Cricketer Chetan Chauhan

Chetan Pratap Singh Chauhan is a former cricketer who played 40 Test matches for India.

He was twice a Member of Parliament, elected to the Lok Sabha from Amroha in Uttar Pradesh.

One of the most courageous opening batsmen in Indian cricket, Chetan Chauhan will be chiefly remembered as Sunil Gavaskar's partner in numerous Tests in the 70s and early 80s. The pair is the most successful Indian opening pair with ten century partnerships. Chauhan had technical limitations and his strokeplay was not exactly fluent. But no one could question his courage, his defence and his ability to get behind the line of the ball. He was always a difficult batsman to dislodge and his patience and dogged qualities stood India in very good stead in 40 Tests in the period 1969 to 1981. He made his debut as a 22-year-old against New Zealand at Mumbai and also played against Australia the same season. He was recalled for two Tests against England in 1972-73 but his most prolific period began when he was chosen for the tour of Australia in 1977-78
.

The crowning glory of the Gavaskar-Chauhan partnership came at The Oval in 1979 when they put on 213, breaking the famous long-standing record of Merchant and Mushtaq Ali who put on 203 runs at Old Trafford in 1936. Chauhan's share was 80. He was unlucky not to get a Test hundred, though his aggregate in Tests exceeded 2000 runs (he was the first player in Test history to score more than 2000 runs without a hundred). He was a heavy run-getter in domestic cricket, and represented Maharashtra and Delhi in the Ranji Trophy competition. After retiring, Chauhan became a selector from North Zone and was elected to Parliament on a BJP ticket.

Hitesh Chauhan

Remember Hitesh Chauhan? The guy who chose his bride, Rumpa Roy from the reality show Perfect Bride and got married to her on national television. TellyChakkar found him house-hunting in Mumbai. He says, "We are no longer a newly-married couple and have gone back to our respective lives. Rumpa has quit her job as fashion designer in Gurgaun and is staying with my parents in Chandigarh, while I am in Mumbai looking for a good house to live here. Both of us are planning to move to Mumbai within some time and start our careers afresh here.

It will be a long struggle ahead but we shall overcome!" he says flashing his dimpled smile.

So, where did the two go on a honeymoon? Hitesh smiles shyly, "We were running short of time; so we decided to go to a place closer. Goa fit the bill!" Also, Hitesh's family astrologer had asked them to not to go to any faraway place just after they got married, so the couple obliged. "We have immense faith in him; so we respected his advice. However, we are planning a trip to Mauritius."

Goalkeeper Devesh Chauhan was the best Indian player

The 25th Champions Trophy may have seen a dramatic change in the fortunes of the Indian hockey team, but there were some players who excelled with their brilliance and consistency.

Goalkeeper Devesh Chauhan, no doubt, was the best Indian player during the tournament. He has proved to be one of the finest goalkeepers in the world and will keep improving.

I had spotted Chauhan during the Bangalore Junior nationals in 1999. Fortunately I was with IHF president K P S Gill to see the talent of this young boy. From then on, Chauhan has reached this height purely on the basis of his hard work and willingness to learn. This has made him represent the country at the Sydney Olympics, World Cup and the Asian Games at the tender age of 22. It has been an astounding progress for the youngster.

Chauhan had conceded a few goals which he could have

Stopped during the last Champions Trophy in Cologne, but in this edition he was brilliant right through the tournament. He has improved his goalkeeping consirably and is a tower of strength for the team. He will be an asset for the team in the years to come.

Jugraj Singh is another player who has improved considerably in recent times and had some good moments during the elite six-nation tournament. He has not only improved his field game, but has also curtailed his rough tackling. He defended the penalty corners with authority. His emergence is good for Indian hockey as many young fans may want to follow this youngster.

Gagan Ajit Singh, Prabhjot Singh and Deepak Thakur also excelled in their departments. The Indian team needs more such young players who have the energy, eagerness and the spirit to excel.

