Syed Mohammad: Famous Advocate, Poet, Politician & A Man of Many Hats

Bihar My Story

The Kutchehriโ€ฆ “Manjhla Estate”

Located in the Dhadhar river valley between the thickly forested hills of the Maher and Rangaini Range the zamindari listed with the District Collector of Gaya as โ€œManjhla Estateโ€ was called โ€œsarkarโ€ (government) by the villagers in the area. It was called sarkar because that was all the governance that was. The forests stretching over almost 3000 square miles were just one of the wildernesses that connected the Magadh region to heights of the Chotanagpur plateau. The region teemed with wild life so typical to Indiaโ€™s wildernesses, and was home to tigers, leopardsโ€™ herds of sambhar, cheetal, barking deer, sloth bears, wild boar pea-fowl and jungle fowl.
