Origin & Youth

Mohammad Aeltemesh was born the first of the nine children of to Mohammad Murtaza (1917-1994) and Saiyeda Khatoon (1934-2004) on 4 August 1948 at a house in Giridih Bazar, District Hazari Bagh, Bihar, India. After his birth his father found him to be of the size of his palm and he named him ‘Nanhe’ (meaning tiny). However at the time of admission to his first School his year of birth was entered as 4 August 1950.

Being the first child he was taken much care of. In 1955 when at Sindri (Bihar, India) he was sent to Kinter Garten School at Sheherpura which is his first school.

Thereafter the second school to which he was sent was De Nobili School, Digwadih, Dhanbad, where he studied for few months and as a consequence to the transfer of his father to Jamshedpur, he was sent to Islamia School, Sakchi, Jamshedpur, Bihar for two months to learn Arabic and was thereafter admitted to Loyola School, Jamshedpur.

As he grew older he was sent to hostel in The Bishop Westcott Boys' School, Namkum, Ranchi, where he studied in class 2 and 3 but was withdrawn from the school because he received an injury on his head/skull because of which his eyesight had become weak. In addition to learning good English he also learn boxing.

Thereafter he was sent to St. Peter’s School, Asansol, West Bengal to study in Std. 4 but he constantly remained sick so was brought back to The Bishop Westcott Boys' School, Namkum, Ranchi where he completed his class 4 and was brought thereafter to live with his parents at Bhilai.

He studied in class 6th – 8th in the Bhilai English Medium School, Sector-1, Bhilai and then Bhilai Vidyalaya, Sector 2 Bhilai and then Bhilai English Medium School Sector 7, Bhilai from where he had to be withdrawn as he could not pickup Sanskrit.

Thereafter he was sent to Nagpur where he studied from 9th to 11th in the Anjuman Multi Purpose Higher Secondary School. While at Nagpur he received NCC training and attended NCC Camps. In debate competition he stood first and was awarded special award by Justice Kotwal who was acting governor of Maharashtra at that time.

He also participated in a school stage show and incidentally played the role of a lawyer and went on to cross examine the person who was playing the role of a thief and surprisingly the cross-examination was from out of the script as he had forgotten his script.

In the science exhibition at the school he had designed and prepared a machine wherein if 10 paisa coin if put in from top of it would deliver a match box from below. He was awarded for this exhibit so much so that the owner / director of the Hitwada Press who was visiting the school exhibition as one of the Hon’ble Guests expressed his desire to use the design for his press such that alphabets would be coming out upon typing for setting of the newspaper instead of the then manual process.

Ultimately he finished his Higher secondary from Vidharbha Education Board. After which his father got him a one month vocational training in the Bhilai technical institute. Thereafter sent to Science College Durg where he got the first prize in Inter-college Debate competition and was selected as the best fancy dress competition.

He then went to Raipur science college M.P. from where he represented the Ravishankar University at the all India debate competition held at Bombay.

Thereafter, he was sent to Ranchi from where he did his graduation, Post-graduation MA in Political Science, and LLB.

His father came down to visit him at Ranchi and saw a full-fledged art factory running within the premises one use of which was used for residential purposes. Consequently his father got the factory winded up and got to Bhilai as they had a building big enough to house the said factory and as Aeltemesh wanted to pursue his studies simultaneously.

The Rein Empire

In the mean time while studying at Ranchi he had been requested by some leading families to give private tuition to their children for which he was paid sufficient enough all of which money he saved by opening his first ever account in a bank near the university. Finding sufficient money in his account after sometime he ventured into designing and making wood leth machines and hired a premises where he installed the same and hired the services of artisans and painters. He designed wooden show pieces and began to get them manufactured in his said premises which he named as Rein India Artorium. He would take his so manufactured show pieces to Bombay, Calcutta and Madras and used to supply them to various shop keepers including to Khadi Gram Udyog Bhandar, Bombay. And it happened that a customer of the said Khadi Bhandar who was purchasing the said showpieces from that shop appreciated the artistic work and wanted to know who was the manufacturer. That the shopkeeper apprised him that incidentally the young man was here and incidentally introduced them to each other. This gentleman was the sales manager in one of the cotton mills in Mumbai. The said Sales Manager was so pleased that he invited Aeltemesh to his office where he showed a wooden part called picking sticks used for weaving and asked if that stick could be manufactured by Aeltemesh as it was manufactured on wooden leth machines form extremely hard compressed wood. The challenge was accepted by Aeltemesh who then searched for wood that could be stronger than the compressed wood or at least as strong as the compressed wood. In the process he reached the forest department and learnt about auctioning of forest wood in the forest by the department of many kinds of wood including the one "Sajja". This wood was auction purchased by Aeltemesh and special Sowing machine was used to cut the wood and further special Stainless steel cutters were used on these would leth machines and finally succeeded in manufacturing the picking sticks which got approved by the concerned Department. Of the cotton mills and he began to supply these picking sticks to various mills including Kohinoor Mills Bombay, Binny Cotton Mills, Madras,; Empress Cotton Mills, Calcutta. Etc. that in the process he again came across a gentleman in one of these mills who asked him to manufacture another part which was made of steel used under weaving machine. He came back with the sample to Bhilai got made the steel picking shaft and began to supply the same to various cotton mills and weaving plants. And his Rein India Artorium graduated to Rein India Industrial and Engineering Manufacturers.

He was allotted an industrial plot in the Bhilai Industrial Estate for the purpose which somehow he did not use and in the meantime at Durg an exhibition was held by the Small Scale, which was to be visited by the then Chief Minister Mr. Shama Charan Shukla of Madhya Pradesh. And when the Chief Minister came to his stall a gift consisting of all the attractive show pieces in his Rein India Artorium were presented.

Thereafter he visited Bhopal, (M.P) and met the Chief Minister at his residence, he fortunately meet the director of a certain department who needed hundreds of thousands of tables, benches and chairs for several schools that were being opened in several districts throughout the state of Madhya Pradesh. The said Director gave Aeltemesh his first ever big contract to manufacture chairs, tables, desks and benches, for several schools in various districts within Madhya Pradesh. Aeltemesh manufactured the furniture under the banner of Rein India Industrial Manufacturing Company.

That during this process, he came across some officers of Bhilai Steel Plant who upon seeing that such huge quantity of furniture were being manufactured and being transported from Bhilai to various other districts in Madhya Pradesh by Aeltemesh, he was granted a contract to lift and transport coke from inside the Bhilai Steel Plant to various Co-operative Society Stores in the various sectors in Bhilai which the societies were expected to distribute to the employees of Bhilai Steel Plant for their household. And thus came to be added the new firm Rein India Material Handlers and Transporters.

That further in the process he came across some high officers of the Bhilai Steel Plant who thought it fit to award him contract to construct huge school building complexes in four sectors of Bhilai. And thus came into being Rein India Construction Corporation Engineer and Engineers.

However, Aeltemesh being a man of principles never accepted any bribe nor could stand anyone who demanded bribe. Consequently his Rein India Construction Corporation faced serious turmoil as his contract was got cancelled and his materials taken possession of and the contract given to some other person, and thus forcing him to rush to the court.

And he had to file his suit in person in the Court of the District Judge, Durg, against refusal and ultimately to the Supreme Court of India claiming a sum of Rs. 27273273.74/- against the Hindustan Steel Limited. And thus during the process of arguing one of his matter the Hon’ble Chief Justice Y.V. Chandrachurd in open court complemented Aeltemesh and expressed that Supreme Court wanted lawyers like him and that he should come and practice rather than be involved in the business and thus began his journey as a lawyer.
