Bighoto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bighoto is a tract of country starting from Delhi territory, from Rewari on the borders of Mewat to the Bikaner frontier.[1] Bighoto is a term mainly used by the British. According to Sir Henry Miers Elliot, Bighoto includes Rewari, Bawal, Kanon, Pataudi, Kotkasim, and a great part of the Bahraich Jagir. The name of Bighoto, or Bighota as it is sometimes called, is derived from Bigha Raj Chauhan, a descendant of Prithviraj Chauhan.[2]
