सोमपाल शास्त्री जी को पत्र

सोमपाल शास्त्री जी नमस्ते। आशा है और ईश्वर से प्रार्थना है की आपका परिवार सकुशल है। आपसे कोविड के दिनों में बात हुई थी। मेरा गाँव कादीपुर देहली राजधानी क्षेत्र में है। बामनोली में मेरी ताऊ जी नारायण सिंह की बेटी राजेन्द्री देवी आपकी मामी जी थी। मैं पिछले 12-13 वर्ष से हरयाणा, पश्चिमी उत्तर प्रदेश व देहली क्षेत्र में आर्यसमाज के आगमन, प्रचार व प्रसार के बाद हमारी पिछड़ी जाट कौम में धार्मिक, शिक्षा, कृषि व पशु नस्ल सुधार व आधुनिकता आदि विषयों में जो जागृति आई उस पर खोज कर रहा हूँ। मेरा समय काल मुख्यतया 1857 के जन विद्रोह् से 1947 के मध्य का है। शोध के प्रेरणा स्रोत स्वर्गीय डाक्टर कृपाल चन्द्र यादव थे जिनसे आप भी भली भाँति परिचित थे। मेरा शोध मुख्यतया राष्ट्रीय अभिलेखागार नई दिल्ली, देहली सरकार अभिलेखागार कटवाड़िया सराय institutional area देहली, हरियाणा राज्य अभिलेखागार पंचकुला, गुरुकुल झज्जर, रोहतक जाट सभा द्वारा प्रकाशित "जाट गजट" समाचार पत्र (जिसके नीति संपादक चौधरी छोटू राम जी थे), डाक्टर रामजीलाल सांघी की Daily Diary (जो शायद सन् 1900 से लेकर 1943 तक है डाक्टर रामजीलाल लाला लाजपत राय के सहपाठी तथा श्री भूपेंद्र हुड्डा के दादा जी चौधरी मातुराम के चचेरे भाई थे) व हमारे पारिवारिक दस्तावेजों पर आधारित है। जाट गजट उर्दू भाषा में तथा डाक्टर रामजीलाल की डायरी अंग्रेजी व उर्दू भाषाओं में है। जाट गजट और डॉ रामजीलाल की डायरी जाट कौम के आधुनिक व समकालीन इतिहास का प्रमाणिक मुख्य स्रोत हँ। लेकिन उर्दू भाषा में होने के कारण शोध में बड़ी कठिनाई आती है और इनका उपयोग करते हुए अति कठिनाई का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। अगर इन अभिलेखों का हिंदी अनुवाद करवाने में कोई जाट संस्था मदद करदे तो जाट कौम के आधुनिक इतिहास पर शोध का flood gate खुल सकता है। इस सम्बन्ध में मैंने महाराजा सूरजमल ट्रस्ट में आपके भांजे श्री राजेंद्र कुमार जी व ट्रस्ट के अध्यक्ष श्री कप्तान सिंह जी से दो बार चर्चा की है और हर्ष के साथ आपको सूचित करता हूँ कि दोनों की सकरात्मक सोच है।परंतु आपके सहयोग के बिना इन दस्तावेजों का अनुवाद असम्भव सा है। In this regard I will earnestly request you with folded hands to use your good offices to take this matter to a positive conclusion. कुछ लेख आपको प्रेषित कर रहा हूँ। अगर आप पढ़ने का कष्ट करेंगे तो बड़ी मेहरबानी होगी। अगर कुछ सुझाव भी देंगें तो सोने पर सुहागा होगा। Virender Singh Rana KADIPUR

Vedik Sanskrit Jat High School Kheda Gadhi

Contribution of collegiate Jat students in the establishment of Vedik Sanskrit Jat High School Kheda Gadhi, Suba Delhi - Information culled out from the JAT GAZETTE Newspaper of 1920.

Dehli To-day I will try to place on record the names of the then college students of our community studying in various colleges at Delhi and Lahore and Agra from 1918 onwards who helped Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur in the establishment of Vedik Sanskrit Jat School Kheda Gadi in Suba Delhi.

