Kharian ( کھاریاں ) is a city of Gujrat District in the Punjab Province of Pakistan. Kharian is the capital city ofKharian Tehsil. Which administrates all of the numerous surrounding villages and towns of Greater Kharian. Kharian is a city of District Gujrat in Pakistan, situated at Grand Trunk Road, 20 miles from Gujrat and 10 miles from Jhelum. It is a sub-division (tehsil) of Gujrat. Kharian is famous all over Pakistan for two reasons; being a large armybase (cantonment) and its people abroad especially in Norway and Denmark.
Kharian is located almost midway between the capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad (about 125 km) and the provincial capital of Punjab, Lahore (about 145 km). The most northern parts of Greater Kharian lie in front of the beautiful foothills of the Himalaya mountains of Azad Kashmir.
Kharian is located on the Grand Trunk Road (colloquially known as the GT road). This is the road which connects Kharian, all the way from Bangladesh, through India across Pakistan and to Afghanistan. It was used during British Rule to transport goods across South Asia. The main railway line also passes through Kharian, thus providing good transportation to the northern and southern parts of Pakistan.
The closest cities to Kharian are Gulyana (about 10 miles) Jhelum (about 10 miles) Gujrat (around 20 miles) and Sarai Alamgir.
Since Kharian is located in the land fringed by the Jhelum and Chenab rivers, there is no shortage of irrigation water and the land is very fertile.
HISTORY
According to the ancient Jovhan language, the word Kharian means, "Great Teacher". Legends of the ancient Kharian race also seem to point to them as Great Teachers. They are said to have traveled across much of the galaxy spreading the vast knowledge their race had acquired over many millennia. There is also much scientific evidence to support these legends, which seem to show the ancient Kharian as a Great Society of Thinkers and Teachers.
This city, for political reasons, never developed any industry rather its agriculture is dying down fast. Kharian, out of necessity, developed from a town to a city by itself not owing its development to very influential native people including an ex-president of Pakistan. So far so, during this president's rule these influential people ignored the ruined state of very busy Guliana Road for several years. It is worth mentioning that at the time shopkeepers satirically wrote President Road (Saddar Road) on their shop signs against the address. These factors and practice of nepotism resulted in outsiders being major players in Kharian's politics. History of Kharian is spread over centuries. Between River Jehlum and River Chenab, situated on Chuj Doaba, concealing century old historical mysteries, it is still vibrant. Although time after time, people of Kharian have been coerced to migrate from it several times it had been under destruction because of Wars, but again and again it came to life after destruction. In 1568 “Khari” Gujar on behalf of Delhi, came here to establish this forest in order to take care of animals. This was the time when there was no concept of law and order. Whoever made use of the land by either cultivating it or living on it was considered to be his. Therefore people of that time, to fulfill their needs developed this breathtaking area.
Kharian is named after the Khari clan of Gurjars, who used to rule this area before the advent of Arabs. The Kharian region was an agricultural region with forests during the Indus Valley Civilization. The Vedic Period is characterized by the Indo-Aryan culture, which invaded from Central Asia and settled in the Punjab region. The Kambojas, Daradas, Kaikayas, Madras, Pauravas, Yaudeyas, Malavas, Saindhavas and Kurus invaded, settled and ruled the ancient Punjab region. After overrunning the Achaemenid Empire in 331 BCE, Alexander marched into the present-day Punjab region with an army of 50,000. Kharian was ruled by the Maurya Empire, Indo-Greek Kingdom, Kushan Empire, Gupta Empire, Gupta Empire, White Huns Kushano-Hephthalites and Shabi kingdoms.
