Garhi Sanjar Khan is a village in Malihabad block of Lucknow district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [1] It is located immediately to the west of Malihabad, and it is surrounded by the Behta river on three sides. [2] Markets are held here twice per week. [2] The main staple foods are wheat and rice. [3] As of 2011, Garhi Sanjar Khan has a population of 2,833 people, in 520 households. [1]
Originally called Bulakinagar, Garhi Sanjar Khan was the first site that the Amanzai Pathans came to in the region. [2] Their ancestor, Diwan Muhammad Khan, was originally from Banair, near Peshawar, and had been invited to Hindustan by Darya Khan Lodi. [2] Diwan Muhammad Khan's sons, Kawal Khan and Bahadur Khan, were then followers of Darya Khan's sons, Diler Khan (governor of Awadh) and Bahadur Khan (governor of Kabul). [2] The brothers Kawal and Bahadur came to Bulakinagar in 1656; Bahadur's son Sarmast Khan later left and settled in nearby Bakhtiyarnagar, while Kawal Khan's son Sanjar Khan remained in Bulakinagar and gave the village its present name of Garhi Sanjar Khan. [2] Sanjar Khan's descendants remained the zamindars of the village into the 20th century. [2] The last of these great zamindars, Arshad Ullah Khan passed away 9 May 1988 in his ancestral mansion "Amjad Mahal".
The 1961 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 1,340 (706 male and 634 female), in 267 households and 226 physical houses. [4] The area of the village was given as 259 acres. [4]
The 1981 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as having a population of 1,951 people, in 331 households, and covering an area of 104.82 hectares. [3]
