Talk:Raghunath Mahato

Raghunath Mahato and Chuar Revolt

Relevant and documented matter is about Raghunath Mahato and Chuar Revolt, there is no any Government Documents either British or India and West Bengal in favour of perticipation of Raghunath Mahato of Kudmi-Mahato as an "Activist", "Leader" and "Martyr" in Chuar Revolt during the period of 1766 to 1799. But the Leader and Martyr's name was Raja RAGHUNATH SING, the son of Baidyinath Sing and Grandson of Raja Jagannath Sing (Dhal) of Ghatshila, Dhalbhum, during periods about 1777 to 1784. According to Census 1961, West Bengal, District Census Handbook, Howrah, by B. Ray, Deputy Superintendent of Census Operation, West Bengal, Introduction Page 9, stated that in "Purulia the non-Hindu ethnic, Schedule Cast and Schedule Tribes was Karmalis 1,016 person, where Santhals 1,77,000, Bauris 1,10,000, Bhumij 39,000, Bhangis 14,080, Mundas 12,546", per Herbert Hope Risley stated in his book at his time of 1891 : 528-537; and in Page 9 and 10 of said Census 1961, West Bengal, has more elaborated description about Bhumij people, "The Bhumij were the original inhabitants of Dhalbhum, Barabhum, Patkum, Baghmundi and the bank of Kasai and Subarnarekha river; they dislocated by Hindu Kudmi cast; and this Kudmi-Mahato migrated from some part of Bihar to Manbhum and the district Purulia and pushed the Bhumij farther south-eastward from their former settlement in between Kasai and Subarnarekha rivers (Dalton : Descriptive Ethnology of Bengal, 1872);" Therefore, there's no any proof from British Bengal Presidency account, British Museum as well as Government of India, Government of West Bengal, Ministry of Culture (India) in favour of said so-called Raghunath Mahato and his perticipation in Chuar Revolt during 1767 to 1799 as an "Activist", "Leader" and "Martyr" including his "Date of Birth" as mentioned in seperate page and propagated by only Kudmi Mahato people "for their own interes". More, a rational question arises throughout India and Bangladesh that "Who verified his birth date and how? When at that time (1738), no any customs to keep birth date record as per Anno Domini in Bengal Subah, even he and his family and neighbours were illiterate, and more even the "birth date" unknown yet of so many literates, educated renowned personalities of Bengal, like, Akinchan Chakrabarty, Ramram Basu, Kamalakanta Bhattacharya (Bengal), Ramprasad Sen and many other personalities including Bharatchandra Ray well-known as "RoyGunakar" a poet, of the court of Raja Krishnachandra Roy, then how said so-called Raghunath Mahato's birth date kept and confirmed ? That's why said so-called Raghunath has no existence in presence of supportive authentic document", said many schoolers with proof and applied historical rational analysis very recently.

As this article about a historical personality, there should be reviewed Journals and Books, also the WP:NPOV seems not maintained.

Removing irrelevant source

I'm removing the irrelevant source and folklore, as the source mentioned 'Keshu Ari and Raghunath Mahato were hanged in 1763'. The folklore mentioned is about Keshu Aari and Raghunath Mahato of forest movement and isn't related to Raghunath Mahato (1738-1778) of Chuar rebellion.
