She has left for posterity the remarkable three-volume album of nearly 200 studies entitled 'Watercolour Sketches of Princes and Peoples of India'. Most of the drawings in the album, however, concern the lives of the common people rather than those of the princes. During her travels from Calcutta to Lahore in her brother's suite, she continually sketched the interesting figures she encountered and wrote long letters to her sister which were published in London in 1866 under the title 'Up the Country'. Eden had taken lessons in England from the best drawing masters of the day. Judging from her work we find that she was an accomplished amateur artist and her talent for painting flowered under the Indian sun}}</ref><ref name="CodellMacleod2018">{{Citation |last1=Codell |first1=Julie F. |last2=Macleod |first2=Dianne Sachko |title=Orientalism Transposed: Impact of the Colonies on British Culture |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZPiADwAAQBAJ&pg=PT100 |year=2018 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-429-76164-5 |pages=100– |quote='Emily Eden depicts a different, more privileged point of view.' Published in London two years after her return from the colonial subcontinent in 1842, her volume is a sweeping vision of Indian royalty, political leaders, servants associated with royal households, and even royal pets she encountered during her stay. The 'princes' recorded in her book were mainly political characters crucial to the British imperial enterprise, and took up more space than the 'people' she observed. Of these princes, the Sikh rulers understandably formed the majority, due to the time she spent in the Punjab when the Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Lord Auckland signed a treaty to curb the Russian presence in Afghanistan.}}</ref>

==Family ties==
Born in Westminster, Eden was the seventh daughter of [[William Eden, 1st Baron Auckland]], and his wife Eleanor Elliot. She was the great-great-great-aunt of Prime Minister [[Anthony Eden]].

== The India years ==
In her late thirties, she and her sister Fanny travelled to India, where her brother [[George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland]] was in residence as [[Governor-General]] from 1835 to 1842.<ref name=":0" /> She wrote accounts of her time there, which were journal-letters to her other sister, Mary Drummond, later collected in the volume ''Up The Country: Letters Written to Her Sister from the Upper Provinces of India'' (1867).<ref name=":0" /> While the emphasis of her Indian writings was on travel descriptions, local colour and details of the ceremonial and social functions that she attended, Eden also provided a perceptive record of the major political events that occurred during her brother's term of office. These included the total destruction of a British and Indian army during the [[1842 retreat from Kabul|retreat from Kabul in 1842]], a disaster for which George Eden was held partly responsible.<ref name="Dalrymple">{{Cite book |first=William |last=Dalrymple |page=390 |title=Return of a King |date=14 January 2014 |publisher=Knopf Doubleday Publishing |isbn=9780307948533}}</ref>

Eden was also an artist who, during her years in India, created portraits and paintings of Indian princes, soldiers, and servants with both technical skill and "psychological insights".<ref name=":0" /> Her book, ''Portraits of the Princes and People of India,'' was published in 1844. IT contained 24 lithographs that were drawn from her sketches of important Indian subjects such as [[Dost Mohammad Khan|Dost Mahomed Khan]] and [[Ranjit Singh]].<ref name=":0" />

Eden also collected coins.<ref>Pratipal Bhatia, "Emily Eden collection of Sasanian, Kushano-Sasanian, Kidarite and Indo-Sasanian type coins (British Museum, London)", ''Journal of the Oriental Society of Australia'', 48, 2016, [97]-134.</ref>

==Fiction==
Eden wrote two successful novels: ''The Semi-Detached House'' (1859) and ''The Semi-Attached Couple'' (1860). [[Semi-detached|Semi-detached houses]] were becoming a more widespread form of dwelling for the middle classes, as [[Life in Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution|Britain continued to industrialise and urbanise]]. The latter book was written in 1829, but not published until 1860. Both have a comic touch that critics have compared with that of [[Jane Austen]], who was Eden's favourite author.<ref>[https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,798038,00.html "Not new but fresh"], ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', 23 June 1947.</ref> The first of the two has been described by [[John Sutherland (author)|John Sutherland]] as "an accomplished study in the social contrasts of aristocratic style, bourgeois respectability and crass vulgarity."<ref>John Sutherland: ''Longman Companion to Victorian Fiction'' (1988), quoted in ''XIX Century Fiction'', Part I, A–K (Jarndyce, Bloomsbury, 2019).</ref>

Eden's letters were published by [[Violet Dickinson]], a close friend of [[Virginia Woolf]]. They contain memorable comments on English public life, most famously her welcome for the new [[King William IV]] as "an immense improvement on the last unforgiving animal [[George IV]] — this man at least wishes to make everybody happy."

Emily Eden's niece Eleanor Lena Eden also took to writing, mainly children's books under the pseudonym Lena. The structure of her 1867 novel ''Dumbleton Common'', which has "Little Miss Patty" detailing gossip in a hamlet outside London, was inspired by ''[[Cranford (novel)|Cranford]]''.<ref>''XIX Century Fiction'', Part I, A–K (Jarndyce, Bloomsbury, 2019).</ref>

==Lord Melbourne==
Emily Eden never married and was financially well enough off not to need to write, but did so out of passion. After the death of [[Lady Caroline Lamb]], mutual friends hoped she might marry [[William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne|Lord Melbourne]], who had become a close friend, although she claimed to find him "bewildering" and to be shocked by his profanity.<ref name=":0">{{Cite Q|Q126672688}}</ref> Melbourne's biographer [[Lord David Cecil]] remarks that it might have been an excellent thing if they had married, but "love is not the child of wisdom, and neither of them wanted to."<ref>David Cecil, ''Lord Melbourne'' (Constable and Co., London, 1965).</ref>

==Personality==
Her letters explored London, the colonies, and the high seas. Prudence Hannay argues that armed with "strong feelings and a forthright outlook on life, acute powers of observation and a gift of beautifully translating into words the sense of the ridiculous", she devoted her life to writing.<ref>Prudence Hannay, "Emily Eden as a Letter-Writer", ''History Today'' (1971) 21#7 pp 491-501.</ref> In a 2013 history of her brother's term as Governor General of India, Emily Eden is described as a "waspish but adoring" sister, whose diary was to become one of the most celebrated travel accounts of the period.<ref name="Dalrymple"/>

'''James Gordon Farrell''' (25 January 1935 – 11 August 1979) was an English-born novelist of Irish descent. He gained prominence for a series of novels known as "the Empire Trilogy" (''[[Troubles (novel)|Troubles]]'', ''[[The Siege of Krishnapur]]'' and ''[[The Singapore Grip]]''), which deal with the political and human consequences of British colonial rule.

''Troubles'' received the 1971 [[Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize]], and ''The Siege of Krishnapur'' received the 1973 [[Booker Prize]]. In 2010, ''Troubles'' was retrospectively awarded the [[Lost Man Booker Prize]], created to recognise works published in 1970. ''Troubles'' and its fellow shortlisted works had not been open for consideration that year due to a change in the eligibility rules.<ref name="The Booker Prizes f304">{{cite web | title=The Lost Man Booker | website=The Booker Prizes | url=https://thebookerprizes.com/the-lost-man-booker#:~:text=The%20Lost%20Man%20Booker%20Prize,of%20the%20year%20of%20publication. | access-date=2024-03-03}}</ref>

==Biography==

===Early life and education===
Farrell, born in [[Liverpool]], England, into a family of an Irish background, was the second of three brothers. His father, William Farrell, had worked as an accountant in [[Bengal]] and, in 1929, he married Prudence Josephine Russell, a former receptionist and secretary to a doctor. From the age of 12, he attended [[Rossall School]] in [[Lancashire]]. After World War II, the Farrells moved to [[Dublin]], following which Farrell spent much time in Ireland. This, perhaps combined with the popularity of ''[[Troubles (novel)|Troubles]]'', leads many to regard him as an Irish writer. After leaving Rossall, he taught in Dublin and also worked for some time on [[Distant Early Warning Line]] in the Canadian Arctic. In 1956, he went to study at [[Brasenose College, Oxford]]; while there he contracted [[poliomyelitis|polio]]. This left him partially disabled and disease was prominent in his works. In 1960, he left Oxford with [[British undergraduate degree classification|third-class honours]] in French and Spanish and went to live in France, where he taught at a [[lycée]].<ref name= "Prusse 2003">{{cite book |last=Prusse|first=Michael C.|title=British and Irish Novelists Since 1960|year=2003 |publisher=Gale|location=[[Detroit]], Michigan |isbn=978-0-7876-6015-4}}</ref>

===Early works===
Farrell published his first novel, ''A Man From Elsewhere'', in 1963. Set in France, it shows the clear influence of French [[Existentialism]]. The story follows Sayer, a journalist for a communist paper, as he tries to find skeletons in Regan's closet. Regan is a dying novelist who is about to be awarded an important Catholic literary prize. The book mimics the fight between the two leaders of French existentialism: [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] and [[Albert Camus]], Sayer representing Sartre and Regan as Camus. The two argue about existentialism: the position that murder can be vindicated as an expedient in overthrowing tyranny (Sartre) versus the stance that there are no ends that justify unjust means (Camus). [[Bernard Bergonzi]] reviewed it in the ''[[New Statesman]]''{{'}}s 20 September 1963 issue, writing: "Many first novels are excessively autobiographical, but ''A Man from Elsewhere'' suffers from the opposite fault of being a cerebral construct, dreamed up out of literature and the contemporary French cinema." [[Simon Raven]] wrote in ''[[The Observer]]'' on 15 September 1963: "Mr. Farrell's style is spare, his plotting lucid and well timed; his expositions of moral or political problems are pungent if occasionally didactic."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/> It entirely lacks the ironic humour and tender appreciation of human frailty that characterise his later work. Farrell came to dislike the book.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}

Two years after this came ''The Lung'', in which Farrell returned to his real-life trauma of less than a decade earlier: the main character Martin Sands contracts polio and has to spend a long period in hospital. It has been noted that it is somewhat modelled after Farrell, but it is modelled more after Geoffrey Firmin from [[Malcolm Lowry]]'s 1947 novel, ''[[Under the Volcano]]''.<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/> The anonymous reviewer for ''[[The Observer]]'' on 31 October 1965 wrote that "Mr. Farrell gives the pleasantly solid impression of really having something to write about", and one for ''[[The Times Literary Supplement]]'' on 11 November 1965 that "Mr. Farrell's is an effective, potent brew, compounded of desperation and a certain wild hilarity."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/>

In 1967, Farrell published ''A Girl in the Head''. The protagonist, the impoverished Polish count Boris Slattery, lives in the fictional English seaside town of Maidenhair Bay, in the house of the Dongeon family (believed to be modelled after [[V. S. Naipaul]]'s ''[[A House for Mr Biswas]]''). His marriage to Flower Dongeon is decaying. His companion is Dr. Cohen, who is a dying alcoholic. Boris also has sex with an underage teenager, June Furlough, and fantasises about Ines, a Swedish summer guest, the titular "girl in the head". Boris is believed to be modelled on Humbert Humbert in [[Vladimir Nabokov]]'s ''[[Lolita]]''.<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/> Like its two predecessors, the book met only middling critical and public reaction. In the 13 July 1967 issue of ''[[The Listener (magazine)|The Listener]]'', [[Ian Hamilton (critic)|Ian Hamilton]] wrote that he disliked the novel, and thought it was, at best, an "adroit pastiche" of [[Samuel Beckett]]'s deadbeats.<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/> Martin Levin in ''[[The New York Times Book Review]]'' on 23 March 1969 praised Farrell's "flair for giving the ridiculous an inspired originality".<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/> An anonymous reviewer in ''[[The New York Times Book Review]]'' on 20 July 1967 wrote: "verbal assurance and resourcefulness show that Mr. Farrell is not content to coast along merely imitating his previous work. Such a deliberate extension of range is perhaps a hopeful sign for a talent which, after three novels, still has not found the mode in which to fulfil its attractive promise."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/>

