Explanation:

In 1805, the British divided present Haryana into two parts due to administrative and political reasons. A smaller part called the Assigned Territories was kept directly under the control of the Company. The larger part was divided and handed over to various local rulers who were faithful and loyal to the British.

The Assigned Territory consisted of the areas under Panipat, Sonepat, Samalkha, Ganaur, Palam, Palwal, Nuh, Nagina, Hathin, Ferozpur Jhirkha, Sohna and Rewari. This area was administered by East India Company's officer, called the Resident and he reported directly to the Governor General. The other larger part was divided into various princely states and handed over to loyal local king and nawabs.

But these arrangements didn't go too well with the people of Haryana who are by nature independent minded and don't like outsiders meddling in their affairs. Therefore, they, especially the Jats of Rohtak and Ahirs and Meos of Gurgaon, rose again in revolt against the rulers. But by 1809, British had established full control over the territory of Haryana.
