Baigoman is a village in Gaya district, Bihar India.[1] It comes under Punakala Panchayat of Paraiya, a district sub division.[2]
History
In around 1850, the Tekari Raj granted a portion of its territory to Babu Kashinath Singh Ji, a zamindar of Galimapur in Saran. Kashinath Babu, a warrior from Saran, assisted the then Maharaja of Tekari in resolving a significant water crisis. The solution primarily involved mediating disputes over a southern dam. He also fought against the Nawab of Bengal and zamindar of Sherghati along with the Maharaja of Tekari.
During this period Baigoman was characterized as a non-salute, non-jurisdictional zamindari state, spanning an area of roughly 100 square kilometres. Although the rulers of Baigoman were not formally acknowledged as monarchs, they wielded considerable authority in the Tekari and Gurua regions. Notably, these rulers sided with the Tekari kings in their administrative disputes with the British and were responsible for local taxation, which was used for the development of Tekari town.
The Zamindars of Baigoman and Galimapur belong to the Kachhwaha Rajput clan, originally from Rajasthan. They migrated to Galimapur, where they overthrew the ruling Muslim Zamindar and established their own Zamindari. Known for their valor and governance, they ruled the region with Rajput traditions of justice and honor. Their legacy continues through their descendants, who remain influential in social and philanthropic affairs. [3]
The nationwide abolition of the zamindari system in 1950 led to estate-related disputes in the Tekari region, mirroring conflicts in other parts of Bihar. Subsequent tensions between various communities, including the Rajput, Bhumihar, Dalit, Yadav, and Gareri, intensified. A significant incident in 1979 involved the murder of a Bhumihar individual, which precipitated a series of retaliatory raids on neighboring villages in the following months.[4]
