god cannot be present everywhere, therefore he created a woman with half of his qualities

the name of raja narasimha was doing the rounds ever since the party high command said the deputy chief minister would be from telangana. the practice of appointing deputy chief minister was discontinued in the 70s only to be revived briefly in the 90s when koneru ranga rao, a minister from krishna district, was appointed as deputy chief minister in the then congress government led by kotla vijaya bhaskara reddy .

cast: vishnuvardhan, ramyakrishna, rashi, gurudutt, abhijit, shivaram, shobaraj, & others .
the movie is a good family entertainer. clearly the movie and the screenplay was written from start to finish with vishnu in mind. he dominates the movie from start to finish. again the computer graphics that has become a regular feature in vishnu' s movies are a treat to any of his fan' s eyes. couple of special effects like a lightning over vishnu and lions roaring from his eyes are stunning .
brilliant performance from vishnu who appears to have taken over from where he had left in simhadriya simha. rashi and ramya krishna look beautiful. dialogues by m. ramesh is another highlight in the movie. the movie has shades of telugu culture probably because the direction is handled by mutyalu subaiah. music by deva is good. couple of numbers are hummable and melodious .
will they succeed in delivering another hit? before we tell you that, here' s what the film is about ...
balakrishna is the much respected head of a village in the palnadu region. he is forced to travel to another place to save his sister (sujitha) from the clutches of mukesh rishi, who has imprisoned her in his house because he wants to her to marry his brother .
balakrishna, in typical style, bashes them up and rescues her. sujitha' s friend, aarti agarwal, begins to like him so much that she waves goodbye to her fiancé, prithvi. balakrishna reciprocates and their families decide to get them married .
a furious prithvi joins hands with jayprakash reddy. they co - opt reddy' s daughter, sonali bendre, in their vendetta. just before the balakrishna - aarti marriage can take place, sonali shoots balakrishna. instead of getting angry, he leads her to the safety of his home .
but when he comes to know that sonali' s brothers had crippled his worker chalapati rao' s son jatin on the assumption that he had written her a love letter, he orders reddy to get sonali married to jatin. he promises he will not allow her to marry anyone else .
what happens next? does jatin get justice? do balakrishna and aarti reunite? what happens to sonali? these questions form the climax of b gopal' s palnati brahmanaidu .
balakrishna tries to use his performance to compensate for his poorly etched character. instead, he should keep his image and fans in mind and opt for better roles .
the film has some breathtaking action scenes. writers paruchuri brothers have penned punch - laden dialogues. the songs are well - picturised .
the blame lies at the door of director gopal. instead of sticking to a strong storyline like he had done earlier, he overconfidently tries to cash in on his previous hits with balakrishna .
what' s worse, both the director and the star have gone overboard comparing the conflict between balakrishna and sonali to the one between the late n t rama rao and bhanupriya in palnati yudham. but neither palnati brahmanaidu' s story nor the performances of its stars are a patch on ntr' s memorable film .

amitabh bachchan and kamal haasan are arguably one of the two biggest superstars of indian cinema. the legendary actors ruled the roost in their respective industries in the ‘80s and ‘90s. in fact, the duo has worked together in the film ‘geraftaar’ in 1985 .

world is getting miniaturized, becoming smaller, running faster and also getting abbreviated. abbreviations run in our blood. today’s movies have short names. viz, ddlj, k3g, rdb. just look at the abbreviations we use in our daily chat. lol, brb, btw, omg, wtf, rofl, jlt, ppl, tmr and so on. some write just ‘k’ for ‘ok’ and ‘s’ for ‘yes’. (i hate people writing kewl for cool. it has equal number of alphabets and sounds way too more complex than cool). but we hardly worry about the expansions of the abbreviations we use. i kind of hesitate or dislike using abbreviations until i know their expansions .
when i meandered on the streets of bengalooru i had seen many locations with the abbreviated or short names and hardly people knew their expansions. i did bit of research to find the expansions of the abbreviated locality names in the city. listing some of them below .
there are loads of other areas with abbreviated names but i haven’t yet figured out their expanded forms. they seem not too popular. listing some of them below. try if you can expand some of them .
hbcs layout, hbg layout, hkk lane, hgg layout, itc colony, rk layout, rr layout, oph road, otc road, khb colony, mr palya. ok. enough. the list doesn’t seem to stop. i’m tired of dealing with these names now. let me gthooh (get the hell out of here): - )
my god. . i never knew what actually these abbreviations meant. . tnx for this factual blog! !: )
sajid. . t in t block is tilaknagar. . that is correct. :) khb colony - karnataka housing board colony
wow! i was not were of btm, hsr layout... good sajjid
well... i guess i am lazy and crazy guy. i am harmless but bit unpredictable. i strongly endorse simplicity and excellence. i live for today. i am funny and boring at times, enjoy both people' s company and loneliness. in one word - an alien !

