    intermediate period of tribalism, it was controlled by Yadavs during the course of their migration
    eastward. With the rest of upper India it passed under the sway of Mahmud of Ghazni in 1017,
    and thenceforth followed the fortunes of the Muslim empire. At the end of the 18th century it

    agricultural products are rice, wheat, barley, jowar, bajra, maize; the soil is suitable for the