But overall the Indian combination was not at its best. May be the Indian team did not move smoothly in their passes and the strategy between the deep defenders and midfielders left much to be desired.
Though coach Rajinder Singh must have definitely planned his strategy, it was not executed by the players in most of the matches. This may be due to the fact that the other teams put more pressure on the midfield which was the strength of the Indian team. The team thus succumbed to pressure time and again.

I thought the performance of young Kanwalpreet Singh, Viren Rasquinha, Bimal Lakra and Ignace Tirkey was extremely disappointing. They all possess excellent qualities but somehow failed to deliver the goods in such an important tournament.

If these players can realise on their own as to why they played so badly, it will be good for the team. It is high time the players learnt to handle pressure in such big tournaments.

I think there are some issues which need to be addressed immediately if the hockey authorities want to bring about an improvement in the standards. Poor Rajinder Singh had no man-management support during the tournament. All the teams have such a support system team but sadly the Indians don't have it.

I suppose we should have a separate coach whose job should be to collect material on the other team's strategy and pass them on to the chief coach. A hockey manager, who will be making the arrangements for team camps and logistics, a doctor, a physical trainer and a physiotherapist must accompany the team. The Australians are following this method for the last ten years and it is a permanent structure.

It is also high time we have a video man who shoots all the matches and provides the clippings to the coach immediately after the match. The coach can discuss the lapses with the players. This will help the players rectify the mistakes.

Since the team has a big sponsor in 'Sahara', it should be an easier task for the team to put in place such a back-up team from this year.

I have also come across a statement from an IHF official in Amstelveen hinting at the appointment of a foreign coach. It was totally ill-timed. When the team is in the middle of a tournament, such statements undoubtedly put further pressure on the coach. There is always a better time and place for talking about such important issues

Sunidhi Chauhan concert: Hundreds flock Qutub

 Hundreds of people flocked to the Qutub Complex in Mehrauli on Friday to enjoy a performance by Bollywood singer Sunidhi Chauhan. The concert marked the first day of the five-day Qutub Festival 2011 which was organized by the department of art, culture and languages, government of Delhi, and the Punjabi Academy.
Over the next five days, Bollywood singers Sonu Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh, KK, and Shreya Ghosal will also take the stage at the complex.
Although the festival has always been associated with Sufi music, it seems that the incorporation of more contemporary music has been appreciated as well. As people walked towards the venue, overlooking the iconic Qutub Minar, they hummed songs by the famous singer. Many went berserk with excitement on catching the first glimpse of Chauhan as she pulled into the grounds of the complex in a white Mercedes.
People occupied their seats well in time for the concert to begin. And with several rows at the front of the stage blocked exclusively for VIPs, it's a good thing that they did.
Before Chauhan finally came on stage, an hour after the scheduled time of 7pm, Abhijeet and Sanjeev, two music composers, performed a new number, Dilli Dil Hindustan Ka. Indian Idol season 5 finalist Rakesh Maini also sang a couple of songs after an instrumental music performance by a live band.
But it was only when Chauhan started singing her hit number, Crazy Kiya Re, that the crowd got revved up. They all stood up in applause, some on their chairs to get a better view and some who rushed to the front.
As she performed her popular numbers, such as Beedi, Ainwayi ainwayi, Desi girl, Sheila ki jawani, one after another, she interacted with the crowd and urged the audience to sing along. Most were only happy to oblige.
"I enjoy her songs a lot as they're upbeat and good to dance on. The weather and ambience are also perfect so I'm having a really great time," said engineering student Manish Kumar.
Ajit Singh, a class XII student, who was dancing in the lawns of the complex, also said he was having a blast. "I'm also looking forward to Sonu Nigam's performance tomorrow and will definitely attend that as well," he said.

Music's passion, not work for me: Sunidhi

The scintillating and ever graceful singer Sunidhi Chauhan who started singing at the age of four has now been credited with over 2000 songs. Here's Sunidhi Chauhan in a tete-a-tete with TOI...

Did you recently record a song with Enrique?
Yes I did. It was a wonderful experience and the song has turned out well. It will release soon.

