Mewat history (1100-1947), Who is Meo, Mewati

Around 1194, Hemraj, Prithviraj Chauhan's brother, sought sanctuary in the Mewat hills during an onslaught by the Mamluk ruler of Delhi. This is when Mewat first appeared in historical accounts. Following that, during Balban's invasion on Mewat, the area gains notoriety. Mewat, a little kingdom with Kotila as its capital during the Delhi Sultanate, was governed by a single sultan.

Hasan Khan, a Mewati lord, sent his son to support Ibrahim Lodi in the first battle of Panipat when Babur conquered Hindustan in 1526. Hasan Khan Mewati sided with Rana Sanga against Babur in the Khanwa War in 1527. The battleground in Khanwa saw the martyrdom of Hasan Khan Mewati. The Gurgaon district was ruled by the British, Bharatpur by the Jats, and Alwar by the Narukas during the British era.

Prior to the 1857 insurrection, however, the British Empire seized and conquered the most of the Jagirs. During the 1857 insurrection, the Mewatis took an active role in the popular movement. After learning of the Sepoys' insurrection, all Mewatis, regardless of caste or religion, joined the rebellion.

In the absence of the royal family, the ordinary people and peasants of the Mewat area served as both the leader and the combatant. For the first time in Indian history, nearly all of Mewat's rural and urban residents hoisted a flag of rebellion against British oppression and made every effort to drive the foreign yoke from their country. The Mewati zeal for the uprising was evident in the fact that it persisted in Mewat for almost two months after the British recaptured Delhi.

To support the Hindu rulers, Meo were always fighters for rights for people. However Mewati (Meo) were never bootlicker to British and Mughals like Hindu kings. Even now, people continue demonstrating against the government's poor actions.

In the fight for survival, every soldier ultimately falls behind. Because they don't get the same benefits as the other bootlickers.

Mewati's biggest failure after independence was not selecting the appropriate leaders. All of the leaders that arrived did nothing for the Mewatis.

When questioned why you aren't doing anything, the leader said that if things are provided to them, who will ask us?
