During first War of Independence in 1857

The town's role in First War of Independence is mentioned as ,"On November 27, 1857, another rebel force commanded by a Meo leader Sadar-ud-din attacked the Pargana of Pinangwan. A British force under Captain Ramsay from Palwal and Gurgaon was despatched at once to meet the danger. The force reached Pinangwan on November 29. But the rebels were then at a small village. They made for that village next day and reached there at 7 am. The Meos took the defence in the village. Exchange of shots continued till mid-day. Then the British troops bombarded the village with guns. Three Gorkha regiments took the defence, advanced upon the village from three directions, and they seized the village in a short time. The entire village was destroyed by fire. They cut down 28 Meos in the village including Sadar-du-din's son, and 42 more in the neighbouring villages. Making an assessment of the whole affair, Macpherson, the Joint Magistrate of Gurgaon, and the chief actor in the action at Mahun, observed: "Altogether I look upon it as a most successful affair, I should say about 70 rebels killed.The whole number of the rebels assembled was so small that their resistance was to me a subject of the greatest surprise".
