== Early life ==
Pawar was born on 22 July 1959 at his grandfather's place in Deolali Pravara, [[Ahmednagar district]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ajit Aanantrao Pawar (Nationalist Congress Party):Constituency- Baramati (Pune) - Affidavit Information of Candidate|url=https://myneta.info/maharashtra2019/candidate.php?candidate_id=10610|access-date=2021-09-18|website=myneta.info}}</ref> He completed his schooling in [[Deolali]] Pravara. He hails from the village of Katevadi in [[Baramati]] taluka, Pune district. He is nephew of the [[Nationalist Congress Party]] President, [[Sharad Pawar]]. Pawar is son of [[Sharad Pawar]]'s elder brother, Anantrao Pawar. Anantrao had initially worked for renowned film maker [[V.Shantaram]]'s [[Rajkamal Kalamandir|Rajkamal Studios]] in [[Mumbai]]. Pawar's grandfather, Govindrao Pawar, was employed with Baramati Co-operative trading and his grandmother looked after the family farm.

Pawar was pursuing a college degree; however, due to the death of his father, he dropped out to help take care of his family. He is educated up to Secondary school level and holds the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) from the [[Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education|Maharashtra State Board]].

==Political career==
While Pawar was pursuing his primary education at ''Deolali Pravara'', his uncle, [[Sharad Pawar]] was a rising political figure in the ruling Congress party.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ndtv.com/people/who-is-ajit-pawar-500245 |title=Ajit Pawar |publisher=NDTV |access-date=29 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180529204442/https://www.ndtv.com/people/who-is-ajit-pawar-500245 |archive-date=29 May 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Pawar moved to then Bombay for more extensive education. Pawar made his foray into politics in 1982, when he was elected to the board of a [[Cooperative sugar factories in Maharashtra|cooperative sugar factory]]. He was elected as a chairman of the [[Pune District Central Cooperative Bank|Pune District Co-operative Bank]] (PDC) in 1991 and remained in post for 16 years. During this period he was also elected as [[Member of parliament, Lok Sabha]] from the [[Baramati (Lok Sabha constituency)|Baramati]] Parliamentary Constituency. He later vacated his [[Lok Sabha]] seat in favour of his uncle, Sharad Pawar, who had then become the defence minister in [[PV Narasimha Rao]]'s government. Later, he was elected as a Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly (MLA) from [[Baramati (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Baramati]] Assembly Constituency. Pawar was re-elected from the same constituency in 1995, 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2014.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/baramati-stays-with-ajit-pawar/|title=Baramati stays with Ajit Pawar|work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=20 October 2014|access-date=7 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141112215336/http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/baramati-stays-with-ajit-pawar/|archive-date=12 November 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
He went on to become the Minister of State for Agriculture and Power (June 1991 - November 1992) in [[Sudhakarrao Naik]]'s government.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|title=Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra|url=https://maharashtrasadan.maharashtra.gov.in/Deputy-CM-New.html|access-date=2022-01-27|website=maharashtrasadan.maharashtra.gov.in}}</ref>

He became the Minister of State for Soil Conservation, Power and Planning (November 1992 - February 1993) when [[Sharad Pawar]] returned to the state as the Chief Minister. When the [[Indian National Congress]]-NCP coalition came into power in 1999, Pawar was promoted to cabinet minister in the Irrigation Department (October 1999 - December 2003) in [[Vilasrao Deshmukh]]'s government. He was given additional charge of the Rural Development Department (December 2003 - October 2004) in [[Sushilkumar Shinde]]'s government.<ref name="auto"/>
When Congress-NCP combination returned to power in 2004, he retained the Water Resources Ministry in Deshmukh's government and later in [[Ashok Chavan]]'s government.

