History of Rajgarh Sadulpur Nagarik Parishad, Kolkata
सन् 1976 में राजगढ़–सादुलपुर की धरती से जुड़े कुछ दूरदर्शी और समान विचारधारा वाले नागरिक समय–समय पर अनौपचारिक रूप से एकत्रित होते रहे। जीवन की व्यस्तताओं और भौगोलिक दूरियों के बावजूद, अपने जन्मस्थान के प्रति प्रेम, गाँव से जुड़ी स्मृतियाँ और बचपन के संस्कार उन्हें निरंतर एक सूत्र में बाँधे हुए थे।
इन बैठकों के दौरान यह गहरी समझ विकसित हुई कि समय के साथ–साथ राजगढ़–सादुलपुर के निवासी एवं उनके निकट संबंधी अपनी मातृभूमि से धीरे–धीरे दूर होते चले जाएँगे। यदि कोई संगठित प्रयास नहीं किया गया, तो आने वाली पीढ़ियों का अपने मूल, संस्कृति और सामाजिक पहचान से जुड़ाव कमजोर पड़ सकता है।
इसी दूरदृष्टि के साथ यह विचार जन्मा कि एक ऐसा मंच बनाया जाए, जो न केवल लोगों को उनके आधार—राजगढ़–सादुलपुर—से जोड़े रखे, बल्कि राजस्थान के बाहर भी एक सशक्त, संगठित और जीवंत समुदाय का निर्माण करे। यह मंच भावनात्मक जुड़ाव, सामाजिक सहभागिता और सांस्कृतिक निरंतरता का माध्यम बने—यही उसका मूल उद्देश्य था।
इस सामूहिक सोच और दृढ़ निश्चय को सन् 1976 में एक काग़ज़ पर अंकित कर औपचारिक रूप प्रदान किया गया। तत्पश्चात गाँव तथा आसपास के क्षेत्रों से अधिकाधिक लोगों को जोड़ते हुए इस पहल को संगठित स्वरूप दिया गया और “राजगढ़–सादुलपुर नागरिक परिषद” का विधिवत गठन हुआ।
Historical Background
Rajgarh has historically been an integral part of the Shekhawati region, renowned for its enterprising Marwari merchant families, trade networks, and vibrant cultural traditions. The town developed as a key trade and transit center connecting Rajasthan with Haryana.
During the princely era, Rajgarh came under the administration of the Bikaner State, following earlier influence of local Thakurs and Rajput rulers. The expansion of the railway network during the British period significantly contributed to Rajgarh’s growth, transforming it into an important commercial and railway hub.
Name & Significance
The name “Rajgarh” literally means “Fort of Kings” (Raj meaning king and Garh meaning fort), reflecting its historical stature. The name “Sadulpur” was officially adopted in 1920, in honor of Maharaja Sri Sadul Singhji, the then ruler of the princely state of Bikaner. While Sadulpur is the official name, the town is popularly known as Rajgarh among locals.
