Jhansi (pronunciation) is a historic city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It lies in the region of Bundelkhand on the banks of the Pahuj River, in the extreme south of Uttar Pradesh. Jhansi is the administrative headquarters of Jhansi district and Jhansi division. Also called the Gateway to Bundelkhand, Jhansi is situated between the rivers Pahuj and Betwa at an average elevation of 285 metres (935 feet). It is about 415 kilometres (258 mi) from New Delhi and 99 kilometres (62 mi) south of Gwalior.

The original walled city grew around its stone fort which crowns a neighboring rock. The ancient name of the city was Balwantnagar.^{[citation needed]} From 1817 to 1854, Jhansi was the capital of the princely state of Jhansi which was ruled by Gurjar rajas. The state was annexed by the British Governor General in 1854; Damodar Rao's claim to the throne was rejected but Rani Lakshmibai ruled it from June 1857 to June 1858.

Jhansi is well connected to all other major towns in Uttar Pradesh by road and railway networks. The National Highways Development Project has supported development of Jhansi.Jhansi is also being developed as the defence corridor by the NDA government which will boost the economy of the city and the region at the same time. Srinagar to Kanyakumari North-South corridor passes through Jhansi as does the East-West corridor; consequently there has been a sudden rush of infrastructure and real estate development in the city.Jhansi was adjudged the third cleanest city of Uttar Pradesh and the fastest moving city in the North Zone in Swachh Survekshan 2018 rankings. A greenfield airport development has been planned.^[3] On 28 August 2015, Jhansi was selected among 98 cities for smart city initiative by Government of India.^[4][5][6]

The city has a natural slope in the north as it is on the south western border of the vast Tarai plains of Uttar Pradesh and the elevation rises on the south. The land is suitable for species of citrus fruit and crops include wheat, pulses, peas, and oilseeds. The region relies heavily on Monsoon the rains for irrigation purposes. Under an ambitious canal project (the Rajghat canal), the government is constructing a network of canals for irrigation in Jhansi and Lalitpur and some part of Madhya Pradesh.

Monsoon rains gradually weaken in September and the season ends by the last week of September. In the rainy season, the average daily high temperature hovers around 36 degrees Celsius with high humidity. The average rainfall for the city is about 900 mm per year, occurring almost entirely within the three-and-a-half months of the Southwest Monsoon. In summer Jhansi experiences temperatures as high as 45-47 degrees and in winter the temperatures fall as low as 0-1 degrees (recorded in winter 2011).

Jhansi has its own division in the North Central Railway zone of Indian Railways. It lies on the main Delhi-Chennai and Delhi-Mumbai lines. The station code is JHS.

History[edit]

The railway station was built by the British in the late 1880s. After a long survey of three places the current site was selected for the station. The station has a massive fort-like building painted in maroon and off white.

The station had three platforms in the beginning. Platform One is 2,525 feet (770 m) long making it the seventh longest in the world so could easily handle two trains at a time. Platforms two and three are also long enoungh to do this. The first Shatabdi Express of India started between New Delhi and Jhansi. Earlier Jhansi used to be a part of Central railways zone headquartered at Mumbai but now comes under NCR headquartered at Allahabad.

Connectivity[edit]

Jhansi Junction is linked with many industrial and important cities of India by direct trains like Gwalior, New Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Lucknow, Bhopal, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Jammu and Kashmir, Agra, Bhubaneshwar, and Ahmedabad.

Jhansi Junction is served by four broad gauge routes:

• Jhansi - Agra - New Delhi
• Jhansi - Kanpur Central - Lucknow
• Jhansi - Bhopal - Mumbai
• Jhansi - Manikpur - Allahabad
• Jhansi - Shivpuri - Sawai Madhopur (proposed)

Jhansi Airport is a military aviation base built in the British era used by the Indian army and political visitors. Though there are provisions for private aircraft to land, there are no civil aviation operations. There had been a demand to make it operational for commercial purposes in the 1990s and again in the 2000s. The Uttar Pradesh government announced the construction of an all new civil aviation base to support tourism in Bundelkhand in April 2011.^[22] The Indian army maintains an objection to extension of the military aviation. So, the government has examined three different places other than army aviation base for the airport in Jhansi. Gwalior Airport is the nearest airport from Jhansi but has limited number of flights and facilities. Kanpur Airport is 4 hours drive from Jhansi and is well connected with other metropolitan cities in India.There are plans to develop the Jhansi airport under the UDAN scheme of regional connectivity of central government.Jhansi-Lucknow-Jhansi route was selected in UDAN 2 but the airline has not been selected yet.Jhansi-Agra and Jhansi-Khajuraho routes have been suggested by the government for UDAN 3.There are still no plans to connect Jhansi with Delhi, the national capital and other cities like Mumbai in the south.

