Dausa ( Devanagari: दौसा) is a city and administrative headquarters of Dausa district in the state of Rajasthan, India. It is 55 km from Jaipur, 100 km from Hindaun City, 240 km from Delhi and situated at NH-11. It is also known as "Dev Nagari."
In April 2015, Dausa reached infamy due to the death of a well off resident farmer Gajender Singh, of Jhamarwada village, during a political rally in Delhi. The resultant national furore on the media brought attention to the larger issue of farmer suicides during the last decade in India, the current agrarian crisis, the issue of seed monopolies by companies like Monsanto and the apathy of the central and state governments to this issue.
Dausa Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 25 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Rajasthan state in India.
Dausa (also known as Dosa) was a bishop and martyr of the Christian church.
He was a priest at Bet Zabdai in Mesopotamia. In 344, he was taken to Persia with his bishop Heliodorus of Bet Zabdai at the order of Shapur II. As Heliodorus lay dying at Daskarata, he consecrated Dausa to be his successor bishop. Dausa was beheaded with 275 comnpanions at Masabadan in Media, after having refused to worship the sun. He is commemorated with a feast day of August 20.
