Origin and History[change | change source]
The estate of Ranipatti was controlled by Majhraut Ahir zamindars. The Kosi and it's adjoining region was once dominated by the Majhraut clan of Ahirs and many zamindaris were in the hands of this clan.
The Ranipatti Zamindar family had close links with the Zamindars of the Murho Estate and both these Zamindar families were the most prominent families of the Kosi region, who has played a major role in the development of the region since the pre-independence period.
