It used to be a barren land until the Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar asked Raja Syed Mohammad Hayat to make a civilisation on the bank of the Ghaghara river in 1714 A.D. The royal estate of Tanda stretched from the borders of old Awadh State to the borders of Bihar.
Before Indian Rebellion of 1857, Tanda’s then Raja Syed Hussain Ali, with his brother Raja Syed Abbas Ali, stood against British army troops, which were moving towards Delhi, and fought a fierce battle in which many of the Estate’s soldiers died. It was Raja Syed Mohammad Raza who by his virtue of intelligence was able to hold on the legacy.Raja Syed Hussain Abbas continues with the legacy. Today Raja Syed Kazim Raza and holds the heritage.(the only legal heir)