===Empire Trilogy===
''[[Troubles (novel)|Troubles]]'' tells the comic yet melancholy tale of an Englishman, Major Brendan Archer, who in 1919 goes to [[County Wexford]] in Ireland to reunite with his fiancée, Angela Spencer. From the crumbling Majestic Hotel at Kilnalough, he watches Ireland's fight for independence from Britain. Farrell started writing the book while on a [[Harkness Fellowship]] in the United States and finished it in a flat in [[Knightsbridge]], London. He got the idea for the setting from going to [[Block Island]] and seeing the remains of an old burned-down hotel.<ref>{{cite book | title= J. G. Farrell: The Making of a Writer| url= https://archive.org/details/jgfarrellmakingo0000grea| url-access= registration| pages=[https://archive.org/details/jgfarrellmakingo0000grea/page/222 222–225] |author=Lavinia Greacen | year= 1999| isbn= 9780747544630}} London: Bloomsbury Publishing. {{ISBN|0-7475-4463-8}}.</ref> He won a [[Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize]] for the novel, and with the prize money travelled to India to research his next novel.<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/>

Farrell's next book, ''[[The Siege of Krishnapur]]'', and his last completed work, ''[[The Singapore Grip (novel)|The Singapore Grip]]'', both continue his story of the collapse of British colonial power. The former deals with the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]]. Inspired by historical events such as the sieges of [[Cawnpore]] and [[Lucknow]], the novel is set in the fictional town of Krishnapur, where a besieged British garrison succeeds in holding out for four months against an army of native [[sepoys]] in the face of enormous suffering before being relieved.

The third of the novels, ''[[The Singapore Grip]]'', centres upon the Japanese capture of the British colonial city of [[Singapore]] in 1942, while also exploring at some length the economics and ethics of colonialism at the time, as well as the economic relationships between developed and [[Third World]] countries.

The three novels are in general linked only thematically, although Archer, a character in ''Troubles'', reappears in ''The Singapore Grip''. The protagonist of Farrell's unfinished novel, ''The Hill Station'', is Dr McNab, introduced in ''[[The Siege of Krishnapur]]''; this novel and its accompanying notes make the series a quartet.

When ''The Siege of Krishnapur'' won the [[Booker Prize]] in 1973, Farrell used his acceptance speech to attack the sponsors, the [[Booker Group]], for their business involvement in the agricultural sector in the Third World.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Best of the Booker: The Siege of Krishnapur |url=https://nyrb.typepad.com/classics/2008/05/the-best-of-the.html |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=A Different Stripe}}</ref>

[[Charles Sturridge]] scripted a film version of ''[[Troubles (novel)|Troubles]]'' made for British television in 1988 and directed by [[Christopher Morahan]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Troubles |date=1988-05-01 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293963/ |type=Drama |access-date=2023-03-23 |publisher=London Weekend Television (LWT)}}</ref>

===Death===
In 1979, Farrell decided to quit London to live on the [[Sheep's Head]] peninsula in [[County Cork]], Ireland. A few months later he drowned on the coast of [[Bantry Bay]] after falling into the sea from rocks while angling.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://corkuniversitypress.typepad.com/cork_university_press/2010/02/jg-farrells-eyewitness-account-of-his-death-is-published.html |title=Eyewitness account of J.

"Had he not sadly died so young", [[Salman Rushdie]] said in 2008, "there is no question that he would today be one of the really major novelists of the English language. The three novels that he did leave are all in their different way extraordinary."<ref>{{cite book|editor=Greacen, Lavinia|url=http://muse.jhu.edu/books/9781908634047|title=J. G. Farrell in His Own Words: Selected Letters and Diaries|year=2010 |publisher=[[Cork University Press]]|isbn=9781908634047 }}</ref>

Farrell is buried in the churchyard of the [[St James' Church, Durrus|St James' Church]], a [[Church of Ireland]] parish church in [[Durrus]]. The manuscript library at [[Trinity College, Dublin]], holds his papers: ''Papers of James Gordon Farrell (1935–1979). TCD MSS 9128-60''.

===Legacy===
Peter Morey wrote that "an interpretation of the novels of J. G. Farrell and [[Paul Scott (novelist)|Paul Scott]] as examples of [[Postcolonial literature|post-colonial fiction]] [is possible], since both partake of oppositional and interrogative narrative practices which recognize and work to dismantle the staple elements of imperial narrative."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/>

Derek Mahon dedicates his poem "A Disused Shed in County Wexford" to Farrell, possibly in reference to the topic of ''Troubles''.

Ronald Binns described Farrell's colonial novels as "probably the most ambitious literary project conceived and executed by any British novelist in the 1970s."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/><ref>Binns, Ronald. "J. G. Farrell", Methuen, London, 1986. {{ISBN|0-416-40320-4}}.</ref>

In the 1984 novel ''[[Foreign Affairs (novel)|Foreign Affairs]]'' by [[Alison Lurie]], Vinnie Miner, the protagonist, reads a Farrell novel on her flight from New York to London. In the 1991 novel ''[[The Gates of Ivory]]'' by [[Margaret Drabble]], the writer Stephen Cox is modelled on Farrell.<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/>

==Quotes==
Farrell said to George Brock in an interview for ''[[The Observer]]'', "the really interesting thing that's happened during my lifetime has been the decline of the [[British Empire]]."<ref name= "Prusse 2003"/><ref>The Observer Magazine 24 September 1978 {{ISSN|0029-7712}}</ref>

'''Queer Casting''' (QC) is an organization that advocates for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in the entertainment of India. It was founded by [[Negha Shahin]], a [[Trans woman|transgender woman]], and Rizwan Bharathi, a [[Trans man|transgender man]].<ref>{{Cite web |last= Fathima |first=Azeefa |date=2024-06-12 |title=Chennai Pride Palooza event to be held on June 16: Everything to know|url= https://www.thenewsminute.com/tamil-nadu/chennai-pride-palooza-event-to-be-held-on-june-16-everything-to-know |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=The New Minute |language=en-IN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-26 |title= சினிமா வாய்ப்புக்கு ஏங்கும் திருநங்கைகள்: 'வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தால் கலக்குவோம்' என்கிறார்கள் |url=https://www.maalaimalar.com/news/state/tamil-news-antharam-movie-actress-rekha-interview-667508 |access-date=2024-07-08 |website=Malai Malar|language=Tamil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ram |first=Anjali |date=2022-02-14 |title=FII Interviews: Negha Shahin Talks About Trans Feminism And Mental Health|url=https://feminisminindia.com/2022/12/15/fii-interviews-negha-shahin-talks-about-trans-feminism-and-mental-health/ |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=feminisminindia |language=en}}</ref>
== History ==
Queer Casting was founded by Shahin and Bharathi (a trans couple), who are [[queer]] and [[transgender]] activists in Tamil Nadu. Negha Shahin was the first trans woman to win the debut actor award at the [[52nd Kerala State Film Awards]], while Rizwan Bharathi is a co-author of Love is Love.<ref>{{Cite web |last= X |first=Cris |date=2022-06-22 |title=Meet Negha S, winner of Kerala State film award for women and trans persons|url= https://www.thenewsminute.com/kerala/meet-negha-s-winner-kerala-state-film-award-women-and-trans-persons-165184 |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=The News Minute |language=en-IN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last =Chandar|first=Bhuvanesh|date=2024-06-25 |title=Queer artistes on the stories they want to see on-screen |url= https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/pride-month-2024-queer-artistes-on-the-stories-they-want-to-see-on-screen/article68326960.ece |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=The Hindu|language=en-IN}}</ref>

Queer Casting was established to increase participation of transgender and queer in the entertainment industry. The organization advocates for the rights and awareness of transgender and queer individuals, and offers various workshops to assist with developing professional experience.

== Work ==
Shahin and Bharathi have been demanding [[media portrayal of LGBT people]] by developing skills and building employment opportunities in the media industry for trans and queer individuals. Industry analytics have found that [[Mass media in India]] still tends to follow stereotypical paths, often overlooking and undermining the transgender and queer community.<ref>{{Cite web |last= Fathima |first=Azeefa |date=2024-06-12 |title=Chennai Pride Palooza event to be held on June 16: Everything to know|url= https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/pride-month-2024-queer-artistes-on-the-stories-they-want-to-see-on-screen/article68326960.ece |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=The New Minute |language=en-IN}}</ref>

In September 2023, the inaugural QC workshop was completed with participation from over 18 transgender and queer individuals. They worked alongside various directors and actors, notably [[Mysskin]] and [[M. Sasikumar|Sasikumar]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-26 |title= சினிமா வாய்ப்புக்கு ஏங்கும் திருநங்கைகள்: 'வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தால் கலக்குவோம்' என்கிறார்கள் |url=https://www.maalaimalar.com/news/state/tamil-news-antharam-movie-actress-rekha-interview-667508 |access-date=2024-07-08 |website=Malai Malar|language=Tamil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= Fathima |first=Azeefa |date=2024-06-12 |title=Chennai Pride Palooza event to be held on June 16: Everything to know|url= https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/pride-month-2024-queer-artistes-on-the-stories-they-want-to-see-on-screen/article68326960.ece |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=The Hindu |language=en-IN}}</ref>

In June 2024, observed worldwide as [[Pride Month]], the organisation hosted "Pride Palooza" in [[Chennai]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. This event featured a keynote of the first southern trans men panel discussion in India and the 106th performance of [[A.

The film was initially announced in the year 2022 and took three years for the production to complete.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/ajay-rao-teams-up-with-newbie-abhishek-for-bank-of-bhagayalakshmi/articleshow/95076749.cms|title=Ajay Rao teams up with newbie Abhishek for Bank of Bhagayalakshmi|work=Times of India|date=26 October 2022}}</ref> It revolves around a botched bank heist that spirals into chaos and humor.

== Plot==
The story unfolds in a rural Karnataka town during election season, a time when political parties are busy managing black money and vote-buying strategies. Kanaka (Dheekshith Shetty), a small-time rowdy with big dreams, leads a gang of five amateur thieves. Tired of petty thefts, they plan a grand heist—to loot the Bhagyalakshmi Cooperative Bank, expecting crores of rupees stashed inside. Before the heist, Inspector Ramakrishna (Sadhu Kokila) warns Kanaka and his gang to stay out of trouble. Kanaka arrogantly retorts, even threatening to get the inspector transferred. Confident in their plan, the gang breaks into the bank during a lull in election chaos. However, their dream shatters when they discover only ₹67,000 in the safe. This botched robbery sets off a chain of comic mishaps and escalating tension.

