It's possible that Mallawan was a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] site at the same time that [[Kannauj]] was, given the short distance between them, but this is uncertain.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> An image of [[Asa Devi]] found in a temple here is "probably of Buddhist origin."<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
Early Mallawan used to be a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] site. Later it was held by [[Thathera|Thateras]] until it was invaded by Sayyed Salar Masood Gazi in 1033 AD.<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://gazetteer.up.nic.in/ViewPdf.aspx?Dst=RQ%3d%3d-55VEGPf2brs%3d&DsName=SGFyZG9p-CluJC8KV3rQ%3d|title=Gajette of Hardoi Distric|last=|first=|publisher=Uttar Pradesh Goverment|year=1970|isbn=|location=|pages=270|via=open edition}}</ref> A wandering saint, Maqdoom Shah, and later his disciple, Misbah-ul-Islam, commonly known as Qazi Bhikari, were appointed [[Qadi|qazi]] of [[Pargana]]. In 1765 AD Jesuit missionary and traveller [[Joseph Tiefenthaler]] visited and described Mallawan as a small town build of bricks surrounded by many trees. With the advent of [[British Raj|British Rule]], followed by the annexation of [[Oudh State|Oudh]] in 1856, Mallawan was made district headquarter and possessed considerable political importance.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/0924_PART_B_DCHB_HARDOI.pdf|title=Hardoi district Gazette|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}}</ref> During the struggle of 1857 the Raikawars, independence fighters from nearby village Rudamau, burned Mallawan's court house. Conditions worsened, leading to the move of the district headquarter to Hardoi. |

In early times, the Mallawan area was ruled by the [[Thathera]]s until they were driven out by the [[Chandela]]s (in the west) and the [[Kurmi]]s (in the east).<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Then, in 1033, it was invaded by [[Ghazi Sayyid Salar Masud]]; the tomb of one of his companions is found in Mallawan, in the neighbourhood of Uncha Tola.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> According to tradition, Mallawan was once called "Ghazipur" in Masud's honour. Mallawan's [[Shaikhs in South Asia|Sheikh]] community claims to have originally come to the town at this time.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Later, in 1544, three of the Sheikhs were given a grant in the neighbouring village of Mohiuddinpur by [[Sher Shah Suri]], on the condition that they reside there, recite prayers five times daily in the mosque, and shooting ten arrows after reading the afternoon prayers.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
The wandering saint Makhdum Shah, also called Misbah-ul-Ashiqin, came to Mallawan in 1415.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> His [[dargah]] is located here.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Similar in style to that of Sadr Jahan in [[Pihani]], it is clad with large [[kankar]] blocks, along with some [[sandstone]], and it is crowned by a plain dome supported by 8 "richly ornamented" Hindu-style pillars.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> According to a book written in 1529 by one of his descendants, Makhdum Shah was invited to the imperial court at [[Delhi]] by [[Sikandar Lodi]], but he declined and instead sent two of his followers.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> As a result, his follower Misbah-ul-Islam, aka Qazi Bhikari, was appointed [[Qadi|qazi]] of Mallawan [[Pargana]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
Mallawan is listed in the ''[[Ain-i-Akbari]]'' as the seat of a pargana.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The town's [[jama masjid]] was built during [[Akbar]]'s reign out of kankar blocks taken from an older building.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> By the turn of the 20th century, however, the mosque was described as being in ruins.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
In 1726, Shitab Rai was made [[chakladar]] of Mallawan.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He became infamous for acquiring property by burying landowners alive and then making their heirs sell it to him.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> According to the first British settlement report in the mid-19th century, the landowners' bones were still sometimes dug up by farmers around the old chakladar compound.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
In 1765, Jesuit missionary and traveller [[Joseph Tiefenthaler]] visited Mallawan.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He described it as a small but densely populated town surrounded by trees, with most buildings being made out of brick.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> There was a fort with towers, of mixed brick and mud construction, but by the early 1900s it had disappeared and the site had become farmland.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
The 1773 treaty between the [[Nawab of Awadh]] and the [[British East India Company]] designated Mallawan as the site of a cantonment of British troops.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The cantonment was by the road to Bilgram, in the village of [[Faizpur Kampu]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It was in use until 1777, when it was moved to [[Kanpur]], leading to Kanpur becoming a major city.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Meanwhile, the Nawab had a military garrison in Mallawan itself until the 1850s.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |
|||
With the advent of [[British Raj|British Rule]], followed by the annexation of [[Oudh State|Oudh]] in 1856, Mallawan was made district headquarter and possessed considerable political importance.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/0924_PART_B_DCHB_HARDOI.pdf|title=Hardoi district Gazette}}</ref> During the struggle of 1857 the Raikawars, independence fighters from nearby village Rudamau, burned Mallawan's court house. Conditions worsened, leading to the move of the district headquarter to Hardoi. |
|||
At the turn of the 20th century, Mallawan was described as a very spread-out town, consisting of several villages agglomerated together.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> They were Mohiuddinpur in the north; Gangarampur, Mirzapur, Gobardhanpur, and Mallawan itself in the middle, and Bhagwantnagar in the south.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Mallawan had seven [[mahalla|muhalla]]s at the time: Bhagwantnagar, Gurdasganj, Pathan Tola, Uncha Tola, Nasratnagar, Qazi Tola, and Chauhatta.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The town had a police station, a post office, a cattle pound, an inspection bungalow, and a middle school, along with a Sanskrit ''[[patshala]]'' in Bajiganj.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> There was also a military encampment to the south of the road.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Markets were held at Gurdasganj on Mondays and Fridays, and at Bhagwantnagar on Sundays and Wednesdays.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Mallawan was not a major commercial centre at the time, although Bhagwantnagar was renowned for its dishes and brass spoons.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The [[Man Devi]] fair, held in Kuar and Chait, then had an average attendance of about 4,000 people.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> |

Per 2011 census Mallawan had a total population of 36,915, out of which 19,404 (53%) were male and 17,511 (47%) female.[6] It had a literacy rate of 68.71% & present literacy rate is 78.6%. It is divided into 25 wards. 57% of the population were Hindus, 42.5% were Muslims, and the remaining 0.5% belonged to other religions.
