It’s #haryanadiwas....But What does Haryana mean for you?...For me it’s much much more than just a state of modern Indian polity...It is birth place of Kartikeya..birth place of Democracy..land of awesome warriors who fought Islamic invaders in style..wanna know more about it?
The name Haryana appears first in the inscriptions of medieval times...
For eg this Palam Baoli inscription from 1276 AD makes reference to the land of Haryanaka.
Palam is referred to as Palamba and yes it’s the same place where Delhi international airport is located today.

On the side note: donor of the Baoli was resident of Delhi which he refers to as Sri Yoginipur. His description of his ancestral homeland of Punjab and its rivers is equally interesting. Notice the ancient Hindu names of the rivers of Punjab