what is the meaning of your name? does it have a story behind it? why did your parents name you that? what do you like about it? do you share ...
originally known as chicacole, from the persian words chica (meaning “a small cloth bag which can be closed by pulling its neck strings”) and khol (meaning “open”). the name was derived from the fact that during the muslim rule, people are commanded to “chika khol”, which means to open their bag and pay the toll .
and the story i have heard is the name chicacole turned to srikakulam over time. (not sure if this is totally true) .
- mosquitoes are called domalu in telugu. since the area was notorious for its mosquito population, it' s name became
- contrary to what people say it' s not derived from the hindparts of a elephantidae family. the area again was dominated by people of telugu origin whose language got kannadicized. the name was
a few of the trivia in the back of my head are marathahalli: the area get its name from a fighter aircraft named marut which was designed and assembled in hal, which is very close to this area. there are though a few contradicting reports that a marut once crash landed in this area giving it its name. halli in kannada means village. nagarabhavi: the name literally means
a well of snakes
. the name is due to the high number of snakes present in the area before it got urbanized. also, some believe that it is called a
well
because of the surrounding hillocks that are no longer present due to urbanization. whitefield: until the late 1980s, whitefield was a small village which was a retirement colony for anglo - indians (read as' whites'). it remains a legacy of the british rule in india. the it boom in the city though has reshaped it as major suburb now. basavanagudi: the name
basavanagudi
refers to the bull temple that is located here. you can find a monolith statue of the nandi bull. basava in kannada, the local language, means bull and gudi means temple. hence, the name basavanagudi. malleshwaram: located in the north - west of bangalore, it derives its name from the famous kaadu malleshwara temple in this area. btm layout: btm is actually an abbreviation for byrasandra tavarekere madiwala. the area for the layout was carved out from these three neighborhoods and hence the name. hsr layout: hsr is an abbreviation for hosur sarjapur road layout. a relatively new suburb located in the south - east of bangalore, the layout, which is built on land reclaimed from the agara lake, is located between hosur road and sarjapur road. another interesting trivia though is about rajajinagar and jayanagar. rajajinagar was named after rajagopalachari, the freedom fighter and the last governor general of india. the interesting trivia is that both jayanagar and rajajinagar were inaugurated on the same day! jayachamarajendra wodeyar inaugurated rajajinagar and rajagopalachari inaugurated jayanagar !
this new site reveals so much more. enter a name and state to begin .
there existed a seaplane channel in the bellandur lake during the second world war. the seafaring catalina planes would land in the bellandur lake and then be towed to the nearby hal airport where they would be kept under warps in hangers .
btm layout: ever wondered what btm stands for? byrasandra, tavarekere and madivala, the layout got its name from the initials of these three places; thus btm layout. these three areas are still known seperately too. together they make up btm layout .
hsr layout: hosur sarjapura road layout. this areas lies between two major roads. the hosur road and the sarjapura road .
banashankari: this area is named after the temple of goddess banashankari that lies right in the centre of this area .
basavanagudi: basava + gudi. it means bull + temple. this area is named after the famous bull temple, a temple dedicated to hindu deity nandi (a. k. a the bull) .
sadashiva nagar: till the 60s and 70s, this area in bangalore served as the summer destination for the wodeyar kings of mysore and was known as ‘palace orchards’. later in the 90s, it was renamed as sadashivanagar in the honour of the great kannada freedom fighter and philanthropist karnad sadashiva rao .
nagarbhavi: popularly called the home to ‘bangalore university’, nagarbhavi is another popular suburb in the city. the word ‘naga’ in kannada means ‘snake’ and ‘bhavi’ means ‘well’, and thus the name ‘well of snakes’. the large number of snakes found in this region of bangalore got it the name. the locals also believe, the area got its name due to its well - like shape and form; small hillocks surrounding nagarbhavi make it look like a well .
jayanagar: jayanagar literally means
victory city
. one school of thought is that the name symbolizes the maharaja of mysore’s first name
jayachamaraja
. the foundation of jayanagar was laid in 1948. it was one of the first planned neighbourhoods in bangalore and at the time, the largest in asia .
