ORIGIN

The Farrukhabad colony was established towards the end of 12th century by two Nikumbh adventurers from Awadh called Man and Sahraj, who were invited by raja of Kannauj to expel the aboriginal Bhars. Their descendants rendered valuable assistance to Somvanshi raja Sandi who conferred on then the title nikumbh which means nek-kam or good service.
The Srinet clan is considered to be of the same stock as the Nikumbhs. The Nikumbh are said to have been given the title of Srinet by an emperor of Delhi, because they would not bow their heads on entering his presence, and when hefixed a sword at the door some of them allowed their necksto be cut through by the sword rather than bend the head. The term Srinet is supposed to mean headless.
The name of Nikumbha has been supplanted in Northern India by that of Raghuvansa, or ** descendant of Raghu," one of the ancestors of Dasaratha and Rama
