Writing Script hansi fort and Images

Hi admin I am native from haryana, gurmukhi script is indeed official script but it is hardly used anywhere except gurudwaras. Add the devnagari script and Latin script as they are widely used everywhere on boards newspapers etc, it will help the travellers to know before coming. Also change the name aasi garh fort is not used people just call it and know by the name of hansi fort, it will depict its location by its name. If you want you can Add panipat battle too as it was part of haryana history. Thank you very much Vipsocemlo (talk) 15:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

History of the naming of state Haryana/Hariyana

According to the historical records found in Delhi and Haryana, the name of the state of Haryana is derived from the word Hariyanak, the details of which are given below. 1. Palam stepwell inscription Near Palam village on the old route from Kusumbpur to Mehrauli in Delhi, on Wednesday, Shravan Krishna Trayodashi Samvat 1337 Vikrami (1280 AD), a Sanskrit inscription was found on an ancient stepwell built by one Udhar Thakkur which reads as follows –

अभोजी तोमारैरादौ चौहानास्तदंतरम्, हरियानक भूरेषा शकेन्द्रैः शास्यते अधुना ।। Aabhoji Tomararadau Chauhanastadantaram, Haryanka Bhuresh Shakendraiah Shasyate Adhuna.

That is, first the Tomras enjoyed this Harianak land and then the Chauhans. Nowadays Shakdeshi i.e. Iranian-Afghan kings are enjoying it. At the end of this inscription it is written in the then Apabhramsha Hindi language –

किआसन्दीण शुरिताण रजि हरिआण इ देश है, पंचकोश ढिल्ली अहु पंथि पालम पवेश ह ।। Kiyasandeen Shuritan Raji Haryana is this country, Panchkosh Delhi ahu panthi palam pavesh hai.

That is, the Sultan (Giyasuddin Balban) is ruling this Hariyana country by sitting on the throne of Delhi. From here i.e. from Palam Stepwell, Qutub Minar of Delhi i.e. modern Mehrauli is five kos away and on the way there is the entrance of Palam village. Thus we see that Hariyana was famous as a country during the time of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban of the slave dynasty in 1280 AD.

2. Sonipat stone slab inscription

Similarly, in a fragmentary inscription written on a stone slab found in Sonipat, it is said that Delhi (Delhi) is in Haryanak country which was first ruled by Tomaras, then Chauhans and nowadays it was conquered by Shakas i.e. Muslims. The date of this inscription is given as Monday, Phalgun Shukla Panchami, Samvat 1347 Vikrami (1290 AD).

3. Sharban Well Records

 It is also written in the inscription on the well built by Khaital-Paital on Tuesday, Phalgun Shukla Panchami Samvat 1384 Vikrami in Sharban, a village situated at the place of present Connaught Place in Delhi –

देशोऽस्ति हरियानाख्यः पृथ्व्यां स्वर्गसन्निभः । ढिल्लीकाख्या पुरी तत्र तोमरैर्स्ति निर्मिता (2) वेदवस्वाग्निचंद्रांक संख्ये द्वे विक्रमार्क्कतः । पंचम्यां फाल्गुनसिते लिखितं भौमवासरे (15) इन्द्रप्रस्थ प्रतिगणे ग्रामे सारवले (शर-वने) अत्र तु चिरं तिष्ठतु कूपोऽयं कारकश्च सबांधवः संवत् 1384 फाल्गुन शु.दि.5 भौम दिने (16) Deshoasti Hariyanakhya Swargsannibhah, Dhillikaakhya Puri Tatra Tomaraisti Nirmita (2) Vedavasvagnichandrank number dve vikramarktah. Panchamyan Phalgunsite Likitnam Bhaumvasare (15) Indraprastha Pratigane Grame Saravale (Shar-Vane) Atra Tu chiram tishatu koopoayam karkshch Sabandhavah. Samvat 1384 Phalgun Shuddhi 5 Bhaum Din (16)

That is, on this earth, there is a famous country like heaven, Hariyanak, in which a city called Dhilli, built by the Tomaras, is situated. At the end of the inscription it is written – Veda = 4, Vasu = 8, Agni = 3, Chandra = 1, 4831, according to the classical rule of Ankanam Vamto Gati (The movement of numbers is from left direction) the inverse of this number is 1384 Vikrami Samvat, Phalgun Sit i.e. Shukla Paksha, Panchami Tithi Bhaumwar. Or on Tuesday, in a village named Sarwal or Sharvan or Sharban located in Indraprastha Pratigan i.e. Pargana or Mandal or District or Tehsil, may this well remain for a long time and in the same way, the relatives of its creator should also live for a long time. Finally, the construction period of the well is again written as Samvat 1384 Phalgun Shuddhi 5 i.e. Phalgun Shukla date or Tithi Panchami day, Thursday.

4. Narayana well inscription In the inscription on the well built by some Shridhar in Bhadrapada Krishna Tritiya Samvat 1384 Vikrami (1327 AD) in Nadayan village (modern Narayana) of Delhi, it is written – हरियानक संज्ञोऽस्ति देशः पुण्यतमो महान्, कृष्णः सपार्थो व्यचरद्यत्र पापौघशान्तये ।। Hariyanak Sangyosti Desh: Punyatmo Mahan Krishna: Sapartho vyacharadyatra papaughshantaye. That is, there is a virtuous and great country called Hariyanak where Lord Shri Krishna traveled in a chariot with Arjuna for the atonement of his sins. What is meant to say is that the land on which Hari traveled in his vehicle to destroy sins, such Hariyanak land is virtuous and great. At the time of Mahabharata, Shri Krishna and Arjun traveled by chariot in Kurukshetra-North Haryana, Kurudesh-Hastinapur, Kurudjangal (Delhi and South Haryana) i.e. Indraprastha, Mathura (Braj region) and Viratnagar (Bairat, Rajasthan) to eliminate the sins of the earth. The same region was named Haryanak.

According to the above records published by the National Council of Historical Research, Government of India, New Delhi, the name of Haryana or Haryana is derived from the word Hariyanak. The word Aabhirayaan does not appear in any historical document, records, inscription or literary text of India. Therefore, it is requested that please make amendments regarding the naming of Haryana on the basis of historical facts. 106.219.121.166 (talk) 15:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
