DHOOM  MANIKPUR

Roots of Rawal Family of Amka stretch out to Dhoom Manikpur, a village about 1.5 kilometres north of Amka. Thakur Ranjit Singh son of Thakur Vijay Raj was a contemporary of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II who ruled India from 1759-1806. Thakur Ranjit Singh had five sons namely 1. Thakur Mohar Singh 2. Thakur Jhoom Singh 3. Thakur Sipahi Singh 4. Thakur Ram Dayal Singh and 5. Thakur Dharam Singh. Thakur Mohar Singh who was the eldest son of Thakur Ranjit Singh established Amka in 1818. The descendents of other four brothers continued to live in Dhoom Manikpur. Till about fifties of last century, there was no difference between the families of two villages. They used to frequently visit each other on every occasion like birth, marriages, death or any other social or religious functions.
Subsequently, with the passage of time, as the numbers of family members grew both in Amka and Dhoom Manikpur, the socialisation of two families gradually declined. However, for the purpose of this website, they are still our respected kin. Therefore,  we  have included  prominent personalities of Dhoom Manikpur in the website under section ‘DHOOM MANIKPUR”.  Please provided as much information for this section of the website along with photographs and brief narration
