The realization of Raikut.

It dates back about 500 years back. There was a ruler named Hajo who defeated the Khens and ruled the westrn portion of Kamrup form 1510- 1587 A.D. The Kingdom of Hajo included western half of Assam, eastern half of Morung (Nepal,  Terai) and the lands bounded on the east by Dhaneswari river, on the west by Konki river and in the North by Dalimkotte hills (formally in Bhutan, now in the District of Darjeeling, West Bengal) and on the south up to Ghoraghat (now in East Pakistan). This formed the boundary of Hajo kingdom at that time.

Hajo had two daughters, Hiraand Jira. Both were married to one Haridas Mech of Mount Chikna (in Golpara Assam). Haridas Mech was the head of mech tribe of Goalpara . Jira’s  sons were Chandan and Madan and Hira’s son’s were Sishu and Bisu (Sishu elder and Bisu younger).  After defeating the ruler of Chikna, Chandan  was proclaimed king in the year 1510 and Madan was killed in the battle. This is the era that the state of Cooch-Bihar starts.

There is a story about the accession of Bisu Singh. After the marriage of Bisu Singh, the newly married wife went to Sishu to make customary obeisance. Sishu blessed her saying that she would be the queen consort. When  after  Chandan’s death preparation for the Coronation of Sishu, the eldest in the family was nearing completion, there Bisu’s  wife reminded him of his blessing. At this Sishu voluntarily abdicated and placed his younger brother Bisu on the throne. He then himself held the Royale Umbrella on his head which was the duty of a vassal. On account of this great sacrifice Sishu was allowed to choose the Baikunthopur area to establish his kingdom and was made “RAIKUT” that is Commander in chief or the head man of the family and hereditary Chief Minister.
