Chapter - 1
GENERAL
In Akbar's regime the tract
which now consists of the Mainpuri district was included
in the subah of Agra and divided between the sirkars of Agra and Kannauj which, in their turn, were further
subdivided in to mahals. In 1801, Mainpuri became the headquarters of the bigger
district of Etawah, the territory having been ceded to the British by Shuja-ud-daula,
nawab vizir of Avadh. In 1803 the revenue
jurisdiction of the collector of the district, residing at Mainpuri extended over tahsil
Shikohabad or Rapri, including parganas Shikohabad, Mustafabad and Ghiror; Huzur tahsil,
including Bhongaon, Sauj, Kishni and taluk Manchhana ; Sakit tahsil, including Sonhar
Sakit, Sirhpura, Sahawar-Karsana and Amanpur;
Kasganj tahsil, including soron and Kasganj; Etawah tahsil, comprising Bibamau, Auraiya,
Sandaus, Barhpura and Talgram. soon after Sauj was transferred to Farrukhabad, and lesser
areas were gradually divided off and placed under separate subcollectors. In 1817 Kuraoli
and in 1840 Bewar were received from Farrukhabad. In 1824, the old pargana of Rapri was
subdivided into Kismat awwal, subsequently known as pargana Shikohabad and Kismat duyum
afterwards called parganas Mustafabad and Ghiror Bibamau pargana was broken up and
distributed between Barnahal , Etawah ane Shikohabad, and a separate pargana of Karhal was
constituted. Mainpuri belonged to Manchhana, which was itself formed out of Bhongaon. Kishni-Nabiganj also formed part of the same
pargana. In 1837 the territory of Mainpuri was limited to Sahawar- Karsana, Etah-Sakit,
Sirhpura, Kuraoli, Shikohabad , Mustafabad, Ghiror, Sauj, Karhal, Kishni- Nabiganj,
Bhongaon, Alipur Patti and Manchhana. On the
formation of the Etah district in 1845 the
parganas of Sahawar- Kahsana , Etah-Sakit and Sirhpura were transferred to it. In 1850-51 the Manchhana taluk was merged in
pargana Bhongaon, the newpargana assuming the name of Bhongaon- manchhana. In 1861 Sauj
pargana was broken up and divided between Karhal and Mainpuri. Later changes have for the most part been minor.
The distrect eomprises the five subdivisions of jasrana, Shikohabad, Karhal, Mainpuri and Bhongaon, each forming a tahsil of the same name
Jasrana lies on the west. It is boounded on
the north by the Etah district,on theeast by Mainpuri
tahsil, on the south by shikohabad tahsil and on the west by Firozabad and Jalesar tahsils
of the Agra and Etah districts. The area of the tahsil is 822.3 sq. km. with a population
of 2,47,432 (males 1,33766, females 1,13,666) according to the 1971 census. It contains 276 villages of which 6 are uninhabited.
Karhal lies in the south-east bet ween the Bhongaon and Shikohabad tahsils. On the north it is boutded by Mainpuri tahsil and
on the south by the Etawah district. It
stretches over 565.9 sq. km. Its total population was 1,69,189(males 92,919, fomales
76,270) in1971 . It contains one town and 193 villages of which one is uninhabited.
Loam Tract :- The loam tract comprises the entire portion of the district between the Isan and the Sengar, extending in many places across the Sengar to the Sirsa. The country intersected by the Arind is also similar, little mixed soil is found where the sandy belt along the Isan mingles with the loam in the south-east and the transition from sand to loam is gradual. The southern halves of parganas Kishni Nabiganj and Bhongaon, the whole of Karhal, the northern corner of Barnahal, the whole of Ghiror and greater part of Mainprri the southern corner of Kuraoli, the entire Mustafabad and a great portion of northern Shikohabad are included in the loamy tract. From the junction of the Sengar with the Senhar, the firm loam yields to a light soil, which not infrequently breaks out into sand ridges . The central and northern portions of the loamy tract are covered with jhils.
Vast stretches of usar also occur in Ghiror. Though the tract is free from sand, a line of sand runs almost due north
and south in Mustafabad from the borders of the Firozabad tahsil (Agra) through Jasrana
and Shikohabad to merge ultimately in the Yamuna rivines. The soil to the north of
Shikohabad resemble that of Jasrana and stiff loam and large usar plains abound. High bhur
tracts occur especially in the belt running parallel to the Sengar and near its banks
where the soil is poor and its surface often uneven and broken with ravines. The
prevailling characteristic soil is a light but rich yellow loam forming a kind of mean
between pure loam and sand. It is superior to
sand but a little inferior to natural loam. The water level deepens in this region
especially in Karhal, forming jhils and
marshes and further in the south-east of Bhongaon, and Kishni- Naviganj there is a group
of small jhils many of which remain always filled with water.
