Sherghati was Established in?
Sherghati, a present-day administrative town in Bihar, has a history that spans several eras: The Rohilla leader Azam Khan ruled the area in the 18th century. The name “Sherghati” is believed to come from a tale where Sher Shah Suri killed a tiger (“sher”) nearby, though this remains a legend. British Rule (1865): During the British period, Sherghati gained attention after a meteorite fell there on August 25, 1865. The “Shergotty meteorite,” now in a London museum, confirmed the town’s recognition at that time. Administrative Role: That same year, Gaya became an independent district, and Sherghati was made its subdivision. Political Milestone: Sherghati was established as an Assembly constituency in 1957.
