dated:10.08.2012
Dear Raghuvanshies of Dobhi and Katehar,
Last to last june on the 28th I set the ball moving in my house at Kamachha Varanasi for  the American concept of Hall of Fame for generally in the sports field,recalling famous Raghuvanshies after our decline in Ayodhya in 1194 AD and migration to Varanasi and sorting out in Jaunpur and Varanasi in it's two parganas,abovenamed.
On the last occasion,the topic was of mostly installing a new President,dethroning me because of ire of Lal Bahadur Singh and of Avnender when at Lalitpur,which was yet more vivid during his short visit on the 28th to the meeting in my house,by his body-language.He did not eat his lunch either and left abruptly,murmurring some incoherent sentences.However the tablet of the Hall of Fame was ready and a photograph available of the same in the meeting,released to press and all.
The automatic choice of the contenders to the list of the Hall of Fame was as follows.
Maharaj Nain Deo,Deo Kunwar of Deoryee,Baba Pukar Rai of Niyar,Ganesh Rai,Rai Khemraj Singh,Rai Chan Singhjudeo of Kaithi and Bayalasee,Madan Chand,Sees Chand,Dyuman Deo of Kaithi,Chandravati and Laxamangarh,Jag Lal Singh alias Hazari Singh of Hyderabad fame,Deep Narain Singh alias Bachcha Singh of Varanasi Gazeteer, JayPal Singh alias Puroshottam Singh the !857 warrior,MahaYogi Bharat Singh of Kaithi, Ram Rup Singh,Rai Saheb(Answer to the prayers of Sees Chand to equal his famous cousin,in power and pelf,in the entire twentieth century),Rishabh Deo Singh,the nobility who rebelled in the August revolution of 1942,and was duly jailed by the Brits,Acharya Birbal Singh of Koyeeliari,dobhi,Shiv Shankar Singh of Rampur,(Member of Imperial Council in Lucknow),Batuk Singh the then PM's favourite civil servant,Dr. R.U. Singh of LKO. who wrote the Nepalese constitution(of Bodsar,Dobhi)Prof. Rudra Dutt Singh of Cornell University,and his nominee to the World Bank Sri Nath Singh of Marikpur,father of famous media-person Pradeep Raghuvanshi.
the list shall remain incomplete without full info of  Aiarrey(aayer)Jagdishpur's names for this list.
Sincerely Suresh Pratap Singh
short duration President of Raghuvansh:Sansathanam,who would have inheritted this Hall to themselves,otherwise in case I had continued to finish my three years term without rancour and in-fighting.
Now they should watch their steps for scathing comments from me in this and other blogs.

Varanasi,dateline:Janmashtami Day 2012.

Re :Raghuvansha Sansathanam:Niyar deeh and the sordid affair of monetary greed on the 27th of july,2012.

Avenender promoted himself as President,without m term of three years being over,Jagdish remained Vice,while the Dobhee was well represented as Vinod Hardasipur got promoted as the vice of President,while Lal Bahadur lost control in everyway of money and his lifeline too.Admitted in ICU of a city Hospital,Ram Lochan pushed out of Treasurer's job and bodily,too.There were fisty-cuffs in Niyar,luckily away from Pukar Rai's famous Chabutara,in Shivaji's house,as I was being told minute to minute happenings on the mobile phone by Boys from Kaithi,who were witnessing my dethroning due greed for two lakhs of indian rupees.I had over-ruled this meeting in the meeting in Niyar n th 22nd of july,but no one cared.

Is this Institution worth joining?

Sincerely Suresh Pratap Singh,Kaithi.

