Hanswar’s history dates back long before to the time of first mughal. It’s valorous chandrawanshi rulers such as Raja Ranvijay Singh of Hanswar and her Durgaswaroop wife Rani Jairaj Kunwar who fought Babur for Ram mandir with 25000 brave men at arms and Rani Jairaj Kumari with 3000 females and marted on soil for their pride and religion. Hanswar was also famous for Sadaprat which was arranged by royal family of hanswar state in which any hungry person can have food which went for almost 24 hours a day. Hanswar Riyasat is one of the very few and oldest surviving estate dating long back to 1300s.
==History==
== History ==
Hanswar, located 70-80 miles from [[Ayodhya]], had a history dating back to the Mughal period. The ruler of the estate, Ranvijay Singh and his wife Jaikumari, vehemently opposed the construction of the [[Babri Masjid]] by [[Mir Baqi]] on [[Ram Janmabhoomi]] along with other Hindu rulers of the time. The ''Janmabhoomi Parisar'' was in control of Ranvijay Singh for 15 days well after it became part of the Babri Masjid, after which he died in a battle with the [[Mughal Army]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Chanchal |first1=Brajgopal Rai |title=Mandir Wahi Banayenge Magar Kyon ? |publisher=Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd. |isbn=978-81-284-0032-2 |page=68 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L63ke4pGblQC&dq=hanswar+Ranvijay+Singh&pg=PA68 |language=hi}}</ref>
Hanswar is a small town situated on the banks of river Ghaghra (locally known as Saryu). From the pre-historic period to the time of Akbar, the limits of the province and its internal divisions seem to have been constantly changing, and the name of Oudh, or Awadh, seems to have been applicable to only one of the ancient divisions or Sarkars, nearly corresponding to old Pachhimrath. The title of Subedar of Awadh is mentioned as early as 1280 A.D.
== Education ==
Schools and higher education in Hanswar are administered either by the UPBoard and [[Central Board of Secondary Education|CBSE]], or private organizations. In 2010-2011, there were 7 primary, 6 middle, 3 secondary and 7  senior secondary schools in Hanswar. That year, the higher education institutions in the city included 2 colleges.{{cn|date=October 2020}}
