The zamindari

was divided between Surendra Nath Sikder and Nirdavaran Sikder, the two sons of Satish Chandra Sikder, the only son of Bhavatarini. As the eldest son of Satish Chandra Sikder, Surendra Nath acquired the lion’s share of the zamindari. Later, after the death of Surendra Nath, his sons were transferred to Calcutta.