'Sheila Ki Jawani' and 'Munni Badnam Hui' were the hottest item numbers of 2010. Which is your personal favourite?
Obviously, Sheila as I've sung it, but I also like Munni and I groove whenever it is played.

You have worked with Vishal and Shekhar many times. How well do you bond with them?
We are very good friends and have recorded many songs together. We enjoy a lot while working. Sometimes, we only end up talking rather than working.

Which is the best song you have sung so far?
'Le Chale' from My Brother Nikhil .

Do you think it's the era of raunchy item numbers?
There is nothing fixed in case of music. Raunchy numbers did well in past and will continue to do so. A song is accepted if it sounds good and soothing to the ears.

Do you think that the singers do not enjoy as much recognition as the actors do?
Actors are the front face of a movie but songs form an essential part of a movie. Songs are the first thing that attracts people. In a way both complement each other. Moreover, people recognize us also. Lakhs of people gather only to see us performing.

Why did you choose singing as a profession?
Singing just happened to me. I started singing at the age of four and I knew that this is the only thing I could do. Singing is more like a passion than work for me.

Your inspiration for music...
Music itself is an inspiration!

Your favourite singer...
I love Lata Mangeshkar's singing; she is a Goddess to me. I also adore Mahalaxmi Iyer, Sadhana Sargam and Reshma.

Any plans of acting?
A firm no.

Are you seeing someone?
No, I'm not!

Jagjit Singh Chauhan

Dr. Jagjit Singh Chauhan (or Chohan) was the original founder of the Khalistan movement that sought to create an independent Sikh state.

Chohan, a Sikh Rajput from the Chauhan clan, grew up in Tanda in Punjab's Hoshiarpur district, about 180 km from Chandigarh. A medical practitioner, Dr. Chauhan was first elected to the Punjab Assembly from the Tanda as a candidate of the Republican Party of India in 1967. He became Deputy Speaker when the Akali Dal-led coalition Government took office in Punjab. When Mr. Lachhman Singh Gill became Chief Minister, Chauhan was made Finance Minister. In 1969, he lost the Assembly election.


In Exile

In 1971 he moved to the United Kingdom. In 1971, he went to Nankana Sahib in Pakistan to attempt to set up a Sikh government. He then visited USA at the invitation of some supporters. On Oct 13, 1971, he placed an advertisement in the New York Times proclaiming an Independent Sikh state. In 1977, he returned to India.

He migrated again to Britain in 1979. In London, Chauhan created an organization "Khalistan National Council"  and ran its operation from a building termed "Khalistan House". He remained in contact with Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Chauhan also maintained contacts among various groups in Canada, the USA and Germany. He visited Pakistan as a guest of leaders like Chaudhuri Zahoor Elahi. Chauhan declared himself president of the "Republic of Khalistan", named a Cabinet, and issued Khalistan "passports", "postage stamps" and "Khalistan dollars". It is reported that with the assistance of a wealthy Californian supporter, a peach magnate, he opened an Ecuadorean bank account to support his operation.

Operation Blue Star and later

On 19 July 1982, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who was accused of the murders of Lala Jagat Narain and Baba Gurbachan Singh Nirankari, moved into the sanctuary of the Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple) complex. According to reports he fortified the complex and began to stockpile weapons. In June 1983, Bhindranwale was asked: "If Jagjit Singh Chauhan attacks India with assistance from England, America, and Canada, whom will you help?" Bhindranwale hedged and did not indicate his support.

To flush out Bhindranwale and his supporters from the Harimandir Sahib, a government operation codenamed Operation Blue Star was undertaken on June 5–6, 1984 in which Bhindranwale was killed.

On June 12, 1984 in London Chauhan was interviewed for his reaction in a BBC interview. The interviewer asked: "Do you actually want to see the downfall of Mrs. Gandhi's Government?" Chauhan answered: "..within a few days you will have the news that Mrs. Gandhi and her family has been beheaded. That is what the Sikhs will do..". After this interview, Thatcher government curtailed Chauhan's activities. The British government had also instructed him to confine his activities within the bounds of democracy and the laws of the land.

