Timelineसमय-रेखा
This timeline is deliberately uneven. The eras for which no record has been found appear here as gaps rather than as filler. An empty stretch is information too, and in this archive it is the most useful kind.
Confidence
1856–1900
Annexation, district formation, the 1903 gazetteer horizon
1889
Ram Naresh Tripathi is born, 4 March
Hindi literary sources give the birthplace as “village Koiripur, Sultanpur district”. One widely-shared English account places it in Jaunpur; both readings are recorded here.
1900–1947
The railway, Tripathi's life, the national movement
1903
The Sultanpur District Gazetteer is published
The earliest accessible administrative description of the region, and still the source the district administration cites on its own history page. For Koiripur it is the first document that must be read page by page.
1917–33
Kavita Kaumudi is published in six parts
The first Hindi anthology to collect village songs. Tripathi gathered the material by travelling through villages — the work that makes Koiripur's claim on literary history its strongest.
