Parsagarh - Babu RajDev Prasad Narayan Singh and Sir Chandreshwar Prasad Narayan (CPN) Singh

As mentioned earlier about Parsagarh and the Zamindar Family being one of the oldest families of the district, it is my honour to bring to light one of the most eminent Zamindars of his era - Babu Rajdev Prasad Narayan Singh.  There were 5 pattis in Parsagarh and Babusaheb and Sir CPN Singh belonged to different Pattis. While Sir CPN Singh got great fame in various assignments for the country, Babu Rajdev Prasad Narayan Singh opened one of the better schools of the area - In Parsagarh, the school is named after the son of the soil - RA NA High School. His grandson, Shri Prakash Jee also served as a secretary of the school. Once again a Bhumihar Zamindar gave great leadership to society and to the people who formed a part of his Zamindari. It is our duty to not only respect such work but keep on taking such ideas forward - generation by generation.

Below is the photograph of Babu Rajdev Prasad Narayan Singh and one of his associates - Shri Ojha Jee.

In the near future, we hope to publish photos of the school as well as the GARH.

Eksaria Bhumihar Zamindars - Origin

By the end of the sixteenth (16th) century, the EKSARIA BHUMIHARS got a foothold in the erstwhile district of SARAN, Bihar. The pivotal person was JAGARNATH DIXIT, who settled in the village of EKSAR, by early sixteenth century. They managed to expand and hold out large territories but they could never form a unified lineage and thus lead to the formation of a "RAJ". Jagarnath Dixit's descendants were able to expand their territories as the state did not resist and there was abundance of male heirs.
The two youngest sons of Jagarnath moved to other parganas while the eldest two remained behind. The Eldest, SARAN RAI - on whose name SARAN District (present Chapra, Siwan and Gopalganj Districts) was named- had 4 sons - Each of whom formed villages and zamindaris. The second oldest son of Jagarnath had no issue.
SARAN RAI's descendants settled at different places and formed different zamindaris. The first son created the MAJHA line of zamindars, the second - NATH RAI - settled at PARSA and subsequently his descendants moved to CHAINPUR ZAMINDARI. The third son produced the lineage which resulted in the RUSI and KHAIRA ZAMINDARIS. The youngest became the pioneer for the BAGOURA Zamindari. Famously, they were known as the CHOU-BHAIYAS.