As they hold the bank staff and customers hostage, Arpita (Brinda Acharya), a bank employee, becomes central to the drama. Kanaka, smitten by her charm, tries to woo her even as the situation worsens. Meanwhile, Inspector Ajith (Viswanath Mandalika) and his team surround the bank, leading to a tense standoff. The gang, desperate to escape, resorts to bizarre tactics—recording videos and posting demands on social media, threatening to kill hostages if their conditions aren’t met. The government, fearing election disruption, reluctantly negotiates.

The twist arrives when Kanaka learns of a hidden stash of black money linked to politicians inside the bank premises. This revelation turns the simple robbery into a high-stakes chase for crores, exposing corruption and greed. Amid frantic attempts to locate the secret cache, the gang faces betrayal, moral dilemmas, and mounting pressure from law enforcement. Kanaka’s romantic subplot with Arpita adds emotional depth to the otherwise chaotic narrative.

The climax ties together themes of greed, survival, and political corruption, as the gang’s fate, the black money mystery, and Kanaka’s love story reach an unpredictable conclusion. While the film maintains a humorous undertone, it also sheds light on the dark realities behind cooperative banks and election-time scams<ref>{{cite web|url=https://moviekoop.com/Movie/Details/Bank-Of-Bhagyalakshmi/56430|title=About Bank of Bhagyalakshmi|work=Moviekoop.com}}</ref>

'''Chautisa''' or '''Chautisha''' ({{langx|or|'''ଚଉତିଶା'''}}) is a genre of literary composition in [[Indian literature]]. It was popular form of writing in [[medieval India]]n poetry. It is a form of [[constrained writing]] where each verse begins with consecutive letters of the alphabet, typically starting with the first [[consonant]]. The word 'Chautisa' means thirty four, signifying the number of consonants in Odia script.<ref name="Mansinha 1962 p.45 ">{{cite book | last=Mansinha | first=M. | title=History of Oriya Literature | publisher=New Delhi | series=Sahitya Akademi. Histories of literature | year=1962 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gwFIAAAAMAAJ | access-date=2020-09-07 | page=45}}</ref>

==History==
Chautisa is one of the earliest form of poetry in Odia language.<ref name="Mazumdar 1921 p.xxi ">{{cite book | last=Mazumdar | first=B.C. | title=Typical selections from Oriya literature | publisher=Baptist Mission Press | issue=v. 1 | year=1921 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ky9IAQAAMAAJ | access-date=2020-09-07 | page=xxi|quote= the chautisa forms appear to be as old as Oriya literature.}}</ref> Numerous Chautisas have been written in medieval Odia literature. The Prachi Samiti (1925–34) collected and published four volumes of medieval poetry and contains hundreds of Chautisas.<ref name="Datta 1988 p. 1740">{{cite book | last=Datta | first=A. | title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature: Devraj to Jyoti | publisher=Sahitya Akademi | issue=v. 2 | year=1988 | isbn=978-81-260-1194-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zB4n3MVozbUC&pg=PA1740 | access-date=2020-09-15 | page=1740}}</ref><ref name="Mansinha 1962 p.45 "/> The earliest known Chautisa is the Kesaba koili of Markanda Dasa.<ref name="Mansinha 1962 p.46 ">{{cite book | last=Mansinha | first=M. | title=History of Oriya Literature | publisher=New Delhi | series=Sahitya Akademi. Histories of literature | year=1962 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gwFIAAAAMAAJ | access-date=2020-09-07 | page=46|quote=The poem that is supposed to be the earliest in present Oriya, combines in itself the twin lyrical patterns of a chautisa and a koili. That is the Kesaba koili of Markanda Dasa. It is the most famous of the koili songs in Oriya, in spite of being the most ancient among them.}}</ref>

[[Baladeba Ratha]], [[Banamali Dasa]], [[Dinakrushna Dasa]] are some of the most famous poets who wrote Chautisas.

==Structure==
Typically the poetry starts with the letter '''କ''' and ends with '''କ୍ଷ'''. Each verse or line of each couplet starts with the same letter.

{| class="wikitable"
! '''Kamalalochana Chautisha''', [[Balarama Dasa]]
! Transliteration
|-
| '''କ'''ମଳ ଲୋଚନ ଶ୍ରୀହରି। '''କ'''ରେଣ ଶଙ୍ଖ ଚକ୍ରଧାରୀ॥ '''ଖ'''ଗ ଆସନେ ଖଗପତି। '''ଖ'''ଟନ୍ତି ଲକ୍ଷ୍ମୀ ସରସ୍ୱତୀ॥ '''ଗ'''ରୁଡ଼ ଆସନେ ମୁରାରି। '''ଗୋ'''ପରେ ରଖିଲେ ବାଛୁରୀ॥

|}

There are some poetic liberties taken by the poets. Such as in place of the letter '''ଙ'''/'''ଞ''', words beginning with '''ନ''' are used as there are no words that begin with those letters.

Some poets reverse the order of the letters and wrote starting from '''କ୍ଷ''' and ends with '''କ'''. This is called ''Olata Chautisa''.<ref name="Mohanty 1993 p. 32">{{cite book | last=Mohanty | first=J.B. | title=Banamali Das | publisher=Sahitya Akademi | series=Makers of Indian literature | year=1993 | isbn=978-81-7201-449-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xNi10M-NkOYC&pg=PA32 | language=de | access-date=2020-09-15 | page=32}}</ref>

Typically the Chautisas have 34 couplets/stanzas. Other popular variants include:

*Chautisa with 2 couplets – each couplet containing 17 consonants.
*Chautisa with 3 couplets – two couplets containing 12 consonants and one couplet with 10 consonants.
*Chautisa with 6 couplets – E.g. Chitau chautisa by [[Upendra Bhanja]].
*Chautisa with 9 couplets – E.g. Hanumanta Janana Chautisa by Damodara Dasa.

==Ex-officio member==
According to '''Section 5 (1) (ii)''' of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act 1976 ''ex-officio members comprising the members of Punjab legislative assembly representing the constituencies in which the city or any part there of falls''.<ref>[http://www.bareactslive.com/Pun/PU407.HTM Punjab Municipal Corporation Act 1976]. ''www.bareactslive.com''. Retrieved 6 February 2021.</ref>

Thus the person who represents the [[Batala Assembly Constituency]] in the [[Punjab Legislative Assembly]] is the ex-officio member of corporation.

Ex-officio member has voting right on par with elected members during the election of Mayor or Deputy mayors in corporation. His vote becomes crucial when a single party lacks required numbers of votes to secure mayor's post or when parties get equal numbers of elected ward members.

==Plot==
{{ced|section|for=proper paragraphing. Excessively long, run-on paragraph needs to be split into multiple paragraphs of moderate length|date=April 2026}}
Parth Bhanushali, the heir to the conservative and affluent Bhanushali family based in [[Vadodara]], falls in love with and marries their [[Bengalis|Bengali]] employee Shorvori Bhattacharya at the cost of being disowned by his family.

Shorvori is pregnant and Parth's family accepts her. An unfortunate accident results in Shorvori's [[miscarriage]], rendering her infertile. She and Parth hide the miscarriage from his family. Teni, a carefree [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] wanting to settle in the US, is chosen by Parth and Shorvori as a [[Surrogacy|surrogate]] in return for sending her to the US. She gets pregnant with the couple's child via [[IVF]]. Shorvori introduces Teni as her cousin to the family. They start to live together. Teni slowly falls in love with Parth and ends up confessing it to him. They are in turmoil after the revelations regarding Teni's pregnancy as Parth accepts the baby to be his. The family eventually accepts the [[surrogacy]] situation. Due to a misunderstanding, Shorvori ends her relationship with Parth thinking that he has an [[extramarital affair]] with Teni and is cheating on her. Teni discovers that Shorvori has a fatal [[brain tumour]] and pretended to leave Parth to help him deal with her impending death. Shorvori sends divorce papers. Parth is suspicious of her behaviour. Shorvori meets with an accident and is presumed dead. Parth struggles to cope with the pain of losing her. Teni convinces him to move on. Due to a misunderstanding, Parth accuses Teni of murdering Shorvori. Teni goes into [[premature labour]] and delivers a girl named Ipshita. With Teni's life in danger, Parth donates blood to save her life. In return, she fulfils his demand that she leave the house. Eventually, Parth realises that Teni did not kill Shorvori. He develops a love for Teni. When she plans to leave for the US, Parth confesses his love and she accepts his proposal. Shorvori is actually alive and was in a coma. Shorvori arrives to reclaim Parth on his wedding day but leaves, seeing him with Teni. The two reach [[Nainital]] to find Shorvori. In Nainital, she starts working as a music teacher. Parth believes he was imagining Shorvori and consummates his marriage with Teni. However, they come across Shorvori. All of them arrive home. Teni tries to leave the family. However, the three of them decide to live together. Misunderstandings arise between Shorvori and Teni who is about to leave but falls down and loses her memory. Shorvori understands that Parth loves Teni more than her and blesses him. Suspecting Bhanushalis wanting to sell her off, Teni runs away from their home.

Shorvori is dead. Teni has been missing. The family sees Teni's traits in Ipshita. Teni leads a happy life in [[Delhi]] and is a sales manager, who is about to marry Iqbal. Circumstances lead to Parth and Teni meeting each other. Confused, Teni moves back to Baroda to find out about her past. Bhanushalis tell Teni everything, and she regains her memory as well as feelings for Parth. Teni decides to marry Iqbal who calls off the wedding. He gives them his blessings as he just wants Teni to be happy. As Iqbal leaves, Parth and Teni finally reunite living happily with Ipshita and their family.

Then, there were also rumours that [[Shashank Vyas]] will play the lead, but he took up [[Jaana Na Dil Se Door]], which he had signed for a year earlier. In September 2016, he was replaced by [[Sidharth Shukla]] to play the lead role. Around the same time, [[Jasmin Bhasin]] was finalized for the role played by [[Preity Zinta]] in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tvserialnews.com/tashan-e-ishq-fame-jasmin-bhasin-grabs-lead-role-in-upcoming-colors-tv-show|title=Jasmin Bhasin grabs Lead Role in Upcoming Colors TV Show 'Sangharsh'|website=www.tvserialnews.com|access-date=2018-05-15}}</ref> There were rumours that [[Chhavi Pandey]] would be romancing Raheja in the series and would play the role of [[Rani Mukherjee]] from the film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibtimes.co.in/will-this-actress-romance-mishal-raheja-new-show-sangharsh-688781|title=Will this actress romance Mishal Raheja in New Show Sangharsh?|website=www.amp.ibtimes.co.in|date=3 August 2016|access-date=2018-05-15}}</ref> Finally, in late September, [[Rashami Desai]] was chosen for the role.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/rashami-desai-finalised-colors-sangharsh-160924|title=Rashami Desai finalised for the Lead Role in Colors TV upcoming Show Sangharsh}}</ref> Later, the show's title was changed to ''Dil Se Dil Tak''. Thus, finally, Desai, Shukla and Bhasin were finalized to play the lead roles in ''Dil Se Dil Tak''. In March 2017, [[Manish Raisinghan]] auditioned for the role played by Shukla in the show but later Shukla decided not to walk out of the show. After a few months, Desai's character was shown to have been killed in a car accident when she decided to leave the show. Later, in December 2017, Shukla finally left the show and was replaced by [[Rohan Gandotra]]. In January 2018, Desai made a comeback in the series but left the series in March 2018 when her character was shown to have died in the show. [[Iqbal Khan (actor)|Iqbal Khan]] entered the series to play the lead role along with Gandotra and Bhasin. It then starred Gandotra, Bhasin and Khan in lead roles.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}

== Controversy ==

In the 1930s, most Tamil Muslim politicians were concentrated in the Madras Provincial Muslim League.<ref name="muslims_political evolution_p153">{{cite book|title=Political Evolution of Muslims in Tamilnadu and Madras 1930–1947|first=J.