Special mention of colleges such as St. Stephen's college and Ramjas college at Delhi and D. A. V. College and Dayal Singh College at Lahore may be made which undertook special efforts to admit and teach the Jat students and gave many facilities like free accommodation in their hostels and freeship to the poor Jat students of the educationally backward community. These college students, at the clarian call of Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur, did honorary (without any remuneration) teaching work and even did manual labour for the construction of class rooms at Vedik Sanskrit Jat School Kheda Gadhi, during their summer holidays. These students committed to the welfare of their educationally PICHHDI Jati. A few of these educated young heroes were

They are the real heroes and torch bearers of those days an of to-day too.

My eldest uncle Narain Singh, son of Chaudhary Bhim Singh Of village Kadipur (Qadipur) situated in Delhi district, joined Dyal Singh College Lahore in the year 1910 for English (Hons.) course after matriculation from Delhi. During his stay there Mr. Thadani was his Professor of English and mentor of student Narain Singh. Testimonials given by Professor Thadani n favour of Narain Singh are prized possession of his son (and my cusion) Vijay Pal Singh Kadipuri, an alumni of St. Stephen's College. Later on Professor Thadani joined prestigious Hindu College of Delhi University and rose to become its Principal.My uncle graduated in 1914 English (Hons.) In First Division.

CRZ High School Sonepat

Chottu Ram Zamindar (CRZ) High School Sonepat Group Photo

Namaste Ji. Thanks for providing subtle information about CRZ High School Sonipat. I was able to find out the contribution made by Chaudhary Tika Ram Mandaura, Chaudhary Hari Ram Chitana & Chaudhary Shadi Ram 'Yatri' Khevda in establishing first Vedik Sanskrit Jat Middle School Khera Garhi in 1920 and then upgrading it to High School under the able guidance of Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur who laid its foundation stone in September 1920 in the august presence of Sh. Anand Muni Ji (earlier Chaudhary Phul Singh of Shahbad Daulatpur Suba Delhi) Chaudhary Abhay Ram Mamoorpur (Narela), Chaudhary Risal Singh Pahadi Dhiraj Delhi, Chaudhary Tika Ram Mandaura and Chaudhary Hari Ram Chitana. Chaudhary Tika Ram & Chaudhary Hari Ram Chitana were college mates of St. Stephen's College Delhi. Eye witness account of foundation stone ceremony of the said institution is with me. At that time Chaudhary Tika Ram & Chaudhary Surajmal Khanda Kheri were pursuing Law degree from Lahore and Jat Boarding House Lahore was also coming up. Perhaps Chaudhary Ramji Lal Mandauri, (neighborhood village of Mandaura) father- In-law of my Bua Ji Smt. Shanti Devi (daughter of Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur) was also instruemental in helping Chaudhary Tika ram in opening educationa institutions in rural area of Tehsil Sonepat of district Rohtak. Chaudhary Ramji Lal also constructed a classroom in Jat School Kheda Garhi. Perhaps Chaudhary Karan Singh Rasoi was the first Headmaster of CRZ High School Sonepat. He was also Head of Normal School Karnal. A band of dedicated teachers of Vaedik Sanskrit Jat High School Kheda Garhi like Chaudhary Hari Ram Chitana, Chaudhary Dalel Singh Halalpur & Chaudhary Chet Ram Garhi (Kheda) offered their services for opening a Jat School at Sonepat. I found a file in National Archives of India, containing a Report of a Committee of University of Delhi comprising of Professos of Delhi University, which had given provisional permission to upgrade Vaedik Sanskrit Jat High School Kheda Garhi into an Intermediate College of Delhi University in 1930 due to the unrelenting efforts of Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur & Chaudhary Tika Ram Mandaura. But alas! that was not to be. Perhaps due to the internal bickrings and fighting nature of our Community ( in the words of Chaudhary Baldev Singh, first Headmaster of Jat School Rohtak) the dream of our forefathers to upgrade Jat School Kheda Garhi remained a distant dream. Chaudhary Hari Ram Chitana was instruemental in establishing Jat High School Rajlu Gadhi. Chaudhary Karan Singh Rasoi was instruemental in opening Rifai- Am Hailey High School at Narela. The land for the said was donated by the Jat farmers of Mamoorpur village under the able guidance of Chaudhary Abhay Ram (Municipal Commissioner) and Chaudhary Lumbardar Kanak Singh (father of Swami Omanand) Mamoorpur.

