He was born in samvat 1970 at village Bhojasar in the family of Chaudhary Deva Ram. His mother died in childhood. After death of his mother he stayed at his nanihal in village Ajadi.

    Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka - Freedom fighter from Churu

    Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka (चौधरी हरिराम ढाका) is Freedom fighter and social worker from Churu district in Rajasthan. He was born on ashadha shukla 10 samvat 1980 (1923 AD) in village Norangsar, tehsil Sujangarh, district Churu, Rajasthan. His father was Shri Ramu Ram Dhaka. He got early education in village Norangsar under guru Tulsi Ram Sharma in his private school. He got education up to 7th standard in Hanuman Gramya Pathshala Salasar. He went to P.C.V. High School Sujangarh for further studies where he was told that as per orders of Maharaja Bikaner, the Jat boys will not be given admission in the School. Thus he did not get admission in Government School. This incidence hurt him a lot.

    In 1943 the freedom movement got strengthened in Bikaner state under Praja Parishad Bikaner, founded by Raghuvar Dayal Goyal, who organized the farmers against oppressions by the Jagirdars. The prominent people of the region who were associated with this organization were:

    * Ram Narayan
    * Chaudhary Kumbha Ram Arya
    * Chaudhari Hanuman Singh Budania, Dudhwa Khara
    * Hans Raj Arya, Bhadra
    * Chaudhari Deep Chand Arya
    * Chaudhari Rupram Maan, Vidyarthi Bhawan Ratangarh
    * Megh Singh Sewda, Kharia
    * Kani Ram, tehsil Sujangarh
    * Chaudhari Buddhram Katewa, Bharatia ki Dhani, Ratangarh
    * Swami Keshwanand, Sangariya
    * Harishchandra Nain, Advocate Ganganagar
    * Swami Chetnanand
    * Swami Nityanand
    * Chaudhari Buddhram Dudi, Sitsar
    * Chaudhari Surta Ram Sewda, Ratangarh


    The home town of Hari Ram Dhaka, Norangsar village, was situated on the tri-junction of Jodhpur, Jaipur and Bikaner States and was influenced by waves of oppression on the farmers by Jagirdars from all the states. Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka also felt the heat and decided to join the movement. One night he left the village without the permission of his parents and became underground to take part in the freedom movement. He also decided to impart education to the children of farmers.

    Efforts to impart education to Jat boys

    Chaudhari Rupram Maan and Swami Chetnanand started the education program of Jat farmers in rural areas of Ratangarh tehsil by opening private schools. They appointed Swami Nityanand and Chaudhari Chandgi Ram for this purpose. Swami Chetnanand was born in the family of a Jat farmer and could feel the effect of oppression by Jagirdars. These people remained under ground and collected money to start the private education of Jat boys. Chaudhari Buddhram Katewa of Bharatia ki Dhani, Ratangarh, Chaudhari Buddhram Dudi village Sitsar and Chaudhari Surta Ram Sewda, Ratangarh helped a lot in this campaign. Chaudhari Surta Ram Sewda gave his own land for starting a school and Chaudhari Buddhram Dudi got made a shade on this land to start a school.

    At that time there were about 40-50 Jat boys getting education in Ratangarh town who were mainly from Sihag, Dudi, and Tetarwal Jats of Ratangarh town and rest were from nearby villages like Sangasar, Loonchh, Loha, Chhabri, Kadia, Tidiyasar, Thathawata etc. Most of these boys were from poor families and could not afford education on their own. The only means of funding the private education was through collection of chanda or subscription from the farmers. Jats of Ratangarh and Churu either could not afford or did not give subscription out of fear of the Jagirdars. But the Jats of Ganganagar district were well off and they were not much effected by Jagirdars. They gave handsome amounts for education.

    Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka went to Sangariya to get financial help from Swami Keshwanand. Swami Keshwanand appointed him the Manager of Industries Department of Jat High School Sangariya. Megh Singh Sewda also joined this school. Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka collected about Rs. 2000/- from the teachers of Jat High School and called Chaudhari Rupram Maan, Vidyarthi Bhawan Ratangarh, to hand over this amount. He then sent Chaudhari Rupram Maan to Advocate Harshchandra Nain at Ganganagar. There was a good subscription at Ganganagar and with this financial assistance Chaudhari Rupram Maan and Swami Chetnanand organized a grand sabha of farmers at Ratangarh in Podaron ka Nohra. Swami Keshwanand and Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka also joined this sabha. A number of decisions were taken in this sabha about awakening of the farmers of this area. As decided in this sabha Swami Keshwanand sent Chaudhari Hari Ram Dhaka to Ratangarh to enhance the movement of education and freedom.

