Alexander faced defeat here
Remnants of 2,300-yr-old fort to see light

Bundala (Amritsar), September 1
The excavation work to retrieve the remnants of the 2,300-year-old
fort of Kath tribes, which once lived in this village and defeated
Alexander, would be started soon. The residents of this village had
not allowed Alexander to cross the Beas.
The village - full of ancient and dilapidated structures - speaks
volumes about the antiquity of the place. However, due to apathy of
all concerned, the magnificent fort got buried under earth and
villagers started constructing their houses there. It was a chance
recovery of a 12x200x25 wall, believed to be of the fort, by Karm
Singh. Since he did not know the historical significance of the place,
he stopped further digging and decided to start construction of his
residence there after filling up the trench. The villagers also found
an old underground water channel on which now many houses had been
constructed.
The onslaught of modernity has never been more visible than in this
village. Many magnificent buildings which once flourished has now
almost disappeared. Hardly anyone is bothered about the preservation
of ancient toys and earthen utensils.
Deputy Commissioner Kahan Singh Pannu, who visited the village along
with NGO members Dev Dard and Talwinder Singh, was surprised to see
the ancient buildings where the archaeologists had found traces of
Mahabharta and Ramayana periods. Dev claimed that he had found grey
and black pottery, which was found during the exaction work at
Kurukshetra.
The deputy commissioner, however, assured the villagers that adequate
compensation would be given to those whose houses would be demolished
to carry out excavation work.
Punjabi writer Manmohan Bawa has already mentioned the defeat of
Alexandra at this village.? The ancient name of the village was "Jundala".
The village is also inhabited by Naths - the descendants of Gorakh
Nath. These ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic
consciousness is intimately linked with breath mastery. The village is
dominated by Hundal Jats. The Hundals are said to be descendants of
Baba Handal.
