History

On behalf of the state of Bharatpur, the Matsyavajas Jat Dheeraj Mathur and Natha Mathur were appointed to conduct the office of ruler of five villages named Kiradi,Karala, Pansali, Punth Khurd, Hastasar in Delhi. The ruins of this office are still lying in Karala. Settled in Kakana village (near Gohana) from this village itself. In addition, Matsya-Matsar or Machhar Jats reside in the villages of Putta and Umarpur in Bijnor. Khetri village in the district Sikar of Rajasthan belongs to the Jats of Matsya or Machhar gotra.[5]

Nithari was made from Kirari, Kirari first officially appeared as (Khiraree) on the map found in the musty room of the National Archives of India which shows Delhi in 1807, shortly after the arrival of the British in 1803. It highlights the hierarchy of settlements, from small to larger villages.[6] We can further trace Nithari's natives genetics with the Indo-Aryan Migrations.[7]
