'''Jyotirao Govindrao Phule''' ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]:ज्योतिराव गोविंदराव फुले) ([[April 11]], [[1827]] — [[November 28]], [[1890]]), also known as '''Mahatma Jyotiba Phule''' was an [[activist]], [[thinker]], [[social reformer]] and [[revolutionary]] from [[Maharashtra]] in the nineteenth century. His remarkable influence was apparent in fields like education, agriculture, caste system, women and widow upliftment and removal of untouchability. He is most known for his efforts to educate women and the lower castes. He, after educating his wife, opened the first school for girls in [[India]] in August 1848.


This '''list of tallest buildings in Seattle''' ranks [[skyscraper]]s in the [[United States|U.S.]] city of [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]], [[Washington]] by height. The tallest building in Seattle is the 76-[[Storey|story]] [[Columbia Center]], which rises {{convert|937|ft|m|0}} and was completed in 1985.<ref name="columbia emp">{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=columbiacenter-seattle-wa-usa|title=Columbia Center|accessdate=2007-10-27|publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref> It is currently the [[List of tallest buildings in the United States|19th-tallest building]] in the United States, and the tallest building in the state of Washington. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city and the state is the [[Washington Mutual Tower]], which rises {{convert|772|ft|m|0}}.<ref name="WAMU emp">{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=washingtonmutualtower-seattle-wa-usa|title=Washington Mutual Tower|accessdate=2007-10-27|publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref> Nineteen of the twenty tallest buildings in Washington are located in Seattle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?36971376|title=Diagram of Washington skyscrapers|accessdate=2008-04-02|publisher=Skyscraperpage.com}}</ref>
In September, 1873, Jyotirao, along with his followers, formed the [[Satyashodhak Samaj|Satya Shodhak Samaj]] (Society of Seekers of Truth) with Jyotirao as its first president and treasurer. The main objective of the organisation was to liberate the Shudras and Ati-Shudras and to prevent their 'exploitation' by the Brahmins. For his fight to attain equal rights for peasants and the lower caste and his contribution to the field of education he is regarded as one of the most important figure in [[Social Reform Movement in Maharashtra]].


The history of skyscrapers in Seattle began with the 1904 completion of the [[Alaska Building]], which is often regarded as the first steel-framed skyscraper in the city;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=1975|title=Alaska Building, Seattle's first steel-framed skyscraper, is completed in 1904.|accessdate=2008-05-02|publisher=HistoryLink.org}}</ref> it rises 14 floors and {{convert|203|ft|m|0}} in height.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=streetalaskabuilding-seattle-wa-usa|title=Alaska Building|accessdate=2008-05-02|publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref> Seattle went through a large construction boom in the late 1970s and 1980s, resulting in the construction of 15 of the city's 20 tallest buildings, including Columbia Center and the Washington Mutual Tower. Seattle entered into another high-rise construction boom in 2000, and has since seen the completion of two buildings that stand at least {{convert|500|ft|m|0}} in height. Based on 12 skyscrapers{{ref label|note01|A|^}} at least {{convert|500|ft|m|0}} tall, and two more under construction, Seattle's skyline is ranked first in the [[Northwestern United States]], third on the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] (after [[List of tallest buildings in Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] and [[List of tallest buildings in San Francisco|San Francisco]]) and eleventh in the United States.{{ref label|note02|B|^}}
==Early life==
Jyotirao (Jyothirao)Govindrao Phule was born in [[Satara]] district of Maharastra in a family belonging to Mali caste, an inferior caste. His father, Govindrao, was a vegetable vendor, and his mother died when he was 9 months old. After completing his primary education, Jyotirao had to leave the school and help his father by working on the family's farm. He was married at the age of 12. His intelligence was recognised by a Muslim and a Christian neighbor, who persuaded his father to allow Jyotirao to attend the local Scottish Mission's High School, which he completed in 1847. The turning point in Jyotiba's life was in year 1848, when he was insulted by family members of his friend, a bridegroom for his participation in the marriage procession, an auspicious occasion. Jyotiba was suddenly facing the divide created by the caste system.<ref>[http://www.bhagwanvalmiki.com/savitribai.htm Savitri Bai Phule<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Influenced by Thomas Paine books ''Rights of'', Phule developed a keen sense of social justice, becoming passionately critical of the [[Indian caste system]]. He argued that education of women and the lower castes was a vital priority in addressing social inequalities.


