My Ancestral History • Kunal Singh

# My Ancestral History

My ancestors were from Baiswara, it is a subregion of Awadh in Uttar Pradesh, India, which includes parts of Unnao and Raebareli districts. Baiswara got its name because Bais Rajputs dominated this area. This is the Rajput Clan i belong to.

It was a Mughal state, then an independent kingdom ruled by Bais Rajput King Maharaja Rao Ram Baksh Singh. Finally, it came under British control after annexation by the British in 1856. The king participated in the 1858 revolt against the British. He was one of the leaders of the Sepoy Mutiny and a close associate of Nana Sahib. He was hanged by the British on 28 December 1857 for taking part in the revolt and being found guilty of killing British soldiers.

My ancestors migrated to Bihar due to the Mughal atrocities they faced. With this movement and re-establishment, only ancestors who were in Bihar are known to us. For more than 200-300 years, we have been living in Bihar. The first establishment was in Khajuri Village in Saran District, where we were engaged in large-scale farming. Then we moved to Usri Paharpur village after selling our land, due to the mafia raj there. Since then, farming has not been a major area of occupation.
