Jhalotar is a village in Hasanganj block of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [1] It is located just to the west of the Mohan- Ajgain road, near a lake called Kundra Samundar. [2] It hosts a weekly haat and has one primary school and no healthcare facilities. [1] Drinking water is provided by hand pump. [1] As of 2011, the population of the village is 1,990, in 319 households. [1]
History
According to tradition, the spot now occupied by Jhalotar was once a dhak jungle where a faqir named Mushtaq Shah lived. [2] A Chamar man also built a house nearby, made a clearing, and started a village called "Jhali" here; the name later became Jhalotar. [2] Jhalotar is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as the seat of a pargana, and at some point the Subahdar of Awadh built a fort here. [2] In 1770, Beni Bahadur Kayasth, the minister of the Nawab of Awadh, was granted a jagir in the Jhalotar pargana, which was split off to become a new pargana based at Ajgain. [2] The two parganas were merged again under the British Raj. [2] At the turn of the 20th century, Jhalotar was described as a small village with a population of 682. [2] It hosted a small market once per week. [2]
The 1961 census recorded Jhalotar as comprising 1 hamlet, with a total population of 854 (445 male and 409 female), in 164 households and 153 physical houses. [3] The area of the village was given as 432 acres. [3]
