RAHIMNAGAR PANDIÁWÁN_Pargana BIJNAUR-Taheil LUCKNOW -District LUCKNOW.—Rahímnagar Pandiáwán is the chief of a group of 12 villages belonging to Pánde Brahmans, situated on the right bank of the Sai on the southern boundary of the Bijnaur pargana. The village is purely agricultural and chiefly inhabited by Hindus. But as its name imports, bas some pretensions to be called a Muhammadan settlement. There is a family of Patháns living in a hamlet of the village called Bal- lochgarhi, who assert their original right to the soil, which had been con- ferred on them in jágir by the emperors of Delhi, but which when the right was confiscated by Saádat Ali Khan, 7th Nawab of Oudh, was con- ferred on the Brahmans. Brahmans are known to have colonized parts of this pargana, and it is more likely that kept under for a time, they were at length able success- fully to assert their right. The population is 2,500, and there are 407 houses, all of which are mud-built. A small Government school has been established here, but is not at present much appreciated by the people. The cultivation in this and the neighbouring villages is very fine.
