History
Mahmudabad Estate was one of the largest feudal estates in the erstwhile kingdom of Awadh. Mahmudabad is the part of Oudh State (अवध रियासत) during British India. Its raja, during the freedom struggle, had been an important member of the Muslim League and a close friend of Jinnah. In 1962, he migrated to Pakistan, leaving his young son and heir behind in Lucknow. The vast Mahmudabad properties in UP were then seized as "enemy property" under defence rules. When the old raja died in London in 1974, his son Raja Mohammad Amir Khan began a long legal battle to get back his inheritance. In a landmark judgement in Sep 2005, the Supreme Court of India directed the Government of India to release the Mahmudabad properties and restore them to the present raja. Raja Mohammad Amir Khan has two sisters who migrated to England with their spouses (also part of the Mahmudabad clan) and children. Raja Mohammad Amir Khan has two sons Ali Khan Mahmudabad, who is a Professor of History and Political Science at Ashoka University and Amir Khan Mahmudabad. The novel “The Vanishing Indian Upper Class:Life History of Reza Mohammed Khan” was written by Raja Mohammad Amir Khan’s cousin Rajkumar Mohammad Amir Kazim Khan.
