Gyaspur is a small hamlet in western Uttar Pradesh, India, probably named after Ghiyasuddin balban, a ruler from the slave dynasty. So the village would have been come in picture around 1266 to 1287 AD. The main caste is Tyagi. The village made tremendous sacrifices in the Indian freedom struggle. In 1857, the people of this village were persecuted by the British for participating in the rebellion and lynching 5 horse driven British officers, who came to the village during the rebellion. In retribution to the killing of 5 of their men, and not knowing who were actual killers, British rulers imposed harsh sanctions and severe hardships for the inhabitants of Gyaspur and 4 other surrounding villages,Kumeda, Khindoa, Baneda and Surana. People of the village suffered a lot as a result for nearly a century till the country gained independence. Edited by: Rahul Tyagi
