== Format ==
A team of three complete strangers attempt to answer up to 14 questions over the course of five rounds. The team has to accumulate as much money as possible. In the game, each question is either multiple-choice with one correct answer to be chosen from three options, or a list of three items to be placed in a specified order.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.exchange4media.com/industry-briefing/star-vijay-set-to-launch-new-game-show-divided_91140.html|title=Star Vijay set to launch new game show- Divided|work=Indian Advertising Media & Marketing News – exchange4media|access-date=24 July 2018|language=en-US}}</ref>

The team has 100 seconds to arrive at a unanimous decision on each question, and the money at stake decreases by 1% for each second that elapses before they lock in their choice. A correct answer adds the remaining money to a prize pot, while an incorrect answer cuts the pot in 10%,20% and 30% to the consequent rounds. If the team misses a total of three questions, the game ends immediately and the team forfeits all winnings. The motive of the game begins when the prize money won by the contestants cannot be shared equally rather have to share themselves amicably.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/tamil/divided-a-new-game-show-to-launch-soon/articleshow/65038938.cms|title=Divided, a new game show to launch soon - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref>

Mondhe first encountered photography when he was 17. He subsequently became passionate about photography during his youth.<ref name="HT"/> In a 2016 feature on him by the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', Mondhe said that he used the camera to encapsulate his vision, adding, "I have never considered the camera and the lens as a burden to carry, but as my extension".<ref name="HT"/> Mondhe went on to graduate from the [[Kunstakademie Düsseldorf|Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts]] in Germany.<ref name="HT"/>

Mondhe also developed an interest in sculpting, with the [[Nehru Centre]] hosting his exhibition in October 1993.<ref name="India Today">{{cite web |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/unrestricted-interplay-of-different-kinds-of-material-at-nehru-centre-art-gallery-bombay/1/303662.html |title=Unrestricted interplay of different kinds of material at Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Bombay : YOUR WEEK – India Today 15101993 |newspaper=Indiatoday.intoday.in |access-date= 2 September 2016}}</ref> The magazine ''[[India Today]]'' described his work as "unconventional", mentioning: "Indore-based Bhalu Mondhe uses anything that is handy – any material and any colour, sometimes brush and sometimes fingers – for what he calls 'playing with the material like a child'.

Mondhe's exhibition titled ''50 Years of Rare Art Journey'' was also featured at [[Bharat Bhavan|Rangdarshini Gallery, Bharat Bhavan]], in Bhopal.<ref name="Pioneer">{{cite web |url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/state-editions/bhopal/exhibition-50-yrs-of-rare-art-journey-begins-today.html |title=Exhibition '50 yrs of Rare Art Journey' begins today |newspaper=Dailypioneer.com |access-date= 2 September 2016}}</ref> The exhibition featured a montage showcasing 50 years of Mondhe's art creations, including 90 pieces of sculptures, images, drawings and paintings.<ref name="Pioneer"/> [[The Pioneer (India)|''The Pioneer'']], covering Modhe's exhibition, described his work as having a "high vision of creativity", mentioning that Mondhe "is an artist with a difference.

===The Sirpur lake revival===
{{Main|Sirpur Lake}}
During the 1990s, Mondhe used to regularly visit the Sirpur lake during the mornings to take photographs.<ref name="Business Standard">{{cite web |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/subir-roy-how-sirpur-lake-was-saved-114041801109_1.html |title=Subir Roy: How Sirpur lake was saved |newspaper=Business Standard|access-date= 2 September 2016}}</ref> On one such occasion, he had a significant argument with a group of slum dwellers who were chopping down a tree.<ref name="Business Standard"/> Soon after, in his effort to protect the lake and neighboring region, Mondhe co-founded The Nature Volunteers Club with [[Ornithology|ornithologist]] Kaustubh Rishi and journalist Abhilash Khandekar.<ref name="Business Standard"/> This group of three worked towards restoring the lake's condition by patrolling the lake regularly, increasing awareness within the society about the lake, investing considerable amounts of their money, communicating with and convincing bureaucrats and politicians, apart from involving institutions like the [[Bombay Natural History Society]] and noted individuals like [[Sunita Narain]] ([[Centre for Science and Environment]]).<ref name="Business Standard"/> Subsequently, due to the efforts of Mondhe and his colleagues, the [[Government of Madhya Pradesh|Madhya Pradesh government]] got involved and improved the infrastructure supporting the lake, apart from fencing off the lake and surrounding region. All this resulted in the Sirpur lake finally becoming a protected [[body of water|water body]] that could securely host resident and migratory birds.<ref name="Business Standard"/>