ulsoor: this area is close to mg road in bengaluru. it is the place where first british military station was set up. there used to be a jackfruit orchard near the ulsoor lake, and the kannada name for jackfruit being ‘halasina hannu’, the area came to be known as halasuru. during the british rule, the name was anglicised to' ulsoor' .
majestic: this area acquired its name from a nearby popular cinema theatre by the same name. the majestic bus station, which is the major bus terminal is bengaluru is located on the site of the dharmambudhi lake, which dried up in the early 20th century .
malleswaram: this popular residential area in bengaluru derives its name from the famous kadu malleswara temple, which is located in the same area. it was developed as a planned suburb after the great plague of 1898. which caused many people to move out of the city center. malleswaram is now almost the city centre .
yelahanka: the city of yelahanka had been in existence prior to 12th century. the region was called' ilaipakka naadu' during the rule of cholas. later, during hoysala rein, the city came to be known as' elavanka' and gradually shifted to' yelahanka'
vidyaranyapura: vidyaranyapura is a colony that was formed in the late 1970s. it was formerly owned by a rich landlord, who still owns a large mango garden called dinshaw estate. legends suggest that it may have been a battlefield. the township is named after the great kannada poet, saint and priest, vidyaranya .
kodigehalli: kodigehalli is so called because it was a gift from the king to a resident of that area, who fed him. in kannada, kodige means gift .
this government guest house is situated on palace road, near manikyavelu mansion, which houses the national gallery of modern arts. the latter bears the name of manikyavelu mudaliar, who bought it from the mysore royal family. as to the origin of the former’s name, two competing theories exist. one, that it was given the name by ali asker, and that the name is a corruption of the farsi “bala beravi”, or “may you rise higher”. a more likely explanation, however, is that the name is a tribute to mark cubbon’s origins in the isle of man, where even today a few roads by the same name exist. in manx gaelic, the word means “farm on the river bank” .
seshadri iyer, who served as diwan of mysore in the late 1880s and early 1900s, was part of a number of interrelated developments, all of which shaped the city we now know as bangalore. he promoted the shivanasamudra hydroelectric project, which brought general electric to the region. the kolar gold fields began to be powered in 1902, and in 1905, bangalore, by virtue of proximity, became the first city in india to receive electric supply. iyer also convinced krishnaraja wodeyar iv to donate land to establish a scientific institute in the city – the offer of land and an electric supply gave bangalore the edge over bombay, because of which jamsetji tata chose the city to set up the iisc in 1909. during his time, iyer also had to combat an outbreak of the bubonic plague epidemic in 1898. as part of measures to prevent the spread of the disease, he established the localities of basavanagudi and malleswaram. this process was less than equitable, and saw protests by members of the upper classes and castes when attempts were made to include the poor and lower castes .
ph benson was a british surgeon who also served as superintendent of the central jail. gh cooke was a collector and president of the municipal commission during the 1920s. d’costa layout, within cooke town, is named after the gentleman who laid it out, a carlos d’costa, who was known to be a skilled town planner .
the question of renaming of maciver town as shantala nagar was moot; neither are used today to refer to the locality that contains the city’s best known (and most expensive) neighbourhoods, including mg road, lavelle road and vittal mallya road. the former name honoured lj maciver, collector and president of the municipal commission of the civil and military station between 1934 and 1937. maciver also served as president of the bangalore club in 1935 - 36 .
the area, the circle and the road are all named after a gentleman named richmond (we couldn’t trace his first name), a barrister for the british government who was based in madras. the area was officially renamed mirza ismail nagar, after the diwan of mysore from 1926 to 1941, who was also ali asker’s grandson. ismail was a man ahead of his time. in 1946, thanks to his efforts, his plan for the retrocession of land in the city which had been occupied by the british was approved. however, after independence, the land fell under the authority of the newly formed mysore state, which then merged with the union of india .
one of india’s earliest test pilots, suranjan das was part of the team that tested the first aircraft designed by the hal, the ht - 2, which was launched in 1951. (it was a training plane intended for the air force, and was used for almost 40 years. it was also the first aircraft to be exported .) das also travelled around the world testing aircraft and advising the indian government on which models to purchase. he was killed in 1970, during a test flight, following which the road connecting the main complex of hal (now on old airport road) to its engine division (on old madras road) was renamed in his honour. das’s wife, veronica loveless, died on december 28 last year .
