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.
1947–1970
Independence, land reform, schools
1958
A poem is datelined “Koiripur (Sultanpur)”
Dated 8 April, this dateline is evidence that he was still writing from the town late in life — the most direct evidence of his continuing connection to Koiripur.
1962
Ram Naresh Tripathi dies, 16 January
He left behind close to a hundred books, written or edited. The auditorium in Sultanpur carries his name; no memorial to him in Koiripur itself has yet been documented.
