History

Black Death

Spread-Of-The-Black-Death

India was depopulated, Tartary, Mesopotamia, Syria, Armenia were covered with dead bodies - as mentioned by a German physician Justus Hecker in his book "Epidemics of the middle Ages" page no 21.[4]

The Black death was one of the most devastating Pandemics in human history. The Black death is thought to have originated from the Tartary plains of Central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road and sea trade roots with Mongol armies and traders spreading throughout China, India reaching the seaports of Europe by 1346 AD. The black death is estimated to have killed 2.5 crores Chinese and other Asians before it entered Europe.
It is estimated to have killed 30 to 60% of Europe's total population. All in one the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 45 crores down to 35 crores in the 14th century. However the analysis of DNA from victims published in 2010 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia bactetium, probably causing several forms of plague.

Migration From Pandarak

Migration from Pandarak to Naromurar

In the year of 1340s while the Plague was spreading towards the eastern part of India, It reached the pandarak a village now in patna district Bihar. The villagers could do nothing but to see others die and wait for their turn. Most of the villagers were dying due to the plague attack, people used to say - "Bhagwan nikauni kar rahe hai" In Magadhi speaking people nikauni word is used for cultivation, the process of weeding the unwanted herbages from crops is known as Nikauni. Some of them who survived migrated to Apsarh or Aanti village now in Nawada district Bihar, later a group of people from Apsarh migrated to Kochgaon village and some of them to Naromurar in order to protect their lives. It is believed that in the year of 1352 AD two brothers namely Naro Singh and Murar Singh along with their families were the first immigrants to come that place which later flourished and developed and came to be known as Naromurar after their names.

Ancient Naromurar Kachahari

Tikari Maharaj Mitrajeet Singh, 1763 - 1840 AD

Before the advent of Independence in 1947 AD, Bihar was one of the provinces under the rule of British Raj. In 1936 Bihar and Orissa Province was declared as separate provinces of Bihar and Orissa under the Government of India Act 1935 passed by the Parliament of United Kingdom, before the year of 1912 Bihar and Orissa province was the part of Bengal Presidency. For administrative purposes the provinces were divided into several parts having a Zamindar as the head of each, over time they took princely and royal titles such as Maharaja, Nawab, Mirza and many others.

Naromurar was one of the 2046 villages of South Bihar under the jurisdiction of Tekari Raj.[8] In 1764 after the decisive victory in Battle of Buxar by British East India Company fought with combined army of Nawab of Awadh, Nawab of Bengal and Mughal emperor at Buxar, then within the territory of Bengal, a town located on the bank of Ganges river about 130 km west of Patna, an agreement of Permanent Settlement Act was signed in 1793 between East India Company and Bengali landlords to fix revenues to be raised from land. Earlier Zamindars in Bengal, Bihar and Odisha had been functionaries who held the right to collect revenue on behalf of the Mughal emperors. By the permanent settlement act of 1793, the zamindars power of keeping the armed forces were taken back and they remained just the tax collectors of the land. The power of zamindars were considerably weakened as they were not allowed to hold any court as it was brought under the supervision of collector appointed by the company. They did not want to take direct control of local administration in villages because of several reasons, they did not want to annoy those people who had traditionally enjoyed power and prestige in the village.
The court commonly consists of four people having their designations as -

Sr. No. Designation Work Profile
1 Gomastha A paid Manager of the Zamindar
2 Patwari Employed for accounting purposes
3 Barahil To carry the collected tax
4 Chaukidar To provide the security

In the centre of the village there used to be a big Ficus religiosa tree, under its shade a delegation having the associates of zamindar used to collect the revenues from the villagers during the zamindari period. The place is still known as kachahari (court), after the independence several temples has been built inside the kachahari campus but that peepal tree can still be found reminding us about the zamindari era. Along with Naromurar there were nine more villages under the jurisdiction of this Kachahari and the villagers from all those villages had to report there in order to pay their taxes.
