'''Shahabad''' is a [[town]] nearby [[Hardoi|Hardoi city]] and a [[municipal board]] in [[Hardoi district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. At one point of time it was counted among the few biggest cities of [[Oudh]], but declined rapidly in later period and now reduced to a town. It is the site of the Tomb of Diler Khan, a governor in the time of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb.

As of 2011, the population of Shahabad is 80,226, in 13,958 households.<ref name="Census 2011">{{cite web |title=Census of India 2011: Uttar Pradesh District Census Handbook - Hardoi, Part A (Village and Town Directory) |pages=69–98, 578–81, 589|url=https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/09/0924_PART_A_DCHB_HARDOI.pdf |website=Census 2011 India|access-date=17 May 2021}}</ref> It is the seat of a [[tehsil]] and a [[community development block]].<ref name="Census 2011"/> Important local industries include [[carpet]] weaving, building materials, and [[dairy products]].<ref name="Census 2011"/>

== History==
{{more citations needed section|date=June 2019}}
According to a tradition recorded by [[Joseph Tiefenthaler]] in the 1700s, Shahabad occupied the site of a former village called Angadpur, after its founder Angad, the nephew of [[Rama]].<ref name="Gazetteer">{{cite book |last1=Nevill |first1=H.R. |title=Hardoi - A Gazetteer |date=1904 |publisher=Government Press |location=Allahabad |pages=266–74 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.48076 |access-date=17 May 2021}}</ref> Modern Shahabad was founded in 1677 by one Nawab Diler Khan, a [[Pathan]] officer in the Mughal army, who had been sent to quell an uprising in [[Shahjahanpur]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He overthrew the Pande Parwars of [[Angni Khera]] (which, according to [[H.R. Nevill]], is probably the correct form of Tiefenthaler's "Angadpur") and was in turn granted their territory as a [[jagir]], upon which he then founded Shahabad.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Diler Khan populated the new city of Shahabad with fellow Pathan kinsmen and soldiers, and many of the neighbourhoods of the city today bear the names of his followers.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He built a brick palace at the centre of town, called the ''Bari Deorhi'', which Tiefenthaler described upon his visit in 1770 as being "strengthened by towers like a fortress, with a [[Vestibule (architecture)|vestibule]] and a covered [[colonnade]]."<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The palace no longer exists, although the two grand gateways are still standing.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Diler Khan also built the city's [[Jama Masjid]] as well as his own mausoleum.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Both of them are built out of dressed [[kankar]] blocks.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The mausoleum's upper story contains bands of florid decoration in red stone, a style common to architecture of that period which can also be seen in the complex surrounding the [[Taj Mahal]] in [[Agra]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He also built a grand pond near the mausoleum, known as ''Narbada''.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Shahabad declined rapidly during the late 1700s, as Mughal power waned and was replaced in this region by the [[Nawabs of Awadh]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Already by 1799, [[William Tennant (traveller to India)|William Tennant]] described it as being in ruins.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> In 1824, [[Reginald Heber]], Bishop of Calcutta, traveled to Shahabad and described it as a "considerable town or almost city with the remains of fortifications and many large houses."<ref>Nevill, H.R. ed., Hardoi - A Gazetteer, 1904, Govt. Press United Provinces, pp. 266-274</ref>

The descendants of Nawab Diler Khan Daudzai also moved to a nearby area which under the zamindari and named this place as Wazirabad which is now known as village HARRAI, comes under Tehsil Shahbad, District Hardoi.