    Hari Ram Dhaka and Megh Singh Sewda went from village to village in Churu district and gave momentum to this movement. Tiku Ram Budania, Rupram Maan and Hari Ram Dhaka organized a meeting at village Loha in Ratangarh tehsil. The urban people also came in their support. Mohan Lal Saraswat and Rameswar Pareek from Ratangarh were of great help in the sabha. Jagirdars did their best to disturb the sabha but it continued. It was decided unanimously not to pay the taxes to the Jagirdars and not to obey their orders.

    Leader of the Kangar kand

    The Jagirdars had tried to prevent the farmers from taking part in Loha Sabha. This sabha at Loha village was quite successful. The Jagirdars were frightened about the decisions taken in this sabha. They approached Maharaja Bikaner from whom they obtained the permission to recover the land and other taxes forcefully. The Jagirdars assembled at village Kangar in Ratangarh tehsil in the fort of Gop Singh Jagirdar. They took the Kaimkhanis of Ratangarh also with them. They were all equipped with swords, guns, barchhis, bhalas etc. Here the Jagirdars decided to recover 20 times taxes forcefully. Looking to these preparations of the Jagirdars, the Jat farmers approached Hari Ram Dhaka and Rupram Maan at Ratangarh.

    Hari Ram Dhaka sent Megh Singh, Rupram Maan, Sisram Bhaktopdeshak with the farmers of Kangar to assess the situation at Kangar. They found that the Jagirdars were enjoying drinks and goat meat. They had forcefully snatched goats, sheep, milk, curd etc. from villagers of Kangar. They started doing rape with the village women. Jagirdars dragged the villagers to the fort, beaten them and demanded 20 times taxes. The message spread to nearby villages and Jats also assembled in thousands of number for the counter action. They were also equipped with barchhi, bhala, jeli etc. The situation was very tense. Jats assessed the situation and decided not to have a direct confrontation as it may lead to hundreds of lives on both sides. All farmers consented that they should approach the Bikaner Maharaja to let him know the actual situation. A deputation of 35 agitating farmers was sent to Bikaner under the leadership of Rupram Maan and Megh Singh.

    Hari Ram Dhaka along with seven persons reached Kangar. Chaudhari Surja Ram, Jaisangsar and Ganpat Ram Nai had also come to Kangar the same day. Both were in white khadi clothes and were wearing Gandhi topi. The Syangan Jagirdar, Kishan Singh, attacked them with lathi which broke the head of Surja Ram and one hand of Ganpat Ram. They fell on the ground. Kishan Singh was shouting "kill them". This attack led the revolutionaries to start demonstration against the Jagirdars, shouting slogans for freedom. This was the first demonstration against Jagirdars under leadership of Hari Ram Dhaka at Kangar village. On 30 October 1946 at 10 am, Hari Ram Dhaka along with his associates were arrested and imprisoned in the fort. They were beating them very badly and putting them in a shade full of pala. Muknaram Achra from village Gorisar, Chaudhari Ganpat Ram Jatda from tehsil Churu and Hari Ram Dhaka along with others were put in pala after they fainted out of severe beating. At about 4 am in the morning they heard voices that thousands of Jats had gathered at village Barjangsar and started attacking Jagirdars and that they were reaching Kangar also. This sent ripples of pain amongst the Jagirdars who decided to release the freedom fighters. The revolutionaries were brought before Gop Singh, who was ADC of Bikaner Maharaja. The village Kangar was in Jagir of Gop Singh. Most of the Jagirdars had left the fort on hearing the news of coming of group of revolutionaries. The Kaimkhani of Rtangarh also left the fort of Kangar. The only persons left in the fort were Gop Singh himself along with Ram Singh DSP and his police party. All the revolutionaries had decided not to accept the directions of Gop Singh. At last they put the revolutionaries in a Jeep like cattle and through them away at Ratangarh. Here when they came to senses they found that a group of revolutionaries including Master Deep Chand, Moji Ram Chaudhari Chandgothi, Hans Raj Arya, Bhadra, Gangadatta and Prof Kedar from Ganganagar were approaching them. They were apprised of the incidence of Kangar.

