You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:02, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Karnal''' (((Audio|Karnal.ogg|pronunciation))) is a city located in the state of [[Haryana]], India and is the administrative headquarters of [[Karnal District]]. It was used by the [[East India Company]] army as a refuge during the [[1857 Mutiny|Indian Rebellion of 1857]] in [[Delhi]]. The [[Battle of Karnal]] between [[Nader Shah]] of Persia and the [[Mughal Empire]] took place in this city in 1739.<ref name="HistoryAboutKarnal">((cite web|url=https://karnal.gov.in/history/#:~:text=The%20city%20of%20Karnal%2C%20said,themselves%20at%20Karnal%20in%201785.|title=History about the city of Karnal|access-date=2022-02-07|website=Government of Karnal|language=en))</ref>

==Etymology==
The city associates itself with the character [[Karna]] from the Indian epic [[Mahabharata]].<ref name=Karna>[https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/sunday-special/people/king-karna-returns-to-his-land-karnal/496282.html King Karna returns to his land — Karnal.

The region was under [[Kannauj|Kanauji]] rule under the [[Pala Empire|Pala]] Emperors of Bengal from 770 to 810 AD. The authority of [[Mihira Bhoja]], the [[Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty|Pratihara]] ruler of Kanauj from 836 to 885 AD, penetrated as far as Pehowa, including Karnal.<ref name=history/>

One of the Tomara rulers, [[Anangpal Tomar|Amanpal Tomar]], found the city of Delhi and made it his capital, with the area of Karnal and modern-day Haryana being under his realm. The Tomaras came into conflict with the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Chauhan's of Shakambhari]], but continued to rule the Haryana country until the middle of 12th century when they were overthrown by the Chaha mana [[Vigraharaja IV|Vighnaraja IV]].<ref>((cite book |author=R.

The region then came under [[Ghurid]] rule after the [[Second Battle of Tarain|Second Battle of Tarani]] when [[Muhammad Ghori]] captured the area.

In A.D. 1739, [[Nader Shah|Nader Shah of Persia]] [[Nader Shah's invasion of the Mughal Empire|invaded the Mughal empire]] and Karnal was the scene of the famed [[Battle of Karnal]], in which Nader Shah decisively defeated the Mughal Emperor, [[Muhammad Shah]].<ref name="Shah">[[Michael Axworthy|Axworthy, Michael]] (2009)</ref> Muhammad Shah along with an enormous army occupied a strongly fortified camp at Karnal, but he yielded to the invader as his supplies were cut off from the open country by Shah and was starved into submission.<ref name="Shah" /> The tactical defeat drastically weakened the [[Mughal Empire]], while the [[Afsharid Empire|Persian Empire]] prospered and subsequently hastened the establishment of the [[British Empire]] in India. The region then came under [[Durrani Empire|Afghan]] rule. On 24 Feb1739, the Iranian ruler Nadir Shah attacked India. Rao Bal Kishan, with his army and with the forces of Delhi, fought Nadir Shah. His army included 5000 infantry and 2000 cavalry. In February 1739, Nader Shah captured Sirhind and moved towards the field of Karnal, a battle destined to be fateful to the Mughal rulers. Every year on 24 Feb, Rao Bal Kishan Shaurya Diwas celebrated in Rewari.<ref>((Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kYsMAQAAMAAJ&q=rao+bal+kishan |title=Haryana State Gazetteer |date=2001 |publisher=Haryana Gazetteers Organisation, Revenue Department |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite news |title= |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/local/haryana/rohtak/rewari/news/martyrs-day-of-veer-amar-shaheed-rao-balkishan-celebrated-in-nangal-pathani-128254998.html))</ref>

[[Sikh history|Sikhs]] appeared on the scene in the 18th century.
