During the early 1800s, when India was under British colonial rule, Silokhra was a part of the Paragana of Badshahpur-Jharsa. This region was ruled by Begum Samru (1753-1836), who constructed a magnificent palace for herself between Badshahpur and Jharsa. Jharsa was the primary cantonment of Begum Samru. |

The Iron Soul of Silokhara: A Legacy of Service and Resolve |
|||
In the quiet heart of Haryana, nestled among fields and humble homes, lies the village of Silokhara—once graced by a man whose heartbeat resonated with the spirit of the people. Pandit Amar Singh Sharma, born July 30, 1940, was not merely a senior member of the village council—he was its soul. |
|||
Celebrated as the architect of Silokhara’s modern development, Pandit Sharma valued action over accolades. Elected three times to the panchayat, he never pursued power but earned deep trust. On one occasion, he shouldered the responsibilities of a village head without holding the formal title—leading solely through moral authority and respect. His influence extended beyond Silokhara to neighboring villages like Saini Khera and Sukhdali, where he united communities through shared purpose and compassion. |
|||
But his reach was not confined to official roles—it touched hearts. Affectionately known in the village as Chacha Amar Singh, he was a beacon of warmth and wisdom. His collaboration with former Gurugram MLA Chaudhary Dharmbir Gauba further amplified his spirit of service. |
|||
From building roads to defending rights, his tireless efforts brought hope to the underserved. Thus, he earned the title of Iron Man—not for physical strength, but for his unyielding will to serve. |
|||
That torch of service did not extinguish with him. In 2008, his son Lalit Sharma stepped onto the same path, proving that true legacy lives not in memory, but in action. |
|||
On December 6, 2015, the village bid farewell to its guide, protector, and friend. Yet his presence lingers in every new pathway, every smiling face, and every respectful whisper of Chacha Amar Singh. |
|||
His journey reminds us: greatness is not born of showmanship, but of service—woven into every noble deed. |
