The family frequently intermarried with the members of the estate of Delduar which is situated in Tangail, Bangladesh. The Padamdi estate is situated beside the river Padma (Ganges) in Bangladesh, and produced notable writers, the most famous of which is Mir Mosharraf Hossain.[citation needed] His brother, Mir Mohammad Ali, was the erstwhile zamindar of Padamdi and the Zamindar Darpan (1872) drama series by Hossain was based on Ali. Hossain succeeded Ali after his death.[2]
Abolition
The estate was taken by the government in 1954, after the then Pakistan Government seized all landed estates vide a decree to equitably re-distribute the property to the landless poor. The estate was divided into two Thanas (smallest administrative units in Bangladesh) - Baliakandi and Pangsha under the district of Rajbari. The family still possesses most of the lands.[citation needed]
Lieutenant Colonel Syed Mir Ali Imam Al Mamun is the present head of the family.[citation needed]
