The Bhumihar dominated assembly constituency of Mokama in Bihar is currently held by Neelam Devi of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). She had won the seat in 2022 in a bye-election which was necessitated due to the disqualification of her predecessor Anant Kumar Singh as an MLA.

In that election while Neelam Devi had polled 79,744 votes, 63,003 votes were received by her nearest rival Sonam Devi of BJP.

Since 1980, Mokama assembly constituency has been won by strongmen. Anant Kumar Singh had been winning the seat since 2005. He had won the the seat on both the elections in 2005.

Dilip Kumar Singh, brother of Anant Kumar Singh, had emerged victorious from the Mokama assembly constituency in 1990 and 1995 on the ticket of the Janata Dal.

In the next assembly elections held in 2000, he was defeated by independent candidate Suraj Singh alias Suraj Bhan Singh who won the seat by a huge margin of 59471 votes. Dilip Kumar Singh was a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) nominee in that election.

Suraj Bhan Singh is now disqualified to contest polls due to his conviction in a murder case.

In the past another strongman Shyam Sunder Singh had claimed the Mokama assembly seat for the Congress in 1980 and 1985. He later joined the Lalu led RJD.

Mokama assembly constituency has also sent prominent Bihar Congress leader and former Union minister Krishna Shahi to the Bihar legislative assembly in 1972 and 1977. She served as a minister in the Narsimha Roa led Congress government at the centre.

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.

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