4.04.2011 Vinayaka,Varanasi Dear Friends, Elated by the success of Holi-Milan gatherings for last three years in Niyar-deeh of Baba Pukar Rai,I was instrumental to galvanize a gathering at the victory spot of his grand-father Deo Kunwar of Deorayee,in order to crystalize the dream of his descendant Sri Raghvendra Pratap Singh,towards erecting a equestrian statue of his direct linear ancestor,on every Ram Navami Day in Deorayee,situate 5kms from Modhailla turning after Danganj Bazar,I am offering the Raghuvanshies of all hue(including descendants of Lav,from Lahore,and spread in west UP,as sons of Raja Pratap Singh,a nephew of Prithviraj Chauhan)taking care of both the wings of the warring Kings,which saw the end of the Hindu kingdom on this sub continent,to com to my house in Varanasi(easier than going to Kaithi),at R.M.House,in Vinayaka,Kamachha.Phone:0542-2361159.Mob.:919935398306,and gather together,to here my story of migration from Ayodhya to Deorayee,to Niyar to Dharauhara to Kaithi to Vinayaka-Varanasi,to Mumbai. I will try to send as many emails as possible plus letters copied from this blog,but pl. do inculcate a habit to read my blogs regularly auf weiterzehn. Sincerely yours Raghuvanshy brother Suresh Pratap Singh Tenant and Cultivator of Kaithi & a Chartered Engineer of London

Deo Kunwar,our proper historical hero

Our common,proven ancestor,thoroughly heroic but woefully neglected:Deo Kunwar.

Deo Kunwar came to Deorayee in 1380 samvat.One new version claims Nain Deo as his father and Nangayee Rao as his brother Devan Rai’s son,while the other son having gone away to Kashmir,known as None Rao,whom I attributed to having developed a dynasty coming down to Dr. Karan Singh of Kashmir,as something to please Dr. Karan Singh,thity-five years ago,after coming in contact with him for sometime
However the duo of the uncle and the nephew stay put in Deorayee.Nangayee Rao fathered Gang deo who settled Gangpatti or Chhoti Deorayee.
In Deorayee Deo Kunwar fathered Bhuj Rai and Birhaj Rai.
Bhuj Rai had six sons: Keel Rai,Randhir,Barmal,Kuber,Keval(Bole Rai) and Thakurayee.
Keel Rai being the eldest inherited Deorayee and fathered Dhundiraj and Daman Singh.
Dhundiraj fathered Narain,Guru Baksh and Shiv Baksh,in Deorayee,at the same time enjoying the proceeds of Village Parapati with Daman Singh’s descendent’s.
The fifth son Keval Rai or Bole Rai married three maidens,which led to birth of Ganesh Rai in the forth generation.Ganesh Rai had two sons who were prolific and produced twelve sons,which was equaled on his own by our own Baba Pukar Rai,through tthree maidens of Balrampur estate.
This seems to be the reason for giving Ganesh Rai credit for settling Dobhi,which must have been an original paragana of the Gharwar Kings and later the jagir of the Nawabs of Avadh:96 paraganas.Today it is not so and in new administrative disposition Deorayee is in erstwhile Rai Chan Singh’s Bayalisee.
This is for the fact that the folklore goes that Raja Banar gave away two paraganas to the Raghuvanshi Raja of Ayodhya as in dowry,viz.:Dobhi and Katehar.
So quite clearly,if you draw a chart of Deo Kunwar’s genealogical descendents Ganesh Rai was not a first cousin of Pukar Rai.Pukar Rai was a son of Birhaj Rai or a direct grandson of Deo Kunwar and Ganesh Rai ,a great,great,great grandson of Bhuj Rai who was also a son of Deo Rai(Kunwar),but directly connected.
So who is closer to Deo Kunwar? Would it be Pukar Rai or Ganesh Rai?Proximity of Dobhi to Deo Kunwar came about by way of shifting of the twelve sons of Pukar Rai all over the Pargana of Katehar,quite far away from Niyar and still further off from Deorayee.However the history book hailing them as Hindu Kings(mentioned in the Plebeians) mentions Doman Deo as ninth in descent from Deo Kunwar
So it is an unhappy situation that we have begun to celebrate only Pukar Rai’s glory and have unwittingly ignored the truly historical conqueror of deorayee,his own grand-father.By correcting ourselves,say by going to Deorayee,every Ram-Navmi Day,we can pay our humble obeisance to the mighty Raghuvanshy Prince,responsible for our settlement in Dobhi and Katehar,far away from Ashtha-chakra Ayodhya.
Let me also correct the divisive minds amongst us that Deo Kunwar belongs to Dobhi.He belongs equally to both Dobhi and Katehar as well as to Bayalisee.
Let us resolve to raise a monument to the first historical figure of the Raghuvanshies in migration,on whose might and efforts we overcame all the perils of survival and multiplied in tens of thousands over the generations,in Varanasi and Jaunpur.He deserves to be celebrated with jest and exuberance from all of us.