Mixed Tract :- The tract of mixed soils lies between the Sirsa and the
Yamuna south of the central tract and the soil comprises a mixture of sand and loam in a
proportion not found elsewhere. The southern portion of this tract is distinguished from
the northern one by a firmer and more fertile
soil and a greater uniformity in the surface. It is again distinguished from the central
tract by a greater admixture of sand and the absence of usar and marsh. As the Sirsa is
approached from the north, usar almost
entirely disappears and a uniform plain of high cultivation is reached. About 3 km. to the south of the Sirsa the land becomes less
fertile close to the town of Shikohabad the soil is
the finest loam of light colour, more friable and very fertile. Water is found at about a
depth of 7 m. to 9 m. To the south of the
Sirsa the soil of the tract is lighter, the sand predominating over the loam; the water
level sinks rapidly until the Yamuna ravines are met, where it is found 24 m. to 30 m.
below the surface.
River System And Water
Resources
Kali Nadi :- The Kali Nadi forms the north- eastern boundary of
the district, separating it from Etah and
Farrukhabad. The steep character of its banks in many places precludes the possibility of
any benefit being derived from the river, either as a depositer of alluvial soil or as a
source of irrigation, during its course through Kuraoli, but further east the khadar
becomes more uniform and from its inherent moisture, requires little irrigation. The total
length of its course in the district is about 54 km.
Isan :- The Isan enters the district in its north-west
and flows in the south-east direction. In the first part of its course and to within 6 km.
of its junction with the Kak Nadi, about 4 km. north-west of Mainpuri, it runs through a
loam and usar country and often inundates neighbouring land in years of heavy rainfall.
There is has a considerable expanse of low lying alluvial land of fairly good character
along its banks. Therefter, instead of usar,
high banks of white and undulating sand appear and the soil for a long distance on either
side is light and mixed with sand. From
Mainpuri down-ward the river is used a good deal for irrigation. The total course of the
river within the district is about 72 km.
Arind or Rind :- The Arind or Rind enters the district to
the north of pargana Mustafabad between the Etawah and Kanpur branches of the Ganga canal
and traverses it from the extreme north-west to the extreme sorth-east corner in a
singularly winding course, following every slight depression in the surface of the
district and sometimes returning on itself. The stream is , therefore, even in the rains,
a sluggish one . It flows through that part of the district in which usar, loam and clay
are the constituent soils and the bhur ridges of the Kali Nadi and Isan are nowhere met
with along its banks. Near its point of departure from the district , in the Kishni
pargana, a remarkable change comes over the stream, its bed becomes deeper, its deposits less fertile and its inundation area more
confined.
Sengar :- The sengar enters the district on its north-west
boundary, in tahsil Jasrana. It drains the whole of the extensive water shed lying between
the Arind and the Sirsa. In the upper portion of its
course it comprises two branches, the Sengar proper to the north and the Senhar or `second
Sengar' to the south. These unite at Kheria on the confines of pargana Jasrana and upto
their point of Junction resemble the Arind in the kind of the country through which they
pass and the excellence of their tarai; but beyond
the confluence poor soil and sand ridges begin to appear along the banks, and its bed
becomes deeper and small ravines stretch out
from it. Both branches in several places stretch out into wide expanses such as those of
pilakhtar, Fateh, and Dundi on the Sengar proper and Dihuli on the Senhar.
Sirsa :-
The Sirsa enters the distrect at the south west
corner of pargana jasrana close to Siaori, then it approaches Stikohabad after passing
under the Bhognipur canal and runs in between the parallel to the Etawah road and the
canal. Its drainage area in this district is small and it runs through an almost
coontinuously cultivated tract of a light soil of sand and loam. There is little usar along its banks and sandy
ridges are only met with close to the town of Shikohabad. The banks are well defined and
the allrvial land is more extensive and fertile than that found along the Sengar.
Aganga :- The Aganga is a small and unimportant drainage
line which takes its rise in a tank near the town of Shikohabad, runs through pargana
Shikohabad and Barnahal and falls into the Sengar
a few hundred metres within the Etawah district. For the first half of its length it is
merely a
Minor Streams :-
Among the minor streams, the Kak or Kak
Nadi, a tributary of Isan, rises in the pargana of winding course through parganas Kuraoli
and Mainpuri, it joins the Isan near Gopalpur, a short distance north-west of the town of
Mainpuri. The Chhachha nala starts from the Sultanganj
drainage cut on the Bewar canal and joins the Isan near Govindpur about 5 km. south of Bhongaon. The Basemar nala
drains the Rasemar lake on the Mainpuri-Kuraoli road in to the Kak nadi.
