Death and legacy

Thakur Gopal Sharan died in 1960, and his death was mourned by many great poets, including Maithili Sharan Gupt, Mahadevi Verma, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, to say the least.

Being the eldest son of an aristocrat family came with responsibilities and he soon succeeded his father as the new head of the zamindari. Only the eldest of sons Someshvara Singh’s family consisting of two sons Saroj Singh and Makarand Singh and a daughter were the legitimized owners of the family and hence resided in the fort. But still it consists some bewildering scenes of nature.

He built a bungalow at the realms of Allahabad and named it ‘Lal Kothi’ or red bungalow, for the education of his sons and daughters.

Historical facts suggest that Rewa attacked Naigarhi five times but failed to conquer the fort which was supernaturally proteged by the divine powers of goddess Kaali. He along with Maithili Sharan Gupt is considered an avant-garde of Khari Boli poetry. In an artistic view Bara-dari is an example of outstandingly chiselled work of fine maestros. Some of his eminent works published in Saraswati were 'Kurang', 'Upavan', 'Shishir Saptak', 'Bharat Mata', 'Prem' and 'Rewa Naresh ki Prashasti'.

The Cannon was rumoured to turn to its own desired direction and shoot without the help of any soldier. His poems are still used in the books of Madhya Pradesh education board. Maharaja of Rewa awarded Jagat Bahadur control over eighty four villages known as chaurasi. He almost rebuilt the fort with rooms and halls made of stone.

After the death of Pratap Singh, his successors had a tussle for the kinship which is not properly mentioned in history. With the arrival of dawn, the prince dashed outside his tent and saw a hare chased down by a wolf; he followed them on his horse until the wolf grabbed the hare. Helpless Jagat Bahadur in amour of his son accepted the suzerainty but ignored to give away his fort and honour.

A young prince, called Chattradhari Singh, of the Sengar clan arrived from Ujjain with a small troop of soldiers and his wife, who was bearing an infant son. The Baghel zamindars had a long time grudge against Pratap who was still an independent king under the Rewa kingdom. He was succeeded by his son Hathiraj Singh who carried on his work of reconnoitring his family and fort.
