Basdila

Basdila is one of the oldest villages of district Basti (currently falling under Sant Kabir Nagar district) in Uttar Pradesh in North India.
Basdila is famous for the Sunni Madrasa Darul Uloom Tadrisul Islam established in the British Era, pre-independence India. Darul Uloom is a government aided institute established around 1940, currently serving approximately 800 students. The foundation stone of this Madrasa was laid down by Late Master Inamullah Khan. 
A historically significant place which is just 23 km from Basdila Village is "Maghar" , where Sant Kabir spent a significant part of his life. Sant Kabir was buried as well as cremated here at this place. His Samadhi present here is a proof of this historical connection.