in 1803, the british east india company defeated the maratha confederacy in the battle of assaye, now in maharashtra. in the battle, the british were assisted by indian infantry regiments, of which one survives today – the madras engineers group (it has gone through several changes in name over the centuries). the regiment was awarded an honour for the achievement, but after independence, the assaye honour, along with a few others, was declared “repugnant” by the indian government, since it celebrated the victory of a colonial power over an indian resistance. thus the assaye honour can no longer be displayed on flags and uniforms, nor can the victory be celebrated. the memory of the battle, however, lives on in a winding strip of road adjoining wheeler road (which probably got its name from general john wheeler cleveland, an officer of the british army, after whom cleveland town is also named) near the meg base .
the fact that an anglo - indian settlement founded in 1882 would be called whitefield might reek of political incorrectness today. but in fact the name was not a territorial assertion at all – the settlement was founded by an anglo - indian gentleman named des white, president of the anglo - indian association of madras, who had somewhat utopian visions for its future as a farming village without divided property ownership. whatever the merits of the idea, he must have pitched it well, since krishnaraja wodeyar iv granted him close to 4, 000 acres of land to realise it .
one of seshadri iyer’s projects as diwan of mysore was to provide the region with a steady supply of water (until 1894, people relied on local tanks and lakes). he conceived of a project he called the chamarajendra water works, intended to draw water to the city from the hessaraghatta lake, situated on the arkavathi river. the project, which continued to supply water to the city for almost three decades, was executed by the then chief engineer of mysore, mc hutchins .
before it became a covered market, the area on which russell market now stands was a dry lake bed, which was often used for an open air market. the market is now named after tb russell, an officer of the indian civil services, who proposed the project. it was designed by wh murphy (after whom murphy town is named) and opened in 1927, in a ceremony which cost r269. 80 to put together .
– this knotty junction, as well as the hudson memorial church nearby, built in 1904, are named after the missionary joshua hudson .
– kt bhashyam, who has two circles in the city named after him, was a businessman who was involved in attempts to organise mill workers in the 1920s .
– mudaliar was a small - time vegetable trader from tamil nadu whose businesses grew rapidly. he later became a key figure in the construction of the attara kacheri .
– mekhri was a civic - minded businessman who levelled the road from hebbal to the city. he was also a freedom fighter who spent time in jail with the likes of c rajagopalachari .
the establishment of the cantonment in the city would result in vast sections of the city acquiring english names. many of these have been officially changed back to local names over the years, but to little avail – most of the old british names in the city have remained in use .
names with the word “chamaraj” or “krishnaraj” in it are a tribute to the wodeyar kings. although the dynasty (and the names) existed many centuries earlier, names like chamarajpet, krishnarajapuram and jayachamarajendra road are in honour of the last kings of the dynasty, who ruled between 1799 and 1950 .
the chieftain of yelahanka now lends his name to a road, a locality and a bus terminus. the origin of the names of all the pete areas (balepet, nagarthpet, chikpet) date to this era, and refer to the fort that kempegowda built .
names that end with “sandra” and “mangala” probably belong to this period. “sandra” could refer to the “samudras” or water tanks of the chola period. “mangala” is probably derived from the “chaturvedi mangalams”, the name for an administrative unit during this period .

i am sure many of you have wondered at least once why city' s main bus stand is called as
majestic
by everyone though it is not the official name .
the bus station was initially called
majestic bus station
or
majestic
because of a popular cinema theatre of the same name nearby. it was later changed to
malleshwara (called malleshwaram in english - i honestly don' t know why the extra' m' in the end) got its name, because of
kaadu malleshwara
temple, which is believed to be the oldest temple in bangalore .
basavanagudi has a similar story. the area got its name because of the bull temple there .
infact, many areas / localities in bangalore are named to honor some of the major contributors to india .
halli is kannada word for village you may see a lot of places ending with halli in bangalore and karnataka (bommanahalli, marathahalli, hoskerahalli etc) hosa means new in kannada and you can get to see places with that (hosa road, hosangadi etc) kere means lake in kannada so places which have some lake around tend to get kere with name (tavarakere, arekere, arsikere) also one can see kempegowda being used in front of majestic bus stand' s name and airport' s names, for a moment many. think that it will be some politician of region but he was the great warrior in mysore kings armada who established bangalore. some interesting place facts are few abbreviated places of bangalore, such as jp nagar btm and hsr layouts! ! actually btm stands. f or byrasandra tavarekere and madivala layout where as hsr means hosur sarjapur road layout and jp nagar is respect to jayaprakash narayanan the loknayak! !