== Plot ==
{{More plot|date=April 2016}}
The story is set against the backdrop of a global recession in the [[United Arab Emirates]]. The story revolves around a thriller –- revenge plot that has resulted from the recession. The story explores the basic nature of cruelty and love in human nature through the lives of four individuals: John David, Ananda Raman, Raghuchandran and Kuruvila Mathew.

The story starts in a train journey, where John David, Ananda Raman are travelling in the second class. John talks to various passengers, picks up a conversation with Anantharaman and tells him, that he has seen him somewhere. The train breaks down and everyone gets down to have refreshment. John suggests Ananda Raman, that they hop on to a passing lorry and then take a taxi. Meanwhile, John identifies him as the owner of ''Pravasi'' Malayalam channel in [[Dubai]] sometimes back. They reach a nearby town by lorry and take a room in a local lodge. That night they drink together and shares each other's story. John works as an animator, in a big concern. During his childhood he fell in love Anna in [[Assam]]. He lived in orphanage where Anna used to visit with her father. When he was ten years, her family moved due to her father's transfer. John studied and moved out of orphanage, got job. Later at the age of 36, he moved to Dubai for a job, there he meets Anna again. He learns that she is married. At times, he meets her. Suddenly Anna and her husband meets with an accident where her husband dies. John feels lucky, proposes to Anna after all the rituals get over. He feels that life has given him his chance for waiting so long. He marries Anna. Now he asks Ananda Raman, as why is he upset and what is bothering him. Ananda Raman shares his flashback. He runs a channel in [[Kerala]], where all news is given accurately. He takes the loan and arranges for fund, and opens a new channel in Dubai. His wife asks him if this move is required and is it safe. He wants to make big in life. He moves to Dubai to run the channel. A big recession strikes UAE where almost all contractors lose their job and are asked to leave. Most of their visas are cancelled and are deported asap. Ananda Raman's channel keeps capturing this news. He also runs short of fund for the channel and is unable to pay the debt, and one day he has to return to Kerala. His sudden visit worries his wife. The money lenders chase him over phone and threatens, he changes his house, phone number. He and his wife have a heated argument and he leaves the house. Now he is on the run.

John suggests him that, if he accompanies him to [[Karwar]] the next day, who knows god might give him the money he needed. They both go to sleep and head to Karwar next day morning by a car. They arrive at an estate, meets Raghuchandran and his family. John and Raghu's daughter met in [[Facebook]] a year back and had been talking on a resort proposal. This meeting is to materialize that. The daughter and John shares an intimate moment. A big party hosted. Later that night after everyone leaves, John threatens Raghu and asks to transfer all his money to an account, after showing him a photo. Raghu is shocked. He obliges and his wife is also next to him. they hand over all the cash at home to him. His daughter walks to that room and get shocked too by seeing the photo. Once the money is transferred, John kills all three of them.

John calls Ananda Raman on his cell and asks him to join upstairs. Once he reaches he shoots a video of him holding the dying daughter. Now they both pack up and leave from there. Ananda Raman shouts in the car while travelling. John stops the car, Ananda Raman gets out of the car, and argues with him. John yells saying that it is fate to be here. Throws a bag at him which has money and leaves from there.

Meanwhile, an actress is found dead near a train track in her car. Her husband Kuruvila Mathew is informed, he flies from UAE to India for the identification. He watches all the [[Closed-circuit television camera|CCTV footage]] after he gets to know that all the money in his account has been transferred 30 minutes before her death. He finds a man in the video, spending lot of time with his wife in their house. Kuruvila calls Raghu and tries to inform, but it was too late. Kuruvila reaches Karwar to find out all three are dead. Here also he watches the party video recording and finds the same person. He tries to track him down after seeing Ananda Raman next to the new person.

Ananda Raman after reaching his home, reconciles with his wife, his father-in-law promises to help him out of debt. He hides the money which was given by John. Kuruvila gets in contact with Ananda Raman, meets him and tells that he saw the video recording. He also tells that he is John's next target. Ananda Raman confesses that he has no knowledge of why John is doing this.

Later that day, Ananda Raman sees John following Kuruvila, and he also follows. All three reach Kuruvila's house. John asks Kuruvila to confess what he knows.

Kuruvila shares that, during the recession both Kuruvila and Raghu with their families were to be deported, when Anna's father saw them in the high commission and helped them to arrange the visa. Both families did not want to go out of UAE, they were paranoid about the fact to return to India and do what for their living. They were jealous on Anna's family of how rich they were and how sophisticated they were. That's when they planned to murder the whole family after looting their money.

John told that the family killed by Kuruvila and the others was his wife, her father, mother and four infants. Kuruvila and his wife threatened Anna's father to transfer the money and asked them to board the car. Once all of them boarded, they filled the car with [[carbon monoxide]] and killed them. They escaped with more than 756 million dirhams.

When this news reached John who was in Assam for a project, he travelled back and started digging as the money went missing. He was devastated to see his infants in the mortuary. He has not even met them due to his tight deadline in the project. Hence he traced all the clues, tracked each one of them and took revenge for what was done to his family. He befriended Raghu's daughter over Facebook and earned her trust, meanwhile kept meeting Kuruvila's wife, impressed her, gained her trust and made her transfer the money, after which he killed her in the car, by suffocating her with John's hand, seen him wearing a glove and covers the murder by making the car filled with carbon monoxide, to disguise the murder, making it seem like an accident.

Next was Raghu's family at Karwar, now Kuruvila. He makes him drink poison. He falls down, dead from the chair he was sitting on after drinking. Now he holds his leg and tells, you are finished John. John tells Ananda Raman that he has been the witness as the Anna family car accident case was brainstormed in Ananda Raman's channel in UAE, where he gave a verdict as accident. Kuruvila's wife indirectly paid him to give such verdict.

Kuruvila livecasted this whole thing in Facebook from his CCTV. The case was dismissed, after a few years. Ananda Raman, a book writer now, is nominated for his book ''Paid news is paid murder''. He thanks John for all his support and guidance in another train journey.

===Critical reception===
The film received mixed reviews from the critics and audience alike.
Akhila Menon of ''[[One India|Filmibeat.com]]'' rated the film 2.5/5 and praised Mohanlal's performance and cinematography, but was critical about the film editing, songs, and screenplay. She said, "Director Padmakumar and scenarist S Suresh Babu have succeeded in depicting a decent crime thriller. But the screenplay fails to keep the audience engaged after a point and falls into a slow pace at certain point."<ref>Menon, Akhila.

Deep Fridge is a single-night drama which unfolds on a stormy night at Mili's apartment. Mili is a divorced woman co-parenting her only child, Tatai, with her ex-husband, Swarnava. On one hand, Swarnava is trying to start a new life with his pregnant student turned second wife, Ronja. Abir was caught cheating with Ronja on his third marriage anniversary with Mili. This led Mili to divorce him. On the other hand, Mili seeks emotional refuge in Asif, a painter, after her divorce with Swarnava. On the stormy night, Swarnava is emotionally compelled to stay at Mili's apartment in order to take care of their severely fever-stricken son, Tatai. That night, they confronted their deep sunken emotions and introspected their failed marriage, metaphorically equated with the malfunctioning refrigerator at her apartment, which is frozen and is on the verge of breaking down. It is used to express their repressed feelings. Structured into three sections—Ice Cube, Melting Point, and Defrost—the film shows both of them accepting their present, realising they can leave their past and walk towards separate futures for the well-being of their child.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chatterjee |first1=Arindam |title=Director Arjunn Dutta talks about the National glory of Deep Fridge |url=https://t2online.in/screen/bengali/-director-arjunn-dutta-talks-about-the-national-glory-of-deep-fridge/2000744 |access-date=2 December 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|t2Online]] |date=25 August 2025}}</ref>

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
Arani Bhattacharya of ''[[Sangbad Pratidin]]'' reviewed the film and wrote "The story is of two lines but its impact is long lasting. Emotional dialogues, effective screenplay and editing, and a lyrical cinematography elevates this film." She applauded the effective use of "rain" throughout, the greyish characters, the Bengali-ness of the film, the performance of the lead cast - specially Abir, and the music but criticized the over-repetition of the scene in which coffee is being given to Tatai, and the lack of any surprise element, which makes the end predictable.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bhattacharya |first1=Arani |title=ছবির গল্প দু’লাইনের, অভিঘাত সুদূরপ্রসারী, কেমন হল জাতীয় পুরস্কারপ্রাপ্ত ‘ডিপ ফ্রিজ’? |url=https://www.sangbadpratidin.in/entertainment/cinema/bengali-film-deep-fridge-review/ |access-date=2 December 2025 |work=[[Sangbad Pratidin]] |date=22 November 2025 |language=bn}}</ref>

Agnivo Niyogi of ''[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] '' reviewed the film and wrote "The film draws you in with its simplicity and holds you there because every moment feels lived-in." He praised the well written characters, the emotional difference represented between the two characters in each of the three sections of the film, the performances of Abir and Tanusree, their conveyance of emotions through their eyes without speaking every time, the blue-green visual tone used throughout the film, the dim lighting and the metaphorical usage of the fridge. He especially applauded the fact that the director didn't settle for a happy ending and mentioned that the film makes a mark at the end, as the characters "walk into separate futures, with just fewer knots in their mind."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Niyogi |first1=Agnivo |title=Arjunn Dutta’s National Award-winning film ‘Deep Fridge’ dissects a broken marriage |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/arjunn-duttas-national-award-winning-film-is-a-dissection-of-melancholy-in-a-broken-marriage/cid/2135246 |access-date=1 December 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] |date=28 November 2025}}</ref>

Shashwat Sisodiya of ''High On Films'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and highlighted "''Deep Fridge'' is a grim, hopeful, and simultaneously arresting look at marital infidelity." He praised the simple writing of the film, the vibrant yet cold cinematography, the comforting music, Abir and Tanusree's performance as Swarnava and Mili respectively, the simple characters but bemoaned the writing of the other two man and woman.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sisodiya |first1=Shashwat |title=Deep Fridge (2024) ‘BIFFES’ Movie Review: A Deeply Resonant Marriage Story takes a Stand on Infidelity and Hurt |url=https://www.highonfilms.com/deep-fridge-2024-biffes-movie-review/ |access-date=2 December 2025 |work=High On Films |date=4 August 2025}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

Poorna Banerjee of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and noted "Deep Fridge is more than a film — it’s a quiet excavation of the heart, an emotional drama that lingers long after the screen fades. Structured like a three-act tragedy, it’s a thoughtful piece that shows how silence can carry heavier truths than words." She praised the usage of the dying fridge as a metaphor for suppressed emotions, the cinematography with the blue-green colour palette used to display the inner coldness, Tanusree's apt display of her inner turmoil with restless restraint, Abir's controlled and silent emotional conveyance through his eyes and the music. She particularly applauded the film for its reluctance to give easy answers and maintain an ambiguity throughout.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Banerjee |first1=Poorna |title=Deep Fridge Movie Review: A visually stunning & haunting tale of love, loss and catharsis |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/deep-fridge/movie-review/125534237.cms |access-date=1 December 2025 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=25 November 2025}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