In pargana Maenpuri there is a lake known as Karimganj jhil, which is nearly one and a half kilometres in
length and 275 m. In breadth, covering an
area of about 32 hectares. To the south west of Mainpuri city, there is a lake of
considerable size. The tahsil of Bhongaon is full of large stretches of water. North-east
of the town there are Airwa and Sikandarpur jhils and to the east of the Grand Trunk road, at Kinawar, is a marsh. Others
are to be found further south and east of Bhanwat, Manchhana and Pundri. In
Kishni-Nabiganj, is the more important lake of Janaura with an area of about 85 heetares and a depth of about 3 m. situated in the centre
of a sandy tract. Nearby lies the Chirawar
jhil extending over 47 heetares, Still further south in the same pargana is found a group
of extensive lakes; Saman, 94 heetares in area and about 7m. int depth, Pharenji and Basait. There is aq jhil
at Paraunkha in Bewar pargana. In Ghiror, there are several shallow jhils, the largest heing at Pachawar, Bidhuna and
Bigrai. Jasrana, again, is full of swamps, but all, except Utrara, are of minor
importance. On the right bank of the Etawah branch of the Ganga canal, in the extreme
north-east of pargana Barnahal, lies the Saj Hajipur jhil, covering about 24 hectares. In
Karhal pargana there are numerous lakes and marshes. which are the sources of the Ahnaiya,
the Puraha, and the Ujhiani streams . Of these the most important are Deokali, about 25 hectares in area, and Sauj, measuring 60
hectares, which drains into the great Saman lake and is also connected with the
neighbouring Harer reservoir. The latter is long and narrow like most of the lakes in this
district, but of great depth. Close by is the
Timarakh lake with an area of about 36
hectares. The Shikohabad pargana contains a few jhils, among which the Sarakh and Baijua
may be
mentioned. All these lakes and marshes expand very considerably during the rains
and few of them dry up altogether in seasons of intense drought.
Drainage :- The general slope of the district is from
north-west to south-east and this is the direction in which the river run and which is
therefore followed in the main by the drainage. There are,
however, inequalities of surface caused by the greater or less elevation of the
river beds and by the sand ridges. The general dispisition of the drainage differs
somewtat in different portions of the district. In the central tract, which lies highest,
the main drainage arteries are the Isan and the Arind. The bed of the former has a greater
fall than that of the latter. In their course through the west of the district the Isan is
about a metre below the Arind, but opposite Mainpuri the difference has increased to five
metres and at Tarha to six metres. The Bewar branch canal, running through the north of
the central tract, follows the watershed of the Kali and the Isan rivers and most of the
drainage in this north-eastern portion falls into the
Isan . South of the central tract the natural drains are the Arind and the Sengar
and the Etawah canal, which keeps to the watershed as far as Gangsi and does not interfere
with them up to that point. But from this
point . Southward there is an important change in the level of the corntry which leads to
the development of a series of new drainage lines. Pargana Karhal has been seriously
affected by the canal. The Arind has now to carry off a portion of the water which
formerly fell into the Sengar. The Kankan and Ratbhanpur drainage, which formerly joined
it, is now impeded by the Gangsi and Bansak minors and has to find its way
as best it can into the Arind. The drainage
area of the Puraha, though not obstructed by the canal, is so uniformly level and has such
a gentle slope that it is hardly more than a chain of pools and only runs as a stream in
the rains. To the west of the Sengar the drainage naturally falls into the Sengar and
Sirsa with the latter's tributary, the Aganga. South of the Bhognipur canal the drainage
lines slope towards the Yamuna ravines. The Kali, the Isan and their catchment basins all
belong to the Ganga system and all the other rivers to that of the Yamunas.
Geology
Kankar :- Calcareous
concretions (kankar) is found in abundance all over the district, especially is Jasrana,
Alipur, Khera, Araon and in the Shikohabad tract. The block kankar (Silia) ia used for
walls, especially for foundation and abutments and piers of bridges. The nodular form of
kankar, locally known as bichhua, is used for metalling roads. Lime is made from kankar
after burning it. Good variety of kankar is found in the usar plains of the district.
Reh :-
The availability of an easy and plentiful supply
of canal water has assisted formation of reh and the phenomenon is much in evidence in
Shikohabad and Karhal tahsils and some villages along the canals in the Mainpuri and
Bhongaon tahsils. It is used in the manufacture of soap and glass and in washing leather
and tanning.
Flora
Fauna
Animals :- The district does not abound in wild animals
though several species are found in it. Herds of black buck are met with in the extensive
usar plain, more especially in the west of the district. The Yamuna ravines harbours
considerable numbers of hyaenas and an occasional panther (Panthra pardus), while chinkara
(guzelle beunetti) may from time to time be met with there. The hyaena (Hynae hynae) also
freqrents the central portion of the district. Among other carnivorous animals the wolf,
wild dog (cuon drkhunensis) are found in the forest tract and the jackal (conisaureus),
and fox (vulpes bengalensis) are fairly common
throughout the district. Wild Pig (sus scorfa), is met within the forests, ravines and
tall grasses. The nilgais (Boselapus tragocamelus) are to be found in the dhak jungles.
