Listen to me - Preface of the book

Listen to me ……..

While studying the of history of Oudh (Awadh), I came across the name of Maulvi Shaikh Habib-ur-Rahman ,a Chakladar of the Nawabi and a Taluqdar of British period who was highly appreciated by a British Official for his steadfastness and influence especially in the backdrop of the Uprising of 1857. Again I happened to read a few lines about him in the gazetteer of Oudh by Charles W.Bennet published in 1878 at Page 74, Vol 1 as follows:-

Habib-ur-Rahman was a chakladar under the Oudh king, and holds a large estate under the English. Another native, Ghulam Ali Khan, constructed a mosque and sarai.

As inquisitive I am, I tried to know more about him but alas nothing was readily available! We do keep records of film industry but forget to save the records of our own forefathers. Nothing concrete was available in any Urdu/Persian book. Then I looked some old British papers in the libraries of Delhi and Allahabad and as always it was the British who preserved our history and names of our ancestors.

After getting clues about him in the Gazetteer of Unnao , I tried to learn more about his estate and his successors but nobody could tell me where his family was and what happened to his vast land holdings that he maintained from 1855 to 1875.

As the luck would have it, during one of my trips to Kanpur, I discussed his name with some of my friends who ,in turn, discussed this with their friends of Unnao ( Formerly Unao , Asiwan is now a part of this district to which the Maulvi belonged to). As a result of this verbal communication, I was taken to see a gentleman named Akhlaq-ur-Rahman Siddiqui who is rarely known by his real name for he is widely known as Elvi in Unnao & Kanpur both. To my pleasant surprise , this gentleman turned out to be a great-grand son of Maulvi Shaikh Habib ur Rahman of Asiwan. He himself was looking for some more information about his distinguished forefather. He told me some of the facts which was little known by the people and goaded me for further research. Then I started on a journey of re-searching and discovering the facts about Maulvi Habib ur Rahman. Here is what I have collected and I would call it sufficient until someone comes up with more substantial facts and figures.

I look forward to your comments & suggestions.

Asiwan ( Unnao )

Before we go ahead, let’s have a look Asiwan and the district of Unnao at present.
Asiwan lies to the north east of city Unnao. It is a picturesque spot with a high sandy land with Sai river to the north of the town. It is situated 16 miles north west of Mohan and 20 miles north of Unnao. Safipur, another famous town, lies 8 miles to the south west.The Imperial Gazetteer of India Vol VI gives the following account about Asiwan:-

Asiwan. — Town in the Mohan tahsil of Unao District, United
Provinces, situated in 26 48' N. and 8o° 28' E., on the bank of a fine
lake 20 miles north of Unao town. Population (1901), 6,153. It is
said to have been founded in the eleventh century by a dhobi or washer-
man, named Asun, but has no history. Asiwan contains a number of
mosques and temples, and a fine masonry sarai built early in the
nineteenth century. There is a small manufacture of coarse cotton
cloth, and a market is held twice a week. A school has about 98 pupils.

As on today (in 2010) Unnao District has been divided into 5 Tehsils Unnao, Hasanganj, Safipur, Purwa & Bighapur and 16 development Blocks namely - Ganj Moradabad, Bangarmau, Fatehpur Chaurasi, Safipur, Miyanganj, Auras, Hasanganj, Nawabganj, Purwa, Asoha, Hilauli, Bighapur, Sumerpur,Bichia, Sikandarpur Sirausi, Sikandarpur Karan.

In the days of Akbar, the area covered by the district was included in sirkar Lucknow of the Suba (province) of Avadh, During the days of nawabs of Avadh, the eastern portion of the district formed the chakla of Purwa. The portion of the district lying to the north of this chakla was included in the chaklas of Rasulabad and Safipur which also included the mahal of Mohan.

After the annexation of Awadh by the British in February 1856, the district, then called district Purwa came into existence and the head-quarter was shifted from Purwa to Unnao. The district then contained 13 parganas namely Bangarmau, Fatehpur Chaurasi, Safipur, Pariar, Sikandarpur, Unnao, Harha, Asiwan-Rasulabad, Jhalotar-Ajgain,Gorinda Parsandan, Purwa, Asoha and Mauranwan.