On 23 November 2019, Pawar was sworn as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra State with BJP without his party's consent. He submitted paper with signatures of NCP MLAs to Governor of State. He was on the post for less than 80 hours, becoming Deputy CM with the shortest tenure in [[Devendra Fadnavis]] led government. On 1 December 2019, it was announced that Pawar would take over as Deputy Chief Minister for the [[Maha Vikas Aghadi]] administration after the commencement of the winter session of the state legislature on 16 December.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/ajit-pawar-to-be-deputy-cm-after-winter-session-begins/articleshow/72326204.cms|title=Ajit Pawar to be deputy CM after winter session begins|date=2 December 2019|first=Prafulla|last=Marpakwar|newspaper=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2019-12-03}}</ref>

== Controversies ==
{{controversy section|date=June 2022}}
There are allegations that, as the minister for water resources, he spared no efforts to help in the development of [[Lavasa]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.downtoearth.org.in/node/33283 |title=Lavasa's journey downhill |publisher=Down To Earth |date=15 April 2011 |access-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130703211319/http://www.downtoearth.org.in/node/33283 |archive-date=3 July 2013 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref> a project touted as a "vision of Sharad Pawar". The Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation (MKVDC) leased {{convert|141.15|ha|abbr=on}} to Lavasa in August 2002, which included part of the Warasgaon dam reservoir. The lease between MKVDC and Lavasa was executed at rates far below the market rate.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.downtoearth.org.in/node/33282 |title=Lavasa exposed |publisher=Down To Earth |date=15 April 2011 |access-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130501192046/http://www.downtoearth.org.in/node/33282 |archive-date=1 May 2013 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

He told the Indian Election Commission in 2004 that he had financial assets of more than 3 crore Rupees at that time.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}}

In September 2012, there were accusations that there had been misappropriation of funds amounting to {{INR}} 70,000 Crores. These allegations were made by the Maharashtra bureaucrat, [[Vijay Pandhare]], and caused [[Anjali Damania]] to request Pawar's resignation as a minister. However, the allegations were not proven, and he was successfully reinstated as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/ajit-pawar-to-return-as-maharashtra-deputy-chief-minister-112120605099_1.html|title= Ajit Pawar reinstated |newspaper=Business Standard India|access-date=2019-11-24|date= 6 December 2012 }}</ref>

On 7 April 2013, Pawar in an attempt at being comical about his inability to bring waters to the dams, made a controversial statement in a speech at [[Indapur]]. Activists were fasting for 55 days in Maharashtra, against the Maharashtra government and their incompetence of not providing relief in the form of water to citizens suffering from the drought. In response to this, in a speech at large crowd gathering, Pawar stated: "If there is no water in the dam ... Should we urinate into it?". Due to the political and media pressure, he publicly apologized for the statement, admitting that the comment was the biggest mistake of his life.<ref>{{cite news |date=8 April 2013 |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-08/india/38372423_1_ajit-pawar-crass-humour-deputy-cm |title=Ajit Pawar apologizes again, says 'this is biggest mistake of my life' |access-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601065447/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-08/india/38372423_1_ajit-pawar-crass-humour-deputy-cm |archive-date=1 June 2013 |url-status=dead |work=[[The Times of India]] |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

Sait clan

2023-03-31T17:08:43Z

Talhassaitt1:

{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}
[[Kutch]] was a princely state that included [[Bhuj]], [[Anjar, India|Anjar]], Lakhpath, and [[Mandvi]]. The Kutchi [[Memons]] are now spread all over the globe with concentrated populations in [[Mumbai]], [[Pune]], [[Mysore]], [[Bangalore]], [[Chennai]],[[Cannanore]], [[Tellicherry]], [[Calicut]], [[Kochi]], [[Coonoor]], [[Trivandrum]], [[Quilon]], [[Kayamkulam]], [[Alleppey]], [[Ooty]], [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra]], [[Arsikere]] and [[Tumakuru]].

