Araria assembly constituency has been won in 2025 general assembly polls to the Bihar Legislative assembly by incumbent Congress MLA Avidur Rahman who defeated his nearest rival Shagufta Azim of the Janata Dal (United) by a margin of 12741 votes.   

Avidur Rahman had got elected to the Bihar legislative assembly in 2015 and 2020.

Araria assembly constituency was won in 2010 general assembly polls by Lok Janashakti Party (LJP)‘s Zakir Hussain Khan    (former Bahujan Samaj Party MLA from Forbesganj assembly seat  ) who had defeated his nearest rival Narayan Kumar Jha of the BJP by an impressive margin of 18061 votes.

In a byelection to the Araria assembly seat in 2009, LJP candidate Vijay Kumar Mandal wrested the seat from the BJP which has won from here in both the elections in 2005. In both occasions Pradeep Kumar Singh was the BJP candidate.  It has to be borne in mind that Bihar went to the assembly polls twice in 2005 because the earlier one held in February threw hung assembly necessitating the holding of the second assembly polls in the month of November of the same year. Bijay Kumar Mandal had emerged victorious from Araria also in 1995 and 2000. He unsuccessfully contested the Sikti assembly seat in 2010 on the ticket of the LJP.

Araria had also been represented by Bihar heavyweight politician and turncoat Tasilmuddin who was elected from the seat in 1980. Tasilmuddin was a minister in the UPA government led by Manmohan Singh.

Araria is one of the six assembly segments that combine to form the parliamentary constituency of the same name which is currently represented by BJP's Pradeep Kumar Singh in the last Lok Sabha general elections in 2024.

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
