History

Dildarnagar Kamsar or also Known as Kamsar-O-Bar is a large fertile region located on the banks of Ganges and Karamnasa. Its original name is Kamsar which is derived from Kamesaradih where its founder Narhar Khan use to live in his small fort but later Bar(Bara) was added in it. Its history dates back to the time of a Mughal emperor Babur in the year 1530. When two rulers named Maharaja Kam Dev Misir and Maharaja Dham Dev family came with their army to settle here. They were the rulers of present-day Gwalior, Morena and Jhansi and later the ruler of Kanpur and Fatehpur Sikri during Babur and were originally Kanyakubja Brahmins, and now their descendants are counted among Bhumihar Brahmins. They came here after their defeat in the Battle of Madarpur with Babur. They first settled on a place near Gahmar and then the elder brothers (Kam Dev or Rao Dalpat's) family shifted to a place named Dalpatpur now known as Reotipur. From there the family scattered all over Zamania and nearby area and establish more than a hundred villages in Ghazipur, Buxar and present-day Kaimur districts. While Dham Dev's family established Gahmar, Chausa, Bhabua, Chainpur and Kudra. [3] [4]
