Fatehganj

Fatehganj ('Victory Market'), the name of two villages and battlefields in Bareilly district, in the North-west Provinces. (1) EAST FATEHGANJ, 23 miles SE. of Barcilly, was founded by the Nawáb of Oudh to commemorate the British victory over the Rohillas (1774), which gave him possession of a large part of Rohilkhand.—(2) WEST FATEHGANJ, about 35 miles NW. of the former, was the scene of another victory over the Rohillas in 1794. There is a monument over the grave of the Company's troops, and a carved and minareted tomb holds the remains of two Rohilla chieftains.
