Satha Chaurasi

Satha Chaurasi (also known as Laghu Mewar) refers to an area in the west of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where the majority population belongs to the members of the Rajputs (Thakur) community. It falls within the boundaries of the Ghaziabad, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar Lok Sabha constituencies.

Satha translates as group of sixty(60) Sisodia Rajput villages and chaurasi as group of eighty-four(84) Tomar or Tanwar Rajput villages. The villages of Satha-Chaurasi region are known as the ‘warrior villages’ maybe due to their historical importance. These numbers may have had a significant socio-political context in the medieval period as a definition of scope for territorial and lineal boundaries.