[[As of May 2008]], there are 204 completed high-rises in the city, and 63 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction,<ref name="high-rises">{{cite web |url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/bu/sk/?id=101046 |title=High Rise Buildings of Seattle |accessdate=2008-04-01 |publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref> including 22 buildings over {{convert|400|ft|m|0}}. The tallest building under construction in the city is the [[Fifth and Columbia Tower]]. The building, set to be completed by 2011, would rise 43 floors and {{convert|660|ft|m|0}} in height.<ref name="fifth columbia emp">{{Cite web |title=Fifth and Columbia Tower |url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=5andcolumbiatower-toronto-canada |publisher=Emporis.com |accessdate=2008-02-15}}</ref>
== Satyashodhak Samaj ==
On 24 September 1874, Jyotirao formed 'Satya Shodhak Samaj' (Society of Seekers of Truth) with himself as its first president and treasurer. The main objectives of the organisation were to liberate the [[Shudra|Shudras]] and [[Ati Shudra|Ati Shudras]] and to prevent their 'exploitation' by the [[Brahmins]]. Through this SatyaShodhak Samaj, Jyotirao refused to regard the Vedas as sacrosanct. He opposed idolatry and denounced the chaturvarnya system (the caste system). SatyaShodhak Samaj propounded the spread of rational thinking and rejected the need for a Brahman priestly class as educational and religious leaders.


__TOC__
=== Pillars ===
When Phule established the SatyaShodhak Samaj, Savitribai became the head of the women's section which included ninety female members. Moreover, she worked tirelessly as a school teacher for girls. Deenbandhu publication, the mouthpiece of the Satya Shodhak Samaj, played an important role in SatyaShodhak Samaj’s movement. After Jyotiba's death in 1890 his spirited followers went on spreading the movement to the remotest parts of Maharashtra. [[Shahu Maharaj]], the ruler of Kolhapur princely state, gave a lot of financial and moral support to Satya Shodhak Samaj. In its new incarnation as non-brahmin party carried on the work of superstition removal vigorously.


{{Wide image|Wiki seattle alki 01.jpg|800px|<center>Skyline of Seattle</center>}}
=== Beliefs ===
Jyotiba firmly believed that if you want to create a new social system based on freedom, equality, brotherhood, human dignity, economic justice and value devoid of exploitation, you will have to overthrow the old, unequal and exploitative social system and the values on which it is based. Knowing this well, Jotiba attacked blind faith and faith in what is given in religious books and the so-called god's words. He tore to pieces the misleading myths that were ruling over the minds of women, shudras and ati-shudras. Yielding to god or fate, astrology and other such rubbish rituals, sacredness, god-men, etc. was deemed irrational and absurd. {{Fact|date=September 2008}}


== Tallest buildings ==
He also led campaigns to remove the economic and social handicaps that breed blind faith among women, shudras and ati-shudras. Jyotiba subjected religious texts and religious behavior to the tests of rationalism. He characterised this faith as outwardly religious but in essence politically motivated movements. He accused them of upholding the teachings of religion and refusing to rationally analyse religious teachings. He maintained that at the root of all calamities was the blind faith that religious books were created or inspired by god. Therefore, Phule wanted to abolish this blind faith in the first instance. All established religious and priestly classes find this blind faith useful for their purposes and they try their best to defend it. He questions " if there is only one God, who created the whole mankind, why did he write the Vedas only in Sanskrit language despite his anxiety for the welfare of the whole mankind? What about the welfare of those who do not understand this language?" Phule concludes that it is untenable to say that religious texts were God-created. To believe so is only ignorance and prejudice. All religions and their religious texts are man-made and they represent the selfish interest of the classes, which are trying to pursue and protect their selfish ends by constructing such books. Phule was the only sociologist and humanist in his time that could put forth such bold ideas. In his view, every religious book is a product of its time and the truths it contains have no permanent and universal validity. Again these texts can never be free from the prejudices and the selfishness of the authors of such books.{{Fact|date=September 2008}}


