Based on the discussin we were having here it looks like Debedin started the Apan Jhaat, not Rai as I think was concluded in that thread.

That was not the conclusion of the thread. Debidin was the one who started apan jhaat at bottom house meetings, speaking in Hindi. Rai may have used it but was not the originator. Jagan was complicit because he never discouraged it and benefitted from it.

Okay, I thought the conclusion was Rai.  Anyway, Debidin statrted that in 1953 when Jagan and Burnham were still together.
