Using modern day archaeological, forensic and ballistic techniques, the investigators were able to determine hundreds of individual weapons of differing makes and models used at the battle, the locations of their use, and even track the movement of individual weapons across the battlefield. In the Spring of 1984, with funding from the Custer Battlefield Museum and Historical Association, and support from the National Park Service, an intensive archaeological survey and excavation was conducted, in which thousands of artifacts were recovered and recorded, over 2,000 of which were battle-related ammunition artifacts such as cartridges, casings and the like. This fire, having denuded the land of its thick grassy vegetation, paved the way for an archaeological study that would exponentially further our knowledge of that fateful battle.
In August 1983, more than 100 years after what is among the most famous battles fought on American soil, a grassfire raged across the plains of the Custer Battlefield National Monument. It would remain in the Spear family for over a century.

The plea filed by advocate Pawan Prakash Pathak claims that though the Ranveer Singh starter talks about the issue of female foeticide in India and promotes Saving the Girl Child cause, the film’s trailer undeniably promotes the use of ultrasound technique for sex selection, which is against the law and prohibited under Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994.Īccording to the report, the plea by the advocate reads, “The ultrasound clinic scene where the technology of ultrasound for sex selection is being advertised openly without censor and as per section 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 6 & 22 of the PC & PNDT Act, same is not allowed & hence the instant PIL.”
Responding to the eager question by both, the gynecologist is seen using a code that indicates that the wife is having a girl child.Īpparently, the use of this particular scene in the film has enraged the NGO which in turn made them take this drastic step of bringing legality in between. As the trailer continues, a very nervous Ranveer is also witnessed asking the doctor about the baby’s sex. During the scene, Boman’s character, questions the doctor about the sex of the baby and is seen hoping it’s a boy. For the unversed, Ranveer Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar’s trailer features a scene that shows Ranveer‘s character and his wife Shalini Pandey’s character visiting a gynaecologist along with their family (Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah).
