This blog will quit your thrust about Sadulpur ( Rajgarh ). If we go back we will find the name of initial locality was "LUDI". Later on the rulers of BIKANER constructed a fort on the border of their state. The fort is called as "GARH" in Rajasthani language. The government is called as "RAJ". Thus the name of fort was "RAJGARH". As the primary facility were available in the fort the locality started to settle near the fort. The location was started to known as "RAJGARH" among nearby villages and localities. There is a village near to Rajgarh by the name of LUDI. There is also a locality in RAJGARH known as LUDIBAS. Ludi was a prominent center of education in nearby villages. The school of Ludi was aided by the King of Bikaner.
There is small interesting story related to the construction of fort. The local Jat community opposed the construction of FORT. The labor used to construct in the day and in the night the construction was destroyed by the Jat. This happened seven time in the eighth time the ruler of Bikaner ordered to capture and construct alive in the wall of Fort. This was happened. The four people were captured and put among the stones of the wall. The reason of oppose was that the local Jat were free from tax as there was no access of these location because due to border area. Due the establishment of fort the collection of tax would start.Thats why the local Jat used to oppose the construction of fort.
Geographically RAJGARH has its own identity. The plain around the Rajgarh is known as " RAJGARH KA MAIDAN ". It is situated among major towns as Churu, Taranagar,Bhadra, Siwani, Loharu, Pilani and Jhunjhnu. The plain of Rajgarh has high fertility power. It is known for BARANI CHANA ( rained gram or chick pea ) , MUNG ( green gram) and MOTH . Though the forest of Rajagarh were full of different vegetations. But the major trees were KAIR, JAAL, PHOG, KIKAR, ROHIDA, JANTI (Khejari) , AAKDA, SARKANA ( KUNCHA ), BUI, SANIA, KHINP and JHARI (Small Ber). All these are wild species. Today these species are available in local BIR (Forest). The famous forest area near to Rajgarh is LILAKI KA BIR. The variation of temperature is maximum among all the plains of India. The temperature vary from -1' C ( In winter) to 52' C ( In Sumer). The rain fall is average. Today no any river flow from the Plain of Rajgarh. But in the old days the KATARI river use to come in Rajgarh in the rainy season. The foot prints of the destruction of river are still available between the sand dunes. The main crop of Rajgarh plain is CHANA, BAJARA, MUNG, MOTH, GANWAR. The vegetables and fruits are also totally depend on rain. the major vegatables and fruits are Ganwar ki Fali, Moth ki fali, Katcher, Loeeya, Kair , Sangari, Ber, Peel, Matire, Kakadiya, the dehydrated form of vegetable is also used in off season.The major dehydrated vegetables are Kair ,Sangari, Katchari and Khelari. Even though there is no any special fruit is available in Plain of Rajgarh. But the PEEL is tasty as Chery. Here I would like to say peel as "Cherry of Rajgarh". The leafy form of vegetable are Lunji ( leaves of Gram), and Chanwlai is also use to cook in kitchens of Rajgarh. The flowers of Fog is used as spice. It is called FOGALIYO. The FOGALIYO is used to give the fragrance to the RAYATA.
Slowly and slowly the RAJGARH became as main center of business, becouse the protection of fort was available there. The businessmen of nearby villages came to Rajgarh and settled there. Today the surname of local businessmen indicate about there main village like Dokawewal, Changoiwala, Kisanpuria, Bhimsaria, Bairasaria.. etc. Later on the Mohata, Tikmani and Bagari became the main business family of Rajagarh. Some other businessmen started to settle in BENGAL, MADRAS, ASAM, BOMBAI.... still some family use the surname "RAJGARHIA". That indicate their origin from Rajgarh. The Mohata family played a leading role in development of Rajgarh. They constructed the temples, schools, colleges, hospitals, playgrounds and other basic facilities. The Tikamani family also tried to compete positively with Mohata's. They also constructed the temple, schools, well , Inn etc.... At that time in time of marriage or other socilal function people use to go these businessmen's Haveli to borrow the utensils and there was a positive competition in borrowing the essential luggage or good for social functions. This borrowing facility was free of cost. The main source of drinking water was JOHAR (pond) . There were two JOHAR in Rajgarh " PAKKALIA" and KACHCHALIA". There were also some "KUYE"( well) and " KUYEE "( small form of well).
At the time freedom movement Rajgarh was main center of movement. The Thakur of Kiasanpura were part of AZAD-HIND-FOJ. The people took actively participation in local level agitation for freedom movement. Ther was a meeting near to Sitala Mandir. the police stared to LATHI CHARGE on the meeting.the GUMATI of Sitala Mata Mandir became red due to blood of freedom fighters.
