The &#039;&#039;&#039;Veraval Municipal Council&#039;&#039;&#039;, officially known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Somnath Municipal Council&#039;&#039;&#039;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2021-03-31 |title=Veraval-Patan municipality to be rename as Somnath |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/rajkot/veraval-patan-municipality-to-be-rename-as-somnath/articleshow/81765763.cms |access-date=2026-05-02 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is the municipal governing body of the city [[Veraval]] in the Indian state of [[Gujarat]]. Established in 1950, it is responsible for the administration of civic infrastructure and public services in the city, including water supply, sanitation, road maintenance, and urban planning. It consists of elected representatives from 11 municipal wards, with a total of 44 councillors forming a council. According to the Census of India 2011, Veraval has a population of 185,797.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Veraval Census Town City Population Census 2011-2026 {{!}} Gujarat |url=https://www.census2011.co.in/data/town/513091-veraval-gujarat.html |access-date=2026-05-05 |website=www.census2011.co.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the independence of India in 1947, Veraval was part of the princely state of Junagadh in the Kathiawar region, which functioned under indirect British rule.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=The Imperial Gazetteer of India, Vol. 14 |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1908 |url=https://archive.org/details/imperialgazettee14greauoft}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Administration in Junagadh State was carried out under the authority of the Nawab, with local governance managed through appointed officials rather than elected municipal bodies. Civic functions such as maintenance of roads, sanitation, and port-related activities were overseen by state authorities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Kathiawar |publisher=Government Central Press |year=1884 |url=https://archive.org/details/gazetteerbombay08commgoog}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After integration, the region came under the administrative framework of the former Bombay State. During this period, urban local bodies in smaller towns were governed under laws such as the &#039;&#039;Bombay Municipal Boroughs Act, 1925&#039;&#039;, which provided the statutory basis for municipal administration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Bombay (India) |url=https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Bombay_Act_No_XVIII_of_1925.html?id=tFT2NwAACAAJ&amp;amp;redir_esc=y |title=Bombay Act No. XVIII of 1925: The Bombay Municipal Boroughs Act, 1925, (as Modified Up to the 15th May, 1932). |date=1932 |publisher=Printed at the Government Central Press |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Veraval Municipal Council was formally established in January 1950 as part of efforts to introduce elected local governance and modern civic administration in the region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=District Census Handbook: Junagadh (2011) |url=https://censusindia.gov.in}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the reorganisation of states in 1960 and the formation of Gujarat, the municipal body came under the &#039;&#039;Gujarat Municipalities Act, 1963&#039;&#039;, which continues to regulate municipal councils in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The role of the municipal council was further strengthened by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act in 1992, which granted constitutional status to urban local bodies and expanded their responsibilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=74th Amendment and Municipalities in India {{!}} India |url=https://secforuts.mha.gov.in/74th-amendment-and-municipalities-in-india/ |access-date=2026-05-05 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Administration ==&lt;br /&gt;
The council is headed by a president (chairperson), while administrative functions are carried out by a chief officer appointed by the Government of Gujarat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Functions ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Veraval Municipal Council performs civic and administrative functions as an urban local body in accordance with the provisions of the [[Municipal governance in India|74th Constitutional Amendment Act]]. The functional responsibilities of municipalities in India are outlined in the Twelfth Schedule of the Constitution, which lists subjects related to urban governance.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Twelfth Schedule |url=https://www.constitutionofindia.net/schedules/twelfth-schedule/ |access-date=2026-05-05 |website=Constitution of India |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These functions broadly include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Urban planning and development&#039;&#039;&#039; – including town planning and preparation of development plans  &lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Public health and sanitation&#039;&#039;&#039; – including solid waste management, drainage, and disease control  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Environmental management&#039;&#039;&#039; – urban forestry, protection of the environment, and ecological initiatives  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Fire and emergency services&#039;&#039;&#039; – coordination of fire protection services  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Urban poverty alleviation and welfare&#039;&#039;&#039; – including development programs for weaker sections  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Slum improvement and urban housing&#039;&#039;&#039; – upgrading informal settlements and improving living conditions  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Public amenities&#039;&#039;&#039; – maintenance of parks, gardens, playgrounds, street lighting, and public facilities  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cultural and social development&#039;&#039;&#039; – promotion of educational, cultural, and aesthetic activities  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Vital statistics and civic records&#039;&#039;&#039; – registration of births and deaths  &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Public utilities and regulation&#039;&#039;&#039; – including burial grounds, slaughterhouses, and animal control  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These functions are implemented through various municipal departments and committees, and are supported by state government agencies where required. The exact scope and execution of these responsibilities are determined by state legislation such as the &#039;&#039;Gujarat Municipalities Act, 1963&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Structure and Composition ==&lt;br /&gt;
The council is a unicameral body consisting of 44 elected councillors representing 11 municipal wards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members are elected through the first-past-the-post voting system in elections conducted by the [[Gujarat State Election Commission]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Vangaitang]] range to the east of the Jiribam district is traditionally inhabited by the [[Hmar people|Hmar]] tribes. In 1907, the Jiribam plain was opened for settlement by the Government of Manipur, and it came to be settled by Meiteis and Bengali speakers from the neighbouring [[Cachar district]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;1911 annual report&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Jiribam plain roughly ends at the Sejang (Kuki) village, to the south of which rise the low-lying &amp;quot;Sejang hills&amp;quot;. They intervene between the Jiribam plain and the [[Jiri River]] valley to the west. Sejang Kuki and Mongbung are two [[Thadou Kukis|Thadou Kuki]] villages at the northern periphery of Sejang Hills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between Sejang Hills and the Vangaitang range to the east, runs a two kilometre-wide undulating plain which progressively narrows towards the south. Jarolpokpi, or Zairawn, lies in this plain. &amp;quot;Jarolpokpi&amp;quot; is the Meitei rendition of the original Hmar name, Zairawn.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Between Mongbung and Zairawn, there is a newer Meitei settlement called Mongbung Meitei,{{efn|The Mongbung Meitei village is often referred to as simply &amp;quot;Mongbung&amp;quot; in news media,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IFP 13 Jul&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; which causes considerable confusion. &amp;quot;Mongbung&amp;quot; is said to be [[Thadou language|Thadou Kuki]] name, and rightly belongs to the parent Kuki village.}} on lands which are said to have been granted by the Kuki chief of Mongbung at some time in the past. It is apparently the only exclusively Meitei village in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Jiribam–Tipaimukh Road (&amp;quot;JT Road&amp;quot;), the main highway in the Jiribam district, runs north–south through the Sejang and Mongbung villages. It is the main transportation route for the Sejang area, connecting it to the district headquarters [[Jiribam]]. The southern part of the Jiribam district and [[Pherzawl district]] are accessible through the same road towards south. In addition, the Kashimpur Road runs at the foothills of the Vangaitang range, connecting Jarolpokpi to the [[National Highway 37 (India)|NH37]] near [[Uchathol]] and the village of Kashimpur to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
During the 1950s Jarolpokpi and Mongbung were listed as hill villages.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazette 1956&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{citation |chapter=Notification No. IJ/2/56 |title=Manipur Gazette |date=16 August 1956 |pages=15–16 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.125722/page/n652 |via=archive.org}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The 1971 census described Jarolpokpi as occupying 0.30 hectares and Mongbung 0.25 hectares.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/29401/download/32582/51229_1971_CEN.pdf District Census Handbook: Manipur Central District], Director of Census Operations, Manipur, page 52.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These areas likely represented only the residential areas of the villages. A considerable portion of the forested Sejang Hills area appears to have been under the control of the chiefs of Mongbung, Sejang and another  village called &#039;&#039;&#039;Muolzawl&#039;&#039;&#039;{{efn|Alternative spellings: &amp;quot;Molzol&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IFP 17 Jan 2019&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Moljol&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Noren Ningombam, Karishma Hasnat, [https://theprint.in/india/section-144-imposed-in-manipurs-jiribam-after-police-recover-mutilated-body-houses-burnt-down/2120946/ Section 144 imposed in Manipur’s Jiribam after police recover mutilated body, houses burnt down], The Print, 7 June 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and &amp;quot;Muljol&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazette 1956&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;}} at the southwest perimeter of Sejang Hills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1981, the chief of Mongbung, Seikhothang Haokip, along with the chief of Muolzawl donated 600 acres of land to the Manipur Plantation Crop Corporation, under the Agriculture Department of Manipur, to raise a tea plantation. In return, their villagers were to receive job opportunities in the plantation. The tea estate is said to have functioned for 23 years producing good quality tea, but in 2004, it was wound up due to mismanagement.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Themson&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Having lost the employment on the tea estate, the villagers reverted to the traditional cultivation practices on the land. The chief of Mongbung sent a memorandum to the state chief minister stating that, the tea estate having failed, the land reverted to the original owner as per government rules.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== 2023–2025 Manipur violence ==&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[2023–2025 Manipur violence|ethnic conflict in Manipur]] erupted between the [[Meitei people|Meiteis]] and [[Kuki-Zo people]] on 3 May 2023, the Jiribam district remained relatively peaceful for almost a year. The peace was shattered by twin murders in May–June 2024, the first of a Kuki individual named Seigoulen Singson in May, and the second of a Meitei individual named Soibam Saratkumar Singh in June. Rumours spread that Saratkumar&#039;s body was founded beheaded, inflaming Meitei feelings. Meitei mobs led by [[Arambai Tenggol]] started torching houses in the Jiribam area, inviting retaliation from Kuki mobs. In the ensuing mayhem, the entire population of Hmars and Thadou Kukis from the Jiribam town got displaced to Assam&#039;s Cachar district.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Kuthar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Kuki-Zo villages in the southern hills of the district got cut off from the Jiribam town, which was now under the control of hostile Meitei mobs and militias. In order to obtain supplies, they had to use the river route, the [[Jiri River]] and then the [[Barak River]], leading to Hmarkhawlien.

