History
.
During the tenure of Aurangzeb a few market centres developed, such as Dildarnagar (tehsil Zemania), named after Dildar Khan, a Pathan who settled here in the reign of Aurangzeb, after having destroyed the ancient Hindu town of Akhandha.
Tthe predominant group of the people, the Kamsar Pathans, trace their genealogy from Hindu ancestors who came first from west U.P. and got settled at the bank of Karmnasha and Ganges in Ghazipur district, but due to flooding, the people migrated to the south, settled there and within the passage of time diffusion of settlement took place.
The Mughals were victorious and the Rajput army was scattered. Dham Deo and his elder brother Kam Deo came down to Ghazipur with their families and followers. The Sikarwar Rajputs of Gahmar emerged from Dham Deo and Bhumihar and Kamsar Pathans emerged from Kam Deo.[1] Many of the Khanzada Rajput villages are situaed near the town of Dildarnagar. Five centuries later all the three clans continue to co-exist in Ghazipur between Zamania, Dildarnagar and Gahmar.
A school established by a Kamsar Pathan at Dildarnagar, which is the main market town for the villages inhabited by the three clans, is popularly called 'Rajput'.
