== Etymology == |

During the ''[[Mahabharata]]'' period in ancient India, a king named Rewat had a daughter named Rewati. The father used to call her Rewa, and founded a village "Rewa Wadi" named after her. ''Wadi'' and ''wada'' mean a neighbourhood (small and big, respectively) in Hindi and many other Indian languages. When Rewa married [[Balram]], elder brother of [[Krishna]], the king donated the village "Rewa-Wadi" to his daughter. In the course of time, the name Rewa-Wadi became Rewari.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://rewari.gov.in/history/ | title=History | District Rewari, Government of Haryana | Veer Bhoomi | India | access-date=8 April 2023 | archive-date=8 April 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230408092207/https://rewari.gov.in/history/ | url-status=live }}</ref> |

[[Hem Chandra Vikramaditya]] was educated and brought up in what is now Rewari. Hem Chandra had developed a cannon foundry in Rewari, laying the foundation of a metalwork industry in brass, copper sheets. He had supplied cannons and gunpowder to [[Sher Shah Suri]] from 1535 onwards and was an adviser to the last ruler of Sur dynasty until 1553, Adil Shah Suri, when he became Prime Minister and Chief of Army. Hem Chandra had won 22 battles from [[Punjab]] to [[Delhi]] during 1553–56. He defeated Mughal king [[Akbar]]'s forces at Agra and Delhi. Hem Chandra was crowned as a Vikramaditya king at [[Purana Quila]] in Delhi on 7 October 1556, reigned as king of Delhi for one month but lost to [[Akbar]] on 5 November 1556 at Panipat where he died. His haveli (house) still stands in the Qutubpur area of the city, which in his day was a village in its own right. His two-story haveli, with carved sandstone doorway, is made of local stone from Aravalli range, brunt-mud lakhori bricks and lime mortar. Walls are plastered with lime and painted with limewash. Roof has lakhouri bricks and stone slabs rested on timer beams. Doors and niches have stone lintels or brick arches in the local regional architecture. Over-hanging roof chhajja has stone brackets to anchor the stones. Akbar made Rewari a sarkar under Delhi Suba. Aurangzeb attacked and recovered it from the rebels. Mughals granted the local rule to Nand Ram, a leader of Bolni village in 17th century which lasted up to 19th century.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Khattar |first1=Sohan Singh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M60zEAAAQBAJ&dq=ahirwal+rajput&pg=PA37 |title=Know Your State Haryana |last2=Kar |first2=Reena |date=26 July 2021 |publisher=Arihant Publications India limited |isbn=978-93-257-9038-4 |language=en}}</ref> A small principality was established there in the early century and ruled over the surrounding Ahirwal area.{{Citation needed|date=February 2024}} |

Rewari formed a part of the Gurgaon district of [[Haryana, India|Haryana]], in which it was placed by the administrators of the [[British Raj]] following the unsuccessful [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], in which a local leader, [[Rao Tula Ram]], played a significant role. It remained a part of Gurgaon district until reorganisation in 1972 saw it transferred to [[Mahendragarh]] district. Further changes, in 1989, led to the creation of the eponymous Rewari district.<ref>[http://gurgaon.nic.in/history.htm District History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

Rain falls from July to September. A little rain is experienced during winter also. Average annual rainfall in Rewari city is {{convert|553|mm|inch}}.<ref name="cgwb.gov.in"/> Rain-fed [[Sahibi River]] that originates in Rajasthan passes through Rewari and falls in [[Najafgarh lake]] in Delhi. Extremely heavy rains in 1978 flooded Sahibi (and Rewari) which in turn flooded Delhi. A barrage was then constructed at Masani village on junction of NH8 and NH71B to impound the water coming from Rajasthan. However, the barrage has hardly collected any water as the rains have not been heavy for the last 30 years and Rajasthan has built check-dams upstream on Sahibi.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} A canal has been constructed in 2009 to carry excess rain water to the barrage to recharge the ground drinking water for Rewari town. The canal takes off from the existing canal near the Kendriya Vidyalaya, Rewari.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} |

