    Thakur Deshraj

    Thakur Deshraj (1903-1970) was a social worker, nationalist and a historian of Rajasthan in India. He was born in village Jhagina of district Bharatpur in Rajasthan, India. He was revenue minister in the princely state of Bharatpur. His wife was Tribeni Devi.

    Before independence the state of Rajasthan was a union composed of several princely states of Rajputana, which came into existence on 30th March 1949. The conditions of the farmers in Rajasthan were worst. The farmers of the Rajasthan were exploited and oppressed by the Jagirdars during British Raj. They were deprived of fundamental rights. They were given inhuman treatment when the Jagirdars did not get cesses known as “lag” or “begar” in time, they were given hard punishments and their crop used to be destroyed. The farmers were tenants of the land and their condition was deplorable under the exploitation of landlords called Jajirdars, Zamindars and Bishwedars etc. The tenant had no right over the land cultivated by him. He was only the tiller of the soil, but was under the whimsical mercy of those landlords.

    But the farmers as a class were awakening under the leadership of Thakur Deshraj and there was turmoil of the tiller demanding, “Land to tiller”. Thakur Deshraj united farmers of Rajasthan under the banner of Jat Mahasabha. He led the movement of nonpayment of cesses to Jagirdars in 1000 villages of district Jhunjhunu. He organized successful mass rallies of farmers of Sikar and Jhunjhunu districts in Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. This hostile state of affairs led the newly formed state govt. to take immediate steps to reconcile the situation. The pressure of protection of the tenants was so immense that the govt. had to take immediate steps and with this aim “The Rajasthan Protection of Tenants Ordinance, 1949” was promulgated to meet the burning need of the time. Thus Thakur Deshraj was an instrument of change in abolition of Jagirs in Rajasthan.

    ......
    Good article Mr. Burdak. Recently, his anniversary was celebrated in Jaipur, which unfortunately I could not attend, during the first week of April. There was a little write up about it in local newspaper, I think both in Rajasthan Patrika and Dainik Bhaskar.

    The newspaper write up listed quite a few speakers who spoke about him and his work. I can not locate the web link to the newspaper article.

    We all know that he was a pioneer jat historian, writing his book 'Jat Itihas' way back in 1935, and thanks to this thread, we now know that he was a great social reformer too.

    Hi Naveen ji,
    I tried to find material on Thakur Deshraj from Jat Samaj magazine and some other publications. It is surprising that a person who has written so much about jats in his book Jat-Itihas, very little is written about him. With this intension I have put this article so that we can get more about him on the internet. I request the members to provide more details about his life and works he did for jats. I have gone through an article by his wife in Jat Samaj that pertains to the situations at the time of merger of Bharatpur state with Rajasthan. This article indicates that he was very popular with the public and merger could take place only after his consent.

    Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya

    Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya (1914-1995) was a freedom fighter, parliamentarian and popular leader of farmers in Rajasthan, India. He was born at village Khaira-Chhota of princely state Patiala on 10th May 1914 in a Jat Hindu family. His father's name was Bhairaram and mother's name was Jivani. His family migrated to village Saudanpur and finally to village Fefana of Nohar Tehsil of princely state Bikaner.

    Early political movements

    Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya got primary education at village school Fefana and joined Forest department Hanumangarh at the age of 14 years. Arya Samaj was spreading its activities in rural areas in those days. Brahmanical dominance and untouchability prevalent in the society forced him to follow the principles of Arya Samaj. He became strong follower of Swami Dayanand. He took part in the Lahore Congress Adhiveshan in 1930, due to which he was removed from service of Forest department. Later on he joined Police department to. He came in contact with two politicians of democratic thinking namely Mukta Prasad Vakil and Raghuvar Dayal Goyal. With their help he founded a political organization “Praja Parishad”. He resigned from police service to support the freedom movement started by Mahatma Gandhi. He became active in politics and started taking part in political movements. He took part in “Akhil Bharatiy Deshi Rajya Parishad Adhiveshan” in 1945.
    Reformist moves for farmers

    Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya united farmers of princely state Bikaner against the exploitation by Jagirdars. He was arrested by the ruler of Bikaner and imprisoned till independence. The Jagirdars in Bikaner state were exploiting farmers. Before independence the state of Rajasthan was a union composed of several princely states of Rajputana, which came into existence on 30th March 1949. The farmers were tenants of the land and their condition was deplorable under the exploitation of landlords called Jajirdars, Zamindars and Bishwedars etc. The tenant had no right over the land cultivated by him. He was only the tiller of the soil, but was under the whimsical mercy of those landlords. But the farmers as a class were awakening in Bikaner state under the leadership of Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya and there was turmoil of the tiller demanding, “Land to tiller”. This hostile state of affairs led the newly formed state government to take immediate steps to reconcile the situation. The pressure of protection of the tenants was so immense that the government had to take immediate steps and with this aim “The Rajasthan Protection of Tenants Ordinance, 1949” was promulgated to meet the burning need of the time. The Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952 was the landmark in the legal history of land reforms in Rajasthan. The pressure of farmers united under the leadership of Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya forced the state government to promulgate The Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 which became applicable to the whole of Rajasthan. The overriding effect of this Act provided relief to the existing tenants and the rights accrued to tenants accordingly. He also amended the rules of felling trees in favour of farmers. Farmers were not allowed to fell trees from his land. This caused great difficulty. It was he who pressurized the state government to amend the rules and permit the farmer to fell trees from land of his ownership for his own use.

    Panchayat-Raj and cooperative movement

    The first popular government in Rajasthan was formed in 1949 under the leadership of Hiralal Shastri. Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya was made home minister in it. A new government was formed in 1951 under the leadership of Jaynarayan Vyas. He was made minister in this ministry also. Later on in Mohanlal Sukharia government in 1954 and in 1964 also he was twice minister. He formed Panchayat Raj Federation of which he was chairman from 1957-1958. He is the founder member of Panchayat Raj in Rajasthan. The rules of Panchayat Raj of Rajasthan are considered to be ideal ones in the country. He was member of Rajya Sabha from 1960-1964. In 1966 he resigned from the Congress government and formed a new political party “Janata Party”. In 1968 he was elected to Rajya Sabha and was member of Rajya Sabha from 1968-74. He was Member of Parliament elected from Sikar (1980-84) from Lokdal Party.

    Chaudhari Kumbharam Arya formed Kisan Union in the interest of farmers in 1974. He believed that the key to success of rural development was in Panchayati Raj and Cooperative movement. He was founder of cooperative movement in Rajasthan. He was Chairman of Rajasthan Apex Cooperative bank. He was Chairman of Rajasthan Marketing Federation “RAJFED”. He was Chairman of Rajasthan Cooperative Federation. His role in cooperative movement in Rajasthan was unparallel.

    Radical thinker

He tried all his life to remove social evils from the society. He opposed untouchability. His butler was a Harijan by caste. His bodyguard was a Rajput. He arranged marriage of his Rajput bodyguard with a Muslim woman after adopting her as a sister. He was author of two books namely “Kisan Union Kyon” and “Varg Chetana”. He started a weekly magazine “Kisan” in Hindi in 1978. He started number of schools and hostels for girls in Bikaner region. He served for about 50 years in various capacities starting from Lok Parishad, National Congress, Janata Party, Bhartiy Krantidal, Bhartiy Lokdal and Janata Party with the interest of a common man in mind.

    Dear Parvinder,

    I welcome your comments on my note for Ch. Ajit singh I do respect him, but on other hand
    I think he was not able to deliver,Even in case of helping jats(number is very less in compare to JAT population of
    Western UP).Jat Youths living in villages do not have jobs and money due to what they are getting involved in crimes.

    // "we taking here about the great Jats who have made the name for themselves "

    He is not famous because of himself or his work but he fetches that name from the Great CH. Charan Singh jee.

    This is my opinion and can differ from person to person.

    understand the difference!!!!!

    I whole heartedly agree!

    there are people who set an example and there are others who are known for something --- could be anything!!

    great are those who do something good for the society as a whole rather than only for themselves.

    the point is to appreciate the DIFFERENCE!!

    1. Sir Chotu Ram
    2. Ch Charan Singh
    3. Maharaja Suraj Mal
    4. Ch Devi Lal
    5. Dara Singh
    6. Col. Hoshyar Singh, PVC
    7. Virendra Sehwag

    Famous can be considered only those whom common men from all castes know and those who inspired others very significantly..

    Dear virmaram ji,
    "Bishnoi" is a sect and not a caste. Any person regardless of his/her caste and religion can embrace this sect. And a lot of bishnois are jats. And, sir for your kind information in a village in Jind dist of Haryana, some jat families have adopted Jainism.

    Add this one also to the revered list:
    "Harphool Singh Jat Julani Wala"

    Vikram Singh ji,

    You are right in the sense that Bisnois are nothing but derived from jats. Only their ideology is different. We have common gotras as well. Bisnois also think that way. We need to bring famous people from Bisnois also.

    Can you give more details about 'Harphool Singh Jat Julani Wala" ?

    How about Jats in Military

    I think all Jats who are in military at all levels, past or present, whether living or not, should be part of this list or is it implicit that they are already included. They are ready to lay their lives for the defense of India and are all heroes in my opinion.
