plebeians who would be kings

MAGNUM OPUS ON THE SURVIVAL OF
THE SUN – DYNASTY OF AYODHYA
FROM SEVEN MILLENNIUM B.C. TO 28.06.1952

Around the end of the twelfth century A.D., it became abundantly clear that living in Ayodhya wouldn’t be of any use for the descendants of Raghu – the first world conqueror – as per the great poet of Sanskrit, Kalidas, and of Sri Ram Chgandra, destroyer of the great demon of Shri Lanka-Ravana, to continue their existence there, and their great benefactor came in the form of the villainous Jai Chandra, the perpetuator of the Muslim on-slaught on his nephew and abductor of his daughter Sanyukta, the mighty warrioer Prithviraj Chauhan. Come to think of it, there could be no one in a better position to comprehend the outcome and future of the Indian Sub-Continent after his nexus with Muhammad Ghori, and as he was the ruler of all three Kannauj, Kashi and Ayodhya, he arranged for the displacement of the last Raghuvanshy king Nain Deo from Ayodhya to Varanasi in the thick jungle of pargana katehar, sixteen miles away from the township, where the sway of the invading Afgans and Mughals was eminent any time. Suitably he arranged for the betrothal of his grand-niece with Nain Deo. A bard had accompanied Nain Deo from Ayodhaya to Varanasi and his descendant Banshi Kavi recorded the births and deaths of the descendent of his erstwhile king in the form of a booklet which has recorded till Sees Chand the descendant of the king, five hundred years ago. And it was a pure chance that a genealogical table prepared in 1840 or so has been returned by the man who took it way by the force of
“Plebeians who would be Kings –
Reghuvanshies, why in Benares.”

“Plebeians who would be Kings”
History and myth of Raghuvanshies
- “Counting backwards from 1952
- to seven millennium B.C.”

- with a translation of Raghuvansha – Mahakavya.

2. Raghuvanshies in Benares
1207 A.D. onwards.
Plebeians who would be Kings.

3. Raghuvanshies in Ayodhya – from the beginning to the end – was it Ikshwaku to Sumitra? And was Nain Deo only a pretender to the throne” was he an imposter – posing as the last Raghuvanshi King of Ayodhya?
Habit and found it of no use written in “Baithauwa Urdu” undecipherable even by the Urdu-reading gentry on its final translation and recognizing the name of great – grand father’s father, it could be established that indeed it was the House of Sees Chand where we were born, and that it was also the 1st House of Katehar. Then by the process of reverse progression, beginning with last first born at the turn of the last century, it was possible to ascertain the years of the Raghuvanshy settlement in Kaithi and the year of the construction of the present day ‘Sees Chand Mansion’ lived in now for nearly twenty one generations without a break, which could have come once when the head of the 1st House entered in the plot to capture warren Hastings in Varanashi, headed by Raja Chait Singh with assembled force of local Zamindars of 34000 strong, next when Jaipal Singh joined the force of Kunwar Singh of Arrah and attacked the John Company (E.I.C) at Azamgarh, and thirdly on, poisoning of three successive generations in eight years time, culminating on 28.06.1952. But yet the ‘See Chand Mansion’ survived. However, it seems it is true now to relegate it to past and history as it’s successor and memorial to the man who settled Kaithi ‘Rai Chan Singh Judeo’ in 1485 and a reminder of it in the new millennium is ready to hosue the tablet of the geneology of the ‘Sees Chand Mansion’ which ought to be restored for posterity and handed over to the Archaelogical Survey of India and UNESCO’s Heritage Preservation.
