Shamli is a city and the headquarters of Shamli district, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is an administrative subdivision under Saharanpur division of Uttar Pradesh.
History
According to the mythological story, in Dvapara Yuga Lord Krishna passed through the city before proceeding towards Kurukshetra from Hastinapur and in his way he took a quick pit stop under the trees of Barne located at Hanuman Tilla in Shamli and drank some water from the nearby well. Later on, signs of Baba Bajrang Bali (Lord Hanuman) blessed the place (which was known as “Shyamvali” previously) and had its name changed to “Shyama Nagri”, which eventually came to be known as Shamli. According to some stories, the town was founded by Kunti's son Bhima.
It is considered to be a very important place as the bank to Indian culture and freedom movement. According to available pieces of evidence, Maratha warriors developed it as a Cantonment area and later used it as a garrison as it was considered one of the safest places to hide from the Britishers during the Independence Movement. During British Raj, freedom fighters burned the “Purani Tehsil” and started the 1857 Kranti and sacrificed themselves. As a consequence of their action, the town was stripped of its administrative importance.[2] Shamli was declared as a district in September 2011 and was named Prabuddh Nagar by then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati. In July 2012, the district was renamed Shamli by Akhilesh Yadav, who became Chief Minister in 2012.[3]