Kutchi Memons have the surname Sait (for men) and Bai (for women), although there are Saits among Punjabis too. Bai is a common appellation in northern India for women in high positions, e.g., Rani Lakshmi Bai.
The first families that migrated to Travancore (now central and south Kerala) were called Sett, a vulgarisation of the appellation Seth or Saith - rich man - by the Tamil-oriented Travancoreans. The title got further skewed phonetically, by the Turkish oriented Pathans then in administration to Sait (there are also Saits in Turkey). Sait then became a surname for them and their children. They spread from Travancore to other states, though a few families joined them directly from Kutchch afterwards. After independence many families migrated from Kutch to Pakistan, but migration from South India was very insignificant, and whoever migrated retained the title Sait and are understood to be migrants via South.

Kutchi Memons have mostly been in business, ranging from large trading houses down to road side hawkers, but with the new generation{{vague|date=August 2019}} this trend is changing. The community has a very modern outlook and most individuals are educated. The community is very peculiar about its unique identity and in some pockets marriage outside the community is still looked upon unkindly, though in Kerala nearly 95% of Memons can no longer claim pure blood - at least three generations have crossed with native Muslims. The written Language had been Gujarati for long, migrants into Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra speak Urdu but it is slowly changing from [[Urdu]] to regional languages; change to Malayalam in Kerala is practically complete though Kutchi is still understood by a sizeable population. The local languages are used for written communication even among members of the clan in Kerala and Urdu in other states.

The size of the population cannot be determined due to its lack of concentration but estimations would put their number close to 0.5 million people. The community follows all the basic [[Sunni]] [[Hanafi]] Islamic tradition but with somewhat different practices remnant of the old Kutchi traditions modified by local customs.

==Etymology==
Etymologically, the name of the city is believed to have been mutated possibly from "Tumbe ooru" because of the abundance of thumbe hoovu, a kind of flower, or thamate ooru because of the folk musical percussion instrument thamate, that might have been used most here. It is also called ''Kalpatharu Nadu'' (land of coconut trees), due to the abundance of coconut trees in the area.<ref name="nickname">{{Cite web|title=About Tumkur, the land of education {{!}} SSDC|url=https://www.ssdctumkur.org/about-tumkur.html|access-date=31 December 2020|website=www.ssdctumkur.org}}</ref>

Another story says that during the rule of cholas Gulur was their capital. Since Tumkur is at high elevation the guards used to be there on any hill with tumaki (a kind of drum) and used to make sound in case of any alerts, hence the name. The Indian central government approved the request to officially rename the Tumkur and 12 other cities in October 2014. The city officially became "Tumakuru" on 1 November 2014.<ref>{{cite news|last1=New City|first1=Names to Karnatka|title=New name for cities|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/from-bangalore-to-bengaluru/article6553314.ece|access-date=1 November 2014|newspaper=The Hindu}}</ref>

