Nashipur Raj
The Nashipur Raj family descends from Maharaja Tarawah, the ruling chief of Bijapur in the Deccan in the 14th century. His successors were appointed as Subedar and Nazim of the whole tract of country from Saharanpur to Meerut. Another descendant was Rai Dewali Sinha, who left Panipat in the 18th century and arrived in Murshidabad. His son, Devi Sinha, entered the service of the East India Company and was the founder of the Nashipur zamindari.[1]
