History

Bakhtiyarnagar was the seat of a branch of the Amanzai Pathans, who had originally settled in nearby Garhi Sanjar Khan in 1656. [2] One member, Sarmast Khan, branched off and moved to Bakhtiyarnagar in 1693. [2] His son, Dilawar Khan, achieved high rank under the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar, receiving mansabdar status and the title "Nawab Shamsher Khan". [2] He amassed an estate of over 100 villages and was granted a jagir of 3 lakhs of rupees. [2] However, his son Makarim Khan fell into disfavour during the time of Safdar Jang and, realising he was distrusted, fled to Rohilkhand. [2] His jagir was confiscated, although Bakhtiyarnagar and a few other villages were later restored to him through the intervention of the Rohilla leader Hafiz Rahmat Khan. [2] Bakhtiyarnagar then remained under his descendants' control through the early 20th century. [2]

At the turn of the 20th century, Bakhtiyarnagar was described as a small village with a lower primary school and a bazaar that held weekly markets. [2] The village lands were under extensive cultivation and irrigated by wells; about 10% of the village lands were covered by orchards. [2] Its population in 1901 was 1,476 people, including 682 Muslims. [2]

The 1961 census recorded Bakhtiyarnagar (as "Bakhtiarnagar") as comprising 1 hamlet, with a total population of 1,355 (719 male and 636 female), in 260 households and 201 physical houses. [4] The area of the village was given as 477 acres. [4]

The 1981 census recorded Bakhtiyarnagar as having a population of 1,543 people, in 276 households, and covering an area of 192.64 hectares. [3]
