==Origin==<br />
The Hariana breed, found in Haryana and eastern [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], is one of the 75 known breeds of zebu (''Bos indicus'').<ref>"Hariana — India: Haryana, eastern Punjab" page 245 ''In'' Porter, Valerie (1991) ''Cattle: A Handbook to the Breeds of the World'' Helm, London, {{ISBN|0-8160-2640-8}}</ref><br />
<br />
Zebu is split about evenly between African and South Asian breeds. Zebu cattle are thought to be derived from [[Aurochs#subspecies|Asian aurochs]], sometimes regarded as a [[subspecies]], ''Bos primigenius namadicus''<ref name="Vuure">{{cite book |author=van Vuure, Cis |year=2005 |title=Retracing the Aurochs: History, Morphology and Ecology of an Extinct Wild Ox |publisher=Pensoft Publishers |location=Sofia-Moscow |isbn=954-642-235-5}}</ref> Wild Asian aurochs disappeared during the time of the [[Indus Valley civilisation]] from its range in the [[Indus River]] basin and other parts of South Asia possibly due to interbreeding with domestic zebu and resultant fragmentation of wild populations due to [[loss of habitat]].<ref name="IWH2">{{cite book |author=Rangarajan, Mahesh |year=2001 |title=India's Wildlife History |page=4 |location=[[Delhi]], India |publisher=Permanent Black |isbn=978-81-7824-140-1}}</ref><br />
