Kaul is a big village and the population is well nigh 15000, which is almost five times the average village in
Haryana . The land owning social group in Kaul is primarily the Rors. Kaul is a rather well-developed village and at times people think of it more as a town. The infrastructure is very well-developed and there is a power station very close to Kaul andChaudhary Ishwar Singh had a big role in establishing it. Kaul has a lot ofMohalla s and it is very tough for a single person to remember all the names. Surprisingly, thegotra of all the Rors in theseMohalla s is still the same, Sagwal. Budda Patti, Tunda Patti and Bola Patti are three of the mainMohalla s in the village.Balwant Singh "Ballu" is a great Indian Volleyball player who was born and brought up in Kaul. Kaul was also the place where the political journey ofChaudhary Ishwar Singh started as he was serving as a teacher in this village when people requested him to become a politician.There is a very old fort in a now uninhabited part of the village and a lot of ascetics and saints stay there. Folklore has it that the wheel of
Karna 's chariot had got stuck at that spot during his final fight withArjun inMahabharat . Historically, Kaul was a major center of learning and there was a famousSanskrit Mahavidyalaya joined with the "ashram " ofKapil Muni, one of the most learned and reveredHindu sages of ancientIndia .Kapil Muni was mentioned by SriKrishna during the sermon ofGita toArjun inMahabharat . Putting this information into perspective and referring toSubhash Kak , who has placedMahabharat war at 1924 B.C., it can be concluded that Kaul was established around 2000 B.C. if not before that.Education