    how can muslims be jats, if they converted to islam they are muslims now, we cant call them hindus any more. as jats we should stick to pure jats an not start importing them.

    do the sikhs ever talk about jats when they discuss thier history, an here we start adding up sikh names to our history, like sidhu, maharaja ranjit singh, in the process we forget our own community of jats, i think we suffer from some kind of a complex, thats why we have now started drifting towards even muslims identifying them as jats.

    Jat word has no relation with religion .Not only Hindu Muslim and Sikhs there are millions of Christian Jats too,one Jatland member Soko Norman is such Romanian Christian Jat.

    Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a Sindhu Jat not Sidhu ,if he adopted Sikh religion that doesn't mean he lost his Jathood.

    Aur Bhai aap to Jat hi honge ?????? ,Agar hai to apko apni history jarur padani Chaiye.

    Dr Ghasi Ram Verma - A millionare Faqir

    Dr Ghasi Ram Verma (डॉ घासीराम वर्मा) is a famous mathematician of the world who taught mathematics in America for 36 years. He is a great donor and social worker committed to the cause of upliftment of education in India. He has so far donated Rs 2 crore to the educational Institutes in Rajasthan.

    Birth and Childhood

    He was born in village Sigadi of district Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan on 1 August 1927 in a Hindu Jat family of Chaudhary Ladu Ram Tetarwal. His mother's name is Jiwani. The village Sigadi is situated 15 km west of Jhunjhunu in district Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. Ghasi Ram is youngest of three sons of Chaudhary Ladu Ram. His childhood name was Ghisa.

    Education

    There was no school in his own village so Ghisa was sent to village Vahidpura, situated 5 km away from Sigadi, for his school education. His name was written Ghasi Ram in the records of school and from that time Ghisa became Ghasi Ram. After passing 4th standard he went to Pilani for further studies. He was talented but a poor boy so with the help of scholarship and tuition etc he could complete B.A. in 1950. Meanwhile he was married to Rukmani Devi daughter of Chaudhary Gangaram of village Nayasar. After doing B.A. he could not afford his higher education due to financial problems so he did teaching for two years in Vishambar High School Bagar, district Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. After getting some money from teaching job he took admission in Banaras Hindu University in Maths subject in year 1952 and completed his M.A. (Maths) in 1954. He later went to Pilani to complete his Ph.D. in Maths from University of Rajasthan under the guidance of Dr Vibhuti Bhusan Sen. He got Ph.D.(Maths) in December 1957 and joined as Lecturer of Maths in Pilani itself.

    Went to United States

    During January 1958, he came in contact with American Professor Mr. Kurt Auto Fedrix of Kurant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, United States, during a session of Indian Science Congress at Kolkata. He was very much influenced by the talents of Dr Ghasi Ram Verma and invited him to United States for further research. Dr Ghasi Ram Verma borrowed some money from his friends and relatives and went to United States. He did research work for about a year and then joined in September 1959 the Fortham University, New York for teaching . He taught Maths there for two years and came back to Pilani in July 1961 and started teaching here. In 1964 he got invitation from University of Rode in United States. He went there with his family in September 1964. He liked this place very much and after doing teaching there for about 36 years got voluntary retirement in year 2000 from the post of Professor. He earned a great reputation during 40 years of his teaching career as mathematician.

    A great donor and social worker

    Dr Ghasi Ram Verma is a great donor to the educational Institutes in Rajasthan. During summers he visited India every year and whatever he earned in America spent here in India for the cause of improving standard of education. According to an estimate he has donated about 2 Crores of rupees from his personal savings. The educational institutes which got financial help from him are:

    * Kisan Chhatrawas, Nawalgarh
    * Gramin Mahila Chhatrawas, Nagaur
    * Sanskrit Vidyalaya, Sukhana
    * Gramin Mahila Shikshan Sansthan, Sikar
