Faizabad, Sept. 30: Bhaskar Das sat cross-legged in his cot, smiling from ear to ear. “Yes, the Remington typewriter. It was the Remington typewriter that gave me trouble many a time,” he said.

Das, the mahant of Nirmohi Akhara, had filed the first petition seeking ownership rights of the Ayodhya land where Hindus claim a mosque was built atop a Ram temple. That was in 1959. Then in his early 30s, he had filed the case on behalf of Mahant Raghunath Das, who was heading the Panth Mahanandi Nirmohi Akhara at the time.

“I was young and Maharajji had entrusted me with the job of filing the petition. Everyday I used to travel to Faizabad court and sit with the advocate for hours and watch a kat-pat machine striking at a piece of paper and leaving behind the impression of letters,” Bhaskar Das said, recalling how he had gone about the job.

A moment later, a crease appeared on his forehead and Das, 82, began tapping his forefinger on the side of his head. The compound of Shyam Khatu Mandir at Naka Hanumangarhi, where he lives, fell silent.

Then he asked: “And you know who typed that petition for the first time? A Muslim. One Siddiqui Sahib, an aged clerk working with vakil sahib. He died sometime in 1961, almost a year after the first ownership petition was filed.”

Das recalled how he had to travel four to five times a day from the civil court to the Panth office to get Maharajji’s signature because the clerk had made a typographical error. “Vakil sahib was very particular. One mistake and Siddiqui was asked to type a fresh page, and I had to travel almost 4km to get Maharajji’s fresh signature,” he said.

As public transport was limited and he did not have a bicycle, he would travel in a mule cart, Das said. At times, he would walk; at others, he would borrow vakil sahib’s bicycle.

“Every time I had to walk, I would curse the Remington and Siddiqui. Sometimes, I felt Siddiqui sahib made a mistake by design just to harass me,” he said.

So why did the Nirmohi Akhara file the petition?

“In 1949, when the government locked the gates of the temple after idols of Ram appeared, we petitioned the administration to give us ownership rights because revenue records were in the name of Nirmohi Akhara since 1940, Das explained. “When we did not get any response, we decided to move the court in 1959.”

The Flintstone Characters Turn 50 Today

Fifty years ago today, the world was introduced to The Flintstones characters, most notably Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty. The cartoon was the first animated series to air in prime time, and adults and children alike couldn’t wait for the show’s premiere. The series, which was created by Hanna Barbara, ran for six seasons. It was the longest running animated prime time show up until the Simpsons came along.

The Flintstones was made to imitate modern time situations, but set in the prehistoric era. The Flintstones characters were even inspired by real life actors and actresses. It’s no secret that the show was modeled after The Honeymooners, with Fred being reminiscent of Jackie Gleason’s character, Ralph Cramden. Fred Flintstone’s neighbor and friend, Barney Rubble, was made to resemble Art Carney’s character, Ed Norton. Wilma and Betty took on the personalities of the wives on The Honeymooners.

The association was so apparent, that Jackie Gleason himself even threatened to sue Hanna Barbera. He supposedly decided not to go through with it, because he didn’t want to be known as “the guy who yanked Fred Flintstone off the air.”

Other Flinstones guest characters were also inspired by real life actors. For example:

“Cary Granite” – Cary Grant

“Stony Curtis” – Tony Curtis

“Ed Sulleyrock” – Ed Sullivan

“Rock Hudstone” – Rock Hudson

“Ann Margrock” – Ann Margaret

The Flintstones and its characters continue to delight kids to this day…especially in the form of Flintstone vitamins. Happy Anniversary to the Flintstones!
