History

Duncan MacLaren Young Sommerville Or DMY Sommerville

Beawar [ ब्यावर ] was founded by Colonel Dixon in 1835. Beawar was part of British India, and the administrative headquarters of Merwara district. Since the ancient days, the region where Beawar lies is called Magra-Merwaran, and it was named after a local village called Beawar Khas by the British. This region was ruled by fierce tribes;the Kathats (Muslim Rajputs) and Rawat Rajputs, British tried to subdue them were unsuccessfull because thes tribes were scattered accross many small villages and they were excellent in conducting Guerilla warfare. The battle of Shyamgarh was fought between the Kathats and British. The British won and Kathats abandoned the fort of shyamgarh,but employed Guerilla tactics causing great loss to the British. So British founded a military cantonment with fortified walls for protection and further military missions.Another factor involved in building cantonment here was, Beawar is situated at strategic tri-junction of the royal states of Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. To keep the menace of Kathats and Rawat-Rajputs at bay, British raised a battalion enrolling Kathats and Rawat-Rajputs (designating them as a Martial Race) and named it Magra-Merwara battalion. They used this Battalion for further military missions which proved quite efficient.According to a legend British put a sign board of Be-aware as a warning to the British caravans and officers leaving the cantonment or crossing the cantonment. Slowly with time the local people came to think of it as the name of the cantonment and so the cantonment begun to be called Beawar. It is a subdivisional headquarters.

It is the birth-place of international classic mathematician Duncan Sommerville.

Arya Samaj

Arya Samaj (Sanskrit ārya samāja आर्य समाज "Arya Society") is a Hindu reform movement founded by Swami Dayananda on April 10, 1875. He was a sannyasi who believed in the infallible authority of the Vedas. Dayananda emphasized the ideals of brahmacharya (chastity). There are 3–4 million followers of Arya Samaj worldwide.

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati (Devanagari: स्‍वामी दयानन्‍द सरस्‍वती, Gujarati: મહષિૅ દયાનંદ સરસ્વતી) (12 February 1824 – 30 October 1883) was an important Hindu religious scholar, reformer, and founder of the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reformist movement. He was the first to give the call for Swarajya – "India for Indians" – in 1876, later taken up by Lokmanya Tilak. Denouncing the idolatry and ritualistic worship prevalent in Hinduism at the time, he worked towards reviving Vedic ideologies. Subsequently the philosopher and President of India, S. Radhakrishnan, called him one of "makers of Modern India," as did Sri Aurobindo.
