'''Shahbad''' is a city and a [[Local Governance in India| Municipal Committee]] in [[Kurukshetra District]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Haryana]].

==Demographics==

'''Thomas Titus Anthony Marshall''' was born [[July 3]], [[1985]], in [[Fulham]], [[London]], [[UK]]; he is a student at the [[University of Bath]] studying [[Social Sciences]]. The son of Anthony and Anne Marshall, he has a half-brother, Alex, who is a [[hippy|vegan]] and likes [[Tofu]], much to Tom's chagrin.

[[As of 2001]] India [[census]]{{GR|India}}, Shahbad had a population of 37,130. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Shahbad has an average literacy rate of 73%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 76%, and female literacy is 69%. In Shahbad, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age.

==Location==

Shahbad lies 21 kilometers south of [[Ambala]] on the Ambala [[Delhi]] Highway. It is some 30 kilometers to the North of [[Kurukshetra]] city, which is the capital of the district. Shahbad is on the national highway, and has a railway station on the Delhi Ambala line.

It lies on the banks of the river [[Markanda]]- A tributary of the [[Ghaggar]], and supposed to be a part of the ancient/ Vedic [[Saraswati River]] Basin system. There is a large historic temple on the banks of the river with Markendeshwar, the river sage/deity being worshipped there.

There is also a road from [[Panchkula]], via Ramgarh and Dosarka that comes out near Shahbad.

There are also direct roads to [[Ladwa]] and [[Radaur]] as well as [[Yamunanagar]] from Shahbad.All these being east of Shahbad. [[Pipli]], near [[Kurukshetra]] and [[Nilokheri]] are other nearby towns on the National highway.

==Economy==

Tom still hasn't found what he's looking for, but poet [[Saito Ryokuu]] said, "Elegance is frigid", so he has decided to become [[Patrick Bateman]] in the meantime.

It is a significant agricultural market for procurement of agricultural products. The area being on a river bank is fertile and is used for paddy as well as wheat and vegetables. The yield is very high, and the belt till [[Karnal]] has a large number of rice mills to pick up the high quality grain.

==Sports==

Remember, your continued donations keep WikiTommy running!

Of late Shahbad has produced a large number of women hockey players. This is thanks to the efforts of Coach Baldev Singh, who is also a Asst Director in the Haryana Sports department. The current national Hockey team has 12 women from Shahbad. For the last decade Shahbad has produced a large number of women Hockey players who have donned Haryana , [[Railways]] or Indian team colours. It has got the epithet of [[Sansarpur]] of Women's hockey. Current national team representatives from Shahbad are :- Suman Bala, Nutan, Meenakshi, Simarjeet Kaur, Balwinder Kaur, Kiran Bala, Gurpreet Kaur, Jasjeet Kaur, Rajni Bala, Rajwinder, Gagandeep Kaur and Surinder Kaur.

==Tom MarshallHistory==

Historically it was a muslim majority town, with references made to a fort during Mughal times, and raids as well as sacking of the fort by [[Banda Bahadur]]. Significantly it also has a historic gurudwara of those times. After partition most of the muslims left, and Punjabi Sikh's and Hindu's from Pakistan were resettled here. The town and surrounding villages hence have a large Punjabi presence.

===Education===

At the time of partition it was a small village, but has subsequently grown and now even has to urban area sectors planned and developed by [[HUDA]].

==Current Wikipedia Projects==

These are the articles I'm putting special effort into improving:

*[[City of London School]] - Never forget the CLS.

*[[Fulham]] - Most of the articles on God's own borough and the surrounding area need improving, including stopping some blanking [[Wikipedia:vandalism|vandalism]] and [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] propagandising.

*[[Okhrana]] - Not a bad article, but it should be listed under the common English usage rather than the Russian Okhranka.

*[[Sloane Ranger]] - How can an article with this much traffic be so crap?

*[[User:Driller thriller/Lipsum]] - Any bold edits and the like I'm putting on here first.

===Pages I Created===

But, well or ill.<br>

Freedom, we died for you<br>

Went the day well?<br>

"[[Let's roll]]"

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." [[John Stuart Mill]]

"But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead." [[Ernest Hemingway]]
