Tribhwan Nath Bhat
Krishna Kotru
Shri Tribhwan Nath Bhat popularly known in the dynasty by the name 'Tribtoth' is the humblest of all the brothers. Only because of his tireless and selfless efforts father constructed Karannagar house. It is he who attended and kept links with the tillers of all the scattered lands in Kashmir of our father. It is he who made 'Khuad-Kash' to more than 32 Kanals of Zainakoot land, and it is this land which was later sold in the time of crisis. The families of five brothers had to leave Kashmir and were on the roadside.
His many traits are common with the Father of the Nation Gandhi Je. He would clean all the premises of the old Habbakadal house owned by more than 80 persons. I would always remain with him and obey him. He would fix electronic items with ease and would do the jobs of technicians like carpenter, mason etc. As a schoolboy, he prepared a staircase leading to the first floor of the father's clinic in Habbakadal.I used to be always with him.
All in the dynasty like Late Shri Shamboo Nath Bhat and others had great confidence in him and he was the blue-eyed boy of our father. He is the sincerest man of our dynasty. I remember once our father wanted to keep every property in his name to which he declined. Father was of the opinion that that way all brothers would remain together as a large extended family.
After doing Masters in Political Science and LL.B from Patna University, he joined Gwalior Rayon as labour officer. When he got the first salary, he purchased a turban of 'A Beautiful Mulmul' for father and two pants of light chocolate colour. One he gave to me and the other he retained for himself. He worked for a few months there and left the job. Father sent him to Delhi for joining Supreme court of India. But after a while, he returned back to State. He loved his father so much so that he served him day in and day out and in the process lost his own profession
His association with father has been the highest. After mother's death, our father would not like his absence from him or from home. He served as a "Casablanca" to our father and would never go without his father's word.....
He takes great pleasure in construction work.
He married Krishna Kotru (M.A. Political Science) on 19th October in the year 1964. They have three children. Eldest daughter Anu, is the First divisioner throughout and is B.Sc, BT, and has Diploma in Computer Sciences.

Anoop qualified the entrance examination in engineering and completed B.E Mechanical from R.E.C Kurukshetra. He beat the record in the final examination and was awarded a Gold Medal. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first gold medal any male member in the Dynasty has received.