Jhansi in popular culture[edit]

Jhansi in literature[edit]

Two novels by John Masters are set in the fictional town of Bhowani. According to the author, writing in the glossary to the earlier novel, Nightrunners of Bengal, Bhowani is an 'imaginary town. To get a geographical bearing on the story it should be imagined to be about where Jhansi really is - 25.27 N., 78.33 E.'^[25]Nightrunners of Bengal is set during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 at 'Bhowani' (the title alludes to the mysterious distribution of 'chapatis' to village headmen which preceded the revolt). Bhowani Junction is set in 1946/47 the eve of independence. In each novel the main character is a British army officer named Colonel Rodney Savage, one of a succession of such men from the same family.

Christina Rossetti wrote a short poem about the fate of the Skene family at Jhansi during the Indian Mutiny. It is entitled 'In the Round Tower at Jhansi - 8 June 1857'. It was published in 1862 in the same volume as her more celebrated poem 'Goblin Market'. Some time afterward, Rossetti discovered that she had been misinformed about the husband and wife's suicide pact in the face of a murderous and implacable enemy ('The swarming howling wretches below' the tower walls) which is the poem's subject, but did not delete it from later editions.

Jhansi also appears as the backdrop for a portion of the George MacDonald Fraser novel Flashman in the Great Game, set just before and during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Jhansi in films[edit]

Movies which are filmed in or associated with Jhansi include: Jhansi Ki Rani (1953 film), Love Marriage (1959 film), Raavan (2010 film), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017 film), and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019 film).^{[citation needed]}

Early life[edit]

He is the son of singer and actor Kishore Kumar and Bengali singer and actress Ruma Guha Thakurta.^[3] Like his father, Amit started singing from an early age and he used to sing at Durga Pooja festivals in Calcutta. At one such function arranged by a Bengali actor named Uttam Kumar, the audience continued requesting encores. While his mother complained that he was singing 'filmy' songs, his father decided to bring him to Bombay.

Kishore Kumar had cast Amit as his son in two films that he produced. In the first, Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein^[4] he sang Aa Chalke Tujhe, Mein Leke Chaloon to his eleven-year-old son. For the second film, Door Ka Raahi, a teenage Amit Kumar sang 'Main Ik Panchi Matwaala Re', but it was removed from the final cut of the film.

Career[edit]

1970s[edit]

Amit Kumar sang professionally for the first time, outside his father's composition, at the age of 21 in 1973. The song was 'Hosh Mein Hum Kahan', composed by Sapan Jagmohan for the film Darwaza, which was released in 1978.

His duets with his father, such as 'Haseeno Ke Chakkar Mein' from Deewangee in 1976, 'Nazar Lage Na Saathiyo' from Des Pardes in 1978 and 'Sun Chache Bol' from Badthi Ka Naam Dadhi in 1974 became popular.^{[according to whom?]} In the 1976 film Balika Badhu, he sang 'Bade Achchhe Lagte Hain' by the composer R.D. Burman, by which he attained national fame.^[5] This song was named the 26th most-popular film song of 1977 by the radio show Binaca Geetmala.^{[citation needed]} Kumar recorded 170 Hindi songs under R.D. Burman.^[6]

In 1978, he sang 'Aati Rahengi Baharein' in Kasme Vaade, for Randhir Kapoor's character. He also did playback singing for Randhir Kapoor in Chor Ke Ghar Chor (1978) and Dhongee.

