HARIANA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 952 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HARIANA , a
tract
  of country in the Punjab, India, once the seat of a flourishing Hindu civilization. It consists of a level upland plain, interspersed with patches of sandy soil, and largely overgrown with brushwood. The Western Jumna canal irrigates the fields of a large number of its villages. Since the 14th
century
  Hissar has been the local
capital
 . During the troubled period which followed on the decline of the Mogul
empire
 , Hariana formed the battlefield where the Mahrattas, Bhattis and Sikhs met to settle their territorial quarrels. The whole country was devastated by the
famine
  of 1783. In 17971798 Hariana was overrun by the famous Irish adventurer George
Thomas
 , who established his
capital
  at Hansi; in 18or he was dispossessed by Sindhia's French general Perron; in 1803 Hariana passed under British
rule
 . On the conquest of the Punjab Hariana was broken up into the districts of Hissar,
Rohtak
  and
Sirsa
 , which last' has in its turn been divided between Hissar and k'erozepore
