Shamli

Shamli is a City and district headquarters in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and a major centre of the Jat culture and society in Western Uttar Pradesh, also commonly known as the Upper Doab region. Shamli was declared as a district in September 2011, almost 150 years after it was stripped of its administrative importance by the British following its role and prominence in India's first war of Independence in 1857.
