PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: Also
known as Barh ke pura, Barhpura was a thikana of the Bhadawar State and
was granted to Kunwar Raghunath Singh, the youngest son of the
Bhadauria Maharaja Udot Singh of Bhadawar, who became the first Rao
Bahadur of Barhpura. Originally the jagir covered a fair area of about
50 square kilometres, but
during the cession of Etawah district to the British after the
Anglo-Maratha war, the Rao of Barhpura at that time, Rao Padam
Singh Bahadur, was expelled for open hostilty against the British
government in 1803. A small portion of the property was left to his
sucessor, Rao Narendra Singh Bahadur, who continued to recieve 10Rs per