On 4 July 2024, the Meitei militia Arambai Tenggol and the Pambei faction of the [[United National Liberation Front]] (UNLF), attacked the Mongbung and Sejang villages. The Kukis returned fire leading to a prolonged gun battle. The next day, Manipur state commandos along with central security forces, conducted a combing operation in the Kuki villages, causing the Kukis to go into hiding.

The agreement was disowned by Hmar Inpui. Nevertheless, on 7 August, 135 residents of the Mongbung Meitei village, who had been staying at a relief camp in Jiribam, were escorted back to their homes.

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Krista Purana&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{IPA|/ˈkɾist̪ə puˈɾaːɳə/}}; {{lang-deva|क्रिस्त पुराण}}, {{lit|The [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Puranas]]}}) is an [[epic poem]] on the life of [[Jesus Christ]] written in a mix of [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and [[Konkani language|Konkani]] by English Jesuit priest [[Thomas Stephens (Jesuit)|Thomas Stephens]]. Adopting the literary form of the [[Hindu]] [[puranas]], it retells the entire story of mankind from the creation days to the time of Jesus, in lyrical verse form. The Christian Puranas – 11,000 stanzas of 4 verses – were very popular in the churches of the area where they were sung on special occasions up to the 1930s. Although no copy of the original edition has yet been discovered, it is believed to have been first published at the [[Rachol Seminary|College of Rachol]] in 1616, then re-published posthumously in 1649 and 1654.&lt;br /&gt;

== Manuscripts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== In India ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least five manuscripts of the &#039;&#039;Krista Purana&#039;&#039; have been located to date in [[Goa]], India:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Goa Central Library manuscript: &#039;&#039;Discurso sobre a vinda de Jesu Christo Nosso Salvador ao Mundo dividido em dous tratados feito pelo Padre Thomas Estevão Ingrez da Companhia de Jesus. Impresso em Goa com licenca das Inquisicão, e Ordinario no Collegio de S. Paulo novo de Companhia de Jesu. Anno de 1654, Escripto por Manoel Salvador Rebello, Natural de Margão no Anno 1767.&#039;&#039; (CL)&lt;br /&gt;
# The Pilar manuscript, at the Museum of the Pilar Monastery, Pilar, Goa. (P)&lt;br /&gt;
# The M.C. Saldanha manuscript at the [[Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr]], Alto Porvorim, Goa (TSKK-1). Whether this M.C. Saldanha is the same as the well-known professor [[Mariano Saldanha]] of [[Ucassaim]], Goa, is yet to be established. But from the fact that the manuscript has been bound in Kodailbail, Mangalore, it is highly probable that this is one of the 5 manuscript used by J.L. Saldanha in the preparation of his 1907 edition of the &#039;&#039;Krista Purana&#039;&#039;.{{sfn|Saldanha|1907|p=iii}}&lt;br /&gt;
# Another manuscript at the [[Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr]] (TSKK-2).&lt;br /&gt;
# The Bhaugun Kamat Vagh manuscript in the Pissurlencar Collection at the Goa University Library (BKV).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from CL, the manuscripts are not dated. The chronology will therefore have to be established from internal evidence, taking into account the terminology (Romanized or Sanskritized), the number of cantos and strophes, the interpolations, the Praise of Marathi (missing in the Marsden manuscript), the chapter on the Miracle at Cana (missing in the Marsden manuscript), etc. This will also help us move closer to establishing whether or not the Sanskritized M was the &#039;original&#039; text of the &#039;&#039;Krista Purana&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least two manuscripts of the &#039;&#039;Krista Purana&#039;&#039; have been located to date in [[Mangalore]], India:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Manuscript, Kannada script. Carmelite Monastery, Kulshekara, Mangalore. See Fr Santhamayor. &lt;br /&gt;

Lakshmana fought from the Kaurava side, supporting his father [[Duryodhana]], the leader of the Kauravas. On the second day of the Kurukshetra War, a furious melee ensued between Lakshmana and [[Abhimanyu]], the son of Pandava [[Arjuna]]. When Abhimanyu was on the cusp of victory, Duryodhana rushed to his son&#039;s aid.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Mackenzie |first=Donald Alexander |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1vT3DwAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=Lakshmana+son+of+Duryodhana&amp;amp;pg=PA254 |title=Indian Myth and Legend |date=2020-08-15 |publisher=BoD – Books on Demand |isbn=978-3-7524-4315-8 |pages=254 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the twelfth day of the war, Lakshmana injured Kshatradeva, the son of warrior [[Shikhandi]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RWQ-AAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=kshatradeva+lakshmana&amp;amp;pg=PT60 |title=The Mahabharata: Volume 7 |date=2015-06-01 |publisher=Penguin UK |isbn=978-81-8475-944-0 |pages=60 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the thirteenth day of the war, Lakshmana was stationed near his father, fighting his foes with great prowess. When Abhimanyu approached Lakshmana Kumara, the former was assailed with arrows on his arms and chest. Enraged, Abhimanyu employed a broad-headed arrow, which beheaded Lakshmana. In retaliation, Duryodhana rallied a number of powerful [[Kaurava]] warriors to attack Abhimanyu simultaneously, resulting in his death.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Bibek Debroy |url=http://archive.org/details/the-mahabharata-set-of-10-volumes-by-bibek-debroy-veda-vyasa-vyasa-veda-vyas-z-lib.org |title=The Mahabharata, 10 Volumes by B. Debroy |pages=3686}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the conclusion of the war, the death of Lakshmana is mourned by his [[Wives of Duryodhana|mother]]. When the sage [[Vyasa]], through his yogic powers, facilitated a vision for Pandava and Kaurava matriarchs{{mdash}}[[Kunti]] and [[Gandhari (Mahabharata)|Gandhari]] respectively{{mdash}}to see the deceased warriors, Lakshmana was among those who appeared.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Sasirekha Parinayam ===&lt;br /&gt;
In a folktale called the [[Sasirekha Parinayam]], a tale about Lakshmana&#039;s life prior to Kurukshetra War is narrated. Duryodhana&#039;s teacher, [[Balarama]], arranged the marriage of his daughter [[Sasirekha]] (also called Vatsala) with Lakshmana. However, Krishna, Balarama&#039;s younger brother, sought to strengthen the ties of his own family with that of Arjuna. As part of a ploy, he invited his sister, [[Subhadra]], and her son, Abhimanyu, to his house while the wedding preparations  were underway. Abhimanyu and Sasirekha fell in love and subsequently eloped. This incident brought much shame to Balarama, and served to infuriate Duryodhana.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Vemsani |first=Lavanya |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4fw2DAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;dq=Lakshmana+Duryodhana&amp;amp;pg=PA16 |title=Krishna in History, Thought, and Culture: An Encyclopedia of the Hindu Lord of Many Names: An Encyclopedia of the Hindu Lord of Many Names |date=2016-06-13 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-1-61069-211-3 |pages=16 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Dandupur&#039;&#039;&#039; is a village in the Chaka Mandal of [[Prayagraj district]], India. At a distance of 10 kilometres from [[Prayagraj]], the village almost finds itself in the main city. Very soon, this once village shall witness municipal corporation elections, thereby redefining the limits of the city of Prayagraj and bringing the place within the limits of the main city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History== &lt;br /&gt;
The name Dandupur is based on &amp;quot;Dandu&amp;quot; who was the elder son of a [[zamindar]] who is believed to be the forefather of the villagers. Dandupur belongs to the Shia Muslim Community and holds up a mixed cultural fabric. It has old mosques and Imambaras that have great historic value. After independence, the ending of the [[zamindari]] system and the issuing of the Privy Purse to the zamindars and  [[talukdar]]s from the India Government, last Zamindar of Dandupur Late Mr Inamul Hussain, son of Late Zamindar Mr Ali Jawad was elected the first Pradhan of Dandupur village. At present it is counted as a developed village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Economy==&lt;br /&gt;
During the British period Dandupur used to be a rich village with most of the inhabitants owning large pieces of land.  However, this has changed after independence as owning lands or the feudal system was abolished. &lt;br /&gt;
The following generation of the village excelled in the field of education and reached to high ranks in India and abroad thus uplifting the economic position of the village.  Nowadays as the economy of Prayagraj has been improving with the influence of that economy of Dandupur has been flourishing. &lt;br /&gt;
In the new master plan Dandupur will come under Prayagraj city.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Jai, Lava, and Kusa are identical [[triplets]] raised by their maternal uncle after their mother’s death. Though Jai loves his brothers deeply, he is mistreated due to his [[stammering]], a condition that leads to his exclusion from drama performances, despite his talent. Lava and Kusa, favored by the uncle, also begin to sideline and humiliate Jai. Jai, hurt and enraged, sets fire to the stage and flees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twenty years later, the brothers lead separate lives. Kusa becomes a happy-go-lucky mugger, aiming to escape to the [[United States|U.S.]] but fails due to [[2016 Indian banknote demonetisation|demonetisation]]. In his escape, he crosses paths with Lava, now a principled bank manager whose good nature gets him into trouble. Lava lost his job after unknowingly sanctioning a loan misused to open a beer shop. Meanwhile, he fell in love with Priya, a marriage broker, and wins her heart. Kusa impersonates Lava to steal money from the bank, betraying his brother and disappearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Priya vanishes, and Lava is wrongly accused of kidnapping her. The situation worsens when the bank footage reveals Lava stealing money, actually done by Kusa. Lava confronts Kusa, who admits to the theft but denies kidnapping Priya. Both realize their third brother, Jai, might be alive. A police officer named Kaakha, Jai’s mentor—reveals Jai&#039;s transformation into [[Ravana|Ravan]], a ruthless crime lord and aspiring politician. Jai had staged the fire years ago and fled, eventually becoming a powerful figure involved in organised crime in Odisha. Kaakha brings Lava and Kusa to Jai, who plans to use them to gain public sympathy and win the election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravan (Jai) reveals he manipulated everything, kidnapping Priya and stealing the money to test his brothers’ loyalty. He demands they take on new roles: Lava to act as Ravan for the public and Kusa to woo Simran, a woman who despises Ravan. Lava, filled with remorse, tries to bring Jai back with Priya’s help. Kusa, meanwhile, joins forces with Simran, who seeks revenge for her brother’s death linked to Ravana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lava gains public support impersonating Ravan, Kusa tries to reclaim the stolen money. Ravan overhears a plan to expose him and becomes violent, plotting to kill his brothers. He rigs a car with a bomb, intending to eliminate them. Lava and Kusa realise his plan but choose to ride the car anyway, hoping to change Jai’s heart. Their uncle pleads for their lives, but Ravan is unmoved. A twist unfolds when Sarkar, an enemy of Ravan, stops the car. Believing only two brothers exist, he demands to know who Ravan is. Both claim to be him. Sarkar shoots Lava, suspecting Lava is the real Ravan. A fight breaks out, but Jai arrives just in time, saving them and killing Sarkar. Gravely wounded, Jai finally expresses his love for his brothers before dying, redeeming himself in their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