In 1869, parganas Panhan Patan, Bihar, Bhagwantnagar, Magaryar, Ghatampur and Daundia khera were transferred from district Rae Bareli to tehsil Purwa of this district, and pargana Auras-Mohan was transferred from district Lucknow to the old tehsil Nawabganj of this district. When the tehsil headquarters were removed first to Mohan and, again in 1891, to Hasanganj.

Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman was the chakladar of the above mentioned Zila Purwa (Dist Purwa) that covered the purwa, safipur, Mohan, Rasulabad,Fatehpur Chaurasi and Asiwan parganas etc.

Birth, Family & Education:

Maulvi Habib ur Rahman was a resident of Asiwan, Unnao. His father Shaikh Ahmad Zaman was a well-to-do Landlord of the area and was held in high esteem for his piety and helpful attitude. Maulvi Habib ur Rahman was born in Asiwan around 1805. As per the custom of that era he studied firstly at home and then at Asiwan and Safipur with several teachers there till he completed his education and became a qualified Aalim.He was a sharp, intelligent and courageous person.

As per the book " Ain ul Wilayat" written by Mushi Wilayat Ali Khan of Safipur with the biographies of the saints of Safipur, it appears clearly that the family of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman was originally from Safipur and he was closely connected with the family of Makhdoom Shah Safi ( Rahmatullahi Aliahi). The excerpt is given below

Career  

He took service in the accounts & revenue department of the King of Awadh in 1821 and worked honestly and tirelessly in maintaining the true picture of collections of revenues and personal accounts of the Shah as well. His hard work paid him a lot and he was promoted constantly and was trusted for greater responsibilities. His greatest fortune came when he was appointed a Chakladar. For your information, for land revenue purposes, the kingdom of awadh was divided into Chaklas which numbered twelve. In theory each chakla was to be under a Chakladar but in 1838 only six chakladars was appointed for the whole of Kingdom, holding six or seven chaklas and were virtually the supreme authority in Awadh.  The Chakladar represented the state in the countryside and collected direct from the landowners and local magnates at the same time.

Badrinath was the Chakladar of Asiwan & Mohan etc since 1253-54 fasli but he oppressed the rayyat (Ryot) so much that they complained & refused to cooperate with him and after a span of five years Badrinath surrendered the Ijara to Shah Wajid Ali.  He was widely disliked and hated for his ways of extraction.

Keeping in view the long faithful services and also the influence of the family ,In 1853-54, Wajid Ali Shah, the King of Oudh (Awadh) appointed Maulvi Habib ur Rahman the Chakladar of Zila Purwa ( then spelt as Zillah Poorwah) that comprised of Asiwan, Rasoolabad, Fatehpur Chaurasi ,Safipur and Mohan pargana/tehsils etc.

As mentioned earlier Chakladar was an important officer that worked sometimes under or as Nazim and dispersed ready justice as well. They usually resided in their forts, kept a posse of soldiers and enjoyed great power & status. There were several Qanungos and Patwaris under a

Page 7

Chakladar who kept the records of drawings of the fields and kept a detailed account of the revenue collected.

Maulvi Habib had a very strong Garhi ( Fort ) with a loyal army and Thana in Asiwan around a lake where he had his ancestral house as well. It is the same place where he had laid the foundation of a massive housing complex too. He performed his duties as a Chakladar quite well till February 1856 when the British captured Lucknow and deposed the King of Oudh Wajid Ali Shah and incorporated the province into British India. Above I have given you a page quoting the table of the demand and collections of the Chakladars of Pargana Mohan, Zila Purwa (Then called Zillah Purwah) including the Maulvi Sahibs.

