Rahi is a village and corresponding community development block in Rae Bareli district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[2] It is located 7 km from Rae Bareli, the district headquarters,[3] which according to one folk etymology is named after the village.[4] Rahi was formerly the seat of a pargana before Rae Bareli replaced it in that capacity.[4] As of 2011, Rahi has a population of 7,536 people, in 1,373 households.[2] It has one primary school and one medical clinic.[2]
History
Historically, the village of Rahi was under the jurisdiction of the Hardaspur Talukdari, estate during the period when the Hardaspur Estate held administrative and territorial authority in the region. At that time, the estate was ruled by Raja Ganga Prasad Srivastava and Rani Jugraj Kunwari, who were the prominent rulers of the Hardaspur Raj. Under their governance, several surrounding villages, including Rahi, formed part of the estate’s territorial domain and were administered through the Talukdari system, which was a common feudal landholding structure during that era. The authority of the Hardaspur rulers extended over these villages, and local administration, land revenue collection, and regional governance were managed under their rule.
The 1961 census recorded Rahi as comprising 10 hamlets, with a total population of 2,950 people (1,664 male and 1,286 female), in 617 households and 576 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 1,708 acres and it had a post office at that point.[5] It had one grain mill and 3 makers of jewellery and/or precious metal items.[5]
The 1981 census recorded Rahi as having a population of 4,611 people, in 951 households, and having an area of 363.30 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were given as wheat and rice.[3]
