dary in the province of Bengal, district of Dinagepoor [Dinaj- 
pur], ninety miles N.E. from Moorshedabad [Murshidabad]; 
lat. 25° 13’ N., lon. 89° 10’ E. This Zemindary, which in 1784 
contained 632 square miles, in A.D. 1582 is described by Abul 
Fazel as producing raw silk, gunnies (sack-cloth), and plenty 
of Tanyan horses. At an early period after the Mahomedan 
invasion it appears, along with several others in this quar 
ter, to have been bestowed on different Afghan chiefs, who 
colonized in them, and received accessions of their countty- 
men from abroad. Being zealous converters of the Hindoos, 
and not very scrupulous as to the means, a verv large pr 
portion of the inhabitants to this day profess the Mahomedan 
religion, and dignify themselves with the Arabian title of 
Sheik. In process of time the Ghoraghaut Zemindary Was 
seized on by the Kakeshelan tribe of the Moguls, but fot: 
many years past it has reverted to its present owners, the 
Hindoos. From the traces of ruins still visible the town f
