Seorai
Seorai is a village of Chaurasi Sikarwar, and also serve as the headquarters of SeoraiTahsil in region of Ghazipur District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The Seorai tehsil was made a tehsil of the Ghazipur District in year 2016. It consists of 142 villages and one town. Seorai main village has a total area of 878.02 hectares (2,169.6 acres) and a population of 20000 but its total area is 1,082.83 hectares (2,675.7 acres) and a population of 20,530 which also includes Bhadaura. Seorai tehsil has the total area of 366.62 km2 (141.55 sq mi).
Once a village of the historic Jamnia Pargana, Sevrai is now a tehsil with rich historical, geographical, and political significance. It is the birthplace of Shri Omprakash Singh—former MP, ex-minister in the Uttar Pradesh government, and current MLA from Ghazipur.
Sevrai's origins trace back to Shubhasain Dev Rao, one of the six sons of Sainumal Rao, as documented in Evolution and Spatial Organization of Clan Settlement. His descendants—Nihal Rao, Maniyar Rao, and Bakhtaur Rao—expanded their influence across Dharkandha, Sarna, Nauwa, and Itadhi. Even today, their legacy remains visible in the temples and forts of these regions.
Revolted by this tyranny, Nihal Rao, a Sikarwar Rajput, led a rebellion with support from Dheer Singh's queen and Mandev Rai of Revatipur. The decisive battle took place near Giddha pond in Sevrai, ending with the death of Kutulu Khan.
Later, Ummed Rao, a descendant of Sevrai, was betrayed and killed during an arms-worship ceremony in Kasera. Since then, the people of Sevrai have upheld a tradition of not drinking Kasera's water—a living symbol of historical memory and honor.
Today, Sevrai comprises three pattis, inhabited by the descendants of Nihal Rao, Maniyar Rao, and Bakhtaur Rao. Families also reside in nearby villages like Sarna, Nauwa, Mathila, Khudra, and Itadhi. The legacy of Sevrai continues to inspire pride, valor, and deep-rooted cultural identity among its people.
Sevrai has many ponds dug by Kutulu Khan because he used to rule tyrannically by staying safe between the ponds and stepwells.
The place was of Kamsaar estate, actually Kamsar jagir already existed during the time of Narhar Khan founder of Kamsar and revenue was paid to Sur empire. But later during Mughals it was reestablished by Raja Quttul Khan a jagirdar of the pargana and Sarkar, and the divan of the subah. He built a fort here in the early 1600s and dug a canal around it for security during the time of the later years of Akbar's rule. Still some parts of the canal can be seen around the village.
