History
Kasmandi Kalan is said to be named after one Raja Kans, who was defeated and killed by Sayed Salar Masood Ghazi.[3] Tombs said to belong to some of Salar Masud's companions are found around the village, with three of the most important being those of the Sayyids Salar/Commander Hashim, Qasim and Shahabuddin.[3] At the turn of the 20th century, Kasmandi Kalan hosted a small market once per week and had a post office and a "flourishing" school.[3] The school had previously had an affiliated girls' school, but by then the girls' school had closed down.[3] Its population as of the 1901 census was 2,008, including 780 Muslims.[3]
The 1961 census recorded Kasmandi Kalan as consisting of 2 hamlets, with a total population of 2,338 (1,202 male and 1,136 female), in 471 households and 414 physical houses.[4] The village lands were given as covering 1,401 acres.[4] The village market, held twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays and centred around trade in cloth and handloom, had an average attendance of 800 people at the time.[4]
The 1981 census recorded Kasmandi Kalan as having a population of 4,483 people, in 842 households, and covering an area of 883.46 hectares.[2]