In July 2017, there were reports claimed that the script of the film was stolen from director [[Puri Jagannadh]]. It was initially proposed that Puri and Jr NTR were supposed to do a film together and had discussed a similar character during their meeting last December. While the film was expected to be made on a huge scale the makers, but it didn&#039;t materialise following certain creative differences, as Jr. NTR had liked the script, but wanted a few changes to the background story, whereas Puri didn&#039;t agree with him and said. A source from the film&#039;s team claimed that, &amp;quot;When Puri watched the first teaser of the film, which released on 6 July 2017, he realised that the Jai&#039;s characterisation is exactly what he had proposed to Jr NTR for their film. Since his main plot has already been stolen, Puri cannot go ahead and make the film. He will have to scrap the story, which was supposed to translate into a {{INR}}100 crore film.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |title=Did NTR steal Puri&#039;s script? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/did-ntr-steal-puris-script/articleshow/59505342.cms |access-date=12 January 2021 |website=The Times of India |language=en |archive-date=9 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171009234534/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/did-ntr-steal-puris-script/articleshow/59505342.cms |url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Francisco Fernandes&#039;&#039;&#039; (12 January 1940 – 9 February 1980), known professionally as &#039;&#039;&#039;Francis de Paroda&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Shalibai&#039;&#039;&#039;, was an Indian actor, singer, and composer known for his work in &#039;&#039;[[Tiatr#Khell tiatr|khell]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]&#039;&#039; (theatre) productions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Francisco Fernandes was born on 12 January 1940 in the village of [[Salcete#Salcette territory|Paroda]], [[Goa]], which was part of [[Portuguese India]] during the [[Portuguese Empire]] (now located in India) to Peter Fernandes. The Fernandes family established their residence in the village of [[Benaulim]], Goa, attracted by the favorable conditions available for expanding their [[toddy tapping]] enterprise in the region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Fernandes was a versatile artist known for his proficiency as a composer, singer, and [[character actor]]. His talent extended beyond his musical contributions, as he made an impact in the realm of traditional [[Goan]] [[street play]]s known as &#039;&#039;[[Tiatr#Khell tiatr|khell]]&#039;&#039;. While initially gaining recognition in &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]s&#039;&#039;, a distinctive form of Goan [[musical theater]], Fernandes garnered acclaim for his [[Cross-gender acting|portrayal of female characters]] through his adeptness as a [[Drag queen|female impersonator]]. Fernandes became a popular figure in the world of &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; performances, particularly in the &#039;&#039;fell&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;khells&#039;&#039; crafted by [[Konkani language|Konkani]] &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; playwright A. Moraes in the [[Salcete]] [[taluka]] region. His portrayal of a [[Hindu]] female character named &amp;quot;Xalibai&amp;quot; or Shalibai was so memorable that he earned the [[moniker]] &amp;quot;Shalibai&amp;quot; from his audiences. Fernandes later ventured into creating his own &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; productions, solidifying his position as a [[Acting coach|teacher]] and mentor in the realm of [[folk play]]s. Among Fernandes&#039;s &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; works are &#039;&#039;Kaido Kumparponnacho&#039;&#039; (Rule of an Affair), &#039;&#039;Bodmas&#039;&#039; (Wicked), &#039;&#039;Noxib&#039;&#039; (Luck), &#039;&#039;Dothichem Kestaum&#039;&#039; (Quarrel of Dhoti), and &#039;&#039;Corit To Bhogit&#039;&#039; (You reap what you sow). The mere announcement of &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Xalibayelo fell yeta&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; (Shalibai&#039;s &#039;&#039;fell&#039;&#039; is coming) would generate eager anticipation and enthusiasm within the community, regardless of whether Fernandes was the creator of the production or partaking in the presentations of other &#039;&#039;khell [[mistri|mestris]]&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; teachers).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Da Costa |first=Fausto V. |title=TIATR 125th Anniversary Commemorative Volume |publisher=[[Tiatr Academy of Goa]] |year=2019 |location=[[Panaji, Goa]] |pages=205}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Fernandes&#039;s contributions solidified his status as one of the popular &#039;&#039;khell mestris&#039;&#039;, alongside figures like Niclau Marian from Vhodlem Bhatt, [[Benaulim]], Don Toclo from [[Colva]], F. Coloi, and Bhataghotto.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Verdes |first=Edward |date=28 January 2008 |title=Zomni khell during the Carnival |url=http://www.goa-world.com/goa/index.html |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=Goa World|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080210100925/http://www.goa-world.com/goa/index.html |archive-date=2008-02-10 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Additionally, he gained recognition and popularity as a &#039;&#039;khellgoddo&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; actor).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Mazarello |first=Wilson |title=Konkani Khell Tiatr |publisher=[[Dalgado Konknni Akademi]] |date=10 March 2018 |location=Panaji, Goa |pages=xi, 3, 6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fernandes was also described as a figure among the early &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; performers, alongside artists such as Anton Marie, [[Santiago Pereira]], Menino Afonso, Marian Silva, Diniz Sequeira, Antonio Moraes, [[Patrick Dourado]], Khell Jose, Buk Buko, Don Toclo, [[Xempea Minguel]], [[Khadda Minguel]], Socorro Piedade Fernandes, and Magnier Rod. Active during the 1960s, they made significant contributions to the traditional Goan street plays also known as &#039;&#039;zom&#039;nivoilea khell&#039;&#039;. Even today, Fernandes and his fellow artists are remembered for their &#039;&#039;[[Tiatr#Songs|cantos]]&#039;&#039; (songs). Their plays were regarded as enlightening, with the opening and featured songs being particularly praised for their delightful nature. In addition, the music of Fernandes and other artists was quite regarded in the past, but today in the contemporary &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; era, there are a multitude of musicians contributing to the scene. The lyrics of their play songs often took the form of [[riddle]]s or [[proverbs]]. One distinguishing aspect of Fernandes&#039; music and that of his contemporaries was its roots in the teachings of &#039;&#039;khell mestris&#039;&#039; (teachers). In the &#039;&#039;zomnivoilea khell&#039;&#039; tradition, singers would frequently perform long, intricate songs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Viegas |first=Osvi |date=30 May 2021 |title=Tiatrachim Kantaram Ani Songit |url=https://issuu.com/fngoa/docs/gulab_may_2021 |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=Gulab |language=gom |archive-date=2024-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429133748/https://issuu.com/fngoa/docs/gulab_may_2021 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Fernandes himself was a &#039;&#039;khellam mestri&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;khell xikoupi&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; teacher) of the era, actively engaged in teaching and staging &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; performances.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Xallibai, also known as Shalibai, was a prominent character in &#039;&#039;[[Tiatr#Khell tiatr|khell]]&#039;&#039; [[folklore]], immortalized alongside other figures like Battagotto (boiled rice grain) and Coli (tin). Xallibai was portrayed by Fernandes,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; who was among the deferential actors of the time, some of whom lacked formal education. The scripts used in the past &#039;&#039;khell&#039;&#039; performances of Fernandes&#039;s and artistes alike, were regarded for their richness and distinctiveness compared to contemporary &#039;&#039;[[tiatr]]&#039;&#039; productions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Khell Tiatr – A unique aspect of the Goan Carnival |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Khell-Tiatr-%E2%80%93-A-unique-aspect-of-the-Goan-Carnival/126887 |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=oHeraldo |date=31 August 2022 |archive-date=2024-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429133749/https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Khell-Tiatr-%E2%80%93-A-unique-aspect-of-the-Goan-Carnival/126887 |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Theater director [[Roseferns]] observed that the emergence of commercial &#039;&#039;tiatr&#039;&#039; productions has been a key factor in the waning influence and viewership of &#039;&#039;khell tiatr&#039;&#039; performances within the theatrical landscape.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2013-02-12 |title=&#039;Once-popular khells now dwindling in popularity&#039; |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/once-popular-khells-now-dwindling-in-popularity/articleshow/18456352.cms |access-date=2024-04-29 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=2024-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429133747/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/once-popular-khells-now-dwindling-in-popularity/articleshow/18456352.cms |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The introduction of John de Parra (Antonio Jose Trindade) as a prompter in [[Carnival]] &#039;&#039;khells&#039;&#039;, typically staged during the [[Carnival in Goa|Carnival season in Goa]], was a contribution made by Fernandes.

