About Gurgaon. I never thought it had such a rich history

Ever thought why it is called Gurgaon?
(for some who don't know where is Gurgaon. Gurgaon is situated in the National Capital Region of Delhi)

Well, Gurgaon means Guru + gaon. that is, village of guru. It is said that Gurgaon is the ancestral village of Guru Dronacharya, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas.
