Tauro, Sohna,
Mewat Region, Gurgaon District, Haryana
In 1763, a tussle broke out between
Maharaja Jawahar Singh Rajput and Sardar Asadullah Baloch at Tauro, in which
the Maharaja's artillery, commanded by Suraj Mill Jat, inflicted the worst
defeat on the Baloch forces. And this was the decisive battle that forced the
Baloch to leave Haryana. Tauro is also called "Little Balochistan of
Haryana" because there are tombs of many Baloch chiefs. The great warriors
of Mewat put up strong resistance on three fronts in the War of Independence,
on the one hand they fought the forces of Bharatpur, on the other hand they
remained steadfast against the East India Company, on the third hand they
fought against Mr. Talaram Sahib in a guerrilla war.