[[Rewari railway station|Rewari]] is a major junction on the [[Indian Railways|Indian railway]] network and is connected to the major cities of India by direct trains. Six railway lines branch out from it to Delhi, [[Ajmer]] via [[Narnaul]] and [[Ringas]], Ajmer via [[Alwar]], [[Loharu]] via [[Kanina khas|Kanina]], [[Hisar (city)|Hisar]] and [[Jhajjar]]-[[Rohtak]]. The latest sixth single-track line to [[Jhajjar]] and [[Rohtak]] was constructed in 2008–12 and commissioned in January 2013. A seventh double-track line starts from Khori near Rewari to Asaoti near [[Palwal]] for facilitating carriage of goods on [[Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India|Western Dedicated Freight Corridor]]. "New Rewari" railway station has been built on this dedicated freight railway line. A line branches off from New Rewari station, goes over Rewari-Narnaul and Rewari-Kanina-Mahendragarh tracks to join the Rewari-[[Bhiwani]] railway line 2 km after the Rewari junction, thus bypassing the Rewari junction. This obviates the need for goods trains on Western Dedicated Freight Corridor to pass through Rewari junction for going towards [[Hisar (city)|Hisar]].{{citation needed|date=July 2019}} |

Rewari is connected by five national highways: |
|||
* [[National Highway 48 (India)|NH 48]] (former name NH 8 before [[List of National Highways in India by highway number|renumbering]] of all national highways) (Delhi-Jaipur-[[Bombay]]-[[Pune]]-[[Bangalore]]). |
|||
* [[National Highway 11 (India)|NH 11]] (starting from [[National Highway 352 (India)|NH 352]] off Delhi-Jaipur NH 48 and going to [[Narnaul]]-[[Jhunjhunu]]-[[Bikaner]]-[[Jaisalmer]]). |
|||
* [[National Highway 352 (India)|NH 352]] (former name NH 71) (Rewari-[[Jhajjar]]-[[Rohtak]]-[[Jind]]-[[Narwana]]). |
|||
* [[National Highway 919 (India)|NH 919]] (former name NH 71B) (Rewari-[[Dharuhera]]-[[Sohna]]-[[Palwal]]). |
|||
* [[National Highway 352W (India)|NH 352W]] (former name [[State Highway 26 (Haryana)|SH-26)]] (Rewari-[[Pataudi]]-[[Gurgaon]]). |
|||
Before NH 48 was built in early 1960s, the Rewari-Gurgaon travel was via Dharuhera-[[Bhiwadi]]-[[Taoru]]-Sohna. NH 919 was a state highway before it was declared NH a decade ago; NH 352 was newly constructed in 2011–13; and NH 11 was declared to start from Rewari only three years ago and a 4-lane Rewari-Narnaul bypass on NH 11 from east of Rewari city (starting at NH 352 just off NH 48) to west of Rewari city (at Khori railway station) has been constructed in 2021-23 to bypass the city. |

The nearest college was in the nearby princely state of [[Alwar]] until independence. Ahir College was set up in 1945 by Rao Balbir Singh, a descendant of Rao Tula Ram. Kishanlal Public College is another educational institute. Shishu Shala was the first English school, established in 1950 in Model Town.{{citation needed|date=September 2011}} |

