Thulendi is a village in Bachhrawan block of Rae Bareli district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [2] It is located 6 km from Bachhrawan, the block headquarters, [3] on an elevated plain with clayey soil. [4] A historic village, Thulendi served as a pargana headquarters from the early 1400s until the late 1700s, and it has several old monuments including a fort built under the Jaunpur Sultanate and two large tanks othat are said to be even older. [4] As of 2011, Thulendi's population was 6,616, in 1,195 households. [2]
Thulendi hosts a fair on the first Friday in Jeth in honour of the 11th-century Muslim folk hero Ghazi Sayyid Salar Masud. [4] Pilgrims bring banners and rest there for one night before proceeding to Satrikh and Bahraich. [4]
Thulendi was supposedly founded by a Bhar chieftain named Thula. [4] It was then supposedly conquered from the Bhars by Malik Taj-ud-Din, a companion of the 11th-century Muslim folk hero Ghazi Sayyid Salar Masud. [4] Malik Taj-ud-Din supposedly called the place "Maliknagar" and constructed the two large mud-built tanks in the village (one on the north side and the other on the south) called the "bara hauz" and the "chhota hauz". [4] He was killed by the resurgent Bhars when they retook Thulendi, and his tomb is still extant. [4]
In the early 1400s, Ibrahim Shah of the Jaunpur Sultanate made Thulendi the seat of a pargana. [4] The old mud fort in Thulendi was built in 820 AH, during Ibrahim Shah's reign. [4] Thulendi remained seat of a pargana until the late 1700s, under Asaf-ud-Daula, when the governor Raja Niwaz Singh relocated the headquarters to Bachhrawan. [4] Raja Niwaz Singh built a large haveli in Thulendi that is still standing. [4] He also built a sarai, but it was in ruins by the early 1900s. [4]
At the turn of the 20th century, Thulendi was described as a large village or small town, surrounded by orchards and possessing several sites of historical interest. [4] It had two masonry mosques, five temples of Mahadeo, a large primary school, and a bazar that held markets on Thursdays and Sundays. [4] Its population in 1901 was 2,976, including 944 Muslims; the most prominent Hindu groups were the Pasis, the Brahmins, and the Muraos. [4]
The 1961 census recorded Thulendi as comprising 7 hamlets, with a total population of 2,888 people (1,391 male and 1,497 female), in 624 households and 581 physical houses. [5] The area of the village was given as 2,304 acres and it had a post office at the time. [5]
The 1981 census recorded Thulendi as having a population of 3,968 people, in 870 households, and having an area of 929.97 hectares. [3]