On June 13, 1984, Chauhan announced a government in exile. On 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated.

Chauhan's Indian passport was cancelled on April 24, 1989 by the Indian High Commission after he visited India and hoisted the flag of Khalistan at a gurdwara at Anandpur Sahib. India raised a storm when he was allowed to enter USA using the canceled passport.

Vancouver fundamentalists Talwinder Singh Parmar and Surjan Singh Gill were at one time aligned with Chauhan.

Softening and return

Chauhan gradually softened his stance. He supported India's attempts to defuse the tension by accepting surrenders by the militants. Other organizations, mainly in UK and North America, continue to work for a Khalistan.

India government first permitted his wife to return. Chauhan himself returned to India in June 2001, after an exile of 21 years. The government decided to overlook his past activities.

After his return, in an interview Chauhan said he would keep the Khalistan movement alive "democratically" and claimed that he has always been against violence.

Chauhan is said to have suggested that he is a descendant of the legendary king Prithviraj Chauhan of Delhi and he can assist in getting the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan back to India from Afghanistan.
Death

Soon after Chauhan returned to India, he started a political party named the Khalsa Raj Party, apparently with the aim of propagating the cause of Khalistan through peaceful means. In a 2004 interview he claimed that Khalistan will be formed in 2007.[3] When asked, "Has the recognition by the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation [U.N.P.O.] at the Hague given a boost to the movement?", he said, "Yes. Apart from that we already have three-four MPs in the British Parliament. Kashmir has four-five MPs. Our movement is coordinating with the Kashmiris."

He died on April 4, 2007, aged 78 at his native village Tanda in Hoshiarpur District of Punjab, where he ran a charity hospital

Kanhad Dev

Kanhad Dev Sonigara was a Rajput Maharaja who ruled Jalore, in the present-day Indian state of Rajasthan, in the 13th century CE. He belonged to the Sonigara sect of the Chauhan clan of Rajputs.

In 1298, Ala ud din Khilji's Mongol general Ulugh Khan asked permission of Kanhad Dev to march through Jalore to conquer Gujurat and destroy the temple at Somnath. When Kanhad Dev refused a war ensued. In 1299 Ala ud din sacked the temple and broke the Shiva lingam that had been worshipped there. He was carrying the broken pieces back to Delhi when he was attacked and defeated by Kanhad Dev Sonigara's armies. Kanhad Dev's son Biramdeo (Viramdev) and trusted general Jaitra Deora were in charge of his army. The broken pieces of the Shiva lingam were recovered. Kanhad had them washed in water from the Ganges river, which was regarded as sacred, and then placed within various Shiva temples in and around Jalore. This story is recounted in the 16th century ballads Padmanabhama and Kanhad Dev

Hammir Dev Chauhan

Hammir Dev Chauhan was a direct descendant of Prithviraj Chauhan. He was an Agnivanshi Rajput. Hammir ruled over Ranathambore from 1282-1301. Hammir's grandfather Vagbhatta ruled from 1237–1253 and Hammir's father Jaitrasinha ruled from 1253-1281 AD.

Ziauddin Barani describes Hammir’s struggle with Jalaluddin and Alauddin Khalji. Amir Khusrau gives a fairely good description of Alauddin’s attack on Ranthambhore. Ballads of Hammir's bravery are still sung in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Nayachandra Suri, a Jain historian, in 14th century, wrote Hammir's biography, Hammira Mahakavya.

Campaigns

Hammir raided Mount Abu, Bhimaraspura, Dhar, Vardhanpura, Gadhamandala, Champa, Khandela and Kankaroli. These regions comprise whole of Malwa and southern part of Rajasthan. Balvan inscriptions refer these and his two Kotiyagnas. He earned fame and a rich booty in the raids.

