[edit]Historic importance

Tanda has rich historic background. It was a barren land. Mughal emperor Farrukhsiar,[2] asked Raja Syed Mohammad Hayat, to make a civilization on the bank of Ghagra river in 1714 A.D. reference imperial gazette. The Royal Estate of Tanda stretches from the borders of old awadh to the borders of Bihar.
Before the famous 1857 mutiny, Tanda's then emperor Raja Syed Hussain Ali with his brother Raja Syed Abbas Ali stood against the British army troops, which were moving towards Delhi, and fought a fierce battle in which many of the Estate's soldiers died. It was Raja Syed Mohammad Raza who by his virtue of intelligence was able to hold on the legacy. Raja Syed Mohammad Abbas and Raja Syed Hussain Abbas continued. Today Raja Syed Kazim Raza holds the heritage.
