We are KHAPREs, we are proud of our surname or last name. Keeping our roots in a small villege, ChitraDurga in Karnataka state in India,
having a mere presence in the world, the family is smaller than fifty people.
I could not remember the whole hierarchy but names like Devappa and Surappa are in the
ancestry due to our life in southern India.
Yallappa Khapre (My great grand father) had 2 sons and 3 daughters,
namely (in order) Pralhad (My grand father), Ramachandra, Damayanti, Sushila and Anuradha.
Pralhad Khapre being the most educated and eldest moved to Pune and with obvious
responsibilties settled all sisters and brother. He worked in Ammunition Factory, Kirki, Pune.
My grand father married with Lakshibai (My grand mother) who studied and braught up in a Marathi family of
Malwadkars in Pune. Ramchadrarao had two sons and two daughters, Rajendra, Bharati, Ravindra, Kishori from
Lilabai. By end of 1994, Ramchandrarao passed away as a cause of massive heart attack.
