Tumbel
Tumbel is a clan and division of the Charanas of Gujarat, Sindh, and Balochistan. Historically, they were known for their military services in the kingdoms of Kutch and Nawanagar. History Origin The most common myths present the Charanas as creations of Parvati and Shiva. For the Tumbel, it is said that a Naga maiden ''Avari'' or ''Avad'' (distinct from 8th century goddess ''Avad'') agreed to marry the Charana on the condition that he would never speak to her. The Charana broke their vow when Avad became pregnant with their fourth son. She released the half-formed child from her womb, placing it in a bowl/shell (''tumba''), and casting it into the sea. As the child was born unfinished, the lineage descended from it is considered only half a ''Para'' (marriage groups among the Kachchela Charanas). And since the boy was discovered in a ''tumba'' (shell), the lineage was called Tumbel. The shell was found along the coast of Makran by a Samma chief, sometimes called Jam La ...

The AAP is currently the ruling party of two governments: Delhi, the capital territory of India, and the state of Punjab. The party's election symbol is a broom.

Reform Movement
A reform movement or reformism is a type of social movement that aims to bring a social or also a political system closer to the community's ideal. A reform movement is distinguished from more radical social movements such as revolutionary movements which reject those old ideals, in that the ideas are often grounded in liberalism, although they may be rooted in socialist (specifically, social democratic) or religious concepts. Some rely on personal transformation; others rely on small collectives, such as Mahatma Gandhi's spinning wheel and the self-sustaining village economy, as a mode of social change. Reactionary movements, which can arise against any of these, attempt to put things back the way they were before any successes the new reform movement(s) enjoyed, or to prevent any such successes. United Kingdom After two decades of intensely conservative rule, the logjam broke in the late 1820s with the repeal of obsolete restrictions on Nonconformists, followed by the d ...
