Ghasera Fort is a ruined fort in Ghasera village in Nuh district of Haryana state in northern India, which has been notified as a protected monument by the state government. Currently, the majority of the residents of the village are Muslim Meos, though Hindus also live there. Battle of ghasera won by Jats against Rajputs.

History

The ruined Ghasera Fort lies at Ghasera village 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from Nuh city on Nun-Sohna highway. In the 18th century, Ghasera was ruled by Bargurjar Rajputs whose territory included the parganas of Ghasera, Indor, Kotla, and Sohna. To their north was the Princely State of Nawabs of Farrukhnagar which was founded in 1732. To their west was the jagir of the Raos of Rewari, ancestors of Rao Tula Ram. They possessed forts at Gokulgarh and Gurawra (or, Guraora). In the south were the Jat rulers of Bharatpur State, and Kachwaha Rajput rulers of Alwar State. The Mughals, who were protected by Marathas, had seen their territory shrink to a nominal area from Delhi to Palam.