==Personal life==&lt;br /&gt;
Not much is known about Fernandes&#039;s early or personal life, and very little information about him is available both online and offline.

[[File:The Fernhills Palace, Ooty.jpg|thumb|Fernhills Palace]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fernhill Palace&#039;&#039;&#039; was the erstwhile summer residence of the [[Maharaja of Mysore]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ootacamund&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web | url=http://www.ootacamund.com/Attractions.htm | website=www.ootacamund.com | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090228191725/http://www.ootacamund.com/Attractions.htm | archive-date=2009-02-28 | title=Local Attractions}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The first Fernhills bungalow was built in 1851 as a private residence in the hill station [[Ooty]] in the Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. In the 1990s, Fernhill Palace became a heritage hotel&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Fernhills Palace Hotel, Ooty, South India - Corinthian Travel |url=https://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk/hotels/fernhills-palace-ooty-india}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and today it is considered a luxury resort, attracting visitors from around the world. The palace resembles a Swiss Chalet with its carved wooden bargeboards and ornamental cast iron. The palace grounds with its manicured gardens, firs and cedars accentuate the alpine look of the place. There is a church-like indoor badminton court on the grounds.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ootacamund&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The first Fernhills bungalow was built in 1851 by Capt. F. Cotton. It changed hands over some time till mid-1860 when it was temporarily named Moonesami and served as one of Ooty&#039;s earliest country clubs. During the time of the [[British Raj]], the English elite would flee the hot and muggy plains of the [[Madras Presidency]] and take sanctuary in the cool climes of Ooty, with its expanses of hills and terraced tea gardens. Its popularity never waned and has grown to include holidaymakers, honeymooners, film units and boarding schools.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;FootprintSouthIndia&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The palace was converted into a luxury hotel by [[Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=28 Dec 2013 |title=Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar: Obituaries Last scion of the royal family of Mysore who became an MP, fashion designer and hotelier |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10539453/Srikantadatta-Narasimharaja-Wadiyar-obituary.html |access-date=3 January 2026 |work=The Daily Telegraph |pages=29}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

In the age of 19, he became a scholar of [[Vedas|Vedic literature]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2025-12-02 |title=कौन हैं 19 साल के देवव्रत महेश रेखे, जो 200 साल बाद बने वेदमूर्ति, पीएम मोदी ने भी की तारीफ |url=https://www.timesnowhindi.com/spirituality/devavrat-mahesh-rekhe-kaun-hai-becomes-vedamurti-at-the-age-of-19-pm-modi-praises-him-see-full-details-article-153234930 |access-date=2025-12-03 |website=Times Now Navbharat |language=hi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Achievements ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[Sringeri Sharada Peetham|Sringeri Math]], he completed the Dandakrama Parayanam in the original classical form recitation of the mantras in the Madhyandini Shakha of the Shukla Yajurveda in the time span of 50 days. He recited nearly 2000 mantras of the ancient Vedic text in the 50 days. This discipline of chanting the Vedic mantras is regarded as the “crown jewel” in the tradition. It is said that the labyrinthine phonetic architecture of the Vedic chanting in its original form is recorded only three times in the known history of the tradition in the last 200 years.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

