BANKI. -This pargana derives its name from the principal town which was found- ed in 1194 Fasli by Haidar Beg Khan, názim, afterwards primo minister of Asif-ud-daula. Like other neighbouring parganas, it was in the possession of the Bhars, but they were deprived of it by Sayyad Miran, and afterwards entirely cxtirpated by Sultan Ibráhím of Jaunpur. This pargana formerly belonged to the ilaqa of Nagrám (a town founded by a Bhar pamed Nal) in the district of Lucknow, and was once under the rule of the Amcthia rájas. The origin of the term Amethia is thus narrated: About five hundred and fifty years ago one Ráe Bál Singh, the son of Rája Pirthí Chand, by order of the reigning emperor, conquered the insurgent ta.luqdar of Amethi, who had neglected or refused to pay his revenue. In Teward for this the emperor conferred upon him the title of “ Anethia Rája." During the reign of Akbar it was called Nagrám, as belonging to that estate. Haider Beg Khan, the názim of the place, transferred the head- quarters of the pargana to Fatehgarh, and founded a katra or mart close to Fatehgarh, which latter place so flourished that thenceforward the name of Haidargarh pargava became common to both and in oficial use. This pargana comprises 118 villages, its area is 103 square miles, the breadth from porth to south is 10 miles, and length from east to west 13 miles. It is bounded on the north by pargana Siddhaur, on the south by pargana Bachhráwán of the Puae Bareli district, on the west by the Lucknow district, and on the east by pargana Subeha. The propriotary body of this pargana chicfly belongs to the Amethia clan of Rajputs. The proprietary system is as follows: Villages.
