Kara-Manikpur
Kara-Manikpur was a subah in medieval India. It was constituted of two strongholds of Kara and Manikpur, on the opposite side of the river Ganges.[1]
In 1193 Qutb-ud-din Aibak created the subah of Kara-Manikpur with its headquarters at Kara.[2][3] It lost its historical importance when Akbar founded the subah of Allahabad in 1575.[2]
In the eleventh century the warrior saint of Islam, Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud, defeated the princes of Manikpur and Kara, but Muslim rule was not established till the defeat of Jai Chand by Muhammad Ghori. Manikpur and Kara on the opposite bank of the Ganges were important seats of government in the early Muslim period. Alauddin Khilji was governor there, before he gained the throne of Delhi by murdering his uncle on the sands of the river between those two places. In the fifteenth century the district came under the rule of the Sharqi kings of Jaunpur, and after its restoration to Delhi the Rajput chiefs and the Muslim governors were frequently in revolt. The Afghans long retained their hold on the district, and early in the reign of Akbar the governor of Manikpur rebelled.
The Delhi Sultanate's expansion southward into the Deccan had begun as early as 1296, with Garshasb Malik, the governor of Kara Manikpur, launching an attack on Devagiri and forcing the Yadava king Ramacandrain to submission as a tributary of Delhi.
It is still called Kara-Manikpur even though now Kara falls in Kaushambi district while Manikpur has become a part of Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh.
