History
The great battle of the Hydaspes River was fought in this area in 326 BC. Alexander The Great and his squad arrived there to fight with the army of Raja Porus. His army defeated the army of Indian king Porus.Afterall, he established a city before exiting the area and crossing the river Hydaspes ( River Jhelum ). He named the city Bucephala, and according to history books, Becephala was the name of his most popular and loyal horse.
After the fall of the great Mughal Empire, the sikh ruled this whole area including Bhawalnagar and all these areas. This time was very tough for the muslims in this region, and they faced many restrictions during the Sikh rule. After the partition, thousands of Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India, and thousands of muslims were settled in the Mandi Bahauddin and related districts.
This area is a historical heritage but, unfortunately governments and people didn’t take care of this ancient city and historical places. In 2010, the city’s most valuable land was designated as commercial land, and commercial activities such as shopping malls, banquets, and commercial buildings began. Most of the precious heritage is lost now.
