Black Death and Migration from Pandarak
India was depopulated, Tartary, Mesopotamia, Syria, Armenia were covered with dead bodies - as mentioned by a German physician Justus Hecker in his book "The epidemics of the middle ages" page no 21. The Black death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history. The Black death is thought to have originated from the Tartary plains of central Asia, where it then travelled along the silk road and sea trade roots with Mongol armies and traders spreading throughout China, India reaching the seaports of Europe by 1346 AD. The black death is estimated to have killed 2.5 crores Chinese and other Asians before it entered Europe. It is estimated to have killed 30 to 60% of Europe's total population.All in one the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 45 crores down to 35 crores in the 14th century.
Spread of the Black Death (1346 - 1353AD)
In the year of 1340s while the plague was spreading towards the eastern part of India, It reached the pandarak a village now in patna district Bihar. The villagers could do nothing but to see others die and wait for their turn. Most of the villagers were dying due to the plague attack, people used to say - "Bhagwan nikani kar rahe hai"
Migration from Pandarak to Naromurar (1352 AD)
In Magadhi speaking people nikauni word is used for cultivation, the process of weeding the unwanted herbages from crops is known as nikauni. Some of them who survived migrated to Apsarh or Aanti village now in Nawada district Bihar, later a group of people from Apsarh migrated to Kochgaon village and some of them to Naromurar in order to protect their lives.It is believed that in the year of 1352 AD two brothers namely Naro Singh and Murar Singh along with their families were the first immigrants to come that place which later flourished and developed and came to be known as "Naromurar" after their names.
