The fort of Jind was built by Sidhu Jat ruler Maharaja Gajpat Singh in 1776 AD.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Jind was named Jayantapura after the lord of victory Jayant (Indra), whom Pandavas worshipped before the Mahabharata war. According to oral tradition, Pandavas built the Jayanti Devi Temple in honour of Jyanti Devi (the goddess of victory, a feminine representation of Indra). They offered prayers for success and then started a battle against Kaurava. The town was built around the temple and named Jayantapuri (Abode of Jyanti Devi) which was later renamed to Jind.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Jind is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under the sarkar of Hisar, producing a revenue of 5,401,749 dams for the imperial treasury and supplying a force of 4000 infantry and 500 cavalry. Under its entry, the author Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak mentioned the Hindu temple in the nearby village of Pandu Pindara.[2]
In 1775, Gajpat Singh Sidhu built the Jind Fort, which later came under queen Jind Kaur, queen of Naresh Swarup Singh Sidhu - the Jat ruler of Jind State.[3]
The Jat ruler Maharaja Gajpat Singh, the great-grandson of Chaudhary Phul Singh Sidhu and the founder of the Phulkian Misl, established an independent Sikh kingdom by seizing a large tract of the country with Sikh armed forces, which included the territory occupied by the present district of Jind from the Afghan governor Zain Khan in 1763. In 1775, Maharaja established Jind as the capital of the state in 1776. It was under the suzerainity of the Marathas for much of the 18th century. Sangrur was chosen later as the capital of Jind State by Raja Sangat Singh (reigned 1822 to 1834). After independence, Jind State was merged with the Indian union and the territory of the district became part of the Sangrur district of the Patiala and East Punjab States Union on 15 July 1948. On 1 November 1966, Sangrur district was divided in two and the Jind and Narwana tehsils were merged to form the Jind district. This was one of the seven districts of the newly formed Haryana state. The Jind tehsil was bifurcated further into two tehsils: Jind and Safidon in 1967.[1]
Geography[edit | edit source]
Jind is located at 29°19′N 76°19′E / 29.32°N 76.32°E.[4] It has an average elevation of 227 metres (744 feet).

As of 2011[update], the Indian census[5] reported that Jind city had a population of 166,225. Males and females constituted 53.3% and 46.7% of the population, respectively. The sex ratio was measured at 877 compared to the national average of 940. The sex ratio for the zero to six year age group was at 831, which was lower than the national average of 918. Jind had an average literacy rate of 74%, higher than the national average of 64.3%. Male literacy was at 80%, while female literacy was at 67%.