''[[Business Standard]]'', in an article covering the environmental work of Mondhe and his colleagues, recognized their "remarkably successful effort" in saving and reviving the lake, additionally noting that "in two decades of effort, they have been able to win the support of the larger citizenry and also officialdom, without which such a battle could not have been won".<ref name="Business Standard"/>

Mondhe and his colleagues decided to document their efforts to save the lake in the book titled ''Birds of Sirpur'', which Mondhe co-authored.<ref name="Business Standard"/> Sunita Narain launched the book in October 2012. The book covers details of migratory and resident birds based around the lake, and documents 130 bird species with photographs.<ref name="TNVIndia"/> In all, Mondhe has authored two books covering birds.<ref name="TNVIndia"/>

'''Jadumani Mahapatra''' (alternatively spelled ''Mohapatra''; {{Lang-or|ଯଦୁମଣି ମହାପାତ୍ର}}; 1781–1866) also known as ''Utkala Ghanta'' was an [[Odia language]] poet, [[humorist]] and [[satirist]], who was principal poet during the rule of King Vinayak Singh Mandhata of [[Nayagarh]] princely state in present day [[Odisha]]. He was known for his devotional songs and poems, and also his wit and satire.<ref name=naya/><ref name="Mukherjee1998">{{cite book|author=Sujit Mukherjee|title=A Dictionary of Indian Literature: Beginnings-1850|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YCJrUfVtZxoC&pg=PA140|year= 1998|publisher=Orient Blackswan|isbn=978-81-250-1453-9|page=140}}</ref>

==Biography==
Born at [[Athagada Patna|Athagada Patana]] of [[Ganjam district|Ganjam]], his family shifted to [[Itamati]] in present [[Nayagarh district]] of Odisha when Jadumani was just a child. He studied [[Sanskrit grammar]] from Vidyadhar Mohapatra of Mandhatapur. There is a story about his being the humorist poet in Odiya language. It is said{{By whom|date=October 2017}} that once given a mantra by a yogi (saint) he meditated upon Lord Hayagriba (one of the incarnations of lord Vishnu according to Hindu mythology) for His blessing. When the Lord appeared before him and asked him to express his wish, he to the God's utmost pleasure told how He cleans His nose as He is occupied with different aayudhas (weapons and other armaments) in all his hands, to which the God could not prevent Himself laughing, and blessed him to be a humorist poet from that day and he can write poems instantly without any imagination and thinking at any place, not only restricted to study rooms as poets usually do to write poems. It is also said that as he used the bamboo mat usually left by a dead person's family members at samshan ([[cremation]] ground) while chanting the Hayagriba mantra, for that reason (chanting of Hayagriba mantra sitting on bamboo seat is prohibited in tantra shastra, and thus results with negative effects—poverty) he was poor throughout the life even though he was the ''dewan'' (administrative officer) of the king of Nayagarh. He composed invocations and prayers for [[Lord Jagannath]], the deity of [[Jagannath Temple, Puri|Jagannath Temple]] at [[Puri]]. His noted works include two longer poems in ornate ''riti-kal'' style, ''Raghava Vilasa'' and ''Prabandha Purnachandra''.<ref name=naya>{{cite web | title = Eminnet Personalities| url = http://nayagarh.nic.in/sonofsoil/eminent%20person.html| publisher=[[Nayagarh district]] official website| accessdate = 2014-02-13

