&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
According to tradition, Bilgram was founded in the 9th or 10th century by the [[Raikwar]] king Raja Sri Ram.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He conquered the place from the [[Thathera]]s, named it &amp;quot;Srinagar&amp;quot; after himself, and built the fort, temple, and the Sagar tank.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The Raikwars then ruled the area until the Muslim conquest, but when or how that happened is unclear.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Srinagar was then renamed by the Muslim conquerors Bilgram after a legendary demon Bil. From here the Delhi Sultanate went on to control and dominate Oudh in 1217 under Iltutmish Shams ad-Din ibn al-Kutbi Yalam Khan (1210/1211–1236).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two officers who conquered the region and Srinagar were the ancestors of talukdars Bilgram existed at least until the end of the 19th century. After it was made capital of a [[Pargana]] in the time of [[Akbar]] the Great, which was then ruled by Sayyid in 1000 but served with soldiers and included neighbouring Pargana Bang. A local saint killed a demon called Bel and took the name derived Belgram to Bilgram.&lt;br /&gt;

The Sadaat Bilgram are a group of [[Sayyid]] families who inhabit the historic town of Bilgram in [[Hardoi District]]. Saadat-e-Bilgram literally means the [[Sayyid]] of the town of Bilgram. These Hussaini Sayyids first migrated from [[Wasit, Iraq]] in the 13th century.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=ds4IFuJDl-QC&amp;amp;pg=PA92&amp;amp;dq=Sayyids+of+Bilgram&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=deO9UMP3IYLLmAWpyYDoCw&amp;amp;ved=0CEAQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=Bilgram&amp;amp;f=false Essays in Arabic Literary Biography: 1350 - 1850], Roger M.

&lt;br /&gt;
In 1217-18 the family conquered and settled in Bilgram.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=pR0LzVCpfw8C&amp;amp;pg=PA166&amp;amp;dq=Sayyids+of+Bilgram&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=4ze_UIyuIsbImAW2l4DIAQ&amp;amp;ved=0CDEQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=Bilgram&amp;amp;f=false Islam in South Asia in Practice], Barbara D.

&lt;br /&gt;
Sixth in descent from Syed Mohammad Sughra was Syed Abdul Farah of Wasit (from him are descendants of most renowned Sayyid families in Northern India, the Barhah and Bilgram Sayyids; and in Khairabad, Fatehpur Haswa and at many other places branches of the same stem are found.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?ei=rzy_UKTvA6PPmAXI4YCIBw&amp;amp;id=AJoHAQAAIAAJ&amp;amp;dq=Sayyids+of+Bilgram&amp;amp;q=Bilgram The imperial gazetteer of India, Volume 13], Sir William Wilson Hunter, Trübner &amp;amp; co., 1887&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;), who was the ancestor of the [[Saadat-e-Bara]], another community of [[Sayyid]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;A Gazetteer of Hardoi District Volume XLI: Gazetteers of the United Provinces edited by H.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Bilgrami Sayyid were important power brokers in the southern part of [[Awadh]], and remained an important and influential clan, throughout the Middle Ages. They provided several [[taluqdar]] families, and were substantial landowners.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Three edited by A Hasan &amp;amp; J C Das&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the most notable persons of the Bilgram are Allama Azad Bilgrami (1704-1786), Syed Ali Bilgrami(1851-1911), Imad-ul-Mulk Bahadur Syed Hussain Bilgrami(1842-1926), Sursuba of Malwa and Isagarh estate Khan Bhadur Syed Ali Bahadur Bilgrami.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present time Maulana Abid Bilgrami is an internationally known name in the field of Islamic studies. There are many civil servants belongs to Bilgram of whom SAT Rizvi, Kamran Rizvi and Dr Mohd Iliyaas Rizvi are some of the important names. Unfortunately, Bilgram has lost the sheen that it once had in the field of scholarship. In this regard famous Urdu poet of Bilgram Huzoor Bilgrami says:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ab to talchhat zeenat-e-jaam-o-suraahi hai &amp;#039;huzoor&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
loosely translated as (Now only sediment remained for the pitcher,&lt;br /&gt;
once bilgram was the envy of the people of tastes)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bilgram is located on the Billahaur-Katra State Highway&lt;br /&gt;
*Distance from Kannauj-29&amp;amp;nbsp;km&lt;br /&gt;

*Distance from Lucknow - 110&amp;amp;nbsp;km&lt;br /&gt;
*Distance From Farrukhabad - 70&amp;amp;nbsp;km&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around the turn of the 20th century, Bilgram was described as a large town with thriving commerce and several historical monuments.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; At the time, Bilgram served as a tehsil and pargana headquarters, and it had a [[munsifi]], police station, [[dispensary]], post office, inspection bungalow, and cattle pound, as well as an [[upper primary school]] that lay on a site previously occupied by the town&amp;#039;s fort.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; There was also a military encampment on the north side of town.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that time, Bilgram was a moderately important trading hub, with Hardoi and [[Madhoganj]] being its main trading partners.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; There were several markets in town, including the two old ones called the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;bari&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;chhoti&amp;#039;&amp;#039; bazaars that had been built by the Nazim Hakim Mehndi Ali Khan.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; To the south of the town lay the Rafaiyatganj market, also built by him, but by that point it had declined significantly.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The main reason for its decline was the construction of two new bazaars in town: one by Sarju Parshad, which hosted markets on Sundays and Wednesdays, and the other by Wasi Haidar, taluqdar of [[Bhogetapur]], which held them on Mondays and Thursdays.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Bilgram was not a major industrial centre at the time, it was noted for producing &amp;quot;lac-glazed pottery of pleasing design, especially in the shape of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[amritban]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[gharra]]s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, which were variously painted green or yellow, or decorated with [[Metal leaf|silver leaf]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Other manufactured goods produced in Bilgram included carved doors and [[lintel]]s, various wooden items (especially sandals), leather shoes, brass [[inkstand]]s, and [[Paan dan|paan boxes]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gazetteer&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