History
[edit]It's possible that Mallawan was a Buddhist site at the same time that Kannauj was, given the short distance between them, but this is uncertain.[4] An image of Asa Devi found in a temple here is "probably of Buddhist origin."[4]
In early times, the Mallawan area was ruled by the Thatheras until they were driven out by the Chandelas (in the west) and the Kurmis (in the east).[4] Then, in 1033, it was invaded by Ghazi Sayyid Salar Masud; the tomb of one of his companions is found in Mallawan, in the neighbourhood of Uncha Tola.[4] According to tradition, Mallawan was once called "Ghazipur" in Masud's honour. Mallawan's Sheikh community claims to have originally come to the town at this time.[4] Later, in 1544, three of the Sheikhs were given a grant in the neighbouring village of Mohiuddinpur by Sher Shah Suri, on the condition that they reside there, recite prayers five times daily in the mosque, and shooting ten arrows after reading the afternoon prayers.[4]
The wandering saint Makhdum Shah, also called Misbah-ul-Ashiqin, came to Mallawan in 1415.[4] His dargah is located here.[4] Similar in style to that of Sadr Jahan in Pihani, it is clad with large kankar blocks, along with some sandstone, and it is crowned by a plain dome supported by 8 "richly ornamented" Hindu-style pillars.[4] According to a book written in 1529 by one of his descendants, Makhdum Shah was invited to the imperial court at Delhi by Sikandar Lodi, but he declined and instead sent two of his followers.[4] As a result, his follower Misbah-ul-Islam, aka Qazi Bhikari, was appointed qazi of Mallawan Pargana.[4]
Mallawan is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as the seat of a pargana.[4] The town's jama masjid was built during Akbar's reign out of kankar blocks taken from an older building.[4] By the turn of the 20th century, however, the mosque was described as being in ruins.[4]
In 1726, Shitab Rai was made chakladar of Mallawan.[4] He became infamous for acquiring property by burying landowners alive and then making their heirs sell it to him.[4] According to the first British settlement report in the mid-19th century, the landowners' bones were still sometimes dug up by farmers around the old chakladar compound.[4]
In 1765, Jesuit missionary and traveller Joseph Tiefenthaler visited Mallawan.[4] He described it as a small but densely populated town surrounded by trees, with most buildings being made out of brick.[4] There was a fort with towers, of mixed brick and mud construction, but by the early 1900s it had disappeared and the site had become farmland.[4]
The 1773 treaty between the Nawab of Awadh and the British East India Company designated Mallawan as the site of a cantonment of British troops.[4] The cantonment was by the road to Bilgram, in the village of Faizpur Kampu.[4] It was in use until 1777, when it was moved to Kanpur, leading to Kanpur becoming a major city.[4] Meanwhile, the Nawab had a military garrison in Mallawan itself until the 1850s.[4]
With the advent of British Rule, followed by the annexation of Oudh in 1856, Mallawan was made district headquarter and possessed considerable political importance.[7] During the struggle of 1857 the Raikawars, independence fighters from nearby village Rudamau, burned Mallawan's court house. Conditions worsened, leading to the move of the district headquarter to Hardoi.
At the turn of the 20th century, Mallawan was described as a very spread-out town, consisting of several villages agglomerated together.[4] They were Mohiuddinpur in the north; Gangarampur, Mirzapur, Gobardhanpur, and Mallawan itself in the middle, and Bhagwantnagar in the south.[4] Mallawan had seven muhallas at the time: Bhagwantnagar, Gurdasganj, Pathan Tola, Uncha Tola, Nasratnagar, Qazi Tola, and Chauhatta.[4] The town had a police station, a post office, a cattle pound, an inspection bungalow, and a middle school, along with a Sanskrit patshala in Bajiganj.[4] There was also a military encampment to the south of the road.[4] Markets were held at Gurdasganj on Mondays and Fridays, and at Bhagwantnagar on Sundays and Wednesdays.[4] Mallawan was not a major commercial centre at the time, although Bhagwantnagar was renowned for its dishes and brass spoons.[4] The Man Devi fair, held in Kuar and Chait, then had an average attendance of about 4,000 people.[4]
