Jharkhand (lit. "Bushland" or The land of forest) is a state in eastern India, carved out of the southern part of Bihar on 15 November 2000.[7] The state shares its border with the states of Bihar to the north, Uttar Pradesh to the northwest, Chhattisgarh to the west, Odisha to the south and West Bengal to the east. It has an area of 79,710 km2 (30,778 sq mi). It is the 16th largest state by area, and the 14th largest by population. Hindi is official language of the state.[4] The city of Ranchi is its capital and Dumka its sub capital. The state is known for its waterfalls, hills and holy places.[8] Baidyanath Dham, Parasnath and Rajrappa are major religious places.[9]
The region has been inhabited since the Mesolithic-Chalcolithic period, as shown by several ancient cave paintings in the state.[10][11] Even evidence of use of iron was earlier than other part of north-west India as carbon dating indicate that use of iron started in this region early as 1400 BCE. [12] Due to plateau reign and forest tracts, this region most of time remains little affected by outside empire.[13] Maurya , Gupta, Gauda , Nagvanshi, Ramgarh Raj, Chero ruled for brief period in the region.