The said Group Photo of the staff of Chottu Ram Zamindar (CRZ) High School Sonepat posted perhaps by an ex-studentf CRZ High School Sonepat on Facebook is of which year, I do not know. Possibaly it is of 1980 decade. I was an alumni of the said august School from class VI to VIII from 1959 to 1962. We five cusions were hostelers. Chaudhary Dalel Singh Halalpur was Headmaster of the School. Chaudhary Sube Singh Lahdsauli was Superintendent of Junior Wing Hostel & Chaudhary Dalip Singh Gopalpur was Superintendent of the Senior Wing i. e. Birla (Bidla) Hostel. In the Junior Wing Hostel there was a corner room meant for the Prefect of the Hostel. That room was alloted to my cusion Shamsher Singh and me by Headmaster Sahib as he was brother of my Tai ji Shanti Devi from Halalpur. Incidently Headmaster Sahib passed Matriculation Examination from Vedik Sanskrit Jat High School Kheda Garhi Suba Dehli which was founded by my grandfather Chaudhary Bhim Singh Raes Kadipur in the year 1920. Headmaster Sahib graduated in B.Sc. stream from Ramjas College, University of Delhi. I am also a proud alumni of both the above educational institutions. Among prominent teachers of the Jat School Sonepat were Chaudhary Jialal & Chaudhary Sukhbir Singh Chitana, Chaudhary Dhajaram Jathedi, Chaudhary Daryao Singh & Chaudhary Dharam Singh Mandaura, Chaudhary Chetram Garhi (Kheda) Shri Jyotiram Gupta/ Agarwal to name a few. Sh. Jyotiram, perhaps from neighbouring village Fatehpur, used to teach Maths to our Section, a hard taskmaster in his own right & a terror to weak students like me in his subject. He was very fond of subjecting we weak students with physical punishment. Headmaster Sahib used to teach us English in VI class. He was also a terror no less than Jyotiram Ji. However as I was ' quite good' in English Subject, I never had a taste of corporal punishment, of which Headmaster Sahib was also very fond of. Chaudhary Sube Singh was quite considerate to the young students & popular too. There was our 'Punjabi' Drawing Master from Panipat and a Shastri Ji who used to teach us Punjabi (Gurmukhi) language. At that it was Punjab & hence Gurmukhi was compulsory. When I was in VIII Class a Sardar ji joined the School as a Gurmukhi teacher. He made strenuous & laborious efforts to teach Gurmukhi to my classmate cusion Shamsher Singh and me. With his commendable efforts I got through in Gurmukhi by securing 43 marks out of 100 in Middle School Board Examination. I forgot the names of my three Gurujis & hence my unconditional apologies. Their was lot attention towards studies as well as games & sports in the School. Headmaster Dalel Singh Halalpur was an Institution in himself. He was a great teacher as well as a thorough Administrator. अगर उनकी रहनुमाई ना होती तो शायद अनपढ़ ही रह जाता.

Coins left behind in 23 May 1871 dacoity

The coin shown in above photographs is an 1840 One Rupee silver coin issued by the East India Company during the reign of Queen Victoria. Struck in high-purity silver and designed according to the standardized British Indian currency system introduced in the nineteenth century. Recently the said coin, by chance, was found in a wall hide out in the Haveli of my grandfather Chaudhary Bhim Singh Kadipur while carrying out repairs. The front side of the coin carries the youthful portrait of Queen Victoria facing left, surrounded by the inscription 'VICTORIA QUEEN' a design commonly referred to as the “Young Head” portrait. She ascended the British throne in 1837. India was then governed by the East India Company and not by the British Crown. Appearance of Victoria’s portrait on Indian coinage was to reinforce British imperial authority. The reverse side of the coin features the words “ONE RUPEE” in English & Urdu. Placed at the center within an elegant wreath of laurel leaves, while the outer edge bears the inscription “EAST INDIA COMPANY” along with the year 1840 at the bottom. The laurel wreath symbolized victory, power, prestige, and authority of British Empire. The visible wear, scratches, dark toning, and smoothness seen on this particular example suggest that it remained in circulation for many years, yet important details such as the date, lettering, wreath, and outline of Queen Victoria’s portrait are still recognizable, allowing the coin to retain both its historical identity . Typically, coins of this type were struck in silver of approximately 91.7% purity, weighed around 11.66 grams (one tola) . Before Independence the weight measures were in Tola, chhtank, Seer & Mound. Incidentally a dacoity was committed in Kadipur Haveli of Lumbardar Ram Dyal Grandfather of Bhim Singh Kadipur on 23 May 1871. A First Information Report of dacoity of 16306 silver rupee coins was registered in Thana Alipur of North Delhi District against unknown persons. and as per weight measures 16306 coins weighed about 190 Kgs. The dacoiits mounted said booty on camels and carried away. Probably out of those coins, as luck would have it, this coin was left behind and found per chance.

