History
It was initially ruled by Mughal Emperor Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty in the 13th century and later by – Babur, Humayun and Akbar (from 14th to 17th century). Slowly in addition to the Mughal Empire other rulers started gaining power in the area. By 1760, the area has three ruled divisions – The Sikhs, The Bhattis and the Mughals. The Bhattis were more prominent rulers as compared to the other two.
Maharaja Amar Singh of Patiala along with his minister Dewan Nanumal defeated the Sikhs in 1774 and took over the entire territory. But in 1781 he again lost the battle and the territory was again handed over to the Bhattis. Finally in the early 18th century the British confiscated the entire territory from the Mughals, Sikhs and the Bhattis and established their own rule.
The Delhi territory (of which Bhattu Kalan was a part) was divided into 3 districts in 1819. Thereafter a lot of integration and disintegration of cities and villages took place before and after independence. On 15 July,1997, Fatehabad was separated from Hisar and declared as a separate district having 254 villages of which Bhattu Kalan was one block.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
