The Nawab of Atrauli, also known as Nawab of Atrauli, and Atrauli State, was located in north-eastern historic region of Atrauli and was ruled by the Sheikhzada clan.
Atrauli State was a small princely state in India,established in 1857 during the East India Company rule in India.
The state formed a part of the Delhi Territory in the Ceded and Conquered Provinces. It was under the suzerainty of Commissioner of Delhi. It had an area of 315.79 square miles and included one town, Atrauli, and 241 villages, ruled by the Sheikhzada family.
The term Nawab of Atrauli refers to the lineage of rulers of the former princely Atrauli State in North-Eastern India. Atrauli was established in 1857 by the British East India Company,when Muhammad Ali, an Saudi Arabia Muslim Banu Thaqif of the Arab tribe, who was made the first Nawab. The family traces their origin to 16th century India, when thier ancestors immigrated from present-day Saudi Arabia to India during the Mughal Empire.
At the end of the British Raj and with the political integration of India in 1948, the princely state of Atrauli was absorbed into the new Dominion of India (later Republic of India). In 1971, by virtue of the 26th amendment to the Constitution of India, the Government of India abolished all official symbols of princely India, including titles, privileges, and remuneration ( privy purses). [1]
It belongs to a good family of Sheikhzada's, who have resided here for a long time. Many of them have been and are in Government service, and one of them, Muhammad Ali, was the first native Joint Magistrate in these Provinces, being appointed to that post in 1857, when he was sent to Atrauli in Aligarh, where he was killed by the rebels. [2]
The Capital of the Atrauli Pargana and tahsil is a considerable town standing in 28° 2 ' N. and 78 ° 17 ' E., on the south side of the road from Aligarh to Ramghat and Moradabad, at a distance of sixteen miles North -East from the district headquarters. The road is metalled for about a mile beyond Atrauli, and from it three branches enter the town, converging on the central market -place. From Atrauli a metalled road leads in a north -westerly direction for some five miles to the railway station known as Atrauli Road in the village of Raipur, thence continuing to Pindrawal in the Bulandshahr district. Unmetalled roads lead to Sankra and to Dadon on the east , to Gangiri and Kasganj on the south-east and to Barla and Datauli on the south. [3]
The place is said to derive its name from the founder, one uttara kunwar, an unknown chieftain of the twelfth century. It is mentioned as one the halting- places of Mubarak Shah in 1426, when he was engaged in fighting with the Sultan of Jaunpur. In the days of Akbar it gave its name to a pargana, then held by Bargujars, whose descendants became Musalmans and were long notorious for their turbulent disposition.Under the Marathas the town was the headquarters of an amil, who resided in the old fort built on the raised central site. There are the remains of another fort close to the town on the south- west. The Bargujars caused much trouble during the Mutiny, seizing the town and holding it till September 1857. In that month Muhammad Ali, a devoted servant of the Government and a member of a good Sheikh family of Sikri in Muzaffarnagar was deputed to Atrauli as Joint Magistrate, but the rebels refused to acknowledge his authority, and on the 25th of September they rose and murdered Muhammad Ali at the gate of the tahsil. The place was afterwards visited with ringleaders were hanged.
The tahsil for administrative purposes forms a subdivision in charge of a full- powered officer on the district staff. The tahsildar and sub-registrar are stationed at Atrauli, but the original civil jurisdiction is vested in the munsif of Haveli Aligarh, sitting at the district headquarters. At the preset time there are two honorary magistrates, Haji Muhammad Muzammil- ullah Khan, Khan Bahadur, and Habib- ur- Rahman Khan, Both of whom sit at Bhikampur. For police purpose the area is now divided between the circles of Atrauli, Dadon and Barla, the Gangiri thanx having been abolished recently. It is proposed to move the police station from Barla to Datauli.
Since that date Atrauli has steadily improved, and is now a thriving town with a considerable trade. The population numbered 12,722 persons in 1847 and 15,410 in 1853; and, though it had fallen to 15,053 by 1865, it was 15,941 in 1872,again dropping to 14,482 in 1881. Ten years later, however, it was 15,408, and in 1901 the place contained 16,561 inhabitants, of whom 9,562 were Hindus, 6,790 Musalmans and 209 of other religions.
All rulers bore the titles of Nawab. The list of rulers and titular rulers are as follows;
He merged Atrauli State in Union of India in the year 1948. (Just as titular nawab after merging with India).
