Banjara
The Banjara are nomadic tribes found in India. Etymology The Gor usually refer to themselves as ''Banjaras'' and outsiders as ''Kor'', but this usage does not extend outside their own community. A related usage is ''Gor Mati'' or ''Gormati'', meaning "own people". Motiraj Rathod believes that the community became known as ''banjara'' from around the fourteenth century AD and previously had some association with the ''Laman'', who claim a 3,000-year history. Irfan Habib believes the origin of ''banjara'' lies in the Sanskrit word variously rendered as ''vanij'', ''vanik'', and ''banik'', as does the name of the Bania caste, which historically was India's "pre-eminent" trading community. However, according to B. G. Halbar, the word ''banjara'' is derived from the Sanskrit ''vana chara''. The group is known by different names in different parts of the country, including Gor Banjara, Baladiya, Gor, Gour Rajput, Rajput Banjara, Ladaniya, Labana, Nayak, etc. Despite the community ...

Long Play
The LP (from long playing or long play) is an analog sound storage medium, specifically a phonograph record format characterized by: a speed of rpm; a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter; use of the "microgroove" groove specification; and a vinyl (a copolymer of vinyl chloride acetate) composition disk. Introduced by Columbia Records in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire US record industry and, apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound in 1957, it remained the standard format for record albums during a period in popular music known as the album era. LP was originally a trademark of Columbia and competed against the smaller 7-inch sized "45" or "single" format by RCA Victor, eventually ending up on top. Today in the vinyl revival era, a large majority of records are based on the LP format and hence the LP name continues to be in use today to refer to new records. Format advantages At th ...
