History
Karnah:- Its original name was Karnav. Small Rajas used to rule the area from early times. Bombas ruled the area for a long time as independent Rajas who were later on conquered by the Jat Sikhs. Beets and some other Historians call them a race of looters and Raj Trangni indicates that Karnah had remained a hiding and conniving place for outlaws and defeated Kings. It is thought that Karnah has been setup by Raja Karn of early period and Gomal village of the area has been founded by Goomti Devi, in Sikh period. Sher Ahmed Khan, A Bomba Raja, tyrant by nature, was lastly conquered by Mahraja Rambeer Singh. A portion of Jamia Masjid Tangdar is fenced separately and the inhabitants believe that Hazrat Shahi Hamdan had stayed in this corner for some time. [1]