Rewari is a city and a municipal council in Rewari district in the Indian state of Haryana. It is district headquarter of Rewari district. It is located in south-west Haryana around 82 km from Delhi[7] and 51 km from Gurgaon. It lies in Ahirwal region.
Etymology
[edit]During the Mahabharata period in ancient India, a king named Rewat had a daughter named Rewati. The father used to call her Rewa, and founded a village "Rewa Wadi" named after her. Wadi and wada mean a neighbourhood (small and big, respectively) in Hindi and many other Indian languages. When Rewa married Balram, elder brother of Krishna, the king donated the village "Rewa-Wadi" to his daughter. In the course of time, the name Rewa-Wadi became Rewari.[8]
History
[edit]Medieval
[edit]Hem Chandra Vikramaditya was educated and brought up in what is now Rewari. Hem Chandra had developed a cannon foundry in Rewari, laying the foundation of a metalwork industry in brass, copper sheets. He had supplied cannons and gunpowder to Sher Shah Suri from 1535 onwards and was an adviser to the last ruler of Sur dynasty until 1553, Adil Shah Suri, when he became Prime Minister and Chief of Army. Hem Chandra had won 22 battles from Punjab to Delhi during 1553–56. He defeated Mughal king Akbar's forces at Agra and Delhi. Hem Chandra was crowned as a Vikramaditya king at Purana Quila in Delhi on 7 October 1556, reigned as king of Delhi for one month but lost to Akbar on 5 November 1556 at Panipat where he died. His haveli (house) still stands in the Qutubpur area of the city, which in his day was a village in its own right. His two-story haveli, with carved sandstone doorway, is made of local stone from Aravalli range, brunt-mud lakhori bricks and lime mortar. Walls are plastered with lime and painted with limewash. Roof has lakhouri bricks and stone slabs rested on timer beams. Doors and niches have stone lintels or brick arches in the local regional architecture. Over-hanging roof chhajja has stone brackets to anchor the stones. Akbar made Rewari a sarkar under Delhi Suba. Aurangzeb attacked and recovered it from the rebels. Mughals granted the local rule to Nand Ram, a leader of Bolni village in 17th century which lasted up to 19th century.[9] A small principality was established there in the early century and ruled over the surrounding Ahirwal area.[citation needed]
Ancient
[edit]Rewari founded by Balarama (the elder brother of Krishna), has the ruins of an ancient fort. The Rewari royal family played an important role in representing the interests of Rewari soldiers in the army.[10][11][12]
Modern era
[edit]Rewari came under the control of Maratha Empire but very shortly became an independent state under Rao Tularam Singh. He fought against the British in India's First War of Independence in 1857 and lost. East India Company confiscated his principality and took control of Rewari.[13] The British made Rewari a part of Gurgaon district of Punjab province.
It remained a part of Gurgaon district until reorganisation in 1972 saw it transferred to Mahendragarh district. Further changes in 1989 led to the creation of the eponymous Rewari district.[14]
Rezang La battle of 1962
[edit]Rewari is well known for the high proportion of soldiers and officers it contributes to the Indian army and other armed forces of India. Rezang La near Chushul in Ladakh was the site of the last stand of C Company of the 13 Kumaon battalion, during the Sino-Indian War on 18 November 1962.[15] The C Company was composed almost entirely of Rewaris (Natives from Rewari region) and was led by Major Shaitan Singh, who won a posthumous Param Vir Chakra for his actions.[16] In Indian Military History this war is unimaginable as 1 PVC, 1MVC, 8VrC AND 4 Sena Medals won by this company. Capt Ram Chander and Hav Nihal Singh, SM still living like legends.
In this action 120 men of the C Company fought until their bullets finished and then fought hand-to-hand. Of the 120 men, 114 died and only six seriously injured men remained alive. Of these, five were captured POW and only one came down to inform others.[17] A memorial was constructed in Rewari city for them.
The soul-stirring inscription on the War Memorial at Chushul, Ladakh raised by Indian Army in the memory of the fallen brave soldiers in the Battle of Rezang La reads:
How can a man die better,
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And temples of his gods.
This inscription also appears on the Rezang La Memorial at Rewari.

