History
Guru Hargobind visited the Jagraon region of Malwa in western Ludhiana and a Gurdwara called 'Guru Sar' was constructed in the village of Kaunke, located 7 km southwest of the city of Jagraon itself, to commemorate his visit to the locality between the years 1631–1632. Jagraon was established by Rai Kamaluddin of Raikot in 1688. In 1790, Rai Ahmad of Jagraon was arrested by the Maratha general Ranee Khan after the Diwan of Patiala State, Nanu Mal, failed to pay a promised payment for protection. However, Rai Ahmad managed to escape at Panipat via scheming.
Jagraon is the home of Lala Lajpat Rai, a well-known figure in the Indian Independence movement, who greatly influenced Bhagat Singh. His house is now a municipal library. The chiefs of Jagraon, according to Major Charles Francis Massy's Chiefs and Families of Note in the Punjab, were Chandravanshi Rajputs, the last being Rai Inayat Khan, the custodian of Guru Sahib's Ganga Sagar at the time of the Partition of India in 1947. Rai Aziz Ullah Khan ex-MP (MNA) in Pakistan is the grandson of Rai Inayat Khan. Soldier Havildar Ishar Singh, who fought the Battle of Saragarhi in 1897, was also a native of Jagraon.
