Brief About Bijnor District
Binor, or more correctly Bijnaur, occupies the north-west
corner of the Rohilkhand or Bareilly Division, and is a roughly
triangular stretch of country with its apex to the north. The western
boundary is formed throughout by the deep stream of the river Ganges,
beyond which lie the four districts of Dehradun, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar
and Meerut, all belonging to the meerut Division. To the north and
north-east in the hill country of Garhwal, the dividing ling being
the submontane road, which runs from Hardwar along the foot of the
Himalayas to Ramanagar, Haldwani and Tanakpur. This road, popularly
known as the Kandi Saradk, belongs throughout its length to Garhwal,
the transfer having taken place a few years since. On the east the
Phika river for the greater part of its course constitutes the boundary,
separating this district from Naini Tal and Moradabad, as far as
its junction with the Ramganga; and to the south lie the Thakurdwara,
Amroha, and Hasanpur tahsils of Moradabad, the boundary being conventional
and undetermined by natural features. The extreme parallels of north
latitued are 29 2' and 29 58' and of east longitude 78 0' and 78
57' from Lalitpur, the most northerly point, to koti Rao in the
furthest eastern corner the distance in 56 miles; and from koti
Rao to Kamharia in the south-westerly angle 57 miles; and from Kamharia
to Lalitpur 62 Miles. The total area of the district is liable to
change slightly from time to time by reason of the erratic action
of the Ganges and Ramganga: in 1906 it amounted to 1,145,272 acres
of 1789-5 square miles, the average for the last five years being
1,147,967 acres.
There remains the low fringe of khadir along the
Ganges to the west. This generally resembles the lowlands that skirt
the rivers of the interior, the low flats which adjoin the stream
itself being purely alluvial in character, while above them rises
a terrace of higher ground extending inland as far as the chain
of staguant morasses lying immediately under the bangar cliff. But
the khadir in the district, at any rate in the southern parganas,
in of a very poor description and no whit better than that on the
opposite bank in Muzaffarnagar and Meerut.
The common tongue of the people in the Urdu or
Hindustani dialect of western Hindi. It has sometimes been classified
separately as Rohilkhandi, but there is really no marked distinction
in idiom or vocabulary between this and Hindustani. The last census
returns show that the entire population, with the exception of a
minute fragment of 740 persons in all, gave Western Hindi as their
mother-tongue, and there is no district in the United provinces
in which Urdu is more widely spoken, both by the peasants and the
educated classes. The other languages enumerated were Punjabi, Pahari,
Marwari, Bengali and English, the last occurring in 35 cases only
This district belongs to Moradabad division of
UTTAR PRADESH.