Jadumani was a great opponent of Brahmins (one of the four casts among Hindus) for their monopoly in Hindu rituals and misguiding the public in the name of dharma (religion). To teach Brahmins a lesson, he once invited a group of vedanti Brahmins on one of the anniversary of his late father and applauded them with lavish meals. After the bhojan (eating of meals), he told them that his late father had always a wish to see to have chadoos (a lining on the forehead with a hot rod of any kind by lightly touching) on the foreheads of Brahmins, and thus applied with a gold stick the chadoos on the Brahmins and the Brahmins could not deny that due to fear of raj danda (punishment by king's men)as he was the dewan of the then king. Since all the Brahmins on that occasion were very much ardent in vedant philosophy, it hurt them so much that on the same day at noon on the bank of Kusumi river, the 108 Brahmins chanted the bramha gayatri (principal gayatri mantra) with tears rolling from their eyes due to that great insult. All of a sudden a great lightning appeared on the cloud and burst upon Jadumani's only son Bhartuhari and he died on the moment. Jadumani later repented on that event of insulting Brahmins and went to [[Puri]] to see lord Jagannath and sang a song named ''Jagannath janana'' (a devotional poem on Jagannath).
His satirist-humorous poems known as ''Jadumani Rahasya'' and anecdotes of his wit and practical jokes are also popular. Though he does not have a complete work to his credit as a humorist, some 100 short and witty compositions have remained in circulation and part of oral folklore, they were collected as ''Jadumani Rahasya'', and later in ''Jadumani granthabali'' (Collected works) in 1965.<ref name="Lal1992">{{cite book|author=Mohan Lal|title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature: sasay to zorgot|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KnPoYxrRfc0C&pg=PA3853|year=1992|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|isbn=978-81-260-1221-3|page=3853}}</ref><ref name="Datta1988">{{cite book|author=Amaresh Datta|title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature: devraj to jyoti|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zB4n3MVozbUC&pg=PA1613|year=1988|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|isbn=978-81-260-1194-0|page=1613}}</ref>

He was a contemporary of Kabisurjya [[Baladeba Ratha]]. Once when he was in [[Puri]] at lord Jagannath temple while offering his prayer for his son's death, he met Baladeba Ratha who was also singing the ''sarpa janana'' (a song comparing Jagannath with a sanke) after his son's death. Both great poets of Odisha knew each other from the caliber of each one's song (the depth and meaning of the song which are very high). It is said that he once asked a question to Baladebaa Ratha who had first asked a question to Jadumani through letter before their meeting at Puri. Jadumani easily answered the question put by Kavisurya but the latter could not provide the former's. For readers fond of ''riti kavya'' (classic poetry—ornamented with word mastery), below is that very question asked by Utkal Ghanta Jadumani Mohapatra.

The answer to the above question is ''abira'' (or ''fagu / falgu'' in Odiya or color used in [[Holi]]). The meaning justifies as follows: ''abira'''s vibrant color defeats the color of the sun (Answer 1), 'abira' means who is not ''bira'' (or warrior) he can sell his weapon to earn a living (Answer 2), 'abira' = abi (goat in Odiya)+ ra (possessive)meaning that goat always fears to go near to water (Answer 3), and 'abira' = (a (vishnu)+bi (pakshi or [bird])+ ra (possessive)) which means [[Garuda]] the [[vahana]] of Lord Vishnu who never fears snakes (Answer 4). This single question raised as a poem shows the versatility of Jadumani's word mastery and the depth and breadth of his poetry.

He died in 1868 in the village Itamati, Dist. Nayagarh.<ref name=naya/>

'''Jahar Dasgupta''', (born 1942) is a [[Contemporary art|contemporary]] painter from India.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Stories-of-life/284306/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=21 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925002829/http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Stories-of-life/284306/ |archive-date=25 September 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Early life and education==
Jahar Dasgupta's childhood spent in [[Jamshedpur]] where at the small age he used to draw elephants, dogs, trees on the floor. Later their family moved to [[Dhanbad]] due to his father Mr. Narendranath Dasgupta who worked in TISCO in an executive post left the job and joined [[Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research]] institute as a scientist. At the age of 9 he draw [[Stalin]] face and Ma [[Sarada Devi]] on the wall. This took the attention of his parents and they decided to send him in some art school. In 1960 he was admitted to [[Visva-Bharati University]] at [[Santiniketan]], the place of [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. That was a turning point in his life. In [[Kala Bhavana]], he took his primary lessons under mentors like [[Nand Lal Bose]], [[Ramkinkar Baiz]] and [[Benode Behari Mukherjee]]. In 1964, he obtained diploma from Kala Bhavana.

His first job was an art teacher in a non Bengali school in North Calcutta where he served for many years. In his struggling time, he also took many art tuitions to run his family. Simultaneously he continued to participate art shows regularly.

==Career==
[[File:Jahar Dasgupta with painting.jpg|thumb|right|Dasgupta in front of his solo exhibition at [[Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata]] 2006]]

Dasgupta had developed his individual style in paintings and drawings. Previously he has painted in oil medium and now he mainly works in ink, pastel and acrylic colour.

