The village is well placed amongst some fine groves of trees, and con- tains a few good brick houses that belong to the Musalman proprietors. The total number of houses is 556. The population is chiefly agricul- tural, and the cultivation round the village is very fine. No trade is carried on. It is said to be very old, and to have been founded by one Jogi Jagdeo, but at the time it was taken by the Musalmans it was one of the headquarters of the Bhars. There are in the village three tombs of the men who fell in the fight against them, those of Ahmad Shahid, Qázi Kallan, Zain-ud-din Shabíd. The Musalmans belong to the family of Qidwái Shekhs, who trace their origin from Qázi Qidwat-ud-dín, brother of Núr-ud-din, sovereigu of Rúm; they profess to have come into Hindu- stan in 580 H-1184 A.D., and after settling at Delhi for a time to have ac- cepted the governorship of the province from Shaháb-ud-dín. They seem anyhow to have conquered and colonised 52 villages in this part of the country, and state that they were gran, d a farmán by the Sultana Razia Ján bestowing on them the proprietary right: Different members of this family seem to have been appointed to high posts in the service of the Emperor of Delhi, and one of the line was Shekh Zain-ul-abidin, the taluqdar of Gadia, a Musalman gentleman well and favourably known. Of the population the Musalmans are 546 and the Hindus 1,852. 14