Subhash K Jha of ''News24'' rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote "''Deep Fridge'' explores the fragile dynamics of marriage with emotional depth. Despite its flaws, the film leaves a lasting impression on the audience." He criticised the lack of backstory between Swarnava and Ronja, the dispatched mingling of past and present, unexplored characters in the supporting cast and Tanusree's below par performance but praised Abir's articulate acting skills.<ref>{{cite news |last1=K Jha |first1=Subhash |title=Deep Fridge Review: The National Award–Winning Bengali Film Leaves A Lingering Impact |url=https://news24online.com/entertainment/deep-fridge-review-the-national-awardwinning-bengali-film-leaves-a-lingering-impact/624279/#google_vignette |access-date=1 December 2025 |work=News24 |date=1 September 2025}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>

Devesh Sharma of ''[[Filmfare]]'' rated the film 4/5 stars and wrote "''Deep Fridge'' is one of those rare films that handles heartbreak not with spectacle but with a gentleness that feels earned. It examines what remains after a relationship dissolves, and what quietly grows in its aftermath - the ache of a love that didn’t survive but didn’t die either." He praised the poetical use of a malfunctioning refrigerator, the film's division into three segments which have been metaphorically aligned with the fridge, the realism maintained throughout, Swarnava's relationship with Ronja, Mili's relationship with Asif, Ronja's affectionate rapport with Tatai, the emotional dilemma "brilliantly" portrayed by Abir and Tanusree, the cinematography and the emotionally nuanced but sensitive ending.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sharma |first1=Devesh |title=Deep Fridge Review: Arjunn Dutta Crafts a Luminous Portrait of Love, Loss and Renewal |url=https://www.filmfare.com/reviews/bollywood-movies/deep-fridge-review-arjunn-dutta-crafts-a-luminous-portrait-of-love-loss-and-renewal-79543.html |access-date=1 December 2025 |work=[[Filmfare]] |date=25 November 2025}}{{rating|4|5}}</ref>

Walawalkar has performed with many Hindustani classical music exponents like [[Bharat Ratna]] [[Pandit Bhimsen Joshi]], [[Jitendra Abhisheki|Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki]], [[Pandit C R Vyas]], [[Ramashreya Jha|Pandit Ramashreya Jha]], [[Kishori Amonkar|Vidushi Kishori Amonkar]], [[Ulhas Kashalkar|Pandit Ulhas Kashalkar]], [[Suresh Talwalkar|Taalyogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar]], [[Yogesh Samsi|Pandit Yogesh Samsi]], [[Prabhakar Karekar|Pandit Prabhakar Karekar]], Pandit Omkar Gulvady, Pandit Suhas Vyas, Pandit Nana Muley, Pandit Aneesh Pradhan.<ref name="auto5">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-purshottam-walawalkar-the-guru-who-played-with-the-legends-1953477|title=About Panditji's performing career|date=5 December 2017}}</ref><ref name="auto6">{{Cite web|url=https://rec.music.indian.classical.narkive.com/psO7qCK1/notes-from-goa|title=About Panditji's performing career}}</ref><ref name="auto7">{{Cite web|url=https://www.parrikar.org/nibbles/2011/08/11/ramrangs-83rd-birth-anniversary/|title=About Panditji's performing career|date=11 August 2011}}</ref><ref name="auto8">{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/reflections-mw0000806007/credits|title=About Panditji|website=[[AllMusic]] }}</ref><ref name="auto9">{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/release/12662807-Kishori-Amonkar-Samprad%C4%81ya-Carrying-Forward-A-Tradition|title=About Panditji|website=[[Discogs]] }}</ref>

The [[Harmonium]] replaced the [[Sarangi]] in the early 20th century and went through tough times as it first was banned as accompanying instrument by [[All India Radio]] (A.I.R). Hindustani classical music exponents such as Walawalkar (and many others) established the Harmonium as solo instrument in Indian Classical music.<ref name="auto3"/><ref name="auto10">{{Cite journal|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-asian-studies/article/abs/that-bane-of-indian-music-hearing-politics-in-the-harmonium/7A9AC6197EF4E1395E02591FE1C0DAB5|title=About A.I.R|journal=The Journal of Asian Studies |date=August 2011 |volume=70 |issue=3 |pages=657–682 |doi=10.1017/S0021911811000854 |last1=Rahaim |first1=Matt |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

'''New Krishna Bhavan''' ('''NKB''') was a [[vegetarian restaurant]] in [[Malleshwaram, Bengaluru|Malleshwaram]], [[Bengaluru]]. Founded in 1954 by Ramakrishna Prabhu, it ran for seven decades as a family business and primarily served [[Udupi cuisine|Udupi-style]] cuisine, as well as dishes from interior [[Karnataka]] and [[North Indian cuisine|from North India]]. The restaurant closed in 2023.

==History==
Ramakrishna Prabhu, an [[Udupi]] native, moved to Bangalore at the age of thirteen. Starting out as a dishwasher, he eventually established the Janata Hotel in the [[K. R. Market]] area. In 1954, he purchased a property on 33/39, Mill Corner, [[Sampige Road, Bengaluru|Sampige Road]] in Malleshwaram at a cost of {{INRConvert|75000|lk=on|year=1954}} and established New Krishna Bhavan, mainly to cater to employees of the nearby Raja Mill. The restaurant initially had seating for families and a separate self-service section to handle high volumes of food—sometimes up to 3,000 four-[[Anna (monetary subunit)|anna]] meals a day—at speed. Mill workers could avail discount coupons. Students and working bachelors also frequented the restaurant.<ref name="DH">{{Cite news |last=Kumari |first=Barkha |date=6 December 2023 |title=69-year-old New Krishna Bhavan takes last order |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/69-year-old-new-krishna-bhavan-takes-last-order-2798401 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231206044137/http://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/69-year-old-new-krishna-bhavan-takes-last-order-2798401 |archive-date=6 December 2023 |access-date=10 March 2024 |work=[[Deccan Herald]] }}</ref><ref name="HinduOld">{{Cite news |last=K |first=Bhumika |date=16 February 2017 |title=Where ragi mudde is all the rage |url=https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/Where-ragi-mudde-is-all-the-rage/article17312159.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219100659/https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/Where-ragi-mudde-is-all-the-rage/article17312159.ece |archive-date=19 February 2024 |access-date=10 March 2024 |work=[[The Hindu]] |issn=0971-751X }}</ref><ref name="penguinfoodguide">{{Cite book |last=O'Brien |first=Charmaine |title=The Penguin Food Guide to India |publisher=[[Penguin Books]] |year=2013 |isbn=9789351185758 |location=New Delhi |oclc=937701523 }}</ref>

In 1958, the restaurant unsuccessfully petitioned the [[High Court of Karnataka|High Court of Mysore]] in ''New Krishna Bhavan v. The Commercial Tax Officer'', claiming that it did not have to pay sales tax, since a provision in Mysore state's sales tax law had been found unconstitutional; the petition was dismissed the next year.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1960 |title=Writ petition before Das Gupta C.

After the closure of Raja Mill, the self-service area was converted into an air-conditioned dining hall called ''Gopika'' in the mid-1980s, one of a few in Bengaluru at the time.<ref name="DH" /> The restaurant began to receive regulars, primarily Malleshwaram residents who frequented the restaurant at the same time every day, often ordering the same dishes every day, some going on to do so for decades. Many were generational customers, with even expats making it a point to eat at the restaurant while visiting home.<ref name="HinduOld" /> Ramakrishna Prabhu's sons, Sundar and Gopinath Prabhu, eventually took over operations; after Sundar died in 2001, his son Sunil took his place at the age of 24. As the restaurant became more famous, it began serving a more generalised audience and received frequent visits from notables such as actors, cricketers, and politicians.<ref name="DH" /><ref name="HinduLast">{{Cite news |last=Harpal |first=Jyoti |date=28 November 2023 |title=New Krishna Bhavan to shut down on December 6 after dishing out signature items for nearly 70 years |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/new-krishna-bhavan-to-shut-down-on-december-6-after-dishing-out-signature-items-for-nearly-70-years/article67583892.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231201233325/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/new-krishna-bhavan-to-shut-down-on-december-6-after-dishing-out-signature-items-for-nearly-70-years/article67583892.ece |archive-date=1 December 2023 |access-date=4 May 2024 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X }}</ref>

The restaurant ceased operations on 6 December 2023, 69 years after founding. The Prabhus cited exhaustion and a desire to venture into different pursuits, both in themselves and long-time employees, as reasons for the closure. NKB's employees, some of whom had worked there for decades, were in high demand in other restaurants as it wound down. In 2024, its premises was demolished and it became a jewellery store.<ref name="HinduLast" />

==Cuisine==
The restaurant primarily served [[Darshini (restaurant)|darshini]]-style Udupi cuisine, including dishes such as [[idli]]s of various kinds, plain and masala [[Dosa (food)|dosas]], [[Semolina|rava]] dosas, [[neer dosa]]s, [[Mangalore buns]], guliappas (also called [[paddu]]s), shavige ([[vermicelli]]) ''bath'', khara ''bath'' and kesari ''bath''. The signature dish was green masala idlis—fried button idlis in a sauce of onion, capsicum, and spinach.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nair |first=Susheela |date=28 February 2023 |title=From pathrode to tambli, exploring the culinary repertoire of brand Udupi |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/pathrode-tambli-exploring-culinary-repertoire-brand-udupi-173860 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219100706/https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/pathrode-tambli-exploring-culinary-repertoire-brand-udupi-173860 |archive-date=19 February 2024 |access-date=25 January 2025 |website=The News Minute |language=en }}</ref> Kotte kadubus, idlis steamed in smoked [[jackfruit]] leaves, were served on weekends, with the leaves brought from Udupi on Fridays. On government working days, it also served [[ragi mudde]] meals at lunch, unusually for a darshini; the muddes were served with a [[saaru]] of gourds, greens, or lentils.<ref name="HinduOld" /> Other south Indian dishes included [[Salem, Tamil Nadu|Salem]] sambar vada, [[Mandya]] [[Finger millet|ragi]] [[roti]], [[Rice|akki]] roti, Kerala sevai with red pumpkin curry, [[Pongal (dish)|pongal]], [[Bisi Bele Bath|bisi bele bath]], [[holige]], and badam [[Halva|halwa]].

