Anjum Rajabali is a prolific Indian screenwriter. He has spent over 20 years in the Indian film industry with films like Drohkaal, Ghulam, The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Raajneeti to his credit. He is also known for his leadership and contribution to various writers’ rights initiatives in India, most notably recognized for lobbying with other prominent writers and activists for amendments in the Copyright Act in favour of writers.
He began his career in the film industry as an associate scriptwriter for the critically acclaimed Drohkaal (1994). In 1998, Anjum wrote the screenplay for the film China Gate along with writing the story and screenplay for the hit crime-thriller Ghulam, starring Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherji. In the following years, Anjum is credited with writing for prominent films across a variety of genres, including the action film Kachche Dhaage (1999), the drama Pukar (2000), the biographical film The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002) and the horror Naina (2005). He was the script consultant on Prakash Jha’s crime-drama Apaharan (2005) and Anjum’s association with him extended for the next four successive films that Prakash Jha directed, with Anjum writing for Raajneeti (2010), Aarakshan (2011), Chakravyuh(2012) and his latest release Satyagraha (2013).
Anjum (West Frisian: Eanjum) is a village in the Dutch province of Friesland. It is located in the municipality Dongeradeel.
The name of the village is often said to mean "home of the Anos or Aningas". Another explanation is that it comes from the word "Hanjum" (corner). It is thought that Anjum's surroundings were once much more densely populated.
The terp of Anjum was set up on a then-existing marsh ridge and, in the course of time got bigger and bigger. The village frequently suffered floods. The All Saints' Flood (1570) claimed hundreds of victims, and the Christmas flood of 1717 drowned 53.
From 1913 to 1935 Anjum was the terminus of the North Friesland Railway. The line reopened in May 1940 and closed in July 1942. The station building still stands.
