History of Jharkhand

Status and concept of Jharkhand is over 2 millennia old and some historians have traced a distinct geo-political, cultural position of Jharkhand even before the period of Magadha Empire. In recent times, according to a legend, Raja Jai Singh Deo of Orissa was accepted as the ruler of Jharkhand by its people in the 13th century.The Singh Deo's of Orissa have been very instrumental in the early history of Jharkhand. Tribal rulers known as the Munda Raja held this region under their control until the Mughal empire period. At this period, the Jharkhand area was known as Kukara area. After year 1765, the area came under the control of British Empire and was known as "Jharkhand"

The pre historical values are from the Magadh empire monarchism and even before it… This state is known to be the oldest location of mankind inhabitance as tribal race even before 13th century. Those days the tribal reign and govern ship weren’t marked fame amidst the people. Therefore, they let allowed the nearby ruler Raja Jai Singh Deo of Orissa to reign Jharkhand, a wise decision to make the place to nourish and flourish and that gave way to the new thriving rulers from the tribe Munda Rajas, even today some part of this region adopt a semi autonomous rules over the state. Later, during the rulers of Mughal emperors conquer this region has been named as Kukara. The year 1765, this was the year that the East Indian Company men made this place go under the rule ship of British empire and from there onwards this region was named as Jharkhand which means “the land of the Jungle”.

In modern times, the demand for a separate Jharkhand state can be traced to early 1900s, when Jaipal Singh, the Oxford educated Captain of 1928 Olympics put forth an idea for a separate state consisting of southern districts of Bihar. Over decades, the idea remained alive in some form or the other. On 2nd August, 2000, the Parliament of India passed the Bihar Reorganization Bill to create the state of Jharkhand, and 18 districts of Bihar were carved out to form Jharkhand state on 15th November, 2000.