==Daily operations==
NKB's kitchen opened at 04:00 every morning, with the restaurant opening with a limited menu at 07:30 to cater to morning walkers. A tasting of the breakfast menu was sent home to Ramakrishna Prabhu—and later, his wife—every day, for feedback. Dosas was served from 08:00 onwards, and the ragi mudde lunches between 13:15 and 14:15. The six hundred litres of sambar required daily was prepared continuously from 04:00 to 08:00, while coffee grounds were opened one 1-kg pack at a time to keep them fresh.<ref name="HinduOld" />

=== Waste management ===
In 2013, after being extorted for bribes by garbage collectors, the restaurant began handling its own waste management on a daily basis. Dry recyclable waste was directly given to ragpickers, the 300 kg of food leftovers sent to a piggery 30 km from the city, fruit waste and the 50 kg of tea and coffee residue used for manure, and the husk from the 200 coconuts used daily given to a coir ropemaker, with the shells burned to heat water. Disposable plates were switched out for metal plates to reduce waste.<ref name="HinduOld" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mantri |first=Geetika |date=17 September 2017 |title=Meet this Bengaluru man who shows a zero-waste restaurant is possible with a little effort |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/meet-bengaluru-man-who-shows-zero-waste-restaurant-possible-little-effort-68558 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219100706/https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/meet-bengaluru-man-who-shows-zero-waste-restaurant-possible-little-effort-68558 |archive-date=19 February 2024 |access-date=25 January 2025 |website=The News Minute |language=en }}</ref>

==Reception==

=== Critical response ===
Kalpeshraj Kubal of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "''Jhimma 2'' is a story of emotions that also shows a mirror to the viewers, presenting a side of their reality and making them think about the things in life that matter."<ref name=":0" /> Tanvi Lad of [[Anupama Chopra#Film Companion|''Film Companion'']] gave a positive review writing, "It stands out among most female-centric movies because its powerful storytelling doesn’t come across as a lecture on feminism." Lad opined that the film has humour and "serves a veritable buffet of feelings" and further praised the soundtrack writing, "The music composed by [[Amitraj]] is soothing." Concluding Lad lauded the director, crew and cast writing, "Dhome, his crew and the cast deserves a round of applause for telling a story that is compelling without being preachy, which delivers joy and laughter while emphasising the need for us to introspect as a society."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/marathi-review/jhimma-2-review-a-must-watch-film-with-heart-and-humour|title=Jhimma 2 Review: A Must-Watch Film With Heart and Humour|author=Tanvi Lad|date=24 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=Film Companion}}</ref> Akhilesh Nerlekar of ''[[Loksatta]]'' also praised the director, crew and cast. Nerlekar wrote, "A very good story, an equally gripping screenplay and without any pretense of teaching people, they have presented a fun, interesting and equally simple yet thought provoking film." He opined that "Satyajit Sriram's cinematography has come together very well". He appreciated the soundtrack by Amitraj, saying, "[music] brings a different life to the film."

==Features==
According to the scholar Guy L. Beck, the Radha Vallabha Sampradaya has the following features, in comparison with [[Krishnaism|Krishnaite traditions]].{{sfn|Beck|2005|pp=74–76}}
# Its view on [[Radha]] and [[Krishna]] differentiates from normative Krishnaite theology. The Supreme Being in this tradition is Radha, while her consort Krishna is described to be the penultimate step toward the supreme deity,{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=66}} and her most intimate servant.{{refn|group=note|As a precursor to this view can understand the 12th-century poet [[Jayadeva]], in whose ''[[Gita Govinda]]'' (10.9) Krishna beneath Radha.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=76}}}}
# The tradition prefers to remain unaffiliated with any classical philosophical positions{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=67}} and resisted affiliation with the [[Vaishnavism#Four sampradayas and other traditions|four major Vaishnavite sampradayas]].{{refn|group=note|Scholaes sometimes count the Radhavallabhis as an offshoot of [[Nimbarka Sampradaya]].<ref>{{cite book |surname=De |given=Sushil Kumar |year=1942 |title=Early History of the Vaisnava Faith and Movement in Bengal from Sanskrit and Bengali Sources |place=Calcutta |publisher=General Printers and Publishers |page=6 note |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.68279/page/n7}}</ref>}}
# It declines to produce theological and philosophical commentaries, based on pure [[bhakti]], divine love.
# The founder and followers lived and lives as householders and [[sannyasa]] is not praised.
# It defines liberation not in terms of moksha or Vaikuntha or Goloka, but as participation as a witnessing companion (''sakhi'') in the divine play of Radha and Krishna.{{sfn|Beck|2005|pp=79-83}}

==Scriptures==
The main scriptures of the sampradaya are created in regional language [[Braj Bhasha]], which is regarded within the tradition as the sacred language associated with Radha and Krishna, both in earthly Vrindaban and in the eternal divine abode. These scriptures emphasize poetry and singing verses rather than philosophical views.{{sfn|Beck|2005|pp=67-68}}
* ''Hita-Caurāsī'' ({{a.k.a.}} ''Caurāsī Pad''): the eighty-four verses (hymns), the principal work of Hita Harivansh.{{sfnm|1a1=White|1y=1977|1p=|2a1=Snell|2y=1991|2p=|3a1=Beck|3y=2005|3pp=67–68}}
* ''Vyāhulau Utsav ke Pad'' (the ''Wedding Hymns of Radha and Krishna''): celebrating the eternal marriage of Radha and Krishna.{{sfn|Beck|2005|pp=86–90}}
* ''Hita Radha Sudha Nidhi'': a Sanskrit stotra traditionally attributed to Hita Harivansh, reflects Radhavallabh theology.{{sfnm|1a1=White|1y=1977|1p=|2a1=Snell|2y=1991|2p=|3a1=Beck|3y=2005|3pp=67–68}}
The Radha Vallabha Sampradaya also preserves a large collection of unpublished poetry composed by later members of its disciplic lineages.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=83}}

== Lineage of Radha Vallabha Sampradaya ==
The [[Radha Vallabh Temple, Vrindavan]], is a famous temple among the sect. In this temple, there is no idol of Shri Radha, but a 'Gādī Sevā' (throne) is placed next to [[Krishna]] to signify her presence.<ref name="Guide">{{cite book |author=Rājaśekhara Dāsa |year=2000 |title=The Color Guide to Vṛndāvana: India's Most Holy City of Over 5,000 Temples |publisher=Vedanta Vision Publication |url={{Google books|Q1cvAAAAYAAJ|page=|keywords=|text=|plainurl=yes}}}}</ref> Beck notes that the throne serves as a symbolic surrogate for Radha, who is considered beyond physical representation in this tradition and reflects her supreme status.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=82}}

The [[kirtan]] "Samaj-Gayan" is the Radha-vallabha's collective style of hymn singing by the [[Hindustani classical music]] forms, such "[[dhrupad]]" and "[[dhamar (music)|dhamar]]".{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=67}} It developed early in Vrindavan and uses Braj Bhasa devotional poetry as a collective form of worship.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=67}}

==Plot==
Hayavadana is 40-year old diligent bachelor in [[Malenadu|Malnad]], who works as a cook in his father Gunda Bhat's hotel "Raghavendra Stores" and also provides food for an orphanage. Everytime Hayavadana tries to impress prospective brides, they reject him due to his age and profession, even his younger brother is married. One day, Hayavadana saves Vaijayanthi, a [[Carnatic music|carnatic vocalist]] from an embarrassing situation at a wedding reception, where Raghavendra Stores is assigned to do catering. After a few circumstances, Hayavadana and Vaijayanthi get married, but an astrologer advises the couple to maintain distance for three days due to religious beliefs. Days later, Hayavadana and Vaijayanthi leave for a resort at [[Thirthahalli]] in order to consummate their marriage.

Meanwhile, Hayavadana's friend "Catch" Kumar, an aspiring publicity-hungry politician and his men, arrive at the resort in order to bring the [[Council of Ministers]] to office as they plan to destabilize the government. Due to this, Kumar becomes an [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] candidate. Having learnt about Hayavadana's secret trip as Kumar's men accidentally kidnapped Hayavadana, Gunda Bhat sends Hayavadana and Vaijayanthi on a honeymoon, where the two finally consummate their marriage. However, Hayavadana and Vaijayanthi learn that they cannot bear children and decide to opt for [[surrogacy]].

Ramachandra, a photographer and Kumar's aide, takes photos of Kumar having an extramarital affair with a party worker and sends it to the media, as Kumar humiliated Ramachandra due to his status as a politician. Having learnt this, Kumar decides to set the orphanage on fire in order to divert the media's attention. However, Hayavadana and his friends manage to expose Kumar's involvement in the fire accident and in providing spoilt food in the name of social service. Kumar escapes in fear of getting arrested, while Hayavadana and Vaijayanthi adopt two children instead of opting for surrogacy.

== Plot ==
Ravishankar is a leading music director in the Tamil film industry. After his wife Sakunthala's death, he stopped composing music and prefers to stay away from society. One day, he gets a letter from his music teacher Krishnamurthy Sastrigal, who stays in Ooty. Ravi leaves to Ooty to meet his guru. Krishnamurthy advises Ravi to come out of sorrow and start concentrating on music again. He also requests him to stay in Ooty for a few days so that it will help him overcome the pain. Ravi agrees and stays in the guest house of Vishnu, who happens to be Krishnamurthy's friend. Chithra is the only sister of Vishnu. Ravi visits Vishnu's house and plays a veena there. Chithra suddenly gets angry and shouts at Ravi not to play that. Later she feels bad for her rude behavior and apologizes to Ravi.

Slowly Ravi and Chithra become good friends. There comes a flashback for Chithra. Vijay is her relative and they both were in love. But one day suddenly, Vijay dies in an accident. Chithra is shocked by the accident, and she cannot recover from it. Following that, Chithra prefers to stay without marrying anyone. Similarly, Ravi tells his flashback where his wife died when the gas cylinder suddenly exploded at his home.

Friendship transforms into love between Ravi and Chithra. But Ravi understands that it was him, who hit Vijay in an accident a few years back, following which he died. This makes him feel guilty and he refuses the marriage with Chithra. Ravi also confesses the truth to Chithra.

Ravi's wife was badly hurt following cylinder explosion. Ravi was driving his car fast as he needs to admit her soon to the hospital. On the way, he hit Vijay who was riding a bike. Vijay was also badly hurt and requests help. Ravi at that moment tries to save only his wife and he leaves Vijay without helping. Vijay dies there. Ravi's wife also passes away. Now Ravi says to Chithra that though it was an accident, he feels guilty of killing a human and that's why he refuses marriage with Chithra. Though Chithra gets angry first, later she understands Ravi's position and the two get married.

== Critical reception ==
[[Subha (writers)|Jayamanmadhan]] (a duo) of ''[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]'' wrote the story gets stuck in a loop; here and there it loses balance. They added that if Dinesh Babu had failed to give pleasantness in Kodaikanal and Ilaiyaraaja had failed to give sweetness to the auditory nerves, the front half would have been sitting on a thorn. Jayamanmadhan called it a pity that even they could not save the second half. They called Sivakumar's flashback as generous but felt the scenes involving Suresh and Nadhiya were superficially treated.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=ஜெயமன்மதன் |author-link=Subha (writers) |date=31 August 1986 |title=உனக்காகவே வாழ்கிறேன் |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki1986-08-31/page/50/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230217132650/https://archive.org/details/kalki1986-08-31/page/50/mode/2up |archive-date=17 February 2023 |access-date=17 February 2023 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |page=50 |language=Ta |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref>

== Introduction ==
The introduction deals with the [[creation myth|mythology of creation]] to relate the [[Luwang]] dynasty prince and the [[Mount Koubru|Koubru]] princess to divine origins. The weird events of the death and then the revival of princess Namoinu are magical.