After the British Capture

From 1261 Fasli till the uprising he performed the duties as the Chakladar of Mohan, Asiwan, Fatehpur Chaurasi etc. At the time of annexation of Awadh, when the British took control of the Unnao, they found the maulvi sahib in Asiwan and keeping in view his tenure as Chakladar of Oudh and most importantly his strong influence in the whole area in maintaining the law & order, they awarded large tracts of land in Miyanganj, Asiwan and Fatehpur Chaurasi to him and enlisted him as the Talukdar of Miyanganj. Maulvi Sahib was allowed to continue his duties as Chakladar even after the British Capture until the year came 1857 when the Indians got up against the British and it is now known as the “The great Indian Uprising of 1857” while the British termed it as “ the Great Mutiny of 1857. It is important to note that Maulvi Sahib was in Asiwan when the “Mutiny” broke but he did not take part in the unorganized effort at all ,He did not participate in the uprising at all and kept himself away from the disturbance. He did not like Chaudhri Mansab Ali of Mohan and retired to his Garhi (fort) in Asiwan. He was against the inhumane killings, arson, loot and that too without any defined goal and leader. He remained calm at his fort. Though he might have sympathy with his countrymen and their struggle but the way the whole uprising was managed (or rather mis-managed) and he could very well see and judge that this unorganized struggle is not going to bear fruits, he maintained a policy of neutrality.

Following is an excerpt from an highly confidential communication from Captain HL Evans ( Deputy Commissioner of Poorwah) to G.Couper Esq. Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Oudh, Lucknow dated 31,March 1858 ,written from Oonam ( Unao) which is self explanatory

This shows clearly that Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman had a neutral approach towards the 1857 struggle. Neither did he support the rebels nor did he help the British. Rather it seems he was such an influential person that the British had no option but to hand over the management of Fatehpur Chaurasi, Mohan and Asiwan areas to him immediately after the annexation of kingdom of Oudh. This refutes the people who say the Habib ur Rahman got the Taluqdari by helping the British. This is historically wrong. Rather we should say that Habib-ur-Rahman was a man of so much of influence that British had no way but to accept him as the most competent authority over the territory he held for the past many years since his Chakladari.

Additionally, it is also a testimony to Maulvi Sahib’s honesty and integrity as the English officer himself disapproved the claim made by his predecessor Bal Kishan of keeping 2.5 lakhs of rupees in arrears. The officer says that this claim existed only in Bal kishan’s imagination.

This is what Colonel Sleeman has written in his wonderful book, "A Tour in Oude Col Sleeman "

After 1860

In the year 1860 the British reorganized the province and they created a new Taluqa with the name Miyanganj and Maulvi Habib ur Rahman was enlisted as the Taluqdar of Miyanganj is a populated town about 18 miles north east of Unnao district centre, upon a road from Lucknow to Safipur. Formerly it was called Bhopatpur and was named “MIYANGANJ” by Miyan Almas Ali Khan, a eunuch and finance minister under Asaf ud daulah in 1771 A.D. A fine bridge was built by him here over Sai river. The uprising was crushed here in 1857. After Maulvi Sahib was enlisted as the Taluqdar of Miyanganj , he continued to stay at his headquarters Asiwan and most of his landed properties were in Safipur , Mohan, Purwa, Fatehpur Chaurasi area.

Later life & Death

Maulvi Habib ur Rahman did not have any child for a very long time therefore in order to clarify on the issue of succession as per the norms, he had to adopt & nominate a successor for himself. His choice fell on a young guy who was a son of his dedicated servant Lal Khan. The boy Wasi uz Zaman, son of Lal Khan ,a servant of Maulvi Sahib was adopted and nominated as “Khalaf” (Successor) of Maulvi Sahib in case of his death. Now as the luck would have it, few years before the death of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman in around 1870 his wife bore him two sons one after another and both were named , Khalil-ur-rahman and Jalil-ul-Rahman. Unfortunately when both were toddlers, their father Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman passed away on 27 September 1875 leaving them orphan. The cause of death has also been shrouded in mystery so far. Anyway their courageous mother Fasulan Bibi did not lose heart and asked Wasi uz Zaman to manage the estate whereas she supervised the whole affairs behind the veil. Since both the rightful successors were minors, the Taluka went into the court of wards

Page 11

Furthermore both of the sons were sent to the newly established Mohammadan Anglo Oriental School (M.A.O College) at Aligarh by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan who was a friend of his father Maulvi Habib-ur Rahman. This M.A.O School later on became the Aligarh Muslim University. While the sons of Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman were studying in Aligarh, the estate was being managed by Wasi uz Zaman (as caretaker) and it seems that the dispute had already begun by then as to who will succeed to this large estate along with the privileges of being a Taluqdar of Oudh.

