History

Nangli Sakrawati was settled some 800 years ago by people who came from Narinara village in Haryana.[2] Sugarcane was sown in abundance in the village, which was then converted locally into 'shakkar' (sugar), hence giving it the name 'sakrawati'.[3] A local saint 'Dada Rana Ji' once came and preached people here.[2] A temple was erected in his memory now known as Dada Rana ji ka Mandir (Temple of Dada Rana ji). By 1970's, the Delhi Government had seized bulk of land belonging to the village in order to create embankments along the Najafgarh Drain, as well as for setting up the Nangli Dairy.[2] A number of residential colonies were established in the decades following. An Industrial area too exists north of the village.