vyhaali is the kannada word for a horse. kaaval means to guard. during the time when bangalore was ruled by kings, there were a lot of stables in this area near malleshwaram. as stables are the places where horses are guarded, this place came to be known as vyhaali - kaaval. the name later got modified to vyalikaval .
madiwala in kannada means a washerman. years when bangalore ended in jayanagar, this area was full of washermen and hence the area got the same name. btm layout actually stands for bommanahalli madiwala tavarekere, the three villages at the outskirts of bangalore at one point in time. b does not stand for byrasandra or bannerghatta .
the area around thimmaiah road, between queen' s road and kamaraj road, is called black pally. the shivaji nagar bus stand and surrounding areas was a big lake over 150 years ago. this used to attract a lot of water birds, which, usually, are white. the town bordering the lake, therefore, was named after these birds. it was called bili hakki halli, which when transliterated is white birds village (surely no pun intended). bili hakki halli was clearly not going to roll on a british tongue. therefore it was
improvised
( corrupted ?) to black pally. the name, though, is no longer used. it only exists on a government school board in that place, as far as i can remember .
jayanagar 4th
t
block. has anyone ever wondered why this additional t for the area? before renaming the area as jayanagar to make it sound urban, its name was
thayappanahalli
. hence to respect the locals and honor the original name the area was renamed to
jayanagar 4th - t block
.
dodda (big) isn' t a telugu word. the word for big in telugu is pedda. also, just because the word kundi also means an ass in kannada (which might seem distasteful to some, lol) it doesn' t mean it won' t have other meanings. etymologically speaking, kundi / gundi are both words which mean a ditch. so doddanekundi literally means a big ditch where one trapped elephants. pedda nakka vacchindi seems far fetched .
as for domlur, the word
dommalu
means noise / commotion / crowd in kannada. according to the kannada sahitya parishat dictionary. it could be the mosquito one too. but that seems like a forced attempt to establish a cosmopolitan nature to a locality which only recently got engulfed into the larger city of bangalore .
hegganahalli: this name came up just because there were more hegganas (voles) in here. when i was small, i was afraid going outside in evening and night just because of them. there were atleast 7 to 8 of them next to my home itself .
sunkadakatte: my grandpa used to say that this was like a tollgate which was next to lake and in kannada sunka means tax and katte means lake .
few people know that btm layout actually an abbreviation of byrasandra, tavarekere and madiwala layout .
chik - pete: the small street. chikka means small. dodda - pete: the big street. dodda means big / large .
you might' ve heard of
malgudi days
. the
mal
of malgudi days was taken from malleshwaram and the
gudi
was taken from basavanagudi. : )
he led one of the most important administrations in india' s modern history, overseeing a major economic transformation and several incidents affecting national security .
launched india' s free market reforms that brought the nearly bankrupt nation back from the edge .
of modern india for his ability to steer tough economic and political legislation through the parliament at a time when he headed a minority government .
rao' s term as prime minister proved an eventful one in india' s history. besides marking a paradigm shift from the socialist based nehruvian style of economy to a market driven one, his years as prime minister also saw the emergence of the bjp, a major right wing party, as an alternative to rao' s congress, which had been governing india for most of its post - independence history. rao' s term also oversaw the destruction of the babri mosque in ayodhya which triggered one of the worst hindu muslim riots in the country since its independence .
political isolation, due to his association with corruption charges, marked rao' s later life. before his death in 2004, rao had been acquitted on all charges. he died after a heart attack in new delhi, his remains cremated in hyderabad. [ 7 ]
p. v. ranga rao, rao' s father, belonged to a wealthy telugu brahmin family from a village called vangara (pedda) in the karimnagar district of andhra pradesh, india. [ 8 ]
rao studied at the osmania university and at the universities of mumbai and nagpur where he obtained bachelor' s and master' s degrees in law. [ 9 ] a polyglot, he could speak 13 languages including urdu, marathi, kannada, hindi, telugu and english with a fluency akin to a native speaker. [ 10 ] his mother tongue had been telugu. as well as seven indian languages, he spoke english, french, arabic, spanish and persian. [ 11 ] along with his cousin pamulaparthi sadasiva rao, rao edited a telugu weekly magazine called kakatiya patrika from 1948 to 1955 .
a freedom fighter, rao had been active during the indian independence movement and joined full time politics after independence as a member of the indian national congress. rao served brief stints in the cabinet (1962 - 1971) and as chief minister of the state of andhra pradesh (1971 - 1973) .