ऊपर दर्शाए गए चित्रों में दिखाई देने वाला सिक्का सन् 1840 का एक रुपया चाँदी का सिक्का है, जिसे East India Company द्वारा महारानी Queen Victoria के शासनकाल में जारी किया गया था। यह सिक्का उच्च शुद्धता वाली चाँदी से निर्मित है तथा उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी में लागू की गई ब्रिटिश भारतीय मुद्रा प्रणाली के अनुसार ढाला गया था। हाल ही में यह सिक्का संयोगवश मेरे दादा चौधरी भीम सिंह कादीपुर की हवेली में मरम्मत कार्य के दौरान दीवार में बने एक गुप्त स्थान से प्राप्त हुआ। सिक्के के अग्र भाग पर महारानी विक्टोरिया का युवावस्था का बायें ओर मुख वाला चित्र अंकित है, जिसके चारों ओर “VICTORIA QUEEN” लिखा हुआ है। इस डिज़ाइन को सामान्यतः “यंग हेड” चित्र कहा जाता है। महारानी विक्टोरिया सन् 1837 में ब्रिटिश सिंहासन पर आसीन हुई थीं। उस समय भारत पर प्रत्यक्ष रूप से ब्रिटिश क्राउन का नहीं बल्कि ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी का शासन था। भारतीय सिक्कों पर विक्टोरिया का चित्र अंकित करना ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य की सत्ता और अधिकार को प्रदर्शित करने का माध्यम था। सिक्के के पिछले भाग पर “ONE RUPEE” अंग्रेज़ी एवं उर्दू में अंकित है, जो मध्य भाग में सुंदर लॉरेल पत्तियों की माला के भीतर स्थित है, जबकि बाहरी किनारे पर “EAST INDIA COMPANY” तथा नीचे सन् 1840 अंकित है। लॉरेल की यह माला ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य की विजय, शक्ति, प्रतिष्ठा और अधिकार का प्रतीक मानी जाती थी। इस विशेष सिक्के पर दिखाई देने वाले घिसाव, खरोंचें, काला पड़ जाना तथा चिकनापन यह दर्शाते हैं कि यह लंबे समय तक प्रचलन में रहा, फिर भी इसकी तिथि, लेखन, माला तथा महारानी विक्टोरिया की आकृति के प्रमुख चिन्ह आज भी स्पष्ट रूप से पहचाने जा सकते हैं, जिससे इसका ऐतिहासिक महत्व बना हुआ है। सामान्यतः इस प्रकार के सिक्के लगभग 91.7 प्रतिशत शुद्ध चाँदी के होते थे तथा उनका वजन लगभग 11.66 ग्राम अर्थात एक तोला होता था। स्वतंत्रता से पूर्व भारत में वजन की माप तोला, छटांक, सेर एवं मन में की जाती थी। संयोगवश 23 मई 1871 को लंबरदार राम दयाल, जो कि भीम सिंह कादीपुर के दादा थे, की कादीपुर हवेली में डकैती हुई थी। इस डकैती में 16,306 चाँदी के रुपयों की लूट के संबंध में तत्कालीन उत्तर दिल्ली जिले के थाना अलीपुर में अज्ञात व्यक्तियों के विरुद्ध प्रथम सूचना रिपोर्ट दर्ज की गई थी। वजन के अनुसार 16,306 चाँदी के सिक्कों का कुल भार लगभग 190 किलोग्राम था। डकैत इस भारी धनराशि को ऊँटों पर लादकर अपने साथ ले गए थे। संभवतः उन्हीं सिक्कों में से यह सिक्का किसी कारणवश वहीं छूट गया होगा और भाग्यवश अब जाकर प्राप्त हुआ।
