History
Haidarnagar was a rajput-dominated region since 1770 when the Mahthan rajputs captured the town. The nawab made a treaty with rajput chief Babu Shiv Dayal Singh. According to the treaty, 24 of 70 villages were granted to Shiv Dayal. The nawabs lost honour and value among the locals. Babu Tapeswari Singh study law from a college in Bihar.His son Biseswar Dayal Singh became a zamindar. He was active in politics and the freedom struggle. He donated acres of lands during the bhoodan gramdan movement of Vinoba Bhave.
The rajputs in this region still have clout and dominate politics. Bijendra Prasad Singh is the present landlord of Babhandih.[1][2][3]
