Rewari may be considered centre of Ahirwal and dominated by Rao sahab(Yadav).HistoryAccording to local residents, Rewari has a long history since Mahabharat period. As per them, Balram, the elder brother of lord Krishna was married to Revati, the princes of Kushasthali. Later on the area was named after the princes Revati and gradually the name changed to Rewari. However, there is no evidence of the above argument. As per the records and registers, Rewari was founded by Nand Ram, an Ahir. A small Ahir principality was established there in the early century and ruled over the surrounding Ahirwal area.ModernRewari is a district of Haryana, in which it was placed by the administrators of the British Raj following the unsuccessful Indian Rebellion of 1857, in which a local leader, Rao Tula Ram, played a significant role.
