Bramheshwar Singh Mukhia

IIPM BBA MBA Institute: Student Notice Board

When he was not arrested, Mukhia never fought election in his life. Leave alone Bramheshwar Singh MukhiaMP or MLA, Mukhia never ever contested even in the local elections. But when he was arrested and taken to jail, he decided to give it a shot. He fought the election and lost. He never managed to bag the alias like MLA Saheb, MP Saheb or Netaji. But he was lovingly called 'Mukhia' by his supporters. Mukhia can variously mean local head and several things. He got this alias because he used to lead the dreaded Ranvir Sena, a notorious caste militia that was indulged in a bloody battle with Leftist ultras in Bihar. He was a cold-hearted mastermind who designed and executed some of the most gruesome massacres that the nation has witnessed. Lakshmanpur Bathe was particularly horrible where the total number of casualties touched the three-figure mark. However, Mukhia always alluded the police because of his simple way of living and penchant for camouflage. His house, a sort of pilgrimage for upper caste Bhumihars whose cause he claimed to have championed, is desolate these days. The same people who drew pride in calling themselves his relatives, now try to distance themselves from his name. His Ranvir Sena was seen by the upper castes as their reply to Leftist ultras and hence they opened their purse strings and heart strings for the 'cause'. His house in Khopira, his office at Katira in Ara and his undisclosed office in Patna used to bustle with people. Mukhia had managed to cultivate a sort of cult status for himself. All sorts of people used to claim the during his camouflaged visit, Mukhia talked to them or/and gave signals. Anyone who was in direct contact with him was almost worshiped. But these stories appear legend today. No one comes to meet him and his family these days. He has been abandoned. His son Indu Bhushan is bitter about this. He mumbles a few expletives and curses his fate.
