Jind

Jind

▪ India
also spelled  Jhind 

      city, central Haryana (Haryāna) state, northwestern India, located on road and rail routes to Delhi, 70 miles (110 km) southeast. Another rail line connects it eastward to Panipat. Jind is said to have been founded by the Pandavas (Pāṇḍavas) of the Mahabharata epic, who built a temple around which the town of Jaintapuri (Jind) grew. A local grain-trade centre, it also possesses cotton-ginning factories. Several colleges are affiliated with Kurukshetra University.

      The surrounding region—with the exception of low, outlying hills of the Aravalli Range in the south—is composed of level plains broken only by shifting sand hills. Irrigated by the Sirhind Canal system, the region's chief crops include grains, gram (chickpeas), and cotton. Jind was formerly one of the princely Phulkian states of the Punjab; it was founded in the 18th century by Sutlej Sikh chieftains. Pop. (2001) city, 135,855.
