'''Kara-Manikpur''' was a ''[[subah]]'' (province) in [[Medieval India]]. It consisted of two strongholds: [[Kara, Uttar Pradesh|Kara]] and [[Manikpur, Uttar Pradesh|Manikpur]], located on opposite sides of the river [[Ganges]], in what is now the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=75FlxDhZWpwC&pg=PA246&lpg=PA246&dq=Kara+Manikpur&source=bl&ots=Nw_uQfx7Ni&sig=ZYB7dJdHb9r_qBbmXclsxwrTga0&hl=en&ei=bT_OTezDOIztrQfGn-jCCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEEQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=Kara%20Manikpur&f=false Al-Hind: the slave kings and the Islamic conquest : 11th - 13th centuries], Volume 2 By André Wink</ref><br />
<br />
In the eleventh century the warrior saint of [[Islam]], [[Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud]], defeated the princes of Manikpur and Kara, but Muslim rule was not established till the defeat of [[Jayachandra]] by [[Muhammad of Ghor|Muhammad Ghori]]. Manikpur and Kara were important seats of government in the early Muslim period. [[Alauddin Khalji]] was governor there, before he gained the throne of [[Delhi]] by murdering his uncle on the sands of the river between Manikpur and Kara.<br />
<br />
In the fifteenth century, the district came under the rule of the Sharqi kings of [[Jaunpur Sultanate|Jaunpur]] and, after its restoration to Delhi, the [[Rajput]] chiefs and the Muslim governors were frequently in revolt. The Afghans long retained their hold on the district, and early in the reign of [[Akbar]] (mid-16th century), the governor of Manikpur rebelled.<br />
<br />
It is still called ''Kara-Manikpur'', even though Kara now falls in [[Kaushambi district]], while Manikpur has become a part of [[Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh]].<br />
