== Early life == Chaudhary Charan Singh was from [[Noorpur Hapur|Noorpur]] in western [[Uttar Pradesh]] born in [[Tewatia]] clan [[Jat]] family. Like [[Sir Chhotu Ram]], he came from a rural, peasant family and went on to become a lawyer. His father Mir Singh was a tenant-peasant of 5 acres in [[Noorpur Hapur|Noorpur]]. Thus Charan Singh was born into a poor, small tenant peasant family, not a landlord at all. Both of them promoted the concept of a united rural community, encompassing not only the Jats, but others as well. And both of them shared a common concern about the exploitative nature of the brahman-bania combine in those days. [[File:Meer Singh and Netrakaur Parents of Charan Singh.jpg|thumb|200px|Chaudhary Meer Singh and Smt Netrakaur: Parents of Charan Singh]] Charan Singh's ancestors were the kinsmen of prominent freedom-fighter of the revolt of 1857, [[Raja Nahar Singh]] of [[Ballabhgarh]] (in present day [[Haryana]]). [[Raja Nahar Singh]] was sent to the gallows in Chandni Chowk of [[Delhi]]. [[Raja Nahar Singh]] was hung by the British at Delhi’s Chandni Chowk in 1857 for his revolutionary role in India’s First War of Independence. In order to escape the oppression the British Government let loose on Raja's kinsmen and supporters, Charan Singh's grandfather moved to district Bulandshaher in Uttar Pradesh.
