Belsand

Located in the Sitamarhi district in Bihar, Belsand is currently held by Sanjay Kumar Gupta of the Rashtriya Janata Dal. He had won the seat in 2020 by defeating his nearest rival and then sitting Janata Dal (United) MLA Sunita Singh by a margin of 13,931 votes.

Sunita Singh had emerged victorious from the Belsand seat in 2015 and 2010 on the ticket of JD(U). 

Earlier Sunita had won the Belsand assembly seat in February polls in 2005 on a Lok Janshakti Party ticket by defeating the sitting RJD MLA Ram Swarth Rai who was elected from the seat in the previous assembly elections in 2000 by trouncing her (Sunita’s) husband Rana Randhir Singh Chauhan, who was in the fray as a Samata Party nominee. 

She joined the JDU and contested unsuccessfully the next Assembly elections in October/November in 2005 against the RJD’s Sanjay Kumar Gupta.

In 2010, the congress had won only four seats in 2010 assembly polls to Bihar. The Janata Dal (United) did not nominate any candidate because it went to the polls in alliance with the BJP in the last assembly polls in Bihar. While the BJP managed to claim 91 seats, the JD (U) candidates emerged victorious from 115 constituencies. The Rashtirya Janata Dal (RJD), which contested the elections together with the LJP, put up a dismal performance by winning only 22 seats.

Earlier Sunita had won the Belsand assembly seat in February polls in 2005 on a Lok Janshakti Party ticket by defeating the sitting RJD MLA Ram Swarth Rai who was elected from the seat in the previous assembly elections in 2000 by trouncing her (Sunita’s) husband Rana Randhir Singh Chauhan, who was in the fray as a Samata Party nominee. She joined the JDU and unsuccessfully the next Assembly elections in October/November in 2005 against the RJD’s Sanjay Kumar Gupta.

Vrishin Patel, former education minister in the Nitish Kumar cabinet, had won the Belsand assembly seat on the ticket on Samata Party in a byepoll in 1996. The byepoll was necessitated due to the resignation of the sitting Janata Dal MP Raghubans Prasad Singh who was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Vaishali parliamentary constituency in 1996.

Raghubans Prasad Singh has successfully contested the Belsand assembly seat in 1977, 1980, 1985 and 1995.

Belsand went in favour of the Congress last time in 1990 when its nominee Digvijay Pratap Singh won the seat by defeating Raghubans Prasad Singh.

Belsand is one of the six assembly constituencies that unite to form the Sheohar parliamentary constituency currently represented by Lovely Anand of the JD(U). Other five assembly constituencies are Chiraia, Madhuban, Sheohar, Riga and Dhaka.

Muhammad Shah Rangila

Aurangzeb, the last great Mughal emperor, died in 1707. Muhammad Shah became Mughal emperor in 1719. During the interregnum, Bahadur Shah I , Jahandar Shah, Farrukhsiyar, Rafi-ud-Darajat and Rafi-ud-Daula ascended the Mughal throne. Jahandar Shah was murdered on the orders of Farrukhsiyar who had the support of the two powerful Mughal nobles Sayyid Abdullah and his brother Sayyid Husain Ali at that time. They are famous in history as Sayyid brothers, the King-makers. In 1719, Farrukhsiyar were murdered in utter disregard of a Mughal emperor by Sayyid brothers. Rafi-ud-Darajat died of consumption in a few months. Rafi-ud-Daula was addicted to opium and died in 4 months. Sayyid brothers now chose Raushan Akhtar, a son of Jahan Shah (the fourth son of Bahadur Shah I), to be the emperor. Raushan Akhtar ascended the throne under the title of Muhamamd Shah in September 1719. In the beginning Muhammad Shah was a puppet in the hands of Sayyid brothers who soon began to lose their gri...

Turkan-i-Chahalgani, the Group of Forty

Amir-i-Chahalgani, known variously as Turkan-i-Chahalgani and Chalisa (The Forty), was a group of 40 faithful slaves which came into existence with the task of protecting Shamsuddin Iltutmish , the third Slave Sultan of Delhi Sultanate. The idea to form the group was taken by him when he came to realize that Turkish nobles cannot be trusted and could be a threat to his rule. With the passage of time the group went on to become very influential and powerful. Though Iltutmish succeeded in keeping the group under control, after his rule they became notorious and intrigued against nearly all his successors.  The Forty acquired domination on the affairs of the state so much so that no ruler could defy them. Without their support it was utterly out of questions for the rulers to win the battle for succession. The members of this Turkish nobility used to appropriate all the offices of the state to themselves. Some of the rulers of the Slave dynasty after Iltutmish were murdered by these s...

Muzaffarid dynasty of Gujarat

          Champaner’s Jama Masjid, built by Mahmud Begada/Wikimedia Commons Muzaffarid dynasty of Gujarat was founded by Zafar Khan, who was appointed governor of Gujarat in 1391 by the ruler of Delhi Sultanate, with the title Muzaffar Khan. Zafar Khan was son of Sadharan, a Jat convert to Islam. Firuz Shah Tughluq was married to Sadharan’s sister. Muzaffar Khan remained loyal to Delhi sultanate and was able to suppress the rebellions of Muslim and Hindu chieftains. Though deposed by his son Tatar Khan in 1403-4, he was restored to the throne by his uncle, Shams Khan Dandani, who poisoned Tatar Khan. Muzaffar proclaimed his independence as Muzaffer Shah in 1407. After his death in 1411 the throne passed on to Shihabuddin Ahmad Shah who ruled for thirty-one years. During his reign, Ahmad Shah (1411-42), who was son of the dead Tatar Khan, was engaged in continuous warfare and consolidated the Gujarat Sultanate. In 1411 he founded a new walled city which...
