==History==
There are two different accounts of the founding of Pihani.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The first, traditionally told by Hindu locals, holds that Pihani was originally settled by Dube Brahmins from [[Kannauj]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> They had supposedly been invited by [[Raja Lakhan Sen]], a Gaur king who had conquered the fort of [[Simaurgarh]] (near [[Mansurnagar]]) from the [[Thathera]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The Muslim account, on the other hand, says that Pihani was founded by Sayyid Abdul Ghafur, who served as [[Qadi|qazi]] of Kannauj under the Mughal emperor [[Humayun]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> In 1540, after [[Humayun]]'s defeat by [[Sher Shah Suri]], Abdul Ghafur refused to acknowledge Sher Shah's rule and left Kannauj to take shelter in the jungle where Pihani now stands.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The name "Pihani" is thus said to derive from the word ''pinhani'', meaning "concealment".<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

One of the main historical monuments in Pihani is the ornate tomb of [[Nawab Sadr Jahan]], who served as a minister under [[Akbar]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It consists of a double dome supported by red sandstone pillars, while the surrounding area is shaded by large [[tamarind]] trees.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> An inscription in [[Persian language|Persian]] says that the tomb's construction began in 1071 [[Hijri year|AH]] and finished 10 years later.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Sadr Jahan's son, Badr-i-Alam, is also buried here.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Another monument is the ruined fort of Nizam Murtaza Khan (Badr-i-Alam's son); its western gate is still extant, as are the high walls built of [[kankar]] blocks.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Under the [[Nawabs of Awadh]], Pihani was renowned for the quality of its sword blades.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It also produced woven turbans (aka [[dastar]]s), but both of these industries had declined by the turn of the 20th century.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, Pihani was described as having two distinct quarters named Bari Pihani and Chhoti Pihani.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Bari Pihani was older and more run-down at the time, while Chhoti Pihani, or Nizampur, had been founded by Nizam Murtaza Khan and was more prosperous, with many trees providing shade.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Pihani remained a minor commercial centre, with a police station, post office, cattle pound, and several schools: one middle school, a lower primary school for boys, and two lower primary schools for girls.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

==Economy==
As of 1971, the economy of Pihani was described as dominated by [[Primary sector|primary activities]].<ref name="Census 1971">{{cite book |title=Census 1971 Uttar Pradesh: District Census Handbook Part X-A: Village & Town Directory, District Hardoi |date=1972 |pages=viii-xi, 8-9 |url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/1130/1/45148_1971_HAR.pdf |access-date=14 June 2021}}</ref> The main items imported were cloth, groceries, and [[kerosene]] oil.<ref name="Census 1971"/> The main items manufactured were handloom, shoes, and agricultural implements.<ref name="Census 1971"/> The biggest exports were cane sugar, paddy, and wheat.<ref name="Census 1971"/>

History

[edit]

There are two different accounts of the founding of Pihani.[4] The first, traditionally told by Hindu locals, holds that Pihani was originally settled by Dube Brahmins from Kannauj.[4] They had supposedly been invited by Raja Lakhan Sen, a Gaur king who had conquered the fort of Simaurgarh (near Mansurnagar) from the Thatheras.[4] The Muslim account, on the other hand, says that Pihani was founded by Sayyid Abdul Ghafur, who served as qazi of Kannauj under the Mughal emperor Humayun.[4] In 1540, after Humayun's defeat by Sher Shah Suri, Abdul Ghafur refused to acknowledge Sher Shah's rule and left Kannauj to take shelter in the jungle where Pihani now stands.[4] The name "Pihani" is thus said to derive from the word pinhani, meaning "concealment".[4]

One of the main historical monuments in Pihani is the ornate tomb of Nawab Sadr Jahan, who served as a minister under Akbar.[4] It consists of a double dome supported by red sandstone pillars, while the surrounding area is shaded by large tamarind trees.[4] An inscription in Persian says that the tomb's construction began in 1071 AH and finished 10 years later.[4] Sadr Jahan's son, Badr-i-Alam, is also buried here.[4] Another monument is the ruined fort of Nizam Murtaza Khan (Badr-i-Alam's son); its western gate is still extant, as are the high walls built of kankar blocks.[4]

Under the Nawabs of Awadh, Pihani was renowned for the quality of its sword blades.[4] It also produced woven turbans (aka dastars), but both of these industries had declined by the turn of the 20th century.[4]

At the turn of the 20th century, Pihani was described as having two distinct quarters named Bari Pihani and Chhoti Pihani.[4] Bari Pihani was older and more run-down at the time, while Chhoti Pihani, or Nizampur, had been founded by Nizam Murtaza Khan and was more prosperous, with many trees providing shade.[4] Pihani remained a minor commercial centre, with a police station, post office, cattle pound, and several schools: one middle school, a lower primary school for boys, and two lower primary schools for girls.[4]

Economy

[edit]

As of 1971, the economy of Pihani was described as dominated by primary activities.[7] The main items imported were cloth, groceries, and kerosene oil.[7] The main items manufactured were handloom, shoes, and agricultural implements.[7] The biggest exports were cane sugar, paddy, and wheat.[7]
