== Sardar Krishna Singh ==

Sardar Krishna, full name Sardar Krishna Nandan Singh, was a three term Sikh Bhumihar MLA from Arwal who had adopted Sikhism in his early years. Such was his popularity in the South Bihar region that he contested Bihar Legislative Assembly elections as an independent, without being affiliated with any political, not from his native Patna district, but from the neighbouring district of Arwal and still won three terms from there.

He originally belonged to '''the village of Akhtiyarpur in Paliganj Block, Patna district'''.

Apart from his political career, he was more widely known for founding the Brahmarshi Sena, an armed outfit that served the interests of Bhumihars, more than a decade before the Ranvir Sena was formed. It was because of him that Bhumihars and other upper castes of the Patna district felt safe for many years and remained comparatively unaffected from the left wing naxal terrorism.

He and his outfit were responsible for thwarting left-wing Naxalite penetration into Patna district for years.