After the completion of the Dandakrama Parayanam recitation of the Shukla Yajurveda, he received recognition from the spiritual community of the Vedic tradition. He was also praised by the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Narendra Modi]] of India for his historic record of the achievement. Apart from the emotional and appraisal recognitions, he was also honoured with a golden bracelet worth ₹5 lakh and a cash reward of ₹1,11,116 by the &#039;&#039;Jagadguru [[Shankaracharya]]s&#039;&#039; of the [[Sringeri Sharada Peetham|Dakshinamnaya Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham]] as blessings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lynching of Anjel Chakma&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to the fatal stabbing and death of &#039;&#039;&#039;Anjel Chakma,&#039;&#039;&#039; a 24‑year‑old MBA student from [[Tripura]], [[India]], following a violent, racially charged assault in [[Dehradun]], [[Uttarakhand]], in December 2025. Prior to the incident, Chakma and his younger brother were subjected to repeated ethnic epithets such as &amp;quot;Chinki&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Chinese&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Momo&amp;quot; because of their [[North-east India|northeastern Indian appearance]]. During the attack, Chakma was stabbed and later died on 26 December 2025 after 17 days in hospital, while his brother sustained non‑fatal injuries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=&#039;Oye Chinese, have you come to buy pork?&#039;: Racial taunts led to fatal stabbing in Dehradun |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/oye-chinese-have-you-come-to-buy-pork-how-racial-taunts-led-to-tripura-students-killing-in-dehradun/articleshow/126211432.cms |work=The Times of India |date=28 December 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=&#039;They called him Chinese and momo&#039;: Racial attack snuffs out young life |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/they-called-him-chinese-and-momo-he-said-hes-from-tripura-in-dehradun-racial-attack-snuffs-out-young-life-10443877/ |work=The Indian Express |date=30 December 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The incident sparked nationwide protests and compelled [[Uttarakhand Police]] to form a [[Special Investigation Team (India)|SIT]] to probe Chakma&#039;s death.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Tripura student Anjel Chakma’s death: What we know so far |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tripura-student-angel-chakma-death-mob-attack-what-we-know-so-far/article70452233.ece |website=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=16 January 2026 |language=en-IN |date=30 December 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Considered among the top echelon of leg spinners, Chandrasekhar along with [[E.A.S.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
Chandrasekhar was born in 1945 in [[Mysore]], where he had his primary education.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Muddie|first=Raggi|title=The Spin Wizard – B S Chandrashekhar|url=http://www.karnataka.com/personalities/bs-chandrashekhar/|publisher=Karnataka.com|access-date=14 April 2013|date=27 September 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He developed an early interest in cricket watching the playing styles of Australian leg spinner [[Richie Benaud]]. An attack of polio at the age of six left his right arm withered. At the age of 10, his hand had recovered and Chandrasekhar started playing cricket.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By that time his family relocated to [[Bangalore]] and he got an opportunity to play for &amp;quot;City Cricketers&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie/&amp;gt; In an interview, Chandrasekhar stated that he joined up mainly to get a chance to play with the leather ball.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie/&amp;gt; While playing on the streets of Bangalore, he had mainly used a rubber ball. While playing for the club, Chandrasekhar tried different bowling styles that also included fast bowling.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie/&amp;gt; It was in 1963 that he decided to play as a leg spin bowler. His idea proved to be right as he was soon selected for the national team.&amp;lt;ref name=raggie/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Making his Test debut for India against England at Bombay in 1964, he collected four wickets in the match. He was named the &#039;&#039;[[Indian Cricket (annual)|Indian Cricket]]&#039;&#039; Cricketer of the Year the same year. Chandrasekhar was influential in setting up India&#039;s first victory in England when he picked up six wickets for 38 runs at [[The Oval]] in 1971; the bowling was named the &amp;quot;Indian Bowling performance of the century&amp;quot; by &#039;&#039;Wisden&#039;&#039; in 2002.&amp;lt;ref name=profile&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Players / India / Bhagwath Chandrasekhar|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/27591.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=14 April 2013|author=H Natarajan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Wisden&#039;&#039; noted that he was &amp;quot;wonderfully accurate for a bowler of his type, and his extra pace made him a formidable proposition even on the sluggish Oval pitch.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=martin&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Williamson|first=Martin|title=India&#039;s day of glory|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/527248.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=14 April 2013|date=13 August 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His consistent bowling performances in 1971 earned him being named one of the five &#039;&#039;[[Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanack|Wisden]]&#039;&#039; [[Wisden Cricketer of the Year|Cricketers of the Year]] in 1972.&amp;lt;ref name=profile/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Test against New Zealand in 1976, Chandrasekhar and Prasanna took 19 wickets and were crucial in setting up India&#039;s win. Attributed to him is a famous umpire-directed quote, made during a day of bad decisions in New Zealand after several of his [[leg before wicket|lbw]] appeals were given not out: &amp;quot;I know he is bowled, but is he out?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation | url=http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=129115 | title=India&#039;s Aussie tour: Sissy Australians and dumb umpires | periodical=Merinews | date=6 January 2008 | access-date=26 August 2009 | archive-date=9 November 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109001955/http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=129115 | url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation | url=http://www.rediff.com/sports/1999/oct/23dilip.htm | title=Nothing to Crowe about | author=Dilip Vengsarkar | periodical=Rediff | date=23 October 1999}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chandrasekhar also played a major role in India&#039;s victory in Australia in 1977–78.&amp;lt;ref name=rajesh/&amp;gt; During that series he became the first bowler to register identical figures in each innings of a test (6 for 52).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/steve-okeefe-turns-india-australia-test-into-a-cricket-statisticians-delight-580461|title=Steve O&#039;Keefe turns India-Australia Test into a cricket statistician&#039;s delight|last=Kumar|first=Abhishek|date=25 February 2017|work=Cricket Country|access-date=29 March 2017|language=en-us}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[CNN International]] only reached the urban population in India. To reach the Indian masses [[Turner Broadcasting System]] together with an Indian company, Global Broadcast News (currently [[TV18|TV18 Broadcast Limited]]), launched the channel in India as CNN-IBN on 18 December 2005. The channel was completely run by TV18 Broadcast Limited, which only used the [[CNN|Cable News Network]] (CNN) brand name.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;URohn&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last=Rohn |first=Ulrike |date=2009 |title=Cultural Barriers to the Success of Foreign Media Content: Western Media in China, India, and Japan |location=Frankfurt |publisher=[[Peter Lang (publisher)|Peter Lang]] |pages=278–279, 293 |isbn=978-3-63159-430-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, Time Warner&#039;s India-specific CNN-News18 is watched by more people than its CNN International sister network, although both channels are in English.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;URohn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Network 18, since its inception, the channel has been reaching out to an average of 45&amp;amp;nbsp;million households every day.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.network18online.com/aboutus.html |title=About Network18 |website=Network18online.com |access-date=14 May 2018 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140531220300/http://www.network18online.com/aboutus.html |archive-date=31 May 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, it was announced that a licensing agreement between Turner Broadcasting and Network 18 had not been renewed and would expire in January 2016.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=CNN, IBN unlikely to renew deal on branding; Zee could step in |url=https://www.livemint.com/Consumer/r2nPBBZBv30GGOE2gzv8JO/CNN-IBN-may-not-renew-deal-on-branding-Zee-could-step-in.html |first=Shuchi |last=Bansal |date=18 July 2015 |website=[[LiveMint]] |access-date=28 October 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=CNN-IBN likely to end licensing agreement with Turner after a decade |url=https://brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/media/cnn-ibn-likely-to-end-licensing-agreement-with-turner-after-a-decade/47864782 |date=29 June 2015 |website=[[The Economic Times]] |access-date=28 October 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |title=CNN to End India Network Deal |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cnn-end-india-network-deal-805630 |date=29 June 2015 |first=Nyay |last=Bhushan |newspaper=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |access-date=28 October 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1 December 2015, it was announced the brand licensing had been renewed for another term.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=TV18 and CNN to continue their partnership for second term |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcZDGxta0_4  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322124558/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcZDGxta0_4 |archive-date=22 March 2016 |url-status=dead|publisher=CNN-News18 |date=30 November 2015 |website=YouTube |access-date=2 December 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 18 April 2016, it was rebranded as CNN-News18, and began using the slogan &amp;quot;On Your Side&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=CNN IBN hits refresh button, is now CNN News18 |url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/cnn-ibn-hits-refresh-button-is-now-cnn-news18-2-2735270.html |work=Firstpost |date=18 April 2016 |access-date=24 January 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The channel has been criticised as being a part of pro-[[Modi government]] &amp;quot;[[Godi media]]&amp;quot; news outlets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sandhu, Amandeep, and Gurshamshir Singh Waraich. &amp;quot;[https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003515050-19/protest-amandeep-sandhu-gurshamshir-singh-waraich The Protest: A Battle of Media Narratives].&amp;quot; In The Indian Farmers’ Protest of 2020–2021, pp. 187-202.

