A pargana (Hindi: परगना, Urdu: پرگنہ, Bengali: পরগনা, parganā), or parganah, also spelt pergunnah during the time of the Sultanate period, Mughal times and British Raj,[1] is a former administrative unit of the Indian subcontinent, used primarily, but not exclusively, by the Muslim kingdoms.

Under the reign of Sher Shah Suri, administration of parganas was strengthened by the addition of other officers, including a shiqdar (police chief), an amin or munsif (an arbitrator who assessed and collected revenue) and a karkun (record keeper).

It is believed that Tappa was derived from folk music of Punjab and Sindh. It was the folk song of camel-drivers in that region and was developed as a form of classical music by Mian Gulam Nabi Shori or Shori Mian, who was a court singer for the Nawab of Awadh, Asaf-Ud-Dowlah. Therefore, it has Punjabi words in it. The typical word arrangement in Tappa portrays love and partition of any lovers. Tappa style of singing is attractive to the ears, with its remarkable feature of bounce and re-bounce of musical notes