'''Dr. Pranab Mukherjee''' (11 December 1935{{spnd}}31 August 2020) was an Indian politician and statesman who served as the 13th [[president of India]] from 2012 until 2017. In a political career spanning five decades, Mukherjee was a senior leader in the [[Indian National Congress]] and occupied several ministerial portfolios in the [[Government of India]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/in-coalition-govts-its-difficult-to-reconcile-regional-with-national-interests-pranab-mukherjee/articleshow/61139336.cms|title=In coalition govts, it's difficult to reconcile regional with national interests: Pranab Mukherjee|website=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=19 October 2017|archive-date=20 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020005806/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/in-coalition-govts-its-difficult-to-reconcile-regional-with-national-interests-pranab-mukherjee/articleshow/61139336.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to his [[2012 Indian presidential election|election as President]], Mukherjee was [[Minister of Finance (India)|Union Finance Minister]] from 2009 to 2012. He was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the [[Bharat Ratna]], in 2019, by his successor as president, [[Ram Nath Kovind]].<ref>{{Cite news|agency=PTI|date=9 August 2019|title=Bharat Ratna for Pranab Mukherjee fitting recognition for his service to nation: PM Modi|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bharat-ratna-for-pranab-mukherjee-fitting-recognition-for-his-service-to-nation-pm-modi/article28922094.ece|url-status=live|access-date=4 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108002455/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bharat-ratna-for-pranab-mukherjee-fitting-recognition-for-his-service-to-nation-pm-modi/article28922094.ece|archive-date=8 November 2020|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Mukherjee got his break in politics in 1969 when the then Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] helped him get elected to the [[Rajya Sabha]], the upper house of [[Parliament of India]], on a Congress [[Ticket (election)|ticket]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pranab Mukherjee passes away: A glimpse into Congress stalwart's life – Early Life|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/pranab-mukherjee-passes-away-a-glimpse-into-congress-stalwarts-life/early-life/slideshow/77866966.cms|access-date=4 December 2020|website=The Economic Times}}</ref> Following a meteoric rise, he became one of Gandhi's most trusted lieutenants and a minister in her cabinet in 1973. Mukherjee's service in a number of ministerial capacities culminated in his first stint as [[Finance Minister of India]] in 1982–84. He was also the [[Leader of the House (Rajya Sabha)|Leader of the House]] in the Rajya Sabha from 1980 to 1985.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pranab Mukherjee|url=https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/292871.Pranab_Mukherjee|access-date=4 December 2020|website=www.goodreads.com}}</ref>

Mukherjee was sidelined from Congress during the premiership of [[Rajiv Gandhi]]. Mukherjee had viewed himself and not the inexperienced Rajiv, as the rightful successor to Indira following [[Assassination of Indira Gandhi|her assassination]] in 1984. Mukherjee lost out in the ensuing power struggle. He formed his own party, the [[Rashtriya Samajwadi Congress]], which merged with Congress in 1989 after reaching a consensus with Rajiv Gandhi.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gujral|first=Inder Kumar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K6pABAAAQBAJ|title=Matters of Discretion: An Autobiography|publisher=[[Penguin Books]] Publication|year=2011|isbn=978-93-8048-080-0|pages=56–63|author-link=Inder Kumar Gujral|archive-url=https://books.google.com/books/about/Matters_of_Discretion.html?id=C_ePpwAACAAJ|archive-date=19 October 2017}}</ref> After Rajiv Gandhi's [[Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi|assassination in 1991]], Mukherjee's political career was revived when Prime Minister [[P. V. Narasimha Rao]] appointed him [[Planning Commission (India)|Planning Commission]] head in 1991 and [[Minister of External Affairs (India)|foreign minister]] in 1995. Following this, as an elder statesman of Congress, Mukherjee was the principal architect of [[Sonia Gandhi]]'s ascent to the [[President of the Indian National Congress|party's presidency]] in 1998.<ref name="europe.eu2" />

When the Congress-led [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA) came to power in 2004, Mukherjee won a [[Lok Sabha]] (the popularly elected lower house of Parliament) seat for the first time. From then until his resignation in 2012, he held a number of key cabinet portfolios in Prime Minister [[Manmohan Singh]]'s government{{snd}}[[Minister of Defence (India)|Defence]] (2004–06), [[Minister of External Affairs (India)|External Affairs]] (2006–09), and Finance (2009–12){{snd}}apart from heading several Groups of Ministers (GoMs) and being [[Leader of the House (Lok Sabha)|Leader of the House]] in the Lok Sabha.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pranab Mukherjee|url=https://indianexpress.com/about/pranab-mukherjee/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200817133027/https://indianexpress.com/about/pranab-mukherjee/|archive-date=17 August 2020|access-date=4 December 2020|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref> After securing the UPA's nomination for the country's presidency in July 2012, Mukherjee comfortably defeated [[P.

In 2017, Mukherjee decided not to run for [[2017 Indian presidential election|re-election]] and to retire from politics after leaving the presidency due to "health complications relating to old age."

