Basdila is famous for the Sunni Madrasa Darul Uloom Tadrisul Islam established in the British Era, pre-independence India.[1][2] 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.
