Mahend (also known as Nasrabad)(previously known as fluteeing ciaty) is a village of in Mohammdabad of Ghazipur in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The construction of the village began in 1526, coinciding with the establishment of the Mughal Empire. In its early days, the village faced significant challenges, including discrimination against Muslims, who constituted the majority of the population. However, a transformative figure emerged during this period: Jiro, a Muslim runaway from a wealthy family. He eloped with Khyati, a Hindu woman, and together they decided to settle in the village, working tirelessly to enhance its development.

While the village may not rival the grandeur of major cities, it has progressed significantly compared to its earlier state. Although Almoda has since passed away, his legacy endures through an annual event known as Urus, which commemorates his contributions to the village and serves as a testament to the community’s resilience and unity. The village also has a notable historical event, the Battle of the Kaifs, which was a four-year conflict between 2 brother[1]
