Our Grand Father Late Govinda Raj Moktan was born in Bhojpur on 1982 BS (1925 AD). He was first child of Late J.Man Bahadur Moktan (Great Grand-Father) – further can be refer in family tree. Providentially, he was privileged to pursue his study at ‘Durbar High School, Kathmandu’ due to influence of his father. On such particular period of time, commoners were not allowed to seek education hence he is denoted here to be fortunate.

Late J.Man Bahadur Moktan was appointed as ‘Zamdar’ (in today’s term Jailor/Major/Thanedar) by the current Nepal’s Administration (The Rana Regime). It is said that he was assign to look after, to administrate the North-East region of Nepal, to be particulate Khotang, Shankhuwa-Sabha, Okhaldunga upto Dhankuta & Bhedetar. Testimony referred from Bansi Raj Moktan, statement by Bhedetar’s inherent Limbu clans. In mid 2003 BS (1946 AD), Late. Govinda Raj Moktan completed his SLC (School Leaving Certificate) and immediately appointed as “Mukhiya” (Ranked as Office Administrative) in Singha Durbar. Disappointed to his placement allocated by the Authority as his school counterparts from Aryan origins were given higher ranks and responsibilities, he drifted back to Bhojpur & descend then to Dharan permanently on 2006 BS (1949 AD).

During his phase of life around the capital suburb, he got to know, understand and learn on the on-going movement of ‘Nepalese Revolutionary’ against the autocratic Rana Regime. He was generously engrossed on the movement of the Nepalese Revolution, later on by the four martyrs, active during that particular phase of time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Nepal.

Meanwhile on the eastern part of Nepal, the Communist party was getting subversively forming-up in-lead of Late Man Mohan Adhikari (1920-1999 AD), later as 31st Prime Minster of Nepal. Late Adhikari was arrested along with Girija Prasad Koirala and Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala during their strike in the Biratnagar Jute mill and was arrested & taken to Kathmandu via land route, dated march 1947 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Mohan_Adhikari

In-process of revolting the Rana Oligarchy, our ancestral house located at Bhotepul, Dharan was eternal hub for lefties-communist cadres. Most of their clandestine meetings were held here. After down-fall of Rana Regime in 2007 BS (1950 AD), Late Moktan diversely influx himself on social-political activities. He later chaired as ‘Ward Adhakchye’ for Dharan 7 on 2019 BS (1962 AD) and pursue further to his interest as ‘Pradhan Pancha’ (in today’s term Mayor) of Dharan 1925-31 BS (1968-74 AD). Some of his high-value achievements for Dharan during his service as public representative were:- •	Shardu Watershed Catchment Protection •	Town Planning & Utility Development •	Diversifying Society and Social reformation •	Education Enhancement and Promotion

His entire phase of life around Dharan & outskirts passed-on helping needy and proactively engaging himself on the reformation of diverse society. He was typically renowned and tagged as ‘Mukhiya Ba’ (for his previous history working as Mukhiya for Rana Regime and being generous with public). On the dawn of 2nd Mansir, 2039 (17th Nov, 1982) he had ill-fated stroke whilst travelling towards terai belt (Tarahara). His sad demise was later verified as due to brain hemorrhage. To conclude on the above antiquity, I intend to put on one of humorous incident connecting to our Late Great Grand Father J.Man Bahadur and Late. Man Mohan Adhikari. During peak meeting session among comrades at our ancestry home at Bhotepul, Dharan, on that particular intensifying environment of revolting decision, Mr. Adhikari got urgent nature’s call and he had to pass it anyhow. He desperately run towards backyard garden to released his pressure unknown(ly) to pumpkin shrubs scampering it. This was seen by Late. J. Man Bahadur who happens to be on his retirement phase of life. To see his dearly grown getting trampled (& pee’d), he lose his temper instantly and as result he frenziedly whacked Late Man Mohan on-action from behind with fire-wood (‘Chirpat’). Entire squad of comrades had to flee the scene as grumpy old man got disappointment to his nerves. :-D
