The Crisis of Succession : Palace Intrigues

Mithila as a region is far greater in expanse than the mere physical boundaries of the Raj Darbhanga. But Darbhanga was always considered as the representative of the ancient Mithila. The last dynasty to rule from Darbhanga was known as the ‘Khandavala’ and it had produced eighteen illustrious personalities who adorned the throne of Mithila Raj. Sir Kameshwar Singh was the last Maharajadhiraja and after his sudden and mysterious death on 1st October, 1962, the dynasty came to an abrupt end, though the era of monarchy had ceased to exist for all practical purposes on 15 August, 1947, when India, after getting independent from the colonial rule of Britain, decided to adopt democracy for governance. The socio-economic-political and cultural life of the people of Mithila had always been inextricably intertwined with the power ruling Mithila. These illustrious rulers were instrumental in establishing and continuation of supremacy of knowledge over economy or polity. Mithila, being primarily a peasant society, flirted in a big way with industrialization between 1840 and till the end of 1960s, only to end up being one of the poorest and most under-developed regions of India. This book tries to look into the factors and conditions which led to, not only the end of the dynasty, but also the fall of this great cultural zone which had risen like a meteor on the national stage, and dominated the political/cultural/economic movement from 1879 to 1960s. It tries to explore the inter-personal aspirations and intrigues due to ambition without ability of the members of the first family, through the - diaries/ documents/ letters, etc. It tries to bring to the fore, the events and change in mind-set of the people as the “Yuga of monarchy’ comes to an end and “Yuga of democracy’ takes over. The book raises questions and cajoles the readers to have a rational view on the era and the dominating events.

The first Partition of India : Sugauli Treaty

This book takes readers on a journey back to the 18th century, witnessing the unification of Nepal, the intrigues and machinations of the British East India Company, and the events leading to the first partition of the country through the formalisation of the boundary between Nepal and India. Spanning nearly a century, these developments had profound and far-reaching negative impacts on Mithila/Tirhut, a historically significant region that was divided between two nations. Despite this physical division, the people of Mithila remained deeply connected to their brethren across the newly drawn political boundary. While the ruling families were undermined by British treachery and the greed of newly established smaller zamindars, the region’s cultural, linguistic, and intellectual unity endured. As descendants of great sages such as Janak and Yajnavalkya, and as inheritors of Mithila’s rich cultural and intellectual legacy, the people of the region remained bound by their shared heritage and the enduring ties of brotherhood, epitomised by Bhagawati Sita.