Here is a caption from the Gazetteer of Oudh by W. Bennet Vol III paged 536 that is the irrefutable evidence that the succession of Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman was in dispute. This book was published in 1878.

After the completion of their studies at Aligarh, when both of the sons returned, they found Wasi uz Zaman as the de-facto Taluqdar of the estate and for obvious reasons he was not willing to leave the seat after enjoying the rule for the past so many years. When the real successors, both the sons of Maulvi Sahib found the situation quite grim and they sensed that if they rose against Wasi uz Zaman, it would lead to an un-ending chain of unfavourable events and even bloodshed, they withdrew from Asiwan, relinquished their claim as Taluqdar of Miyanganj and left Asiwan with their mother, taking up a large tract of land around Safipur for themselves. A very large number of villages near safipur, Maulvi Khera, Rahimabad area were farmed and managed by Maulvi Khalil-ur-Rahman, the eldest son of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman. I would further claim that Khalil ur Rahman had taken over as the Taluqdar of Miyanganj after his return and was mentioned in the revenue records as Taluqdar. (Please see the doc on page no. 29. May I know why he was mentioned a Taluqdar here? The Answer is simple, he was the eldest son of his father Maulvi Habib ur Rahman and the government knew that well. Even after this, if both these brothers forsake their claim to the seat, I would call it a sage’s sacrifice. No ordinary man can leave such a large estate with royal privileges so easily.

In one of documents attached below, you shall see that Khalil ur Rahman is clearly mentioned as the Taluqdar and also as Numberdar. The document is dated 5 May 1893 when Khalil ur Rahman visited the record room and verified the document0s. It proves that Khalil ur Rahman was already in charge of the taluqa being the eldest son of the Title holder Maulvi Habib ur Rahman and he later on withdrew himself because of the reasons I have given.

This is a unique instance of sacrifice by Maulvi Khaleel-ur-Rahman where he happily relinquished his claim to Taluqdari and all the privileges that were associated with the Taluqdari and left his father’s house and village just to avoid a future tussle and blood-shed. I don’t remember any such sacrifice in recent times where a legally bonafide heir quit his claim just to avoid any disturbance and bloodshed despite that fact that he was capable of handling all such situations competently. Hats off to Maulvi Khalil-ur-Rahman! Maulvi Khalil-ur-Rahman was an educated person. Since he had got a very large part of the estate for himself, he erected a house in Molvi Khera village in Safipur and settled there to manage his Zamindari. In the city of Unnao he constructed houses at Qaisar ganj and Chaudhrana mohallas in Unnao and was known as Khaleel Miyan, Raees of Unao. He held a respectable position in the city and was elected to the Municipality of Unnao. He was a keen cricketer with a passion in hunting and wildlife sports. He passed away in 1954 and was survived by three sons and two daughters. His younger brother Jalil ul Rahman was a government servant and went on to become a Tehsildar.

Tragedy & Confusions

Ironically the gazetteer of Unao, written in 1903, creates a lot of confusion and did not give a true picture of the facts. It seems the gazetteer was influenced and manipulated where Wasi-uz-zaman had been mentioned at one place as successor and at other place as son of Habib-ur-Rahman which is absolutely wrong and incorrect. The writer of the gazetteer made a several mistakes as such. Since Wasi uz Zaman was the head of the Taluqa at the time when the gazetteer was being written, it is not unlikely that several facts were not told to create these misconceptions.

The British author of Gazetteer felt shame in acknowledging that the Maulvi was given the Taluqa because he was so influential and  found competent to be enrolled as Taluqdar, rather to justify the British Grant , he mischeviously wrote that the Taluqa was granted in return of his loyal services.

I could not find any such instance or evidence where I could see Maulvi Sahib supporting the British. If anyone has the same, please forward it me , I shall amend my claim.

For example the correct date of death of Maulvi Sb in the Gazetteer of Oudh is mentioned as 27 Sep 1875 but the Gazetteer of Unnao (page 80) mentions the year of death 1878. Now for a student like us, it creates confusion!