==Controversies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Commonwealth Games Contract===&lt;br /&gt;
On 5 August 2011 [[Comptroller and Auditor General of India]]&#039;s report on [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] was tabled in [[Parliament of India]]. In section 14.4.2 of the report, CAG alleged that while awarding contracts worth Rs 37.8&amp;amp;nbsp;million for production &amp;amp; broadcasting of commercials for promoting CWG-2010 to CNN-IBN &amp;amp; [[NDTV]], the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee followed an arbitrary approach. Proposals were considered in an ad hoc manner, as and when a proposal was received; no form of competitive tendering was adopted. The CAG further said in its report that, &amp;quot;We had no assurance about the competitiveness of the rates quoted by these channels and the need and usefulness of these proposals. From March 2010 to June 2010, the entire pre-games publicity and sponsorship publicity was done only on NDTV &amp;amp; CNN-IBN.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite report |date=5 August 2011 |title=Performance Audit Report on XIX Commonwealth Games (CWG-2010) |chapter-url=https://saiindia.gov.in/sites/default/files/audit_report_files/Union_Performance_Civil_XIXth_Commonwealth_Games_6_2011_chapter_14.pdf |publisher=[[Comptroller &amp;amp; Auditor General of India]] |chapter=Games Branding |page=221 |access-date=14 May 2018 |archive-date=28 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728172108/https://saiindia.gov.in/sites/default/files/audit_report_files/Union_Performance_Civil_XIXth_Commonwealth_Games_6_2011_chapter_14.pdf |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=CAG blames top media houses in Commonwealth Games Scam |url=http://www.newsofdelhi.com/featured-post/cag-report-names-ndtvcnn-ibnhindustantimes-in-cwg-scam |date=12 August 2011 |website=News of Delhi |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120106011632/http://www.newsofdelhi.com/featured-post/cag-report-names-ndtvcnn-ibnhindustantimes-in-cwg-scam |archive-date=6 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite magazine |title=Games contracts to media houses arbitrary and biased: CAG |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/games-contracts-to-media-houses-arbitrary-and-biased-cag-report-139134-2011-08-10 |date=11 August 2011 |magazine=[[India Today]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fake Twitter comments===&lt;br /&gt;
A controversy about some [[Twitter bot|fake Twitter comments]] that ran on the screen during a news show raised questions about the reliability of instant feedback from viewers, which was criticised. The officials later apologised, saying that the source of viewer comments was wrongly stated as Twitter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |first=Priscilla |last=Jebaraj |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article961539.ece |title=Fake tweets aired on TV news show |date=19 December 2010 |newspaper=The Hindu |access-date=7 June 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fake live debate===&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2012, on its prime time show &#039;&#039;Face The Nation&#039;&#039;, the channel broadcast a pre-recorded and edited interview of [[Ravi Shankar (spiritual leader)|Ravi Shankar]], falsely presenting it as a live television debate. The show was hosted by the deputy editor of the channel, [[Sagarika Ghose]], the wife of the channel&#039;s editor, [[Rajdeep Sardesai]]. On public outcry, the anchor issued a public apology on Twitter, web and TV.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;twitter1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite tweet |user=sagarikaghose |number=134331682592538624 |date=9 November 2011 |title=Deeply apologetic about Sri Sri disc... |access-date=2 July 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/a-clarification-and-apology/200893-3.html |title=Face The Nation: A clarification and an apology |date=10 November 2011 |website=IBN Live |access-date=21 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111224143706/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/a-clarification-and-apology/200893-3.html |archive-date=24 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The episode has not been hosted on the show&#039;s homepage.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ibnlive1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/show/v/Face+the+Nation.html |title=Face the Nation Shows Videos-Watch Most viewed videos of Face the Nation |website=IBN Live |access-date=12 December 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223014614/http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/show/v/Face+the+Nation.html |archive-date=23 February 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Simhavishnu&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[IAST]]: Siṃhaviṣṇu), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Avanisimha&#039;&#039;&#039;, son of [[Simhavarman III]], was a king of the [[Pallava dynasty]] responsible for its revival. He was the first Pallava monarch whose domain extended beyond [[Kanchipuram]] (Kanchi) to the south. He is portrayed as a great conqueror in &#039;&#039;[[Mattavilasa Prahasana]]&#039;&#039;, a drama written by his son [[Mahendravarman I]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reign ==&lt;br /&gt;
There is no exact academic consensus regarding the period of Simhavishnu&#039;s reign. Different scholars propose the following timelines:&lt;br /&gt;
* K. A. Nilakanta Sastri: 555–590 CE&amp;lt;ref name=sastri135&amp;gt;Sastri (2008), p. 135&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Sailendra Nath Sen: 575–600 CE&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sen2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=41–42}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* T. V. Mahalingam: 575–615 CE&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on available [[Hero stone]]s, he ruled for at least 33 years.&amp;lt;ref name=sastri135/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Expansion of kingdom ==&lt;br /&gt;
When Simhavishnu ascended the throne, the Pallava dynasty was beginning to reassert its supremacy. At that time, the southern peninsula of India was ruled by five dynasties: the Pallavas, [[Chola dynasty|Cholas]], and [[Pandya dynasty|Pandyas]] in [[Tamil Nadu]] and [[Andhra Pradesh]]; the [[Chera dynasty|Cheras]] in [[Kerala]]; and the [[Chalukya dynasty|Chalukyas]] in [[Karnataka]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simhavishnu overthrew the [[Kalabhras]] and conquered the region up to the [[Kaveri River]], where he came into conflict with the Pandyas and Ceylon.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sastri135&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He is also credited with establishing Kanchipuram as a powerful capital. The presence of Pallava influence in [[Southeast Asia]]—attested by art and [[Grantha script]] inscriptions in countries like [[Thailand]], [[Laos]], and [[Cambodia]]—is often traced back to the maritime foundations laid during this period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The struggle between the Pallavas and the Chalukyas, which would last for more than two centuries, began during his reign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Contribution to literature ==&lt;br /&gt;
Simhavishnu was a patron of the [[Sanskrit]] poet [[Bharavi]], author of the epic &#039;&#039;[[Kiratarjuniya]]&#039;&#039;, which depicts the duel between [[Lord Shiva|Shiva]] and [[Arjuna]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=fTLlcGlkdjkC&amp;amp;dq=pasupata&#039;+missile&amp;amp;pg=PA200 David Smith, &#039;&#039;The Dance of Siva: Religion, Art and Poetry in South India,&#039;&#039; Cambridge (2004) p. 200] {{ISBN|0-521-52865-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The structure of the work suggests it was intended for &#039;&#039;[[Koodiyattam]]&#039;&#039; performances during temple festivals, a tradition that continues to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religious affiliation ==&lt;br /&gt;
Simhavishnu was a follower of [[Vaishnavism]], as evidenced by the [[Tamil copper-plate inscriptions|Udayendiram copper plates]] of [[Nandivarman II]]. This is significant as his son, Mahendravarman I, was initially a follower of [[Jainism]] before converting to [[Shaivism]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A portrait of Simhavishnu can be seen in the stone engravings at the [[Varaha Cave Temple]] (Adivaraha Mandapam) in [[Mahabalipuram]], a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]] that stands as a testament to Pallava art.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Madhavaram&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a village in [[NTR district]] in the state of [[Andhra Pradesh]] in [[India]]. This village&#039;s demographic has significant contributions to the Indian armed forces. Referred to as &#039;&#039;Military Madhavaram&#039;&#039; for its strong military tradition, the village has a legacy of service dating back to the colonial era, with many residents serving in both World Wars. Today, it remains a hub for recruitment into the Indian military, with around 250 soldiers currently serving. &#039;&#039;&#039;Madhavaram&#039;&#039;&#039; is also home to a war memorial, a tribute to its servicemen and their sacrifices.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Pal |first=Sanchari |date=2016-09-26 |title=This Small Andhra Village Has an Army Man in Almost Every Household! |url=https://thebetterindia.com/69526/military-madhavaram-andhra-pradesh/ |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=The Better India |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Culture ==&lt;br /&gt;
The local culture highly values military service, with many families across generations taking pride in enlisting. This tradition has led the Indian Defense Ministry to recognize Madhavaram&#039;s unique status and plan the establishment of an Army Training Center in the village. Additionally, the local &#039;&#039;&#039;Poleramma&#039;&#039;&#039; temple holds a special place in the community, as residents believe its blessings protect the servicemen on the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Origin ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sankadi Muni Bhagavan.jpg|thumb|Four Kumaras]]&lt;br /&gt;

The Kumaras were the first such beings. They were created from his mind and appeared as infants. Brahma ordered them to aid in the creation, but as manifestations of &#039;&#039;[[sattva]]&#039;&#039; (purity), and uninterested in worldly life, they refused and instead devoted themselves to God and celibacy, against the wishes of their father.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mani&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book | last = Mani | first = Vettam | title = Puranic Encyclopaedia: a Comprehensive Dictionary with Special Reference to the Epic and Puranic Literature | url = https://archive.org/details/puranicencyclopa00maniuoft | publisher = Motilal Banarsidass Publishers | year = 1975  | isbn = 978-0-8426-0822-0 | author-link = Vettam Mani|page=[https://archive.org/details/puranicencyclopa00maniuoft/page/682 682]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The &#039;&#039;[[Bhagavata Purana]]&#039;&#039; narrates further that their refusal made Brahma angry and his wrath manifested the deity [[Shiva]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Four&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; As per a variant, Brahma practised &#039;&#039;[[Tapas (Indian religions)|tapas]]&#039;&#039; (austerities) and pleased [[Vishnu]], and so the later he appeared in the form of the four infant Kumaras as Brahma&#039;s sons.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Some texts like the &#039;&#039;[[Devi Bhagavata Purana]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[Bhavishya Purana]]&#039;&#039; narrates the four Kumaras appeared even before the Brahma of the present age (In a cycle of time, some texts say that a Brahma dies and is reborn.)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mani&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four Kumaras learnt the &#039;&#039;[[Veda]]&#039;&#039;s at the age of four or five.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; They thus became great &#039;&#039;[[jnana|jnani]]&#039;&#039;s (learned beings), [[yoga|yogi]]s, and &#039;&#039;[[Siddha]]&#039;&#039;s (the perfect enlightened ones). The Kumaras remained in the form of children due to their spiritual virtues. The age of the sages varies in sacred texts. While five is the most popular, they are also mentioned as being five-year-old boys.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dalal p. 215&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They practised the vow of renunciation (&#039;&#039;[[sannyasa]]&#039;&#039;) and celibacy ([[brahmacharya]]) and remained naked.

&lt;br /&gt;
The four Kumaras are said to reside in &#039;&#039;Janaloka&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Janarloka&#039;&#039; ([[loka]] or world of the intellectuals in the present parlance) or in Vishnu&#039;s abode of [[Vaikuntha]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dalal p. 224&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  They constantly recite the [[mantra]] &#039;&#039;Hari Sharanam&#039;&#039; (Refuge in Vishnu) or sing Vishnu&#039;s praises. These hymns and glories of Vishnu serve as their only food.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Another son of Brahma, the sage [[Narada]], who is described as their disciple, extolls their virtues in the &#039;&#039;[[Padma Purana]]&#039;&#039;.

