Dildarnagar Kamsar (also known as Ahl-e-Kamsar or Kamsar-O-Bar) is a pargana (region) and a mashra comprising 34 settlements located around the Karamnasa River in the Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh and the Kaimur district of Bihar, India. Of these, 18 mouzas are the primary settlements. It is a prominent settlement of Khanzadas, also known as Kamsari Pathans, as well as Afghan Pathans, primarily of the Niazi and Yusufzai clans. The original name of the region was Kamsar, but due to close and historical ties with the family of Bara Pathans, the region is often referred to as Kamsar-O-Bar. Historically, this region was predominantly under the control of Bhumihar zamindars. Over time, a section of them embraced Islam and later came to be known as the Kamsari Pathans.
