Talhan Village Jalandhar

 25th October we had field visit to Talhan  Village in Jalandhar. We the B.A 1st Year, 2nd Year & M.A 1st Year students visited to that field visit. Three of our faculty members joined with us in the field visit. We started for Talhan Village at 11:00AM. Talhan is a village in Jalandhar district, near the Jalandhar Cantonment, in Punjab, India.[1] The village was founded by Jats of Talhan surname. However, they all left the village during Baba Banda Singh Bahadur's time and later joined forces of Baba Baghel Singh Dhaliwal during the Battle of Delhi 1783 and the original inhabitants settled in western Uttar Pradesh. Subsequently, the village was inhabited by people of the following surnames: Sahgal's; Randhawa Jats; and Bains Jats of Mahilpur. During the colonial period Talhan housed the zail headquarters, which covered 21 villages, headed by a Bains Zaildar family from 1871 until the Government of India abolished the Zaildari feudal system by in 1952 by abolishing the oppressive feudal legislation.[2][3] It is mentioned that the zaildar in 1923 was Sham Singh and last zaildar was Zaildar Jagat Singh.Talhan is famous for its Shaheedi Jor mela, which is held annually in the memory of Shaheed Baba Nihal Singh. The mela is a big attraction in Jalandhar. The 58th Jor Mela was held on 20–21 June 2009.Baba Nihal Singh belonged to the neighbouring village of Dakoha. Baba Nihal Singh made pulleys for drinking water wells. He served the people by installing the pulleys at the base of the well. Local people believe that as the Baba was divine, no matter which water well Baba installed a pulley, the water wells never dried up and the water remained sweet.On one occasion, the Baba met with a fatal accident, whilst installing a pulley and the Baba became a martyr whilst serving the people.The people of Talhan constructed a shrine (Samadh) in Talhan. The shrine was looked after by the Baba Nihal Singh's associate, Harnam Singh. After Harnam Singh's death, the followers cremated him next to the Baba's Samadhi.The two shrines have now become a grand Gurudwara. An annual Mela is held to mark the death anniversary ("Barsi") of the Baba. This Mela is a grand event in Jalandhar. There are sports events like Kabbadi, volleyball and tug-of-war. Gatka (Sikh martial arts) displays are held.Mela is held each year in the month of June. Neighbouring villages of Talhan include Parasrampur, Kotli Than Singh, Bhakriana, Semmi, Salempur Masanda, Dhanowali, Dakoha, Dhilwan and Puranpur.The village has many castes with surnames such as Bains, Sander, Bhogal, Sandhu, Chahal, Bal and Randhawa. The Bains families are divided into two "pattis" (family divisions): Burha Phaggu and Burha Deepa and claim ancestry from Baba Tula who was originally from either Baria village or Bahowal village near Mahilpur.The village Gurudwara is also famous as Visa Request Gurudwara as devotees bring aeroplane replica to request an approval of VISA applications.The village has shops, two banks, Jathera, a Secondary School, a Mosque, temples, a Post Office and four Gurdwara's