His first solo exhibition organised in Birla Academy. His others solo exhibitions took place in Laxmana Art Gallery, [[Lalit Kala Academy]], Chitrakoot, [[Academy of Fine Arts, Calcutta]]. He exhibited his first solo in abroad in 2004 at Gallery Hansmania ([[Norway]]) and later at Club Bangladesh ([[Sweden]]). Dasgupta also participated many group exhibitions throughout in India and abroad. Group shows like Aakriti Art Gallery, Birla Academy, [[Academy of Fine Arts, Calcutta]], [[Jehangir Art Gallery]], [[AIFACS]], Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, [[India Habitat Centre]], [[Nehru Centre]], Lokayata Art Gallery, Chemould Art Gallery, Mulk Raj Anand Centre and many other places. His paintings exhibited in [[South Korea]], [[London]], [[Paris]] and [[Canada]]. He was invited at NABC in 2010 hosted by Kallol a non-profit socio-cultural organization of Bengalis, [[New Jersey]]. After that his last solo exhibition was organised by Tagore Society at 60,000 square metres (6.0 ha) performing arts center located in Marina Bay popularly known [[Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay]] [[Singapore]] in the year 2011.

===1969–1971===
In 1969, a few kind souls, total seven ex-students of [[Santiniketan]] like Jahar and Baroda Art College students came together to form a group named Painters' Orchestra, now one of the oldest artist groups in India. Since that time Jahar Dasgupta is regular participant in the group shows of this organisation and also went for few solos as well. His first solo exhibition was organised in Birla Art and Culture Kolkata, West Bengal. He developed his own style of expression since the beginning of 1970-s after passing through a period of apprenticeship during 1960-s. In this sense he may be categorised as an artist of 1970-s.

===1971–1980===

End of 1960s and beginning of 1970s was a period of political turmoil. The left movement in the fold of CPI(ML) rose to its peak ushering in deaths and murders in a devastating measure. The [[Bangladesh liberation war]] of 1971 also created great commotion. All creative persons were somehow or other affected by these incidents. All these social upheavals had great impact on his creative self. In early phase his paintings often revealed reality in its crudest form. An acrylic canvas of 1994 titled 'Scrap' shows clusters of dilapidated human bodies tied together are being pulled up from a crate by a crane.

===1981–1999===
[[File:End of an era 1975.jpg|thumb|1975 work 'End of an era' by Jahar Dasgupta]]
Jahar never tried being repetitive with one fixed subject. He explored with various subjects and style in different forms in respective times. In one side 'End of an Era', 'Genocide', 'Waiting for Godo', 'Dark side of Civilization', Series of 'Confrontation', 'Shelter' are the reflection of anger and crude rebellion. On the other side through 'Mermaid' series, 'Fall of Radhika' series, 'Eternal Love' series, he touch the chord of beauty ingrained in life. His paintings at that time swing between the two aspects of this duality, ideal and the real, good and evil, light and darkness.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20140106165857/http://rcmadhyamgram.org/ Rotary Club of Madhyamgram] recognised by([[Rotary International]]) facilitated him with Lifetime Achievement Award in Fine Arts in the year 2000.

===2000–2009===
[[File:Confrontation I.JPG|thumb|Confrontation]]
In this era, Jahar mainly concentrated on nature, animal and woman in his canvases. The drawings have been mostly done in dry pastel both in monochrome of black and white. The canvases in acrylic open up various aspects of ideal beauty. The widespread nature of rural Bengal reveals its colourful faces. The nature is transformed into supernatural. These paintings narrates full of life, love, spirit, joy and fantasy.

Sandip Ray, young film director from Bengal who filmed Himghar in 1996, met Dasgupta and showed interest for a documentary on artist. Later, in 2001, he completed the documentary named 'Bornomoy Jahar' and screened at [[Nandan (Kolkata)|Nandan]].

===2010–present===
[[File:Drawing VIII.jpg|thumb|An untitled work by Jahar Dasgupta]]
While attending a talk entitled 'Nadir Bhabna' (Musings of the river) by Shri [[Alokeranjan Dasgupta]], the artist Shri Jahar Dasgupta encountered a mind blowing experience. Acknowledged gratefully by the painter, the inter-face opened for him the doors to the world of Bergson and his revolutionary thinking.

