The Millennium City is variously known as a party capital, tech and auto hub, ‘Singapore of Haryana’ and home to luxury realty and among the biggest malls in the country. However, its history and heritage lies forgotten. As the country commemorates the first battle of Independence, Gurugram awaits its story of valour to be told. Gurugram was a British cantonment during the time and the post of collector and district magistrate was held by W Ford of the Bengal Civil Service. After the uprising in Meerut, there was an outcry in Gurgaon, too.
