'''[Rakasaha](/source/Rakasaha)''' is a village in [Kamsaar](/source/Dildarnagar_Kamsar) in the [India](/source/India)n [state](/source/States_and_territories_of_India) of [Uttar Pradesh](/source/Uttar_Pradesh). Almost 6500 [Kamsaar Pathans](/source/Pathans_of_Uttar_Pradesh) (NAWABS) lived in the village as of 2011.[{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=2011 census of India|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}]
== History ==
Rakasaha was established by[Mubarak Khan](/source/Zamindar) in the late 1500s. Zamindar Mubarak Khan was a Grandson of Narhar Khan, founder of [Dildarnagar Kamsar](/source/Dildarnagar_Kamsar).{{Citation needed|date=May 2026}}
The founders were Zamindars (landholders) who held administrative and social power during the late Mughal period. While specific medieval records of Raksaha itself are limited, the broader Ghazipur region was a significant territory during the Sultanate and Mughal eras. Ghazipur’s recorded history goes back to dense ancient forests, ashrams, and early settlements mentioned in regional lore and early travel accounts.{{Citation needed|date=May 2026}}
During British colonial rule, rural land administrations and Zamindari Systems influenced Raksaha’s Land Ownership and social structures. The village, like many in Ghazipur, continued as an agrarian society.{{Citation needed|date=May 2026}}
After Indian independence in 1947, the zamindari system was gradually abolished, and governance shifted to democratic Panchayati Raj institutions (village councils). The Gram Pradhan (village head) now administers local governance.{{Citation needed|date=May 2026}}
