Insights into early settlements of Bais rajputs
#Infographic thread ๐Ÿงต
To study the settlements and migration pattern in UP, below district wise population % map is plotted using 1891 census data.
๐ŸšจDo read disclaimer at the end of thread.
Interesting to note that Bais rajputs have their footprints in every district of NW provinces and Oudh.
To make it simple to read, only districts with 3% & > pop are mentioned in map.
# Highest population of #Bais rajputs (Hindus & Muslims combined) was in Rae Bareli: 9.23%
# Followed by Azamgarh, which had just slightly less than Rae Bareli (present Azamgarh and Mau districts): 8.79%
# Overall the tract of Rae Bareli, Faizabad, Azamgarh had the highest population of Bais rajputs reported.
# Among Bais rajputs of Hindu faith, highest population was reported in Rae Bareli: 9.71%
# Followed by former Azamgarh (8.89%), Faizabad (6.51%) then Banda and Hamirpur.
# Interestingly among Bais rajputs who embraced Islam, highest population was reported in former Basti district (present Basti, Siddharthnagar, Sant Kabir nagar): 37.46%
# Followed by former Sultanpur (9.46%) and Faizabad (6.53%).
# When both Hindu and Muslim Bais rajputs are plotted against each other to highlight district by majority of faith.
Then Hindu Bais overshadowed Muslim Bais in every district except four districts namely, former Basti, Gonda, Bulandshahr and Muzaffarnagar districts.
