User:Mamupur

Mamupuris a tiny sleepy village in Mohali District, Punjab, India. This village originally belonged to erstwhile PEPSU state, then Patiala district till 1968. In 1968 it came to Ropar district during reorganization of district boundaries. In 2007 a new new district was carved by the name Mohali and Mamupur forms part of Mohali district these days.

It is considered that this village was settled by a person by the name Mamu Khan earlier in the history. The exact year is just a wild guess, which no body seems to know.

Till very recently in the seventies the village nearly remained very much with in the red line, the village boundary physically and not many people from this village left the village to move out to other parts of India or the world.

Three or four persons moved to erstwhile Malaya, now known as Malasia from this village in 18th century. Some of them took the rest of the members of their families with them for permanent to settle down, whereas some returned to their native place in their older ages,

Now a days you will find people from this village in many parts of the world, including Canada, USA, Australia and Italy.

So far the not many people from this place have gone to universities. The village remained more or less illiterate till fifties. After partition in 1949 and developing Chandigarh as the new capital of truncated Punjab the people from this village had access to education including Punjab University at Chandigarh.

However two or three people completed matriculation early in 1920's from Khalsa High School Kharar. One of the was Bakhshis Singh Dhaliwal (1898-1989. He however did not prefer to go after job and looked after his land only and remained occupied in agriculture.

Recently some of the tech savvy kids from this village are showing up on the internet are proud to belong to Mamupur as when google for Mamupur you will find many such signatures of their presence.
