Jaunpur News: People of the Muslim community in Jaunpur, UP have suddenly come into the limelight for adding the title Dubey to their names. All of them believe that their ancestors used to be Brahmins. Later they converted to Islam. Now in their memory, there are about 25 such families who have started writing Dubey after the title Khan, Sheikh, Ansari or Ahmed that comes with their name. They feel proud in doing this. However, the one who does this is only the head of all the families. No other member has added the title.

There are many families in Dehri village who have not left Islam but have started adopting the title of Hindu religion. Everyone has accepted the Brahmin title. These people say that when they started digging into their family roots, they found out that about seven generations ago their ancestors were Brahmin Hindus. In such a situation, in memory of their ancestors, they have established a connection with their ancestors by writing the Hindu title Dubey in front of their Muslim name. All of them say with great pride that they are not from anywhere else, they are residents of India. Their ancestors were from Hindu Brahmin families. They got this information about their ancestors only after digging 5-7 generations back. 

The search for ancestors started 2 years ago
It is being told about the people of Dehri village that about 2 years ago some people of this village started searching for the roots of their ancestors. After searching for the ancestors when the signs of them being Brahmins started coming, Naushad Ahmed of the village now became Naushad Ahmed Dubey. Sheikh Abdullah also became Sheikh Abdullah Dubey by adding Dubey after his name. Along with them there are about 25 more people who have started adding Dubey, Tiwari, Shaandilya, etc. to their names. Like Brahmins, they are engaged in keeping cows and taking care of them. 

It is not that all the people of Dehri village have added the Brahmin title to their names. After searching for his ancestors, only the head of the family added the Dubey title to his name 2 years ago. No one else has done this .