In 1979, Mukherjee became Deputy Leader of the INC in the Rajya Sabha, and in 1980, he was appointed Leader of the House.<ref name="GOVT2"/> He was considered the top-ranking Indian cabinet minister and he presided over cabinet meetings in the absence of the Prime Minister.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pranabmukherjee.nic.in/profile.html|title=Pranab Mukherjee|website=pranabmukherjee|access-date=10 October 2019|archive-date=31 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200831133202/http://pranabmukherjee.nic.in/profile.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Mukherjee was sidelined from the INC following [[Assassination of Indira Gandhi|the assassination of Indira Gandhi]]. Although he was much more experienced in politics than Indira's son, Rajiv Gandhi, it was Rajiv who gained control. Mukherjee lost his position in the cabinet and was sent to manage the regional [[West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee]]. He was considered to be Indira's likely successor and, siding with those within his party who aligned themselves against Rajiv Gandhi, Mukherjee was sidelined and eventually expelled from the mainstream.<ref name="Pranab Mukherjee's USP for President: sheer experience"/><ref name="zee news">{{cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/exclusive/pranab-mukherjee-the-13th-president-of-india_789045.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103112035/http://zeenews.india.com/news/exclusive/pranab-mukherjee-the-13th-president-of-india_789045.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|title=Pranab Mukherjee – The 13th President of India|publisher=Zee News|date=22 July 2012|access-date=22 July 2012}}</ref>

In 1986, Mukherjee founded another party, the [[Rashtriya Samajwadi Congress]] (RSC), in West Bengal. The RSC and INC merged three years later after a compromise was reached with Rajiv Gandhi. The RSC had fared terribly in the 1987 Assembly polls in West Bengal.

Mukherjee's political career revived following the [[Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi]] in 1991, when [[P. V. Narasimha Rao]] chose to appoint him as deputy chairman of the Indian Planning Commission and subsequently as a union cabinet minister. He served as External Affairs Minister from 1995 to 1996 in Rao's cabinet.<ref name="GOVT2"/>

Mukherjee expanded funding for several social sector schemes including the [[Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission]]. He also supported budget increases for improving [[literacy in India|literacy]] and health care. He expanded infrastructure programmes such as the [[National Highway Development Programme]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=More Funds for Infrastructure Development, Farmers|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/more-funds-for-infrastructure-development-farmers/662289|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200901040912/https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/more-funds-for-infrastructure-development-farmers/662289|archive-date=1 September 2020|access-date=1 September 2020|website=Outlook India}}</ref> Electricity coverage was also expanded during his tenure. Mukherjee also reaffirmed his commitment to the principle of fiscal prudence as some economists expressed concern about the rising fiscal deficits during his tenure, the highest since 1991.

In 2010, he was awarded "Finance Minister of the Year for Asia" by ''Emerging Markets'', the daily newspaper of record for the [[World Bank]] and the [[International Monetary Fund]] (IMF).

Mukherjee's final years at the finance ministry were not considered a success.

* Raja's favorite housemates (including Shiv, Nimrit, Abdu and excluding MC Stan due to his punishment) will have to do a task given by other non-favorite housemates (Priyanka, Archana, Ankit).

One day Sameen takes Khurram to her house, where he realises that it is Hala's house as he had gone there before and sees her and Hamza together from behind the bushes and vows to take a revenge on her. It is soon revealed that Hala is pregnant and will not be able to travel to London. After knowing of Hala's pregnancy, grandmother and Hamza are over the moon and the others are less than happy. Shah Jahan, seeing Hala's importance grow because of her unborn child, decides to make Hala miscarry her child. In order to do that, she gives her a pain medicine and Hala, thinking Shah Jahan has changed, eats the medicine.

