SARDHANA

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 210 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SARDHANA , a town of British India, in Meerut
district
  of the United Provinces, 12 M. by
rail
  N.W. of Meerut. Pop. (1901), 12,467. Though now a decayed place, Sardhana is historically famous as the residence of the Begum Samru (d. 1836). This extraordinary woman was a Mussulman married to Reinhardt or Sombre (Samru), the perpetrator of the massacre of British prisoners at Patna in 1763. On his death in 1778 she succeeded to the command of his
mercenary
  troops. Ultimately she was baptized into the Roman Catholic
Church
 , and bequeathed an immense fortune to charitable and religious uses. She built in Sardhana a Roman Catholic
cathedral
 , a college for training priests, and a handsome palace.
