History of Bhaderwah
"The Bhader Desh"
|
|
Bhaderwah also know as “Nagon ki bhoomi” means ‘ land of Snakes '. The history
is very little known to general masses. The Bhaderwah Town ( Nagar Bhaderwah )
was known as Hettary Nagar and prior to that, there were two other towns namely
Donga nagar and Udho Nagar. Both the Nagar was situated around villages Mondha
which is about 3 Kms. In the East of present Bhaderwah town.
History tells us that sometime back both the Nagars were flooded due to
torrential floods from Himalayan Ranges , and the presence of the big boulders
in abundance available in the present era reveal the story of disaster occurred
then. Later on, the people of Bhaderwah selected a place for their
rehabilitation in Seeri (from word ‘SEER' meaning a vast piece of land), now
known as Seeri Bazar, a vast field belonging to a Zamindar (Farmer) and
reconstructed their dwellings around it |

The revolutionaries followed him with great Zeal, and killed him in the cave
itself. After two months from this incident, the Govt. of Chamba once again
raided Bhaderwah. The forces under the command of Shagtu Kotwal fought with the
forces of Chamba Raja at Padri Dhar for at least three days wherein the general
Nathu Ram of Chamba was badly defeated.
A
few days after repulsing the Chamba Force, he managed to present himself before
Maharaja Gulab Singh at Jammu for accession of Bhaderwah with the J&K State .
The Maharaja Gulab Singh gladly accepted the proposal and the brave General
Shagtu Kotwal was awarded with a Jagir (Poperty) in Kailar named Droundi. It
occurred during the year of 1902 Bikrami i.e. in about 1854, when the revenue of
Rabi Crop was collected by the Chamba Rulers and that of Kharief Crop Revenue by
the Jammu and Kashmir Rulers.
