Early life edit

Jang Bahadur Singh was born in Kausar Village of Siwan district of Bihar on 10 December 1920.[13] His father Vishun Singh was a farmer and her mother Dharohara Devi was a home-maker. His father had nine sons from three marriages. His father left his mother alone with three sons. She brought up all three children on her own. He is second in all three. His one younger brother named Ramdev Singh was a famous labour leader.[14] At the age of 22-23, Jang Bahadur had come to his younger brother, Ramdev Singh, in Coalfield, Shivpur Koilary of Jharia, Dhanbad.[15] There, He participated in Wrestling match. He was representing Bihar in that wrestling battle. A wrestler of about three quintals fighting from the Bengal side was very famous in those times. He had been never defeated in any wrestling match. But, Jang Bahadur defeated him in that Dhanbad match and got a title Sher-e-Biharin that match. After that he started wrestling in all over Bengal and Bihar Region.[16][17][18]

Career in wrestling and singing edit

Jang Bahadur Singh participated in wrestling matches in his early twenties. But those matches were not giving him any monetary benefit. So, he had to shift his focus from wrestling to a job in Sen Raleigh Bicycle Company in Asansol. Though he had been fighting in small wrestling competitions.[19][20][21] Once he was attending a local music concert known as Dugola. Three popular singers of that time were together defeating a singer in musical battle called Dugola. Jang Bahadur Singh, sitting as a spectator, opposed this. Those singers challenged him to come in the musical battle and sing with them. A wrestler at heart took up this dare. He started practicing music and later defeated those all three singers in different musical battles or Dugola.[22] And a wrestler became a singer.[23][24][25]

Jang Bahadur Singh started singing songs filled with inspiring stories of Ramayana, Characters of Mahabharata, Bhishma, Karna, Kunti, Draupadi, Sita, Bharat, Ram. It was mid forties of 20th century, freedom struggle was rising in the country. He was young and patriotic. He started singing patriotic songs narrating courageous stories of Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Veer Abdul Hamid, Mahatma Gandhi etc. on various public gatherings and rebellion-meetings.[26][27] Gradually, he became very popular in the Bhojpuri public. Then there was such a period that even if Jang Bahadur did not attend the event, the organizers used to put his picture on the poster-banner to mobilize the crowd.[28] This came into notice of British Authorities. British officers threatened him to stop singing rebellious songs or be ready to face dire consequences. He pays no heed to them and started singing those songs more vocally. The British were irked of his doings and imprisoned him for months.[29][30][31][32][33]
