History
[edit]Dewaitha, formerly known as Daudpur is a historic village established by Dewan Sarkar Raja Daud Khan Zamindar a great-grandson of Narhar Khan the founder of Kamsar region.

His youngest son was, Chand Khan who received the southern part of Kamsar. He established Jaburna. He later distributed his property among his five sons name as Daud Khan, Hateem Khan, Tajat Khan, Qasim Khan, and Taj Khan .His sons, Hateem & Tajat Khan settled at Jaburna, Qasim Khan founded, nearby Karmahari and Baraura, although his descendants moved to Daltonganj abandoning the place. Taj Khan founded the hamlet, Kesruva. Taj Khan did without issue so his property was distributed among his brothers. Daud Khan got land of Dewaitha in 1605 AD.
Daud Khan's cousin, Raja Sarkar Dewan Quttul Khan Zamindar Jagirdar taluka Seorai, played a pivotal role in the region’s history by re-establishing the jagir of his great-grandfather, Raja Narhar Khan, known as Kamsar Jagir, a vast estate of 52 villages, and constructing a fort at Seorai during Akbar's reign. However, Quttul Khan was killed in a conflict with Man Singh Rai of Reotipur. Daud Khan avenged his cousin’s death, and succeeded him as Dewan of the Subah & Sarkar, consolidating his authority as the jagirdar of the pargana, attaining the title of Raja, he also expanded his ancestral lands, creating the Daudpur Zamindari estate, spread across Dewaitha to Zamania, with its administrative center fort (kot) at Dewaitha, in early 1600s, it was originally spread across 5 acres, but most of it is taken over by Kot Mahallah only a small part of it remains today. He also build a Mosque, a Edigah and planted orchard which was known as Hazara bagh, as it consisted thousands of trees. He also gave his name to nearby mauza ,Daudpur, his eldest son Mahmud Khan established Rasulpur, and his second son Kabir Khan, gave his name to Kabirpur(Rohura), although most of Kabir's desendants later migrated to Akhlashpur, because of family relations.
The estate flourished under successive generations, notably Raja Yad Ali Khan a sixth-generation descendant, who solidified its prominence.

During his time estate boundaries touched the borders of zamindari of Amil Chaudhary Azmal of Zamania,During the 1857 rebellion, lead by Kunwar singh, Raja Khuda Bhaksh Khan, Yad Ali’s grandson, also led the Kamsaries in the uprising, with his brothers one of whom, Akbar Khan attaining martyrdom. He was also a Taluqdar and established a bazar at Dildarnagar. Dewaitha was a junction of two places, Zamania and Dildarnagar, so,it got name Dewaitha, derived from "Dwi (द्वि): Means "two" or "dual."Aitha: related to something like "coming" or "arrival."Together, "Diwaitha" could meant "a place of two arrivals" or "a junction of two paths and so, the name was registered as Diwaitha.

The Daudpur estate,however,became small consisting 16 villages, but remained under family control with co-operation, until the abolition of zamindari in 1956.
