Shot in the battle against the Kachwahas of Uniara in Jan 1800, he spent a cold winter night under the full moon on the battlefield, waiting for help or death, but neither arrived. He swore that if he survived, he would give up soldiering.

@BlueBlistering Gunther Tieman was doing a PhD thesis for his oxford degree.He submitted it as,Jats,An Ethnological Survey.He made Jakhoda village his HQ for his survey.My mom remembers him well.She was very young then.Village elders still remember him.

Günter Tiemann, editor of the anthropological journal Anthropos, spent the years 1964–1967 studying the Jats of Haryana. His fieldwork focused on Dalalpur, one of the eight Dalal Jat villages, with Mandothi as the head village forming the dominant nucleus of the Khap. According to the Jats, Dalalpur was founded by Chaudhri Karan Singh, who migrated from Mandothi in Samvat 1421 (1364 A.D.) and established the settlement. Tiemann's study provides remarkable insight into the traditional yajmāni relationship between the landowning Jats and the service communities. Jats were the Yajmans (patrons) of all the eight Dalal villages. • The entire village land belonged exclusively to the khere kī dūb i.e. the founding Jats who alone possessed the right to grant cultivable land and house sites to others. • Other inhabitants could not establish legitimacy through ancestral ownership of the village land. Instead, their place in the village derived from their long-standing yajmāni relationship with the founding Jat families. • This included Brahmins, whose relationship to the village was defined by generations of service to their Jat Yajmans rather than by ancestral land rights. • Tiemann notes that although the traditional yajmāni system had largely declined, its language survived. Jats continued to refer to "our Brahman," "the Chamar of Dalip Singh," or "the Nai of Pathuwara," reflecting hereditary patron-service relationships tied to specific Jat lineages. • Among the service castes, a Yajman was inherited from one generation to the next, just as ancestral land was inherited among the Jats. The study also emphasizes that Jat gots (clans) did not originate as fixed settlements. They expanded through successive migrations, founding new villages while preserving lineage ties. Dalalpur itself formed part of the larger Dalal Khap, with Mandothi serving as the ancestral nucleus from which the other Dalal villages were established.

@aniltalwar2 Because of Nehru

The British left over 75 years ago, but their dams, bridges, roads, railways, and canals still stand tall, a testament to enduring engineering. Ours, built in a supposedly ‘developed’ India, crumble like matchsticks within years. Think why!

There was a time when Bridge wasn’t merely a game, it was part of the rhythm of life in the officers’ mess. It brought together minds, fostered camaraderie, and filled countless evenings with quiet intensity and banter. It was such an integral part of mess life that the monthly +
