The
major city in the Punjab is
Amritsar, the holy city of the
Sikhs. Chandigarh, a new planned
city, was conceived and built in
the 1950s to serve as the
capital of the new Punjab. In
1966, Punjab underwent another
split. It was divided into the
predominantly Sikh and Punjabi-
speaking state of Punjab and the
state of Haryana. At the same
time some of the northern parts
of the Punjab were hived off to
Himachal Pradesh. Chandigarh on
the border of Punjab and
Haryana, remains the capital of
the two states, yet is
administered as a union
territory from Delhi.
Punjab, the chief wheat
producing area of the country,
is the overland entry point into
India. The state is also known
for its production of sports and
hosiery goods. |