Rai Chan Singh Guest House for both relatives &meek

To
Her Excellency Srimati Pratibha Devi Singh Patil
Hon’ble President of India

In the matter of introduction to a new chapter in the Panchayati Raj Act,a panacea for the widows,destitutes and the discarded,being fleeced of whatever little help is said to be provided as pension etc.

In thinking of Raghuvanshy descendants,I may have hit on the right note of succour for the week and the ailing.Surprisingly no one thought of an infrastructure instead all advocated cash(that could be embezzled by one and all).

PRAYER
The initiative should be from the P.M.,with directives to the State Govts.for amendments in the PRAct.

“Baba Pukar Rai,Rai Khemraj Singh - Rai Chan Singh – Memorial - Guest House for the disabled and the meek,on Rai Chan Singh premises adjacent to Hall of Fame at Kaithi”
Eversince addressing the then Tourism Minister(GoI) about opening the doors of the House of the 1857-martyr Jaipal Singh of Kaithi,Katehar,for the tourist and the inquisitive,I have weighed the pros and cons for a solution for a resting place for the visitors to the martyr’s home,as well as to the projected Hall of Fame for the Raghuvanshies after their migration from Ayodhya,around 1194 AD.It has been also painful and ludicrous to see my own elder brother leaving my house,after midnight for the comforts and amenities provided by Sri Vijay Bahadur Singh and Asha at 1 C Beli Road in far away Allahabad.There is a definite need for suitable accommodation for the likes of our long lost pattidars like Dr.Karan Singh of Kashmir(likely a descendant of None Rao).
2.So,I think I can provide a big enough plot of land to build a multi-storey Guest House(which I have offered to Sri Avinash Awasthi,recently on NH29,as well,but on the Highway) for our own people rich and famous as well as the meek and poor like the two widows in the household of late Rajaram harijan-rickshawwallah,going without meals and medicines,so much so that a relative had to be called to take away his sister.This could be a unique combination of a private guest house,made more useful by doubling-up as a shelter Home for the the sick and the ailing,the destitutes and the poor,of the village and nearby surrounding areas,like,Bhandahan,Rajwari,Dharauhara,Tanda,Kusanhi ,Patna and Kharauna etc.,so that they do not starve like Rajaram’s widow and daughter-in-law.
3.Would it be pugnacious on my part,to talk about funds at this stage?It is harsh reality as I failed to proceed on my mission of world conquest,even after signing-on 6.12.2008,owing to severe inflation and general recession in the global meltdown,sinking cargo traffic drastically.Ship capacity went largely unutilized as freight rates fell.My last hurrah too fell flat on the face and I could not revive it for next one year,so severe was the tempest.300 ships were broken down and so was I.However,I have not given up yet.I will go the Mahamana way and ask for big and small donors to come forward,as well as the State and the Central Govts. to make use of my zeal and make the Guest House idea work in earnest and in real.In fact the Panchayati Raj Act can be strengthened by suitably amendind the same to ask Gram-Pradhans to initiate and institute such schemes,in large hamlets,around the State and also countrywise,so that people in their charge do not starve of food and medicines.Let them provide,like the welfare States do an Elephant’s graveyard for the old and the lonely like in Sweden,for them to be looked after till they breathe their last.
4.Let us the Raghuvanshies give the governments a start by helping me build the abovementione guest house to honour Baba Pukar Rai and Rai Chan Singh on the very spot where he was left by his father Rai Khemraj Singh,in 1465 AD and is lived in for last 22 generations till date,to find a piece for prosperity of the entire village and surrounding area to house not only our rich siblings and relatives,but along side the destitutes ,the poor and the meek,for they shall inherit the earth.

