Misleading information about Tilpat

Tilpat (तिलपत) is n ancient town of Mahabharata period in Faridabad district in the Indian State of Haryana. There's nothing such as ballabhgarh district in Haryana. As of 2001 India census, Tilpat had a population of 6377. Males constitute 55% of the population and females 45%. Tilpat has an average literacy rate of 65%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 75%, and female literacy is 53%. Brahmins form a small minority in the village, as opposed to what the article claims. It was one of five villages demanded by Pandavas. Mahabharata tells that When Pandavas were defeated in chausar they were forced to leave the state for 13 years. During most of this time, they lived at place called Varnavata (modern Bairat) in Jaipur district in Rajasthan. Having lived there for pretty long time, the Pandawas sent a message to the Kauravas that they won't lay their claim to the throne if they were given just five villages. These 5 villages were :

Indraprastha (इन्द्रप्रस्थ) (Indarpat) - Purana Kila (Delhi) Panaprastha (पणप्रस्थ) (Panipat) - Haryana Sonaprastha (सोणप्रस्थ) (Sonipat) - Haryana Tilaprastha (तिलप्रस्थ) (Tilpat) - Haryana Vyaghraprastha (व्याग्रप्रस्थ) (Bagpat) - Uttar Pradesh If you study the population of people who lived in all these areas mentioned in Mahabharata it is is found to be the homeland of Jats. All these are still Jat villages. In ancient times these were included in Haryana. Deepjakhar11 (talk) 13:35, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