Another example - On page 80 , the gazetteer says that Wasi uz Zaman is the current head of the family and at the end of paragraph says that the estate is under management of court of wards ? It is a joke, when a person is already in-charge of a Taluka , how could it be under the management of court of wards ? Both cannot be correct. So this is the level of authenticity of Gazetteer that it has only copied and compiled the information without any cross check.

Can anyone tell me about the period when the taluka was under the court of wards? Who was the ward ? Was it Khalil ur Rahman , the eldest son of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman OR was it Wasi uz Zaman ? If it was Khalil ur Rahman then why did he not continue as Taluqdar when he came of age ? If it was not Khalil ur Rahman then was it Wasi uz Zaman? If it was Wasi uz Zaman, then certainly he was not minor in 1903 when the gazetteer was written. Wasi uz zaman had already taken over by that time. Then what was the purpose of writing this sentence “estate is under management of court of wards “in 1903. Let me tell you that neither wasi uz zaman nor Khalil ur Rahman was minor in 1903. Both were grown up adult rather Wasi uz Zaman had already taken over the Taluka by then.

Can anyone shed some light on this confusing information by the Gazetteer of Unao?

The readers would notice that these statements are undoubtedly wrong and deviated from truth since Maulvi Sahib had two sons and his descendents are still living in Unnao and NOT in Asiwan. As per the family Shajra and records of the Khasra & Khewat , Wasi uz zaman was in no way related to Maulvi Habib ur Rahman. He was just a nominated successor who had not handed over the estate to the sons who were the rightful successors of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman.(Please refer the revenue record attached at the end of this booklet where he has clearly been mentioned as the Khalaf( Successor ) and son of Lal Khan. It is noteworthy that Khalaf is an Arabic word that means “Successor, the one who comes after you while its opposite is Salaf which means predecessor , the one who comes before you. One would notice that in all revenue papers Khalil-ur-Rahman & Jalil-ur-Rahman have been mentioned as ‘Pisran’ (Persian- meaning “sons) whereas Wasi-uz-Zaman has been mentioned as only “Khalaf” (Successor).

I have attached a number of revenue records with this booklet to substantiate the fact that Khalil ur-Rahman & Jalil-ur-Rahman only were the two sons of Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman, taluqdar of Miyanganj and Wasi uz Zaman was neither the son of Habib ur Rahman nor was he related with blood to him in any way. After going through at all these papers and considering the factual position, if anyone claims that Maulvi Habib-ur-Rahman had no issue, he is a liar who is trying to spread a blatant lie in the broad daylight. Having said that I would go to the extent that I can now challenge the entries recorded in the Gazetteer of Unao where it mentions Wasi uz Zaman as the son of Maulvi Habib ur Rahman. It is absolutely wrong and incorrect which undoubtedly had been manipulated and written without verifying the facts. It was the gazetteer who is the real culprit and which is being quoted repeatedly over the last 100 years by our naïve and lazy scholars who have blindly spread the same lie so much that this truth got shrouded in mystery and today it is almost unknown to the present generation.

As for the misconception amongst few that Habib-ur-Rahman supported the British with his army and ammunitions and in reward of this, British granted him the estate & title. I have already busted this myth that Maulvi Sahib was a man of character and influence and he did not flatter or dishonestly sold his faith to get a reward. He was already a man of influence, was a Khaandani Ra'ees & Zamindar, besides he had the privilege of being the Chakladar of Shah-i-Awadh, therefore British only acknowledged his supremacy over the land and rightly enlisted his name as the Taluqdar. I would appreciate if anyone could show me a single proof of Maulvi Sb supporting the British. I am sure there is no such evidence. This confusion is again created by the British Gazetteer of Unnao that mentioned his Loyal services as the sole reason for enlisting him to the status of a Taluqdar. I , despite my best efforts, could not find any single proof that could support this false notion of the so called loyal Services of Maulvi sahib extended to the British. It is again a myth created by the British. I am sorry to find none of our Indian Scholars had taken any pain to explore the facts and present the truth before us. They have simply followed the Gazetteers and did not do any search of truth.