[[File:Wesleyan-Mission Premises, Coonghul, Mysore (VII, p.129, October 1950) - Copy.jpg|thumb|Tumkur in History]]
The known history of Tumakuru district begins with the Gangas. The Ganga family ruled over the southern and eastern districts of the State from early in the Christian era to 1025 A.D. The earliest record of the Ganga family found in this district belongs to about 400 A.D. After the Gangas, Tumkur was ruled by the Rastrakutas and the Chalukyas. The Nolambas under these rulers ruled the area for a long time. The cholas also ruled some parts of the district. The Vijayanagara Empire ruled supreme for the later part of the 13th to 17th century. During the 18th and 19th century, Tumkur was ruled by the Wodeyars of Mysore until Independence.

The Tumakuru Town Municipality was set up by the British and Mysore Wodeyars in the 1916. Self-rule of the residents started after the setting up of the municipality. It was converted into a City Corporation only in 2010 by adding 22 villages adjoining the city. The population is {{formatnum:305877}} as per the 2011 census.

==Economy==

NIMZ of approx. 13500 acres and the HAL Helicopter manufacturing facility (Nr Gubbi) 610 acres will be developed as integrated industrial townships with state-of-the art infrastructure and land use on the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient technology; necessary social infrastructure; skill development facilities, etc., for promoting world class manufacturing activity. Tumkur is home to 24 large scale industries with an investment of 9114.2 million and generating an employment for 6445 persons. The existing 15 medium scale industries and 23804 micro and small Industries employ 132994 persons and account for an investment of close to 7.90 billion.

The government of India has promised 1 billion each as a matching grant for five years and the local Body with assistance from the state government has to match another 1 billion.

They, however, managed to reach and win their third consecutive clay final in Internazionali d'Italia, by defeating Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina in the deciding tie-breaker.

===2017–2018: Split with Hingis, maternity leave===
In August 2016, Mirza and Hingis announced their mutual decision to split as a team, citing their last few under-par performances, with the [[2016 WTA Finals|2016 WTA Finals in Singapore]] being their last event together. Mirza partnered with [[Barbora Strýcová]] in late 2016 (winning two titles) and some parts of the [[2017 WTA Tour|2017 season]]. In 2017, her sole title came at [[2017 Brisbane International|Brisbane]], where she played alongside her friend Mattek-Sands. However, Mirza struggled to find a committed partner to play with in the [[2017 WTA Tour|2017 season]], which resulted in her falling out of the top 5. The last tournament she played was the [[2017 China Open (tennis)|China Open]], where she lost in the semifinals partnering Peng Shuai.

Mirza missed the first few tournaments of the [[2018 WTA Tour|2018 season]], including the [[2018 Australian Open|Australian Open]], citing a knee injury she sustained in October 2017. In early February 2018, Mirza said the same injury would keep her out of competition for a further two months.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/sania-mirza-to-be-off-court-plans-a-two-month-break-after-knee-injury/articleshow/62788684.cms|title=Sania Mirza to be off court, plans a two-month break after knee injury|date=5 February 2018|work=The Economic Times|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref> In April, Mirza announced on [[Instagram]] that she was pregnant with her first child, with husband Shoaib Malik.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/mirza-expecting-first-child-shoaib-malik%20|title=Mirza expecting first child with Shoaib Malik|date=23 April 2018|work=WTA|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref> In late October, Mirza had delivered a baby boy.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/mirza-gives-birth-baby-boy|title=Mirza gives birth to baby boy|date=30 October 2018|work=WTA|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref>

===2020: Winning return===
In late 2018, Mirza announced she hoped to return to professional tennis in time for the [[2020 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/mom-be-mirza-aiming-olympic-return|title=Mom-to-be Mirza aiming for Olympic return|date=7 May 2018|work=WTA|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref> After having celebrated her son's first birthday and having spent more than two years off the professional circuit, she returned to the tour at the [[2020 Hobart International – Doubles|Hobart International]] in January 2020 playing alongside [[Nadiia Kichenok]].

