Ghasera (Hindi: घसेरा) is a village in Mewat district, Haryana state, northern India. It is dominated by Meos.This village is also known as Ghandhi Gram Ghasera after it was visited by father of nation Mahatma Gandhi who asked the Meo Muslims to not migrate to Pakistan.[2]
Ghasera Fort
The ruined Ghasera Fort lies at Ghasera village 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from Nuh city on Nun-Sohna road[3] that was ruled by Bahadur Singh Bargujar, a Rajput chief of 11 villages, he was killed in 1753 by the famous Jat king Surajmal of Bharatpur State after Jats besieged and ran over the Ghasera fort, after which Jats turned to Delhi by defeating Mughal king Ahmad Shah Bahadur and occupied the Red Fort there in 1754 CE.[4][5]
Ruined walls and a grand entrance show that Ghasera was a historical village. This came into prominence in the 18th century when Bahadur Singh (a Rajput) had a fight with Jat Ruler of Bharatpur in 1753.[6] In the battle, Bahadur Singh lost and his wives committed suicide.
Destruction of Hindu temples
There are various ponds and shrines to Hindu Gods around the pound, However those temples were demolished by the hardliner Muslims and mosques were built in place of those temples.[2][7]