[[Image:Columbia center from smith tower.jpg|thumb|right|upright|[[Columbia Center]], Seattle's tallest building]]
Phule believed in overthrowing the social system in which man has been deliberately made dependent on others, illiterate, ignorant and poor, with a view to exploiting him. To him blind faith eradication formed part of a broad socioeconomic transformation. This was his strategy for ending exploitation of human beings. Mere advice, education and alternative ways of living are not enough, unless the economic framework of exploitation comes to an end.{{Fact|date=September 2008}}

This list ranks Seattle skyscrapers that stand at least {{convert|400|ft|m|0}} tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. Freestanding observation [[tower]]s, while not habitable buildings, are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked.
=== Merger into Congress party ===
After Jotiba's death in 1890, there was a period of lull, when the flame lit by Jyotiba waned. The SatyaShodhak Samaj movement was totally a social movement and nothing to do with the politics, but the members of SatyaShodhak Samaj dissolved SatyaShodhak Samaj and merged it with Congress party in 1930.

== Tallest under construction, approved and proposed ==
Mahatma Phule had a favourable opinion about the British Rule in India at least from the point of view of introducing modern notions of justice and equality in Indian society and taking India into the future. He was however a Hindu. His ''akhandas'' were based on the ''abhangs'' of Hindu saint [[Tukaram]].<ref> ''Culture And The Making Of Identity In Contemporary India'' By Kamala Ganesh, Usha Thakkar </ref> He believed that his teachings were the same of the Bhakti (without the racism) <ref> [http://www.sainistar.com/index.php/content_types/demography/mali_saini MALI / SAINI COMMUNITY AND BHAKTI(DEVOTION) MOVEMENT IN INDIA] </ref> His own hero was Chhatrapati Shivaji, whom he connected to backward-caste heritage.

He believed that the true inhabitants of Bharat are the [[Astik]].<ref> P. 13 "Positive discrimination and the transformation of caste in India" By Christophe Jaffrelot</ref> He also believed that the Brahmins were outsiders to Hinduism.

==Social activism==

He was assisted in his work by his wife, [[Savitribai Phule]], and together they started the first school for girls in [[India]] in 1848, for which he was forced to leave his home. He initiated widow-remarriage and started a home for upper caste widows in 1854, as well as a home for new-born infants to prevent [[female infanticide]]. Phule tried to eliminate the stigma of social [[Untouchability]] surrounding the lower castes by opening his house and the use of his water-well to the members of the lower castes.

Skyline of Seattle

This list of tallest buildings in Seattle ranks skyscrapers in the U.S. city of Seattle, Washington by height. The tallest building in Seattle is the 76-story Columbia Center, which rises 937 feet (286 m) and was completed in 1985.[1] It is currently the 19th-tallest building in the United States, and the tallest building in the state of Washington. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city and the state is the Washington Mutual Tower, which rises 772 feet (235 m).[2] Nineteen of the twenty tallest buildings in Washington are located in Seattle.[3]

The history of skyscrapers in Seattle began with the 1904 completion of the Alaska Building, which is often regarded as the first steel-framed skyscraper in the city;[4] it rises 14 floors and 203 feet (62 m) in height.[5] Seattle went through a large construction boom in the late 1970s and 1980s, resulting in the construction of 15 of the city's 20 tallest buildings, including Columbia Center and the Washington Mutual Tower. Seattle entered into another high-rise construction boom in 2000, and has since seen the completion of two buildings that stand at least 500 feet (152 m) in height. Based on 12 skyscrapers[A] at least 500 feet (152 m) tall, and two more under construction, Seattle's skyline is ranked first in the Northwestern United States, third on the West Coast (after Los Angeles and San Francisco) and eleventh in the United States.[B]

As of May 2008, there are 204 completed high-rises in the city, and 63 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction,[6] including 22 buildings over 400 feet (122 m). The tallest building under construction in the city is the Fifth and Columbia Tower. The building, set to be completed by 2011, would rise 43 floors and 660 feet (201 m) in height.[7]