==Playing style==
Mirza is an [[Tennis strategy|offensive baseliner]] with very powerful [[groundstroke]] and is known for setting up good attacks with the sheer velocity of her groundstrokes. Her main strength is her [[forehand]], as well as her volleying skills.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsrediscovered.com/2011/analysis-sanias-third-grand-slam-win|title=Analysis of Sania's Third Grand Slam Win|work=Sports Rediscovered}}</ref> Her power game has drawn comparisons to Romanian legend [[Ilie Năstase]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.saniamirza.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=49|title=Saniamirza.com|access-date=6 August 2015}}</ref> She is also a great returner of serve finding many return winners during matches. Mirza goes for winners, which means she goes for many angles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ninarota.com/tennis/sania-mirzas-fiery-forehand/|title=Sania Mirza's Fiery Forehand|work=ninarota.com}}</ref> Mirza has said that "There's no doubt that my forehand and backhand can match anyone, it's about the place that they're put in. I can hit the ball as hard as anyone can". "I'm not that fast on my feet", she added as her most evident weakness is her movement around the court, where Mirza usually struggles moving up and around the court. Mirza's second serve and relatively poor mobility are often quoted as her big weaknesses. But by 2012, a series of injuries had effectively ended her singles career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1176088|title=Sania Mirza: The forehand that brought Indian tennis back to life|author=Keshava Guha|date=15 April 2015 |access-date=6 August 2015}}</ref>

==Controversies==
[[File:Sania Mirza, Mahesh Bhupathi, Bipasha Basu at the NDTV Marks for Sports event 08 (cropped).jpg|thumb|250px| Mirza (here with Bhupathi) accused the [[All India Tennis Association]] (AITA) of using her as 'bait' in [[Leander Paes|Paes]]–[[Mahesh Bhupathi|Bhupathi]] 2012 Olympics controversy.]]

In 2006, some newspapers reported that Mirza declined to play doubles with Israeli tennis player [[Shahar Pe'er]] for fear of protests from India's Muslim community.<ref name="ynet">{{cite news|url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3217231,00.html|title=Sania Mirza Indian tennis star refuses to play with Israeli |newspaper=Ynetnews | access-date=27 April 2007|year=2006|last1=Sagy |first1=Miki }}</ref>

On 4 February 2008, Mirza said that she would stop appearing in tennis tournaments held in India, starting with the [[2008 Canara Bank Bangalore Open|2008 Bangalore Open]] the following month, citing the series of controversies and upon advice by her manager.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mirza boycotts Indian tournaments |publisher=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7227094.stm |access-date=2 April 2008 | date=4 February 2008}}</ref> But Mirza chose to participate at the [[Tennis at the 2010 Commonwealth Games|2010 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Delhi]].

After both [[Mahesh Bhupathi]] and [[Rohan Bopanna]] refused to play in the men's doubles event at the 2012 Olympics with [[Leander Paes]], Paes demanded that he be partnered with Mirza for the mixed doubles event. Mirza accused the [[All India Tennis Association]] (AITA) of using her as 'bait' to keep Paes happy as she wanted to play with Bhupathi, with whom she has won 2 grand slams. In the end, Mirza was paired with Paes and the pair lost in the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.timesofindia.com/sports/tournaments/london-olympics/Sania-Mirza-Humiliating-to-be-used-as-bait-for-Paes/articleshow/14418170.cms|title=Sania Mirza: Humiliating to be used as bait for Paes|work=The Times of India}}</ref>

In response, Mirza reaffirmed loyalty to the land of her birth—"To see the national flag go up while standing on the podium is the proudest moment in an athlete's life and I will want to experience that for myself in London."<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-08/news/32588214_1_olympic-medal-doubles-wimbledon | archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103080154/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-08/news/32588214_1_olympic-medal-doubles-wimbledon | url-status=dead | archive-date=3 January 2013 | work=[[The Times of India]] |title=I'll play with anyone for my country: Sania Mirza |date=8 July 2012}}</ref>

Mirza was referred to as "Pakistan's daughter-in-law" and unfit to be a representative of an Indian state after she was appointed the [[Telangana]] state's [[brand ambassador]].
