Ramapur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramapur village and post (pop. 223,225)[1] is a village in Pawai Block, Phulpur, Azamgarh, India .

Ramapur was created at the time of the Muslim period by the ancestors of the village, who migrated from the Village Ulle which was under the Muslims (converted from Hindu). The Brahmin family of the village knew of the internal process as Azamgarh was came under Muslim reign near about 1800 A.D. and conversion was continuing, therefore the Jameendar gave the Brahmins a place where they were in a minority. The Kashyap Gotriy Brahmin who still have internal faith in Kashyap Rishi (Raja Dasharath of Ayodhya and originator of Kashmir as the Pauranik History tells),[2] they kept the name of the village Ramapur, keeping in mind their faith in Shri Ram Chandra or Ram and Sita, Gods of the Hindus[3]. The village people worship mostly Kaali Jee along with other gods and they have higher faith in Purusharth and work is worship. The same situation occurred in the district name Aryamgarh (Field of Arayan),[4] so called in Hindi, and Azamgarh in Urdu, as both Hindus and Muslims (converted) have faith in their own holy land.
