One of his descendants, Saeyad Raza Ali, was knighted by the British government and made the agent-general of South Africa. In 1874, Mir Hadi Ali, the grandfather of Sir Saeyad Raza Ali, introduced a railway station in Kundarki.
Kundarki also came under the bhatnagar king the kaystha dynasty.They reside in kundarki till now.
Kundarki became a panchayat in 1858 and a "town area" in 1907. In 1960, it was made a community development block, and over the next 30 years, a water system, power station and police station were built. In 1994, to reflect the town's development, the government of Uttar Pradesh declared it a nagar panchayat.
A prominent attraction in Kundarki is its miniature Taj Mahal, made by a social worker, Chidda Khansari.
