=Kasganj Town=

Head-quarters of the tahsil of the same name in
Etah District, United Provinces, situated in 27 degree 48' N. and 78 degree 39' E.,
on the Cawnpore-Achhnera Railway, and also on the road from Muttra
to Bareilly. A short branch railway connects Kasganj with Soron near
the Ganges, and an extension to Bareilly is under construction. This
is the chief trade centre of the District, and population is increasing :
(1891) 16,050, (1901) 19,686. The town is said to have been founded
by Yakut Khan, a eunuch in the service of Muhammad Khan, Nawab
of Farrukhabad. It afterwards came into the hands of Colonel James
Gardner, who was in the employ of the Marathas, and later in British
service. He raised a regiment, now known as Gardner's Horse, and
acquired a large property which was dissipated by his descendants.
Part of the property fell into the hands of Dilsukh Rai, once an agent
to the Gardner family, and one of his descendants has built a magnifi-
cent residence near the town. Kasganj stands on an elevated site, its
drainage flowing towards the Kali Nadi, which runs about a mile south-
east of the town.

A new drainage scheme has recently been completed.
The town contains two fine bazars crossing each other at right angles.
At the junction a fine octagonal building, consisting of shops, forms
a suitable centre to the town. The chief public buildings are the town
hall, dispensary tahsil, and munsifi. There are also branches of the
Church Missionary Society and the American Methodist Mission.
Close to the railway station is a considerable colony of railway employes.
The town was constituted a municipality in 1868. During the ten
years ending 1901 the income and expenditure averaged Rs. 15,000.
In 1903-4 the income was Rs. 22,000, chiefly derived from octroi
(Rs. 16,000); and the expenditure was Rs. 23,000. Kasganj is
becoming an important centre for the collection and distribution of
country produce, especially grain, sugar, and cotton. Sugar-refining
is a growing industry, and there were two cotton-gins and a cotton-
press which employed 788 hands in 1903, while another ginning
factory was opened in 1004. The town school has about 190 pupils,
and 16 other schools aided by the municipality have 420 pupils.

 The famous carbuncle healer was Amanullah Khah, a landlord. Once, when the wife of the British District Magistrate of Etah was almost on her deathbed because of the carbuncle on her back, he cured her and refused a reward from the Burra Sahib, saying if he took anything for his service he would lose the gift of healing.
 Panditji suddenly disappeared in the early 1990s. His kiosk was demolished and the ground where the dal and chappatis were made is now the front yard of a house. But whenever one passes that way to Subhash Nagar market one is reminded of Panditji and Kasganj.

 The same thing happened with the second of three daughters of Nawab F Z Khan Sherwani and Amanullah, refusing any reward, returned home to effect more cures till his death in 1988. He, however, came to Agra for the wedding of Manjli Bubu, the girl whom he had relieved of her misery with the near miraculous grass of Kasganj. But only a handful few can bring about cures with it, for it is supposed to be a gift from a Sufi saint to his chosen devotees, though same claim that it’s a boon of the Devi, who is venerated in the riot-hit historic town