Their knowledge comes to them of itself (without being dependent on study or exertion). These seven are wedded to the religion of Nivritti. They are the foremost of all persons conversant with Yoga. They are possessed also of deep knowledge of the Sankhya philosophy. They are preceptors of the scriptures on duty and it is they that introduce the duties of the religion of Nivritti and cause them to flow in the worlds.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Discourses ===&lt;br /&gt;
The discourses of the four Kumaras are found in the [[Hindu epic]] &#039;&#039;[[Mahabharata]]&#039;&#039; as well as the &#039;&#039;Bhagavata Purana&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dhody1995&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;[[Shanti Parva]]&#039;&#039; book of the &#039;&#039;Mahabharata&#039;&#039; describes the discourse given by the four Kumaras to the demon king [[Vritra]] and his guru  – the sage [[Shukra]]. The king and his guru worship the Kumaras and then Shukra asks them to describe the greatness of Vishnu. Sanatkumara starts by describing Vishnu as the creator and destroyer of all beings. He equates Vishnu&#039;s body parts with parts of the universe and the elements, for example, the earth is Vishnu&#039;s feet and water is his tongue. All gods are described as being Vishnu. Then Sanatkumara categorizes all beings into six colours depending upon the proportion of the three [[Guṇa|guna]]s: [[sattva]] (pure), [[rajas]] (dim) and [[Tamas (philosophy)|tamas]] (dark). From the lowest to the foremost beings, the colours are dark (tamas is high, rajas is mid, sattva is low), tawny (tamas is high, sattva is mid, rajas is low), blue (rajas is high, tamas is mid, sattva is low), red (rajas is high, sattva is mid, tamas is low), yellow (sattva is high, tamas is mid, rajas is low) and white (sattva is high, rajas is mid, tamas is low). The &#039;&#039;[[Vishnu Purana]]&#039;&#039; mentions non-living things, lower animals and birds, humans, [[Prajapati]]s, gods and the Kumaras are respective examples of the above colours. Sanatkumara elaborates further how a [[Jiva]] (living entity) journeys from dark to white in his various births, ultimately gaining moksha if he does good deeds, devotion and yoga.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.org/stream/mahabharat05ramauoft#page/5146/mode/2up Mahabharata] Published by Geeta Press in Gorakhpur.

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Bhagavata Purana&#039;&#039; narrates the visit of the four Kumaras to the court of King [[Prithu]], the first sovereign in Hindu mythology and an avatar of Vishnu. The king worships the sages and asked them about the way of emancipation ([[moksha]]) that can be followed by all people who are caught in the web of worldly things. Sanatkumara tells the king that Vishnu is the refuge to all and grants liberation of the cycle of births and rebirths. His worship frees one from material desires and lust. One should be freed from material objects, live a simple life of non-violence and devotion of Vishnu and follow the teachings of a good [[guru]] and undergo [[Self-realization|self-realisation]]. One should realize that all living things are forms of God. Without devotion and knowledge, humans are incomplete. Out of four &#039;&#039;[[Puruṣārtha|purushartha]]&#039;&#039;s (&amp;quot;goals of life&amp;quot;), only moksha is eternal, while [[Dharma|religious duty]], [[Artha|wealth]] and [[Kāma|pleasure]] decay with this life. While all beings are subject to destruction, the soul and God in our bodies are eternal. So it is paramount that one surrenders to God (as Vishnu or [[Krishna]]), said Sanatkumara ending his counsel. Prithu worships the Kumaras again, who blessed him.&amp;lt;ref name=Prithu&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://vedabase.net/sb/4/22/en|title=Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Srimad Bhagavatam 4.22|access-date=22 December 2012|publisher=Vedabase.net|archive-date=9 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509211908/http://vedabase.net/sb/4/22/en|url-status=dead}} Click individual verses for explanatory notes&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Narada transmitted it to [[Vyasa]], who scripted them into the Puranic texts. The &#039;&#039;[[Vishnu Purana]]&#039;&#039; is recorded in two parts, the Vishnu Purana and [[Naradiya Purana]]. The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers are contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided into two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka and others.{{Sfn|Deshpande|2005|pp=66–69}}&lt;br /&gt;

=== Visit to Vaikuntha ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gate keepers of Vaikunda prevent the saints from entering and they were cursed. Vishnu is rushing to the spot.jpg|thumb|Jaya and Vijaya obstruct the Kumaras from entering Vaikuntha as Vishnu rushes to the spot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four Kumaras roamed around at their free will with their cosmic powers all over the universe. During one of their sojourns, they arrived at [[Vaikuntha]], the abode of Vishnu. The city, with the residence of Vishnu located at the center of seven circular walls, is considered as a place of bliss and purity. It has seven gates of entry. The four Kumaras passed through the first six gates without any hindrance. The seventh gate was guarded by [[Jaya-Vijaya|Jaya and Vijaya]], the two [[dvarapala]]s (door-guards) of Vishnu&#039;s palace. The angry guardians stopped the four Kumaras and laughed at them since they looked like children and were also naked, and did not permit them to enter through the seventh gate. The four Kumaras were perplexed by the behaviour of the gatekeepers as they had not faced such a situation and ridicule anywhere else. They expected Jaya and Vijaya to be like their master Vishnu, who does not differentiate among beings. Enraged, the Kumaras cursed them to be born on earth thrice, as three villains with characteristics of &amp;quot;lust, anger and greed&amp;quot;. The gatekeepers accept the curse and bow to the Kumaras and beg for their forgiveness. Vishnu who learnt of the incident, appeared before the Kumaras in all his glory with his retinue. The four Kumaras, who were on their first visit to Vaikuntha, took in by the sight and the glittering divine figure of Vishnu. With deep devotion, they appealed to him to accept them as his devotees and allow them to offer worship at his feet for all time to come and let his feet be their final emancipation. Vishnu complied with their request and also assured Jaya and Vijaya that they will born as demons on earth but will be released from all births (killed) by an [[avatar]] of Vishnu. The two guards were dismissed by Vishnu to go and suffer the curse of the Kumaras on earth and then only return to his abode, after the end of the curse. The two banished guards were then born on earth in the &#039;&#039;[[Satya Yuga]] at&#039;&#039; an inauspicious hour, to the sage [[Kashyapa]] and his wife [[Diti]] (daughter of [[Daksha]]) as [[asuras]]. They were named [[Hiranyakashipu]] and [[Hiranyaksha]]. Vishnu undertook the [[Varaha]] [[Avatar]] to kill [[Hiranyaksha]], and the [[Narasimha]] avatar to kill [[Hiranyakasipu]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hudson2008&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Venkatesananda(Swami.)1989&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=Swami Venkatesananda|author2=Venkatesananda (Swami.)|title=The Concise Śrīmad Bhāgavataṁ|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zLkrkjn1Yv0C&amp;amp;pg=PA53|access-date=25 December 2012|year=1989|publisher=SUNY Press|isbn=978-0-7914-0149-1|pages=53}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the second life, during the &#039;&#039;[[Treta Yuga]]&#039;&#039;, they were born as [[Ravana]] and [[Kumbhakarna]] and defeated and killed by [[Rama]] avatar as mentioned in the epic [[Ramayana]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===In Shaiva tradition===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Vaishnavism}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shaivism|Shaivas]] believe that Shiva assumed the form of [[Dakshinamurti]], the great teacher and meditating facing South observing a vow of silence. The four Kumaras approached Shiva for self-realisation. He taught them about the Supreme Reality, [[Brahman]], by making the &#039;&#039;[[Mudra#Basic mudr.C4.81: Chin Mudr.C4.81|chin mudra]]&#039;&#039; gesture with his hand. The index finger is touched to the thumb, indicating the union of Brahman and [[jiva]]. Thus, Shiva made the Kumaras as his disciples.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ravi2010&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=V.

