    History of Jharkhand 

    Jharkhand, an Indian state based in the northeastern part of the country was formed in 2000, after being carved out of Bihar. The region holds a rich historical significance of tribal communities and was a part of several kingdoms. These tribal communities played an important role in the Indian independence movement by actively participating in the struggle. 

    With the independence, socioeconomic benefits arrived for the people of Jharkhand which led to widespread discontent with the Bihar administration. The demands of forming a separate State rose due to the perceived oversight of the region by the Bihar government. This movement for a separate state started gaining momentum in the 1980s and 1990s and several political parties emerged to support the cause. 

    Finally, in 2000, the Jharkhand state was created with Ranchi as its capital. The first government in the State was formed by the Bharatiya Janata Party with Babulal Marandi as the first Chief Minister. Since then, the state has observed several changes in the government with various political parties coming to power.
