The Bhikampur and Datawali principality is in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. For nearly four centuries, before the advent of British Raj in India, it was ruled by the descendants of a Sherwani Pathan from Jalalabad in Afghanistan.[1] The Sherwani clan were practically independent rulers in the period between the collapse of Mughal Empire and the rise of the British Raj.
