Reserved for the candidates belonging to the scheduled castes Bakhri assembly constituency is currently held by BJP’s Suryakant Paswan who won the seat by defeating his nearest rival Ramshankar Paswan  of BJP by a margin of 777 votes in the last assembly general elections to Bihar in 2020.

Bakhri is one of the thirty-eight assembly constituencies belonging to the scheduled castes in Bihar.

Ramanand Ram was the winner of the seat in 2000 as a Rashtirya Janata Dal (RJD). Earlier Ram Binod Paswan was elected from the Bakhri assembly constituency in 1985, 1990, 1995, in both the assembly elections in 2005 on the ticket of the CPI. Bihar Assembly elections were held twice in the year 2005 due to the fractured verdict in February 2005 Assembly Election.

In 1980 too, the seat went in favour of the CPI whose nominee Ramchandra Paswan trounced Yugal Kishore Sharma of the Congress to win the seat. Ramchandra Paswan had also emerged victorious from the seat in 1972 and 1977. Yugal Kishore Sharma had also claimed the seat in 1967 and 1969 albeit on the ticket of the Communist Party of India (Marxists).

Last time the Congress won the Bakhri assembly seat was in 1962 when its candidate Medni Paswan claimed the seat by trouncing Yugal Kishore Sharma, who was in the fray on the ticket of the undivided CPI.

Bakhri is one of the seven assembly constituencies that unite to form the parliamentary constituency of Begusarai which is currently represented by BJP’s Giriraj Singh who won the seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Other six assembly constituencies that fall under the Begusarai Lok Sabha seat are Bachhwara, Cheria Bariarpur, Teghra, Matihani, Sahebpur Kamal and Begusarai.

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.

Minhaj-us-Siraj: Author of Tabaqat-i-Nasiri

Minhaj-ud-din Abu Uraar bin Siraj-ud-din al-Juzjani, popularly known as Minhaj-us-Siraj,  was a medieval historian who was patronized by Slave Sultan Nasir-ud-din Mahmud to whom he had dedicated his magnum opus Tabaqat-i-Nasiri . Since Siraj held the high office of the Chief Qazi of Delhi to which he was appointed by Nasir-ud-din Mahmud, it is natural that Tabaqat-i-Nasiri gives a first hand account of the historical events from the conquest of Delhi by Muhammad of Ghur up to the year 1260 AD. Siraj was temporarily removed from the post of Chief Qazi from 1253 to 1255 when a section of nobles induced the Sultan to send his prime minister Balban into exile.  Tabaqat-i-Nasiri has been translated into English by Raverty .   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This page was last edited on 24 July 2021
