Forgotten people

Tejpratap Chauhan Namdhari was a journalist in our hometown Hajipur. Chacha (uncle) of children like me. He owned a house in the village of Balwa-Koari, covered with Kadli forest, two-three kilometers from Hajipur. Chauhan lived from his family in his tiled house in Bhomhariya in Vilag Nagar. Dinner came from the village itself. In 1954, he started his journalism journey with the daily Sanmarg, which continued till the eighties. After the year 1990, there was a change in Chauhan ji. He traveled to Vaishali's monasteries and archaeologically important places and started correcting his diary. He would give biscuits to the billowing youth of Chhapas's hunger, drink the cool water of the well, and write legends with the help of legends, then get them published.

Chauhan ji taught restless youth to see history through the microscope of legends.

Which temple has the idol of which period, what monastery did Tulsidas create, in which village of Vaishali did Gurudev or Bharatendu Babu come. When someone asks, 'What is Aadhaar?' So Jhalakar would say, 'Write, say the sixth pass senior journalist Chauhan.' In his village he established the 'Lok Sanskriti Chetna Manch'. From this platform he honored 1,400 people, including famous film actors Bharat Bhushan and Prem Nath.