He sang in various films, including Aandhi, Aap Ke Deewane, Khatta Meetha, Gol Maal, Des Pardes, Ganga Ki Saugandh, Deewanagi (1976), Duniya Meri Jeb Mein, Parvarish, Humare Tumhare (1979) and Baton Baton Mein. The duets he sang with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle became famous in this period.^{[according to whom?]}

1980s[edit]

Amit Kumar's duet 'Ka Janu Main Sajaniya' with Lata Mangeshkar and 'Ram Kare Allah Kare' and 'Humto Aap Ke Deewane Hai' with Rafi became famous.^{[according to whom?]} Then Amit sang all the songs for the 1981 film Love Story and won a Filmfare Award for the duet 'Yaad Aa Rahi Hai' with Mangeshkar. Composer R.D. Burman jokingly told Amit before its release that this song sounds like a bhajan (a song with a religious theme).^{[citation needed]}

After the success of Love Story, Rajesh Khanna employed Kumar for playback singing in Fiffty Fiffty (1981) and then later in Aakhir Kyon? (1985), Ghar Ka Chirag, Jai Shiv Shankar, Swarg (1990) and Sautela Bhai (1996).

In 1980, Kumar sang 'Laila o Laila' for Qurbani. This song was named the sixth most-popular film song of 1980 by Binaca Geetmala.^{[citation needed]} Kumar's singing in 'Aao Naye Sapne Bune', composed by Basudev for Main Qatil Hun (1984) became famous, though the film was unsuccessful.^{[according to whom?]} The Asha–Kumar duet 'Yun Toh Haseen Hazar' from Shradhanjali in 1981 became a hit.^[7]He had several 'chart-busters' in 1982 and 1983,^{[citation needed]} and 'hits' with the duets 'Tu Rootha Toh Main Ro Doongi Sanam', 'Gali Gali Dhoonda Tujhe' and solo songs 'Halla Gulla Maza Hai' and 'Mana Abhi Tu Kamsin' from the film Jawani (1984).^{[citation needed]} In 1985, the duet 'Dushman Na Kare' from Akhir Kyun was popular.^{[citation needed]} In 1986, the song 'Mary Tu Hoja Meri' from Anokha Rishta and the duet 'Roz Roz Ankhon' from Jeeva were popular.^[8] He had solo and duet songs in hit films such as Hum Paanch, Bulundi, Itni Si Baat, Hamari Bahu Alka, Anokha Bandhan, Ustaadi Ustad Se, Bheegi Palkein, Khatron Ke Khiladi, Maalamaal, Ilzaam, Anokha Rishta, Rama O Rama, Jaaydaad, Tridev, ChaalBaaz, Aag Se Khelenge, and Dost. His songs were popular regardless of whether the film was a box office success.^{[citation needed]}

Kumar sang for almost all music directors and actors in the 1980s, and was the second-most preferred male playback singer in Hindi films, after his father Kishore Kumar. Among music directors, Amit Kumar was used more by Pancham from 1975 to 1994 and by Bappi Lahiri from 1983 to 1995. He became the voice of Kumar Gaurav in the 1980s and their combination gave many hit songs from films such as Romance (1983), Teri Kasam, Lovers (1983), All-rounder and Telefilm-Janam. He was also the voice for newcomer Karan Shah in films such as Jawani, Anokha Rishta, Apne Apne and Chor Pe Mor and though the songs were popular, only Anokha Rishta and Chor Pe Mor were successful films. In the late 1980s, Kumar sang songs for Anil Kapoor in films including Tezaab, Yudh and Aag Se Khelenge and continued to sing for him in the 1990s. The duets with Asha – 'Pehle Pehle Pyar Ki' and 'Yeh Tujhe Kya Hua' both from Ilzaam in 1986 and 'Tere Naina Mere Naina' from Aag Se Khelenge and 'Chotasa Parivaar Hamara' from Dost in 1989 became famous in their respective years. The Anuradha Pudwal-Amit Kumar duet 'Kehdo Ke Tum Meri' and solo song 'Ek Do Teen' from Tezaab were part of Binaca Geet Mala's annual list in 1988. The song 'Oye Oye- Tirchi Topi Waaley' from Tridev was a nationwide hit. Kumar did playback for Naseeruddin Shah in the film Hero Hiralal, which was famous as well.^{[according to whom?]} His duet 'Yeh Kismat Hai Kya Kisne Dekha Yahan' with Alka Yagnik from Ghar Ka Chirag became popular in 1989. Soon after his father's death, Kumar and his half-brother Sumit Kumar released the album Dui Kishore as a tribute to Kishore Kumar.^{[citation needed]}

Early 1990s to 2000[edit]
