History
[edit]Dih is named after the old deserted site to the north of the present village, but the old site's history is generally unknown.[4] At some point, Dih was held by the Bhale Sultans, but it was later conquered by the Kanhpurias "after a gallant defence."[4] At the turn of the 20th century, Dih was described as a large village surrounded by extensive orchards, irrigated by wells and a large tank on the north side of the village.[4] The village lands were mostly held by the taluqdar of Tikari, except for one small mahal which was held by Brahmin landlords and another, Bairagipur, which was revenue-free.[4] At that point, Dih had a primary school, a cattle pound, and a small bazar hosting markets twice per week.[4] The Ramlila fair was noted as having a large attendance at the time.[4] A village bank was established in June 1901.[4] As of the census that year, Dih had a population of 3,489 people, and Pasis were the main cultivating caste.[4]
The 1951 census recorded Dih as comprising 25 hamlets, with a total population of 4,067 people (2,103 male and 1,964 female), in 886 households and 829 physical houses.[7] The area of the village was given as 2,505 acres.[7] 275 residents were literate, 266 male and 9 female.[7] The village was listed as belonging to the pargana of Parshadepur and the thana of Nasirabad.[7]
