CHURAL KALAN KOTHI, Sd. I S JAIJEE, Ancestral Home of Rajmata Mahender Kaur of Patiala

200year old palace complex of Sardar Harchand Singh Jaijee (late), the founder of the Praja Mandal( 1934) along with Sardar Seva Singh Thikriwala. Before this it was the HQ of the Singh Sabha Movement (early 1900's). In 1947, this entire complex was converted into a Refugee Camp for the Muslims of this area, from where they were escorted to Pakistan. From the 1980's onwards, it was the HQ of the Movement Against State Repression, (MASR) which addressed excesses of the Govt. against innocent citizens of the Punjab during the period of Punjab Militancy! Now, led by the JAIJEE FAMILY, it addresses the problems of rural desperation leading to farmer suicides, & their rehabilitation. E-mail: inderjitsinghjaijee@yahoo.com
