Haryana is a northern Indian state that was carved out of the former state of East Punjab on November 1, 1966. The reorganization of states in India took place as a result of the Punjab Reorganization Act of 1966. This act was passed to address linguistic and regional divisions, as well as to create more administratively viable states.
Before this division, the state of Punjab included both Punjabi-speaking and Hindi-speaking regions, and there were significant linguistic and cultural differences between the two. The demand for a separate state for the Hindi-speaking population of Punjab, which included what is now Haryana, led to the establishment of Haryana as a separate state.
On November 1, 1966, Haryana was officially formed, and it became a distinct state with its own government and administrative structure. The new state's capital was established at Chandigarh, which was also designated as a Union Territory and serves as the shared capital of both Haryana and Punjab. Haryana has since developed into an economically vibrant state and is known for its agricultural and industrial growth, contributing significantly to India's overall development.