Attractions
[edit]Rewari Heritage Steam Locomotive Museum
[edit]Rewari Heritage Steam Locomotive Museum is the only surviving steam loco shed in India and houses some of India's last surviving steam locomotives. Built in 1893, it was the only loco shed in North India for a long time and a part of the track connecting Delhi with Peshawar.[33] After steam engines were phased out by 1990, the loco shed remained in neglect for many years before it was decided by Indian Railways in December 2002 to revive it as a heritage museum.[34] The shed was refurbished as a heritage tourism destination, its heritage edifice was restored and a museum exhibiting Victorian-era artefacts used on the Indian rail network, along with the old signalling system, gramophones and seats was added. The refurbished heritage museum was opened in October 2010. The engines are also available for live demonstrations.[33][35][36]
Transport
[edit]By Air
[edit]The nearest airport for all domestic and international flights is Indira Gandhi International Airport at Palam, New Delhi, 75 km away by road and 65 km away by train.
By Rail
[edit]Rewari was first connected by a railway line in 1873 when the first metre gauge railway track in India became operational. This track was laid between Delhi and Ajmer.[37] The gauge was converted to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge in 1995 for one of the tracks.[38] This allowed metre gauge trains from Rajasthan to continue up to Delhi Sarai Rohilla station on the remaining track. The second track from Rewari to Delhi Sarai Rohilla station was converted to broad gauge in 2007[39][40] as all the metre gauge tracks from Rewari to cities in Rajasthan had been converted to broad gauge by then. Thus all the railway tracks from Rewari have been converted to broad gauge obviating the need for change of trains at gauge-change stations such as Delhi and Ahmedabad.[41]
Rewari is a major junction on the Indian railway network and is connected to the major cities of India by direct trains. Six railway lines branch out from it to Delhi, Ajmer via Narnaul and Ringas, Ajmer via Alwar, Loharu via Kanina, Hisar and Jhajjar-Rohtak. The latest sixth single-track line to Jhajjar and Rohtak was constructed in 2008–12 and commissioned in January 2013. A seventh double-track line starts from Khori near Rewari to Asaoti near Palwal for facilitating carriage of goods on Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. "New Rewari" railway station has been built on this dedicated freight railway line. A line branches off from New Rewari station, goes over Rewari-Narnaul and Rewari-Kanina-Mahendragarh tracks to join the Rewari-Bhiwani railway line 2 km after the Rewari junction, thus bypassing the Rewari junction. This obviates the need for goods trains on Western Dedicated Freight Corridor to pass through Rewari junction for going towards Hisar.[citation needed]
Rewari-Delhi double railway track was electrified in 2018. Rewari has electrified tracks on the Jaipur-Alwar-Rewari-Bhiwani-Hisar and Rewari-Narnaul-Ringas-Phulera routes. These tracks have a high catenary with 7.45 m high OHE for double-stack containers. The electrical locomotives on these tracks will have a special pantograph for the high catenary. Electric trains (EMU) may run between Delhi and Rewari in future. Rewari-Alwar-Bandikui and Rewari-Bhiwani routes became double tracks in 2019.[citation needed]
A new railway line Rapid Regional Transit System (RRTS) is being constructed from Nizamuddin station in New Delhi to Alwar via Gurgaon-Manesar-Dharuhera-Rewari-Bawal-Shahjanpur. A loop of this RRTS will have a railway station east of Rewari at village Majra Gurdas.[42]
By Road
[edit]Rewari is connected by five national highways:
- NH 48 (former name NH 8 before renumbering of all national highways) (Delhi-Jaipur-Bombay-Pune-Bangalore).
- NH 11 (starting from NH 352 off Delhi-Jaipur NH 48 and going to Narnaul-Jhunjhunu-Bikaner-Jaisalmer).
- NH 352 (former name NH 71) (Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak-Jind-Narwana).
- NH 919 (former name NH 71B) (Rewari-Dharuhera-Sohna-Palwal).
- NH 352W (former name SH-26) (Rewari-Pataudi-Gurgaon).
Before NH 48 was built in early 1960s, the Rewari-Gurgaon travel was via Dharuhera-Bhiwadi-Taoru-Sohna. NH 919 was a state highway before it was declared NH a decade ago; NH 352 was newly constructed in 2011–13; and NH 11 was declared to start from Rewari only three years ago and a 4-lane Rewari-Narnaul bypass on NH 11 from east of Rewari city (starting at NH 352 just off NH 48) to west of Rewari city (at Khori railway station) has been constructed in 2021-23 to bypass the city.
State highways connect Rewari to all major towns in Haryana and adjacent districts of Rajasthan.
- SH-24 Rewari-Kanina-Mahendragarh-Loharu 92 km. (It may be converted to NH and become a part of Rewari-Kanina-Mahendragarh-Tosham-Hisar.)
- SH-15 Shahjahanpur-Rewari 21 km.
- SH-26) Gurgaon-Pataudi-Rewari 52 km.
The two-lane SH-26 was declared a national highway, NH352W, in 2018 and is being widened to four-lane to provide an alternative to NH 48. It will be ready in early 2024. The new alignment of NH 352W will join Dwarka Expressway (NH 248-BB) and provide fast connectivity of just one hour duration from Rewari to Palam airport and Delhi bypassing congested NH 48 in Gurgaon.[43]
A road bridge is being constructed on SH-15 at Rewari Anaj Mandi and the road will be widened to 4 lanes.
There are frequent bus services between Rewari and Delhi, as well as other towns of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan.
Education
[edit]Rewari has one university, ten-degree colleges, two BEd colleges, 110 secondary / higher secondary schools, one industrial training institute and one footwear training institute. Government Higher Secondary School was started in the year 1887. Hindu High School was started by the Bhargava community in 1890 in the building now known as Bhargava Boarding House located near Bhadawas Gate. The nearest college was in the nearby princely state of Alwar until independence. Ahir College was set up in 1945 by Rao Balbir Singh, a descendant of Rao Tularam. Kishanlal Public College is another educational institute. Shishu Shala was the first English school, established in 1950 in Model Town.[citation needed]
A Kendriya Vidyalaya (Central School) has existed in Rewari city since 1980. A Sainik School was started in 2008, temporarily housed in Rewari city awaiting completion of construction of its permanent campus at village Gothra Tappa Khori, about 15 km southwest Rewari-Narnaul Road.
The Meerpur centre of Rohtak University was upgraded to a university in 2013. It is a state university.[44]
Several private colleges have been set up around Rewari in the last decade to teach engineering, management, law, and nursing though the quality of education in some of them is low as in the rest of the country.[45]
