Ballia: Overview

 Bahadur garh (Jhajjar) was founded by Rathi Jats and was formerly known as Sharafabad. The Mughal Emperor Alamgir II gave it in Jagir in 1755 to two Baluchis of Farrukhanagar, Bahadur Khan and Tej Khan. They built a fort and called it Bahadurgarh. It came into the hands of Sindhia in 1793 but after his defeat in 1803 at the hands of the Biritish Lord Lake, bestowed the Jagir on a brother of the Nawab of Jhajjir. It was confiscated after the Mutiny, when the estate became part of the Rohtak district in 1860.
It is advantageously situated, being only twenty nine kilometres from Delhi and has developed into an important centre of industry.
