The animated action sequence in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film, Kill
Bill, was inspired by 2D animated sequences in an Indian film
believed to be Aalavandhan. Hollywood filmmaker Barrie M. Osburne
called X's knowledge of literature, history and films "encyclopedic",
and Ang Lee said he was stunned by his brilliance and knowledge of
films.
On February 21, 2018, X formally launched his political party, Makkal
Needhi Maiam (lit. People's Justice Centre). The party's flag displays
six joined hands in a circle in alternate red and white colours with a
white star at its centre in a black background.
The Queen tours part of the MGR film city studios, with X the
Actor/Director of the complex and DMK chief M Karunanidhi on the

According to Encyclopædia Britannica, X provides a "rare glimpse" into human settlement and
cultural evolution from hunter-gatherers, to agriculture, and expressions of spirituality.
W. Kincaid, a British India era official, first mentioned X in a scholarly paper in 1888. He relied
on the information he gathered from local adivasis (tribals) about Bhojpur lake in the area and
referred to X as a Buddhist site. The first archaeologist to visit a few caves at the site and
discover its prehistoric significance was V. S. Wakankar, who saw these rock formations and
thought these were similar to those he had seen in Spain and France. He visited the area with a
team of archaeologists and reported several prehistoric rock shelters in 1957.
The site contains the world’s oldest stone walls and floors.

52. Bhimbetka Caves

53. Who?
X depicting himself as Jesus Christ?
For the cover, the self-proclaimed
"Yeezus" wore thorns on his head and
had blood dripping down his face. Of

image sacrilegious. Some felt that it
even mocked Jesus Christ.

55. Id X
In the late 1960s, X was perhaps the most
controversial figure in the entire world. His 1968
Esquire cover featured him in the likeness of St.
Sebastian, a third-century Christian martyr. Xwas a
hot topic at the time because of his public conversion
to Islam in 1964 and his refusal to be drafted into the
Army during the Vietnam drafting era.
Dudley Brooks, assistant photo editor for The
Washington Post, spoke about X’s persona during
that turbulent era of the late 1960s. "At the time, X
was hated by the establishment and was thoroughly
controversial within the mainstream."

56. Muhammad Ali

57. Which stunt sport?
X is a type of competition which originated from motocross racing. Originally only
included racing but in recent years has also spread to street, vert, park, and dirt
competitions.
X began when young boys appropriated motocross tracks for fun, racing and stunts,
eventually evolving specialized Y.
X is now one of the staple events at the annual Summer X Games Extreme Sports
competition and the Etnies Backyard Jam, held primarily on the East and West
coasts of the United States. The popularity of the sport has increased due to its
relative ease and availability of places to ride and do tricks.

61. A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July—
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
On 4 July 1862, in a rowing boat travelling on the Isis from Folly Bridge, Oxford, to
Godstow for a picnic outing, 10-year-old X asked Charles Dodgson (who wrote
under the pen name Y) to entertain her and her sisters, Edith (aged 8) and Lorina
(13), with a story. As the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed the boat, Dodgson
regaled the girls with fantastic stories of a girl, named Y. The story was not unlike
those Dodgson had spun for the sisters before, but this time Y asked Mr. Dodgson to
write it down for her. He promised to do so but did not get around to the task for
some months. He eventually presented her with the manuscript of Z in November
1864.

Professor Judson L. Jeffries of Purdue University calls the X "the most effective

held elected office in the United States, some into the 21st century; these include
Charles Barron (New York City Council), Nelson Malloy (Winston-Salem City
Council), and Bobby Rush (US House of Representatives). In Winston-Salem in
2012, a large contingent of local officials and community leaders came together to
install a historic marker of the local headquarters; State Representative Earline
Parmone declared "[The X] dared to stand up and say, 'We're fed up and we're not
