# 1981 Bahraini coup attempt

The 1981 Bahraini coup d'état attempt was a failed coup d'état which was orchestrated by the Islamic Front for the Liberation of Bahrain which operated with alleged backing from Iran. The Bahraini Ministry of Interior arrested 73 individuals who were accused of attempting to overthrow the Bahraini monarchy and install an Islamic republic similar to that in Iran. The plot is viewed as being the first overt attempt at undermining a Persian Gulf government with some measure of Iranian aid. The Iranian government denied involvement.

## Coup attempt

The coup was orchestrated by 73 individuals of various nationalities including 60 Bahrainis, 11 Saudis, a Kuwaiti, and an Omani. The Bahrainis had Shia-associated last names. The individuals had been trained in Iran, had automatic weapons, and some had Bahraini police uniforms, allegedly made in Iran. Iran denied all involvement. According to the government of Bahrain, an Iranian had brought two radios into Bahrain to be used by the plotters. The individuals planned to attack the Bahraini government offices Dar Al Hukuma and take ministers as hostages while simultaneously taking over the national radio building and television stations on December 16; a date which marks Bahrain's national day. Three of the plotters were given life sentences, while the remaining 70 received lighter jail terms.
The 1981 coup attempt in Bahrain was not only a localized effort but also part of a broader strategy by Iran to influence Shia-majority regions within the Gulf. The Islamic Front for the Liberation of Bahrain (IFLB), which orchestrated the coup, was heavily influenced by transnational Shia networks established by Iranian clerics such as Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi al-Modarresi. These networks aimed to strengthen Shia political activism and challenge Sunni-dominated ruling families in the region. The coup attempt was a manifestation of Iran's longstanding claims over Bahrain and its efforts to export the revolutionary fervor following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. This event marked one of the earliest instances of Iran attempting to exert asymmetric influence in the Persian Gulf, setting a precedent for future geopolitical tensions between Bahrain and Iran.

## Reaction

The Bahraini government expelled a number of Iranian diplomats shortly after the arrests. The expulsions included Iranian diplomat Hassan Shushtari Zadeh, the top Iranian diplomat in Bahrain at that time.

# Sachin State

The Sachin State (Gujarati: સચીન રિયાસત; Urdu: سچن ریاست) was a princely state belonging to the Surat Agency, former Khandesh Agency, of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj. Its capital was in Sachin, the southernmost town of present-day Surat district of Gujarat State.

## History

Maharaja of Parmar Rajputs had established the State of Sachin. Sachin state was invaded on 6 June 1791. Though over 85% of the subjects were Hindu, the state was ruled by Sunni Muslims of the Siddi dynasty of Danda-Rajpuri and Janjira State. The Siddi dynasty is of Abyssinian (Habesha) origin.
Sachin State was under the protection of the Maratha Peshwa until it became a British protectorate. It had its own cavalry, currency, and stamped paper, as well as a state band that included Africans.
Fatma Begum (1892–1983), one of the early superstars of Hindi cinema and India's first female film director, was allegedly married to Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan III of Sachin State. But Sachin royal family sources cast a veil over this claiming no record of a marriage or contract having taken place between the Nawab and Fatima Bai or of the Nawab having officially recognised their children, Sultana, Zubeida and Shehzadi, as his own. Sultana, the daughter of Fatima Begum, became a leading figure in early Indian movies. Zubeida, leading actress of India's first talkie film Alam Ara (1931), was her younger sister.
Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan III, Sachin State's last ruler, signed the accession to join the Indian Union on 8 March 1948. The state then became part of Surat district in Bombay Province.
After the Partition of India, Zubaida stayed in India, while her sister Sultana moved to Pakistan where she married and had a daughter, Jamila Razzaq, who became a prominent Pakistani actress in the decade between the mid-1950s and the mid-1960s.

### Rulers

The rulers of Sachin State bore the title 'Nawab' and were granted the right of a 9 gun salute by the British authorities.

#### Nawabs

* 6 Jun 1791 – 9 July 1802 Abdul Karim Mohammad Yakut Khan I (b. 17.. – d. 1802)
* 9 July 1802 – 25 March 1853 Ibrahim Mohammad Yakut Khan I (d. 1853)
* 25 Mar 1853 – 1 December 1868 Abdul Karim Mohammad Yakut Khan II (b. 1802 – d. 1868)
* 1 December 1868 – 4 March 1873 Ibrahim Mohammad Yakut Khan II (b. 1833 – d. 1873)

Raymond, Jr. began his schooling at the East Orange Public School System and then went to boarding school at Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario.

During his first term as mayor of Newark, the Newark Meadows were filled in to construct the beginnings of Port Newark. In 1920, Raymond ran in the Gubernatorial primary and lost. In 1925, Thomas L. Raymond began his second term as mayor of Newark.

# Day of Victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War

The Day of Victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War (Victory Day) is a national holiday in North Korea celebrated on July 27 to mark the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement which brought a cease fire to the Fatherland Liberation War (Korean War) that took place in 1950–53; it is referred to as "Victory Day" despite the fact that the war is generally regarded as having ended in a stalemate. On this day ceremonies are held at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Memorial.

## History

In 1973, July 27 was designated as the Day of Victory in the Great Fatherland Liberation War. Ceremonies such as central plenary meetings (중앙보고대회, also alternatively translated as national meetings) were done in a small scale only in the 5th and 10th anniversaries.
From 1993 to 1998, central plenary meetings were held annually.
In 1996, during the 43rd anniversary, the day was promoted to the status of a national holiday, which involved raising the North Korean flag and resting for one day. In 1999, central plenary meetings were omitted. From 2000 to 2002, the ceremonies were reduced in size and was mainly run as a cultural athletic event due to the inter Korean summits. In 2003, the size of the ceremonies increased due to international tensions and nuclear crisis.
