Langarus (Greek: Λάγγαρος; died 335 BC), king of the Agrianians, was a contemporary of Alexander the Great (336–323 BC), with whom he ingratiated himself even before the death of Philip II, previous king of Macedon. Langarus rendered Alexander important services during Alexander's expedition against the Illyrians and Taulantians shortly after his accession, when the Autariatae were preparing to attack him on his march. Langarus invaded their territory, preventing them from carrying their purpose into effect. Alexander conferred on him the most distinguished marks of his favour and promised him his half-sister Cynane in marriage, but Langarus died soon after his return home.[1]

Sikh Society's Guru Ka Langar (UCL)
Transcription
Guru ka langar is basically just a kind of free food for all regardless of caste, colour, creed, sex, anything. It's a great way to kind of just put the principles of equality, sharing what you have with others and just kind of seeing the best in all. So here we are, sharing what we have with everyone at UCL. And hopefully everyone enjoys it. >> This idea is so cool with the carpets and things and the food's been amazing. >> It's quite interesting about the significance of all of it and yeah, the food's pretty good. >> It's so nice seeing everyone from across the university just coming and sitting together and sharing a meal.
