Karnana, India

Karnana is a village in Punjab, India, approximately 5 km from Banga in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district (formerly known as Nawan Shahir).

Karnana has a mix of Sikh and Hindu Rajput families plus Brahmin and Chamars few other minority casts.

Mian Sansar Chand received some land as gift from the Jagir of Manhas Rajput relatives, where he established the village of Kalra.

No doubt some references can be found in memoirs of Babur, Akbar and Jahangir translated by various authors but the information is varied and sketchy.

There is an old Shivdwala consolidating old rajput ancestry and gurdwaras linking as to how sikhism flourished at a later date in this region in the face of Mugal invasion as well as during Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s time to which this village is no exception.
