All these places are in madhubani district of bihar He was the dazzling source of hope for the toiling masses and a powerful orator. Com Bhogendra jha while traveling by Swantarta Senani Express train from Delhi to darbhanga on 11.01.2009 seriously fell ill in the midway and was hospitalized in the district hospital of Balia (UP) wherefrom shifted to DMCH and finally on 15.01.2009 to the AIIMS where he breathed his last on 20.01.2009 by 7:30pm. He has left three sons and thousands & thousands of followers and admirers behind him. He was the eldest son of his parents –Smt Kameshwari Devi & Pt. Vanshmani Jha of village Barha . He was born on 9th August 1922. He was schooled in middle school Benipatti & GMSS High School Madhubani from where he passed the matriculation examination in first division in1941. He was admitted in mithila College Darbhanga in I.A. Bestowed with keen intellect & presence of mind from his very childhood he turned into a versatile genius. He left the institutional Studies during the “Quit India Movement” forever but remained voraciously studious till the end of life. By dint of self studies he acquired pedantic knowledge of the Vedas, the Ramayan, the Mahabharat, Upanishads, Puranas, Koran, Bible, the Indian philosophy and Marxist philosophy & so many schools of education. He represented the Jaynagar/ Madhubani constituency of the fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth& tenth Lok Sabha and spent a significant twenty years in Lok Sabha from 1967 to 1996 and spoke on almost all vital National and International issues effectively. He combined Quit India movement (against the party line) with people’s war with a self created slogan – Ham Apani Azadi Lenge Larna Hai Japan Se. Apani Raksha Desh Ki Raksha Aap karenge Shan Se. He demolished zamindari and feudal remnants without shedding a drop of blood of any landlord despite the fact that during land movement in Madhubani districts over six dozen of beloved leader like Com Paltu Yadav, Santu Mahto and other several workers of the party were martyred by the police and gunda collaboration of zamindar. He adopted the idea of non-violence with the high philosophy of “Hatya Nahi, Kranti Vijayee Ho, Sab Jangan Ka Ho Kalyan. Are Krantikari ! O Yogi ! ‘Krantiyog’ Ka Mangal Gan. The distribution of land among the toiling masses and homestead parchas to over three and half lakhs of homeless people is a glorious record of success of the land struggle launched by the CPI under the leadership of Com B Jha. His latest and highest ambition of life was the construction of ‘High Dams’ on rivers Koshi and Kamla respectively at Barah Kshetra and Shishapani as the “Permanent Solution” against devastation of floods & droughts and power crisis of Bihar. It is worth mentioning that by dint of Com B Jha’s herculean efforts the agreement between His Majesty Govt. of Nepal and the Govt. of India was completed and the operationalisation of the same is well-pending out of seven offices, four have been constructed in Nepal whereas rest three have to be constructed in Bihar for which both the previous and present Govt. have adopted the strategy of turning a deaf ear to it and having special interest in spending crores and crores of rupees in flood relief funds. Now when Com Bhogendra Jha is no more, his followers, admirers, the toiling masses and people in general, political parties and mass organizations pledged for the development and betterment of Bihar have to move forward and shoulder the responsibility. This will be real tribute to the departed soul of Com Bhogendra Jha who was lovingly addressed as “Bhogi Bhagwan” after he survived the 4th January 1947 fatal attack for his murder during which Com Paltu Yadav and Sant Khatbe dedicated their lives to protect Com Bhogendra Jee. The floral tribute has of course significance but genuine tribute to the great revolutionary fighter and philosopher, poet and writer veteran parliamentarian, powerful orator and at the same time emblem of truthfulness, honesty and high moral character will be launching the fruitful and effective movement for construction of the ‘High Dams’
