History of Gonda / valiant kayastha Rai Jagat Singh .
http://gonda.nic.in/History.htm
From earliest days of Muslim domination down to the advent of Akbar,the history of the district is primarily the history of local clans, while some of them migrated into this district during this period .During the early phase of his period the whole of Gonda was ruled by law caste aborigines-Doms,Tharus,Bhars,Pasis and the like. Tradition States that the Jain dynasty of Sahet-Mahet gave place to the Doms of Domangarh on the bank of Rapti in Gorakhpur, and that of this race came Ugrasen a notable Raja who built Domariadih once a town situated on the road from Gonda to Faizabad.
The Ugrasen brought misfortune for himself by demanding in marriage the daughter of Brahmana.This insult was avenged by a valiant Kayastha named Rai Jagat Singh,who came from Sultanpur with a large force and overthrew the Dom. The year of this incident is traditionally given as 1376.
This story is old as a prelude to the early Rajput domination of the south of the District.The first clans of whom mention is made are the Bandhalgoties,Kalhans and Bais. Of the later nothing is known and they are presumed to be of indigenous origin. The Bandhalgotis settled in pargana Nawabganj and thence spread in north into Mahadeva and Mankapur where they established an independent principality,which flourished for many generations.The pargana was given in reward to one Nawal Shah of Amethi in district Sultanpur who had accompanied Rai Jagat Singh and had distinguished himself in the capture of Ramanpur.Another story relates that the same Rai Jagat singh gave Mahadeva to one Sahaj Singh of Gujrat the founder of the Kalhans plan in this district. He is said to have joined the rebellion of Baha-ud-din of Malwa against Mohammad-bin-Tuglaq and on its suppression fled for refuge to his friend Ain-ud-din of Karra.
