Talk:Rohtak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Current Affairs : The current Chief Minister of Haryana is from Rohtak. He has initiated what seems to be a massive drive to rebuild the roads. While being a step in the right direction, Bhupinder Singh Hooda has been criticised for the slow pace of the work.

Since the Aryan migration through current times Rohtak is dominated by the Jats race. Jats, like the citizens of ancient Roman alternated between farming and fighting for their lands in this part of the world for centuries. This fierce race had been the buffer by default shielding Hindus from foreign Islamic invasions from the west. Jats have cultivated and protected the lands in and between 'Punjab region' and 'doab' (two rivers Yamuna and Ganga - this region today includes New Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Pakistani Punjab, Pakistani Sindh). Research conducted during the British rule identified Jats as an integral and vital part of the history of India. In the Punjab region and present day Haryana Jats had long cultivated the lands and ardently protected the inhabitants ('Chattis Kaum' - thirty six communities) against the Islamic invasions from time to time. The city of Rohtak was no different.

Looks like a lot of the text comes copy-paste from http://rohtak.nic.in/ginf4.htm , but it can also be so, that the city website copied wikipedia. --Kummi (talk) 12:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
