This article appears in Volume V20, Page 678 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANIPAT , a town of British India, in Karnal
district
  of the Punjab, 53 M. N. of Delhi by rail. Pop. (1901), 26,914. The town is of
great
  antiquity, dating back to the
great
  war of the Mahabharata between the Pandavas and Kaurava brethren, when it formed one of the tracts demanded by Yudisthira from Duryodhana as the price of peace. In modern times, the plains of Panipat thrice formed the scene of decisive battles which sealed the fate of upper Indiain 1526, when
Baber
  completely defeated the imperial forces; in 1556, when his grandson,
Akbar
 , on the same battlefield, conquered Himu, the Hindu general of the Afghan Adil Shah, thus a second time establishing the Mogul power; and finally, on the 7th of January 1761, when Ahmad Shah
Durani
  shattered the Mahratta confederacy. The neighbourhood is a favourite manoeuvring ground for British camps of instruction. The modern town stands near the old bank of the Jumna, on high ground composed of the debris of earlier buildings. It is a centre of
trade
 , and has manufactures of
cotton
  cloth, metal-
ware
  and glass. There are factories for ginning and pressing
cotton
 .
