BARA BANKI

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 379 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARA BANKI , a town and
district
  of British India in the Fyzabad division of the United Provinces. The town, which forms one municipality with Nawabganj, the administrative headquarters of the
district
 , is 17 M. E. of Lucknow by railway. The population of Bara Banki alone in 1901 was 3020. There is some
trade
  in
sugar
  and
cotton
 .
The district has an area of 1758 sq. m. It stretches out in a level plain interspersed with numerous jhils or marshes. In the upper part of the district the soil is sandy, while in the lower part it is clayey and produces finer crops. The principal livers are the Gogra, forming the northern boundary, and the Gumti, flowing through the middle of the district. In 1856 it came, with the rest of Oudh, under British
rule
 . During the
Sepoy
  war of 1857-1858 the whole of the Bara Banki talukdars joined the mutineers, but offered no serious resistance after the capture of Lucknow. The cultivators are still, for the most part, tenantsat-will, rack-rented' and debt-ridden. In 1901 the population was 1,179,323, showing an increase of 4 % in the decade. The principal crops are
rice
 , wheat,
pulse
  and other food-grains,
sugar
 -cane and opium. Both the bordering rivers are navigable; and the district is traversed by two lines of the Oudh and Rohilkhand railway, with branches.
Trade
  in agricultural produce is active.
