According to Punjab Chiefs [2], Sardar Chuhar Singh of village Chang in Kasur received Jharauli Ilaqa as his share after winning the battle of Sirhind in 1764. Under the British protection in 1809, Jharauli was one of ten villages collectively given the status of Jagir under Chuhar Singh’s descendants. The population of the village was 541 in 1868 which continuously decreased to 514 in 1877 and then 487 in 1881 due to presence of Western Yamuna Canal and defective drainage. [3]Although, the village is now dominated by Sikhs, there were less than ten Sikh families during 1890s. Jharauli, Rania and Khari states were center of Shaheedi Misl in Sikh period. [4] The Muslim population of the village migrated to Pakistan in 1947.
