== Origin of name ==<br />
This geographical area derives its name from the clan of [[Bhattis]] / [[Bhati]]s, The Bhatti clan is found in [[Rajputs]] of Punjab region and [[Rajputs]] of Jaisalmer region. The Battiana territories, traditionally controlled by the Bhatis, covered a part of modern Haryana and Punjab, and extended up to [[Bikaner]], [[Rajasthan]].<ref>[https://www.punjab.gov.pk/hafizabad_history History of Hafizabad, Punjab, Pakistan] Punjab Portal website, Retrieved 30 May 2021</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The region was devastated during the (late-14th century) invasion of the north-western parts of the [[Indian subcontinent]] by [[Timur]].<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Bhattiana|volume=3|page=845}}</ref> Thereafter, the regions fell under the control of the different rulers, including the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]], and with the weakening of the Mughals, became a part of the [[British Raj]] from mid-19th century. A district of Bhattiana was formed in 1837, but in 1858 it was transferred to the Punjab and absorbed into the [[Sirsa district]], itself later divided up.<ref name=EB1911/><br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
Bhattiana no longer exists as an administrative unit and these regions are the parts of the [[Republic of India]]. Current day [[Sirsa, Haryana|Sirsa]] was essentially Bhattiana but also included parts of current day [[Fatehabad district|Fatehabad]] district such as [[Ratia]] and [[Rania, Haryana|Rania]].<br />