In 1290 Jalaludin-Khilji, ruler of Delhi, attacked Hammir because of his rising power. Jalaludin's forces were defeated by Hammir. In 1296, Jalaludin was murdered by Allauddin Khilji. In 1297 Allauddin sent an army to plunder Gujarat, under the generalship of Ulugh Khan and Nusrat Khan. This army looted the temple of Somnath and its Shivalinga was broken into pieces and was being carried back to Delhi. Kanhad Dev Songara, ruler of Jalore attacked and defeated Ulugh Khan and captured the broken Shivalinga which was washed in Ganga-jal and the fragments were established in various temples in Jalore. Muhammad Shah, a neo-Muslim general in Khilji's army, helped Kanhad Dev Songara. In this war, Neo Muslims Muhammad Shah,Kamru, Yalchak and Barq attampted to assassinate Ulughkhan but failed. Hence they took refuge with Hammir at Ranthambore. Under these circumstances, Hammir was justified[by whom?] in winning over Allauddin's enemies to his side. But it would have been better to win affection of his people and good will of his neighbours.[citation needed] Instead, he taxed his people very heavily to maintain his big army. He even ill-treated his minister and financier, Dharamsinh. Hence, differences between him and his half-brother Bhoja were created by Dharamsinh. Bhoja afterward sought asylum in Alauddin's Camp.

Ulugh Khan went and apprised Allauddin who ordered him and Nusrat Khan to conquer Ranthambore. In 1299 they started out with 80,000 cavalry and a large infantry to attack Hammir. The Muslim governors tried to negotiate with Hammir and demanded for Muhammad shah and Kamru’s death, 10,000 gold coins, 300 horses, 4 elephants and the hand of Hammir’s daughter Devaldevi. The terms were rejected. Hammir's army repulsed the attack and killed Nusrat Khan. Ulugh Khan escaped and reached Delhi.

Khilji was taken aback by this defeat and wanted revenge. He finally came himself in 1301, and there was a long siege. Hammir was very well prepared, but Famin was a great hurdle to him. When the fort did not fall after repeated bloody skirmishes, Khilji resorted to diplomacy by taking advantage of dissatisfaction and treachery due to Famin and won over confidence of two of Hammir’s generals, Ratipal and Ranmal. Hammir was very suspicious but he heeded to his councillors who told him that sword is not always the best recourse. Ratipal and Ranmal were sent to the Khilji camp to negotiate. Khilji bribed these two generals of Hammir's army. Both the generals along with others slipped away and joined Alauddin’s camp. Ultimately war was declared. Hammir died in the war. Consequently, Ranthambore fell on July 10, 1301. Others who died with him were the brave Viram, the lord of Champa, Taka Gangadhara, Parmar Kshetrasinha, Rajda and Simha.

Sack of Ranthambore

Hamir Dev, a descendant of Prithviraj Chauhan ruled Ranthambor. Seventeen kilometers from Sawaimadhopur stands a fort, encompassing in its stately walls, a glorious history of the Rajputs. Ranathambhor's venerable structure, rapturous beauty and sublime expressiveness seem to be continuously vocalizing the great legends of Hamir Dev, the Rajput king, who ruled in the 13th century.

Hamir Dev belonged to the Chauhan dynasty and drew his lineage from Prithviraj Chauhan who enjoys a respectable place in the Indian history. During his 12 years' reign, Hamir Dev fought 17 battles and won 13 of them. He annexed Malwa, Abu and Mandalgarh and thus extended his kingdom to the chagrin of Delhi Sultan, Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji, who had misgivings about Hamir's intentions. Jalaluddin attacked Ranathambhor and had it under siege for several years. However, he had to return to Delhi unsuccessful.

Jalaluddin was assassinated by his nephew Allaluddin Khilji who then crowned himself as the new Sultan of Delhi. Muhammad Shah was instrumental in making this coup successful which earned him a basketful of privileges. Muhammad Shah was even allowed access to the harem as a result of which he soon built up a good rapport with its inmates.

