History of Jessore kings

Especially the family history of Chalera King 1590 AD

It is seen in Bengal  history that  a terrible uprising occurred in 1580. Emperor Akbar sent Raja Todar Mal and later Azim Khan to repress this insurgency. Azim Khan arrived in 1582 and continued till 1583. A warrior named Bhabeshwar Rai was in Azim Khan's army. Who came with Azam Khan in this Bengal. When Azim Khan expressed his intention of living in this area, Azim Khan provided the Syedpur, Azimpur, Muragachha and Malikpur states occupied by Bhaveshwar Roy from Raja Pratapaditya.Through history, it is known that the valiant warrior Bhaveshwar Ray possessed this property until his death in 1588.

His successor was Mutabram Roy (1588-1619).From the last four years of his tenure, it is known that he used to pay the rent which he had never done before. Kandarp Roy(1619-1649) is the next successor to Mutabaram Rai.

Manohar Roy was succeeded by Nawab as the next successor of the states. He used to pay rent to the Nawabs. Under the circumstances, the outstanding of small states was owed for many days, which he paid alone and kept his zamindari. So we can see that the following parganas were under him during his zamindari:

1.Ramchandrapur    1682

2.Hasenpur      1689

3.Rangdiya and Rahimabad    1691

4.Chinggutiya   1691

5.Ishadpur   1696

6.Maloi,Sobnal and Sobna  1699

7. Shahos   1703

Besides, he acquired some small parganas, such as Talla, Patus, Bhatla and Calcutta.Manohar Ray is believed to be the true founder in this family.When he had acquired the zamindari it was a middle-class estate. But when he left it, it was the largest zamindari compared to its neighbors. The nature of the received list and its acquisition says that most of the parganas were in the time of his zamindars. The land that his former men had occupied in the name of the military service, and the land was occupied so much that he could be the owner of such land.Isadpura landlord, Kalidas Roy and was like him. There were also some parganas which were not part of large states like Hogala and Sultanpur. Thus it is seen that the kingdom of Jessore was established on the acquisition of all these neighboring parganas.

It is good to say here that the word king did not have any specific meaning.It does not mean any nobility with it. During this time, every big landlord took the title of king and in the official letters, the then authorities  address the kings of Naldanga, Jessore and Natore, sometimes in the name of the King and sometimes not .Manohar Roy died in 1122 AD and his son Krishna Ram used to own zamindari till 1729 AD.During his period, Maheshwarapasa Pargana was included in the zamindari. He purchased some parts of Bajitpur from Krishnanagar, Nadia.

Then Sukhdev Roy becamevthe king and Monohar's widow, wrote 4th part of the whole estate  in the name of his son Shyamsundar.As a result, the state is divided into two parts for the first time. Subsequently, Shukdev the son of Nilkamatna took the throne in 1152 with twelve part properties.

At that time, the East India Company received land grant from the Nawab near Kolkata and This allocation was given to the English from a zamindar land named Salauddin Khan. Later, Salauddin Khan can know that there is no heir to 4% of the wealth of  Shyam Sundar. Therefore, claiming ownership of the land on compensation for their previous land compensation. In this context, Nawab gave four percent of Shyam Sundar property to Salauddin Khan.

If Shyamsundar was not dead then this property of Jessore would never have been shared and no one else could enter this property. Most of the four shares of those shares were known as Saidpur State, which was in Syedpur Pargana. And the rest of the ten were brought to Isafapur State. Isafpur was the main pargana. King Srikumat died in 1802 and  his son and Binikamotmo was the heads of family. He was a pensioner of the government. Through the verdict of Supreme Court of 1808, he again became a landlord and left his pensionary allowance.

During his death, his son was a minor boy.He became heir in 1817. In the state  of his minorness, the state's calculations were settled in accordance with the Code Off Order Act. The brave pargana which is the oldest property in the family is restored by its government. Apart from those two parganas, there were also smaller parganas. During the Bardakanta Sepoy Rebellion, the representative of Burdowan, he then received  "King Bahadur" certificate was received by the government for his special contribution. The location of his family was very close to Jessore. But at the end he was away from Jessore.Four anna of sixteen anna property were under Sala Uddin Khan.  During the permanent settlement, the property was under a Muslim woman whose name was Munnujan. She was Salahuddin's widow and a good manager. He kept the property safe during the difficult settlement of the permanent settlement. In 1814, property of Mannujan came to his step brother Haji Muhammad Mohsin and Mahasin died in the year. Because he had no heir, he formed a trust for the development of the state's Imambara in Hughli, which has been increasing revenue since then to now.
