History

According to Hindu literature, Tilpat was one of the five villages demanded by the Pandavas for the sake of peace and to avert a disastrous war, Krishna proposed that if Hastinapura agreed to give the Pandavas only five villages named Indraprastha (Delhi), Svarnaprastha (Sonipat), Paniprastha (Panipat), Vyaghraprastha (Baghpat) and Tilaprastha (Tilpat), they would be satisfied and would make no more demands. Duryodhana vehemently refused, commenting that he would not part even with land as much as the point of a needle. This led to the Kurukshetra War, described in the Mahabharata.[6][7]

Tilpat is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under Delhi sarkar, producing a revenue of 3,077,913 dams for the imperial treasury and supplying a force of 400 infantry and 40 cavalry. It had a brick fort at the time which was also mentioned and was held by Brahmins, Rajputs and Gurjars.[8]

At the time of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the year 1600, Tilpat was called Tilpat Garhi.[9][10]

Issues

In May 2018, Delhi High Court asked the government to ensure to protect the Tilpat 1 & 2 ranges of IAF on the banks of Yamuna river from the illegal sand mining.[2]
