History


Some scholars have suggested that modern-day Piprahwa-Ganwaria was the site of the ancient city of Kapilavastu, the capital of the Shakya kingdom,[2][3][4] where Siddhartha Gautama spent the first 29 years of his life, according to Buddhist texts such as the Pāli Canon.[5] Others suggest that the original site of Kapilavastu is located 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) to the northwest, at Tilaurakot, in what is currently Kapilvastu District in Nepal.[2][6][7]


Notable individuals from the region have included, freedom fighter Qazi Adeel Abbasi (Bayara Qazi), Haji Noorul Haque (Naugarh Bazar) and Freedom Fighter Maulana Abdul Qayyum Rahmani (Mufassar-e-Quran). Saddened by communal riots and massacre during the partition of India, Maulana Abdul Qayyum Rahmani, an eminent leader of Congress, abandoned politics and settled down in his native village of Dudhwaniya Buzurg in his later years. Freedom fighter Prabhudayal Vidyarthi, arrested at Sevagram and confined in an isolation cell from 1942 to 1945 in Nagpur Jail, Maharashtra, came from Siddharthnagar district. The bridge on Farenda Naugarh-Barhni Shravasti Road is named Prabhu Dayal Vidyarthi Van Ganga Bridge to honour him.