when the indian national congress split in 1969, rao remained loyal to prime minister indira gandhi and stayed so during the emergency period (1975 - 1977). he rose to national prominence in 1972 by handling several diverse portfolios, most significantly home, defence and foreign affairs (1980 - 1984), in the cabinets of both indira gandhi and rajiv gandhi. speculation ran high that he had been considered for the post of india' s president along with zail singh in 1982. [ 12 ]
rao came close to retiring from politics in 1991, the assassination of the congress president rajiv gandhi prompting him to make a comeback. [ 13 ] as the congress had received the largest number of seats in the 1991 elections, he had the opportunity to head the minority government as prime minister. he had been the first person outside the nehru - gandhi family to serve as prime minister for five continuous years, the first to hail from south india and so the first from the state of andhra pradesh. [ 14 ] since rao ran uncontested the general elections, he now participated in a bye - election to join the parliament. he won election from nandyal with a victory margin of a record 5 lakh votes, the guinness book of world records recording his win. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] his cabinet included sharad pawar, himself a strong contender for the pm' s job, as defence minister. he also broke convention by appointing an economist, manmohan singh as his finance minister. (earlier only politicians had occupied that post. )
most indians consider rao' s major achievement the liberalization of the indian economy, launching of india' s emergence as a great power. his reforms had been adopted to avert impending international default in 1991. [ 17 ] the reforms progressed furthest in the areas of opening up to foreign investment, reforming capital markets, deregulating domestic business, and reforming the trade regime. rao set the goals to reduce the fiscal deficit, privatize the public sector, and increase investment in infrastructure. he led trade reform and changes in the regulation of foreign direct investment to open india to foreign trade while stabilizing external loans. rao' s finance minister, manmohan singh, a trained economist, played a central role in implementing those reforms .
major reforms in india' s capital markets led to an influx of foreign portfolio investment. the major economic policies adopted by rao include :
abolishing in 1992 the controller of capital issues which decided the prices and number of shares that firms could issue. [ 18 ] [ 19 ]
introducing the sebi act of 1992 and the security laws (amendment) which gave sebi the legal authority to register and regulate all security market intermediaries. [ 20 ]
opening in 1992 of india' s equity markets to investment by foreign institutional investors and permitting indian firms to raise capital on international markets by issuing global depository receipts (gdrs). [ 21 ]
starting in 1994 of the national stock exchange as a computer - based trading system which served as an instrument to leverage reform of india' s other stock exchanges. the nse emerged as india' s largest exchange by 1996. [ 22 ]
reducing tariffs from an average of 85 percent to 25 percent, and rolling back quantitative controls. (the rupee became convertible on trade account .) [ 23 ]
encouraging foreign direct investment by increasing the maximum shares of foreign capital in joint ventures from 40 to 51 percent with 100 percent foreign equity permitted in priority sectors. [ 24 ]
streamlining procedures for fdi approvals, and in at least thirty five industries, automatically approving projects within the limits for foreign participation. [ 25 ]
the impact of those reforms led to the total foreign investment (including foreign direct investment, portfolio investment, and investment raised on international capital markets) in india growing from a minuscule us $ 132 million in 1991 - 92 to $ 5. 3 billion in 1995 - 96. [ 26 ]
rao began industrial policy reforms with the manufacturing sector. he slashed industrial licensing, leaving only eighteen industries subject to licensing. industrial regulation rationalized. [ 27 ]
rao energized the national nuclear security and ballistic missiles program, which ultimately resulted in the 1998 pokhran nuclear tests. some have speculated that the tests had been planned in 1995, during rao' s term in office. [ 28 ] he increased military spending, and set the indian army on course to fight the emerging threat of terrorism and insurgencies, as well as pakistan and china' s nuclear potentials. during his term, terrorism in the indian state of punjab finally ended. [ 29 ] scenarios of plane hijackings, which occurred during rao' s time ended without the government conceding the terrorists' demands. [ 30 ] he directed negotiations to secure the release of doraiswamy, an indian oil executive, from kashmiri terrorists who kidnapped him, [ 31 ] and liviu radu, a romanian diplomat posted in new delhi in october 1991, kidnapped by sikh terrorists. [ 32 ] rao also handled the indian response to the occupation of the hazratbal holy shrine in jammu and kashmir by pakistan - sponsored terrorists in october 1993. [ 33 ] he brought the occupation to an end without damage to the shrine. similarly, he dealt with the kidnapping of some foreign tourists by a terrorist group called al faran in kashmir in 1995 effectively. although he failed to secure the release of the hostages, his policies ensured that the terrorists demands went unmet, and that the international community, even pakistan, condemned the action.
