पिलानी नामकरण

नवल सिंह का नवलगढ़

डॉ. डी. के. टकनेत[21] ने लिखा है...ठाकुर शार्दुल सिंह (1681-1742) के पांचवे पुत्र नवल सिंह ने रोहिली गांव की नाड़ी में अपने नाम पर नया नगर नवलगढ़ बसाया. इसकी नींव विक्रम संवत 1794 (1738 ई.) की माघ शुक्ल द्वितीया के दिन रखी गई. जगीरों की समाप्ति से पहले नवलगढ़, शेखावाटी का प्रमुख ताजीमी ठिकाना[22] था. व्यवस्थित ढंग से बसा हुआ यह एकमात्र कस्बा था, इसीलिए शेखावाटी के तत्कालीन कस्बों में इसे सबसे आधुनिक माना जाता था. 1835 में लेफ्टिनेंट बोलियो ने शेखावाटी का दौरा किया. उस समय इस कस्बे की व्यवस्थित बसावट और मजबूत किले को देखकर उसने लिखा था- "नवलगढ़ सुव्यवस्थित ढंग से बसा हुआ नगर है. उसके चारों तरफ मजबूत शहरपनाह और बीच में किला बना हुआ है. शहर में 5000 घर हैं जिनमें महाजनों के 500 घर और 700 दुकान हैं." बिरला परिवार के पूर्वज इसी नवलगढ़ में रहते थे, जहां से इनकी एक शाखा पिलानी गई.[23]

नवल सिंह ने अपने चौथे पुत्र दलेल सिंह को वर्तमान पिलानी में गढ़ बनाकर 12 गांव का अधिकार दिया था. गढ़ का नाम दलेल सिंह के नाम पर दलेलगढ़ रखा गया.[24]गढ़ के मिट्टी के परकोटे में चार दरवाजे थे जो रात को बंद हो जाते थे. जब दलेल सिंह अपनी शक्ति बढ़ा रहे थे उसी समय सीकर के राजा लक्ष्मण सिंह ने दलेलगढ़ पर चढ़ाई कर दी. एनवक्त पर दलेल सिंह के भाई नवलगढ़ के राजा उनकी सहायता के लिए जा पहुंचे. इस अवसर पर एक पिलाणिया जाट ने अपनी बहादुरी दिखाई और दलेलगढ़ को बचा लिया. कहा जाता है कि पिलानिया जाट की बहादुरी के कारण ही इसका नाम दलेलगढ़ की जगह पिलाणी रखा गया जो बाद में पिलानी हो गया. उन दिनों पिलानी बालू के टीलों के बीच में दो छोटे-छोटे बासों के रूप में बसी हुई थी. एक था नैरा बास दूसरा पिलानिया बस. पहले बास में ब्राह्मण रहते थे और दूसरे में जाट तथा अन्य जातियां.[25]

Villages founded by Pilania clan

  • Palana (पलाना) is a village in Bikaner tehsil and district in Rajasthan.[26]
  • Pilani : The Pilani town was founded in the memory of a brave Pilania Jat. Thakur Nawal Singh founded the city of Nawalgarh in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan on magha shukla 2 samvat 1794 (1737 AD) at place called Rohili. Thukur Nawal Singh’s fourth son was Dalel Singh who was given the right of 12 villages after constructing a fort at present Pilani town. The fort was named Dalelgarh after Dalel Singh. When Dalel Singh was expanding his strength Rao Raja Laxman Singh of Sikar attacked him. At that time Dalel Singh’s brother and ruler of Nawalgarh came to his rescue. In the war a brave Pilania Jat fighting with bravery could save the fort of Dalelgarh. After this the name Dalelgarh was changed to Pilani in the memory of Pilania Jat. In those days Pilani was divided in two hamlets situated on sand dunes. One was ‘Nehra bas’ occupied by Brahmans and other was ‘Pilania bas’ occupied by Jats and other castes. Initially Pilani was a village of about 1500 people. Out of these 100 families were of Vaishyas, mainly of Agarwals. There were about 15 families of Maheshwaris out of which there was only one family of Birlas. [27]