It is a story of love fulfilled after a near tragic event and is, perhaps, unique of its kind.<ref name="Datta 1987"/><ref name="books.google.com"/> ''Nungpan Ponpi Luwaopa'' ({{Langx|mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯅꯨꯡꯄꯥꯟ ꯄꯣꯟꯄꯤ ꯂꯨꯋꯥꯎꯄ}}|Nūng-pān Pon-pī Lū-wāo-pa}}), also known as ''Nungban Pombi Luwaoba'' ({{Langx|mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯅꯨꯡꯕꯥꯟ ꯄꯣꯝꯕꯤ ꯂꯨꯋꯥꯎꯕ}}|Nung-bān Pom-bī Lū-wāo-ba}}) (the word Nongban denotes the Angom Clan of Meitei, while Nungban denotes the Luwang Clan of Meitei), the leading character of the same name was a Prince of the [[Luwang|Luwang dynasty]] born of King Nungpan Pamingnapa and Queen Santhong Huimuleima.<ref name="The North Eastern Geographer"/> He soon grew into manhood and felt lovesick. He set out alone to cover the wide world in search of a love to quench the thirst of his heart and was welcomed by the King [[Koupalu|Koubru]] when he approached him for a rest. There he met the princess, [[Lainaotabi|Koubaron Namoinu (Lainaotabi)]] and was instantly smitten with her beauty and had his heart lost to her. The princess, formerly the youngest wife of [[Thongalen|Thongalel]], the God of death, who while accompanying her younger brother in law on a sojourn to earth got separated from him and was later adopted by the king as his daughter. Returning home hastily, the prince requested his parents to get the princess engaged to him. And this was carried out without delay with the offer of choice and the delicious fruit in prickles to the king and the queen.
The couple accepted the proposal with a good grace and regarded it as an occasion ordained by Providence. The marriage having been performed with due solemnity, the young couple began to lead a happy and contented life. But this was destined not to last long, for the God did not take kindly to his own wife spending her days as an ordinary mortal in the company of another man. So, her fatal thread was cut short and her soul recalled. However, the distraught Prince did not take his tragic fate lying down and taking the help of Nongta Chinkhanyang, a [[pheasant]], sent a request to the Lord of the netherworld to give back the soul of his wife or take the challenge of a single combat.<ref name="auto">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xf_2DwAAQBAJ&dq=thongarel&pg=PA7 |title=AKASHVANI: Vol. XXXIII, No.12 ( 17 MARCH, 1968 ) |date=1968-03-17 |publisher=All India Radio (AIR) |location=New Delhi |language=en}}</ref><ref name="The Cultural Heritage of Manipur">{{Cite book |last=Meitei |first=Sanjenbam Yaiphaba |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FhUHEAAAQBAJ&dq=pombi+luwaoba&pg=PA183 |title=The Cultural Heritage of Manipur |last2=Chaudhuri |first2=Sarit K. |last3=Arunkumar |first3=M.

Thus, he kept guarding the mortal remains of [[Lainaotabi|Koubaron Namoinu]] without the obsequies being performed. [[Thongalen|Thongalel]] first sent his younger brother armed with deadly weapons for the fight in which the prince settled his opponent's hash and kept him bound under the heavy weight of a slab. The Lord's second brother too met the same humiliation and at last, [[Thongalen|Thongalel]] himself appeared in all splendor in the field of honour. But the prince was prudent enough to realise that he was no match for powerful God, he fell prostrate before him and begged mercy and kindness to restore [[Lainaotabi|Koubaron Namoinu]] to him so that the [[Luwang|Luwang dynasty]] might have further progeny. [[Thongalen|Thongalel]], being visibly moved, readily granted the prayer and left for the dark abode. Thus, the couple were united to live for another hundred years with conjugal bliss and [[Luwang Ningthou Punshiba]], a son was born to them.<ref name="The Cultural Heritage of Manipur" /><ref name="auto"/>

== Epic battle between gods and a mortal ==
The text quotes the fighting words exchanged between Luwang prince Luwaopa and the divine brothers of Lord [[Thongalen]] in a dramatic manner. A few notable lines about the climax of the event are quoted as follows:

{{Blockquote|'''Luwaopa''': ''“Who are you waging battle against the formidable Nungpan Ponpi Luwaopa?”'' 
'''Thongngak Lakapa''': ''“You, [[Bride kidnapping|abductor of other man's wife]], I am the younger brother of [[Thongaren]], king of the dead. How dare you keep my brother in captivity?''
''Set him free at once. This very day, my elder brother the Lord has commanded me to seize and bring you before him dragged by the hair.”'' 
'''Luwaopa''': ''“Your brother is now my captive. If the soul of my beloved is not given back, he shall be [[buried alive]] as a part of her funeral rites. Today I am determined on making another of you for the same purpose. If I fail, there shall be [[Providentialism|Providential judgement]].”''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Ch Manihar |title=A History of Manipuri Literature |date=1996 |publisher=[[Sahitya Akademi]] |isbn=978-81-260-0086-9 |pages=48, 49 |language=en, mni}}</ref>}}

=== First fight : First younger brother of Thongalen vs Luwaopa ===
The first younger brother of [[Thongalen]] was equipped with extraordinary weapons. The arms are a broad fieldstone is the shield, the lightning that flashes in the sky and which is the inseparable protective dart of the [[List of earth deities|mother earth]] (here, she is [[Leimarel Sidabi]]) is his spear, the sword to be tucked in at the loin cloth is the one that shines like a burning flame.<ref name="Singh 1996 48">{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Ch Manihar |title=A History of Manipuri Literature |date=1996 |publisher=[[Sahitya Akademi]] |isbn=978-81-260-0086-9 |page=48 |language=en, mni}}</ref>

Luwaopa outwitted the divine brother by proposing him to wrestle with bare hands. The reason and the logic was that he was fully aware of the invincibility of the elemental weapons held by the divine opponent.<ref name="Singh 1996 48"/>

=== Second fight : Second younger brother of Thongalen vs Luwaopa ===
Again, for the second brother of Thongalen, he was equipped with the dark cloud comes in for his shield, the sharp rain of a [[cloudburst]] for his spear and the sword is the one held by the Lord himself.<ref name="Singh 1996 48"/>

Luwaopa defeated the second brother too by outwitting him in the same manner like before.<ref name="Singh 1996 48"/>

== Analysis ==
The [[Luwang]] dynasty prince was yearning for love when he was growing into manhood. It remotely resembles [[Romeo]]'s earlier romantic fancy for [[Rosaline]] in the play [[Romeo and Juliet]] of [[Shakespearean tragedy]] in [[English literature]]. The Koubru king's love for his daughter shows resemblance to that of [[Kanva]] for [[Shakuntala]] of [[Hindu mythology]]. The in-laws give indulgence to Koubru's only daughter's gentle hands in marriage. She was like a household craft as she was a pampered child in her family. [[Thongalen]], the god of the dead too suddenly comes down to the mortal level when jealousy stirred His heart. He made the medicine-man to take out the soul of lady Namoinu. It was a difficult, unpleasant, and embarrassing situation for [[Thongalen]] as he was cleft-stick bound to agree the challenge of Luwaopa, the mortal prince of the [[Luwang]] dynasty. Thongalen was in a malleable condition when his opponent Luwang prince vowed down before him with faithful love, respect and helplessness.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Ch Manihar |title=A History of Manipuri Literature |date=1996 |publisher=[[Sahitya Akademi]] |isbn=978-81-260-0086-9 |pages=47, 48 |language=en, mni}}</ref>

Since its establishment during the [[South-East Asian theatre of World War II]], No. 4 Squadron remains the only fighter squadron other than [[No. 3 Squadron IAF]] and [[No. 7 Squadron IAF]] to remain continuously in existence in the service of India.<ref name="BRakshak">{{cite web|title=Squadrons and Helicopter Units|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Units/Squadrons/292-Squadrons.html|publisher=Bharat Rakshak|access-date=3 December 2015|archive-date=9 December 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209134909/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Units/Squadrons/292-Squadrons.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="BR1JP">{{cite web|last=Pillarisetti|first=Jagan|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Units/Squadrons/4-Squadron.html#gsc.tab=0|title=No.4 Squadron|publisher=Bharat Rakshak|access-date=30 June 2020}}</ref>

== Crest ==
The squadron adopted the 'Oorial head' as its emblem in December 1944 shortly before the Supreme Allied Commander of [[South East Asia Command]] [[Lord Louis Mountbatten]] visited the squadron. The squadron crest consists of an Oorial head with the Ashoka on top and the squadron Motto 'Honour unto death' written below. When the squadron was formed at Peshawar the Afghan tribals used to conduct regular fights amongst the local mountain sheep known as the Oorial; a subspecies of the [[Urial]], with a red coat. The Oorial is a wild horned mountain sheep, with a very lengthened sense of smell and sight. They have the ability to climb the steepest hillsides with remarkable ease, and are even wary and alert with significant strength and endurance. This animal has the ability of being a ferocious fighter that continues the fight to death rather than lose face and honour by turning away.<ref name="BR">[http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Units/Squadrons/4-Squadron.html No.4 Squadron], [[Bharat Rakshak]]</ref>

During World War II, No. 4 Squadron adopted a live sheep as its squadron mascot — a quirky tradition that began in Kohat and continued through various deployments, including the Burma campaign. The mascot became a symbol of esprit de corps, with wool-shearing ceremonies and mess antics forming a unique part of squadron folklore.<ref>{{cite web |last=Gupta |first=Anchit |title=Woolly Wonders: The Unique Mascot Legacy of 4 Squadron IAF |url=https://iafhistory.in/2022/09/11/woolly-wonders-the-unique-mascot-legacy-of-4-squadron-iaf/ |website=IAFHistory |date=11 September 2022 |access-date=5 May 2025}}</ref>

== History ==
[[File:Mig21atkalai.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Indian Air Force MiG-21 Bison]]
No. 4 Squadron of the [[Indian Air Force]] was first formed at [[Peshawar]] on 1 February 1942.<ref name=Mohan2010>{{cite book |last1=Mohan |first1=PVS Jagan |title=The Westland Lysander in Indian Air Force Service |date=2010 |publisher=Jagan Pillarisetti |location=Hydrabad |pages=21–32 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_bzOcg-Ke6wC&pg=PA31 |language=en |chapter=No.4 Squadron (Feb 1942-June 1943)}}</ref> Squadron Leader Habib Ullah 'Bulbul' Khan was its first [[commanding officer]].<ref name=Mohan2010/> The squadron was first equipped with [[Westland Lysander]] aircraft.<ref name=Mohan2010/> The [[Second World War]] was in its third year, and Japanese forces were advancing towards India's eastern frontiers in the [[South-East Asian theatre of World War II]]. Within a few days, the squadron moved to [[Kohat]] where it would conduct missions over rebel-held areas of the [[North-West Frontier Province]] (NWFP).<ref name="BR1JP" />

In 1942 the squadron moved on a detachment to [[Hyderabad, Sindh]], to operate in support of the army during operations against the [[Hurs]]. The Indian Army was then dealing with the insurrection instigated by [[Faqir Ipi]].

