Scope and content
One manuscript table showing the castes of Zamindars and extent of holdings in the Parganas (administrative units) of Budaun (Bada'on), Azampur and Azamabad, with seals of local Tahsildars (tax inspectors) and Qanungos (local, hereditary registrars of landed property). Written in Arabic script, probably Persian or Urdu. Simon Digby notes that it was probably compiled for Henry Miers Elliot.
