Commemorating a Legacy: Thakur Ram Singh’s 111th Jayanti at Neri, Hamirpur

Hamirpur (Neri) — The Thakur Ram Singh Itihas Shodh Sansthan is all set to commemorate the 111th birth anniversary of its revered founder and legendary historian, Thakur Ram Singh, on Sunday, February 15, 2026. The event, held at the institute's headquarters in Neri, Hamirpur, will celebrate the life of a man whose tireless efforts shifted the perspective of Indian history back to its indigenous roots.

A Life Dedicated to National Awakening

Born in the village of Jhandwi in 1915, Thakur Ram Singh was a brilliant academic who topped his M.A. in History at Lahore. Choosing a life of service over a prestigious academic career, he became a dedicated Pracharak of the RSS. His greatest contribution remains the establishment of the Akhil Bharatiya Itihas Sankalan Yojana, through which he connected scholars across the country to document history through a nationalist lens.

Event Schedule and Highlights

The celebrations will blend spiritual reverence with academic discourse:

  • Spiritual Commencement: The day begins with a Havan Yagya at 8:00 AM, followed by soulful Bhajan-Kirtan performances until 10:30 AM.
  • Symbol of Inspiration: A monumental highlight will be the unveiling of the statue of Thakur Ram Singh at 10:45 AM, serving as a permanent tribute to his guidance.
  • Literary Milestones: The institute will mark this occasion by releasing several groundbreaking publications, including works on the Cultural Heritage of Himachal Pradesh and Vedic contexts in the Western Himalayas from the Rigveda.
  • Public Assembly: A formal public program starting at 11:00 AM will host dignitaries and scholars to discuss the ongoing impact of Thakur Ram Singh's research methodology.
  • Community Feast: In the spirit of inclusive tradition, a community meal including Shivratri Phalahar (fast-appropriate food) will be served starting at 1:45 PM.

Vision for the Future

Thakur Ram Singh believed that history, art, and culture are the pillars of a nation's collective consciousness. Today, the institute continues his mission through ambitious projects like the six-volume Comprehensive History of Himachal Pradesh and research into the social structures of the Himalayas.

The President, Prof. Bhag Chand Chauhan, and General Secretary, Bhumidutt Sharma, have extended a warm invitation to the public to join this family-friendly celebration of history and heritage.
