Kanshi Ram\n\nKanshi Ram (March 15, 1934 – October 9, 2006) was an Indian politician of Dalit Sikh background. He founded the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), a political party with the stated goal of serving the traditionally lower castes of Indian society, including Sudras and Dalits (Untouchables). He shared the BSP's leadership with Mayawati. Their leadership brought the party to power in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh in 1995, at which point Mayawati became the state's chief minister.\n\nEarly Life and Politics\nKanshi Ram was born to Bishan Kaur and Hari Singh at Khawapur village in Ropar district of Punjab. After completing his Bachelor's degree in Science (B.Sc) from the Government College at Ropar affiliated to The Punjab University he joined the offices of Survey of India through a reserved quota for Scheduled Caste. Kanshi Ram was born in cobbler caste which is included in the GOI SC list.\n\nDuring his tenure in the Survey Department in 1965 he joined the agitation started by Scheduled Caste Employees of Government of India to prevent the abolition of a holiday commemorating Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's birthday.\n\nIn 1970 he formed the All India Backward and Minority Employees Federation. He started his attempt of unifying the Dalit vote bank in 1981 and by 1984 he founded the Bahujan Samaj Party.\n\nHe represented the 11th Lok Sabha from Hoshiarpur Constituency and in 2001 he publicly announced Kumari Mayawati as his successor.\n\n\n[edit] Last Days\nIn about 2004, Kanshi Ram began attempting recovery from health problems and did not appear publicly after that. He convalesced at the home of Mayawati, and members of his family claimed that she was essentially holding him captive in order to control the BSP. On April 8, 2005, the Supreme Court of India ordered a team of doctors to examine his physical and mental condition.[1]\n\nOn October 9, 2006, he died of a severe heart attack in New Delhi. Ram, who suffered from multiple ailments such as stroke, diabetes and hypertension, was virtually bed-ridden for more than two years.\n\n\n[edit] Author\nAs an author Kanshiram wrote two books\n\n"Birth of BAMCEF" \n"An Era of the Stooges" (Chamcha Age) \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanshi_Ram

I didn't meet him exactly...more like bumped into him at a Bollywood party. He was standing behind me with his wife and Karan Johar.\nHe's really short. I was surprised by that. But he kept to himself and his friends and was not at all arrogant or loud.

gee, that's a tough one, I'm pretty sure that i remember Abheishek just the other day telling me about him and Rani getting into a big argument and he said he forgave her for all she said to him. but then he also mentioned that he was still going to marry her and he said that he was also marrying Aishwariya as well, on the same day, under the same alter. so i;m really sorry if that doesn't answer your question but I'm afraid that's the best i can do for you.\n\nhope this helps you a little.

I'm an old timer who got interested in Sri Lank forty years ago. I was fascinated by the Kandy Empire, the legend of Adam's peak, the singing shellfish at Lake Batticaloa, the construction of the ancient tanks among many other things. I read a book that I still find interesting called "Jungle Tide". I forget the author's name but he must have written it during the British occupation as he was English. I am sure there are many other fascinating archaeological and educational opportunities in your country, which, I regret, I never did visit. Still, after 40 years, my interest has been retained by what I read. My very best wishes with your project.

This guy (SAHAN/NISALA/NIMAL/CHATURA) asks questions UNDER 1 identity and answers in another (ABCDEFGH/HASITHA), thereafter choosing his own answer, as the best answer. \n\nAll for the 10 points. \nThat's his 6 identities so far, I bet there's more.
