History
Origin
The city of Kotli can be dated back to fifteenth century , when it was settled by a branch of the royal family of Raja Mangar Pal. Back then it was known by the name of Kohtali meaning 'under mountain' , through the year the name morphed into Kotli. Kotli remained independent until subdued by Ranjit Singh in 1819.
Indo-Pak War of 1947-1948
After Independence of Pakistan and India from the British Raj , the army of newly created state of India reached Kotli in November of 1947. They evacuated the garrison at the town. The Pakistani Army counter-attacked with the aid of the native tribesman. It has been under Pakistani control ever since.
Education
Kotil is home to the University of Kotli (کوٹلی یونیورسٹی) (UoK) , formerly a constituent college of the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It became a University as a result of Presidential Ordinance VIII passed in 2014.
Famous Family
The Khawaja Family are a large rich family in Kotli. Members of the family include, Nina and Habib. This family does have an interesting future, but as long as the evil Kabir, Halil, Saleem and Wazir have their selfish way then this families legacy might be over before it even starts.