During 1942, the squadron also operated Lysander detachments from [[Miranshah]], a forward base in the North-West Frontier Province, for action against insurgent [[Pashtuns]] in [[North Waziristan]]. During this period the squadron operated its aircraft as bombers, besides carrying out its army air cooperation role, tactical reconnaissance and mail dropping missions.<ref name="BR1JP" />

In June 1942, the squadron moved to the RAF station at [[Risalpur]], near Rawalpindi, for converting onto the [[Hawker Hurricane]] fighter bombers. The conversion training was completed by August 1942 and No. 4 Squadron moved to [[Phaphamau]] to collect its branch new Hurricane IIC aircraft.<ref name="BR1JP" />

In September 1943 the squadron moved from Phaphamau to [[Bhopal]] for air-to-air armament training. It was a disastrous move, as out of the 12 Hurricanes that took off, 3 crashed due to bad weather.

On completion of armament training, the squadron moved to [[Sulur]] in November 1943 to practice for eventual operations in Burma. In February 1944, the squadron moved to Ranchi to carry out special low flying and ground attack training before moving to the front for its operational tour to Burma.

In March 1944, the squadron moved to [[Fenny Airfield]] for operations against the [[Burma campaign|Japanese occupation of Burma]]. The role of the squadron was to provide close air support to the British [[Fourteenth Army (United Kingdom)|Fourteenth Army]] campaign. It was from Fenny Airfield that the squadron carried out its first operational sorties by providing fighter escort for [[Douglas C-47 Skytrain|Dakota]] transport aircraft, engaged in supply dropping missions for the [[Northern Combat Area Command]] in northern [[Burma]].<ref name="BR1JP" />

From August 1944 to January 1945, the squadron was based at [[Cox's Bazar]] to relieve [[No. 6 Squadron RAF]] and carried out close air support, interdiction and tactical reconnaissance operations.

As the British [[Fourteenth Army (United Kingdom)|Fourteenth Army]] pushed the Japanese forces southwards and moved towards [[Rangoon]], No. 4 Squadron was constantly on the move and kept moving from one advanced landing ground to another.

In December 1944, the [[Burma campaign 1944–45|Third Arakan Offensive]] began. The objective being to capture the Maya peninsula [[Akyab]], Ramree island and to contain the Japanese in the Arkan and prevent them from crossing the Arakan Yoma and interfering with the advance of the British Fourteenth Army. No. 4 Squadron operated in direct support of the land forces and bombed Japanese strongpoints at Haparabyin and Ratheduang. During the landing of the Indian troops at Kangow, the squadron laid a smoke screen on the beach to enable safe landing of the troops. In recognition of the services rendered, the squadron's personnel were awarded one [[Distinguished Service Order|DSO]], four [[Distinguished Flying Cross (United Kingdom)|DFC]]s and one [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]]. It is at this time that the squadron adopted the Oorial head as its emblem.

In April 1945, No. 4 Squadron was transferred back to India, ferrying back 9 Hurricanes for conversion onto [[Spitfire]] aircraft. By end of 14 May Spitfire Mk VIIIs were received and conversion training commenced in June. The squadron took part in the [[Victory over Japan Day]] parade at Madras by carrying out a flypast.

In August 1945, the squadron was intimated of the possibility of the Oorials moving to Japan as part of the [[British Commonwealth Occupation Force]]. This was a singular honour for the Royal Indian Air Force and for No. 4 Squadron in particular. Short take off and landing procedures were practiced in preparation for the move to Japan as it was envisaged that the aircraft would be flown off the aircraft carrier onto onshore airfields. The Spitfire had pneumatically operated flaps which could be lowered fully for landing or raised fully up. The squadron devised a method of getting 15 degrees of flaps by inserting wooden wedges.

On 8 April 1946, [[HMS Vengeance (R71)|HMS Vengeance]] sailed with 22 aircraft of No. 4 Squadron, berthed at Singapore for refueling and set course for [[Iwakuni]], a port of Kyushu island. The aircraft carrier finally arrived at [[Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni|Air Station Iwakuni]] and was anchored midstream. The decision taken earlier to fly the aircraft off the carrier was changed since excellent facilities were provided for off-loading and transporting the aircraft.

The squadron was given a temporary base at Air Station Iwakuni until the rest of the personnel arrived. Shortly thereafter, the squadron moved to its permanent location at Miho on Sloustin Island. From here the squadron undertook various flying tasks which were mainly maritime patrol over the sea to ensure there was no subversive activity or smuggling. The stay at Miho was an interesting one and a lot of extracurricular functions were undertaken.

The flight commanders Flight Lieutenant [[Nur Khan]] and Flight Lieutenant [[Shirpurkar]] evolved a pattern of formation flying depicting the letters "IAF". This being the first time such letters were seen in the sky. There were occasional exercises carried out to display the air strength to the local populations while large formations were flown over the big cities.

The squadron returned to India in February 1947 and was located at [[Kanpur]]. They were here when the country achieved independence. In October 1947, the squadron was re-equipped with [[Hawker Tempest#Tempest II|Hawker Tempest IIs]] and became the training squadron for the Indian Air Force.<ref name=BR/>

The squadron phased the [[Mig-21]] from its service on 31 October 2023. The squadron is now being equipped with [[Su-30MKI]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-10-31 |title=IAF fighter squadron converts from MiG-21 to Su-30MKI |url=https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1973505 |access-date=2025-07-04 |work=[[Press Information Bureau]]}}</ref><ref name="HT-311023">{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indian-air-force-phases-out-another-mig-21-squadron-101698732253742.html|title=Indian Air Force phases out another MiG-21 squadron|first=Rahul|last=Singh|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|date=2023-10-31}}</ref>

However,, in Punjab mostly the pro tem speaker become the full time Speaker. The appointment has to be approved by the Governor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/lok-sabha-pro-tem-speaker-kamal-nath-parliament-195667-2014-06-04|title=Pro tem Speaker: All you need to know about this parliamentary post|last=Ashok|first=Akash Deep|date=4 June 2014|publisher=India Today|access-date=21 September 2014}}</ref>

The first meeting after the election when the speaker and the deputy speaker are selected by members of the Vidhan Sabha is held under the pro tem Speaker. In the absence of the speaker, the deputy speaker acts as speaker. In the absence of both, a committee of six members selected by the speaker will act as speaker according to their seniority.

The Speaker of the Assembly must:

==History==
The Venduruthy bridge was built under the supervision of the British engineer [[Robert Bristow (engineer)|Robert Bristow]]. Plans to build bridges to connect Wellington Island with [[Ernakulam]] and [[Mattancherry]] began in 1935.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Praveen |first=M. P. |date=2021-07-06 |title=History remains neglected on Venduruthy bridge in Kochi |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/history-remains-neglected-on-venduruthy-bridge-in-kochi/article35165694.ece |access-date=2023-01-10 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> According to Bristow, constructing the Vendurutti Bridge was an engineering challenge with no guarantee of success. Steel frames were imported from Britain to construct the bridge. Even at a depth of three hundred feet in the embankment there was no rock or solid surface in order to fasten the poles. The foundation was fixed by driving iron pipes into the mud and filling them with stone and gravel. The bridge was built at a time when iron and other metals were scarce. From [[Ernakulam Junction railway station|Ernakulam railway station]], the heavy iron was transported over land and backwaters to the bridge construction site. Rail transport to the Wellington Island became possible with the arrival of Venduruthy bridge. It was because of this bridge that the train reached the ship at [[Cochin Port|Cochin port]] and loaded the goods. The construction of the bridge was completed in 1938 as per the records.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bristow |first=Sir Robert Charles |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KiYuAQAAIAAJ&q=robert+bristow |title=Cochin Saga: A History of Foreign Government and Business Adventures in Kerala, South India, by Arabs, Romans, Venetians, Dutch, and British, Together with the Personal Narrative of the Last Adventurer and an Epilogue |date=1967 |publisher=Paico Publishing House |language=en}}</ref>

The old railway bridge was hit by the dredger ''Kamal 28'' in 2004. After the impact, the speed of freight trains on the bridge was reduced. But on 24 February 2007, the same dredger hit the bridge again causing the rail traffic to be stopped completely. With the completion of the new railway bridge in 2015, the [[Indian Railways|Indian railways]] planned to dismantle the old railway bridge.<ref>{{Cite web |title=കൂകിപ്പായും കൊച്ചി |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/travel/travel-news/2018/07/30/tourist-train-kochi.html |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=ManoramaOnline |language=ml}}</ref> Despite protests being raised against the move to demolish the bridge without considering its historic significance, the Indian railways said that it is not practically possible to maintain the bridge. It was dismantled in March 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Venduruthy Railway Bridge's journey into life's sunset begins |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2018/mar/19/venduruthy-railway-bridges-journey-into-lifes-sunset-begins-1789164.html |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

'''''Asian Affairs''''' is a quarterly [[peer-reviewed]] [[academic journal]] covering research on politics, international relations, and contemporary issues in Asia, with contributions from multiple disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, economics, and cultural studies.<ref>{{cite web |title=About this journal |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/raaf20/about-this-journal |publisher=Taylor & Francis |access-date=14 August 2025}}</ref> It is published by [[Routledge]] on behalf of the [[Royal Society for Asian Affairs]] (RSAA). The journal was established in 1914 as the '''''Journal of the Central Asian Society''''', renamed '''''Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society''''' from 1931 to 1969, and has been published under its current title ever since.<ref>{{cite web |title=About the Journal |url=https://rsaa.org.uk/journal/ |publisher=Royal Society for Asian Affairs |access-date=14 August 2025}}</ref> The [[editor-in-chief]] is Bill Hayton.

==History==
The first issue of the journal was printed in early 1914, following several years of circulated compilations of Society papers that included accounts of meetings and lectures. The inaugural issue featured contributions such as ''A Visit to Mongolia'' by E. Manico Gull, reports of [[Frederick Marshman Bailey|Captain F. M. Bailey's]] explorations, and analyses of China's coal supply.<ref>{{cite book |title=Asian Affairs, Vol. 1, No. 1 |date=1914 |publisher=Royal Society for Asian Affairs |location=London}}</ref> The journal's cover continues to use a variant of the red tone introduced in these earlier publications.<ref name="Leach1">{{cite book |last=Leach |first=Hugh |title=Strolling About on the Roof of the World: The First Hundred Years of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs (formerly Royal Central Asian Society) |publisher=RoutledgeCurzon |year=2003 |location=London |isbn=0-415-29857-1 |pages = 117-124}}</ref>

[[Book reviews]] were introduced in 1921, beginning with [[Percy Sykes|Sir Percy Sykes']] ''A History of Persia''. Subscriptions outside the RSAA's membership followed in 1922.<ref name="Leach1"/> In 1942, during the [[Second World War]], wartime economic measures forced the third and fourth issues to be combined. From 1965 the journal formally adopted this triannual format, which remained in place until 2018.<ref name="Leach1"/> That year, the journal reverted to quarterly publication, originally to accommodate special issues, beginning with a 2018 collaboration with the [[Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars]]; however, the special-issue format was not subsequently continued.<ref>{{cite book |title=Asian Affairs, Vol. 49, No. 2 |date=2018 |publisher=Royal Society for Asian Affairs |location=London}}</ref>

At its inception, the journal was edited by the Secretary of the RSAA, beginning with C. S. Hughes, and assisted by a sub-committee of the Society's now-defunct Council.<ref name="Leach1"/> An [[editorial board]] was established in 1961, at which point the formal post of editor was also created. The first to hold the role was Kay Beckett (''née'' West), formerly of [[Encyclopaedia Britannica]] and [[International Affairs (journal)|''International Affairs'']].<ref name="Leach1"/>
