Meerut is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
It is an ancient city with settlements dating back to the Indus Valley civilization having been found in and around the area.

The city lies 70 km (43 mi) Northeast of the National capital New Delhi, and 453 km (281 mi) NorthWest of the state capital, Lucknow. The city may have derived its name from Maya Rashtra, the capital of the kingdom of Mayasura, Mandodari's father and Ravana's father-in-law. This name may have mutated to Mairashtra, Mai-dant-ka-khera, Mairaath and eventually Meerut.
According to another version, Maya(sura), being a distinguished architect, received from King Yudhisthira the land on which the city of Meerut now stands and he called this place Mayarashtra, a name which in the course of time became shortened to Meerut. Tradition also has it that the city formed a part of the dominions of Mahipala, the king of Indraprastha, and the word Meerut is associated with his name

  • meerut is a historical place. Meerut people faced several attacks from west part of the country and always saved other parts of India from attacks. Meerut is having its own identity in history eg. RAVANA In laws belongs to Meerut, Hastinapur is in District Meerut, lakh mahal where duryodhan tried to kill pandavas in meerut, In 1857 freedom fight started from meerut and there is memory stone till is lying in Laali paltan mandir, good academic facility and huge developed farming area, farmers are mostly dependent with their own infrastructure, good marketing place like AbuLane, Safar Bazar and a very good chat bazar. I Love meerut because this city and area gives me lot.

  • if we talk about meerut we must talk about its water,food and freash air....the originality in all natural things ( no milawat -adulteration )......you can't find such taste at anywhere.Today this city has 4 universities.Major education hub having more than 50 engineering and professional colleges.This city or the areas nearby u can say are the sugar bowl of India. This city is also employing around seventy thousand people through gold business.This is known for its publication houses,Sweets.....even known for Nauchandi Mela, which creats a sense of brotherhood and integrity among the people.

  • Aggressive but softhearted and ever helping people are found in the great city of Meerut. I would like to mention that Meerut is a very famous place among the students that is because of the publications. Great publication houses are situated in Meerut City. All other things people have mentioned about Meerut... I miss lot of things ..... DARAWAL ka mangoshake.. HARIYA ki lassi.... DELHIWALE ke chhole-bhature... RADHE ki chat... and most important saade meerut ki kudiyaan....
  • I find my house today in 2010 january. I surprised to see it, I want to hello to all my well wishers, hello
  • I am writing not only because I am born and brought up in this sensitive city, with mixed population of human with different caste , faith and community, But also because I love it. My friends have very well described the feature of the city Called “MEERUT” . Yes no doubt, this city is famous for Sports Goods, Scissors , Revri, Gazzak, Excellent Medical Facilities and of course known for history of communal riots, but I would like to add few things such as HALIM BIRYANI . HALIM is a yellow colored thick delicious dish prepared with Meat , Wheat, & Pulses and eaten with BIRYANI ( in Meerut) sold on every corner of Meerut roads on hand pulled Rickshaws. The Famous Outlets to eat is at Hapur Road near GULMARG Cinema & Ghantaghar. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: The city is famous for export of Musical Instruments such as Tabla Sets , Saxophones Damroo, French Horns , Harmoniums, Euphoniums, Trumpets, Pocket Trumpet, Tamborine, Value Trumbone, Baritone, Bugles, Cornet, Pocket Cornet & Horns. It is said that the National Anthem of every country in the world is sang on the tunes of Trumpets made in Meerut. The musical instruments are exported to the US, Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, New Zealand. But if you are planning to go out for having good time with your friends & Family you will have go through the busy & congested roads listening to the loud sound of horns from everywhere. There is only one rule for traffic i.e. NO RULE. The city is as crazy for cricket as the whole nation. The cricket grounds like Victoria parks ( infamous for fire incidence), Gymkhana, Gandhi Bagh ( famous for Majnu Operation), Kailash Prakash Stadium etc remains busy all days to give another “Praveen Kumar” to Indian Cricket. I could not be to the city for the last eight years due to my studies & Job but I remain in touch with my friends and Family to be updated about the incidence which the city witnesses. The education standards have gone higher, people are more educated and intellectual but there is still scope for improvement in area like traffic systems, Electricity supply, financial support to small scale business etc. With the plan of International Airport coming up in the City the fortune of Thousands of People is definitely going to be changed.
  • I love all Meerutvassi.I am anil Agarwal From Mumbai
  • it is true that there are a lot things to cheer about our city . it has been the place where the first agitation of indian soldiers towards the britishers was observed . but the central government failed to give the city its deserving status ,so that it may be a place for the tourists to visit .
