'''KIratpur''', also known as '''Basi Kiratpur''', is a city and a [[municipal board]] in [[Bijnor district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]].

== History ==
Kiratpur as a part of the district [[Bijnor]] shares the same history for most of the time period. It was ravaged by [[Timur]] in 1399, no documented evidence exists about it till the time of [[Mughal emperor]] [[Akbar]], when it formed part of the [[Mughal Empire]] and so continued undisturbed, except for occasional raids, as long as the power of the Mughals survived intact.

In the early part of the 18th century, however, the [[Rohilla Pashtuns]] established their independence in the country called by them Rohilkhand and about 1748 the Rohilla chief Ali Muhammad made his first annexations in Bijnor, the rest of which soon fell under the Rohilla domination. The northern districts including Kiratpur were granted by Ali Muhammad to Najib Khan, who gradually extended his influence west of the Ganges and at Delhi, receiving the title of Najib-ud-daula and becoming paymaster of the royal forces. His success, however, raised up powerful enemies against him, and at their instigation the Marathas invaded Bijnor. This was the beginning of a feud which continued for years. Najib, indeed, held his own, and for the part played by him in the victory of Panipat was made vizier of the empire. After his death in 1770, however, his son Zabita Khan was defeated by the Mahrattas, who overran all Rohilkhand. In 1772 the Nawab of Oudh made a treaty with the Rohillas, covenanting to expel the Marathas in return for a money payment. He carried out his part of the bargain, but the Rohilla chieftains refused to pay.

In 1774 the Nawab concluded with the government of Calcutta a treaty of alliance, and he now called upon the British, in accordance with its terms, to supply a brigade to assist him in enforcing his claims against the Rohillas. This was done; the Rohillas were driven beyond the Ganges, and Bijnor was incorporated in the territories of the Nawab, who in 1774 ceded it to the British East India Company. From this time the history of Bijnor is uneventful until the Mutiny of 1857, when (on 1 June) it was occupied by the nawab of Najibabad, a grandson of Zabita Khan. In spite of fighting between the Hindus and the Muslim Pashtuns the Nawab succeeded in maintaining his position until 21 April 1858, when he was defeated by the British at [[Nagina]]; whereupon British authority was restored.

==Location==
Situated 400 km from the state capital [[Lucknow]] and 160 km from National Capital Delhi, this town lies on [[National Highway 34 (India)|National Highway 34]] between [[Najibabad]] and [[Bijnor]].

==Lifestyle and living==
The population is predominantly composed of traders and small scale industrialists. Majority of population follows [[Hinduism]] or [[Islam]]. Both the communities have lived in harmony for a long time. There is nothing much for entertainment.
People basically try to enjoy with physical entertained by playing a lot there. Cricket and volleyball has been very popular in the town and nearby villages.