This was his very first acquaintance with the philosophy of the French thinker and evolutionist [[Henri Bergson]] (1894–1941). The uplifting spiritual content of Bergson enkindled the thought process of the artist. All the present series and solos is a living tale of the journey. In fact he is the first artist to apply the theory of Bergson into fine art. This is a very rare and unconventional thinking by Jahar where he blends the science and art beautifully into his canvas.

Shri Dasgupta's creative impulse is enthused by this Aristollean 'entelechy' – the endowment that gives rise to the potential of the vital force. This by itself becomes the prime moves of the artist's imagination. In his depiction of the teeming world of the humans, the birds and beasts and the minutest of insects, he does not change the outward form. The artist in him understands that every moment is changing and leaving the imprint of its transience on the inner mechanism of the body. There by it creates an abstract form within which in its turn is represented with a candid intensity of the artist.

Dasgupta's recent work on Jesus Christ series and a huge mural on MADHABI daughter of [[yayati]] from [[Mahabharata]] is also a notable work from recent times.

===Politics===
In the 70s, like many people from art and cultural field in [[West Bengal]], Jahar was among those who attracted to left ideologies and immediately attached to [[Gananatya]] Sangha. He twice stood on Panchayet vote under left wing parties at Madhyamgram North 24 Parganas in 1974 and 1984.

Jahar Dasgupta was the former President at Academy of Fine Arts in [[Kolkata]] where he lives and works. He is also working as a principal of an art academy Swarsangam- Birla Institute of Visual and Performing Arts.

'''Haralayya''' was a 12th-century [[Lingayatism|Lingayat]] saint and poet of [[Vachana sahitya]] in India. He joined [[Anubhava Mantapa]], the hall created by [[Basava]], where every caste was welcome.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=S.S.MALWAD|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GRTDAgAAQBAJ&pg=PP12&dq=haralayya#q=haralayya|title=Basaveswara|last2=Litent|date=2014-01-01|publisher=Litent|language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
Haralayya was born in [[Basavakalyan|Kalyan]], [[Karnataka]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Singh|first=Nagendra Kr|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Xcpa_T-7oVQC&pg=PA739&dq=haralayya#q=haralayya|title=Global Encyclopaedia of the South Indian Dalit's Ethnography|date=2006|publisher=Global Vision Publishing House|isbn=978-81-8220-168-2|language=en}}</ref> He was a [[Cobbler (shoemaker)|cobbler]] and an ardent follower of [[Basava]], who founded [[Lingayatism]]. He married Kalyanamma, who was also a follower of Basava.

Once he met Basava on the streets and greeted him, eliciting a polite reply Basava. Haralayya was dumb struck that he was greeted so courteously by the king's treasurer. Later he regretted that he did not answer Basava's greeting and failed to show humility. So he and Kalyanamma decided to offer footwear made from their own skin to Basava. But Basava refused to accept the gift, because he did not regard himself worthy.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Schouten|first=Jan Peter|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eo0JR8nH3I8C&pg=PA48&dq=haralayya#q=haralayya|title=Revolution of the Mystics: On the Social Aspects of Vīraśaivism|date=1995|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publishe|isbn=978-81-208-1238-3|language=en}}</ref>

On his way back home, Haralayya met Madhavarasa, a Brahmin minister of Kalchuris, who tried to snatch the shoes and take them with him, but because of this misdeed, he contracted [[leprosy]]. His maid took him to Haralayya to cure him, and after bathing in water from Haralayya's tank, he healed. Madhavarasa apologized to him and took 'Istalingadiksha' and became a follower of [[Lingayatism]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Haralayya and Kalyanamma|url=https://lingayatreligion.com/Sharanaru/Haralayya_and_Kalyanamma.htm|website=Lingayat Religion|language=en|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref>

Basava arranged the marriage of Madhavarasa's daughter, Lavanya, to Haralayya's son, Sheelavantha, which resulted in strong opposition by [[Bijjala II]], the ruler of [[Kalachuris of Kalyani|Southern Kalachuris]]. Offended by the decision, he killed both Madhavara and Haralayya's family.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Basava and the emergence of Lingayat identity|url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/6bBqSNlafYePpSP9R3NulN/Basava-and-the-emergence-of-Lingayat-identity.html|last=Pillai|first=Manu S.|date=2017-07-28|website=Livemint|language=en|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref>