Need of a Check Dam befor confluence of Gomti at Kaithi.

11.01.2010

To
Bahen Mayawati,
Hon’ble Chief Minster of Uttar Pradesh
5,Kalidas Marg,Lucknow-226001


Respected Bahenji,

Reg.: “ Baba Saheb,Bhole-Baba Check-Dam at Gomti in Kaithi “

Vis-à-vis the proposed expansion of 217Kms NH29 in four lanes
Expressway ,as reported by the media, with Japnese Help.

And my request to DG UPSTDC to include Kaithi(Markandey),on
tourist destination for those traveling on this fast road,by upgrading
the existing Link-road from Km.27(from Varanasi) through Kaithi
village and Bazar on to the temple of Markandey Mahadeo and the
rivers Gomti and Ganga confluence,through the motorable-top of
Check-Dam on to the existing old Settlement(1882-84) road to vill
Patna of Ghazipur to the end of the old and now defunct SH29,
Opposite vill.Gopalpur of Ghazipur,which will also serve as the
Starting point of the detour traffic from the northern-end.

I have not spoken to the DG UPSTDC about the possibility of the Check-Dam,but it was liked by Sri D.S.Bagga,the then Chief Secretary.And since then I am regularly pleading with Sri Dina nath Pandey,who would be taking up with concerned Secrtary,some day.
The utility of the check-dam will be in storing Gomti water for summers and help produce a Zayad crop in the riverine belt of 1000acres in the area,producing pulses and oil seeds in abundance,along with,barley,gram and wheat at an average of 17mds to a bigha,which is not being done since 7th Sept. 1980,after the change of course of river Gomti,then ,disintegrating our prime agricultural holding towards Ghazipur in one go.
Riverine belts generally depend upon getting flooded during monsoon and utilizing the fresh soil and moisture post innundation for producing a good Rabi crop bringing about prosperity to the farmers of one crop a year,since time immemorial.The Baba Saheb – Bhole Baba Check dam on the Gomti just before it’s confluence could change the scenario for ever and year round cultivation would result giving abundance of pulses and then thanks to your foresight,we will be without a care of black marketing and hoarding of the Arhar dal,besides selling the surplus for other fellow citizens use.Just give us the Check –Dam and the entire area will prosper and all will be grateful to you,forever.And surely MLA Deenanath Pandey,alias Hosa Maharaj will be elected again and again ,whether or not he forwards my applications in the matter to you.
2.This is the right moment to crystallize and capitalize on my suggestions to your Government,decades ago, and a huge populace of the entire neighborhood of few hundred villages are bound to memorize the Jayaka Budhhist Highway Foundation’s name,along with that of Baba Saheb and Bahen Mayawati’s name,all their lives.Politically,you will become a force to reckon with for many more elections of the future,in Ghazipur and Varanasi.The name is very apt immortalizing Baba Saheb in the category of Bhole Baba – the Markandey Mahadeo of vill. Kaithi.
For this to happen the Govt. and your own Secretariat has to co-ordinate with Director General UP State Tourism Corporation,Sri Awanish Kumar Awasthi,who knows the place and location well,having been in charge of the district a decade ago.
You have another ex-DM of Varanasi as Principal Secretary,who was responsible for issue of a GO on my request to declare the Blue bull as a species of the deer family,having nothing to do with the holy cows of the Hindus and that they could be shot and killed without being apprehended by the local police.But neither my pleadings to Sri Rajnath Singh nor his letter to you from Krishi Bhavan,or the efforts of Kunwar Fateh Bahdur could stop the menace of the Blue bull.And we are suffering equally from the slings and arrows of the Record Operation unit in Ballia and the galloping destruction of the blue bull for last thirty years,so much so that people like me had to come out of retirement after twenty years to go to work in the town to make both ends meet.So I shall be always driven to strive for resurrection from the two above mentioned disasters.I hope I do not have to go to sea,yet,again and your Secretaries will give me an opportunity to elaborate on my suggestions to you and to DG UPSTDC,for the above to really happen,for which we all shall be,forever, grateful to you and your Government.

Yours Obediently
