History

The majority of the village's inhabitants have been a part of the Kurmi community since the 18th century. Following the decline of Mughal rule in the early 18th century, the Indian subcontinent's hinterland dwellers, many of whom were armed and nomadic, began to appear more frequently in settled areas and interact with townspeople and agriculturists. The Kurmi were known for being cultivators and market gardeners. The main reason for this was the significant productivity of the Kurmi, whose success lay in superior use of manure, according to historian Christopher Bayly.[ citation needed ]
