History
Role in the Mughal empire
The Barha Sayyid tribe was famous throughout the country for its obstinate valour and love of fight, as well as religious fervour.[3]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The tribe traditionally composed the vanguard of the imperial army, which they alone held the hereditary right to lead in every battle.[4]Template:Full
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
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]
