History
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
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.
2000–2015
The Amethi bifurcation (2010), highway upgrades
2001
The census records a town population of 7,268
Literacy at 56 per cent — 65 male, 47 female. Nineteen per cent of the population under the age of six. It is the first figure that attaches directly to Koiripur rather than to the tehsil.
2010
Amethi district is carved out of Sultanpur
The district Koiripur belongs to was reshaped. It bears on administrative references, and matters whenever sources from before and after 2010 are compared.
2011
About 8,900 recorded in the tehsil's single urban unit
Census 2011 shows exactly one town in Lambhua tehsil — 8,927 people in 1,294 households. That town is Koiripur, but a competing figure circulates in the sources; see Conflict 01.
