History of Haryana
Sandwiched between Uttar Pradesh on the east, Himachal Pradesh on the
north, Punjab on the west and Rajasthan on the south, Haryana is
perhaps India’s most ignored and forgotten state for the tourist.A mere
30 km from the centre of the Indian capital New Delhi, Haryana came into
its present form in 1966 as a breakaway from the imposing Punjab.
But what cannot be forgotten are the glorious battles for the Indian sub-continent fought on this very soil centuries ago in Panipat, the glistening ancient Indian heritage and the genesis of the very foundations of religious Indian scriptures. This is the land that bore the brunt of the invading Afghan forces for over three centuries, where armies pitched camps and engaged in gruesome battles for the riches and vastness of Hindustan.
“There is a region called Haryana which is like a heaven on earth”
- Vikrami Samwat, 1385This is the land where the famous Indian epic, the Bhagwad Gita, was spoken; where the Rig Veda, the oldest and foremost Aryan manuscript, was composed; where the Mahabharata, the greatest of all wars, was fought; where Babur routed Ibrahim Lodi to establish the mighty Mughal dynasty; where Muslims were dethroned and Marathas lost the glory of their honour.Haryana, the land with perhaps the most exciting and gory history in the world, is a forgotten state — nobody goes there except the people who live there!
Haryana is the region where, along the banks of the River Saraswati, the Vedic Civilization began and matured. It was here that the Vedas were written, as the Aryans chanted their sacred Mantras. Replete with myths and legends, Haryana’s 5000 year old history is steeped in glory. It was here that Lord Krishna preached Bhagvad-Gita at the start of the battle of Mahabharat. It was on this soil that saint Ved Vyas wrote Mahabharat in Sanskrit. Before the Mahabharat war, a battle of ten kings took place in the Kurukshetra region in the Saraswati valley. But it was the Mahabharat War, approximately in 900 BC, which gave to the region worldwide fame. Mahabharat knows Haryana as Bahudhhanyaka, land of plentiful grains and Bahudhana, the land of immense riches. The word Hariana, occurs in a 1328 AD Sanskrit inscription kept in the Delhi Museum, which refers to the Haryana region as The heaven on earth.Excavations of various archeological sites in Haryana, like Naurangabad and Mittathal in Bhiwani, Kunal in Fatehbad, Agroha near Hissar, Rakhi Garhi (Rakhigarhi) in Jind, Sites in Rukhi (Rohtak) and Banawali in Sirsa have evidence of pre-Harappan and Harappan culture. Findings of pottery, sculpture and jewellery in sites at Pehowa, Kurukshetra, Tilpat and Panipat have proved the historicity of the Mahabharat war. These places are mentioned in the Mahabharat as Prithudaka (Pehowa), Tilprastha (Tilput), Panprastha (Panipat) and Sonprastha (Sonipat).
Vedic civilization is the earliest civilization in Indian history of which we have written records that we understand. It is named after the Vedas, the early literature of the Hindu people. The Vedic Civilization flourished along the river Saraswati, in a region that now consists of the modern Indian states of Haryana and Punjab. The Vedic texts have astronomical dates, that some have claimed, go back to the 5th millennium BC. The use of Vedic Sanskrit continued up to the 6th century BC. Vedic is synonymous with Aryans and Hinduism, which is another name for religious and spiritual thought that has evolved from the Vedas.
The early Aryans: Unfortunately, the origin of the Saraswati Valley civilization (Vedic culture) and its relation to the Indus Valley civilization remain hazy. The timeline of Vedic civilization is 4500 BC-1800 BC while that of Indus valley civilization is 3300 BC-1800 BC. The texts describe a geography that some believe to be north India. The greatest river of the Rigveda was Saraswati, now dry and identified with Ghaggar, a seasonal river. It is believed that this river ceased to reach the Arabian Sea by about 1900 BC. Now, a dry river bed, that seems to fit the description of the Saraswati River, has been detected by satellite imagery. It begins in the modern Indian state of Uttaranchal and passing through Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan, reaches the Arabian Sea in Gujarat. Our knowledge of the early Aryans comes from the Rigveda, the earliest of the Vedas.
