The Baliyan history

First I must say, that the Baliyans desrve a special place in the honour rolls of Jat history.

Thy acted as the hosts, and as the Mantri's to the Sarv Khap, from the head village at Shoron/Shoram in Muzzarfarnagar Distt UP.

I was a difficult task, performed with dignity, tact, diplomacy.

All jats owe this great clan their thanks.


For the history, go through the archives on this site, and the Yahoo Jat history group


Search for Baliyan, Sarv Khap, Bal

You will find plenty to keep you busy


Take care.