The parha (hog deer) is seen occasionally in the jungles along the ravines . Among other
animals found in the district are the monkey (lnnus rhesus), hare (lepus ruficandatus) and
Saihi (Hystrix leucura), lomri (Indian fox).
Birds :- A variety of birds are found in the district.
The most common among the game birds is the partridge which
occurs every where and is locally known as titar. Two types of partridges, such as
kala titar or black partridge (francolinus francolinus) and grey partidge (francolenus
pondicerianus), are found mostly near the forests. Among quails, the most common are the bater or grey quail (coturnix coturnix), and
the jungle bush quail or lava (Perdicula asiatica) which are usually found in the bushes.
The bhat titar or sand grouse (Pterocles exuslus) is seen
in small flocks on the sandy tract of the district. Pigeons or kubutar (columba
livia) and fakhta or doves (streptepelia decaocto
) are exceedingly common in the south owing to the large number of wells where they resort The red spotted dove
(streptopelia chininsis) and the harial or green pigeon (streptopelia seregaleusis) are
found in the groves. The peacock (Pavo
cristatus) is met every where. It is now the national bird and enjoys protection. The
chaha or snipe (capella gallinage) is found in abundance during the winter season.
Fish :- The rivers, lakes and ponds of the district
abound in fish of the ordinary species such as rohu (labeo rohita) parhin (Wallage attu),
saul ( (ophiocephalus punctatrs) and singhi (Heteropneustis fossilis). The best fishing is
on the Kali snd the Isan, and in cold weather parhin and mullet from half a kilogram to three kilograms in weight may be taken out
there with the rod. Mahseer (Earbas tor ) are occasionally caught in the canals. The other
common species found in the district are mangur (catla catla), nain (cirrhina mrigala),
bam (Mastecenbelus armetus), karanch (labeo calbasu), and silong (silonia silondia).
Reptiles :- The
different varieties of s nakes that are found in the district are the ajgar or python
(Python molurus), the dhaman or rate-snake (ptyas mucosus), the cobra (Naja naja), the
krait (Bungarus casruleus) and water snake (Natrix piscator) . Two species of crocodiles
found in the river Yamuna are the gharial (Gharialis gangeticus) and the magar or
broad-snouted crocodile (crocodilus palustris). The other reptiles found in the district are the chameleon (girgit) the goh or igauna and the chipkali (lizard). The
three species of tortoise that are common in the district
are the kachua. (Kachuga tectum), the patar
(Trionyx gangeticus) and the pond turtle (Lissemys punctata).
Game - laws
The
game-laws applicable to the district were governed by the wild Birds and Aninals
Protection (U.P. Amendment) Act, 1934, It has now been replaced by the Wild Life
(Protection) Act, 1972 which has made game-laws more stringent with a view to conserving
wild life and preventing the extinction of certain species. The wolf, crocodile, gharial and
peafowl have been declared protected species while certain restrictions have placed on
shooting of wild pig, nilgai and some other species. The punishment for infringement of
the laws has been made more deterrent.
Climate
Rainfall :-
Records of rainfall in the district are
available for seven stations for periods ranging from 80 to 95 years. The details of the
rainfall at these stations and for the district as a whole are given in Statement I at the
end of the chapter. The average annual
rainfall in the

Temperature :
There is a meteorological observatory in
the district at Mainpuri and the records of this observatory may be taken as
representative of the climatic conditions prevailing in the district in general. The
Statement 2nd at the end of the chapter gives
tht details about temperatures and relative humidities. After February there is continuous
increase in temperature till May which is generally the
hottest month. The mean daily minimum is 26.2 d.c. The Summer season is intensely
hot and on individual days the maximum temperature rises uptc 46.0 d.c. Hot dry dust-laden
winds, blow often during the summer. With the onset of the
monsoon in the district and by about the third week of June, there is an
appreciable drop in the day temperature. However the nights during the monsoon season are
as warm as nights in the summer. After the withdrawal of the monsoon by about the third
week of September, there is a slight increase in day temperature but the
Humidity :- During the south-west monsoon season the
relative humidity is high, exceeding 70 per cent on the average, After the withdrawal of
the momsoon humidity decreases and by summer the air is very dry with humidity less than
25 per cent during day time.
Cloudiness :- During the monsoon season and for brief
spells of a day or two during the cold season when the district is affected by passing
western disturbances, the sky is heavily clouded. In the rest of the year, the sky is
mostly clear or lightly clouded.
Winds :- Winds are generally light, throughout the year
and blow on a large number of occasions from directions, between south-west and north
west. In the period May to September, winds blow from directions between north-east and
south-east.
