Glorious Past of Mandal Family of Murho Estate : Babu Bhuvneshwari Prasad Mandal, Elected member of Bihar Orissa Legislative Council in 1923.

 Babu Bhuvneshwari Prasad Mandal, eldest son of Babu Rash Behari Lal Mandal, Freedom Fighter, Social reformer and founder Member of Indian National Congress from Bihar, (the other two sons being Babu Kamleshwari Parasad Mandal and Babu Bindeshwari Prasad Mandal or #BPMandal ), my grandfather, was elected to Bihar Orissa Legislative Council in 1923, from a constituency three or four times bigger than todays Parliamentary Constituency.

The Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms enacted through the Government of India Act 1919 expanded the Bihar & Orissa Legislative Council from 43 to 103 members. The Legislative Council now consisted of 2 ex-officio Executive Councillors, 25 nominated members (12 official, 13 non-official) and 76 elected members (48 Non-Muslim, 18 Muslim, 1 European, 3 Commerce & Industry, 5 Landholders and 1 University constituencies). The reforms also introduced the principle of dyarchy, whereby certain responsibilities such as agriculture, health, education, and local government, were transferred to elected ministers.
In the election held for the expanded house in 1923, of the 103 members, he was the only member belonging to the Backward Classes elected in the house from Central Bhagalpur Non Muhammadan Rural Constituency Number 54 in the List.
Two members of Depressed Classes were nominated.
All the other members belonged to upper caste.
I am sharing his photo in which his elsest son Justice Rajeshwar Prasad Mandal is also seen holding a lawn tennis racket, and the image of the List of Hon'ble Members which has his name in the first page in his own handwriting.
