Parasadi Estate was a chieftaincy and later a zamindari estate in the Saran district of Bihar, India, dating back to the 16th century. It was ruled by Kishnaut Ahir (Yadav) zamindars and was one of several estates held by Gopa–Ahir chieftains in the region, alongside the Murho Estate, Belwarganj Estate and Ranipatti Estate. Like other zamindaris of Bihar, it was abolished following India's independence under the Bihar land reform legislation of 1949–1950.
History[edit source]
Origins[edit source]
The Parasadi Estate originated as a local chieftaincy held by Kishnaut Ahir chiefs. It took its name from the village of Parasadi in the Parsa subdivision of Saran district. During the Mughal period, Ahir chieftains in the Saran region functioned as revenue intermediaries.
British period[edit source]
Following the grant of the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa to the East India Company in 1765, the chieftains of Saran were brought under the Company's revenue system. The Permanent Settlement of 1793 converted the chieftains into hereditary zamindars. Parasadi thus became a recognised zamindari estate of Saran district.
Abolition[edit source]
After India's independence in 1947, the Government of Bihar moved to abolish the zamindari system. The Bihar Abolition of Zamindaris Act, 1948 received the assent of the Governor-General on 6 July 1949. This was followed by the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Parasadi Estate was abolished along with the other zamindaris of the state.
Geography[edit source]
The estate was situated in Saran district of Bihar, centred on the village of Parasadi in the Parsa subdivision, about 8 km from Parsa and about 40 km from Chhapra.
