Adyana

It is a small place situated in district Panipat in Karnal Division of Haryana state. This place is associated with my father who came here as Senior mathematics Teacher at National High School for six months after graduating from D.M. College Moga. As he had come out of his place and the surrounding areas for the first time in search of job so it gave new experience.  The first experience that he got was that even clean shaven people wearing dhoti were also farmers tilling the land. Till then he had seen only Jat sikh people with unshorn hair tilling the land. Principal of this school was Mr. Amaranth who had to say the following about my father.

“Ch. Kehar Singh B.A. worked in this school as Senior Maths Teacher for a period of about six months. During this period he worked as a conscientious teacher and I always found a good opinion about his work, conduct and ability. He took a keen interest in school games and became popular among students and the staff. He is a Youngman with pleasing manners and active habits and bears an excellent moral character “  This citation shows that my father worked here from March 1949 to 6-9-1950. This small place is situated west to the historically famous town where three battles giving shape and direction to Indian History have been fought . The first battle was fought between Mughal Emperor Babar and Ibrahim Lodi in 1526 A.D. The second battle was between Akbar, represented by Bairam Khan, and Delhi’s Hindu ruler Hemu in 1556 A.D and the third battle was fought between Afghans and Mughals under the leadership of Ahmed Shah Abdali on the one hand and Marrathas under the leadership of Sada Shiv Rao Bhau in 1761 A.D.
