The Muslims of Mewat have a bright history. In the rst battle of freedom fought in India against the British government in 1857, more than ten thousand warriors of this community had sacriced their lives with pleasure while ghting for the sake of India's freedom. At the time of India's partition in 1947 when the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi himself came to Mewat to stop the Muslims of Mewat area from proceeding on migration and addressed them, “Mew are the backbone of India and no power in the world can separate them from India.” After this encouragement, extended by Mahatma Gandhi, the stream of Muslims' migration from Mewat area to Pakistan was stopped.
Prior to this, while addressing a huge rally held in Champaran district of Bihar state on 14th September 1946, Mahatma Gandhi said, “If the rest of the Indian communities had the spirit like that of the Mewaties, I can get the country liberated within 24 hours.”