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;[[Linga Purana]]&#039;&#039; describes that Shiva, or his aspect [[Vamadeva]], will be born as a Kumara and then multiply into the four Kumaras in each [[kalpa (aeon)|kalpa]] (eon) as sons of Brahma of that [[Kalpa (time)|kalpa]]. In the 29th kalpa, Shveta Lohita is the main Kumara; where they are named as Sananda, Nandana, Vishvananda, and Upananadana of white colour; then in the 30th kalpa, they are named as Virajas, Vivahu, Visoka and Vishvabhavana, all of the red colour; and in the 31st kalpa in yellow colour; and in the 32nd kalpa, as of black colour.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;The Vishńu Puráńa: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Other legends==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An incident about the meeting of the four Kumaras with Vishnu&#039;s avatar [[Rama]] is narrated in the &#039;&#039;Uttarakanda&#039;&#039; of the &#039;&#039;[[Ramcharitmanas]]&#039;&#039;. The Kumaras once stayed in the hermitage of the sage [[Agastya]], who told them about the glory of Rama. So to meet Rama, they went to a forest grove where Rama with his brothers and disciple [[Hanuman]] had come. Rama and his brothers were so delighted in meeting the four enlightened sages that they paid obeisance to them. The sages were wonderstruck looking at the divinity of Rama that they prostrated before him and out of great ecstasy started shedding tears of happiness. Rama looking at the sages was deeply impressed and asked them to be seated and praised them for their great achievements and their erudite knowledge of the Vedas and Puranas. The four Kumaras were also delighted to hear the words of praise showered on them by Rama. They in turn extolled his great virtues in a hymn.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TulasīdāsaPrasad1999&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=Tulasīdāsa|author2=R. C.

[[Vaishnavism]] (the devotees that worships Vishnu as the Supreme) is divided into four &#039;&#039;[[sampradaya]]&#039;&#039;s or traditions. Each of them traces its lineage to a heavenly being. The [[Kumara Sampradaya]], also known as the Nimbarka Sampradaya, Catuḥ Sana Sampradaya and Sanakadi Sampradaya, and its philosophy [[Dvaitadvaita]] (&amp;quot;duality in unity&amp;quot;) is believed to be propagated in humanity by the four Kumaras. The swan avatar of Vishnu Hamsa was the origin of this philosophy and taught it to the four Kumaras, who in turn taught Narada, who finally passed it to the earthy [[Nimbarka]], the main exponent of the sampradaya.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dalal p. 129&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;All India Pakhtoon Jirga-e-Hind&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ps|آل انډیا پښتون جرګه هند}} , {{langx|ur|آل انڈیا پشتون جرگہ ہند}}), commonly known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Jirga-e-Hind&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{langx|ps|جرګه هند}} , {{langx|ur|جرگہ ہند}}), is an organisation representing the interests of [[Pashtuns]] in [[India]].

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Yasmin Nigar Khan, 42, who heads the All India Pakhtoon Jirga-e-Hind, has argued that if this is not the cause then, why would the Taliban attack the North West Frontier Province every time, instead of striking in the Punjab or Sindh provinces?}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mall Road has always been an important commercial and recreational center for people of Kanpur. It is often referred as &#039;&#039;&#039;Downtown, Kanpur&#039;&#039;&#039;. During British Era, Mall Road was only opened for Britishers and entry of Indians was restricted here. Indians couldn&#039;t drive here or sit on benches established by municipality.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RcQBAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=mall+road+kanpur+entry+indian | title=Party Politics in U.P., 1901–1920| last1=Verma| first1=Ganeshi Lal| year=1978}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Mall Road was an important nightlife center during that time and housed many clubs like Murray &amp;amp; Co, Kellners, Khonolal &amp;amp; Sons, Regal etc.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/I-never-thought-of-leaving-Kanpur/articleshow/381196.cms|title=&#039;I Never Thought of Leaving Kanpur&#039; &amp;amp;#124; Undefined News – Times of India|website=[[The Times of India]]|date=24 December 2003 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During post independence era Mall Road remained as important retail and commercial center for Kanpurites and till today it has maintained its charms with high rises on both the sides of road.

Bordoloi started her career as an actress, featuring in the popular TV series &#039;&#039;Tejaal Ghora&#039;&#039;, directed by [[Kulada Kumar Bhattacharya|Kulada Kumar Bhattacharyya]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Santwana Bordoloi is a pediatrician who works at [[Dispur]] Hospital. In 1996, she made her directorial debut with &#039;&#039;Adajya&#039;&#039;. The film is based on [[Mamoni Raisom Goswami|Indira Goswami]]’s novel, &#039;&#039;Dontal Haatir Uiye Khowa Haoda&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;The Moth Eaten [[Howdah]] of a Tusker),&#039;&#039; and it won the [[National Film Award for Best Assamese Feature Film|National Award for Best Feature Film in Assamese]], and also was showcased at various international film festivals. She completed the film in about a month while managing her medical practice.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DOB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/eyecatchers/story/19980202-dr-santwana-bordoloi-a-doctor-and-a-movie-director-825534-1998-02-02 |title=Dr Santwana Bordoloi: A doctor and a movie director |date=2 February 1998 |magazine=India Today |language=en |access-date=23 November 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two-decade gap in her films gave her critics the space to call her a &amp;quot;one-film wonder&amp;quot;. However, she came out with &#039;&#039;Maj Rati Keteki&#039;&#039; in 2017, which also won the award for Best Assamese Feature Film at the [[64th National Film Awards|2017 National Awards]].{{cn|date=July 2025}} Film star [[Adil Hussain]] won [[Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration|Nargis Dutta Award – Special Mention (feature film)]] at [[64th National Film Awards]] for acting in this film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.newslivetv.org/news.php?s=regional&amp;amp;id=4621&amp;amp;t=64th-national-film-awards-maj-rati-keteki-best-assamese-film-special-mention-award-for-adil-hussain-rsquo-sikar-aru-sitkar-&amp;amp;sld=4 |title=NEWS LIVE - 24 hour satellite TV News and infotainment Channel from Guwahati for the Northeast Region, Assam, India - News Live - Pushing North-East 24x7 |accessdate=20 April 2017 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170421000413/http://www.newslivetv.org/news.php?s=regional&amp;amp;id=4621&amp;amp;t=64th-national-film-awards-maj-rati-keteki-best-assamese-film-special-mention-award-for-adil-hussain-rsquo-sikar-aru-sitkar-&amp;amp;sld=4 |archivedate=21 April 2017 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.news18.com/news/movies/recognition-by-national-award-jury-is-both-prestigious-inspiring-adil-hussain-1369458.html |title=Recognition by National Award Jury Prestigious, Inspiring: Adil Hussain |publisher=News18 |date=17 April 2017 |accessdate=6 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |author=Henna Rakheja |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/adil-hussain-on-national-award-win-it-s-dangerous-to-get-an-award-like-this/story-P0IpffNan59l8qjfvGNnAP.html |title=Adil Hussain on National Award win: It&#039;s dangerous to get an award like this &amp;amp;#124; bollywood |work=Hindustan Times |date=7 April 2017 |accessdate=6 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.northeasttoday.in/national-film-awards-dikchow-banat-palaax-wins-best-feature-film-on-national-integration/ |title=National Film Awards: &#039;Dikchow Banat Palaax&#039; Wins Best Feature film on National Integration » Northeast Today |publisher=Northeasttoday.in |accessdate=6 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/Back-to-films-after-a-two-decade-hiatus/article16792841.ece |title=Back to films after a two-decade hiatus |work=The Hindu |date=11 December 2016 |accessdate=6 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2022, Jagdish Patel, Vaishaliben Patel, and their children Vihangi and Dharmik died in [[Emerson, Manitoba]], twelve meters away from the [[Canada–United States border|United States border]]. The family were killed by the cold, which reached -35[[Celsius|°C]] around the time of their deaths, as they attempted to emigrate from India to the US, via Canada. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Patel family ==&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of his death Jagdish Patel was aged 39. He was married to Vaishaliben aged 37 and was travelling with their daughter Vihangi, aged 11 and their son, Dharmik, aged 3.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2023-01-17 |title=Two arrested in case of Indians who froze to death at US-Canada border |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64300364 |access-date=2023-01-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The family was from the village of [[Dingucha]], in [[Gujarat|Gujarat state]], [[western India]]; many villagers in [[Dingucha]] aspire to emigrate to the US.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family travelled from India to Toronto on January 12, 2022.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2022-02-11 |title=The family that froze to death a world away from home |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60290955 |access-date=2023-01-17}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Canadian police deduced that they then travelled towards the US border by road, due to the lack of air travel records in the family names, arriving in Emerson, Manitoba on January 18, 2022.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Border crossing attempt and death ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Patel family and seven others attempted to walk across the border, as part of an immigration scheme.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The family were likely unprepared for the low temperatures, which reached -35[[Celsius|°C]] at the time.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; They were found dead by police in a field in Emerson, Manitoba.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The family were described by Canadian authorities as the victims of [[human trafficking]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aftermath ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Patel family&#039;s death increased public and media awareness of the Indian people smugglers using Canada as a waypoint to get to the United States.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Pauls |first=Karen |last2=Gowriluk |first2=Caitlyn |date=16 Jan 2023 |title=A family&#039;s death trying to cross the U.S. border hasn&#039;t deterred others — and more are taking the risk |work=CBC |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-border-tragedy-patel-family-crossings-increasing-1.6713981}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While the [[Mexico–United States border]] is heavily guarded, the Canadian border is comparatively easier to walk over.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
