\nprotruding tongue, wearing a garland of

\nKalidasa<\/b> an outstanding Sanskrit poet and
\ndramatist, probably the greatest Indian
\nwriter of any epoch. Many works are
\nattributed to him; but only six are considered as certainly genuine, three dramas
\n(Abhijnana Sakuntalam, Vikramorvasiyam
\n<\/i>and Malavikdgnimitram)<\/i> and three epics
\n(Raghuvamsam, Kumdra-sambhavam<\/i> and
\nMeghadutam).<\/i> One more, Rtusamhdram, <\/i> is
\nconsidered by most, Sri Aurobindo included, as Kalidasa’s. The date of Kalidasa is
\nuncertain. A persistent legend makes him
\none of "the nine gems" (Navaratna) that<\/font><\/p>\n

\t\t\tadorned the court of King Vikramaditya at
\nUjjayini. It is, however, a certainty that the poet lived sometime between the reign of Agnimitra, the second Sunga
\nking <\/font><\/p>\n

\nwith Pandu, from her ear (karna<\/i> in Sanskrit)
\nwith an outfit of armour and ear-rings which, as ordained by Surya, made him invincible.
\nAfraid of censure and disgrace Kunti
\nabandoned the child on the banks of the
\nYamuna. The charioteer of Dhritarashtra
\nfound him and brought him up as his own
\nson. Kama grew into a skilful archer and
\nconsequently a keen rival of Arjuna. In the
\nwar he sided with Duryodhana, his friend
\nand benefactor. A liberal alms-giver, Kama
\ncould not refuse the gift of his life-saving armour and ear-rings to Indra, who purpose- ly deceived him in the garb of a Brahmin
\nseeking alms. Kama had meant to use the
\nSakti, an unerring missile that Indra had
\ngranted him, against his arch-enemy Arjuna, but was forced to use it instead to kill Ghatotkacha, a son of Bhima by the demon-
\ness Hidimba. (Dow.; Pur. Enc.) Var:<\/font><\/p>\n

\nKhilafat Agitation<\/b> a movement started by

\nAli and Muhammad Ali. They joined the

\nstarted the non-cooperation movement under
\nthe leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. Thus the
\nKhilafat movement led to an unprecedented
\nunion between the Indian Muslims and the
\nHindus and greatly strengthened the cause of

\nthe battle, giving, lordship (isvara-bhdva),

\nby Sri Aurobindo also for the class of society
\nperforming this function in other countries.

\nVarna is held to include a broad class of
\ncaste groups, differing widely in status and
\nheaded by the aristocratic Rajput lineages.
