Haryana
has a proud history, dating back to the Vedic age. The state of Haryana
was home to the legendary Bharata dynasty, which gave
the name Bharat to India. Kurukshetra, the scene of the epic battle
between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, is situated in Haryana. Haryana
was made into a full fledged state on 1st November 1966 from the Hindi
- speaking regions of Punjab state. The state is located to the southeast
of Punjab state. Chandigarh is the capital of both Haryana and Punjab states.
Most of the population is engaged in agriculture yielding grain,
sugar, oilseeds, and cotton. Historically, Haryana goes back to Mahabharat
times, for it was here, at Kurukshetra, that the war was fought. On the
Mahabharata war battlefield, Lord Krishna preached his divine message The
Bhagavad Gita, to Arjuna. Haryana has a network of 43 tourist complexes, named
after birds. These have been set up along the national/state highways
and at districts, towns and at places around Delhi.
