Muslim League (Opposition)

The Muslim League (Opposition), later re-named as the All India Muslim League, was a political party in Kerala, India. It was a splinter-group of the Indian Union Muslim League. The party was founded by Ummer Bafakky Thangal. It was an ally of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and part of the Left Democratic Front.

Split in the IUML

A rift had emerged in the Muslim League in Kerala in 1976, between followers of C.H. Mohammed Koya and the faction of Ummer Bafakky Thangal. Six Members of the Legislative Assembly sided with Thangal and boycotted the Assembly. They were expelled from the party, and then the ML(O) was set up. The new party was nick-named the 'Opposition League'. In the wake of the split leaders of ML(O) were summarily arrested and detained.

1977 election

The party contested the 1977 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. ML(O) fielded 16 candidates, generally in constituencies where they faced Muslim League candidates. In total the candidates of the party got 390,139 votes (4.45% of the votes in the state). Three of its candidates were elected; P.P.V. Moosa from Edakkad, P.M. Aboobaker from Calicut-II and K.P. Raman from Kunnamangalam.

Muslim League (Qayyum) was a party created by Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan when he split with the Council Muslim League to run for the 1970 Pakistani general elections.

India (East Syrian ecclesiastical province)

India (Syriac: Beth Hindaye) was an ecclesiastical province of the Church of the East, from the seventh to the sixteenth century. The Malabar Coast of India had long been home to a thriving East Syrian (Nestorian) Christian community, known as the St. Thomas Christians. The community traces its origins to the evangelical activity of Thomas the Apostle in the 1st century. The Indian Christian community were initially part of the metropolitan province of Fars, but were detached from that province in the 7th century, and again in the 8th, and given their own metropolitan bishop.

Due to the distance between India and the seat of the Patriarch of the Church of the East, communication with the church's heartland was often spotty, and the province was frequently without a bishop. As such, the Indian church was largely autonomous in operation, though the authority of the Patriarch was always respected. In the 16th century, the Portuguese arrived in India and tried to bring the community under the authority of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. The Portuguese ascendancy was formalised at the Synod of Diamper in 1599, which effectively abolished the historic Nestorian metropolitan province of India. Angamaly, the former seat of the Nestorian metropolitans, was downgraded to a suffragan diocese of the Latin Archdiocese of Goa.

India (Vega album)

India is the first studio album by Spanish singer Vega, released on November 7, 2003 on Vale Music Spain.

History

This album represents her success after having sold more than 200.000 copies of her first single "Quiero Ser Tú" (Spanish for "I Want to Be You"), which was a task to be accomplished before being entitled to a recording contract. The album itself sold more than 110.000 copies in Spain alone.

The country, India, has always been an inspiration to Vega, and that is why she decided to name her album after it. All but two songs on the album, "That's Life" (Frank Sinatra cover) and "Believe" (K's Choice cover), were written by Vega. The eighth track, "Olor A Azahar", is dedicated to the city she was born in.

The first single from India was "Grita!", which became the best-selling single of 2003 in Spain. After the success of the first single, "La Verdad (ft. Elena Gadel)" and "Directo Al Sol" followed. Elena Gadel, a member of the girl-group Lunae, whom Vega had met during the time they were part of Operación Triunfo, also helped with the background vocals for "Grita!".