Chimna was one of Allaudin's begums, but Allaudin never gave her as much attention as other begums of the harem received from him. He had inadvertently managed to antagonize her. To make things worse Chimna Begum saw a valiant soldier in Muhammad Shah and was extremely impressed by his courage and boldness. Soon the vindictive begum and the ambitious Muhammad Shah started a conspiracy to slay Allaudin. Their objective was to see Muhammad Shah as Sultan and the begum as queen. The conspiratorial plans somehow leaked out. Allaudin was enraged as he came to know of Muhammad Shah's intentions. To escape the fury of Allaudin, Muhammad Shah had to flee from Delhi along with his brother. He sought asylum in many nearby kingdom but no one was ready to stand up to the wrath of Allaudin.

Muhammad Shah approached Hamir Dev. The brave Rajput was moved by his humble pleading and misery and agreed to him shelter. Allaudin's ire was roused when he came to know of it. He immediately attacked the fort of Ranathambhor. The armies of Allaudin and Hamir Dev met in a battle on the banks of river Banas. The Rajputs had the initial victory. However, because of the personal feud between the Prime Minister and the Senapati (General-in-charge of the army) Hamir Dev's army got disorganized. The Senapati of the army was Gurdan Saini.[1] The Prime Minister succeeded in getting the Senapati killed. Meanwhile, Allaudin reorganized his forces and made a renewed attack on the fort. Some unscrupulous officers of Hamir Dev, with Bhoj Dev as their leader, colluded with Allaudin and started giving him secret information about the fort. The war continued. The strong walls of the fort were strategically so situated that it was not possible to blow them down with gunpower, for the debris so created had already killed numerous soldiers of the Sultan in their futile attempt to break in to the fort. At last Allaudin sent a message to Hamir Dev saying that in case he was ready to hand over Muhammad Shah to him, he would go back to Delhi. Hamir Dev was too self respecting to make such an ignominious compromise. He sent back the messenger with the reply that when the Rajputs promised to protect someone, they even gave their lives for his safety. Muhammad Shah saw the hopelessness of the situation and conselled Hamir Dev to hand him over to Allaudin rather than fight such a long drawn-out war and suffer such an enormous loss of lives and resources. Allaudin's army was immense. He put a complete siege on the Ranathambhor fort. Bhoj Dev and his informers kept on supplying him information on the food of water situation inside the fort. The ill-fated war bended with the Sultan's legions emerging victorious. The female members of the Rajput kingdom committed jauhar and gave up lives on the pyres. Hamir Dev, himself, severed his head and put it in front of Lord Shiva's idol as an offering.

After the victory, Allaudin entered the fort. Wounded Muhammad Shah was brought to him.

"What is your last desire?" asked Allaudin. "To kill you and place Hamir's son on the throne of Ranathambhor", replied Muhammad Shah. Then he took out his dagger and committed suicide.

Allaudin, now, turned to Bhoj Dev and his other informers. Their faces were keen with eagerness to receive the long awaited reward from the Sultan. On the countrary, Allaudin roared, "Shave of the heads of these traitors. They have not been loyal to their own king".

Within minutes, the heads of all his accomplices rolled on the ground. Allaudin's laughter reverberated against the walls of the fort.

They are said to have inspired great numbers of Indian youth to participate in the Indian Freedom Movement. Here is the opening stanza of Jhansi ki Rani:



simhasan hil uthe, rajavanshon ne bhrikuti tani thi,
boodhhe bharat mein aayi, phir se nayi jawaani thi,
gumi hui azadI ki keemat sab ne pahachani thi,
door firangi ko karne ki sab ne man mein thani thi.
chamak uthi san sattawan mein, woh talwaar puraani thi,
bundele harbolon ke munh ham ne sunI kahani thi,
khoob la di mardani woh to jhansI wali rani thi.

English translation:


The thrones shook and royalties scowled
Old India was re-invigorated with new youth
People realised the value of lost freedom
Everybody was determined to throw the foreigners out
The old sword glistened again in 1857
This story we heard from the mouths of Bundel bards
Like a man she fought, she was the Queen of Jhansi

Subhadra Kumari Chauhan wrote in the Khariboli dialect of Hindi, in a simple, clear style. Apart from heroic poems, she also wrote poems for children. She wrote some short stories based on the life of the middle class too.
