Administrative set-up of India

A Nagar panchayat is a form of an urban political unit in India comparable to a municipality.

An urban centre with more than 30,000 and less than 100,000 inhabitants is classified as a nagar panchayat.^[1]

However, there are some exceptions. All the previous town area committees (urban centres with a total population of more than 5,000 and less than 20,000) are reclassified as Nagar panchayat.

Nagar panchayats have a chairman with ward members. Membership consists of a minimum of ten elected ward members and three nominated members.

The Sadaat Amroha or Amrohi Syed are a community of Sayyids, historically settled in the town of Amroha, in Uttar Pradesh, India.^[1] Many members of Sadaat Amroha community have migrated to Pakistan after independence have settled in Karachi, Sindh.

History and origin[link]

The town of Amroha has been home to one of the oldest Naqvi Sadat settlements in India. Naqvis in Amroha arrived from Wasit, Iraq and have been resident in the town of Amroha since the 1190s A.D.^[2]

The Sadaat Amroha belong mainly to the Naqvi sub-group, mainly due to the fact, that they are all decedents of the famous Sufi saint Hazrat Syed Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat (a true 9th direct decedent of Imam Ali Al-Naqi), who was highly respected religious figure in Wasit, Iraq and later in India during the early ages of Islam in the Indian subcontinent and the khalifa of Hazrat Imam Suhrawardi R. The majority of Amrohvie Sadaat are Naqvi, predominately of Shia and Sunni sects. According to the 1901 Census of India, the main sub-division of the Sayyid was the Husseini and Naqvi.

Present circumstances[link]

The Sadaat Amroha are now divided between those that have remained in India, and a sizeable community that have emigrated to Pakistan. The Anjuman Sadaat Amroha is their community's main organization.^[3]

They are also now found among the South Asian diapora, with communities in North America. The Sadaat Amroha are an Urdu speaking community, and rarely use dialects such as Khari boli.
