Early life

Chhavviram Singh was a resident of Auchha village in Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh. At the age of twenty, he became a dacoit. Gradually his terror increased. He had spread panic in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan by dacoity and murder. People trembled with fear of him. Even the police did not dare to confront him. Around 1978, Chhaviram had become another name for the terrorist. His gang was accused of killing an MLA and burying the dead body in the ground. He projected himself as the messiah of the Yadava people. VP Singh became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in June 1980. At that time, dacoits were dominant in Uttar Pradesh. Phulan Devi had killed 20 people in 1981. Meanwhile, Chiviram's terror was also increasing. Then VP Singh had launched a big campaign of eradication of bandits in Uttar Pradesh. The government announced a reward of one lakh rupees for the capture of Chhaviram. But the police could not catch him. Dacoit Chhavi Ram had become synonymous with terror in the entire state. District Eta was considered as the place of refuge of Dasyu Chaviram. Police forces were setting up camps in Aliganj area. 7 August 1981 became the day of call for Uttar Pradesh Police. The then Police Station in-charge of Aliganj, Rajpal Singh was eagerly waiting for this day. On the information of the informer, Inspector Rajpal Singh reached Nathuapur village along with his companions. Where 60-70 crooks were gathered. But Inspector Rajpal was not scared and got crowded with him. In this encounter that lasted for hours, the bullets fell short with the police. Due to which the dacoit Chhaviram brutally killed nine policemen including Inspector Rajpal Singh by laying siege from all sides. Three villagers also died in this. in early 1982, Chhaviram kidnapped the circle officer of Aliganj tehsil of Etah district. He suspected that the administration was torturing his supporters to get his clue. Chhaviram had challenged the government in a way by kidnapping the Circle Officer of Police. Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister at that time. The incident brought a blow to the image of the government. Indira Gandhi is said to have given tacit consent to VP Singh to kill Chhaviram. At the behest of Indira Gandhi, the governments of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan issued warrants. Considering this incident of 1981 as a challenge, the then Chief Minister VP Singh made a plan to eliminate the dacoit Chhaviram and after two years, the Uttar Pradesh Police made the state fear-free by encountering the dacoit Chhaviram. [2] During this, SSP Vikram Singh took over in Etah, Uttar Pradesh. Who later became the Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh Police in 2007. [3] [4]

Although India is a parliamentary democracy, the country's politics has become dynastic or with high level of nepotism, possibly due to the absence of party organizations, independent civil-society associations which mobilize support for a party, or centralized financing of elections. The dynastic phenomenon is present at the national, state, regional, and district level. The Nehru–Gandhi family has produced three Indian prime ministers, and family members have largely led the Congress party since 1978. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has several senior dynastic leaders.
