what historians have known about us:-

इतिहासकारों ने भी हमारे बारे में काफी कुछ कहा है जिस के बारे में हममेंसे ज्यादातर लोग अनभिज्ञ  हैं . प्रस्तुत है कुछ ऐतिहासिक तथ्य :-

• Aristotle : In the year 331 B.C. Aristotle visited India and wrote that now the ideas about castes and professions, which have been prevelant from a long time, are gradually dying out, and the Brahmins, neglecting their education.......... live by cultivating the land and acquiring the territorial possessions, which is the duty of Kshatriyas." If things go on in the way, then instead of being(Vidyapati) i.e master of learning, they will become(Bhumipati) i.e master of land."

• Fahian: In the year 399 A.D. Fahian came to India and he wrote "The Brahmins having given up asceticism........... are ruling here and there in the place of Kshatriya and are called Sang he Kang ( land-seizer)."The land-sezier word indicate Bhumihar Brahmins.
• Dr. Wilson: Dr. Wilson in his book "Indian castes" part II page 134 has decribed The Mohiyal( synonym of Bhumihar Brahmin) as mentioned below:
  Saraswat Brahmins: Another class of the character refers to is that of the Moyals or movals. They are extensively scatterd over the Punjab.
  Taga(Tyagi) Brahmins of the Punjab are generally cultivators. They belong to the Gauda division of the Brahmin-hood. They care little about religious rites of any kind..... They are found principally on the banks of the Saraswati, near Thanser, some of the less pure agriculture Brahmin of these villages are called Taga of Gauda Tagas. (Tyagi is the synonym for Bhumihar Brahmin).
• Mr. Crook: Mr. Crook in his book "The Tribes and castes of UP and Oudh" part II, page 64 has written----
  Bhumihar(Sanskrit Bhumi and Kara(har) 'maker'): An important tribe and landowners and agriculturists in eastern districts. They are also known as Babhan, Zamindar Brahmin, Grihastha Brahman or Pachchima or "Western Brahmin".
• Sir Elliot: According to Sir Elliot's supplemental glossary, there are five divisions of the Kamkoobj Brahmins. They are Kamkoobj proper, Sunadh, Surwaria, Jijhotia and Bhoinhar.

Mr. William Oldham: Mr. William Oldham in his book "NORTH WESTERN PROVINCES HISTORTICAL AND STATICAL MEMOIR" has categorically mentioned that Bhoinhars, both by themselves and by ethnologists, are belived to be the descendants of Brahmins, who on becoming cultivators and landholders gave up their priestly functions.

Maoists blamed for attack on school

Maoists blamed for attack on school

Maoist rebels in Bihar have attacked a school building, police says that about 200 rebels surrounded the school in Aurangabad district, and damaged parts of it using dynamite. There were no casualties. Separately, rebels in Orissa state have blown up a mobile phone tower and burnt buses, demanding the removal of security forces from the area.Maoist rebels are fighting for communist rule in many Indian states.More than 6,000 people have died during the rebels' 20-year fight.The Maoists accuse the government of using school buildings to house troops involved in anti-rebel operations.More than 40 schools have been attacked in the past year in Bihar and Jharkhand.Offensive plan

Human rights groups say tens of thousands of India's most marginalised children are having their education disrupted because of the conflict.Last month, the central government said it was ready to launch a massive offensive against the rebels.

The Maoists say they are willing to talk if the plan is suspended.Nearly 600 civilian have died in violence blamed on the Maoists January and August, according to official records.The insurgents wield most influence in areas which are poor and dominated by tribes people.They are also areas widely seen as being rich in mineral wealth which the Maoists say is being handed over to corporate firms while the poor remain deprived.

PARSHURAM TEMPLE located at Chiplun, Maharastra is unique in many senses. Certain facts are as under:-

Parshuram Temple, Chiplun, Maharashtra

Located near the Mumbai-Goa National Highway, the ancient Parshuram Temple is situated near the town of Chiplun. Famous for the 6th 'Avtaar' or incarnation of Vishnu, the temple is resplendent with fabulous architectural beauty, which incorporates both the Hindu and Muslim styles of architecture.

Steps from the Ghat lead straight to the temple premises. The main temple structure is surrounded by stone walls and houses three elaborate idols inside the temple. It was built around 300 years ago by Brahmendra Swami. It is believed that since Parshuram created Konkan land, also known as Parshuram Bhumi, he is also automatically the presiding deity of the Konkan region.  

There is temple of Goddess Renuka behind the Parshuram Temple. It is believed that Parshuram’s powerful five arrows created the primary water source here, which officially goes by the name Bandganga Lake.

The houses from the Adilshah Period can also be seen in the region. The temple was constructed by the Portuguese and the funds for its construction were provided by Janjirekar & Siddhi. So, essentially, European, Hindu and Muslim styles of architecture are noticed in the construction work.

There are a number of NGOs working in Bihar but we have little information about them ie, what do they do to help us and can we help them? Here it is an small but sincere effort to acquint you with these NGOs.
