St. Soldier Divine Public About Us

Lasara, about 19 km north of Jaijon, also has a stone temple stated to date back to the times of the Pandav’s.The scattered notices of Kalhanas “Raja Tarangini”, the hints gained from inscriptions and, above all, from the information left on record by the Chinese pilgrim Hieun Tsang, it is surmised that the area, now called Hoshiarpur, was dominated by a tribe of Chanderbansi Rajput who maintained an independent existence for centuries before the Muhammadans conquest with Jalandhar as its capital. According to the poet Lalman, Ibrahim of Ghorian dynasty, who ruled from AD 1059-1099, penetrated Jalandhar and plain probably came under the Muhammadan rule on the fall of Jalandhar in 1088 AD. The hills, however, remained under the Hindu chieftain. In 1192, whole of the Shivalik hills, along with the principalities of Ghuram, Hansi, Sarusti, Samana and other tracts were subjugated by sultan Muhammad Ghori, who further advanced to Delhi, but the city and its fort were saved by a relation of Khandey Rai, who submitted to the conqueror and paid a handsome tribute to him. The Sultan returned to Ghazni after entrusting the Government with Ghuram as its capital to his slave Qutb-Ud-Din Aibak.
