Obituary: This short biography is about my moms early life, the family and the environment in which she grew up in both Punjab and Utter Pradesh, and when she came to America. She was born in Happowal, a small sized village just NW of Banga, Punjab on (or thereabout since actual birth dates were not commonly recorded in those days) 26, 1925. Her fathers name was Banta Singh Kandola and mothers maiden name was Bishan (commonly known as Biso) Kaur Rai. Her father was the youngest of three brothers and one sister. Her babajis name was Narain Singh. Her mom had two brothers, Bishna and Hazara, who lived in Gunachaur. Her Nani was Kaymee. Mom had one elder sister, Sis Kaur, and three younger brothers Bhukhan, Sadhu and Malkit. So she grew up surrounded by many family members, as well as many village girls of her age in both Happowal and Gunachaur. There was no lonely time for her, she was well cared for and loved by her parents and grandparents. Village life those days was not much different than that existed for many centuries. There were no indoor toilets, no paved roads, and no means of transport other than oxen-drawn carts, wagons, or horse-drawn carriage (tangas). Rail was the only mode of transportation, provided one could afford that. Very few people traveled farther than a few miles from their villages. There was only one bus on the main dirt road that made only few stops in cities. Some never went to town during their lifetime. Although my mom was a gifted child, she was not allowed to go to school; those days education took back seat for girls. Even for boys education was not a priority, plowing fields and taking care of animals was top priority. So she grew up cooking, spinning cotton, knitting, carrying food to field workers. She helped with bringing water from the wells. Hand water pumps were rare those days. She helped with milking buffaloes in the afternoon, in the morning, along with her sister Sis Kaur, helped to churn the milk in a big clay vessel (rirkana) with a madhani to make butter (ghee) and buttermilk (lassi). There was a plenty of time for village girls to socialize, sing folk songs, play rudimentary games, play hide and seek, in other words, she had a lot of fun growing up in a village. Many times girls got together in the evening to spun cotton and sing religious and folk songs. There was plenty of story (baats) telling at night time. There was plenty of food, all types of brass utensils, thalis, shanas, pateelas, garvas, and large clay vessels for storing water and grain. It was a great life, the only life they knew. There were no radios, television, phones, electric power or paved roads. Only light at night time, if any, was with divas (lamps) that used mustard oil or crude (mitti) oil. In 1938 she got married. She was only 13 years old. It was common those days for girls to be married at that age. The wedding itself was a three days affair. My grandfather Dalip Singh, my father, relatives, along with village males (it was custom that only males from the groom side attended the wedding) came on oxen drawn carts, carriages to Happowal for the wedding ceremony. (Our father loved racing oxen drawn carriages.) stayed there for 3 days. were taken well care of by the moms immediate family members, village folks, who shared their housing, bedding, and other necessities. were well fed around the clock, given plenty of liquor to drink, and sweets to eat. The ladies sang folk songs throughout the nights. It was a big, happy affair. Mom, along with her guard nain, went in a dolli (carriage) joined by the grooms party to Thandian. Mom and dad were not allowed to see each other that night. Next day she returned to Happowal. Then came her maklava, time when the wife actually starts living at her husbands house, at the time she was 17, she was escorted to Thandian. Her father gave her many gifts, including a large santhuk filled with bundles of clothes, gold jewelry (earrings, large necklaces, and bangles angas ) and 101 rupees cash (about 25 dollars in those days, considered a large sum of money during that time). In 1941, unexpectedly her father Banta Singh died. It devastated the whole family. Mourning lasted for years. My mom was very close to her father. She said he was very gentle, affectionate and kind hearted person. It was a big personal loss to her. Then in 1943, her mom and her tiaji Chanda Singh decided to move to Ranipur, near Palia in Utter Pradesh. (The family kept the farm in Happowal.) The land in Ranipur was cheap, had a plenty of irrigation water, soil was very fertile, so it would be a good move for them. developed the land and became very successful there. The move was somewhat similar to those families who migrated from Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas, after the dust bowl period in 1930s, to California. During our periodic travel to Ranipur, we would take train from Banga, then change at Phagwara to go through Flor, Luthiana, Ambala, Saharnpur, to Bareily. Then again change trains that went through Pilibhit, Puranpur to Mailani. Then again change trains to go to Palia Kalan, and finally walk to Ranipur. Typically it took 3 days, sometimes four if we missed the train connection, which was not uncommon. Many times at the Mailani train station, awhile waiting outdoors whole night for the connecting train, we would had to endure harsh black dust storms (kali mitti kut) during the summers and very harsh cold weather during the winter months. At Ranipur, at her moms house, she was treated like a queen. Her brothers, mother and mamiji (Harbans Kaur) made sure that she enjoyed her 6 months to a year stay there. She quickly learned continued... |
