Sadat e-Bara sometimes pronounced Sadaat-e-Bahara, are a tribe of Indian Muslim Sayyids, originally Elite or Noble Sayyid families situated in the Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh in India.[1] This community had considerable influence during the reign of the Mughal Empire. Its members were also found in Karnal District and Haryana, Gujarat & Karnataka, Maharashtra state in India. Some of the members of this community have migrated to Pakistan after independence and have settled in Karachi, Khairpur State in Sind and Lahore.[citation needed]

History[edit]

Role in the Mughal empire[edit]

The Decapitation of Khan Jahan Lodi (3 February 1631), with Syed Mian Barha on the right and Khan-i Jahan Muzaffar Khan Barha on the left
The Sayyid Brothers were de-facto rulers of the Mughal Empire in the 1710s[2]

The Barha Sayyid tribe was famous throughout the country for its obstinate valour and love of fight, as well as religious fervour.[3][page needed] The tribe traditionally composed the vanguard of the imperial army, which they alone held the hereditary right to lead in every battle.[4][full citation needed]

Aurangzeb's warning to his sons to be cautious in dealing with the Sayyids of Barha, "...because a strong partner in government soon wants to seize the kingship for himself", would eventually become true.[5][6][7]

Six years after the death of Aurangzeb, the Barhas became kingmakers in the Mughal empire under Qutub-ul-Mulk and Ihtisham-ul-Mulk, creating and deposing Mughal emperors at will.[8]

After the Mughal empire[edit]

The Barha Sayyids regained many of their estates from the Marathas and regained their status in the parganah by the time of British arrival.[9]
