ABSTRACT
The Haryana derives its name in the modern history from the region located in the districts of Hisar, Fatehabad, Jind, Rohtak, Bhiwani, Sonepat and Jhajjar called Hurrianah or Hureeanah, an independent political and geographical entity with its capital at Hansi in the last decade of eighteenth century. The total sub-structure of the British administration in Haryana was the land revenue with slight support from ‘customs line’. The districts of Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Kaithal, and Jind formed a part of the cis-Sutlej territory. Cis-Sutlej territory – so named in a Calcutta point of view, as being on the cis or near side of the Sutlej, in reference to that city. The area which roughly coincided with the old districts of Gurgaon, Delhi, Rohtak, and Hisar and the Panipat tehsil and Karnal parganah became Delhi territory in 1805.
