sub-orders; one includes the rhinoceros, the other the horse). In other parts of the book too he goes into raptures over such images as the changing colors of a flock of geese on the horizon, or of some beautiful leaves on an apple tree. His progression with all its ups and downs from tiny Ferghana to Hindustan would in itself ensure him a minor place in the league of his great ancestors, [[Timur]] and [[Genghis Khan|Jenghiz Khan]]; but the sensitivity and integrity with which he recorded this personal odyssey, from buccaneer with royal blood in his veins reveling in each adventure to emperor eyeing in fascinated amazement every detail of his prize, gives him an added distinction which very few men of action achieve.<ref name="Gascoigne">{{cite book |first=Bamber |last=Gascoigne |title=The Great Moghuls |url=https://archive.org/details/greatmoghuls00gasc |url-access=registration |publisher=London: Jonathan Cape; New York: Harper & Row |year=1971|pages=37–38, 42|isbn=9780060114671 }}</ref>}}
